Chapter 215 World Premiere!
January 15th.
It snowed again in Yanjing.
It was white, wrapped in a whistling and biting wind.
It snowed all night and stopped in the early morning.
The sign with Tom was taken down.
A famous novel critic, the head of NC International Film and Television Copyright Department, the special guest of the Lisenberg International Film Association Academy Awards...
Countless names that once dazzled the guests and were blown to the sky by Meng Shurong were finally torn into pieces and thrown into the garbage truck of the sanitation workers in the early morning.
In the blank space, there was a large poster, all of which were the latest exquisite model houses of [Oubang Integrated Ceiling].
Each model house seemed to be a mature work of art, shining under the morning sun.
It was a work from abroad.
It was the first time that the Chinese integrated ceiling industry went overseas, participated in an exhibition, and held an event...
The snow stopped.
The white snow at the entrance of the street was so vast that it was dazzling.
Customers came in one after another. When they came in, they first took a look at the exquisite model house outside the window, and then several old customers asked why the spokesperson had changed.
The boss lady Li Aifeng smiled very sincerely.
"In the past, for publicity, we found a foreigner to fill the storefront. Now that our brand has gone overseas and is truly well-known internationally, we don't need the so-called storefront..."
"Sorry..."
Li Aifeng's sincere voice made many old customers stunned at first. They should have been annoyed, but after seeing the boss lady's sincere appearance, they actually didn't feel angry in their hearts, but laughed instead.
They looked at a place not far away.
Not far away on the roadside.
Trucks were parked one after another, and workers were busy loading goods to Brazil.
The four Chinese characters "Oubang International" were particularly eye-catching.
"So, your [Oubang International] means this, haha, but that's right, our Huaxia is also international..."
Sincerity is always a killer move.
Li Aifeng talked about the story when they started their business...
The story is bitter and interesting.
After listening to the story, the guests couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
Amidst the laughter, Li Aifeng enthusiastically invited the guests in to introduce the products...
There was a cold wind outside the house.
But the number of guests did not decrease because of the cold weather.
Instead, they came in an endless stream. Every guest was surprised by the new poster, but they didn't care about the lack of a spokesperson for [Oubang].
They just looked at the overseas model houses, the cars exported to Brazil, and the words [Oubang International]...
Then, they signed the bill and took a movie ticket for "That Summer"...
……………………………………
Ke Zhanchi became more and more tired.
There was a feeling of anxiety in his heart.
These days.
He ran all over the country.
His whole mood seemed to fluctuate with the heat of "That Summer".
When "That Summer" became a hot search, he was so excited that he could not restrain himself...
Especially a few days ago, "That Summer" became popular with the news that "The Dog Beyond the Mountain" was invited to the Berlin International Film Festival. More and more theaters finally began to pay attention to this movie, and then, from the initial screening in 120 theaters across the country, to 150, and then to 160...
He felt that every cell in his body was trembling, as if he had endless power.
But...
The noise on the Internet is short-lived.
The title of "People are worse than dogs" can stimulate the nerves of netizens, but it is very short-lived. After the novelty is over, they are quickly attracted by other hot spots.
Ke Zhanchi didn't know when the love affair between Zhen Jinfu, the male lead of "Wing Chun", and a certain female star became a hot search...
I only know that when I got up the next day and checked Weibo, I found overwhelming "exposure", "love affair", "shock", "secret marriage and childbirth"...
"That Summer" was squeezed out of the top ten...
Even the news that "The Dog Beyond the Mountain" was shortlisted for Berlin was completely suppressed.
Then...
There is less and less news about "That Summer".
The craze has subsided, and the release date of "That Summer" is getting closer and closer, so Ke Zhanchi began to get anxious.
He once abandoned everything and brought "Youth in the Prime of Life" here, paying a great price, and letting "Youth in the Prime of Life" shine in obscurity.
He stood under the shining light, and was briefly lost, and also looked forward to what he would be like in the future.
He thought about filming "1949", thinking about becoming a big director, thinking about ascending to the sky in one step, standing on the foothold in [Starlight Future], having a say, and being able to compete with other six generations of directors.
Then...
In the capital struggle, he became the unlucky one. Indistinctly, he actually heard some people who despised youth directors. Well, someone reported that he had a bad background. How could a director who shoots youth-themed movies be qualified to shoot main-theme movies?
Isn't this a joke!
A joke?
It's a joke. In this month, he was laughed at by netizens...
Laughing at him for losing to a dog.
Angry!
But the tiny anger is not worth mentioning in the game of capital.
"Can I win this battle?"
The night of January 19.
Ten hours before the release of "That Summer".
Ke Zhanchi drank wine and looked at Zhang Sheng next to him.
Zhang Sheng did not speak, but handed him a piece of data.
The data is the towns and cities he visited in the past month...
Their premiere tickets are great.
All sold out!
Their pre-sale tickets for the next day are also great!
Especially in some towns and villages, almost all the tickets for "That Summer" were sold out!
This good-looking data could not excite or excite Ke Zhanyi's inner emotions.
Those tickets...
Most of them are provided by cooperating brands at half price or as gifts in the form of activities.
They only last two days of good data.
But two days later...
No one knows what will happen.
He was worried about the pre-sale tickets for tonight...
Tonight’s pre-sale tickets are for the third day.
"I'm ready to move the company out!"
In the cold wind.
Zhang Sheng looked at Ke Zhanyi.
