Chapter 67 Chapter 67
Since the release date was confirmed, Yin Yong went to readjust the promotional plan.
Because of several consecutive hot spots, many netizens knew about the horror movie "The Door", but the moment they saw the release date, everyone was stunned.
[Watching a horror movie on Valentine's Day? ? ? Seriously? ? ? ]
[I actually think it's a bit interesting. I'll make an appointment with Crush, and when I see the horror scenes, I'll throw myself into his arms. Hehehe, the plan works! ] [
Thinking of the past Valentine's Day, it was painful to watch a movie with my girlfriend. Those sticky and greasy love movies made me want to sleep after watching for five minutes. I had to keep my spirits up, otherwise after the movie ended, she would ask me questions and I couldn't answer them, and she would say that I didn't love her. It would affect our relationship! Now, when she gets scared, I hold her in my arms, which not only prevents her from asking me questions, but also improves our relationship! It's perfect! 】
【It's actually possible! I've learned it!! 】
...
The feedback from netizens was unexpectedly good, which made Yin Yong more confident and admired Gu Xingshi more.
But at this moment, a piece of bad news suddenly hit them.
A blockbuster movie - "The Legend of Yunshan 2" was airborne on Valentine's Day.
Three years ago, the fairy tale movie "The Legend of Yunshan" was a big hit. As a sequel, "The Legend of Yunshan 2" has always been the focus of attention.
It is said that the investment was 800 million yuan. The film company is ambitious and claims that the box office of "The Legend of Yunshan 2" will exceed that of "The Legend of Yunshan" and even have the potential to impact the domestic film rankings.
No one wants to collide with a blockbuster like this, and will try to avoid the same release date as possible, but it was unexpectedly confirmed.
Moreover, as soon as "Legend of Yunshan 2" was scheduled, it immediately began to promote it.
Almost everyone on the Internet was looking forward to "Legend of Yunshan 2", which almost eclipsed other movies.
Other movies in the same release period sighed and cried out in bad luck.
Yin Yong was also very depressed. The promotion was originally going smoothly, but because "Legend of Yunshan 2" suddenly appeared and stole all the limelight, it did not achieve the effect he expected.
He was thinking about it in his heart, and accidentally revealed it in front of Gu Xingshi.
Gu Xingshi listened to his concerns, but he didn't care too much: "Our "The Gate" is a different genre, it shouldn't be affected that much, right?"
Yin Yong was stunned.
He originally thought that blockbusters like "The Legend of Yunshan 2" would form a box office siphon effect, attracting most of the audience, thus occupying most of the box office revenue, causing the films released at the same time to lose their living space.
But Gu Xingshi was right, "The Gate" was originally an outlier in this year's Valentine's Day schedule, and it was the one he didn't need to worry about the most.
Yin Yong suddenly understood and felt more confident. He asked, "Mr. Gu, I have an idea. Why don't we start a large-scale preview in advance? "The Door" is a good film, and the preview has a good reputation. It will also be more helpful for the box office of subsequent films. What do you think?"
Gu Xingshi nodded, "Okay!"
With Gu Xingshi's affirmation, Yin Yong became more confident and immediately got busy.
-
Jiang Jianyue has been looking forward to the release of "The Door".
First of all, of course, it's because she has never seen a movie with so much news before its release, and it almost lives on the hot search. In her experience, this movie is either full of complaints or a big hit.
Secondly, it's naturally because of Bu Qianwei.
As a UP host in the C-station film and television rant area, Bu Qianwei's films are almost all her material library. She couldn't imagine why Mr. Gu chose her as the heroine.
It was not until Qin Wen and Yan Xiang were interviewed that they all agreed that Bu Qianwei's acting skills were very good.
Mr. Gu even said that Bu Qianwei was their chosen heroine.
Such praise really aroused her curiosity.
Especially after the trailer of "Zhemen" came out, Bu Qianwei's performance in it was actually not bad, and her expectations were even deeper.
Therefore, after knowing that "Zhemen" was screened in advance, she went to buy movie tickets as soon as possible.
