At Yue Guan's suggestion, Chen Kaige finally accepted the screening proposal.
Although she is still worried inside, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law.
Avoiding will not solve the problem.
Chen Kaige, together with a group of main creators, started the screening journey of "Search".
In fact, screenings are similar to road shows. They have to interact with the audience. We hope that the quality of the film can be recognized by the audience, and then we hope that the audience can spontaneously promote the film's reputation.
If you want the audience to help you promote your product, you must do your best.
Therefore, chatting with the main creator has become a basic operation.
Tell the audience who came to watch the movie the stories behind the scenes, the metaphors of the movie, and the things that tickled the audience.
This is what the creative team will do after the screening.
Judgment Day is coming.
The movie "Search" begins.
Yue Guan sat next to Chen Kaige and could clearly feel Chen Kaige's nervousness.
He found it a little funny that such an old gun could be like Hina.
But you can understand it if you think about it.
If "Search" fails again, Chen Kaige will have already made several consecutive hits.
This will affect his historical status.
Who can see through the word fame and fortune
Fortunately, it was as Yue Guan expected, because Chen Kaige didn't have time to instill too much personal will into the movie "Search", which allowed him to strictly follow the script and shoot a high-quality movie.
It starts with cyber violence and ends with cyber violence.
Ye Lanqiu was bullied online, causing her to commit suicide and leave this world.
And her death made the culprits who caused her to be bullied online all pay a heavy price, completely changing their lives.
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation.
If you don’t believe it, look up and see who God has spared.
All the evildoers got what they deserved.
Moreover, they fell in front of the most skilled weapon they used - cyberbullying.
Except for those netizens who represent justice.
They are always "just".
They exist to bring light to this world.
They are seeking justice by exposing the culprits who harmed Ye Lanqiu online.
After "Search" ended, there was no immediate applause at the screening.
Almost all the audience fell into deep thought.
The movie "Search" is not a movie that makes people feel amazing.
But this movie can really make the audience think.
During the promotion, "Search" made it clear that it was an artistic film, so the audience would not watch "Search" with the expectation of watching a commercial blockbuster.
From the perspective of a literary film, the audience watched this movie.
Then, I was deeply shocked.
After a minute, sparse applause erupted from the screening room.
After Chen Kaige saw this scene, he felt extremely cold.
Ruined.
This is obviously not the reaction to seeing a good movie.
Failed again
Thinking of this, Chen Kaige felt extremely bitter.
Yue Guan is much more optimistic than Chen Kaige.
He watched the entire movie and basically expressed everything written in the script.
Chen Kaige is a master at restraining himself, and his shot scheduling and multi-line narrative are beautifully completed.
Qin Lan's performance does not stretch his hips. In terms of acting skills, Qin Lan's acting skills are actually probably better than Gao Yuanyuan's.
Plus his changed ending.
The quality of this version of "Search" is obviously higher than that of Gao Yuanyuan in the previous life.
And Gao Yuanyuan's version of "Search" was successful, so there is no reason why this version of "Search" will hit the streets.
This is indeed the case.
When the creative team started communicating with the audience, the audience immediately gave positive feedback.
"Exceptionally good. Although the movie didn't make me laugh or cry, it made me think."
If this feedback is the feedback after watching a commercial blockbuster, then the movie is definitely doomed.
Fortunately, "Search" is a literary film.
Moreover, "Searching" is indeed a film that allows the audience to reflect after watching it.
"Director Chen, I want to apologize to you."
A male audience member came up and bowed to Chen Kaige, which shocked Chen Kaige.
"Director Chen, I have hacked you many times on the Internet before. I always thought that you were done with your career after filming "Farewell My Concubine," but you slapped me in the face with "Search."
The narrative of this movie is clean and neat, and the sensational points are all over the place. Although it is a literary film, the pace is very moderate. Director Chen, you showed off your master-level skills in just a small attempt. I used to look down on others. "
What this old man said made Chen Kaige blush.
The narrative of "Search" is indeed clean and neat, with only the most sensational points, and the pace is deliberately faster, but for God's sake, this is all the fault of Yue Guan.
If you let him shoot freely, he will definitely slow down the pace of the narrative, explore more of the inner complexity of human nature, and let the audience empathize with the characters more deeply.
That is Chen Kaige's ideal "Search".
It was only because time did not allow that "Search" was filmed like this.
But it seems to be well received
If it was just this old man who said this, Chen Kaige would still think it was an accident.
But nearly everyone had nothing but positive things to say about Search.
""Search" - Chen Kaige returns to the top of his work."
"I am a fan of Yue Guan and a fan of Qin Lan. I originally supported them both in watching "Search". I watched "The Orphan of Zhao" in the cinema and vowed never to watch Chen Kaige's movie again. But after watching "Search", it was so delicious!"
"Chen Kaige's transformation, Chen Kaige has obviously evolved. In "Search", he restrained his desire for expression and dedicated a very ironic story to the audience - it is so complete. I can't believe that "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" is him. It was taken years ago.”
"Master Kai is Master Kai. Facts have proved that you should never underestimate those who have reached the top."
Suddenly, Chen Kaige was surrounded by praises.
Almost everyone was praising him and praising "Search". Chen Kaige once thought he was back when he just won the Palme d'Or.
He couldn't believe it.
"Is it really not the navy arranged by the crew?" Chen Kaige asked.
Chen Hong shook her head: "The crew did make some arrangements, but most of them were spontaneous comments from netizens."
"I've been scolded a lot, but I still can't believe it." Chen Kaige said with a wry smile: "After "Search" is actually released, let's look at the box office trend. The box office is the most real."
The box office performance of "Search" did not disappoint Chen Kaige.
Three hundred and ten million dragon yuan!
It set a box office record for Dragon Kingdom art films.
Chen Kaige ascended to the altar and was once again compared to Zhang Yimou.
But this time, Chen Kaige did not swell.
He collected together all the reports that praised him, his face and mood were very complicated.
Chen Hong didn't understand why Chen Kaige behaved like this: "Old Chen, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy when your grades are good?"
Chen Kaige let out a long sigh: "This is not the movie I want to make, and it does not count as my achievement."
"What do you mean?" Chen Hong didn't understand.
"This is Yue Guan's movie. The advantages these people praise are all due to Yue Guan's script."
Chen Hong was puzzled: "But it was you who took the photo."
"It's different. I didn't want to shoot it like this."
Chen Hong understood somewhat. She glanced at Chen Kaige and asked directly to his heart: "You don't want to shoot like this, but you can shoot like this, right?"
Chen Kaige acquiesced.
"I understand, Lao Chen, do you want to be praised or scolded? Do you want to succeed or fail?"
Chen Kaige let out a long sigh.
Success is the best lobbyist.
He had not experienced flowers and applause for a long time.
Really enjoyed it.
That’s all.
Chen Kaige shook his head: "I agreed to Mo Xiangwan's conditions and I will restrain myself when filming "Long Night"."
After a pause, Chen Kaige said to himself: "I will try my best to restrain myself from now on."
Reality cannot teach him how to behave.
But success can.
Flowers and applause, yes.
