Chapter 124: The Premiere Begins

  "Saving Private Rachel", premiere scene.

  With the arrival of several heavyweight guests, the premiere ceremony was about to begin when Anne Hathaway arrived.

  Although she didn't dress up specially and didn't put on much makeup, Annie's unparalleled beauty and her innate noble temperament still made the men around her stare until their eyes were about to pop out.

  "You've been busy, get some rest now, look at those dark circles under your eyes." After exchanging greetings with Annie Hathaway and others, she whispered to Yi Feiyang and winked at him.

  Baozai Gaojiabao looked at him with a straight face, poking Yifei Yang's back and saying: "Ayang, you're so lucky! I think we live in the same building, in terms of looks, figure, and temperament, I'm not inferior to you in any way. How did Annie, that white swan, fall for you?"

  Yi Feiyang kicked a foot and flew over, the fat man cried out in pain, "Fat man, you mean to say that I am that blind toad?!"

  "No, no, how can you be a toad? You are the majestic Himalayas! The vast western plains!" Fatso begged for mercy. He knew Yifeng's temper, killing people without blinking an eye, kicking people without softening his heart!

  As they were talking, two beautiful women arrived on the scene to congratulate them, Natasha and Jessica.

  Natasha expressed deep blessings for this play, while Jessica remained silent with her mouth closed.

  The more Jessica didn't speak, the stranger Yi Feiyang felt. After all, this girl was notorious for being a chatterbox and loved to talk endlessly. Today's silence made her seem like a different person.

  In fact, after experiencing the absurd things that night, Jessica-Alba had been avoiding Yi Feiyang, because as soon as she saw him, Jessica couldn't help but think of that night's events, and when she thought of it, she was filled with anger, but more so with shyness and difficulty in speaking...

  If it weren't for her good friend Natasha dragging her along tonight, Jessica Alba wouldn't have run into this scoundrel for no reason.

  Yes, Yi Feiyang is a big bad egg, that night he was crazy and scared her to death, now she's still swollen down there.

  As Jessica transformed into a quiet girl, she didn't say a word. Yifei Yang didn't have time to ask her what was wrong, but when Jessica followed Natasha inside, Yifei Yang noticed that Jessica's footsteps were a bit unsteady and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with your leg? Why are you walking like this?"

  Jessica said her first words of the evening, "You bastard!" and then turned bright red and stormed off.

  Yi Feiyang was stunned, and Pangzi Gaojiabao couldn't believe it either. Finally, he sighed and said: "I was just praising you earlier, but now it seems that you're not very likable either!"

  ……

  Tonight, the cinema is packed with people. No one expected that this Chinese director, who was severely criticized by the media for being arrogant and self-destructive, would have such a big face and attract so many big stars to come and support him.

  The crowd watching saw these big shots that they normally couldn't see, and they all discussed whether Yi Feiyang had any connections with them. Their arrival made Yi Feiyang and his Dream Illusion Entertainment company's reputation soar, while the host toP company seemed dull in comparison. Henry Quan, who was like a giant, must have known something, but after all, he was still overshadowed by Yi Feiyang, it's unknown what he thought.

  "Boss, I didn't expect that as soon as you re-emerged, so many big shots would come to give you a boost. Fortunately, we're showing an erotic film; if it were a serious movie, the President of the United States might even show up to join in the fun!" Rabbit Bill stood beside Yi Feiyang, feeling deeply moved.

  ……

  Entering the cinema, this is a large cinema that can accommodate two or three hundred people. The decoration and facilities are quite good, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

  Before the movie starts, according to the ceremony content, Yi Feiyang will simply say a few words.

  A beam of light shone on him, and he stood up amidst applause, saying: "Thank you all for coming to watch my new work. Originally, this work was carefully crafted by me and my good friend Mr. Henry. Unfortunately, not long ago, he passed away due to illness. At the time of his death, he left only one sentence... Let's get this play on stage!"

  Yi Feiyang's mood seemed somewhat heavy.

  "Now, on his behalf, I'd like to thank everyone for their support and also thank you all for your support of ToP Movie Company and Dream Illusionary Pictures. 'Saving Private Rachel' is now officially screening!" Yì Fēi Yáng made a gesture, and the entire cinema instantly went dark.

  After all the lights in the cinema were turned off, a beam of light was projected onto the screen from behind, and people were silent, with only faint breathing sounds coming over.

  Yi Feiyang appeared calm on the surface, but this was not his first work. In fact, he had sweat in his palms and his heart was racing as he sat in the front row. After two weeks of hard work and overcoming many difficulties, the movie was finally released. Whether it would be a success or not would be revealed tonight.

