105. Roadshow
The next day at 2 pm in the afternoon, Guan Miao's appearance in the backroom of Jisheng Cinema shocked many people present.
Gu Yun, who had just come out of the fitting room, was also surprised to see her, "Miaomiao, you have recovered so well?"
Guan Miao had a faint smile on her face, but she unnoticedly pulled away Gu Yun's hand and said, "Yeah, I think I've almost recovered. I have no problem with the remaining roadshows."
"That won't do," Gu Yun said with a serious expression, "You are still so skinny, you can't stand running around with us, you should just stay at home and rest.
Don't worry about the roadshow. I think anyone who has seen the movie will say nothing about you."
Even Jing Qing, who rarely spoke on the set, came over to dissuade her, "I stick with Gu Yun's idea on this point. Have you forgotten that you fainted five times on the set and called an ambulance three times?
I guess you wouldn’t want something like this to happen at a roadshow, would you? "
As she spoke, she seemed to have discovered something. "Are you worried that you won't make any money as an investor? Don't worry. Yesterday's premiere box office exceeded our expectations, reaching 1.55 million."
"That is to say," Gu Yun took out a statistical table from his phone and handed it to Guan Miao, "with our subject matter, the release date, and the underworld screening schedule, we are both very satisfied with the high box office for the premiere.
I'm confident that once word of mouth picks up, we'll definitely be able to break 50 million!"
"Okay, then when the box office breaks through, Director Gu, don't forget to give everyone red envelopes."
The originally quiet crowd immediately became lively when they heard about giving out red envelopes. "Yes, give out red envelopes."
"Director Gu, please don't deny your responsibility when the time comes."
Under the urging of the crowd, Gu Yun agreed on a whim and promised to give everyone a big red envelope when the box office of the movie really exceeded 50 million.
"Oh, Director Gu is so generous."
"Alright, alright, go back to your normal duties. Red envelopes are red envelopes. If anything goes wrong during the roadshow, I won't show any mercy."
"Okay."
Half an hour later, Guan Miao and others stood in the familiar theater. Looking at the completely unfamiliar faces in front of them, she herself did not realize that she had adjusted herself to a state of preparation.
After some self-introductions and movie promotion, it was time for reporters to ask questions.
I don't know why, but today's reporters seemed particularly enthusiastic. As soon as the host finished speaking and asked people to raise their hands to ask questions, several hands were raised in the audience instantly.
"Since the first question is for Teacher Guan Miao, let's ask Teacher Guan Miao to select the first lucky reporter for today."
"Okay, then who will be the first lucky reporter today?" Guan Miao took over the host's words while carefully searching the audience. "Let's invite the lady in the green coat."
The selected reporter immediately stood up with the microphone in hand, "Hello, Teacher Guan Miao, I'm a reporter from Today's Entertainment. I'm very lucky to be chosen by you to be the first reporter for this event.
I also watched the premiere of Eternal Falling yesterday, and a question has been lingering in my mind. I wonder if Mr. Guan could answer it from Bai Zhi's perspective.
"Of course, just say it."
"I want to ask why Bai Zhi chose to jump off the building in the end? On the bus back to school, she met a kind woman and saw a glimmer of hope. Why did she still choose to jump off the building?"
After hearing her question, Guan Miao's breathing paused, and he raised the microphone to answer after several seconds.
"First of all, regarding the scene where Bai Zhi jumps off the building at the end, I actually discussed it with the director and the screenwriter for a long time about whether or not he should jump off the building. I always felt that he should.
Secondly, regarding the glimmer of hope you just mentioned, based on my understanding of the character of Bai Zhi, she could no longer believe in humans at that time.
When Bai Zhi was still a child, she was abducted into the mountains because she trusted a poor aunt on the roadside. After she came back, although the existence of her younger brother made her feel heartbroken, she still believed that her parents still loved her and had not forgotten her.
But the reality dealt her a heavy blow. Her parents only cared about her younger brother and never saw or heard what she said. They looked at her with disgust, and bit by bit, they consumed the only motivation that supported her to survive in the mountains.
After entering boarding school, she also thought about starting over, studying hard and going to school in a completely new city where no one knew her past, or working part-time.
So she tried to make friends with her roommates and deskmates, but she was bullied just three days after entering school. The bullies said they wanted to beat her up because they disliked her.
It was a very outrageous reason, but it seemed normal for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. She went to the teacher and the school, but no one cared.
So she didn't dare look at people when walking to school every day, for fear that she would accidentally offend others and get beaten up.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for her to have the energy to study well. In addition, the lack of primary education means that her grades in three years may only be worse.
I think the time she escaped back home was her last chance to survive, but this chance was cut short by her parents' light words.
So, I think she had already made up her mind to die at that time.
After getting on the bus, even if she met a bunch of good people on the bus, they could not fill her empty heart. Therefore, I always felt that Bai Zhi's jumping off the building was inevitable.
She is wary of everyone and has no friends to tie her down; she has no knowledge and cannot plan a suitable path for her future, and cannot see her own future.
When she tried her best but found that she could not find any thoughts to support herself to continue living, she chose to jump off the building, ending her short but painful life.
When Guan Miao finished his last sentence, the whole audience burst into applause, which lasted for a while before dying down. Tears welled up in the eyes of the female reporter, "Teacher Guan's words are very reasonable. I've learned a lot."
"It's just my humble opinion, sorry to make you laugh."
Seeing that they had finished their conversation, the host immediately stepped in to take control of the situation, "Then let's choose the second reporter."
…
"How did Teacher Guan Miao lose weight so quickly in such a short period of time? Does she have any weight loss tips to share with everyone?"
"I hired three professional fitness coaches and two nutritionists to work out a plan for my weight loss, which is why I was able to lose so much weight in three months.
I did it to fit the role's requirements, but I don't think anyone else should adopt my extreme weight loss methods. If you want to lose weight, you should consult a professional."
…
"One last question, why isn't Teacher Guan Miao among the leading actors in the next few roadshows?"
"Because Director Gu felt sorry for me, he didn't let me run around and told me to stay in City C.
Dear journalists, please don't miss me too much. We will definitely have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
