Chapter 584: Premiere
It is precisely because the movie has a good response that many people watch the movie without too much publicity, so Li Xu played Xiaoxian inside and out for three days before distributing it to participate in the promotion, and Xu Ke could only pretend that he didn't know anything.
However, Wang Jixian is completely popular, different from another time and space, in another time and space, she basically had no works before "A Chinese Ghost Story", so she can only be regarded as popular.
And in this time and space, because there were three movies before, "Yin and Yang Wrong", "Little Fox Fairy", and "Ghost Bride", all of which had a box office of more than 10 million, and the female ghost was also very beautiful, and she was already a first-line or quasi-first-line female star.
So as soon as "A Chinese Ghost Story" came out, the popularity accumulated before suddenly exploded.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the relevant posters are posted, they will be gone in less than half a day.
The movies produced by Li Xu have always done enough publicity, and movie posters are spread all over the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, and they have been making single posters since "Sword and Horse".
In this case, Xiaoxian's single poster is still posted and gone, so you can imagine how enthusiastic the audience is.
Therefore, it is a good thing that the crew started to do publicity three days late.
Well, this is what Li Xu said, and the others naturally applauded.
Although they really wanted to stay for two more days, Ye Qianwen and Guan Zhilin were quite dissatisfied with him being tired of being by Wang Qixian's side, and they called him almost every day to beg him to come over, and he also wanted to go, but the things in the United States were very important.
On Thanksgiving, it's usually a family that eats turkey together, which is a tradition, and then Diana's belly is getting bigger and bigger, so she always has to accompany her, right? Moreover, "Sherlock Holmes in 2015", which has aroused many people's appetites, is scheduled on Thanksgiving.

"What do you think might happen, Andrew?"
"I don't know, frankly, the trailer is interesting, but ...... Maybe even if we have seen it, we may not be able to see it accurately. ”
In the huge screening room, two men sitting in the middle of the best viewing area are bowing their heads and whispering.
"In other words, could it be the next Star Wars?" Andrew Stein said this and glanced at Roger Ebert, who was sitting in the front row
"Maybe we can wait for Ebert's comment to come out before we write something?" Bob Duvall replied half-jokingly.
Roger Ebert, as a well-known film critic, was not optimistic about "Star Wars" at the beginning, and even thought it was a stupid movie, which has become a huge joke in the circle.
Of course, this also teaches all film critics a lesson, you can't be right forever, and you may fall into trouble at any time.
Therefore, really famous filmmakers actually cherish feathers, and prefer to use ambiguous methods to comment on those films whose prospects are difficult to determine. Ebert often said later that the content of the ratings and reviews he gave may be completely opposite, and a movie that has been given 3 points may not be recommended to watch, and I hope fans will take a look at the specific content.
It's hard to imagine that they would give the lowest score to the movie regardless of the fact that they hate a certain director or actor, and that situation must be a brainless halo.
"Anyway, the movie is about to start, and we'll find out soon." Stan said and pointed to the front, where the main creators were already seated.
Premieres are nothing new in North America, nor are premieres in Chinese theaters with large numbers of journalists and critics in attendance.
But compared to the kind of roadshows everywhere, publicity everywhere, interaction on stage before the start, and even various premieres held in hotels more than ten years later, the premiere that only needs to be on stage after the curtain call is over.
But no one knew that this was going to happen, and one guy wasn't going to do it now, so the screening room quickly went dark and the big screen lit up.
The old rule is always that the first thing that comes to mind is the logo of the production and distribution company, the snow-capped mountains of Paramount, and the lines of imagination.
The opening scene is very gripping, and when the picture is still dark before it lights up, Holmes's classic quote rings first: "Eliminate all impossible elements, and even if the rest is impossible, it is the truth." ”
Next up is the hall of a ship, where Holmes has solved a case and the killer is about to be revealed.
"By the time everyone heard the screams and rushed over, the murderer had already flown to the window at the other end, so that no one could find any traces," said Holmes, who was smoking a pipe, leisurely. ”
"Tell me, who killed my wife!" The tycoon, who was in a wheelchair, screamed excitedly.
"Her husband, that is, you!" Sherlock Holmes immediately pointed to the big tycoon.
If there were reborn people in the screening room at this time, they would definitely feel that the sense of déjà vu at the beginning was too strong, but unfortunately Sherlock Holmes couldn't play football, so he used his fists to knock each other down - quickly and neatly, very striking, but without destroying his own demeanor, so that the audience was very engrossed.
I have to say that Yuan Baye's martial arts finger is indeed the best, and under the heavy money, he really figured out a little bit of the fighting methods and cutting techniques of the Universe Dan's free fighting after 20 years, Yuan Baye is the master of the Universe Dan after all.
Although the actual effect on the big screen is still a little different from the picture in Li Xu's memory, it is still no problem to shock those Americans who only know how to punch to the flesh now.
This is followed by a relatively relaxed atmosphere of the story, to the deck, Sherlock Holmes, who is chilling under the stars, chats with the captain who came to thank him, and by the way, points out that he has said goodbye to his friend Watson, and is on the ship to New York, wanting to visit the New World, and the city is brightly lit in the distance, and even the Statue of Liberty can be seen.
Then, when talking about the previous case, Holmes said a line that runs throughout the movie: "Some things don't change, like humanity, like justice, Mr. Captain." ”
Then the previous criminal escaped to the deck, pushing away the captain Holmes and was suddenly knocked into the sea, because his clothes absorbed too much water, and sank a little deeper.
When he was trying to swim up to the surface, a man suddenly jumped into the water, grabbed him from behind, dragged him up, and when he came out of the water, he immediately shouted in American English, "I have caught him." ”
After getting on the stretcher, Holmes, who was a little dizzy, found that everything around him had become different, it was obviously night when he fell into the water, but when he came out, it became daytime, and the people around him were also dressed strangely, completely different from the Victorian style.
What's even more strange is the crowd of people coming and going on the street, some holding something to their ears and talking; Some have small things stuffed in their ears, a long line attached to their waists, their hands in their trouser pockets, and they are jumping and walking; Others sat on benches on the side of the street, banging on top of the box on their laps, and everything seemed so strange.
"What an interesting dream." A drenched Sherlock Holmes said to himself calmly.
