The press conference officially began, Lu Ban and Liang Kesheng sat in the center, Gao Shan and Liu Xin Huanghua sat on both sides, and behind them were huge posters.

Outside the door, reporters rushed in from time to time.

Although the scene was still deserted, the reporters who arrived showed excited looks, because this publicity meeting was really star-studded, and before that, many of them were reluctant to come, even those who came first, did not report much hope.

The contrast is so stark.

First-line stars, especially those who are close to super-first-line stars like Gu Qiao and Lin Haitang, are their bonuses to the media.

Not to mention the willow branches.

The host read the introduction according to the script.

A promotional video was also played at the scene.

The fans at the scene originally came for Gao Shan and Liu Xin, but after watching the promotional video, they were full of interest in this drama.

"The songs in it really brought back memories to me. ”

"yes, I want to go back in time. ”

"The movie is definitely going to be good, and I'm going to buy tickets to support it. ”

"I want it too!"

"Rice Rabbit!"

One of the roles of the publicity session is to get the attention of the fans at the scene and make them look forward to the film, because they are the most receptive group of people to the movie.

After the promotional video is played.

This is the most important part of the reporter's question-and-answer session.

The host clicked on a reporter who raised his hand, and after the reporter stood up, he lifted his glasses and said: "First of all, congratulations to Director Lu on the upcoming release, but I want to remind Director Lu that most of the media colleagues on the scene will come over because of the presence of Gu Qiao, Lin Haitang and Liu Zhi, indicating that before this, no, including now, media colleagues are not optimistic about the prospects of this movie, what do you think about this?"

He asked Lu Ban.

The questions he asked were sharp and practical, and most of the reporters on the scene came to Gu Qiao and Lin Haitang, which is an indisputable fact, and it is also a fact that the circle is not optimistic about Lu Ban's movie.

"I don't have any ideas. ”

Lu Ban smiled and said: "Because my movie is not made for media reporters, and the proportion of media reporters who go to the theater to buy tickets has never been the main force, is it true that the movie that the media is not optimistic about will not be good at the box office? People who don't buy tickets to enter the theater have no right to speak, right?"

The reporter was stunned.

Although what Lu Ban said was not rough, it was too embarrassing for the reporters present.

Lu Ban continued: "So I think the quality of a movie should be judged by the audience, not me, nor the media, a good movie should be audience-centric, I believe that there is no movie that revolves around the media, and in the end it will get a good reputation." ”

"Alright, next. ”

Lu Ban did not give this reporter a chance to continue to ask questions, but directly chose the next one.

He knew that the words just now had offended all the reporters present.

But that's what he wants.

Liang Kesheng behind him was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lu Ban to open fire on reporters as soon as he came up.

Especially when there are already a lot of media present.

If there were few reporters just now, the scene was deserted, and it was understandable to lose his temper, but now there are not a few media present, and they are still doing this, which means that Lu Ban must have a plan.

He and Takayama glanced at each other.

The eyes of the two people were on the three female stars sitting below at the same time.

Gu Qiao, Lin Haitang and Willow Branch.

They suddenly understood Lu Ban's thoughts.

"Director Lu, hello. ”

The second reporter is a girl, but she doesn't speak as weak as a girl at all, she asked sharply: "As we all know, the Spring Festival stalls have always been the most tragic period of box office competition, and all the movies in the Spring Festival stalls are full of big names, of course, I don't mean to belittle the starring role of this movie, but the fact is that this movie is indeed bleak, you won't have no thoughts about it, right?"

"Who told you that movies have to rely on big names?"

Lu Ban smiled and said: "Big names have a certain box office appeal, but there are not a few people who have big names but have suffered Waterloo over the years, right? On the contrary, I think the most important thing in a movie is the story, only if the story is told well and the actors play well, it is a good movie." ”

The reporters at the scene frowned slightly, and some nodded frequently.

Because in the past few years, they have indeed seen a lot of films with luxurious lineups, but the box office is miserable.

Lu Ban continued: "I believe everyone knows the front and back of our play, and everyone is familiar with the leading actors, Mr. Gao Shan doesn't need me to introduce more, there ......is no problem with the acting skills, right?

Lu Ban just finished the introduction.

Then.

Willow stood up, and the reporters sitting below turned their cameras at her.

Lu Ban's brows furrowed slightly.

He didn't know what Willow Branch was going to do, and he had just scrapped so much lip service that he finally diverted the attention of reporters away from the big-name stars, in order to get reporters to pay more attention to the movie, rather than the three big-name names sitting below.

