Chapter 251 I'm Not Interested In Box Office
251 I'm not interested in box office
After the essay contest of the "Huaxia Dragon Group" and the meager topic of "Are you hungry today?", the popularity of "The First Drop of Blood" finally gradually became popular.
Some loyal fans will discuss it privately from time to time, and some netizens will occasionally post some imaginations about "The First Blood" online.
Of course, it must be admitted that the overall popularity of "The First Blood" is still not as popular as "The King of the Sky". The publisher of that movie spent real money, but it is much more powerful than Chen Fei's little tricks and is more useful.
But Chen Fei was not in a hurry at all and still followed the steps.
On August 27, 2012, the premiere of "The First Drop of Blood" was held in the Great Hall of the People.
The Great Hall of the People will hold many public events, such as movie premieres, but there are not many movies that can or dare to hold premieres here, and many people do not have the courage, let alone the confidence.
Even the premiere of "King of the Sky" is not dared to be held here.
Of course, even if they apply, they probably won’t be able to apply.
But Chen Fei's global premiere of "The First Drop of Blood" is held here.
"Brother Fei, don't forget it at 4 o'clock in the afternoon." Xu Yun knocked on Chen Fei's door and reminded softly.
"Don't worry, I won't forget it." Chen Fei raised his head and smiled at Xu Yun.
The premiere will officially start at 8 o'clock, and there will be a brief interaction around 7 o'clock. The creators of "The First Blood" will be made collectively and interact with the audience and media reporters on the scene. After the movie is over, there will be a press conference. As the creator of the movie, you can usually enter the venue one hour in advance. For example, you can arrive at the scene at 6 o'clock, walk the red carpet, meet the reporters and fans, and then enter the venue. That's OK.
However, Chen Fei planned to set off at four o'clock and strive to arrive at the scene at around four o'clock, mainly because he wanted to interact with the movie fans who arrived at the scene.
According to incomplete statistics, as of now, all 1,000 movie tickets at the premiere have been sold out, and many people are hard to get a ticket. Many people even called Chen Fei's friends and asked to go through the back door to get a movie ticket for "The First Blood".
To be honest, Chen Fei's current appeal is really very strong. Even if he doesn't do any publicity, as long as he calls, his premiere will definitely be full.
Chen Fei didn't know about the rest, but he heard from Yang Xiyue that at this time, his Chen family's fan group had already reached 100,000, and each of them was a member with great appeal. With a wave of his arms, he could command more than a dozen or even hundreds of people. With these people alone, he would not have to worry about not being able to sell the tickets for the premiere.
However, Chen Fei still made a public sale.
But in order to ensure that those tickets are not hyped by scalpers, he asked to buy tickets with his ID card, and the tickets must be complete when entering the venue, one by one, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter.
In addition, his ticket price is very reasonable. The ones that are worse are thirty-one, and the ones that are better are only fifty yuan, so there is no price increase.
It is said that the highest movie ticket for "King of the Sky" was sold for 801. Compared with the movie ticket for "The First Blood" is really full of sincerity.
Although he had already set the premiere in the Great Hall of the People, the seats were still limited after all, so many fans and movie fans could not buy tickets, but they would come to the scene to cheer for Chen Fei and cheer for him. Chen Fei could not be indifferent to their efforts, so he planned to go to the scene earlier and interact with the fans.
It is not difficult to gain popularity of celebrities, but it is not easy to maintain such popularity and requires hard work.
The reason why Chen Fei wanted to hire a secretary was because he needed someone to help him deal with the interaction and communication with his fans.
At 4:40 p.m. that day, Chen Fei arrived at the scene.
As soon as he came out of the car, the tsunami-like cheer came.
"Brother Fei!"
"Brother Fei, I love you!"
"I love you, Brother Fei!"
Some fans waved their hands excitedly, and some fans wanted to jump up and signaled to Chen Fei. Unfortunately, there were too many people on the scene, and there were people around them. They were buried in the crowd and could not move, let alone jump. Some fans surrounded their hands and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Brother Fei, I love you--"
Today, Chen Fei invited all the forces of two security companies, and then he barely maintained the order at the scene, otherwise it would be chaotic.
