Chapter 202

"Holy crap, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Get lost, don't you dare fight me for it."

"Go die in a corner. I'm a man of the streets, you think I'm scared of you?"

"..."

"Man of the streets my ass, I'm a successor to socialism, you're the one who shouldn't fight me for it."

"I'm a college student, give me some face."

"Want me to give you a hammer instead?"

"..."

"..."

Once the Weibo post for the giveaway went live, netizens went crazy and rushed to Qin Yu's Weibo.

They were even calling up friends and family.

To be honest, this opportunity was truly rare.

It was the Great Hall of the People.

Ordinary people really had almost no chance to go.

It would be strange if they didn't go crazy.

Weibo had to urgently add two more servers.

The person in charge was also cursing, "Qin Yu, you guy, can you give us a heads-up next time?"

"Notify us before doing something this big."

The servers almost exploded.

"Bastard."

"Believe it or not, we'll mute your Weibo account and see how you hold your giveaway."

It wasn't just the netizens who were excited; people in the industry were even more so.

Who wouldn't want to go to the Great Hall? Many in the industry had never been, and those who had were few.

After all, that place wasn't very open to the public.

Some big shots didn't care, but the actors and stars were beside themselves.

They all started contacting Qin Yun Culture, trying to get an invitation.

Actually, the Great Hall is really quite large; if they truly utilized the whole space, seven or eight thousand people wouldn't be a problem.

However, for the sake of the viewing experience, Third Master and Qin Yu agreed on only 3,500 seats.

Excluding the lucky audience members, that left 2,700.

Honestly, that number was enough.

But there were just too many people who wanted to go; Qin Yu's phone was almost blown up.

Qin Yu wasn't stupid; he just turned his phone off and ignored everyone.

"Let's communicate via email."

Meanwhile, Fatty Zhou was swamped.

When people couldn't find Qin Yu, they started looking for Fatty Zhou; even many people at Qin Yun Culture were being harassed.

Bai Lu, Xu Zhen, Liu Yifei, and Guo Fan.

That wasn't all; the main cast of *The Matrix* was also being annoyed to no end.

Each of them had been allocated a few tickets.

But they felt it wasn't enough.

How could they give them away to others? It would be great to have the chance to take their own families to see it.

But the people asking were all good friends, and they were incredibly conflicted.

Everyone wanted to go and broaden their horizons, but there really weren't many spots.

It even became a status symbol to show off.

The entertainment industry.

It's just that realistic and cruel.

Just like that, in a lively atmosphere, the time arrived at July 2nd.

The Great Hall began to be decorated.

The premiere was imminent.

Fatty Zhou had also perfectly completed Qin Yu's task.

On this day.

In the morning, many office workers had just woken up and gotten ready.

As soon as they stepped into the elevator, they saw posters for *The Matrix* inside.

[July 2nd, 6:00 PM, *The Matrix* will see you there.]

That wasn't all; after leaving the residential complex and getting on the subway.

They saw the small screens above playing promotional clips for *The Matrix*.

The exciting fight scenes caught many eyes.

After finally making it off the subway, they looked up and saw the huge screens in the city's CBD all playing *The Matrix* trailers.

As long as you looked up, you could see it.

It was an all-encompassing, 360-degree surround.

Finally, arriving at their desks, they picked up their phones to check QQ or browse their spaces.

But unexpectedly, their phones suddenly vibrated.

They clicked to open it.

[Movie tickets dropped from the sky! Quickly use your fortune-making hands to grab a premiere ticket for *The Matrix*!]

[Winning rate as high as **** percent]

Everyone was drunk after seeing this, truly drunk.

"Director Qin, we know, we really know, your new movie is out today."

"Do you really have to do this?"

"Just during work hours, I've seen it several times..."

PS: Extra update is here. Thanks to Yan Zu for the tips and tickets.

Brothers, keep it up.

It's the end of the month soon, the tickets are about to expire.

Ten tickets for an extra update! Double.

197: Live streaming the premiere, the excitement of the Weibo brothers, Liu Yifei: My legs are weak, Qin Yu, hold me up~

Many office workers started complaining on Weibo.

"Damn, Director Qin, enough, really enough. I've seen five movie ads just coming to work today. I'll go watch it, okay?"

"Can you please put away your supernatural powers?"

"..."

"To the guy above, what's that? I've seen it at least eight times today. As long as you look up, you see it."

"Isn't it the same for me? Damn, Qin Yu is making such a big move, I'm really tempted."

"..."

"Everyone, don't rush. I'll go scout the path first, don't fight me for tickets yet."

"Yeah, I'm a college student, I'm free. I'll go test the waters for you guys."

"..."

