This man knows how to hype

Chapter 329 Goodbye Lu Sansan

Early April.

It is already deep winter in the capital.

The tiny snowflakes floating in the sky add to the atmosphere of this season.

Under the snowflakes, a tall girl wearing a white woolen hat and a long down jacket of the same color is looking up at the sign of "Huaqing Cinema".

Her eyelashes are so long that they can catch the falling snowflakes.

Longer than her eyelashes are her hazy thoughts lost in memories.

"Thirty-three."

"Thirty-three?"

"Ah?" The girl came back to her senses and looked at her female companion next to her who had baby fat on her face.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up, the preview is about to start." The female companion pulled her into the building without saying a word.

The girl's name is Lu Jiu, and everyone around her calls her San San.

As introduced before, she is Xu Xiyu's third girlfriend and the only ex-girlfriend with whom he had no substantial relationship.

They are going to attend the preview of "The Annual Party Can't Stop".

Speaking of the premiere ceremony, it actually originated from the "premiere ceremony" for movie promotion. The purpose of this kind of event is to promote the movie and create some topics.

Therefore, not every movie will do this. Moreover, even if there is a preview, the content of the organization is different for different movies.

Just like the preview of "The Annual Party Can't Stop" this time, it was a big event with not only a signature wall and a photo-taking area.

Gift bags were prepared for all the invited audiences, including many peripheral items of "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" and Xu Xiyu's autographed records.

The peripheral products include T-shirts, autographed posters of the main creators, autographed cards, refrigerator magnets and badges, which can be said to be very rich.

The rarest of these should be Xu Xiyu's autographed records, which are very rare on the market because he never held a book signing event.

It’s not that I’m too lazy to do it, but my identity changes too quickly and I don’t have time to do it.

Even the physical album was made for him by people from Huaqing Music after he became the chairman of Huaqing.

A bunch of artists, internet celebrities and nearly a hundred ordinary audiences were invited to this preview ceremony.

The reason why Lu Jiu and her companions appeared here was actually a coincidence. Their tickets were given by Yu Yuyu.

Yes, Lu Jiu and Yu Yuyu knew each other, but they were not the kind of friends who had known each other for a long time as one might imagine. The two had only known each other for less than two months.

The reason for their acquaintance was a combination of various coincidences, which cannot be explained in a few words.

Then, not long after, Yu Yuyu invested in the company where Lu Jiu worked, which was the game company she had talked about with Xu Xiyu in the office before.

The company is called [Parallel Chongcai] and is developing a stand-alone RPG game based on Journey to the West, called "The Sequel to Journey to the West".

Lu Jiu's brother Lu Yan is the chief artist of Parallel Chongcai, and she herself is also a member of the company's art team.

Anyway, Yu Yuyu and Lu Jiu became friends since then, and he even gave her two tickets for the preview.

This made Lu Jiu's companion Yu Sihan scream with excitement, while she herself was often in a trance.

Speaking of which, it has been nearly five years since I broke up with Xu Xiyu. Although we haven't seen each other again during this period, we occasionally contacted each other in the first two years and asked about each other's recent situation.

After all, the two broke up not because of a quarrel, but because she went abroad.

A year ago, when Xu Xiyu became the chairman of Huaqing, she returned to China and it can be said that she just witnessed Xu Xiyu's takeoff.

The impact this had on her was truly too great.

Who would have thought that the boy who was young, handsome but also a little inferior, would get jealous when I talked about other boys, and then brag in front of me that he was much better than others, would develop to where he is today.

This made Lu Jiu always feel unreal.

She could never regard the Xu Xiyu mentioned by the public and the Xu Xiyu she knew as the same person, and the two could never be equated.

With this mentality, she couldn't help but look around as soon as she entered the theater. Soon, she saw a human-shaped stand placed in a prominent position in the theater.

The person on the sign was naturally Xu Xiyu, and in the middle of the sign was written "Welcome to Huaqing Cinema". Similar signs were placed in all the theaters of Huaqing Cinema Line.

When Lu Jiu saw this sign, his sense of unreality became even stronger.

Just as he was about to step forward to take a closer look, Yu Sihan next to him moved faster. She stood next to Xu Xiyu's sign, posed and said, "San San, take a photo with me and Mr. Dan."

