Chapter 53 "Forked Road"

After "Forked Road" was broadcast, He Xiuyi devoted himself to the promotion of "Wanli Longsha".Prior to this, the later stage of "Wanli Longsha" was completed, and the public screening license was successfully obtained.

Star Media has a lot of money and wealth, and the publicity can be described as overwhelming, including TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, and outdoors. It is guaranteed that the name "Wanli Longsha" will only be left in people's minds when they enter the theater.

Star Media also posted 10 posters in colleges and universities across the country, 1000 of which bear the signatures of Zuo Ran and He Xiuyi.At present, the average age of Chinese moviegoers is in their early 20s, and the "college student" group is the most important market.College students have money and leisure, advanced consumption concepts, and social needs, so they naturally become the main force.

He Xiuyi struggled to sign 1000 papers.According to the three words "He Xiuyi" taught by Zuo Ran, he signed each copy seriously.In addition, He Xiuyi made too many gestures, and it took three hours to sign 500 copies.Zuo Ran sighed, and began to help He Xiuyi write the signature for the poster.He Xiuyi said no, but Zuo Ran insisted on taking the place.However, after posting, all 1000 signed posters were stolen in an instant.

Before the official premiere, Star Media selected 20 colleges and universities to screen, and invited many well-known media and film critics to participate, so as to facilitate the other parties to write in advance and create momentum for publicity after the premiere.Hollywood spot screenings are mainly for formulating distribution strategies, such as examining which subgroups are the target audience, and focusing on them.It is different in China. Movies are mainly for advertising and marketing.

After watching the movie, many media and film critics commented after watching the movie: "This film is the best among similar domestic themes in recent years. The plot is cleverly set, the characters are set reasonably, the atmosphere is well created, and there are also themes to discuss." The audience also gave five-star praise, and Xingkong took advantage of this to send a wave of manuscripts.

……

The official premiere of "Wanli Longsha" will be on Saturday, December 12, at a convention and exhibition center in Shanghai. Zuo Ran brought He Xiuyi and Su Yang to attend.

Most movies on New Year's Day focus on comedy elements, but "Wanli Longsha" runs in the opposite direction, entering the New Year's Eve with a tragic style.Both Zuo Ran and Xingkong believe that no matter what year, month and day, audiences have various needs-there is no such thing as "schedule" in Hollywood. Therefore, "Wanli Longsha", which can satisfy the taste of watching movies besides comedy, may be more suitable Deus Ex.

Before the premiere, the crew must first sign on the signature board in the outfield and take pictures of people, and then they can move to the infield to wait for the event to officially start.

He Xiuyi wrote "He Xiuyi" on the signature board, and Zuo Ran also wrote "Zuo Ran". The line extended to the bottom of "He Xiuyi", as if it was holding the three characters "He Xiuyi" very gently.He Xiuyi recalled that at the premiere of "The Family" in Hong Kong, Zuo Ran, who had always been icy, "made a little joke" - he actually imitated "Shen Zhiyan" in conjunction with the film, and on the left and right sides of He Xiuyi's vertically written signature, Separate "Zuo" and "Ran" horizontally to write, with a character "Yi" in between, and it becomes "Zuo Yiran"!In the eyes of the audience, this is naturally a stalk that fits the film, but it made CP fans really high for a while.

Standing in front of the signature board and taking pictures for reporters, He Xiuyi felt that he was really... popular.

Not only were many reporters jumping up and down shouting: "Zuo Ran! Left! Zuo Ran! Right!" There were also many voices shouting and authentically shouting: "He Xiuyi! Look this way!"

It felt...unbelievable, like a dream.Although He Xiuyi doesn't really care about "redness", but after all, he is happy to be liked.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the premiere officially began.

After a promotional video, the main creators came on stage.

The host is not pretty, but he has a lot of aura: "Good evening, good evening. Let me introduce you. This... must be known to the audience. He is a screenwriter, producer, director, and actor. Zuo Ran The one next to him is He Xiuyi, "Wanli Longsha" is the second movie he starred in. The last one is Su Yang who plays the villain in the film."

The three greeted each other.

The host handed the microphone to Zuo Ran: "Could you please introduce "Wanli Longsha"?"

Zuo Ran nodded: "It's about 'brothers'. Two sworn brothers took the wrong path, one good and one evil. However, "Wanli Longsha" did not focus on contradictions and conflicts, but on the positive side. The opposite 'bond'. In the end, it was the bond between two people—both Qi Jianfei and Yin Changdong, and Yin Changdong and Qi Jianfei, which made them avoid the tragic ending of total annihilation. They both made a key choice. Believe Everyone who has seen the impact will understand what I am talking about.”

The host asked again: "Can I ask why you thought of telling this story?"

Zuo Ran's voice is still low and sexy: "Because I want to try to explain a kind of... a feeling that transcends life and death. It is not appropriate to say 'brotherhood'. Qi Jianfei and Yin Changdong grew up together in an orphanage and spent their youth and youth together. Time, don’t want to be born on the same day in the same year and the same month, but to die on the same day in the same year, one is because the other party chooses to become a policeman, one is because the other party chooses to join the gangster, and finally, it is also because of the other party, one 'failed' the police chief, one betrayed the gangster boss, they They are the only light and the only darkness in each other's hearts. In fact, it is hard to say whether this kind of relationship is family affection, friendship, love, or anything else. In short, it is a kind of relationship that transcends life and death and surpasses everything."

"So that's how it is—" the host said again: "It's the first time I wrote, directed and acted myself, what special feelings do you have?"

"Well..." Zuo Ran made a long voice, and said slowly: "This is the most beautiful experience in my life so far. I have the experience and feeling in my dream, which is similar to the dream, but more beautiful than the dream. Really, all in all, very happy."

