Chapter 756: VIP Premiere

The so-called VIP premiere is not something that can invite any high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and those who come to participate in the VIP premiere are generally some artists and stars invited by the producer and distributor, as well as the cast and crew in front of and behind the scenes of the film crew, including their families and close friends. Of course, in addition to these people, what is indispensable are media reporters with pens in hand, and film critics who rely on their mouths to eat.

As an idol singer turned actor, Cheng Youli has inevitably been criticized and questioned by the media and the public. However, after her hard work, she used TV series with considerable ratings to smash all the rumors. The Mizuki drama "Devouring the Sun", which had just been broadcast on SBS, won the ratings championship in that time period, beating "Miss Please" broadcast on KBS TV at the same time.

Successfully transformed into a TV actor, Cheng Youli did not stop there, and once again challenged the film actor, playing the heroine for the first time, performing in his big-screen debut "Rabbit and Lizard".

In the film, Cheng Youli departed from the previous posture of a pure jade girl, showed a mature, elegant and sad face, and played the heroine May, who has lived abroad for more than 20 years and returned to South Korea to explore her life experience. Director Zhu Zhihong has repeatedly talked to the media about why he would choose Cheng Youli to play the heroine in promotional activities, claiming that he was impressed by her tenacious and soft "double-sided acting" in the TV series [Kuai Dao Hong Jitong], and trusted that she could perform May excellently.

Partnering with Cheng Youli is Zhang He, this cool handsome guy did not hesitate to praise Cheng Youli's acting skills in the face of the media, and the "sense of alienation" of the first cooperation between the two is more conducive to figuring out the subtle changes in emotions between the characters from distance to proximity with himself and Cheng Youli.

With the recommendation and appreciation of the director and the actor, the media is naturally full of expectations for Cheng Youli's performance in "Rabbit and Lizard". When I received the invitation to the premiere, more than 100 film and television media came to participate, including some senior film and television media reporters and some film critics who wrote film reviews.

On the day of the premiere of "Rabbit and Lizard", in order to increase the influence of the film, the distributor had the director and the hero and heroine tour the downtown area of Seoul for promotional activities. In the bustling road sections and communities such as Myeongdong, Apgujeong-dong, Dongdaemun, etc., the main creators used the temporary small stage to interact with the people on the stage, answer questions from the citizens and introduce the content of the film, so as to attract more people to buy tickets to watch the film.

As a literary film that loves love, South Korea shoots a lot every year. Whether it is warm, warm or tear-jerking, the Korean people have seen a lot, and even have aesthetic fatigue. Even if it is the best food, it is difficult to swallow if you eat too much, and you don't even know the taste of it. If you want your movie to break through, in addition to the gorgeous acting skills of the male and female protagonists and attractive themes, then the rest is propaganda.

Obviously, the tour publicity method used by the publisher this time has aroused the curiosity of many people. Being able to ask the hero and heroine on the spot what they think of the film and their evaluation of their acting skills is absolutely rare before. Even if the answer contains a certain amount of water, it still can't dispel people's curiosity.

Zixi and Lee Hyori drove to Myeongdong Cinema City together, and their appearance attracted the attention of many media and fans who came early, stealing all the limelight from the artists and stars who arrived early, which shows that Zixi's popularity is absolutely unparalleled. Even if the artist has been robbed of his halo, he will not be jealous of Zixi, because in South Korea, among film and television stars, no one asks himself if his popularity will be higher than Zixi.

Zihee's return to Korean film and television's first work [IRIS], after the third episode aired last night, the ratings have reached 29.7%, and no one will doubt that tonight's fourth season will break through the 30 mark. Many media and netizens have begun to speculate that [IRIS] will break through 40 points in the first few episodes and become one of the few national TV dramas in recent years.

Unable to see Zixi and Kim Tae-hee attend together, the reporters were a little disappointed, after all, the hottest topic in the city now is this golden boy and girl-like couple actors. Earlier, the distributor of [Rabbit and Lizard] announced that Zi-hee would attend the VIP premiere of the movie, and the media thought that in order to achieve a win-win situation, Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee would attend the premiere together.

FIN. K.L has now developed their own SOLO, but TCE has never announced the dissolution of FIN.K.L, the ancestral girl idol group, and the four members of the group have always claimed that FIN.K.L will never disband in the face of the media, but the members are now seeking better development, and FIN.K.L will definitely stand on the stage together again in the future.

With these messages, FIN. K.L's fans are naturally crazy, and on the official website, countless FIN.K.L fans are sticking to FINKY, and they all believe that one day, FIN.K.L's red will once again be sprinkled in the audience. TCE also stated that FIN. K.L will release albums from time to time, and even hold fan concerts to repay the support of fans. With the support of these news, the number of Fanclubs has not decreased at all, even in the polls, the most anticipated performance stage of the public, FIN. K.L still holds one strong position, and Girls' Generation can only settle for two.

"Zixi! You're finally here, and I almost can't wait to get in. Before he could reach the door, Cha Tae-hyun ran over. Cha Tae-hyun, who was the deceased of Jang Hyuk and made a small cameo in "Rabbit and Lizard", came to the film city early and accepted a brief interview, and now seeing Zi-hee and Lee Hyo-ri present gave him a chance to get rid of the pestering reporters.

"Brother Taixian, you're here so early!" He hugged Cha Tae-hyun and said, "Didn't sister-in-law and so-chan come?" ”

"Xiucan is still young, and I don't want him to be harassed by those reporters, so let your sister-in-law take him to his mother's house." Cha Tae-hyun and Lee Hyo-ri said hello, pulled Zi-hee and Lee Hyo-ri with one hand, and said, "Let's go in quickly, Jang Hyuk and Yoori are inside, let's go in together and take a group photo, don't give the opportunity to those media." ”

This premiere was very casual, not wearing formal dresses, all dressed casually. Zixi and Lee Hyo-ri are simple casual clothes, as the male and female protagonists Jang Hyuk and Cheng Youli, one is in a casual suit, and the other is a black leather skirt with a white top, which is refreshing and beautiful.

