Donald lost control of his emotions and smashed his phone on the floor. "I told her to just stay at home. Why did she have to participate in that damned community service? She's wasting her life! "
"Sir, do I need to pass on your message to Madam?"
"No, no, no! I was just joking! Please don't tell Jenny! "
After the maid left in a seemingly respectful manner but was actually trying to hold back her laughter, Donard sighed again. He thought of his wife who was fierce but did not like to manage the family's affairs. She was an extremely devout believer of the religion and only indulged in community activities. He felt another headache coming on.
"Guys! Hurry up! It's almost time, Mrs. Joshtan. We've been waiting for you for too long! "
"I'm sorry, everyone. I just had a phone call with my son in Boston. Oh yeah, what are we going to do today? "
"Watch a movie!"
"Huh? Movie? No, I hate movies! My old man only knows how to show movies and my stupid son only knows how to make movies. I get a headache whenever I hear the word 'movie'! "
"No, no, no. This is a movie from China. Also, Mrs. Joshtan, I have to tell you a piece of good news. Your husband, Mr. Joshtan, wants this movie to have no audience at all. Recently, he has been going around asking his friends to boycott this movie. "
"Really? Then why should we help him? "
"Actually, it's my niece's request. She feels that the Chinese man is too pitiful."
Jenny Joshtan said, "Alright, since it's a movie that even my husband wants to boycott, then I really want to watch it."
If Donald, who was sulking at home until he had a heart attack, knew that the community service that his precious wife, Jenny, participated in was actually to watch Women, he would probably pass out from anger.
At 8: 05 pm, the world premiere of Women finally started after a delay of five minutes after a few twists and turns.
The VIPs who followed did not stand on the red carpet or the stage for long for the media. Other than the 'Pierce Squad' and the 'Pianist Squad' who came first, the VIPs who came later did not have stage fright but did not have much interest in being celebrities on the runway. Time did not allow for it either.
They just took a few simple photos for the media and then went into the cinema one after another.
All the uninvited guests had just taken their seats, and the film had already begun, when Madame Joshtan and her friends from the community service station arrived, led by the German girl and her aunt.
Because of Chen Guang's promise, Screening Hall 14 skipped the process of checking the tickets. However many people from the community came, they would be allowed in and everyone would be given a copy of the first volume of "World Faction".
Screening Hall 14, which could only accommodate 150 people, was filled to the brim.
Including everyone, there were exactly one hundred and fifty people!
As for the reporters who changed their minds and wanted to attend the premiere, they were stopped outside by Chen Guang.
The reason was simple. Although he used the Face Fruit to turn the tables at the crucial moment, this was only the first step in his counterattack.
From now on, everything he did had to be more purposeful.
Letting the reporters in today seemed like a good idea, but in fact, there was great potential danger.
The preconceived and unscrupulous media personnel were harder to convert than the ordinary audience.
Although there would definitely be some people who would become true fans of the movie, there would definitely be people who would be stubborn or greedy. Tomorrow, they would still criticize "Women" with their brilliant writing.
However, Chen Guang only needed to let the media people report on the premiere, and that was enough positive publicity.
As for the real standard of the movie, there was no need for them to tell him for now.
Even if they would lose part of the tap water, they would be able to avoid negative news first. The benefits of tap water were not as big as the disadvantages of the brainless haters.
Not to mention the media people who were born with crooked butts.
With his current popularity, the media people who came out of the cinema to write positive reports would be regarded as being paid to do things, but the media people who wrote negative reports would be regarded as having the conscience of the industry.
Although this was unavoidable, there was no need to let them in since it was the world's first premiere, which was held twelve hours earlier than in China.
Tomorrow, the situation at the Los Angeles premiere would be seen by all the major media, but only a few people went to watch it, and the media would not say anything about it. The international friends of Da Mi would definitely be very curious and drive them to the cinema to find out what was going on.
What exactly was this super bad movie that was going to be splattered all over the world?
Chen Guang calculated in his heart and determined that the benefits of rejecting the media first outweighed the disadvantages by 3.5%!
That's right, it was that precise!
As for the ordinary audiences that the German girl tricked from the community service station, Chen Guang did not particularly care about how much tap water these people could produce.
If the number of people did not reach a certain level, it would seem insignificant.
Standing at the entrance of the theater and listening to the prelude of the music, Chen Guang finally relaxed and let out a long breath when everything was on track.
