"Brother Wei, do you think Brother Lu and An Xiao are really related?"
"What do you care about their relationship..."
"No, it was just posted on the Internet a while ago, and I was a little curious."
"Curious Yarn, have you bought a movie ticket?"
"Movie tickets? No..."
"You didn't buy it?"
"No, I thought you would buy it..."
"I also want to buy it for you, but you have to support the development of the company, you know? One more movie ticket means more box office. Reality, you know what is real? We don't do fake things!"
"I have no money..."
"Didn't I spend five thousand to buy your script?"
"Brother Wei! Speaking of this, I'm a little angry..."
"Why are you angry?"
"I asked for seven thousand! Brother Lu obviously gave you seven thousand, but you lied to me and said you only had five thousand. If I hadn't insisted on five thousand, you would have deducted another five hundred!"
"Stealing? Can you say cheating when it comes to a great director? Come on, come on, don't look at me like that. It's bad luck for me. Brother Wei, I'll treat you to a movie today. The most important thing for a man is to be generous. You're so
What great things can be accomplished with a small spirit!"
"..."
"Well, please pay for the drinks..."
"Okay...wait a minute, why do you want me to buy a drink?"
"I am a great director who takes you to see a movie and invites you to such a company with unlimited potential. Do you still ask me to buy you a drink? Do you understand the rules? No wonder you are so poor..."
"..."
Qian Zhong looked at Fatty Wei scolding him, and for some reason he suddenly felt like he had been cheated.
As for Fatty Wei, he remembered his conversation with Lu Yuan.
"If five thousand can come down, then the remaining two thousand..."
"You can press as much as you can, and the rest is yours."
"That's a good feeling!"
He remembered this conversation vividly.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little painful.
Looking at Qian Zhong's stupid look, he felt that he could actually win it for four thousand and five thousand.
But he was afraid that the script would fly away and asked for five thousand...
It’s day!
He suddenly felt very guilty.
Still too young, not calm and cunning enough...
Hey, it’s not cost-effective, it’s not cost-effective!
Otherwise, I can earn an extra two thousand and five thousand.
Failure!

"Ayuan!"
"What?"
"Have you prepared an internal ticket?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"What a rip-off. The tickets are sold out. Is our movie so popular? Or is it some kind of behind-the-scenes operation?"
"???"
Lu Yuan has actually not been very optimistic about the ticket sales of "Buried Alive". After all, "Buried Alive" is not the kind of blockbuster that can attract people and catch people's attention right away.
Being a small-budget production means that it cannot be advertised in various places like those movies.
Without physical publicity, relying solely on online publicity will definitely not work.
It will definitely put a big discount on movie sales.
Even if An Xiao called on everyone to watch the movie on Weibo, Lu Yuan would not think it would have much effect. After all, it was the premiere at midnight.
Who is stupid enough to go to watch a movie in the early hours of the morning after eating enough?
However, when Fatty Wei called and said that all the tickets for Tianhe Cinema were sold out, Lu Yuan was a little dumbfounded.
Then he raised his head and glanced at An Xiao, who was drinking tea in the coffee shop and chatting happily with Wang Jinxue.
He found it incredible.
Could it be that Wang Jinxue was afraid that no one would go to see the movie and it would be embarrassing, so she specially booked the movie?
This is an impulsive rich woman who can drive a Lamborghini and hit her casually. She is really right.
"Lu Yuan, what do you mean by your suspicious look?"
"without……"
"Sold out?"
"Well, Fatty Wei said that today's tickets are sold out."
"Oh." Wang Jinxue nodded, there was nothing strange on his face, and even An Xiao was calm, as if it was an insignificant matter.
When Lu Yuan saw this, he felt a little clear in his heart.
It is indeed a dirty self-produced and self-sold strategy!
First fill up the box office on the first day, and then continue on the second day?
How many pitfalls are there?
"Lu Yuan, what do you mean by your understanding look? Do you suspect that I am cheating on the box office?" Wang Jinxue frowned.
"Ahem, cough, no, actually we understand it most of the time." Lu Yuan did not nod, but just laughed.
