At the end of the screening, the audience quickly applauded and cheered. The hosts, Meng Fei and Li Ai, returned to the stage.

"Is the movie good?" Meng Fei asked everyone.

"Beautiful!" A lot of people shouted. Meng Fei said: "Oh, it's really exciting, everyone has done a great job. Li Ai said: "Yes, envy, jealousy and hatred, I also want to appear in such a movie!" ”

"Then you have to discuss it with the director, and then replace Gao Meiyuan."

"Hahaha, then I don't dare, and I can't compare. I don't deserve the title of 'Chinatown's No. 1 Beauty." Everyone looked at it with a smile, and Gao Meiyuan, whose name was read, also covered her mouth and smiled happily in the audience.

I can't help but be happy, because I feel that the movie is very good, and I still look good in the play.

I have to say that this man has made another good movie! Then the host invited all the creators to come to the stage and let them accept everyone's questions.

So Li Jingkun, Huang Baoqiang, Bai Jingting, Gao Meiyuan, Xiao Yang, Cheng He, Song Zufan, Xiao Shenyang and others all walked up.

At the beginning, Li Jingkun received the most questions, and then most of the others were asked one or two questions.

"I want to ask the director why he chose to make such a story in the first place."

"One is what I said before, I've made a lot of youth films, so I plan to change the theme; The other is that I've always liked detective or suspense movies, but if they are too serious and not interesting enough, I add a comedy element. ”

"So when you wrote the script, you used Huang Baoqiang as the prototype?"

"Hahaha, yes, basically the character of 'Tang Ren' is described in his image, so it is natural to substitute his tone and actions and so on. Now that the movie is out, I also think his performance is very good, 'Tang Ren' is him, he is 'Tang Ren'. ”

"Hello director, good creators, I want to ask the director, the last shot is the picture of them going to the United States, does it mean that there is a second part later?"

"Yes, if all goes well, there will be at least three productions of Eucalyptus Chinatown, which was determined at the beginning of the creation period, so there will be a sequel." After the others had answered one or two questions, another beautiful woman raised her hand; Meng Fei and Li Ai both laughed, and Meng Fei said, "Okay, now hand the microphone to that beautiful woman—okay, thank you, may I ask Mao Xiaotong any questions?" "Yes, this time it was Mao Xiaotong who stood up in a princess dress, very cute and beautiful.

So many viewers who knew her cheered loudly, after all, she just finished broadcasting "Suddenly This Summer" a while ago, and the ratings of the second and third rounds were also good, so she is quite well-known now, and she has a lot of fans.

Mao Xiaotong said with a smile: "I want to ask the director, you have starred in "Introduction to Architecture" and "Positive Physique" before, and you also acted quite well, why didn't you appear this time?" Meng Fei nodded: "Okay, that's a good question, now let's see what the director has to say." Li Jingkun said: "Actually, this question is very simple, after all, this is a comedy, and the director is too handsome, I'm afraid you will play ······ then." Before Li Jingkun finished speaking, many people began to cheer; At the same time, many people couldn't help but laugh.

And his words not only caused a response from the audience, but also several actors on the stage became dry.

Cheng He said: "That's not right, so it's easy for the audience to see me playing, after all, I'm so handsome·······" Xiao Yang retorted: "If you want to say that handsome, I should be a little more handsome than you, right?" Cheng He said, "Are you blind?" ”

"Are you blind?"

"I said, where do you get your confidence?"

"Where do you get your confidence?" The two on the stage again

"pinched", which reminds people of the two in the play

The relationship like "enemies", so they couldn't help laughing. Then another man stood up, he took the microphone and said: "Hello, I am Zhang Zhiliang, a reporter for "Popular Film and Television" magazine, "Chinatown Detective" is obviously a very good movie, I personally like it very much, the reasoning part is also excellent, to be honest, the overall quality is a bit beyond my expectations. However, I also participated in the premiere of Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West" a while ago, and I have to say that it is also a very good work, and Zhou Xingxing's creative ability is still very strong. So what I want to ask the director is, do you have any concerns about box office results? Won't the simultaneous release of two blockbusters during the Spring Festival cause a lose-lose situation? As soon as this question came out, the joyful and brisk atmosphere at the scene was somewhat restrained, after all, this is a very realistic and real problem.

