Chapter 1095 1195.
The film critic who sold tickets returned his rent the next day after the incident broke out, and he didn't even bother to argue with the landlord for the remaining half a month's rent. He just packed up and left.
He couldn't make it in the film critic circle anymore. No film company would use a guy like him who took the movie tickets given by the film company and sold them to passers-by.
Of course, the film critic didn't care. After all, the bank card with a million in his pocket was heavy enough to make him feel stable both physically and mentally.
He even thought about his plan after returning to his hometown. The houses there were cheap, so he could buy a store, and then use the remaining money plus years of savings to buy a small apartment. At that time, the store would be good for renting or doing a small business, and the small apartment would be kept for his own use.
Thinking that he would also be a man who would own two houses, the film critic felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, he felt happy, but many of his thoughts were MMP.
Because he sold a ticket for 1 million, the movie companies and the public now look at these film critics with a bit of a weird look.
Although they do sell the tickets they have at a high price to some idols' fans, or simply give them to some friends as a favor, this is all done privately. How can they be like that person, who actually dared to trade with Weibo netizens, and sold them for 1 million.
Now it's good, it has set off a network explosion, and also made many film critics cry.
The movie company obviously will not make wedding clothes for film critics again. Since the "million ticket selling" incident, Huayi immediately announced a new policy, turning all physical tickets into virtual tickets, and collecting the personal information of the inviter through the system. At that time, the premiere will only need to show the person's ID card to enter.
This basically completely prevents ticket selling from happening again. After all, the tickets are gone, how can they sell them? Can they sell their ID cards? But the buyer can't use it, after all, the staff who check the ID cards are not blind.
Huayi's method was soon directly adopted by many large film companies, but some small and medium-sized companies still followed the original method. After all, they didn't have the spare money to build a system specifically for this purpose. Even if it might cost a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, it was not worth it for them.
The key is that some of the movies they produced didn't have the money to hold a premiere, so they didn't care much about whether the film critics sold tickets or not. They even hoped that they would sell them. If they could really sell another million... No, even if it was 100,000, they would wake up with laughter. After all, the publicity effect was really excellent.
The million-dollar movie ticket issue stayed on the hot topic list for a full week before it was removed from the list. The total number of clicks exceeded 500 million, making it the hottest topic this year, no doubt about it.
Even Huayi was surprised by the effect of this matter.
Even many people who never go to the cinema knew that Nie Wei had a new movie to hold a premiere. As a result, after a film critic received the movie ticket from Huayi, he sold the movie ticket to a local tycoon for one million.
Of course, the rich man who bought the ticket also became completely popular. In a short moment, the number of followers of the rich man who only had a few hundred people soared to millions of followers. The public was very curious about what the person who spent millions to buy tickets looked like. Many people came with the mentality of watching a joke. Of course, some people really took him as a scapegoat and kept asking him if he wanted other movie tickets.
Is the rich man stupid? He may be impulsive, but he is definitely not stupid.
Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, he updated several Weibo posts in a row, all of which were advertising for his furniture store. The effect was also very good. In just one week, the income of his furniture store doubled directly. He earned back the money he spent on buying tickets for one million in two days.
The key is that his company has also become famous because of this. Hundreds of millions of netizens on the Internet know that there is a rich man who spent millions for a ticket to the premiere. By the way, they also know that he is in the furniture business, and this publicity guy may not be able to buy it even if he spends 10 million advertising fees.
The whole incident is actually a win-win process.
The film critic won one million, and Huayi's "Interstellar" received a high-profile publicity, which was the icing on the cake. The rich man also became popular with the help of the east wind, and took his business to a higher level.
Time unknowingly came to December 20th, and the premiere of "Interstellar" was also held on this day. The venue was still the Starry Theater. Not only because of Nie Wei's relationship, but also because the Starry Theater was the largest cinema in Kyoto, and the decoration was also top-notch in the industry. Naturally, it was the most suitable venue for the premiere.
In fact, the Starry Theater takes on dozens of premiere business every year, only a part of which comes from Huayi, and the rest are mostly from other film companies.
