314: Chapter 314 All Relatives and Friends Arrive

Lin Chuyan did not stay in Hong Kong for long and quickly hurried back to Beijing.

At 7:30 in the evening, they had another premiere.

This one would also invite quite a few friends from the industry.

However, Director Du Qiyu had already invited everyone he needed for the Hong Kong event. For the Beijing event, he handed the entire guest list over to Lin Chuyan to invite them himself.

Consequently, all the good friends Lin Chuyan had collaborated with, as long as they were in Beijing, basically all came.

Like the editor-in-chief of the magazine *Elegant Echo*, and Zeng Jie from the *dreamer* program.

Of course, most of them were from the entertainment industry.

Director Zhang Qian from *seven days of pursuit*, and Qiao Wei, the Little Potatoes who was always chasing his CP.

Director Yang Yang from *drama*, Zhao Xiaojun who played the Old Emperor in the film, and the female lead Shi Shilan.

Director Liu Zhi from *the hovering blade*, the male lead Zhao Jinpeng, the female lead Xin Ya, and Producer Zhang Man.

Director Han Xiao from *the long season*, along with his brother Su Su, and he even invited Master Huang who taught him sword techniques.

Director Chu Dong from *pegasus 2*, and the leads Dong Peng and Qu Zhen.

Zhou Ze, who played An Xin in *the knockout* crew, along with several villains from the Qiqiang group, like Xiaolong, Xiaohu, Old Mo, and Crazy Donkey, all came.

Besides the entertainment industry, there were also people from the music scene.

He Xi, Wawa, Zheng Hai, Sun Yiyi, and Boss Zhu from NetEase Cloud Music.

The brothers from *happy re-departure* also came; these old babies just happened to be in Beijing to rehearse for the Spring Festival Gala.

Teacher Li Mujian and his wife Zhou Xiaomei, as well as his senior brother Zhang Wentang, naturally needed to be arranged in good seats.

As for his girlfriend—not to mention his girlfriend—Lin Chuyan had even invited his girlfriend's parents...

As for his own parents, they had returned to their hometown after traveling and stated that they would watch this episode of *dreamer* on time at home, so they wouldn't fly over specifically for this.

Lin Chuyan thought this was fine; it was better to let his girlfriend meet his parents first before arranging for both sets of parents to meet, which would be more appropriate.

Adding in the various media outlets that Wu Yue and Xia Zhi had invited, the event was all set.

However, even though they were all media friends invited, they still couldn't stop the scalpers.

After all, the price they offered was simply too high...

They weren't fans, so choosing between seeing Lin Chuyan for a moment or choosing cash—wasn't that a very simple multiple-choice question?

Lin Chuyan and the creative team arrived at the cinema at 7:30, just as the movie was starting.

Although he was mentally prepared, the scene outside the cinema truly gave him a shock—girls, it was all girls, surrounding the cinema so tightly that not a drop of water could get through.

"Brother Yue, why are there so many people?"

Wu Yue glanced at him sideways: "You guess why there are so many people?"

Lin Chuyan was between laughter and tears: "I know they are my fans, but this is too exaggerated."

Xia Zhi shook her head from the side: "Brother, it's not exaggerated at all. It would be strange if there weren't this many people. Besides, it's 7:30 in the evening, not school or work time, so even more people can come."

Lin Chuyan didn't know what to say: "Sigh..."

He felt bad for letting the fans wait like this without getting to see him.

He couldn't run out specifically to meet them. With so many people, it would really cause chaos.

Xia Zhi seemed to know what he was thinking: "Brother, some people can still see you. They can buy tickets for this screening—scalper tickets."

Speaking of this, Lin Chuyan got angry: "Xia Zhi, go find out how much these scalpers are selling them for."

Xia Zhi nodded and went out. When she returned, even Lin Chuyan couldn't help but gasp.

"Brother, they buy them for around 5,000 a ticket, and when they sell them, it's basically around 10,000."

Lin Chuyan: "..."