And the popularity of the two movies is also very great these days; It was clear to everyone present that the two works were now in competition.

In the past Spring Festival stalls, the box office market was not high. So if most of the audience chooses to watch "Journey to the West", the box office of "Chinatown" will definitely be greatly affected.

And judging from the recent feedback from public opinion, this probability is not small, after all, Zhou Xingxing's appeal is too great.

Many people on the Internet said that they owed him a movie ticket, and they all said that they would pay it back during the Spring Festival. Therefore, it is normal to worry about being dominated by the other party and being killed by the winner.

However, unlike others' worried expressions, Li Jingkun was quite calm, he picked up the microphone and said: "I think your question is really good, maybe this is also one of the things that my partners, my friends, and even my fans have been worried about recently." After all, who wouldn't love Zhou Xingxing's movie? Including me, too. But I'm not worried at all that the box office will not look good, I'm more optimistic than everyone else; Because I don't think it's a result of who will beat whom, but a scenario where 1+1 is greater than 2. That is, we will achieve each other, complement each other, and make the Spring Festival stalls bigger and successful together. After all, both of us can be said to be family movies, both of which bring joy to everyone during the Chinese New Year, and I don't think everyone would mind taking turns watching the two movies together. Even the audience who likes it very much may brush it a second or third time. Zhang Zhiliang's question was good, and Li Jingkun's answer was also very beautiful.

Therefore, many people applauded, and Zhang Zhili also said a word

"Thank you" before sitting down. Many people laughed again under Li Jingkun's confidence; But there are also many people who don't fully believe his words.

thinks that he is just calm on the surface, after all, he is a director and the person in charge of the project, and he must not be the first to lose confidence.

And said that everyone will brush two or three times······ It feels a bit too optimistic, and not many people usually do that.

The time to ask questions was almost over, but I didn't expect Li Jingkun to add a temporary project, that is, he wanted to ask Mao Xiaotong to come up and say a few words.

There are a lot of big names coming tonight, and there are also a lot of beauties, Da Mimi, Liu Tianxian and others are all actresses who can get hot topics tomorrow.

I also queused Da Mimi just now and let her stand up and interact. It's just that I haven't invited any guests to the stage yet.

When she first beckoned Mao Xiaotong to come up, she sat there shaking her head and waving her hands, indicating that she didn't want to come up.

But Li Jingkun didn't give up, and directly called her name: "Mao Xiaotong, please come up." The audience didn't know why, but it didn't affect their heckling.

Mao Xiaotong shouted: "I have no problem. Li Jingkun took the microphone and said, "Hurry up, come up and say a few words-don't force me to be hard!" Everyone laughed, and Mao Xiaotong also covered his forehead and laughed speechlessly.

In the end, she had no choice but to lift the hem of her skirt and walk up the stage from the audience. She is wearing an off-white dress tonight, walking in the style of a little princess, her skin is still so white and bright, and her face is still delicate and cute.

After coming to the stage, she was arranged to stand next to Li Jingkun. At this time, everyone's attention was also on the two of them, because they all wanted to know what Li Jingkun was going to do when he called her up.

I saw Li Jingkun say, "Come, let me reintroduce it to you." Meng Fei said, "Oh, Xiaotong still needs to be introduced?" Li Jingkun said: "Yes, and I have to introduce it ceremoniously." Li Ai smiled and said, "Huh? You're not going to make an official announcement, are you? The audience was in an uproar, and then there was a loud uproar.

Mao Xiaotong blushed even more, covering her mouth and laughing there - to be honest, she didn't know why she was called.

However, everyone saw Li Jingkun so solemn, and there were really many people who thought it was this answer.

"Wouldn't it? Are they together? ”

"Huh? When did it happen? ”

"Is this true? Zeng Xiaoxian? ”

"How do I know, big sister."

"Didn't you just say you knew each other?"

