Chapter 26: Screenings

【Ding Dong!Congratulations to the host for breaking 1,000,000!A mid-level gift package is presented!】

Rumble!

As the months passed, the familiar feeling came back again.

Intermediate directing skills?

It's a lucky day!

Before Xu Lei was happy, the voice of the system god sounded again.

System upgrade, countdown: 71:59:59]

The blue screen flashed.

As a writer, as a businessman, as a publisher of novels, and how did the profession not change?

In a trance, Xu Lei guessed that whether it is identity, occupation, or other, it needs to be recognized in a certain reality before it will change, just like the novel "Immortal" has already ended on the Chinese network, and when the publishing house prints the physical book and distributes it.

Maybe that's it!

If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't dwell too much.

turned around, and began to discuss with Liu Xiaofei about the release of the movie "Crazy Stone".

Xu Lei means that since he himself has been on the hot search, it is good to hand over the distribution directly to Wang Fei. However, Liu Xiaofei suggested: "Mr. Xu, Longyou Venture Capital is a cooperative relationship with us after all, and the box office performance of a movie is not a big deal for them, but for our company, it is the key to whether we can gain a foothold quickly." ”

After a pause, and after Xu Lei digested his meaning, Liu Xiaofei continued: "The popularity is there, and the reputation of the movie "Crazy Stone" has also gone out. In addition, the quality of this film is very good, so we might as well implement the screening before the release. If we can have professional film critics praise it, it will be more beneficial to us. ”

"Screening?" Hearing this, Rao Yi couldn't help but be surprised by Xu Lei's confidence.

At present, the vast majority of films are used for Friday night premieres. Set the stage for the next weekend's box office explosion.

As for the screening of this kind of theater in some places a week in advance, it still needs enough confidence and appeal to dare to act like this. Otherwise, once the reputation is not good, then the premiere will not meet expectations, and it will make the tragic ending of being forced to be drawn by the theater after not being released for five days.

As a last resort, no director, even an investor, dares to act like this!

It's a big heart!

Just when Xu Lei weighed the pros and cons, Liu Xiaofei said a few words lightly: "Mr. Xu, the publicity we did before was dominated by the dream of a dragon actor. If it were to be screened as it would normally be at the premiere, it would be nothing new. Even if the screening effect is not good, it will not be bad, who made you on the hot search!"

Yes!

As soon as Liu Xiaofei reminded him, Xu Lei came back to his senses. The movie "Crazy Stone" is not only the first film invested and shot by their company, but also mixed with a large number of dragon sets and group performances! This is an "inspirational comedy" that belongs to the dream.

It's all about being different!

Clenched his fists, Xu Lei nodded and responded: "Just do as you say!"

"Then thank you, Mr. Xu!" Liu Xiaofei laughed.

……

November 11th.

"Crazy Stone" opened screenings in Hangzhou and the magic capital.

In a cinema in Hangzhou, when Xu Lei and the others arrived here, a large number of reporters flocked to the city with long guns and short cannons, and the flash "bang" shooting did not stop.

Finally standing on the high platform arranged by the organizer, a short-haired female reporter hurriedly spoke: "Hello Xu Lei, I am Zhao Min, a reporter from the Kyoto Times, what kind of idea do you have to suddenly attack the scene of the Sound of Music program?"

Xu Lei, who was in a good mood, frowned immediately when he heard this, but now he is no longer the young man who just came out of his hometown to pursue his dreams, so he will not be at a loss. The experience of half a year has become much more mature and stable.

Staring sideways at the reporter, Xu Lei said sarcastically: "Kyoto Times, right? No wonder the performance of your newspaper is getting worse and worse, if it is all at your level, it will be a matter of time before it goes out of business." ”

Without waiting for the other party to speak again, he continued: "What is a journalist? What is a report? The most important thing is to tell the truth to the masses, and it is even more necessary to know the timeliness. What did you just ask me? The Sound of Music? Excuse me, but first of all, this is the screening of the movie "Crazy Stone". You are ignorant. Finally, prepare well for class before asking questions, the ins and outs of things can be seen everywhere on the Internet, and you are not clumsy or illiterate?"

Glancing at Zhao Min, who was blushing and angry, Xu Lei stopped looking at her, turned around and shook off: "Next!"

There was a moment of silence in the field because of his aura and tough tone.

When he reacted, he didn't pay attention to the deflated Zhao Min, but asked Xu Lei more passionately.

"Xu Lei, hello, I'm Yan Ke, a reporter from Huacheng Morning News, what is your idea, not to continue to be a singer, but to change careers to become a director?"

"Life needs challenges, I just want to try, but I didn't expect it to be successful!

"Xu Lei, hello, I'm Wu Si, a reporter from Yangcheng Express, may I ask if the leading actors of the comedy "Crazy Stone" are really all dragon group performances?"

"Wait until you go to the cinema, don't you know?"

"Xu Lei, hello, I'm Hu Mi, a reporter from Jiangdu Evening News, I want to know about you inviting this group of actors to participate, aren't you afraid of investing in waste?"

"They are all senior actors in the show, their acting skills are enough, I am honored to invite them to participate, why worry?"

"Xu Lei, hello, I'm ......"

Half an hour passed, and the interview ended. Under the guidance of the organizers, everyone entered the theater to watch.

Walking on the road, Liu Xiaofei, who followed over, whispered: "Mr. Xu, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to cope with it, but I didn't expect you to be outstanding!"

"Sycophant!" Qi Jian pouted.

Cao Bo on the side pulled him, and also glanced at Liu Xiaofei with a displeased expression. Before coming over, everyone discussed that if a reporter made it difficult, let Liu Xiaofei, an "insider", deal with it, but unfortunately, it backfired. Instead, it became Xu Lei's solo show.

As a director, this is Xu Lei's job, but after all, he is new to the city and can't take the overall situation into account. It is inevitable to let Liu Xiaofei make plans and stop those who "have ghost plans" at any time. Who would have expected that the other party would be indifferent.

Hearing Qi Jian's cynicism, Xu Lei also glanced at Liu Xiaofei deeply, and said indifferently: "We are a whole. Fortunately, nothing major happened, and it was a safe passage for the time being. You know, I don't want that to happen again, even if you're very capable. ”

"Understood, Mr. Xu!" Liu Xiaofei's anxious heart finally calmed down a lot.

His idea is just to see if Xu Lei can cope with such a big scene, in case he can't do it, that's when his ability is reflected, and saving the scene will be of great value!

It's a pity that Xu Lei is not the top executive of one of those big entertainment companies, and what he values is limited to people who do practical things seriously. Conspiracy, stealing and cheating, good at studying, disdainful of it. This is true even if the future of the company is difficult.
