Crossover Actors

Chapter 115

Views:

The movie is about to be released, promotional materials are on display in major theaters across the country, and pre-sales are launched on the platform. The official Weibo of "Hiding" is active every day like a self-media.

The main creators of the crew went around for roadshows and traveled to many cities. After the reality show, Lu Wen and Qu Yanting once again publicly appeared in the public eye.

The last stop of the road show was the Academy of Film, Qu Yanting's alma mater, where he was most looking forward to and palpitating the four years.

The auditorium was full of students, even the aisles were full of people. Qu Yanting looked at the young faces on the stage, thinking of the days when he sat down to listen to lectures and watch dramas.

Holding the microphone in both hands, Qu Yanting solemnly introduced himself: "Hi students, I am the director and screenwriter of "Hiding", Qu Yanting."

He quietly thought that in the eyes of others, a screenwriter who crossed over to become a director and picked up a profession that had been neglected for many years was probably just a whim and didn't take it too seriously.

At this time, a huge banner was unfurled in the first row below the stage.

Qu Yanting was stunned, and without waiting for his reaction, a student representative jumped onto the stage from the front with a large bouquet of flowers in his arms, and ran over to give it to him.

So heavy, Qu Yanting even swayed after hugging, and then many students in the audience stood up and shouted the sentence on the banner in unison—"Welcome seniors to return to their alma mater! I wish "Hiding" a big hit at the box office!"

When the road show was over, Qu Yanting was surrounded by the juniors from the directing department, and blocked in the auditorium for an additional personal meeting.

Lu Wen is not without jealousy, how should I put it, he imagined that Qu Yanting was a pure and innocent little white flower in college, but in fact the other party is a heartthrob who can be called a school girl.

Even Sun Xiaojian felt it, and said, "Director Qu was chased by many people back then, right?"

Nonsense, even Zeng Zhen has ideas, Lu Wen rolled his eyes: "In the final analysis, I have to blame my dad for asking me to learn international trade. Back then, I should have been admitted to film school."

Sun Xiaojian said: "When you pass the exam, Director Qu will graduate."

"What if I skipped a grade in high school?" Lu Wen said that the difficulty was too high, and he automatically found another way. "What if Teacher Qu didn't earn enough credits due to too much work and delayed graduation?"

Qu Yanting came out with flowers in her arms, heard one ear, and asked, "What graduation?"

Lu Wen counseled: "The popularity is still so high after graduation, you must come back often in the future."

The various promotions are coming to an end, and the date of the movie's release is getting closer and closer.

Qu Yanting would tear up a calendar every morning when he got up, first at eight o'clock, then at seven o'clock, then at six o'clock, at five o'clock...he woke up earlier every day.

No matter what time Qu Yanting wakes up, Lu Wen will wake up with him, and accompany him to listen to music, play games, or turn on the light to build a piece of Lego.

At 3:30 in the morning, Qu Yanting tossed and turned and opened his eyes again. He got out of bed gently and went to the balcony to grab the railing. The back of his shoulders was warm, and Lu Wen followed him and put a coat on him.

"Woke you up?" Qu Yanting asked.

"No." Lu Wen said, "But you are getting more and more excessive, what time is it?"

Qu Yanting couldn't sleep well, so she buried herself on Lu Wen's chest to avoid the cold wind, and murmured, "It will be officially released in two days."

Lu Wen hugged him and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know." Qu Yanting replied, "Maybe because I care too much about this matter."

Lu Wen can empathize with him. When he released a single for the first time, he couldn't sleep well all night. The result was unsatisfactory, and he was depressed for a long time.

He called out "Brother" softly, as if speaking personally: "Up to now, you have crossed many hurdles, you don't need to worry too much, because this time is not a predicament at all, but a dream come true."

Qu Yanting raised his head, he was on the edge of his horn, forgetting that no matter good or bad, this was a brilliant beginning.

Lu Wen pushed back the hair on his forehead and said, "Be strong."

Qu Yanting smiled instantly: "Maybe I lived too happily after meeting you, and my endurance became lower."

Lu Wen said: "Although you are the pillar of the family, I will share the burden with you."

"No, wait a moment." Qu Yanting asked in confusion, "Why am I the pillar of the family?"

Lu Wen took it for granted, "Arranged by age."

Qu Yanting retorted: "Why don't you arrange them by height? Whoever looks like a pillar is the pillar."

Lu Wen shivered in the cold wind, took Qu Yanting's arm and took him into the house, bargaining: "Everyone make a concession, choose the one who is older and older, my dad!"

Two days later, in early February, the movie "Hiding" was officially released nationwide.

The film scheduling rate is moderate, and there are four commercial films and one literary film in the same period. Lu Wen coaxed Qu Yanting two days ago in a clear manner. When it comes to the release, he himself is a little uneasy.

Picking up the phone and putting it down, Lu Wen didn't dare to read the news on the Internet, and the standard was lowered again and again, from the top three at the box office to the bottom one, and then it was enough to recover the cost.

All his savings were invested, in case he lost money... Before Lu Wen could figure out the result, his phone rang a few times, and he opened the WeChat chat group.

Gu Zhuoyan posted a photo, which was a popcorn set meal for two, and said: Prepare to enter the venue to enjoy the superstar demeanor.

