Disaster Artist - Chapter 1162
It turns out that Lu Qian, who has always been confident and wise, sometimes worries about gains and losses.
But looking at it from the side, this also proves once again that the work “City of Falling Stars” is a special existence for Lu Qian.
More than ever, Yu Shao sincerely hopes that this work will be a success:
It is not because of the continuation of the “undefeated halo”, nor is it because of the desire to face those professionals and news media, and it is not because Blue Whale Pictures needs this success to overturn the situation… Maybe these are objective reasons, and they are also very, very important The reason, but the real reason is Lu Qian.
Lu Qian’s focus, Lu Qian’s enthusiasm, Lu Qian’s devotion… all the blood is poured into the lens, and projected on the film to build a world of light and shadow. That story carries all Lu Qian’s expectations and nostalgia for movies, dreams and life. , this emotion is worth cherishing.
In the commercial society, in the era when movies have also become commodities, how many people still make movies because of their dreams?
Yu Shao hopes that “City of Falling Stars” will be successful, mainly because he wants to believe in dreams, and he wants to believe that there is still a ray of hope in life.
“Director, the movie will be successful.”
Yu Shao said that he couldn’t tell for a while whether he was comforting Lu Qian or convincing himself.
Lu Qian turned his head and looked over, seeing Yu Shao’s expression, he immediately laughed.
“Ah.”
“Brother Yu, it’s rare to see you so worried about gains and losses.”
Yu Shao was dumbfounded for a while.
However, Lu Qian is still in the mood to joke, which means that things shouldn’t be too bad.
“I’m worried about the movie, it’s true.”
“Post-production is still too hasty.”
“If possible, I really tend to miss Lan Xia.”
“Come here now, although it is not a semi-finished product, it is still an unfinished product, and it is still a little bit far from the ideal version in my mind. As a result, the work is about to meet the audience at the Blue Summer Film Festival. I lack enough confidence , which is clearly not the version I want viewers to see.”
This is also the biggest difference from the past—
Before the work reaches its satisfactory state, it will be on the big screen to meet the audience.
As we all know, editing and post-production are the second life for movies, and their existence value lies in that they can even easily destroy a movie beyond recognition.
But do viewers care?
not.
“Starfall City” premiered, although it is not the perfect version that Lu Qian expected, but will the audience take this into consideration? Will the audience show mercy? Will the audience be more forgiving and considerate because this is a rough cut? Will audiences be willing to sympathetically hand out some good reviews to salvage the situation?
of course not.
Don’t like it, just don’t like it.
Maybe some movie fans will insist on waiting for the “director’s cut” to prove the work, but these fans are a minority after all. For the general public, seeing a work is already over, and they will not consider the director’s cut. Will consider brushing twice and brushing three times, if you don’t like it, you just don’t like it.
Now, Lu Qian must face such a situation:
Face the ultimate test with an imperfect and incomplete version.
Nervousness and apprehension, worry and restlessness are all normal reactions.
and then?
Yu Shao could sense that Lu Qian hadn’t finished speaking.
“but…”
Sure enough, there was a twist.
“I’ve made my choice.”
“Facing the invitation, I can refuse, even if we are in a complicated state, but if I insist, I can still refuse. However, I didn’t, I finally agreed to the invitation, and with this no The edited version came to Lanxia.”
“This also means that I have to be prepared to face the audience. As for the nervousness and anxiety, it is my personal problem and I need to adjust slowly.”
Yu Shao opened his mouth slightly, and after thinking about it seriously, he couldn’t hold back his smile after all, “Then what was the director thinking about just now?”
“‘Nocturnal animals’.” Lu Qian shrugged and gave an unexpected but reasonable answer.
Yu Shao kept his mouth open, and after a while, nodded sullenly:
Nothing to say.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Shao also realized his nervousness.
The turmoil of the past few months is not only caused by Lu Qian, but also by Yu Shao, everyone in Blue Whale Films can feel the pressure layer upon layer:
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building.
Rather than saying that people are targeting “City of Starfall” or Lu Qian, it is better to say that after experiencing various major events, the industry finally realized the threat of Blue Whale Films, so the containment began.
Even if people still have reservations about the threat of Echo, it is an objective fact that Blue Whale Films is getting more and more open in the field of film production. Major film companies and different organizations have different positioning and strategies for Blue Whale Films. Changes have taken place, and the pressure concentrated on “Starfall City” is just the tip of the iceberg.
It is precisely because of this that the landing of “Starfall City” at the Lanxia Film Festival is likely to be the key to turning the situation around.
Yu Shao was worried about Lu Qian, but why not himself?
result-
He was teased by Lu Qian. At the film festival, it is natural to enjoy the movie.
“‘Nocturnal Animals’, um…” Yu Shao nodded repeatedly, “Indeed, if you don’t think about this work, what else should you think about? We should all think about this movie.”
Seeing Yu Shao’s depressed expression, Lu Qian laughed happily.
In the sea breeze, a high-pitched voice came.
“So, what are you guys thinking about, can you share?”
Following the sound, Lu Qian and Yu Shao both turned their heads to look over, and then saw Chu Chengbai who was holding a suit jacket in his hand, his bow tie was unbuttoned, and his shirt button was slightly unbuttoned. A shallow approach slowly.
Lu Qian’s eyes were full of surprises.
“Aren’t you supposed to be preparing for the post-screening press conference?”
Obviously, it was an absolute accident to see Chu Chengbai here at this moment.
Chu Chengbai shrugged.
“I put the press conference aside and came here to find someone and show that I value it, so should you be flattered?”
Lu Qian doesn’t buy it at all~www.mtlnovel.com~ Even if you don’t, I will be flattered. But now, the press conference is open, and I’m going to be the scapegoat. Do you know how scary journalists are? ”
“Haha.” Chu Chengbai was immediately amused, and laughed heartily, his footsteps were already approaching, there was no need to continue talking at the top of his voice.
“I noticed your expression.”
Lu Qian:?
“The expression after watching the movie.”
“A Qian, in the film industry, I am a novice, but in the fashion industry, I am a veteran, and because of this, no one dares to tell the truth in front of me, everyone is flattering, as if I entered the film industry from fashion The industry is still like a genius, and I am surrounded by applause and praise.”
“But the cruelest truth in the film industry is that audiences don’t lie, whether they like it or hate it, whether it is positive or negative, the truth will eventually surface.”
“I need a friend who tells the truth.”