Walking into the movie city, as far as Zixi can see, most of the artists and stars who come are relatives and friends invited by the leading actors, and a few seniors are invited by the producers and distributors, and there are basically very few top big-name stars, and Zixi is the top star present.

However, with Zixi present, it is far more dazzling than a hundred first- and second-tier stars. Since the appearance of him and Lee Hyo-ri, the fans who came to support the scene have not stopped shouting the names of Zi-hee and Lee Hyo-ri, and the red color representing FIN.K.L is the most eye-catching. Some of the "knights" who arrived could only be overshadowed by FINKY's incomparable enthusiasm.

"Sister Xiaoli! Zixi! How are you together? When Cheng Youli saw Zixi and Lee Hyo-ri who entered the arena hand in hand, his face couldn't help but change again and again. knew the ambiguous relationship between the two, but seeing that they were so close, the thorn in Cheng Youli's heart made her heartache for a while, and she rushed out and asked.

"Huh! Zixi called and asked if I would come to your premiere, and I was going to come anyway, so I made an appointment to come over. Lee Hyo-ri responded very generously and casually. Even Cha Tae-hyun and Jang Hyuk, who felt that the Cheng You-ri problem was a bit abrupt, didn't pay too much attention to these.

"Hego! Sister Yori! Good luck with your films. As soon as Zixi came over, he sent a blessing.

"Huh! Your kid's TV series is really a big hit! Zhang He and Zixi hugged fiercely, and after greeting Li Xiaoli, they pulled Zixi and said, "You come with me, I will introduce the director and some friends to you." ”

Looking at Zixi who was already in the distance, Cheng Youli didn't retract his gaze for a long time. Li Xiaoli, who has been looking at Cheng Youli, sighed secretly in his heart, his sister still can't let go of Zixi!

Li Xiaoli put his arm around Cheng Youli's shoulders and persuaded in a low voice: "Little girl! My sister knows what you think in your heart, but it's better to let go of some things, and excessive attachment will make you more painful. ”

Cheng Youli trembled, and the focus of his gaze slowly retracted from Zixi's back, and said, "What about Ernie?" Can you let go now? Knowing that he has other women, can you still leave him? ”

Li Xiaoli glanced at Cheng Youli in surprise, thinking about what she meant, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said, "It's impossible, my sister is already deep in the mud, and if she leaves him, she will be crushed." ”

"Oh!" Cheng Youli responded. But in his heart, he said: I also fell into it, every time I saw him, my feet stepped deeper, and now it is difficult to pull it out.

Cheng Youli has a lot of things on his mind, even if Li Zhen and Yuzhu Hyun arrive later, FIN. K.L's reunion on the same occasion caused quite a stir, and she just forced a smile. made the sisters who are familiar with her character mistakenly think that she is nervous about the movie premiere for a while.

The film "Rabbit and Lizard" tells the story of a girl who returns to South Korea from a foreign country to find her roots and meets a taxi driver who is facing death at any time at the airport. Love, tenderness, pathos, and bitterness are the main themes of literary films, and Korean writers and directors are familiar with this aspect.

However, in the process of watching, Zixi found that the heroine May in the film was dressed exactly the same as the usual Cheng Youli, and even her personality traits were actually eight or nine percent similar to her in reality, it seems that the whole film was tailor-made for Cheng Youli, no wonder she was able to perform so attentively, smoothly, like a divine help.

At the end of the day, Zixi was still in the subtitle of "Clothing Sponsor = Cheng Youli", and couldn't help but laugh "poof", now I finally understood why I was looking at Cheng Youli on the big screen, no wonder it would give people a sense of déjà vu. The clothes worn by Cheng Youli in the film turned out to be her usual clothes. Lee Hyo-ri, Lee Jin, and Ok Joo-hyun, who were on the side, should have felt the same way, and after seeing the subtitles, they all smiled and showed expressions of sudden realization.

"How's the film? Can you get into the eyes of you, a star in the world? As soon as the movie ended, Zhang He couldn't wait to find Zixi to ask for advice.

glanced at Zhang He, and then looked at Cheng Youli, who was looking forward to it, Zixi commented more pertinently: "Compared with other love and love literary films, this drama does have a lot of attractions. Maybe the audience won't be able to adapt to your changes, but at least I see Brother He, who is completely different from the image, and I see a real Sister Youli. ”

"Humph! You're just playing a role in us. Cheng Youli didn't sell it, his eyes flashed a terrifying cold light, and said, "Then what do you say the admission rate of this drama will be?" ”

"Ugh!" I didn't expect Cheng Youli to ask so directly. Although the film has some attractive points, there are too many such youth literary films in South Korea. In terms of the quality of the film, Zixi feels that it is not as good as "My Love is Around", which is being released, starring Ha Ji Won and Kim Myung Min. The same male protagonist suffers from a terminal illness, and the same female protagonist insists on guarding her side. The same story is expressed in different ways, and the audience will have aesthetic fatigue.

A disaster film [Haeundae] has already put Ha Ji Won in the ranks of top movie stars, and her appeal and appeal are far greater than today's Sung Yo-ri. So even if [Rabbit and Lizard] is still excellent, it is basically impossible to catch up with the movie "My Love is Around" of the same genre and theme. Even the two will be compared, and with Jewel in front, the situation of [Rabbit and Lizard] can be imagined.

That's what my heart thinks, but can I say it? So many media reporters around pricked up their ears, and as long as Zixi said the wrong word, it would undoubtedly bring a disastrous effect to the film.
