Chapter 163(1/3)

In this era, any movie, even if it is run by a world-class director, is protected by the actor and actress, and if you want to get a high box office without spending a penny to promote it, it is equivalent to dreaming in the daytime.

The director of "The Law of Zero" is Lance Holt, and it also has Kremans Holt as the deputy director, which can be said to be strong. Moreover, among the two male protagonists in the movie, Rong Xu has been in an explosion in recent years and is very popular. Qin Cheng himself is the guarantee of the box office. In his more than ten years of debut, the worst movie has been more than 3 billion yuan. But that's all, it only allows "The Law of Zero" to get a higher starting line than other movies of the same period.

Starting from June, Krimans Holt has made big promotions around the world. He cooperated with top luxury brands to conduct 24/7 large-screen screenings in Times Square and spent a lot of money to market "The Law of Zero" online. With these public relations measures alone, "The Law of Zero" has become the focus of attention of movie fans every day.

Because of the kissing incident, "The Law of Zero" had to release the first trailer, but since then, Old Holt has been reluctant to release a little more news about the movie. However, this did not stump Kremans. The young director started to recommend the special effects technology of the movie to the world in a crazy way based on the film's post-production and special effects skills.

"Can the cross-age special stunts lead the cinema technology frenzy?"

"The pinnacle of the world's special effects level, a real super-production movie!"

There are countless reports like this, which makes movie fans unconsciously have some understanding: [The special effects technology of "The Law of Zero" must be very good, I am looking forward to it. Hollywood was originally good at making special effects, but it was not as good as China in terms of film humanities, but this time the protagonists are Qin Cheng and Rong Xu. Their acting skills and Hollywood special effects... When will this movie be released!!!]

The first step in publicity is to use movie special effects as marketing points. After Kremans confirmed that the fans had completely forgotten the kissing video, he started promoting the relationship between Rong Xu and Qin Cheng.

Since everyone has forgotten that video incident and the relationship between Rong Xu and Qin Cheng, the focus of this second wave of publicity is the fundamental relationship between the two male protagonists. The effect of this wave of publicity is far better than the previous wave. In the whole world, the attention of "The Law of Zero" has increased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even before the movie was released, many fan-oriented works appeared.

"The Law of Zero" has never posted a fixed makeup photo poster, and it also stingyly only gives a trailer video of just fifteen seconds (which also includes the beginning and the end), but that's enough.

[The last white dress in the trailer I was so monkey! I couldn't help but touch another picture today, but no matter how I looked, I thought I had to eat lotus root with the screenshots of Rongrong. So... When will the movie be released?]

[I have watched that trailer a hundred times and a hundred times. Will I say that I have watched that secretly filmed video more than ten times? Rong Rong and Qin Shen are so compatible. After watching the trailer, they will unconditionally convert CP fans. Please more sugar, please sweet and sweet, quickly use dog food to suffocate me!]

["Zero" has not been released yet, but in recent years, I, Rong and Qin Shen, have already released enough sugar. Today I just made up for the Golden Bear Awards Ceremony last year. When Qin Shen presented Rong Rong with the awards, I was so sweet.]

[Today's mission: "Black Clouds" eleventh is completed; "Brave Flowers" thirteenth is completed. Seek "The Law of Zero" in daily life!]

In this situation of national famine, Krimans whetted the appetite of movie fans and finally released stills from "The Law of Zero".

Similar to the character that every fan thinks, in these stills, there is a handsome and cold white-robed scientist and an innocent and beautiful little robot. Especially the last still, the two characters' completely different personalities are vividly displayed: Qin Cheng bent down and pressed Rong Xu on the bed, but at this moment, his expression was very cold, forming a sharp contrast with Rong Xu's clear and hazy eyes.

The ambiguous look in the stills made fans excited. In fact, these two people didn't need to speak, and they didn't even need to perform like in the stills. They were enough to make people scream in the same picture.

At the end of August, the "Law of Zero" will be scheduled and will be released on October 27, 2047.

As mentioned before, in order to maximize profits, today's directors often choose special days to release the movie. "Zhanhualuo" chose Rong Xu's birthday and was released on December 18. Now "The Law of Zero" has done the same thing, and specially arranged the premiere day on Qin Cheng's birthday, so that Qin Cheng's fame can be used to gain a wave of publicity.

Since the release date has been determined, the crew of "The Law of Zero" began their own global publicity journey since mid-September. In total, they participated in various programs, held meetings and previews in ten countries and twelve cities, successfully hyping up a wave of publicity.

It seemed as if it was the tranquility before the storm, from June to mid-October, the whole world was discussing "The Law of Zero" frantically, looking forward to the release of the movie. But on October 20, after the crew ended their last meeting in New York, fans seemed to no longer have unlimited expectations for this movie as they did in the past, and "The Law of Zero" rarely became a hot search globally again.

Rong Xu and Qin Cheng's fans are naturally very worried about this situation, fearing that the box office of their own male gods will plummet this time. However, of course they don't know that Krimans Holt, who is in charge of the film promotion, is very calm.

