The so-called movie roadshow refers to a promotional method in which movie theaters are screened in advance, and the main creative personnel of the movie are present to communicate with theater managers, media, and audiences to promote the movie content.
Many fans and moviegoers have gathered at the entrance of the cinema on the fifth floor of the shopping mall. Large themed posters about the movie and human figures of celebrities decorate every corner of the hall. There is an endless stream of people taking pictures. On the side of the hall, some people are watching the movie. The groups and fan groups were organized in an orderly manner and their numbers were counted.
"When you enter the venue later, remember that the lights must not be raised or turned on. Everyone watches the movie quietly and obeys the order. Only when the movie is over and the main creator appears and Sister Liang speaks can we start to support. This time we fans The group has the opportunity to ask questions. No matter who Sister Liang points to, you must not ask the CP in the movie or some melon-eating questions. Even if you hit the CP, you must poke it secretly. Do you understand?"
"Yes, fans of other families have been harassing Sister Liang because of her scandalous constitution. She has been in the dark since her debut until now. An ex-boyfriend who plays the piano has been hyped up over and over again. Even after winning the title of Best Actress, she has not stopped. Everyone must stop inviting evil. Let Sister Liang focus on her career, thank you all."
The two leaders of the fan group were talking about precautions to the warm fans. He Tianran unknowingly blended in and listened carefully.
Without media channels, it would be difficult to get movie tickets for this kind of creative road show. He Tianran has already arrived at the entrance of the cinema. It is definitely not appropriate to turn around and leave now. And if he wants to meet Wen Liang, the big star of this era, it is definitely not appropriate. It would be easy, so when he saw that the two fans group leaders both looked like college students, he couldn't help but get interested.
"Come on, let's get the movie tickets now."
The leader girl took out a list and began to verify the fans' information.
Seeing the fans happily getting their tickets one by one, the boy did not panic. He walked to another movie theater group and looked around unintentionally. Although he pretended to be inattentive, his ears were always alert. Pay attention to the situation on this side.
About ten minutes later, everyone had finished collecting their tickets, and the leader girl shouted around:
"Wei Xing, Wei woke up?"
Finally, after calling the name three times with no answer, the little girl reluctantly put away the list.
He Tianran knew in his mind that the movie was about to start. He waited silently. After everyone entered the venue one after another, he ran behind the leader of the team, pretended to have just found the organization, and said anxiously:
"Hello, are you Wenliang's fan viewing group?"
The little girl looked He Tianran up and down and nodded politely: "Brother, are you also a fan of Sister Liang?"
"Ah, yes, I signed up for this fan viewing. Sorry, I was with the wrong group just now and went to the media. I mean my name was not there when I received the tickets. My name is Wei Xing. Please check, you should have it here, by the way, the phone number I left is 185..."
Seeing that this handsome young man was embarrassed and reported his phone number without hesitation, she believed him for a moment and had no intention of checking. Besides, he had already started to enter the venue, and this name was also hers before. After a few times, it left an impression in my mind.
Who is He Tianran? Before leaving home, he was a veteran in major ACG circles. What limited editions, comic exhibitions, and game festivals had he not been to? As far as the rice circle and the two-dimensional circle are highly compatible, the boy is probably more familiar with this trick of fishing in troubled waters than the immature team leader in front of him.
After a flawless performance, He Tianran managed to get a movie ticket without any hindrance. He followed the fans into the venue. A giant screen hall that could accommodate nearly 300 people was filled to capacity. The fan group got The position is slightly towards the front, and the best position in the middle is naturally reserved for the media and film critics.
He Tianran was excited and nervous. He heard from the leading girl that after the movie, several starring stars would stay for an hour to sign autographs, and their fans would definitely participate...
"Hi, long time no see!"
"Hahaha, surprise!"
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not the He Tianran you know. In fact, I'm his younger brother."
"..."
He Tianran thought over and over in his mind the first words he would say when he met Wen Liang in this world. Just thinking about this situation made his mind a mess and his hands and feet became sweaty.
He actually knew that no matter how much he considered it now, when it came to face to face, he would definitely not be able to say a word.
How long has it been since this feeling of clumsiness, clumsy tongue, and difficulty speaking have appeared to you?
