103. "Night of Eternity" released
On December 26, the premiere day of "Eternal Night", Guan Miao, Chi Yi and others bought the earliest tickets in the morning to watch the theater version first.
Although many clips were not deleted at Guan Miao's strong request, Guan Miao still couldn't let it go until he saw the movie version.
At around 8:40, the cinema was empty except for the staff. Guan Miao looked at the situation and although he didn't say anything, he felt a little sad in his heart.
It seems that my worries yesterday were not unfounded.
An Jing sensed her low mood and held her hand. "On a weekend, who would get up so early just to watch a movie? Didn't we book the tickets just for some quiet time?"
"That's right, I was too nervous."
At this time, Wen Yuning came over with the ticket, "Miaomiao, we can check the tickets now."
After entering the theater, a familiar advertisement sounded on the big screen. Seeing that he was the only one in the theater, Guan Miao took off his mask with peace of mind.
When the lights go out, no one will recognize me.
Just as she was admiring her own cleverness, she heard several voices talking not far away. "It's so quiet, is there no one here?"
"We bought eight rows, don't go to the wrong place."
Almost instantly, Guan Miao lowered her head and pulled down her hat, pretending to be playing with her cell phone. An Jing beside her also sat up slightly, blocking part of her view.
The girls who had just come in were obviously so focused on finding their own seats that they had no time to care who the other moviegoers were.
Three minutes later, the theater suddenly became dark, and everyone consciously lowered the brightness and volume of their phones to avoid giving others a bad viewing experience.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
The familiar sound of the dragon mark rang out, and the seven or eight people present focused all their attention on the big screen.
………………
When the lights in the theater came on again, everyone realized that the little girl's life was over.
"All human traffickers deserve to die!"
An angry female voice from the back seat broke the silence of the theater. Chi Yi and the others in the front row nodded silently, and in their hearts they were madly applauding the girl's words.
Human traffickers deserve to die!
Compared to the excitement, indignation and sympathy of others, Guan Miao could be said to be the calmest person present. Not only did he not cry, but his eyes didn't even turn red.
After leaving the theater, Chai Yue was surprised to see her so calm, "Miaomiao, you?"
As if he understood what she was asking, Guan Miao gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry about me, I'm already desensitized."
During countless sleepless nights, she forced herself to recall various details over and over again, and forced herself to face the most reluctant and sad parts of her heart.
If the scene is rebuilt hundreds of times, even the deepest feelings will fade.
Listening to her nonchalant words, Chai Yue felt a little distressed. They knew best how bad Miaomiao's condition was after the filming of the movie was completed in mid-July.
I used to cry whenever I mentioned the names of the characters in the play, but now I can watch the whole play without changing my expression. It must have taken a lot of effort.
Thinking this, she didn't ask Guan Miao how he did it, but just asked what they were going to eat later.
"We're all out having fun, and it happens to be a festival, so we have to celebrate."
"Okay, after watching such a sad movie, I must spend some time to relax and celebrate Miaomiao's return to work."
Guan Miao thought about it and it made sense. "Alright, Sansan's cat food is almost finished. I remember there's a pet shop here. Why don't we stop by later?"
The others naturally responded, "Let's go, buy it now."
While they were engaging in revenge consumption, Gu Yun and his crewmates were still promoting the film vigorously. Meanwhile, the first group of viewers who had watched the film also posted their impressions online.
But because it was too early, the number of views was very low. Even Deng Ling's secret promotion did not work well. She was so worried that she kept scratching her head.
Seeing her so anxious, Shuangshuang quickly advised: "Don't be too nervous, Sister Deng Ling. Movies of the style of Sister Guan Miao usually don't do well at the box office at the first show. It mainly depends on the subsequent word of mouth."
Deng Ling sighed, "It's not that I don't know you're right, but I just can't let it go. Besides, the cinemas are very realistic. If the box office isn't good, they'll schedule fewer screenings.
Even if Miaomiao asks Mr. Chi to help stabilize the screening schedule, fans of other movies released at the same time will definitely not be happy. If they add fuel to the fire, it will be a double flop at the box office and in terms of reputation.”
The more she talked, the more anxious she became, and the idea of faking a private booking of the entire theater popped into her mind.
But the idea was strangled in the cradle as soon as it came out. No, no, if Miaomiao knew about this, she would definitely make a fuss. She absolutely couldn't do this.
If you think about it again, there must be a way to quickly increase the popularity.
In the afternoon, the mall gradually became lively. When Guan Miao and her friends passed by the cinema, they obviously saw a lot more people.
Chai Yue muttered quietly, "I wonder how many of these people are here to watch Miaomiao's movie."
Wen Yuning was originally listening quietly to what Chai Yue said, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl wearing a beige cotton coat and pulling a suitcase walking towards her from behind. She was so startled that she quickly poked the person next to her to turn around.
"She brought a suitcase to the movies? Could it be that she rushed to the airport right after traveling?"
Chi Yi and the others also shook their heads. "I don't know. Maybe they're planning to go traveling after watching the movie?"
However, Chai Yue, who was sitting at the edge, seemed to have thought of something.
The girl who was being watched by everyone pulled the suitcase to a secluded place, then put it aside, opened it, and took out a small folding table.
Looking at the girl's skillful movements, several people were very surprised. It was not until the girl took out a stack of paper, packaging bags and heating pads one after another that they realized what the girl was doing.
Guan Miao blinked, forcing away the heat in his eyes, took a few steps forward and asked, "Excuse me, what are you doing?"
The girl who was still picking up something looked up subconsciously when she heard the voice, but shut her mouth when she saw the person in front of her.
Why is this person dressed like this? Could he be a bad person?
Seeing the suspicious look in the girl's eyes, Guan Miao immediately said, "I'm not a bad person. I just caught a cold recently, so I'm wearing a mask."
After saying this, afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he pointed to Chi Yi and the others standing next to him and said, "They are all my friends. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."
Chi Yi and the others who were named immediately came over to defend Guan Miao, saying, "We are really not bad people. We are just a little curious about what you are doing."
These people don’t really look like bad guys, they should be passers-by. This is a great opportunity to promote Miaomiao’s new drama!
Thinking of this, the girl smiled widely and stood up to hand Guan Miao the gift bag and promotional paper. "Hello, the newest work of rookie actor Guan Miao is released today. If you are interested, please pay more attention to it."
Guan Miao didn't answer, but only asked: "Did someone arrange for you to do this? Is it Guan Miao's agent or a big fan?"
