What could they do in 90 minutes?
They could attend two classes, take a nap, play a ball game with their friends, or enjoy a sweet and romantic dinner with their girlfriends.
They could watch a movie in 90 minutes.
In the No. 1 hall of the Poly Grand Theater, all 500 seats were occupied. When the lights and shadows of swords gradually faded away, the credits appeared on the huge screen. When the theme song of "The Oceans' Roar" sounded again, the lights in the hall slowly lit up, bringing everyone back to reality from the illusory world.
Then there was applause.
Clap!
Clap! Clap! Clap …
At first, it was one or two claps, with some hesitation. But after a few seconds, the applause suddenly became more and more intense, and more and more orderly.
The guests who attended the premiere included industry colleagues who had good cooperation with Chenfei Media, friends of Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er in the circle, and representatives of the media and film critics.
No matter what the level of the movie was, the former would usually applaud out of politeness after watching the movie, but the latter might not, unless the movie was really recognized by them.
Especially the film critics, unless they were specially hired with money, it was very difficult to impress them. These famous professional or semi-professional film critics with many fans on Waves were often very picky about the story, character settings, costumes, special effects, dubbing and music of the movie …
They were all within the scope of their judgment. Their standards might be different, but they were definitely much higher than the average audience.
The same was true for the media and reporters. It was hard to please everyone, and they were no doubt the same.
Now, whether it was the colleagues in the industry, friends in the circle, or the picky media and film critics, everyone applauded and stood up.
No one talked or talked about it. The only thing that echoed in the theater was the endless applause!
Until Lu Chen led all the main crew to the stage.
Chen Guozhi was supposed to lead the crew to the stage for the premiere of "The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer." Unfortunately, he was attending a film festival in Europe as a judge, so he didn't make it.
In addition, Liu Gangsheng and Tan Hong didn't come either. The former had another job, and the latter returned to his homebody life after making a guest appearance in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. He didn't want to stand under the spotlight anymore.
But Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er were enough, especially Lu Chen. He was not only the leading actor of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, but also the action director, scriptwriter, arranger and so on. Undoubtedly, he was the real soul of this movie.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and the applause became even louder.
The applause was recognition, praise, respect, and gratitude at the same time.
Thank you, Lu Chen, and thank you to the crew of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, for giving us such a good movie!
Their applause was warm and sincere!
Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er smiled at each other, while the other main actors and main crew either had red eyes or tears in their eyes. They were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
It was really not easy. It had been a year since The Smiling, Proud Wanderer was set up to today's premiere. The crew had traveled all over the country to shoot and work overtime to meet the schedule. It could be said that they had put in a lot of effort and effort.
However, in the industry and on the Internet, there were many negative comments about this movie, which hadn't been officially released yet. They thought that The Smiling, Proud Wanderer would be the first failure of Chen Fei Media, and they wouldn't even be able to recoup their cost.
Seeing these comments, how could the crew be happy? Especially the actors who had suffered a lot in order to shoot a good action scene, they had been holding back their anger and anger.
Now their hard work had finally been justified. Although the applause now couldn't represent the audience, nor could it determine the box office, at least it made them feel that their hard work wasn't in vain!
"Thank you …"
Lu Chen cupped his hands and saluted, "Thank you for your support!"
The applause that lasted for two minutes finally subsided, and the theater was soon quiet again.
Lu Chen held the microphone and said, "It's a pity that the director of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Director Chen Guozhi, is far away in Spain, so he couldn't attend today's premiere. But I will definitely pass everyone's applause to Director Chen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the applause came again.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's so warm. I feel that Director Chen can hear it even in Europe!"
There was laughter in the applause.
Lu Chen continued, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is the second movie I've been involved in, and it's also the first installment of Chen Fei Media's series of martial arts movies. I can honestly say that I and all the staff of Chen Fei Media have high hopes for The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. I hope it can be loved by the audience, and even go global!"
He didn't hide his ambition at all. If it was before the movie, most people would only politely greet him, or even laugh at him in their hearts.
But after watching the entire movie, many people changed their minds. They were even shocked. It was as if they had suddenly discovered a new world with too many possibilities.
There were many real professionals in the theater. According to their standards, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer would definitely recover its cost, and it was normal for it to make a huge profit from the box office. It was just that the final box office was still unknown.
They had all watched Young Jianghu and The New Seven Heroes and Five Gallants before, and it was because of the comparison that they understood the difference between The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and those films that followed the trend.
This difference in essence would undoubtedly be the potential for The Smiling, Proud Wanderer to achieve success!
Meng Shaotang, who was sitting on the right side of the third row in the theater, was undoubtedly such a professional. He looked at Lu Chen who was standing on the stage, and he was still recalling the wonderful scenes in the movie.
At the same time, he was casually scribbling on the small notebook in his hand, leaving some meaningless lines.
Different from most media reporters and film critics, Meng Shaotang didn't like to use a tablet or a mobile phone to record what he saw. He preferred to write his own thoughts on paper, because the feeling of the pen tip on the paper was irreplaceable by any technology.
From this point of view, Meng Shaotang was a very emotional freelance writer. His film reviews were always full of emotional words. Perhaps it was a little bold and imaginative, but it was different from those of his peers who wrote in a conventional way.
The feeling that The Smiling, Proud Wanderer brought him was completely different from that of Young Jianghu.
Last time when he attended the premiere of Young Jianghu, Meng Shaotang couldn't write anything, because he felt terrible.
But now, he had too many thoughts, and he didn't know how to express them!
