Perfect Superstar

Peking City, Paulie Grand Theatre.

Over the past decade, due to the rapid development of the film market, the cinema in Beijing has sprung up like a shooting shower. The number of screens has increased several times, and the number of screens has more than doubled tenfold.

But in the eyes of the Old Jingcheng people, Paulie Grand Theatre is undoubtedly one of the two largest theatres in their minds. This 60-year-old theatre is located in the heart of Jingcheng. It used to combine the functions of cinema, theatre, conference auditorium, etc. After several renovations, it is impossible to say the same as before, whether it is in size or equipment.

Due to its history, location, fame and versatility and its own compulsion, many films, both domestic and foreign, are selected for premiere at the Paulie Grand Theatre.

On Saturday, September 29, at 7: 30 p.m., the premiere of Laughter River and Lake was also held at the Paulie Grand Theatre.

The main hall of the Paulie Grand Theatre is able to accommodate 500 audiences, and Chenfei Media has not made a great deal of publicity for the premiere, which is quite understated.

The guests invited at the premiere were mainly Chen Fei media industry colleagues, Lu Chen and Chen Fei's friends in the circle, as well as media representatives, filmmakers, etc.

Although there were only 10 officially invited media outlets, the premiere had not yet begun, and a large number of media journalists had taken advantage of the Paulie Grand Theatre by setting up short-guns.

Lu Chen, who came out to greet the guests in person, was surrounded by water, and if the on-site security was not strong enough, he would probably be submerged by these journalists.

“Lu Chen! ”

“Mr. Lu Chen, I am a reporter for the New Film Network, please...”

“Is it true to hear that Laughter River and Lake pre-sells just over 40 million? ”

“Lu Chen, the martial arts theme has been regarded as the box office poison, so do you still insist on the original prediction of the box office of Laughter River Lake? ”

“Lu Chen...”

Dozens of journalists shouted, reluctantly shoved the microphone into Lu Chen's mouth, and the questions they raised were not all friendly and harmonious, so aggressive and questionable.

Seeing this situation, Lu Chen knew that if he did not speak, it would be difficult to cope with the past.

He thought about it and raised his hand to show the journalists to calm down first.

These reporters are old gas bars. At first glance, they knew that Lu Chen had something to say. They immediately and skilfully shut their mouths. They simply stretched their microphones to Lu Chen so that their own logos appeared in the most prominent position on the camera.

He pointed to one of the more journalists Lu Chen had seen in the past few years and had also coped with a great deal of experience.

The other party immediately asked excitedly, "Hello, Lu Chen, I am a reporter for Everyday Entertainment. Can you tell me what the pre-sale results of Laughter River and Lake are? ”

Lu Chen answered frankly: "Currently it is more than 40 million, plus an estimated less than 50 million tomorrow. ”

Pre-sale box office data, like box office data, cannot be concealed because there are open channels to query, so there is no need to cover up the jokes of masks.

The reporter of Daily Entertainment already knew the relevant data, but with the topic in mind, when he heard Lu Chen's answer, he immediately asked: “Less than 50 million in advance sales, that means the total box office is hard to break 500 million, can you say that your prediction at the opening ceremony was wrong? ”

Journalists' favorite topic is controversial. It's not much to hit people in the face like this. It's kind of euphemistic.

Lu Chen's fame is too great. He has been smooth and smooth since his arrival. He has achieved great success in all aspects. He has never failed.

For the journalists, there is no freshness in reporting on Lu Chen's success, so that Lu Chen's defeat can excite them. It would be perfect if Lu Chen's frustration could be irritated by this.

However, this trick really doesn't do much for Lu Chen.

And he laughed, "If you tell me that my previous predictions were wrong, I'm still insisting. ”

“Insist on mistakes? ”

Journalists' chins are about to go down: “Do you still think Laughter River and Lake could take a billion to a half billion-dollar box office at the National Day? ”

Lu Chen shook his head: “A single national day is definitely not a good idea, my prediction is the total box office. ”

Originally, the reporter of "Daily Entertainment" had written a detailed abdominal draft and prepared quite a few topics, but he did not expect Lu Chen to stubbornly insist on his opinions, so much so that he could not keep up with the words after him.

If he can't keep up, then someone else grabbed the question: “Lu Chen, what makes you think Laughter River and Lake can create a miracle and reverse the audience's impression of Wu-Man movie? ”

Lu Chen chuckled: "Of course, with the attention and hard work of all the actors and staff of Laughter River and Lake, I believe that this film can bring you a completely different viewing experience. In fact, so much has been said, but let the audience verify it for themselves! ”

This isn't the right pace...

The reporters surrounding Lu Chen did not make any irritating remarks from Lu Chen's mouth, but rather had the feeling that he had carried the rhythm.

They didn't come here to promote Laughter River and Lake!

However, Lu Chen did not give them another chance. He lifted his wrist and looked at the watch and said, “Time is almost up. If you'll excuse me, thank you. We'll talk next time. ”

Speaking, he turned to the theater and ignored the call of those foolish reporters behind him.

Lu Chen made it clear that he said more and would not change the ideas inherent in others. Only iron-like facts can break all the questions, so there is no need to waste time now.

At this moment, guests to the premiere gathered in the lobby of the theatre, where they also prepared drinks and refreshments for visitors, many of whom chatted in three or two places.

Chen Fei approached Tian Tian, who flew to Beijing yesterday to attend this premiere and lived in the home of two people.

Lu Xi also followed him and said: “People are almost here now, we can start. ”

Lu Chen nodded: “Let's get started, let's go in together. ”

It's about to start!

He took a deep breath of breath and was forced to create a hint of confusion and confusion.

And that feeling, it's been a long time since I've seen it.

Perhaps it has been a little stressful lately. Perhaps it is the film that carries too many expectations. It will soon face the test of the market, just like students entering the college entrance examination!

At this time, Phil Chan grabbed his arm.

Lu Chen turned his head and saw Chen Fei's bright and moving eyes shining.

Is it trust, support, encouragement...
