EFB Chapter 77 Premiere Begins
Chapter 77 Premiere Begins
But the media went crazy, standing up and taking pictures nonstop.
"Isn't that the CEO of one of the three giants of the film industry? And he still says Han Ziming isn't a rich second-generation? Has no background?"
"It can't be wrong, right? Didn't we do a survey when 'The Beginning' became a hit? Just a simple student."
"Looks like coming tonight was the right decision. I just wonder how the movie is. Is it just hype online or something else?"
"I can accept the CEO of Fiber Optics Group coming, but the bigwig from China Film Group coming is just unbelievable. This little movie isn't even worth his visit, is it?"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and film! It's all about sales figures, it's all about money!"
Unlike the media's excited frenzy.
Han Ziming greeted the group with a helpless expression, saying, "President La, President Wang, President Zeng, what brings you all here? You've already seen the movie, do you want to see it again?"
La Peikang laughed and said, "Isn't this to support you, kid? We invested in this movie too, so of course we hope it makes a lot of money!"
"Yes, Xiao Han, your film doesn't have any big stars, so we came here to support you and make the publicity better."
Mr. Wang from Fiber Optics and Mr. Zeng from Wanda nodded in agreement.
Han Ziming: "Thank you for your support, three CEOs. Please take your seats, let's get ready to begin."
After he finished speaking, he arranged for the three CEOs to sit in the center of the first row.
Then they arranged for Sun Qian and Ren Min to sit in the fifth row, and didn't have time to chat for long.
The ceremony began soon after, with Xie Nanlai serving as the host.
Wen Muye, along with Peng Peng, Mai Mai, Xiao Ye, Xiao Hu, Xiao Wang, the Ghost Sisters, and others, played some simple interactive games and answered questions from reporters and some audience members.
However, Han Ziming didn't go up; he had to chat with the CEOs.
The Q&A session ended quickly, and the movie started at midnight. The lights in the theater went out the instant the movie began, and everyone fell silent.
Soon, the screen showed Shi Fen and Shi Miao playing around in a cramped room, with Shi Fen doing all sorts of funny pranks on Shi Miao.
Shi Miao was so angry that she jumped up and down. The two chased each other, and the scene of books and toys being thrown everywhere made the audience laugh out loud.
After all, 50 of them are siblings, which made me feel warm and fuzzy with laughter.
Hearing the audience laugh, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao whispered to each other, "If the rest of the movie is this good, it's a sure thing. At least the beginning didn't fall apart."
Film critics were surprised, saying that Wen Muye's directing skills were good, and Han Ziming's screenwriting ability was also quite good. Mozi Films had something special!
As time passed, the film came to an end.
Shi Miao knew that her brother was pretending to be bad on purpose, and finally chased him to the station, where she saw Shi Fen.
Shi Miao cried out in tears, "You left me behind!"
Many viewers were initially moved by Shi Fen's selfless love for his younger sister, but after hearing this, they were deeply touched.
It instantly touched the softest spot in my heart, and I couldn't help but shed tears along with the brother and sister in the movie.
Han Ziming glanced at the comments from film critics and audience members, and seeing that many people had cried, he immediately felt relieved.
The movie ended quickly, the lights came on, and the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Of course, there was also a lot of crying, especially among the siblings. Many people cried because they envied the sibling relationship.
One film critic commented in the notebook: "The casting was very successful, the actors were funny, the comedic 'surface emotions' were built up gradually before exploding in a powerful climax, the storytelling was good, 8.7 points!"
Guo Fan whispered to Wu Jing, "Old Wu, this movie is a sure thing. This isn't some sibling film, it's practically a tragic love story. I bet the audience in the back cried their eyes out in the second half. It'll get at least an 8.5 out of 10."
The CEOs sitting in the front row nodded in agreement, especially the three major film companies, who all smiled broadly.
The actors in the back row also heard the conversation between the two directors.
