379. The Grandmaster Premiere (Part 1)
"A street interview with Yi Entertainment News, how do you want to spend this Christmas?"
Standing on the street, a beautiful reporter with a pleasant appearance held a microphone and a sweet smile and introduced. As she finished speaking, she also grabbed a man with glasses passing by and asked the question she had just now...
"Sir, do you have any plans for Christmas this year?"
Maybe he was suddenly interviewed by a beauty, so the man with glasses blushed a little, but after hearing the question, he immediately replied: "If you have a holiday, I want to be with your girlfriend."
"Is there any specific plan? For example, eating or having fun?" the beautiful reporter continued to ask.
"Well, I will take my girlfriend to enjoy a delicious dinner. The better we will go to the movie together in the evening." The man in glasses held the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a very organized manner. Obviously, this is something he had planned for a long time.
"Movie? Then have you chosen what you want to watch? Is it a romance movie? Or is it a horror movie that you boys like to watch with their girlfriends the most..." As a reporter for entertainment news, it is naturally impossible to be so serious, so some harmless jokes were made in the question.
Under the ambiguous smile of the beautiful reporter, the man in glasses shyly lowered his head and replied: "It's not a romance film or a horror film, but an action drama film. Do you know "The Grandmaster"? I'm very lucky. I got two tickets to the premiere, just tonight."
Finally, the man in glasses took out two movie tickets from his pocket and showed it to the camera beside him.
"Of course I know "The Grandmaster" is director Su Mang's masterpiece after nearly two years, but is it appropriate for you to take your girlfriend to watch this kind of martial arts action movie?"
"Why is it not suitable? Speaking of which, this is my girlfriend's request. We are both senior members of the Director Su Mang Film Fan Club." The man in glasses answered proudly, as if the identity of this senior member made him feel very honored.
"Thank you for your answer, I wish you a happy and unforgettable Christmas." The beautiful reporter smiled and let go of the man with glasses, then found another pedestrian and asked the same question.
After repeated questions, the reporter asked seven or eight people before he took back the microphone.
"I just interviewed these passers-by, and suddenly I had an interesting question. Many people seem to have chosen theaters on Christmas Day this year, and their purpose was directed by Su Mang "The Grandmaster". Obviously, this movie that will be released in Ming Dynasty is expected by everyone. At this time, I was encouraged by everyone's investigation results and I am very interested in watching this movie. Okay, without saying much, the entertainment news for today's day will end here. See you next time."
Looking at the female reporter on the TV, Ye Sumang smiled and pressed the TV's turn off button, and the screen went black.
"How is this trick? It's good to promote it." Ye Sumang said with a smug smiled at several colleagues beside him.
This program is actually a program jointly created by Ye Sumang and Mou Yi. Of course, the main purpose is to encourage the audience to enter the theater to watch movies.
Of course, street interviews are true, but not only seven or eight people were interviewed, but more than twenty people were interviewed, and the seven or eight people were selected and edited together to make a short film.
Of course, among these 20 or so, what makes Ye Sumang very pleased is that most of them really choose to go to the theater to watch his "The Grandmaster". Although this result is not as exaggerated as in the video, it is also worthy of Ye Sumang's pride.
After all, this proves that at least fifty percent of the audiences who are willing to enter the theater on Christmas Day will choose their own videos.
Although this data may not be accurate, it is at least very encouraging. Several planners who participated in the company were all happy for a while after they found out.
It was soon 1:30 pm at 25, and at this moment, the entrance of the World Cinema was already crowded with people.
As Ye Sumang's status in the entertainment industry becomes higher and higher, his influence and connections are becoming more and more widespread. Even if Ye Sumang does not deliberately manage this, his status will still lead to a lot of connections.
For example, this time, the guests who participated in the premiere of "The Grandmaster" were twice as many as the last time "If? Love", and the weight has increased significantly.
In addition to several artists from his family, stars such as Chen Daoming and Zhang Guoli who participated in the performance were also present.
Even Feng Xiaogang, who had been rumoring to be incompatible with Ye Sumang before, came to the scene. Ye Sumang naturally greeted him with a smile. After all, the grudge had long disappeared with the phone call. At this time, the other party gave face to support him, so Ye Sumang naturally wanted to give this favor.
After all, there are no permanent enemies in this circle, and the enemies are likely to become friends.
Of course, the enthusiastic embrace of the two people also earned enough film from media reporters. At that time, the flash lights were lit up, and the two enemies actually hugged each other with a smile, which really shocked many reporters' attention.
