Chapter 53: Domestic Premiere

The premiere of "Once Upon a Time" is imminent, and China Film International Cinema is already overcrowded at the moment.

"What time does the plane arrive?"

Chen Farong was a little anxious.

The premiere is about to begin, and the most important director hasn't arrived yet!

"Xu Hui called thirteen hours ago, saying that they had already boarded the flight..."

In contrast, He Xiaowen is much calmer.

"Then why can't you get through on the phone?"

“…”

"Mr. Chen, I just received the news that the plane has arrived at the capital airport..."

"Quick! arrange a car to pick them up!"

"It's been arranged, it's estimated that in about an hour, they will be there!"

"Great!"

Chen Farong took a long breath, and her face reappeared with her previous grace and luxury: "Let's go, Xiaowen, let's go and meet our colleagues together!"

……

At the same time, on the black business car, Xu Hui, who was wearing a black suit, looked obviously haggard.

Since the day before yesterday, he has been flying all over the world, no matter how strong he is, he can't bear such a day and night reversal, plus he doesn't sleep very well on the plane, Pao Hui just wants to sleep well now!

Still, his spirits were high.

"I really didn't expect Disney to use us to open up the Chinese market!"

pushed Chen Jingshen, who was leaning on the back seat next to him, and Xu Hui talked very much.

“… You've said it five times, and you're so happy?"

Chen Jingshen was speechless, if Xu Hui was not his boss, he would probably have scolded him a long time ago.

In the past two days, Xu Hui is not the only one who can't sleep day and night, and Chen Jingshen's state is the same.

Fortunately, he will go home directly, and Pao Hui still has to attend the premiere of "Once Upon a Time"...

"I'm just surprised, Disney doesn't seem to have released a work other than our own!"

"That's because they don't need to, and Disney's roots in Hollywood aren't too deep compared to the other seven..."

"Where did the seven come from, now there are six left!"

Xu Hui corrected it.

It's easy to understand that compared to several other film companies, Disney was founded the latest, and people did animation at the beginning.

The live-action film business started in the 90s of the last century.

Dick Cook was in charge of the cooperation negotiations.

He is the head of Disney's film business.

At the beginning, they offered a very sincere price, and they acted as an agent for the North American and European copyrights of "Once Upon a Time", with four or six accounts, of course, Disney accounted for the majority.

Not only Xu Hui was surprised, but Chen Jingshen was also surprised.

It costs a lot of money to promote and publicize, but Disney is so helpful?

This is a capitalist, it is simply Lei Feng of the United States!

After some exchanges, Xu Hui knew that Disney wanted to cooperate with Chinese film and television companies, but unfortunately, they entered too late, and several large companies already had fixed partners.

Probably because of the huge Chinese market.

The so-called cooperation cannot be just Disney's unilateral contribution, in the future, Disney's movies in China, but also Huiwen World to help market...

It can only be said that Disney has not done enough detailed research on the Chinese market and Chinese audiences.

Or they can't imagine that there is a large number of Chinese audiences in China who only watch Hollywood movies...

In any case, the exchange between the two sides was a great joy.

Dick Cook also suggested that Xu Hui's film could ask them for help if he wanted to compete for the best foreign language film...

……

At the back door of the film city, Xu Hui walked into the dressing room under the leadership of the staff, simply smeared a little foundation to cover up the dark circles on his face, and wore black frames, Xu Hui took the stage.

At this time, the premiere of the movie has begun, and the host has received a message from the staff, trying to delay time by saying some soup on stage, and the audience is very dissatisfied.

It doesn't matter if Xu Hui doesn't come, just now the person from the distribution company explained that Xu Hui's flight was delayed, and the premiere interview was like an old lady's footwrap, what's the point?

We're here to see the movie, not to hear you tell you interesting things about filming!

"Jingwei is not like a host who likes to drag on time so much, could it be that Xu Hui has arrived backstage and is preparing to appear on the stage?"

There are also viewers who have watched "Premiere", they understand the routine of this show, and they guessed the host's routine at once.

Sure enough, Jingwei had a smile on his face: "... I just received the news that Director Xu has rushed to the premiere site, come, we applaud Xu Hui, the director of "Huang Feihong"!"

There was a temporary appearance, and there was no rehearsal session, so the stage was not very arranged.

However, Xu Hui's aura alone is enough!

With a stylized smile, Xu Hui walked up from the backstage.

"Hello host, hello audience, as well as colleagues and media who went to watch the movie, hello everyone, I am Xu Hui. ”

"Director Xu's face is full of dust, I heard that I just got off the plane and rushed here, it's really hard!"

Jingwei slightly complimented.

"Where's the word, my movie, my premiere, if I don't appear, it's too unusual!"

Xu Hui still had a smile on his face.

“… Can you tell us a little bit about what it was like to win an award at Cannes? I just stopped talking about it, and she couldn't believe it. ”

"I can't believe it! There is no wind at all, otherwise Wu Jingge would not have flown back to China in advance and stayed in Cannes to witness how good it is!"

Xu Hui glanced at Wu Jing and quipped with a smile: "... Maybe Brother Wu Jing is our lucky star, as soon as he leaves, we will win the award!"

“… That's called a broom star!"

Wu Jing is also a poor-mouthed person.

Native BJ people, there are a few who are not poor!

"You said it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

“… Ahem, the director has a really good relationship with Brother Jing, I heard that you decided to shoot this movie a long time ago?"

Jingwei started the interview session according to the previous script.

"Yes, in fact, the story of "Wong Fei Hung" has been a big theme of HK movies a long time ago, and if you know HK movies, you will know that Mr. Kwan Tak Hong has shot dozens of movies about "Wong Fei Hung". But after 77 years, the screen image of Huang Feihong has disappeared, and I think this story can be continued. ”

"Before, I went to HK to persuade Wu Jingge to star in "Embroidered Spring Knife", and I told him about the series of movies "Wong Fei Hung", which was two years ago, and I already had a draft in my heart at that time, but I was not sure to grasp such a grand theme!"

"Grandiose subject matter?"

Jingwei saw the stitch and asked.

"After all, the era in which Huang Feihong lived was the end of the Qing Dynasty, and I had to use a grand wide-angle lens to present a panoramic view of a society in the late Qing Dynasty in front of the audience, rather than blindly facilitating it..."

"No wonder its English name is 'Once Upon a Time in China'! Wow, I really want to see the movie soon!"

Jingwei sighed with emotion, and the main creative team left the stage.

The premiere opens!
