"I'm sorry, McMohan, we're very interested in StarCraft, but we don't dare try StarCraft." Li Lin joked: "Who told you to write the background of StarCraft is too grandiose. ”

"If you want to shoot, you need at least $300 million."

"And the stakes are just too high."

Li Lin shrugged.

The background is grand, and sometimes it is also a mistake, at least the film company will directly ignore the past when adapting, and as for modifying the background, generally speaking, fans don't buy it.

"Lee said it well."

Finkelstein also said, "Our evaluation department at Universal Cinema also believes that StarCraft is not suitable for adaptation, at least for now. ”

"When the price of special effect cabbage is up, maybe you can try it."

Special effects are developing, and the price of obsolete technology will always drop very low.

"It's a pity." McMohan shook his head, he finally understood why the studios were interested in their Blizzard's Diablo but not StarCraft.

"Could it be that he saw this in the first place, so he only took the rights to World of Warcraft and Diablo?"

McMohan gave Li Lin a deep look.

"Alright, let's talk about pleasant things!" Li Lin said with a smile|: "On September 1st, the first big-screen theater of the Imperial Capital Gold Medal Cinema Line is waiting for the two of you to come." ”

"Definitely."

"I hope to be able to eat Chinese food."

September 1, 2005. The door of the Huaxia Imperial Capital Gold Medal Cinema has been crowded.

Li Lin, Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Cui Weisi. Fermier, Toby. Kebel, Ben. Foster and other actors from "World of Warcraft" attended the scene, as well as Qi Xiangdong, president of Gold Group, Finkelstein, president of Universal Pictures, and McMohan, president of Blizzard.

The long red carpet is lined with beige barriers, and the tense defense of the venue's security personnel threatens to shock the fans at the scene. In addition to fans, there were also a large number of reporters present.

Kaka Ka ......

The sound of cameras clicking is incessant, and reporters squander their film as if they don't want money.

"The celebration banquet of "World of Warcraft" was actually held in China." A reporter excitedly held his camera to capture this rare picture, "There are so many fans present. ”

A group of people in the dark, all kinds of fans wearing "World of Warcraft" clothes, holding "World of Warcraft" light signs, dolls, balloons and other strange support props are standing around the reporter, directly surrounding the reporter.

On the number of people. There are quite a few reporters, at least a few hundred present, but the number of fans is too much. So much so that hundreds of reporters were thrown together among the fans, and they couldn't even see a flower.

"World of Warcraft is popular all over the world, and it is normal for so many fans to come, I heard that fan groups from many countries in Europe and the United States have organized groups to come to China to participate in this celebration."

Another reporter chuckled as he glanced at a group of fans who were clearly foreigners. Following Cheng Long, Jet Li and others. Several more international movie stars were born. ”

"In the whole of Asia, the number of international movie stars is the largest number of our Huaxia!"

Although the Japanese box office market is large, it has already fallen, and there are not enough works to support it, and it is even more difficult for their movie stars to go abroad.

As for South Korea, they are even worse than Japan.

Japan has at least one or two movie stars who are fighting in the world, while South Korea has none, and the only RAIN that hit the international market failed miserably at the box office. Then he returned to South Korea in a gloomy manner under the title of 'international superstar' in the Korean media.

And Huaxia, there are Cheng Long, Jet Li and other predecessors in front. Now there are Li Lin, Zhou Xun and other juniors, whose first blockbuster "World of Warcraft" exceeded one billion dollars in the world, and they can almost be regarded as having a firm foothold.

"That is, in the new generation, there are a few international movie stars, which is not bad, but these artists are all artists under the gold medal film and television production company, I guess other companies will not be able to sit still, and a poaching war is about to begin."

"Poaching? I'm afraid those movie stars are not so stupid, they are just standing firm, and if they want to become famous, they have to rely on the second part of "World of Warcraft". ”

"Well, that's not Travis. Femir? The last time I went to France to interview him, I was slipped away by his kid, and now I finally found him. ”

"I see Toby. Kebel too. ”

"That's Ben. Foster! ”

"This is the first time that a Hollywood movie star has come to China in a group!"

The reporters were gearing up, sharpening their knives to the pigs and sheep.

"Come on, Travis. Fermier. ”

The fans screamed instantly, and a large number of female fans rushed forward screaming.

"Please don't hit the barrier."

"Stop, don't go near the artist."