“····· In the two months of filming, I haven't seen Mao Xiaotong appear? As soon as this speculation came out, many people were extremely surprised.

Even Gao Meiyuan on the stage had to look at Mao Xiaotong again. However, Li Jingkun quickly broke everyone's speculation, he said: "No, in fact, I want to thank her here, and at the same time introduce to you - in fact, Xiaotong can be said to be one of the investors in this movie." ”

"Huh?" These are even more unclear to everyone, thank her? Why? And it has to be a grand thanksgiving?

Also, doesn't it mean that the investors only have Longqi Film and Television and Shangyue TV? Why is there another one? Several high-level executives of Yueshi in the audience were also a little puzzled, after all, there was no name of Mao Xiaotong or Mao Xiaotong's brokerage company in the contract.

Li Jingkun said: "Many people may know that it was very difficult for me to attract investment in this movie, but in the end, Yueshi supported it and invested tens of millions of dollars. But there is still a gap of tens of millions, because the income from our last movie is okay, so I plan to pay all the rest by myself, and if it is not enough, I will take out a loan; But in the end, I found out that there was still a difference of 10 million, and then Xiaotong said that she paid ······ 10 million." Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Mao Xiaotong had an investment of 10 million in this movie?

"I was very moved and a little scared, because 10 million is not a small amount." Li Jingkun said.

Yes, it's not easy to find someone to borrow money these days, let alone such a high amount. Not to mention ordinary people, even the celebrities present, even if some of them are worth hundreds of millions, it is impossible to lend 10 million to others casually.

In other words, it is not so easy for ordinary people to borrow 2,000 yuan from others······ However, Li Jingkun said that it is understandable to be moved, why is he afraid?

Meng Fei is a good follower, and he asked everyone's question. Li Jingkun said: "Because this amount is too large, 10 million - I once wondered if she wanted to support me." ”

"Poof!" Everyone laughed, and Mao Xiaotong kicked him angrily. No one expected that the atmosphere of sighing and moving so much just now would burst into him at once.

Several actresses in the audience also laughed a little speechlessly. Li Jingkun continued: "Later, she said that she had confidence in my film and my script, so she lent me the money. I also reciprocated her trust, saying that if she made money, she would be considered a shareholder, and she would receive dividends at that time; If I lose money, I won't give the interest, and I can repay the principal directly. Only then did everyone fully understand what he meant by calling Mao Xiaotong up, it turned out that he wanted to thank her for her kindness and kindness in knowing people.

So they all offered applause. However, insiders must have different minds, celebrities borrow money, this is not something worth showing off.

So Li Jingkun even took out this kind of humiliating thing for the sake of the movie, for publicity, and for eyeballs?

Well, it seems that "Journey to the West" has recently been firing the news that the heroine Shu Qi is secretly married······ For the sake of hundreds of millions of yuan of business, everyone has opened up everything that should be released.

Finally, all the main creators took a group photo on stage. Mao Xiaotong also became one of them. Then the camera turned around again, and I also took a picture with all the audience friends present.

······ After the premiere, the general audience event ends; However, the media and guests can continue to participate in the post-screening networking reception.

After all, it's time for dinner, and at least you have to take care of a meal. As the biggest protagonist tonight, Li Jingkun is naturally very busy, there are a lot of people who need to be entertained, and there are also a lot of people around.

However, Han Shanye is here, so he must be with him first.

"I've also watched Zhou Xingxing's movie, it's very good, there are a lot of brilliant places, we really can't take it lightly." Han Shanye said.

"I understood that we might lose out in terms of fame and influence, so we had to work harder on publicity, so we held a few roadshows before the release; The roadshow will also start soon after the release, this time we are planning for 16 days, and if the box office results are good, we will apply for a key extension, and then extend the roadshow for another 10 days. Li Jingkun said.

Don't look at the roadshow, it's not long, it's actually quite tiring, because most of the time is on the road. And by then, not all the actors will be able to finish the roadshow, one is tired, and the other is that they may have other arrangements.

