Disaster Artist

Chapter 208: finishing touch

After the "Xia Nv" station was stamped, Jiang Shiqi couldn't wait to line up at the small pavilion opposite, just like a loyal little movie fan.

Is it more than Jiang Shiqi alone?

The reporters who arrived at the scene are all well-informed old fritters, but they have never participated in such a premiere, which is not only novel but also moving.

Originally, all of them came to watch the fun, but now they are all joining in the fun, and the chattering voices merged into the heat wave at the scene.

"Wow! Wow! There is actually 'Wushan Misty Rain'. It's too rare. This planner is really tasteful, and he didn't miss such a rare and classic work."

"What? It's outrageous. What's going on with the 'Good Boy' series? It doesn't fit in here, it just destroys the sensibility."

"What's wrong with 'good boy'? For some people, this is a childhood memory. You are allowed to like high art, but we are not allowed to like childhood joy? You are discriminating, discriminating!"

In this room, reporters gathered in twos and threes, arguing in a hustle and bustle, and couldn't wait to express their strong support for their favorite works.

It can be seen from this that almost no one can make exceptions to the powerful influence of action movies at their peak.

In that room, there are also reporters who ignore these trivial matters and discuss more in-depth matters on their own, and have already set their sights on a longer-term perspective.

"I'm even more curious about who is the mastermind behind the scenes. You see, there is actually 'Master', that is, the movie six years ago, which should be regarded as one of the few excellent works of action movies in recent years, but it didn't attract much attention when it was released. Mind you, if I remember correctly, it’s only been offline in three weeks. I didn’t expect to be able to take a place here today.”

"Indeed, good taste."

"Isn't it Lu Qian? The film list for the retrospective was chosen by Lu Qian."

"You believe in this PR article? You are still a reporter in vain. How old is Lu Qian? Twenty-one? Twenty-two? How could he possibly have seen so many movies? I used to be an idol singer, this must have been pointed out by an expert behind him, and then put up Lu Qian's name to create an image for him."

"But no matter who the mastermind is, the special of tonight's premiere is certain. I've never been able to experience such a special premiere before. Lu Qian really won a lot."

"That's not necessarily true. If it's a movie like 'The Boss Overspeeding', such a premiere may be self-defeating. The audience just wants to see Fan Li, so what's the result? But this time, the clever part is that the The retrospective and the premiere are seamlessly connected, and then the 'raid' is screened again, it seems that it should be aimed at the word-of-mouth market."

"I went around and talked about it, but it's not the success of the premiere."

Chatting, journalists also joined the discussion, one or two all scrambling to give their opinions.

It can be seen from here that the discussion is hot enough, and whether you like it or not is another story.

However, just when reporters and audiences thought that was all, the premiere quietly played new tricks again, bringing surprises——

The point is to be silent and elusive.

When the actors headed by Guan Zhou appeared on the red carpet, the reporters and the audience were very stunned, because the film crew again played their cards according to common sense:

The actors did not bathe under the flashlights at all according to the treatment of artists, but just like ordinary movie fans, they stopped and queued at one kiosk after another, and then received their passports, stamped one after another, no different from the audience. place.

If it weren't for the overwhelming amount of movie trailers that made people remember Guan Zhou's face firmly, maybe no one at the scene could recognize that they were actually actors, and they were also the starring roles of "raid", and their simple appearance was completely integrated. On the spot, there is no sense of inconsistency.

It was not until the photo area at the entrance of the Dome Cinema that their identities slowly surfaced.

"Ah! They are actually actors!

Amazement and astonishment surged on the scene.

I have to say that this is another brilliant trick, which can be regarded as the finishing touch. The main lineup of the original "raid" was all newcomers. Even if the red carpet was laid and the flashing lights were focused, it would be difficult for the audience to scream——

Paying extras to scream capitalism may be the only way to go.

But now the starring lineup is all scattered into the crowd like ordinary people, without any special treatment, and then the audience suddenly realized that the person who just appeared beside them was actually a movie actor, turned around and walked onto the red carpet , the impact of the contrast and shock is like the movie breaking the fourth wall, and the sense of magic arises spontaneously.

Inspiration comes from Lu Qian. To be precise, it should come from a movie that Lu Qian likes very much, "Purple Rose of Cairo".

In this movie, the heroine Cecilia watched a movie over and over again and liked the actor Tom very much. She was even skilled enough to recite all the lines and expressions. As a result, one day, Cecilia was watching this movie again. The movie, only to find that Tom suddenly turned his head to speak to her.

Just when Cecilia thought it was his delusion, Tom simply walked off the screen, then took Cecilia's hand and escaped from the cinema.

"Purple Rose of Cairo" is the most ingenious, real and interesting work that uses the technique of breaking the fourth wall of the film after "Sherlock Holmes II", and really puts forward a conjecture:

What if your favorite movie plot/movie character broke the fourth wall and became a reality?

Based on this idea, Lu Qian also broke the fourth wall outside the "raid" movie, allowing the actors to come into life and become an ordinary audience, thereby creating a wonderful experience where the boundaries between movies and reality are blurred, and successfully. Put the spotlight on everyone who comes to the premiere.

As a result, the audience got excited one by one, and then screamed and cheered to make the scene lively~www.novelmt.com~ Instead, it created a huge noise.

The crowd was full of people.

In a trance, a wonderful sense of detachment appeared, as if this was not a movie premiere, but a group of ordinary movie lovers gathered because of a fan club, and then prepared to watch their long-awaited movie, That kind of excitement and excitement can flow out through body language without language, come together and collide with sparks.

Did this really happen?

Jiang Shiqi was in a trance, completely forgetting his work in a daze.

Ji Xu was also in a trance.

He couldn't believe that Lu Qian's wild ideas actually succeeded, he couldn't believe that Xiu Zhongjun could do it to such an extent according to Lu Qian's ideas, and he couldn't believe that such an ingenious premiere was actually produced. An astonishing event.

Even when I was on the scene, I couldn't help but wonder:

Is all this actually happening?
