The straight man in the entertainment circle

When Lin Li and Chen Qingqing came back from shopping, it was already dark.

The accompanying staff have already coordinated their respective work with the personnel of the island country’s publicity company.

After everyone had dinner together, they were ready to go to the venue for tonight's event: East Film Club Cinema!

Although the island country has a small population, its economic capacity is extremely developed. It was once the first and second largest box office in Yazhou. Although the total box office is now slightly inferior to that of China, according to the national movie-watching habits, the island people are still strong. Of China.

The highest box office of a Chinese film in the island country was Cheng Ming's "Police Story" more than ten years ago, with a box office of 8 billion yen, which was almost 500 million yuan.

What’s even more ironic is that the three highest-grossing Chinese films in the island country are all produced by Cheng Ming, with the second place at 5.5 billion yen and the third place at 4.6 billion yen!

Other Chinese movies only have a box office of 2 billion at most, which is equivalent to just over 100 million yuan.

The box office record of domestic movies in the island country is as high as tens of billions of yen, so Chinese movies are really not popular in the island country.

Although overall the box office performance of the island country is slightly lower than that of China, the box office of more than 100 million is indeed not outstanding.

In other words, in the island country, except for Cheng Ming, who has some box office appeal, no one else has appeal.

Lin Li also knew that even though he was popular in the island country, it was only compared to other Chinese stars. In fact, the number of people was not that large, and it could be said that it had no impact on the movie box office.

Everything depends on the quality of the film.

Lin Li and Chen Qingqing arrived at the lounge of the cinema. Soon the staff from the island country brought in a man and a woman.

The boy was about thirty, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a straight body and proud eyes.

He looks good, but his teeth don't look good when he smiles. However, it seems that the teeth of the islanders are generally uneven, so he is pretty good, but as a star, it is still a bit regretful.

The girl was probably around 20 years old. She had a chubby face and two dimples when she smiled. Although she was not particularly pretty, she looked very approachable.

"Lin Lijun, this is Mr. Qiu Bishanzhong, a well-known singer in the island country, and the singer of the theme song of the island country version of "Young You"." The translator introduced.

Lin Li stretched out his hand to shake his hand, but Qiubishan suddenly saw Chen Qingqing and his eyes were fixed on Chen Qingqing.

He actually ignored Lin Li's extended hand and said into the translator's ear: "Is that lady the heroine?"

Qiu Bishanzhong and the translator thought that Lin Li couldn't understand Japanese, so they didn't shy away from it.

"Yes, and this is the actor and director Lin Li." the translator reminded.

Qiu Bishan smiled at Lin Li, stretched out her hand to shake Lin Li's hand, as if giving you face, and then looked at Chen Qingqing again.

The translator was also a little embarrassed and said: "Mr. Qiu Bishanzhong told me that he likes you very much and knows that you are very talented."

Lin Li sneered in his heart. The translator thought he couldn't understand Japanese and wanted to make peace and make money.

"I think he likes Chen Qingqing more." Lin Li smiled.

Qiu Bishan heard Lin Li smile, turned to look at him, and then said to the translator: "Okay, let's go say hello to the heroine."

There was actually some impatience in his tone.

The translator smiled awkwardly and said to Lin Li, "Mr. Yamanaka wants to say hello to Ms. Chen Qingqing."

"Yeah, okay." Lin Li smiled.

Qiubishan Zhong couldn't wait to walk towards Chen Qingqing before Lin Li finished speaking. The translator bowed slightly to Lin Li and followed him.

Lin Li thought to himself that this Qiubishan was really rude. He didn't know whether it was because of his nature or because he was a Chinese talent.

But it doesn't seem right when you think about it. Chen Qingqing is also from China, and Qiubishan is very enthusiastic towards her.

At this time, Qiu Bishan was smiling and looking for a topic to chat with Chen Qingqing. On the contrary, Chen Qingqing was expressionless and seemed to have no energy.

Lin Li also heard Qiu Bishanzhong saying to the translator: "Ms. Chen, is there any place you want to visit when you come to our island country? If so, I can take you to visit for a while."

After hearing what the translator said, Chen Qingqing looked at Lin Li and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, but I have already visited today!"

Qiubishan was a little disappointed, but he immediately regained his composure and said: "How can it be possible to visit Dongjing in such a big way in one day? Why don't we leave our contact information and we can make an appointment then, and I will take you to have a good stroll. I just happened to be there recently." available!"

