Chapter 327 Front Seat and Back Seat

Except for the premiere midnight shows of some highly anticipated and long-awaited movies, midnight shows at other times are always difficult to fill.

Tonight is the third night of the release of "Sister Exorcist", and it also happens to be Sunday night. Those working people who failed to grab movie tickets in the first place but have to go to work tomorrow will undoubtedly have to reluctantly choose to postpone watching the movie.

Of course, the most important reason is that some of their friends carefully gave them a spoiler, saying that this movie has some "horror" elements, and those who are not brave enough should choose to watch it during the day...

So, after confirming that there were not many people watching the midnight show at the cinema tonight, Zhang Wanyu dressed up and quietly came to the door of the cinema.

Apart from the inappropriate large sunglasses, with the rolled-up magazine and milk tea in her hands, she looks like a young girl waiting for her boyfriend to buy snacks.

Although Hong Kong is a city that never sleeps, it is obviously much quieter at this time than during the day. Zhang Wanyu stayed in the corner of the cinema entrance for a long time. Passers-by did not realize that the young girl in front of them was one of the protagonists of the movie not far behind her.

"So this is what happens when something is false but appears real, and when something is real but appears false?" Er Dongxing, who was also dressed up, came over with a big bag of snacks. When he saw Zhang Wanyu standing so casually in front of the poster of "The Demon-Exorcist Sister", he couldn't help but smile and said softly.

"Are you mocking my poor Chinese again?" Zhang Wanyu put her hands on her waist, looking unruly and willful.

"The show is going to start soon inside, so we don't have to perform it here, right?" Er Dongxing said meaningfully.

"Who said I was acting? Look!" Zhang Wanyu raised the magazine in her hand, "'Enemies in the play, but enemies in real life? The true story of Er Dongxing and Zhang Wanyu who are not in harmony with each other'!"

"It's well written, but it's a pity that I can't get through the smoke and find out the truth." Er Dongxing took it and flipped through it, and found that this report really recorded "details": starting from when Zhang Wanyu participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, he dug up the past when he was a judge in the Miss Hong Kong finals and didn't think highly of Zhang Wanyu; then, according to the performance of the two of them when they were filming "The Exorcist Sister", they initially disliked each other and later showed hostility on the surface, and thus wrote in detail about the reasons and developments of their meeting and their discord...

In fact, their discord was only on the surface; the real situation was that during the filming of "Sister Exorcist", they really went from disliking each other to having feelings for each other just like the plot in the drama, and even now, they have quietly developed an underground relationship.

The inexperienced Zhang Wanyu wanted to make the relationship public, but after considering many factors, Er Dongxing persuaded her with kind words: first, if they made the relationship public, it would seem like a false scandal released for the purpose of movie promotion; second, Zhang Wanyu had just debuted not long ago, and as a Miss Hong Kong star, it would have a great impact on her career development if she made her relationship public.

And most importantly, although Er Dongxing is no longer the beautiful boy in ancient costume who once followed Di Jiang, he definitely has a lot of crazy fans. There are too many examples in the circle where after male stars made their relationships public, the female partners were sent blood letters, verbally abused, or even sought to be harmed by crazy fans. Without a suitable opportunity, Er Dongxing dare not let his girlfriend take risks.

"Okay, I know you care about me. The show's about to start, let's go in." In fact, she had already watched the movie when it premiered, but Zhang Wanyu went to the movie not only to spend some rare alone time with her boyfriend, but also to watch her performance in the movie over and over again: who wouldn't want their performance to be appreciated if they could enter this circle and play the leading role in a movie?

Unfortunately, even though Er Dongxing secretly tutored her, and Su Yun and director Wang Zheng also taught her step by step, her performance in the play was still rather green and immature, and her performance when the three of them were in the same frame was far inferior to that of the other two protagonists, Lin Qingxia and Mei Yanshuang - even in terms of the number of roles and her current status in the circle, Lin and Mei both surpassed her.

"You are indeed inferior to the other two, but considering that this is your first time filming a movie, your performance is still good." So it is said that love filters make people blind. Even Er Dongxing, who is famous for his sharp tongue, will subconsciously set double standards for his girlfriend.

"Okay, okay, stop comforting me. I know my own situation, so I want to re-watch my own performance again and again, and then find out the shortcomings at that time, and try to avoid them and improve in the future!" When Zhang Wanyu said this, she was really proud of herself for being able to see Er Dongxing's true nature beyond the phenomenon: if it were another man, he would definitely think that her behavior was pretentious and unnecessary. Only Er Dongxing, who strives for perfection in his work, would support her to continue to improve.

In particular, Er Dongxing also reserved the video tape of "Exorcist Sister" for her. When the video tape arrives, she can watch it at home every day without having to risk going out to the cinema to watch her own performance.

"The big screen and the small screen are different. Many details and flaws that cannot be seen on the small screen can be clearly seen on the big screen, and this is the fundamental reason why the big screen has always been more demanding than the small screen." Er Dongxing pointed out, and then held his girlfriend's hand, "However, as long as you want to watch it, I will try my best to take time to watch it with you during the release period."

