As the center of the entire American film industry, Hollywood has two most prominent theaters, one is the Kodak Theater (Kodak.Theater) and the other is the Chinese Theater (Grauman.Chinese.Theater). Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The former is so famous that everyone on earth knows that since the year after its completion in 2003, it has become a permanent venue for the annual Oscar ceremony. But in the absence of the Kodak Theater, the golden 100 years of the film industry, representing the glorious history of Hollywood, the world's film capital, is none other than this theater called "Huaxia".

In the course of this hundred years of the film industry, we Chinese people are busy overthrowing the three mountains on our heads, and have not made the slightest contribution to the film industry.

The reason why it is called "Huaxia Theater" is actually because the owner of this theater, Grauman, wanted a theater with a different and stylish style, and it happened that many of his friends were Chinese, so he adopted the Chinese style that was very mysterious and forced at that time to design the whole theater.

However, in Cheng Xiaoyu's view, the actual style of this theater that once held the Oscars is more Japanese, and it belongs to the magical Chinese style architecture that combines Chinese and Western, which is not quite the same as the simplicity of China, showing a gorgeous and charming temperament......

Cheng Xiaoyu's film will only be shown three times at the Huaxia Theater in Hollywood, and although there are no premieres attended by directors and actors, Universal has prepared premieres in 77 theaters, among which the "Huaxia Theater" is a relatively large event.

Another special thing is that the first broadcast of "Huaxia Theater" is nine minutes earlier than that of other movie theaters, which can barely be regarded as a premiere, after all, Cheng Xiaoyu is a Chinese, and spending money to rent Huaxia Theater to broadcast three shows can be regarded as a commemoration given to Cheng Xiaoyu by "Universal".

Cheng Xiaoyu and Wang Ou walked past the dense crowd in front of the theater and walked across the concrete floor in front of the Huaxia Theater full of superstar palm prints, flanked by two huge red pillars made of coral, each inlaid with a wrought iron mask.

Two red pillars support the copper roof above. Between the two red pillars is a 9-meter-high stone sculpture carved with a Huaxia dragon. To this day, two stone tengus, originally brought from Kakyo, still guard the entrance to the theater.

Walking to the door, Cheng Xiaoyu found that the place to buy tickets was on the side of the square, although he had tickets, but he still wanted to know how the tickets were sold, and the two had to squeeze through the crowd to go to the ticket hall, along the way Cheng Xiaoyu heard everyone discussing the "Declaration of Revenge", but obviously everyone was a little disappointed, because people who came to the "Huaxia Theater" almost didn't have to guess which movie was their goal.

Cheng Xiaoyu also saw a blonde girl take out her mobile phone and take pictures of the huge poster of the man in black hanging in front of the ticket hall, and the mustache that seemed to be her boyfriend on the side discussed: "This is really disappointing, I thought there would be a more interesting design when I came to the cinema, but it's a pity......"

The mustache was also swiping his phone, raised his head and glanced at it and said, "I also think that I just want the movie not to be too boring......

After the blonde girl took the photo of the poster, she was shooting the main entrance of the "Huaxia Theater" again, and said indifferently: "Aren't horror movies all like that?" I bet it's not as scary as Texas Chainsaw Massacre......"

The mustache whispered and said: "Judging from the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" that the appearance of the man in black on the poster is basically copied, this film is just like that....... I just want to see if I win the lottery or not....."

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but glance at the mustache's mobile phone, the photo of the crowd taken at the entrance of the theater, and the large poster of the man in black, the "whisper" was also very simple, "I don't know if I am the only one who came to the scene and felt disappointed, and I am making an evaluation after watching the movie...... The words behind it have passed by before I can see it clearly.

Walking to the ticket hall, there was no one queuing, which made Wang Ou feel a little strange, after all, there were still a lot of people in the square, he was a little uneasy, turned his head to Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "Won't these be all tourists?" ”

Cheng Xiaoyu is still very confident in this viral marketing and shook his head: "I think today's tickets have been sold out...... at least 500 tickets for the first show of 'Huaxia Theater' are 'Universal' and I have bought them and given them away, there are many film critics and media people, although I don't think they will write anything good to say about me, but the surface work still has to be done ......"

Wang Ou patted his chest and said, "That's good..... I'm really a little worried......"

The two walked to the glass window and saw that there was a sign of "sold.out" hanging on it, Wang Ou immediately smiled and said, "Hey! Xiao Yu is really sold out......"

Cheng Xiaoyu knocked on the window and alarmed the ticket clerk who was playing with his mobile phone inside: "When will the tickets be sold out?" Will tomorrow's tickets be sold again? ”

The curly-haired man put down his phone and said, "There are still some tickets for tomorrow, and today's tickets are sold out early, and a lot of people gather here during dinner in the afternoon...... They are all here to find the "Declaration of Revenge...... There is no promotional activity outside, but there is a ...... inside the theater Do you need to buy a ticket for tomorrow? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Thank you, I have to think about it...... It doesn't feel like it's worth going in and seeing......"

