Chapter 1345: Chapter 506: Geely: I’m Here!

After chatting, Qin Miao naturally agreed to Guo Fan’s request to support the movie tomorrow, after all, if the movie makes a profit, Qin Miao can earn money too, right?

After settling the plans for tomorrow, Guo Fan left satisfied.

Guo Fan was actually quite relaxed at the moment.

At least before taking his movie to the battleground on the last day, he had completed all the preparations he could currently make.

He had done everything humanly possible as part of "doing your best and leaving the rest to fate," and the outcome now was up to destiny.

The next day, Qin Miao went to the screening venue in the morning.

However, Qin Miao didn’t come out directly from backstage to receive an award like the main creators such as Guo Fan; instead, he was sitting in the audience waiting.

Similar to Guo Fan and the others, Qin Miao also wore a white hoodie with The Wandering Earth 2 logo on it.

But Qin Miao’s outfit wouldn’t seem out of place at the screening venue, because today all the invited attendees to the screening received this outfit; some kept it away while others, like Qin Miao, wore it.

Qin Miao would take the stage as a specially invited guest.

The screening soon began.

However, the screening didn’t start with the film right away; it required the main creative team to come on stage to say a few words, introduce the journey of shooting this film, and then proceed to the movie screening segment.

The following procedure naturally went according to plan.

Qin Miao sat in the audience watching with interest, since he participated in it, and many of the things Guo Fan and the team talked about were experiences Qin Miao himself had.

After discussing these matters, Guo Fan suddenly changed the topic on stage.

"During the filming process, many friends actually helped us, such as Jing, Andy Lau..."

"And today, someone who helped our crew greatly has come to the scene." The host enthusiastically responded on the side, "Oh? Who might that be?"

Guo Fan, on cue, gestured towards Qin Miao wearing a mask and sunglasses in the audience: "Well, let’s have him come up and introduce himself to everyone."

Then Qin Miao stood up, holding a microphone, and walked to the stage.

Qin Miao was worried at first that appearing this way would lead to an awkward moment where fans wouldn’t recognize him, wondering, "Who the heck is this guy?"

But Guo Fan dispelled Qin Miao’s doubts.

Though Qin Miao hadn’t been in China for three years and might not have a clear understanding, his influence in China had actually grown significantly.

Chinese people have always enjoyed hearing about compatriots achieving great results in foreign-dominated projects, let alone in a top-tier motorsport like F1.

Having won two world championships, along with the support from CCTV and other promotions behind the scenes, Qin Miao’s influence among the public now rivals the peaks of Yao Ming and Liu Xiang.

Though not everyone in the country might recognize Qin Miao’s face, at least everyone has heard of his name.

So when Qin Miao took the stage, the audience was initially curious, wondering who this person with the hat, sunglasses, and mask was.

Then when Qin Miao got alongside Guo Fan and took off his disguise, many young people in the audience were instantly thrilled.

"Huh?"

"Qin Miao??"

"Damn, wasn’t this guy just staying up late gaming in Shanghai a few days ago? How come he’s here now?"

"Did Qin Miao act in The Wandering Earth 2?"

"Wow, seeing Qin Miao in person!"

...

Seeing such a lively reaction from the audience, the host continued, "Looks like many people know this guest, so why don’t you introduce yourself?"

Qin Miao picked up the microphone and waved to the movie fans present: "Hello everyone, I’m F1 racer Qin Miao."

In an instant, the journalists who were still somewhat stunned, and the movie fans who didn’t know Qin Miao’s face, suddenly realized who he was.

Flashes and smartphone cameras flickered all around.

Applause erupted simultaneously, and many even stood up from their original seats, gazing at Qin Miao on stage in shock.

After the fans buzzed for a while, they gradually calmed down under Qin Miao’s gestures of pressing his hands down.

"Judging by your reactions, I’m guessing you’re quite familiar with me," Qin Miao joked with a smile, and then amidst the laughter said, "Of course, I’m not here today in the capacity of an F1 driver. Qin Miao, who came here today, is just fortunate to have starred in a domestic sci-fi movie. I sincerely hope everyone enjoys this film."

Applause erupted instantly.

Then the questions naturally revolved around Qin Miao.

Even during the on-site Q&A, many questions were directed at Qin Miao.

In fact, the reporters strayed off-topic to ask questions aimed at Qin Miao.

With the experience of thousands of interviews from the racing circuit, Qin Miao managed to steer the topic back to today’s movie each time.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Qin Miao and the others went off stage to watch the film.

Qin Miao indeed came with anticipation for The Wandering Earth 2, curious about which scenes of him remained in the film since it was his first time acting in a movie.

But quite honestly, the film was indeed well-made, so Qin Miao quickly became fully engrossed.
