The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more wrong, and hurriedly called Huang Sibo.
Although there is a ghost inside and the transaction can no longer be stopped, Pei Qian couldn't help but want to ask.
Even if you die, you have to die to understand!
"Hello? President Pei?"
Huang Sibo's voice was a little noisy, and he seemed to be busy.
Pei Qian stopped talking nonsense with him, and asked directly, "Who did the announcement of the movie?"
Huang Sibo was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Shenhua Film and Television, didn't President Lin tell you?"
With a beep, the phone hung up.
Huang Sibo glanced at the phone screen, confused.
"Strange, Mr. Lin from Shenhua Film and Television came to help with the announcement of the movie, didn't Mr. Pei find it himself?"
…
After hanging up, Pei Qian immediately called Lin Chang.
"Hello? President Pei, is something wrong? Isn't the movie released tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Pei Qian's heart throbbed instantly.
Sure enough, that's what this guy did!
Pei Qian endured the heartache: "The announcement of "Better Tomorrow" was made by you using the materials of Shinhwa Film and Television?"
Lin Chang on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Pei, you have already found out? Oh, I originally wanted to give you a surprise the day the movie was released."
"Mr. Pei, you don't have to take it too seriously. I didn't spend too much money, I just used the resources I have at hand to do it casually, small scenes and small scenes."
Pei Qian was speechless and choked with anger.
Listen, is this human
Don't spend too much money, just do it casually with the resources you have at hand
Then why did you get me nearly 40% of the layout
When Lin Chang heard that Mr. Pei on the other end of the phone didn't respond, he thought he was moved by Mr. Pei, so he quickly said, "Really, I'm just reciprocating, Mr. Pei, don't take it too seriously."
"Moreover, the follow-up filming also depends on the movie's attendance and word-of-mouth, and it may not always be maintained at more than 30%."
"Of course, since it's a movie invested by President Pei, it must be very exciting. I'm just pushing the boat with the flow."
"Mr. Pei, if you really feel bad about it, then you can pay a token promotional fee after the box office makes a big profit."
Pei Qian: "..."
Waiting for the box office to make a big profit
Then I'm already in the ground! Isn't it too late to talk about "compensation"
Pei Qian said weakly: "Who told you about this movie..."
Lin Changyile: "Why, does President Pei want to thank others in person? It's not necessary. It's not a secret that Feihuang Studio is making a movie. I just found out after a little inquiries."
"Anyway, you don't need to pay too much attention to Mr. Pei. As long as you can handle A Wan's affairs, what is this propaganda resource?"
"Wait until Ah Wan really comes home, Mr. Pei, I will help you promote every movie you make in the future!"
Pei Qian: "..."
If you keep saying this, Lin Wan will never be able to return to your Lin family again in this life!
It was only now that Pei Qian finally understood what was going on. It was obvious that Lin Changhui was wrong and did something "as much as he could" on his own accord as a thank you to Pei Qian for persuading Lin Wan to quit.
But President Pei is in a bitter heart, why are you thanking me, you are obviously cheating on me!
Pei Qian chuckled: "Mr. Lin, if the box office hits the box office, I'll never finish with you!"
With a beep, the phone hung up.
Lin Chang glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and was a little surprised.
"President Pei is President Pei, and the way of thanking is so different."
In fact, Lin Chang said it was simple, but it took a lot of trouble to get such a high ranking.
Fortunately, other movies are really not very powerful, and they managed to get such a high ranking on the first day.
"Looks like Ah Wan is going home soon."
Lin Chang thought happily.
…
…
Tuesday, February 22.
zero in the morning.
Pei Qian sneaked to the cinema on the top floor of Huanyutian Street alone to watch the premiere of "Better Tomorrow".
Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce, Lu Zhiyao and Zhang Zuting are not in Jingzhou. In the past few days, they are going to the imperial capital, the magic capital, Yangcheng and other big cities to promote and meet with fans.
At this time, probably in a movie theater in a big city, waiting for the premiere
The reason why Pei Qian secretly watched the premiere was that he might not be able to control himself if the premiere of the film received too much response.
Don't be seen by acquaintances, so you won't lose your temper on the spot and affect President Pei's image.
Before entering the cinema, Pei Qian first saw the Modeste phone booth, and there were still people singing in it at night.
Seeing Modester's sarcastic expression, Pei Qian felt his eyelids twitched, and quickly turned his head to look aside, and quickly walked two steps into the cinema, so as not to collapse before the movie started showing.
Because the ticket was bought a little late, I didn't buy a good seat, just sat in a side corner.
Pei Qian thinks this position is also very good.
On the one hand, he didn't expect to get a good movie viewing experience, just make do with it; on the other hand, there must be many couples watching this movie, sitting on the corners can effectively avoid being abused by dogs.
