Unlike the premiere of "The Legend of 1900", the premiere of "Catch Me If You Can" was held only in Xiazhou.
As the World Arts Festival approaches in Xiazhou, people from various states and even foreign friends are flocking here, not to mention media from all over the world.
In addition, with Fu Sheng and Zhao Wenyao both in attendance at the premiere, along with a host of celebrities including Xia Xianci and Bai Wanqiu, the premiere held in Xiazhou today was a scene that drew massive crowds!
The crowd that came to watch the spectacle was so large that it seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. The scene even alarmed the Xiazhou Security Bureau, which dispatched nearly 70% of its special envoys to maintain order.
"You foresaw this would happen?"
Seeing the enthusiastic atmosphere, Zhou Rongze was very pleased, but he also looked at Chen Bin beside him and asked, "So that's why we decided to hold the premiere outdoors?"
"Given Mr. Lin's current influence, and the fact that the premiere was held in Xiazhou, it's not hard to estimate the scale of the event."
Chen Bin replied indifferently.
"That's true."
Zhou Rongze rubbed his hands together: "I really didn't expect the review process for this movie to go so smoothly. At first, I was worried that it wouldn't pass the National Security Department's review."
"This is closely related to Mr. Lin's concept for designing the script."
"Even the protagonist, who broke the law, could not escape punishment. In the end, he accepted the offer of amnesty from the Security Bureau and made his own contribution to the country and the people."
"The protagonist's legendary life also echoes the words Mr. Lin inscribed in the film."
After hearing Chen Bin's explanation, Zhou Rongze asked curiously, "He even wrote an inscription? I don't recall it at all. What was it again?"
"A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold."
Ye Yinhui arrived unnoticed: "The Security Department has already sent people to remove the plaque with the inscription. I heard they took it back for safekeeping."
Zhou Rongze didn't react at first, but gradually, his expression became strange: "Can I understand that the review process was simplified because of this word?"
Chen Bin and Ye Yinhui both fell silent.
You said that, we didn't.
Zhou Rongze seemed to realize that he had said too much and chuckled awkwardly, "Alright, the premiere is about to start, I'll go take a look over there."
The premiere was a resounding success.
Many industry insiders from other states expressed envy and jealousy after seeing the huge commotion at the premiere of "Catch Me If You Can," fantasizing that one day they could also enjoy the same success as Zhou Rongze, Zheng Jing, Luo Qi, and others on stage.
Various media outlets were constantly flashing their cameras, but no media outlets broadcast the premiere live, as the entire broadcast was handled by [Xiazhou Voice].
"I never imagined that [Voice of Xiazhou] would have such a great influence in the sixteen states."
"This is all thanks to Fusheng, Lao Qian. What do you think? Should we reconsider joining [Voice of Xiazhou]?"
“Supporting local music platforms has long been an unwritten rule in our industry, so there’s no need to consider it. The key factor affecting our decision to join now is simply the allocation ratio.”
"That's right, Tianrui has tightened the ratio too much. Even the top ten music platforms overseas are not as ruthless as them."
"We'll think about this after the World Arts Festival. Don't be fooled by the fact that [Voice of Xiazhou] seems to have a dominant presence. Once the cultural walls of Lizhou and Sangzhou are unlocked, they might not be able to maintain this level of popularity. Of course, I won't say anything definitive, but as long as [Voice of Xiazhou] can still hold this market share at that time, I don't mind taking a loss."
"Okay, whatever you say."
…
Nowadays, celebrities appearing in Xiazhou are all discussing similar topics. After all, the market share of [Voice of Xiazhou] is so astonishing that it would be self-deception not to be tempted.
Everyone has their own way of doing things, and they all know that after the World Arts Festival, the entire entertainment industry in China will be open to the public, and the concept of a "cultural wall" will become history. Therefore, the software "Voice of Xiazhou" is more worthy of their consideration.
However, as celebrities, they also have their own pride. The harsh and uncompromising distribution of benefits by [Voice of Xiazhou] is something they dislike, so they have some conflicting feelings about this aspect.
Three hours later, with the premiere ceremony concluded, "Catch Me If You Can" was officially released!
On this day, even the cinemas in remote towns across the vast land of China were packed with people, their popularity comparable to that of tourist attractions during the Golden Week holiday!
"here we go!"
The once noisy screening room quickly quieted down, with occasional bursts of children's innocent cries occasionally escaping. However, this did not affect the audience's mood at all, and the vast majority of them showed understanding.
"What's going on? They're starting with a variety show?!"
"Truth or False?"
The audience was a little confused. Before they could figure out what was going on, the host on camera raised the microphone and said with a smile, "Now, please welcome our first guest. He makes a living by impersonating others and is the most shameless guest in the history of this program."
The audience laughed.
Although they didn't understand what the variety show in the movie was all about, that didn't stop them from enjoying it.
Seriously, is the host serious about calling this the most shameless guest in all the years?
Immediately afterwards, three people walked out.
The audience immediately recognized the three as Xiao Jingyu, Lin Rui, and Chi Tianju.
"Contestant number one."
"My name is Lan Wei."
"Contestant number two."
"My name is Lan Wei."
"Contestant number three."
"My name is Lan Wei."
What's going on here?
Are all three of them named Lanwei?
"I bet Fu Shen is Lan Wei!"
"Nonsense, Fusheng is the main character, okay? He's an imposter, how can the story continue?"
The people at the scene burst into laughter.
Variety shows come in all shapes and sizes. Although I didn't know the rules of the game in "True or False" beforehand, I was able to find clues by glancing at it a few times and using some keywords.
For example, the guest number is 1, but the introduction uses contestant number 1, 2, and 3.
"Guest number one successfully impersonated a pilot for Xiazhou Airlines over three years, flying seven million kilometers for free. During that time, he also impersonated the head of a pediatric intern at a hospital in Xinzhou and the assistant to the chief prosecutor of Fazhou."
"When he was arrested, everyone thought he was the youngest and most daring fraudster in Chinese history, because he used counterfeit checks to cash about 400 million yuan in just three years in thirteen countries around the world, and all of this happened before his 19th birthday!"
Holy crap!
The audience members who heard this resume were all dumbfounded!
Impersonating a pilot for Xiazhou Airlines?
Impersonating a pediatric intern supervisor at a hospital in Xinzhou?
Even the assistant to the chief attorney general of France dares to impersonate him?!
But that's just the appetizer. The real story is that they forged checks in thirteen countries around the world and successfully cashed 400 million in cash?!
Are you sure this kind of movie can be shown?!
wrong!
How the hell did this movie pass censorship?!
Audiences were simply surprised that a crime film like this could be released, while industry insiders were stunned.
How did Tianrui manage to get the State Security Bureau to allow the filming of this kind of movie?!
