And just like that, three days passed.
This day was the day when Xingmang arranged a movie screening for "Hachiko: A Dog's Story".
Downtown Sioux City.
Inside the beautifully decorated Dadi Cinema.
Supervisor Lao Zhou and senior executives of the Star Film Department stood at the door of the theater's best theater, welcoming representatives from major cinema chains.
"Welcome, please come in."
"Long time no see, Manager Wang."
"Oh, Manager Zhou is here too."
"You are the representative of Sanjin Cinema Line, right?"
"… "
Representatives from all major cinema chains came in droves. Lao Zhou and the senior executives of the Star Film Department shook hands and greeted the visitors from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
At this time.
In the distance, a tall woman wearing sunglasses and a red wool coat appeared in high heels. The clacking sound of her footsteps was rhythmic.
Full of aura.
Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on this woman, with different expressions on their faces. Some people whispered in a playful tone:
"Ye Hongyu is here."
"Xingmang has a lot of face."
"No wonder they chose this theater to watch the movie. It turns out they have a connection with Dadi Cinema Line. But Ye Hongyu's coming here may not be a good thing."
"Everyone knows that Ye Hongyu has extremely high standards for film contracts."
"She is the famous Iron Lady of Dadi Cinema Line. How can this be a joke?"
"… "
Everyone pays attention to Ye Hongyu, not because she is beautiful.
Such a group of theater representatives are all people with status and position in society. If they are willing, they will naturally have no shortage of beautiful women around them.
Although Ye Hongyu is indeed very beautiful, with heavy makeup and sunglasses, she has a heroic demeanor, as if she walks with the wind, but she also has a very feminine charm, giving people a feeling of strength and infinite charm.
but…
The most noteworthy thing about this woman is the cinema chain she represents, Dadi Cinemas!
Cinemas are also divided into levels.
The number of cinemas controlled by large cinema chains is extremely large, which is not comparable to that of some small cinema chains. The Dadi Cinema Chain represented by Manager Ye is the top cinema chain ranked among the top in Blue Star!
Therefore, Ye Hongyu is also the most important representative among all the theater representatives invited today!
If she was willing to sign "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" on behalf of Dadi Cinemas, the contract offered by this company alone would be equal to the size of several other cinemas combined!
So facing this woman, even Lao Zhou was a little more enthusiastic than before:
"Manager Ye, you are here!"
He shook hands with Ye Hongyu and said, "Thank you Dadi Cinema for providing the venue for the screening. I hope you will be satisfied with our movie!"
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Ye Hongyu took off her sunglasses, revealing her pretty face, which was heavily made up but not tacky:
"Manager Zhou, you're too polite."
She shook hands with Lao Zhou and said with a smile: "I am looking forward to Xing Mang's movie."
"This is what we're looking forward to. This is Xianyu's new movie. Manager Ye's name also happens to have the word 'fish' in it. So you two are actually from the same family. Please take good care of our Xingmang and Teacher Xianyu in the future."
"Manager Zhou is really good at joking."
Ye Hongyu still smiled: "But my expectations are sincere."
"… "
Did Lao Zhou laugh along? But he felt calm inside.
Of course he knew that Ye Hongyu's so-called "expectation" was just a polite remark.
I'm afraid this woman has said similar things to the invitees at every movie screening she attended.
But if she is not satisfied with the movie in the end, she will never agree to sign it even if it is a movie made by her own father.
Because she is Ye Hongyu!
The Iron Lady of Dadi Cinemas!
There is a rumor in the industry about this woman. It is said that during the movie-watching process, no one can guess this woman's attitude towards the movie through her reaction!
Because this woman doesn't laugh at comedies? She doesn't cry at tragedies? She doesn't frown at horror movies
No one will know until the end what this woman's attitude is towards the movie she watched.
This is the origin of Ye Hongyu being called the “Iron Lady”.
"I'll go in first."
Ye Hongyu smiled slightly and entered the theater with two little followers.
When she is not watching a movie, Ye Hongyu has quite a lot of facial expressions. But once she starts watching a movie, her face becomes expressionless.
Ye Hongyu was just an episode.
Soon, representatives from the remaining theaters also arrived and entered the theater one after another.
At this time.
A representative of the theater who entered the theater noticed that beside each seat in the theater, in addition to the drinks and popcorn provided by Xingmang, there was also a pack of toilet paper.
“Why are there so many toilet papers?”
One of the theater representatives looked at Lao Zhou with a strange expression.
Is your movie so exciting
How big a relationship is required to pass the review
And this is in public, isn't it bad
Besides, there are lesbians at the scene!
Old Zhou ignored the man's imagination and said mysteriously, "It would be bad if my sleeves got wet."
The theater representative was stunned.
After everyone sat down, another senior executive of the film department next to Lao Zhou was chatting with a familiar theater chain representative. In the middle of the conversation, he suddenly took out a cigarette:
"Come and get some Hanako?"
"Thank you, I don't smoke, and this is a movie theater, so I can't smoke."
"I'm not asking you to smoke now."
"I don't smoke after watching a movie."
"Brother, trust me, it won't hurt if you take it."
"… "
The representative of the theater could only put the cigarette in his ear, but he felt weird in his heart, what the hell is this Starlight doing
The eighth row of the theater.
Ye Hongyu didn't touch her drink and popcorn. She just crossed her legs slightly and waited for the movie to start in the most comfortable posture.
Obviously.
Xingmang has special care for representatives of major cinema chains, especially Dadi Cinemas, so this is one of the best places to watch movies.
On Ye Hongyu's left and right sat two followers she brought with her.
The attendant on the left whispered, "Sister Hongyu, can I ask a question?"
"ask."
Ye Hongyu said lightly.
This little follower is called Yang An, and he is a new talent cultivated by the company.
In the future, Yang An will represent the cinema chain to attend some film screenings, so Ye Hongyu brought him out with the intention of training Yang An.
As for the other little follower, he is Ye Hongyu's assistant.
Yang An asked respectfully, "Why do you keep reminding us to manage our expressions when watching a movie?"
Ye Hongyu whispered, "Because if the theater representatives reveal too much of their thoughts during the movie watching process, the film company will see our love for the movie and take the opportunity to lower the price. So we have to hide our emotions so that the film company can't figure out our thoughts. Even if they really like the movie, we can take the initiative when signing the contract."
"I see!"
Yang An nodded firmly: "Sister Hongyu, please rest assured, I will definitely control my emotions. No matter whether the movie is good or bad, I will not let anyone see my preference!"
Ye Hongyu didn't say much.
At this time, the big screen had gone completely black and there were no commercials. After Lao Zhou came on stage to remind everyone that the movie was about to start, he quickly walked to his seat.
Worth mentioning is…
Lao Zhou was sitting in the ninth row, from which he could see many people's reactions. This was the seat Lao Zhou had chosen specifically for the final contract negotiations with the cinema chain.
