Huayu: I'm being coveted by young actresses.

Chapter 57: The Preview of "The Big Shot"

After these few days, he resolved the problem that had stood between him and Meng Ziyi.

The morning light shone through the gap in the curtains, landing precisely on Gu Luojia's tense face.

He instinctively shielded his eyes with the back of his hand, turned over, and it took him a while to adjust to the indoor light.

A long, snow-white leg dangled over his body; it was clearly Meng Ziyi's.

Gu Luojin put it aside and fumbled for her phone on the bedside table. She saw that it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

My morning exercise hasn't started yet.

Gu Luojin gently woke her, "Sister Meng, it's time to get up."

"No, I want to sleep a little longer. You exhausted me yesterday."

"I'm going to work out now, I'll have breakfast when I wake up."

"it is good."

Gu Luojin quietly got out of bed and covered her with a blanket, hiding her bare thighs under the blanket.

Gu Luojin, who was exercising, heard the door open and turned around to see her assistant, Wang Lu.

Wang Lu thoughtfully brought over breakfast: "Brother Gu, where's my sister?"

"Still sleeping!"

"Xiaolu, you can't just blindly follow whoever feeds you. I'm right in front of you, and you didn't even ask me, but instead asked Meng Ziyi who's still sleeping."

"Brother Gu, it's all thanks to Sister Meng's generosity. I'm now Sister Meng's soldier."

Having such an assistant is a blessing for him.

Gu Luojin finished her workout and was about to eat the breakfast Wang Lu had brought when Meng Ziyi came out of her room in her pajamas.

"Xiaolu, thank you."

"Sister, don't be so polite, it's what I should do."

Wang Lu's obsequiousness made Gu Luojin feel alienated. Where was her backbone? Where was her dignity?

Is it possible to bribe someone with a bag worth tens of thousands of dollars?

"Xiao Lu, it's a good thing you were born in a peaceful era, otherwise you would at least be a female version of Captain Jia."

"Brother Gu, don't take advantage of me just because I haven't seen 'Underground Traffic Station,' otherwise I'd definitely be the female version of Shui Gen."

Gu Luojin didn't want to expose her weak and feeble explanation.

"Xiaolu, come and eat with us."

"Sis, I'm not eating anymore. I came here to clean your room."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

The flattered Meng Ziyi raised her swan-like neck, as if to tell him that this was the charm of the gift.

The system hasn't given any response since yesterday, which makes him even more hopeful for it.

My expectations are sky-high; I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a huge disappointment.

When are you joining the crew?

She joined a film crew. What crew? The company got her a role in the movie "The Captain".

But she only played a female passenger, not even a supporting role, and her scenes were filmed in just one or two days.

"I'll be there soon."

When Gu Luojin saw this answer, she knew that no production team had contacted her.

"I'm going to a movie preview screening the day after tomorrow, and I also have to do a promotional tour. Do you want to come with me?"

"That movie?"

"The Big Shot"

"I'm not going."

Every time she went there, she was sure to run into the senior she least wanted to see, and her good mood would be instantly swept away.

Out of sight, out of mind.

"Alright, I'll go by myself then."

After finishing breakfast, Meng Ziyi put her legs on Gu Luojin's body and lay down on the sofa to start choosing a car.

She also wants to buy a car for daily commuting.

"Luo Jin, do you think I should buy a larger SUV or a smaller sedan?"

"I think you should buy an SUV, because driving a big vehicle is less tiring, while driving a small car is more tiring."

Why?

Gu Luojin pondered for a moment before giving her answer.

Because the large truck is not controlled by the driver, but is actually dominated by the truck itself.

The driving rhythm is entirely under the control of the large vehicle. When to accelerate, when to decelerate, when to rev the engine, wipe the headlights, add oil, and change the driving posture, the large vehicle needs to consider everything perfectly.

Driving a car is the driver's responsibility, and the issues mentioned earlier all require the driver to take initiative in considering them.

Some cars, especially those that are new to the road or have only been driven a few times, may experience bumps and scrapes as the parts are not yet properly broken in.

Meng Ziyi felt that Gu Luojin wasn't talking about the car; she hadn't considered these issues when she was driving.

"Then I'll take a few more looks."

……

Two days later, Gu Luojin arrived at the preview screening of "The Big Shot" dressed in a suit.

"Angkor, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, you've gotten even more handsome. By the way, your ex-girlfriend is here. The crew needs to use things that happened during filming as a publicity stunt, and Nazha has already agreed. You're okay with that, right?"

"Angkor, I'm fine."

"Alright, let's go in."

"Okay."

Gu Luojin saw Nazha backstage and walked over.

How have you been lately?

"Eat well, sleep well, and everything tastes delicious."

Then he can rest assured; it would be a problem if she became haggard because of him.

"By the way, Angkor said there might be some interaction between the two of us later, you know?"

"I'm fine."

After most of the invited guests and moviegoers had arrived, the preview screening started promptly at 8:00 PM.

As the male lead, Gu Luojin had a wonderful experience sitting in the front row watching his screen debut for the first time.

There was excitement, nervousness, and a mix of emotions, including fear—worrying that I wouldn't perform well and that it would affect the box office.

Having worked in the industry for many years and starred in numerous films, Gulnazar doesn't feel this way; she's used to it.

Seeing that Gu Luojin was a little nervous, Nazha took his hand.

"take it easy."

