Chapter 348: The admiration is endless
In China, the movie doesn't need much publicity.
This is the benefit of an overseas counteroffensive to the interior.
Blindly worshipping foreign countries is not only a common problem of filmmakers. Although the audience is always aggrieved by domestic films, in fact, when the Hollywood blockbuster is released, they can't wait for two legs to be missing, and they have to go to the cinema to cheer for it.
What's more, this time it's still a movie like "Inception" with a full Chinese background. The audience who is a little more literate and young is even eager to define "Inception" as a Chinese film. But that's just wishful thinking.
But I have to say that the global fire of "Inception" this time has really raised the face of the Chinese for a while. If the root of Japan's pride in Hollywood is Sony Columbia, then now, the growth of the family film industry has become the spiritual support of the Chinese people overseas.
There is a Yao giant in the NBA, and there must be a Hu Yifei in Hollywood.
At noon on May 19, "Inception" organized a movie premiere, and many Chinese superstars were invited, making the star lineup of the night unprecedentedly strong. Jiang Wen walked on the red carpet with a small bow tie, "I'm here to watch and see what magic this movie is?" ”
The four little flowers were led by Tang Yan, and Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Huang Shengyi appeared one after another, which made the reporter's film on the red carpet insufficient. The term Sixiaohuadan, which first began in 2000, is difficult to trace its origin. At that time, in 2002, Zhao Wei, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Xu Jinglei, four post-70s mainland actresses, were collectively called "Four Little Flowers" by "Southern Metropolis Daily", and this word gradually entered the public's field of vision; With the growth of age and qualifications, now Big Multimedia calls these four people the "Four Great Flowers".
Today's four little flowers are selected by Facebook, Tencent, Sina and other hundreds of mainstream media in the industry, and voted by millions of netizens. The new generation of entertainment stars born in the 80s is the "Four Little Flowers" officially selected for the first time.
are all products of the entertainment industry, but compared with the four major flowers, they are obviously too immature and have not yet gained a firm foothold in their own fields.
However, the popularity and potential have been fully demonstrated. When they stand together, not all first-line actresses have to automatically get out of the way, for fear of being put together for comparison. Of course, Fan Binbin and Lin Zhiling, who have their own characteristics, are naturally not afraid.
Fan Binbin used to be quite a child, but after following Hu Yifei for a while, his horizons have broadened a lot. After all, the man who sleeps with herself is now a well-known figure in the world, so she can't lose too many points, otherwise won't she fall behind? And with Tang Yan here, he can't steal the limelight with his own people.
Huayi also brought its stars to the scene, and they also invested a sum. Seeing that the global sales trend of "Inception" is obvious, the regret is rising again, why did I hesitate again at the beginning, I would have invested a little more if I had known. Zhou Xun, who is the first sister of Huayi, is also very beautiful today. and Zhang Ziyi, who was also fighting in the same scene. When Hu Yifei saw the two of them, he wanted to ask, but this posture of standing together scared him, and he didn't have time to hide.
But no matter how many guests steal the limelight today, they can't steal the limelight from today's protagonists.
When Charlize Theron took Hu Yifei's arm and appeared on the stage, the audience was in a hurry, and the sound almost sounded the siren of the car in the parking lot three kilometers away.
"Hu Yifei! Hu Yifei! Hu Yifei! ”
I don't know when, the shouts of thousands of fans who have gathered have become uniform, and they rhythmically chant the brightest stars in the audience to express their love: "Hu Yifei, Hu Yifei!" ”……
It's unbelievable!
In this environment where thousands of people were singing in unison, Liu Dehao, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Zhongjun and others were a little speechless, looking at Hu Yifei's overly young face over there. It's a miracle that the fans are so crazy with their moves! Many media outlets covering other Asian countries are also amazed - this is the top superstar!
Except for a few old faces, baby is the most eye-catching among the new actors.
is full of topics, beautiful people have a sweet smile, and she also serves as one of the protagonists of such a big production. Walking on the red carpet, I found that this little girl is also a clothes rack, and her ability to murder film is no worse than anyone else's.
……
Zhang Yimou, who had just finished his work today, was going to go home to rest, but he passed by a theater and saw a long queue to buy tickets, and realized that today is the day when "Inception" will be released. He suddenly couldn't help it, wanting to take a good look at what was so strange about this movie that could make Hollywood so keen to pay for him?
After sending the driver out of the car to buy two tickets, he specially found a hat to put on, blended into the crowd and walked into the cinema. Facts have proved that the audience will not care if a raunchy old man can enter the cinema, Zhang Yimou is not a handsome guy, and walking in the crowd when he is not on camera does not have much of a return rate. The audience cares more about this movie.
The movie was released, and the film was played at the premiere and in 90% of the country's theater share.
Sure enough, not long after it started, there were unstoppable exclamations in the theater. Especially the audience who bought high-priced tickets to watch IMAX shows in home theaters exclaimed again and again.
