Chapter 418: Stalked
picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, Meng Ziyi didn't call, but just sent a voice message on WeChat, asking him to say it when he set off, but the director of the running man didn't answer, and he wasn't too sober, so he called him back first.
"Director Yao!" his voice was a little low.
"Oh, Zhou Xiao, are you sleeping?" the director heard.
"I'll take a little rest, I'm too tired these days. ”
"Understandable. Director Yao smiled: "Then what are you talking about, your movie has been released here, and the recording of the running man has also been put on the itinerary, we decided to announce the list of new members tomorrow, one per day, you come first, and the official recording will start on the nineth." ”
"Ouch, that's so thankful. Zhou Xiao hurriedly said.
"Hehe, I can't talk about it, if your movie is a big hit, we will still take advantage!"
Director Yao is very polite, but the current situation is obviously that the running man's reputation is N times greater, he announced at this time that it was actually to promote Zhou Xiao, and there was some meaning of mutual assistance, but he benefited a lot here, and he didn't dare to pick why he didn't say a few days in advance, it would be good to be able to help.
"Thank you too!"
"You will definitely be busy tomorrow, the official fair will release information at half past eight in the morning, you remember to ask the staff to respond. ”
"Okay, okay!"
Putting down the phone, Zhou Xiao sighed, how much favor does this movie owe, don't novices have a halo, why is it a debuff, people make a movie to gain fame and fortune, and they are here... Forget it, don't mention it.
After sending a message to Lin Shan to inform him of the situation, he quickly got a response.
Look at the time, half past ten, it's completely in time, the theater is near the hotel where Meng Ziyi stayed, the past half an hour is completely enough, while there is still some time, take a shower, and when I saw the cologne in the cloakroom, I unconsciously picked it up and sprayed it.
It's not very cold outside, Zhou Xiao found a hoodie, a mask is also wanted, even if the sunglasses are forgotten, it is eye-catching to wear at night, go downstairs, drive his beloved car, and set off after sending a WeChat message to Meng Ziyi!
When he arrived at the parking lot, he found that something was wrong, there was a car that seemed to have been following him, because he received a call from a big pot on the road, he drove very slowly, but the car behind him did not overtake, which aroused suspicion, and after driving into the hotel, he found that the other party also followed, and no one got out of the car for a long time.
Nine times out of ten, it's a journalist!
Zhou Xiao hurriedly picked up the phone: "Where have you been?"
"Don't rush, go downstairs immediately, wait for me!" Meng Ziyi thought that his boyfriend couldn't wait to see him, so he couldn't help but speed up the movements in his hand, girl, going out will finally be troublesome.
"No, I suspect I'm being followed by a reporter. Zhou Xiao looked in the rearview mirror and confirmed that someone was holding a camera.
"Where?"
"Hotel parking. ”
"What should I do?
Although the two are not afraid of being photographed, they will definitely have to take time to explain after filming, and Zhou Xiao will be forced to lie again, a little tired!
"Don't come down yet, I'll call Director Liu to ask if you're going out, and let Sister Hua get ready." ”
"Okay. ”
Zhou Xiao's way of correspondence is very simple, that is, to find two more people, go together, and confuse the public, I have to say that some reporters have a very sensitive sense of smell.
Fortunately, Liu Daqing hadn't set off yet, and he didn't ask much after receiving the call, saying OK, come down immediately, Zhou Xiao didn't stop, and called the theater manager who took the children last time.
"Oh, hello Director Zhou, I'm very supportive of you, the premiere of "Exercise" in the two halls in the evening. The manager's voice was full of joy, and he didn't expect Zhou Xiao to call at all.
"Yes, thank you so much, then I'm going to help with tomorrow's film schedule. Zhou Xiao said with a smile.
"Don't worry, the first day, 25%, it's okay. ”
"Thank you, thank you!"
Zhou Xiao actually said that like a chain theater, the film schedule has to be negotiated, basically the theater chain is given about 20, which is in line with the general positioning of the film, as for whether it can rise in the later stage, it depends on the box office.
