The building at 32 Magic Bund is unobtrusive in the skyline of the remnants of history, but in fact it is a building that was only completed in 2009, and it is also the only new building on the Bund in 60 years, recreating the golden age of the "Paris of the East".

When the construction of the building began, it attracted countless criticisms and doubts, fearing that the building would destroy the unique scenery of the Bund, and some people even commented, "If you look at it and can't see that it is a new building, this is a success." And now it turns out that it worked.

This is the Peninsula Hotel, a trendy and retro building that is becoming another postcard of the city.

Today, the press conference for the premiere of "Gravity" will be held here. It can be seen from the specifications and treatment that this time the public relations agency still spent a lot of thought, and each event arrangement has a corresponding theme, which is really rare. Compared with the sloppy response of the North American premiere, the mainland premiere has become different because of the existence of Lan Li.

However, before heading to the Peninsula Hotel, Lan Li and his party were the first to stop at the Bund ferry port.

For the past three consecutive days, the PR company responsible for the premiere in charge of the mainland has held a small roadshow on the Bund to warm up for the official premiere tonight. They chose the Oriental Pearl Tower Plaza and built a so-called "space experience warehouse" on the square, which may sound very mysterious, but in fact it is an all-round visual experience room.

The design is inspired by the observatory's observatory, which creates the experience of being in the universe with multiple visual and auditory experiences, but unfortunately VR technology is not yet mature and cannot be applied to commercial promotion, otherwise with the "gravity" of the film visual effects, it can also create a more realistic experience.

After Lan Li learned about it, he took the initiative to ask to go to the scene.

First, there was plenty of time before the press conference, and second, the roadshow site was not far from The Peninsula Hotel, not even a five-minute drive. So, Lan Li left the hotel early and made a special trip to the scene, hoping to give fans and audiences an unexpected surprise.

This was a temporary trip, but after Gu Cailing contacted the company, she increased the on-site security personnel in advance to make things happen in the shortest possible time. For Gu Cailing's side, this is a positive and positive thing, the more activities Lan Li is willing to cooperate with, the greater the effect will be for them, but it is also a bad thing that is in a hurry, breaking their pre-deployment.

In the distance, the crowds of people on the Oriental Pearl Tower Square spread out along the sparkling waves of the Huangpu River, because there is still a distance to the relationship, the scene looks like an extension of the spacious river, gurgling, slowly rippling, in the shallow sunlight seems quiet and peaceful.

But as the distance gradually approached, the endless vast crowd became magnificent, as if from a winding tributary to a majestic river, the whole square was crowded, and even the traffic police on the road who were maintaining order seemed busy and anxious.

Such a scene is reminiscent of a New Year's Eve party in New York's Times Square. Although she had just experienced a long-distance flight, Lan Li's mental state was really good, and her tone was relaxed and chattering.

Gu Cailing secretly glanced at Andy, and then found that Andy put his hands on his belly, looking at the grand scene outside the window with interest, and that expression reminded her of a sentence on the Internet: Only when foreigners have personally experienced the frenzy of people in the mainland can they truly understand what a "populous country" is, and in the world, only India can be compared.

So, Gu Cailing considered her tone and spoke, "Isn't the New Year's Eve party in Times Square even more grandiose and huge? I've heard before that the number of participants is millions?"

As for the scene in front of you, because the space in the Oriental Pearl Tower Plaza is really limited, the audience gathered at the scene is only 3,000 people at most, and it may not even be so much, let alone compared to the New Year's Eve party in Times Square, even if it is slightly inferior to the premiere of Lincoln Center not long ago.

"But it's not a New Year's Eve party now, is it?" Lan Li joked with a smile, "I'm even more curious about whether there are so many people every day during this roadshow? ”

In the previous life, Lan Li lived in the magic capital for many years, which is a city full of countless activities, and it is also a city full of art.

If you are willing to step out of your social comfort zone, everyone can find their own group here and find resonance in their interests and hobbies. Movies are naturally part of it.

There are countless film-related events held here every year, but with the exception of the festival in June, other premieres or roadshows can be difficult to attract a large number of fans to support them - the "large number" here refers to the level of more than 1,000 people, or even more.