Zhang Wanyu was touched by these sweet words that touched her heart. She smiled so hard that her teeth were showing: "Then we have a deal!"

Zhang Wanyu went to buy tickets at a good time tonight, and the last few rows were still empty, so after careful consideration, she bought a seat in the third row from the back: it would allow her to hide from others, and at the same time, she could see the movie better than seats further back.

She happily dragged Er Dongxing to the third-to-last row in the back row. After they sat down quietly, the classic "SB" opening of Zhao's movie immediately appeared.

Speaking of this opening, it has an inexplicable connection with Warner's "WB": the opening icon of Warner movies is a shield with two letters "WB", which comes from the English name of their company "Warner Bros".

At that time, Hong Kong particularly liked to follow the trend of Hollywood, so Zhao Rifu, who had the dream of building an oriental Hollywood, modified the English name of his Zhao Brothers Pictures according to the English name of Warner Brothers, and named it "Super Bros" in the shield, which means "Super (Chao) Bros" or "Super Zhao Brothers" - in this way, the abbreviation of Zhao is "SB", which makes people speechless for a long time after seeing it...

Of course, for Er Dongxing and Zhang Wanyu now, this abbreviation, which has been given a new meaning by Mandarin, is not enough to make them laugh out loud.

Only Su Yun, who was sitting quietly in the middle of the last row of seats in the cinema, laughed softly at the "SB" on the screen: Although I have seen it so many times, this "SB" usually stays for 20 seconds, and no matter how funny it is, I can't stand it...

However, Chen Boyang and Zhang Querong, who were sitting on her left and right, were confused: They didn't know why, but every time Su Yun watched Zhao's movies, she would laugh out loud from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't worry, we've seen it, it's not that scary, on the contrary it's quite good. You can see that there were quite a lot of people watching the midnight show tonight." Chen Boyang said hesitantly.

Su Yun looked to the left speechlessly: "I participated in the post-editing of this play - I watched it at least a hundred times in the small dark room. No one is more familiar with the plot than me..."

"Then why did you come to see it?" Chen Boyang asked in confusion.

"What I want to see when I go to the cinema is not the movie itself, but the audience's reaction." So Su Yun actually doesn't like going to premieres, because most of the people attending are her own people, as well as invited journalists and film critics, and she doesn't get much feedback from the general public.

The reason she occasionally goes to premieres is basically to create momentum and publicity.

"I think so too. Whether a play is good or not still depends on the reaction of the audience watching it on site." Zhang Querong, who was sitting on the right side of Su Yun, nodded in agreement: It's a pity that there are not only many people during the day, but also the seats are so dense that it's too easy to be caught by the audience on the spot - by then, maybe my underwear will be stripped off by the overly enthusiastic and overly excited audience...

Understanding what Zhang Querong meant, Chen Boyang, who also had rich experience of being "touched" by fans, immediately covered his face in pain.

Why do Hong Kong people evolve so fast? From shyly holding flowers and saying "Danny gives it to you" to dancing with flowers and hugging him tightly and shouting "Danny, I love you", in just a few years...

"Oh my, look what I saw?" While the subtitles were still playing, Su Yun raised her eyes and saw two secret lovers sitting not far in front of her.

"I've suspected from the beginning that they were having an affair, and today they were putting on a show and pretending to be at odds in front of me. No wonder I said something was not right no matter how I looked at them. I thought they were trying to get on the cover of a magazine!" Zhang Querong took a closer look and found that Er Dongxing and Zhang Wanyu were acting like a couple in love, so he slapped his thigh immediately.

There is a Cantonese idiom called "狗上瓦坑——有一个路", which originally means that a dog cannot climb up the wall like a cat, so when the dog can appear on the roof, there must be a hidden path for it to go up. Later, it was extended to mean "there is a cat" and "there is a reason for everything", and is often used as a metaphor for the unusual relationship between a man and a woman.

"Be careful, they looked back..." Seeing Zhang Wanyu suddenly look back, Chen Boyang quickly pulled Su Yun and the other two to lower their heads.

At the same time, Zhang Wanyu was really confused when she found Su Yun and the other two sitting behind her. After two minutes of digesting the news and "confirming" that the three of them had not discovered her, she quickly gossiped with Er Dongxing: "Mary, Danny, and Lesley were sitting behind us - the three of them secretly came to watch the midnight show!"

"So what if it's a midnight show? You and I can only watch the midnight show. They are easier to recognize than us. They definitely don't dare to go to the daytime show." Er Dongxing was a little confused.

"You really make me die of anger - is the focus the midnight show?" Zhang Wanyu was afraid that they would be discovered from behind, but she was unwilling to remain indifferent to this gossip, so she waved her fingers twice, "The focus is on the three of them!"

In particular, Su Yun chose a seat in the middle, and most cinemas have a layout that gets lower from the back to the front.

At first glance, it looked like Su Yun, the scumbag emperor, had secretly brought out the two "concubines" with whom she was always having an affair to watch a show...
