[Thoughts on the premiere of The Painted Skin …]
On the second day after the premiere of "The Painted Skin," the entertainment section of all the major media and websites in Xiangjiang was flooded by this new film. Those celebrities who participated in the premiere published blog posts one after another, praising how wonderful the story of "The Painted Skin" was and how outstanding the special effects were.
Many Xiangjiang film critics strongly recommended "The Painted Skin" on newspapers and blogs, believing that it was a rarely seen masterpiece of supernatural and fantasy in the past few years. It was a masterpiece that was worth spending 30 yuan to enter the cinema to watch.
Their reviews and the praises from the media had created a lot of hype for the upcoming Painted Skin, and the effect was undoubtedly very good. All the major cinemas had basically booked all the tickets for Painted Skin on Valentine's Day. Even the tickets for the 15th and 16th were more than half booked.
This was the power of advertising. Before a new film was released, the audience was easily influenced by the media. To a large extent, the media's advertising determined the direction of consumption.
Of course, a film's reputation was not built by critics and advertisements. Whether The Painted Skin would be a huge success in the box office depended on the audience's evaluation.
But before that, The Painted Skin was unparalleled in the Hong Kong film market. It could be said that it was the most coquettish film!
"Aren't you worried at all?"
On the Red Rose Pedestrian Street in Xiangjiang Central, in the midst of the bustling crowd, Chen Fei 'er curiously asked Lu Chen, who was holding her hand: "In a few days, our movie will premiere."
Today was Valentine's Day. The pedestrian street in the bustling business district of Central was very lively. The flower beds on both sides of the street were full of blooming flowers. There were even government volunteers giving roses to couples passing by. The shops along the street had already put up posters to celebrate the festival.
Even the air was filled with the smell of romance.
Chen Fei 'er flew to Xiangjiang last night. Valentine's Day was such an important holiday. She definitely had to be with Lu Chen and would stay in Xiangjiang until the premiere of A Chinese Ghost Story.
For this reason, she deliberately turned down a lot of work and program invitations.
Tonight, the two of them had a heartwarming dinner together. After dinner, they went out to go shopping. Hand in hand, they mingled with pairs of couples. It was also a very happy thing.
Most importantly, this was the second Valentine's Day that Chen Fei 'er and Lu Chen had spent together.
But Chen Fei 'er was not the kind of girl who regarded romantic love as her life.
Today was the premiere day of The Painted Skin. As the strongest competitor of A Chinese Ghost Story, the movie's promotional campaign had been so intense a few days ago that even she, who was far away in the capital, could smell the smoke of gunpowder.
In contrast, the publicity for "A Chinese Ghost Story" had always been tepid and maintained its original rhythm.
This inevitably made Chen Fei 'er feel a little worried.
Most of the time, the two competitors were one step ahead and one step ahead. At least for now, The Painted Skin, which had the advantage of being the first, had left A Chinese Ghost Story far behind.
Whether The Painted Skin, which was about to premiere in a few days, could catch up with its opponent's footsteps naturally became her concern.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm not worried because I know it's useless to worry. Besides, today is Valentine's Day. Are you really going to talk to me about work?"
Chen Fei 'er rolled her eyes at him. "I'm just concerned about you!"
Although the success or failure of a movie did not have much of an impact on Lu Chen financially, even if he lost all the tens of millions of yuan he had invested, it would not be to the extent of hurting him.
However, A Chinese Ghost Story was Lu Chen's first movie, and it was also competing with The Painted Skin. If it failed miserably at the box office or even did not get support, it would be a big blow to his reputation and career.
Some people in the industry said that Lu Chen was too egotistical. Singing did not mean that he could act in TV, and acting in TV did not prove his strength in movies. It was not easy to walk the road of being a triple star!
If A Chinese Ghost Story failed, it would undoubtedly give these people a reason to ridicule him.
Not to mention Huaguan Pictures, who was now like a mortal enemy, who knew how they would laugh at him!
Lu Chen held her hand and said, "I know you treat me the best …"
Although their relationship had reached the most intimate level, at this moment, Lu Chen's gentleness still made Chen Fei 'er feel shy and sweet.
The two of them stood on the street hand in hand. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, but it was as if the whole world only existed for the two of them. Everything else was just the background.
"Sir, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Why don't you buy her a bouquet of roses?"
At this moment, a little girl carrying a flower basket stumbled over and tried to sell her rose bouquet to Lu Chen. "How can one be enough!"
There were roses everywhere on the Red Rose Pedestrian Street, and there were also free roses. Therefore, the little girl's business was quite bad. There were more than a dozen bouquets in the basket, but no one was interested.
Chen Fei 'er had a free rose in her hand.
However, the little girl did not give up. She blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Lu Chen pitifully.
This kind of trick was often useless to couples who were used to seeing little girls selling flowers.
Lu Chen was not a fool, but he still asked, "How much is a bouquet?"
The little girl quickly said, "One hundred yuan. There are twelve flowers in a bouquet. They were just picked this morning. They are very fresh!"
Lu Chen counted the bouquets in her basket, took out the money and said, "I want all eleven bouquets of flowers here."
The little girl was overjoyed. She bowed and said, "Thank you, sir, thank you!"
She directly gave the roses and the basket to Lu Chen, and then happily disappeared into the crowd.
Lu Chen carried a basket of roses and said to Chen Fei 'er with a smile, "I don't remember giving you many roses. I'll make it up to you today!"
Since the two of them had been dating, Lu Chen had not given many roses to Chen Fei 'er.
Chen Fei 'er glanced at him coquettishly and said, "You just realized?"
Although she said that, she still happily took a large bouquet of roses from Lu Chen's hand.
Chen Fei 'er lowered her head and sniffed, then asked, "Where are we going next?"
Lu Chen showed two movie tickets as if he was performing a magic trick. "To see a movie, of course!"
"Ah?"
Chen Fei 'er whispered, "What movie?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Painted Skin."
