Chapter 168 The preview and giving the ticket with a mouthful of big white teeth
Chapter 168 Preview and big white teeth (fifth update, give me tickets!)
There will be a road show in Xingtai on the 18th.
Wang Hui left early today, and he had to communicate well with his family.
After all, communication is not convenient these days. There are only two telephones in his village, so he has to talk about things like organizing thirty people to watch movies immediately.
Calculating the time, I should be home by now, but this problem arose.
Jiang Yan asked on the spot: "Why are there so many people?"
He remembered that when planning, Wu Yong asked Wang Hui how many positions he wanted. Wang Hui asked for thirty positions, which was a big deal.
The result is now six to seven times higher than the standard, which is too exaggerated.
Wu Yong explained:
"It's still a problem of being too famous. This matter also has something to do with us..."
This matter still has to start from the time of filming.
When Wang Hui was on the set, he was very hard-working, humble and studious, so the two protagonists liked him very much and regarded him as a younger brother.
So after coming to the Mainland for promotion, the two protagonists mentioned Wang Hui from time to time during interviews, which made Wang Hui's fame soar very quickly.
In addition, Jiang Yan added another show in Xingtai, saying that he would make the main star Wang Hui.
So the local newspapers in Xingtai also focused on promoting Wang Hui.
He said how hard it was for the actors who came from this place, but later they were appreciated and finally succeeded. They are the pride of Xingtai...
Then the people of Xingtai saw that they had a star who was favored by the King of Heaven, the Movie King and Jiang Yan.
This is incredible.
So Wang Hui suddenly became an iconic figure in Xingtai.
Then the news spread to the village.
It happened that Wang Hui returned home in fine clothes at this time.
So friends of friends, classmates of classmates, and neighbors in the village, who were close friends, all came.
Then the problem becomes complicated.
Wang Hui's thirty seats were suddenly not enough, so he had to call Wu Yong for help.
When Jiang Yan heard this, he touched his nose and couldn't laugh or cry.
He just wanted to make Wang Hui more angry, but he didn't expect that he would be like this.
Suddenly famous, it is understandable that I would be confused when encountering such a thing.
So he asked: "What does Wang Hui himself mean?"
"He wanted to refuse," Wu Yong said.
That's okay. Jiang Yan nodded when he heard this.
Knowing the rejection shows that Wang Hui still knows something in his heart.
But he asked again: "Then what do you mean by telling me?"
Wu Yong said helplessly: "Wang Hui can't refuse."
"Can't refuse?" Jiang Yan wondered, "This kind of thing shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"Wang Hui originally planned to invite his family, friends, and classmates, so thirty seats are definitely enough." Wu Yong explained, "But he hasn't been back for three years, and all his relatives and friends are getting married and having children.
, the population has increased significantly. The most important thing is that when he went back and talked about it, his grandma said that in the past, his family was poor and Wang Hui grew up relying on the help of his neighbors. Now that he is prosperous, he can even watch a movie.
Don’t you want to call them?”
As he said that, Wu Yong said helplessly: "It's Wang Hui's fault. He said the tickets were free. When grandma heard this, she thought it was just a movie showing in the commune. It's a good thing. That's even more embarrassing. Then she yelled, this time
, the number of people increased again. Wang Hui also said that there is a fee for the extra space, but the old man didn't understand. When he heard that he wanted money, he refused to go. The old man didn't go, so Wang Hui's hard work was not in vain.
That’s it.”
"So either everyone will go, or no one will go, but if no one goes, Wang Hui will be the main star, and not a single family member will be present, which is outrageous."
After hearing this, Jiang Yan asked: "Won't he discuss it with the villagers? He said there are only thirty positions, and there are too many."
Wu Yongdao: "It's okay that everyone doesn't know, but now we all know. There are thirty positions, who to choose? One choice will make you feel closer and closer."
"According to the genealogy!" Jiang Yan said.
"There are only three people in Wang Hui's family. He, his grandmother and his father, the rest are all equally close." Wu Yong said helplessly,
"And when a big star comes, will the children in the village not want to see it?"
"So if Wang Hui only wants three positions, this matter will be easy to handle. But if there are thirty positions, and all of them are known, it will be a big problem. If it is not handled well, Wang Hui will not be a human being inside and outside."
Jiang Yan frowned and said, "There are so many things going on. Why doesn't our village have this?"
Wu Yong said speechlessly: "You will know when you go back..."
Before he finished speaking, he realized that there was no one in Jiang Yan's family, so he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that..."
Jiang Yan smiled and said he didn't care, and then asked Wu Yong, "What do you mean by this?"
"We have to cut through the mess quickly. Whether it's drawing lots or blindly choosing, we can choose thirty. After all, the tickets for the rest of the positions have already been sold."
Wu Yong said seriously, "And as a public figure, he must learn to refuse! Now it's still a matter of a movie ticket. In the future, he doesn't know how to refuse dinners with friends, invitations or even bets. What happens if something goes wrong?"
Do it? So no matter how difficult it is, you have to solve it. If you feel uncomfortable, just swallow it and treat it as a lesson. Who made him not communicate it in advance?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan agreed: "That's right, and from the company's point of view, if the rules are set, you must abide by them."
