Chapter 234: Energetic!

In the morning, the weather was beautiful, and a red carpet was laid out at the entrance of the Beijing New Century Cinema, at this time, a large number of fans gathered on the carpet, they all looked like young people in their 20s, and there were also immature-looking middle school students, their youthful faces were full of smiles, holding cameras, posters and other things, looking at the theater from time to time, laughing and talking to each other.

"If my class knew that I got Wang Yang's autograph, haha!", "What are you showing up, Wang Yang is still waving to me!SAY-HI!", "Damn, you guys are envious, it's cool!haha!", "Natalie Portman is so beautiful!", "She and Wang Yang seem to be very good!", "I didn't expect Wu Yanzu's Mandarin to be worse than Wang Yang's. "Magical Yang can also speak with a Beijing accent. ”…… Nearly ten security guards at the door vaguely listened to these words, absentmindedly guarding the gate, the screams caused by the previous red carpet entry, the once out of control crazy scene is still clearly visible, they are also chatting and discussing: "These students are crazy, Wang Yang Wang Yang's shouting makes my ears hurt." "There are hundreds of tickets in it, and they are all over the place, and they are all stolen at once, and they can't be bought with money, do you say crazy?", "That good seat, the cracks are fried to thousands!", ...... "Ding Ding Ding Ding-" The screening hall of the theater premiere was full, and the audience was looking at the slot machines on the big screen rolling, excited and full of anticipation, 1/260000+ chance, will you win the lottery?

"The Capture of Las Vegas" has come to the final shot, just when the third frame of the slot machine is slowly about to stop, the song starts and the screen goes black, and the cast appears: "Director: Wang Yang, screenwriter: Wang Yang, Ben Mozridge......"

First there was a low exclamation, followed by thunderous applause, the whole screening hall seemed to be boiling, and the admiring audience kept applauding, although the film did not have any big scenes, but it made them feel excited; compared to the European and American audiences, those little ink but delicate mental pictures, the ultimate pleasure of sweeping the casino...... They feel more deeply and are more engaged.

Seeing the godlike table card counting, the team was silent but communicated unimpeded, and saw the playing cards flying all over the sky...... Many viewers have a feeling of being shocked, it's really amazing!

Listening to the deafening applause around him, the smiling faces of everyone, and also attended the much-anticipated premiere, Han Sanping, who was also applauding, couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and glanced at Wang Yang and the others who got up with a smile over there, that doll really knows how to make a commercial film! Although it has no meaning, it is weird, the music is noisy and noisy, the camera is scary, and it was changed before I could see it clearly, and there are a lot of lines that I can't hear...... But there are many celebrities, and there are six people in a team! And the money is thrown casually, young people like it!

Han Sanping suddenly felt that the "Jade Guanyin" launched in this year's Chinese New Year file was not enough, as far as Zhao Wei and Nicholas Tse were concerned, how could they be big stars and big scenes? But now he is pecking and Feng Xiaogang to adapt Zhao Benfu's "There Are No Thieves in the World", he wants to invite the biggest stars in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland to play the leading roles, Andy Lau and those people are called, let Xiaogang learn more about this magic Yang and engage in some elements that young people like, what action special effects, funny lines...... He doesn't believe that he can't make a blockbuster commercial film!

"Damn, it's so good-looking!" Chen Lisen, who came to watch with friends in the audience, applauded vigorously, and it cost hundreds of yuan to grab the tickets quickly, but it was really worth it......! He turned his head to look at a few classmates and friends, and praised: "It's really worthy of being called Magical Yang! We're not wrong, I now think that those gambling movies in Hong Kong are far from funny, and the real adaptation is different! It's so professional, I have nothing to say!"

"Yes, that's professional. This isn't called a gambling movie, right?!" A tall thin boy wearing rimless glasses nodded excitedly and asked, and a beautiful girl with fashionable clothes and long hair next to him whispered: "Ouch my mother, why is Wu Yanzu so handsome!......? They're on stage!" she couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Wang Yang——!"

The big screen behind the stage has finished rolling the credits and replaced with the picture of the promotional poster, Wang Yang is wearing a long black thin windbreaker jacket and jeans, casual clothes show youth; Wu Yanzu in a blazer and jeans is also very handsome; Natalie and Rachel also walked on the stage together, both of them are casually fashionable, with light makeup on their faces and ponytails.

"Hello everyone!" Several people came to the middle of the stage and took over the microphone handed by the staff, Wang Yang looked at the audience with media reporters and ordinary fans in the audience, and said hello happily.

The fans immediately shouted loudly, and some audience members in one area stood up and shouted uncontrollably: "YOUNG-"

"Thank you, thank you. Wang Yang smiled and raised his palm, and Wu Yanzu and Natalie, who were holding the microphone, also smiled. After the noise stopped, looking at the audience, Wang Yang smiled and said: "Thank you all for coming here for this premiere! I am very happy to get everyone's applause, I am very happy to see that everyone likes "Capture of Las Vegas", and I am very happy to come to China and come here. ”

This time he came on stage to say hello and thanks, so he didn't express much emotion, only smiled: "This movie has a lot of Chinese elements, the actor is a Chinese element, and then the director is also a Chinese element." It may be for this reason, but I, the translator, feel that this place is really very kind and very welcoming, thank you!"

