The world premiere of "Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness" will be held at Shanghai Disneyland - although the rise of "global" is still a little embarrassing, but compared to other domestic films, it is already the most deserved, because it will be released simultaneously in multiple markets in Asia and Europe, and the scale of the release is also considerable. Regardless of the final box office, at least in terms of this schedule, it can already be compared with many Hollywood blockbusters.

"A milestone in the internationalization of Chinese commercial films," Liu Ran showed Ji Ming the screen of his mobile phone: "Look at this source, what about the big newspapers." Speaking of which, I've heard a lot of people say something like that, and your release was a great success. ”

Ji Ming nodded, leaned on the sofa and recuperated for a while.

"You're tired, aren't you? Liu Ran sighed twice: "Come over for a premiere and arrange three musicals for yourself." You've had to perform hundreds of shows of "The Return of the Great Sage", right? ”

"There are so many in the country. ”

"Wouldn't it be more to add a piece abroad? Before, it was said that it was still setting off a frenzy in the island country, and their media seemed to be talking about the revival of Chinese culture and the like. Liu Ran was curious: "Really very popular?"

Ji Ming rubbed his temples: "Almost, the theme of animation, plus Journey to the West was originally well-known in Japan and South Korea, and then the voices of seventy-seven-eighty-eight, including the ones you talked about, are actually a lot of ill-intentioned, but in the end, no matter what, it brought a lot of attention, anyway, we toured the island country for three months, and the venue was basically full, a total of two or three hundred thousand viewers had to watch it, and the plans of other groups in the back were still quite full." ”

"Well, cowhide!"

From the official announcement of the project of "Mountains and Seas" to the upcoming release today, it took more time than many people expected, and it was delayed for a year, and this is already the summer of the third year - where is the time spent, in fact, Ji Ming can't say very clearly, he can only say that the difficulty of shooting such a film is beyond his imagination, and even to some extent it has rushed out of Koi's imagination. From the concept to the technology, all the way to the texture of the things presented, almost all aspects have been overturned and restarted.

Ji Ming's anger, scolding, and quarreling have all set a new record in the crew of "Mountains and Seas".

His own difficult emotional regulation, concept reconstruction, and self-compromise have been unshakably persistent...... All these struggles are far more than any previous work, and the challenges brought are far from what an actor should go through - as the ultimate decision-maker, he has to lead so many people, so many resources, so many opinions, to a finished work, that kind of experience is unimaginable to him before.

But everything went through.

Even if tens of thousands of staff were mobilized and billions of yuan were spent, they responded to all kinds of questions in the form of snowflakes - "miscarriage", "dystocia", "stillbirth", "Waterloo" and "lessons...... Many evaluations that he has never been exposed to since his debut have been received one by one in the past two years.

After all, everything has come to this day.

Soon, a grand film premiere will be held in Shanghai, hundreds of media around the world are waiting for guests on both sides of the red carpet, and hundreds of cameras are connected to all parts of the world.

"Ji Ming, one of China's most acclaimed actors, is about to premiere his new film, titled "Mountains and Seas: Walking in the Wasteland," a commercial masterpiece with traditional Chinese elements that has been tasked with competing with Hollywood blockbusters since its inception – not only in China, but around the world, especially in Europe and Asia, with the exception of China.

China's domestic commercial films have long beaten their Hollywood counterparts in the domestic market, and frankly speaking, this is true, and Hollywood superhero movies like "Avengers", which ranks first in the global box office list, can't even enter the top three box office lists in China. But for a long time, these domestic films that have won big in the Chinese market have not been able to really succeed in other markets, including Ji Ming's sci-fi film "The Wandering Earth," which grossed $800 million at home and only tens of millions overseas.

The "Mountains and Seas" series is the opportunity to change all that, and it will be released simultaneously in several important key markets such as Europe, island countries, and baseball countries, with a sizable film schedule - which basically relies on the reputation and trust that Ji Ming himself has gained in these markets, and his films "Mo", as well as the musicals "Mo" and "The Return of the Great Sage", have been extremely popular and successful in these places. And the theme of traditional Chinese culture has also been added to the background in some Asian countries - perhaps, as many observers say, this is the closest to the success of the internationalization of China's domestic commercial films. ”

– This is a report from the United States.

The high-profile Chinese film "Mountains and Seas: Walking in the Wasteland" will have its world premiere in Shanghai, China, followed by a European premiere in Rome and a tour of Paris, London and Tokyo...... This epic is based on the traditional Chinese classic The Classic of Mountains and Seas, which constructs a continent of mountains and seas, records a large number of magical species, and possesses all kinds of incredible abilities – does it sound very similar to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings?

