The news on Weibo is getting more and more intense.
Huazhou Pictures' movies are still trending on social media, sometimes dropping a few spots, sometimes rising again.
In addition, the singing event after the preview screening has also become a topic of discussion, constantly competing with the topics of Huazhou Film Studio.
The fact that Xu Fan, Xiao Zihan, and Andy Lau joined hands to hold a singing event was expected to trend on social media.
But for some reason, news about the movie "Lost and Found" seems to be subconsciously ignored. The most discussed topics are what songs Xu Fan and his friends sing.
But very few people talked about the movie. The occasional message was usually from someone lamenting that they couldn't get tickets and asking if anyone had a couple so they could go to a singing event.
Over the next few days, Xu Fan was indeed quite busy, with various matters keeping him occupied every day.
For some reason, Grandpa Zhou said he wanted to go back to his hometown.
Therefore, Xu Fan was entrusted with Shui'er's commuting to and from school.
But after Xu Fan offered to give her a ride once, Shui'er politely declined his offer, saying in her own words, "Big brother, I'm worried you'll get heatstroke. I can manage on my own."
Indeed, Xu Fan was wearing a mask and hat, and it was quite hot in early autumn.
Seeing how understanding Shui'er was, Xu Fan had no choice but to agree.
For some reason, she felt that Shui'er's words had another meaning, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
In addition, Xu Fan went to the recording studio of the Explosion Band to record all of their recent songs and release all of them that could be released.
Yang Jiaci and the others were almost ready.
Xu Fan plans to bring them along for this singing event, giving them an opportunity to be recognized by more people.
Often, some people just lack a few opportunities.
Yang Jiaci has great potential in every aspect, and everyone in his band is truly passionate about music.
In the past few days, Zhao Feiyang has sent Xu Fan many invitations for commercial performances and concerts.
Of course, Xu Fan refused them all.
In addition, Liao Fanxing and Xu Fan had a brief meeting to discuss the film's release.
After all, Xu Fan had confidently predicted that the movie would be a box office hit, but the feedback he received was disappointing.
Several days passed by leisurely.
When you're busy, time seems to fly by.
Xu Fan had this feeling, and it was a very deep one.
Before we knew it, September 23rd arrived.
At 2 PM, the time for the preview screenings of the movie "Lost and Found" began at dozens of cinemas, everyone was already ready.
The entire internet is paying attention, from casual observers to industry elites.
Everyone wanted to know whether Xu Fan, this rising superstar in the music scene, would continue his legendary career in the film and television industry, or suddenly kick the bucket.
The reality is cruel; most people are waiting to see Xu Fan make a fool of himself.
Why would a singer go and make movies instead of focusing on singing?
Moreover, Xu Fan is a newcomer to the music scene. If you are already a superstar in the music scene, then it seems that your crossover is also acceptable.
But you've only just established yourself in the music industry, and you already want to jump over into other fields? Isn't that a joke?
Most people don't believe Xu Fan can make a good movie.
Even if all the tickets for the preview screenings sell out within thirty minutes, no one will think Xu Fan will win this box office war.
The reason those movie tickets were snapped up was entirely due to the accompanying singing activities, which had nothing to do with the movie itself.
If they were to separate the projects, they believed that they might not even be able to sell half of the tickets.
For example, Liu Yuanzhou directly expressed his disdain on Weibo.
"A self-important new singer, still searching for direction on his journey, has already abandoned his strengths and plunged into the pit of filmmaking. I'm really looking forward to seeing what 'surprise' Xu Fan can bring us. I wish Huazhou Pictures' film 'Lost' a phenomenal pre-sale performance."
Liu Yuanzhou's Weibo post was simple and straightforward. He used the simplest way to provoke Xu Fan, said some sarcastic things, and took the opportunity to praise Huazhou Pictures.
Xu Fan completely ignored this message without understanding why.
When facing Liu Yuanzhou, Zhao Feiyang said, "In this situation, it's like a dog biting you; there's absolutely no need to bite back."
Xu Fan felt that this made perfect sense. In addition, a special actor also posted a Weibo post.
Although the disturbance was minor, it still sparked a lot of discussion among netizens.
Gan Wen, a supporting character who dreams of becoming the female lead, embarks on a unique and arrogant journey in her acting career.
She proudly told Xu Fan and Andy Lau that she was meant to play the leading lady, not a supporting role, which is why her Weibo posts were so sharp.
"I participated in the filming of 'Lost and Love,' but I couldn't even finish reading the script, which is why I refused to act in it. As far as I know, it was because of my refusal that Fanxing Pictures cobbled together a troupe of actors, and how many people actually watched the movie? Apart from Andy Lau being a major star, it seems like everyone else was just playing minor roles."
I'm not questioning Starlight Pictures; I'm just stating a fact. Those who know me know that I had a period scheduled to participate in the filming of the movie "Lost and Found," but after reading the script, I couldn't bear to look at it. And now they're using singing to tie into movie tickets to boost box office—it's utterly outrageous!