Lian Yiming: I'm on the way to pick up your sister, and I'll go see it later.

Gu Zhuo said: Su Wang, don't pretend to be dead.

Lian Yiming: If it's a brother, let's share the movie viewing itinerary.

Su Wang had watched the premiere with Xian Qi earlier, and under the attack, he took the lead and won with one move: Meng Chuntai committed suicide in the end.

Gu Zhuoyan: Fuck, are you a fucking human

Lian Yiming: Kick this grandson out!

Su Wang: I am the group leader.

The three people who said the ugly words in the front couldn't sit still once the movie was released, like spiritual investors, reposting the box office records in real time in the group every day.

Lian Yiming said that he must do what he said, and he really gave free tickets to customers. For this reason, Sophie Hotel was also a hot search. Relying on being the boss, Su Wang asked employees to invite partners. The scope of Gu Zhuoyan's reimbursement is getting bigger and bigger, and with a wave of his sister's little hand, he invited everyone from the same department, the same level, and even the same hospital.

Not to mention Lu Zhanqing, all factions, branches, and departments of Huanlu Times and Huanlu Construction, as well as employees of subsidiaries across the country, can reimburse the company for watching movies individually or with their families.

Lu Wen knew that it was Lu Zhanqing's personal expenses, and said, "Dad, are you spending too much money?"

Lu Zhanqing had planned for a long time, and replied: "It took so long to shoot, it's a 30th birthday gift for you."

In addition, "The First Night" became popular back then, and a large number of audiences were waiting for Lu Wen and Qu Yanting's new work, as well as fans of Yu Xiaoqing, Tu Ying and Xian Qi.

Among the celebrities who helped to promote it, even Jin Yanyu reposted one, but still did not change his morality, and said in a noble tone: "Da Hui's new movie, let's watch it."

The hottest one is Ruan Feng, who kept it a secret for many years. In order to publicize and appeal to fans, he exposed his relationship with Qu Yanting on his own. Me

"Wen Quxing" and "Bingdilian" were both dumbfounded.

The core working group of the crew is lively, the box office and the data of major platforms are updated in real time, and the comparison with the line of the film in the same period is the best one.

Compared with intuitive numbers, Qu Yanting prefers to read audience feedback, professional film reviews or simple after-view impressions. He browses many, many with his mobile phone every day——

I have been waiting for it for the last year and it has lived up to my expectations.

It's good, I didn't expect that I would like this type of movie.

I watched it last week, and I occasionally remembered some scenes, and it has a lot of stamina.

It captured the broken beauty of that era.

Discussions surrounding the film continued to increase. A fan of Lu Wen wrote a long review under the influence of personal subjective emotions after watching it, thinking that Meng Chuntai's ending may not necessarily be death.

Qu Yanting didn't take an intuitive death shot, only a gunshot, and the picture was of flying seagulls and jackdaws, which did leave some room for imagination.

The scene of fluttering its wings and flying high means that Meng Chuntai's drinking of bullets under the bayonet is not giving up, but the most straightforward resistance.

The whereabouts of Lu Baoer has also become a hot topic of discussion. The audience has opened their minds, fantasizing about Tao Suyi's mother and son taking Lu Baoer away in life, hoping that Qu Yanting will arrange the next "Return to China" as soon as possible.

Word-of-mouth fermented and then discussed on the whole network. The likes and dislikes of the audience were vividly reflected in the box office, and the screening rate of theaters also increased. Once a virtuous circle is formed, it will usher in the coveted success.

Some people say that this movie is a dark horse, but it is highly anticipated. The screenwriter's first movie won the box office gold crown that year.

It is indeed surprising. The team was formed at the beginning of the project, and the casting work was difficult. The male lead is a troublesome niche who has only acted in one bad movie, and the director is a screenwriter who has never directed a movie.

In any case, "Hiding" has become the biggest surprise of the film industry at the beginning of the year.

Two weeks after the release, Lu Wen and Qu Yanting finally walked into the theater. They booked a screening hall for the night show in the early morning, and they sat in the best seats to watch the movie.

The lights go out, and the big screen is another universe in the dark.

Qu Yanting leaned against the back of the chair, raised his eyes slightly, and stared at the lit screen inch by inch. When the opening title appeared, he held Lu Wen's palm.

When the audience watches the play, what they see are the people and scenes in the story. When an actor watches a play, what he sees is another self and life. What Qu Yanting was looking at was a long memory.

His ideas, the sentences he typed, and the late night when he drank coffee and revised over and over again. The picture and the mirror are fitted together, the light and shadow are integrated with the scheduling diagram, and every frame in his mind is transformed into every scene at the moment.

Reality and fiction collide and intertwine. Qu Yanting enters the play in the world he built, and looks for the inspiration at the beginning of creation in the stories that have been interpreted thousands of times by others.

those lonely.

More than ten years of silence.

The feeling of despair in my heart.

The sequential story and flashback life are displayed in front of Qu Yanting like two parallel lines. He has gone through a detour that had no end in sight, and finally arrived at the present.

At the end of the film, the ending music reverberated in the auditorium, and the subtitles scrolled past. The three characters "Qu Yanting" had complex strokes, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light after "director".

The hand in the palm trembled, and Lu Wen looked sideways.

Just when the lights came on, Qu Yanting was already in tears.
