"I didn't expect you to come. ”

In the car to the premiere theater, Matthew joked to David Ellison, who was sitting next to him, "David, you're not here to steal my limelight, are you?"

David Ellison glanced at Matthew with admiration and said, "You have made a lot of noise here, I came here yesterday and looked at it, and I can see the news about you everywhere in the newspapers, the Internet and the TV. ”

He deliberately gave Matthew a thumbs up, "Speaking of propaganda, you're still amazing." ”

Matthew said, "In another five or six years, this set will not be easy." ”

Just like movies, publicity and promotion also have to change with the changes in the social situation, and when this side really builds up strong self-confidence, the effect will definitely not be as good as it is now.

But in this era, recognition from the outside is indeed very appetizing here.

"Anyway. David Ellison still said in admiration, "You're causing a sensation here that Hollywood movies have never had." ”

Matthew smiled and shook his head, because he knew that many years ago the big ship was much more sensational than this, but it was a pity that there was no big man to speak for him like the big ship back then.

Otherwise, without his efforts at all, the "Fast and Furious" series would have become popular all over the country.

I still vaguely remember the news I once read on the Internet, and the speech of a certain bigwig about the big ship at a formal meeting has become the best warm-up that is better than any propaganda.

Maybe in the future, we can also go the high-level route?

However, thinking of the powerful power of the divine beast, he still dispelled this idea.

If it doesn't work, in the words of the Internet, it will be 404 directly.

The car gradually approached the premiere theater, and there was still some distance between them, and Matthew saw the scene of a sea of people.

There are so many fans who, because of the publicity these days, choose to come to the premiere and see for themselves Matthew Horner, a very special Hollywood star.

Lin Feng is one of them, because it is a little far away from the capital, he didn't have time to attend the media fan meeting at the film academy before, but later read the report and listened to a few fans and friends who went to the scene to chat, so he came over early this morning.

But after coming over, he found that he still didn't come early enough, and it was only more than ten o'clock in the morning, and a large number of fans were waiting in the red carpet area, and some of the best seats were basically snatched up.

More and more people gathered, and the special police team of the police to maintain order rushed over, because there were too many people at the scene, and when you looked at the past, it was all people.

Originally, Lin Feng was worried that the event would be canceled if there were too many people, but the order has always been very good.

And as the number of people grew, the organizers simply opened up the area on the other side of the red carpet where the billboards were originally placed, and he quickly occupied one of the good positions, although he had to stand behind the billboards to see the red carpet, but it was much stronger than before.

As time went on, the atmosphere in front of the theater grew stronger.

Lin Feng looked at the huge poster hanging at the front door of the theater, looked around, and felt that the organizer seemed to have done a lot of work.

Since three o'clock in the afternoon, a large area has been closed to the busy avenue in front of the theater, because the organizers have been prepared, coupled with the strong support of the police, so the order is orderly, and the most surprising thing is that a large number of fans have arrived, because there are too many people on both sides of the red carpet, these people can only stay far outside the iron railing.

Even so, there are still large queues of people to occupy the space.

Lin Feng is really a little surprised, although Matthew Horner has been very popular on the Internet and in the media in the past two days, how can he also be a Hollywood star, but now this scene, even if it is the premiere of several of the most popular stars in China and top directors such as Feng Zhangchen, at most it is like this.

"Is this the power of a world superstar?" Lin Feng squeezed behind the billboard and said to himself, "When Tom came to shoot "Mission Impossible 3" before, the sensational photos were too much!"

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet ceremony of "Fast and Furious 4" began, Lin Feng calculated, and the fans who occupied a favorable position opposite estimated that many of them stayed here for twelve hours.

Look at their excited looks, this spirit is too good.

The first to appear was not the members of the crew of "Fast and Furious 4", but a number of domestic stars and directors, including many big names, and it seems that some people came over specially to come.

Seeing the appearance of the two directors Feng and Zhang, and the successive passing of many big names in the Beijing circle, Lin Feng felt that tonight might be a sensational event in the national film circle.

"Matthew Horner has such a big face. A man of his age next to him said, "There are so many people in China who come to cheer him on." ”

Another man with glasses seemed to know a lot, and answered, "It's not that the face is big, but the power is big! Do you know who made this film in a joint venture with Matthew Horner? Say it and scare you to death, the boss of Oracle, that is, David Ellison, the son of Larry Ellison, who has always been in the top five on the world's richest list in recent years! Others have to plan carefully when they do publicity, and people will directly take money to smash it!"