"Sister Yanagi, hello. Lu Ban said hello with a smile.

Liu Zhi also smiled, walked on stage, took the microphone handed by the host and said: "Director Lu, hello, this is our first meeting, I have often heard your name during this time, and I admire you very much." ”

Lu Ban smiled slightly.

In fact, the drum is still beating in my heart.

"I think I owe you more than admiration. ”

Liu Zhi continued: "Thank you for trusting Gatling, trusting Teacher Gao......"

After speaking, she bowed deeply.

The "click" of countless cameras rang out from the audience.

Takayama sat in the back, not saying a word.

"Sister Liuzhi, you make me ......"

"Director Lu, what I said was from my heart. ”

Liu Zhi sighed and said: "Leaving Gatling back then was a very important decision I made in my life, which affected my life, but what I miss the most is still the days when I was acting with Mr. Gao and the Gatling brothers and sisters. ”

"I thought about making amends, but I know better about Mr. Gao's character, and he won't accept any compensation from me. ”

"So thank you, let Gatlin, let Mr. Gao, have the opportunity to return to the stage. ”

Lu Ban understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nope. ”

He smiled and said, "Actually, Sister Liuzhi, you made a mistake. ”

"Huh?" Willow Branch was slightly stunned.

Lu Ban continued: "In fact, Mr. Gao has never left the stage, in the small county town of Lanxi, I saw a group of people who love acting, their love for acting is the only one I have seen in my life, they are the real actors." ”

"Love, a real actor......" Willow muttered.

After a while,

"I see. ”

Liu Zhi turned around and looked at Gao Shan: "Teacher Gao, my contract has expired, I want to go back to Gatling, is it okay?"

The audience was in an uproar.

The super-first-line artist Liu Zhi wants to return to the dilapidated Gatling Troupe?

Not kidding, right?

It's just amazing.

Willow Branch's eyes were full of anticipation, perhaps this was her truest thought right now.

Takayama stood up, he looked at Willow Branch, and sighed with emotion, the resentment that Willow Branch had felt when he ran away seemed to have vanished after Willow Branch said these words.

Maybe I didn't resent it for a long time, but I never thought about it.

He smiled, gentle and kind.

Willow Branch seems to see the mountain when she first taught herself to act.

"Gatling isn't for you. ”

Gao Shan said softly: "I don't have any resentment when I said this, it's my sincere words, whether it's right or wrong for you to leave Gatling, now you are no longer the willow branch of the past, you have a broader world, I hope you can find your place in that world, instead of returning to Gatling, understand?"

"Teacher......" Willow begged.

Takayama stepped forward and said, "Gatling will be fine, I'll be okay, I hope you'll be better." ”

With that, he opened his arms.

Willow Branch's tears swirled in his eyes, and he stepped forward and hugged Takayama tightly.

This pair of teachers and students.

After many years, the misunderstanding was finally resolved.

Even if Willow Branch did not return to Gatling, the estrangement between the two people was long gone.

After separation.

Liu Zhi picked up the microphone and said to all the media and audiences: "I hope everyone can support this movie, because all the actors in this movie are very good, as Director Lu said, they are the real actors." ”

After speaking, she bowed deeply.

Liu Zhi, a super first-line artist, made such a move, which directly washed away the anger that Lu Ban had just spent.

Lu Ban smiled, picked up the microphone and said, "I'm very happy to see Teacher Gao and Liu Zhi reconcile, it doesn't seem appropriate to use the word reunion...... Let's go back to the film, and the next reporter asks a question. ”

The audience burst into laughter.

Liang Kesheng nodded secretly, although the atmosphere just now was warm enough, but it did not match today's theme, Lu Ban pulled the topic back with a word.

Lu Ban was also very helpless, and finally eliminated the influence of the big names, but because of the coming to power of Liu Zhi, he fell short.

So he had to bring the conversation back to the movie.

And the topic needs to be buzzing enough.

After a few questions, they were all decent questions.

Some reporters asked about Takayama.

Some reporters asked Liu Xin.

Some unreliable reporters even asked Lin Haitang and Gu Qiao's follow-up work arrangements.

I'm afraid this reporter didn't go to the wrong venue, right?

Finally, a reporter asked: "May I ask Director Lu, what is your box office expectation for this movie?"

"Box office?"

Lu Ban stretched out his hand, his five fingers spread.

"Fifty million?" the reporter thinks is reasonable.

"I think you may have misunderstood. ”

The corners of Lu Ban's mouth hooked up a little arc, and he said with a smile: "What I said is - five hundred million!"

The voice fell.

There was silence.