If he wants to run through these cities, he will have to rely on himself. Of course, Bai Jingting and Xiao Yang are their own signed artists after all, and they will definitely run for a few more days.

Although the roadshow is tiring, the effect will be very good. This is also an advantage of his foresight. Most people don't realize the benefits of a roadshow at the moment, even though he demonstrated it once in Introduction to Architecture last time.

But because not many people have personally experienced its goodness, not many people still pay attention to this propaganda method.

Including Zhou Xingxing, too. He didn't start the roadshow until the release of "Mermaid", and it was the kind of crazy roadshow.

"Do you want to extend the key? Then you're pretty confident. ”

"It's okay, you have to be prepared for good or bad."

"It's also good," Han Shanye paused,

"When will the second part be arranged?" Li Jingkun said: "It's not so fast, at least wait for two or three years." ”

"Does it take that long?"

"One is that it takes time to create, one is that the interest is temporarily attracted by other themes, and the other is that waiting for two or three more years is also good for the film. Wait a few more years, and then the fans of this movie will accumulate more and more, and their expectations will be higher, and the box office may be more explosive. Han Shanye nodded: "So the next movie is also planned?" Li Jingkun said: "I have an idea, but I haven't made a final decision yet. It will most likely be a low-to-medium budget work. "It means that maybe Longqi Film and Television can get the full amount of money by itself, or it is enough to add one or two investors at most.

And if "Chinatown Explorer" is successful, Longqi Film and Television and Li Jingkun will have a greater say at that time, and investors may get more funds than before in order to get the same proportion of dividends as before.

Han Shanye said: "It's okay, we have always cooperated very happily, and we can continue to communicate and cooperate more in the future." "After separating from Han Shanye, Li Jingkun's second wave of contacts was from the Perfect Planet.

The topic of conversation is similar, first of all, to congratulate him on the success of his new film, and then to talk about "Hummingbird" to enhance the relationship, and finally return to the topic, hoping to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future.

Today's event is relatively large, and there are many people coming, of course, it is impossible for him to entertain them all alone.

The general manager of Longqi Film and Television, several deputy general managers and other high-level executives were naturally also present, and they would come over to tell him about any more important situations on the way.

Then it was easier to chat with the female artist, and she was photographed a few times by Mao Xiaotong, saying that if she wanted to talk about it today, she wouldn't tell her in advance.

Wan Qian, Zhou Dongyu, Yang Zini, Gu Xiaona, Li Xian, Zhu Yinlong and others didn't have much time to pay attention to them, just say hello when they see them.

Sun Honglei, Huang Sanshi, and Xu Haofeng chatted a few more words. There are also several leading actors in "Love Apartment", because I liked this drama very much for a while, so I naturally liked these actors, so I also chatted for a while.

I haven't seen Da Mimi for a long time, but this woman quickly led the topic to the movie version of "The Year in a Hurry".

"I didn't intervene much in this movie, and I only needed one actor before."

"Isn't the copyright in your hands? Why don't you make your own? Or maybe you can work with us. We don't want much, just a heroine. Li Jingkun said: "Cooperate with you? Do you have a team for Pony Gallop? Are there any big-name directors? Is there a distribution channel? "And, if I did work with you, would you just want the role of a heroine?

That is, you can't get it now, and the requirements are relatively low. Da Mimi said: "Wow, okay, now you look down on our company, right?" Li Jingkun said: "The director of "The Year in a Hurry" is Zhang Yibai, and they also got the script, and the shooting team was also formed by them, basically speaking, they are responsible for 780% of the production of the movie version. What can you do if we work with you? Just one or two actresses? ”

“······ It's not that you can't hire someone. Besides, can't you make your own too? ”

"Of course, we can make it ourselves, but if we do it ourselves, why work with your company? You don't have much to offer when it comes to movies, do you? ”

“······ So today I'm here to help you stand on the platform, and you're just scolding me like that? "Well, this woman is going to start cheating.

