Chapter 106 - Press Conference I
Backstage.
"Wu Fang, what's going on outside? How many people are there?" Su Zhengxiang immediately asked Wu Fang, who just ran back.
Wu Fang was his assistant and he was supposed to arrange this press conference.
Wu Fang raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and after taking a deep breath with his mouth open, he said, "We're finished. Director Su, it's over!"
Su Zhengxiang's heart felt as if it dropped from a high altitude to the cold bottom of a lake. He instantly felt cold. He drooped his head and sighed dejectedly, "No, it's okay. Anyway, I...I don't have much hope."
Although what Liang Zixuan said yesterday was good and he believed her a lot, he still feared it. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment will be. So he kept this foundation in his heart.
"Ah, no!" Wu Fang finally calmed down and held Su Zhengxiang's hand emotionally and said enthusiastically. "Our place is too small! The reporters outside are three times more than we expected. Also, there are a lot of fans, making the venue so crowded that not even a drop of water can trickle through. Right now, it's a mess outside!"
Su Zhengxiang quickly looked up at him. "No way!"
"Originally, we did not expect so many people to come, so we did not set a limit on the number of people that could enter. Now, there are so many people inside, and don't let me talk about those who are still outside. They can't even squeeze in!"
"Hahahaha ..." Su Zhengxiang burst out laughing and looked at the sky. He was very happy and very proud. It's been years since he's been a director, but he's never seen a scene like that.
Wu Fang looked at him and giggled.
Su Zhengxiang slapped his shoulder. "Couldn't you say something clearly? You nearly scared me to death!"
Wu Fang touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "I... I'm so excited ..."
Su Zhengxiang took a packet of tissue out of his pocket and handed it to him. "Wipe your mucus. It's almost in your mouth. I feel disgusted seeing it."
With that, Su Zhengxiang walked towards the dressing room excitedly.
Liang Zixuan, Qin Yu, and Goo Shengli were still wearing their make-up when Su Zhengxiang's laughter came from behind them.
"Hahaha ..Let me tell you some good news. There are a lot of reporters here today, three times more than we expected, and there are a lot of fans out there. This time, you three must show a good performance!"
Due to the make-up, the three didn't dare to have any big expression on their face. They just squinted at Su Zhengxiang in the mirror.
Su Zhengxiang smiled as he walked behind Liang Zixuan. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Zixuan, don't be nervous. We will depend on you today."
Just as Qin Yu pouted, Su Zhengxiang walked behind her with a smile and touched her head as if he were touching a child. "And you, you can do it!"
Goo Shengli thought that Su Zhengxiang would also come and comfort him, but he didn't expect Su Zhengxiang would turn around and leave immediately after saying that.
Goo Shengli was not happy at all. "Director Su, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Su Zhengxiang stopped and looked back. "Don't drag us down!"
Goo Shengli: "..."
The difference between the treatment was so huge.
He was clearly the most popular out of the three.
He was the male lead, yet he was treated with such disdain?
Goo Shengli felt wronged. "Aren't you going to encourage me?"
Su Zhengxiang put his hand on his waist and smiled. "You don't need my encouragement. Of the three of us, you are the most experienced, and you never leave the stage. I am very confident in you."
Goo Shengli was happy at this point. Su Zhengxiang was joking with him just now.
This director was so naughty.
Su Zhengxiang waved at them. "Wear make-up, I'll go to the front desk to look around. I heard that everyone is squeezed to death."
As he walked away, he punched his fists enthusiastically. "If I knew, I would have found a larger arena. I'm really not ready for this today."
Qin Yu glanced sideways at Liang Zixuan as she pursed her lips and smiled. "Zixuan, it looks like our plan has succeeded."
Without waiting for Liang Zixuan to say anything, Goo Shengli interrupted. "Of course! Look at our influence now. We are so famous!"
Would it be fine if he got carried away?
Goo Shengli should take it easy and didn't get too worked up. If the violin hits the wrong notes or the string breaks, they'll skin him!
Su Zhengxiang walked to the front venue to take a look. The situation was just like Wu Fang had said. He immediately asked someone to arrange the venue and put in a lot of plastic chairs.
The fans, who squeezed in, held the lightstick in their hands and held them up, but they were not as messy as what Wu Fang had said. They stood at the back very orderly, and when they saw someone place another chair, they hurriedly refused with a smile. "No need, we just stand. That way, we can see better."
This saved Su Zhengxiang a lot of trouble.
He squeezed through the crowd to the outside of the venue. Sure enough, there was a large group of fans that didn't enter the venue. They couldn't enter.
When has Su Zhengxiang ever seen such a big scene? He found a megaphone and said to fans outside. "Everyone, calm down. I'm the director of this movie. Listen to me."
When some reporters heard that Su Zhengxiang was out, they rushed to bring their cameras and followed him out. When they saw that he was about to say something, they immediately turned on their cameras to take pictures.
The place was immediately quiet. Su Zhengxiang first bowed deeply, then used a megaphone and said, "First, I have to thank everyone for taking the time to participate in the movie's press conference. However, because there are so many people, you are unable to enter the venue."
When the fans heard it, they were really disappointed.
Su Zhengxiang immediately decided. "How about this, to thank everyone for supporting this movie, we can't let you guys come here for nothing. Once the actors finish doing their make-up, I'll let them out and meet you guys first, okay?"
"Alright!"
"Alright!"
The audience suddenly burst into applause. The fans were all excited.
Su Zhengxiang took out his phone and called Wu Fang, asking him to go and see if Qin Yu and her friends had finished their make-up. If they did, then he would let them out first.
The fans kept praising Su Zhengxiang.
"This is the first time I've seen such an easy-going director. He's a good person!"
"Yes, yes! If this was another director, if I didn't have a ticket, or if I was late, I wouldn't be able to get in, and they won't pay attention to us! Unlike this Director Su, I was so moved because he let us see the actors first."
When this person spoke, some of the fans had already begun wiping their tears.
