Chapter 405: A Humble Premiere

In the face of the overwhelming publicity offensive of China Film and Huayi, when it was learned that the two blockbusters were released at the same time on the 19th, Shanghai Film Group felt worried. 【Reading.com】''''

Chu Qiubai, He Tiejun was annoyed that he was squeezed in the gap between the New Year stalls for this "Dear".

But at this moment, Gu Xiaofan's mood was completely different from theirs, he neither regretted nor nervous, but felt more excited!

He had been so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights in a row! "Casting the Name" and "The Assembly" were adjusted to be released on the same day as his movie, which made him extremely excited.

This means that he can compete with China's top filmmakers under the same conditions! As a child, he dreamed of such a day.

What happens if it fails?

Gu Xiaofan didn't think about it, when he was taking a nap at noon on the 19th, he dreamed that he fell from a height of ten thousand feet, and in the rapid fall, he lost his soul and exclaimed, but at this time, he saw a group of huge black crows surrounding him.

When he looked down again, he felt that all his organs were about to melt, and the boundless ground was coming towards him, and the entire vast land of China was spread out below, like a colorful tapestry, everything was incomparably clear, and he suddenly forgot the fear of falling.

He was lifted by the black crows, overlooking the land of China in a soaring position...... The ground is covered by his huge shadow ~ as if the king of this world is king.

When he woke up from the dream, he was woken up by Liu Shishi's ears.

"Still sleeping! It's late for the premiere! ”

Gu Xiaofan got up from the sofa with a cry, and saw Liu Shishi, Gao Yuanyuan, military fan Liu, Lou Yixiao, and Indian girls all wearing formal clothes, and their faces were full of nervousness and sorting out their clothes and hairstyles.

Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but smile and wiped the watermark on his mouth: "As for being so nervous?" Today is the first time we have attended the premiere, so we have to be a little nervous. ”

Everyone looked helpless, only Gao Yuanyuan could still laugh: "Oh, we want to laugh too, but the film in the middle of the family, Huayi is the premiere of 10,000 people, we are just an ordinary standard...... If the reporters don't come, they can't laugh~"

"Let's go~" Gu Xiaofan said with a smile: "It's not a fight when you play a movie, it's useful to have a lot of people~!?" ”

After a few words of ridicule with each other, everyone took a special car to the newly opened Wanda Center Cinema in Yanjing.

Compared with the selection of the Olympic Sports Center in "Vote for Fame", the large-scale open-air premiere of "Assembly" in the Workers' Stadium attracted hundreds of media reporters to focus on the grand occasion.

The premiere of "Dear" did not have enough publicity money, neither a red carpet nor a big-name starring star, but a room was chartered in this theater and a simple promotional poster was made at the door to introduce the event.

In addition to fans, Gu Xiaofan also invited a group of folk film critics on Douban and Weibo.

This behavior caused a shock in the industry, is Gu Xiaofan so confident in his "anti-abduction film"? unexpectedly cleared the film critics on the Internet who made a living by scolding domestic movies to attend the premiere.

Or rather, Gu Xiaofan wants to canvass for tickets in advance in order to participate in European film festivals? Yes, this possibility is relatively large, after all, people on Douban prefer some literary and artistic themes.

But what is even more surprising is that Shangying did not provide any "red envelopes" for the critics who came to participate in the film to buy them......

This move made most of the film critics who came to participate cry and laugh, and it was really funny that such a high-profile self-inflicted humiliation at a small cost in the Lunar New Year file.

Don't give red envelopes? That is to give us free rein to play?

These folk film critics are all gearing up, and they are already brewing in their hearts how to scold Gu Xiaofan in order to get more online attention.

When Gu Xiaofan led everyone from Black Feather Studio into the theater, all the high-level executives of Shanghai Film Group got up to greet them.

Dozens of people waiting for the opening of the movie gathered in the theater lounge, but Chu Qiubai, the old factory director, He Tiejun...... There was no excitement on everyone's faces.

Everyone's eyes looked at the huge electronic bulletin board above the front desk, on which the words of red lights flashed to show the time and number of screenings of each movie today.

Of the 11 screens, 5 of which played "The Assembly" and 5 screened "Casting Names", and "Darling" was only allocated to the only screen, which was the Hall 7 they were about to enter.

"Darling" has its premiere in this theater, and there is only so little space, and it is even more conceivable in other theaters.

For Shangying, who had just achieved great success with "Chinese Partner" in the summer file, this situation was unexpected for them.

Ye Zhiqiu, the general manager of Wanda Cinema, personally came to receive the people in Shangying, and Chu Qiubai complained directly to him: "Manager Ye, our stalls are too few, right?" ”

Ye Zhiqiu's face was full of embarrassment, and he explained with a dry smile: "No way, the proportion of the projection association's arrangement is the same for each family, and this is not something I can decide." ”

Everyone's mood was very heavy, Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi could even hear the seat behind them, a young intern reporter was complaining with his colleagues:

"Alas~! Lao Wang of the editorial department is really eccentric, and the two groups of Dajun and Lao Wu went to interview the premiere of "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number", and threw us into this place where birds don't......"

"No way, someone always wants to come for an interview, we have to write a movie review when we go back, wait for you to read it with a snack."

"Isn't it a tragedy if there's anything to see...... There are so many bad movies that are sensational, I don't believe he can really make me cry. ”

Then there was a burst of laughter over there, Liu Shishi looked back at the people over there in disgust, but was pulled back by Gu Xiaofan: "Don't look at him, keep your image." ”

"Who...... It's here to dismantle the stage. Liu Shishi's clear face was full of indignation.

These reporters knew that the people in their crew were here, and they joked so loudly that they didn't take them seriously at all.

Gu Xiaofan didn't speak, he also knew that these reporters didn't look down on him, if they had a choice, these people would like to fly to the Workers' Sports Center or the Olympic Sports Center immediately to shoot Chen Kexin and Feng Xiaogang's sycophants.

Although Gu Xiaofan was uncomfortable in his heart, he was not angry, this world is very realistic, if you don't have the strength, people won't look down on you, not to mention that you are only a young man in your early 20s, and others have more reason to look down on you.

Wait, after this Chinese New Year, there will be no domestic film reporters who dare to look down on them so much.

The time finally arrived at 8 o'clock in the evening, everyone rushed in, and when they were seated, Gu Xiaofan could still see several invited film critics in the front row, holding laptops, watching the premieres of "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number" respectively.

From time to time, I can still hear "It's too good" and "This premiere is really level." "There are hundreds of celebrities here, right? It's almost on par with Hollywood. ”

Now whether it is Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Shishi, or Chu Qiubai, He Tiejun, the old factory director...... I couldn't help but show a helpless expression in my eyes......
