U.S. time, 9 a.m.

In front of a luxury five-star movie theater in Los Angeles, a red carpet tens of meters long leads to the side of the road.

At this time, many reporters and photographers with cameras on their shoulders and microphones in their hands are quickly gathering here.

When the time came to ten o'clock in the morning, reporters from hundreds of media outlets had gathered on both sides of the red carpet, and thousands of fans were also waiting for it.

As the first black luxury car stopped in front of the red carpet, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and the reporters also pointed their cameras at the car.

As the host of this premiere, the first car sat in Zhao Xing.

When Zhao Xing opened the car door and walked down, countless "clicks" of taking pictures suddenly sounded on both sides of the red carpet, and countless flashes kept flashing.

For this kind of formation, Zhao Xing has become accustomed to it.

With a smile on his face, Zhao Xing slowly stepped onto the red carpet, waved his hands to both sides, and cooperated with these reporters in a few poses.

After taking the photos, these reporters rushed towards Zhao Xing one by one and surrounded him.

"Director Zhao, do you have confidence in your new movie?"

"Confidence, of course there is, otherwise I wouldn't have let him be released."

"Director Zhao, what is your box office expectation for the new movie?"

"In terms of box office, of course, the more the better, and I can't say the exact amount, but I believe that this movie will not disappoint the audience."

"Director Zhao, today is the day of the premiere of your movie, why didn't your wife Lin Ziyan come with you?"

"My wife is busy promoting the album, and I can just come to the premiere alone, after all, I am familiar with it."

"Director Zhao, may I ask which guests you invited for this premiere? Is it convenient to reveal? ”

"It's hard to say, after all, there are too many people, and I will appear with everyone one by one later, please wait and see, okay, I'll go inside to explain first, and you leave the questions to the guests later."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xing walked out of the group of reporters slowly, and the reporters did not embarrass him, and slowly got out of the way.

As Zhao Xing signed his name on the red screen at the entrance of the movie theater, the second car slowly stopped in front of the red carpet.

The car door opened, and a petite but very sexy girl stepped out of the car.

When she stepped on the red carpet from the car, the scene suddenly resounded with enthusiastic cheers, and some foreigners even whistled excitedly.

"Avril Lavigne I love you."

"Ivy Goddess, I love you, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Avril, you're the best."

“……”

This person is naturally Zhao Xing's old acquaintance, the "punk princess" Avril.

In the face of the deafening cheers, Avril smiled sweetly and waved her hand to the fans, and her actions naturally caused even greater cheers.

This group of reporters will certainly not let go of this good opportunity, and when Avril Lavigne stepped on the red carpet, they instantly surrounded her.

"Miss Avril, is your affair with David real?"

"Of course it's not true, my vision is not bad."

"Miss Avril, it is said that there is a consortium boy who is pursuing you, are you ready to agree to his courtship?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on how I'm feeling."

"Do you have anything to say about the sales of Miss Lin's album, who is also a singer?"

"First of all, of course, I want to congratulate her, Lin Ziyan and I are very good friends, and of course I hope that my album can one day achieve such an achievement."

As she spoke, Avril glanced at Zhao Xing intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of resentment in her beautiful eyes.

After finishing the interview, Avril walked to Zhao Xing's side, picked up the pen and signed his name, took a deep look at Zhao Xing, and complained: "Sure enough, in your Huaxia words, you can get the moon first by standing on a tall building, you are really attentive to your wife, more than 20 million album sales, tsk......t"

Listening to Avril's words with a strong resentment, Zhao Xing touched his nose a little helplessly, and corrected with a dry laugh: "That's called the first month near the water, and besides, my wife's album is a retirement work, if you want to quit the music scene that day, I will also help you make one." ”

"Really?" Zhao Xing's words made Avril's eyes light up instantly, and the pretended resentful look on her face was swept away, and she smiled at Zhao Xingtian and said: "A word is a certainty, I have taken your promise to heart, don't think about regretting it when the time comes." ”

"It's impossible to go back, isn't it just an album, what a big deal."

In the face of Zhao Xing's faint words, Avril rarely did not hit him, and Avril was already full of joy at this time.

Just as Zhao Xing and Avril were chatting, the third luxury car came to the red carpet.

This time it was also Zhao Xing's old acquaintance, she was Britney, who was known as the "sweetheart singer".

I saw Britney Spears walking on the red carpet with sexy steps, and when she was interviewed by reporters, she only had a smile and a little style.

