Chapter 54 Movie Premiere
The semester passed quickly and it was the final exam week. As an auditor, Lu Yuqi, like all the students in Class 2 of Film and Television, had to take the final exam.
Lu Yuqi did not act in any drama group this semester, except for a few appearances for IBOLN Jewelry. The snake-shaped necklace he wore sold very well. Although the person in charge of IBOLN Jewelry did not say it explicitly, he said that they could continue to cooperate in the future.
Lu Yuqi attended classes obediently the rest of the time. Compared with the attendance rates of the other two auditors, Lu Yuqi's attendance rate was higher than that of some regular students. This made Shi Honghe, the recommender, very satisfied. He felt that he had not recommended the wrong person, who was a good candidate who could study hard. At the same time, he once again affirmed Liu Jiahe's vision.
The earliest final exams were for some large courses such as psychological construction and film analysis; physical education mainly depended on daily performance, and for this course, the physical education teacher directly exempted Lu Yuqi from the exam. Apart from the written test, the most important part is the reading of cultural works and impromptu performances.
Reading of cultural works: Students are required to prepare literary works by themselves and read them for three minutes each. It mainly examines students' dialogue skills, use of voice, and comprehension of the work.
Improvisational performance: students are asked to choose roles to play on the spot. The teacher briefly explains the background and lets the students perform. This mainly tests students' comprehensive qualities such as reaction, comprehension, and observation.
"I'm so nervous. I don't know what the improvisation will require me to do."
"This is random, right? Yuqi, are you nervous?" asked a boy from the second film and television class. He often played games with Lu Yuqi and Sheng Zuo.
"I'm nervous. I don't know what character I will get." How should I describe the feeling of opening a blind box? It's both exciting and nervous, but the nervousness is greater than the excitement.
Lu Yuqi performed an excellent impromptu performance and received unanimous recognition from the teachers after the performance.
"I was right about you. You are a talented boy." As one of the examiners, Shi Honghe praised Lu Yuqi.
"Thank you, Mr. Shi, for the compliment."
"Not bad, this semester was not wasted. Keep working hard next semester. If you have time, come and continue studying."
"Okay." Lu Yuqi's study period as an auditor is one year, which is two semesters. As an artist, few people can stay for two full semesters.
After finishing the exam, Lu Yuqi returned home feeling relaxed and received a new job arranged by Liu Jiahe.
"Brother Liu, you don't give me a chance to rest! I just finished the exam!"
"You've been resting for three months."
"I'm in school!"
"Don't think I don't know how exhausted you are from studying. This time, Director Shangkun's movie is coming out, and I need you to attend the premiere on Saturday.
”
"Oh, about that, okay. Where is it?"
"It's City B."
Lu Yuqi knew that Director Shang had invested all of his funds in filming and post-production, so he probably didn't have much money for publicity. He also didn't know what the schedule for this film would be like. It should be okay with Hu Xingchen as the lead actor.
Lu Yuqi secretly hopes that this drama will be a hit. After all, this is his first time acting in a movie, even though he is the third male lead. He followed Liu Jiahe's request and posted updates on Big Eyes and @Hu Xingchen, Lin Feijie and the crew.
Hu Xingchen, a 5G surfing expert, immediately replied: My 9,000-year-old, see you on Saturday~ Lin Feijie was not to be outdone and said to Lu Yuqi: My 9,000-year-old, see you on Saturday~
This has aroused the curiosity of fans and netizens:
What kind of drama is this? What does the two of you have to do with Jiu Qiansui? We'll see you there later.
The official Weibo account of the crew immediately replied to the fan: It’s a new movie starring Hu Xingchen! The main actors include Lin Feijie, Lu Yuqi and other veteran actors.
[Oh my god, have you checked out the official Weibo of the crew? What a fantastic lineup! 】
[Let me take a look.] 】
[No one else, except Hu Xingchen who is famous, the others are just average! 】
[I see that the sisters upstairs rarely watch serious dramas. 】
【hehe,**】
[Hey, hey, hey, please use civilized language upstairs! 】
The stills released by the crew’s official Weibo account attracted the attention of many netizens: [There are so many veteran actors! 】
[Yes, yes, who is the director? With so many veteran actors, I feel like this movie should be good. 】
[The director is Shangkun, and it’s a martial arts film...]
[The sky is falling, why!] 】
What’s going on? 】Some netizens who were not aware of the situation asked questions one after another.
[Director Shang Kun specializes in martial arts movies, but he hasn't made one for many years! What can I say about the photos I took before? There are good and bad ones. 】
[Don’t people say that he has run out of ideas?] 】
[I always thought he had retired from acting! 】
[This feeling is a bit complicated.] 】
Fans of Lu Yuqi and the other two expressed their support, and other netizens also said they would go and take a look.
When Shangkun saw the messages from all sides on the Internet, he was shocked. This was his last fight.
The drama premiered at 8pm on Saturday at the Xinghai Cinema in City B.
Many people at the scene were holding banners and cheering photos. Most of them were fans of Hu Xingchen, Xiao Xingxing. Fans of Lu Yuqi and Lin Feijie were scattered in every corner of the scene.
"Welcome everyone to the premiere of our film. Now let us invite our director and main actors to come on stage!"
Shang Kun brought Hu Xingchen, Lin Feijie and Lu Yuqi to the front, completely in the order of their performance rankings.
Shangkun took the microphone from the host and said, "Thank you all for coming to attend this premiere ceremony."
"Director Shang, I heard that this drama is all your hard work, right?"
"Of course not. We still have our actors and post-production to deal with! How can I handle a movie by myself?"
"That's not clear enough. I heard that Director Shang financed this drama himself. I heard that Director Shang even mortgaged his house for this drama. Is that true?"
Hearing the host's question, Lu Yuqi couldn't help but frown. Who hired this host? He must be here to ruin the show.
When the host asked the question, Director Shangkun replied calmly, "I don't know who you heard this from, and whether I know him or not, but what he said is not quite right. This play was certainly not invested by me alone, there are other investors, otherwise how could I have invited these young actors and veteran actors, relying on my reputation?"
Director Shangkun made a humorous remark at the end, which caused the audience to laugh happily.
"My brother is the best!" Fans below shouted and praised their idol.
"Well, you have the same vision as me!" Shang Kun praised the audience without forgetting to praise himself.
The host knew that his previous question had offended Shangkun, so he stopped talking and began the normal premiere process, asking everyone to introduce themselves and the names of their characters in the play.
Hu Xingchen: "Hello everyone, I am Hu Xingchen who plays the prince in the drama." Hu Xingchen's fan Xiao Xingxing waved banners to welcome him.
Lin Feijie: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Feijie, who plays the sixth prince in the drama." Lin Feijie's fans, the Feiji sisters, are not to be outdone.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Yuqi who plays the role of the 9,000-year-old in the drama." Lu Yuqi thought she didn't have many fans, but she didn't expect that the cheers at the scene were no less than those from Hu Xingchen and Lin Feijie.
Hearing the cheers, Lu Yuqi was very happy and his eyes turned into crescent shapes.