"That's right. He was about to say it, when he saw Liu Daqing coming down not far away, looking left and right: "Mr. Chen, wait for me a little." ”
"Okay!"
Zhou Xiao opened the door directly, pretended not to notice the reporter behind him, and beckoned: "Director Liu, where is it!"
Liu Daqing raised his head and smiled and beckoned over.
"Get in the car. ”
"You call Ziyi and ask them to come downstairs. ”
"Okay. As an old bird in the circle, knowing that he shouldn't ask, Liu Daqing took out his mobile phone.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, there are four of us here, I want to see the reaction of the audience at the premiere, you..."
"Welcome!" Mr. Chen raised his voice: "However, the attendance rate of the two halls is quite high, and only the first three rows are in a row." ”
"Okay, no problem. Zhou Xiao was happy, the first three rows, that means that the attendance rate is more than 50%, as a midnight game, that is a very, very good result.
"Then call me when you arrive, I'll pick you up!"
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Chen. ”
"Why. ”
Seeing that Zhou Xiao had ended the call, Liu Daqing poked his head: "They will come down immediately!"
"Well, there's a reporter in the back, and I don't want to cause extra trouble, so I'll let you go along. Zhou Xiao explained.
"Yo!" Liu Daqing turned his head to look at it, but he didn't find it, but he didn't suspect it: "If the reporter is not very professional, he will be discovered." ”
"It happened to come. ”
The two chatted for a while, and when the person arrived, Zhou Xiao continued to get out of the car to greet him generously, and Meng Ziyi must have also told Sister Hua, and both sides greeted politely and got into the car.
It is estimated that the reporter at the back must be unhappy, it is rare to see the star leave his agent in the middle of the night and go to the hotel, but he didn't expect to pick up so many people, and he couldn't make up the news if he wanted to.
Temporarily changed the destination, the journey was extended by fifteen minutes, but it didn't matter much, it would have been a long time since the traffic jam, and the four of them never talked about the reporter's tracking, there was nothing to discuss, Liu Daqing was very interesting, only talking about business topics.
As soon as I got off the car at the place, I saw Mr. Chen greet him, and several people were happily saying hello, when two men suddenly came to the side.
"Hello Director Zhou, hello Miss Meng Ziyi, we are reporters from XX Daily. ”
Zhou Xiao was stunned, he was really shocked, but the reason was different from what the reporters thought, what they thought was that they didn't expect someone to follow, but in fact, they didn't expect it to come out, it seems that they gave up and didn't think about love.
The two directors and actresses followed, and the agent followed, which is too normal.
"Oh, hello!" Zhou Xiao nodded: "This is..."
"It just so happened that we were coming to see a movie. The two of them also lied casually: "I just saw it and thought I recognized the wrong person." ”
"That's right. Zhou Xiao smiled: "Did you buy the ticket? If you didn't buy it, it just so happened that the manager of the theater was here, let him help arrange it, does Mr. Chen still have a ticket?"
"Yes, yes, you two will come with me. "Although Mr. Chen doesn't know what the situation is, it's always right to follow Zhou Xiao's words.
Meng Ziyi was snickering in his heart, he did a good job, and the box office was increased by 100 yuan.
The two reporters did not change their faces: "Then it will be troublesome to Mr. Chen, can Director Zhou answer a question simply?"
Zhou Xiao looked at the time, there were still ten minutes, so he nodded: "Okay." ”
The reporter is overjoyed, this hundred flowers are not lost, and you can even have a couple package to let the company reimburse.
"Are you here to see the premiere?"
"That's right!" Zhou Xiao glanced at Meng Ziyi and them: "After all, it is the first director, I am nervous, and I want to be a little low, so I called them together." ”
"What are the box office expectations for the midnight show?"
"I want to break 100 million, but it's impossible, I can only say that the more the better, and I'm very satisfied with 5 million. ”
The reporter was a little disappointed, why didn't he shout more, it was decent, there was no explosion.
"Last question, do you and Miss Meng Ziyi have any plans to cooperate this year?"