Qiu Bishan was eagerly looking forward to Chen Qingqing's response. Chen Qingqing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What a pity. I have been very busy recently. I am currently promoting "Young You" and I have to rush back for training in two days. There is no way. Director Zhang Dashong Being the leading female lead made me put down a lot of things! In fact, sometimes it doesn’t matter where you go shopping, it’s who you go shopping with that matters, right?”

The translator didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he translated it directly.

However, they don't know that in the entertainment industry, if you say you are very free, it means you are not popular enough, because any popular artist will continue to be invited.

Qiu Bishanzhong originally wanted to get close to Chen Qingqing, but Chen Qingqing directly said that he was too busy, as if he was not popular at all without an invitation. Chen Qingqing disdained to play with him, which embarrassed him.

Although he is only a second-rate singer in the island country, in terms of the number of fans, at least in the island country, his fans are more than ten times that of Lin Li and Chen Qingqing combined. Chen Qingqing actually talks about guns and sticks. He is really ungrateful!

After listening to the translation, Qiu Bishan looked at Chen Qingqing's cold face and asked the translator next to her in Japanese, "What does she mean by that?! I wanted to be friends with her with good intentions, but she ridiculed me? Chinese people Is this all the case?”

Lin Li frowned. It seemed that Qiubishan Zhong looked down on the Chinese people. Otherwise, he would not have blurted out the map cannon like this.

The translator repeatedly said that he had misunderstood, but Chen Qingqing did not mean to be sarcastic.

Chen Qingqing smiled now: "What are you talking about?"

Qiu Bishanzhong also looked at the translator: "What did she say again?"

The translator still kept a smile and said good things about both parties, but nothing they said was translated.

"Shameless!" Qiu Bishan cursed.

Anyway, he felt that Chen Qingqing and Lin Li didn't understand Japanese, and they didn't shy away from talking, so he said it in person.

Lin Li heard everything clearly. Although Chen Qingqing didn't understand, she was good at analyzing the fans' words at the airport by looking at their expressions. Even if she didn't understand, Chen Qingqing could roughly understand what Qiu Bishan was saying.

Chen Qingqing also pretended not to know, with a proud smile on her face. Qiu Bishan was obviously furious.

Lin Li had been paying attention to the movements on Chen Qingqing's side. For some reason, when he walked towards Chen Qingqing in Qiubi Mountain, Lin Li couldn't help but pay attention to the movements on that side.

Although Chen Qingqing's response to Lin Li was not surprising, she was quite happy in her heart.

Lin Li didn't know whether it was because Chen Qingqing made a mockery of Qiu Bishan, or because Chen Qingqing refused to be approached by others.

Although it is the same thing, the meaning is different.

"Lin Sang!"

A warm and sweet voice sounded in Lin Li's ears.

Lin Li turned around and saw that it was the girl who came with Qiu Bishanzhong just now.

"I'm Mina Akabane! Nice to meet you!"

The girl who spoke introduced herself in broken Mandarin. If the translator next to her hadn't said her name again, Lin Li would have thought she was eating fish but not having milk!

"Hello, I'm Lin Li." Lin Li shook hands with her.

Akabane Mina said in Japanese: "I have listened to your songs, "The Wind Rises", "First Dream" and many other songs are very nice. Lin Sang's musical talent is really amazing. If Lin Sang develops in Japan , there must be a bigger stage!”

Akabane Mina's tone was sincere, her smile was innocent, and she also talked about a few of Lin Li's songs, which was obviously not a lie.

But Akabane Mina's tone still unconsciously revealed a feeling that the island nation is superior to China, which made Lin Li a little funny.

But after all, there was no ill intention, and Lin Li didn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it."

"You must consider that Lin Sang's appearance will definitely fascinate the girls from the island country!" Akabane Mina thought that Lin Li was really attracted, so she persuaded her again.

Lin Li thought of the fans of island girls at the airport, and thought it would be bad if they were all so obsessed with them.

Due to unfamiliarity, Lin Li and Akabane Mina politely left after saying a few words.

Chen Qingqing walked up to Lin Li at some point, looked at Akabane Mina who was walking away and said, "I guess what she told you is that she likes you very much and asked if you would like to develop in the island country. She can help you."

