Chapter 39: Invading Superman 2!
"What movie is this?"
"I don't know, never heard of it..."
"Holy crap, 'Sun Wukong Battles Superman 2', what the hell is that? Better than 'Superman 2'?"
"This movie, holy crap, so ruthless?"
"This..."
"These people are way too bold, actually daring to challenge 'Superman 2' publicly here, isn't this basically declaring war?"
"..."
The eight o'clock sun was bright and brilliant.
Under the sunlight.
Countless media and fans instinctively looked at the van not far away!
That van was very broken...
The wheels were rusty, the tires had cracks, obviously an antique.
On the van's roof sat a large speaker, looping a funeral-like soundtrack on one side while shouting phrases like "Good news, good news" with a very loud voice, just like a street stall selling cabbage or a mall promotion.
Beside the van doors were plastered with all sorts of chaotic promotional posters.
Among these posters was Sun Wukong's majestic and domineering appearance...
There was Superman with a pixelated face, looking mighty and powerful as he lifted an airplane with one hand...
Next to the posters, in the most conspicuous place, were written characters from various countries, including 'Sun Wukong Battles Superman 2' understandable to everyone, as well as English versions, French versions, Japanese versions...
Even more shamelessly, some text wrote a line: 【Crushing 'Superman 2', shocking global release!】
When seeing this line!
Everyone was stunned!
What exactly are these people doing?
Immediately, the next moment, countless people with cameras and video cameras rushed over here.
They keenly realized there was big news!
…………………………
"Can't you start the engine?"
"Can't start it!"
"This..."
"Damn it, I said we should check when driving the van..."
"Who knew it would be like this!"
"Don't open the window, don't open the door, let's just stay here and wait for repairs..."
"..."
Inside the van.
Seeing more and more fierce security personnel and excited media rushing over, Shen Long and Shen Hu instantly panicked.
Huddled inside the van, trembling and too scared to come out.
The original plan was, at this time, to drive the vehicle around 【Huaying International Cinema】 to gain some attention...
If those people didn't come over, they would drive slower; if those people charged over, they would hit the gas and run!
Using the strategy Director Zhou mentioned, 【Enemy retreats, we advance】, 【Enemy advances, we retreat】, to the fullest, thus promoting the film to gain some attention while ensuring safety!
But...
Damn it!
Who would have thought this van would break down right here!
"Hello, may I ask what you mean..."
"Drive away quickly!"
"Hello, we are reporters from 【Southern Entertainment】, is it convenient to ask, what exactly is this movie of yours?"
"Hello, I am Lin Chong, a reporter from 【Yanjing Film Daily】, I want to know, what is your purpose here?"
"Hello, I heard 【Huasheng Brothers】 is very dissatisfied about not getting the rights to 'Superman 2'... are you sent by 【Huasheng Brothers】?"
"..."
The reporters swarming over, as if seeing some big news, surrounded the van completely under Shen Long and others' panicked expressions.
The lights outside Shen Long's window...
Suddenly made him open his mouth, his mind going blank!
This sudden incident left him not knowing what to do...
And Chen Jianfeng, sitting in the driver's seat at this very moment, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, constantly trying to restart the engine, but damn it, this broken van was completely dead.
He originally wanted to find a car repair or tow truck number, but after flipping through the class register for ages and asking Shen Long and Shen Hu, these two 'wolong and fengchu', for ages...
He suddenly realized...
This van was borrowed by Director Zhou from 【Suling Auto Repair Shop】, and the number for 【Suling Auto Repair Shop】, besides Director Zhou, they simply didn't have!
Moreover, others simply didn't know the tow truck number...
Looking at the crazy media outside the window...
Chen Jianfeng's face turned pale, hearing wave after wave of loud "Good news", "Good news" in his ears, he swallowed hard.
But, at this very moment, he dared not open the car door to turn off the horn on top...
What if these people dragged him out, and then...
Then he!
Just as Chen Jianfeng felt on the verge of collapse...
Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure pushing through the crowd in the distance.
Upon seeing that figure, Chen Jianfeng was damn near ready to cry!
President Zhou has finally arrived!
…………………………
"Sorry!"
"Sorry, make way!"
"Make way, sorry, our van broke down; we have no intention of causing trouble, we simply broke down!"
"If there are any questions, everyone can ask me; I am Zhou Yang, the general manager of 【Xuan Shi Entertainment】, and the movie 'Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2' was produced by us..."
"Yes, yes!"
"This is a film we poured our hearts and souls into... combining Eastern martial arts combat with Western fantasy and sci-fi elements..."
"We truly aren't here to cause trouble, we..."
"..."
Not far away.
Deng Hairong's face was gloomy as he stared ahead.
What had he seen?
He had seen that familiar 'Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2'!
Yes, it was that epic-level terrible film that had left him utterly stunned inside the cinema!
He had originally thought...
These young people would, at most, make a bad movie to trick a few viewers, or perhaps sell some VCD discs at best!
But who could have expected...
These young people who play by no rules!
Not only did they plaster small advertisements everywhere!
But, damn it, they even showed up on the spot to crash the event!
At this moment!
His blood pressure skyrocketed!
He stared fixedly in the direction of the van.
At this very moment, almost everyone's attention had been drawn to that dilapidated van shouting "Good news, good news"!
Then, countless lenses and cameras pointed at that van, filming frantically, while several young people hid inside, not daring to come out or accept interviews.
Just as this stalemate continued!
He saw a young man wearing a suit and glasses desperately pushing his way out from the crowd!
Facing the cameras, that young man appeared flustered, yet somehow kept squeezing himself into the most prominent spot within the lens's frame.
While waving his hands desperately as if refusing any interview, his face was crazily thrusting into the camera, looking damn much like someone trying to have their cake and eat it too.
"Stop filming, stop filming!"
"It was all an accident!"
"Yes, it was all just an accident!"
"We originally intended to promote our movie..."
"But we never expected that the van would suddenly break down!"
"We really have no choice; I'll call right now!"
"Sigh..."
"Does anyone here know how to fix cars?"
"If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have driven a van!"
"Yes, yes, believe me, we are a group of young people chasing dreams; we absolutely have no intention of causing trouble..."
"I will immediately turn off the loudspeaker above!"
"Big brother security guard, don't get excited; I'll turn it off immediately, immediately!"
"Oh my, why is this damn loudspeaker also broken? I damn well said we shouldn't have bought this kind of second-hand loudspeaker..."
"Does anyone know how to fix loudspeakers? This one is broken; pressing the power button isn't working!"
"..."
When he saw that young man "flusteredly" climb onto the van door trying to turn off the loudspeaker...
But instead of turning it off, the loudspeaker only got louder and louder, so that even from far away one could hear "Good news, good news"...
He was so angry his whole body trembled!
"Leave this to us! You go in first; we'll handle it..."
"The premiere time is about up..."
"Okay!"
Just as Deng Hairong was about to do something...
He saw a staff member hurrying over with a rushed expression.
Deng Hairong finally nodded.
Leading a group of people, he marched grandly into the cinema.
But as soon as they entered the cinema...
They heard someone hurrying over.
"General Manager Deng... did we print the wrong text on the hand soap dispensers and toilet seats we prepared?"
"What wrong text?"
"In all the restrooms at Huaying International Cinema, why does every hand soap dispenser bear the sentence 'Watch Superman 2 at Feihe Cinema'?"
"????"