In addition, Chen Kaige brought his wife Chen Hong and many first-line stars, such as Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun, Fan Binbing, Zhang Xueyou, Liu Dehua, etc., all of them were present. Even Liang Chaowei, who had previously withdrawn from the crew, appeared on the red carpet, and his wife Liu Jialing was accompanied by him.
The appearance of the two people was naturally also interviewed by a pair of media, but they kept silent about it and just claimed that they were simply coming to support the show.
In addition to mainland and HK artists, there are also many Ye Sumang's friends on TW. For example, Ang Lee, who had met once, was invited to attend this time, including Cai Kangyong and Xiao S, and all of them arrived. The reporters roughly counted that the guests at the premiere this time had even reached three digits. No wonder some reporters suddenly found that the film they carried was not enough.
This is simply comparable to a large awards ceremony.
The red carpet of the entire premiere took nearly an hour and a half to end. At about 3:00 pm, the entire screening hall was finally filled with audiences.
Ye Sumang was the last one to walk into the hall. When he took his seat, the entire theater was gradually turning off the lights.
"Su Mang, how about you? Have you ever broken the record if you are careful?" Han Shanping, who was sitting next to Ye Sumang, saw Ye Sumang sitting down and asked with a smile.
Ye Sumang just shrugged and did not answer, but his eyes were full of confidence.
As the screen lights up, the story begins soon.
Bang———!Bang———!Bang———!Bang———!
A heavy drumbeat sounded, with a thick and majestic sound. At this moment, a delicate drum was gradually revealed on the screen. There was a figure on the thigh, playing a set of boxing techniques.
With the sound of drums, boxing techniques also change, sometimes straightforward, and sometimes become extremely smooth, with the footwork being windy. At this moment, the audience on the scene was attracted by the personal figures on the screen, especially with this exciting drum sound, it seemed that these ancient boxing techniques were also very excited to them.
"This is the national martial arts, right? I don't know if it has such strong power." A viewer said quietly to his companions. As for what he refers to, it was naturally the video that Ye Sumang leaked that year.
Those who have watched that video will never forget Ye Sumang's earth-shaking punch.
Han Shanping, who was sitting next to Ye Sumang at this time, was also watching it seriously, but he wanted to see how much Ye Sumang had grown in the past two years.
Soon, with the sound of drums, the little figure who used multiple sets of boxing gradually turned into thick ink, and then the thick ink twisted and turned into four big characters - a master of the generation!!!
"Who wrote this word? It's very imposing!" After reading these four words, Han Shanping, who loved calligraphy, couldn't help but praise.
"It was written by my master." Ye Sumang replied proudly. Even Ye Sumang had to give in to the disadvantage of the old man's brushwork. This was beyond the skills. But the master's understanding of decades of martial arts career was naturally full of the style of a master. Even if Ye Sumang had fragments of memory, he could not compare.
"It's great. When you ask for a copy of the words for me one day, you will need these four, a master..." Han Shanping's eyes revealed simple love, and these four words really fit his wishes.
Just as the two of them were talking, the four big words gradually disappeared, and the video finally got to the point.
In the dark night, rainstorms, the entire ground was covered with rain, and the rain in the sky did not mean to stop. As the camera rotated and moved closer, everyone found two groups of people standing in the rain, one of which was wearing a black coat and an exquisite straw felt hat. On the other side were dozens of big men, all of whom were holding weapons.
Obviously, this is a very unfair fight...
In 1936, Foshan, Yuezhou... A line of words appeared on the screen and quickly disappeared. However, this also introduced the time and place of the film. Ye Sumang never thought of wasting more film in this regard. This time, what he wanted was to go straight to the whole.
"Don't tell me how deep your kung fu is, how powerful your master is, and how profound the sect is. For me, there are only two words of kung fu, one horizontally and one vertically, one wrong, one lying down, and one standing is qualified to speak..." For some reason, the camera kept spinning the man in a black coat, but it didn't even look at his face. This made many viewers' hearts look like cat claws, especially in the face of so many enemies, this man still said such confident and domineering words, which wanted all the audience to see how he looked.
With the last words, the camera finally gave the man the front, and it was a close-up look, which kept showing the man's sharp eyes...
When everything was exposed, almost all the female audience members on the scene couldn't help but take a breath. This was really handsome, especially the look with a calm smile but sharp eyes, which was like a sharp sword, penetrated their hearts and made them tremble continuously.
And this man who stood very calm in the rain was nothing else, but Ye Jianqiu played by Ye Sumang!!! (To be continued.
