The weather in Seoul in November was already slightly cold, Lin Han took down his suitcase, put on the windbreaker, and walked out with Miao Hong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This time, only the two of them came to Seoul to participate in the upcoming World Science Fiction Film Festival, and they did not bring an interpreter, but communicated directly with the organizers of the festival.

The huge English name at the pick-up place made many reporters stop and stop, and they probably knew that "The Matrix" would appear at this time, so when Lin Han appeared, he was dazzled by the flashing lights!

There are no hugs, just two people, this scale does not look like a top person, but he is treated by the media several times more than the rest of the people.

"Hello Mr. Lin, I am Zhou Chao, a staff member of the organizer of the film festival, and I will serve as your guide and assistant during the film festival. There is already a car waiting outside, let's go to the hotel first! ”

Zhou Chao is a Korean-Chinese who can speak Chinese, English and Korean, so he was sent to receive Lin Han and his party.

"Then I'm bothering you."

Lin Han did not accept interviews with reporters, and he was a little tired by plane, especially when the flight was delayed!

The streets of Seoul look thriving, autumn is thick, and the leaves are piled up around the trunks of the trees.

The pedestrians on the road are also wrapped in autumn clothes, and when the wind blows, the dead leaves on the branches of the trees will flutter in all directions.

After more than forty minutes, they finally came to the hotel designated by the conference, and Lin Han's sleepiness was basically at its peak!

"Gentlemen, the opening ceremony will be held at seven o'clock tonight, and a special car will come to pick you up from under the hotel. The opening film of the festival is "Monster of the Han River", which is the daily screening schedule of the festival, so you can contact me if you have any needs. ”

Lin Han and Miao Hong took this time and place schedule, and he said to Zhou Chao: "Thank you, we know." See you in the evening! ”

Zhou Chao waved his hand and left by elevator, while Lin Han opened his door with a room card, and he said to Miao Hong: "Old Miao, now it seems that the Korean stick is trying to play a trick." ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Miao Hong was confused, he hadn't seen any signs at all.

Lin Han sat on the sofa and handed the screening schedule to Miao Hong, "The screening time of our film is actually the same time as the opening film!" ”

On the complete screening schedule announced by the organizing committee of the film festival, they will reasonably arrange 12 sci-fi feature films and 12 sci-fi short films and 10 sci-fi documentaries in the main competition unit in a few days, in addition to 8 special screening films and 8 midnight screenings, a total of 50 films can be imagined.

No matter how you look at it, "The Matrix" shouldn't be this treatment!

In terms of investment, Galaxy Pictures spent a full 200 million yuan on this movie.

In terms of fame, the novel adapted from the script of "The Matrix" sells well all over the world, and its sales and discussions in countries around the world remain high, making it the hottest science fiction novel this year and one of the most anticipated science fiction films by the audience this year!

In terms of casting, Xu Jiayan, an Asian superstar actor, serves as the villain, Shen Yanling was also a famous figure in Asia and has played many classic roles, although Rong Feiyu is worse, but they are all old actors, only Neo who plays the protagonist is worse.

Even in terms of media attention, none of the entire film festival can beat "The Matrix"!

There are so many advantages, but it is arranged at the same time as the opening film, are the audiences willing to miss the red carpet and the premiere of "Monster of the Han River"?

Are the media willing to miss this opportunity?

It was obvious that "The Matrix" could be staggered with the films in the main competition unit in a few days after tomorrow, but the Koreans did it, blatantly!

"How dare they!" Miao Hong was trembling with anger, even if a film like "The Matrix" was placed in film festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, and Venice, it would not be the current treatment!

Previously, in September, the Venice Film Festival also contacted Lin Han to see if they could invite "The Matrix" to their film festival premiere, even if they did not participate in the main competition.

It's a pity that the movie had just entered post-production at that time, and it was too late, so Lin Han had to politely decline.

The commercialization of the Venice Film Festival has become more and more obvious in recent years, and Lin Han can be regarded as having won the Best Screenplay Award at the Venice Film Festival, so the communication between the two sides is very good.

can take on the responsibility of the three major European film festivals, but it is underestimated by this world science fiction film festival, and this treatment is probably the worst among the 12 films in the main competition unit!

"Boss, it's all my fault. They shouldn't have insisted on coming to this festival, they are too much! Miao Hong regretted that he was trampled on by Koreans when he came to the film festival.

