Time flies, and when the date of May 8 arrives, the premiere of the Three-Body Problem movie is finally held.

As a movie fan, Jones is very fortunate to live in Hollywood. Whenever there is a premiere, fans living in Hollywood can get some special opportunities to get up close and personal with their favorite movie stars.

This time is no exception, at the premiere of the Three-Body Problem, they also invited many fans to attend. And as an audience who has been following Levy's movies since a very early age, Jones also came here this time through some connections.

Jones was delighted to be there for the premiere — which was attended by both Levy and Denzel Washington, and while it wasn't the first time Jones had seen a star up close, he was still quite excited.

This is a rare treatment for others, here, he met the main actor, and, here, in front of reporters, director Levy is also explaining the idea of his film at close range, which also makes him feel that the trip is worthwhile.

"Some people say that my film is a commercial film, and some people say that it is a literary film, and I don't think there is any need to distinguish it so clearly. Of course I want the box office, and the more the better. And word of mouth, of course, it's best not to throw it away. I didn't make this film just to make money, but I didn't just want to promote humanity. What I hope more is to let some truths be better hidden in the story and shown to the public. ”

At the premiere, director Levy explained this idea he had for the film, and his answer. I don't know what the media thinks, but Jones is absolutely satisfied: it is enough to be able to admit that he wants the box office without losing sight of the connotation of the film.

And, he believed, Levy must have done it. Because just after Levy finished speaking, Washington also spoke, "This is the one that has touched me the most of all the roles I've ever taken over." Director Levy's character is quite interesting, and I was in the movie. Playing a small character. But I can do my best for something as big as saving the planet -- it's very different from other movies. ”

Washington's words gave Jones more confidence. Of course. He didn't believe that Washington would be just a little man in a movie. Actors like this. How is it possible to play a small person?

It's just that. Who will he play? It's also food for thought.

The only pity is that he didn't meet Isabella Adjani - this actor is also an actor he likes very much, and it is a pity that he didn't get to meet him.

But. This is also something that is not done: in addition to the premiere of the film in the United States, there are also premieres in Europe. As a European, Adjani doesn't particularly like to stay in Hollywood, and this time she attended the premiere in the UK. In the starring role, he didn't come here.

Clearly, Levy had a lot of faith in the film, and his desire to release it all over the world at the same time was a testament to his faith.

With this in mind, Jones also walked into the cinema. How about this movie, he has also been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Hello, my name is Dick."

The person sitting next to him said hello to Jones, who nodded, but suddenly, he noticed that Dick was still holding a strange-looking thing in his hand.

Noticing Jones' gaze, Dick also raised the object in his hand, "The lightning bolt of ball lightning, that's cool, right?" ”

This is what it is...... Jones nodded with some realization.

He has also watched that TV series. It's just that it's been a year, and he can't remember it very well. But this reminder, he also remembered, this is the model of the firearm used to fire ball lightning in the TV series.

It is said that in that TV series, there is indeed a model prop gun, which can be split into nine parts, except for the fact that it can't really fire lightning, the other structures are basically reasonable. After the TV series was broadcast, there were also many fans of the drama who bought that thing to collect, which was unexpected, and someone brought it here.

This movie is a science fiction movie, and obviously, science fiction fans are also indispensable here. Jones didn't expect that there was such a person sitting next to him.

"I was invited to the premiere because I bought a full disc of Ball Lightning. It's said that the ball lightning is nothing more than a pre-test of the film, which is really cool. Do you think there will be any new weapons or technologies in this movie? What will the aliens do with that proton? It's cool to think about. ”

Dick kept muttering around him, which reminded Jones of when he watched The Lord of the Rings, and those guys who dressed like dwarves and elves, these fanatical sci-fi fans, really couldn't understand.

However, he didn't take the initiative to provoke Dick, but Dick took the initiative to pat him, "Hey, do you know who I met and who I talked to?" ”

"Denzel. Washington? As a movie fan, Jones immediately blurted out the first name that came to mind.

