Chapter 803: North American Premiere (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
The premiere of "Chu Xing's World" in Los Angeles, although compared with "Jurassic Park", the number of stars who came was relatively small, but there was no problem with the quality.
Martin Lloyd, a film critic who is now known as Wu Jianye's first blow in Hollywood, also came to the scene.
"Director Wu, I didn't expect to wait a year to be able to wait for your new movie!" Martin Lloyd said with a smile.
"Haha, there's no way, I'm a slow person to make films!" Wu Jianye replied with a smile.
Martin Lloyd said: "I have dragged a friend to find the report of the movie "The World of Chu Xing" in Xiangjiang and Huaxia, and I saw that the movie was praised, which made me even more curious about the content of this movie!"
In this era, the computer network has not yet emerged, and if you want to know the news in other places, you can only pass it through the print media, but whether it is the domestic paper media in China or the print media in Asia, there is no sales channel in the United States.
For those who think they are superior, there is no need for them to find a way to find the print media of "Chu Xing's World" in China and Asia, in their opinion, the film has actually failed most of the time.
If it weren't for the fact that the director was Wu Jianye, it would be impossible for this movie to hold a premiere here today, or even get the opportunity to be released in mainstream commercial theaters.
And Martin Lloyd was able to specifically look for the introduction of the film "The World of Chu Xing" in China and Asia, and it is obvious that he is worthy of his reputation as the first blow in Hollywood.
"In a few dozen minutes, you will be able to see this movie!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Martin Lloyd smiled: "There is still a little excitement!"
"Haha!" Wu Jianye laughed, he and Martin Lloyd were old acquaintances, and now they saw that he was even cuter than before.
After a few conversations, Martin Lloyd walked into the theater to find his place.
After that, all the stars came to the scene, and Wu Jianye also thanked them one by one, but because the number of stars present was less, the whole red carpet was not long, it probably lasted more than an hour, and it was over.
Zhou Xingchi, He Qing, Chen Hong, and Zhang Guoli sat next to Wu Jianye, looking at the four of them who were a little nervous, Wu Jianye smiled and comforted: "Take it easy, don't be so nervous, the premieres all over the world are actually the same, and you will definitely have more opportunities to participate in such premieres in the future, just relax your mentality!"
Zhang Guoli said in a low voice: "Director Wu, we are not you, this is Hollywood, look at these stars sitting in this screening hall now, Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, James Cameron, ......"
"Okay, I'm not asking you to count stars!" Wu Jianye smiled bitterly.
Although there are no officially introduced Hollywood movies in China, just like Xiangjiang movies, Hollywood movies have long been popular in China through the videotape model at this time, and Zhang Guoli and others are naturally no strangers to Hollywood stars.
At that time, on the red carpet, Zhang Guoli was a little envious when he saw Wu Jianye talking and laughing with these world's top stars, not to mention the relationship between these people and Wu Jianye in Zhang Guoli's opinion, many people were even more surprised when they were talking to Wu Jianye.
Just like when "The World of Chu Xing" premiered in Yanjing, Cheng Long, Zhang Guoqi and others respected Wu Jianye at the scene, at that time, everyone was just shocked by Wu Jianye's influence in Xiangjiang and other places, but they didn't expect that Wu Jianye now also has such a huge influence in Hollywood.
"Director Wu, how did you and these people meet?" asked Chen Hong.
Chen Hong was not very happy during this time, and originally thought that he could have more time to get along with Wu Jianye by following Wu Jianye to Hollywood to promote the movie "The World of Chu Xing", but he didn't expect that Wu Jianye was not the same as them at all, living in a hotel, but also had his own house in Los Angeles, which made Chen Hong never find a chance.
However, the current trip to Los Angeles has also made her see Wu Jianye's influence more clearly, and in Hollywood, Wu Jianye is still a very powerful existence.
Soon the movie begins!
The audience at the scene was immediately attracted by the content of the movie, just like when Yanjing premiered this movie earlier, when these professionals saw the content of this movie, they immediately aroused their great interest.
What's more, even they have never seen the content of the movie.
If there is anything in this that makes them a little unaccustomed, it is that the screen is full of Chinese people, which will definitely affect part of their viewing effect.
At the same time, this movie takes place in China, which will also bring them some obstacles to watching the movie, but fortunately, when choosing this movie, Wu Jianye's fine-tuning of this movie is to make the life of Taoyuan Town, where Chu Xing is located, slightly higher than the domestic level, although it cannot be compared with the top cities in the United States, New York, Los Angeles and other places, but compared with some of their towns, it is almost the same.
Therefore, the gap in the environment is the easiest to bridge.
But what really interested them was the story itself.
At this time, Hollywood comedy movies are actually very exaggerated, and although Zhou Xingchi's performance has converged a lot, it is a new feeling in Hollywood.
As for the two leading actresses in the film, because of the difference in aesthetics between the two places, although they also think that He Qing and Chen Hong are more beautiful, but how amazing they are, it is not enough.
Overall, this movie, in their opinion, the core of the story, is impeccable, and even has a sense of amazement, this is a movie that is very worthy of being watched twice or three times.
This is a movie that uses the content of the story to drive the audience's attention to all the characters in this movie!
Martin Lloyd sat in his place, he could clearly feel his body trembling slightly, it was simply amazing!
"It's a great movie!" Martin Lloyd remembered the definition of the film he had seen in a Chinese magazine!
In order to be able to read the Chinese newspaper, Martin Lloyd specially recruited a local student in Los Angeles to help him translate the content of the print media.
Now Martin Lloyd thinks the same.
Reality or illusion, which one is real?
A great show, a great show, a great story!
