Chapter 523: The Strongest Premiere in History
On the afternoon of Saturday, July 22, the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2" was held at the National Stadium in the capital.
Compared to the desolate premiere of another time and space, this version is grand and unprecedented.
Wu Jing didn't know how miserable his "Wolf Warrior 2" premiered in another parallel universe. There were no big celebrities in attendance, probably because they were afraid that Wu Jing would be exposed and consume his popularity.
The people present are all not very popular stars, such as the famous actor Guo Tao, although he can be called by the audience, he can't talk about any traffic.
There are also Zhou Xiaoou, the lead singer of the Black Panther Band, and non-famous actors Bai Kainan, Shen Ling, Qiao Dashan, Dai Lele, etc., are not particularly famous.
The only one who is called a big name, I'm afraid that the only one who is with Yu is Mr. Guo, maybe it's for the sake of Brother Qian's cameo.
What's even more interesting is that the 5 billion celebration party of "Wolf Warrior 2" is even more deserted than the premiere, and the stars are either afraid of getting too close to Wu Jing and offending the big financiers, or they don't have the face to go to the scene, which is also quite interesting.
But this time, Lu Lin wants to give this record-setting film, a star-studded premiere that will be remembered by the world.
The stadium, the oversized IMAX screen is too common, and what can attract the attention of the world is naturally the star-studded stars.
But one of the people invited by Lu Lin was Teacher Ma Yun who "destroyed Ahri Jack Ma".
Speaking of a busy person like Mr. Ma, his first reaction must be to refuse. He is a boss with a net worth of 100 billion, and when he attends the premiere of a movie, he will probably feel a little cheap.
But Lu Lin knew that he had participated in the premiere of the movie, and in another time and space 19 years, the 91st Oscar Best Film "Green Book" premiered in Beijing, and Ma Yun went to watch it in a very low-key manner.
It just so happened that he was sitting in the front row of Jing Yan, and I don't know which one the reporter left a photo for.
The phone called to explain the intention, and Ma Yun really shirked something, but Lu Lin was so easy to be fooled, and he talked with this for a while.
The gist of it is: you can make a short film for a few days, and you don't have half a day to attend the premiere, which is unreasonable. Moreover, Wu Jing is helping "Gong Shou Dao", even if you don't come, Ahri Company will send a heavyweight over.
Ma Yun can get to this point today, and making friends with him is inseparable from his powerful connections, seeing that Lu Lin knew that it was not easy to refuse, he immediately changed his tone, and said very openly that he would definitely be there on the day of the premiere.
In terms of business predators, except for Ma Yun, Lu Lin has not had much contact, and then Song Ge came forward to invite.
And he mainly invited the showbiz, several major directors, Zhang Yimu, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, and Lu Lin, who are known as the top five directors in the mainland, Lu Lin called them one by one.
Except for Jiang Wen, who was busy filming the post-production of "Evil Does Not Suppress the Right", he was really unable to attend, and the rest agreed to attend.
On the side of the bigwigs of the film and television company, no one from the China Film Department attended because of the competition in the same period of "The Great Cause of the Army", but Lu Lin invited the former chairman Han Shanping out.
As for Bona, Guangxian, Huayi, Wanda, Leshi, Penguin, Ahri, Hengdian, Ruyi, Buyihu, Bad Monkey, etc., all CEOs or executives attended.
On the celebrity side, there are basically old friends who have cooperated or intersected with Longlin Pictures, including Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Huang Xiaoming, Nie Yuan, Deng Chao, Tong Lihua, Yang Mi, Yang Tianbao, etc.
The guest lineup of the entire premiere ceremony is comparable to a domestic film festival. It's even stronger than some less popular movie lineups.
On the red carpet of the National Stadium in the capital, a popular movie star walked up from time to time, and the audience couldn't stop screaming and taking pictures, excitement and accidents coexisted.
"Oh my God, how can there be so many stars? This premiere lineup is too strong!" said a photojournalist outside the guardrail outside the red carpet.
The colleague next to him said: "I heard the staff on Long Lin's side say that Director Lu wants to have the strongest premiere in history!"
"The lineup is so exaggerated, aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face if the box office is bad?"
"If the word of mouth collapses, the box office will not be good, but it will be the scene of a large-scale car accident!"
A female reporter said: "What is a car accident, this level has to be regarded as a Titanic hitting an iceberg!"
"The asteroid hit the earth, I think Director Lu has always been reliable, the box office of this film may explode!"
"The Wandering Earth" is only 4.7 billion, and "Lich War" is still on the way to hit 40! "Wolf Warrior 2" costs only 300 million, can it be better than "The Wandering Earth"?" the female reporter analyzed.
When everyone heard this, they thought it seemed to make sense. In the hearts of today's Chinese people, "The Wandering Earth" is the first god film, even "The Lich War", which started quite hard and was a big hit at the overseas box office, look at this box office trend is afraid that it will be difficult to surpass, no one thinks that "Wolf Warrior 2" has the possibility of breaking the record.
I can't think of it!
While chatting, another big-name star appeared on the stage, and reporters took pictures without mentioning it. But when the ceremony was about to start, I saw Ma Yun and Li Yangzhong walking on the red carpet together.
This scene really surprised many reporters and audiences, after all, Ma Yun's circle of friends has reached the level of presidents and prime ministers of various countries, and it is too strange that she will appear at the premiere of a domestic movie.
"Mr. Ma Yun, Mr. Li Yangzhong, can you interview you two for a few questions?" On the red carpet, Li Mi, the beautiful host of the movie channel, stopped the two, with a surprised expression on their faces.
Ma Yun showed her signature smile, "Well, you say!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this is your first time attending a movie premiere, right?
Ma Yun smiled, "I'm a person who likes kung fu very much, I heard that in this movie, there are three brothers, Yangzhong, Wu Jing, and Lu Linshi, of course, I want to have a sneak peek!"
……
After Ma Yun, there were Chen Kaige, Cheng Long, Zhang Yimu, etc., in short, the stars gathered, and the small hearts of the audience who were "counting the stars" outside the stadium fluttered.
But in fact, Wu Jing's heart is also fluttering at this moment, the scene is too big, and a premiere is like a film festival!
Seeing Lu Lin coming, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, why did you invite Ma Yun here?"
"Calling you?" Lu Lin said of course.
"I'm not talking about this, he ...... You know what I mean, right?"
Lu Lin smiled, patted Wu Jing on the shoulder, and said, "It's normal, don't think too much, hurry up and entertain the guests, you have to go on stage later!"
After all the guests and audiences entered the venue, the premiere ceremony officially began. Wu Jing came to the stage with a microphone and looked extremely emotional: "To be honest, before the filming of "Wolf Warrior" started, I really didn't expect to have today's ......!"
