Not Minds Selling One's Sexual Appearance

Jiang Han arrived at the scene an hour before the roadshow.

He didn't go through the main entrance; staff led him into the rest area through a side door.

Guo Fan was already there, squatting in a corner going over the procedures.

Upon seeing Jiang Han enter, he jumped up and rushed to greet him.

"President Jiang, you've finally arrived." Guo Fan grasped his hand with great force.

"You've already arranged everything, haven't you?" Jiang Han glanced around.

"I was afraid you wouldn't come," Guo Fan said with a smile.

"Now that the person has arrived, I feel at ease."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Jing came out from inside.

He was wearing a dark casual suit, walked with a swagger, and smiled as he reached out his hand to Jiang Han.

Jiang Han grabbed it tightly; both of them were quite strong, their hands gripping each other tightly.

"President Jiang, I've long admired your name!" Wu Jing's voice was full of vigor.

"Director Guo keeps telling me that the success of this movie is all thanks to me."

"Don't listen to his bragging," Jiang Han said with a laugh.

"I was hardly ever on set; it was you guys who risked your lives."

"That's not fate, that's what we're supposed to do," Wu Jing patted his chest.

"When making movies, you're bound to risk your life."

After he finished speaking, he looked Jiang Han up and down.

"Mr. Jiang, with your build, you seem more like a fighter than me. Have you studied martial arts?"

"Never trained, just naturally born with perfect features."

Wu Jing laughed heartily: "You're too modest!"

"Director Guo said you don't read the script during your roadshows, and I didn't believe it. But seeing it today, I can see you really have the confidence."

"What gives me the confidence? People sitting in the front row can clap even without using their brains."

Guo Fan waved his hand from the side: "Don't stand here, come inside and sit down. The main cast and crew are all here, let me introduce you."

Jiang Han followed the two men inside.

Several actors were sitting on the sofa in the rest area.

Upon seeing Guo Fan and Wu Jing enter with others, they all stood up.

"President Jiang, this is Li Guangjie." Guo Fan pointed to a middle-aged male actor.

"Hello!" Jiang Han nodded.

Li Guangjie quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Jiang Han.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang! I've heard of you many times, but it's only today that I've met you in person."

"Were you disappointed when you met him in person?"

"How could that be!"

Guo Fan then introduced another young actress.

The young girl was a little nervous, and when she stood up, she didn't hold the script in her hand properly.

Jiang Han glanced at him and said, "Don't be nervous, you've all worked hard these past few days."

The young girl blushed and whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Han sat down in a corner.

Guo Fan handed him a bottle of water and sat down opposite him.

Wu Jing didn't leave either; she pulled over a chair, acting as if she were one of the guests.

"President Jiang, let me ask you something honestly: what are your expectations for this film?"

"I want as many of the films you make, however good they are."

"What if we lose?" Wu Jing asked deliberately.

"If you catch it, it's your responsibility," Jiang Han joked.

Wu Jing was taken aback: "Goodness, Mr. Jiang, you're really being impolite."

"Can politeness translate into box office success?" Jiang Han unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.

"I've seen the later episodes; this film is a gap in domestic science fiction."

"If I put it in the market, the audience will speak for me."

"Great! With President Jiang's words, Director Guo and I can sleep soundly tonight."

Wu Jing picked up a glass of water and touched it to Jiang Han's.

Before long, the staff came to call them, and the roadshow was about to begin.

Guo Fan stood up and explained to Jiang Han.

"You've been given a seat in the very middle of the first row, and there's an assistant behind you."

Jiang Han waved his hand: "Don't make it so complicated."

Once inside, the lights were dim.

The main cast and crew's chairs were placed in front of the huge screen.

The media area below the stage was already full, with a row of cameras and microphones set up.

Jiang Han found a seat and sat down; the seat was indeed right in the center.

The seats next to it are reserved for the main creators.

At the start of the roadshow, the host came on stage first and introduced the film.

Guo Fan then led the main creative team onto the stage, where they received a great deal of applause.

Guo Fan was wearing a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

Wu Jingze stood at the edge of the stage, looking like he was about to sabotage the performance at any moment.

"It took us more than four years."

Guo Fan didn't have a script and spoke slowly.

"The most difficult time was when President Jiang took over."

"Without Star Moon Media, we wouldn't have survived until now."

"Standing here today, I'd like to start by saying thank you, Mr. Jiang! No matter how hard the work we do, we're confident in our abilities."

He nodded in the direction of the Yangtze River and the camera followed his nod.

Jiang Han didn't move, he just nodded at the camera.

The host immediately chimed in, "Director Guo rarely thanks investors so formally. It seems that President Jiang has indeed injected something special into this project."

Guo Fan nodded firmly: "He not only gave us money, but he also believed that we could make the film."

"When no one dared to touch domestic science fiction, he told us to go for it."

"This trust is more valuable than any investment."

There was a moment of silence in the room, followed by applause.

Wu Jing took the microphone: "The first time I met President Jiang, I could tell he was going to do something big!"

Jiang Han looked at him and clicked his tongue softly.

This guy praises people without any preamble.

The next segment was for the main creators to share stories from the filming process.

Wu Jing talked about working 18 hours a day without stopping.

Guo Fan revised the storyboard for the space line forty-two times.

Several actors took turns speaking, and when they talked about lying on the floor due to lack of oxygen, one of the boys took off his glasses and wiped his face.

The scene gradually quieted down, and even the sound of camera shutters softened.

"Now we'll move on to the Q&A session," the host said.

As soon as he finished speaking, several hands were raised at the same time.

The host selected a female reporter from the second row.

The female reporter stood up and looked at Jiang Han first: "Mr. Jiang, tonight is the roadshow for 'The Wandering Earth,' but many audience members say that what they really want to see is your speech."

"Have you ever thought about stepping into the limelight one day, instead of staying behind the scenes?"

Jiang Han smiled and said, "I've never made a movie, and I can't act."

"Ask Director Guo and Wu Jing more questions."

"President Jiang, why do you believe in domestic science fiction?" another male reporter asked.

"Why don't you believe me?" Jiang Han looked at him.

"We'll film our own stories, and if we mess them up, we'll start over."

"If no one takes the first step, nobody knows if it will work."

"If Director Guo and his team want to do it, I'm willing to wait. It's that simple."

What are your box office expectations?

Jiang Han smiled without saying a word: "How much did Teacher Wu Jing's last movie gross? I think it should be about the same."

wow——

As soon as he finished speaking, a slight commotion arose below.

Everyone knows what it means in the Jianghan dialect.

Wolf Warrior!

President Jiang believes that domestic science fiction films can reach box office revenue of several billion yuan!

The host quickly steered the conversation back to Guo Fan.

But just a few minutes later, another reporter threw a question at the audience.

"President Jiang, we have received word that you are at the scene, and in the front row."

"Many netizens say this is even more talked about than the movie itself. How do you see your current position?"

Jiang Han stood up: "If I can increase everyone's attention to the content, I don't mind selling my body..."

puff!

The entire audience was instantly amused, and the roadshow was filled with laughter.

The first shot in the development of domestic science fiction is about to be fired.

In the past, audiences across the country thought that "The Wandering Earth" had opened the door to science fiction films.

Unexpectedly, the later film, "The Devil's Fortress," locked the door again.

Jiang Han slowly took his seat and watched the preview screening with everyone else.

What he needs to do next is not just support excellent films.

We must nip trashy films in the bud...