This place has obviously become a landmark theater in the industry. When others think of premieres, the first thing they think of is the Starry Theater.
At the premiere, in addition to paying attention to the movie itself, the most exciting thing for reporters is naturally the opening red carpet show.
Huayi announced the red carpet list a week ago.
Looking at the rows of celebrity names, everyone can't help but sigh that Huayi is a big company with a wide network of contacts.
On that day, nearly 200 celebrities will attend the premiere of "Interstellar", including Keanu Reeves, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck and other leading actors will also come to China to attend the premiere.
Foy didn't come. The child was too young, so Nie Wei didn't let her travel across the ocean to go back and forth, after all, it would delay her studies. Little Foy was very unhappy about this, and she didn't calm down until Nie Wei promised to personally take her to the red carpet at the Saturn Awards next year.
In addition to these Hollywood big names, Zhang Ziyi, who is also the lead actress, will naturally attend the premiere, and Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, Cheng Kun, Huang Xiaoming and others will also attend the premiere red carpet.
Other companies such as Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, Deng Chao, Sun Lili, etc., including Fan Binbin who left Huayi before, will also be on time.
Of course, what attracted the reporters was that Nie Wei was going to take Shu Chang to the red carpet that day.
This really moved countless CP fans of Nie Wei and Shu Chang to tears. You know, since Shu Chang married Nie Wei, she has been in a semi-retired state. The opportunities for the two to appear together are very few, and they have never walked on the red carpet together.
Who would have thought that this year would be a great year for CP fans. At the beginning of the year, Nie Wei took Shu Chang to walk the red carpet of the Saturn Awards. Unexpectedly, at the end of the year, at the premiere of "Interstellar", Nie Wei would take Shu Chang to walk the red carpet again.
The key point is that this time on the red carpet, Shu Chang also changed another identity, from an actor to a producer, which also made many reporters eager to ask Shu Chang questions related to the change of identity.
Of course, the reporters also wanted to ask Nie Wei about some things about the movie, and were more curious about what Nie Wei thought about the "million movie tickets" incident. After all, this matter was so hot, but Nie Wei did not express any opinion from beginning to end, which made countless people curious about what Nie Wei thought.
Anyway, the reporters had a lot of questions to ask the couple. After all, they were so popular that many people would be willing to watch whatever they said.
The reporters' ideas were quickly put into action.
That night, amid the most enthusiastic cheers from the audience, Nie Wei and Shu Chang came to the interview area. Before the host even spoke, the reporters couldn't wait to ask questions.
The reporter first targeted Nie Wei and Shu Chang's red carpet looks.
The two's looks today were very special. They both wore black down jackets to walk the red carpet. Although this outfit is ordinary for daily life, this is the red carpet. The two of them are unique among a bunch of celebrities in suits.
"Nie Wei, Shu Chang, is there anything special about your down jackets? Why do you choose to dress like this on an occasion like today? Is there any reason?"
"Nothing special. If you want to say special, this is the school uniform of my alma mater, Beijing Electric Power College. You can't buy it outside." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
In the original time and space, a bunch of stars in Huaxi Opera made their school uniform down jackets popular. As a student of Beijing Electric Power College, Nie Wei naturally did not allow the people of Huaxi Opera to be the most beautiful, so in this life, he proposed to teacher Wang Jinsong to sponsor down jackets for all teachers and students of Beijing Electric Power College, and also played such a trick on the red carpet today.
I believe that after tonight, this set of school uniform down jackets of Beijing Electric Power College will definitely become popular on the Internet.
When the reporters heard that it was the uniform of Beijing Electric, everyone was stunned. Someone immediately asked: "Are you promoting Beijing Electric?"
"Of course not, my alma mater is the world's top art school, famous at home and abroad, and I don't need to promote it deliberately."
When Nie Wei said this, the teachers and students of Beijing Electric who were watching the live broadcast were all happy, especially the students, whose chests were involuntarily raised, and each of them looked like a proud little swan.