"Hehe!" many viewers chuckled a few times, in fact, Magic Yang's Chinese is indeed very fluent, there are no grammatical errors, but sometimes the accent is still a little weird, but it is enough to do the translation.

Among the other three people on the stage, Wu Yanzu can basically understand Mandarin, and it will be troublesome to speak; Natalie can understand and speak simple and everyday language, and most of her Chinese level is practiced by chatting with Wang Yang, of course, many times she can't express clearly; while Rachel is limited to "hello" and "goodbye" specially studied for this trip, and now she can't understand what he says, only a smile with doubt.

"Hello everyone. Wang Yang said, after a round of applause, it was Wu Yanzu's turn, and the audience and fans were naturally more familiar with him, and last year's "Xinzha Senior Sister" made more people realize this handsome guy with good manners. He held up the microphone and said with a smile in broken Mandarin: "I'm also glad that everyone likes it, this movie is a big challenge for me, fortunately the director said that I acted well...... So please support us!"

There was another round of applause in the theater, these are the places worth the ticket price! Seeing Natalie Portman raise the microphone, fans and fans fell silent, hearing that she can speak Chinese, is this true?

"Hello friends!" Natalie did not disappoint the audience, smiling and saying hello in non-standard Mandarin. There was a lot of applause and cheers from the audience, every time foreigners come to China, there is a fixed link is to learn to speak a few words of Mandarin, and now seeing her so well, fans naturally feel very happy. And Natalie once again felt the enthusiasm of the fans when she walked the red carpet before, and she was also very happy.

"This premiere was a different and special experience, and I sincerely thank everyone who may have been supporting and wishing you well. Natalie paused as she spoke, as if she was organizing the language, and was looked at by Wang Yang with a smile of "Do ......you need a translator?" One of the exciting movies, it's COOL, and your applause is COOL, thank you!"

"Okay!!" The applause in the screening hall broke out instantly, because she named the applause, the audience applauded especially hard this time, the decibel was even bigger than Wang Yang just now, many fans felt very funny and laughed, Natalie Portman will also say energetic, too energetic! Next is Rachel McAdams, what Chinese will she speak?

"You howl, everyone howl!" Rachel raised the microphone, smiled and said the greeting that had been practiced many times, and there was a burst of applause from the audience, and the audience didn't think there was anything wrong, but Wang Yang wanted to laugh a little, and she couldn't correct it after teaching it so many times, and she was still very strange: "What's the difference between howling and howling?"

It's just a little disappointing for fans that Rachel finished the opening remarks, and laughed and said something in English, and after a few sentences, Rachel smiled in mechanical Chinese: "Back tightening is a very weak spring style, I am back tightly AND-CHINA!" She forgot the words and her tongue was not clear, so she had to laugh and finish the last words in English: "Im-very-happy-to-see-you-all-here!Thank-you!"

The audience burst into loud applause again, Wang Yang clapped his hands with a smile, Natalie muttered softly, muttering without making a sound: "Back Beibei ......" Rachel felt that she said very well, but in the end she was too anxious, she smiled and looked at the translator next to her.

"Hello, everyone!" Wang Yang swallowed the laughter that didn't laugh, and translated into the microphone seriously: "It's a great surprise and honor to see you living on the other side of the world like and support "Capture of Las Vegas" and my performance. In this movie I play a smart female detective, but as you can see, I never beat the genius of MIT, which is a pity. ”

He smiled, Wu Yanzu and Natalie also smiled, and he continued: "When I first saw the traditional Chinese decorative clothes, I was moved by its charm, and I will buy a lot of things this time to see the Great Wall. He paused, then said with a smile: "Beijing is a very beautiful city, I love Beijing and China! Finally, I am very happy to meet you here, thank you!"

There were deafening bursts of applause in the theater, and it was not until the four main creators walked off the stage that fans stopped applauding, and the Beijing premiere also came to an end.

China will not be released until August 16th, "MIT-21-TEAM", but in North America, August 8th-10th new week weekend box office rankings have been released, this second weekend of August, last weekend with 49.67 million won the championship "21" continues to make the media industry "expected surprise", continue to surprise the flame movie, it collected 75.26 million box office in the first week, the weekend decline change was only 31.5%, swept down 34.02 million box office!

This allowed it to defend the top spot on the weekend charts, and the total box office in North America also exceeded 100 million to 109 million, in just 10 days!

The 31.5% decline was also the fewest in the previous 12 this week, with the critically acclaimed feature film "Pentium Age" both down 32.2% and "Pirates of the Caribbean" down 33.9%.

For this result, the flame movie really has the feeling of discovering another treasure in the treasure, is this true story that is of interest to men, women and children has too much attraction? Film criticism and public word-of-mouth are two thumbs up, allowing too many waiting audiences in the first week to make a decision? The new battlefield in the same schedule is not competitive enough? Maybe all these reasons are there, and the result is that the box office broke 100 million in 10 days, and Miraculous Yang rose wildly.

