Chapter 299: Premiere Incident

The second wave of "Future SWAT" has ended.

Ke Zhan Chi walked out of the screening room.

At the premiere, countless reporters, film critics, and big names in the industry attended the premiere.

Countless people praised the hard work of everyone in the crew, praised Xie Tianwang's acting skills, Lu Zihan's handsomeness, and praised the rise of Chinese science fiction films. "Future SWAT" is a pioneer...

At the premiere, there was peace and prosperity in the country and the people, and auspicious phoenixes...

All Ke Zhan Chi heard were praises and various fancy boasts about "Future SWAT"...

It is inevitable to immerse yourself in these praises, and feel a little proud. At one point, I thought that I really opened the first year of Chinese science fiction films with "Future SWAT"!

[Is Xie Tianwang crazy? Fighting is falling in love, saving the world is falling in love, and the earth is destroyed. ]

[This plot is so bad, this is the first time I have seen it in my life! ]

[Are you sick! I walked into the cinema with great expectations, hoping to see a good movie, but I didn't expect to see shit? 】

【Another money-making movie by Xie Tianwang, how many more fans can you still consume? 】

【It is indeed a youth-themed movie, and a science fiction movie can be made into a love movie! 】

【……】

However, after the premiere, a series of film reviews on Douban pulled Ke Zhanchi down from the sky.

The sun at noon was a bit dazzling.

Ke Zhanchi blocked it with his eyes.

The second screening without the praise of film critics, entertainment media, and countless big names really made Ke Zhanchi realize that he really made a bad movie!

Ten minutes after the movie started, several people secretly cursed. Half an hour later, there were more people cursing. After an hour, there were fewer curses...

Well...

It’s not because the movie has a twist and surprise, but because there are more than ten empty seats in the front row that was originally full, and the audience who couldn’t bear to watch it all left...

The rest are all die-hard fans of Xie Tianwang and Lu Zihan. No matter how bad the movie is, they will watch it.

"It was rejected in Cannes, and it's normal to be rejected. In the past two years, Cannes has become more and more strict. It not only considers the art of film, but also the commerciality of the film..."

"But don't be discouraged. We have sold a lot of copyrights overseas. With product placement, there is no problem for "Future Special Police" to make a small profit..."

The phone rang.

The call was from Xu Shengnan.

After Ke Zhanchi had a simple chat with Xu Shengnan, he was extremely depressed.

He originally thought that he could make a bad script well with his talent.

But...

Unexpectedly, after adding his own concept of "love under the crisis of the end of the world", the movie became worse and worse!

Ke Zhanchi walked on the street, looking at the busy city in confusion...

A small profit?

His original intention was never to make a small profit!

………………………………

This year's [Cannes International Film Festival] is a little later than usual.

It officially opened in June this year, and closed and awarded on June 12.

As a famous French critic and internationally renowned filmmaker, Avery Zashi will naturally continue to serve as one of the judges of the [Cannes International Film Festival] this year.

April.

It is the busiest day for Avery Zashi.

Since the beginning of the month, Avery Zashi has been reviewing films, holding meetings, discussing registered films, preparing for the [Cannes Film Festival], screening public votes, confirming the nominations almost every day...

He is so busy that he can't even take a breath or smoke a cigar.

This year's [Cannes International Film Festival] is being reformed. As one of the three major film festivals in Europe, this year's Cannes Organizing Committee wants to make Cannes a success. Not only do they want to refine the artistry of the film to the extreme, but they are also ambitious and want to select a film that will have a global impact.

The organizing committee is convinced that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes!

In the past, 50 films were registered for Cannes, but this year the threshold has been opened to 100.

The surge in workload has hurt Avery Zashi and other judges.

"Mr. Zhang Sheng, I'll only give you ten minutes..."

Theoretically, during the preparation period of the [Cannes International Film Festival], the judges are not allowed to communicate with the director.

However!

Bi Feiyu has been squatting at the door of his hotel every day for half a month to watch him.

It's killing me!

In the cafe.

He met Zhang Sheng in the SIA cafe.

There was no polite etiquette, no handshake, just a simple nod.

Zhang Sheng came on time. He made an appointment at half past ten, and just came at the last second.

He put his watch on the table, and after he finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Sheng seriously, waiting for Zhang Sheng to speak.

Ten minutes...

He admired Bi Feiyu, the talent of the Chinese director, and was willing to give his new film a chance. He also wanted to hear what reasons Zhang Sheng could use to get a horror film shortlisted for the [Cannes International Film Festival].

A horror film shortlisted for the [Cannes International Film Festival]!

Isn't this a joke?

Something that has never happened since the beginning of the world.

"Mr. Avery Zashi, '7 Days to Die' is an art film that can influence the world!"

"Art film? Sorry, I just read the introduction of '7 Days to Die', it's a horror film..."

""Seven Days to Die" is indeed a literary film. At the same time, it is a film that covers vision, hearing, touch, and smell. It is full of Chinese causal culture and religious culture..."

"There are eight minutes left..." Avery Tashi nodded, but there was no expression on his face. He just looked at the time.

