Chapter 1068 Li Xiaodong, you can do it!
Unfortunately, Yu Mengmeng's expectation is destined to be dashed.
Lin Fan didn't even dare to show up in person to promote Li Xiaodong. How could Lin Fan show up at such an important event as the premiere and steal all the limelight from Li Xiaodong? Lin Fan and Xia Yan came back and attended the premiere, but not as guests, nor as Li Xiaodong's friends. Instead, they disguised themselves as ordinary audiences and sneaked into the premiere screening room to watch the entire interactive process of the premiere.
Fans who learned that Lin Fan would appear at the premiere tried to find him at the scene, but to no avail.
Just like that, the interactive session ended, the lights on the scene dimmed, and the movie was about to start.
Lai Xiaodong returned to the backstage and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately breathed a sigh of relief again: "I don't know if this movie can attract the audience."
Yang Hongxia knocked on the door and came in, smiling and comforting: "Just put your mind at ease, change into something comfortable, and then go out to watch a movie. Leave the rest to us."
"Sister Xia!" Everyone in the lounge greeted Yang Hongxia.
Li Xiaodong also stood up: "Sister Xia, how was my performance today? Did I not bring shame to the company?"
The important thing is, I didn't embarrass Brother Fan, did I? Yang Hongxia patted Li Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "You performed very well, and you also controlled the rhythm of the whole scene very well, just as good as your Brother Fan. You should know that at the premiere of your Brother Fan's first movie, Director Liang had to help with the rhythm!"
Li Xiaodong's performance was already very good. At least Yang Hongxia couldn't find any fault with it.
Of course, when some media are reporting, they will make up problems for you even if there are none in order to attract attention. Yang Hongxia would not mention such things to Li Xiaodong to avoid affecting his mood.
"I have good news for you. Your brother Fan is here, but they are disguised. I don't know where they are sitting. Don't look for them after you go out. You won't find them anyway. Just watch the movie."
Li Xiaodong asked in surprise: "Brother Fan is back?"
Li Xiaodong knew that Lin Fan took Xia Yan out for a trip. He also knew that Lin Fan did this to leave more space for himself, lest Lin Fan quickly snatch the popularity of the movie and Li Xiaodong as soon as he appeared in public, which would be detrimental to publicity, so Lin Fan took the initiative to avoid it.
Li Xiaodong felt both touched and guilty.
I was touched that Brother Fan always considered me and even paid attention to such subtle details and took the initiative to avoid them.
The guilt comes from the fact that I feel I have failed Brother Fan's expectations. If I were stronger and could take on the responsibility of the film and withstand the pressure of the box office, Brother Fan wouldn't have to do this.
Li Xiaodong always felt that he was the one who forced Lin Fan to go traveling.
Now that Lin Fan is back, how can Lai Xiaodong not be surprised? But at the same time, Lin Fan also pretended to watch the premiere of the movie. This silent support also made Lai Xiaodong feel pressured: if the final box office of the movie...呸呸呸呸!
It's New Year's Day, don't say such depressing words! Yang Hongxia didn't know what Li Xiaodong had thought of in this second, and only said: "Yes, your brother Fan is very optimistic about you, I believe you will not let him down. So, cheer up, put on your best appearance, and go out to watch the movie with everyone, the leading actor!"
The word "leading actor" made Li Xiaodong shudder. He even straightened his back three points involuntarily. The uneasiness on his face disappeared in an instant, and he looked much more energetic.
Yang Hongxia was very satisfied. She thought that Li Xiaodong might have grown up in such a good environment that he had never experienced the harshness of society and still retained a sense of innocence and purity in his nature.
This purity is not only rare in the entertainment industry, but also a rare quality in society as a whole. This is one of the reasons why Lin Fan can become good friends with Li Xiaodong, and it is also the reason why Yang Hongxia took a liking to Li Xiaodong at first sight and wanted to sign him to her.
More importantly, over the past few years, Li Xiaodong's purity has not only not been erased, but has grown into another quality: a sense of responsibility.
Lai Siu-tung regards this movie as his responsibility and the box office of the movie as his mission, so he cares so much about his performance at every moment and whether he can satisfy everyone.
To be honest, the company is lucky to have such an artist, but for the artist himself, the pressure is too great.
On the one hand, Yang Hongxia couldn't bear to see Li Xiaodong putting so much pressure on her, but on the other hand, she was reluctant to interrupt the process of forcing herself to grow. In short, she was very conflicted inside.
Then it was Lin Fan who persuaded Yang Hongxia: "You have to let him go and try his best to see if he can do it. If he can, then everyone will be happy. If not, it doesn't matter. Are we humans afraid of setbacks? If one movie fails, then make two.
If two films are not enough, then three, four... I don’t have much here, but I have a lot of opportunities. I’m only afraid that they won’t work hard, and I’m not afraid that they will fall and never get up again.”
Therefore, Yang Hongxia, Lin Fan, even Liang Wen, Zhou Xiang and Lu Bingyang all saw that Li Xiaodong put too much pressure on themselves, and they allowed him to push themselves, because the Earthling Studio could afford such a failure.
And it happened more than once or twice.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Of course, too many failures are definitely not good. Li Xiaodong has a standard in his heart, while the standard set by Lin Fan and others is slightly looser than the one Li Xiaodong set for himself.
But no matter what, in the end, Li Xiaodong still needs to overcome this hurdle himself.
Today's movie premiere is the most difficult hurdle that Lai Siu-tung is facing: if he can overcome it, the future will be bright; if he cannot, it will all depend on his psychological endurance.
"Sister Xia, I'll change my clothes and come out right away. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Yang Hongxia didn't say much, just smiled and nodded: "Okay, then we'll wait for you at the door."
Li Xiaodong moved quickly, quickly changing into the clothes he had prepared in advance, slightly changing his makeup and hairstyle, and before leaving the house, he cheered himself up in the mirror: "Li Xiaodong, you can do it!"
The self in the mirror responded with a big smile, but the determination hidden in his eyes was unquestionable.
When Li Xiaodong pushed open the lounge door, he returned to his usual optimistic state: "Let's go watch a movie!"