The curly-haired man shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is not good, I think at least the promotional activities are quite creative, and the movie will not be too bad....."

Cheng Xiaoyu said "thank you" again and left the ticket hall, and said to Wang Ou, who was smiling: "There is only one hall in the Huaxia Theater, and the good ticket sales do not mean that there is a problem, but more than 1,000 tickets are sold out, which means that our publicity is still quite successful." ”

"You see so many people taking pictures and discussing our movie, I think it will definitely be a big hit like "My Sassy Girlfriend"......" Wang Ou has been trying to listen to what the people around him are discussing, even if he doesn't necessarily understand other words, but he still knows how to pronounce the words "Declaration of Revenge", and Wang Ou's name is also hung in the staff list, although others may not pay attention, but it is also an honor for him.

Cheng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "With a box office of hundreds of millions, to be honest, I am still very confident, but with 200 million, it really depends on luck......"

"I believe you..... Xiaoyu, come on! ”

"Let's go! Let's go in and take a look...... "Cheng Xiaoyu is also thinking about what he should do if the box office fails to meet expectations, this is a good habit he has developed now, and he must keep a back hand in doing things.....

Entering the Huaxia Theater, the dazzling interior with a strong Chinese design amazed the two, in the hall, there is an elaborate wall, on which the murals tell people about the life of the Oriental. Also impressive are the crimson and gold pillars and the huge Chinese chandeliers.

And the center of the hall is doing the so-called premiere event, although it is called a premiere event, but in fact it is not very grand, in fact, there are people in black with masks in the theater and the audience to take a group photo, there are costumes on the side, the audience can choose to play the killer, or they can choose to play the person who was killed, take photos or videos.

At this moment, there is a couple holding movie tickets who are taking a photo of POSE and the man in black, in addition, there are also two scenes of famous horror movies set up in the hall, which are quite restored, all of which are moved to the scene with props from the movie produced by "Universal".

Cheng Xiaoyu and Wang Ou did not need to buy tickets or queue up for a group photo, so they took the opportunity to visit this prestigious theater, the west end of the hall is a glass case, which contains three wax figures from the Hollywood Wax Museum, which look like some big stars, they are all wearing Chinese costumes.

It is said that before deciding to start a new filming project, filmmakers often come to Chinese cinemas and touch the wax figures with their own hands. They believed that doing so would bring them good luck, so Cheng Xiaoyu also reached out and touched it, hoping that this time he could bring a little good luck to his box office.

Wang Ou likes to take pictures, and keeps shooting around, waiting for a whisper.

Cheng Xiaoyu is in the lobby touring many of the costumes on display, including the low-cut white dress worn by Elizabeth Taylor in "PlaceintheSun" in 1951. The one that caught my eye the most was indeed this set of accessories, which the superstar used in the famous Cleopatra in 1963.

At this time, his phone rang, Cheng Xiaoyu took it out and saw that it was a call from Sun Jingyao, after the movie was filmed, she went back to Huaxia when she didn't work, her sister found a matching kidney source because of uremia, and it didn't take long to replace the kidney, so she wanted to go back and see more, so she could only miss the premiere of her first Hollywood blockbuster.

Cheng Xiaoyu connected the phone, and Sun Jingyao's somewhat sweet and greasy baby voice sounded inside, she usually speaks like this, but she pays special attention when acting, so it doesn't sound like this.

"Xiaoyu, congratulations on the official release of the movie!"

"You say that, can't I congratulate you on the release of your first Hollywood movie?"

"I'm just an inconsequential supporting character......"

"That's not it, you're the first person to appear, I'm sure your performance will leave a deep impression on everyone, some people only need a short time to shine a huge light, believe me Sister Yao, you also have such a trait......"

"Your mouth is so sweet, to be complimented by you like this, I think Americans really have to worship you as a teacher, they just say a few words over and over, you are so sexy, you are so beautiful, you are really God's darling......"

"It is our Chinese culture that has given me this ability.......

Sun Jingyao's phone call just ended, and then Xia Shamo's phone came again, another blessing, regretting that he couldn't accompany Cheng Xiaoyu to watch the premiere, Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and comforted Xia Shamo a few words, and hung up the phone, and then the phone kept ringing, all blessing calls, Aunt Zhou, Xu Qinning, Duanmu Linsha, etc......

Because Huaxia's propaganda has not started yet, in fact, not many people in Huaxia know, presumably these people know through Xu Qinning, but Xia Shamo must have been told to her by Wang Ou.......