Gan Wen's Weibo posts were incredibly sharp. When Xu Fan saw them, he shook his head helplessly. She still didn't say anything, or even pay any attention to them.
Because she knew that someone else would do it.
Although Liu Yuanzhou's Weibo posts were somewhat infuriating, at least they were mild and contained only simple sarcasm.
However, Gan Wen's Weibo posts are full of disdain and arrogance, with some of her words reaching a level that no one can tolerate.
Just as the preview screening was about to begin, Gan Wen's Weibo post was like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, spreading out with a loud bang.
The internet erupted instantly, and Liao Fanxing immediately contacted the other party's agency and issued a strong condemnation.
Subsequently, Andy Lau's management company also issued a warning letter, expressing anger at some of the issues raised by Gan Wen.
A minute later, Gan Wen deleted the Weibo post, as if she had never appeared at all.
Andy Lau was in a hotel in Shanghai, looking at the news on Weibo with eyes full of anger.
This is truly rare to see in Andy Lau. After flipping through a few more pages, he suddenly said, "I really don't like this woman, and I can't see her in my circle anymore."
This statement is simple and straightforward: she has no right to blacklist a woman, but her circle doesn't want to see such a woman. It seems that simple.
The agent agreed and treated this matter as a very important task.
Liao Fanxing was not idle at all. Even though Gan Wen had deleted her Weibo posts, his legal team had already prepared a simple complaint and submitted it to the court as quickly as possible.
Subsequently, the legal team began to continuously organize the materials and information, but of course, these were all matters for later.
Seeing that things seemed a bit quieter online, Xu Fan stopped looking at the internet, said goodbye to his mother, and left home.
After making a phone call to Zhao Feiyang, the two drove to the Keda Cinema.
The day after Zhao Feiyang returned, he went and drove the van back.
As their only means of transportation, they cannot be lost.
At the same time, Yu Mingzhi, chief director of Fanxing Pictures, along with the original creative team of the film "Lost and Found" and several actors, came to Keda Cinema.
The cinema manager was well-prepared, with everything from the stock of movie tickets and the cleanliness of the theaters to snacks, popcorn, and cola drinks all ready in advance.
We're just waiting for the preview screening to start at 2 PM.
The store manager was naturally aware of Yu Mingzhi's reputation as the chief director of Fanxing Pictures.
As soon as Yu Mingzhi arrived, the store manager took him to the office to rest for a while.
At the same time, we had the actors who accompanied us sign some promotional posters, which will be randomly distributed during the promotion later.
This is the most basic way to conduct advance screenings of a film.
All the stagehands at the movie theater were ready, dressed in brand-new work clothes, with their name tags and food safety certificates displayed.
With a broad smile on their face, they strive to provide the best possible service.
Therefore, it seems that the quality of the cinemas owned by Starry Night Pictures is quite good.
When Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang arrived, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
They both wore sunglasses and masks as they entered through the back door.
Their participation in the film today was pre-arranged with Liao Fanxing, to give the fans present a surprise.
After all, if Xu Fan were to appear at the preview screening, the scene would definitely be very exciting.
To this end, the store manager even hired some bodyguards, just in case something happened at the preview screening.
When Xu Fan arrived, the store manager greeted him in the office immediately.
However, as Xu Fan walked towards his office, he couldn't help but frown as he passed through the lobby and subconsciously glanced at the time.
There was only one hour left before the preview screening started, but there were only a handful of people, about a dozen, sitting in the lobby.
It's important to know that Keda Cinema doesn't just have one giant screen theater; it also has nine regular theaters.
Each theater has an average of 130 seats and is currently showing some of the most popular movies.
Normally, fewer people in the afternoon is not unusual.
Today is the preview screening of the movie "Lost and Love", and yesterday all 1,000 tickets for the IMAX theater were sold out.
With only an hour left before the appointed time, there were hardly any people in the lobby.
Xu Fan's heart clenched. Could it be that those fans were using the movie tickets as tickets for the concert?
Upon realizing this, Xu Fan knew that the matter was almost certainly true.
Yu Mingzhi noticed something was wrong and sat there scratching his head. When he saw Xu Fan arrive, he quickly stood up and said, "Director Xu, you're finally here. This is really strange. It's already past one o'clock, and there are only a dozen or so people here to watch the movie. This is a screening for a thousand people! This is really unusual. All the tickets were sold out before. Could someone have forgotten about it?"
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Forgetting is impossible, but not coming is possible."
Just then, a lively sound came from outside, and the fat man excitedly said, "They're here!"
Get the perfect music system at the start
===Chapter 191 Movie Subtitles===
The manager of Keda Cinema said that the popularity of the movies currently playing has been declining these past few days, and since it's noon, there are fewer people watching movies, so the lobby isn't crowded.
The key point is that all 1,000 tickets for the 2 PM showing of the movie "Lost and Found" were sold out.
Why is no one coming?
There's still an hour left. Does that mean everyone is waiting until the time is almost up before coming?