"I'm not as dirty as you think. These tickets are real people, not ghost tickets." Wang Jinxue felt that Lu Yuan's eyes were very uncomfortable, and the face that had been smiling while chatting with An Xiao suddenly began to darken.
"Uh?" Lu Yuan felt a little strange when he saw Wang Jinxue's vow.
"Lu Manzi, let me tell you, most of these are my fans. Of course, I didn't expect my fans to be so cohesive... After finishing this cup of coffee, we can go to the theater to watch it!" An Xiao
After seeing Lu Yuan's expression, he was immediately dissatisfied.
"Okay, Lu Manzi! Don't use nicknames casually!"
"Oh, Lu Ergou!"
"Grass!"
……………………
"Why do you want me to be a film critic for a movie like "Buried Alive"? Is there any mistake?"
"It's late, I won't go this early in the morning, let Xiao Zhang go!"
"Bullying newcomers? Why did I bully newcomers? What's wrong with newcomers going to watch new movies and writing reviews of new movies?"
"That's it, I'm done."
"What are you talking about? Zhou Shuai has already bought a ticket and is sitting there? This man is crazy! Nervous..."
"No, let Xiao Zhang go! I'm going to sleep."
"..."
……………………
The waiting time is always tiring.
An Xiao put on a hat, sunglasses, and a standard celebrity outfit and walked into the VIP seats of the venue with Wang Jinxue.
Lu Yuan looked at the three tickets in his hand, and then looked at Wang Jinxue and Wang Jinxue who entered the VIP box, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
Did Wang Jinxue do this on purpose?
They reserved a front-row ticket for him, and he was right at the front and side, with his whole head facing the big screen, which looked really tiring.
The premiere of the first movie in my life was so deceiving?
"Ayuan, your... this vote..."
"What nonsense, just sit and watch."
"The reason we won't hold the premiere is because we don't have much money to find celebrities to promote it, but here in the front row...you..." Fatty Wei sat next to Lu Yuan, feeling a severe pain in his head.
He is the deputy director of Tangtang, so it’s okay if he doesn’t sit in the VIP seat. Come here and get in the front row...
Aren't you cheating?
"What nonsense are you talking about? The audience is coming soon, please be quiet."
"Okay..." Fatty Wei was speechless, but he could only accept the reality.
As for Qian Zhong, he silently watched the noisy audience coming in one after another, and felt very magical in his heart.
This early in the morning, this kind of movie, this kind of publicity, so many viewers came to watch it?
This is unscientific!
Are An Xiao's fans really so fanatical?
……………………
"Are you a fan of An Xiao?"
"Yes, you too?"
"Yes, me too, but I don't know if An Xiao will come here. I came here just to see An Xiao."
"Oh, that's a good feeling!"
"And you?"
"Me? I'm not. I was recommended by Mr. Chen. He said that one of his juniors made a literary film..."
"I don't think I am. I am simply a fan of Lu Yihong. Our little Lu Lu's first literary film, I support it unconditionally..."
"Forehead……"
"I saw so many people buying tickets and following the trend..."
"..."
There was a burst of noise in the venue...
After Lu Yuan pricked up his ears and listened to the conversations of the people around him, he finally understood why so many people came.
It turns out that everyone has their own reasons for coming here at this time.
Although An Xiao's fans are very strong, not all of them here are An Xiao's fans.
He suddenly felt a little grateful to the old man...
Of course, none of this matters.
Lu Yuan feels that the most important thing is the movie itself.
If the movie itself has a strong enough reputation, it can also have a publicity effect...
In that world, "Buried Alive" was a big hit!
What about this world?
Will it explode, or...
Not acclimatized?
Lu Yuan, who was originally calm, suddenly looked forward to it.
……………………
"Grandpa, do you believe he can make good movies?"
"I don't know, but I've read the script and it's pretty good."
"oh."
"This is a talented young man and I admire him very much."
"This man has no manners."
"Haha, talented people are more or less arrogant, just like you, aren't they?"
"I'm different from him. Okay, the movie starts."
"Um!"
"I hope it's a good movie."
"With an investment of one million, what kind of good movie can be made... But let's see first... The word "director" in the prologue is too big, aren't you afraid that others won't know that he, Lu Yuan, is the director?"
"Cough, cough, young people are a little frivolous."