Lu Xiaoliang, who was standing next to him, saw this and asked, "Boss, now is not the time to rest, right? Although the premiere is full, the attendance at other places tonight won't be that high, right? Although we have a lot of big names helping us, it still needs time to ferment if we want to create a sensation on social media. We won't be able to make it in time for the 10: 30 public screening, and there's no hope for the midnight screening after 12: 00. If we want to turn the attendance around, we'll have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest, right? "
Chen Guang smiled and waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. Take your time. Everything is under control."
Lu Xiaoliang looked at his confident smile and did not know what to say.
Forget it, the boss has always been like this.
But then again, the situation today was miraculously turned around. Although he did not do anything, didn't this mean that the boss was the Son of Providence?
He won by lying down!
The boss was not only capable, but his luck was also heaven-defying. He should be more confident!
If he was not confident, then shouldn't the rest of us hang ourselves?
Lu Xiaoliang could not understand. In fact, the moment Theater 14 was full, Chen Guang had completely foreseen the situation in the next few days.
Outside the theater, the reporters had not left yet.
Inside the theater, some of the crew members who had just finished the premiere had not left yet. There were also some big names in the media circle who had attended other movie premieres, and they were also watching with great interest.
Although they did not attend the premiere of 'Women', if they could get first-hand dirt from the audience, it would be an important report that could expand their influence.
The crowd stood in groups of twos and threes in the theater aisle, whispering to each other.
"It's 8: 25 now. I bet ten dollars that someone will come out of Theater 14 within five minutes."
"I bet a hundred dollars. Ten minutes."
"I bet a thousand dollars! Five minutes! Mr. Diaz, what do you think? "
"You guys bet yourselves. I'm not interested. I'm a little sleepy, and I'm going to the hotel to rest. Markov, say hello to the dean of Wesley College for me. "
"No problem, but I have to wait for a while."
"What? Are you worried that this movie from Huaxia will affect you? Don't joke around. You are not in the same genre. You don't have to care about them. "
"No, no, Cameron. I got Theater 7 from them. I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy."
"Do whatever you want."
The big shots in the media world didn't have the same worries as the film director. Now that everyone knew about the amazing scene at the premiere of "Women", they also knew what kind of people were sitting in the No. 14 screening hall.
Apart from the dozens of old men and women in the community, the other guests were important enough to support a Dior, Louis Vuitton, or Bentley's global new product launch.
They were surprised by the Chinese's unconventional approach. Since the people in the entertainment circle were boycotting him, he found guests from other places, and they were even more important.
They were also happy that they finally had a new topic to write about. When the important guests left in advance, they, the big names in the media circle, would be able to directly interview them in the theater and let them express their feelings. This was a good thing for the new reporters, who were stuck outside, but could not get it.
Some people were thinking about their position, wondering if they should change their position and speak for 'Women' and Chen Guang.
At the same time, there were also people pondering how they should ask questions to guide the interviewee's thoughts so that the interviewee would fall into a trap and say something that could be taken out of context to attack Chen Guang.
If they could dig out some unfavorable information from the F1 champion, the WRC champion, and the superstars, they could use it to make a big article.
Even the guests who had received Chen Guang's USD couldn't stand his movie. Thinking about it, was there anything worse than this?
No one in the media thought that the guests of 'Women' would appear for free. They silently estimated the appearance fee that Chen Guang could pay.
Except for the big names in the medical circle whose value could not be accurately estimated, especially the two Nobel Prize winners, the appearance fee of the others would probably add up to hundreds of millions of USD, right?
Not to mention this kind of movie premiere, which had its own negative impact on one's personal image!
'Stupid Chinese!
'Do you think you can control everything with money?
'Do you think you can turn the tables by finding some famous people?
'Don't you know that the higher the status of the people you find and the more important they are, the harder it is to control their mouths?
'Don't you know that an ordinary person saying that your movie is not good 10,000 times is not as good as a simple word' boring 'thrown by an authority in any field?'
Time passed bit by bit. In the aisles of the theater, people who chose to watch other movies came and went. The main production team of some movies could not stand the harassment of fans along the way and quietly retreated, but the big names in the media circle did not waver.
Gradually, they found that the situation was a little wrong.
Half an hour passed, and no one came out of theater 14.
An hour passed, and still no one came out.
