(Around 11 p.m. on the second watch today)

Two Mercedes-Benz SUVs drove on the road one after the other, and in the car in front, Duane asked the person sitting in the co-pilot with a curious face: "What level of celebrities usually come to the United States and will have the same situation as just now?"

He was curious about his status in the minds of the American people.

There were four people sitting in this car, one in the co-pilot seat of the main frame, and one in the back seat and the bodyguards around him, Shu Yu sat in the car behind.

Sitting in the passenger seat was a yellow man, slightly honest, about 1.7 meters tall. The two of them have also briefly introduced him just now, Du ane knows that his name is Wu Yaozong, he is a Chinese born and raised in the United States, his Mandarin level is okay, and he is the translator and tour guide sent by the North American publisher contacted by DreamWorks this time, responsible for accompanying them on their trip to North America and communication issues.

Wu Yaozong turned his head from the front and said with a smile: "The popularity of Chinese stars here is not the same as in China, mainly based on the works. Generally speaking, the more movies you appear, the more popular they are, like Cheng Long, Zhou Xingchi, and some are like Du An, who have recently starred in movies with extremely high box office. Your "Pretty Woman", called Prettywan here, caused a sensation when it was released in the United States last year, and now many American girls regard you as the lover of their dreams. ”

"If you have to say it, it's really hard to compare,"

Wu Yaozong thought for a while and said, "I can only say that Zhou Xingchi also announced his itinerary when he came to Los Angeles last time, and more than 300 people went to the airport. ”

More than 300 people...... Duane pondered the number in his mind for a moment, and then recalled the number of people he had just seen about twenty.

It seems that he is really not particularly charismatic and attracts the cold American people to pick up the plane, which is just the practice of others.

Duane was about to ask for some more information about the United States, and his mobile phone rang before he came.

When I took out my mobile phone, I saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and hesitated. Picked it up, "Hey, who's who?"

It was a man's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, is it Director Duane?"

"It's me. Who are you?"

The male voice on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Hello Director Duan, I am Han Sanping, chairman of China Film Group." ”

Han Sanping?......

To this day, Duane's energy is mainly focused on the study of various techniques in film and television production, and the shooting of films. The understanding of many peers in the circle is still at a level that is only slightly higher than that of ordinary people, but even so, it does not prevent him from knowing this name.

No way, the name is too loud.

China Film, the full name of China Film Group, with 15 subsidiaries and 1 movie channel, is the leader of China's eight major film and television companies, and as the chairman of China Film, Han Sanping can almost be said to be one of the most powerful bigwigs in the circle. Du An really didn't know what such a person was looking for him, but he didn't dare to slack off in his language, and hurriedly said, "Hello, is there anything to find me?"

"There are some things I want to discuss with you about movies, but it's not convenient to say on the phone, I don't know when Director Du is free, let's meet and talk. ”

Something about movies?

"One Flew Over the Asylum" is already in theaters, it shouldn't have anything to do with it, the filming of "The Terminator" has long been completed, and the post-production special effects have also been completed. But it's not released yet, does he want to get a kick in it?

Du An's idea was immediately discharged: This is Han Sanping, not a beggar who asks for food, as for these small profits that can be seen in "The Terminator"?

Another possibility is to find him to make a movie. But it's still impossible to think about it, Han Sanping himself is a director, and if China Film wants to find any director to make a movie, with Han Sanping's connections and resources, it is not a problem to find Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige, and even Feng Xiaogang, the director of Huayi, also has Han Sanping's grace in it. It wasn't a problem to call him over from Huayi to make a movie.

There are so many great directors available, as for deliberately coming to him to make a movie with a cutting-edge director like him?

After thinking about it quickly, Du An couldn't think of anything Han Sanping could do to find him, so he had to say: "I'm really sorry, Han Dong, I'm in the United States now, and I'm busy with propaganda in the next few days, so I'm not free for the time being." ”

"I know, so isn't this just an appointment? ”

Duane calculated his itinerary and gave a time, saying that he would meet and discuss in detail as soon as he returned to China, and then the two hung up the phone.

