Chapter 13: The premiere day of the dragon set
On June 16th, the test screening day of "Playing the Wild", Xu Ziming received a call from Fa Ge in the morning saying that it would be held on the Li Stage, Xu Ziming was afraid that there would be a mistake, so he asked Fang Yihua again, and after confirming that it was correct, Xu Ziming drove over alone.
In order to reduce the exposure of the media, he did not follow Wang Jin and others to enter the venue with great fanfare, but found a seat alone and sat down casually.
The opening scene of the movie is still the Shaw Brothers signature word "SB", which is the English abbreviation of Shaw Brothers Film Company, in fact, in addition to Shaw Brothers Company, Shaw Brothers also opened Shaw Brothers & Sons Film Company, its English abbreviation "SS".
"This brother, the movie hasn't started yet, what are you laughing at?" The voice came from the left, Xu Ziming turned his head slightly, and saw a young man with a high nose looking at him with a smile.
Xu Ziming was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You are the handsome Zheng Shaoqiu!" Zheng Shaoqiu smiled around, and gestured to Wang Xu Ziming, and watched the movie intently.
Xu Ziming didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, leaned slightly to the right, and whispered: "Hello Xiangshuai, my name is Xu Ziming, and I also participated in this movie." ”
Zheng Shaoqiu didn't want to be swaggering, he had just finished filming a TV series, he just came in to relax, smiled politely at Xu Ziming, and looked at the screen in front of him intently.
Seeing that the idol in his mind was so calm, Xu Ziming didn't want to annoy people, so he turned his head to stare at the screen.
"Ziming, why are you sitting with Shaoqiu", Fang Yihua and Shao Yifu just entered the Li Stage Theater, and saw Xu Ziming and Zheng Shaoqiu sitting side by side.
"Aunt Fang and Sixth Uncle are also here", Xu Ziming stood up in surprise and said. Zheng Shaoqiu, who was on the side, also stood up and respectfully saluted, "Sixth uncle, Miss Fang is good." ”
For the greeting of the two, Shao Yifu nodded politely, and didn't say anything, just glanced at Xu Ziming meaningfully, and walked over to the designated position in the front row with Fang Yihua under the traction of the theater staff.
Zheng Shaoqiu, who didn't pay much attention to Xu Ziming, noticed a different atmosphere from Xu Ziming and Fang Yihua's brief greetings.
"Mr. Xu, you seem to be quite familiar with Miss Fang and Sixth Uncle", Zheng Shaoqiu asked very politely.
"There's nothing unfamiliar, it's just that I dragged Aunt Fang's relationship to be able to participate in today's movie, in short, Aunt Fang and my aunt have a good relationship. ”
Xu Ziming didn't explain too much, although Xu Ziming's words were a bit far-fetched, but Zheng Shaoqiu, who has always been honest and loyal, didn't suspect anything, and then began to watch the premiere seriously.
Looking at Zheng Shaoqiu, who turned back to watch the movie, Xu Ziming didn't want to chat with Zheng Shaoqiu rashly, and his eyes involuntarily glanced back.
found that the back row a few rows away from him was really good to sit Miao Qianren, Xu Ziming was also bored, got up and sat down in the vacant seat next to Miao Qian.
"Sister Qian, you're still sulking, be careful of the wrinkles on your pretty face", Xu Ziming laughed when he saw Miao Qianren's surprised eyes with a bit of resentment.
"Ziming, why did you think of sitting next to me", Miao Qianren stared at Xu Ziming blankly and said.
"Sister Qian, beautiful and beautiful women are always the most likable, and I, as a younger brother, should also care about you as a beautiful sister", although Xu Ziming's words were a little ambiguous, but since that night, Miao Qianren knew that Xu Ziming really regarded herself as a sister, and her heart was low but she had to pretend to be happy.
"Ziming, you are really a good brother, you can only say some rhetoric. ”
Xu Ziming was stuck by Miao Qianren's abruptly changed "rhetoric", and it was difficult to speak again, so he pointed to the movie screen, "Sister Qian, look at your expression."
In the movie, Cheng Dongdong, played by Miao Qianren, is doing hard heavy work, and he does have an optimistic expression with a smirk, "Sister Qian, I didn't expect you to be so tired, and you can be so optimistic", Xu Ziming laughed at Miao Qianren.
"Let you laugh, let you ......", Miao Qianren also opened her heart, picked up her backpack and smashed it on Xu Ziming from time to time, but the strength was not great, Xu Ziming only begged for mercy.
"Ziming, isn't that you", the camera of the movie turned and switched to Xu Ziming and his party of the company's employees, but I didn't expect the camera to come to a close-up, the complaining expression on Xu Ziming's face was depicted in detail, although it was only a few seconds, but it was still discovered by the thin-eyed Miao Qianren.
Shao Yifu naturally knows very well that this close-up of just a few seconds was edited by the post-processing staff by himself, on the one hand, to let Xu Ziming's image better reflect Cheng Dongdong's optimistic spirit, and secondly, to better facilitate Shao Yifu to figure out the acting skills of rich children.
"Sixth brother, the acting of Ziming in that scene just now seems to be quite upside-down", Fang Yihua turned his head sideways and said to Shao Yifu on the side.
"Well, I didn't expect people in wealthy families to put down their bodies like this and play a trick. Shao Yifu acquiesced to Xu Ziming's behavior.
"It's just that I don't know if the box office this time can be improved compared to the previous ones", Shao Yifu muttered to himself, but he was still heard by Wang Tianlin on the side.
"Sixth brother, I heard that the quasi-release of Golden Harvest is "Killer Trench" that was released in the United States not long ago, but I heard that the box office of "Killer Trench" in the United States is very average, and the box office of Hong Kong Benfu must not be high", Wang Tianlin interjected.
"Oh, if you say that, this year's summer Golden Harvest film can't be as usual", hearing the news, Shao Yifu was happy.
Who would have thought that Zou Wenhuai, who was the veteran of Shaw Brothers Pictures, would join forces with He Guanchang and Liang Feng to become a family because of his opposition to Fang Yihua's transfer of the core of the film industry to TV production.
Wang Tianlin threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and continued: "Sixth brother, when will the sequel to Shanghai Tang start filming, and now the unlimited ratings have declined a little bit since the broadcast of Shanghai Tang." Wang Tianlin's face was worried.
"Tianlin, don't be in a hurry for the sequel, Ahua will find a way to increase the ratings, you can shoot an excellent TV series and take over the file, after all, if it is Shanghai Beach again, the response will not be as big as before. Shao Yifu took a long-term view and encouraged Wang Tianlin.
"Brother Sixth is right, Director Fang's arrangements will be in place", Wang Tianlin nodded knowingly and said. Fang Yihua, who was next to Shao Yifu's voice, also nodded towards Wang Tianlin.
