30 May, 2003.

癸未年, Ding Siyue, 癸卯日.

Appropriate: sacrifice, breaking ground, starting construction, opening the market, repairing tombs, and erecting monuments.

The launching ceremony and press conference of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was held as scheduled in a hotel in Xiamen.

Originally, Bai Yutang wanted to exempt himself from this set of procedures, but in the current Chinese film and television industry, whenever a new film is filmed, there must be a ceremony to worship God.

He wasn't too maverick, so he went along with the trend and held a start-up ceremony.

Generally speaking, at the opening ceremony, the table used for worship is covered with red velvet cloth, and the table is dedicated to Emperor Guan, flanked by incense burners and pig's heads and delicious fruits.

Usually, the camera is covered with a red cloth, and then the main creator of the crew worships God in turn, and finally lifts the red cloth of the machine to announce the start-up.

In the past, there was no such ceremony in the mainland, which was transmitted from Xiangjiang movies, and now it is generally accepted by everyone.

This is also normal, in fact, not only filming, but also new house housewarming, stock market opening, and foundation laying ceremonies usually have a ritual of worshipping God.

The purpose is mainly to bless the next things to go smoothly, just to ask for peace of mind, and it can't be generalized as superstition.

"Mr. Bai... You first please"

It stands to reason that the incense should start with Zhong Lifang as a producer.

But who made Bai Yutang the big boss, Zhong Lifang still has this bit of vision.

"Sister Fang, it's better for you to come first, I'm the boss when I get out of the crew, and I'm an actor when I join the crew"

Bai Yutang is not humble, he is mainly thinking about director Zhang Yibai.

This crew is either an investor or an investor's classmate, its artist.

If Bai Yutang is too strong at this time, when the time comes, how can you let Zhang Yibai be in the crew.

Therefore, it is better to keep a low profile, which is also good for filming.

“… Okay"

Zhong Lifang is not polite, and worshipping God is also a good time, and it will not work after the time.

After the producer and director finished worshipping, Bai Yutang led a group of actors to come forward to worship, and then the behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew.

After everyone finished worshipping the gods, they cut the pig's head again, and then Zhong Lifang, Zhang Yibai and Bai Yutang jointly lifted the red cloth on the camera.

This set of procedures is officially completed.

I was supposed to hang firecrackers, but the time and place were wrong, so I was exempted.

"I announce that the movie "In Those Years, the Girl We Chased Together" was officially launched"

Zhong Lifang took the microphone and announced loudly.

The reporters and crew invited at the bottom gave a round of applause to the face.

After the opening ceremony, it was the new film press conference.

At first, the reporters who were invited didn't ask any questions that went beyond the program.

The key is that these people in the crew, except for Liu Yifei and Bai Yutang, who have been on the small screen, are completely newcomers among newcomers, and there is no exciting news for them to ask.

Until the reporter asked, what Zhang Yibai expected from the box office of this movie.

The latter grinded and chirped for a long time, and humbly said a twenty million.

This was the final box office result of his last film, "Subway to Spring".

Bai Yutang decided to make a big news.

"I think Director Zhang is too humble, as the original script writer and starring of this movie, I think "Those Years..." can get at least 50 million box office, or even more..."

Bai Yutang opened his mouth and said endlessly, you must know that in 2003, except for one or two open, most of the movie box office is hovering around 10 million.

And it was only a little, Bai Yutang opened his mouth for 50 million, and he was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue.

"May I ask Mr. Bai Yutang, why do you think that the box office in those years will exceed 50 million......

As far as I know, you've only starred in two TV series since last year, and they've all been supporting roles... Now you have a box office of 50 million, which is too ......."

The reporter also received red envelopes, so some ugly words are not easy to say.

"Too arrogant, huh?"

The reporter couldn't say it, Bai Yutang said it.

The reporter nodded and sat down again, he wanted to hear how Bai Yutang refuted.

Bai Yutang continued to speak.

"First of all, I don't think 50 million is a high box office, the current scale of our domestic theaters and the rising demand of the masses to watch movies

can afford a movie with a box office of 50 million, or even hundreds of millions of box office, there is no problem, and "Hero" a year ago is proof of this"

"In those years...", it is a film unlike any previous youth film, because it tells the real youth of us ordinary people

It will open up another genre of youth films, which can only be imitated and cannot be surpassed"

"In the end, I believe in our script, I believe in our director, and I believe in our actors

Especially our "fairy sister" Miss Liu Yifei, I believe that after the release of this movie, a title of national first love will be added to her name, and it is well deserved. ”

Bai Yutang said so loudly that Liu Yifei was embarrassed.

This year, Sensei has said that the first love of the people is a new word, and even the fairy sister has not been called her like that.

Now, Bai Yutang is not famous, no one can know, Liu Yifei is bound to become famous.

In fact, many reporters at the scene couldn't wait to leave the scene to catch up with the script.

It's just that some reporters seemed to think that the news was not big enough, so they deliberately stood up and asked.

"Bai Yutang, you praise Miss Liu Yifei so much, are you in love with her?"

"No, we're just very good classmates and friends"

Sensei said that Bai Yutang has not yet confirmed the relationship with Liu Yifei, that is, one day the sheets will be rolled up, as long as the two of them do not plan to make it public, Bai Yutang will have to resolutely refuse.

"Miss Liu Yifei, do you agree with Mr. Bai Yutang's words?"

The reporter saw that he couldn't ask anything from Bai Yutang, so he had to turn around and ask about sixteen-year-old Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei took the microphone.

"We do have a good relationship with classmates and friends at the moment, and I'm still young and have no plans to fall in love...

As for the so-called fairy sister, and the first love of the people, everyone can listen to it, I don't think I deserve such a title..."

The reporter doesn't care if Liu Yifei can afford the title of the nation's first love, all he cares about is the vigor of the news.

Moreover, he felt that he had grasped a certain key point in Liu Yifei's words and continued to ask.

"Miss Liu Yifei, you just said that you are just friends at present, and you said that you are still young and have no plans to fall in love, does that mean that you have a good impression of Bai Yutang, but you didn't take action because of your age?"

Liu Yifei was a little flustered, but quickly calmed down again, thought about it a little, and spoke.

"I have a good impression of him, I don't deny this, I remember saying at the Tianlong Babu press conference that if I have plans to fall in love in the future, the first choice is Bai Yutang,

If this reporter had paid attention to my interviews before, he would not have asked such a cliché question today..."

Liu Yifei is not a person who hides and tucks away, she has always said something.

Especially now that there is a way back, she has no scruples when she speaks.

The reporter was a little embarrassed, he hadn't paid attention to Liu Yifei before, after all, the other party's first drama Jin Fan Family had just been broadcast, and it was already quite bad for him to know Liu Yifei now.

"Okay, then I'm fine"

As a journalist, it's an essential quality for him to do things on his own.
