Shana immediately said angrily, “I am not a good friend of yours! We didn’t even talk much”
Han Zhuoli was at the side and smiled as he watched Lu Man tricking Shana.
However, based on how well he knew Lu Man, he knew that this was happening because Lu Man liked Shana as a person.
If not, Lu Man wouldn’t even bother to trick Shana.
Lu Man had once told him that Shana was quite similar to Zhang Xiaoying.
When they were against you, they would be stubborn fighters.
However, they weren’t really bad people.
They wouldn’t use any tricks and were very righteous.
Lu Man didn’t think this was an issue.
When it was a competition, one should indeed treat people seriously and compete fairly.
“This means that we are a good match.” Lu Man said, “Even though we haven’t spent much time together, we are still able to be good friends. This is very much meant to be.”
Shana replied, “…”
She really couldn’t win any argument with Lu Man.
Shana gnashed her teeth and said, “Even though you said so, I am still not going to promote the movie if I don’t think the movie is good.”
“Of course.” Lu Man placed her arm on Shana’s shoulder in a carefree manner. “I can’t just let you lie.”
Han Zhuoli narrowed his eyes and moved Lu Man’s arm down. “If you want to talk, just use your mouth. You don’t have to put your arm on her shoulder.”
Han Zhuoli immediately added, “You can only touch me.”
He even said it in English, just in case Shana didn’t understand.
Shana: “…”
She couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Shana looked up at the sky. Han Zhuoli and Lu Man were married for many years now, but they are still such a loving couple.
This was torture.
Lu Man smiled and held Han Zhuoli’s arm, immediately appearing more well-behaved.
The group entered the cinema hall together.
Names were stuck on the back of the seats, allowing people to take their assigned seats.
Lu Man’s team was arranged to sit in the front row.
Because it would be more convenient for them to go on the stage after the movie ended.
Honestly, it would be really scary to sit in the front row when you were watching movies.
You would have to look up the entire time. Because the screen was really near and it was a 3D movie as well, you could get dizzy quite easily.
There were a couple of times Lu Man gave in and closed her eyes for a little while. She relaxed her eyes and didn’t watch the movie.
The movie finally ended.
When the credit scene started rolling, loud rounds of applause started sounding in the entire hall.
“Nice. It is very good.”
“I didn’t expect this movie to be made so well.”
“I am very interested in the author of the book. Is there a translated version? If it is as remarkable as the movie, I would like to see the book. If possible, I would like to buy the rights to the book.”
“This is a movie suitable for every culture.”
“There are flaws, but no movie is filmed perfectly. Even movies made by famous directors have some flaws.”
“Yes. There are flaws, but this movie is amazing.”
When the credit scene ended, the lights in the cinema hall were turned on. The emcee then invited Han Zhuofeng and the other main cast actors onto the stage.
They shared lots of behind-the-scenes stories.
“I even specially came to Hollywood to ask a director to teach me.”
“We didn’t have a lot of funds, so we were trying to do a good job with the special effects while reducing the costs as much as possible.”
“To reduce the cost of the CGI, we shot a lot of the scenes in those exact places shown in the background. I appreciate my country for having so many magnificent sceneries.”
“In the movie, there are many scenes that showed the actors visiting different planets. For those scenes, the movie was shot on location, and no CGI was used. We only did editing work in the end.”
“This is my first time directing such a huge production. I was really worried that I might not be able to find the right balance, and I was worried that the rhythm wouldn’t be right or that I wouldn’t do a good job at storytelling. I was scared of these things, but I was never scared of one thing—bad CGI work. And this is because we partnered with a very excellent CGI company, Ledepic More.”
“My family members provided all the funds to make this movie. Because I am just a newbie, investors didn’t trust that I would do a good job at directing this film. No one had faith that the movie I directed would have a good box office return.”
“In fact, I didn’t believe in myself. But my family believed in me. The funds to make this movie came from my pocket as well as from my family members. All four of them gave me the money from their personal accounts.”
“I am very grateful for their trust and support. If they never believed in me and never supported me, this movie would have never been made. We wouldn’t be showing this movie to all you film professionals today.”
Whether this movie eventually turns out successful or not, we have given blood, sweat, and tears to this movie. My team and my family are proud of this movie.”
“Initially, I only planned to show it in my country. I was only confident enough to show it in my country.”
“However, my two elder brothers disagreed. I was worried that this movie wouldn’t be suitable to be shown in a place with a different culture from ours. However, my elder brothers were willing to bear the risk and insisted on releasing this movie overseas.”
“This movie has received so much support from my family. My eldest sister-in-law is the makeup artist for the movie, and she didn’t charge a dime. My second elder sister-in-law Lu Man started filming not long after she had given birth, and she didn’t charge me a dime as well. My good friend Yan Zhiqing, who is just like an elder sister-in-law since she had started dating Elder Brother Xiao Cai, joined the team as the female lead, and she didn’t charge me a dime, too.”
“My elder brother Xiao Cai’s company was in charge of the CGI. Of course, we had to pay, haha.”
At that, everyone sitting in the hall laughed.
They thought that the CGI work was done for free as well.
But at the same time, the wealth that Zhuofeng’s family possessed shocked everyone.
Of course, they didn’t think it was weird. After all, it was the Han Corporation.
If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have been able to do what Han Zhuofeng had done.
Whose family would have members capable of investing because someone ran out of money to make the movie?
A movie cost hundreds of millions to create.
Han Zhuofeng would be the only one.
There would be no one else in the world with such a family.
Even if it were someone whose family was rich enough to invest, would they even trust their child?
Spend hundreds of millions to make a movie that could flop?
They would never trust their child. However, when the Han Family gave the money, they didn’t even think about the movie becoming a failure.
Subconsciously, everyone felt a little admiration.
Admiration for the Han Family’s unity…
It wasn’t just an investment. Every member of the family that could help joined the crew without charging anything.
“Elder Brother Xiao Cai’s CGI work is expensive. I can’t let him lose money just to help me. And so, I paid only for the cost of the CGI work.” Han Zhuofeng smiled and said, “It’s basically free.”
Everyone in the audience’s sitting area laughed.
“I have said everything about this movie. If you have any questions, please go ahead,” Han Zhuofeng said.
Unexpectedly, the reporters bombarded them with questions.
As for issues encountered while filming the movie, Han Zhuofeng had many things to say about them. The reporters had questions about many things to say as well.
There were even film connoisseurs asking questions about the things in the movie that confused them.
