Chapter 45 PremiereAlthough we know that the filming of "Legend of Lu Zhen" is coming to an end and the male and female protagonists have both asked for leave, it is difficult to arrange the subsequent filming plan, which is equivalent to the crew stopping work for a day, but we still have to ask for leave. We cannot but give face to Teacher Xue Xiaolu. And to be honest, Yang Hao is also very curious about what "BJ Meets Seattle" will look like. The combination of Xiao Mingge + Da Mimi, this lineup is really eye-catching. Da Mimi's acting is hard to describe, and Xiao Mingge's acting is a classic 50-50. If Xiao Mingge's acting is brought to the same level as Da Mimi, with the two of them giving a performance of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Youngster, will Xiao Mingge once again perform the classic domineering and evil smile? Damn it, Yang Hao felt a little bit shameless. He knew it might be a bad drama, but for some reason, Yang Hao just wanted to see how bad it was. Maybe being extremely bad is also an art. In his previous life, Brother Baoqiang’s “Journey to India” had a Douban score of points. Everyone said it was a terrible movie, but it also won the Golden Broom Award. Yang Hao just wanted to see how bad "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was, so he went to watch it specially. To be honest, Yang Hao thought it was quite funny, Yan Zi was very beautiful, and the box office was also quite high. Yang Hao felt that there were many movies worse than "Journey to India", and no matter how it was evaluated, it would not be Brother Baoqiang's turn to receive the Golden Broom Award. The premiere of "BJ Meets Seattle" was scheduled at BJ Wanda Cinema.
On this day, there was a huge crowd of people outside Wanda Cinema. When the main creative staff of "BJ Meets Seattle" arrived, Xue Xiaolu, Xiao Mingge, Yang Mi and others walked into the cinema. The surrounding fans held up their support signs and shouted "Yang Mi, I love you" and "Huang Xiaoming is so handsome". Da Mimi is worthy of being the top star in Chinese entertainment. She is very popular. From the loud shouts of the surrounding fans, we can tell that Da Mimi should have a lot more fans at the scene than Xiao Mingge. Zhao Liying was also among the main creative staff, but she was a nobody and there was not a single fan of hers at the scene. After entering the venue, Yang Hao found his seat according to the seat number on the movie ticket. At this time, the main creators also took to the center of the stage. Under the arrangement of the host, the director and several main creators made brief self-introductions and said a few words of thanks. Afterwards, Xiao Ming and Da Mimi were arranged to sing a classic song "Love Offering" together. As soon as the song was sung, the atmosphere on the scene was heated up. To be honest, Yang Hao felt that Da Mimi was lip-syncing because she didn't break her voice. It's not scientific for Da Mimi to sing without breaking her voice. As the song ended, the host asked a few more questions, and finally the opening segment of the premiere came to an end. The lights in the cinema gradually dimmed and the movie officially began. Just as the movie opened and the dragon logo appeared, someone sat down next to Yang Hao. "Sister Mi, why are you sitting here?" Logically, Yang Mi should sit with Brother Xiao Ming and Director Xue Xiaolu, so why did he sit next to me? "What's wrong, are you not welcome, Sister Mi?" Yang Mi joked. "Welcome, welcome. I'd love to sit next to Sister Mi," Yang Hao said with a smile. The two exchanged a few brief words and then stopped talking because the movie had officially started and the entire theater was relatively quiet, so their chat would not have a good impact on the audience. As the plot of the film progresses, Yang Hao's mind also becomes focused on the film.
Perhaps because he had watched the version of "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" starring Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo in his previous life, and had preconceived notions, Yang Hao always felt that this version was a little off. After all, Director Xue Xiaolu is a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy and he is pretty good at training actors. In this movie, we didn't see any domineering performance from Brother Xiao Ming, and Da Mimi's acting skills seemed to have been improved a bit by Brother Xiao Ming. Overall, the acting skills of both of them are online. Yang Hao looked at the audience around him again. Most of them were also attracted by the content of the film and immersed in it. However, Yang Hao was not sure whether the film was successful, because those who could attend the premiere were special guests, relatives, friends, fans and moviegoers, and these people must have subjective biases. At the end of the film, Wen Jiajia, played by Yang Mi, met Frank, played by Xiao Ming, again on the Empire State Building in New York. Many fans watching the movie actually cried. His eyes fell on Da Mimi, and he found that her nose was twitching as well. Yang Hao found it somewhat funny that Da Mimi could be moved to tears while watching the movie in which she acted. The ending song sounded, subtitles appeared, and the lights in the screening room lit up. The cinema was silent at first, and then there was thunderous applause that lasted for dozens of seconds. Just as Yang Hao was clapping hard, Da Mimi poked herself with her arm. He whispered, "Yang Hao, you are the investor of this movie, how much do you think this movie will make at the box office?" Yang Hao blurted out without thinking: "" When Da Mimi heard the box office figures Yang Hao said, her eyes widened. You know, the highest-grossing movie she had starred in before was the "Far Cry" that made her ashamed, and it only grossed 9500 million yuan. In fact, the was just something he said casually. It was the box office performance of "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" in his previous life. Yang Hao was not sure about the box office performance in this life. The combination of Yang Mi + Xiao Mingge is definitely more popular than Tang Wei + Wu Xiubo, but their acting skills are not as good. It is hard to judge overall. As the movie ended, Yang Mi, Huang Xiaoming, and Xue Xiaolu returned to the stage. "Do you think the movie is good?" The host's words successfully attracted everyone's attention to the stage. "nice" "Very beautiful" “Would you recommend this movie to your friends and family?” "recommend" “Definitely recommend” The audience and guests in the audience also responded very considerately. Then the host handed the microphone to director Xue Xiaolu. After director Xue Xiaolu said a few words of thanks, the premiere of "BJ Meets Seattle" came to an end. Of course, there is one most important part after the premiere. Every audience guest can receive a small gift with the movie ticket in his hand. The gift is a set of skin care products sponsored by PROYA. Media reporters and film critics who come here can even receive a small red envelope. In order to gain initial word of mouth, this red envelope is crucial. After the premiere, there was a banquet, and Yang Hao and Zhao Liying were also invited, but Yang Hao declined and took Zhao Liying to fly back to the "Legend of Lu Zhen" crew overnight. There was no other way. The crew would lose hundreds of thousands of dollars if they stopped working for one day. A considerable portion of this was Yang Hao's own money, and he felt very distressed. Before boarding the plane, Yang Hao received a WeChat message from Da Mimi.
"This premiere was a bit rushed. The next time we meet should be on the set of Blade of the Assassin. I'll treat you to dinner then." This premiere was indeed quite rushed, but it was worth the trip. From the way Da Mimi arranged the seat next to me and even said that she would invite me to dinner next time, this sent out some unusual signals. When you are raising books, remember to catch up on Tuesday. Catch up on Tuesday will affect the recommendations next week.
