Chapter 191: Premiere
Li Mu was not surprised by this, "Thai Embarrassment" was released for ten days, with a box office of 450 million, according to the current trend, even if there is a huge threat of "Avatar" behind, it is easy to break the box office record of "Let the Bullets Fly".
Such a director with great ability or potential, no film company will refuse.
You must know how rare it is for a director who can make money and make a lot of money, and there are only Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang in the entire entertainment industry.
The former single-handedly supported the New Picture Film Company, and the latter is also the face of Huayi.
Whether it is in China or Hollywood, a director who can make money is more precious than any star.
A star, no matter how big a name is, what the company can get from him is the share of remuneration and advertising.
And a director can support a movie, not to mention the profits brought by the box office itself.
How many characters are there in a movie, how many people can be popular with these roles, and how much income can these popular actors bring to the company.
chatted with Xu Zheng about "Thai Embarrassment", and the two walked inside side by side.
When I came to the cinema, there were a few people at the entrance to greet me, and it seemed that it should be the senior management of Huaying and Huaxia Film Distribution Company.
"Hello Mr. Li, please inside!" The man shook hands with Li Mu first, and then looked at Xu Zheng on the side, "Oh, Director Xu, welcome, come, come, please!" After saying a few words, he called a staff member to take Xu Zheng to the front row.
"My big boss has been neglected!" Li Mu walked to his seat and said rather angrily.
"Look at you, why didn't you become a director yourself in the first place!" Chu Fei looked at Li Mu's indignant appearance and smiled.
"What's this, after the release of "The Return of the Great Sage", I want to see what their faces are!" Li Mu said.
At this time, there was still nearly an hour before the opening of the premiere, and the two were chatting there, chatting with the people next to them from time to time.
At 5:40, twenty minutes before the premiere, Lu Yi and a few of them also walked over after the red carpet.
"How is it, how do you feel?" Li Mu asked, looking at the obvious and somewhat excited looks of several people.
"Haha, it's so cool, thousands of people at the same time with my name, I'm still excited to think about it now!" Peng Yuyan said excitedly.
"There are so many people, and the fans are also very enthusiastic!" Although Liu Shishi tried to be calm, the smile in her eyes still betrayed her mood.
"What is this, when you participate in the three major film festivals in the future, you will know what the real red carpet is!" said Lu Yi, who came over.
"Okay, okay, let's all be quiet, make a fuss and let the family see the joke!" The time slowly approached six o'clock, and the scene gradually quieted down.
"Distinguished guests, good evening, welcome to the premiere of the movie "Avatar", I am the host Jing Wei!"
With the host on stage, the Chinese premiere of "Avatar" officially began.
The stars and the audience applauded facelessly.
However, Li Mu could still hear that the 100 fans in the back rows were still very excited, and even overshadowed the applause of more than 300 other people in the theater.
Next, after the host Balabala said a lot of scenes, Han Sanping, chairman of Huaying Group, a leader in the Chinese entertainment industry, took the stage to speak.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the premiere of Avatar, thank you!"
"Papa!" As Han Sanping finished speaking, there were bursts of applause at the scene.
followed by another businesslike speech, and Han Sanping calmly and calmly barabalaed a big chase on the stage.
Li Mu and others in the industry are okay, this is what they have long expected, in this country, as long as it is related to the meeting, it must be like this, such as: morning meeting, annual meeting, press conference, start-up press conference, class meeting or something, the leader will not be finished without a happy talk.
However, the next hundred viewers didn't have such good patience, and they were looking forward to watching the movie, but they had to listen to an old man chattering crookedly there, and there were constant complaints and discussions for a while!
Fortunately, Han Sanping's speech only lasted for half an hour, maybe there were no words, maybe his mouth was dry, Han Sanping announced that the movie officially started playing, "I won't say much if I have any extra words, the purpose of everyone's coming today is "Avatar", and now the movie is playing!"
After saying that, he walked away and sat down in the middle seat of the front row.
As Han Sanping finished speaking, everyone in the screening hall put on their 3D eyes and began to enjoy the movie!
"This old man is so annoying!" Peng Yuyan scolded before putting on his eyes.
"Shut up!" Li Mu was startled when he heard this, and quickly looked left and right, and was relieved to find that no one had noticed here.
"Can you talk in the future, if this reaches his ears, you can ask for more blessings, I won't care about you!" Li Mu made a rare fire.
Peng Yuyan also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and said against his head, "I'm sorry Mr. Li!"
"You are not young anymore, if you have the ability to cause trouble, you can solve it yourself, otherwise you will be careful in what you say!" Li Mu ignored them after speaking, and began to enjoy the movie.
Although I have a complete memory of the movie in my head, this is different from the IMAX-3D format when viewed live.
The first thing that catches your eye is the logo of 20th Century Fox.
The next picture is a lush jungle in the fog, reminiscent of a man's voice, which is easy to understand with subtitles.
"When I was lying in the veterans' hospital, facing the greatest misfortune of my life, paralysis of my lower limbs, I couldn't move an inch!"
"So I began to fly in my dreams, to fly freely!"
The beginning is clear, explaining the current situation of the male protagonist, a veteran, a disability!
"Wow!" The crowd was boiling at the beginning, not to mention the ordinary audience, even these professional filmmakers couldn't help but scream.
"Sure enough, it was made purely by computer, and it was so shocking and immersive!"
"Is this the work of Cameron for twelve years!"
In the screening hall, the entire 500 audience members were stunned by this realistic opening.
Although there have been movies in IMAX-3D format before, such as the disaster blockbuster "2012" that has just been drawn.
But the difference is that most of the 3D movies are 3D conversions or 3D shooting, and none of them are really all made of special effects and computer synthesis.
This is just the beginning, and more exciting is yet to come
