Chapter 643: Truman's World

Chapter 643: Truman's World

Fix the car.

The girl left first.

When Gu Dong was about to move on, Lin Yuan suddenly received a call from Lao Zhou:

"You don't need to go. The woman seems to have some urgent matters to deal with. I don't have time to meet you today. This is not very honest. I have already severely criticized them. Don't be too angry if you make a trip for nothing. Let's make an appointment next time and ask her to come and find you!"

"Um."

I don't feel anything.

Lin Yuan pretended to be out for a drive.

The two returned to the company.

On the way back, Gu Dong suddenly said with emotion:

"Just now, the young lady looked like a rich person. I didn't expect that she would repair cars. Without her, we would have broken down on the road. Besides, she is so beautiful, even more beautiful than many female stars. It's a pity that I forgot to ask her How do you take care of your skin..."

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and meditated.

Rest after the battle.

He felt that his bargaining skills were rusty.

You must know that he is the super bargaining king in the hearts of Jian Jian and Xia Fan. In the past, when the three of them went shopping, he would usually be able to cut it in half, but this time he didn't take advantage of it.

Back at the company, Lao Zhou didn't mention the blind date anymore.

When eating at night, the mother at home didn't mention it again.

Lin Yuan just regarded it as a small episode in life.

the next day.

Lin Yuan came to the company again, but saw Lao Zhou and a group of people from the film department preparing to go out.

"Do you want to be together?"

Seeing Lin Yuan, Lao Zhou smiled and said, "We organized a screening of The Truman Show."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment: "The film screening hasn't started yet? Hasn't the schedule already been set?"

Lao Zhou explained: "Many theaters are willing to pay for your movie, so everyone has set the schedule in advance, but the specific schedule still depends on the quality of the movie."

"Well, I won't go."

Contacting theater representatives requires certain communication skills, and Lin Yuan is not good at dealing with such situations.

His way of dealing with various situations is very simple.

Only a smile that meets society's expectations will be shown.

"Then let's go first."

Lao Zhou waved his hand and led the film department to a certain screening location that had been booked in advance.

The location of the screening will be Times Studios in Sioux City.

After Lao Zhou and others arrived, they greeted the representatives of the major theaters at the door.

"Representative Zhang is here!"

"Representative Wang, please come in!"

"Representative Li, long time no see!"

"..."

Movies are an art of division of labor. Not only the screenwriter, director and actors perform their duties, but Lao Zhou and others also have the task of arranging a viewing meeting after the filming is completed.

After the screening is over.

Regarding the arrangement of the films and the distribution of the theaters, Lao Zhou and others had to fight with the representatives of the various theaters.

in the crowd.

Dadi Cinema Ye Hongyu also came.

This is the second time Ye Hongyu participated in Xianyu's movie screening.

The last time she participated in the screening of "Hachiko the Faithful Dog".

But that time, Ye Hongyu, known as the Iron Lady, couldn't cry.

This time Ye Hongyu came very low-key, greeted Lao Zhou briefly, and walked directly into the theater.

The one who came with Ye Hongyu was a market analyst from Dadi Cinema, named Pan Lei.

The so-called market analysis is to evaluate the box office of the movie.

In fact, this is the job of the representatives of the theater chain, but sometimes the representatives of the theater chain will also bring more professional analysts.

Because such professional analysts are often more accurate in judging the value of movies.

...

After taking a seat in the theater.

Pan Lei teased, "Did Red Fish bring enough tissues today?"

As the strong lady of Dadi Cinemas, Ye Hongyu claims that watching any movie will never cause her emotions to fluctuate.

But the last time I watched "The Hachiko of the Dog", Ye Hongyu turned over hard.

After the news spread, many people in the company liked to tease Ye Hongyu about it.

Today is the screening of Xianyu's movie, so Pan Lei will bring up the old story again.

"I won't cry anymore today, but you should take care of yourself."

Ye Hongyu rolled his eyes.

Pan Lei said: "Today we can only laugh, not cry. After all, this is a comedy."

The hero of today's "The Truman Show" is He Sheng.

He Sheng starred in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" and became popular. He has been a comedian since his debut. After that, all the types of movies he participated in were comedies.

Today's He Sheng is already a well-known comedy star in the comedy circle.

When he saw "The Truman Show" starring He Sheng and the screenwriter was Xian Yu, Pan Lei subconsciously thought it was a nonsensical comedy.

This is also the idea of ​​​​representatives of other theaters.

However.

At this moment, Lao Zhou suddenly walked to the front of the stage and said a word with the microphone: "Before the movie starts, I need to remind everyone that "The Truman Show" is a literary film."

There was an uproar at the scene.

Ye Hongyu was also a little surprised.

Pan Lei even blurted out: "What is Xingmang doing?"

The scale of this movie screening was not small. Everyone thought this movie was a commercial comedy, but Lao Zhou actually said it was a literary movie?

Are literary films worth making such a big fuss?

Can this thing make money?

What our theaters want is the box office!

good.

It doesn't even matter if it's a literary film.

Xianyu's literary and artistic films should not be too self-indulgent in terms of plot, and they will definitely get some box office.

But what's the matter with you using He Sheng as the number one male?

He Sheng is a comedian through and through!

How can there be nonsensical comedians starring in literary films?

Was the casting director kicked in the head by a donkey?

Can't see the show?

For a while, the theater representatives were a little puzzled.

But after the commotion, the scene quickly quieted down.

None of you here are ordinary audiences, and you know that anything can happen with movies.

Now let's see how Xingmang can round up these spearheads.

If Yuan does not come back, then the film schedule of this movie will be absolutely miserable.

After all, there are no victorious generals in movie theaters.

Even if Xianyu performs well in every movie, no one dares to say that Xianyu's next movie will be a success.

The representatives of the theater chain have seen too many masters who have succeeded several times, but fell down in the end but were never picked up again.

"The problem is not with literary films, but with He Sheng."

After observing the reactions of the theater representatives, Lao Zhou whispered to the members of the film department next to him.

The person from the film department said: "This is Xianyu's insistence, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Lao Zhou smiled: "But if you have seen the finished product, you should know that He Sheng's performance is very good."

"That's true."

During the discussion between Lao Zhou and his colleagues, the screen went dark.

The movie shows the company's brand image of stars, which are stars shining in a starry sky.

then.

A middle-aged man with glasses and deep eyes appeared in the picture, and he was speaking slowly and seriously to the camera:

"We're tired of actors' affectation, we're tired of explosions and computer-generated effects, and in some ways, Truman lives in a fictional world, but he's not fake at all. There's no script. , there is no cue card, although this may not be a masterpiece of a famous teacher, but it is true, this is a memoir of life..."

Swish!

This was obviously only the first scene of the movie, even the first line, but a layer of fine and dense fluff quickly stood up between Ye Hongyu's neck!

Representatives of professional theater chains are always so sensitive to the intention of movies.

Although she couldn't see anything on her expression, she just said something with a strange tone:

"What's this?"

Pan Lei didn't speak, but his eyes were full of surprise, and his scalp felt a little inexplicably numb!

Truman?

Could this be...

If I didn't guess wrong, Xianyu's script idea this time is too terrifying, this is simply a god-level brain hole like a fairy! ! !
