Chapter 78 Premiere of
A few hours later, the group of experts and professors left with generous red envelopes.
Xu Nan kept his promise and paid the money he was due.
These experts and professors had a very good impression of Xu Nan and thought that this young man was very good and they could cooperate with him again if there is an opportunity in the future.
However, Zhang Tong stayed.
The gray-haired old professor pushed up his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose with a serious expression.
"Mr. Xu, are you sure you want me to do this?"
Xu Nan also nodded seriously: "OK."
Thinking of the agreement he had reached with Xu Nan in private, Zhang Tong's expression was a little subtle.
She has been in the industry for many years and has seen many sexy tricks.
But she had never seen this kind of operation before.
Thinking of the generous reward Xu Nan gave her, Zhang Tong nodded.
"Since Mr. Xu is sure, don't worry, I will abide by the agreement."
After saying that, Zhang Tong left.
As a retired professor, she doesn't want to worry about anything else, as long as the money is enough.
Anyway, Xu Nan took the blame in the end.
After Zhang Tong left, Xu Nan immediately briefly edited the material, cut it into a short film, and posted it online.
Again, although these experts and professors are essentially fake, their names are still very deceptive, and there are still many people who fall for this trick.
They were really fooled when they saw so many senior experts and professors in the industry bragging about this movie.
A movie that everyone says is good must be really good.
By the way, Xu Nan bought another wave of soft press releases to brag about.
He really spent a lot of money to promote the movie.
The effect is also amazing. Netizens have expressed their expectations for the movie. Xu Nan's previous career in bad movies seems to have been forgotten by everyone.
Occasionally, one or two people mentioned this matter, and it was said that the prodigal son would return without money. Xu Nan was forced to have no choice but to give back to the audience with sincerity this time.
At this point, the movie's momentum has reached its peak.
Even many blockbusters could not compare to the popularity of "Captain China" before its release.
There are many reasons for this momentum. Lin Hongxiu's unique identity and Xu Nan's heavy publicity all accounted for part of it.
It would be an exaggeration to say that most of the entertainment industry was shocked.
Everyone is watching to see what the quality of this movie is.
Does Xu Nan really have real talent and knowledge and become a great director in one fell swoop, or is he like a shooting star that only shines for a moment and then fades away forever.
Everything will be known after the movie is released.
Over there, "Captain China"'s competing film at the same time, "Our Thirty Days" has been released ahead of schedule.
Originally, everyone was supposed to release the movie on the same day, but seeing the exaggerated popularity of "Captain China", Liu Dongdong finally failed to withstand the pressure and released the movie one day ahead of schedule.
If you can get more box office, get more box office. No one knows what will happen next.
When the movie was released, Liu Dongdong specially held a premiere ceremony and finally came to promote it.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but he even sent an invitation letter to Xu Nan.
Xu Nan passed such a good opportunity decisively.
The scale of the premiere of the movie "30 Days of Our Lives" was still amazing.
Produced by Fang Xinghai Film and Television, directed by Liu Dongdong, and several starring actors, they all have extensive connections in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, a large number of insiders were invited to the premiere, and the lineup was extremely exaggerated. In comparison, Xu Nan was a bit inconspicuous.
Now, he is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry. He is somewhat famous, but his reputation is not yet stable, and his status is relatively frivolous. He is indeed unable to compare with other big names.
However, the movie "Captain China" is about to be released, and many reporters still choose to interview him.
"Director Xu Nan, why did you attend the premiere of "Our Thirty Days"."
"Do you think this movie will pose a threat to "Captain China"?"
"Liu Dongdong's movie box office will definitely not be less than 300 million. What do you think?"
Xu Nan handled these reporters' questions easily.
There were many celebrities and big names here today, and these reporters didn't pester Xu Nan. They just asked a few questions and then went to pester others.
When he learned of Xu Nan's arrival, Liu Dongdong's expression was a little strange.
Damn, Xu Nan is really here.
This guy.
His mood was a little subtle for a moment.
I am annoyed that Xu Nan was competing with him at the same time, but I am also looking forward to the scene that will become his stepping stone after "Captain China" is released.
But no matter what, he was given the honor to attend his premiere, so of course he had to go there to greet him, talk to him, and show his kindness as a landlord.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but before meeting Xu Nan, Liu Dongdong specially called Zhao Xiaolan.
Zhao Xiaolan’s expression was awkward yet polite.
When it comes to meeting Xu Nan, she feels even more complicated than Liu Dongdong.
When I was young and ignorant, I mistakenly joined the cast of a bad movie, and then the box office of the bad movie exploded.
This feeling is extremely sour.
The movie was super bad, but she just relied on a bad movie to become famous in the industry.
Life is so uneven.
In any case, Xu Nan was kind to her, although Zhao Xiaolan would rather she had never met this guy.
Liu Dongdong took Zhao Xiaolan and Xu Nan to meet.
As soon as they met, Xu Nan took the initiative to shake hands with Zhao Xiaolan.
"Xiaolan, you still have a schedule. I happen to be short of a heroine for my next movie."
Zhao Xiaolan couldn't help but twitched.
It is said that it is a good thing to play the heroine, but why is the first thought in her heart is fear.
It can only be blamed on Xu Nan's operation at the beginning, which left a psychological shadow on her.
Zhao Xiaolan struggled to squeeze out a smile, but didn't know what to say.
"Ahem." Liu Dongdong coughed next to him.
"Xu Nan, thank you for coming to my premiere."
"Don't worry, my movie won't let you down. By the way, you are familiar with Elaine Chao, the heroine of your first movie."
"Familiar, that must be very familiar." Xu Nan nodded with a sincere expression: "Xiaolan is a good actress. I originally wanted her to be our company's movie heroine, but it's a pity that everyone has their own ambitions."
Liu Dongdong smiled.
The queen of movie heroines?
Why don't you say she's the heroine of a bad movie?
Immediately he said in a sinister tone: "Xiao Lan is a good actress. She worked very hard during the filming of the movie. Such an actor is a potential rising star and cannot be buried in bad movies."
Bad movie director is a label attached to Xu Nan. Although no one has mentioned it recently, some people still use it to mock Xu Nan.
Liu Dongdong said this with a bit of a yin and yang feeling.
Because he comes from an academic background, he is at the top of the director's contempt chain.
He thought Xu Nan would be very angry after saying this.
Unexpectedly, Xu Nan nodded seriously: "Ella Chao is indeed a very good actor. I knew it when I made the movie."
"Director Liu, I look forward to the wonderful performance of your movie."
