Chapter 510 The Premiere of "Charlotte" (23)

Shen Yan is definitely a media's favorite interview subject...

He answers every question without hesitation—after all, his status speaks for itself!

Furthermore, he and his team have great respect for the media, and have even prepared snacks for them before interviews on several occasions…

Of course, he won't answer anything too private!
For example, matters involving politics, public events, and even personal relationships...

This is understandable, considering he's portrayed as single.

However, this interview covered enough topics. Firstly, it directly addressed the issue of Zhao Youting's refusal of the audition for "Detective Dee." Secondly, is Zhao Youting exceptionally handsome, a great actor, and incredibly popular? I honestly can't tell!

Secondly, it was stated that "Goodbye Mr. Loser's box office should surpass that of American Dreams in China!"

Previously, Shen Yan said in an interview, "The box office record of 'American Dreams in China' will only last for a year at most, and there will definitely be a movie that breaks this box office record this year!"

Many people are still guessing which movie he's referring to...

"Tiny Times" grossed 7200 million on its opening day; many people are the real "Tiny Times" stars...

As a result, the two-part "Tiny Times" series did not even reach 7.5 million yuan at the box office;
After the release of "Fame and Fortune", some people speculated that it would be a huge success... but in the end, "Fame and Fortune" stopped at 9.8 million!
Now, some people are guessing it's "Personal Tailor"...

Unexpectedly, Shen Yan directly revealed the answer: "Goodbye Mr. Loser"!
……

A movie premiere is not the same as a movie premiere.

The premiere is a very important part of the distribution process.

What is the typical program for a premiere? There is a film screening, a director, the main actors, and an interactive Q&A session. In addition, the premiere is usually the first large-scale "party" before the nationwide release, and many media outlets are definitely invited.

All these aspects together constitute a grand publicity campaign, disclosing publicly available information to the audience and the media, sparking discussion, attracting attention, and ultimately promoting the film's release and expanding its influence.

To put it bluntly, it's just a publicity campaign!
The film "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is distributed by Enlight Media and China Film Group.

The production company is Spark Studio…

This naturally attracted a host of celebrity guests…

Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Tong Dawei, Wen Zhang, and Ma Yili all came!
There are even Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing...

Oh, right, Han Han is here too!

As the host, Shen Yan would certainly give a warm welcome.

By the way, he addressed Wen Zhang as "Master Wen!"

This was popularized by Stephen Chow…

The article was indeed incredibly successful—after "Naked Wedding Era," he was asking for 120 million yuan per episode…

When no TV dramas offered him roles, he directed and starred in "Little Daddy," charging himself 125 million per episode!
However, Hunan TV set a new record for domestic dramas by purchasing each episode for 400 million yuan!
—The premiere of "My Love from the Star" was on CCTV, and CCTV's purchase price wasn't that high, only 160 million yuan per episode. Later, the second and third runs sold well, and the online rights were sold for 280 million yuan per episode…

During the show "Tonight's Show," he directly told Guo Degang, "I'm having such a lucky time, brother, I'm just too lucky!"

That's really arrogant!

However, Shen Yan still treated him with great respect...

After all, there's a connection to the family tradition...

Compared to the article, Shen Yan has a better relationship with Ma Yili…

Of course, this is inseparable from Ma Yili's own efforts to protect it—Shen Yan's Spark Studio is a highly sought-after partner in the industry, and Ma Yili is no exception.

The male and female leads of "Sheep Without a Shepherd 2" are still Andy Lau and Ma Yili... The script is somewhat similar to "Silent Killing," set in a girls' high school rife with bullying, where female students begin to disappear after a girl's fatal fall...

The scale is very large...

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, filming for "Sheep Without a Shepherd 2" should begin next March. The director has changed to Rao Xiaozhi, Guo Fan will be the executive producer, and Shen Yan will simply be the producer!

The script is still being finalized...

After all, many scenes with explicit content need to pass censorship.

……

Goodbye Mr. Loser...

Actually, the subject matter of this film is very vulgar, and its message is quite despicable.

But the level of completion is too high!
The play seamlessly integrates madcap comedic elements into its world, transforming compelling emotions into a series of laughs!
Especially the last part…

When Xia Luo fell ill, Zhang Yang and Xia Luo's mother went to visit him.

"Mom, I am an unfilial son, unable to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days."

Luo's mother sobbed quietly.

"While you're still young, find someone else."

"Don't worry about Mom's affairs. Zhang Yang... is a trustworthy person."

"what?"

Zhang Yang: "I've thought it all out. From now on, we'll each call each other by our own names. You'll call me Dad, and I'll call you Brother!"

The audience was laughing hysterically...

Furthermore, the actors' performances... were simply amazing!
Leaving aside the main characters Xia Luo and Ma Dongmei, Meng Te (Meng Te Jiao), who longs to be a woman, and the simple-minded Da Sha Chun, have left a deep impression on the audience and evoked a strong sense of identification.

Actually, their performances all had an exaggerated feel to them…

Yes, exaggerated performances are essential in comedy, but they are also difficult to master.

Good performances, like those of supporting actors such as Ru Hua, Sister Pomegranate, Law Kar-ying, and Ng Man-tat in Stephen Chow's movies, are unforgettable and talked about with great interest.
The worst part is... Bao Beier. His exaggerated and terrifying grin in "Lost in Hong Kong" is so off-putting that people want to avoid him at all costs.

However, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" masterfully balanced exaggerated and satirical performances...

Allen, in particular, portrayed Da Chun as both silly and adorable!

Even though he could only commute to get off work by electric bike and lived a meager life in a cramped 40-square-meter rented room, Dongmei's life with him was no less difficult than when she was with Xia Luo. When he saw sunflowers on the roadside on his way home from get off work, he would stop and buy one. This shows that Da Chun gave all his love and tenderness to Dongmei!
When Charlotte said, "You choose the place, I'll pay," he simply chose an arcade where they used to play together as kids, and was overjoyed to be able to beat Charlotte.

After watching the movie, Shen Teng, Mary, Allen, Chang Yuan, Shen Yan, and Yang Mi lined up on the stage, and the press corps snapped photos.

Host He Jiong watched the entire film and expressed his utter admiration: "My evaluation of the movie 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' can be summed up in eight words: It's incredibly good, incredibly good!"

The Q&A session was very lively, with the audience enthusiastically vying for topics and the actors answering every question.

"I saw a question on Tianya, 'What if you woke up one day and found yourself at your high school desk...' and then I wrote the outline... It was mostly created by Da Mo and Yan Fei. They are both very talented. Back then, before they even graduated, they were already working with their teachers to create skits for the Spring Festival Gala. They also participated in the creation of Cai Ming's 'Dream Home'..."

Yan Fei and Peng Damo were very humble...

"At first, Brother Yan said he wanted the two of us to be directors, but we had never been involved in film production before, so he sent us to the 'Criminal Student' crew as assistant directors to help the director and learn about the film production process... Later we said, 'Brother Yan, we don't have the confidence if you don't play Yuan Hua,' so he came over and played Yuan Hua, and also introduced Sister Mi to play Qiu Ya..."