When she passed through the group of reporters, she happened to see Zhao Xing and Avril Lavigne who were talking.

Seeing Avril appear as the first guest made Britney's heart a little pantothenic.

But she immediately adjusted, after all, in terms of relationship, Zhao Xing wanted to be closer to Avril.

Coming to the two of them, Britney signed her name and smiled at the two of them, "What are you two talking about?" ”

Listening to Britney's words, Zhao Xing said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just Avril and I'm asking for an album." ”

"Album?"

Zhao Xing's words made Britney's beautiful eyes suddenly light up, and she hurriedly asked, "Did you agree?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly: "Can I not agree?" ”

Listening to Zhao Xing's words, Britney directly said arrogantly: "Then I want it too, it's all the same company, you can't favor one over the other." ”

Britney has said such things, what else can Zhao Xing say? I can only nod my head in agreement.

"Of course not, but you're the same as Avril, and when you're ready to quit the music scene, I'll make one for you."

"Huh?"

Obviously, Britney thought it was the next album, but she didn't expect Zhao Xing to say that when she quits the music scene, with her current age, she will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?

Looking at Britney's bewildered look, Zhao Xing and Avril looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

After the arrival of Britney and Avril, the third guest to arrive was Zhang Yimou, an old acquaintance of Zhao Xinghuaxia.

For Zhao Xing's premiere, Zhang Yimou specially put down the movie he was shooting.

For Zhao Xing, Zhang Yimou's heart is still very complicated, on the one hand, he admires Zhao Xing's achievements at a young age, and on the other hand, he laments the change of identity.

Once upon a time, Zhao Xing was just a junior in front of him, and he had to rely on his own support.

However, the world is impermanent, and only a few years later, he took the initiative to ask Zhao Xing to help.

Yes, Zhang Yimou came this time, not only to attend the premiere of Zhao Xing's new movie, but also because of his new movie.

With Zhao Xing's prosperity in the United States, earning a lot of dollars with one movie after another, I don't know how many directors in China are jealous.

He Zhang Yimou is not a saint, and he also has his own selfishness.

He also wants to see that his films can go abroad and look international, and he also wants to earn dollars.

So, here he comes.

The purpose of his visit was to discuss with Zhao Xing about the release of his new movie in the United States.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and now this occasion is obviously inappropriate.

For Zhang Yimou, who has an Asian face, those foreign media are obviously not very interested, but many media from China surrounded Zhang Yimou and asked a few questions about his new movie, which also avoided Zhang Yimou's embarrassment.

After briefly answering the questions of these reporters, Zhang Yimou slowly walked in front of Zhao Xing, signed his name, and said with a smile to Zhao Xing: "You kid is really desperate, new works one after another, we old guys can't catch up." ”

Regarding Zhang Yimou's words, Zhao Xing smiled reservedly, and complimented Zhang Yimou: "You are a slow worker, I am a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and I can't compare with you old-timers." ”

Listening to Zhao Xing's words, Zhang Yimou scolded with a smile: "You kid, pick up the good ones." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yimou glanced at Zhao Xing and continued slowly: "How long are you going to release this movie?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Yimou's words made Zhao Xing not react for a while, and he wondered: "It should be at least a month, what's wrong?" Director Zhang. ”

"Uh...... Actually, it's nothing, it's just that my new movie is about to be finished, and after your movie is taken off the shelves, I don't know if you can help me arrange the release. ”

Saying that, Zhang Yimou seemed to be afraid that Zhao Xing would be embarrassed, and hurriedly added: "Actually, you don't need a few, just give it a try at more than a dozen movie theaters, how about it?" ”

Looking at Zhang Yimou's hopeful eyes, Zhao Xing suddenly smiled and said directly: "I thought what was the matter, this matter is easy to do, when the time comes, Director Zhang, tell me when your movie is released, let's not test the water with more than a dozen movies, with your Director Zhang's face, you will have to start with five hundred." ”

Listening to Zhao Xing's words, Zhang Yimou didn't react for a while, and was slightly stunned.

Five hundred cinemas.

As a director, Zhang Yimou certainly knows what this concept is, except for Zhao Xing, there is no director who can reach the scale of 500 movie theaters just after being released overseas.

You must know that even Zhao Xing's "Red Cliff" was only a few dozen when it was first released in the United States.

When Zhang Yimou reacted, he took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Xing with some complications in his eyes.

Because he knows that this favor ...... It's a bit too much.
