Chapter 249 Tools No. 1, 2 and 3 are in place
As the representative of Wanda Cinema Line, Wanda Cinema in Beijing North CBD is basically the exclusive theater for major movie premieres.
On July 28, a new movie of the 2016 summer season was released here - "Detective Chinatown".
Before four o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Bai arrived at the scene with the leading actors of the film crew and representatives of the production company.
"I just looked at the movie schedule for next week." Chen Zhixi came over with his mobile phone, "Fortunately, we have moved up the schedule, otherwise the theater line really can't schedule the films."
"What are the movies next?" Meng Bai asked.
"August 1, Cheng Long's "Skiptrace"; August 4, Bona's "Legend of the Gods"; August 5, "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" co-produced by Shanghai Film Group and LeTV Pictures."
After saying that, Chen Zhixi himself couldn't help but sigh.
In less than ten days, four movies were released one after another, and they were all large-scale productions with medium to high costs.
Coupled with those "old films" that have been released before and have not been finished, as well as some low-cost films, the second half of the entire summer season can be said to be "full of films".
It is foreseeable that at least one of the four big productions will become cannon fodder.
The original release date of "Detective Chinatown" was also early August, mainly to stagger with the previous "So Young 2".
It's just that people didn't expect that this movie, which has the triple BUFF of "Liu Yifei, Wu Fan and youth film", would collapse so thoroughly. After
more than 20 days of release, the box office barely exceeded 300 million.
As the producer, Ruyi Films is not bad, anyway, the income that should be taken has been taken long ago.
But the micro-film era, which previously gave the film a guaranteed release of 400 million, was very uncomfortable, and directly lost tens of millions.
With such a poor performance, there is naturally no need to consider it.
So "Detective Chinatown" simply moved up the release date to avoid crowding, and by the way, it can also grab the first-mover advantage.
…
It was time for the premiere to start. The red carpet area outside the main theater of the premiere was full of entertainment reporters with their cameras.
At the audience passage on the other side, nearly a hundred fans, fans and film and television bloggers were also queuing to enter.
The premiere was held in the largest main theater in the theater, which could accommodate more than 400 people, more than enough for the people present.
Meng Bai passed by and nodded with satisfaction at the dense crowd outside.
The more people, the better. It would be best if it was packed so that no one could see each other on the left or right.
Walking into the main theater from the employee passage, Meng Bai heard someone calling him before he had time to observe the layout.
"Uncle!"
Meng Ziyi, who was already waiting at the scene, saw him enter the door and hurriedly got up and ran over, his expression full of excitement and excitement.
Although the movie premiere is not a big event, it is also a rare opportunity for young newcomers who have just debuted.
Even if you can't meet anyone, it's good to see the world.
"I thought you would come in on the red carpet." Meng Ziyi said.
She followed the crew directly into the backstage, and just saw a lot of celebrity guests there.
There was a red carpet, autographs, and reporters taking pictures around, which made her very envious.
I thought Meng Bai would come in so conspicuously, but unexpectedly he slipped in from the other side alone.
"Your uncle has always been a low-key person and doesn't get involved in such things that show off." Meng Bai made up a reason.
Just kidding, the red carpet order of the crew is ranked last. If I'm not at the scene, who knows what will happen inside.
But after saying that, he looked at Meng Ziyi and asked, "Why, do you want to experience it?"
"Forget it, who am I to walk the red carpet." Meng Ziyi said very self-awarely.
A few days ago, she took the script back and thought about it for a long time. In the end, she chose the role of "Zhou Shutong", the "new policeman" in "White Night Chase".
Because she knew that her acting skills were not as good as those of her seniors such as Pan Yueming and Wang Longzheng, she had been concentrating on studying the script and the role during this period. When she had questions, she shamelessly called her acting teacher to ask them for advice. She
originally planned not to leave the school until the filming started, but Meng Bai suddenly came to her and said that he would bring her to the premiere.
He provided resources and took her to participate in the event. Meng Ziyi is now full of gratitude to her uncle.
Looking at the "number one tool man" in front of him, Meng Bai rethought today's plan in his mind.
According to the location distribution on the scene, the entire viewing area is divided into three parts.
The front is the crew area. At the suggestion of Meng Bai, all the leading actors and their main creative staff will be here throughout the show.
In this way, he "has no way" to sit with others.
The middle part is the guest area, which is divided into two parts on the left and right.
Meng Bai has arranged the staff for on-site guidance in advance, and Li Qin and Li Yitong will be guided to separate on both sides at that time.
When leaving the venue, the left and right areas will also leave from the doors on both sides to ensure that there is no contact throughout the process.
As for the audience area in the back row, it is separated from the front to ensure that no one can go around to the other side.
Under this arrangement, the entire viewing period and the subsequent interaction can ensure that the scene is controlled within the plan.
In this way, there are only two dangerous links in the entire event. One is the short period from the red carpet entrance to the premiere. He must not hide and not meet.
The other is the end of the show. In case a girl comes to him on a whim, he must reserve room for error.
Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to "Tool Man No. 2".
Meng Bai: [Lao Zhang, where are you?]
Zhang Ruoyun: [Just went out, it will take about 20 minutes to arrive.]
Meng Bai: [Huh, so slow? I thought you were almost there.]
Zhang Ruoyun: [Can you blame me? Your teacher Li insisted on dragging my girlfriend with him. You don’t know how slow it is for two women to go out.]
Meng Bai: [It’s okay, this is good. Keep in touch. 】
...
Open another WeChat and contact "Tool Man No. 3".
Meng Bai: [Huahua, have you seen your sister Tongtong? 】
Hua Yan: [Yes, she has parked in the basement. By the way, she seems to have come with Sister Wang Ou. 】
Meng Bai: [It doesn't matter, it doesn't affect. Keep in touch. 】
...
Putting down the phone, Meng Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good, the time of both sides has been successfully staggered, and there should be no problems in the first link.
Glancing at Meng Ziyi next to him, Meng Bai showed a kind smile.
"Meng Meng, I have a task for you today."
"Okay."
Meng Ziyi agreed without thinking.
After agreeing, she asked, "What task?"
"It's very simple, help me be a wingman."