Chen Fei buttoned up the suit.
Today he was wearing a dark red slim suit, which was tailored for him by a domestic clothing company. It is very beautiful and highlights his figure very well.
His face was also lightly dressed up by the makeup artist. Although he didn't like to apply whatever he wanted, he still didn't dare to do whatever he wanted at this important moment, because he also knew that when he dressed up a little, his whole body would look more natural and more beautiful in the spotlight. Although he didn't rely on his face to make a living, he hoped that fans would like his face.
Chen Fei came to a location in the center of the red carpet, took a microphone from a staff member, and started chatting with the fans on the scene.
"Dear fans and friends, first of all, please allow me to express my most sincere thanks to everyone with the most solemn etiquette!"
Hulalalala-
The applause was thunderous and lasting for a long time.
Chen Fei's eyes moved from the left to the right, then from the right to the left, then turned around and looked at the other side, with young faces and cute faces that moved him so much.
The applause lasted for more than a minute.
After the applause fell, Chen Fei picked up the microphone and continued: "It's four-forty-five now, but I've arrived at the scene because I want to stay with everyone for a while."
"I just looked at it. There are so many friends who came to the scene today, some from the south, some from the northeast, some from the desert, and of course, many friends from abroad."
"I know, it's not easy for everyone to come here to attend today's premiere. They have to ask for leave from their boss and ask for money from their parents. Sometimes you say to your friends or colleagues, saying that you are going to the Great Hall of the People to watch the premiere, and someone will say to you sorrow, "Oh, I'm so rich, I have no place to spend money, right?" I know, whenever this time, many friends will be angry and anxious, but I suggest that whenever you encounter such a thing in the future, don't be anxious. You should explain to them patiently and be very patient. You can say to them, yes, I'm just rich, why, are you envious?"
Hahahahahaha.
Fans laughed.
Chen Fei chatted with the fans for a while before saying, "Everyone, please wait patiently next. I will walk from here to there, and then walk from there to here, take photos with you one by one, take souvenirs, and answer your questions. But this time is a bit long. Everyone should be patient and don't be anxious. You must listen to the security guard, okay?"
"good--"
Fans answered in a uniform manner.
Chen Fei handed the microphone to the staff, and then, under Xu Yun's guidance, came to the far left of the team first.
"Brother Fei, I love you--"
Seeing Chen Fei walking towards them, the fans there screamed in excitement.
Chen Fei first came to the first fan.
To his surprise, this fan turned out to be a foreign face, blonde, blue-eyed, with a few small freckles on his face, and he looked very cute.
"Brother Fei, I love you!" the fan said in somewhat crappy Chinese.
"Thank you!" Chen Fei replied with a smile, and then signed her and asked, "What's your name? Are you studying in China?"
"My name is Anne, I am from the United States, I live in Bill Town, but I am not there anymore, I am studying at Nurell University!"
Chen Fei was shocked when he heard this, and quickly looked her up and down. Soon, he asked in surprise: "You are Jack's daughter, right? You don't look very much like Jack, you look more like your mother. Jack always tells me that he has a beautiful and cute daughter. I never believe it. I think it's impossible for him to have a beautiful daughter at all, but now I look, I'm wrong! Anne, is Jack okay? Does his leg still hurt?"
But Annie could no longer answer. She covered her mouth, burst into tears, and was so excited that she couldn't speak.
She never expected that Chen Fei would guess her identity, and remember her father, and more importantly, her father's illness.
After coming back to his senses, Annie choked and said, "My father's legs are already healed. Thank you for your medicine. He no longer hurts now. I came to China here. He repeatedly told me that if I see you, I must say thank you to you!"
"Don't be so polite. Go back and tell Jack that if you have time and come to China for a trip, I'll invite him to drink the best wine!"
"Thank you, Brother Fei!"
Chen Fei smiled and said, "You bring your phone with you? Why don't we record a video together and I will say a few words to Jack."