"If it's not to promote the school, then what's the reason?" A pretty female reporter asked in confusion.
"Of course it's because of the cold." Nie Wei pointed to the small snowflakes floating down from the sky and smiled.
Kyoto and even the north have been particularly unkind this winter. It hasn't snowed since the beginning of winter, but many cities in the south have snowed, which has made many people in Kyoto call for going to the south to see the snow.
But today, God suddenly gave face. Snowflakes began to fall from the sky at noon. Although the snow was not heavy, it never stopped. It fell from noon to night and continued to fall until the premiere of "Interstellar".
Nie Wei's answer made all the reporters speechless, because during the entire red carpet show, only Nie Wei and Shu Chang considered the issue of "cold".
The reporter felt that it was about time and immediately shifted the topic to Shu Chang.
"Ms. Shu Chang, this is your cooperation with Nie Wei again, but this time you are no longer participating in Nie Wei's movie as the heroine, but as a producer. What do you think about this?"
"It's quite special, and very fresh. When I saw Director Zheng Xiaolong and his wife working together, I thought whether I could do the same with Nie Wei. I didn't expect that this idea would be realized so quickly."
"Then as a producer, how would you rate your work?"
"This shouldn't be scored by me. Can I give it to the gentleman next to me?" Shu Chang kicked the ball to Nie Wei on the side, and then looked at him expectantly like the reporter.
"Nine points." Nie Wei answered without hesitation.
"Such a high rating?" A reporter exclaimed immediately. Shu Chang pretended to be very angry when he heard this, and pointed at the reporter and asked: "Are you surprised that I got nine points? How bad did you think of me?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him because of Shu Chang's words, the reporter lowered his head in embarrassment and raised his hand to wave at Shu Chang to deny it.
Shu Chang was just joking, of course she wouldn't continue to care about it. In fact, except for this outspoken reporter, many reporters had doubts about Nie Wei's score.
No wonder, after all, it was Shu Chang's first time to serve as the chief producer, and before that she had only worked as an assistant producer once. It was naturally beyond everyone's expectations that she could get such a high evaluation from Nie Wei.
"Can you tell me where the one point was deducted?" a reporter asked.
"Didn't anyone ask me how many points it was? What if I said it was 100 points?" Nie Wei didn't answer directly, but asked.
Upon hearing this, all the reporters' eyes lit up and hurriedly asked Nie Wei if it was 100 points.
"I said you believe it, of course it's 100 points. If it's 100 points, I probably won't be able to get home tonight." When Nie Wei said this, Shu Chang, who was standing next to him, raised his little fist and shook it at Nie Wei twice, and the threat was self-evident.
The two people flirted and made so many single dogs in front of the screen fall in love with them.
The reporters at the scene were all upset, thinking that Nie Wei was too naughty tonight and had deceived their feelings so many times.
"The reason why I gave Shu Chang such a high score is because of the tacit understanding between us. Sometimes, even without language, just a glance, she can understand what I want. Working with such a person is a comfortable thing, but..."
Speaking of this, Nie Wei suddenly paused, and waited until the reporters pricked up their ears before continuing: "Although Shu Chang works very hard, she lacks experience after all, and occasionally makes mistakes. Thanks to the help of Sister Huang and Sister Li, she can successfully complete the task. So my nine points are not only for Shu Chang, but also for all of them."
As soon as Nie Wei finished speaking, Shu Chang immediately understood and hurriedly thanked: "Indeed, I am still a rookie in the profession of producer. Without the help of Sister Huang and Sister Li, I may really have a lot of problems. Here I also want to sincerely thank the two sisters. I will treat you to dinner later! Love you, Pen Core."
The reporters were all speechless. The good, the bad, the loving, the humble, all were said by Nie Wei and Shu Chang. What else could they ask?
There was no way, Shu Chang couldn't ask any more questions, so the reporters took advantage of the remaining interview time to immediately change the topic and target Nie Wei again.
After all, they hadn't asked about such a big thing as the million movie tickets.
