The mall is particularly busy today.
Today is Friday, the beginning of the weekend.
However, today's bustle is also more lively than a normal Friday afternoon.
All the places for dining and entertainment were almost full.
Wang Qian greeted Zhao Lei and took Qin Xuerong out for a meal. Along the way, he signed autographs for more than a dozen fans and fulfilled the photo requests of more than twenty fans.
In order to avoid further trouble, Wang Qian had to find a relatively high-end and quiet restaurant and book a private room.
Qin Xuerong felt like she was on a date and seemed very excited: "If I had known, I would have dressed more formally today!"
Wang Qian was surprised: "Formal what?"
Qin Xuerong shook her head and said nothing. She just sat opposite with a silly smile on her face, ordering food while glancing at Wang Qian from time to time. She just felt that this was happiness!
"I believe what you sang today was really great. I was excited listening to it. I believe that this song will become a hit once it's uploaded. Congratulations in advance."
Qin Xuerong raised a glass of juice and toasted Wang Qian.
Wang Qian was also holding a glass of juice, eating while smiling, "Not necessarily, Li Qingyao is promoting everywhere. She is determined to get the first place this month."
"That's also because of the support of the company behind her. In terms of songs and singing ability alone, she is not as good as you."
Qin Xuerong drank the juice in one gulp and said seriously, "No one in the entire pop music scene can rival you."
Wang Qian didn't dare to think so, and quickly changed the subject: "Thank you! Let's eat quickly, the movie will start soon, and Director Zhao should wait for us."
Qin Xuerong: “Okay!”
Wang Qian agreed to watch the first movie with Zhao Lei and give him some advice.
Of course, offering suggestions is just Zhao Lei's humble statement.
Wang Qian wouldn't really give any suggestions.
The relationship between the two hasn't gotten that good yet.
The two of them ate faster.
Qin Xuerong originally wanted to eat a little longer and enjoy her and Wang Qian's world of two for a while longer.
However, she didn't want to delay Wang Qian's business, so she finished eating quickly and followed Wang Qian to the cinema.
At the entrance of the cinema, the crew gathered again and were already doing their second promotional event.
In the summer season full of blockbusters, "Life Without a Name" seems very inconspicuous and has very few screenings.
Movies with big investments won’t go to shopping malls so hard to hold events. In the early stages, they basically run on big-name variety shows to gain publicity. After the release, they will start roadshows to continue increasing their popularity.
Zhao Lei saw Wang Qian, stepped forward and whispered: "Wang Qian, thank you so much this time."
He originally wanted to lend a hand to Wang Qian, thinking that Wang Qian was just a newcomer who had not yet made his debut and he should be able to help.
Unexpectedly!
Now it was Wang Qian who helped him.
This made him feel a little embarrassed.
Wang Qian didn't care about that: "Director Zhao, don't be polite. The movie has started, right? Then shall we go in?"
Zhao Lei nodded: "Okay, let's go together, the tickets are already bought!"
Zhao Lei invited the crew members who came to promote the film to watch it together.
As for the so-called premiere ceremony!
They didn't.
I can't afford it.
The investment money has basically been used up, otherwise I wouldn’t be coming to the mall to promote it now.
The group walked into the screening room with their tickets, and there were already several people sitting in the room.
Seeing Wang Qian, one of the men waved and shouted, "Boss..."
Wang Qian didn't expect that his fans would come to see him. He immediately waved and responded in surprise: "Hello, thank you!"
Another woman also waved and shouted, "Boss, come on!"
Wang Qian also waved: "Thank you, let's work hard together!"
Another young woman shouted to Liu Jifeng, "Fengzi, come on!"
Liu Jifeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally I have my own fans to support my movie!
In front of Wang Qian, a senior who has not yet made his debut but is about to surpass him in popularity, Liu Jifeng doesn't even dare to speak loudly.
Now that he had fans coming to see his movie, Liu Jifeng suddenly felt more confident. He raised his head higher, smiled and waved back.
The little episode of interacting with fans is over.
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong sat next to each other, Zhao Lei sat on the other side, and behind them sat Liu Jifeng and others.
Zhao Lei was obviously very nervous, his voice was shaking a little: "Actually, it should be released during the summer vacation and in the off-season!"
The competition during the summer vacation is too fierce, and there are too many blockbuster movies.
It is very difficult for art films to get good screening schedules.
However, the production company had already arranged the schedule, and Zhao Lei had no choice.
Wang Qian said nothing.
In his previous life, he had been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, working as an actor and behind the scenes, from a script supervisor and props manager to a director and producer. He knew the ins and outs of it very well and knew that sometimes if you talk carelessly, you might offend people accidentally, which might not have much impact at the time, but at some critical moment in the future, that person who holds a grudge against you might give you a fatal blow.
Since I have decided to debut in the entertainment industry.
Wang Qian began to pick up the attitude he had in his previous life in the entertainment industry.
Try to be nice to others.
Try not to make enemies.
Lights off.
The movie officially begins.
Most of the seats in the theater were occupied.
Zhao Lei, Li He and Liu Jifeng were obviously always paying attention to the attendance rate and would calculate it every time someone came in.
Now that the seats are more than half full, everyone looks visibly more relaxed.
The movie starts!
Wang Qian watched it very seriously, wanting to see the standard of movies in this world.