"Not for the time being, but maybe in the future, she is an excellent actress. Zhou Xiao looked at the time, it's okay, a hundred yuan, three questions, you earn blood.
The reporter must be unsatisfied, but Ken replied that it was already super face-saving, and he was about to sneak away, but he didn't expect that Mr. Chen really pulled them in, it was really to buy tickets, and the most important thing was that it was arranged in a different hall, hey...
Zhou Xiao and the four of them didn't go to the ticket hall, they waited directly in the office for a while, and after the lights were turned off, they took the drink popcorn from the theater and quietly entered it.
The movements were all in unison, and they all looked back and watched.
The hall of two hundred people is not small, Liu Daqing counted it quietly, very happy: "Director Zhou, there are almost one hundred and ten people, and the other one is a little less, about ninety, which is very good." ”
Zhou Xiao is also beautiful, a smile appeared on his face, Jinling is a home game, although a theater does not represent anything, but it must be happy to watch.
"Wow, if only that were the case all over the country. Mencius could not hide his joy.
"It's too difficult!" Zhou Xiao shook his head: "Forget it, don't worry about this for now, watch a movie." ”
The dragon logo has appeared on the big screen, but fortunately it is not 3D, otherwise it looks a little tired if you don't sit in such a front position.
The whole theater gradually became quiet.
The relaxing music sounded, the pictures of several cities flashed by, and the camera immediately showed the protagonist Rigor Rigor wearing big shorts and short sleeves on the balcony at home, and then in a flash, he was wearing a straight suit and holding a briefcase on the way to work.
meticulous costume, threw the water bottle on the ground to the trash can, and didn't forget to help him straighten it when he saw the bank security guard's hat crooked, a long shot of 53 seconds.
Zhou Xiao looked at the audience and sighed a little in his heart, he didn't know if anyone could see his intentions.
The three small actions, coupled with the following discussion with the president, have paved the personality of the protagonist, that is, rigor, and in the long shot, all the main characters and the business in charge are explained simply and straightforwardly.
This was the beginning of the decision he had decided after discussing with Liu Daqing for a long time, and from a personal point of view, he was very satisfied.
The rhythm is very fast, it took more than three minutes to introduce the character design, the working environment, and another minute to explain why the drill was done, interspersed with a stalk, a little outdated, but there was still some laughter in the theater.
"It's coming!" Liu Daqing said softly.
Zhou Xiao understood.
The camera turned again, and when he arrived at home, Zhang Yu was holding the rice bowl, eating very sweetly, and his face was very calm: "I'm going to rob the bank!"
Parents and sister showed complicated expressions in extreme pain.
"Hahahaha!" laughed louder this time.
"A 100-yuan new banknote is 1.15 grams, 100,000 is two and a half catties, 1 million 23 catties, and 3 million is 69 catties..."
Then, the laughter began to become dense,
The rigorous exploration point was reported by the enthusiastic masses and arrested into the police station, and the parents asked the police uncle to open the net.
The plainclothes played by Haichang was shot in the head, and he sacrificed when he came up, and he checked the surveillance to testify.
Hang a badge with the words "tie up", "coma", etc.,
Doing push-ups suggests qj,
Pregnant women should change their children's surnames,
...
The laughter in the theater was continuous, and almost all the laughs prepared were ignited, Meng Ziyi and the others were very happy on their faces, and even Sister Hua, who had always had opinions about him, gave him a thumbs up...
Laughter represents everything, it was originally a comedy, the audience laughed, it was already able to explain the situation, and Liu Daqing was still observing on the way, more than 100 people, it seems that only 2 of them went to the toilet, and they came back soon, and there was no such thing as leaving.
The four of them were extremely satisfied, and left early when it was about to end.
What they didn't know was that the two reporters in the next room had completely forgotten about their plans to intercept a few more people and threw themselves into the movie.
"It's not bad, I think, it's really funny. ”
"Oops, this is the most relaxing hour I've had in this month. ”
"Why don't you write a movie review tomorrow and recommend it. ”
"Okay, talk to the editor-in-chief, and add it to the end of the interview. ”
"Great idea!"