With a total box office of 1.552 billion in North America, Wang Yang's ranking officially surpassed Chris Columbus and Robert Zemeckis and rose to second place in history, continuing to catch up with Steven Spielberg, who was 57 years old and 3.0884 billion at the age of 23. The 109 million of "MIT-21-TEAM" is also catching up with the 164 million "Impunity", and it seems that the day when it will rule the two film genres of "gambling and liar" is not far away.

In second place this weekend, is the newly released action movie "Anti-Terrorism SWAT Team", starring Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez and others, the scene is hot, it received 30.06 million box office in the first weekend, but the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 48%, and the audience likes it 63%, which is labeled as "cliché", "non-exciting action movie", and "boring".

The also newly released "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" ranked third with 20.2 million, this movie is a remake of the 1976 version, starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, 88% freshness and 60% audience like, indicating that this is an acceptable commercial film with no surprises, but Lindsay Lohan, who has amazing performances in "Natural Pair", is a child star who really makes people see her bright future.

The fourth place is "American Pie 3" with 10.46 million, "Pirates of the Caribbean" with 10.12 million in the fifth, and "Pentium Age" with 9.95 million...... After the premiere in the morning, after lunch and rest, the afternoon premiere press conference was held as scheduled in the press hall, attended by not only Wang Yang and the four people, but also nearly 400 media reporters, newspapers and magazines, television and the Internet...... After the photo session, we came to the Q&A session, where a row of cameras was set up behind the crowded press seats, and in the footage, Wang Yang and Natalie sat behind a long table, with microphones, mineral water and other objects placed in each position on the table.

"Director Wang, can you predict how much Chinese mainland box office "Capture of Las Vegas" will achieve?

The Q&A session has been going on for a long time, and the reporters scrambled to raise their hands and ask questions to the four people, among whom Wang Yang was the one who attracted the most attention.

"Of course I expect the higher the better, and no one is too much at the box office. Wang Yang smiled and replied with a cunning answer, the reporters below all laughed, and the male reporter with a Chinese face refused to stop laughing and asked: "Can you tell me a goal?" Wang Yang thought for a while, there is no need to say those words now, and said with a smile: "I hope to surpass myself! I am very happy to break 100 million." ”

This is obviously not the answer that reporters want, such as "exceeding the highest "Titanic" in history", but Miraculous Yang itself is hot news, and it makes no difference whether there is such eye-catching content or not. Another female reporter from a daily newspaper was given the opportunity to ask a question, she took the microphone, got up and asked: "Mr. Wang, you just said 'no one is too big at the box office', is this what you want to get most in China this time?"

Looking at her serious face, Wang Yang was slightly stunned, what she meant was to say, "Did you come to China for the box office and making money?" He couldn't help but smile, but he was not angry, this was probably to provoke trouble and make news, for example, in Los Angeles, a reporter asked the topic of "challenging Spielberg". In any case, these were very impolite ways to ask questions, and he could choose not to answer them, but he didn't want to acquiesce to them.

"Am I wrong? As far as this sentence itself is, 'no one is too much at the box office', am I wrong?" Wang Yang asked the long-haired female reporter with a smile, she was suddenly speechless, and the reporters couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Wang Yang didn't mean to attack anyone, and said seriously: "The box office represents a lot, and one of them is the audience's love for the movie......"

Natalie and Rachel next to him were dissatisfied with him, and the atmosphere of the press conference was very pleasant, but the problem was too much. Wu Yanzu, who kept smiling, sighed in his heart, even if he is an actor who knows that if it is purely for the box office, it is better to consider going to Europe, Australia and other countries to promote from a commercial point of view, because even if Chinese mainland can get 300 million box office, it may only make millions of dollars in the end?

Wu Yanzu is not clear about the proportion of mainland cinemas, as well as the agreement signed between "Capture of Las Vegas" and China Film Group, according to some situations in Hong Kong and what he knows, the cinema chain is divided into half, if China Film divides another 50%, the rough calculation of 300 million box office flame movies is less than 10 million US dollars, and taxes will have to be paid. But that's 300 million box office! Now he understands that the 100 million box office in the mainland is very high.

The reason why few Hollywood film creative teams go to Hong Kong and the mainland to do publicity is because there is no money to make, so the company does not arrange it, and the schedule is used in other countries. Now this question is really misunderstood Wang Yang, Wu Yanzu knows very well that when he was filming on the set, the director was very excited to mention the promotion plan to China all day long, completely from the bottom of his heart, just like when he came to Beijing to learn martial arts when he was a teenager.

"I came to China this time for publicity, but also to meet my fans and everyone, it's that simple!"

The movie premiere is over, and the crew's publicity work is about to end, but his personal itinerary has just begun! After Wang Yang finished answering, he no longer paid attention to the female reporter, looked at the reporters who were busy making notes, and said with a smile: "The next question." ”
