Chapter 624: Movie screening 3
The test screening of “the red sun” was scheduled for this Sat.u.r.day in the test screening Hall of a city. At the Lu family mansion, old Mrs. Lu kept asking Lu Jingqing to bring Fu Zhi home for a happy reunion, but Fu Zhi did not have the time at all. As the biggest investor of the upcoming movie, Fu Zhi had her own matters to attend to.
Things like signing contracts with Film Critics, working with internet celebrities, going to roadshows to promote the film, and so on. He was so busy that he didn’t have the time to suppress old Mrs. Lu, who he hadn’t seen in a long time.
When she got up in the morning, the Lu family’s driver sent Fu Zhi to the entrance of the production team.
When Fu Zhi went to the office, Feng Bo was discussing the contract with several Film Critics.
Before he could open the office door, he heard an unfriendly conversation inside.
“We already informed you about the test screening this Sat.u.r.day half a month ago. The contract has already been printed out in black and white, and we’re just waiting for the signing to be done today. Now, you’re telling me that you’re not free?”
Feng Bo’s voice was vigorous and angry, and it did not sound easy to deal with. However, the film Critics sitting opposite him did not seem to be afraid at all.
“Director Feng, don’t be angry. The situation in the entertainment industry is ever – changing. We don’t have the time, so we can’t help it!”
One of the male internet celebrities with bright red nail polish said on behalf of the film Critics,”Besides, we didn’t sign a contract, did we? We’re both unmarried, so you’ll have to allow us to have some unexpected situations. ”
“How about this? you can look for other verified accounts. There aren’t many things in China, but there are many internet celebrities and film Critics!”
The man’s voice was coy and carried on with his own course.
Feng Bo’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. A wave of anger rushed from the bottom of his heart to his head. He shouted,””There are only five days left until this Sat.u.r.day. Why did you have to drag it out until this day? where am I supposed to find famous internet celebrities like you?”
He pinched his forehead, took a deep breath, and told himself not to be angry.
But,
Why aren’t you angry!
He knew about the MU family’s various invitations to famous internet celebrities. If they chose not to attend the test screening of ‘red sun’ at this time, what would happen next was obvious.
“If you feel that the price you’re offering is not suitable, the production team can raise the price accordingly. But if you simply don’t want to come and want to partic.i.p.ate in the activities of the ‘Nian Bai’ production team …”
After a pause, Feng Bo glared at the group of people on the sofa opposite him.”This is what it means to have no industry ethics and no sense of shame!”
The group of Film Critics sitting on the sofa were unhappy and said,”
“Director Feng, we’re all understanding people. There are some things that only you and I need to know, so why do you have to say such ugly words!”
“We went to the production team for ‘on white’, but it’s not because they offered us a lot of money. It’s because Zhang Yuanhui and the MU group are famous and have never produced a failed movie before. He promised us that he’ll show us in his next movie when he has the chance!”
“Who doesn’t want to watch some comedy and romance films during the new year? who wouldn’t feel stifled watching a war film? How do you want us to promote a movie with such a big structure that kills people?”
“If you think I have no morals, then I think your ‘red sun’ is not worthy of my film review! What I need is high – end, elegant, and high – end things. Your crew will only lower my awesomeness!”
“Do you really think your crew is invincible after buying a few Trending Searches? Looking at most people’s trends on the internet, who didn’t like movies and TV series adapted from the big ip “nianbai”? Young people need this kind of mutual love and moving feelings!”
“…”
Then, there was a ‘Bang Bang Bang’.
Fu Zhi, who was standing outside the door, heard someone kick the chair and yell,”get lost!”
More than ten film Critics and internet celebrities came out of the office.
Among these people, the one with the least Weibo fans had at least a million fans.
When she saw Fu Zhi, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she pouted and swaggered out.”You know what? The MU family said that they’ve invited a lot of reporters to do a live broadcast this time, and there are a lot of big internet celebrities there, and I want to get to know a few of them. ”
“It’s easier to earn money with more people. I have to think of a way to get in touch with director Zhang. I think many internet celebrities would want to join director Zhang’s crew to get familiar with him …”
The crowd went further and further away.
Fu Zhi pushed the door open and went in.
Feng Bo, who was about to throw the doc.u.ments, saw Fu Zhi and his anger instantly turned into embarra.s.sment and a trace of guilt.
He didn’t do a good job with ran ran.
The doc.u.ments that were raised above his head were put down and raised again in the moment he was hot – headed.
“For what?” Fu Zhi asked.
Feng Bo blurted out,”lifting dumbbells.”
“????”
