Chapter 292 The movie is released, Lao Chen’s big project! (Please subscribe!)

What brand of perfume is it? It smells good!
Lin Xuan hugged Liu Xiaoli and thought to himself.

Soon, he let go.

Then, taking advantage of Liu Xiaoli's daze, she gently hugged Liu Yifei behind her.

"Sissi, Happy New Year, I wish you great success this year."

"Thank you, brother Lin Xuan!"

By the time Liu Xiaoli came to her senses, their ceremony was over.

Liu Xiaoli stared at Lin Xuan, her fists clenched and her face as cold as frost.

"Sister Liu, why are you still standing? The premiere is about to begin."

Lin Xuan stood there and looked at her with a smile.

…………

Liu Yifei whispered in her mother's ear.

He was depressed, so he drove to a bar to drink away his sorrow.

"Impossible, radio and television does not allow ghosts to appear in film and television works!"

Only viewers who are sensitive to the camera noticed some clues.

A few days after moving in, Gao Yuanyuan felt something was wrong with the house.

The police came to investigate the disappearance case and suspected that Lin Xuan had a motive for the crime.

The audience all had the same doubts as her.

Seeing the two of them having a heated exchange in the bedroom, the audience widened their eyes, fearing that they would miss any details.

When taking a bath, the water surface often ripples.

She snorted coldly and looked at her daughter.

Liu Yifei smiled and bowed slightly: "Hello, uncle!"

At around eleven o'clock, the red carpet session ended, and the crew and creators walked into the theater.

Lin Xuan got drunk and had a conflict with a bar patron. Gao Yuanyuan drove the drunk man away and drove him home to take care of him.

"Then what's going on?"

"Humph!"

Lin Xuan only took one look and said that the body was not hers.

The bartender Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but become curious about him when she saw him crying lonely.

Fan Xiaopang appeared on the screen and pointed the camera at himself.

"You call me sister, we are of the same generation. Sissi, remember to change your name to uncle from now on."

Lin Xuan accepted it calmly and patted her head: "Hello, uncle will buy you some candies later."

Gao Yuanyuan told Lin Xuan about the abnormality at home and suspected that it was his ex-girlfriend who was behind the scenes, but Lin Xuan did not take it seriously.

Seeing how thick-skinned he was, Liu Xiaoli quickly dragged Liu Yifei into the movie theater.

Lin Xuan took the microphone to greet the guests attending the premiere, and then briefly introduced the creative process.

There are always strange and harsh sounds in the water pipes.

The two gradually became close and soon fell into a new relationship.

He said that he found the body of a suspected ex-girlfriend and asked him to go to the police station to identify it.

On the other side, Gao Yuanyuan is at home alone.

After the opening scene, everyone sat down on their chairs, the theater lights dimmed, and the movie officially started.

On a rainy night, a sudden power outage at home startled her.

"Hahaha!"

With a sad expression and a low voice, she slowly told about the emotional conflicts between her and Lin Xuan, and finally decided to break up.

"There won't be any ghosts, right?"

Lin Xuan was distraught when he was questioned by the police.

Accompanied by the low and thrilling music, the hearts of hundreds of viewers in the theater were in suspense.

One day, the police came to notify me.

She smiled so hard that her teeth showed.

The camera shows the mirror in the master bedroom many times. Is there any clue here?
From being a bartender to being the girlfriend of a famous actor and moving into his mansion, Gao Yuanyuan leads a very happy life.

As soon as the scene changed, Lin Xuan looked at the video with red eyes and slumped on the sofa helplessly.

The camera adjustments in these scenes show Gao Yuanyuan's inner fear.

The bath water suddenly became hot and burned her back.

A man was standing in front of the sink and talking to himself. The basin in front of him was filled with water.

When she heard Lin Xuan coming home, she quickly pulled out the plug.

"Who are you talking to?"

"Nothing! Is the body hers?"

"no!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure she's safe."

Gao Yuanyuan stepped forward, hugged him and comforted him softly.

Her head rested on Lin Xuan's shoulder, with a complex and mysterious expression on her face.

Following her gaze, the camera gradually zoomed in towards the mirror on the wash basin.

Suddenly a woman's ferocious face appeared in the mirror.

"Hold the grass!"

"Scared me!"

Hundreds of people in the movie theater were shocked by the picture and soundtrack, and they patted their chests with lingering fear.

The screen turned from black to bright, and Fan Xiaopang reappeared.

The plot quickly introduces the process of the two meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love, and then moving into this mansion.

Everything started out great, as they shopped and furnished the house together.

However, not long after, she saw the scandal in the newspaper.