The lights in the screening room gradually dimmed, and the words "Floating City" slowly appeared on the screen. As the movie officially started, He Tianran's expression gradually became serious.
This is a love suspense film, a remake of Oriol Paul's "The Mirage". The film tells the story of a young mother played by Wen Liang who has a cross-time connection with a boy from 25 years ago after moving into a new home, but she saves the boy. But she fell into the pain of her timeline being changed and her memory erased.
There are two world lines in the film, one is a very happy time and space with children, and the other is a time and space without children. The ending is open-ended. The director deliberately did this to arouse people's imagination, but this kind of multi-line narrative is inherently easy. Smashing is not a subject that domestic directors can play around with. Although the performances of the actors in the film are very good, and there are original gems in the forefront, this director has too many secrets, causing the entire logical chain to completely collapse in the end.
Of course, this is just what He Tianran said after watching it. If it were him who took the photo, he might not be able to do it. But at this juncture, letting him see something with such a subject would inevitably make him feel more "immersive".
As the theater lights came back on, the main creative staff took the stage one by one following the host's words, and the audience burst into applause and cheers.
In He Tianran's black and white vision, the woman slowly walked onto the stage as if she was being chased by a beam of light. Today she was wearing a red short-sleeved jacket, a white dress underneath, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes. Wearing riding boots, her hair is tied back casually, and the hair on both sides of her forehead has been styled, making her look elegant and romantic.
It's her, she can't be wrong.
When the woman appeared, He Tianran made a firm conclusion at a glance, and the strong feeling that followed was -
He wanted to escape.
Among the two feelings between He Tianran, Cao Aiqing gave him the gentleness like a spring breeze, the heartbeat that made him shyly raise his eyes after bowing his head, the secret love for each other, the pursuit of each other, and the beauty of youth that finally achieved what he wanted. , if nothing else happens, this should be the best look in love.
And for this warmth...
The boy just wants to escape now. Of course he wants to see this woman who is unforgettable to him, but he only needs to take a look from a distance.
This is the truest thought in He Tianran's heart, and it is also the only thing that is more warm and cool than Ai Qing in the boy's heart.
Run away, leave now, leave now!
At this time, He Tianran's body was trembling slightly. The fans on the side were even more excited than him when they saw their idol, so no one noticed his condition for the time being.
He was about to stand up and leave quietly when the leader girl beside him suddenly gave him a light sign with Wen Liang's name written on it and said excitedly:
"Come and hold it up, our jelly dumplings must not lose our momentum!"
This sudden sentence suddenly seemed to give He Tianran a reason to stay. He held the light sign blankly and froze in his seat, motionless.
On the stage, the young director explained his creative concept, indicating that his creative inspiration was inspired by his own experiences as a boy. He also praised the actors' performances, especially Wen Liang. The final ending was in another timeline. The explosive scene when he meets his lover is vividly performed, which is exactly the same as the picture he painted in his mind when he created it.
"When I saw it, I was impressed by Liang's acting skills in the movie. I wonder how our sister Liang understood it when we were filming this scene?"
Ever since Da Wenliang came on stage, she has always kept a reasonable distance from the actors and directors, with a faint smile on her face. When the host asked the topic, she smiled and said:
"Thanks to Director Wang's guidance, he told me a lot about his understanding of this scene on the scene, so I can see this scene now. In fact, when I first understood this scene, my emotions were not that strong. The lines Very few."
"Oh? Why?"
She pondered for a moment and said: "Well... that's it... if I really experienced something like that in the movie, when I meet my lover again... I would probably... haha, I won't say so many words, so I said Ah, Director Wang’s adaptation of the script this time is really successful, don’t you think?”
She pointed the microphone at the audience. The fans in the audience enthusiastically cooperated and shouted "yes". The surrounding scene was full of joy, but the silent He Tianran in the crowd seemed so out of place.
He felt that the worst thing about this play was the ending.
"It seems that Sister Liang prefers the feeling of silence at this time."
"No, I'm just an actor without any creative talent."
The host and Wen Liang teased each other, causing a burst of laughter in the audience.
The young director was praised by her, with a happy face. The host continued to advance the process. After the main creators took turns telling the creative process and behind-the-scenes fun, the session finally came to the moment of questioning and interaction.
