Chapter 041 Midnight Preview Screening
On the day when "Modern Bodyguard" was officially released, "Chasing Girls" produced by Donglai Company also held a midnight test screening under pressure.
However, neither Gu Weiqi nor Chen Xunqi is worried about the box office. Although this film is not very good, it is absolutely reasonable nowadays, and it is impossible for the audience not to buy it, after all, many of the scenes in this film are very funny.
Despite this, Chen Xunqi still lacks confidence in his heart. It must be known that this is his first time directing a film, and he does not even have a producer. In addition to the script written by Gu Weiqi, he single-handedly handled everything from the preparation of the crew, to the start of filming, to the completion of production. Therefore, friends in the circle were invited to come and help.
The test screening of the movie "Chasing the Girl" was held at the flagship store of the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line, which has 3,000 seats and is the largest theater in the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line. However, when Gu Weiqi arrived, many fans and media reporters had already gathered at the entrance of the theater.
As soon as Gu Weiqi got out of the car, a group of reporters surrounded him, holding "long guns and short cannons" high and starting to ask him all kinds of questions.
"Gu Shao, I'm a reporter from 'Ming Pao', do you have confidence in tonight's 'Chasing Girls' midnight test screening?"
"Gu Shao?" Gu Weiqi was stunned, when did the buddy become a young master? However, he quickly reflected and said in high spirits: "There is no doubt that I am very confident!" ”
"Why are you so confident? Aren't you afraid that the audience won't buy it? ”
"It's very simple, because I wrote the script, and I naturally have a lot of confidence in this play."
"So how much box office do you estimate this drama will get?"
"It's hard to say, after all, I'm not an immortal who can pinch and calculate. But personally, I feel that this film is not bad, and the box office should not be too bad. ”
"So do you think you can break the box office created by last year's 'Junior Brother Out of the Horse' starring Cheng Throat?"
"What do you think?" Gu Weiqi asked funny, and seeing that the reporters were gathering more and more, he hurriedly separated the reporters and squeezed into the theater.
"Boss, let me introduce you to you, this is Miss Zhang Tianxi, the second female actor of 'chasing girls'."
As soon as Gu Weiqi walked in, Chen Xunqi led a tall and beautiful woman to introduce: "Miss Zhang, this is Mr. Gu Weiqi, the boss of our Donglai Company." ”
Zhang Tianyan generously stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, Boss Gu." ”
"Hello Miss Zhang." Gu Weiqi shook hands with her and said casually, "Just call me Archie." ”
Zhang Tianyan is very tall, as far as Gu Weiqi knows, it seems that the other party was rated as one of the 50 most beautiful faces in Asia in later generations, and he also opened a clothing brand. Anyway, it feels very powerful, but in his opinion, this woman's face is not particularly beautiful, mainly because she has a good figure and a good temperament.
"Okay, Archie heard that the costumes in the play 'Chasing Girls' were all designed by you?"
"Yes." Gu Weiqi nodded and said with a smile: "What?" Could it be that Ms. Cheung is also interested in fashion design? ”
"Yes, I think Archie's clothing is very avant-garde and fashionable, and you studied fashion design?"
"No, costume design is just my hobby, my major should be theatrical acting."
"Oh, you're pretty good. I have time to exchange ideas about fashion design, and I plan to have the opportunity to create my own clothing brand in the future. ”
"Okay." Gu Weiqi nodded, and the two exchanged contact numbers.
While the two were talking, a man and a woman came together, came to Gu Weiqi's side and said, "Mr. Gu (Archie), you are here too." ”
Gu Weiqi looked up, but it was Zhang Guorong and Guan Zhilin, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's a movie produced by our company, why can't I, the boss, come and take a look?" ”
Zhang Guorong asked bottomlessly: "Mr. Gu, what do you think of my performance?" ”
"It's not bad, just call me Archie."
"What about me?" Guan Zhilin asked.
"It's okay, overall, everyone's performances are still remarkable."
Gu Weiqi was talking, when suddenly Chen Xunqi turned around and walked over, laughing and said, "Haha, Brother Sanmao is here." ”
Hong Jinbao said boldly: "This is a film directed by you yourself, brother, I naturally have to come over to cheer you on." ”
Gu Weiqi hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Brother Hong, please come inside." ”
Hong Jinbao nodded and strode into the theater. Subsequently, a group of popular students of Phoenix TV Company, including Huang Yuansheng, Yang Panpan, Lin Zhenying and others, all came over. After all, this movie is the work of Donglai Company, and Donglai Company and Phoenix TV can be said to be closely related brother companies, so they naturally want to come over and make a strong noise.
Soon the movie began to play, and as the plot progressed, there was a burst of laughter from time to time in the theater.
