Chapter 256 Premiere [Part 1]
At 6 a.m. on February 14th, backstage at Haidian Cinema.
Xu Kun sat in front of the dressing table, letting the makeup artist dress up while listening to the staff's final confirmation process.
"...After going to the bathroom at 7:30, there is a fifteen-minute makeup retouching session."
"The warm-up singer is Daolang. After half an hour of media interaction, you and Daolang will sing "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" together..."
"etc!"
When Xu Kun heard this, he frowned and said, "Hasn't this paragraph been changed?"
"Changed?"
"If Bao Qiang and I were to sing a duet, can I keep up with Daolang's level? Bao Qiang and I would sing a duet, and he would be responsible for the out-of-tune and I would be responsible for stringing together the lyrics. It's half-assed and has a comedic effect."
The staff sent by Huayi hurriedly wrote this down in a notebook, and apologized to Xu Kun repeatedly, saying that they did not do their job well.
"It's okay, just keep talking."
"Next, you...and Brother Baoqiang will draw a lottery and distribute gifts to the lucky audience - considering that most of the real audience are your fans, we also prepared another song "Farewell My Concubine"."
Xu Kun is quite confident about this song. It's one thing that it's low in difficulty. The main reason is that he earned two houses with "Conquer" and "Farewell My Concubine" back then. These two songs are still fresh in his memory.
"Next, Sister Shi Shi comes on stage to sing "Invisible Wings", and then..."
As soon as the staff said this, a large group of people came in from outside, led by Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Ge You, and Feng Xiaogang.
Followed by Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Ren aldehyde...
Anyway, almost all the remaining stars in Huayi are here, except Huo Siyan, Qin Lan, and Xiong Naijin - the three of them arrived early in the morning and are currently accompanying Liu Shishi in the actress's dressing room.
Although Liu Shishi only contributed one photo and one scene in the entire movie, she is still the undisputed heroine of the movie.
But when he saw this battle, Xu Kun immediately wanted to get up and greet him.
"Don't move, don't move!"
Wang Zhongjun took two steps forward, held him down, and said with a smile: "Today you are taking the stage to play the leading role. We are all family members, and we don't have so many etiquette. You should save this energy for a while to deal with outsiders." Bar."
Not to mention that once a person becomes famous, he will be surrounded by good people - not to mention the calculations behind his back, at least in front of him they are all good people.
In the past, Xu Kun always dealt with Wang Zhonglei, but now it is no longer false to face Wang Zhongjun directly.
He first greeted Ge You and Feng Xiaogang, and then started joking with everyone.
There was a lot of noise here and could be heard in the women's dressing room next door, so Xiong Naijin volunteered to come over to investigate. As a result, he poked his head through the door frame and saw Brother Kun sitting and Xiao Wang standing, both of them chatting. What a joy.
Mr. Wang, who usually speaks his mind in Huayi, is full of auspicious words at this time. He has no feeling at all about the superiors towards the inferiors or the elders towards the juniors.
This shocked Xiong Naijin. When he went back and told Huo Siyan and Qin Lan, they both felt the same way, but they had completely opposite thoughts.
What Huo Siyan thought was, 'This is what a man should do'.
What Qin Lan was thinking was, 'Brother Kun is really amazing'.
At this time, Song Xingxuan, Yang Lixin, and He Bing also arrived, as well as Pu Cunxi and Liang Pangpang, who became famous for starring in Dee Renjie.
When there were so many people, there was no room in the dressing room, and it also delayed Xu Kun's makeup, so Ge You, as an elder, led everyone into the conference room.
Fan Bingbing deliberately stayed two steps behind. After others left, she stepped forward and patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and said, "Director Xu Da, have you read the script I sent you?"
"Look, look."
Xu Kun said perfunctorily: "Although I have been very busy recently, I will definitely take time to read the script you gave me, Sister Bingbing."
"So what do you think of the script? Do you want to take it?"
"this……"
Xu Kun actually didn't want to take it. After all, this drama is a bit similar to the original "Green Red". The movie is called "Apple" and the heroine is also named Apple.
To put it bluntly, the main role is on the heroine, and the boss of the foot washing city played by Xu Kun is not even the male lead, but the second male lead - of course, he would not play the male lead, and the second male lead can at least be compared with Fan Bingbing performs an intimate scene, but if it were the male protagonist, he would have to have a passionate exchange with the landlady of the Foot Washing City.