This kind of interaction is generally arranged by the organizer. Professional questions are usually handed over to film critics or the media, and the answers are usually directed by directors or screenwriters, unless an actor is named to answer the question at the beginning. The problem at this time often has nothing to do with the movie, what stands out is a reality.
"Wen Liang, we were photographed having dinner with Director Wang at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel two days ago. You appreciate Director Wang's talent so much. Do you have a good relationship in private?"
"It's just a crew gathering. Everyone was there at that dinner."
Wenliang automatically blocked the personal question. No matter how you answer this kind of thing, it will be wrong.
"Next month the piano prince Zhang Zhifan will hold a solo concert in this city. Will you join the concert?"
"Who is Zhang Zhifan?" She kept smiling.
"…your ex-boyfriend."
"How come I don't know about my ex-boyfriend?"
Not only the fans in the audience, but also some media were laughed out loud. They all knew that in the early years, Wen Liang still avoided this issue. However, as her reputation in the entertainment industry gradually grew, especially After winning the title of Best Actress, her attitude became tougher. Maybe she was persecuted by public opinion in the early years. Now that she has the strength, she is no longer afraid.
"How did you come up with the idea of taking on this script from Director Wang?"
After finally waiting for a slightly normal question, the actress, who had been answering fluently, was surprisingly silent for a moment.
"It was...recommended by a friend. He said he wanted to see me play this kind of role." She said something like a ghost.
The entertainment reporters in the audience had a keen sense of smell. They quickly noticed the strange emotion in this answer and acted upon it.
"Is this 'friend' an insider?"
"Does he read all the scripts you receive now?"
"Are you just in a purely 'friend' relationship?"
At this time, the host promptly interrupted the media’s questions and said:
"Okay, friends from the media, please don't post any questions that have nothing to do with the movie. Next is the fan welfare time. If our movie viewing groups and fan groups have anything to say or questions to our creative staff, you are welcome to do so. Speak, and if your speech is recognized, you may even have the opportunity to take photos and interact with the creators on stage.”
Wen Liang's mood on the stage was a bit low. Although he still maintained a business-like smile on his face, his eyes showed a little tiredness.
She didn't like the film, very much.
And accepting the invitation for this film was purely because of what that person said to me——
"This book is really messed up. The ending has no logic at all, so the creativity is pretty good. You can give it a try. Don't you always want to go back to the past and make up for something? Although I don't care anymore, I really like it. I’m curious how you would act, hahahaha, just kidding, it’s just a bad movie, don’t take it seriously.”
Will he look at that person?
Probably not, he has never liked happy endings.
The mantra he often talks about is that this is not realistic.
Wen Liang didn't like the movie, not because she hated the content. As she said, she didn't know what they would say if this happened again, but she believed from the bottom of her heart that she would definitely Do it better.
However, movies are not life after all...
The delicate and beautiful woman sighed secretly, and the host urged her. It was her turn to ask questions.
Wen Liang looked at her fan group. Those shining lights made her heart warm. She originally wanted to order the little girl who led the group, because she could see this every time she returned to the Hong Kong Airport or at local events. The figure of the little girl is a very cute person.
Just as his eyes moved unintentionally, Wen Liang was suddenly stunned.
In a daze, she seemed to see the boy who had been teased by her. He was still looking at her awkwardly, looking restless, with a cute clumsiness in his expression, as if he was still waiting for her to take the initiative to follow him. Say hello, go make up his mind for him, wait for yourself... to tease him.
Is it an illusion?
Or do they just look alike?
Wen Liang, who didn't know whether he was in a play or in a dream, pointed at the young man and murmured:
"That...boy in the third row..."
He Tianran still couldn't figure out how Wen Liang could see herself in the crowd at a glance since Wen Liang didn't have the ability to distinguish colors only by seeing the other person.
He stood up tremblingly, and someone next to him handed him the microphone, but the boy still hesitated for a long time, scratching his head and ears, which made people anxious.
This is a great opportunity! What is he doing!
Two people, one on the stage and one off the stage, looked at each other from a distance. After a moment, the boy looked away unnaturally.
Seeing this move, Wen Liang suddenly smiled, a smile that was extremely bright, frank and natural.
The two of them, in each other's eyes,
One is the color in the black and white world.
One, the only one in the crowd.
