Chapter 136 The Screening of "Infernal Affairs" (Part 1)
The system notification means that Yi Minghao's "Wishing You a Smooth Journey" has topped the newcomer chart, bringing her one step closer to the title of "Father Qu." Now she can only wait for the release of the movie "Infernal Affairs."
Time flies by.
One day, Ling Xia received a call from the Infernal Affairs staff right after filming, asking her to attend the premiere of the movie "Infernal Affairs" in three days.
Ling Xia's agent, Sister Zhao, was overjoyed to receive an invitation from Hong Kong director Luo Yuan to attend the premiere. She kept asking Ling Xia what kind of dress she should wear to the premiere.
Because many major media outlets will definitely be present on the day of the film's premiere.
"But many big-name movie stars will be there to support me. I'll just be a clown, and no media will pay any attention to me. Then the mainland media will report that actress Ling Xia rushed to the premiere, but no one recognized her. It's ridiculous." Ling Xia calmly sat in her chair, analyzing the situation three days later with a self-deprecating expression.
Sister Zhao, who had been all smiles just moments before, seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water; her joy vanished instantly.
Hong Kong is indeed full of big names, and many mainland actors are only a few famous in Hong Kong, while the rest are unknown.
In addition, Ling Xia's only major supporting role in TV dramas is in "The Warring States Policy". Furthermore, her film performance is not particularly good. The only film with her playing a female ghost has a low box office.
"Sigh," Sister Zhao's face fell. Such a good opportunity had slipped away. She sighed repeatedly. "What do we do now?"
Ling Xia was eating the beef in her salad, chewing slowly and savoring today's feast. In order to have a light and graceful feeling in the fantasy drama, her mouth was already bland.
She chewed twenty times and finally swallowed with satisfaction before continuing to answer Sister Zhao's question, "Go to the movie quietly with the mindset of an audience member," and then added, "Go in through the back door and watch it silently."
After thinking it over, Sister Zhao decided on this plan. "However, I still need to find an opportunity to meet Director Luo Yuan and leave a good impression."
Ling Xia was an unknown actress to Hong Kong filmmakers and audiences, and a newcomer to the film industry. As long as she remained humble and composed, she agreed.
……
June 22nd, a cinema in Hong Kong. 3:00 PM.
A large number of reporters from entertainment newspapers gathered at the entrance of the movie theater.
They all gathered in one place, where a red carpet stretched for about a hundred meters.
Right now, one after another, celebrities are walking leisurely down the red carpet in glamorous outfits.
Each photographer was busy snapping pictures.
"Cao Ying, Cao Ying, look over here, yes, yes, this is over here."
"Professor Ren Qiang, Professor Ren Qiang, would it be convenient for you to interview me here for a few minutes?"
The photo and interview area was bustling with activity.
At this moment, Ling Xia, who had asked Director Lin Yu for a few days off, was driving past the movie theater in an SUV when the lively scene before her eyes came into view.
"It's so lively, no less than a movie awards ceremony," Ling Xia exclaimed as she sat in the car, looking out the window.
"Yeah, it's because Director Luo Yuan is so famous. Many well-known actors are willing to participate in his new movie without paying a fee," Tian Tian, who was sitting next to me browsing blogs, chimed in.
During this trip to Hong Kong, she definitely wants to go shopping if she has the time. Heaven knows how difficult it was for her to get a Hong Kong travel permit. If she doesn't buy a lot, she's not a true "Tian" (a term of endearment for a woman), she might as well turn back the clock and be ready for the next year.
Old Li parked his car downstairs at the movie theater. Because the theater had booked the entire Infernal Affairs film crew, there were people blocking him from entering the parking lot. He was only allowed in when Ling Xia showed her movie ticket.
Ling Xia led Tian Tian into the movie theater, where a long line of movie theater staff were waiting to show them the way.
Upon seeing Ling Xia arrive, a female server immediately stepped forward to ask if she was there for the premiere of "Infernal Affairs".
After receiving an affirmative answer, the female staff member looked at the tickets in Ling Xia's hand and led them to an autograph area. After Ling Xia and Tian Tian signed their names, they entered the movie premiere venue.
There were already many people at the scene, and Xia saw many actors who had appeared on television.
Other media outlets had already found good spots to take photos, and were gathered in small groups, seemingly talking about something.
This is because Tian Tian was a staff member accompanying the film, and she needed to go to another exhibition hall, which is where the two parted ways. They will contact each other by phone after watching the film.
Ling Xia quietly found her seat with her movie ticket and sat down.
Her seat was in the third row, which is quite close to the front.
When she sat down and looked back, she could see several actresses dressed in glamorous clothes taking beautiful photos.
The crew probably made this arrangement because they considered Ling Xia, who wrote the movie's theme song, as one of the main creators of the film.
Ling Xia stopped considering it.
Ling Xia was originally dressed in all black and wearing a baseball cap, so he didn't attract much attention. But when he sat in the first three rows, he became a bit more noticeable.
The reporters, drawn by the scent of blood, began to silently scrutinize Ling Xia.