"Okay!" When Annie heard this, she was so excited that she started looking for her.
Soon, the two people headed to each other and looked at the camera together. Chen Fei said first: "Hi, Jack, I admit that I have to apologize to you. Your daughter is really beautiful and cute. I was wrong in my previous judgment..."
While Chen Fei and Annie were talking in front of the camera, a few fans were aiming their phones at them, and live broadcast excitedly:
"Dears, have you seen this? This foreign girl comes from the United States and comes here to attend the premiere of "The First Blood". Look at her excited look, how about it? Fei Ge Niu - huh? Have fans all developed to the United States?"
Another one also broadcast live: "Hello everyone, I'm at the premiere of "The First Blood". It's only 4 o'clock now, and the premiere will start at 7 o'clock in the evening. But Brother Fei has arrived at the scene because he wants to sign with us and take a photo with us. How about it, Brother Fei treats his fans very well? What are you waiting for? Support Brother Fei with me? "The First Blood" will be released on September 1st, and we will support him together!"
Because there were too many fans on the scene, Chen Fei signed until 7 o'clock in the evening, and then he finished signing the last fan.
Afterwards, he trotted all the way into the Great Hall of the People.
In the hall and on the stage, the lights are brightly lit at this time.
"Brother Fei, give it to me." Xu Yun handed over a microphone.
Chen Fei took the microphone and knocked it. He heard the sound of bang bang and then stopped. He looked around and the scene was already full of sitting.
"Dear journalists and movie fans, good evening, the interactive session of "The First Blood" has officially begun."
After a brief opening, the microphone was handed over to the hands of reporters and movie fans. A reporter stood up and asked, "Brother Fei, as far as I know, the movie "The First Drop of Blood" tells the story of a special forces soldier who retired from the Huaxia Dragon Group. I have a question, does the Huaxia Dragon Group really exist? Why did I find nothing when I checked the relevant information?"
Chen Fei is still very familiar with this reporter. He is a reporter from an entertainment media in the capital. He is unlikely to be a spy, but he has this question, because many people are confused.
Chen Fei smiled and replied, "I can't tell you much, but I can tell you only one thing. The Huaxia Dragon Group is real, because I have also gone to the special training. Many of the skills I showed in "The First Blood" were learned there. As for more things... Please understand the confidentiality regulations!"
Hohohohoho.
Everyone laughed.
The reporter scratched his head and couldn't help but laugh.
He also wanted to ask a second question, but the staff took the microphone away and no longer gave him a chance.
Soon, another media chief reporter asked: "Brother Fei, you should also know that since your "First Blood" was confirmed, the air combat film "King of the Sky" by the well-known American director Mei Long immediately confirmed the schedule. And according to rumors, they originally planned to be released on National Day, but after knowing your schedule, they immediately advanced the release date to September 1st. So, Brother Fei, are you confident in the box office competition between "First Blood" and "King of the Sky"?"
Chen Fei replied: "I can only tell you that I have confidence in myself, OK, next one!"
Soon a reporter asked: "Brother Fei, the domestic box office of "King of the Sky" is said to be initially estimated to be 2 billion yuan. So how much do you estimate your box office of "The First Blood" can reach?"
"Sorry, I didn't expect the box office of "The First Blood"." Chen Fei replied.
“No prediction?”
The reporters and fans on the scene were stunned when they heard this. Everyone didn't believe it. Chen Fei's habit was to have a prediction of the box office before the movie was released, and the amount was very huge, beyond the expectations of most people. Moreover, the final box office was higher than this number. He had been doing this before, how could he not estimate it this time?
"Brother Fei, you said you didn't expect the box office of "The First Blood". Is this true? Also, why don't you estimate it?"
"I really haven't estimated the box office of "The First Blood" because I don't care about the box office anymore, and I'm not interested in the box office anymore!"
What?
The reporters and movie fans on the scene were all stunned.
Don't care about the box office? Are you not interested in the box office?
You Mom, your mind is flooded. You are the director, you are an investor, okay?
You don't care about the box office, are you interested in the box office?
Who believes it?
Chapter completed!
