Chapter 272: "District 9" Mainland Premiere (3rd Update)
On February 12, 2004, Sony Columbia International Studios, the imperial capital, the premiere of "District 9"!
At 4 p.m., four huge posters of "District 9" hung on the walls outside the studio, and the red carpet was already crowded with reporters and fans.
Soon someone walked on the red carpet, attracting constant photos from the media.
Originally, Han Sanpin also discussed with Chen Hao whether to hold a large-scale premiere in the Great Hall of the People like "Hero".
But Chen Hao thought about it and gave up, with the volume of "District 9", it still can't be compared with the historical status of "Hero".
Chen Hao also wants to hold such a sensational domestic premiere, but "District 9" is not enough!
However, there will definitely be enough movies to compare with "Heroes" in the future, and it will not be too late to hold it then.
So, Chen Hao finally put the premiere of "District 9" in Sony Columbia's new 5-star cinema in the imperial capital.
"This is Robert Downey Jr., the star of "District 9", I heard that before Chen Hao brought him, he was an addict, and his reputation had long been notorious, if it weren't for Chen Hao, his life would have been ruined!"
"Chen Hao is really awesome, he can actually put the mud on the wall!"
"Look, this isn't Li Lianhua, why is she here! Haotian and Huayi are the biggest competitors now!"
"Damn, Fan Jinsuo is also here, and there are already two of these four Dan Shuangbing!"
"Sure enough, the third one, Xun Gongzi is also here, and now Chen Hao's name is so loud, everyone wants to tie up with him!"
"Yu Dong and Wang Changtian are here together, this is Chen Hao's ally!"
"I'll take it, Han Sanpin is actually here, this face is too big!"
Not only were the reporters surprised, the celebrities and artists were shocked, but Chen Hao was also inexplicable, why did he always like to do surprise attacks, and he didn't say hello before coming.
"Senior, why are you here in person!" Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Why aren't you welcome!" Han Sanpin asked with a smile.
"How come, it's just that I'm not prepared for this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to entertain the seniors!" Chen Hao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Han Sanpin pointed at Chen Hao, "You kid, making a good movie is the best hospitality!"
"Then I'll rest assured, this is my strength!" Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Hahaha...... I hope you kid does what he says. Han Sanpin smiled, "Okay, you go get busy, I'll go in by myself." ”
After Han Sanpin entered, all the artists and bosses stood up to greet each other, and the pomp was much greater than Chen Hao's.
Fortunately, Han Sanpin did not take the lead, signaling everyone to take it easy, and he came over in person just to express a gesture.
Chen Hao greeted Xu Shanzheng and his wife, Chen Kun, Xiaohu, Yan Danchen, Gao Yuanyuan, Dong Xuan and others outside.
When the time came to 5 o'clock, I returned to the theater.
The host of this premiere is still looking for Liu Yiwei, who has cooperated several times, and acquaintances are easier to use.
"Welcome to the premiere of "District 9", directed by internationally renowned director Chen Hao and nominated for 4 Oscars, I am the host Liu Yiwei!"
When Chen Hao heard the internationally renowned director, his old face turned red, this is a bit too much!
"Next, let's invite the main creator of the crew to talk to us about this movie!"
In fact, the main creators are Chen Hao and Donnie, and the others, Chen Hao did not invite.
"Director Chen, tell us what tidbits are during the filming process, and what touches you the most?" asked Liu Yiwei with a smile.
"If I have to say that I am most moved, it is the refugee camps in South Africa that have touched me the most. Chen Hao thought for a while and said, "District 9 was filmed in a refugee camp in South Africa.
Many people who haven't been there probably can't imagine the poverty there, full of crime, drugs, gangs, and oppression.
For this reason, the crew hired more than 50 security forces, so it didn't make everyone feel safe enough, and everyone left there as soon as the filming ended, which everyone should feel after watching the movie. ”
"South Africa is the only developed country in Africa, is it also chaotic there?" asked Liu Yiwei.
"Not only South Africa, but also the United States is no better, and you can only know how safe the country is until you have been there yourself. Chen Hao shook his head and said.
......
The interview lasted about ten minutes, but Donnie always made everyone laugh because his Chinese language was really hilarious.
After the interview, the theater gradually darkened.
The golden dragon flashed, followed by Haotian's "Ritian" animation, and the Statue of Liberty in Sony Columbia!
The screen lights up, and the premiere of "District 9" officially begins!
The film opens with a news report about aliens, interspersed with media interviews, and the camera even shakes a little.
"This looks exactly like a real-life interview!"
"yes, it's like watching the news at home!"
"It's true!"
......
The film's pseudo-documentary shooting method makes it very novel for fans in the mainland who are not used to this kind of shooting, and the sense of substitution is also stronger.
Soon, everyone knows that a spaceship came to Earth many years ago, but in the trembling of mankind, it is discovered that there are millions of alien refugees in the spaceship.
Although they have far more advanced and powerful weapons than humans, their society is like bees, the queen bee dies, and only a swarm of worker bees remains, and the lethality is greatly reduced.
However, these weapons must have alien genes to activate, so humans cannot use them.
At first, everyone was very polite to these aliens who looked like prawns, but as these aliens committed more and more crimes and harassed people's lives, the international community was miserable.
At this time, a company appeared and took over the task of alien relocation and resettlement.
The male protagonist Donnie is from this company and was appointed by his father-in-law as the head of the mission.
It can be seen that humans are very disgusted and indifferent to aliens, and Downey even killed alien eggs in a show-off way.
The armed forces that followed were even more dissatisfied with the aliens, so they shot them at will, and the fans who watched them frowned slightly.
Soon, however, Donnie was infected with an alien fluid, and then his body mutated, and his body parts continued to become aliens.
At this time, Donnie's father-in-law was hiding from his daughter to conduct live experiments on Donnie, wanting to use his genes to achieve the effect of using alien weapons.
Donnie finally took the opportunity to grab the alien weapon and escaped from the laboratory, and in order to avoid being caught again in the experiment, he could only run to the alien gathering area, "Ninth District"!
Downey's body was still mutating, and this time was as long as 72 hours, and he felt hopeless and helpless in the gradual transformation from human to shrimp.
Watching himself gradually become the alien he hated the most, his spirit almost collapsed, and he kept begging his wife to tell her not to give up on him.
At the end of the film, Downey fights humans in order to cover the aliens' departure.
However, compared to the ruthless humans, the aliens seemed more humane when they left, "Wait for me, eight years, I will definitely come back!"
At the end of the film, Downey has completely turned into an alien, sitting on the garbage heap, looking so lonely and desolate.
Only the flowers folded in his hands look beautiful and fly higher and higher in the sun!
At this point, the whole film is over!