Asked an irrelevant question.
"ah?"
"[NC Studio] is a little too small for us now. Everyone is crowded into a corner, it's too crowded..."
"Oh, where are you going to move?"
"Let's rent a two-story office building. The rent is about 200,000 yuan a year..."
"oh."
Ke Zhanyi nodded dully, as if he was a puppet.
anxiety.
It still lingered deeply in his mind, and he even dared not look at the pre-sale situation on the third day of "That Summer" a few hours later...
He seemed to understand what Zhang Sheng said next, but he didn't listen to any of it.
He was just drinking glass after glass.
Then……
I fell asleep while drinking.
Vaguely, he listened to Zhang Sheng saying that he would set up a film company and produce some low-cost movies to try out...
He also heard Zhang Sheng talking to him about the plan for a movie. It vaguely sounded like a horror movie related to video, but Zhang Sheng didn't seem to speak clearly, the characters were vague, and there was only a rough plot. .
He listened and listened...
Finally unable to resist the exhaustion of the past few days, he fell into sleep.
Vaguely...
I don’t know if it’s the scary stories Zhang Sheng told him before drinking, or if it’s because he’s mentally exhausted, and the horrific shadow of his childhood is lingering in his mind.
Then……
He dreamed that he was sitting in front of a blurry TV...
A well appeared on the TV, and that well was eerie and terrifying.
Then……
He watched a woman with disheveled hair climb out of the well little by little...
He actually climbed out of the TV...
Then, the rotten, dripping smell all around makes you retching.
Pull out your hair!
He actually saw the back of a head.
Then……
Darkness, haze, knocked on his heart, his heart was trembling, fear spread like water in the room, making him want to escape like crazy...
but……
He can't escape.
He heard bursts of weird laughter ringing around him.
Vaguely like a child.
Harsh, but increasingly cold.
A pair of hands stretched out from all directions, grabbing his body...
It seemed like it was going to tear him apart.
Then……
He suddenly woke up with even weirder laughter and a pair of hands pulling at him!
After waking up, he found himself lying in a rental house, with his girlfriend Jiang Xiaoyou looking at him anxiously.
"Get up, the premiere time is coming soon. If you don't get up, it will be too late..."
He was in a daze and his backside was completely wet.
This dream was so real that it was scary, and at this moment, he was still immersed in this fear.
Vaguely, he seemed to materialize the scene described by Mr. Zhang.
After being lost for a while, he suddenly looked at the time on the wall!
His whole body was shocked.
Then……
Under the urging of his girlfriend Jiang Xiaoyou, he put on clothes and shoes like crazy...
After getting dressed, he didn't wash his face. He just took the bread from Jiang Xiaoyou's hand and rushed out of the rental house.
He rushed to the cinema.
I saw [Hongwei] electric cars parked in front of the cinema...
The advertising flag of "That Summer" hangs next to every electric car!
He saw a lot of fans, fans...
I also saw Lin Xia, the original author, wearing a beautiful red dress and being interviewed in the crowd...
He saw countless reporters...
When the reporters saw it, they all rushed toward him...
In the midst of bouts of trance and interviews, I was pulled in by the staff and sat in the director's chair...
Xu Shengnan from [Starlight Future] also came. At this moment, he was chatting with Zhang Sheng about something. When he saw him coming, Xu Shengnan asked him to take a seat quickly.
"congratulations!"
"Congratulations, Director Ke, the pre-sale tickets for "That Summer" on the third day have been sold very well, you can rest assured!"
"Today is the world premiere of "That Summer," Director Ke, why do you look so awake?"
"..."
Ke Zhanyi didn't know how he coped.
but……
He saw the third day of pre-sale tickets for "That Summer"!
He gets excited!
Then……
He saw a stream of blessing videos coming from the stage.
The blessing video seems to be the filming location at the entrance to the Berlin International Film Festival.
Why did "That Summer" go to Berlin?
After a brief moment of confusion, he saw Avery Zaxi blessing the "world premiere" of "That Summer" in front of the camera!
He also saw Bi Feiyu in the video...
"Bless our "That Summer" world premiere!"
"This is our Berlin station!"
"On behalf of the team of "The Dog Over the Mountain", I wish our movie "That Summer" Berlin station premiere! Wang! Wang!"
"..."
Bi Feiyu led a dog.
In Ke Zhanchi's confusion, he pulled the dog and walked into a screening room in Berlin.
In that screening room, "That Summer" was playing.
"This is the Brazil station!"
"On behalf of the documentary "Graduation Years", I wish our "That Summer" world premiere!"
He saw Li Zhonghe, who was walking into a movie theater in Brazil with some students, smiling happily.
"This is the French station..."
"..."
When he heard the words "France station", Ke Zhanchi turned his head and looked at Zhang Sheng.
But he saw Zhang Sheng smiling.
He stared.
"Have we sold the copyright of the French station?"
"We spent some money to let a movie theater over there that is about to close down show it for a while..."
"..."
He heard Zhang Sheng looking at him with a smile.
"Ah?"
"Look later, there are more exciting things..."
"???"
(Sorry, there is only one update today.)
(Sweat, first of all, my state is too bad, I am afraid that I will completely collapse if I force myself to write, and secondly, my mother-in-law came to my house, and I accompanied her to watch a movie while she waited for the guests)
(I dare not ask for tickets!)
(Three updates tomorrow! I said!)
