Chapter 64: Trip to Europe

As Christmas approaches, Li Wei needs to leave the crew for a few days, which will not delay the progress of the film. Finch has already started filming on location, and the crew has a lot of work to do, so it won't cause a downtime. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Wei first went to Los Angeles to attend the release of "New Father-in-law", and only got together with Miss Lai for half a day, and then boarded a flight to Europe non-stop, and his first stop was France.

This was arranged by the distribution company of Bowei, because "Hurricane Rescue" was an inexplicable explosion at the box office in France.

In view of the fact that "Hurricane Rescue" promotes the ugly side of Paris, Bo Wei decided to land in French theaters ahead of schedule, and was even ready to hit the street at the box office, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The film has only been released for one day, and it has been put on the vice president of Bowei, who is in charge of distribution, Nina. Yabusen was taken aback, she did not advertise in a large area, but the major French media were overwhelmingly pouring out news about Li Wei, which caught her off guard, and after investigation, she figured out that it was the French who committed self-esteem.

"This film humiliates Paris!" The film critic of the French film magazine, Tessier, gave such a title.

There is also a sentence after the title, "But the film itself is quite wonderful, I have never seen such a whimsical action movie, the director actually interprets violence into aesthetics, this is a unique film art, I am going to recommend it to the Cannes Film Festival next year." ”

"The film portrays Paris as a devil's cave for women traffickers!" This is the headline written by the film critic Le Figaro in a column.

The title is followed by the same sentence, "It grossed over $200 million in the United States, and all the young people in America have seen it, but I think their young women still come to Paris because their young men are good at escorting!" ”

And the most interesting media is Le Parisien.

Joseph, the editor-in-chief of the outlet, a native of Paris, was so angry after watching "Hurricane Rescue" that he began to investigate the director's profile, and then sent a fiercely worded letter of inquiry to his colleagues in the United States.

The letter said: "The director of this movie has been in prison, and the starring actor is an exhibitionist, all of whom are outright villains, are you guys wrong, they are even praised as the most popular stars!" ”

The American colleague, who works for the Los Angeles Observer, immediately replied succinctly, "First, it's the same person, and second, he's an arsonist!" ”

The editor-in-chief, Joseph, maverick, continued to send: "Please tell me his phone number, I like interviewing bad guys the most!" ”

Unfortunately, Joseph did not contact Li Wei, and in a fit of rage, he opened a column in the entertainment section of Le Parisien.

The caption reads: "'Hurricane Rescue' star Will . Lee steals a pit bull in Paris, and the owner of the dog is ready to prosecute him for theft! ”

Of course, more media are talking about it,

"Will. Who is Lee? ”

When Li Wei arrived in Paris, "Hurricane Rescue" had just been screened for a week, with more than 2 million viewers in the first week and a cumulative box office of $11 million.

"Terminator 2" received as many as 6 million viewers in France, but Governor Schwaz is not the most popular American star in France, Tom Tom is, two years ago, Tom's "Rain Man" was released in France, exceeding 6.4 million viewers and sweeping away more than $30 million at the box office.

The charm of the handsome king is not ordinary, and a handsome face alone can overturn the indestructible Governor Schwa!

When Li Wei received news from the French press, he had a bad feeling, which reminded him of the situation when "The Killer's Tragedy" was screened in the United States, and the national media launched a unanimous attack, which he really did not want to enjoy a second time.

But Li Wei still arrived in Paris, he is a foreigner, not afraid of the siege of the French at all, as long as he is willing to contribute to the box office, let them scold.

When Li Wei got off the plane and came out of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, reporters from all over Paris seemed to be dispatched to chase him.

The first question of the reporter's interview was: "Lee, what do you think about someone accusing you of stealing a dog in Paris?" ”

"I don't understand French!" Li Wei replied without thinking about it.

"I'm speaking English, Lee!"

"This is 100% a false accusation!" Li Wei was escorted by bodyguards and forced his way into the reporter's blockade.

Next, the reporters began to shoot nonsense:

"Lee, did you burn down the school library when you were in middle school? Did you just set the fire and run away, or did you stay on the scene and watch the show for a while? ”

"Lee, you have been imprisoned four times, and each time you have been shut down for the illegal operation of dance halls, is there no regular dance hall in the United States, or do you like to work illegally?"

"Lee, the Paris Tourist Board has listed you as persona non grata, please tell us what you think!"

……

Li Wei didn't have any opinions, he no longer responded to any questions, and soon got into a Peugeot sedan, and after leaving, he couldn't calm down for a long time, he was likely to become popular in France, but the way he became popular made him very unhappy.

At the beginning of the year, when "The Killer's Tragedy" was released in Europe, the film was a dark horse for a while, but it was limited to this, the European media mainly focused on the movie itself, Li Wei was just an American, and his fame was not enough, so he couldn't arouse the appetite of the European media at all, and his detailed resume was not reported.

But this time is clearly different.

The attention of major European media began to skyrocket, on the one hand, the publicity effect of Bowei Company, and the other is that "Hurricane Rescue" became popular at the box office after its release in various countries, so it triggered a chain effect.

This trip to Europe, Liv. Taylor did not accompany him, and a public relations assistant was sent by Bowei to receive him.

In the next three days, Li Wei had to run all over six or seven countries in Western Europe in one go, the schedule was in full swing, and the worksheet had been handed to him by the public relations assistant, he first looked at the event arrangements in France, mainly participated in the meet-and-greets held by several large cinemas in Paris, and there were no TV interviews, so he basically didn't have to deal with reporters anymore, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He only had to stay in France for half a day, and then he had to go to Germany to attend the premiere press conference held in the early hours of the morning, so many countries in Europe, he actually only wanted to go to Spain, the famous wild girl he had admired for a long time, and he didn't know if he had debuted now, he was very curious.
