Chapter 42
: Shifting Positions, and Also Shifting Positions
With the prelude to the premiere ceremony over, it was time for everyone's favorite part: the movie screening.
Lin Yu's seat was a little awkward at this moment, because Wanda had placed him in the first row, with Da Tian Tian and Liu Yi Fei right behind him.
"What the hell? Even someone with a brain couldn't arrange these seats!" Lin Yu muttered under his breath.
And who are the people sitting behind him? They're all A-list or top-tier celebrities. Liu Yifei is alright, she's the female lead in this movie, so it's okay for her to be sitting a little closer.
But putting Da Tiantian behind him is a bit much. Although she's the second female lead, the third and fourth male leads in the drama have more screen time than her! Either put all the actors from "You Are the Apple of My Eye" behind Lin Yu, or why put her alone? Has Lu Zheng lost his mind?
But if he's really that smart, why didn't he arrange all those reporters in advance? Not a single one of them asked a difficult question. If the organizers didn't give the reporters bribes, nobody would believe they would ask such questions.
But it's no use talking about that now, the movie has already started playing.
Da Tiantian, standing behind Lin Yu, was also slightly excited, after all, this was her debut work.
"Brother Lin, do you think our movie will be a success? I feel like I didn't perform very well."
"Don't worry, even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in me. You acted very well, our movie will definitely be a success, just wait and see." Lin Yu turned around and whispered:
Liu Yifei also encouraged Da Tiantian beside her, after all, she herself was also very emotional when she saw her first work being released.
However, this can be considered her film debut. As for the film in Taiwan, it didn't even make a splash in mainland China, and the box office performance in Taiwan was also disappointing. So she is now full of expectations for "You Are the Apple of My Eye".
After receiving encouragement from her friends Liu Yifei and Lin Yu, Da Tiantian's mood calmed down a bit.
Soon, after the dragon logo, starlight, and Wanda logo flashed, the beginning of the movie was fully revealed to everyone.
As Lin Yu appeared at the beginning, the two girls behind him secretly chuckled. After all, Lin Yu is usually quite composed, but he is completely different in the movie, appearing somewhat roguish.
The moment Liu Yifei appeared, the audience was anything but calm.
"My goodness! The fairy-like beauty has transformed into a campus goddess."
"Wow! She looks so beautiful!"
"The ethereal, artistic goddess has arrived!"
Hearing the hushed discussion among the crowd, Lin Yu secretly turned to Liu Yifei and said, "See? I told you! You've got another title: campus goddess!"
Liu Yifei was also a little surprised. She didn't expect to look like this under Lin Yu's lens. Moreover, with the warm lighting, her temperament seemed to be sublimated.
"Sissi...you're so beautiful!" Da Tiantian, who was next to Liu Yifei, couldn't help but say.
"Hehe... Tian Tian, you're just as beautiful. I'm sure the audience's reaction will be similar when you come on stage."
As it turned out, Liu Yifei was wrong. When Jing Tian appeared, the audience didn't react much at all. Only a few people slightly remarked, "She's quite pretty!" and that was it.
However, Da Tian Tian was not discouraged. She was already very happy to receive praise so early in her career.
As the movie plot unfolds, Lin Yu's Ke Yu and Liu Yifei's Shen Jiayi go from disliking each other to respecting each other, and their various interactions bring smiles to the faces of the audience, evoking a flood of memories.
However, many of the directors present fell into deep thought, because Lin Yu's movie had already hinted at the beginning that the male protagonist would attend a wedding, but it was unclear whether he was the groom or a guest. However, they were now certain that the male protagonist was very likely to be a guest!
Because he didn't think Lin Yu would make such a tasteless movie, with no twists and turns at all, and the characters being all lovey-dovey until the end. He felt that such a movie was just too lame!
As it turns out, he truly deserves to be a director; his judgment is remarkably accurate.
An argument in the pouring rain completely destroyed the ambiguous relationship between the two.
The audience watched as Shen Jiayi in the movie kept shouting in the pouring rain: "Idiot! Big idiot! You don't understand anything at all!"
Ke Yu, on the other hand, seemed rather simple-minded and completely failed to understand Shen Jiayi's actions.
They all wished they could jump into the movie and slap Ke Yu to Shen Jiayi's side.
Some of the more sensitive girls were already sobbing softly at this point.
"Great filming, Director Lin! Although I really want to slap you right now!"
This must be the true feeling of the audience members who were moved.
Lin Yu, who was engrossed in watching, was suddenly and inexplicably slapped on the shoulder.
When Lin Yu turned around in surprise, he was met with Miss Liu's tear-streaked face.
Why don't you turn around?
"what?"
Why didn't you turn around in the movie?
"Sister, that's the script!"
"Hmph! Bad man!"
After saying that, Ms. Liu ignored Lin Yu and focused on watching the movie again.
Jing Tian, who was standing to the side, was about to cry, but she really didn't expect Liu Yifei to suddenly do this, which almost broke her down.
Lin Yu was completely bewildered, "What did I do to deserve this?"
Finally... the movie reached its final moments.
At this moment, all the viewers understood the scene at the beginning of the movie: Ke Yu had ultimately become a guest, not a groom!
When Lin Yu kisses Huang Bo in the movie, the audience's first reaction is to laugh, but they suddenly find that even though they have a smile on their lips, they can't laugh at all!
Until that line appeared in the movie: Goodbye! My youth.
The audience also realized that the movie had ended, and it must be said that Lin Yu has made another great film!
After the movie ended, Lin Yu led Ms. Liu and other key members of the "Those Years" crew back onto the stage.
And Lin Yu's first words after receiving the microphone were:
"Dear viewers, let me clarify first: the scene where I kiss Huang Bo was a camera trick."
These words immediately drew laughter from the audience.
"So, did you really kiss Liu Yifei?"
Suddenly, a unique remark came from the laughter, almost catching Lin Yu off guard.
"Of course... it was also a camera trick. Liu's mother was on set with binoculars, aiming at me! I'm a scaredy-cat, so I could only use a camera trick."
The audience almost broke many of their backs from Lin Yu's sudden outburst.
"Alright, let's move on to the normal procedure!" Lin Yu said, his expression slightly more serious.