Lin Han snapped his fingers crisply at this moment, "It's not your fault, I'm here to compete." Hehe, in fact, when I saw this situation, I knew how good the quality of the movie was. If there was no threat to them, they would never do such a thing. It must be that the judges thought it was very good after watching the film, which caused a sense of crisis among the Korean sticks! ”

Miao Hong didn't want to deal with Koreans anymore in his life, so he said cautiously: "When the movie is shown tonight, shouldn't they also toss some moths?" Like a sudden power outage or a broadcast accident? ”

"I hope not. If that were to happen, we would rent a movie theater next door for The Matrix! ”

……

Night soon fell, Lin Han changed into the suit he brought, tied the bow tie, and then took a special car to the movie palace, at this time there were already many Korean stars on the red carpet.

But the moment Lin Han stepped on the red carpet, the originally idle media instantly became active, and those actors who were scratching their heads and posing suddenly found that no one was shooting them in pose!

Even the local reporters in South Korea have never taken care of these stars, they are almost brushing in unison to Lin Han who is striding over!

The sound of the shutter clicked one after another, and Lin Han didn't stop at all, just waved his hand, and he even surpassed the Korean actresses who were snails on the red carpet.

After meeting with Miao Hong, Lin Han didn't go to the largest theater to watch "Monster of the Han River" at all, but followed the signs on the road to the screening hall of "The Matrix", which seemed to only accommodate one or two hundred people, and there was no detailed sign at the door!

Fortunately, Miao Hong had already gone to print the poster in the afternoon, and the two of them would not end it until they pasted the poster with adhesive tape, at least to let others know which movie was being shown here.

"How many people do you think will come to see our films?" Miao Hong is a little worried, there is no signage, and he also encounters local Korean movies, this kind of treatment should not be more bleak.

Lin Han touched his chin, he said with a smile: "Count as much as you can, I found out that the schedule has also been published on the Internet, and those who are willing to watch our movie will pay attention to this time." ”

Being despised and neglected like this, Zhou Chao on the side felt quite ashamed, he looked at the empty seats in the screening hall, and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Lin, otherwise I will go outside to find someone to come over, there will definitely be people who are willing to watch this movie!" ”

"It's not until eight o'clock that it's officially showing, and there's still half an hour left, so don't worry." Lin Han looked confident, but in fact, he wasn't worried about this.

Sure enough, as the time approached, one audience after another walked towards this side, many of them were reporters with photographic equipment on their backs!

They didn't go to the premiere of "Monster of the Han River", but came to "The Matrix"!

Behind these reporters were many movie lovers, some of them talked and laughed, and some even trotted all the way, for fear that there would be no place.

The screening hall of nearly 200 people gradually filled, and Miao Hong began to pray that everything would go well.

"What does the organizing committee of the film festival think? Why only give "The Matrix" such a small screening room? A reporter was communicating in English with his colleague next to him.

The white photographer with a high nose and blue eyes shook his head, and he took advantage of the time to start using his laptop to surf the Internet to send the photos back to the editorial office, and replied, "It's not very clear, it's not very optimistic that this film will win the award." ”

"Lin Han was also on the scene, he really looked like an actor, not like a writer and director."

The audience at the back was chattering, not only with many Asian faces, but also with some Europeans and Americans sitting in the back.

"Why are we here to watch The Matrix? Kim Zhi and Oba, my friends, they all went to see "Monster of the Han River"! ”

"What is this movie about? Can the Chinese make a good sci-fi movie? ”

"There are so few people, and I regret it a little now. Let's just get out! ”

"Senior Kang Taehyung, we plan to go to the "Han River Monster" screening hall next to us, and see you later!"

"Zhongyuan, when the time comes, remember to come to the parking lot to find me."

This young man, An Zhongyuan, was about to get up and leave after saying hello, and when he stood up, he suddenly found that the seats were all full!

When he walked through the passage to the door of the screening hall, An Zhongyuan was surprised to find that there were many people standing at the door, and the doorman sealed the entrance to prevent people from entering.

"Uncle, please let me in!"

"This uncle, we have been queuing for a long time just to watch this "Matrix". If you don't have a seat, you can sit in the aisle without disturbing anyone else. ”

These young people begged bitterly, they knew they would have run faster, but now they can't even enter the screening hall!

An Zhongyuan's footsteps paused, and he immediately said to his companion: "Let's go back, we finally have a seat." ”

Kang Taehyung saw Ahn Jung-won who was going and returning, and he asked, "Aren't you going to watch "Monster of the Han River", why did you come back?" ”

"A lot of people outside are queuing up to see the next one, maybe it's a wonderful movie, and then I'll see 'Monster of the Han River' later."

As soon as the words fell, the lights in the screening room dimmed, the big screen lit up, and "The Matrix" officially unveiled its mystery!
