Chapter 38: The Premiere

Didn't buy a ticket for the premiere of your own movie?

Zhang Qiang didn't know how to complain about Cheng Ran, checked out and packed up his things, Zhang Qiang didn't say a word, and pulled Cheng Ran to the nearest nearby movie theater to make up for the ticket.

said it was an early morning file, but because the movie started at two o'clock and ended at three o'clock, it was basically a midnight file.

And because Cheng Ran's movie did not invest too much resources in publicity, it was naturally impossible for the premiere to be full of that kind of situation, and when Zhang Qiang took Cheng Ran to the movie to buy tickets, there was no full situation as Zhang Qiang imagined.

"You said it's not a matter for us to wait here, or go buy two movies to watch and study by the way?"

Hurried over from the barbecue stall, and after successfully buying two tickets, Cheng Ran and Zhang Qiang sat bored in the corner of the hall eating popcorn.

"Buy, I'll see if you buy it. ”

Cheng Ran looked at the trailer about Cai Dongming's "Precious You" and a Hollywood-produced "Mechanical Shark" sci-fi film playing in the hall, and in the end it was Cheng Ran's "This Man is from Earth", and there was only one shot, basically no highlights, which was not comparable to the beautiful scenes of Cai Dongming's "Precious You" and the scenes full of violent aesthetics in "Mechanical Shark".

"Cheng Ran, don't you want to pick the door like this!"

Zhang Qiang looked at Cheng Ran's natural appearance and suddenly became angry, and he had to pay for two movie tickets by himself.

Stingy?

It's called frugality, okay?

For his retirement in a year, Cheng Ran had to reduce his expenses, and even cigarettes had to be rubbed against Zhang Qiang.

Seeing Cheng Ran's unmoved appearance, Zhang Qiang couldn't bear the loneliness and ran to the scalper to buy two movies at a premium of three or four times.

The first is the Hollywood sci-fi masterpiece "Mechanical Shark".

...............

Wu Xuanqide and the two have been partners for many years as film critics, and the two became friends in college because of their interest in movies, and after graduation, the two of them opened an account on Weihu to be responsible for pushing some high-quality movies to fans, plus lightning protection.

After just half a year, the two introduced the movie in the mode of talking double reeds, not only humorous and humorous words, but also expressed different opinions about a movie, and soon the two won millions of fans.

"Hollywood's sci-fi blockbusters are basically a routine, the plot is really not innovative, except for the special effects are good, there are no big advantages......"

"In addition to the flat plot, the special effects of this movie are extremely realistic, giving people an immersive feeling, and the soundtrack is also very good, which can be regarded as a high-quality film produced by Hollywood this year......"

Qi Dewu and Xuan sat at the back of the movie, sharing their experiences in a low voice, basically to the point that professional critics in the later stage of the movie can roughly guess the ending of the movie, they want to take advantage of this time to record and share their experiences, and sort out the copywriting in a short time and post it on Weihu to share it with fans.

............

"Fatty, fatty, don't sleep, the movie is over. ”

Cheng Ran woke up the fat man who was sleeping like a dead pig on the side, and was about to pack up and leave.

"It's over?"

Zhang Qiang stood up, stretched, looked at the audience that began to leave, and muttered.

"What kind of garbage movie is this, why do so many people like to watch it!"

"Don't say it, I think it's a pretty good shot, especially the shocking scenes and background music, which give people a sense of immersion. ”

Compared with Zhang Qiang's coldness, Cheng Ran said with relish.

It's not the same world, but Hollywood's special effects are still so good.

Zhang Qiang looks at Cheng Ran like a fool, he is a professional director, if you talk about special effects, Zhang Qiang really has nothing to say, but this plot is too old-fashioned, there are no highlights, and the whole movie is really nothing to look at.

"Calculate, I won't fight with you, go and see what "Precious You" is, I heard that it is still starring Cai Dongming. ”

Seeing Zhang Qiang's lack of interest, Cheng Ran was too lazy to waste time with Zhang Qiang, with the stimulation of this movie, Cheng Ran is now full of energy, and is ready to watch the next movie "Precious You" with great interest.

Zhang Qiang is also very curious about this movie, which is said to have invested tens of millions.

After packing up their things, Cheng Ran and the two came to the "Precious You" broadcast hall starring Cai Dongming.

Compared with "Mechanical Shark", most of the audience of "Precious You" are young audiences in their teens and twenties, and most of them are women.

It can be seen that most of them are fans of Cai Dongming, and there are very few real passers-by, especially the two big men like Cheng Ran and Zhang Qiang team up to watch this kind of youth film.

The movie begins quickly, and after a long list of sponsor logos in the prologue, the Dragon Logo debuts at the beginning of the movie.

The approximate plot of "Precious You" is that a man and a girl fall in love in high school, and they meet together and are admitted to the same university to officially get together, and before that, many male and female protagonists have gone from enemies to ambiguous processes.

After that, the two worked together to meet the college entrance examination, but the female protagonist accidentally fell and injured her leg on the eve of the college entrance examination and missed the college entrance examination.

Later, after the male protagonist was successfully admitted to the agreed university, he learned that the female protagonist went to another city for treatment because of a leg injury.

In that era when communication was mainly based on letters, the male and female protagonists gradually sank into the vast sea of people.

