On the same day, after Song Mingguang received the news, he immediately organized an internal viewing party. At that time, they would conduct an internal evaluation of the film and finally decide how much promotional resources to invest in the film, as well as how to fight for the screening rate from the theater chains!
At 9 a.m. on the 19th, Zhang Fan, Xu Qingqing, Niu Chen, Peach Yang, and Jerry once again arrived at the Nine Cauldron Building. Jerry insisted on coming along. Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, Zhang Fan's heart softened, and he agreed to bring Jerry along.
Ever since Inception had finished filming, this guy had been jobless. He had been holed up in Godly Show doing odd jobs every day. After all, he was not like Hu Changsu and Peng Yan, who had endless film offers. Inception was his first time acting as a lead actor. In other places, he would only be a minor character or a special guest.
"Director, are we really going to meet his mysterious millionaire, Song? It was said that his status in China was equivalent to those big bosses in Hollywood.”Bruno muttered nervously, his forehead covered in sweat.
"How many times have I told you? Song Mingming and I are business partners. You don't have to be so nervous.”Zhang Fan smiled faintly. This guy was really too naggy.
"Oh, my director, I respect you like God. Can you introduce me to the big boss later? Maybe I can find a good job with him." Jerry was desperately trying to promote himself. His logic was very clear, and he wanted to use this opportunity to get promoted. Zhang Fan felt a headache coming on as he nodded his head, thinking that this international friend of his was really so direct.
When they walked into the lobby of the Nine Cauldron Building, Song Mingwu and the higher-ups were already waiting there. Then, he led everyone directly to the screening room.
The company's management all smiled and greeted Zhang Fan as if he was some important person.
This kind of attitude would undoubtedly make others feel flattered, while Zhang Fan felt wary. He was even considering whether or not he should find another partner to work with.
He was handsome and talented. What if Song Gongming took a fancy to him?
Who would recognize a younger brother on their first meeting…Uh.
Soon, everyone sat down in their respective seats. The lights in the screening room dimmed and the film began to play.
……
"Director Li, the box office sales of 'Dangerous Creatures' this month have plummeted. It's less than 20 million today. It looks like it'll be difficult to recoup the losses. If he wanted to make a profit this year, he could only watch Conquer the Stars.”
"There aren't any good scripts this year. I've read part of the script for Inception, but I don't know how it will turn out.”
"With an investment of 150 million yuan and so many A-listers joining the small screen, the box office should be around 300 to 400 million yuan." someone said in a low voice, his expression disapproving.
" Such a good script. If it were a famous director…"
The conversation became even softer.
As a Taiji master, Zhang Fan could hear all of these whispers clearly. However, he only smiled slightly and did not care.
" Brother, I'm looking forward to it," Song Mingguang said with a smile. It was obvious that he was comforting Zhang Fan.
"Yes, thank you, Brother Song. It's starting.”
Zhang Fan smiled and thanked him. He then leaned back in his chair and seriously watched the big screen.
Images began to appear on the screen. As the movie was still in the process of being screened, there wasn't a dragon logo at the beginning of the movie. There was only the opening logo animation of Shenxiu Pictures, as well as the words " Director Zhang Fan's Production."
At the same time, there was a low and passionate background music.
Without any prelude, the movie started.
"A lucid dream is a very wonderful dream experience. The dreamer can clearly recognize that they are dreaming and can further control the content of the dream. This kind of dream is often unlimited, such as flying, creating…"
Accompanied by a deep voice, a professor's figure appeared on the screen. The screen was soft and bright, and the background was a lecture hall. Students of various skin colors sat in the seats.
Following the professor's explanation, the passionate background music on the screen had completely died down. The sound of the waves hitting the shore began to sound, followed by the image of a person lying on the beach.
In the screening room, everyone looked at the screen, and their expressions slowly became solemn. From time to time, they would whisper to the people beside them.
"A straightforward narrative method, directly using the overlapping montage to unfold.”
"The scene looks very comfortable, and the suspense is very successful.”
"Yeah, it feels pretty good. It feels like Hollywood.”
"The rhythm is good. It's a little like a blockbuster. I wonder what will happen after that?”
"Why did you start with English?"
……
Most people agreed with this opening.
In fact, whether it was a professional film critic or an ordinary audience, when they watched a movie, the scene would appear. What big star would be acting? You would subconsciously think of it as a blockbuster or a lousy movie.
It was a very mysterious feeling, but it was at least 90% correct.
At this moment, the moment the first half minute of Inception was shown, the smell of a blockbuster filled the entire screening room.
The plot slowly progressed. The male protagonist was discovered by the guards and brought into a Japanese castle. He met the old Saitou. The words in the clouds deepened the suspense.
Hu Changsu and Yu Wei's exciting scene made everyone's eyes light up.
Then, the scene changed, and Hu Changsu, Yu Wei, and Zhang Shan appeared in a magnificent Japanese living room. The three of them had superb acting skills, strong lines, and different but equally powerful auras. Everyone's spirit was firmly grasped and they were completely immersed in the film's plot.
Song Mingming looked at his watch. 2 minutes 53 seconds!
Then, the dream extraction journey that made people's scalps explode and their heads explode officially began.
