Chapter 133: It’s starting, it’s starting
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
The entrance was covered in people. Even the parking lot were filled to the brim.
Ye Qing took a spin inside and finally found two rare parking spots with some work.
The spot was right in the middle of a bunch of super cars like a GTR, a Porsche 911, and a Benz SLK 280. However, those were all only beginner super cars, the most expensive one was an Audi, but it didn’t even make up for half of his bodyguards’ ride.
When Ye Qing and DouDou arrived at the entrance, a massive poster was hanging from the center of the hall.
It was for Xu Ninggong’s newest movie, [Past Love].
In the trailer, Xu Ninggong starred as a high schooler, while the leading male was smart and good looking, yet poor. He stealthly fell in love with her and didn’t think that she also stealthly fell in love with him as well.
It was just that the male lead was poor to the point of not even being able to afford breakfast. The several times he actually gathered the courage to approach her, he would always give up in the end due to his empty wallet. In addition, how could he ask her out when he couldn’t even afford a bowl of hot and sour soup? What? Was he going to hope for her to pay?
Thus, he could only go to the place she always goes, sit there with his bun and preserved vegetables, and daydream.
The poster had pictures of eight different actors. Right now many of the to be audience members were ignoring the security blockade and pulling out their pens to sign the poster.
Ye Qing also brought a pen as Xu Xiaohu had asked him to help him get a signature since he was busy with the exhibition, so naturally Ye Qing agreed to this little task of his.
DouDou was in a sky blue flower petal dress today, and had a backpack. There were many young bystanders that were stealing glances.
Most of the people who came to watch were couples. Generally, when the male of the pair was this focused on something other than her, he would be in for painful punishment. However, they currently didn’t have the time to pay attention to their guys as they all fiercely stared at Ye Qing.
Well, who let Ye Qing be this big of an attention magnet with his two NBA like bodyguards?
“I bet this movie’s going to have a poor box office. There’s going to be many good foreign films releases this summer that people will undoubtedly watch.” Ye Qing, who doesn’t like these pure romance films at all, complained to DouDou.
“Romance films are comparatively cheaper to make. If they can get 200 million in the box office, then the investors will have already made something.” DouDou, seeing Ye Qing complain, chuckled: “However, the main song in the movie is actually quite nice to hear. Xu Ninggong’s song composing skills was praised to be one of the best, and I personally love her songs.”
“Though I don’t know whether or not I’ll be able to get a signature when this is over.” DouDou said looking forward: “I’m a loyal fan of hers, and I even know how to sing all of her songs.”
“I can too, hahaha ~ ” Ye Qing scratched his head: “My nephew also asked me to help him get a signature. When the premier ends later, there’ll definitely be a signing event, so I’m also going to get one.”
When they entered the theater, Ye Qing left his two bodyguards outside.
The seats DouDou got weren’t bad. Wanda Theaters didn’t have something like a VIP chamber, so the best seats were basically the front row. Good for watching the people, but terrible for watching the movie.
The two seat beside Ye Qing were empty right from the beginning.
This row was most likely for all of those who got tickets through connections. When Ye Qing sat down, DouDou was even greeting some fellow colleagues.
At 7 PM, the lights started to dim.
A group of reporters were squatting on the carpet in front of the stage flashing away with their cameras like mad.
A giant billboard poster slowly dropped down, then the entire audience in the theater all screamed the name Xu Ninggong.
A premiere naturally meant that before the movie begins someone needed to come forward and receive an interview from the host.
Ye Qing was still a bit nervous, since finally, after ten years, he was able to see his first love again.
Thinking about only one person for ten years generally only happens in romance clips. Ye Qing’s first love naturally wasn’t kept, as he liked and loved a couple other girls afterwards.
However, Xu Ninggong was still his first love. When Ye Qing was in grade 10, Xu Ninggong had already attended the televised national youth singing competition. That entire summer, Ye Qing was able to watch her on China music channel.