I have to say that Chen Xunqi is worthy of being mixed in the film industry for so many years, and his acting skills are still remarkable, and he interprets the hippie humorous style of the actor who likes to chase girls, and he is very well interpreted.
In comparison, Zhang Guorong and Guan Zhilin's acting skills are not half a star. Fortunately, this film itself is a typical Hong Kong-style comedy, but it doesn't need to be very skillful. Judging by the laughter conveyed from time to time by the audience, it is clear that the film is still very successful.
Gu Weiqi, who was sitting in the back row, finally put his mind at ease, no matter what, this film is the first film released by "Donglai Company", if the audience is not satisfied, it will undoubtedly smash the signboard, and it will not be easy to shape the reputation in the future.
The 90-minute film was quickly over, and the audience applauded the film at the time.
It was not until this time that Chen Xunqi was completely relieved, and then the director and a leading actor went up to make a speech, nothing more than hoping that everyone would publicize and support Yunyun. Then there are interviews with journalists.
Chen Xunqi and several leading actors were very cooperative, but Gu Weiqi quietly slipped out of the theater as soon as the movie was played, and came to the "Jade Shan Fang International Restaurant" to first order a banquet for Chen Xunqi and them. Not long after, after being interviewed by reporters, they all rushed over.
By the time everyone had celebrated, it was almost three o'clock in the morning. After sending everyone away, Gu Weiqi left Guan Zhilin and opened a luxurious room in the hotel.
After drinking red wine, Guan Zhilin's pretty face became more and more beautiful, Gu Weiqi looked at it like an ape, and as soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but hug her little waist and said, "Arlene, you are so beautiful!" With that, he lowered his head again and kissed the beautiful woman's red lips, and at the same time his hand reached into the girl's skirt and walked up.
The girl felt like an electric shock, and a warm meaning rippled from her chest, and she quickly struggled twice, but did not open his embrace. For a while, his face was red and delicate. Drunk people are generally more sensitive than usual, and the originally white and flawless skin is slightly pink at this time, and the white is translucent and red, tender and delicate.
Gu Weiqi's heart was agitated, and while kissing the girl, he slowly unbuttoned the chest of the other party's dress with trembling hands. Suddenly, the snow-white skin on the girl's chest was shown in front of his eyes, and the deep seductive ravine couldn't help but make him crazy.
Airplanes! Gu Weiqi's love fire burned all of a sudden, and he hugged the girl to the wide and comfortable bed and kissed him wildly.
"Hmm~" The girl gasped and whispered, "Don't ......"
"Arlene, I like you so much!" Gu Weiqi raised his head, looked at the girl affectionately and said, "I want you to be my woman tonight!" ”
Gu Weiqi knows that there is a matter of pickling girls, and there are no slow hands. Especially Guan Zhilin's "fat meat", I don't know how many men are staring at it, if I don't start early, in case someone takes the lead that day, it will be too late to regret it.
In fact, he has always wanted to eat this piece of "fat meat", but since he came back from the United States, he has basically been busy, but he has not found time. Although the two have established a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, they don't really spend much time together, and their relationship is not very deep and solid. However, in his opinion, feelings can be cultivated slowly in the future.
The girl was teased by him and became emotional early. At this time, Xing's eyes were half-open, and his pretty face agreed to his request shyly and timidly, but his mouth said, "I'm still the first...... Once in all, you have to be gentle, and take care of me for the rest of your life, love me forever, and don't abandon me! ”
At this moment, Gu Weiqi was naturally full of promises.
……
The lingering of the night is indescribably merry and happy, and the endless affection is endless.
Early in the morning, when Guan Zhilin was still asleep, Gu Weiqi got up early. After practicing outside for an hour, I bought a few newspapers and browsed them. Mainly look at yesterday's comments about the release of "Chasing Girls", after all, film reviews will also affect the box office.
"I have to say that the 'Chasing Girls' produced by 'Oriental Hollywood Company' is still very interesting, and it is quite suitable for the whole family to watch together."
"The typical Hong Kong-style comedy of 'Chasing Girls' is piled up with all kinds of funny bridges, and there is nothing new at all, which is inevitably disappointing!"
"In the Xiangjiang film industry, where martial arts and action movies of the Republic of China are flooded, the fashion film 'Chasing Girls' has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the film industry. Although there are still a lot of minor fetishes in this film, it is still very good overall. ”
“……”
Reviews about the movie, some say it is good, some say it is bad, and all in all, it is mixed. In fact, when everyone goes to the theater to watch a movie, most of them are in a good mood. And this movie is just quite the appetite of the small citizens. However, from a professional point of view, film critics have a different view from a simple audience.
But no matter what, the box office of this movie doesn't have to worry too much about Gu Weiqi. After all, the investment is only more than 2 million, plus all kinds of publicity is only about 3 million, and the film has gained more than 9 million box office in history, and there is no problem in recovering the cost now.