Zhang Yimou also watched the movie patiently, and I have to say that Hollywood's special effects are indeed too advanced. Decades beyond domestic special effects, this is very frustrating. He doesn't really know much about digital special effects, and his movies look grandiose, but he actually prefers extravagant spending. For example, in "Golden Armor" this time, countless chrysanthemums were used to forcibly lay the picture luxuriously and beautifully.
Now it seems that if you use special effects, it doesn't seem to be necessarily worse than real-life chrysanthemums.
Perhaps this is the difference between the old man and the young who accept new things, and he instinctively trusts physical film shooting.
This "Inception" gave him a glimpse of the "Source Code" time, and perhaps at that time he had already begun to plan a sci-fi blockbuster. But science fiction? He may try it in the future, but he won't move at all in ten years. The movie is over, and in a word: "Alas......"
Zhang Yimou let out a long sigh, he didn't know what to say, and walked out of the theater in a daze. When I came in, I was fine, but when I went out, I was found by the reporter, and I immediately "clicked" and took a photo. In the end, this picture of sighing again and again was also put on the Internet and became the talk of countless netizens after dinner.
At this time, the crew had already left at the beginning of the movie, and took the crew members to Hong Kong on a private jet non-stop, where there was an opening ceremony to attend in the evening.
Hu Yifei also sighed that he was fortunate to buy two, otherwise he would really not have been able to turn around.
But the domestic audience has just finished watching a sensational movie.
"Just came back from People's Square, the movie met or even exceeded my expectations, I feel that this is the best movie I have ever seen, it is worth you to pay a lot of money to watch it once, of course, the ordinary version is also available, but the IMAX version is highly recommended."
The earth keeps spinning like a spinning top, except for Japan, which is not released synchronously, "Hu Yifei" has landed on the big screen of ordinary theaters and IMAX theaters in most countries and regions around the world, showing one after another every day, and naturally more and more global movie fans and audiences share their viewing feelings on the Internet.
As of December 31, 2005, there were a total of 648 IMAX giant screens in the world, of which 113 were in academic institutions such as science and technology museums, showing documentaries with a length of about 40-50 minutes. The same is true for China, where IMAX has just signed an agreement for the 25th IMAX(R) system in China, which is expected to be fully opened in 2008, making China the world's largest market for IMAX after the United States.
It is only through the efforts of the home courtyard line that at least one screening hall in each theater in China is equipped with IMAX playback equipment. In addition, there are only two pieces of Shanghai Peace Movie City, two pieces of Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and one piece of Heilongjiang Science and Technology Museum.
It can be said that in the whole of China, if you want to go to see an IMAX movie, you can only enter the home theater.
"I just came back from watching it, and I ran more than 50 kilometers back and forth, and the IMAX giant screen was really different, and I was shocked. The most ridiculous thing was my buddy, who drove me there, and said to me, 'It's going to be on the Internet soon, what are you going to do there?' I was speechless, but when I came out, he was silent. ”
On Facebook, a group of fans and netizens who were lucky enough to watch the IMAX version of "Inception" were full of emotion, and in this ""Inception" post-viewing topic", there were no people who said it was not good-looking, "Jiawen who does not zip his pants" wrote: "I am going to watch it, a friend said it was very good, and a friend said that he was so excited that he woke up laughing at night after watching it." ”
A netizen with the ID name "Huai Zuo Tong Buyi" wrote: "I have long known that Hu Yifei is awesome, but I was still shocked! What's more, how can there be such a good person, he is younger than me this year, and he is already the richest man. Fuck, I want to get back into my mom's belly and do it all over again, it must have been my mom who got her head in the back when she gave birth to me. And then his mother happened to be quite fashionable, and even had a Facebook and followed him. This sentence was seen, and he was immediately scolded, "I should have killed you at that time, what did you do when you got out?" ”
The tragedy of "Huaizuo Tong Buyi" was smiling, and many people laughed and paid attention to what happened and whether they would starve when they went home.
……
In fact, in order to promote IMAX and meet the needs of audiences in commercial theaters, IMAX launched a new technology DMR (Digital-Re-Mastering) as early as a few years ago, that is, digital original reproduction technology, which can be used to deepen and strengthen 35mm film, which can be screened in IMAX theaters. So far, IMAX has released 8 DMR-processed commercial blockbusters, including "Star Wars Episode 2", "The Matrix" 2 and 3, and "The Polar Express".
Hu Yifei knew the future development trend and set up an IMAX theater at the beginning, and this time it was a lot of money.
The global box office of "Inception" is super hot, and it is not only the theater owners who are ecstatic, but also IMAX! Ecstasy, ecstasy!
They should be thankful to Hu Yifei, because this is the first time that a blockbuster shot with an IMAX camera has been taken, not a post-processed picture.
In this domestic schedule, it is basically invincible.
I thought that in Hong Kong, there would be some entanglements, but when Hu Yifei and others stepped off the private plane.
The crowded scene at the airport once again frightened everyone.
Liu De laughed and said, "Welcome-to-HongKong! (To be continued.) )