Wu Yue patted his shoulder: "Stay calm. You aren't the only one who can sell at this price. Some fans of big traffic stars can indeed afford it. Feng Liqian could sell at this price a few years ago, though he probably can't now. In short, the scalper price can reflect some things from the side; whether you have fans, or to put it another way, whether you are popular, it's clear at a glance."

Lin Chuyan nodded. The few of them didn't say anything more, walked through the underground parking lot, and entered through another door to avoid the fans.

The host and the creative team were chatting, basically about the flow of the event shortly.

The host would first have them introduce themselves, and then leave all the time to the audience below—first letting the friends and family express their opinions and feelings, and then giving the media friends a chance to ask questions. Finally, each creative team member would say one sentence to promote the movie.

This whole process would take half an hour.

The post-screening time, half an hour is about enough; any longer wouldn't be appropriate.

Lin Chuyan raised his hand: "So, we just stand there and listen? Is it enough to just say a few words at the beginning and end?"

The host was a bit speechless—was Lin Chuyan's desire to express himself a bit too strong?

"... Teacher Lin Chuyan, isn't there a Q&A session later? Rest assured, there will definitely be plenty of questions for you."

"Got it."

Lin Chuyan stopped talking, but waiting backstage was boring, so he couldn't help but message Ruan Xingyu, who was watching the movie.

"Is it good? Confess honestly, did you cry secretly?"

Unfortunately, Ruan Xingyu didn't reply, probably because she was watching the movie intently...

So Lin Chuyan was even more bored.

Fortunately, the movie was only an hour and a half long, so the wait wasn't too long.

After a while, a staff member came over to greet them and let them know it was time to go.

...

This screening was quite special for Lin Chuyan.

The reason was simple: most of the friends and family he had met since coming to Blue Star who could make it had come.

He didn't know why, but he felt a bit like a student whose homework was being checked—after all, his teacher was truly watching from the audience.

Besides his teacher, there were also his girlfriend's parents. It was fun to invite them at the time, but now that he thought about it, having his future mother-in-law and father-in-law watch him fall in love in the movie with other girls who weren't their daughter... it was a bit brainless.

However, all these emotions were put aside once they entered the cinema hall.

Applause, cheers shouting his name... Lin Chuyan's eyes began to scan the audience, looking everywhere for people he knew.

After a round of self-introductions, the host began to cue the people in the audience.

Li Mujian did not hold back his praise for his apprentice: "Since the relationship between Xiao Yan and me was exposed, many people have asked me why I took him as an apprentice—of course, nobody asks that anymore."

"Xiao Yan has a very high talent for Acting, and coupled with his handsome looks, he is naturally cut out to be a male lead. I dare to assert that even if it weren't for *a moment of romance*, he will definitely be able to win a Best Actor award in the future."

Zhang Wentang: "I just finished collaborating on a movie with my junior brother. He is a young man who takes Acting very seriously, and I hope there will be more young people like him in the future. I also want to pay my respects to Uncle Da; I believe he contributed an outstanding performance in this movie."

Su Su: "Lin Chuyan snuck off to Hong Kong to film without me and didn't call me. I have a big issue with that. Yanzi, pay attention next time. Also, you are too handsome in this movie! I always thought you were only that handsome because I set you off... I misunderstood."

Director Han Xiao: "Xiao Yan, I thought the role of Fu Weijun was your peak, but it turns out there is always a higher mountain. I can only say that Director Mu Sheng and Sir Du are awesome. Wishing you a big box office success!"

Director Chu Dong: "I assert here that the famous scene of Xiao Yan riding the motorcycle will definitely go down in film history and become a screen classic! Also, Director Han Xiao said it well, there is always a higher mountain, don't forget I have another one here... So Xiao Yan, when are you coming to 'bang' with me? Don't forget what you promised me!"

After the friends from the film and television industry finished speaking, the host started to cue the music circle.

"Where is Teacher Ruan Xingyu? Teacher Lin Chuyan also invited his girlfriend today, Teacher Ruan, please say a few words too!"

For a moment, there was an uproar in the audience.

Alright, alright, alright, Lin Chuyan, you really won't let go of any opportunity to show off your affection, right?