Li Jingkun said: "We have promised not to interfere in the arrangement of other roles in this movie, and the heroine should have been determined, if nothing else, Nini will play the role." Da Mimi was helpless: "Okay, what about the TV series?" Li Jingkun said: "The TV series version of "The Year in a Hurry" is gone, the actors are all confirmed, and it will be started after a while. And I guess you're not very interested, right? This is a web series. ”

“······ Then next time, remember to think more about me and my family's artists. ”

"Yes, resource exchange, mutual recommendation." Li Jingkun is still quite interested in "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", not to mention anything else, at least stuff Gu Xiaona into it.

With her current coffee position, it's okay to play a second girl, right? It's chilling to give you a big honey match, right? If he can, Zhu Yinlong can also play a role, three men and four men can do it, and the second male will not refuse.

"The Legend of the Ancient Sword? Cortana? It's not impossible, my opinion is quite useful, but I have to look at the meaning of the director and producer. Li Jingkun nodded: "It's okay, the audition that should be auditioned, the meeting that should meet, find a time to make an appointment for us." We can also bring money into the group. Da Mimi was a little surprised: "Still bring capital into the group?" Are you so good to your own artists? ”

"There's no way, there is currently a female artist in my family, who is good for her? By the way, I will also help to see if there are any roles of two men and three men, our Zhu Yinlong is also very handsome, and he is also very suitable for playing ancient costumes. ”

"......" Da Mimi is a little suspicious of life, and no matter how she thinks about it, she feels wrong. Today, it's obvious that she wants to come to find some movie resources and relationships, why can't she find the resources, and she has to take some more into it?

······ Of course, Liu Tianxian can't miss it, but their mother and daughter haven't stayed for long, and they will soon say goodbye to him.

Liu's mother said: "If you have the opportunity, you can also cooperate with our Qianqian, she is very serious and dedicated to acting." "Mother Liu also has to admit that today's movie is excellent.

And

"Chinatown's No. 1 Beauty"? I feel that there is no problem for her daughter to star. Although there are not many heroines in this play.

Li Jingkun said: "Definitely, there will definitely be opportunities in the future." Then Liu Tianxian also spoke: "The movie is very good-looking, and the results will definitely be very good!" Li Jingkun said: "Thank you, and I'm sorry for you today." ”

"It's okay, I just happened to be idle lately, so I also want to watch a new movie to relax; And not only did I watch a good movie today, but I also had a lot of friends here, and I had a good chat just now. ”

"That's good, I'm still afraid that the hospitality will not be good, I've been very busy, there are so many people, I can't take care of everyone."

"It's okay, I can understand, as a director and boss must be busy; I just saw it all. The people around me have never been broken. ”

"Haha, I'm a little busier before and after the release, and sometimes I feel more tired than when I'm shooting."

"Yes, it's sometimes tiring to socialize with people." Liu Tianxian glanced at his mother and felt that he couldn't keep chatting like this, so he waved his hand to him: "Then let's do this first, we have to go back." Bye. ”

"Okay, bye-bye. Auntie, senior sister, you are good to go. Mother Liu and Liu Tianxian walked out together, and they greeted people they met during the process.

"No need to send it, we'll just go back ourselves."

"It's okay, just send it to the elevator." Liu Tianxian suddenly whispered to him: "Anyway, we are also friends, right?" Is it appropriate to always call me senior sister? Just call me by name. ”

“······ Good. The elevator arrived quickly, and the two walked in and waved goodbye again.

·······

"The premiere of "Eucalyptus in Chinatown" is dazzling, and the star directors are all holding a family carnival!"

"At the premiere of "Exploration of Chinatown", Liu Tianxian came to help!"

"Da Mi Mi appeared at the premiere and stood on the platform for "Eucalyptus Chinatown"!"

"At the premiere of "Exploration of Chinatown", Li Jingkun revealed that he borrowed money to film!"

"Li Jingkun is not afraid of Zhou Xingxing, and he made bold statements at the premiere!" After the premiere, there was no need to wait until the next day, and a lot of information came out that night; After all, this is the age of new media.

There are also many explosive points in this event, such as Han Shanye, Liu Tianxian, Da Mimi and others, such as Li Jingkun revealed that he borrowed 10 million from Mao Xiaotong to make a movie; For example, the quality of the movie is unexpected, and so on.

