Chapter 167 August 1st

On the evening of August 1st, the car slowly stopped at the gate of the premiere theater of Return to the Blue Coral Reef.

Old Mike unzipped his jacket halfway, got out of the car, put one hand on his abdomen, half-stretched his fingers into the zipper, looked around slowly and calmly, and then opened the door with the other hand.

Song Ya adjusted her dress, got out of the car with a smile and waved.

"APLUS!"

"It's APLUS!"

The screams of fans on both sides of the red carpet came to my ears, "APLUS! Will you and Mira collaborate again?"

"APLUS! Do you keep in touch with Mira?"

The fans at the scene were overwhelmingly fans of Mira. After Mira became popular, Columbia Pictures added an additional 2 million promotional expenses to the movie. The focus was to attract these people to the cinema. Those who yell at Song Ya are all young female movie fans. They like to express, and they are even more crazy about star chasing. The film company usually arranges them in the front row. In the back row, they are more reserved. Many people still have cameras around their necks, and they are not very interested in the male guests present.

Song Ya and Mira, whether it is the media or fans, mostly only care about two things, whether he will write songs for Mira again, and the actual relationship between the two.

"APLUS, are you here for Mira?" Walking through the red carpet, Song Ya was guided to the press area by the staff.

Old Mike was always kept between him and the fan reporter.

"Yeah, I've had a great time working with her. Last time I was in Los Angeles, she told me about it at a party, and I said yes without hesitation."

"Will you work together again?"

"If there is a chance, look at the opportunity. There is no clear plan yet."

"Have you seen this movie beforehand? Or have you seen Coral Island starring Brooke Shields ten years ago?"

"No, I haven't seen either, you know, I spend most of my time writing songs, performing, promoting, writing songs, acting, promoting. But I know Mira, she will definitely give everyone the best performance .”

"What do you think of the rest of the cast?"

"Uh... To be honest, I don't know them very well, I only met them once at a party. They are all very nice people. Director Graham is very thoughtful and personable.

Brian Krause is also very handsome and we chatted for a while. "

"Talk about your new song 'Trumpet,' and what do you think of the recent Cooper and N.W.A thing? You and Cooper are friends, right? You were at his Boys on the Block premiere."

"I'm friends with Cooper, but I don't think it's convenient for me to say anything about the grievances between him and N.W.A. After all, I debuted very late, and I really don't know about the past between them. As for the new song, I can talk about it later. I can't wait. Want to see this movie."

Song Ya was counted as one of the guests with a relatively large celebrity and fan base. The interview went on for a long time, and he cooperated very well. When he entered the theater, he was stopped by Yeremov, the person in charge of the film's publicity. The other party was in good spirits. But his eyes were bloodshot and there were thick dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he was under a lot of pressure recently, "Thank you for coming to APLUS." He offered to shake hands.

"Are you okay? Will this movie be a hit?" Song Ya asked.

"It's okay, we tried our best to do what we should do, and the rest is to see if the audience buys it or not." Yeremov smiled wryly.

Song Ya was taken to the front row of the theater by him, and he greeted the actors and guests he knew and didn't know. Just as he sat down, there was a higher decibel scream outside, mixed with male fans' high-pitched voices. Say hello, 'Mira! Milla...Brian! ’ It seems that the leading actors and actresses have arrived.

Milla wore a blue satin evening gown today, which is pure and conservative. It seems that Columbia Pictures pays more attention to showing fans her girl idol side. After she and Brian Krauss came in, the director and other cast and crew stood up In front of the screen, the on-site host made a small interview, which was uninformative, mostly talking about their hard life on location on an island where modern services are lacking.

"Taveuni Island? Che, it's like a paradise there. Is life really hard?"

In the back row of Song Ya, a middle-aged white man wearing thick tortoiseshell glasses whispered disdainfully. When we introduced each other just now, he seemed to be a very famous film critic named Ken France. His words attracted several film critics next to him. People echoed the laughter.

Mira was really nervous, and she didn't dare to look at Song Ya. When it was her turn to speak, she used a lot of modal particles such as um, but no one laughed at her, after all, she was at that age.

At the end of the interview, Mira and others returned to their seats. The two were a little far apart. She turned her head and said hello to Song Ya before the theater lights dimmed.

The screen lights up, and the classic Colombian goddess of the torch appears in front of the audience.

After Song Ya watched the movie for more than an hour quietly, she was a little worried for Mira.

This movie is very similar to the feeling he felt when he first heard Little Lowry's single shortly after time travel, that is...it's really not good to watch (listen), as an audience or listener, this first instinct is very telling.

First of all, it is impossible to see that this movie is a production of tens of millions of dollars. It is even rougher than the block boy with a production cost of 6.5 million dollars. Although its film crew will go to the South Pacific to shoot, but the block boy There are far more actors than that.

The level of the director Graham is also very problematic. Whenever there are more than two people in the picture, the texture of the TV series will appear strangely on the wide screen of the movie. It is reminiscent of him being a TV movie director before. He is responsible for such problems. There is absolutely no escape.

The age of the male lead, Brian Krauss, is as predicted, and being with Mira is like a brother and a sister, and there is no feeling of childhood.

Mira's performance is still old, her facial expressions are not vivid, and she looks like a boy when she frowns...

The screenwriter is also poor. Of course, Song Ya has watched the old version of the 1980 movie Coral Island of Youth beforehand. This remake has more characters and related plots than the old version, but it deviates from the theme of the youth film, which is completely superfluous.

The only thing worthy of praise is the part where the male protagonist is alone, but with the jewels of the old version of Brooke Shields in front, except for the improvement in image quality and shooting technology, other aspects are not as good. Mira is indeed not as beautiful as Brooke Shields back then, let alone Lu Not as much as the other party...

Song Ya stood up and continued to applaud with everyone. He didn't know how many of these people were as polite as himself, but they should be much more professional than him, such as Ken Frans behind him, "very wonderful movie." He He smiled and said to Yeremov who came to greet him.

Maybe as Meera said, people look more beautiful in the mirror than in reality. The cast and crew and Columbia Pictures staff were very excited, and they lined up to shake hands with the guests and film critics with smiles from the bottom of their hearts. grateful.

"See you at the celebration party."

Mira walked up to Song Ya, the nervous look on her face disappeared, she smiled happily, and by the way, she scratched his palm while shaking hands.
