On the evening of July 8, at the entrance of Lumière International Cinema, there was a surging crowd.

A vacant space in front of the theater was temporarily installed with high-powered searchlights, and the beams of light shot into the sky, illuminating the crowd as if it were daytime. The red carpet has been laid out in advance, and there are sporadic media in place, chatting with each other and discussing the latest news, while in the free area, the audience is in groups of three or five, knowing or not knowing, can chat a few sentences, and some people are holding up homemade cards with the words "asking for votes" written on them.

Ye Lin finally squeezed out of the crowd and found a slightly more relaxed space, so that she could finally catch her breath. She glanced around and smiled, "I didn't expect there to be so many people." ”

Beside her was a man who looked to be twenty-six or seventeen years old, with an ordinary appearance, and a few pimples on his face standing unruly, highlighting his sense of existence.

The man looked around, his expression a little surprised.

"I don't know, I still think this is the premiere of "Myth", Duane is so popular in your Nanyang?"

Ye Lin shook her head and said: "No, it's only now that it's so popular, you haven't come to see the premiere of "Pretty Woman in the Wind and Moon" before, it's miserable, and everyone at the premiere is not satisfied." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Lin suddenly laughed.

Witnessing the director from last year's premiere to the surging crowds on the red carpet at this year's premiere, she was inexplicably honored as a bystander who followed all the way, especially the warm atmosphere of the scene shocked this friend who came from Beijin, and she was even more proud as a Nanyang person.

The man with pimples on her face next to her is named Pan Xiaoyu, a native of Beijin. The two met on the Internet, both are soybean oil from Douban, and they are both movie lovers and Douban film critics, and they are in a common group, this time "Myth" and "Terminator" were released at the same time, and the people in their group discussed which movie to watch first.

Two-thirds of them chose to watch "Myth" first, after all, it is still very exciting for Tang Jili and Cheng Long's classic combination to cooperate again. And because of Duane's relationship, Ye Lin naturally chose "The Terminator", and this Pan Xiaoyu also chose "The Terminator", and traveled thousands of miles from Beijin to Nanyang to attend the premiere of "The Terminator". Ye Lin somewhat understood the meaning of this, and Pan Xiaoyu was a little interesting to her.

This time, Pan Xiaoyu came to the premiere of "Terminator" in Nanyang City, partly because it is literal, but also for a larger part, it should be that he wants to find an opportunity to have more contact with her to see if there can be further development.

However, Ye Lin is not averse to this. After all, she is not young anymore, and she still has a good impression of Pan Xiaoyu.

After listening to Ye Lin's words, Pan Xiaoyu couldn't help asking: ""Pretty Woman"? That's still last year's film, in just one year, there has been such a big change in popularity?"

From the premiere when everyone was dissatisfied, to the red carpet scene of the premiere, and even many people holding signs and begging for tickets, this is not a small change, and many directors may not be able to complete such a change in their lifetime.

"It's not that you don't know that "Pretty Woman" is so successful. "One Flew Over the Asylum", which was just released not long ago, also received rave reviews, and it was all accumulated little by little. ”

Pan Xiaoyu nodded, looking at the look in his eyes still incomprehensible: Also, he is from Beijin, not from Nanyang, so naturally he doesn't understand how popular Du An is in Nanyang.

For those of them who are foreigners, knowing the name Duane began with "Chainsaw", and then heard a little, and then "Pretty Woman", knowing that there is such a youngest director of two billion. But that's all, I really started to get to know Duane, or I couldn't help it in "One Flew Over the Asylum", and the national media received rave reviews. also officially defeated the big director Xu Ke at the box office, and he was out if he didn't know about it anymore.

However, in Pan Xiaoyu's opinion, even if Du An does this, he is only a talented young director, and he still can't compare with a highly qualified director like Tang Jili, but judging from the situation at the premiere in Nanyang City. He is not inferior to those big directors at all, the cast of "The Terminator" He knows that Su Yun, Lin Jiaxin, Chen Kun, a newcomer and a semi-newcomer, is also a little famous, but this is a TV star after all, and it is impossible to cause such a grand occasion on the scene, so this situation on the scene can only be caused by the director Du An.

"But now this situation is really a bit unexpected to me,"

Ye Lin said, looking around, "It probably has something to do with the pervasive alternative propaganda methods before." ”

Speaking of this, Pan Xiaoyu came to his senses and said busily: "Yes, I originally planned to watch "Mythology" first, but I was made by the advertisement every day, and I could see it everywhere I went, and I tossed it for a month. Later, I found out that it was an advertisement for "The Terminator", so I wanted to see the movie first. If you want me to say, the advertising company they are looking for is really right, this is the first time I have seen this form of advertising, and it is bold enough. ”

Ye Lin shook her head, having a different opinion.