One day she was secretly following Lin Xuan and happened to find Lin Xuan flirting with the actress on the set.

Although the two explained that they were discussing the script, Fan Xiaopang knew very well that the two were definitely having an affair.

One day, the landlady came to the house as a guest and chatted with her about the past.

Fan Xiaopang complained to her, and the landlady told her the secret of the villa.

The original owner of the villa was a patriotic entrepreneur during the Republic of China period.

In order to rescue the anti-Japanese elements and help them avoid Japanese raids, a secret room was built in the villa.

The landlady took her to the bedroom and used the weird key to open the secret room.

"This is a one-way mirror. You can clearly see the outside from here, but you can't see the inside from the outside!
If you want to test your boyfriend's fidelity, this is the best way to do it. "

The answer to the mystery was revealed, and there were bursts of exclamations in the theater.

The whole ruse of the movie is just two one-way mirrors in the bedroom and bathroom.

How could Lin Xuan's head be so well designed?

The audience who saw the clues through the camera in advance immediately smiled.

I've already thought of these idiots.

After handing the key to her, the landlady left. She came to say goodbye today.

In two days she will return to her hometown to take care of herself.

When I got to my hometown, I called to ask about the test results.

Fan Xiaopang clutched the key, and his heart began to stir.

She took out her camera and recorded the video at the beginning of the film.

At this time, the sound of a car engine came from outside the door.

She speeded up and moved the necessary daily necessities into the secret room.

However, something went wrong while she was busy, and she dropped the most critical key outside.

The movie then looks through this one-way mirror to reorganize the story from another angle.

Lin Xuan walked into the bedroom holding flowers and found the video left by his girlfriend.

After reading it, he angrily smashed the bouquet against the glass.

Bang!
The audience and Fan Xiaopang were both shocked.

She decided to stop this prank, but after searching for a long time, she found that the key to the secret room was actually outside.

Fan Xiaopang panicked. She slapped the glass desperately, but Lin Xuan couldn't hear her at all.

Within a few days, Lin Xuan came out of the gloom and brought a new girlfriend home, and even staged the great harmony of life in front of her.

No matter how much Fan Xiaopang shouted, he could not stop them.

She knelt down in despair and covered her head, but the specially-made loudspeaker doubled the sound outside.

With immense hatred, Fan Xiaopang began to play tricks on Gao Yuanyuan. The weird events in the early stages of the movie, including power outages, strange noises, and hot water, were all caused by her behind the scenes.

From Fan Xiaopang's perspective, these pranks were very funny, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the theater.

Until one day, Gao Yuanyuan was walking by the lake and threw the leftover apple core into the water.

Watching the ripples on the water, she thought thoughtfully and quickly returned to the master bedroom.

Gao Yuanyuan filled the wash basin with water.

Fan Xiaopang, who was already haggard after being trapped for many days, was very excited.

"You're not as stupid as I thought."

"start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Xiaopang hit the pipe hard, and ripples appeared in the pool.

Gao Yuanyuan was startled: "Is there anyone inside?"

The water ripples again.

The two asked and answered questions, and Gao Yuanyuan found the mechanism to open the secret room on the bookshelf next to the one-way mirror.

However, the moment the key was inserted, she hesitated.

As long as she gently turns the key, the woman inside can see the light of day again.

But if she gets back together with Lin Xuan, what should she do?

Thinking back on the sweet daily life these days, Gao Yuanyuan took out the key and walked to the mirror: "I'm sorry!"

"Open the door, bitch... don't leave me here, open the door!"

Fan Xiaopang went crazy and slapped the glass desperately.

I just saw hope of escape, but it disappeared in an instant, and the feeling of powerless despair came over my face.

"Who are you talking to?" Lin Xuan came back from outside.

"nothing."

Gao Yuanyuan casually found an excuse to fool him.

Then she leaned on his shoulder and looked at herself in front of the mirror with an indifferent expression.

Since that day, she moved out of the master bedroom.

She didn't want her words and deeds to be seen by the woman in the mirror.

She also contacted Fan Xiaopang again, but the other party did not respond, which put a lot of pressure on her.

Until one day, she received a piece of information.

Inside were photos of Lin Xuan kissing other women.

The sender wanted to use these photos to extort money.

But this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

It's not worth it to suffer so much in your heart for such a man.

After thinking for a long time, Gao Yuanyuan finally opened the door.

Fan Xiaopang lay motionless on the bed.

As Gao Yuanyuan gradually approached, she suddenly opened her eyes and swung the iron rod hard to knock her out.