Martin Lloyd doesn't know how to describe his mood now, but he knows that he is more excited when he sees this movie than he is when he sees "Ghost Love" and "Jurassic Park".
Maybe there is no way for this movie to surpass these two at the box office, but his content, the core of the story he expressed, and the meaning contained in it have surpassed those two movies.
It's an unpretentious and unforgettable movie!
Ordinary audiences showed a happy smile after seeing Zhou Xingchi's slightly neurotic performance, they may not know who Zhou Xingchi is, but I believe that after this movie, they will remember that in Huaxia in Xiangjiang, there is an actor named Zhou Xingchi!
The movie continued, and when the movie came to the end, when Chu Xing was fighting the storm, there was a burst of exclamations in the movie theater.
This act of rebellion against the powerful was the most bloody act in that era and in that region.
And the Americans who advocate personal freedom are even more so, and their hearts are more eager for Chu Xing to break out of this fictional world than the Chinese audience.
As for what will happen to Chu Xing after he goes out, they don't have the time to think about it now.
Freedom, freedom, freedom!
All they want is freedom!
It's just that over time, this freedom of theirs will form a pathological manifestation, a freedom that is reckless of the consequences, a freedom that is extremely selfish.......
But for all this, Wu Jianye will not pay attention to it!
He just wants to use this place as a place to make money, for example, when the United States was in an economic crisis last year, Yuzhi Investment and Yaoguang Investment both made some moves, buying stocks of some high-quality companies at low prices, and shorting the stocks of some companies by the way.
Although the action is not large, it also has an income of more than two billion US dollars and stocks worth more than 10 billion yuan in the future.......
Finally, when Chu Xing stood in front of the door and said the last line in front of the audience, applause rang out in the screening hall.
Cinema is a connected world that connects the space between one end of the world and the other.
It's clear that "Chu Xing's World" has done just that.
Martin Lloyd hurriedly came to Wu Jianye, held Wu Jianye's hand seriously, and said excitedly: "Director Wu, this is the most wonderful movie I have seen this year!"
Wu Jianye didn't expect Martin Lloyd to be so excited, but he still smiled: "Thank you!"
Martin Lloyd said: "Director Wu, I won't say anything more to you, I'm going back to writing a review of this movie now, and I want more Americans to see this movie!"
What can Wu Jianye say, he can only thank him again!
After Martin Lloyd left, Hollywood movie stars and directors also came over one after another to congratulate Wu Jianye.
Although some of these actors are not good at this kind of feature film, they still have the ability to appreciate movies, and there is no problem with the content and shooting techniques of this movie, which is definitely a boutique among the best.
"Director Wu, this is a very good movie, I personally like it very much!" James Cameron said.
If it is in Xiangjiang, when everyone sees this movie, the first impression will be taken away by Zhou Xingchi, because Zhou Xingchi's performance makes the style of the whole movie less depressing.
Even the overall performance of the movie is very witty.
But on the Hollywood side, everyone's impression of Zhou Xingchi is too unfamiliar, so it is natural to look at the filming techniques and content of this movie with Wu Jianye, who they are more familiar with.
But no matter what, Zhou Xingchi's performance in this movie is indelible.
Not only James Cameron, but also others congratulated Wu Jianye.
After accepting everyone's congratulations, Wu Jianye also smiled and made an appointment with some friends who had a good relationship to have dinner together, but everyone knew that Wu Jianye would not stay in Los Angeles for too long.
This movie has now been officially released in Europe and the United States, which means that after Wu Jianye is busy with publicity work in the United States, he will definitely take the actors to Europe to promote!
After saying goodbye to everyone, Wu Jianye arranged for someone to send Zhou Xingchi and others to the hotel, originally wanting them to rest, but Zhou Xingchi said.
"Director Wu, when will today's box office results come out?"
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "It's probably going to be two or three o'clock in the morning!"
Zhou Xingchi said: "Then let's wait for the box office to come out and then rest!"
He Qing, Chen Hong, and Zhang Guoli also nodded again and again, this is their first movie released in North America, and they naturally have more expectations in their hearts.
At this time, they must not be able to sleep!
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "Since everyone can't sleep, let's go to Phantom Pictures and wait for news!"
The four nodded in agreement.
The car drove towards Phantom Pictures.
When a few people came to Phantom Pictures, Matthew Murphy was already waiting here, in the past two days in Hollywood, Zhou Xingchi and others already knew that Matthew Murphy was the general manager of Phantom Pictures, as one of the most powerful people in Hollywood today, Matthew Murphy was waiting for them here, which shocked them.
But then they understood that Matthew Murphy was not waiting for them at all, but waiting for Wu to see the night!
"I found out that Director Wu is so awesome no matter where he is, Matthew Murphy actually came to wait for Director Wu in person!" Zhang Guoli sighed.
He Qing and Chen Hong nodded in agreement.
They didn't know about the relationship between Phantom Media and Wu Jianye.
Nowadays, the domestic film industry has just begun to be commercialized, and there are obviously many things that they don't understand.
Zhou Xingchi explained softly on the side: "This is actually very easy to understand, Director Wu's two movies "Ghost Love" and "Jurassic Park" shot in Hollywood ranked among the top two in the global box office of all live-action movies, and this kind of money-attracting ability is enough to make the general manager of any film company treat him politely!"
The current status of Zhou Xingchi in Xiangjiang is like this, if Zhou Xingchi himself announces that he wants to star in a movie, and Fengge Pictures does not invest, I believe that the boss of any film company will wave a check to find Zhou Xingchi and want to invest in him.
Under the leadership of Matthew Murphy, several people walked into Phantom Pictures!