Who knew that as soon as she clicked on the ticket purchase software, she found that many seats had been selected. She was shocked. She thought that not many people would go to see this unpopular horror movie, so how could the tickets sell so quickly!
She didn't think too much and bought the ticket quickly.
On the day of the preview, she went to the cinema early. To her surprise, this show was already full, and many of them looked like couples.
There was a couple sitting next to Jiang Jianyue. The boy was tall and mighty, and he kept comforting his girlfriend: "If you are afraid, hide in my arms, I will protect you..." His
little thoughts were obvious.
Jiang Jianyue was forced to eat dog food for a long time.
Fortunately, the movie started soon, and Jiang Jianyue put these messy thoughts aside and started watching the movie immersed in it.
At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist played by Qin Wen asked the female protagonist played by Bu Qianwei to play escape room. He also greeted the NPC dressed as a ghost in advance, asking him to find the right time to scare people and make sure the female protagonist hide on his side.
This little trick is exactly the same as most couples on the scene, and there was a lot of tacit laughter on the scene.
But when Bu Qianwei came on stage, almost everyone was so surprised that they took a breath.
Some people originally thought that it was a bit fake for a handsome guy like Qin Wen to pursue a girl in this way,
but looking at Bu Qianwei's bright and beautiful face, you can almost instantly understand the male protagonist played by Qin Wen.
The female protagonist played by Bu Qianwei is a little coquettish, but not annoying, and Jiang Jianyue was surprised to find that her acting here is surprisingly natural.
Jiang Jianyue originally thought that the part in the trailer was edited, but now it seems that Bu Qianwei's acting skills have been really well-tuned.
As the plot progresses, the "evil" that everyone is jealous of never reveals its true face, but people keep dying and the atmosphere of terror continues to grow.
Until the hero and heroine discovered new clues, it turned out to be from a long-abandoned village, and the two drove to the village.
From the moment they entered the village, nothing happened, but Jiang Jianyue's heart was like a taut string, and the slightest movement could cause her to suddenly collapse.
At this moment, she was completely immersed in the plot until the heroine was possessed by the elf.
Seeing Bu Qianwei's beautiful face twisted suddenly, the shock was like a sharp knife, cutting the string in her heart with a "clang".
Jiang Jianyue was so scared that her body shrank back.
But it was not over yet. The heroine had a weird smile on her face, and her body was bent into a shape that ordinary people could hardly understand, and she began to chase the hero.
This indescribable fear between human and non-human was domineeringly imprinted in the minds of every audience member.
And the long shot without any editing pushed this sense of oppression to the extreme.
Jiang Jianyue's back was pressed tightly against the back of the chair, and her breathing became rapid.
Screams at the scene were one after another.
The lights in the theater came back on after the movie ended.
All the audience members, still in shock, breathed a long sigh of relief. Because there were so many people breathing out, the uniform "cheers" startled some of the audience members who were still immersed in the movie.
Jiang Jianyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and still felt her heart pounding.
The tall and mighty boy next door was already leaning on his girlfriend's shoulder and crying. His girlfriend patted his shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you..."
Jiang Jianyue: "..."
To be honest, she really didn't expect this movie to be so big!
Qin Wen's acting skills are so good. Although this is just a horror movie, Qin Wen has a lot of room to perform. His acting skills, which are so delicate that they can be seen in the hair, are fully displayed in this movie.
Yan Xiang's part was also very exciting. Jiang Jianyue could relate to her struggle for survival.
Of course, the most surprising thing was Bu Qianwei.
Jiang Jianyue could no longer rationally evaluate Bu Qianwei's acting skills. Now there was only one sentence in her mind: Anyone who dares to question Bu's acting skills will be punished to watch "The Door" ten times!!!
She now finally understood why President Gu said that Bu Qianwei was the chosen heroine of this play!!
I can only say that President Gu is worthy of being President Gu!!
As a viewer, you can always trust President Gu's choice!!
After Jiang Jianyue went back, she edited a video overnight, madly recommending "The Door", praising it as the best horror movie she had seen in recent years.