Lin Li looked at Chen Qingqing and had to say that her guess was accurate.

"She suggested that I go to an island country to develop, but she didn't say that she would help me."

"If you really come to the island country, she will definitely take the opportunity to help you. The way she looks at you makes her want to eat you."

Lin Li was a little amused when he saw Chen Qingqing like that: "You can really guess people's thoughts!"

Chen Qingqing looked at Lin Li and smiled: "It's a pity that you are not human!"

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then realized that Chen Qingqing was saying that he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Lin Li thought that not only Chen Qingqing couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but he himself couldn't figure it out either.

Ma Zheng was thinking that someone would come over and tell Lin Li and Chen Qingqing that they were about to take the stage and ask them to prepare.

It's said that getting ready actually means going to the restroom when it's time to go to the restroom, but some people will also touch up their makeup.

Several assistants in Qiu Bishan were retouching his makeup and fixing his hair. He was naturally enjoying the assistants' instructions, but he found that there were no assistants standing nearby. Instead, Chen Qingqing patted his body inadvertently. Motes of dust.

Seeing the jade trees standing in the wind in the Qiubi Mountain, there is no need for anyone to dress up, just standing there looks like a superstar. Chen Qingqing and him standing together are a match made in heaven!

Qiu Bishanzhong was irritable and waved away the assistants surrounding him, but at this time Lin Li stood beside Qiu Bishanzhong under the guidance of the staff.

Although Qiubishan had always looked down on Chinese stars, standing side by side with Lin Li at this moment, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Two days ago, he didn't know Lin Li, but now standing with Lin Li, he had to admit that the aura that Lin Li exuded was the most powerful he had ever seen in his life!

A group of people walked onto the stage amid the host's introduction.

There are four to five hundred seats in the cinema, and it is full at this time. However, according to Lin Li's observation, at least one-third of them are Chinese students, and only about half are real island fans.

Others are naturally some media and film critics.

The shouts of Akibi Sanaka and Akabane Mina were quite loud when they appeared on the stage, but compared with Lin Lili who appeared later, they seemed as weak as if no one had eaten enough before.

Although Lin Li has few fans in the island country, those who can participate in today's event are the core members of Lin Li's fans who are most obsessed with Lin Li. It is rare for this group of people to see Lin Li himself, so naturally they want to express their inner love with screams.

Qiubishan heard the deafening screams from only a few hundred fans in the audience, and felt sour in his heart.

His fans in the island country are ten times more numerous than others, but if he holds a meeting with hundreds of people, the fans at the scene will definitely not be so crazy.

It seems that not many people in the island country like or know Lin Li, but fans are as obsessed with Lin Li as any other foreign superstar!

Qiu Bishanzhong originally thought that he was invited to help them control the situation today, but he found that this was not the case at all, and he seemed to be reduced to a foil!

Qiu Bishan glanced at Lin Li with contempt in his heart. Isn't this guy just a good face? These people are too superficial!

I am a famous creative talent in the island country, but these people are blind!

The group introduced themselves one by one and then conducted a brief interview session with the help of an interpreter.

Everyone had received the interview questions in advance and already knew how to answer them, so it went smoothly.

However, when interviewing Qiubishan, an accident happened.

When the host asked Qiu Bishan what his impression of Lin Li was, he said that he didn't know Lin Li before, but after meeting him today, he thought Lin Li was beautiful.

Qiu Bishan's tone was full of disdain, because he used the word "beautiful" instead of "handsome". In the industry, many male celebrities who only rely on their faces are often described as beautiful, which is actually a way of denying their strength.

The host awkwardly smoothed things over by saying that Lin Li was very talented and the songs he wrote were very nice.

Qiu Bishan just sneered.

However, Akabane Mina said a lot of good things about Lin Li during the interview, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

Then it was time for everyone to try out the movie.

The movie "Better Days" will be released tomorrow, and tonight is the premiere. Only a small part of the movie will be shown.

In order not to spoil too much, people from Lida Entertainment only edited the complete part of Hu Xiaodie's story, and only a little bit of Xiaobei and Chen Nian's part.

The total duration is about ten minutes, which is about one-tenth of the length of the movie.

After watching it, film critics began to comment. Some said it was good, and some said it was bad. However, because the complete film has not been released yet, the impact is not great.