However, as soon as he sat down, Pei Qian was speechless.
Next to it is a couple.
Dodge and dodge, still do not dodge!
Pei Qian could only nibble on the big bucket of popcorn in his hand to divert his attention.
The attendance rate in the entire theater was about 70% or 80%, and it did not reach the level of full capacity. This is quite good for a movie that premiered in the early hours of the morning. After all, this is Jingzhou, not a theater in a big city like the Imperial Capital or the Magic Capital.
Of course, the so-called "good" is the standard of others. For Pei Qian, this attendance rate is quite bad!
"calm down."
"Be sure to keep a peaceful mind."
"It is estimated that the people who come to the premiere are Lu Zhiyao's die-hard fans. As a first-tier domestic student, it is normal and reasonable for some die-hard fans to watch the premiere."
"When all these iron fans have finished watching, the attendance rate of this film should plummet."
Pei Qian cheered himself up while nibbling on the popcorn.
Just after midnight, the lights in the entire auditorium turned off and gradually dimmed.
At the beginning, there are a lot of company logos, including Feihuang Studio and Shenhua Film and Television.
The chatter in the movie theater gradually subsided, and everyone focused on the big screen.
The movie officially begins.
Accompanied by the main creator list and background music, there are several shots of montage techniques:
quick relief meals on the table;
Waste paper balls and deflated beer cans at your feet;
twitter adverts that are constantly playing on the small screen;
A bag of potato chips that was half eaten and full of crumbs...
Through these few lenses, you can see a little bit of the sci-fi background of the whole story. The style of the table, the small billboards in the house, and the cramped but technology-filled space all seem to imply that this is happening in the future world.
The chaotic rustling in my ears gradually became clear. A variety show that looked well-made but didn't seem to be exciting was playing on the big screen. The English voice with the words was spoken, and the subtitles appeared at the bottom of the movie screen at the same time.
Lu Zhiyao's back was sitting on the floor, leaning against the bed, staring at the big screen with all his attention.
Suddenly, the picture of "guessing result" appeared on the big screen, and at the same time, the huge celebration word "congratution" burst on the screen with the special effect of fireworks, which means that the actor guessed right, from this variety show received income.
"Yes!"
Lu Zhiyao shouted excitedly, clenched his fists and waved vigorously. After a series of celebrations, he came to the dining outlet to buy a can of beer...
Pei Qian suddenly realized that he seemed to have seen this scene.
Next, it's time to drink beer!
During the filming, President Pei personally "instructed" Lu Zhiyao's acting skills...
Pei Qian's heart sank.
This movie, when it comes up, let the king explode!
When I watched the rough cut version before, wasn't this the first scene
As soon as the beginning was changed, it instantly played a head-to-head effect!
There was silence in the cinema, even the sound of eating popcorn was reduced.
Pei Qian instantly had a premonition that "it seems a little bad".
It looks very different from the rough cut version!
On the screen, Lu Zhiyao did not pick up the cans that were thrown out, but sat slumped on the ground, leaning against the window, hugging his knees with both hands, and burying his head deeply in his arms.
This is the beginning of the movie.
Immediately after the camera turned, it no longer continued to show the capsule where the male protagonist lived, but began to show the external scene.
After zero o'clock, the outside world becomes the world of the destitute.
The skyscrapers point to the night sky like glowing tombstones.
The rooftops and courtyards at the top of the building are vaguely visible in the distance. Many rich and rich people are keen to build their retro mansions on the top of the skyscrapers, and they must emit enough bright light at night to keep shining in the night sky, so that the All the destitute who can only come out for three hours at night pay their respects.
On the ground floor of the building, colorful neon lights flickered, quite different from the fairyland-like scenes at the top of the skyscrapers.
The bright and faint stars and the neon on the ground seem to be connected by the glowing "tombstones", revealing a little absurdity.
Thousands of flying cars flashing in different colors shuttle between skyscrapers, like stars flowing in the night sky, merging into many colorful rivers.
However, the destitute people walking on the road with umbrellas in the pattering rain are indifferent to everything that happens above their heads. They buy all kinds of snacks that look strange but not necessarily delicious, and engage in some cheap entertainment. , it seems to have become accustomed to haggling for a few dollars.
A TV program was playing on the TV in the small roadside shop. An extremely poor person was severely punished for coming to the outside world at the "wrong time". The host was "sincerely advising" all citizens Come to the outside world within time and don't break the rules.
Pei Qian has not seen this paragraph.
Because most of the shots inside are post-production with special effects, the bulk of the investment is also spent here.
Pei Qian became even more nervous seeing this magnificent scene, which could almost be faked with real special effects.
"calm down."
"The special effects are only such a short segment, only a few minutes, and there will be no such big scenes later."
Pei Qian grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth again to ease his nervousness.
