Entertainment From Divorce

Vol 3 Chapter 759: premiere

Hangzhou.

Li Yuan's cell phone rang, and it was from his girlfriend. The two had been in a long-distance relationship for several years.

As soon as he answered the phone, Li Yuan heard his girlfriend's excited voice: "Our company's May Day holiday notice came out, let's play in Hangzhou then."

"No problem, my place happens to be quite close to tourist attractions, so you can come here directly when the time comes."

"We haven't watched a movie together for a long time. Let's go to a movie together when the time comes. I watched the trailer of "Straight into the Sky" on the Internet a few days ago. It was very good. Let's go see it then."

Li Yuan's girlfriend learned the history of this period in college and is very interested in this movie.

Speaking of movies, Li Yuan naturally thought of Tan Yue's new movie in his mind, and said, "I want to watch "Kung Fu". I haven't seen this kind of movie in a theater for a long time."

"Anyway, I'll be on vacation for a few days, so let's watch the two movies together."

"it is good."

For the movie "Kung Fu", Li Yuan is still looking forward to it.

magic capital.

Baicheng Entertainment Company.

As the May Day holiday approaches, the entire company is busy.

The film department has films released, and the actors in the play have to arrange activities and promotions in various places.

As a director, Zhao Sheng sat in the office drinking tea and reading the newspaper, looking a bit leisurely.

But at this moment, he was frowning tightly, with a sad expression on his face, and his attention was completely absent from the newspaper in his hand.

Picking up the cup, drinking the tea feels tasteless.

"Alas..." With a long sigh, he put down the newspaper and lay back on the chair with his eyes closed.

Recently, the publicity of "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky" has made it a little bit big.

One is a first-class entertainment company in China, and the other is a top international entertainment company abroad.

The promotion of the movie is not comparable to that of a second-rate entertainment company like them.

Zhao Sheng felt that he was holding back his breath.

He recently filmed a fantasy movie "Strange Mountain and Sea", and he is gearing up to show off his skills during May Day.

Zhao Sheng put a lot of effort into this movie. Fantasy movies are considered niche movies in China, but they have a group of sticky fans. That's what made him see an opportunity.

If he can succeed, his status in the director circle will be greatly improved.

In order to obtain a higher box office, Zhao Sheng applied for a lot of publicity resources from the company.

Media, Weibo, short video platforms... There are promotional videos on them.

But judging from the current effect, it has not attracted much attention.

The eyes of netizens are almost all focused on "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky".

Zhao Sheng felt bitter and indescribable.

Obviously they are all following the same promotional route, but the attention is always not raised.

The word "Chuan" between Zhao Sheng's eyebrows became more and more obvious.

"Strange Mountain and Sea" was scheduled to be released on May Day a long time ago.

Later, when he saw that "Kung Fu" was finalized, Zhao Sheng felt a little nervous.

Although martial arts action movies are not very attractive to audiences in the movie market, they are films directed by Tan Yue after all.

With Tan Yue's name alone, many audiences will go to the cinema to watch a show.

Afterwards, Zhao Sheng saw the major media reports that "Straight into the Sky" was also scheduled for May Day.

His heart was completely tense.

Large-scale foreign production movies will always have an inexplicable attraction to the audience.

Similarly, the director of this movie is also quite famous, and many people in China know the name of Jesse.

It is discussed on the Internet that "Kung Fu" is not in a good situation.

Zhao Sheng felt that he was the one in the worst situation, at least "Kung Fu" was still popular.

It is said that when gods fight, mortals suffer.

Zhao Sheng believes that this is the situation now. There was "Kung Fu" before and "Straight into the Sky" after that.

No one paid attention to "Strange Mountain and Sea" at all.

Feeling helpless, Zhao Sheng stared blankly at the ceiling, complaining in his heart why both "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky" were released on May Day, and what should he do?

Thinking of his movie, Zhao Sheng was still looking forward to it.

The investment in "Strange Mountain and Sea" is not a lot, and the money spent on production is not a small amount, and the quality must pass the test.

And it's a relatively rare topic.

Maybe his movie is a dark horse, counterattacking "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky" at the box office.

A gleam of light appeared on Zhao Sheng's melancholy face.

On the evening of April 30th.

The discussion on the movie forum has skyrocketed.

"Tomorrow is May Day, and many movies are about to be released. What movie are you going to see?"