[Fuck!! I almost thought the UP host's account was hijacked. Is it really that good? 】
【I originally wanted to watch "Legend of Yunshan 2" with my friends on Valentine's Day, but the UP host's recommendation aroused my interest. I plan to watch "The Gate of Tricks" first】
【You actually praised Bu Qianwei's acting skills, Grandpa Qingjie!!! I don't believe that her acting skills can scare people! 】
Jiang Jianyue saw this comment and replied: [It's guaranteed to scare people. You can try it. If you are not scared, I will reimburse you for the movie tickets. 】
Someone immediately started to make a fuss below. The netizen couldn't resist the excitement and immediately said that he would go to watch it the next day and posted a screenshot of his ticket purchase.
However, the next day, the netizen came back dejectedly and admitted defeat.
This situation happened far more than just in Jiang Jianyue's comment section. There were even some UP hosts who didn't believe in superstition and recorded themselves watching the movie. It was fine at the beginning, but when Bu Qianwei came out, he was so scared that he screamed and knocked over his Coke.
Immediately -
#詭门恐怖#
#Bu Qianwei's acting skills are scary in all senses#
#Qin Wenge is still alive# and
all kinds of topics became hot searches.
Netizens were discussing it heatedly.
[I took my girlfriend to watch it on purpose, wanting to show my masculinity, but I ended up lying on my girlfriend's shoulders for the entire second half of the movie. I was so scared that I didn't even dare to raise my head]
[Ahhhh, I'm finally single. Thank you "詭门" and thank you, my sister Bu! 】
【It was really scary. We went to see it together as a roommate. We bet that whoever screamed would have to wash socks for the whole room for a week. Emmmmmm... I lost my voice because I was so scared, so I didn't have to wash socks for a month! 】
...
As the popularity on the Internet increased, the pre-sale performance of "The Gate of Devilry" was very good.
When Yin Yong saw the pre-sale box office figures, he almost jumped up with joy. He was originally worried that the pre-sale box office of "The Gate of Devilry" would not be very good due to "The Legend of Yunshan 2", but now he is completely relieved.
He looked at Gu Xingshi with admiration: "Mr. Gu, you are really a genius, everything is in your plan!"
"Ah?" Gu Xingshi was at a loss, "What are you talking about? Didn't you do the promotion and distribution? How did it become my credit?"
Yin Yong admired him even more.
He is so capable, yet so humble. Sure enough, he still has a lot to learn!!
The excellent performance of "The Gate of Heroes" has made "The Legend of Yunshan 2" which is released in the same period a little unhappy.
The film company of "The Legend of Yunshan 2" thought that with its own fame and popularity, it would be the undisputed leader in any period, and other films could only give way.
But who could have thought that they would encounter such a sudden rise of a surprise force like "The Gate of Heroes".
Especially Fang Ming, one of the investors.
He had been disgusted with Gu Xingshi before. A poor and broke man, he just relied on Wen Yue's power to enter the investment circle so openly, and was even sought after by many people in the circle.
He was just lucky to run into it. What does he know about movies? !
An unknown director and screenwriter, a male lead who only played one or two supporting roles, oh, the female lead is famous, but she is all black.
Fang Ming sneered. When he talked about this with other investors, Fang Ming laughed at him severely and said that if the box office of "Zhemen" exceeded 100 million, he would call Gu Xingshi dad.
However, he never expected that the actor Qin Wen who played the male lead in "Zhemen" won the Best Supporting Actor at the Heber Film Festival, which greatly increased his presence, and then the supporting actress Yan Xiang also became popular because of the short drama.
Seeing the popularity of "Zhemen" rising, he panicked at the time. It was not
until "Zhemen" and "Yunshan Chuan 2" collided.
Fang Ming finally let go of the worry.
What if "Zhemen" is more popular? If it were to compete with "Legend of Yun Shan 2", it would be like an egg hitting a stone.
Not to mention making over 100 million, it might not even make back its investment.
But soon, he was slapped in the face by the pre-sale box office of "Zhemen".
The premiere schedule of "Zhemen" was obviously lower than that of "Legend of Yunshan 2", but the pre-sale box office was almost the same. How is this possible? !
