The total investment for the movie "Capital" is 30 million, so the advertisements and publicity are everywhere.
Even inside Tianhe Cinema, promotional posters of "Capital City" were pasted all over the elevator entrance and the mall entrance.
Liu Fangfei is the heroine of "Capital City" and has a certain fan appeal. So when Fatty Wei and the other man squeezed in to buy tickets and looked at the huge crowd, they suddenly felt a sense of sourness and jealousy in their hearts.
There is really no comparison between the grandness of their own movies and that of "Capital City". If one is tall, rich and handsome, then the other is fat or even a complete loser.
The premiere of "Capital City" was also very luxurious, and the pre-sale tickets were sold out. Of course, there were also various autographed photos of Liu Fangfei and various peripheral relaxation items. It was simply too lively.
Everyone thinks that "Capital City" will be a hit, a huge hit, and it's even very likely to become the box office champion in September.
After watching the premiere, even Fatty Wei had this feeling.
After watching the trailer of "Capital City" outside the cinema, Fatty Wei shook his head and walked into the cinema.
"Brother Wei, do we want to take a photo?"
"Shoot a chicken, put it away..."
"oh."
After walking into the cinema and the movie started, Fatty Wei finally did not use his camera to film the pirated version.
It wasn't that Fatty Wei suddenly became more virtuous and wanted to fight with "Ducheng" in an upright manner, but the security guards were really ferocious, their eyes were as big as copper bells and kept scanning...
Fatty Wei was afraid that if he took out the camera, he would be beaten so badly that his parents wouldn't be able to recognize him.
So, he chose to swallow his bad thoughts and watch the movie obediently.
He has no choice.
After all, a man who knows the times is a hero...
He felt that a young talent like himself should be able to bend and stretch.
The movie started soon.
I have to say that the investment in "Capital" is really impressive. The male lead Li Yunyan is good-looking, the female lead Liu Fangfei is good-looking, and some props, scenes and special effects are very well done. The more Fatty Wei watched, the more he felt that his "Buried Alive" was going to be a tragedy...
Tragedy is normal, isn't it?
A movie with a small investment of 800,000 yuan was produced with a big investment of 30 million yuan...
Damn, what did I think before?
Am I crazy?
This wine, I really can't drink it...
If I drink any more, I’ll probably become even braver and dare to rush into the imperial city to challenge the big boss.
Fatty Wei sighed.
I feel like I have no chance of winning...
However, no matter what happens, there will always be a turning point.
After watching most of the movie, Fatty Wei suddenly felt much better.
Why?
Because I don't know what happened to this "Capital City", the plot line is very messy, the rhythm is also messy, most of the investment was spent on big stars and special effects, and Shen Lianjie wanted to show off his literary and artistic style, which made the details and plot look a bit confusing.
A good commercial film was dragged into being neither artistic nor commercial, and many of the plots even looked extremely awkward.
This is a pitfall...
Fatty Wei took the opportunity to glance at the other audience members. When he saw that they also had confused expressions, he felt much better.
This Shen Lianjie is probably going to fail...
"What?"
"Fuck, all I see are props flying around. How come there's no plot?"
"What do you mean? Is the heroine dead?"
"Fuck... this is really a dissuasion!"
"What happened? It's gone with just one hit. You're being too perfunctory..."
"I suddenly feel a little unworthy..."
"I wanted to support her twice for Miss Liu Fangfei, but now it seems that I should forget it."
"Support for nothing..."
"I went to see 'Metro Station'."
"Yeah, I went to see Metro Station, too."
“I heard that Buried Alive is good.”
“Can you get a ticket?”
“I can’t buy it…”
"What are you talking about..."
After the movie ended, Fatty Wei felt very happy when he heard the audience leaving.
Even the way he walks has a bit of a happy-go-lucky vibe, and I feel like singing a few lines of a song!
Who wouldn't be unhappy when hearing others say that Shen Lianjie's movies are bad and his own movies are good?
Fatty Wei was so happy!
So hi...
…
“Beep, beep, beep.”
"What are you doing?"
"I'm reading the script."
"Didn't you go to the movies?"
"No."
"Don't you want to know how strong your opponent is? Or are you sure you can do it?"
"Uh... I'm just simply not interested."
"Don't you watch other movies?"
"Occasionally."
"What kind do you like?"
"A horror movie."
"There's a horror movie that's okay. Do you want to go watch it tonight?"
"No, I need to go to bed early at night..."
“…”
“Beep.”
In the evening, Lu Yuan received a call from Wang Jinxue. The call seemed to reveal a hint that Lu Yuan did not quite understand.
Of course, the ending was that Wang Jinxue hung up the phone halfway through her speech.
Lu Yuan didn't care. Wang Jinxue often did this when talking to him on the phone. She would hang up the phone suddenly without any reason.
Lu Yuan was used to it.
After sorting out his thoughts about the performance, Lu Yuan shook his head and planned to go to the street to get some takeout.
I don’t know why, but I used to smoke a few cigarettes when I went out. However, after reading "The Wanderer" written by Qian Zhong, Lu Yuan suddenly lost a lot of desire to smoke. He even felt weird when he thought of a certain plot.
He hasn't smoked for a day.
It seems like an impossible task.
This was a remarkable thing for him, and even he found it incredible.
Did you quit smoking after filming "The Wanderer"?
this……
Is it suitable?
“Beep, beep, beep.”
Before going out, Lu Yuan's phone rang again. Lu Yuan looked at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Lu, where are you?"
"Um, I just left the company."
"Congratulations. I saw your film Buried Alive. It was shot very well and of very high quality."
"Uh, thank you!"
"Are you free in a few days?"
"In a few days...I should be free."
"Oh, then pack up and get ready, and follow me."
"Venice?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
"Uh, the question is fine, but what are we going there for?"
"You've been nominated for Best Song Written for a Film or TV Series."
"What? I won a prize?"
"What are you thinking about? It's a nomination award, a nomination, not a prize."
"oh."
Lu Yuan was a little confused and had not yet reacted to the voice.
"Wait, doesn't Venice have this kind of award?" Lu Yuan asked subconsciously after reacting.
"There wasn't one before, but this year we opened a special prize..."
"Oh oh oh, okay, then I'll go over there..."
"Be prepared for everything you need to prepare, you know, maybe you'll end up on camera."
"Okay, wait, you want a passport?"
"Nonsense, you didn't?"
"I don't……"
"Haven't you used it before?"
“I’ve never been abroad…”
"Then hurry up and do it now. There's still time to ask for help."
"Oh, I have a question."
"What's the problem?"
"Um... can the air tickets be reimbursed? Are food and accommodation included?"
“…”
“Beep, beep, beep.”
Lu Yuan naturally recognized the voice on the phone. It was Zhang Tong, the director of "Subway Station". Zhang Tong seemed very excited, but after hearing Lu Yuan ask if the air ticket could be reimbursed, he hung up the phone.
Lu Yuan wondered why these people were so impetuous recently...
but……
Lu Yuan still scratched his head.
I was nominated for an award?
Can I still go abroad?
Is it so cool?
but……
Can the air ticket be reimbursed?
…
"It looks like the first day's box office is about to come out. I'm so excited!"
"yes!"
“Which movie do you think would come in first place?”
"Metropolis or Metro Station?"
"That's what I think."
"Uh? The data seems to be out..."
"Um?"