"Needless to say, it must be "Straight into the Sky". For a blockbuster like this, you can only feel it when you watch it in a movie theater."

"Of course I want to support Teacher Tan Yue's movie. After watching the promotional trailer of "Kung Fu", I feel pretty good."

"I want to watch "Straight into the Sky". Although the promotional video is very short, after watching it, I can only use two words to describe itshock."

"As a veteran fan of martial arts action movies, "Kung Fu" is of course the first choice to watch movies this holiday season. The tickets are already bought, and I will go to the cinema to watch them tomorrow."

"I wonder if you haven't watched the movie "Strange Mountain and Sea" together? Ask for a teammate online, and I'll treat you!"

the next day.

Hangzhou.

Warm Jiayuan.

This house was bought by Li Yuan's parents for his wedding, and he usually lives alone.

Li Yuan was still lying on the bed and fast asleep.

Zhao Yan, Li Yuan's girlfriend, took the high-speed train to the place yesterday after get off work, and it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

Zhao Yan, who usually gets up at seven o'clock, woke up at six o'clock under the call of the biological clock.

Looking at the time, Zhao Yan wanted to continue sleeping for a while, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

After finally taking a vacation, Zhao Yan didn't want to spend the whole morning lying on the bed.

So he woke up Li Yuan who was still sleeping soundly beside him: "Get up."

Li Yuan opened his eyes in confusion: "What time is it?"

"Six fifty."

Li Yuan tugged at the quilt and hid his head in the quilt: "It's still early, I'll sleep in later and go out to play in the evening."

She couldn't fall asleep anymore, how could Zhao Yan let Li Yuan sleep.

But no matter how Zhao Yan urged, Li Yuan was too sleepy to open his eyes.

Zhao Yan only needs to give up the idea of getting up for the time being, turn on her mobile phone and start boring short videos.

Before I knew it, it was nine o'clock.

Zhao Yan called Li Yuan to get up again.

Li Yuan has already bought movie tickets in advance, "Kung Fu" will start at eleven o'clock, and "Straight into the Sky" will be at three o'clock in the afternoon.

It takes a lot of time to put on makeup when going out for a party, or you will be late.

Li Yuan felt that these two hours passed as soon as he closed his eyes, and he was still sleepy.

"If you don't get up again, don't watch the "Kung Fu" movie, and watch "Straight into the Sky" in the afternoon."

Sensing that Zhao Yan's tone of voice was a bit wrong, Li Yuan became more awake.

"Okay, get up."

Li Yuan squinted for a while, and didn't get up until half past nine.

After a brief wash, Zhao Yan had already prepared breakfast when she came out.

Li Yuan hadn't eaten much breakfast before, so he put down the fast food after two mouthfuls.

"Eat more. Today is the first day of the holiday. There must be a lot of people in the shopping mall. After watching the first movie, we have to catch the second movie. Maybe we won't be able to eat in the middle." Zhao Yan picked up a fried The eggs were placed on Li Yuan's dinner plate.

Li Yuan swallowed the fried egg without saying a word.

During the May Day period, whether it is a movie theater or a shopping mall, it must be crowded with people. What my girlfriend said makes sense.

After breakfast, Li Yuan packed things in the kitchen, and Zhao Yan started to put on makeup in the bedroom.

It was almost half past ten when the two of them went out.

Zhao Yan said angrily: "I told you to get up early, we might be late.",

Li Yuan said solemnly: "Don't worry, we will be there soon."

Fortunately, the community is relatively close to the cinema, and Li Yuan often drives around in this area, so he is quite familiar with the road conditions.

It takes more than ten minutes to arrive at the mall, and the cinema is on the fourth floor of the mall.

The two took the instantly full elevator to the fourth floor.

Looking at the crowds of people moving around in the movie theater, it was the same as what they thought.

There are also many movie posters erected at the door.

The most prominent ones are "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky".

It can also be seen how much the cinema attaches to these two films.

The two decided to split into two groups, Zhao Yan went to get movie tickets, and Li Yuan went to buy popcorn.

But you need to line up.

On the first day of the May Day holiday, the flow of people in the entire shopping mall increased several times.

Those who brought their families out to play, young couples hanging out.

Especially the cinema, mostly young people.

Zhao Yan, who was queuing up to collect tickets, heard two people discussing behind her.