The actors in the second row were the happiest, after all, they were the main actors in the movie.
The third row was mostly filled with people from Han Ziming's own company. Even Jing Tian was very happy, after all, Mozi Film and Television Production is quite capable.
Zhang Ruonan wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, letting go of her tears. Having a younger sister and brother, she was deeply moved.
Meanwhile, Hu Ge, Huang Xiaoming, and others in the fourth row looked on with envy.
At this point, Xie Nan took the stage to create an atmosphere and prepare to give the final closing remarks.
Did everyone think the movie was good?
"It's awful, I'm crying!"
"Seriously, can't we just enjoy the New Year in peace?!"
"Yeah, how are we supposed to celebrate the New Year like this!"
Xie Nan looked at everyone's excited expressions.
So, as planned, Han Ziming was brought on stage. This plan was devised by the publicity staff on the fiber optic side, and Han Ziming himself was unaware of it. The main purpose was to generate publicity and buzz.
At this moment, he only heard Xie Nan say, "Since everyone thinks it's bad, then let's have President Han come up on stage and explain why he made it up this way, okay?"
The crowd erupted in cheers: "Great! I was moved to tears! We can't let him get away with this!"
The more sensible media professionals were even more vehement—this was a sales target! They clamored, "President Han, hurry up and come out to appease them!"
"Is this kid really that famous?" said Mr. La.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment, and just as everyone was speechless.
Wang Changtian, the media company CEO and one of the planners, spoke up: "This kid's TV series is a huge hit, and he's good-looking, so he's gained a lot of fans. He's practically a second-tier celebrity now. I specifically arranged for him to go on stage so I can ride his coattails!"
Han Ziming glared at Li Feng, annoyed. "What's going on?"
Li Feng looked embarrassed and said, "Hehe, boss, it was Mr. Wang who told me not to say it. I just thought you could go on stage and generate some buzz since there aren't many big stars in this movie."
Han Ziming: "Okay, thank you so much!"
After speaking, Han Ziming slowly walked onto the stage. Xie Nan handed her the microphone and asked:
Xie Nan: "President Han, the adaptation is so disheartening. I wonder if you have any confidence in the film's box office performance?"
Han Ziming: "Of course there are!"
Xie Nan: "So how much do you think the box office will be?"
Han Ziming: "100 billion!!!"
Xie Nan: "Take away the young master?"
audience:???
Film critic: ? ? ?
The actors: ? ? ?
Director and others: ? ? ?
The audience was speechless.
Seeing everyone speechless, Han Ziming grinned mischievously: "Just kidding!"
The audience booed loudly as Han Ziming stirred things up!
Seeing everyone's cooperation, Han Ziming said, "Tell me, are my box office expectations high or low?"
The audience below the stage readily echoed Han Ziming's sentiments, shouting, "Brilliant!"
He said seriously, "Seeing everyone watching the movie so attentively, I think 5 million should be no problem!"
Han Ziming didn't care about any of that. He just wanted to build up the hype. He had already done so much work. In his previous life, this movie had almost grossed 4 million. This one wouldn't be any worse.
There was a gasp from the audience, because this was Han Ziming's first film adaptation, and the box office prediction was already very high!
"Wow!"
"Wow, amazing!"
"So domineering!"
Film critics discussed among themselves, "They're really daring to say this; this movie might not be suitable for festive occasions, right?"
Seeing Han Ziming's boastful claim, Xie Nan laughed and said, "It seems Mr. Han is very confident! Then let's look forward to 'Take My Brother Away' becoming a box office hit!"
After finishing speaking, he prepared to leave the room, at which point Han Ziming's novel fans started to stir things up.
"Hey author, give us a performance! It's so late at night, it's a rare treat for us!"
"Yeah, it's so heartbreaking to watch, you have to do something for me!"
Then someone shouted, "Sing one!"
Soon, the voice ignited the entire venue like a fuse, and everyone echoed it.
Sing one!