In terms of the prosperity and liveliness of the fan market, the imperial capital is still slightly better.

Therefore, seeing such a surging crowd in the square at this moment, at least more than two thousand people, Lan Li was inevitably a little surprised, so he half-jokingly joked.

Afterwards, Lan Li saw Gu Cailing's slightly hesitant expression, although she was trying to hide it, she still couldn't escape Lan Li's eyes.

Gu Cailing knows how to deal with it now, deny! deny! deny!

In the face of such a situation, she should naturally express a strong denial, and then politely said that because Lan Li's appeal in the mainland is different, it is always creating topics, the grand occasion of the event is expected, and the prospects of the movie box office are also widely optimistic, and so on.

But looking at Lan Li's eyes, those words could not be spoken, and she could only bite the bullet and say, "Actually, when you just decided to come over, we temporarily posted a message on Weibo, which is actually a combination of Twitter and Facebook in the mainland, calling on everyone to actively participate. ”

Imagine if Lan Li appeared on the scene temporarily, but only saw two or three kittens, that would be a real disaster.

The last thing PR companies like is emergencies, because emergencies mean chaos, and chaos means disaster. For these top stars, it's just a casual sentence, making an understatement of requests, but they need to be in a hurry, people are on their backs, they are anxious, and they are busy to the end, and they may not be able to please - this is definitely a high probability event.

Just after Lan Li temporarily changed her mind, Gu Cailing informed the company, and was scolded by her boss, asking her why she mentioned the roadshow, and then why she mentioned that the roadshow was not far from the press conference, if it was not mentioned, there would be no such;

The only thing to be lucky about is that they don't need to pull people on the spot on the spot.

Because of the pomp and circumstance after Lan Li arrived at the airport, they only needed to call for it on Weibo, and then find a few large numbers to retweet and forward, and the topic jumped straight up like a rocket, and the surging crowd on the Bund immediately swarmed towards the roadshow site. This really relieves them of the pressure of work.

Gu Cailing subconsciously avoided her gaze and looked at the crowd outside the window, "I didn't expect that the crowd gathered so quickly, and the effect far exceeded expectations." Then, she showed a big smile, "Now you can still see the heat of everyone's discussion of this movie, and the box office prospects of the movie are indeed worth looking forward to." ”

Lan Li bowed her head in understanding.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and just when Gu Cailing thought that she had successfully survived this crisis, Lan Li's voice came again, "I think your colleagues must be scolding me behind my back and temporarily changing their minds, you should have worked hard." Oh, please remember to thank them for their work on my behalf. ”

Gu Cailing's face was stunned, and her expression could hardly be concealed.

At this time, the car just stopped, and the on-site security personnel quickly gathered over, opened the car door, and then Lan Li got out of the car without pausing.

Gu Cailing sat in the passenger seat, and suddenly felt a burst of joy rushing to her face - not nervous or scared, but imagining the scene of her colleague saying bad things behind her back but being caught by Lan Li, and her mood became so happy. Immediately after, she also came to her senses and walked out of the car with her.

Everybody.

The memories of the previous life are really too far away, Lan Li almost forgot the grand crowd in China, surging and scorching, dense and arrogant, not only the migration wave like the Spring Festival, even the usual event site can also feel the heat wave, two thousand people can burst out of the carnival effect of five thousand people abroad.

That's what happened at this point.

At first, the audience did not realize the appearance of Lan Li, and everyone waited irritably and anxiously, and the waiting time was so long that people began to become impatient. Before I knew it, the gray sky began to clear, and the sun was sparsely sprinkled, but it still couldn't stop the wind by the river, so it created a strange effect of stuffiness and cold, and I just felt that I was about to be swallowed by the weather.

When the first person realized the appearance of Lan Li, the screams broke free from the shackles of his throat, and then the whole audience began to fry, and the real explosion began, and the layers of screams and cheers swept like a tsunami, and continued to rise, more and more turbulent, more and more crazy.

"Young Master, ahhh

"Welcome to the Demon Capital, young master!"

"Young master, look here, here!"

In the midst of the screams, Lan Li did not walk to the center of the stage, but walked to the audience area, and the whole audience lost control like a volcanic eruption.