The experienced Hollywood director didn't take this situation seriously at all. He once said in private: "You have to give them some time to rest, otherwise when the movie is released, they will not have the energy to start a carnival."

Only Kremans Holt can say such arrogant words.

However, facts outweigh words.

As time approaches, it is finally the day when the premiere of "The Law of Zero".

This time, Old Holt did not choose to hold his premiere at any of the Grand Theater in Hollywood, but instead took the crew across the Pacific Ocean and came to China City B.

When night falls slowly, City B ushered in a rush hour once a day. The congested vehicles filled the highways, and the Grand Theater of City B outside the Third Ring Road was even more crowded.

Journalists from media and magazines around the world, film critics who flew to China from all over the world to participate in the premiere, 100 lucky audiences from China, and many invited peers in the industry, all gathered here.

Before the premiere of "The Law of Zero" began, the Grand Theater of City B was crowded with people. No one knew how high the box office this movie would have after it was released, whether it would receive a very high reputation or a very low low score. But at the scene of this premiere, a strange factor was already ready to move.

Gong Zijian is the ace reporter of "Huaxia Entertainment". Today, he was specially sent by the editor-in-chief to the premiere of "The Law of Zero" to grab the first-hand news. He is in his forties and has been engaged in the entertainment journalism industry for more than 20 years. He has participated in countless movie premieres, including niche movies with extremely low costs and commercial blockbusters with box offices of over 10 billion yuan, but he has never felt like this today.

It seems something is wrong, it seems that I always feel... something is going to happen.

Perhaps this is an intuition from professional experience, and Gong Zijian seemed to realize that this movie is probably not very simple.

The premiere of "The Law of Zero" is no different from other movies. The director and the starring are standing on the stage, communicating with reporters and fans, promoting the movie, and talking about the experience of shooting the movie and the connotation of the movie.

During the entire premiere, the reporters and audiences almost looked at Rong Xu and Qin Cheng. In the second half of the premiere, Old Holt deliberately said self-deprecatingly: "I know what you want, so you don't want to listen to me, the old man, talk about the creation process of the movie. You just want to see Rong and Qin do something."

There was neat applause in the audience.

Old Holt pretended to be angry and said, "You really don't want to listen to me, just want to see Rong and Qin Lai interact?"

Responding to Old Holt was a louder applause, and many fans even shouted the names of Rong Xu and Qin Cheng excitedly.

Faced with such a situation, everyone just thought that Old Holt was making fun of it and wanted to stir up the atmosphere of the premiere, but unexpectedly, this world-class director sighed heavily and said as if he gave in: "Then you can't do it? My Chinese is not very good. Why do you say that sentence... Oh yes, yes..." He turned to look at Rong Xu and Qin Cheng beside him and said: "That sentence means the scene is reproduced. Hey, Qin, Rong, in order to deal with these damn reporters who just want to dig out big news... Oh no, I mean, in order to bribe these lovely reporters and let them praise our movie when writing reports tomorrow, you can satisfy them. Let's perform a part here and act the scene that you have NG dozens of times."

When they heard this, all the audience was stunned, and the reporters did not understand what Old Holt meant.

Rong Xu smiled helplessly and said, "Lance, this is not great, that scene is..."

Old Holt asked back, "Is there anything wrong with that scene? Anyway, some damn villains have secretly filmed the video and put the content of that scene online. Let's review it now and perform a live paragraph, what's wrong with it."

As soon as the words finished, the audience was silent.

On the live broadcast website, the barrage suddenly stopped. After three seconds, netizens suddenly said that the screen was filled with the screen.

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[I stand on the street for Mrs. Lance Holt! Mrs. Holt is the biggest master in my circle. I will not accept any rebuttal. I would like to love us for ten thousand years!!!]

[Kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing! I don’t care, the director said that he wants to kiss, Rongrong and Qin Shen, you must kiss! Kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing!]

【I fell down, if you don’t kiss, I won’t get up!!】

In order to create gimmicks, many movies and TV series will let the protagonists hug or even kiss at the premiere conference.

For people in the entertainment industry, money is real, and for the sake of box office, what is it? Some directors with despicable methods will use the leading actor's scandal or even the former nude photos to promote before the movie is released.

After Old Holt's words fell, I don't know who initiated them first, and the audience began to shout the same slogan: "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

Perhaps this kind of expectation and excitement is too contagious. Even many media reporters and film critics started to join in the fun and laughed and asked the two male leads to perform the scene and kiss on the spot.

The huge sound wave almost overturned the roof of the Grand Theater in City B. With so many people cheering, Rong Xu looked at the cheating old Holt with a laugh and cry, but saw that the latter was looking at him with an innocent look. He said, "Lance, this is different from the script we agreed on. You told me before going on stage, we only play an ordinary role?"

Old Holt spread his hands: "Dear Rong, do you have the heart to disappoint so many viewers?"

Rong Xu turned around and looked at the audience, and heard the movie fans shouting in unison: "I can't bear it!"

The handsome eyebrows couldn't help but smile. Rong Xu originally wanted to say something else, but as soon as he spoke, his arm was suddenly pulled by someone. He looked up in surprise and saw that the man beside him had stood up at some point and reached out to pull him in front of him.

