My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1353 The Stone Screening Part 2

"Director Li, with the pre-sale box office of 'Crazy Stone' exceeding 300 million yuan, what would you most like to say to the audience?!"

The host asked with a smile.

Thank you everyone.

Dressed casually, Director Li clasped his hands together in a gesture of gratitude, then smiled and said, "I believe 'Crazy Stone' won't disappoint everyone."

"This is your second collaboration with Mr. Shen Jiaming after 'Goodbye Mr. Loser.' Will you collaborate again in the future?"

The host continued to ask.

"It will definitely happen."

Director Li's smile remained unchanged.

Not only were people in the industry stunned by the pre-sale box office of "Crazy Stone," but even the director himself was taken aback. Such a result is definitely a milestone success in his directing career.

The film "Goodbye Mr. Loser" propelled him into the ranks of commercial film directors, and now "Crazy Stone" has taken his directing career to a new level.

The key is that he took this step... even he himself knows that the possibility of breaking through it in the future is extremely slim. As for why the pre-sale box office of "Crazy Stone" is so high, he has heard about the company's internal analysis yesterday. It seems that there have been no outstanding comedy films in recent years. Last year, only "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was not bad.

With many people facing immense pressure in their lives, comedy has become a way for many to relieve stress. Meanwhile, the film and television industry is currently experiencing a downturn, which presents a good opportunity for certain films.

It's just like the stock market.

The colder the market gets, the more opportunities it presents for some people to buy in.

On the contrary, the most attention is needed when the market is at its hottest.

"Director Li, as a director, you think that both 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' and 'Crazy Stone' are comedies made after Zhang You, which one do you personally think is of higher quality?"

It's time for reporters to ask questions.

One reporter asked directly.

"That's for the audience to judge."

Director Li replied with a smile, "Personally... I think these two themes are different, so there's no point in comparing them. 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' is a rebirth comedy. Its success mainly stems from its relatable storyline, secondly from its character development, and thirdly from its excellent narrative technique. As for 'Crazy Stone,' to be honest, when I finished reading the script, I was instantly drawn in by the plot. The film uses a multi-narrative structure that intertwines in the end, creating a kind of dark humor. You'll understand once you watch it. But the only thing to note is that you shouldn't watch this movie while drinking beverages, because you might spit out your drink and it wouldn't be good if it hit the audience in front of you."

"Mr. Jin Kai, as an award-winning actor, 'Crazy Stone' should be considered your first comedy film. Do you think it's different from your previous movies?"

One of the female reporters focused her attention on Kincaid.

"I'm acting like it's part of the main film."

Jin Kai laughed and said, "And it's not just me acting in this as a serious film; I saw Shen Jiaming acting in it as a serious film as well. When I first got the role, I even asked Mr. Shen for advice, and he told me... what comedy? This is a proper drama film."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone present laughed, including Shen Jiaming.

at this time.

Suddenly a commotion arose, and the reporters present immediately erupted in excitement. Director Li and several main actors on stage turned to look, and then they saw Chairman Lin, wearing jeans and a beige down jacket, walking over with a smile.

Director Li was unaware that his boss would be coming. The appearance of Chairman Lin caught him somewhat off guard, but he still shook hands with Chairman Lin. After Chairman Lin greeted the others, the reporters below the stage all focused on the current head of Tianyu Entertainment.

Noticing that Director Li was going to give her the center position, Lin Bao'er immediately pulled him to stand in the middle, while she stood next to Director Li.

He took the microphone from the host.

Ignoring the questions from reporters below the stage, Lin Bao'er smiled and said, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, I wish everyone a Happy New Year."

"Chairman Lin, as the boss of Tianyu Entertainment, you have rarely appeared in the public eye. Why did you suddenly come out this time? Is it because the pre-sale box office of 'Crazy Stone' is very good?" a reporter asked.

"Yup!"

Lin Bao'er didn't refute at all, but simply smiled and nodded.

This time.

Many reporters in the audience were taken aback.

Probably no one expected the current owner of EE-Media to be so direct. One female reporter, however, smiled and said, "Chairman Lin, you're so cute!"

"Capitalists are not lovable."

Lin Bao'er chuckled and replied, "If you think it's cute... then you'd better watch out, I might be trying to make money off you."

Backstage.

Wearing a long down jacket and a knitted hat, holding a cup of milk tea, Lin Kaiqi rolled her eyes. She was annoyed to death by her older sister. They had agreed to go to the movies together, but instead, her sister brought her to the premiere of "Crazy Stone".

If only that was it.

What annoyed her most was that her older sister made her carry her milk tea, treating her like a servant. However, her sister's appearance seemed to have derailed the premiere of "Crazy Stone".

A reporter in the audience asked about Lam Po-yee's marriage.

"We haven't considered those yet."

Lin Bao'er replied with a smile.

She came mainly to promote "Crazy Stone" and generate some buzz. In fact, with such a high budget and box office, there was absolutely no need for her to appear.

But even though Zhang Xiaoyou wasn't coming, she still chose to come for some reason.

Someone has to show up!
Anyway, she was going out in the morning, and she was taking her younger sister to see "Crazy Stone". She had already seen the finished film at the company's screening room, but her sister had not. In particular, Lin Bao'er planned to come to the cinema herself to see the audience's reaction to the movie and decide whether to continue to expand the promotion.

The film has already spent nearly 40 million yuan on promotion.

It's almost half of the production cost, but that's how the film and television industry is. No matter how high the quality is, the publicity has to keep up. But the publicity effect was surprisingly good.

"So you have a boyfriend?"

A reporter pressed for an answer.

We won't discuss this issue today.

Lin Bao'er directly refused to answer the question.

If Zhang Xiaoyou gets divorced, she wouldn't mind announcing it directly, which would indirectly put pressure on him, but this guy and Jiang Yiren have a very good relationship.

Aside from being a little angry, Lin Bao'er was...

She also admired this guy's mentality... It was because of him that Lin Bao'er knew that men were indeed more composed than women in certain aspects. Because she often hung out with this guy, Lin Bao'er felt ashamed and flustered when she saw Jiang Yiren, but this guy was fine, acting as if nothing had happened.

He saw her appear in front of Jiang Yiren right in front of him.

This guy didn't even flinch, his expression didn't change at all.

They acted like they were all friends, so when Lin Bao'er occasionally thought about it, she seriously suspected that Zhang Xiaoyou might be a veteran player.
