Because of the rush of time, Lin Xiaoguang hardly went on any variety show to promote the movie "People in Embarrassment".

Therefore, before the release of the movie, Lin Xiaoguang was worried that only a very small number of entertainment reporters would come to the premiere to cover the scene.

However, Lin Xiaoguang still forgot one thing.

The investor, Guangguang Media, may not understand movies, but they have a large number of media people under their hands and know how to promote and market very well.

6 p.m.

The media reporters in front of the red carpet have been waiting for a long time, and there are many fans who come to the scene, mainly women, most of them come to see Lin Xiaoguang, some come to see Huang Baoqiang, and a very small number come to see Xu Zheng.

Participating in the premiere this time, Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng came to the scene in the same business car.

The number of reporters present today completely exceeded Lin Xiaoguang's expectations, he originally thought that it would be good to have a few media present today, but he did not expect that so many media would come to the scene to cheer for the premiere of "People in Embarrassment".

"Old Xu, what's the situation? Where did you invite so many reporters? It cost a lot of money, right?" Lin Xiaoguang sat in the car and asked Xu Zheng next to him curiously.

Xu Zheng was also surprised, looking at the crowded crowd outside the car window and muttering: "No, how can I have this ability and I haven't invited so many reporters, I guess they are all here for the face of Mr. Wang." ”

Lin Xiaoguang pondered for a while, and also agreed with Xu Zheng's speculation, Wang Changtian of Light Media himself was optimistic about the script of "People in Embarrassment", and he liked it even more after watching the finished film a few days ago, and predicted on the spot that the box office of the film could exceed 30 million, no wonder there would be such a big battle today.

Of course, since it was the premiere, and the red carpet was rolled out outside, in addition to the main creators of "People in Embarrassment", Guangguang Media also invited some stars and hosts to attend the premiere.

After getting out of the car, according to the process of the red carpet show, Lin Xiaoguang and Zuo Xiaoqing appeared in a finale, Xu Zheng and his wife Tao Hong walked hand in hand, and Huang Baoqiang was in a group with Li Xiaolu.

Li Xiaolu has complaints about such an arrangement, although she doesn't hate Huang Baoqiang, but she feels that Huang Baoqiang is not qualified to walk the red carpet with her, it is too embarrassing, and their appearance does not match at all.

Moreover, the origins of the two are also different, in Li Xiaolu's opinion, she herself is the princess of Xiaolu who grew up with a golden key, Huang Baoqiang is red now, but he is at best a chicken turned into a phoenix.

But there is no way, the entire crew of "People in Embarrassment", there are only a few famous actors, Xu Zheng and Taohong are famous couples in the circle, Lin Xiaoguang and Zuo Xiaoqing are golden boys and girls standing together, Huang Baoqiang must have a female partner, plus Li Xiaolu himself is also petite, standing next to Huang Baoqiang, who is also short, the two of them don't see much disobedience.

Lin Xiaoguang and Zuo Xiaoqing appeared in the finale, and sharp-eyed media reporters recognized Zuo Xiaoqing next to Lin Xiaoguang.

Without thinking too much, every reporter kept pressing the camera shutter in his hand.

At this time, Lin Xiaoguang stretched out his hand to Zuo Xiaoqing beside him, Zuo Xiaoguang handed his hand to Lin Xiaoguang shyly, and was led by Lin Xiaoguang to the red carpet.

As soon as Zuo Xiaoqing appeared on the stage, his perfect makeup and tall and graceful figure attracted the attention of media reporters.

It is undeniable that today's Zuo Xiaoqing is really beautiful, she has a temperament that is different from all female stars, from head to toe, with a smile and a smile, with a charm that should have been in the sky.

Subsequently, Zuo Xiaoqing gently held Lin Xiaoguang's arm and walked side by side with him on the red carpet, although it was Zuo Xiaoqing holding Lin Xiaoguang, the distance between the two was kept just right, neither too intimate nor too rusty.

After walking the red carpet, Lin Xiaoguang and Zuo Xiaoqing began to be interviewed by the media.

