Chapter 68: Sixty-Eight, I'll Invite You to Watch a Movie
Time passed day by day, and in the next few days, in addition to running movie promotion, Le Mingxiao had to continue to be busy preparing for the album, and because he was too busy, he hadn't gone to the CCTV class for a long time, but he still invited the teacher to conduct targeted training, just for the professional exam of CCTV at the beginning of next year, fortunately, he has a good foundation, and he doesn't have to be too anxious.
The weather in the capital is getting cooler and cooler, and when you have to put on a jacket when you go out, the day of the movie is getting closer and closer. On October 20, the movie "Palm and Back of Hand" was officially released, and three days before the release, that is, on October 17, the crew specially held a premiere.
The company attaches great importance to this movie, Yan Duo, as the producer, attended the premiere in person, and another producer, AXA Pictures' Xiaokai An Shaolang naturally will not miss this excitement, in addition to the main creative team, there are many stars who come to help, and the red carpet is star-studded, and the battle is no less than a film awards ceremony.
Before the official release of the movie, the crew has carried out a full range of publicity for the movie, such as advertising in various outdoor media, such as patches in movie theaters, posters and even the promotion of movie songs, etc., and several leading actors are naturally indispensable to record variety shows or accept interviews, as well as shoot magazines, etc., to promote the movie.
There was also a part of watching the film at the premiere, in addition, before that, the crew also organized an internal viewing meeting, and conducted a number of early screenings in major cities, the outside response to the film has been good, and the crew has reason to believe that after the official release of the movie, there will be a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth.
At the premiere ceremony, in addition to introducing the film, interspersed with a few clips, all the main creators were interviewed one by one. Yan Duo, as a producer, when talking about the movie, told everyone that the reason why he made this movie was not only because he liked the director's talent, but also because the story of the film itself was good enough, and he hoped that this story could bring the audience a kind of warmth and understanding, and he promised in front of the media and guests that no matter how much box office the film can receive, he will use half of the proceeds to set up a foundation, the main purpose is to help those deaf and mute children.
At the premiere, director Ji Chi shared the story behind the creation of the film for the first time. He once mentioned that the movie was based on a true story, but it turned out that the story happened to him. The prototype of the elder brother Tianxu in the movie is him, he also has a younger brother, the younger brother was damaged because of a high fever when he was young, and his intelligence was lower than that of ordinary people, and then there was an accident in the family, and the two were adopted by different families, but they were not as lucky as in the movie, since they separated, the director has never seen his younger brother again. The reason why such a movie was made was to commemorate, and secondly, it was also to place his hopes in it.
The director has a cold and hard appearance, and he has never been smiling, no one would have imagined that he would have such a sad past, let alone that he has an unusually soft heart under his cold appearance. This story caused many people to shed tears at the scene, and everyone in the crew also understood why the director put so much effort into the filming process, especially for Le Mingxiao, who played the role of his younger brother, was extremely strict.
After the premiere, there was also a celebration reception. At the cocktail party, Le Mingxiao basically followed Qi Yao, in this public place, he couldn't stick to Yan Duo, so he naturally walked with the closest people.
After a round of drinking, the two found a relatively clean corner, chatted with each other, and when talking about the charity projects mentioned by Yan Duo, Le Mingxiao once again mentioned that they wanted to cooperate with the crew to do public welfare in the name of their table tennis club.
Qi Yao said that he was a little helpless, the last time he heard Le Mingxiao put forward this idea, they were still filming in the crew, and now more than three months have passed, he originally thought that Le Mingxiao had forgotten about this stubble, but he didn't expect him to mention it again today, Yan Duo had to say that this child's obsession is really deep enough.
Just when Qi Yao was struggling, An Shaolang, who was hanging over, heard the conversation between the two, but he didn't expect An Dashao to be very interested in this matter, so he asked to participate on the spot, and discussed with Le Mingxiao the specific matters of organizing the event, and said that he must join their club.
The whole world knows that An Dashao likes to join in the fun the most, Le Mingxiao doesn't know if he is just a whim, but with An Dashao here, there is no need to worry about any media, sponsors and the like, many problems are solved, and An Shao has a hearty personality, and it is also a very pleasant thing to make friends with such a person.
On October 20th, the movie was officially released in major theaters, because of the distribution of AXA Pictures as a guarantee, the scheduling of the film is absolutely not a problem, plus there are no too competitive movies in the same period, the box office exceeded 60 million on the day of release, which is already quite a good result for a small-cost 2D movie, and with the gradual spread of good reputation, the box office is expected to continue to grow.
After the official release of the film, the team began to promote on the ground, and for a whole week, the director led several leading actors to run non-stop between major cities, holding local meet-and-greets, interacting with the movie-watching masses, and sometimes even running to four or five theaters in a row on the same day.
The form of the film is good, and the relatively intensive publicity can also be slowed down. Le Mingxiao deliberately bought a ticket by himself, and no one brought it, so he walked into the cinema as an ordinary audience.
He deliberately chose a Wednesday morning session, but he didn't expect that there would be 50% attendance. Le Mingxiao has watched the movie no less than five times, and he is still very moved when he watches it again, and he will wipe his tears like other audiences when he sees the abuse, and as an ordinary audience watching his performance on the big screen, the sense of accomplishment is really indescribable in words.
After the film ended, Le Mingxiao walked out with the crowd, he was wearing a mask on his face, but he didn't expect to be recognized when he walked out of the door of the cinema.
The man excitedly shouted his name, so more and more people gathered around, Le Mingxiao took off his mask, smiled and greeted everyone, everyone praised him for his good performance in the movie, and some little girls kept saying that they were cute and cute than in the movie. Le Mingxiao patiently took pictures and signed autographs with everyone one by one, smiling reservedly on the surface, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.
That's the effect of the work......
The busy days can come to an end, and Le Mingxiao finally has the opportunity to appear at the same table with Yan Duo. During this time, he ran all over the world, and the whole person lost a lot of weight, Yan Duo specially made a table of dishes to comfort him, Le Mingxiao was not polite, let go of his stomach and ate a lot, until he couldn't bend down after eating, he was willing to give up.
In the evening, the two watched TV together in the living room, still occupying one end of the sofa as usual. There are actually no good programs to watch on TV, and after changing N channels, Le Mingxiao suddenly asked Yan Duo: "Brother, do you have time tomorrow night?"
"What is this for?"
"I'll invite you to watch a movie. ”
Of course, Yan Duo understood which movie Le Mingxiao was talking about, he glanced at Le Mingxiao, and said deliberately: "I have already seen it, and I have seen it more than once." ”
"Can I ask for the same?" Le Mingxiao straightened up on the sofa and raised his chin at Yan Duo, "This is the first movie I made, and there will be no such shop in this village after this village." Besides, I'm personally increasing the box office for the movie, and the big boss doesn't praise me?"
"Counting on you to contribute to the box office, I would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago. ”
"I don't care, you have to go anyway!" Le Mingxiao got up from the sofa, ran to Yan Duo in three steps and two steps, pressed him directly, hugged his neck from behind, and squeezed, "Go, go, if you don't go to the movie, it's about to go offline." ”
Yan Duo turned his head to look at him, the corners of his lips curled, "You should always give me a reason?"
"It's just, just treat it as a date," as soon as these words came out, Le Mingxiao's cheeks turned red, and he muttered, "Everyone is in love like this." ”
The smile on the corner of Yan Duo's lips deepened, and he looked at Le Mingxiao and said, "So we're in love?"
When it came to this, Le Mingxiao didn't do anything reserved, and gnawed down on Yan Duo's mouth.
"Yes, it's in love!"