  Yi Feiyang sat in the middle of the third row, alongside Raymond and Gusta, snuggled into their soft and comfortable seats, gazing lazily at the screen.

  The first thing that appears on the movie is the logo of toP Film Company, which is a big difference from the mermaid of Dream Movie Productions. However, everyone knows that this time it's not about watching toP, but about watching the work of "foreign aid" director Yi Feiyang, which is worth looking forward to.

  Of course, there are also some who come to watch the excitement, such as Mike, the manager of Lion's Gate Entertainment. This guy has been diligent and hardworking since he was demoted to warehouse manager after being fired by Easy Fly Yang. Recently, he was called back by Gusta. This time, Gusta brought him over, on the one hand to show his magnanimity, and on the other hand, he also hoped that Easy Fly Yang and Mike could resolve their previous conflicts.

  However, Mike's boss was already fed up with Yifeiyang to the bone, so he looked at this play with a face full of disdain. Next to him, Dennis and Edyaduo, two brothers, unexpectedly appeared in the cinema as well. Of course, they were not invited by Yifeiyang, but came on their own to watch the commotion. At this moment, the two of them whispered to each other, making snickering sounds.

  On the big screen, a line of words appeared: This film is dedicated to Mr. Henry the Elephant in heaven... He was a bad egg among good people and a good person among bad eggs!

  These words were added by Yifei Yang at the beginning of the film, and now they appear here, giving people a sense of heaviness, especially Yifei Yang, who suddenly feels that Henry the elephant is smiling at him with his big eyes.

  "Go on, friend, I'm rooting for you, and this play!" He seemed to be saying.

  "Yes, I will definitely work hard." Yi Feiyang nodded firmly, and beside him, Annie-Hathaway seemed to have read his mind, gently squeezing his hand.

  ……

  The first scene, when the German Nazi flag appeared in the movie, Mr. Raymond and Gusta straightened their backs and sat up, especially Mr. Raymond, who had only heard that this film was a pornographic film and did not expect Yifei Yang to package it as a World War II model.

  As for Gusta, his father was a World War II veteran himself, and from a young age, his dad would tell him stories about the war. As a result, Gusta had always been fascinated by war movies, and when it came to battles, he was completely enamored. He clasped his hands together, and a faint, almost imperceptible smile played on his lips, even his elegant mustache curled up slightly, like a wealthy lady who had just spotted an interesting mink coat in a department store.

  Even Quentin didn't expect that the pornographic film reported by newspapers and magazines would have such a wonderful opening. Just looking at this war scene, although it's not grand and atmospheric enough, it has a very realistic feel, which shows the meticulousness of the photographer.

  Big Brother Cheng Long is not too fond of this type of war drama, especially with the "ghost stories" being told one after another. His poor English has become his biggest obstacle in watching the movie, to the point where he had to make an effort to hold back his yawns and encourage himself to persevere and finish watching the movie, also to show support for his Hong Kong compatriots.

  Apart from this, Mike's supervisor yawned continuously, directly showing his lack of interest in the play. Dennis and Ed were pointing at a woman in the front row, whispering to each other with a sly expression.

  The camera cuts quickly on the screen, shells exploding around, bullets piercing into the bodies of soldiers, heads blown off, wounds, blood, mouths open in despair, desperate eyes, all shots showing the cruelty of war and the insignificance of life. However, this relatively exciting war scene ends soon, and the camera returns to that American utopian-like small town.

  From movement to stillness.

  From the cruelty and bloodiness of war, from the flames of gunfire and smoke-filled skies, to the tranquility and peace of a small town, this stark contrast gives people an indescribable feeling.

  At this time, the audience sitting in the cinema had different feelings. Some people felt that this war drama was almost a cliché, except for its realism and bloodiness, it seemed to have no bright spots. Others thought that this film and "Saving Private Ryan" had a similar charm, how to say, it made people's hearts tremble. Of course, some people also admired Yiyang's editing technique, which could smoothly transition between dynamic and static scenes, not an easy task, especially when conveying different emotions. Regardless of the story, at least from a technical standpoint, the editing was quite good.

  The plot thickens as the once peaceful American town is disrupted by news from the European battlefield. Hunter Old George lets go of the doe that was about to be captured, firing a blank shot that startles his daughter Rachel who is bathing in a nearby stream.

  Rachel's bathing scene in the river water can be said to be stunning, especially her snowy white and smooth 36D, which heavily smashed onto the big screen, leaving countless men dumbfounded.

  Dennis and Edvard, who were chatting on the seat, saw "Rachel" taking a bath on the big screen, and their eyes went blank, their tongues stiffened, they lost their souls, and drooled.

  Test, and also this pair of "breast instruments", this damn Chinese Yi Ke really picked up a treasure! (.)