Then he grabbed the key, staggered out and closed the door of the secret room.

She was relieved when she looked at herself in the mirror, barely humanoid.

Fan Xiaopang placed the photo of the two of them on the glass, left the key to the secret room on the bed, and then floated away.

Lin Xuan returned home and his new girlfriend disappeared again. He looked at the photo on the mirror thoughtfully.

The next second, a pair of hands fell on the mirror.

"boom!"

…………

The movie ended here, and the audience burst into warm applause.

The cast and crew walked to the stage to be interviewed.

"Director Lin, first of all, congratulations to you. The movie is very exciting. But now I have a question that I really want to know.

Was the character played by Gao Yuanyuan finally rescued? "

"I left a blank at the end of the movie, so different audiences have different interpretations."

"I think he died because the male protagonist was so stupid that he never thought there was a secret room behind the glass."

Lin Xuan raised the microphone and said with a smile: "The movie is called "The Dark Side", and this interpretation is your dark side."

"Hahaha……"

The audience in the hall suddenly laughed.

A reporter asked: "Director Lin means that the dark side mentioned in the title includes not only the behavior of the characters in the film, but also the audience watching the film."

Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, I designed a lot of specious little easter eggs in the movie.

The deeper you can see, the psychology... I can't say it is dark, at least it is deeper.

If you are interested, you can watch it a few more times to see which level you are on. "

At the end of the interview, Lin Xuan sent the guests and media away.

"You two go home and rest. Meet at the airport in the evening."

The movie is officially released, and the crew is about to start a road show and fly to Hong Kong tonight.

After watching Fan Xiaopang and Gao Yuanyuan leave, Lin Xuan and Chen Hong walked towards the parking lot.

"The premiere has been good, and the media and audience have rated it very highly. I hope it will achieve good box office results."

"There will definitely be no problem at the box office. My fans and the audience for the film are young people, and the Spring Festival holiday is their time off."

The system currently has more than 100 million points, and Lin Xuan is ready to invest all of it, so the movie box office will start with a guaranteed minimum of 100 million.

But it was still early, and he wanted to see the real box office potential of the movie, and he would wait until after the New Year to vote for the system points.

Lin Xuan took Chen Hong's car home together.

Chen Hongming was his god-sister on the surface, and she definitely wanted to meet his parents in person.

Driving on the road, Lin Xuan asked: "What's going on with Lao Chen's big project?"

"It wasn't that time during the Golden Rooster Awards. They were a group of old classmates who analyzed the underlying logic of commercial films. Lao Chen thought it was very simple and wanted to make one himself."

"I remember that Director Chen looked down on commercial films and always focused on artistic films."

"He is indeed very resistant to commercial films, but since Zhang Yimou has already made a commercial film and won such a high box office, he must be tempted."

"Money and silk are so attractive that Director Chen can't hold on to them anymore."

"Yes, he approached Han Sanpingla to invest, and they both wanted to make blockbusters, so they hit it off immediately."

"When will the movie start shooting? Has the script been polished?"

“The script has been written and the crew is in preparation, mainly because the leading actors have not yet been decided.

Lao Chen wants to find some foreign actors and take an international route.

By the way, he is also planning to invite you to star, but I suggest you not to go. "

"why?"

"I've read the movie script, and to be honest, it's a bit confusing and I can't understand it at all."

"What's the name of the movie?"

""The Promise"!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan was in awe.

"I understand. I'll read the script first then."

…………

The car drove into the courtyard, and Lin Xuan introduced the guests to his parents.

His boss, his benefactor, his god-sister, and his royal producer.

When the two elders saw Chen Hong, they were very enthusiastic towards her.

Not only did he hold her hand and lead her to the living room, he also poured her tea himself.

They had all seen the news and heard Lin Xuan talk about it. They knew that Chen Hong was his great benefactor, so their words were full of gratitude.

Another reason is that my parents have watched Chen Hong's TV movies before and are considered half of her fans.

Liancheng in "Liao Zhai", Gu Ying in "City Detective", Diao Chan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Wang Zixuan in "Three Plum Blossoms".

They both know her famous works very well.

Chen Hong smiled on her face, but felt a little embarrassed in her heart.

The more they talk, the more they seem to be from the same era.
This is not a bad thing.

Chen Hong sat for a while, put down the gift and left.

Lin Xuan asked his assistant to pack his things, then said goodbye to his parents and took a car to the airport.

News of the film's roadshow has been announced, and many fans showed up at the airport.

Lin Xuan, Fan Xiaopang and Gao Yuanyuan signed autographs for fans at the scene.

Call on them to help spread the word and show your support.
