Chapter 174 The premiere begins
"well......"
When he opened his eyes, his body felt a little sore. Lu Ze pulled the quilt over his head to block the sunlight coming in from the window. He lay on his side for a while and got up from the sofa.
There were a pile of finished cans and bottles on the floor in front of him, and the ashtray was already filled with cigarette butts. He rubbed his messy hair, his throat was a little dry, and he went to the kitchen to get some boiled water. One cup was not enough, and he
Got a drink.
I leaned over the sink and rubbed my face twice. When I raised my head, I saw that there was obvious edema on my face and my face was pale. The air conditioner seemed to have been turned on too low last night, and now my whole body was a little stiff.
While he was filling the bathtub with water, Lu Ze went to the study room, turned on the computer, and browsed the environment at home last night at thirty-two times fast forward speed.
He saw himself drinking, leaning on the sofa, eating peanuts, watching SpongeBob SquarePants on TV with an expressionless face, then took a sheet from the room, covered himself with it, and fell asleep.
Then he turned over occasionally in his sleep, maybe because he felt cold, so he covered himself with a quilt and huddled up, but he felt safe and did not let Lu Ze see the side he didn't want to see.
He turned off the computer and lay in the bathtub. The hot water could relieve his physical discomfort and fatigue. The sleepiness came back, and he lay in the bathtub and fell asleep again.
...
"Is this okay, Brother Lu?"
Wang Zixuan straightened Lu Ze's head and pointed it at the mirror. She also looked at it from up, down, left and right angles. She felt good. She picked up her phone and took a few photos of Lu Ze, and finally asked Lu Ze for his opinion.
"It's very good. Do I have to give you a salary increase in the future? Now you can be my assistant and my stylist, so you can almost become a versatile person."
"OK."
Wang Zixuan was not polite, she nodded in agreement and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. In fact, her current expenses were not small. Even if the company reimbursed her for travel and accommodation, and her food was subsidized by the company, her expenses were still very high.
Because she is Lu Ze's assistant, and Lu Ze is now a smart guy. Although she cannot be full of luxury goods, she cannot be full of luxury goods and be compared to other artists' assistants, which will embarrass Lu Ze.
Although Lu Ze never cared about this matter...
Lu Ze stood up, straightened the tie on his chest, called Liu Ying and asked if he could leave now. After receiving Liu Ying's confirmation, he took Wang Zixuan downstairs. There was a Bentley parked on the roadside, still
Manage the car borrowed from the head office.
Lu Ze was about to attend the premiere of "The King of Fighters", and he was still a little nervous. After all, it was his first film after winning the award. After the filming, people would say that you maintained your standards and praise you, but they probably wouldn't work hard.
blow.
But once the filming goes bad, he will fall into the world and ruin his reputation. Then people will say all kinds of unpleasant things. As a result, even if Lu Ze has a good psychological quality, he probably won't be able to accept it.
This situation exists for many people, and Lu Ze is no exception. As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it.
The car was driving on the road, and the car behind it was almost thirty meters away from the Bentley. In fact, during the day in the city, there were not so many people living in a life of luxury and wealth, but more people just working hard and running around. Most of them were ordinary people.
There is a high-end hotel more than a thousand meters east of the venue. After the car entered the underground parking lot, the staff rushed over, handed the walkie-talkie to Liu Bin, and adjusted the channel before leaving.
After a while, another car came in. Lu Ze didn't know who the people in the car were, and he wasn't curious. He took out his mobile phone and played with it to pass the time.
In fact, I didn’t wait for long, about twenty minutes later, a notice from the staff came over the intercom.
"Director Liu, you can start the car now. Producer Zhao will follow behind... Then follow the designated order, put the cars behind and wait. Okay, Mr. Lu, you can start the car. Mr. Tang, your
The car is following behind."
Liu Bin drove up to follow him. He was about 200 meters away from the screenwriter, driving at a speed of 30 miles, and then stopped at the designated location. Lu Ze could already see people surrounding the venue through the front windshield.
of people.