"I don't think it's the idea of the advertising agency, it's Duane's. ”

"Duane?"

Pan Xiaoyu looked at Ye Lin, his face was still gentle, but there was a trace of disdain in his tone, "I admit that the few movies he made are not bad, but if you say that he is even good at marketing, it is too exaggerated, right?"

"Not really,"

Ye Lin said something that Pan Xiaoyu didn't know, "You may not know, he does have this kind of ability, just take "Pretty Woman" as an example." When "Pretty Woman" was first released, they didn't seem to have much money at that time, and the publicity was very weak, and basically they couldn't see any news of them, but he made a bad move and asked the media to help him promote the movie, which I saw at the premiere. Later, the box office of "Pretty Woman" will be so high, in addition to the quality of the movie itself, I believe that it is inseparable from his marketing methods, after all, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. ”

Pan Xiaoyu couldn't help asking, "What kind of bad move?"

Ye Lin couldn't help laughing when she thought of that, and after laughing twice, she suppressed her laughter and said: "He accosted a girl at the premiere, and eloped with the girl on the spot, throwing our audience, the main creative members of the crew, and the media there, haha." ”

Pan Xiaoyu frowned, remembering that he seemed to have seen the media report on this matter.

"So, I suspect it's his idea again this time, after all, he's always been a person who doesn't play by the cards, and this recent advertisement, weird and novel, is exactly his style. ”

Pan Xiaoyu was a little surprised when she heard Ye Lin say this: She seems to admire the young director too much, right?

So, he couldn't help but say: "He is a director, making a good movie is the right thing, and engaging in such an evil way is not the right way after all." If he had put his mind on the film, he might have made a higher quality movie, and maybe he might have a chance to catch up with the big directors who have been famous for a long time. ”

Ye Lin stopped talking, but she didn't think much of Pan Xiaoyu's statement: Catch up with those big directors who have been famous for a long time? No, in her opinion, Du An is already a big director, his movies, "Chainsaw" and "Pretty Woman", play business to the fullest, and "One Flew Over the Asylum" artistic and commercial coexist, this is a realm that many so-called big directors can't reach?

He just has few works, he is young, he is unlucky, he was in a scandal as soon as he debuted, and he is in constant trouble, so he is in the current situation, as long as he is given enough time, he will definitely make the world believe that he is definitely not worse than any great director.

However, she also heard the vinegar in Pan Xiaoyu's words, which made her feel a little proud in her heart.

After Ye Lin didn't speak, the two were speechless for a while, and Pan Xiaoyu had no choice but to find something to say, "By the way, you have a ticket, right?" he said, pointing to the audience around him who were holding signs asking for tickets.

"Of course,"

Ye Lin sneered, and then took out two tickets from Xiao Kun's bag, "Without a ticket, I don't dare to swear that I will let you come to Nanyang directly." ”

With the feedback of market research, the ticket sales method of the premiere of "Terminator" has also changed: unlike the previous two times, only a small part of the tickets were reserved for themselves, and half of the tickets for this premiere were directly kept for themselves and not sold, and were distributed to the media, the main creators of the crew and the invitees, and only half of the tickets were sold, so unlike Duane's previous two films with premieres, this time the tickets were very tight.

And the two in Ye Lin's hand are given away for free, after all, she is also a celebrity on Douban, and she was also included in the ticket increase objects of the premiere. However, if this momentum continues, maybe after Duane makes two more movies, Ye Lin will no longer be eligible to increase votes.

As soon as Ye Lin took out the ticket, a sharp-eyed buddy next to her immediately came over, "Girl, can't you sell this ticket? I'll pay a hundred, I want it!"

Before Ye Lin could react, another person immediately came over, "Can you say a hundred?" girl, sell it to me, one hundred and fifty-one, I want it!"

When the man saw that there was a ticket grabber, he gritted his teeth and was ruthless: "Two hundred!"

The two scrambled for each other, and in the end, Ye Lin invited the two of them away, and her monthly salary was close to two thousand, which was not bad for this money.

And just in this chat, scramble, there are more and more people on the scene, the media have gone from two or three sporadic to large troops, guns and cannons have been set up, and the host of the red carpet has also been in place.

After the host talked nonsense, it was announced that the red carpet ceremony at the premiere of "Terminator" had officially begun, and the guests began to enter. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
