Chapter 476: Drunk
In the huge venue, the lights are bright, with a stage in front and a seating area in the middle. The seating area is divided into two halves, with walking aisles in the middle and both sides, and there are also some photography equipment in front. Now the seating area is full of people, some are playing with their mobile phones, some are waving the equipment in their hands, and more are whispering with the people around them, whispering in a row.
“…I don’t know either.”
"It's so weird. I've never heard of them being so good at making a difference in other places?"
"It's hard to say, even if they have passed by like this in other places, can I know? Even if everyone complains in private, they will only spread in those cities and cannot be spread here."
"You said this a little bit more..."
...
This is the second floor banquet hall of Four Seasons Hotel in Xuhui District, Shanghai. The banquet hall, which can accommodate up to 950 when decorated in a theater style, was rented by "Trumen's World" as a promotional roadshow venue. Now the people sitting in the venue are all invited media friends.
It is June 23, on Saturday afternoon, and the national promotional roadshow of "Truman's World" has been in progress for half a month. The reason why I came to Shanghai for a promotional roadshow at this time is because "Truman's World" will be released simultaneously on June 30. It was not until a week before the release that I came to Shanghai, a large ticket store, for a promotional roadshow because this can make the city's expectations for the film reach the highest excitement point, and the release of the movie can be maximized.
However, the invitation letter was agreed to start at 2 o'clock, but now it is already 2:30. The creators have not yet taken the stage, and they have not even seen the shadow of Du An and Zhou Xingchi. Only two hosts come up to apologize from time to time. This is why the media friends in the venue whisper to each other constantly. Moreover, everyone's voices are getting louder and louder under the influence of each other, making the scene look like a vegetable market.
In fact, these media friends are already very restrained and give Du An and Zhou Xingchi a good face. If another small crew came and dared to show off like this, they would have left. Then the next day, the crew would be waiting for everyone to get rid of the situation.
Just as the venue was getting noisy and it was really going to turn into a vegetable market. Someone even stood up and didn't know if he was about to slap his butt and leave, the two hosts went on stage again, but this time they didn't say nonsense like "I'm very sorry, please wait patiently."
The media friends in the venue saw the male host's faces filled with bright smiles when he came up, which was completely different from the increasingly awkward smiles when he came up to warm up the venue several times. This time he looked sincere.
Come?
The next two hosts said a little while to lay the groundwork and said directly: "Sorry for everyone to wait for a long time, so next we will invite the main creators of the crew to come to the stage to meet everyone!" Then we saw people coming from the backstage and coming to the stage one after another. Under the arrangement of the host, they stood in their respective positions. Two of them were familiar faces, namely Du An and Zhou Xingchi. Although the other people were very strange, they appeared in previous roadshows and barely became familiar with each other. Many media friends who had done their homework on the spot could recognize them. For example, the girl who looked very pure and beautiful, who was named Song Zhen, who was the heroine of this movie.
According to the process, the crew members went on stage together and everyone went downstairs after seeing the bottom. They sat in the front row and invited them to come one by one after another in the specific process. There was no explosive point in this link, but the media who had seen the crew finally arrived suddenly burst out with a buzzing sound, as if a plane was passing by the low altitude in the venue.
"I read that right?"
"What's wrong with him?"
"I'm late and I'm in a hurry to go on stage, and I haven't even put on my makeup?"
"Why do I look like I'm drunk?"
"I definitely drank too much! He clearly staggered when he came down just now. If the little girl named Song Zhen hadn't helped him, he would have fallen!"
"Is this too exaggerated? He was drinking too much at noon?"
"Will he drink too much if there is a roadshow in the afternoon?"
"What are you doing?"
...
The promotional roadshow of "Trumen's World" did not have any surprising tricks, just the same set of normal crew members. They came to talk about the heart of the filming, the materials during the shooting of the movie, the materials during the shooting of the explosive point, and the small games. In this process, the commotion in the venue gradually subsided, until the process finally came to Du An on stage, and the riots began to silence.
These media friends read it right just now. Du An was indeed blushing, his steps were a little unstable, his eyes were sloppy, and he looked like he was slightly drunk.
"I look so drunk!"
"Isn't it so outrageous? I'm drinking so much when there's a roadshow in the afternoon."
"It's the first time I've seen this like this. It's such a big score."
"It's so inflated... It seems like I haven't heard of him like this before?"
"Haha, who made him the most popular now? How can he do whatever he wants?"
"Do you want to write it out?"
"Don't be anxious first, don't be busy when the show is over. Let's see the situation first. In addition to normal, you should also have more ideas. If not... Haha, I'm sorry. We must always be realistic when we report."
...
Duan blinked his eyes hard, looked at the audience, trying hard to open it.
He stood on the stage, trying to keep his body straight, but his sense of balance was unbalanced, and he tilted slightly to the left, just like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The person is straight, but it is not vertical to the ground.
The voice of the male host came from his ears.
"A member just broke the news that Director Du brought everyone in the crew to do private work for you. Can you tell me in detail what happened?"
Du An grinned, looking very proud, but this smile looked a little stupid, and he was a little confused at first glance.
"Can……"
Before a word was finished, everyone at the scene heard a loud "hiccup" sound burst out from his mouth and passed through the speakers placed in every corner in the venue to everyone's ears. Many people holding the camera saw from the camera that the male host leaning against Duan next to Duan subconsciously frowned after Duan's "hiccup" sound, his nose moved, and his head slightly tilted, as if he wanted to stay away from Duan, but immediately remembered his responsibilities, quickly straightened his head and returned to a professional smile.
Just through the camera, you can see the smell of wine contained in this hiccup.
After burping, Du An did not feel embarrassed or apologized, but instead smiled, looking a little dumb.
"... It was when the filming ended that I proposed to my girlfriend, and everyone knew that I was still live!... Yes, I also live... Where did I say? Oh, yes, I live, everyone knows..."
Duane's speech was quite clear in his speech, but he was a little blurred on some syllables and didn't sound like a drunk person, but he couldn't tell clearly in his words. After talking for a long time, he often said one sentence several times. When a discerning person saw that he was drunk.
In addition to media friends, some local fan clubs from Du An and Zhou Xingchi Shanghai were invited to the roadshow. On the one hand, they were giving benefits and on the other hand, they were making up for the scene. Now these groups can’t sit still, and many people whispered below.
"Why did he drink so much?"
"Really, I know there was a roadshow in the afternoon and I still drank so much, but fortunately Stephen Chow didn't drink too much, so it wouldn't be embarrassing."
"I had a good impression of this person before. I thought Stephen Chow and him were a strong alliance. Now I see why it is so unreliable?"
"Why did the boss drink so much?"
"Oh no, so many media have seen it on the scene and are still filming..."
"It's useless to think too much, the crew should be able to handle this."
"I hope I won't report it... Qiangzi, why don't you contact us to buy more gifts? When the show ends, we will post it to these media. If you are ruthless, they will always feel embarrassed to write something."
"Sister Mei, I think you're really thinking too much. These media can't be handled by just a few ordinary people who can raise this little money."
...
Zhou Xingchi, who was sitting in the first row, had no expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking. Song Zhen next to him looked at the stage, calm, but his brows frowned, with worry in his eyes. The crew members who had passed by also had different expressions. After passing, the expressions of the people behind him were even more changeable, watching the fun, watching coldly, complaining, and anxious...
Everyone in the venue was full of postures, and Du An could see it through his "drunk eyes".
He, a "drunk man", may be the most sober person in the audience.
