In the lobby of Poly Grand Theater.
The main hall, which originally had multiple functions such as ticket sales, food and beverage sales, and audience rest area, was temporarily transformed into a banquet hall tonight. When the guests came out of the movie hall, a long table had been set under the chandelier in the center, and a tall champagne tower was shining under the bright lights.
The champagne tower, flowers, and delicious western desserts were all prepared when the movie was playing, which undoubtedly gave the guests a Big surprise and a small surprise.
Chenfei Media made such a gesture. It was called a premiere, but in fact, it was almost like a celebration party. Weren't they afraid of becoming a joke in the industry before The Smiling, The Proud Martial Artist was officially released?
Obviously, Lu Chen was not so stupid that he didn't know what to do. The only explanation was that he had absolute confidence in the movie and believed that The Smiling, The Proud Martial Artist would definitely be a success!
Before the premiere, most people were skeptical or pessimistic about it, but now …
In the cheers and laughter, glasses of champagne were sent to the guests by the specially hired waiters from the hotel. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
Many guests who had planned to leave stayed and used it as a place to socialize.
"Cheers!"
Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er accepted the congratulations and compliments of the guests together, and they frequently toasted.
Chen Fei 'er was a light drinker, and she was a little drunk after only one glass of champagne. Her pretty face was faintly flushed, which made her look even more beautiful.
She was wearing a tight white evening dress with narrow shoulders. Her black hair was tied up, and her swan-like neck was exposed. Her delicate and beautiful face and outstanding temperament undoubtedly made her one of the focuses of the audience.
And Lu Chen, who was beside her, was not inferior. A well-tailored suit showed off his strong figure, and his handsome face was glowing. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and there was a touch of smile on his lips. Compared with the carefree and unrestrained Linghu Chong in The Smiling, The Proud Martial Artist, people unconsciously felt that they had traveled through time, reality, and illusion.
"So wonderful …"
Lin Zhijie held a glass of champagne and said, "When it's officially released in two days, I'll bring my family to the cinema to support it."
The deputy general manager and music director of Flying Stone Records is an old friend of Lu Chen. He said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I should have insisted on letting Flying Stone participate in the investment. Now I feel like I've lost 100 million yuan!"
"The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer" was the beginning of Lu Chen's Wuxia IP plan, and it was the cornerstone of Chenfei Media for the next ten years. Therefore, he didn't bring in many investors to share the risk, but only cooperated with several long-term partners.
Flying Stone Records was one of the collaborators. The original soundtrack album of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was produced and distributed by Flying Stone Records. At that time, Flying Stone Records intended to get involved, but was declined by Chen Fei Media.
However, because of the good relationship between the two sides, many artists under Flying Stone Records have participated in the roles in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". Mu Xiaochu was also an important supporting actress, and her role as Yi Lin was outstanding.
It could be foreseen that once "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is officially released, Mu Xiaochu's popularity will reach a new level. Together with several other artists, the benefits to Flying Stone Records will not be small.
But people are greedy, and Lin Zhijie was no exception.
At the beginning, several martial arts films in the summer period failed miserably at the box office. Some of the senior executives of Flying Stone Records were quite glad that they didn't step into this big pit. Now that he thought about it, he felt it was ridiculous.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Zhijie. We will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Lin Zhijie pointed to him and said, "That's what you said. I'll remember it. Fei 'er can testify. You can't go back on your word!"
In the past few years, through the cooperation with Lu Chen, Flying Stone Records has made a lot of money, especially its MSN women's group, which has firmly occupied the first throne in China and become the company's cash cow.
But with the continuous growth of Chen Fei Media, it was inevitable that people would worry about how long the cooperation between the two sides would last. What Lu Chen had just said undoubtedly gave Lin Zhijie a reassuring pill.
Chen Fei 'er pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Well, I'll remember it for Brother Zhijie."
Lin Zhijie laughed and turned to socialize with others with satisfaction, giving the opportunity to others.
As soon as Lin Zhijie's front foot left, someone immediately came to LuChen's front foot.
This was Zhang Yaocheng, the deputy general manager and editor-in-chief of Shanhai Publishing House, who also had a good relationship with Lu Chen.
Shanhai Publishing House was one of the top ten private publishing houses in China, with a strong scale and strength. When Lu Chen published the novel "Autumn in My Heart", the publishing house won the copyright at a high price of 15% plus 500,000 yuan.
At the beginning, it was Zhang Yaocheng who personally made the decision, offered such a high royalty, and single-handedly facilitated the contract.
With "Autumn in My Heart" as the beginning, the novel version of Lu Chen's "Full of Romance" was also cooperated with Shanhai Publishing House.
The total sales of Lu Chen's two novels added up to nearly 10 million. As a film and TV adaptation, it crushed a large number of best-selling novels. Putting aside the influence of the work itself, Shanhai Publishing House also contributed a lot.
In the cooperation list of Lu Chen Studio, Shanhai Publishing House belonged to the first order. Later, "You from the Star" and now "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were all published and distributed by Shanhai Publishing House.
Relying on these best-selling novels, Shanhai Publishing House not only made huge profits, but also expanded its influence in the industry, and its development was thriving.
At tonight's premiere, Zhang Yaocheng was also one of the special guests. However, compared to the film itself, he was more concerned about the novel.
"Teacher Lu, when will Teacher Yi Jin Gu's new work come out?"
As the founder of the new school of Wuxia novels, the pen name "Yi Jin Gu" was like a well-known golden signboard in the literary circle. The two long-length Wuxia novels, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", had won great success.
Putting aside "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", which had been published for nearly two years, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which was newly launched by Shanhai Publishing House, was sold out. It took two consecutive additional printing to meet the market demand.
The ambitious Shanhai Publishing House was not satisfied because of this. They hoped that "Yi Jin Gu" could strike while the iron was hot and write more and better works, so that the Wuxia craze could continue.
However, "Yi Jin Gu" was very mysterious. He had never appeared in public and never participated in signing activities. All the copyrights were bought out to Chenfei Media. Zhang Yaocheng had wanted to meet him in person several times, but he had not been able to do so.
Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing, which was to urge the other party through his relationship with Lu Chen.
The chief editor of Shanhai Publishing House did not know that the author was already standing in front of him!