"It abandons the bloodiness of traditional movies. You can't even see any bloodiness in the whole movie, but it can make your hair stand on end..."

"Seven minutes..."

"..."

Bi Feiyu was listening.

He watched Zhang Sheng boasting about "Seven Days to Die" and making the whole movie go crazy.

But Avery Tashi just looked at the time, but his face never showed any interest.

Time passes little by little...

In a blink of an eye, it was the last minute.

It was the first time that Bi Feiyu saw Zhang Sheng deflated on a human body. In the past, Zhang Sheng could even call the dead alive. At this moment, his mouth escape seemed to have completely failed.

The ten minutes are up quickly.

Avery Tashi looked out the window, then picked up his watch and looked at the time: "Ten minutes are up."

He stood up.

When Zhang Sheng saw him standing up, he also stood up.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhang Sheng, you still can't convince me. I still can't accept what you call a horror literary film..."

"That's a pity..."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang Sheng, I have to get on with my work."

"good!"

Bi Feiyu watched Avery Tashi stand up and leave the coffee shop.

"Mr. Zhang, I said it won't work for horror films to be nominated for Cannes..."

He turned his head to look at Zhang Sheng, but saw that there was no disappointment on Zhang Sheng's face. Instead, he stared blankly at the back of Avery Tashi as he left.

After a long time...

He pushed up his glasses and said without much frustration on his face: ""Seven Days to Die" premieres tonight..."

"At night?" Bi Feiyu was stunned.

"Yes, Avery Tashi will come over..."

"How did you know he was coming?"

"Avery Tashi just can't accept what I said. It doesn't mean that he won't come to see "Seven Days to Die". Moreover, he won't come alone. He may bring others here..."

"Mr. Zhang, why are you so sure?"

"My guess!"

After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Li Bin, are you ready for that special screening room? Well, what did the psychiatrists say? There's nothing wrong with the decorations? Okay! No problem...?"

……………………

Avery Tashi was busy until ten o'clock in the evening.

The review of the film made him feel dizzy.

It even numbed his sense of smell and he didn't know which movies were good or bad.

At ten o'clock in the evening, there was constant noise downstairs.

He was a little irritated by these sounds.

Then he saw a group of reporters carrying cameras, rushing eastward.

He frowned.

I briefly asked the doorman.

The guard told him that someone seemed to have had a heart attack after watching "Seven Days to Die".

Avery Tashi is not superstitious.

When he heard this, he smiled, thinking that Zhang Sheng might be trying to attract his attention through hype again, and asked him to watch the so-called "Seven Days to Die".

but……

Finally, he glanced in the east direction.

After being silent for a long time, he finally decided to give Zhang Sheng and Bi Feiyu a chance.

Maybe……

Is it possible that this young Chinese director can really give him some amazing movies?

He took out his cell phone and made a few calls.

More than ten minutes later...

Several judges walked down tiredly.

"Mr. Avery Tashi, we really don't want to watch any movies, we just want to have a good sleep!"

When they saw Avery Tashi, they had a wry smile on their faces.

but……

Even so, after Avery Tashi said something, the judges finally nodded.

They got in the car and drove towards [Sailu Cinema].

When a group of them arrived at the entrance of the cinema, they saw reporters gathered around the entrance.

A few people glanced at it curiously, but they couldn't squeeze through the crowd. Moreover, "Seven Days to Die" seemed to be very popular, with almost countless people watching it in the middle of the night!

Avery Tashi made a phone call with Zhang Sheng.

After a while...

He saw Zhang Sheng walking out with a smile on his face.

Warmly inviting them in...

They followed Zhang Sheng into a slightly cold screening room.

"Mr. Avery Tashi, please sit here..."

"Hello, Mr. Chogoris, sit here..."

"..."

Although it was a midnight show, the cinema was packed with people.

Avery Tashi sat down.

He didn't know why, but he felt an inexplicable sense of depression...

He didn't know where this depression came from.

He looked around. The decoration in the cinema seemed a bit abnormal. The placement of some items seemed a bit messy?

He shook his head!

Then, the lights went out...

The movie begins!

Just when the movie was officially playing, he saw Zhang Sheng next to him answering a phone call.

Then, he suddenly saw Zhang Sheng's face change drastically, and turned very ugly: "What! This, Mr. Leo John is in trouble?"

Zhang Sheng's expression...

seemed not to be fake.

One minute into the movie, Zhang Sheng suddenly came to Avery Zaxi's side, then took a deep breath, with an apologetic look on his face: "Sorry, Mr. Avery Zaxi... Let's change to another screening room..."

"Mr. Zhang Sheng..."

"This screening room is not showing anymore! Elaine! The movie is stopped, and this screening room is temporarily sealed! Sorry, everyone follow me to another screening room!"

"..."

Avery Zaxi watched Zhang Sheng suddenly stand up, then ran to the middle of the screening room and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The movie that had just been shown was cut off by the staff at the first time!

Avery Zaxi looked at some busy staff not far away, as well as the confused audience...

He suddenly became nervous.

All this!

It doesn't seem like hype!

What's wrong with this cinema? Is there something wrong?

(I felt really guilty, and then, I broke my promise and updated again... 7,000 words today!)