So he said perfunctorily: "The script must be a good one, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to act well, and these days..." "I'm not that anxious."
Fan Bingbing interrupted Xu Kun and said: "This movie was originally about Liang Jiahui, but he hit the bus again while driving drunk at the end of last year, and this time he also beat the bus driver. Now he has just been sentenced to three years. Probation—Originally, the director wanted to wait until the crisis had passed before filming next year, but it was with great difficulty that I convinced the director to let her give you this role!”
Liang Jiahui may have a grudge against the bus. In 2002, he drove drunk and hit a bus and a private car. In 2005, he drove drunk again and hit a bus. He also beat the bus driver. He was eventually sentenced to two months in jail and suspended for three years. .
That is to say, the environment in the entertainment industry has been relatively relaxed in recent years. Otherwise, he and the other were short and tight, and they would have been judged as bad artists long ago.
But when Xu Kun heard that Fan Bingbing was moving out of Liang Jiahui, Xu Kun was about to get off the slope, thinking that he was no match for Liang Jiahui. Fan Bingbing patted him on the shoulder three more times, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry yet. "After your movie becomes a hit, we will sit down and discuss cooperation in detail."
With that said, he left alone.
After Fan Bingbing left, Xu Kun raised his hand and touched his earlobe. Just now, when the makeup artist and staff couldn't see it, Fan Bingbing raised her little finger and flicked his earlobe several times.
Coupled with those three pats on the shoulder...
Could it be that she was hinting to herself that she would go through the back door at midnight?
But if I think about it more carefully, her hint may need to be promised to film "Apple" before it can be fulfilled.
Is it worth it?
"Brother Kun~"
At this time, Shen Teng nodded and hunched over very awkwardly: "If you are not busy, let's go through the interview process first?"
Shen Teng was excited and nervous as the host of the premiere this time.
The main reason is that the process is too tight. The premiere will be held in the morning and it will be released simultaneously across the country in the afternoon.
This is mainly to prevent piracy. Piracy is so rampant now. If it premieres first and is released nationwide a few days later, as in later generations, then there will probably be sellers at the door of the cinema, and there will be links everywhere on the Internet.
"You tell it from the beginning, and I'll listen and see if there's anything that needs to be modified."
Xu Kun retracted his agitated heart. Women can do it at any time. The most important thing at the moment is the premiere of "On the Road".
"Then please listen to my opening remarks first, cough, um, cough - ah~ Distinguished guests, here..."
Just as Shen Teng started to raise his voice, Bao Qiang suddenly ran in and said, "Brother Kun, it's snowing outside!"
"Good sign!"
Shen Teng immediately changed his mind and extended his thumbs up exaggeratedly: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year, which indicates that our movie will definitely be popular!"
Xu Kun thought for a while and asked Baoqiang: "Are there many fans outside?"
"Many, at least a thousand people. I heard that people queued up at midnight last night!"
It's not yet seven o'clock, and there will definitely be a lot of people gathered at eight or nine o'clock. There are only 300 general audience tickets for the premiere, and the remaining 500 or so tickets are all given to related households and media.
This means that most people have to freeze outside all morning and can't go in to watch the movie until 12:30.
But now it's snowing again...
"Baoqiang, go tell Brother Chen and ask him to send people to nearby stores to scan the goods. Buy as many down vests, cotton vests, and cloth vests as you can. After you buy them, make a simple count and give them to the fans outside. Send it on."
Baoqiang agreed and turned away.
Not long after, Chen Xuebin led Baoqiang back and asked, "We have invested so much money, do you want someone to take a photo of it for publicity?"
"No need!"
Xu Kun waved his hand and said: "This is not the past. There is no need for the media to take pictures of such things. People who are interested will put the news online - the news uploaded by fans spontaneously is better than us deliberately taking pictures for publicity."
Hearing what he said, Chen Xuebin nodded and said with emotion: "It is indeed different. The E era mentioned on TV is really coming this time."
After the incident of sponsoring students on the fifth day of the fifth grade of junior high school, Chen Xuebin complained that Xu Kun wasted a good publicity opportunity.
Who would have known that the more suppressed it was to prevent publicity, the faster the news would spread on the Internet, which moved all the 'Ai Kun' people to death, and even Xu Kun's popularity on the Internet became much better.