The filmmaker's and star actor Ji Ming has made it clear that while he prefers to call this series "Mountains and Seas" series, he would also be honored if someone called it the Chinese version of "The Lord of the Rings" - because in the process of filming this Chinese myth, he has taken a lot of inspiration from the "Lord of the Rings" series of films, and he is amazed by the outstanding work of the team led by Peter Jackson. He obviously does not shy away from saying that in the process of leading Chinese films to the world, he is willing to learn from the experience and lessons of the pioneers.

For European audiences, Ji Ming is probably the most familiar and recognizable Chinese actor in decades, having won the Cannes Performance Award, Venice Best Actor, Italy's David Award, France's César Award, the British Academy Film Award, and the Laurence Oliver Award, Europe's highest award in theatre — even for a European actor with a great reputation. The enthusiasm shown by European audiences for Ji Ming is obviously expressing an attitude that the dull pattern of European art films + Hollywood commercial films has lost its freshness - Ji Ming's appearance makes up for this.

Of course, it will be only after the final release of "Mountains and Seas" that it will be able to truly win the hearts of British and European audiences. ”

- Report from the United Kingdom.

"Chinese actor Ji Ming, who has set off a whirlwind of drama in Neon with the musical "The Return of the Great Sage", is about to bring a new film work - as the most well-known actor in China and internationally, this young and handsome member of the life victory group, even in Neon, has a large number of fans. As the most important film market in Asia outside of China, this new film will also be released simultaneously on Neon, and Ji Ming's followers will see it for the first time, just like Chinese audiences.

The new film is set in the neon "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is also familiar to neon audiences, and tells the story of a young man who walks in the wilderness full of gods and ghosts to find the legendary saint to fight against the mastermind behind the mutation of the world......"

- This is from the media of the island nation.

Even judging from the intensity of overseas mainstream media coverage, the attention that "The Great Wilderness Chronicle" has attracted is quite rare.

Overseas is terrifying, let alone domestically, just tonight's premiere is quite amazing.

The premiere of "Chronicle of the Great Wilderness" is the first time that Shanghai Disney has arranged a themed movie premiere, and the audience who enters the park during the day can see the materials of "Chronicle of the Great Wilderness" everywhere, and the standard of the venue is not inferior to the much more experienced Disneyland of California - in fact, the team in charge is transferred from Disneyland of California. In order to open up this market and further strengthen the construction of the Disney brand in China, they also spent a lot of money and made a lot of moves to get their wish.

Ji Ming can rest for a short time, including Liu Ran, dozens of participating actors, hundreds of invited guests, red carpet, seating, press conferences and so on, it is definitely a big project - Yang Ruyi, as today's main landlord, is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, although Ji Ming doesn't have to pay attention to too many specific affairs, but things are absolutely indispensable.

When the colorful lights fill the entire Disneyland, on both sides of the red carpet, the palace lights are swaying, just like day.

Ji Ming was the first to walk on the red carpet.

On the white suit, there is a crane dotted with ink, the white silk hangs down from the right shoulder, like a crane wing, a crystal red-crowned crane decorated with yang green jade stands on the right shoulder, trembling slightly, the long beak is dotted on the side of the earlobe of the right ear, and the earlobe is a jade stud...... Plus the face that maintains the state at the top, and the poignant elegance of the buff full open......

The audience was stunned for a while.

"Haha, Ji Ming is really the last to sell. Mr. Song and Yang Ruyi muttered quietly.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Ji Ming's red carpet is a must in the entertainment industry, especially the red carpet that he attaches great importance to. And this time, as Mr. Song said, Ji Ming paid twelve points of attention, from the shape of the clothes to the makeup accessories, all of which were carefully designed to make people fascinated.

The red carpet has been completely drowned by flashes, and Ji Ming feels that he is almost blind, but he still has to remain elegant, but fortunately, he can cope with it with the addition of external plug-ins.

Not far away, Chu Qing, Tan Ziyang, Chu Qingqing and other relatives and friends occupied a good position to watch the red carpet, and it was only after a period of silence that they let out a long sigh.

"At the beginning of the year, if you live with such a person every day, will it be particularly unrealistic?" Chu Qingqing's tone was in a trance, even their friends in life have reached this point, not to mention those fans on the Internet, looking at Ji Ming's beautiful pictures day after day, and then ushering in a heavy blow like today, it is possible to vomit blood and die on the spot.

Chu Qing looked at Ji Ming, who was becoming more and more unreal in the flash, but found that she really didn't have any sense of unreality, what that person was like, not because he was more handsome today, or sloppy, but because there was any change in her heart.

She's just, a little ...... Proud.

"Tsk, you see her smiling, where can I feel real or unreal. Tan Ziyang pouted.