"There's one thing that has always puzzled me. Why do you call him Mr. Dan?" Lu Jiu asked puzzledly as he opened his cell phone.

"Actually, I don't know why. Hey, what did you call him in school before?" Yu Sihan asked curiously.

That’s right, everyone around them knows that Lu Jiu and Xu Xiyu used to be in the same school. After all, this is public information.

But apart from some former classmates, no one knew that she and Xu Xiyu had been in a relationship, not even her brother.

Therefore, after hearing this question, Lu Jiu said while taking pictures: "We used to call him by his name. Oh, by the way, some people also call him Acao."

"Acao? Why?" Yu Sihan was a little confused.

"When he first entered the school, we in the art department all said he was the most handsome boy in the department. Then, as time went by, he became Acao." Lu Jiu couldn't help laughing as he said this.

After having fun and taking pictures, she handed the phone to Yu Sihan to look through, and she stood in front of Xu Xiyu's stand and started looking at it.

As I was watching, I heard Yu Sihan's voice: "Do you want to take a picture?"

Lu Jiu was startled when he heard this, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need."

"Yes, old classmate. It is indeed a bit awkward to take a photo with the sign."

"That's not the reason." Lu Jiu shook her head, and then looked up at the sign. But the more she looked at it, the weirder it felt. They looked the same, so why did they look like two different people?

However, she quickly shook off some strange thoughts and said hello in her heart: Long time no see.

More than ten minutes later.

After taking a round of photos, the two entered the screening room. There were not many people in the room at that time, and everyone was taking selfies with the gift bags they had just received.

Yu Sihan was looking through the gifts she had just received and asked, "Do you think that when the movie has this preview, will they invite celebrities to attend?"

"I think so. When I watched previews of other movies online before, didn't they always show some celebrities' reactions to the movies?" Lu Jiu was rummaging through the gift bag while talking.

"So, we should be able to see a lot of stars today?" Yu Sihan said excitedly.

Lu Jiu did not respond when she heard this, because her attention was completely attracted by Xu Xiyu's autographed album in her hand.

Seeing this, Yu Sihan next to him said happily: "Hey, let's interview an old classmate. He suddenly became a big star, and he also got his autographed album. How does it feel?"

"How can I describe this? I can't say it. I really can't say it."

“Does it feel unreal?”

"Kind of."

"Hey, I mean, you guys really don't have any group photos, not even a big group photo."

"Oh, I've said it many times, really not." Lu Jiu lied. How could they not have photos together when they were in love, but she didn't want to spread this.

"Then when it's over, do you want to go up and say hello to him?" "Forget it, he may not remember me." Lu Jiu refused without thinking.

Just when Yu Sihan was about to persuade them again, he saw a large group of people coming into the theater.

At this moment, she changed the subject directly: "Wow, there are so many internet celebrities, all familiar faces, this trip is worth it, I want to go stamp collecting, do you want to go?"

"I'm not going." Lu Jiu didn't have much feeling towards internet celebrities.

Seeing that she was not going, Yu Sihan stopped asking and was about to walk out with her phone in hand, but before she could move, a few more people came in at the entrance of the theater. These people were serious and well-known artists.

Therefore, as soon as they came in, cheers immediately broke out inside the theater.

And those internet celebrities who had just come in and hadn't sat down yet, all stood up and came forward to greet everyone.

Seeing this, Yu Sihan knew that his idea of ​​stamp collecting would not be completed, so he could only stand there and take pictures with his mobile phone.

While taking photos, he said, "Boss Dan is so generous. These are all artists from other companies. How can they come to show their support?"

"is it?"

"Yes, they should all be about light and shadow. It's really not easy for him to come and show his support. It shows that Mr. Dan has established a firm foothold in the circle." Yu Sihan pays more attention to the entertainment industry and knows all about these things.

Just as the two were chatting, more celebrity artists came in and cheers broke out one after another.

Even Lu Jiu couldn't help but take out his phone to record it.

Yu Sihan, who was standing next to him, saw twenty or thirty artists coming.

