The next day, Li Jin went to Hudan University to pick up Tang Yingruan.
In her previous life, the little girl loved to watch Zhou Xingxing's movies, and she even talked to Li Jin about why she owed him a movie ticket. So whenever a movie with Zhou Xingxing was released in the mainland, she would definitely drag Li Jin along.
Let’s go see it together.
This sentiment is shared by most people born in the 1980s in Mainland China.
So this time, Li Jin didn't forget her either.
"Is it true? Brother Jin, is it true? Can you really go to the premiere?"
"Actually, my classmates and I have known the news for a long time. This is the first time for Xingye to release a movie in the mainland. Many students are preparing to queue up all night to buy movie tickets after the official release!"
Listening to Tang Ying's excited voice, Li Jin smiled.
On the one hand, it is something that can make Tang Ying happy, and there is nothing wrong with doing it.
On the other hand, it can be seen from the performance of Tang Ying and her classmates that "Shaolin Football" will definitely make a lot of money this time.
Whether it's the quality of Shaolin football or Zhou Xingxing's golden signature, as well as the affection of mainlanders for this master, it's enough to guarantee that a box office miracle will be born.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Li Jin said with a smile.
"Brother Jin, will there be many celebrities later?" Tang Ying asked nervously.
Li Jin thought for a while. He had never attended a premiere like this before, but he had seen it in various entertainment news in his previous life. Usually the organizer would invite some friends and celebrities in the circle to help out.
What's more, both Huayi Brothers in the Mainland and Jinqing Entertainment in Hong Kong attach great importance to this premiere. It is regarded as an official attempt for Hong Kong films to enter the mainland market, so the spectacle should not be small.
"It should be possible." Li Jin nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"I'm so nervous." Tang Ying said softly.
"Celebrities are human beings too, so why be nervous? They might want to please you when the time comes." Li Jin said with a smile.
According to Li Jin's current status in the entertainment circles of the two places, saying this is definitely not a boast.
Tang Ying didn't understand that much, so she just thought it was Brother Jin making fun of her.
The car quickly drove to the scheduled location, Jinhui International Cinema.
As the earliest movie theater chain in China that is backed by a state-owned enterprise, Jinhui can be considered the most high-end movie theater currently available.
At this moment, as the premiere theater of Shaolin Football, the place has already been decorated and decorated.
Many reporters were interviewing on both sides, and even more fans who had been selected to attend the premiere were excitedly waiting in line to enter.
But before that, the more important link is the presence of celebrities.
When Li Jin brought Tang Ying to the scene, many celebrities had already appeared.
What I have to admit is that nowadays, whether it is Huayi Brothers or Jinqing Entertainment Group, their status in the entertainment industry is indeed unmatched.
Stars from the Mainland and Hong Kong City, who are slightly higher-end, are all vying to attend the premiere.
Not only is it possible to get Zhou Xingxing’s connections at this premiere, but more importantly, if you are lucky, you can really make a lot of money if you get connected with the top management of Huayi Brothers or Jinqing Entertainment Media.
So when Li Jin took Tang Ying out of the car, what he saw was a grand scene that was no less grand than a top awards ceremony.
"Gong Tianhou, please come today..."
"Best Actor Liang, I heard that you and..."
"Queen Zhang, you recently participated in..."
Nowadays, almost all the famous celebrities from both places in China are present.
Before coming, Li Jin did not inform people from Huayi Brothers and Jinqing Entertainment Media that he would be coming. Even Zhou Xingxing, Li Jin told them that he did not want to make too much fanfare.
Therefore, Li Jin's visit this time was entirely private, and no one knew his whereabouts.
As soon as Li Jin got out of the car with Tang Ying, he was blinded by the flash.
"Relax, these reporters are taking photos of celebrities, we just need to go in by ourselves."
Li Jin saw that Tang Ying was a little nervous and comforted her.
Holding Li Jin's hand tightly, Tang Ying nodded, looking at the stars who were being interviewed by countless reporters with surprise and timidity, and whispered:
"Brother Jin, they have so many people chasing after them for interviews, they are so majestic."
Following Tang Ying's gaze and glancing at the so-called queens, kings, and best-actor queens, Li Jin naturally remembered the way they knelt down and toasted in front of him and spoke cautiously during several meals.
He said with a smile: "If you want, I can praise you. You will not be worse than any of them."
Tang Ying burst out laughing when she heard this, "I don't want it. I can't sing and I don't have such great acting skills. I can't do it."
"In the entertainment industry, if the capital says you can do it, you can do it even if you can't. If the capital says you can't do it, you can do it even if you can." Li Jin said meaningfully.
Tang Ying blinked her eyes. As a simple person who had never been exposed to the dangers of the world, she still didn't quite understand what Li Jin meant by this sentence.
Just as the two were talking and about to enter the venue together, a voice came from behind.
"People in front of you, don't you know this is a red carpet that only celebrities can walk on? Get out of here and stay away!"
This sharp and harsh sound made Li Jin turn his head.
But what they saw standing behind them was a well-dressed woman with a decent appearance and figure.
"This is the guest passage. I am also here to attend the premiere, so I can naturally go here. If you are in a hurry, you can go there first. Why are you so aggressive?" Li Jin said calmly.
The woman sneered, looked Li Jin and Tang Ying up and down, and after making sure they were not from the circle, she said, "Are you guests? Fart!"
"The guests here are all big stars, but I never know you. Are you qualified to leave here?"
"You can tell at a glance that they are either third-rate artists who take advantage of the opportunity to walk on the red carpet, or they are some stupid groupies who are still pretending to be here!"
With that said, the woman pointed to the car behind her arrogantly and said: "Do you know who is in the car behind? The little king of Asian singing and dancing! If you are wise, get out of the way and don't block the road, otherwise you will not be able to eat.
Walk around!"
This woman's arrogant and domineering attitude made Tang Ying, not to mention Li Jin, extremely angry.
"You, you are so unreasonable!"
Tang Ying said angrily.
But the mockery on the woman's face became more and more obvious when she heard this, "Should I tell you to go away or not? What I said is not clear enough? This is not a place for dirty things like you to come!"
"If you want a celebrity's autograph, just go to the back. If you're in a good mood, I might give you an autographed photo. Otherwise, I'll ask the security guards to drive you away. Believe it or not!"