Well, probably not a little pride.

"Haha, it's pretty handsome. ”

"Pretty handsome? When you say that, be careful of being beaten. Tan Ziyang rubbed his ears, which had been bombarded by Ji Ming's fan screams: "Hurt your ears, hurt your ears, what do you say he is thinking, is it over quickly, or is it so cool, so enjoy this feeling of being in the limelight?"

"I guess it's hot. ”

“...... Hahaha. ”

Those who know how to laugh, the lights on both sides of the red carpet are really strong, plus so many people, it must be hot.

As the host and the number one target of reporters tonight, Ji Ming stood on the red carpet for a rare ten minutes, almost stopping one step at a time, so that the guests from all sides took a clear picture and heartily - to satisfy the guests.

There is Ji Ming on the red carpet tonight, but not just Ji Ming, "Mountains and Seas" has attracted the attention of almost all online actors, and sometimes, such as sharks, such as fox clans, etc., these still have requirements for appearance, so this drama is also Ji Ming's work with the most fresh meat traffic - as a commercial film, you can see Marvel Superhero to know the criteria for casting.

When they collectively go on the red carpet, there is no need to say much about the ornamentality.

At this time, Weibo has ushered in a long-lost explosive moment.

From the moment Ji Ming stepped on the red carpet, the popularity soared to the peak at 90 degrees, and the Weibo that had been prepared for a long time went down directly, but it quickly recovered, and then there were waves of impact, like a carnival - in the past two years, there is really no movie that can release everyone's enthusiasm so much, after all, from the beginning to the present, too many expectations and appetites have accumulated there, waiting for an explosion.

"Gathering of the Immortals!"

"Made, just for these faces, it's worth spending dozens of dollars. ”

"Ji Ming is really getting older and more handsome. ”

——“...... Ji Ming is only 25...... It is the time when a man is at his prime. ”

- "Hahahaha, Ji Ming is angry. ”

- "Landlord, I understand you, do you have the illusion that Ji Ming has debuted for decades?"

"Ji Ming really let how many ancient sayings male protagonists have their own faces. ”

- "Hahaha laughed to death, over the years, countless Shufen have been shouting that Ji Ming is the so-and-so in my heart, but it's a pity that none of them have acted. ”

- "Don't worry, after today, Station B Scissorhands will definitely be powerful." ”

The tide of discussion content among netizens quickly turned the popularity of the premiere to billions and tens of billions, including various news, reports, analysis, and comments from major on-site media and online media, focusing on fashion bloggers with red carpet styles, entertainment bloggers analyzing the ranking of coffee positions, and digital machine bloggers who joined in the excitement to analyze the fans holding up their mobile phones, who used the most......

"This premiere itself has transcended its function and become such a phenomenal carnival of such breadth and depth...... The pressure is now back on Ji Ming, who has brought everyone's expectations and attention to the extreme and peak, just waiting for the main dish to be served. Whether it is a mountain or a mountain high, the return of hundreds of rivers to cast a new legendary story belonging to Ji Ming and domestic films, or a new stroke of foreign strength and middle work on Ji Ming's brilliant resume - all look at the scenery behind the scenes. ”

The main dish of the premiere, of course, was not the red carpet, but the world premiere for nearly 1,000 viewers and media.

Putting on 3D glasses and looking at the IMAX screen, the audience found their "Mountains and Seas" The journey starts with a strange little ant, under the green moss on a jet-black rock, this strange pattern of two ants sniffed left and right, walking and stopping, suddenly, a long tongue passed through the dense fern, accurately hit it, the camera pulled, a turquoise three-eyed toad, crawling in the fern bush, after eating the ant, its eyes turned, jumped to the edge of the swamp, the camera pulled back, a giant fish with bone spurs all over the body quietly swallowed the three-eyed toad, and then dived into the waterhole, under the waterhole, the aquatic plants grew wildly, like a primeval jungle- Soon, the calm of the jungle is disturbed by a barefoot descending from the sky, and the giant fish with bone spurs is also crushed between the toes, hidden by hair and sharp nails, and the camera quickly rises and pulls back, and a one-legged giant pinched a giant log, as if stepping on a small pool, passing by a swampy lake.

At this time, the picture turns from static, and the one-legged giant quickly chases a hideous pig beast, startling the ancestral bird-like bird, and the long-tailed beast snoring not far away opens a line of scarlet giant eyes......

Wild wilderness, mysterious and terrifying.

Obviously, in order to show the difference between small and big, Ji Ming did not hesitate to spend nearly two minutes at the beginning, and these delicate special effects shots, in the eyes of those who care, are stacks of RMB, and even houses in second-tier cities.

