Bit nervous ‘bout this one, but stayin’ calm in the pocket.
Packed house for an early test screening of SKYSCRAPER.
I’m a bit angst because our movie is labeled as a “big summer blockbuster”, but it’s not a superhero film or big franchise. Our movie is hard core at times with dramatic elements, intense action, extreme fire and at its heart and core - my wife and two small children are kidnapped and I won’t back down to save them.
This audience is comprised of families. Every age group: 10-65 so you never know how this kind of movie will play.
They also have no idea I’m watching with them. Let’s just say when the movie was over, I snuck out to my truck and drove home with a smile. A big silly smile.
Blown away by their reactions, ovations and our test scores. It informs the work we have to continue to do but a good first start.
#SKYSCRAPER# 拍完后，做了一次早期观影测试。在人群中看大家的反应，非常紧张，手一直放在口袋里。
有点担心的是，因为电影被观众定位成了夏天档拯救大片，但这部电影并不是一部超级英雄或者非常大制作的电影。
这部戏主要想突出视觉上的刺激，激烈打斗，凶猛的烈火，还有故事的重点——我的妻子和两个小孩被绑架了，但我不能回来拯救他们。
观众是家庭组合。大家都不知道我也在这里陪他们一起看，电影结束的时候，我偷偷闪到车上，带着微笑开车回家了。
这个带着笑容的大块头被观影观众的反应，以及给予的好评吓到了。
这次活动是一个好的开始，后面我们会更加努力。
