There is no difference from a normal premiere, and the process is basically the same.
The host will introduce, watch the video, the creative team will appear, and then there will be some questions and answers. If there is enough time, there will be some interactive sessions, but that's basically it.
As for those who can come in and participate, except for a relatively small number of lucky people, most of the candidates who watch the film at the same time are journalists, magazine editors, and industry insiders who are professional film critics. Among these people, except for the former, the latter are basically rooted and dependent on movies, and they are interdependent, either positive or negative.
Film supervisors need film critics to write a wonderful film review to promote their own works, but they are worried that the other party's influence will have an adverse effect on themselves and attract a lot of criticism. Therefore, in order to avoid the bad influence of the latter, it is normal for a senior supervisor to know and make friends with several magazine editors or high-level film critics in the industry.
In this way, as long as your work is not so rotten that people can't even wash it, but there is still some room for redemption, then it won't be a problem.
If the plot is boring, you can say the acting is excellent. If the acting is poor, you can say the pictures are beautiful. If the pictures are a piece of shit, then you can say that the director himself is not making a commercial film, but an artistic one. He will focus on describing the unusual aspects of the filming. Show off your skills and show off your shooting skills here——
Of course, there are those who say good things and those who say bad things. Unless you are rich enough to silence everyone, this situation cannot be avoided.
Both editors and film critics have their own positions. There are no completely impartial film critics in the world. Some are only relatively impartial, or in other words, film critics who make you feel relatively impartial.
Colleagues are all sworn enemies. Some people praise and others criticize them, but it doesn't matter if they only criticize or praise. The former will only make people think that you are a terrible bad movie, while the latter is too hypocritical. If the quality of the movie itself is not up to standard, I am afraid that it will not even be able to earn back the cost of publicity and distribution, which is a real loss——
It is precisely because of this that the people invited to the premiere also included some media people who had given Keishi Otomo a lot of depression not long ago, and Hideo Ohno was also one of them.
However, to be honest, the relationship between the magazine where Hideo Ohno works and the film supervisor Keishi Otomo is not that bad, at least it is far from the relationship between Bunchun and a cheap senior... For this supervisor "Vulture" was also the first movie he made, and he even gave some relatively wonderful reviews.
It is precisely because of this that although not long ago, for this "Rurouni Kenshin", it was said that the expected lead actor was replaced, Sato Takeru, who also starred in the previous work "Ryumaden", was replaced by Takeru Sato. Another young man who appeared out of nowhere; the leading actor has not appeared even once in promotional activities, and a series of rather surprising operations. Hideo Ohno pointed out and ridiculed them all unceremoniously. , but can still be invited to attend the premiere of the movie. After all, if the relationship is really that bad, I'm afraid Otomo Keishi won't even let him in——
However, Hideo Ohno, who is sitting in the audience at this moment, also knows very well that in addition to considerations in this aspect, the bigger factor is of course the other party's confidence in his own level and this "Rurouni Kenshin" .
Supervisor Otomo, very confident...
Leaning back on the seat, Ohno Hideo's mind did not stop working for a moment. It can be seen that this supervisor Otomo is very confident about his "Rurouni Kenshin". But that's right, after all, it is the first game after changing jobs, and it is of great significance. Even if you don't consider anything else, just think about yourself, it is impossible to be any worse -
But the question is, where does this confidence come from?
Although comic book movies have a basis in the original work, and the plot does not need to be elaborately designed to achieve a satisfactory level, but once the production level is not up to standard, this aspect will also become a fatal shortcoming. Therefore, the actors' acting skills must keep up, at least not to make people skip the scene, not to mention the action design. Since it is a martial arts action movie, it can be said that the audience is almost here for it. Once something goes wrong somewhere, There will definitely be a lot of scolding——
Could it be because of that young man?
Thinking of this, Ohno Hideo couldn't help but laugh. It was impossible. He had been blasting this issue a few days ago. If this was really the case, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?
Being young is not a problem, nor is having any acting experience before, but being young and having never acted before is a big problem.
It’s not just about seniority in the entertainment industry. Acting skills, in addition to talent, require more time and resources to cultivate. Even if you are a genius, as long as your talent is not so high that it is breathtaking and unmatched, you will definitely need a series of resources for cultivation. Moreover, coupled with your own experience and experience, you can slowly promote it and eventually thrive.
According to generally more famous agencies, one or two characters are first selected to play roles that are more in line with one's temperament, personality and other factors, and one's acting skills are slowly discovered. After a certain level of maturity, you can then switch to a character that is in contrast to yourself, and then move to a more challenging and complex character. This will happen step by step, and the resources and time spent in this process are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Besides, he’s still the leading actor——
Hideo Ohno couldn't help but shake his head. He had also seen the trailer of "Rurouni Kenshin". Since it was not very long, he could only vaguely see some details. For example, there is definitely no need to worry about the action design of this film. Even in the pitiful length of the trailer, you can still see the eye-catching parts.
Secondly, there is no need to worry about acting skills. Let’s not talk about veteran actors. Younger actresses such as Aoi Yu and Takei Saki, at least the temperament in the trailer is quite consistent. As for a certain leading actor, because the trailer is too short and the fragmentary footage really doesn't show any acting skills, at most his overall temperament is quite passable and won't make people laugh. But he is a bit taller. You know, this is a manga movie after all, and the original Kenshin Himura is only 158 centimeters. How could he be more than a full head taller than Kaoru Kamiya next to him——
So, there must be other reasons. I heard that two veteran actors, Kagawa Teruyuki and Eguchi Yosuke, also participated in this movie. Although they are only supporting roles, there may be some surprises hidden in it that I don’t know about. Not sure.
Hideo Ohno thought so.
