Time flies to the end of December.

After filming "Embroidered Spring Knife", Lin Shu almost stayed at home except for buying some necessities.

That is to say, he would only go out for a walk after not having contact with the outside world for several days.

After checking to make sure nothing was left behind, he dragged his suitcase and left the apartment.

Tonight is the premiere of "Xiu Chun Dao".

As the protagonist who has been talked about a lot recently, it was natural that he would appear at the premiere.

More than ten days before the movie was released, all the promotional videos by the crew of "Xiu Chun Knife" were edited with scenes about him.

Several famous scenes such as "More Money" and "Very Rich" have been released in advance.

If any audience goes to the cinema for Lin Shu, they will find that half of Ding Xiu's scenes in the movie have already been seen by them.

It wasn't until yesterday that the crew finally released the main content of the movie.

However, netizens were not very resistant. After learning that "Xiu Chun Knife" was not a comedy, pre-sale tickets remained at more than 1.1 million.

After getting off the plane, Lin Shu went straight to the premiere of "Xiu Chun Dao".

Under the guidance of the staff, he met the cast and crew in the lounge inside the theater.

"Hey, isn't this our Jiaqian brother!"

As soon as Lin Shu opened the door, a familiar voice rang.

The person who made the joke was none other than Li Dong, who had a good relationship with him on the set.

Li Dong wore a black suit and looked at Lin Shu with a playful smile on his face.

"It's okay to send a message to tease me a few days ago. Why don't you let me go when we meet!" Lin Shu raised his hand and sighed helplessly.

A few days ago, when "Jiaqian Jushi" was at its peak, Li Dong would send him voice messages almost every day.

What’s embarrassing is that what was sent was Li Dong’s imitation of “I need more money”.

Sometimes Lin Shu also wonders, it's just a movie clip, how fun is it?

After greeting several familiar friends, he sat down next to Li Dong.

Lin Shu's senses were very good for this Wan Jiren.

Even after leaving the crew, they would sometimes ask Lin Shu how he was doing recently.

Unlike some people who are just polite on the surface and look the same on the set, but they look completely different outside the set.

Live like a person in a box.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Bai Jing walked in from outside wearing very simple clothes.

Seeing that everyone was there, he said a little apologetically:

"I was just discussing the premiere process with people from the theater. The delay was a bit long and I kept you waiting!"

"No, no!"

"We haven't seen each other for so long, we had a lot of fun chatting."

"To be honest, if I hadn't seen you, Director Bai, coming in, I would have almost forgotten that today is the premiere!"

"You!" Bai Jing pointed at Li Dong and shook his head helplessly, Bai Jing put away the smile on his face: "The premiere will start soon, I will take you there first."

After hearing Bai Jing's words, several people nodded in agreement.

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, and there are many topics to talk about, tonight is the premiere of "Xiu Chun Knife", and everything is still focused on the movie.

After understanding the premiere process clearly, everyone followed Bai Jing to the premiere screening room.

In the cinema!

Professional film critics, major entertainment journalists... and other people related to the film and television industry have already taken their seats in the seats assigned to them by the organizer.

When a few people walked in, everyone's eyes were focused on them.

Walking under the screen, Bai Jing didn't say anything:

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but I would like to ask you to watch the movie first. I will leave time for interviews later."

After a brief explanation, Bai Jing put down the microphone and took Lin Shu and others to sit down in the second row.

Lin Shu subconsciously walked inside, but felt someone grabbing his clothes.

When he turned around, he saw Bai Jing shaking his head at him.

Although she didn't know what he meant, Lin Shu made room for other actors.

After all the leading actors walked in, Lin Shu and Bai Jing sat down at the outermost seats.

"When I'm being interviewed by the media later, stand next to me!" Bai Jing turned his head and said softly in a suppressed voice.

"Director Bai, this is inappropriate!"

Lin Shu frowned and looked at him with a troubled expression.

The position of the actors on the stage at the premiere basically represents their role in the movie.

certainly!

This is not absolute. For some very famous actors, even if they don't have many roles in the movie, the organizer will put them in a relatively high position.

But the problem is that Lin Shu is not only not famous, but also rarely appears in "Xiu Chun Knife".

As the chief director of the film, Bai Jing will definitely stand in the middle position later.

If you stand next to him and attract media attention, the key point is that it will easily make other actors dissatisfied.

This is what Lin Shu doesn't want to see.

"There's nothing inappropriate. If it weren't for the commotion you made some time ago, there wouldn't be so many media coming to the premiere!"

Bai Jing waved his hand with a firm attitude.

After filming "Spring Knife" a few months ago, he briefly discussed with the heads of major theater chains the proportion of the film's first-day schedule.

The film schedule is jointly decided by various factors such as film studios, theaters, audiences, director’s reputation, etc.

The movie "Xiu Chun Knife" has not done much promotion, and it is also an unfamiliar series to the audience.

In addition, it is a martial arts movie, and he is not very famous, so the theaters only gave 5% of the first-day screenings.

And this is because the theater chain takes into account that several of the leading actors are quite famous, otherwise... maybe not even 5%!

Bai Jing, who was in the post-production stage when he heard the news, felt his heart skip a beat.

The first day's film schedule represents the theater's expectations for the movie.

In other words, from the perspective of several major theater chains, the box office of "Xiu Chun Knife" is destined not to be too high.

Even though Bai Jing knew that his movie was very good and deserved a higher first-day schedule, he still had no choice.

After all, almost all the money invested in the movie was used by him for production.

Without good marketing, not many people will pay attention.

But I didn’t expect that things would take a turn for the worse a few days later.

The news that Lin Shu helped the Siamese police crack down on the theft of eucalyptus was reported by the Siamese official.

When the popularity was at its peak, he took the opportunity to do some publicity for "Xiu Chun Dao".

Although not many people pay attention to it, it is much better than the obscurity before.

Coupled with the popularity of "Additional Money for Households", theaters finally increased their film schedule for "Xiu Chun Knife" to 8%.

Bai Jing, on the other hand, made almost no effort here.

It can be said that the film's 3% increase in film schedules is entirely due to Lin Shu's popularity.
Chapter completed!
