“The timing’s perfect. The students are on vacation, and they have time to watch movies.” Lu Man said, “The target audience for films with such themes are young people, focusing mainly on students and young working adults.”
As such, they decided on a date for the press screening.
The preview was scheduled to happen a week before the release date of the movie, and there would be one screening showing per day.
To prevent people from sending hatements and giving negative reviews before the test screening, Han Zhuofeng secretly sent out invitations to the major mediapanies.
There was no public announcement.
In addition to the major media outlets and film critics, he invited some professional trantors who frequently tranted the subtitles for Hollywood movies.
Those professionals were famous and verified on Weibo.
Although they were just trantors, they had watched a lot of movies and could provide a rather authoritative assessment.
These trantors were even invited to the test screenings of many popr Hollywood movies.
In the mind of theizens, these individuals’ film reviews had high reference value.
As such, the press screening for ‘Dimensions’ started secretly.
Although Lu Man only yed a cameo role in the film, she still saw how difficult it was to shoot the film.
Because of Shi Xiaoya, Han Zhuoling visited the set everyday and became familiar with the filming process as well.
And so, they had a lot of faith in the movie Han Zhuofeng directed.
When the press screening ended, the result was just as they had expected.
The major mediapanies, independent content creators, and some verified Weibo users all expressed their thoughts on social media.
Filmmaker Huang: “I was at the press screening for ”Dimensions.’ The movie was shot wonderfully. This film has opened the doors for future sci-fi films in our country. There are some imperfections, but that can definitely be ignored. This film is qualified topete with Hollywood movies.”
It All Depends On Attitude: “Initially, because ‘Dimensions’ is Director Han Zhuofeng’s first film and because Han Zhuofeng is the third young master of the Han Family, I thought that this would be a child’s y and didn’t have high expectations before I started watching it. In fact, I was even skeptical. However, when I finished the movie, I found myself loving it.”
Trantor SuiFeng: “The movie ‘Dimensions’ can be described as a legendary film. Although this film was based on a novel, it managed to convey the suspense and the mentally exhausting parts of the novel. Han Zhuofeng dug out the content in the novel and broke it down into many pieces and studied the novel a little by little. He also added some of his own reasoning and understanding of the work. You can see that he has also done a lot of analysis of the original work and put in a lot of effort.”
Just a Voice Actor: “I give full marks to the special effects in this movie. You can see the sincerity through its special effects. However, this is not a meaningless movie that presents only remarkable special effects. The director has very strong storytelling skills. Not only does this movie has remarkable special effects, but it also presents an awesome plot with very strong logic. It’s hard to imagine that this is Han Zhuofeng’s first movie.”
Incapable Monk: “I will watch this movie again during the official screening. Even though I watched it once, there is still a lot to unpack, and there are a lot of details I missed. This is the kind of movie that you would need to watch twice, thrice, or even four times.”
Moving Cloud and Flowing Water: “The original story is good and the movie itself presented very genuine special effects. These two factors make this a good movie. ‘Dimensions’ is a film that fills the gap in the history of sci-fi films and makes the Chinese film industry feel proud of it.”
The influencers who attended the press screening published their post-viewing reviews as well.
There were a lot of positive reviews.
Lu Man immediately contacted the social media ounts, gossiping ounts, and celebrity news ounts with a good rtionship with her.
All those ounts immediately started sharing those positive reviews.
Then, she boosted the post and made the topic trending.
She had never been scared of spending money on publicity.
In addition, the Han Family was rich.
The money used for promoting the movie wasn’t part of Han Zhuofeng’s film budget.
This was a separate budget.
Anyway, the Han Family had personally invested in this movie.
As such, it didn’t matter to them if they spent a little more money to promote the movie.
The family would be the one to profit or lose money.
Since there were more than enough funds for the marketing of this movie, Lu Man felt very rxed as she promoted the movie.
This was the first time she used money recklessly to promote something. It was simple and violent. Lu Man enjoyed it a lot.
There were three other films doing publicity and promotion before their release dates.
However, those three movie did their publicity by having their main cast members attend events.
They would release previews online.
Such marketing strategies could not bepared with the confident move yed by Han Zhuofeng, who hosted a movie screening.
The reviews of ‘Dimensions’ were based on the actual film instead of a teaser.
Pineapple Net started allowing ratings of the film.
And the rating of the film immediately went up to 9.6.
Of course, this was because there weren’t many people rating the movie.
Once more people start reviewing the movie, the rating should drop.
However, there had only been a press screening.
The people who had watched the movie represented the media.
The people who worked for the media gave good reviews.
The others had yet to watch it, so they couldn’t rate the movie.
Even ifpetitors wanted to hire an army of people to give low ratings, it wouldn’t work.
After all, they released the list of the names of the media representatives who had watched the movie.
If the movie wasn’t publicly released yet, how could they give a bad review when they couldn’t have watched it.
However, there were ounts that gave low ratings on Pineapple Net.
Some gave a score of 1, and some gave a score of 0.
Han Zhuoling asked someone to take note of all the ounts that gave them a low rating.
“This is just the beginning. When the movie is officially released, the number of low ratings will increase,” Lu Man said, “Take note of all the ounts that are giving low ratings right now. Check their otherments and their pastments. You can determine if they are real users by what they arementing and the total number ofments.”
“If they were hired, take note of their ounts. When there are more of them, we will be able to investigate them and find out who hired them.” Lu Man said.
As such, Han Zhuofeng did just that.
It was just as they had expected. When the public screening started, the number of negativements increased.
More and more people watched the movie.
Goddess Elder Sister Yo: “The movie is too good! The more you think about the plot, the scarier it feels. When you first started watching, you won’t think much about it. You just know that the story flows well and that’s how you finished the entire movie. But after you finished the movie and you think back to what had happened, you would feel goosebumps. Even without the special effects, this is an excellent film. With remarkable special effects, this movie is a banger!”
The Moon is Sour: “Awesome special effects! Every frame of the movie showed some special effects. I don’t know how much money they spent on this. When I was watching, I even forgot that I was watching a locally-made movie. I thought I was watching a Hollywood CGI movie. This is exceptional! The story is awesome! The CGI is awesome! Promise me that you will watch this movie.”
Dog 22: I will definitely watch it again. I watched it with my boyfriend. I will watch it again with my bestie. After that, I will watch it with my parents. The plot might be too mentally exhausting for them, and they might not be able to understand it, but they will be fine just watching the special effects in this movie. After all, this is an exceptional movie made in our country.”