Aunt Zhou also told Cheng Xiaoyu to come back for the New Year, Cheng Xiaoyu just smiled and didn't agree, and Aunt Zhou just sighed and didn't continue.

After answering a phone call, the movie was about to start, Cheng Xiaoyu went to call Wang Ou, who was taking pictures everywhere with his mobile phone, and the two walked into the huge "Huaxia Theater" with the flow of people, and were immediately shocked by the Chinese style luxury created by the red dignity and yellow magnificence, at this moment they are indeed like in a Chinese theater. There are 2,200 big red seats here, and the red carpet on the ground is unusually bright, and the seats are full of seats at a glance.

Above the auditorium, a spectacular chandelier hangs in the center of the theater, forming a large and brilliant starburst surrounded by a ring of dragon motifs. The relatively small but oriental sconces are inlaid in the middle of intricately carved stone pillars and illuminate the sides of the auditorium.

Looking up, there is a huge extremely exquisite and splendid ceiling, which is difficult to find in China.

The position of the two is one of the best positions, after sitting down, the lights began to dim slightly, and some movie advertisements began to play on the screen, Cheng Xiaoyu actually saw the advertisement of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4", the picture is mainly based on Catherine and Douglas, at the beginning, the wonderful Catherine appeared in front of a white villa, Catherine's appearance immediately caused many cheers and whistles, which shows how popular she is in the United States, and then the scene that Cheng Xiaoyu saw on the set, Catherine appeared in the basement, a murderer with a chainsaw, splitting a supporting character in half.......

Cheng Xiaoyu sat on the left side of a fat man, with a tonnage of at least two hundred and five upwards, much more terrifying than when Cheng Xiaoyu was the fattest, and his huge body took up a lot of space, making Cheng Xiaoyu feel that he was breathing less air.

He couldn't take his eyes off the trailer on the big screen, and heard a fat man next to him holding popcorn, and said vaguely to his friends while eating: "I didn't expect Catherine's body to be so spicy!" My God, I must watch this movie, I don't have high requirements for this movie, it can be half the level of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4", this ticket price is worth it....."

The fat man's friend also grabbed a handful of popcorn from the popcorn tube and said, "Andrew, don't have such high expectations, you must know that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment...... The director and actors of this movie still don't know who they are, how can it be compared to "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" ......"

"Maybe there's a surprise?"

"Haha! Isn't it a horror movie? It's supposed to be frightening......."

"By the way, what's the movie called? Is it written on the poster? ”

"I didn't write it..... I also asked the staff just now...... I have to say to the code when I buy a ticket, and I'm also drunk..... Didn't you pay attention when I started buying tickets? ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the 'whisper', what's the code?"

"The conductor asked me what you did last summer?"

"How did you answer?"

"I said I went out on a date with my girlfriend and her girlfriend last summer......"

"And then?"

"Then he smiled and told me, congratulations, you are now a live video ........ the website"

The fat man holding the popcorn heard his friend's answer and laughed at the coke in his mouth, and then hurriedly said sorry to the people around him, at this time a few trailers were just finished, the lights in the theater were all dimmed, and the noise around all quieted down, and the huge Universal logo appeared on the big screen, followed by the three-D statue of Su Yuxi holding the torch gradually appeared, as well as the Chinese and English signs of "Xichu Films".

Seeing this unfamiliar sign, there was a whisper in the movie theater, all discussing what kind of company it was, not only had they never heard of it, but it didn't seem to be an American company.......

To everyone's surprise, there was still no movie name at the beginning, and there was no information about the director and actors, so it went straight to the point, a white house appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this scene was very similar to the scene in the trailer of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" they saw just now.

With the flash of flashlight lights and the quiet chirping of cicadas, the camera pans forward to a lit stove with a small pot covered in tin foil roasting popcorn......

The phone rang, and Duosun Jingyao, who was hotter than Catherine just now, appeared in the camera, and the beautiful and sexy Sun Jingyao made the air stir at once, she picked up the phone and said: "hello....."

A gloomy and hoarse voice sounded on the other side, "wanan.have.little.fun?" (Want to have some fun?) )

"Who are you?"

"Yours first, right?"

"I don't want it!"

Cheng Xiaoyu was familiar with this scene and the rolling melon, he didn't watch the movie, but turned his head around to see the expressions of the audience, obviously the audience was expressionless at the beginning of such a routine, either chewing popcorn, or drinking Coke, and some people were even playing with their mobile phones, which attracted the attention of people patrolling the theater......

"What sound?"

But then Sun Jingyao looked back at the video with the phone and said, "I farted!" This dialogue immediately shocked the people in the movie theater, and the fat man who was drinking Coke next to Cheng Xiaoyu sprayed the ground again.......