Then Jiang Yan changed the topic and said, "But as a company, we also have to consider it from the artist's point of view. It's right to learn to refuse, but we also have to give him a choice. Wang Hui is doing it for his grandma this time.
This is very good, so we simply help him to the end and give him a plan to make him feel confident."
After saying that, Jiang Yan said: "Let's book another movie hall. It doesn't need to be too big, as long as it can accommodate those people. Keep it for later use. Then tell Wang Hui that if he really can't show his face and refuse, we have this
I'll give him the full plan. As for Andy and Chaowei, I'll make an appearance at that time, but it won't be a formal meeting. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wu Yong laughed when he heard this: "Is this necessary?"
"This is not just for him!" Jiang Yan said with a smile, "Just think about Wang Hui's matter this way. Can you think of it as a public relations crisis? Think about it, if he doesn't handle it well, he
Regardless of whether I feel good or not, what do the people in his village think of him? For a public figure, the damage to his image is more serious than anything else."
"So, let's take a long-term view and regard this small incident as a crisis rehearsal. No matter what we do in the future, we must make several plans. Do you understand?"
"I didn't think well." Wu Yong said with some shame.
"You have to be a big housekeeper, and at the same time you have to take care of the brokerage work of three people. The key is that you don't have much experience, so you will definitely not be able to take care of it." Jiang Yan sighed.
After all, Wu Yong's abilities are limited. Now his stall is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone comes to him for everything. It's really hard to keep up.
"Xiao Yan, how about I just take care of the internal affairs from now on..." Wu Yong said at this time.
He also feels that he has more than enough ambition but not enough energy, his cultural level is low, and he is reluctant to do many things.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan is so famous that he can't handle all the business. If it weren't for Jiang Yan, these two artists in the company would really die at their hands.
Therefore, Wu Yong felt that it would be better for him to be an administrator, to be a good housekeeper, and to provide Jiang Yan with security.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan thought for a while and said, "We'll talk about this after we've been busy for a while. Let's discuss it in the long run."
"Okay, then I'll go and get busy." Wu Yong nodded and went out.
Jiang Yan, on the other hand, looked at the pile of business cards thoughtfully.
...
XT Shiwang Village.
Wang Hui was trying to be patient and explain to his grandma: "Grandma, those thirty seats are free of charge, and the rest will be spent!"
Grandma was deaf and asked loudly: "How much does it cost?"
Movie ticket prices in 1998 varied greatly, ranging from dozens of dollars to expensive to a few yuan or even cents.
Tickets for Xingtai Cinema are not expensive, but Andy and Jiang Yan are coming today, so many ticket prices have already been increased to over 80 by scalpers.
So Wang Hui gritted his teeth and shouted directly: "One hundred!"
After listening carefully, grandma was shocked and shook her head: "I'm not going, I'm not going, what are you spending the money on? You haven't married yet!"
Wang Hui continued to explain helplessly: "Ours doesn't cost money, others do!"
Grandma frowned and said: "If you want money, don't go, keep it to get a wife!"
"Let's go by ourselves, no money required!" Wang Hui yelled again.
"Without any money, I can call you Uncle Wang Gui, Uncle Da Mang, your cousin, your aunt... call them all!"
Wang Hui's scalp was throbbing with veins, come on, he's in an endless loop again, why can't he explain it!
So what can we do about this? Or just cheat him when the time comes.
As for the others, just set up a table in the village and invite them to watch a movie?
Not to mention that there is no place, even if there is a place, he can't afford it. There are so many people, and the ticket price is so high, it adds up to ten thousand or twenty thousand!
Just when I was worried, my cell phone rang.
Ten minutes later, Wang Hui hung up the phone, feeling deeply moved.
The company booked a separate venue for him and also invited Andy Chaowei to come alone.
Now the grandma's problem is solved, and he can earn back face in front of the villagers.
Wang Hui naturally understands how much of a favor this is. After all, this is his family matter. The boss can choose not to care about it. After all, he has done enough.
So what else can I do, I just have to work harder in the future!
...
On November 17, the "Infernal Affairs" road show was a success in Shimen City, and the book signing was also a success.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on November 18th, the team appeared in a theater in Xingtai to start their road show.
The 800 seats were fully occupied, and there were also many standing tickets. The scene was very lively.
After the two protagonists and Jiang Yan appeared, the audience cheered, but the enthusiasm was not as enthusiastic as Wang Hui's appearance.
"Son of Xingtai - Wang Hui!"
The huge words on the banner made Jiang Yan almost dig out the three rooms and one living room, and Wang Hui blushed again as expected.
However, the thirty relatives sitting in the audience gave him strength, and Wang Hui held back his tears.
After the regular process ended, at 5:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Yan, Wang Hui and several leading actors came to the venue next door.
This was a temporarily reserved venue, and there were more than two hundred groups of Wang Hui's relatives and friends sitting inside.
The simple meeting gave Wang Hui more face.
After the ten-minute meeting, Jiang Yan and others left. It was not official in the first place, and ten minutes was enough.
Then it was time to play a movie, but at this moment, a child of sixteen or seventeen years old stumbled in and almost bumped into Jiang Yan.
"Maren'er, sit down quickly, you're so frizzy." Wang Hui immediately scolded him angrily.
When the child heard this, he didn't say anything or walk away. Instead, he showed his big white teeth and looked at Jiang Yan as he smiled stupidly.
