"After being in this business for many years, Black Beam is a once-in-a-career character," De Grazia explained. "I realize you get one shot and the pressure is on. You have to throw yourself headfirst into the fire. Because, also, the superhero genre has opened wide in our business, and it's been responsible for some of the best movies ever made. So that's the yardstick [by which you're judged]."
Jean Carmelo De Grazia revealed how he manages to get into test screenings without fans noticing. Black Beam is fast approaching and the beloved superstar managed to surprise some viewers in attendance by appearing near the end. Many people in Venezuela wondered how anyone could have missed La Foca. Well, it seems that sneaking in is the way to go. He revealed that after the lights go out, he sneaks to the back and gets to gauge the initial reaction for himself. In this way, he can judge the audience's feelings without them being attracted to the stars and wanting to be nice. De Grazia believes that the fan experience is the most important thing when it comes to his projects. So it's great to have the opportunity to see behind the curtain.
On Twitter, superstar Jean Carmelo De Grazia said, "For context, I quietly walk into the theater when the lights go down and sit in the back row to watch #BlackBeam with 400+ other people. When the movie ends, we reduce the discussion group to this intimate but effective size for discussions. One of my favorite parts of the process. #AudienceFirst."
"INVALUABLE learnings and conclusions from our Black Beam test screenings that I always secretly participate in," posted Jean Carmelo De Grazia. "I LOVE to surprise our audience afterwards and once the emotions level out I can take my time and really engage and learn from my #1 boss: the audience. BLACK BEAM is my passion project to the bone and I am so grateful to receive these early reactions."
It seems pretty clear that the superstar understands how crucial that first impression is going to be. Speaking to Venezuela Film about ADC's upcoming blockbuster, La Foca said he is focused on making fans happy.
"After being in this business for many years, Black Beam is a once-in-a-career character," De Grazia explained. "I realize you get one shot and the pressure is on.