Due to the presence of too many media, this kind of interview scene is often very chaotic, reporters are afraid of missing the opportunity to ask questions, so they all chatter non-stop, Lin Xiaoguang can only rely on his ears to try to identify everyone's questions, and then choose what he wants to answer to answer.

"Director Lin, what do you think of this movie directed by you?"

In other words, Lin Xiaoguang still likes to be called Director Lin in his heart, and he feels that the grade has come up all of a sudden, which is very wonderful.

Zuo Xiaoqing, like the other reporters present, looked at Lin Xiaoguang beside him with a smile, a little curious about his answer.

"If the full score is 10 points, then I give "People in Embarrassment" 8.5 points, after all, it is my first time making a movie, and my first work will definitely have flaws and shortcomings. ”

Lin Xiaoguang replied very seriously, but in fact, he didn't think so in his heart.

Because, in Lin Xiaoguang's heart, the original version of "People in Embarrassment" scored 8.2 points, so Lin Xiaoguang's own "People in Embarrassment" directed by himself was about 7.5 points.

Lin Xiaoguang doesn't think that he has surpassed the original version, so he can shoot it okay, at least when he watches it himself, he will still laugh.

"What do you think are the advantages of your movie compared to ordinary domestic comedy movies?"

"To be honest, this is a more down-to-earth comedy movie, telling the story that happened during the Spring Festival that our people are more familiar with, in the past two years, many movies like copycats or cottages, but I don't want to make this movie very copycats and spoofs, I just want everyone to be able to see a pure funny movie, that's all. Moreover, I don't want to disappoint everyone too much and think that it is still the same hip-hop stuff. ”

"It's the same comedy, do you have the confidence to surpass Crazy Stone?"

"Two comedies with different styles, there is no way to compare, I also participated in the investment and performance of "Crazy Stone", the palms and backs of my hands are all meat, forget it, how is the movie, or give it to the audience for evaluation, no matter how much you say, it can't compare to the audience's perception!"

……

After asking a few questions in a row, a reporter finally asked Zuo Xiaoqing a question.

"Hello Xiaoqing, what do you think is more impressive about this cooperation with Director Lin?"

Lin Xiaoguang handed her the microphone, Zuo Xiaoqing thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "There are many places that impress me, maybe I was relatively short when I joined the group, but I know that Director Xiaoguang is very talented, and he is also very attentive and serious in the crew." ”

"Then Director Lin, can you comment on Ms. Zuo Xiaoqing's acting skills?"

Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Lin Xiaoguang expectantly.

Lin Xiaoguang was thinking about this very seriously, and said: "Xiaoqing is a very malleable actress, as long as she appears in the movie, even if she doesn't speak, it will be a beautiful scenery, not to mention, she is very hard working and dedicated in private......"

"So how much do you think this final movie will box office?"

Generally, when encountering this kind of problem, you have to blow it as big as possible, "what punches to seal the small cylinder", "what to cut the "assembly number" is not a problem", "100 million is not a little, one billion is not too much".

After all, the movie has been released, and as the main creator, you don't have confidence, how can you let the audience have confidence in you?

After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoguang said: "Of course, I hope that the higher the box office, the better, but as a director, you should first help investors make money, at least you must ensure that you don't lose money!"

"Do you have a specific forecast?"

Lin Xiaoguang pondered for a moment, and said: "Then 30 million, I invested more than 10 million to make this movie, and 30 million just paid off." ”

After returning to the backstage, Xu Zheng heard Zuo Xiaoqing say that Lin Xiaoguang predicted that the total box office of "People in Embarrassment" would be 30 million, so he joked at him: "Director Lin Da, didn't you blow a box office guarantee of 50 million with me last night? Why did you become humble as soon as you were interviewed?"

"Aren't I afraid of being slapped in the face?" Lin Xiaoguang said helplessly.

To be honest, regarding things like the box office, Lin Xiaoguang really has no confidence.

In Lin Xiaoguang's view, although the script of "People in Embarrassment" is a good script and the actors' performances are also in place, the box office is too illusory.

Not to mention the fledgling Lin Xiaoguang, it is the big director Feng Xiaowan, when "Assembly Number" was released nationwide before, he was always careful, and there was no way to remain calm.