His first reaction was that Wen Yue supported her boyfriend and bought the box office, but after checking, he found that the box office of "Zhemen" was actually real, and because the actors were not particularly well-known, there were not many friendly private screenings by friends in the circle. It can be said that all the tickets were bought bit by bit by real audiences.
After the results of this survey came out, Fang Ming was even more unwilling to believe it.
But he quickly comforted himself that this was the effect of the radical publicity strategy of "Zhemen", and that for this kind of unpopular film, the box office was almost all supported by fans in the early stage, and it would become weaker and weaker as time went on.
So the high pre-sale box office doesn't mean anything. It's just a false appearance. When the premiere comes, the truth will be revealed. The audience may follow suit, but only professionals like media reporters know which one is more valuable.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the premiere and saw the huge crowd of reporters, he finally felt relieved.
That's right!
It's obvious that since reporters have come to their place, "The Gate of Heroes" must be deserted, with only a few kittens.
They must be regretting it now. This is the result of colliding with "Legend of Yunshan 2" for the premiere.
At this time, at the premiere of "The Gate of Heroes", Gu Xingshi glanced at the media area and said in surprise: "There are quite a lot of reporters here!"
The seats reserved for the media were almost full.
Yin Yong was also a little surprised: "I thought most reporters would go to the Yunshan Chuan 2, and I went to see that there were quite a few senior reporters. I didn't expect them to think so highly of us."
As he spoke, there was another commotion at the scene.
Gu Xingshi suddenly had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu: "Why do I seem to have seen this scene before?"
The system said faintly: [Of course you have seen it, and more than once.]
Gu Xingshi: [? ]
The next second, he saw the crowd parted and Wen Yue walked slowly towards him.
Gu Xingshi was a little surprised: "Mr. Wen?"
Wen Yue saw him, paused slightly, and then nodded and said: "Mr. Gu, congratulations."
Gu Xingshi was a little confused.
Not only was he confused, but the media at the scene were also confused.
They heard that President Wen was so busy that he didn't even have time to attend the premiere of Fengtingyun Movie. How come he showed up at the premiere of "The Gate of Devil" now?
But no matter what!
This is a big news!!
He came today!!
Originally, they just came for "The Gate of Devil", but they didn't expect that the movie hasn't started yet! A big news is already in hand!
This is not a premiere!
This is a feast for reporters!!
Wen Yue saw Gu Xingshi's confused look, and his heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm and pointed to the seat next to Gu Xingshi: "President Gu, can I sit here?"
Gu Xingshi was about to speak, and Qin Wen came out from nowhere and sat down on the seat Wen Yue pointed to.
Wen Yue: "..."
Qin Wen's heart had been alarmed when Wen Yue came in, and he was watching his every move.
Seeing that he was indeed here for Gu Xingshi, he rushed out immediately.
Gu Xingshi asked in confusion: "Aren't you sitting with Director Pei and the others?"
Qin Wen lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "This is my first time playing the leading role, and I feel a little uneasy. I will feel safer sitting here."
Then, he raised his head again and said to Wen Yue, "Mr. Wen, I'm so sorry."
Wen Yue glanced at him lightly: "It's okay."
Before Qin Wen could be happy, Sun Hongfei, who was sitting on the other side of Gu Xingshi's seat, jumped up and made way: "Mr. Wen, you sit here!"
Wen Yue sat down calmly, and then chatted with Gu Xingshi.
Qin Wen: “!!!”
He gritted his teeth, turned around and found another excuse, and said to Gu Xingshi: “Boss Gu, the air conditioning here is a bit strong, I feel a little dizzy, can you change seats
with me?” Gu Xingshi looked up at the vent: “This vent is between us, you can still get the air if you change seats with me.”
Wen Yue glanced at Sun Hongfei, and Old Sun immediately received the signal and ran to Qin Wen, saying attentively: “Xiao Qin, the wind is weak over there, why don’t you change seats with me!”
Qin Wen: “…”
Old Sun, you traitor!!!
He bit his back teeth, “No, I’m not cold anymore…”
In such a short time, Wen Yue had already started chatting with Gu Xingshi again, and he was particularly scheming. He talked about some subsequent work on this movie, and Gu Xingshi’s expression suddenly became focused.
