Chapter 772 - Tourist Vacation (2)

It has long been known that a group of Hollywood stars will be on a promotional tour in Asia, and Seoul, South Korea, as the first stop, is even more vigilant.

The crowd that greeted them at the airport was three floors inside and three floors outside, and almost everyone had a sign written in English and Korean. It is rare for so many Hollywood stars to arrive this time, which is definitely a big shock to the Korean entertainment industry.

"Twilight 2 Crescent" was a hit at the box office, with more box office on the first day than the Hollywood movie "Ninja Assassin" starring Rain in a week. Although I don't want to admit it, facts speak louder than words, even if the Koreans are already very supportive of Rain, and the number of pre-sales of [Ninja Assassin] on the first day reached 100,000, but it can't hide the lack of follow-up. How to say that a bloody action movie with nineteen bans cannot be suitable for all ages.

Some polite media commented after the release of "Ninja Assassin": The film is Rain's second work to enter Hollywood, and the previous [Speed Racer] suffered a box office overturn, but this time Warner still uses the original cast, and uses Rain as the first actor. It can be seen in the film that Rain's acting skills have improved a lot, but his line ability has been exposed. In addition, apart from the gore and violence, this [Ninja Assassin] has a fight every few minutes, which really fails to leave anything in the minds of the audience.

The unceremonious critic pointed out that the production methods of the screenwriter and director, as well as Rain's acting skills, are the best on Rotten Tomatoes, "telling a fragmented story in a pretentious tone, failing to create the slightest charm of a ninja, and bluffing the title of a fourth-rate video release level action movie."

"The vain and exaggerated martial arts scenes that do not feel anger and pain are one after another, and the meaningless dark pictures are repelled from thousands of miles away, and the temptation to yawn wildly."

"No creativity, no theme, stupid plot, stiff plot, the only thing that left an impression was the flying knife light and Rain's perfect body. It's not so much a ninja as a fitness expert, and he uses amateur acting skills in a personality vacuum. ”

If there is no comparison, I am afraid that film critics will be merciful. But the success of "Twilight 2 Crescent", which exceeded $230 million at the global box office in a week, shattered the pride of those who held Rain to enter Hollywood in South Korea and as a star in the world. Since there is a better one, why should you pursue a bad one?

Zixi is also very helpless about these comments, which are not something he can control. Even if he wants to give Rain a few shouts and support his friends. But in the face of the facts, Zixi can't force others to buy tickets to enter the theater, right? Since [Ninja Assassin] was littered with Rotten Tomatoes in the United States, even in Asia, which is considered Rain's home field, it has also been quite cold and criticized, and it seems that Warner Pictures' Asian marketing has completely failed this time.

The success of [Twilight 2 Crescent] naturally made Zixi rise again, especially when he led the entire main cast team of [Twilight 2 Crescent] to South Korea to attend the premiere in Seoul, which made countless Zixi's fans inexplicably excited, and even made those [Twilight] fans ecstatic.

With the stimulation of this incident, Zixi's revelations on "Strong Heart" have gradually been forgotten. Whether it is fans or the public, or the media or artists, they all have their eyes on the upcoming star-studded Hollywood superstars.

From the time of learning the exact time of the flight taken by Zixi and his entourage, Incheon Airport has made preparations, the interview area and welcome area have been clearly divided, and VIP channels have been prepared to allow these Hollywood superstars to leave smoothly at any time.

In the welcome area, most of the people who came to greet them were fashionable young people in their twenties, and they were the main supporters of [Twilight]. Watching a Hollywood actor perform on a movie and seeing a real person on the spot are two different concepts, and this is a very rare opportunity, who knows when you will have such an opportunity again?

Of course, the media is also working hard, "Zixi is another successful Hollywood film", this gimmick and buying point are already very good. Now led by Zixi, a group of Hollywood stars have come to Seoul, South Korea, isn't this a grand event in the Korean film and television industry? It is reported that at the premiere of [Twilight 2 Crescent] in Seoul, many famous Korean artists and stars expressed their hope to participate. In addition to being a good opportunity to become famous, it is also a rare opportunity to meet and contact Hollywood stars.

The plane landed slowly, and Zixi and his party slowly stepped out of the cabin after the other passengers left the plane first. Floor-to-ceiling glass can't stop the sound of high decibels, and a heavy wall of people can't stop the anticipation of welcoming fans, even in the cold weather of December, the enthusiasm of fans is almost unstoppable.

"Zixi... Edward... Zixi... Edward...", "Christine... Elizabeth... Christine... Elizabeth...", "Alice... Alice...", "Jacob... Jacob...", the group had just walked out, and they were greeted by deafening screams. Including Zi-hee and Kristen Stewart, fans shouted out the names of their characters in the film.

The "click, click, click" flash kept flashing, and every Hollywood star who came out had more than a dozen, if not dozens, cameras of different sizes aimed at them. The on-site news interview teams dispatched by the three major television stations immediately began to broadcast live, so that the audience waiting in front of the TV could get a glimpse of the Hollywood superstars for the first time.