He sighed again, "Fuck, seriously, Mr. Dan is really famous. The number of guests here is almost as big as a small evening party. The boss of an ordinary company can't do this."

Listening to Yu Sihan's repeated muttering, Lu Jiu, who was holding the phone, felt that sense of unreality rising again and getting stronger and stronger.

Is this really the Xu Xiyu I know?

Is it the same name?

Here, she was thinking about Xu Xiyu in her mind, and Yu Sihan next to her happened to mention Xu Xiyu: "Hey, what was Xu Xiyu like in school before?"

"How should I put it?" Lu Jiu really didn't know how to describe it. "The appearance hasn't changed much, but other aspects are definitely completely different from now. The changes are quite big."

"Tell me specifically, what has changed... Damn, Liu Weichi? The king is here too?" A scream came out of Liu Sihan's mouth.

However, her scream was not abrupt.

Because when Liu Wei Chi walked in from the door, the theater was filled with screams. Not only that, the artists and internet celebrities present also stood up to greet him as a sign of respect.

As for Lu Jiu, he felt like he was dreaming at this moment.

The scene of lying on the lawn of Lover's Hill in school with Xu Xiyu at night, watching Liu Weichi's classic old movies on the mobile phone, rushed directly into my mind.

Fantasy.

It's too illusory.

Liu Wei Chi is here to show his support?

How is he connected with Xu Xiyu?

The person on the screen came back to life?

"San San, the lineup is so strong. It's really worth coming here today!" Yu Sihan couldn't stop getting excited.

Some even started to say some inappropriate things: "Look, the king is still the king, and those popular artists have to stand up."

But Lu Jiu also agreed with this ridiculous statement. This was the treatment that a superstar deserved.

Thinking of this, she was about to speak, but saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appear in front of her at the entrance of the cinema.

Immediately afterwards, a cheer that was no less loud than the one Liu Weichi had just heard when he entered the door rang out again.

Not only that, the artists who had just stood up to welcome Liu Wei Chi, now not just stood up, but left their seats directly, lined up and went forward to shake hands and chat with Xu Xiyu.

In fact, the first person to step forward was Liu Weichi himself.

This scene made Lu Jiu inexplicably stunned.

It is said that anything you see on the Internet is ultimately separated by a screen.

The scene happening in front of her at this moment made her suddenly realize what Xu Xiyu's current identity and status were.

As an ex-girlfriend.

As an old acquaintance.

She had a sense of surprise and shock that no one else could understand.

Just by releasing a movie, can so many people come to support it?

It turned out that he was not bragging, he was really much better than those outstanding boys in his eyes before.

But then again, the way he used to brag was quite funny and cute.

While Lu Jiu was daydreaming, she felt her shoulders being shaken crazily. Yu Sihan shook her and said excitedly, "Wow, so handsome. Isn't he too handsome? Why didn't you think of taking a photo with him before?"

Hearing this, Lu Jiu had mixed feelings and really didn't know what to say.

She didn't say anything, but Yu Sihan couldn't stop talking: "San San, can we go up and take a photo with him later? You are classmates, and you also know Mr. Yu, so it shouldn't be a problem to take a photo with him, right?"

Lu Jiu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Five years is enough time to forget many people and things.

Xu Xiyu might not remember me, and might not be willing to deal with me again. After all, there was the example of Lan Shuyun.

Thinking of this, she sat down directly.

She is not a self-pitying person.

However, some of the things that happened before her did shock her.

At this time, Xu Xiyu had already quickly greeted the guests.

After saying hello, he looked at the cheering audience in the back row and waved to say hello.

But as his eyes wandered, he soon spotted Lu Jiu in the audience.

As soon as he saw her, Xu Xiyu felt inexplicably happy. It was the kind of joy that comes from meeting an old friend after becoming rich, just like returning home in glory.

In an instant, an idea flashed in his mind. He retracted his left hand, stretched out two fingers and tapped the side of his forehead. Then he waved it forward, made a gesture similar to a salute, and raised his eyebrows at Lu Jiu.

This action made Lu Jiu feel as if he had been electrocuted all over his body, and he got goose bumps all over his body.

In college, Xu Xiyu often used this gesture to greet people.

So, he was saying hi to me?