“Ahem.” Feng Bo noticed the subtle change in the air and placed the doc.u.ment on the table. He said honestly,””Miss Fu, Zhenzhen just now …”
“Do we have to find professional film Critics, internet celebrities, and big V for the movie’s test screening?”
Feng Bo’s words were interrupted and he was stunned for a moment.”Of course not. The purpose of the test screening is to invite relevant people in the film industry and other well – known artists. They will attract the audience to buy tickets based on their online attention and the publicity by the reporters.”
The relevant people could not be invited at the moment.
As for those famous artistes …
“Famous artistes have very high net worth. If we sign a contract with them, we’ll probably go bankrupt.”
“Alright, I got it.” Fu Zhi took out her phone.”I’m going out to make a call. You want a celebrity, right? Make the arrangements. ”
“????”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Feng Bo was left dumbfounded.
What do you mean by famous?
There’s a wide range of famous people, right? It covered all walks of life.
He clearly wanted a famous artiste, or the so – called a – list celebrity.
The kind that won Best Actor and Best Actress before was even better. He was the best person who had not come out of retirement for 800 years, but once he did, he would definitely cause a sensation in the entertainment industry!
What did miss Fu say?
excuse,me?Miss Fu, do you want to invite the top ten people who touched China or the leaders of China? can you stop joking with me?
Although you’re shooting a war film, some hot people won’t even care about you, okay?
But could Feng Bo say these words?
Feng Bo couldn ‘t!
Feng Bo could only smile and curse as he picked up the phone to contact Master ye.”Think of a way to contact your friends in the entertainment industry to come to the test screening.”
“I don’t have any friends,” master ye replied coldly.
“…”
*****
Sat.u.r.day’s test screening arrived very quickly.
The test screening Hall chosen by the MU group and Fu Zhi was particularly clever. They inadvertently b.u.mped into each other on the same street, and they were on opposite sides.
When the media in the entertainment industry heard the news, their keen sense told them that there would be a big scoop in today’s test screening, so they swarmed over.
Everyone was busy the whole morning. The test screening Hall was a better clubhouse that Fu Zhi had specially rented. The door was filled with green plants, and further into the room were all kinds of fresh roses.
The Rose petals were red with a tinge of gold, and the color was so beautiful that one would only feel …
They had never seen roses of this color before. It seemed like a newly cultivated species.
Mu Chenxi was done with her styling early in the morning. She wore a white dress and looked at the clubhouse opposite. The staff members of the “red sun” crew were constantly busy moving pots of delicate roses and some expensive medical ma.s.sage chairs that had just been developed by the TZ Research Inst.i.tute into the clubhouse. It was really a big show.
She was jealous, crazily jealous that Fu Zhi, who didn’t have any professional film and television personnel, wanted to make a test screening bigger than the MU family ‘s!
This feeling of defeat in terms of external conditions made mu Chenxi feel uncomfortable all over.
She looked at Fu Zhi’s crew members who were busy. After a while, she adjusted her state of mind and sneered in her heart.
The more you show off now, the more embarra.s.sing you’ll be later!
She raised the livestream in her hand high.
Originally, there were very few live broadcasts and interactions with fans outside the test screening. However, in order to show the strength of the MU group by trampling on Fu Zhi, mu Chenxi specially opened a room with her c.o.c.kfighting account after getting permission from mu Changqing.
From nineo’ clock in the morning, the celebrity friends and movie critics of the two leading actors and actresses appeared on the MU group’s stage one after another.
Dressed in luxurious clothes, high heels, and leather boots, she walked down the red carpet. From afar, she walked over leisurely, exuding an extraordinary aura.
The comments section was flooded with comments.
*****[F ****, this test screening came as a surprise!]
[The MU family is awesome!] Director Zhang was awesome! A – list celebrities like Li Duan, Ouyang Mingming, big V steamed bun not bean bun, Celebrity Madam li … These big shots who didn’t appear in public at events were all invited! [And these Film Critics … Almost half of the entire film critic industry has been invited, right?]
[Do you think that the connections that the MU group has acc.u.mulated over the years are just a joke?]
He jerked [wait, mu Chenxi’s angle … d.a.m.n, it can’t be!] What happened to Fu Zhi? [It’s already nineo’ clock. Why are there so many people whose names I can’t even name?]
[To be honest … Fu Zhi is a very rich student.] Her entertainment circle was at most a TZ Research Inst.i.tute and No. 1 middle school. Everyone knew mu group’s intention of auditioning Sima Zhao on the same day as Fu Zhi. [After all, director Zhang is highly sought after in the eyes of these big V ‘s. Who wouldn’t stick to him like a fly that had smelled sh * t when they see him? it’s obvious why no one is going to Fu Zhi’s side. It’s easy for them to use the test screening to crush Fu Zhi!]