All handsome men and beauties, sunglasses and coats, full of superstar style. They have seen this kind of welcome scene a lot, even if the enthusiasm of Korean fans is more crazy than in the United States, it is only a little surprising to Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greeney and others who came to Korea for the first time. Afterwards, they kept a smile on their faces and waved to the fans who came to greet them as they walked, which made the fans cheer even more wildly, as if their idols were smiling at them.

A specially spaced temporary passage became the only way for everyone to get out of the airport, and the management of Incheon Airport was relieved to see that the fans present were enthusiastic but behaved in good order. This "Twilight 2 Crescent" actor's tour in Asia is not only a stop in South Korea, but also Japan, Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Thailand have sent interview teams to follow up and report, and now there are many foreign media reporters at the airport, if Korean fans cause chaos, it will definitely be a joke.

"Didn't you say Korean fans are crazy?" Ashley continued to wave and smile at the fans running with the luxury bus outside through the window, but said in her mouth: "You see how cute these fans are, they are very orderly, and very polite, where are you so unbearable?" ”

"When did I say that fans are unruly and rude? We know each other well, and I can sue you for slander. Zixi replied with a roll of her eyes.

"What didn't you say, when you got on the plane, you said that you were blocked by fans at the airport several times, and then almost stripped you naked, isn't that what you said?" Ashley asked, taking out the evidence.

Zixi said angrily: "I'm talking about the past, and it's only the actions of a small number of crazy fans, although most of the fans are enthusiastic, they are still very polite." ”

"Cut, all the same, men are unreliable." Ashley said dismissively.

"What about Jackson? Isn't he a man? Zixi said and deliberately glanced at Jackson Rathbon, who was still adjusting to the cold weather in South Korea, and that meaningful gaze was uncomfortable to look at.

Jackson Rathbone didn't expect to be shot while lying down, and said, "I didn't offend you, so don't you get involved with me, okay?" ”

"Hey, hey! It was Ashley who knocked down a boatload of people with a bamboo pole. ”

"Don't talk about that, where are we going now?" Kristen Stewart organized Ashley's nonsense, smiled and said to Zixi: "Now that you are the host and we are guests, I think you should arrange our accommodation, right?" ”

"Hmmm! I've booked a luxury suite at The Peninsula Hotel, and I'll be at my barbecue restaurant tonight, and I'll arrange for someone to take you around Korea tomorrow. ”

"Not bad." Ashley patted Zixi's head in approval as if the leader was satisfied with the work of his subordinates, and said, "We are still satisfied with your arrangement." It seems that this time we are really here to eat, The Peninsula Hotel! Whether it is Asia's top six-star hotel on par with the Imperial Hotel Brunei, or is it owned by Zachary's family, we can enjoy it to the fullest. ”

Zixi smiled bitterly, Ashley is the kind of girl who is overly lively and active, and she is a little similar to Yun'er in personality, but she is more bold and bold than Yun'er. Since cooperating with Jackson Lathbone in the filming of "Twilight", the two have maintained an ambiguous relationship, but they don't mind the media tracking their scandals at all, and even go out with Jackson Rathbone in a big way many times, so that the media can find enough news to capitalize and close-up.

Christine asked Zixi, "What about you?" Aren't you with us? ”

"Me?" Zixi smiled bitterly and said, "I still have important things to deal with in South Korea, you guys will play in Korea for a few days, and I will meet you on the day of the premiere." ”

"What is so important? This time, our main purpose is to travel and vacation, if we don't have you as a full-time tour guide, what will we do? Ashley pouted.

"Do you think that without me, no one will pay for your purchases?" Zixi saw Ashley's "bad intentions" at a glance. In her words, there is a big eat, Zixi is a rich son like Zixi, who doesn't eat him?

"Hey, hey!" Ashley didn't look embarrassed at all, and took out the Korean travel guide again, and discussed with Christine where to go and sweep the goods.

Back in South Korea, Zi-hee is about to start worrying about how to deal with the little ones of Girls' Generation, and fans, media and people can be diverted from the arrival of Hollywood superstars. In the coming days, it will definitely attract enough attention because of these celebrities in the world traveling around South Korea. But there is a group of people who will never be fooled by such a small action of Zixi, they are --- Girls' Generation.

Yu Li's revelations in "Strong Heart" have made the little ones breathless, Zixi didn't apologize to them for the first time, hid in Europe, and even went to the United States later, so that their anger was on the verge of a critical point. The reason why Zixi knows so clearly is because the little guy has an internal response.

Yuli, the "accomplice", has been heavily monitored, and her every move, even mobile phone text messages and call records have to be reviewed. The girls didn't know that there was a "traitor" like Yun'er by their side, and even Xiaoxian would secretly report to Zixi about the "conspiracy" of the Ernnies to deal with OPPA, so that Zixi was prepared and not caught off guard, no wonder Zixi would spoil her very much.
