Chapter 764: The Premiere
Generally speaking, for promotional tours before a movie's release, most would choose well-known first-tier cities.
It's basically impossible for a second-tier city like Yunhai to be the first choice for a film crew.
But this time was an exception.
First of all, this movie was invested by Feifan Media, and the leading actress Wen Wan was a contracted artist of Feifan Media.
Almost everything about the entire film, from investment to script, was handled by Feifan Media.
Even if the film crew and director were fools, they should know that Yunhai must be among the top choices for the promotional tour.
For this premiere, Feifan Media directly spent money to book a large auditorium with nearly 1,000 seats in the Yunhai Grand Theater.
When Chen Fan drove with Gao Xiaoxi to the Grand Theater, the venue had already been surrounded by enthusiastic fans.
Fans were holding various light boards, some for Wen Wan, some for Jackie Chan, looking like a sea of people, very lively.
Chen Fan didn't need to queue, he directly took Gao Xiaoxi through the VIP entrance.
The publicity for this film had always been handled by Feifan Media. Chen Fan didn't want exposure, he just wanted to go in quietly to watch a movie.
Unfortunately, as soon as they entered the backstage, they ran into Wen Wan, who was about to enter.
Wen Wan was originally chatting with several leaders, when she suddenly caught sight of Chen Fan. She excitedly waved her hand and then walked over.
This woman was wearing a black off-shoulder evening gown, her long neck and beautiful collarbone exposed, fair and smooth, looking like a piece of glowing white jade.
This was the first time Chen Fan had seen Wen Wan in an evening gown, and it must be said that at this moment, Wen Wan truly displayed the elegance and nobility of a woman to the fullest.
"You're here," Wen Wan said with a smile on her face, greeting softly.
"Mm. Am I late?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.
"No. I just arrived too."
"I thought you wouldn't come back."
Chen Fan shrugged with a smile: "After all, it's the first movie invested by the company, I should come and see how the quality is."
Wen Wan smiled.
"I thought a big boss like you wouldn't care about a small movie."
"Nonsense, we've invested so much money, which boss wouldn't care?"
As the two chatted, Gao Xiaoxi standing behind was full of excitement.
It was her first time seeing a big star at such close range.
Moreover, she was a fan of Wen Wan, of course she was excited to see her idol.
But in addition to the excitement, Gao Xiaoxi felt something strange.
Because the way Wen Wan and her brother-in-law interacted was really odd.
Between the two, there was no sense of unfamiliarity at all, but rather they seemed to understand each other very well, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Wasn't he said to be a university teacher back then? How come brother-in-law is so familiar with her?" Gao Xiaoxi mumbled to herself.
Then Chen Fan smiled and said: "By the way, let me introduce someone to you."
"Gao Xiaoxi, my girlfriend's cousin, she's your crazy fan."
Gao Xiaoxi immediately stepped forward excitedly, "Miss Wen Wan, I... I'm your fan, can I take a picture with you?"
Wen Wan smiled: "Of course, no problem."
So Gao Xiaoxi quickly took out her phone and handed it to Chen Fan.
"Brother-in-law, can you take a picture of us?"
After saying that, she stood in front of Wen Wan and made a cute expression.
Chen Fan took a few photos for them, and Wen Wan asked with concern: "Your leg..."
"It's nothing. Just a fall."
After saying this, Gao Xiaoxi stepped back and hooked her arm with Chen Fan's.
"Brother-in-law, you took such good photos, I'm going to send them to my cousin when I get back."
The cousin, of course, was Su Ruochu, Chen Fan's girlfriend.
Hearing this, Wen Wan's expression became a bit unnatural.
Fortunately, soon other people came over to greet them.
Chen Fan wanted to take the opportunity to leave with Gao Xiaoxi, but unexpectedly, the other person spoke first, with a Hong Kong-Taiwan accent.
"Wen Wan, this is..."
Wen Wan looked at Chen Fan, and had to say: "Director Tang, let me introduce you."
"This is Mr. Chen Fan, the founder of Ruofan Group, and also my boss."
This Director Tang was naturally the Hong Kong director Stanley Tong. Upon hearing Wen Wan's introduction, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly extended both hands.
"Mr. Chen, oh my, so you are Mr. Chen, I've heard so much about you, but I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so... young."
Chen Fan had to reach out and shake hands with him.
"Hello."
"Oh my, Mr. Chen, I'm particularly grateful that you let me direct this movie. To be honest, the moment I saw the script, I had a feeling that I should be the one to shoot this movie. I really love this script."
Chen Fan smiled and said: "Our company also chose you because we recognized Director Tang's abilities."
"Thank you, thank you."
Chen Fan didn't want to stay here any longer, otherwise more and more people would come.
"Director Tang, I won't take up any more of your time then, I'll go in first. We can talk more after watching the movie."
Stanley Tong originally wanted to say something more, but hearing this, he could only nod.
"Alright, alright. We'll talk later."
Wen Wan kept watching Chen Fan until he entered the theater before she withdrew her gaze.
"Wen Wan, Jackie couldn't make it today due to some matters. Yunhai is your home turf, so we'll have to rely on you more for the promotion later," Stanley Tong was very polite to Wen Wan.
Wen Wan smiled: "Don't worry, Director. I'll do my best."
"That's good. It's almost time, let's go prepare."
Chen Fan and Gao Xiaoxi sat in the VIP seats in the front row. The movie hadn't started yet, and after entering, Chen Fan looked around boredly.
But he was immediately stunned.
In the row behind, Yan Qing, Xiao Si, Houzi... these young masters were all staring at him with silly smiles.
"Damn. How come you all came?"
Yan Qing laughed, "This is the first movie your company has made, of course we brothers have to come and support you."
"Hey, we thought you big boss wouldn't be interested in this kind of thing. If we had known, we would have called you and all come together."
Chen Fan was speechless, "Are you young masters always this free?"
Yan Qing showed an expression of a lonely master.
"Sigh, you're right. I've been so bored lately I'm almost growing mold."
Seeing the guys sizing up Gao Xiaoxi, Chen Fan knew what these people were thinking.
"This is my girlfriend's cousin, Gao Xiaoxi. She injured her leg, so I'm responsible for looking after her recently."
"Oh, so she's a cousin. Hello, hello. I'm Yan Qing, Chen Fan's good brother. If you have any troubles in the future, you can always come to me."
Gao Xiaoxi was a bit uncomfortable with this young master's enthusiasm, and just smiled awkwardly as she shook his hand.
Soon, the lights in the theater dimmed, and the movie began.
Yan Qing, sitting in the back row, patted Chen Fan.
"I heard you wrote the script for this movie?"
"Mm."
"You can do this too?"
"A little bit."
"Damn. Your way of showing off really reminds me of my younger self."