Of course, Zhao Lei cannot represent the level of this world, he can only show it from the side at best.
The plot line of the movie is simple.
The protagonist played by Liu Jifeng was born in the countryside. He was a left-behind child whose parents went out to work. He stopped going to school after graduating from junior high school and went out to work. After some hard work, he had a career. However, due to the arrogance, he was eager to develop and expand because his foundation was unstable. In the end, he suffered losses and went bankrupt, losing everything. Then he worked for a few more years, and then continued to start a business, opened a small shop and made some money.
The protagonist returned to his hometown and found that the girl he liked when he was in school was married. He also built a small two-story house in his hometown, got married and had children.
It's over...
After reading it, Wang Qian felt it was a bit dull.
The only bright spot!
It's the interlude "You Once Were" that plays when the protagonist returns to his hometown and sees the girl he likes getting married.
Also, at the end, the protagonist recalls his past and the theme song "Ordinary Road" plays!
If the movie was not so long, and the best parts of it were edited and said to be the MVs of these two songs, I guess a lot of people would believe it.
When it finally ended and the theme song "Ordinary Road" sounded.
Some emotional audience members even cried.
Because this song fits so well with the protagonist’s memories, it can be said to be a song written specifically for him!
After experiencing ups and downs, going through vicissitudes, and finally returning to ordinary!
Several audience members who knew how to sing this song sang along on the spot.
"I have crossed mountains and seas, and I have walked through crowds of people."
"I once had everything, but it all vanished like smoke..."
…
Liu Jifeng, Zhao Lei, Li He and other crew members also sang along.
Others in the theater also started singing along.
Qin Xuerong sings the loudest!
Wang Qian began to understand why Zhao Lei spent a huge sum of money to buy the film and television rights to his two songs.
This movie, and "You Once Were" and "The Ordinary Road", are a perfect match made in heaven!
With the blessing of these two songs.
The theme and connotation of the movie were elevated to a higher level.
Snap, snap, snap…
The movie ends.
Applause broke out.
Everyone knew that the main creators of the crew were in the theater, so the audience stood up and applauded Zhao Lei and others.
Zhao Lei stood up and bowed: "Thank you for your support... Thank you..."
Liu Jifeng and several actors also stood up, bowed to everyone and expressed their gratitude, then walked out of the screening room.
“The boss’s song is so touching.”
"It's kind of like an hour and a half music video!"
"The movie is average, but the two songs are great, raising the quality of the movie to a higher level! Where can I download these two songs?"
“From ancient times, bad movies have become great hits…”
…
Although the few people were talking in low voices.
However, Zhao Lei, Liu Jifeng and others who walked out of the screening room still heard it and their faces did not look very good.
Especially, there is a saying that always comes from bad movies!
This is to say.
Are their movies bad
Liu Jifeng is already checking Weibo, wanting to read reviews of the movie and what people think of his performance.
Under his Weibo, many people have watched the movie and left their comments.
"Mineko's acting is still good, but the movie is a bit cruel. Maybe it's just an art film. However, I really like the two songs. I just downloaded them. They are very nice."
"The MV lasted for an hour and a half. If it weren't for the two songs, I would have almost fallen asleep while watching it."
"I love these two songs in the movie, please tell me the names of the songs!"
"The movie is OK, a standard art film. Fengzi's acting is still good, but the biggest highlight of this movie is still those two songs, which are so fitting. I cried when I heard "You in the Past", and when "Ordinary Road" started playing at the end, I cried again! I seemed to see myself."
"In "Nameless Life", the protagonist played by Fengzi doesn't even have a name, which symbolizes everyone. Those two songs are also about everyone... I love the boss's songs."
"Sure enough, only an MV can highlight the depth of the boss's two songs. Look, Director Zhao and Fengzi worked together to shoot a one-and-a-half-hour MV for the boss. I almost cried when I saw it."
"I suggest deleting the first hour, and just start playing from when Fengzi returns home, meets her first love, and gets married, and then starts playing when "You Were" plays, and continues until the end when "Ordinary Road" plays, and the MV will be complete!"
"Fengzi, come on..."
…
Woo woo!
Liu Jifeng almost wanted to cry. He finally saw a comment that didn’t mention the two songs. The two words “come on” were too short.
Zhao Lei was also concentrating on his phone, and saw the same thing as Liu Jifeng. He looked up and made eye contact with Liu Jifeng, patted Liu Jifeng on the shoulder, and consoled him, "Fengzi, come on!"
A tear fell from the corner of Liu Jifeng's eye.
Because, he looked down on Weibo and found that the fan who sent the cheering message had asked a new question: "By the way, Fengzi, what are the names of the two songs in the movie? I want to download them! They are so good!"
Liu Jifeng looked up at Wang Qian, who was leaving with Qin Xurong and could only be seen from behind. He then lowered his head and quickly wrote on his phone and sent it out: "I am so happy to be doing promotional activities with Senior Wang Qian today. I believe your new song is so good. I see that everyone likes the two songs you sang in the movie, so I will tell you the song titles here so that you can search and download them."
"You once lived an ordinary life..."
“Thank you for your support of my new film.”
Think about it.
Liu Jifeng wrote with difficulty: "After watching my movie and then listening to these two songs, you will probably feel more deeply."
What face.
Let’s just forget it.
