Perfect Superstar

Beijing, Baoli Grand Theatre.

In the past ten years, due to the rapid development of the film market, the cinemas in Beijing have sprung up, the number has surged several times, and the number of screens has more than ten times.

But in the eyes of the old Jingcheng people, the Pauli Grand Theatre is undoubtedly one of the best cinemas in their minds. This 60-year-old Grand Theatre is located in the bustling area of ​​the center of Beijing, originally taking care of theaters, theaters, conference halls, etc. The function, after several renovations and renovations, both in scale and equipment, is not the same as in the past.

Due to its history, location, fame and versatility, it is self-contained, so many films, including domestic and foreign blockbusters, were selected for the premiere at the Pauli Grand Theatre.

At 7:30 pm on Saturday, September 29, the premiere of "Swordsman" was also held at the Pauli Grand Theatre.

The main hall of the Pauli Grand Theatre can accommodate 500 spectators. Chen Fei Media did not make a big publicity campaign for this premiere, which was quite low-key.

The guests invited by the premiere ceremony are mainly the industry colleagues of Chenfei Media, Lu Chen and Chen Feier's friends in the circle, media representatives, filmmakers and so on.

Although there are only 10 officially invited media, the premiere has not yet begun. A large number of media reporters have been unsolicited, occupying a favorable position in the Pauli Grand Theatre and setting up long guns and short guns.

Lu Chen, who personally came out to welcome the guests, was even surrounded by people. If it was not enough security on the spot, I am afraid he would be overwhelmed by these reporters.

"Lu Chen!"

"Mr. Lu Chen, I am a new movie..."

“I heard that the pre-sale of “Swordsman” is only over 40 million. Is this true?”

"Lu Chen, the martial arts theme has been regarded as a box office poison, then do you still insist on the original forecast for the box office of "Swordsman"?

"Lu Chen..."

Dozens of reporters are arguing and arguing, and they can't wait to put the microphone in Lu Chen's mouth, and the questions they ask are not all friendly and harmonious, and they are more aggressive.

Seeing this situation, Lu Chen knows that if he does not speak, I am afraid it is difficult to cope with the past.

He thought about it and raised his hand to signal the reporters to calm down first.

These reporters are old fritters. At first glance, they know that Lu Chen has something to say, and immediately closed his mouth in a sophisticated manner. He just desperately stretched out the microphone to Lu Chen, so that his own logo on the microphone appeared in the most conspicuous position of the camera.

In the past few years, Lu Chen has seen more reporters and has also dealt with a wealth of experience. He pointed to one of them.

The other party immediately asked excitedly: "Hello, Lu Chen, I am "Daily Entertainment" asked "Swordsman" is the current pre-sales results, can you disclose?"

Lu Chen replied calmly: "There are more than 40 million at present, plus an estimated less than 50 million tomorrow."

Box office pre-sale data is just as unobtrusive as box office data, because there are open channels to query, so there is no need to cover up the jokes.

The reporter of "Daily Entertainment" actually knows the relevant data, but he took the topic and heard Lu Chen’s answer. He immediately asked: "The pre-sale of less than 50 million means that the total box office It is difficult to break through 500 million. Can you say that your prediction at the boot ceremony was wrong?"

What journalists like most is a controversial topic. It’s a very euphemistic thing to be a public face like this.

Lu Chen’s reputation is too great. He has been running smoothly since he debuted. He has achieved great success in all aspects and never failed.

For the reporters, there is no freshness in reporting Lu Chen’s success. Lu Chen’s frustration can make them excited. If you can use this to stimulate Lu Chen’s anger and anger, it’s perfect!

However, this kind of trick really has no effect on Lu Chen.

He smiled and said: "If you say that my previous predictions were wrong, then I still insist on this mistake."

"Insist on the mistake?"

The reporter's chin was quickly shocked: "Do you still insist that "Swordsman" can win a vote box of 10 to 1.5 billion in the National Day?"

Lu Chen shook his head: "The National Day file is definitely not good. My prediction is the total box office."

Originally, the reporter of "Daily Entertainment" has already prepared a detailed draft and prepared quite a few topics, but he did not expect Lu Chen to be stubborn, and he was so arrogant that he couldn’t keep up with the words behind him. .

He couldn't keep up, then the others rushed to ask: "Lu Chen, then why do you think that "Swordsman" can create miracles and reverse the audience's impression of martial arts movies?"

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Of course, with the dedication and hard work of all the cast members and staff of "Swordsman", I believe that this movie can bring you a completely different viewing experience. In fact, it is said so much. Let the audience verify it by themselves!"

This rhythm is wrong...

The reporters around Lu Chen did not put any irritating remarks from Lu Chenkou. Instead, there was a feeling that he was brought with rhythm.

They came here, but they didn't help the "Swordsman"!

However, Lu Chen did not give them another chance. He lifted his wrist and looked at the watch and said: "The time is almost up, I will be with you first. Thank you, we will talk again next time."

When he spoke, he turned and walked toward the theater, leaving the dumbfounded reporters behind him to ignore them.

Lu Chen is very clear, he said more, and will not change the inherent thinking of others. Only iron-like facts can break all doubts, so there is no need to waste time.

At this moment, many of the guests who came to the premiere were gathered in the lobby of the theater. There were also drinks and refreshments to entertain guests. Many people chatted in twos and threes.

Chen Feier took Tian Tian and came over. The latter flew to the capital yesterday. He specially participated in the premiere and lived in the home of the two.

Lu Xi also followed and said: "People have come almost, can start."

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

Finally I have to start!

He took a deep breath and felt a sigh of relief and confusion.

And this feeling has not appeared for a long time.

Perhaps the recent pressure is a bit big, maybe this film carries too many expectations of him, and will soon face the test of the market, just like the students enter the examination room of the college entrance examination!

At this time, Chen Feier took his arm.

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

It is trust, support, encouragement...