Could it be that this stupid melon has seen a big star? Why didn't I have that good luck?

"What are you doing when you see him? What I saw was Michael. Rennick! ”

Dick has a somewhat ostentatious look: In the eyes of science fiction fans, Michael. Rennick is a legend of science fiction, winning multiple Hugo Awards, Nebula Awards, and even the Skylark Award, which represents a lifetime achievement in science fiction, and it is unimaginable for Dick to be able to watch a movie in a movie theater with such a person.

Looking at Dick's expression, Jones was slightly depressed, unexpectedly, in his heart, such a science fiction writer was even more famous than Washington.

In this theater, there are world-class stars, Hollywood celebrities, critics, and all kinds of celebrities.

And this name also made Jones a little narrow-minded.

"What's that? I met David just now. What about Brynn. ”

Jones said with some ostentation.

"David. Brin? Where is it? Where is it? ”

If Michael. If Rennick is a well-known writer, then David Brin means even more to more science fiction fans. It is even more incredible to meet this famous physicist, a consultant at NASA, a doctor of space science, the author of a series of novels, and a writer who is extremely good at describing the unique culture of space and extraterrestrial creatures.

"It's cool to be able to sit with David Brin and watch the same movie -- and it must be a good movie, otherwise David Brin wouldn't be coming...... Just, David. Does Brin really know what the movie is about? ”

Dick's emotions were a little excited, which was an eye-opener for Jones.

Unlike Dick, he was not surprised by the appearance of David Brin and others: he has been paying attention to the promotion of the movie, and unlike the Matrix side of the promotion of new stars, the publicity here has already appeared the evaluation of the movie by well-known science fiction writers.

Jones is a frequent moviegoer, and he knows that these evaluations are some of the studio's promotional tools. Claiming that his movies are loved by well-known physicists can make many viewers just convinced of the physics aspects of the movie, and he has seen a lot of this method. And this time, Levy was looking for only writers, and he thought it was nothing, but looking at Dick, it was clear that he didn't think so.

Looking at his excited expression, Jones was also a little embarrassed, "Haven't you heard?" This movie has the original novel, but the original novel is in Chinese, and it is also a Chinese version. For the sake of this film, the author of the novel rewrote it into an American version, and also translated it into English. Before the release of this movie, the translation of the novel has been sent to David Brin and other science fiction writers, who have praised the story. ”

"There's a fiction version of the movie, right? Where can I buy it? Hearing this, Dick opened his mouth directly.

"What are you anxious about? It must be after the movie is screened before the novel will be released. ”

The sale of peripheral products for movies has always been wiser. Spreading the novel all over the world before the movie was released is hard to say about the pros and cons of the movie. Although this can stimulate some fans, it is also easy to lose the suspense of the story.

In the first part of the Three-Body Problem, suspense is a very important thing, so what Levy chose is to remove some science fiction writers who need to be wooed to support the scene, and the novel version of the story should be put on the market after the movie.

These were all normal marketing tactics, but looking at Dick's appearance, Jones found that he seemed to be telling him something amazing.

"I'll definitely buy it when the time comes...... Not only buy the American version, but also the Chinese version. How to buy the Chinese version? Can it be sold? ”

Dick's muttering made Jones look back with some surprise, "You know Chinese?" ”

"Why should I know Chinese?"

"Then why did you buy the Chinese version?"

"For collections, of course." Dick's tone seemed reasonable.

I really don't understand you sci-fi fans...... Glancing at the model gun Dick was holding, Jones shrugged and ignored him. The fanaticism of these sci-fi fans is really a bit confusing.

However, having these avid fans is always a good thing for movies, right? With so many people supporting it, this movie Levy won't mess it up, right?

There was a lot of noise, the movie theater was already dark. The crowd that was still noisy just now was all quiet, they looked at the factory logo on the screen, and stopped talking.

After the factory standard, the picture began to appear on the movie screen.

This movie has finally begun. (To be continued......)