As soon as the phone hung up, Du An called Shu Yu in the car behind him, told her what had just happened, and said a few points about his speculation, and asked her to help analyze it.

There's no way, this person's background is too big, and it's the first time he's come into contact with someone at this level, and he can't help but feel a little empty.

Shu Yu on the other end of the phone thought for a while before he spoke: "The third master, I haven't dealt with him, I heard that people are still good, he has the grace of knowing many people in the circle, and he also has his own views on the film industry. However, it is said that he is too domineering, his temper is too bad, he can't stand it, and there are some other small problems. ”

Du An's description by Shu Yu made it a little unclear what kind of person this person was.

Shu Yu continued: "In general, there is no problem with the general direction, and there are many small problems, so we can still communicate about it." As for what he is looking for you, won't you know when you go back to China and meet you? It's useless to guess now. ”

It seems that Shu Yu doesn't know much about Han Sanping, so Du An had to hang up the phone.

After talking on the phone for a long time, the car arrived at the San Gabriel Hilton, where they stayed during the Los Angeles campaign.

Because of the tight schedule, there was simply no time to jet lag the four of them who flew in from China, so they went straight to work that night for tonight's premiere at the Midland Theater.

The basic process of the premiere is similar to that of the domestic one, that is, there is an extra red carpet ceremony, and Du Yu doesn't know why Shu Yu quietly contacted several local American stars: Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, Meg Ryan, Johnny Depp......

They were people he hadn't even heard of, and Duane admitted that he didn't even recognize his domestic counterparts, let alone their American counterparts. But what makes Duane even more incomprehensible is that this is the premiere of his "One Flew Over the Asylum", all of which are Chinese actors, and they have nothing to do with these American stars, what is the purpose of inviting them to walk the red carpet at the premiere?

"Build momentum. In fact, I wanted to do this in China, but those domestic celebrities didn't move, and those who could ask for help didn't work, and it was easier to talk to the United States. ”

This was the answer Shu Yu gave him, and he had to accept this way of building momentum that couldn't be hit with eight poles.

Outside the Midland Theatre

The people have already occupied the audience area on both sides of the red carpet, and a star who came over shouted the name of the star, in terms of momentum, it is not lighter than those star chasers in China, and even more enthusiastic than Cheng Dù. At the same time, it can also be seen that these stars invited by Shu Yu to help are indeed popular in the United States.

And these celebrities also enjoyed this process, stopping from time to time during the red carpet to let the media reporters take enough pictures, and then continue to walk.

The climax of the red carpet show was when Duane appeared.

He wore a classic tuxedo and a small bow tie and got out of the car, and then Shu Yu also got out of the car, holding his arm, and the two slowly walked on the red carpet side by side, walking inside, followed by the translator.

“ann！”

The people were in a commotion for a while, and they wanted to squeeze inside, and the security guards dutifully held hands to form a human wall to stop the surging crowd and prevent them from crossing the thunder pond for half a minute.

Those local stars are often seen, and some even live in Los Angeles, and they can be seen on the streets, and the people's interest in them is naturally not too strong, but Duane is different from this "big director" and "big star" from the world's first film power, and he has only come to the United States once in a few years, and the opportunity is rare, and it is no wonder that the people are excited.

Monks from outside will chant scriptures, since ancient times, regardless of race and region.

Du An, with a smile on his face, walked slowly with Shu Yu, and occasionally stopped after hearing a simple "lookhere" from the media reporter next to him, and gave them various angles to shoot for a while, the flash flashed randomly, and his eyes were almost blind, and after the flash, he continued to move forward He came here to make money, and for these parents who cooperated with him to do publicity, it was natural to try to meet their requirements.

Finally walked through this red carpet, came to the signature board at the end, took the signature pen in the hand of the smiling blonde beauty next to him, found a space to write his name, and cooperated with the media reporters to pose for dozens of photos, Du An finally walked into the theater with Shu Yu arm in arm.