It wasn't until the class reunion many years later that the male protagonist wore a luxurious suit and saw the female protagonist who was obviously pregnant through the glass.

The movie ends when the heroine turns around and sees the male protagonist outside the glass.

Is this movie good?

Cheng Ran didn't know.

Zhang Qiang didn't know.

If you didn't buy a large cup of coffee in advance, Qi De and Wu Xuan probably didn't know.

"This movie ......"

"I haven't seen such a bad movie for many years, and the propaganda says that it has invested 30 million?

Wu Xuan took two sips of coffee and couldn't help complaining.

The male protagonist has three expressions in the whole movie, laughing, crying, with a straight face, the female protagonist is barely performing, which can be regarded as passing, and the surprise of seeing the male protagonist in the eyes of the female protagonist in the last scene, thinking of the regret that she has been married, and the joy of the male protagonist's success is expressed.

But this is the highlight of the whole film, Wu Xuan suddenly missed the "Mechanical Shark" he just saw, although the plot is bland, but the special effects are really great, at least it won't make people sleepy.

"Hey, ahh

Zhang Qiang opened his eyes and woke up Cheng Ran, who was asleep on the side.

"This movie is suitable for insomnia. ”

Cheng Ran stood up in a daze and looked at most of the sleeping movie theater and complained.

I can't describe this movie if it's really bad!

"Alright, our movie is about to start, hurry up!"

"Niang Xipi wasted hundreds of dollars on Lao Tzu!"

The fat man scolded and dragged Cheng Ran towards the exhibition hall of his movie.

...............

The headquarters of Yujia Film and Television Company.

"Are the premiere results out!"

Cai Dongming, who was staring at the point, looked at Sister Fen nervously.

Tonight, he has been staying in the company and staring at the data, this movie has invested 30 million, plus the follow-up of follow-up resources, the box office of this movie will not be maintained until at least 70 million.

As the leading actor of the movie, Cai Dongming is the director and investor who are most concerned about the box office of the movie, which is related to his future.

Sister Fen sat in front of the computer and counted the statistics one by one, and it took more than half an hour for Sister Fen to count the box office of the premiere.

"The premiere box office is currently about 12 million, and it currently ranks second in terms of data, and the first is Hollywood's "Mechanical Shark". ”

"Great!"

"Is there any data for Chencheng and Wang Yang?"

"The premiere of the two of them is chosen tomorrow, and it will not be determined until tomorrow, but compared with the current box office and previous years, there are basically the top three. ”

Sister Fen was also relieved when she saw the data, after all, Cai Dongming was the artist she was responsible for contacting, and if his grades were outstanding, his performance bonuses and so on could keep up.

"Okay, Sister Fen, you prepare a copy, tomorrow I'm going to Weihu to canvass for votes, I can't let Chencheng and Wang Yang catch up!"

The explosive results of the box office on the first day made Cai Dongming's heart that had been hanging in mid-air slowly relaxed, this result is enough to match his identity, although the box office will decline slightly in the next few days, but according to the data of previous years, it should not be a big problem for his movie to break 100 million at the final box office, but the specific hundreds of millions will not be determined until the end.

"But our movie score seems to be a bit low......"

After looking at the ratings of major websites and professional reviewers, Sister Fen said with some uncertainty.

"How many points?"

"At present, the public score is 8.2 points, and Douban only has 7.1 points, should you ...... it?"

Sister Fen was about to say whether she wanted to invite a professional team to pull the movie score, but Zhang Qiang said with great confidence.

"No, it's just the beginning, and tomorrow there will be more people waiting to see it, and the score will naturally go up." ”

Sister Fen looked at Zhang Qiang's excited look and didn't continue to persuade her, although the current public rating is barely passing, but the most professional rating website in China only gives seven points and one point, this is still because the heroine's acting skills are online, if you don't ask someone to pull the movie score, I know what the score will fall tomorrow.

...............

Huge manor house in the West.

Li Qiuxue and her sister Li Mengmeng sat under the artificial garden, blowing the wind and drinking afternoon tea.

"Sister, is the time up, I think it's almost time. ”

Li Mengmeng held up the pink watch on her wrist to Li Qiuxue to signal that she could play the movie.

Li Qiuxue looked at Li Mengmeng and shook her head without speaking.

If it weren't for her mother asking her to come to the West to see her, the current Li Qiuxue would be looking forward to the premiere with Cheng Ran.

"Oh, the difference is not so big, we can share the movie with Cheng Ran's fans in advance after watching it for a while!"

Li Mengmeng saw that her sister must wait for the release of Cheng Ran's movie in Huaxia time before she was willing to play it, and begged unrelentingly.

"Ding... Bite... Ding..."

During the conversation between the two sisters, the prelude to "To Alice" sounded, Li Qiuxue turned off the scheduled alarm clock, rang the bell on the table, and the maid standing not far away walked over, and Li Qiuxue commanded in proficient English.

"Prepare to play the video, remember to remind my father and mother, and my brother. ”

"Okay second miss. ”

The servant bowed and slowly withdrew.

"Can you put it?"

Li Mengmeng on the side hurriedly asked when she heard this.

Li Qiuxue glanced at the little girl, her eyelids drooped slightly, nodded, looked at the far east, and thought silently in her heart.

"You should be watching it at this time. ”
