Gu Weiwei and the rest of the main cast members each talked about the roles they played.
Fu Shiyi performed the movie's theme song "Dream Awakening" on stage, and then went straight into the premiere screening.
The movie was 120 minutes long, and the lights came on as soon as it finished.
The host stepped forward and asked, "Is our 'Half-Awake' good?"
"Beautiful!" came the unanimous reply from the audience.
Gu Weiwei and the main cast members went back on stage and bowed to the audience to express their gratitude.
The fans in the audience watched the girl in her simple dress with great interest. They came to support her because they liked her previous movies and what she had been going through recently.
Therefore, not many people have high hopes for the films she directs.
But after watching it, they realized that their idols had never let them down.
Whether as a director or an actress, she has always done her best.
This film's selection for the Locarno Film Festival is well-deserved.
After the screening, it was time for Gu Weiwei and her group to answer questions from the media and fans.
Because of last night's "Dialogue" program, she, who was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly had the tables turned with Li Xin'er.
Therefore, almost all the media questions were about her feud with Li Xin'er.
"Mu Weiwei, you and Li Xin'er are half-sisters, why have you never mentioned it to the public?"
Gu Weiwei smiled wryly, "I don't think there's anything worth mentioning. I also hope that people pay attention to me because of me and my work, and not because of anything else."
"Mu Weiwei, do you think the car accident back then was an accident or intentional?"
Gu Weiwei pursed her lips, sighed, and declared.
"First of all, thank you all for your concern, but today is the movie premiere, so I hope that the questions you ask will be about the movie."
Some media outlets were kind enough to give her face and stopped pursuing the matter.
"Mu Weiwei, you've only acted in two movies since you entered the industry, why did you decide to become a director? Some people act for decades and never think of becoming a director?"
Gu Weiwei: "I'd rather be a director than an actress, but I'm not famous and I don't have any roles to direct, so I started as an actress while learning and accumulating experience on set..."
"Are you kidding me? To become a director, you have to be an actor first?" Fu Shiyi complained.
The audience burst into laughter, creating a very relaxed atmosphere.
After a media interview session following the screening, most of the audience members who attended the premiere began to leave.
Gu Weiwei saw film critic Cheng Yibai and went over to say hello.
"Teacher Cheng, I didn't expect you to come too."
"I never expected that you are not only an excellent actress, but also an excellent director." Cheng Yibai shook her hand excitedly.
At first, he didn't believe that her film could be selected for the Locarno Film Festival.
I saw it for myself today and realized that they truly have the capability.
If I hadn't watched her make her way into this industry, I wouldn't have believed that this was a film she directed.
Whether it's script selection or shooting style, it's in no way inferior to top-tier directors.
In fact, they did a better job than them in many details.
"Teacher Cheng, I'll get proud if you praise me like that," Gu Weiwei said with a mischievous smile.
Cheng Yibai: "You have every reason to be proud."
This film will definitely be the most influential work in the Chinese film industry this year.
And she will inevitably become a legendary new director in the film industry.