"Today I can finally watch "Straight into the Sky". To watch a blockbuster movie, of course you have to watch it in a movie theater."

"Believe me, watching "Straight into the Sky" will definitely bring back the ticket price. This is the work of a famous war-themed director. His movies have always been famous for their spectacle. After watching it, you will definitely feel that the previous movies are a waste of time. .

"Thinking about the trailer is exciting, and now I can't wait."

The people in front were discussing Tan Yue's movies.

"Although it's not the type of movie I like to watch, I must support Teacher Tan Yue's movie."

"So many people on the Internet don't like martial arts action movies, and they say they don't want to watch "Kung Fu". I think their eyes have problems. As long as it is Teacher Tan Yue's film and television works, there is no difference. This movie will definitely not let me down. .

Zhao Yan found that most people came to see "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky".

"Straight into the sky" has a little more discussion.

Li Yuan came over with a bucket of popcorn and came to Zhao Yan's side.

Zhao Yan said: "Tan Yue's movie may not be as good as "The King of Comedy"."

Li Yuan asked suspiciously: "Why?"

"Didn't you hear the people around you talking about it when you bought the popcorn? Today, many people came to watch "Straight into the Sky." Zhao Yan glanced at the ticket collection code, and it was her turn next.

When "The King of Comedy" was released on National Day, most of the movie theater audience was discussing the movie.

And now the discussion of "Kung Fu" is obviously much less.

Li Yuan said unconvinced: "That's because they have no vision. Martial arts action movies, what a good type of movie. It's only been one movie for so many years. "Kung Fu" is of course the first choice."

Without arguing, Zhao Yan pointed the ticket code at the scanning port and took out two movie tickets.

After checking the tickets, the two entered the cinema.

At a glance, there are still a lot of people in the movie theater.

Li Yuan said softly: "It seems that everyone still likes this movie very much."

The two of them walked towards the back, and they were relatively far behind, in the third row from the bottom.

At this time, I saw that there were still several vacant seats in the last row.

After finding her own seat and sitting down, Zhao Yan said in a low voice, "You should not have too much expectations. There are so many people on the first day of the holiday, and there are still vacant seats."

Li Yuan turned his head, there was still no one in those empty seats.

It can be said that the two of them were the last to come in. Now there is no one, and there may really be no audience.

"You haven't woken up yet. If the movie at the party is not good, take advantage of this time to have a good rest and watch "Straight into the Sky" in the afternoon."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, lying on the chair, waiting for the movie to start.

Although Tan Yue is very good at directing, "Kung Fu" is a martial arts action movie after all.

For such a long time, he has always had a complicated attitude towards the movie "Kung Fu". He really hopes that the movie will be made well, but he is not so confident.

Now martial arts action movies have long since lost their original taste.

Can Tan Yue make a real martial arts action movie?

A very important reason for being able to watch "Kung Fu" in the cinema this time is because of my love for this type of movie.

Zhao Yan picked up the popcorn and put it in Li Yuan's mouth.

He knew that his boyfriend liked martial arts action movies, even to the point of obsession, and said: "There will be opportunities in the future. Some time ago, I saw that the official website of the General Administration of Documents announced a group of movies that strongly support the development of various types. Among them Then there are martial arts action movies."

The movie hasn't started yet, and many people are discussing in low voices.

"I can see Teacher Tan Yue's new movie again. I came here because of him. As long as it is his movie, I must not miss it. In order to buy this movie ticket, I stayed up until midnight to buy it, but I believe in everything. It's all worth it."

"As an old fan of Teacher Tan for many ~ the new movie is released, I must support it."

"I came here because of Zhou Can. I became a fan after watching "The King of Comedy" last time. I hope his performance in the movie will be better this time."

"Teacher Tan Yue and Zhou Can's cooperation, this time you can see the nonsensical style again, and this time there is also the style of martial arts action, it is really hard to imagine, how do these two styles combine?"

"It's only after you said that that I realized that my mind has been full of martial arts action movies lately, so I ignored the nonsense."

"Kung Fu" was released on the first day, and there were so many viewers, but most of them came for Tan Yue and Zhou Can.

There are also some viewers who are fans of Wulitou.

If other martial arts action movies are released, it will be thankful that half of the audience can be seated in this auditorium.

The lights gradually dimmed, and the discussion became much quieter.

Li Yuan turned his head to look at the last row again, but there was still no one sitting in the empty seat.
