Chapter 31: Preview Screening
In the Magic Age Cinema, some people with invitation cards walked in one after another, and after being politely inspected by the theater staff at the door, they were guided to a large hall, where there were some drinks and buffets, but the crowd at the scene was obviously divided into three parts, one of which was distinct, and the other two parts intersected each other.
Standing in the northwest corner, Sunny looked at the people in the venue with glowing eyes, and was so excited that she couldn't help herself, "Oh, look, who is that?" Jessica! She even came. Oh sell! Male god Christine! My male god! You said that if I went to him for an autograph and a photo, would he agree? ”
Sunny didn't wait for the answer of the fans who were also drawn to watch the preview screening, and quickly straightened her dress, and walked in the direction of Christine with her hands and feet.
There are a total of 80 fan quotas, Zhao Xi put 30 in his own country, and Roy, the head of Zhao Xi's Iron Powder Moon Group, presided over the selection of 30 fans to fly to the United States and Canada to watch the preview screening of the movie "Heroic Epic", and the other remaining places are all on the side of the United States and Canada.
Although Zhao Xi means to see who is lucky to be drawn, but Roy, as the actual operator, thinks otherwise, in her opinion, her destiny has rarely broken out since "Food World", and for more than a year, except for seeing her occasional updates on Zhao Xi's neck, knowing her dynamics, it seems to have disappeared.
Some time ago, the overwhelming publicity of the movie "Heroic Epic" suddenly began in China, so that a Zhao Xi wind began to blow in the Eastern Empire again, the entertainment industry is changing too quickly, if you don't continue to maintain exposure, it will soon be forgotten, so when the publicity started, many people were still thinking about which Zhao Xi was.
Given that this is the first film directed by Zhao Xi, Roy naturally hopes to get off to a good start, rather than deciding the thirty places in the form of a lottery, it is better to allocate the places to die-hard fans, as long as the movie is not too unwatchable, at least hardcore fans will buy it. In this way, the fans from the Eastern Empire, who are from the Eastern Empire, will at least not be too bad for the fans of the preview screening in China.
While silently counting the big stars, big directors, and various famous film critics, Roy motioned with his eyes to the other Moon Troupe members who were also from the Eastern Empire to recruit members among the fifty fans in the United States and Canada - our goal is to snatch the fans of other stars and jointly protect the rising sun!
"Lucas, why are you so late? This is your disciple's first independent directorial work, and if you don't come to support her earlier, it won't be reasonable. Tom, the director who successfully directed a commercial series that was a box office hit, saw Lucas and said with a smile.
Lucas smiled and said: "It's the same early and late, she doesn't need me to support her, as long as you watch the movie, you can understand why I would rather be cheeky and compete with Stephen and James for her." ”
Lucas is talking about many years ago, no matter how his old friend James blew his beard and glared, he snatched Zhao Xi from James and Stephen and asked Zhao Xi to worship him as a teacher.
Tom pursed his lips secretly, not believing Lucas's words at all, thinking that he had made a few movies before he slowly emerged, but there are many directors like him in the United States and Canada, if he wasn't lucky enough to direct the blockbuster commercial film series he is holding now, where would he be famous and talk to Lucas so freely.
But for Lucas, who makes commercial films, commercial films are big sellers, literary films, and literary films are award-winning world-class directors, Tom still has a certain gap, if Zhao Xi is not in the name of Lucas's three disciples, he will not come here to watch this kind of test screening - a look at the standard configuration of the movie, a new director who is not very famous, a protagonist who has never heard of it, a second-rate actor from the Eastern Empire, a few outdated actors who are used to running tricks, even if he spends more money on publicity, he is destined to hit the street.
Lucas is the same as a human spirit, and naturally he can see Tom's disapproval, he is not angry, and he doesn't say much, everything will naturally be revealed after watching the film.
"Teacher Lucas, Teacher James, and Teacher Stephen are already over there, are you there?" Zhao Xi took Joseph and Chu Xun to know people one by one, Joseph is a rookie, he only knows others, others don't know him; Chu Xun has no chance to break into the upper echelons of the entertainment industry in the United States and Canada, but now he has a rare opportunity, and he will not leave Zhao Xi an inch.
Then Zhao Xi greeted Tom politely, and then introduced Chu Xun to Lucas, "Teacher Lucas, this is Chu Xun from the Eastern Empire, a supporting actor in the movie." Joseph, you've known each other for a long time, so I won't introduce you. ”
Joseph respectfully greeted Lucas, not to mention that the two families are world friends, but he also thanks to Lucas's recommendation for getting this role, so his attitude towards Lucas is more respectful than before.
Chu Xun has already met many big directors and big stars behind Zhao Xi, and now facing Lucas, even if he has seen James and Stephen, he will still be nervous and excited, no more, as long as he can be appreciated by any of these three, he will step into the sky - their films are not only popular, but also popular.
"Hello Mr. Lucas, I'm Chu Xun, and we have already worked together on the first TV series that Xiaoxi filmed when he returned to China. If I watch the film later, I hope you will give me advice if there is anything I need to improve. Chu Xun smiled gently and modestly and stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Lucas.
Joseph, who is happy with Chu Xun, almost wanted to roll his eyes: This remark, when I saw Zhao Xi's other two teachers James and Stephen before, also said the same, showing that he is familiar with Xiaoxi?! If you want to take a ladder to Qingyun, even if it really is, I should go up first, I don't know if I'm better than you?
Chu Xun didn't know Joseph's complaints, and talked with Lucas affectionately, while talking to Tom from time to time, without snubbing him.
Zhao Xi led Lucas to the place where James and Stephen and the others were, talked and laughed a few words with them, and went to greet the others.
At 9:20, the theater staff began to slowly guide everyone in the living room to the theater, the first theater is the directors and stars, the second theater is the film critics, and the third theater is 80 fans.
At 9:30, the lights in the theater dimmed, and the people sitting in the seats unconsciously sat upright, stopped whispering with the people around them, and began to wait for the movie to play.
