Chapter 249 Premiere (I)

"Kung Fu", written, directed and acted by Wen Yi, will premiere in Los Angeles and is also known as the first Chinese film to premiere overseas by Chinese media. However, strictly speaking, although this film is from the hands of Wen Yi, there are also many Chinese actors involved, and even the post-production zuò is also a Chinese film company, but it is not a complete Chinese film.

It's a co-production film after all.

However, among the films released in Los Angeles, this film undoubtedly has the most faces of Chinese actors so far. Even at the premiere, it was a Chinese actor supporting the scene.

Among the Chinese actors, Wen Yi is probably the only one who can really support the scene. Although Lin Yuyan and Yuan Fang are familiar with each other in North America and other places because of "Resident Evil", they are not enough to support the premiere of a film, at least not many media will attend the premiere of this film because of the two of them.

In addition to Wen Yi, who can support this film, I am afraid it is Jason, a Hollywood superstar. However, it's a pity that this guy can't come tonight.

Jason's absence is obviously a great loss for the premiere of "Kung Fu", at least it will lose a lot of attention because of it.

"It's a shame that Jason can't come! If he comes, he will definitely attract more media attention. Frank said with some grumbling.

"He's fine if he didn't go to the other side. It's fair that neither side participates. Wen Yi smiled and said.

"Fair? What's fair! In your Huaxia words, Jason is here, and it is a send-off in the snow. Going over there is just the icing on the cake! He does not participate. Losses on both sides. But it is our side that has lost the most. Frank said, "Why haven't you heard the slightest wind in Dog's Day Colombia before?" ”

Although Wen Yi is famous, it doesn't rely on movies after all. At the premiere of the movie, Jason was clearly more attractive to Western media and fans than Wen Yi.

"Hehe, when you hear the wind, do you want to change the release date? Then Columbia is clearly coming for my movie. There is no way to avoid it. Wen Yi smiled and said.

"Didn't you just turn down their invitation in the first place? You need it! I heard my friend Lucas say. The early stage of this film was forced by Columbia Film and Television. Although he thinks that this time is not the best release period, it is not up to him to decide when the film will be released. Frank shook his head.

"Huh. They didn't block my film because I refused their invitation. Wen Yi smiled and said.

Columbia staged a film directed by the great director Lucas and starring Jason in advance, in order to naturally block Wen Yi's film.

Previously, Wen Yi almost starred in the second male lead in this film. However, this film is about Japanese karate and other fighting techniques. There are some similarities with Wen Yi's "Kung Fu". Of course, to be precise, that film is an action movie, not a kung fu movie.

"Two films. Some similarities will definitely be judged on a winner or a loser! Some media outlets are already talking. The encounter between the two films is a screen duel between Japanese kung fu and your Chinese kung fu. Frank looked at Wen Yi and said.

"Huh! They're not a kung fu movie, it's an action movie. Wen Yi smiled, then looked at Frank and asked, "You and director Lucas are friends, from his tone, you can hear how confident he is in his film?" ”

"I have faith in you!" Frank replied not as asked.

Wen Yi smiled and didn't speak.

"Do you have confidence in the performance that will be held later? That's not a joke, a bad one will kill someone. Frank suddenly said, "You can detonate the media and attract attention." But if something happens, it's not good. ”

"Huh! If something happens, wouldn't this film be even more popular! Wen Yi smiled, saw Frank stunned, and then said, "Don't worry." Not to mention a pistol, even a sniper rifle may not hurt me. Even if the person with the gun is the master of the gun. I just want to give everyone a consciousness. What kind of karate in Japan, ninjutsu or something, in front of my Chinese kung fu, it is weak. ”

Didn't the media say that this is a screen showdown between Japanese kung fu and Chinese kung fu? Lao Tzu Huaxia Kung Fu can perform to dodge bullets, can you? Do you dare? No matter how big your visual effect is, it is not as impactful as Lao Tzu's hand.

The one who replaced himself as the second male lead in that film was a Japanese actor, and he really had real kung fu. Playing the role of a Japanese boxer, he performs in some true colors. However, that person Wen Yi has seen it, and he has not practiced dark energy, or even bright energy. Let him perform dodging bullets, that is to send him to death.

With this gimmick, Wen Yi was able to crush them.

Huaxia Kung Fu is not afraid of guns! This is a big discussion sparked in the production of Wen Yi's film.

Seeing is believing, hearing is false. In any case, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and no matter how fanciful I say it, I still maintain a skeptical attitude. Of course, if Wen Yi performed in front of everyone, it would naturally be more convincing.

At the premiere, the performance dodges bullets. Wen Yi made a decision after careful consideration.

In this way, you can not only promote your own movies, but also promote Chinese kung fu. It would be even better if you could step on Japanese martial arts.

Wen Yi naturally knows why Columbia Pictures wants to release the film in advance. It's nothing more than a grudge between himself and the Japanese martial arts community. Perhaps, there is also some commercial competition involved.

After all, if my film is released in North America and other places, not to mention causing a sensation, it has achieved excellent results, I am afraid that it will not only affect the market of the Japanese martial arts community in North America, but also the market of Japanese films in North America.

Today, many Westerners still see Japanese culture as the culture of the East.

Lionsgate is still influential in Hollywood. At the premiere of "Kung Fu", it is naturally impossible to have only Chinese actors such as Wen Yi and other Western actors such as Megan, the heroine of this film.

There are still many Hollywood big names invited to cheer. While Jason's absence dimmed the stardom of this premiere, it didn't affect it much.

"Master Dai! Thank you so much this time! Wen Yi said to Master Liao Qihua.

"Huh! If you can do something for the national arts, it is incumbent on us to practice martial arts. What's more, strictly speaking, we also want to thank you, Master Wen, there are a lot of media this time. I believe that after tonight, the martial arts hall on stage will definitely attract a new round of popularity. Master Dai smiled and said.

Wen Yi at the International Martial Arts Exchange Conference, it can be said that he shocked the world, and the kung fu fever set off by him is undoubtedly the most beneficial for those of them who opened martial arts gyms overseas.

After all, there are more people who want to learn Chinese kung fu, but not everyone has the conditions to run to Huaxia.

In "Kung Fu", the four most used Chinese boxing techniques, Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi, and Baji. These four boxing techniques will naturally be performed at the premiere. And these people who perform are naturally disciples of overseas Chinese martial arts halls.

Moreover, these martial arts disciples are not all Chinese, and there are many Western faces.

Wen Yi just wants to take the opportunity to tell everyone that you Westerners can also learn Chinese kung fu!

The premiere began, hosted by a famous host from a television station invited by Lionsgate. Whether it is the hosting ability or the hosting style, it has its uniqueness, and it can be said to be easy on the stage.

The premiere began, and the first thing that was shown was undoubtedly the final trailer for the film. It's a lot longer than the first version. There is also a lot of non-content.

But no matter which trailer it is, it just arouses the desire of fans to watch.

After the trailer was played, the supporters continued the topic and invited Wen Yi and other main actors to the stage.

The premiere, whether it is the United States or China, seems to have the same process. However, the content shown is different.

And at this premiere, Wen Yi directly omitted the stories that happened during filming. If it's about Jason, maybe the audience is still interested in listening to it. I'm afraid it's not attractive to wait for someone else.

What's more, Wen Yi used this premiere not only to promote his own movies, but also to promote Chinese kung fu. (To be continued......)