The shouts in the entire theater disappeared completely at this moment. In the attention of audiences all over the world, Qin Cheng raised his slender fingers and gently raised the young man's delicate chin. The deep and deep eyes were filled with emotions that were unseen, as if the entire universe was hiding the stars in it.

He looked at it seriously and solemnly, and Rong Xu's expression gradually calmed down.

In the silent theater, Qin Cheng's voice as if sighed slowly sounded: "Do you really know... what love is?"

The next moment, it was as if spring snow had just melted and spring flowers were in full bloom. The boy's bright eyes reflected clear light, his eyes were full of stars, and endless love could not be hidden at all, and it was completely revealed on the surface. Then, he opened his lips and said in a elegant but firm voice: "I love you."

The moment the last word fell, Qin Cheng leaned over and kissed the lips that were saying love to him.

A burst of exclamations immediately sounded at the scene, and various "ah ah ah" barrage were also displayed on the live video website. However, the two people photographed by the camera closed their eyes and kissed each other solemnly and devoutly. Qin Cheng's fingers were inserted into Rong Xu's soft hair and tightly clasped the back of his head. Rong Xu almost subconsciously put his arm around the other's waist and kissed him gently.

You can't kiss too deeply, you still have to restrain yourself, otherwise you may be deliberately written by a bad-hearted trail reporter.

Rong Xu and Qin Cheng only kissed for a few seconds before letting go of each other, but this was enough for the audience and there was also a gimmick for reporters to vigorously promote.

After the kiss, Old Holt asked a few more ambiguous questions, such as "You two were very smooth when they kissed just now, didn't they feel awkward?"

In response, Qin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked back: "Lance, didn't you threaten us to perform live?"

Rong Xu gave Old Holt more face and replied with a smile: "If the partner is Qin Cheng, there is no problem. But if you change to a male actor... I'm afraid I won't kiss you very much, it should be a bit awkward."

The host on the side asked quickly: "Rong Xu, why do you only feel that Qin is going well? I remember that at the launch conference of our "Law Zero", Director Holt once revealed that Qin Cheng also said the same thing, saying that he only acted in the same-sex movies with you, and it was impossible for him to make kiss scenes with other male actors. Is there any special reason for this...?"

This question attracted the attention of everyone on the scene and the live viewer, but Rong Xu smiled slightly and replied easily: "Is there a special reason? If you have to say yes, it is that I have kissed this guy many times when I was filming. To be honest, his lips are very soft and not as they look like they look. At first, they may feel something, but after kissing too much... I am bluntly, it is like drinking water, without any feeling."

Qin Cheng raised his hand calmly, and the host looked at him: "Does Qin Cheng want to say something?"

Qin Cheng picked up the microphone, looked at Rong Xu with a resentful look, and said in a low voice: "I am very hurt. I didn't expect Rong Xu to think kissing me is like drinking water, which is too unpretentious to me. But I really want to ask one thing, Rong Xu, are you thirsty now?"

As soon as this sentence was finished, everyone hadn't reacted yet. Only fans on the live broadcast website quickly understood what Qin Cheng meant. After a few seconds, Rong Xu suddenly turned red. He coughed twice and hit Qin Cheng's shoulder: "No thirsty! Not thirsty at all!"

Qin Cheng curled the corners of his lips without moving, "But I'm thirsty."

Rong Xu: "..."

The audience: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Global movie fans watching the live broadcast: [Let the dog food come more violently!!!]

The premiere came to an end in this ambiguous atmosphere of love. In the end, Old Holt also used Qin Cheng's birthday as a topic and asked the staff to push a cake. Qin Cheng closed his eyes and began to make a wish. After blowing the candle, Old Holt asked, "Qin, what wish did you make?"

Qin Cheng picked up the microphone and curled his thin lips: "Do you want to listen to the truth and lies?"

Old Holt was happy: "There are still truth and lies?"

The audience shouted loudly: "False, lies, lies, lies!"

Qin Cheng said calmly: "I wish the box office of "The Law of Zero" exceeded 10 billion."

Old Holt was furious: "Is this a lie?! Then what is your truth?"

The man slowly raised his eyes and looked at the boy next to him, and smiled softly, "I hope my dear friend Rong Xu is thirsty every day."

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough..." Rong Xu, who was obediently cutting the cake, almost choked to death by saliva this time.

At this point, the premiere ceremony is really over. All the main creators return to the backstage, and the audience and reporters can also take a break for fifteen minutes and wait for the premiere of the movie at midnight.

After leaving the stage, Rong Xu punched a man directly and refused to look at him angrily. Unexpectedly, a man followed shamelessly. One of them walked in front and the other behind. He quickly entered the lounge, and Qin Cheng locked the door.

After the door was locked with a click, Rong Xu was walking towards the water dispenser. As soon as he walked to the sofa, someone grabbed his wrist and pressed it on the sofa.

Not at all surprised, the beautiful boy looked at the man pressing on him provocatively and asked with a smile: "Mr. Qin, I am indeed thirsty now. Can you get out of me and let me have a good sip of water?"
