in the office, only solomon and lu qi were left.
after coming to the window and confirming that defan got in the car and left, solomon, who looked sad, changed his expression suddenly, smiled and teased lu qi:
"alix, your acting skills just now weren't very good!"
hearing this, lu qi's original expression of bitterness and hatred turned into a smile. he shrugged and spread his hands, "no way, who made me not a professional actor..."
"it's you, the performance just now, you can almost directly play the leading role in the movie."
hearing lu qi's flattery, the old man was obviously very happy.
"hahaha..."
after laughing a few times, solomon was still somewhat worried, "do you think that bastard believes it?"
waving his hand, lu qi said casually:
"don't worry, you've seen the smug look on his face when he left... he must have thought we were all set."
"besides, he and the female assistant are both laymen like me. how can you know that the advancement of film technology has reached the level of making use of green screen for reshoots, and copies are everywhere."
lu qi's words, like a powerful reassurance, entered solomon's heart, which made him feel a lot at ease.
"that's good..."
what de fan and jasmine had never expected was that lu qi and solomon, who had been indignant and helpless in front of them just now, were actually acting!
in fact, lu qi and solomon discussed a way to prevent defan from destroying the movie by talking on the phone long before solomon went to get the movie sample after defan came to the door.
that is to act a play, let defan believe that there is only one film for the movie sample!
anyway, in the eyes of two laymen, de fan and jasmine, the film that is about to be finished is the only film. as long as the film is taken away, solomon will not be able to finish the film, which is the purpose of their large insurance payout.
however, it is not.
even if the sample is lost, it will have little impact on the completion of the film!
lu qi knew this fact, solomon knew it, but de fan didn't! his right-hand man, jasmine, didn't know either! !
as a result, lu qi and solomon came up with a plan and asked defan to take the sample, making him believe that his plan had been successful.
this will paralyze defan and buy enough time for the next editing and release of the movie.
thinking of this, lu qi couldn't help looking at solomon and asked:
"by the way, how about the editing? can it be completed within this week? we have to release the film as soon as possible, lest he react and use other means to mess with us."
"i've had people speed up the editing, and it should be possible to finish editing the film before the premiere."
"that's good. there are still a few days before the premiere. you'd better let michael stay by your side for a few days to make sure that everything goes right."
hearing this, solomon's eyes lit up and snapped his fingers, "good idea! i can show him * by the way and discuss the plot of the movie with him."
"whatever you want, i'll go first, if there is any situation, then contact me."
"thank you, alex."
hearing the thanks coming from behind, lu qi raised the corner of his mouth, then raised his right hand, waved it gently, and walked out of the office without looking back.
. . .
maybe lu qi and solomon's acting skills were too realistic, or maybe it was because defan didn't continue to trouble solomon because he felt the outcome was decided.
in this way, the editing and release preparations for "crash crisis" are also being carried out in secret.
a few days later, news of the impending premiere of "crash", the last film before Solomon Richards's retirement, spread all over hollywood!
as the only legendary producer left in the circle, solomon has been in the industry for many years and has a wide network of contacts.
for a time, throughout hollywood, the actors and directors who had been supported by solomon spontaneously cheered and vigorously promoted this old man's retirement work.
all entertainment news and movie-related media have also been dispatched one after another to hype the movie to the public.
the headlines such as "classic works of legendary producers" and "crash crisis" - movies you can't see this year" have made "crash crisis", which has not yet been released, the most watched movie.
and the upcoming premiere has also become the outpost of the media chase!
. . . . . .
premiere night.
the oriental theater on hollywood boulevard.
at the entrance of the theater, the shutter sound and flashing lights continued, and it has become a lively large red carpet area.
"ahhh!"
"milton, i love you!"
"jesse, i'm going to have a baby for you!"
...
the hollywood stars who received the invitation were interviewed by reporters and media while trying to pose in various poses amid the frenzied screams of a large number of fans behind the fence.
among them, the most eye-catching is the popular fried chicken and "hollywood sweetheart" lacey varnas.
she wore a rose red v-neck haute couture dress tonight, turning into a glamorous goddess with flaming red lips,
yan pressure qunfang.
and the lucky one who is accompanied by such a beauty is a handsome asian young man in a black suit, with neat and oily hair.
"hey, lacey! look here!"
"lacey, put on the sexiest pose!"
"lacey, what is your relationship with the man beside you? are you a couple?"
pulling lu qi's arm, lacey accepted the interview with the red carpet host with a full face:
"mr. mars is the producer of this film. as his good friend, i am just here to express my support, not what you think..."
"you talk first, i'll excuse you..."
allowing lacey to take photos and interviews with the media, lu qi couldn't help but greet him when he saw michael walking down from a long limousine car.
"hey man!"
after a passionate hug with michael, lu qi discovered that his family was the one who came to the premiere with michael!
jimmy, trish, and amanda were all dressed up to attend. the funniest thing was that jimmy, the fat man, was wearing a suit and tie on the upper body, but sports shorts and a pair of basketball shoes on the lower body.
such a match is simply a mudslide in the mix and match world!
seeing the intimacy of amanda holding michael's arm, lu qi immediately understood everything.
it looks like michael has reconciled with his family and they are very proud of michael's transformation into a filmmaker...
that's fine, at least when michael goes home, he doesn't have to be alone, drinking alone, crying alone...
at this time, solomon, with his female companion, came out of the theater and saw lu qi and michael who were talking. he couldn't help but open his arms and greeted warmly:
"oh! michael! alex!"
"solomon!"
the two went up to them, opened their arms, and hugged solomon each.
"hahaha, we succeeded!"
"yeah! we made it!!"
looking at michael and solomon, they were as happy as two jumping children, lu qi couldn't help but smile slightly and echoed:
"yes, we fucking made it!!!"