Qin Wen naturally couldn't make trouble anymore and could only look at Wen Yue with hatred.
Cheng Xin was right!
Wen Yue is really a green tea!!!
Wen Yue didn't chat with Gu Xingshi for too long, and soon it was time for the show.
Under the dimming lights, the title of the movie slowly appeared on the screen.
Wen Yue's attention was not on the movie, but he turned his head slightly, looking greedily at the outline of Gu Xingshi in the dark, but compared to the recklessness of his eyes, his body movements were very restrained.
He was tall, with long arms and legs, and the chair in the theater was a bit cramped for him.
Gu Xingshi's hand was placed casually on the armrest, and sometimes his arm would accidentally touch Wen Yue's elbow. Even though it was just a touch, Wen Yue felt that the skin on his elbow was a little hot.
Compared to him, Gu Xingshi didn't notice anything and was completely immersed in the movie.
In fact, he had watched it once when Pei Zhuozhi was making a rough cut, but at that time there was no soundtrack, no dubbing, and no post-production special effects, so it was relatively simple.
Now the finished product is out, and it is even better than he imagined.
When he thought that this movie was made by himself, Gu Xingshi felt a sense of happiness.
However, he was only immersed in it for a while, and soon turned around to look around, wanting to see the audience's feedback.
Seeing that the audience was watching the movie attentively, he turned around with satisfaction, but the mobile phone that was originally on his lap instantly slipped into the gap in the middle of the chair.
Wen Yue, who had been paying attention to Gu Xingshi, reached out to pick up the phone for him without thinking.
And Gu Xingshi also inserted his hand into the gap at the same time.
Almost at the same time.
As soon as Wen Yue's hand touched Gu Xingshi's mobile phone, another hand covered the back of his hand, and the warm fingertips did not have time to retract, and just embedded in his fingertips.
Wen Yue suddenly froze.
At that moment, time seemed to be stretched to an extremely long length. He could even feel the thin thread of Gu Xingshi's fingertips sliding through his fingers, bringing a tiny electric current.
Gu Xingshi was stunned for a moment when he touched Wen Yue's hand, but he soon felt his cold mobile phone from between Wen Yue's fingers, and with a nimble movement of his fingers, he pulled the phone out from under Wen Yue's hand.
But just as he was about to retract his hand, Wen Yue's hand suddenly grasped his.
The broad palm almost completely wrapped his hand in it, and the heat from the palm almost burned the back of his hand.
Before Gu Xingshi realized that something was wrong, Wen Yue quickly let him go.
Gu Xingshi put away his phone and glanced hesitantly at Wen Yue next to him.
It was just that the theater was too dark, and he couldn't see Wen Yue's expression clearly.
Thinking of this, he whispered, "Mr. Wen..."
Wen Yue's heart beat irregularly. He didn't know if Gu Xingshi realized something. His eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his head slightly in his direction: "What's wrong?"
Gu Xingshi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you scared?"
Wen Yue: "..."
He was about to say no, but suddenly remembered that he had read some reviews of "The Door" online before coming here. A couple reported that when they saw something scary, the other party would hug them.
Gu Xingshi suddenly asked him this...
Wen Yue's throat couldn't help but feel a little dry, and his body subconsciously tilted a little towards Gu Xingshi, and he whispered: "Yeah."
Gu Xingshi was just asking casually, but he didn't expect Wen Yue to actually admit it.
Who would have thought that Mr. Wen, who is tall and has a strong aura, is actually afraid of ghosts? ! It turns out that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
"Is that so." Gu Xingshi also turned around.
Wen Yue felt a faint expectation in his heart, and his hands on his legs couldn't help but clenched into fists. He seemed to hear the sound of blood flowing excitedly in his ears.
But the next second, Gu Xingshi took out a talisman from his pocket and "slapped" it against Wen Yue's chest.
Wen Yue: “?”
Gu Xingshi lowered his voice considerately: “Director Pei personally certified it, it’s very useful!”
Wen Yue: “…”
