The trailer for "Benjamin Button" on Weibo has directly entered the top ten, and after watching the premonition clip, many netizens were shocked by Qin Sheng's real acting skills.
There is a scene in the trailer where the hero takes the heroine on a boat to watch the sea view in the early morning.
In the picture, thick fog is floating across the ocean and the vast ocean is overwhelmed by the number of ships.
These scenes were all produced by NOVSO special effects, and these few scenes alone cost tens of millions of dollars, so they are naturally lifelike, attracting a wave of praise from neutral netizens.
"Wow, domestic films are finally no longer about cheap special effects. I'm so touched!"
"Qin Sheng is a conscientious director. These special effects are amazing!"
"Speaking of which, Qin Sheng's acting is really good. I didn't feel awkward at all playing an elderly man. I'm inexplicably looking forward to it. Hope it's released soon. I'll definitely go to the cinema to watch it."
"The big screen is about to start."
"I originally thought Qin Sheng was just a director and didn't know shit about acting, but after watching the trailer, I cried. His basic skills are so solid!"
Soon, the overwhelming praise instantly overwhelmed the previous groundless abuse, and as the popularity soared, "Benjamin Button" has successfully squeezed into the top five on the Chinese-language film reservation list, with a strong momentum and no signs of decline.
At the same time, a nonsensical topic about "Benjamin Qin Sheng" on Weibo was also pushed into the top five hot searches.
"Damn it, Qin Sheng is really going for the real thing now."
"Yeah, you can tell he's really been pushed into a corner, otherwise he wouldn't have directed and acted in this show himself."
"Benjie Mingsheng? Hahaha, I laughed so hard that my head almost fell off. Good boy, I'm already feeling bored!"
"By the way, when will it be released? Can anyone give me an exact date?"
"Let me tell you, the movie is still being filmed, so please be patient and wait a little longer."
"But it'd better not be released in July. I have a lot of movies I want to see in July, and the money in my pocket is not reliable."
"I hope not. I see that the production cost of Qin Sheng's film is at least 200 million. If it really goes to the June market and the big guys fight, it might really die miserably."
…
The trailer was quite good, at least online, attracting quite a bit of attention. But Qin Sheng had no time to collect all this excitement. He was very busy, incredibly busy. Not only did he have to manage the crew's operations, he also had to discuss acting skills with Miss Xiao every night. On top of that, he also had to keep up with the theater chain...
With three approaches at the same time, even a superman would not be able to handle it.
In other words, the constant good news gave Qin Sheng great spiritual support, otherwise he would have been a little shaky.
June 4th,
Wei Shaoyan came to the temporary office and reported the list of cooperating theaters to Qin Sheng.
"There are 48 cinema chains nationwide, and we've negotiated with 32 of them. The remaining 16 are probably waiting to see what happens. If the performance is good, they'll schedule a screening. After all, as you know, Korean movies have been doing better and better at the box office these past few months, and almost all of those cinema chains are stocking Korean movies, hoping to make some money..."
"I see. It's using other theaters as test subjects."
Qin Sheng smacked his lips in disapproval. "Forget it, it doesn't matter. Is there anything else?"
"have."
Wei Shaoyan nodded fiercely, his expression indignant, "Do you even know that guy from Yindu Entertainment?"
"The one with the surname Wei?" Qin Sheng said suddenly.
But Wei Shaoyan got excited. "Bah, does he deserve the surname Wei?"
"Um?"
Qin Sheng suddenly became interested, "What happened to him?"
"Oh, you don't know, didn't you ask that guy if he wanted to invest, and he told you he had no money, right? What happened?
He invested in Ning Heng's movie in the blink of an eye. Do you know how much money he invested?"
Oh, so you were waiting for me here.
Qin Sheng sneered, revealing a nonchalant expression, "How much did you invest?"
"Three hundred million, damn it! This bastard must have earned all that money from Nirvana in Fire. You helped him make money, and then he just turned around and invested it in someone else. What a piece of shit!"
Wei Shaoyan angrily raged at the air, spitting everywhere, but Qin Sheng calmly held his hands aside.
"No need to be so angry."
"Fuck!" Wei Shaoyan was stunned. "Anyway, I really despise people like this. You said he wouldn't invest, but he turned around and flirted with your mortal enemy. He's really heartless!"
"Um……"
Qin Sheng nodded, looking thoughtful. "Calm down. Those things are none of our business. Our current goal is to make a good movie."
"Alright." Wei Shaoyan nodded helplessly, not commenting on Qin Sheng's request. He turned around and went out to make arrangements...
In the blink of an eye,
June 28th,
Hengdian Film Studio,
"Unit 1 aims at the side of Xiao Yuqin."
"Unit 2 is pointed at the back."
"The prop team, please spread some fallen leaves on the ground."
"Lighting team, the light is too bright, dim it a little."
On the set, Qin Sheng's voice of command was finally heard after a long absence, and all the employees accepted the orders and debugged the equipment in an orderly manner.
Perhaps it was because of his experience as an actor for more than a month, almost two months, that he was a little unfamiliar with the director's chair, so Qin Sheng simply stood and directed the whole time.
This is the last shot of "Benjamin Button", and everyone's heart is inevitably filled with excitement and anticipation.
And this expectation comes not only from the efforts during this period, but more from external stimulation——
"Benjamin Button" has already taken the top three spots on China's film reservation list. According to statistics, more than 28 million people have expressed their desire to watch it.
So just imagine what would happen if each of these clicks could be converted into real box office revenue!
hiss……
Take off, take off, it’s definitely going to take off!
The first movie, the first film work of the entire crew, is about to be born!
However, even though everyone's emotions were a little excited at the moment, Qin Sheng was like the backbone of the entire crew, standing firm under the torrent, neither sad nor happy.
He waved at Xiao Yuqin,
"Yuqin, come here."
Xiao Yuqin came over obediently in a simple floral dress, pouting her lips.
"Aren't you happy? It's almost over!"
Who's going to tell you this...
Qin Sheng chuckled, looking at Xiao Yuqin's old-looking face, raised his hand to help her pick off the fallen leaves stuck in her hair, and then gently smoothed away the loose hair on her forehead.
"It's okay. This is the last shot. There are no close-ups of expressions, so the action is very important. I explained the situation you need to put yourself in yesterday. Try to shoot it in one take. Got it?"
"Okay, okay, you explained it many times last night, Director Qin!"
Xiao Yuqin respectfully addressed him as Director Qin, and Qin Sheng smiled back in tacit understanding, waving his hand.
"Go ahead."
"Um."
…
Half a minute later,
All equipment was functioning normally, and a steady sound came from the studio.
"Scene 132, Mirror 7, Line 1."
“Action!”
