Chapter 812 The big money master's friend
The next day, the crew prepared early and went to the largest theater in Taipei.
Today is the meeting of the Baodao promotional press conference of director Zhou's movie. At this moment, the entire theater is full of reporters and movie fans.
Only at this time can Liu Chen see how much influence Director Zhou is.
After entering the theater, Liu Chen realized that this time was not just a press conference, but also a small-scale trial conference.
The so-called preview means that before the movie is truly released, some professionals in the circle, including some famous film critics, will be organized to watch a small-scale screening.
This kind of screening is not only to predict the results of the film in advance, but also to make these cunningly vocal critics pick on them.
Any blockbuster film will have such a preview.
Moreover, the more prominent the name of the film director, the bigger the scene of this preview.
There is a red carpet at the entrance of the theater, and from time to time, big-name stars, directors, and well-known figures in the film industry pass by.
Those celebrities would stop in front of the red carpet for a short while and give some time to take photos for the reporters surrounding the theater.
Just like this, dozens of minutes passed by countless stars.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the screening will be held on time.
Liu Chen and the crew were sitting in the front row of the theater.
Moreover, he sat on Director Zhou's left hand and chatted with Director Zhou from time to time.
In order to prevent the content of the film from being exposed in advance, only those film circles and critics can come in the theater, while those reporters are stopped outside the theater.
These are already routine.
So Director Zhou was also relatively relaxed when talking to Liu Chen, and from time to time he pointed to the camera in the movie and communicated with Liu Chen.
The preview will not release all the content, and even if Director Zhou wants to release it back, he has no video to play.
The final ten percent of the shots that are still missing from the production of special effects will probably be completed by the end of the month.
According to information revealed by Director Zhou and Liu Chen, he plans to set the premiere of the film at the beginning of next month, that is, early December 2004!
The movie started when Director Zhou was a child until he was beaten seriously injured.
The final few major special effects shots behind are still being produced, but just the eye-catching special effects in front, this video is no worse than those Hollywood blockbusters!
From the applause and laughter in the audience, Liu Chen could also vaguely see the smile on Director Zhou's face.
In fact, Liu Chen feels that he and Director Zhou probably belong to the same type of people, and both want to complete their dreams.
They are all the kind of people who pursue perfection and don’t want to see any imperfection on the way to their dreams!
So this is also the reason why Director Zhou often changes plans temporarily when making movies.
If it were an ordinary director, the effect would be worse, and they might just be perfunctory and try to make do as much as possible.
But Director Zhou is different. If there is something he is not satisfied with in the movie, no matter how difficult it is, he will shoot the unsatisfactory shot again to make the whole film perfect.
Perhaps this is also because of this reason that almost all actors who work with Director Zhou will say that Director Zhou is too strict with others and often changes the film plan, making the actors exhausted after the collaboration.
Liu Chen felt that Director Zhou did nothing wrong in this matter, he just wanted to make the movie perfect, but the way he did it was inappropriate.
Because it is not a complete editing version, the movie was screened in an hour.
When the final subtitles of the movie rose, all the audiences who sat there stood up at the same time and gave the warmest applause to Director Zhou and the crew of the film.
Seeing this, everyone agreed that this was a successful movie.
Liu Chen was also a little excited. This was his first film to be produced. Watching those films from scratch to becoming a movie is really a process of enjoyment.
Moreover, based on Liu Chen’s memory of his previous life, the special effects shots in this version of “Kung Fu” he participated in are much more sophisticated than in later life!
The success of a movie cannot be separated from everyone in the crew.
If the director is compared to a computer chip, then everyone in the crew is part of the entire computer and is indispensable.
Only when the entire crew is running and every position strives to do the best can it be possible to make classic works that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Sitting on Director Zhou’s right hand is Baodao’s most famous director, Li An.
Speaking of Li An, the people of China are all familiar with it.
During the millennium, his Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Global Crazy Scroll for nearly 300 million US dollars, becoming the most popular Chinese-language film in the history of Chinese films.
With this film, he himself became the first director in China to win back the Oscar Little Golden Man.
Most importantly, he is not only the first person in China to win the Oscar for Best Director, but he is also the first in Asia!
With many honors, Li An can now be said to be the most famous and authoritative director in China.
After watching the video, Li An lowered her head and whispered: "Director Zhou, your movie is really good!"
"In the past, I gave up on the special effects production of China. You gave us a surprise today. I didn't expect that the special effects production of China has improved to this level. I have to say that the special effects of your film is not inferior to the level of first-class Hollywood blockbusters."
Listening to Li An's words, Director Zhou couldn't help but grin.
Then he pulled Liu Chen and introduced to Li An: "This is the person in charge of the special effects company. Are you interested in letting him do special effects for your video?"
After listening to Director Zhou's introduction, Li An was shocked and hurriedly looked at Liu Chen carefully.
When he found out that Liu Chen was just a young man under the age of twenty, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his eyes.
Liu Chen saw the loss in his eyes and smiled slightly.
He spoke: "Director Li An, I like the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon you filmed. As the first person in China and even Asia to win the Best Oscar, you deserve the admiration of people in our entire film industry."
Liu Chen changed the subject and said, "Director Li remembered it when we were on the phone?
Director Li showed a puzzled expression. His memory was very good, but he could never remember when he was on the phone with this young man.
"yes……"
"Once I called Yukiko Morita and was interpreting your "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". You happened to be next to Yukiko, so we just chatted for a few words."
Director Li remembered it and was surprised that he was so young that he could be familiar with a financial backer like Yukiko Morita.
"Oh, you are Mr. Liu Chen."
In a capitalist society, having money is a big shot. Director Li has been influenced by the United States and naturally understands that in the United States, well-known directors must know a group of financial supporters, otherwise you will make a nonsense movie.
Recently, he was looking for investment everywhere with a notebook, and the situation was very difficult...