Lin Feng didn't know this, so he quickly pricked up his ears.

"One more thing to tell you, David Ellison is rich, and Matthew Horner isn't bad. The bespectacled man opened a slap and shook it, "I've seen a media report that Matthew Horner has at least that net worth!"

Someone of similar age was surprised, "Five million dollars!"

The man with glasses looked disdainful, "With only $50 million in net worth, you dare to invest half of the investment in a film that costs $120 million to make? What insight do you have! It's $500 million! And it's a conservative estimate!"

People of the same age gasped, "I rely on being a star to make so much money?"

"Not every star is Matthew Horner!" the bespectacled man added, "There is only one Matthew Horner in the world!"

He continued the topic just now, "Matthew Horner and David Ellison, two billionaires, only represent the producer, and the distributor behind this film is Disney, Disney, you should always know, right? They have just decided to build a new Disneyland in the south, with a total investment of tens of billions of dollars, and now they are in a honeymoon period with us, and China Film has obviously invested a lot of resources in this film. ”

The man lifted his glasses, pointed around, and asked, "Have any of you ever seen a Hollywood movie come here for a premiere and close the road?"

Lin Feng thought about it, there really isn't, let alone foreign films, even domestic films rarely have this kind of treatment.

Generally speaking, films that can attract this kind of treatment do not attract many fans, and films that can attract enough fans are difficult to get special attention.

"It seems like ......," said someone of a similar age, "as if this treatment is indeed a bit special." ”

The eyed man smiled and said, "And Matthew Horner's sponsors are also extraordinary, and he now has three major brands to support him, Mercedes-Benz, Rolex, and Armani, which is not the world's top brand? My friend's cousin's uncle works at China Film, and he said that these three brands not only sponsor the film Fast and Furious 4, but also invite stars from all over the country to participate in the premiere. ”

He said admirably, "Except for Armani who came in a little later, Mercedes-Benz and Rolex have already opened up the market on our side, all of which are top brands, which domestic star wants to be their spokesperson?"

This is not bad at all, Lin Feng watched it for a while, and before the crew of "Fast and Furious 4" appeared, there were at least a dozen front-line people in China.

Matthew Horner came here for the first time, although it caused a media sensation, but it should not be so big-faced, and it is estimated that it is all the handiwork of these super big brands behind it.

The time is gradually approaching seven o'clock, and fans on both sides of the red carpet are looking forward to it, and in the information announced by the organizers, the crew members of "Fast and Furious 4" will appear from seven o'clock.

Because of the convenience of on-site coordination, the stars present first waited in the tent at the front of the red carpet and then walked on the red carpet.

Traffic here is notoriously congested, especially during rush hour, so Matthew has already asked Bearded Jack to inform everyone and ask all the main creators who participated in the red carpet ceremony to arrive early to avoid being late in traffic jams.

"Last five minutes! Ready!"

Inside the tent, the bearded Jack reminded, "There are two more guests in front, as soon as seven o'clock arrives, Daniel, you will appear on time!"

The order of appearance of the red carpet crew this time is carefully arranged, Matthew as the first actor will definitely make the finale, and the task of mobilizing the audience's emotions in front of him is handed over to Daniel Wu, and there is Justin Lin in the middle.

Their identity is more likely to win the recognition of movie fans.

In addition, Matthew had a meeting with everyone last night, and during the premiere of the crew here, everyone should not talk openly about political issues.

This aspect is too sensitive, and if an answer is not good, the early publicity may be in vain.

As for affinity and cooperation, Matthew is not worried, this is the most basic literacy in Hollywood, and on this occasion, facing fans and swiping big names, only brain-dead can make it.

Matthew looked very calm in a dark suit, and David Ellison next to him suggested, "Why don't we walk the red carpet together?"

"No, I don't. Matthew glanced at him, "Don't be nervous, no one knows you here." ”

These words directly choked back the back half of David Ellison's words, and David Ellison stretched out his finger and pointed at him, "Did you have fun hitting me?"

Matthew deliberately joked, "I'm relegating a fact. ”

"Daniel!" the bearded Jack's voice rang out.

Subsequently, Daniel Wu walked on the red carpet, and the shouts of fans were obviously a lot higher.

But immediately after Gal Gadot's appearance, the voice decreased significantly, although Gal Gadot is beautiful, his popularity is very average, and he has not opened his reputation in Hollywood, let alone here.

After all, she is not a 360-degree Wonder Woman with no dead ends.

The main creative staff of the crew appeared one after another, and soon it was Matthew's turn to be the finale.