This is called Seiko.

Tut.

Seeing this, in fact, many people have let go of their worries, just with this level of special effects and aesthetic understanding, "Chronicle of the Great Wilderness" is enough to set a precedent for domestic special effects, especially mythological special effects films - there are two trends in domestic special effects films, one is the gamification of Xianxia, most of which are embarrassing, and are considered to be inferior to Xu Laowei's "Shu Mountain" decades ago. The other is Westernized, mutated monsters based on the appearance of various dinosaurs, with sharp fangs and claws, and thick skin with scales.

The former is too off-the-ground and completely unable to resonate, and the latter is too archaeological and completely devoid of the romantic factor of oriental mythology, and how to achieve unity between the two and create an aesthetic standard that truly belongs to oriental mythology is one of the biggest problems encountered by Ji Ming, and it is also one of the most time-consuming problems.

Obviously, he did it, and the whole team did it.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" gives them many specific image elements, such as Qiqi, which looks like a tiger, but has hedgehog hair and barks like a dog. This makes them not necessarily limited to the dinosaur family, but can take elements from animals all over the world - these familiar and unfamiliar images, with the kind of design language that hundreds of art professionals have constantly adjusted and tried, fat but not greasy, and seductive but not glamorous.

It's so convincing.

There is not much to explore in itself about a simple story of Xingji, only the word fluency can be evaluated - extremely smooth, with almost no urine spots. Escape, fight, start a new journey, the switch of the large environment and the micro-environment, all kinds of complicated and unflustered appearances, all of them are just right, as if compared with a ruler, leading all the audience into this new world of mountains and seas, and experiencing all these unbelievable beasts and environments- Until out of the mountains and seas, into the wilderness, far away, dense tribal stone houses and grass huts, the cliff wall carved with rough totem stone carvings, that is the snake tail of the human saint, but also the destination of their trip, the end of the lens is a hot tribal life scene, and after the lens is infinitely raised, in the clouds of the world a few dignified places, this star light seems to say, the road to salvation has just begun......

Yes~~

After watching it, too many people have time to take a long breath, and then look at each other, and they can't imagine the last time they watched a movie so attentively.

“...... It was only after the curtain ended, feeling the lack of oxygen in my brain, the paralysis of my muscles, and the confusion of time, that I realized, oh, this movie has done a certain extreme that a commercial film can do — it draws everything you have in your seat. ”

Although there are no film reviews to go out for the time being, including many hints that are not suitable to say, some bloggers still say some on the side.

"How to say it, before watching it, you were already looking forward to a gorgeous, but after watching it, you realized that the carnival or something is too rudimentary. ”

It is a more exaggerated leap forward than "The Wandering Earth" for domestic science fiction films. ”

"I didn't expect it to mature to such a point. ”

It is worthy of being a movie that Ji Ming spent more than two years making, and it took him more than two years to remind me that adding a piece of "Mo", "The Wandering Earth" and "Falling to the Immortals" did not take him more than two years. ”

"Those who want to see Ji Ming's acting skills explode will be disappointed, but the audience who wants to experience a mythical feast will be very satisfied. ”

"Reality and myth are handled with the utmost care. ”

"It has to be Ji Ming, it has to be Ji Ming!"

It's done!

From these veiled hints, almost everyone understands that Ji Ming has become again, at least in China. Too much to worry about, it's no longer necessary at this point. In fact, there are really a lot of worries, although the project is large, many times these worries are suppressed, but they are widely present in everyone's hearts.

For example, one of the previous bloggers said.

Ji Ming certainly has successful commercial masterpieces, but he has not controlled commercial films, he has controlled art films - and in a commercial film, the main control focuses too much on performance, which is often fatal. Who cares about your micro-expressions, which of your fingers is hooked, what's the difference? There are three points of disdain in the eyes, four points of confusion, and one point of grievance, one point of determination, and one point of relief—what the hell?

If "Mountains and Seas" does this, it will be too much to worry about, and with Ji Ming's resume, this is very possible - until this moment, people who are worried about this kind of worry will not put their minds at ease.

Ji Ming didn't make a big mistake.

As always, he understands when and what kind of performance should be given, without being dragged down by the aura of the actor, which is commendable.

"Taking a few steps less in this movie is far more difficult than his acting explosion, and it also tests his ability to control different films. At this point, we can say that Ji Ming is already a fully mature filmmaker. - One-eyed entertainment reporter commented.

In fact, this kind of movie, where heaven and earth work together, it is difficult to worry about the word-of-mouth of the premiere - before it is released, you just say bad things, do you want to make a feud?

So we still need to wait for feedback after the release.

The next day, "Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness" was officially released worldwide!