The appearance of the dragon seal signifies that this film has emerged from the dimly lit editing room and will be released to the public, ready to receive diverse opinions and evaluations.

The film begins with Ga Zi driving and listening to the radio, where he teaches viewers how to distinguish between counterfeit and genuine currency. The scene then shifts to a vegetable market.

The fishmonger smashed the fish head to warn the driver and his companion that they were being watched by the police.

The two men were carrying counterfeit money in their car. Detective Sun Dasheng used traffic control to sneak into the car and raid the counterfeit money factory.

The movie then officially began.

"Brother Wang had a really good time fighting in that part, taking on ten people all by himself."

"But it's hilarious that the people who made the counterfeit money claimed that the police used excessive force. When they knew they were going to be sentenced to ten years in prison, they changed their story and said they were enforcing the law impartially."

Naza didn't want to respond to him because he and Wang Ge were already quite close.

As Gu Luojin appeared, the discussion among the audience in the back rows increased.

[To kill someone for 2.6 yuan, what a terrible performance, how depraved!]

This doesn't seem like acting. I suggest a thorough investigation of the family records for three generations; it would be absolutely accurate every time.

[He's so handsome, but he's got a real knack for acting.]

Upon hearing this comment, Gu Luojin's face twitched, while Nazha was suppressing a laugh.

Familiar storylines unfolded on the screen.

The audience was so engrossed in the story that the movie ended an hour and forty minutes later.

The screen went dark, and the names of the cast and crew appeared on the screen one by one, then the lights in the entire theater came on.

Host: "Let's welcome the main cast and crew to the stage."

As the main creators appeared on stage, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"Slap... slap... slap"

"Whether this movie is well-made or not, whether the actors performed well or not."

A unified response rang out in the theater.

"it is good."

The audience responded enthusiastically.

"Now, please welcome our main cast and crew to the stage to introduce themselves."

The host then passed the topic to the director.

"Hello everyone, I am Wu Bai, the director of 'The Big Shot'."

"Hello everyone, I am actor Wang Qianyuan, and I play Sun Wukong in the drama."

"I am actor Gu Luojin, and I play Zhao Tai in the drama."

"I am actor Wang Xun, and I play Cui Jingmin in the drama."

"I am actress Gulnazar, and I play the role of actress Luo Qian in the drama."

Whenever an actor introduces himself, applause erupts in the audience.

"Please welcome our Director Wu to tell us about some interesting things that happened during the filming of the movie."

"Before I begin, I'd like to ask the two parties involved, the male lead Gu Luojin and the actress Gulnazar, may I speak?"

He wanted to gossip about other people, but ended up getting the first piece of gossip to fall on his own head.

Gu Luojin and Nazha raised their hands together, indicating that they could speak.

"Then I'll tell you."

The audience members below the stage couldn't contain their gossips any longer, assuming that the two had developed a romance while filming.

"As you all just saw, the scene where Zhao Tai forcibly gives the actress Luo Qian an injection was filmed with great sacrifices made by our male and female leads."

"Halfway through filming, Nazha was so frightened by our male lead that she burst into tears on the spot."

"She was crying her eyes out on set, and it took our male lead a whole day to comfort her before we could finish filming the rest of the scenes."

"The final result was so good that I couldn't believe it was Gulnazar's acting."

"In 'The Big Shot,' Gulnazar shed the label of 'pretty face,' and I think actresses with such acting skills are the kind of good actresses our industry needs."

"As for how the male lead managed to win over our actress, let our male lead share his experience in winning over his girlfriend with the male audience members present."

When he said this, Director Wu would have had to show a knowing smile.

This caused the audience to burst into laughter, which convinced him that Zhongdeng wasn't deliberately causing trouble.

They just want to use the handsome man and beautiful woman as a gimmick to promote the product and increase box office revenue.

He's not refusing to do it, yet he's pulling this stunt.

As long as it doesn't follow the outrageous publicity tactics of later generations, such as hyping up movies through male-female pairings, he's completely accepting of it.

The main problem was the incredible marketing campaigns that followed, which made him feel incredibly embarrassed.

The first one has to be Bernard's "Operation Dragon". During the filming, they were worried that foreign personnel would learn about their country's submarine manufacturing process. Whenever a foreign personnel approached, the domestic actors would put away their scripts.

It's a hot topic. If you're worried about leaks, why not just not make it into a movie?

Upon seeing this promotional material, Gu Luojin almost lost her composure.

If this were truly a naval secret, the people who should be executed would be the audience members, as the information has been disseminated far too widely.

Isn't this treating the audience like fools?

Go buy some melon seeds for the audience.

Therefore, domestic viewers chose not to watch it in order to keep it a secret.

This led to the box office failure of "Operation Jiaolong" and its ignominious withdrawal from the Spring Festival release schedule.

The second one is even more abstract, "A Dog's Tale," which actually promoted a dog watching the movie in the audience and crying?

Gu Luojin could only say that the first person to come up with the idea of ​​making a dog cry while watching a movie was definitely a genius.

This is definitely a moment that will go down in the history of film promotion.

While other films are still using the audience as a selling point in their marketing, the marketing team of "A Dog's Tale of Parma" took a different approach, making the dog cry.

Would a serious movie use the image of a dog crying as promotional material?

will not

Can dogs understand movies?

can't read.

Can a dog understand a movie?

Despicable.