There were a lot of people at the scene, which may not be comparable to the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, but in terms of movie premieres, it can be said to be very prestigious.
Although the two most popular people in the crew are Lu Ze and Xu Lu, the other actors present are all veteran actors with high status. No one can say that they are inferior in strength, but in terms of appeal, they are still not as good as the younger ones.
of one generation.
After all, it was a big investment of 200 million, not counting the cost of advertising. With so much money, we only found a new actor and an outstanding young actress, and they also made action movies. Many people were curious.
How did Liu Ying spend so much money?
There are rumors on the Internet that Lu Ze's salary skyrocketed to 30 million after becoming the best actor, but he was decisively slapped in the face by insiders. The film's salary is relatively transparent, and the crew does not need to disclose it. People who know the market can infer that Lu Ze's salary is relatively transparent.
The salary will never exceed 10 million, and the salary of other actors should be lower than Lu Ze. After all, Lu Ze is the male lead, and this is an action scene.
But after this calculation, another rumor spread on the Internet: a money laundering movie.
The actors didn't spend much money, the script didn't cost much. An action movie with few special effects, but the total investment is more than 200 million. It's not money laundering, do you believe it?
This kind of rumor spread wildly for a time, and even led to a serious drop in the expectations of movie fans for this movie. Before they even watched it, it was equated with a money laundering drama.
Liu Ying was also quite helpless. He dared to guarantee the votes. He spent a lot of money, but not a penny of the investment money went into his own pocket, nor did it go back to the investors' pockets. But with this kind of promise, he said
If you export it, no one will believe it.
He was already prepared that the box office on the first day of the premiere was not as good as he expected, but Liu Ying still had confidence in the film. After all, the quality was there, and he was just waiting for word-of-mouth to ferment.
Moreover, the reputation before the release will not affect the film schedule. He has already reached a satisfactory film schedule ratio, 36.53%, which is the first in the film schedule today.
A total of 14 movies were released in this year’s May Day holiday, and only one imported war movie was released, accounting for 23.76%, ranking second.
The third place is the domestic comedy "The Star", accounting for 14.32%, and the fourth place is the domestic romance film "Autumn Brocade", accounting for 8.91%.
Liu Ying predicts that in the end it will be these four movies that will start a May 1st war, and the remaining ten movies will all be trash, and they will all be run over and die if they are run over by toy cars.
First, Liu Ying, the producer, producer, screenwriter and other big names took the lead, followed by Lu Ze.
Bentley drove slowly to the gate of the venue. He had already seen people holding their own light signs, and there were quite a few of them. This kind of scene was indeed the first time for Lu Ze.
After getting off the car, the cheers suddenly started. Even though he had seen this situation many times, Lu Ze was still excited. Filming was boring. He had been hiding in the crew all year long, just for this moment of cheering?
Lu Ze bowed to all the supporters present and expressed his gratitude. Lu Ze didn't know why it was always hot summer when he participated in the event, and he could always see the supporters present with their faces flushed from the heat.
"When it's hot, go out quickly to avoid heat stroke."
He walked to the crowd, took out a pen from his pocket, and signed his name on all the people who came for him.
Although he didn't think his signature was worth much, they couldn't come back empty-handed. A signature was still an object, so this trip wasn't in vain, was it?
"Lu Ze, why are you so fat and old!"
A girl next to him shouted loudly. When Lu Ze heard the accent, he knew he was from the same country. But when a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, it’s okay if you come up and give me a shot...
"Don't talk! Shut up! When you get hot, rest as soon as possible. Take care of the boys around you, protect the girl, and implement the plan. I'm leaving."
Lu Ze's fans burst into laughter. The girl didn't expect Lu Ze to "teach her", so she felt a little embarrassed and hid behind the crowd with a blushing face.
After letting reporters and friends take a few photos in front of the curtain, Lu Ze signed his name, bowed to thank everyone present, and turned around to enter the venue.
Chapter completed!