"Get lost, your abacus beads are flying into my face. It's just a few dozen yuan, you don't need to test it."

"Exactly, I'll go see it too. If it can be held at the Great Hall, it can't be too bad."

"+1"

"+1"

"......"

Many in the audience aren't stupid; if Qin Yu went to such great lengths, and it really turned out to be terrible, he would definitely be cursed to death.

So, there is absolutely something to it.

It’s worth watching.

If it really is as rotten as Master Kai's.

Then don't blame us for being impolite.

On the other side.

At the Great Hall, 5:30 PM; a long red carpet has already been laid out outside the hall.

This time is different from previous premieres; every reporter coming in must undergo a body search.

Even so, it still couldn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm.

A huge number of reporters arrived.

Each one looked excited as they gazed at the magnificent building ahead.

They couldn't help but feel stirred.

Even standing on both sides of the carpet, they weren't as noisy as usual.

Everyone appeared quite quiet.

Even when talking, they didn't speak very loudly.

Are you kidding?

Didn't you see the sentries standing guard not far away?

They have real gear in their hands, so it's better to be careful; don't get thrown out just because you look suspicious.

"Damn, Brother Liu, I'm shaking a bit at this scene."

Xiao Li and Brother Liu also got in; they originally had no chance, but well.

They pulled some strings and treated Fatty Zhou to a good meal.

And managed to sneak in.

"Alright, be quiet, what are you afraid of? We are reporters, not spies."

"But didn't you say we were paparazzi?"

"......"

Xiao Li asked, puzzled.

"Brother Li, look, there really aren't many entertainment reporters coming in. Most are big media outlets and official reporters."

"We're like huskies mixed into a pack of wolves."

"......"

"Stop looking around, it's embarrassing."

Brother Liu was actually incredibly excited too, but he had to stay calm, lest they really get kicked out.

Meanwhile.

At the Capital Hotel not far away.

Qin Yu and the lead actors of The Matrix were also making final preparations.

Everyone’s face carried an expression of excitement and anticipation.

They never expected that one day they would be able to walk on the red carpet of the Great Hall.

Their ancestors must be smoking from the grave.

Qin Yu was fine, though; having seen so much, he felt the leaders were just like that.

Much like ordinary people.

"Alright, I'll remind you one last time: don't be too flashy when we walk in later."

Qin Yu looked at the group.

"Although Third Master said it doesn't matter, we should still be careful and not be too ostentatious."

"Understood."

Everyone nodded quickly; they understood at least that much etiquette.

Some things, others might not say, but if you don't do them, you're a bit of an idiot.

Leaving a good impression is fine, too.

Just after giving the instructions.

Wang Zhangdian, Yu Dong, Zhao Ting, and Zhang Ming all walked in.

Each one was dressed to the nines.

Wang Zhangdian even brought a gentleman's cane.

Suit and vest, not a single piece missing.

Leather shoes polished to a shine.

Qin Yu was stunned when he saw it; what the hell are you doing?

Going on a blind date?

"I say, Brother Wang, is this really necessary?" Qin Yu glanced at him and said.

"Why bring a broken stick~"

"Qin Yu, you don't understand; this is called being a gentleman, it's style." Wang Zhangdian fiddled with his cane.

"I saw on TV that everyone is like this."

Huang Xiaoming, Liu Yifei, and the others present all laughed.

"Suit yourself. If the guards confiscate it later, don't blame me for not warning you."

Wang Zhangdian paused for a moment, thinking to himself, it should be fine, right?

If asked, I'll just say it's a walking stick.

"Alright, let's go."

"Okay!"

Qin Yu led the way, and everyone went downstairs, got into the cars, and headed toward the Great Hall.

On the other side, the guests had already arrived at the waiting area.

Most were people from the industry, chatting with each other, but like the reporters.

Everyone was very careful, not making loud noises as before.

They all appeared very reserved.

Every now and then, they would look up at the building, their faces full of anticipation.

"They're here, Director Qin is here."

"Stop chatting, Qin Yu is here."

"......"

For a moment, everyone looked over. Qin Yu smiled and said.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone."

"It's fine, Director Qin, it's about to start."

"Yes, Director Qin, I'm so excited."

"......"

"It's starting, let's talk after we go in."

"Alright, Director Qin, take your time."

"......"

After exchanging greetings, Qin Yu didn't put on airs and gave the staff a look.

The next second, the music started.

Qin Yu took Liu Yifei's hand and walked onto the red carpet.

A crowd of netizens on Weibo began watching; this time, Weibo had agreed with Qin Yu to livestream the whole thing.

They paid quite a bit.

Qin Yu naturally agreed; let them watch.