The security personnel immediately became anxious, and they vigorously blocked these fans, using their bodies to form a barrier, as if they were police officers fighting floods, using their own bodies to block the flood.

For the current security personnel, these fans are no different from the flood.

Once they can't stop and let the fans rush over, the whole venue will be in chaos, maybe in a hurry, and it will cause a huge accident.

For example, trampling accidents.

It's not like this hasn't happened before.

On the huge platform, there are posters of "World of Warcraft", and many theaters have paid heavily to invite painters to portray the portraits of World of Warcraft.

Gul'dan, Garona, Queen of Stormwind and many other characters in the movie are all there.

Absolutely hand-painted, the only one in the world.

In the center, on a table covered with a white cloth, special glasses are stacked one by one to form ten layers, each of which symbolizes 100 million.

And at the very top, a crystal statue about the size of a human face engraved with one billion is placed on it, symbolizing that the global box office of "World of Warcraft" has exceeded one billion.

Syllable......

The salute sounded, the audience was boiling, and today's host walked onto the stage with a smile on his face, "Welcome all guests, reporters, and fans to today's World of Warcraft global celebration banquet." ”

"Just a year ago, a movie based on the Warcraft game, World of Warcraft, was announced, and at the time, many people were not optimistic about it."

"I thought it had a huge investment and a small cast, and I thought it was going to fail."

"However, three months ago, World of Warcraft was officially released."

"This much-questioned work exploded with tremendous energy all at once."

"It broke the original disapproval of many people with a record-breaking result of breaking 100 million yuan in three days, and has since entered the era of box office and word-of-mouth."

"However, a month ago, in Peter. When Jackson shouted the slogan of breaking a billion, many people were not optimistic about it. ”

"Because at that time, World of Warcraft was basically at its peak, they said Peter. Jackson's words are a joke, "World of Warcraft" can't break a billion. ”

"At the time, we were desperate, but it was you, everyone who was here, the fans of World of Warcraft and the game, who supported us and supported the great movie of World of Warcraft from doubt to success."

"It's finally broken a billion."

"This honor belongs to you."

Bang Bang Bang ......

There was applause below.

This applause is not hypocritical.

The global box office of "World of Warcraft" definitely has their contribution, and those present have basically watched "World of Warcraft" more than twice.

It was also them, when "World of Warcraft" shouted that it broke a billion box office, they took out their own money to go to the theater to support "World of Warcraft".

It can be said that without them, World of Warcraft would not be in its glory today.

"Thank you very much for the support of fans around the world."

Peter. Jackson himself stood up and walked to the stage, he raised his hands and pressed down slightly, "It's a great honor that I can stand here today." ”

"Standing in front of fans around the world to knock out the crystal in front of me, although I think the crystal is very expensive, it's a pity to break it, but I went to the hall on purpose, and the broken crystal can also be sold for money, and then I have to explain to the organizer that I want to pack the crystal fragments back."

Ha ha......

There was a good-natured laugh from below.

"This foreigner is quite humorous."

"I usually see him very strict when he interviews on TV, but I didn't expect him to be so humorous?"

"Interview?" A reporter standing in front of him suddenly turned around, "You can actually interview him?" ”

Peter. Jackson, the father of the Lord of the Rings, is one of the world's most famous directors, and there are only a handful of journalists who have been able to interview him, and these are none other than the world's most famous newspapers and magazines.

"What magazine are you from?"

"Economic Weekly! What's wrong? The reporter replied subconsciously.

"Economic newspapers, no wonder."

The reporter in front of him suddenly came to his senses.

Economic newspapers have always been high-minded, but how can brokerage newspapers run to interview the big director Peter. Jackson?

"Okay, I'm going to break it, wait a minute, you must not rob me of my crystal shards."

Peter. Jackson picked up the miniature hammer and struck it at the crystal.

Bang!

The crystals shattered, billions of crystal fragments were scattered everywhere, all the salutes on the scene rang out, and the magnesium lights and screams suddenly rang out.

"Li Lin."

"Weekly News."

"Fan Binbin."

A tsunami-like cheer came out of the fans' mouths.

Li Lin held the wine glass and looked at the fans outside, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more beautiful, "That's how it feels." ”

"Enjoy the cheering of the audience."

"But it won't be the last."

"In the future, I will enter the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and hold a celebration banquet on it, and I will make fans all over the world look at me and be happy for me, not just in China."

"I swear." (To be continued......)