[You don’t have to belittle Fu Zhi like this – who knows if Fu Zhi has a backup plan -]
Wanwan: [hehe, backup plan your mother. The way she scolded director Zhang back then is now backfiring on her. Do you know that this is retribution?] [Is it disgusting for people to watch a movie made by trash Feng Bo?]
****
The netizens discussed the comments in large numbers. Whether they were just watching the fun, mocking, or worried, when Guangyuan finished reading the comments on his phone and told Fu Zhi with a serious expression, Fu Zhi acted as if she didn’t hear anything and remained calm as usual.
Master ye, who was sitting beside Fu Zhi, was also a little nervous. This was his sister’s first movie and he had a good movie to shoot.
He didn’t want Fu Zhi to lose money because of him, even though this small amount of money was dispensable to him.
However, Fu Zhi was not worried at all. Instead, there was a faint smile on her lips. She even noticed that master ye’s hands were shaking in front of the dressing table in an irregular rhythm.
Fu Zhi was very concerned.”Are you having a seizure?”
…”No, after listening to you, I only want domestic violence.”
——
As the minutes and seconds pa.s.sed, the media and professionals from the film industry that mu Chenxi received, including the two main leads, director Zhang, and mu Changqing, were almost all here. Fu Zhi’s side was also nowhere to be seen.
The bullet comments couldn’t help but get a little anxious.
He jerked [where’s Zhizhi?] Where’s my husband master ye? [Where are they?]
—[???The poker – faced master ye had a girlfriend to flatter him? [Xwl, nowadays, any dog can be called an actor in a human skin!]
[The MU family is really vicious. They’re comparing themselves to Fu Zhi in this way. Aren’t they mocking Fu Zhi for having no connections?]
[Your master, Fu Zhi, is also a coward~seeing that the MU group has invited so many people, I’m afraid she won’t even dare to come out at night! Hehehe!]
[F * cking fans, don’t ask where Fu Zhi is. Look at your master hiding in the dark and looking so scared. If she doesn’t invite a large number of a – list celebrities, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to clean up the mess.]
****
The live comments were noisy, and mu Chenxi was happy to see them.
Feng Bo was waiting for an extremely anxious person.
Seeing that it was almost Teno’ clock, he kept urging Fu Zhi.”Miss Fu, even if there aren’t many people here, shouldn’t we go and stand for a while? we can lose people but not our face, right?”
Feng Bo was worried to death.
Fu Zhi raised her hand and looked at the time indifferently. When she realized that it was almost time, she stood up and said,””Let’s go. Come with me to invite someone. ”
Please?
What kind of person do you have to invite even if you’re on the scene?
Feng Bo felt that the word Fu Zhi was very ambiguous.
Fu Zhi took out a large handful of White Rabbit milk candy from her bag and stuffed it into master ye’s hand.”Don’t be nervous, I’m here.” Then, she pinched master ye’s little pinky finger on his right hand.”I’ll back you up.”
The little white rabbit milk candy was still warm from the girl’s palm. It was held by master ye.
Ye sannuan’s heart warmed, but she didn’t forget to say,””Let’s hold the left hand as well. Make sure you’re symmetrical. ”
Fu Zhi was speechless.
I forgot that you’re a troublesome brother.
——
It was only a two to three – minute walk from the dressing room to the door.
As soon as Fu Zhi and the others came out, the reporters and internet celebrities who had been surrounding the MU group immediately noticed them.
The creator was always biased.
The actors in Fu Zhi’s crew, even if it was Guangyuan, were all very good – looking.
Mu Chenxi’s phone was facing Fu Zhi’s direction for the live broadcast. From a distance, she specially said,”Zhizhi, why did you guys only come out now? are you guys going to postpone the test screening? Why don’t you wait for the test screening to end and lend her to you?”
Her words were especially kind, probably because there were many people around, so her tone didn’t have that much tea taste.
The bullet comments were about to burst out laughing. [Low damage, extremely insulting!]
Master ye frowned and was about to say something when Fu Zhi raised her hand and tried to put her arm over his hands.”No need, the person I’m waiting for will be here soon.”
“Really? Zhizhi, it’s best if you have someone to invite you. I’m just worried that with so many professionals here … You won’t invite some ordinary people to deal with them, will you?”
Fu Zhi ignored her and curved her lips into a faint smile.
The next second, the sound of a car engine could be heard.
The sound of tires rolling on the asphalt road was clear and neat.
Fu Zhi looked up and her eyes lit up. She turned around and told master ye,”the person I’ve been waiting for is here.”
