Chapter 98: The premiere of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Bai Jing's attention!
Fast forward to the end of December.
After filming "Embroidered Spring Knife", Lin Shu almost stayed at home except for buying some necessities.
That is, he has not been in contact with the outside world for several days before he goes out for a walk.
After checking it and making sure nothing had been left behind, he left the apartment with his suitcase in tow.
Tonight is the premiere of "Embroidered Spring Knife".
As the protagonist who has been talked about recently, it is natural to appear at the premiere.
More than ten days before the release of the movie, all the promotional videos of the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" were edited about him.
Several famous scenes of "adding money" and "very run" have been released in advance.
If the audience is going to the cinema for Lin Shu, they will find that half of Ding Xiu's scenes in the movie are all they have already seen.
It wasn't until yesterday that the crew finally released the main content of the movie one after another.
However, netizens are not very resistant, and after learning that "Embroidered Spring Knife" is not a comedy, the advance tickets are still at more than 1.1 million.
After getting off the plane, Lin Shu went straight to the premiere of "Embroidered Spring Knife".
Under the guidance of the staff, he met the main creators of the crew in the lounge inside the theater.
"Yo, isn't this our brother Jiaqian!"
As soon as Lin Shu pushed the door open, a familiar voice sounded.
It was no one else who was talking and ridiculing, it was Li Dong, who had a good relationship with him in the crew before.
Li Dong was wearing a black suit, and while looking at Lin Shu, there was a playful smile on his face.
"It's okay to send a message to ridicule a few days ago, why don't you let me go when you meet!" Lin Shu raised his hand and sighed helplessly.
A few days ago, when the popularity of "Add Money Jushi" was at its highest, Li Dong would play voice messages to him almost every day.
The embarrassing thing is that it was Li Dong himself who imitated the voice of "you have to add money".
Sometimes Lin Shu is also very puzzled, just a movie clip, is it so fun?
After greeting a few acquaintances, he sat down against Li Dong.
For this Zhang Wan and a few people, Lin Shu's senses are still very good.
Even if they leave the crew, they sometimes ask Lin Shu about his recent situation.
Unlike some people who are just polite on the surface, they have a face in the crew, and they look different when they come out of the crew.
A person who lives alive in a suit.
After chatting for about ten minutes, Bai Jing, dressed very simply, walked in from outside.
Seeing that everyone was there, he said with a little apology:
"I was discussing the process of the premiere with the people in the theater just now, and the delay was a bit long, so I made you wait for a long time!"
"No, no, no!"
"I haven't seen you for so long, but it's quite fun to chat."
"To be honest, if I hadn't seen Bai Dao come in, I would have almost forgotten that today was the premiere!"
"You!" After pointing at Li Dong and shaking his head helplessly, Bai Jing put away the smile on his face: "The premiere will start soon, I'll take you over first." ”
Hearing Bai Jing's words, several people nodded their heads in agreement.
Although it is true that everyone has not seen each other for a long time, and there are many topics to exchange, tonight is the premiere of "Embroidered Spring Knife", and everything is still dominated by movies.
After understanding the process of the premiere clearly, a group of people followed behind Bai Jing and came to the premiere screening room.
In the theater!
Professional film critic and major entertainment news reporter...... and other practitioners related to the film and television industry have already sat down in the positions arranged for them by the organizers.
When a few people walked in, all eyes were on them.
Walking under the screen, Bai Jing didn't say anything long-winded:
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but please watch the movie first, and I'll leave time for you to interview later."
After a brief explanation, Bai Jing put down the microphone and sat down in the second row with Lin Shu and the others.
Lin Shu subconsciously walked inside, but felt that someone was pulling his clothes.
When he turned around, he saw Bai Jing shaking his head at him.
Although I don't know what he means, Lin Shu vacated his place and made way for the other actors.
After several leading actors walked in, Lin Shu and Bai Jing sat down in the outermost position.
"When I am interviewed by the media, you will stand next to me!" Bai Jing turned his head sideways and whispered in a suppressed voice.
"Director Bai, this is not appropriate!"
Lin Shu frowned and looked at him with an embarrassed expression.
The position of the actors on the stage at the premiere basically represents their role in the movie.
Of course!
This is not absolute, some famous actors, even if they don't have many roles in the movie, the organizers will arrange them in a relatively high position.
But the problem is that Lin Shu is not only not famous, but there are very few in "Embroidered Spring Knife".
As the chief director of the film, Bai Jing will definitely stand in the middle later.
If you stand by his side, not to mention attracting the attention of the media, the key is that it is easy to make other actors dissatisfied.
This is what Lin Shu doesn't want to see.
"There's nothing inappropriate, if it weren't for the disturbance you made some time ago, there wouldn't be so many media coming to this premiere!"
Bai Jing waved his hand, his attitude was very resolute.
After filming "Embroidered Spring Knife" a few months ago, he briefly talked with the heads of major theaters about the proportion of films scheduled on the first day of the movie.
The film schedule is determined by many factors such as the filmmaker, the theater, the audience, and the director's fame.
The movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" does not do much publicity, and it is also an unfamiliar series to the audience.
In addition, it is a martial arts movie, and he is not very famous, so the theater chain only gave 5% of the first-day films.
And this is still the theater considering that several leading actors are quite famous, otherwise...... Maybe not even five percent!
When I heard the news at that time, Bai Jing, who was in the late stage of production, sighed in my heart.
The first day of film scheduling represents the theater's expectations for the movie.
In other words, in the eyes of several major theaters, the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is destined not to be too high.
Even if Bai Jing knew that his movie was very good and worthy of a higher first-day schedule, there was still nothing he could do.
After all, almost all of the money invested in the film was used by him for production.
Without good marketing, there are naturally not many people who pay attention.
But I didn't expect the peak to turn around a few days later.
The news that Lin Shu helped the Siam police solve the theft case was exported by the Siamese official newspaper.
When the popularity was at its highest, he took the opportunity to do some publicity for "Embroidered Spring Knife".
Although there are not many people who pay attention, it is much better than the previous obscurity.
Coupled with the explosion of "Adding Money to the Layman", the theater finally increased the schedule of "Embroidered Spring Knife" to 8%.
And Bai Jing is here, and there is almost no effort.
The movie can increase the film schedule by three percent, which can be said to be completely dependent on Lin Shu's popularity alone.
Don't talk about standing in the C position, even standing on his shoulders, he is also happy!