"Wow—then I want to congratulate you—"

"Thank you."

The fourth question asked by the host of the ceremony was: "During the filming, were there any difficulties?"

Zuo Ran replied: "Maybe it's still 'how to get along with the actors as a director.'"

Finally, the host asked: "Can you tell me about the most impressive thing?"

"The crane overturned. After I was hospitalized, the crew showed a lot of concern and worry. I was very moved and will always remember it in my heart."

He Xiuyi who was next to him couldn't help but blush when he heard this.Naturally, he knew very well that the "concern and worry" Zuo Ran mentioned was referring to himself.In that ward, he confronted his own feelings for the first time.

After interviewing Zuo Ran, the host turned to He Xiuyi: "For Zuo Ran's first directing, how do you feel as an actor? Will it be inconvenient because the other party is a 'newcomer'? Let me tell you what I want."

"Well," He Xiuyi said, "I... and Director Zuo have a very tacit understanding. There is a kind of... chemical reaction. It is very comfortable to cooperate with him. In my opinion, the tacit understanding is the most important factor... All skills can be learned."

"So, is there any difference in style and method between Zuo Ran's directing and those professional directors in the past?"

"This...this...is very different." He Xiuyi's voice was actually unnatural, his eyes were empty and wandering, and he didn't dare to look at anyone, "Maybe it's because I'm an artist in...the studio, Director Zuo...knows me very well The strengths and weaknesses of the script will make the script and the script fit my characteristics. In the past, the script could not be modified basically, and I had to do my best to cater to them."

"Why did you agree to participate in "Wanli Longsha"?"

He Xiuyi made up his mind: "One is because the drama feels good, and the performance of "Family" is still full of emotions; the other is because I am grateful to Director Zuo for speaking up when I was slandered by others." Alright, so be it.

"so--"

Then, the host asked Su Yang two more questions, and the ceremony entered the free questioning session.Most of the questions are very common, such as "Do you have expectations for the movie's box office?" However, there are also unconstrained "If you are invited to direct the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, will you agree?" and the like.

When it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, a staff member showed his head and made a gesture. The host understood that it meant "it's almost time", and said: "Ah, time flies so fast, there is only a little bit left. The two leading actors Finally, what do you want to say to the audience?"

"Yeah." Zuo Ran held the microphone with his slender fingers, "I hope everyone can see from the video... the 'emotion beyond life and death' I just mentioned."

"..." He Xiuyi's voice became tense: "One... the same. Director Zuo's hope is also my hope... nothing else." Since Zuo Ran "confessed in public", he didn't want to hide it. with.But his IQ and EQ were just like that, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he chose to follow Zuo Ran.After finishing speaking, He Xiuyi heard Zuo Ran chuckle as expected.

The host said: "Okay, then, after a 10-minute break, we will officially screen the film "Wanli Longsha"."

……

During the break, He Xiuyi teased Zuo Ran and said in a low voice, "Hey...Your circle climbed the wall with big hands and walked away, do you know?"

"Ok?"

"I sent it to you. What about the 'Da Da' called 'Xu Zuo Yi Dai', he hasn't given out food recently." "Xu Zuo Yi Dai", the ID is taken from an idiom, and it is the biggest among Zuo He CP fans The big hand is called "big touch".In fact, there is not much food produced, one Q picture per month, two or three small jokes, but both drawing and writing, Q picture drawing skills are excellent, and the writing style of the jokes is also good.The most important thing is that he has a big brain, lots of cute characters, and special ability to flirt. In his or her writing, Zuo He and Zuo He have various dates and various love conversations, which directly teach CP to be red-faced and hold their hearts to the end.He Xiuyi quite likes to watch it - it suits his taste very much.

"Oh," Zuo Ran said coldly, "I didn't climb the wall."

"Huh? You know what?"

"He's busy."

"Busy? What are you busy with?"

Zuo Ran said, "Busy for the premiere."

He Xiuyi thought for a while, and suddenly felt very terrified: "Hey...could it be..."

Zuo Ran calmly asked, "What?"

"fine……"

At this time, the opening title of "Wanli Longsha" was played on the big screen.

The scene gradually quieted down, and He Xiuyi also concentrated on watching the video.

He Xiuyi found that everything looked different on the big screen.Zuo Ran's face... was magnified countless times, it was not quite the same as on the monitor, but it looked more delicate.

Zuo Ran stretched out his right hand, and lifted He Xiuyi's finger under the seat.But He Xiuyi flipped his five fingers together and intertwined with the people beside him.

Just like this, the two of them interlocked their fingers very secretly, with a little shame, watching "Wanli Longsha" together - Zuo Ran's first movie made by He Xiuyi.

There is a huge difference between this police and gangster movie on the big screen and on the monitor.Therefore, even though it was an extremely familiar plot, He Xiuyi felt that the picture reflected in his eyes was very shocking.Qi Jianfei, Yin Changdong, Zhang Feng, and even Dragon Gu and Zhang Ju, all the characters burst out with various emotions, either profound or crazy, which seemed to overwhelm the audience.

And when it came to the "last shot", when Yin Changdong died tragically in Qi Jianfei's arms, He Xiuyi's fingers couldn't help trembling slightly.

Under the background of editing, special effects, and dubbing, Yin Changdong's death was much more tragic.

Zuo Ran——

In the huge auditorium, someone began to sob.Gradually, the sobbing sound became louder and louder, and finally it was one after another.He Xiuyi felt that behind him, many girls were crying.In this atmosphere, He Xiuyi is also very uncomfortable - in the film, Yin Changdong dies, and Qi Jianfei will live alone all his life...Put yourself in that position, and even your soul trembles.

I really really...can't lose Zuo Ran.

Yes, he admitted.Zuo Ran's love is already very important to him.