So it quickly occupied the hot topics of major websites; At the same time, many movie reviews have also been posted, naturally a bunch of praises and surprises and so on.

Zhou Xingxing also saw these news the next day, after all, everyone now knows that their two blockbusters will be in the Spring Festival

"Fighting", it's hard to think about it. The people around him naturally paid close attention to each other's dynamics, and quickly told him about some of the things that happened at yesterday's premiere.

"Li Jingkun is not afraid of Zhou Xingxing, he made bold statements at the premiere", he also saw this report, in fact, Li Jingkun's original words were that he wanted to make the Spring Festival file bigger and stronger with Zhou Xingxing, and he didn't mean to fight with him at all.

"This young man is quite smart." Zhou Xingxing is talking about the other party's choice of the Spring Festival; Even if someone else suggested it to Li Jingkun at the beginning, as a talker, he can listen to the opinions of others and choose this schedule to be released, which is quite courageous.

And he is not afraid of him Zhou Xingxing, and he will not raise the file or postpone, which can be said to be quite courageous. But even though there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, in the end, Zhou Xingxing only said one or two sentences: "Let's just do our best." ”······ Of course, the scarf is also very lively these days, and the official scarf of "Eucalyptus Chinatown" is updated at least three or five times a day, and many pictures of the scene have been posted after the premiere.

Liu Tianxian, Da Mimi, Gao Meiyuan, Mao Xiaotong and others are naturally the key targets of rubbing traffic, after all, they are relatively popular; The scarf with information about them is also relatively hot.

Although Liu Tianxian has not yet opened the salary wave scarf, there are her fans everywhere, and it does not affect the popularity of the filmmaker to borrow her.

And those who opened the bib naturally forwarded their beautiful photos, and also left a message to support the new movie and interact.

Mao Xiaotong's scarf is also a lot more lively, because many people know about her lending money to Li Jingkun, which means that she also has a share of the credit for the successful filming of "Exploration of Chinatown".

So a lot of people ran to her side to leave her a message and call her

"Big rich woman", praise her very much

"Righteousness" and

Words like "begging for support".

"Although I haven't seen this movie yet, I still admire that you can come up with so much money to support him!"

"Ten million, that's not a small amount!"

"I've really been interested in this movie recently, and I really want to see this movie released right away!" Then, some senior fans wrote a small article analyzing the gossip history of Mao Xiaotong and Li Jingkun, speculating that they had an ulterior relationship.

"Oh, it's too unreasonable for this to be officially announced! Because I feel that the relationship between the two is not ordinarily good! At the beginning, the two worked together in "Introduction to Architecture", and it stands to reason that Mao Xiaotong only played a supporting role at that time, and the two should not spend much time with each other in the crew, right? But in the end, it turned out to be so familiar, I thought something must have happened in between! Then suddenly they cooperated again, and this time they directly gave her the script of the heroine of the TV series! This is the first TV series directed by Li Jingkun, Mao Xiaotong has not played the heroine before, right? Why did you choose her all of a sudden? Isn't Gu Xiaona, or someone else, inappropriate? I can't see it, can I? I believe many people still remember how much popularity "Suddenly This Summer" caused before, and it is still very popular on the Internet. It can be said that this drama gave Mao Xiaotong the confidence and strength to continue to play other heroines; Her current fame and number of fans are also very telling. So such an excellent TV series, why don't you shoot it for your own artists, but for an outsider? Finally, it's a recent incident, about "Exploring Chinatown", what kind of relationship can make a girl lend so much money to a boy? And although Mao Xiaotong debuted very early, the heroine basically didn't have it, so could this 10 million be all her savings over the years? An ordinary friend relationship would make her spend all her savings to support a man's film career? Let's ask yourself, even if you have so much money yourself, you don't need 10 million, if you only have 100,000 yuan, will you lend it all to your friends for business? I don't see how many people can do it, can they?······ So, my conclusion is that there is a good probability that they are indeed together······"·······
