The success of the First Film Festival opening ceremony exceeded many people's expectations.
Although like most award ceremonies, many singers were invited to perform.
However, everyone sang movie theme songs. Even Luo Chen's "Rose Boy" was bought by a director and used in a campus movie.
Moonlight Girls also took the stage for the second time, but they seemed much more relaxed this time.
The song sung this time was "Sunny", which was naturally used to promote "Sunny Sisters".
Everyone knows it, but compared to the version of the finals, today's game is easier.
However, many people felt moved that day because there was no competition.
As the opening ceremony drew to a close, the trailers for the ten films on display finally appeared.
The first to be affected is "Sunny Sisters".
Logically speaking, it is a magical thing that a movie like this, which mainly focuses on the female perspective, has no special effects and is not based on a well-known IP, has nearly 500,000 people wanting to watch it on major ticket purchasing apps.
However, the audience still chose to believe Zhou Yi Yang. His previous work "Moonlight Girl" severely slapped the face of the industry.
This time, "Sunny" also has a campus plot, and those who like to watch youth films are naturally full of expectations.
In the trailer, Zhou Yi Yang certainly did not disappoint this group of people, and half of the shots were given to this group of young actors.
The settings and details pay tribute to the style of the 1980s, making many viewers smile knowingly when they see these scenes.
The other half still stands out from Zhou Yiyang's ambition. Compared with their carefree youth, they are distressed after growing up. The audience can't help but wonder what they have experienced.
Many people were especially surprised when they saw the actresses wearing black clothes and appearing in the mourning hall.
It’s a pity that Zhou Yiyang did not give them a frontal shot, so the audience could not guess who the deceased was.
The trailer was simultaneously released on all online platforms, and the number of views is increasing rapidly.
The young directors were a little surprised.
At the beginning, many of them thought that Zhou Yiyang’s film appearing on the exhibition list was an unspoken rule that everyone knew.
After all, he is the initiator and planner of the film festival, so they can understand.
However, after watching the trailer, many people changed their minds. It seems that Zhou Yiyang's film is not just a youth film, and its core is far more complicated than they expected.
"What a pity that we can't watch "Sunny" until the day after tomorrow." Someone took out the booklet and didn't expect that the movie was scheduled to be screened the day after tomorrow.
And the next trailer happens to be the first movie to be shown tomorrow.
A new work from Yang Ping, the winner of the best director award last year.
Although it was a co-production, Zhou Yiyang still gave Yang Ping the green light, allowing "Twins" to be exhibited as an independent film.
In the trailer, the first thing that appears is a large villa bathed in sunshine.
Generally speaking, horror movies are not set in places like this.
A young man approached the iron fence and was greeted by a gentle maid.
It turned out that this man was the new tutor in this family.
Su Yin appeared.
The barrage suddenly increased at this time:
"Come and see our heroine Xiao Xiao Su!"
"I heard it's a horror movie. Did our little Su get scared when he was filming it?"
"Our little Su must be a heroine who can tear a female ghost apart with her bare hands, why would she be afraid!"
Tang Yue looked at the comments and couldn't help but shake her head. Knowing the plot, she just wanted to say that the audience was still blinded by appearances.
However, sharp-eyed viewers noticed that the clothes Su Yin wore during the day were exactly the same as those in the current trailer.
Her every move, every frown and smile revealed her identity: a well-educated young lady.
It was dark, and the tutor was sitting alone at the table, playing with her cell phone out of boredom.
Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
The person outside the door was Su Yin, but she didn't look like her.
Although it was the same person, Su Yin used her expression to act like two different people, which was quite amazing.
At the end of the trailer, a cleaner walks to the front of the villa.
She expertly uncovered the trash can, screamed, and fainted.
In the trash can, there was half a palm.
After watching the trailer, many people at the scene had complicated expressions.
No matter what, whether it is the music or the color tone, it can be seen that Yang Ping put a lot of effort into it.
But from the information revealed in the trailer, isn't this just an ordinary horror movie? I really don't know what it has to do with art films.
Even netizens couldn’t help but sigh:
"To be honest, it's quite clever to broadcast this movie online. I feel like Chinese horror movies still can't escape the bad movie rule."
"But I'm still willing to watch online streaming. Moonlight's VIP program is really good, and the movies are free. Unlike some of the other ones next door, you have to pay separately."
"Horror movie fans are really looking forward to this. After all, we don't expect a plot when watching horror movies. Just having a beautiful woman is enough! And this beautiful woman might even be a bad ghost, which would be even more interesting!"
The remaining trailers are almost all from new directors. From their trailers, I can't tell anything substantial, so I guess I'll have to wait and see the film.
However, the subject matter is indeed much broader than previous literary and artistic films. Many audiences who originally came for the stars have also been interested in watching several movies.
If the word of mouth is good, people will still be willing to go to the cinema to support it.
After the opening ceremony, it became a hot topic on Weibo.
However, Zhou Yiyang had already been called away by several big directors to have dinner, and Ning Mang was naturally taken along by Zhou Yiyang.
"The person I recommended is pretty good, isn't he?" Ning Mang said proudly, "Today's popularity is greater than our total for the past four years."
Zhang Yingyuan naturally sided with Zhou Yiyang: "It's a new era now, and film festivals have to keep up with the trends. Xiao Zhou has done a great job. Even if it's an art film, it's ultimately for the audience."
Chang Tiesheng also agreed: "The only flaw is that your short film was too successful. My wife just told me that some of her close friends saw the short film and sent her a WeChat message asking her to pay attention to me. Alas, my screen debut was as a villain."
"Hahaha," Lu Mian said smugly, "Don't be so naive. It's because you're so handsome! I want to act like this, but Xiao Zhou doesn't think I'm suitable."
At this time, Zhou Yiyang only needed to pretend to be well-behaved and nod from time to time. The seniors all felt that he was neither arrogant nor impatient, and had a better impression of him.
"Your new movie," Lu Mian said, lighting a cigarette like a big shot. "Have you registered for the three major awards? I'll be the chairman of the Golden Rooster Awards next year."
Zhou Yiyang understood: "I've already reported it. I think the quality is acceptable."
Whether he wins the award still depends on his opponents, but the nomination should be a sure thing.
