Chapter 539: The Premiere

At six o'clock in the evening, all the senior executives of the Gold Medal Group and all the employees of the Golden Medal Cinema Imperial Capital Cinema Line guarded the theater, and Li Lin held a bottle of Nescafe, but did not drink it.

His eyes watched film critics, senior fans, and reporters enter the venue, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, the last time "World of Warcraft" was released, he asked the employees of the group to personally send invitations to these people, but this time, he didn't give it.

Instead, these reporters, critics, and veteran fans called to ask for tickets to the premiere, and the appeal of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" was evident.

"There were a lot of people coming." Qi Xiangdong shook the Coke in his hand meaninglessly, looked at the crowd below, and muttered, "Tonight, it should be very lively." ”

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and the figure of a familiar person fell into his sight, "The big and small king of Huayi is here, and there is a small steel cannon." ”

Li Lin followed his gaze when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw the big and small kings and small steel cannons who were checking the tickets, and the corners of his mouth immediately curved into a smile.

People in the circle, in addition to praising their own people, other directors and CEOs of film and television companies will not show up at the film premieres of other companies, because it is easy for reporters and media to interpret themselves as being conquered by other companies' films.

Even if you want to watch it, it will be disguised, and it will not appear at the premiere where there are many reporters.

This has almost become the norm in the industry.

This time, Huayi's big and small king came over with Xiaogang Cannon, which can be said to have greatly increased the face of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War".

As if sensing that someone was looking at him, the king instinctively turned his head to look. At a glance, he met Li Lin, who was standing on the second floor, and immediately shrank his head slightly, and then smiled bitterly. "It's already here, what are you pretending to do?"

He thought about disguise, but eventually gave up.

Without him, what is the difference between disguise at the premiere of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", which has many reporters, and stealing the bell with his ears covered? And once the disguise is revealed, it really confirms the illusion that he has been conquered by Diablo 1: Original Sin War, just like that. It's better to come over generously, at least there is an explanation when the reporter asks.

"They seem to see us." After the little steel cannon handed over the ticket, he happened to see the scene where the king turned his head. "Seriously, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the fact that this movie was Diablo 1: Original Sin War."

Why not come?

The reason is very simple, Zhang Yimou is here.

Since the small steel cannon opened the New Year stalls. His fame soared. used to be side by side with Zhang Yimou for a while, but with Zhang Yimou's transformation into a commercial film, a "Hero" bloodied the box office record, even if his "No Thieves in the World", he still failed to save his title of the king of commercial films.

In the hearts of the media, he is no longer comparable to Zhang Yimou.

Although he and Zhang Yimou don't have any big grudges, they are compared by the media every day. He's heartbroken, so if it's not necessary. He will not meet with Zhang Yimou.

And at the premiere of "Diablo 1: War of Original Sin", Zhang Yimou will definitely come to town, there is no doubt about it.

So he didn't want to come.

But he couldn't resist the temptation.

"Diablo 1: The War of Original Sin" represents the use of Hollywood's special effects industry, is the integrator of Hollywood's special effects technology, and belongs to the most cutting-edge kind, watch here, you can observe the gap between China and Hollywood, of course, you can also understand Hollywood's special effects technology as much as possible, so as not to be pitted by the Hollywood special effects team.

In China, there are not only one or two people who have been cheated by Hollywood's special effects groups.

Except for the gold medal group, which itself has cooperated with Hollywood film companies, that is, when Miramax invested in "Hero", he was cheated when he personally helped Zhang Yimou find a Hollywood special effects team, and almost all other film companies have been cheated.

They either use some outdated technology to fool the film company or blow their own technology to the sky, and when the order is obtained, they immediately subcontract it to the special effects team in Huaxia or South Korea, as for doing it themselves, sorry, when did I ever do it myself? What, you say there is a contract? When does the contract stipulate that our company's people must do it, in fact, the special effects team in South Korea and Huaxia is also our company's special effects team.

It can be said that domestic films have been scared by Hollywood's special effects team.

After paying the tuition, they have learned to be cautious about the Hollywood special effects team, and now even the movies that claim to work with the special effects team are actually working with the outsourcing team of the special effects team, and although the technology is ordinary but the cost is less, they treat it more as a boo.

It's like claiming that they have invited many stars to act, but when it was released, fans of these stars were surprised to find that their favorite stars were just playing tricks or showing their faces in it, which belonged to the kind of friendly cameos.

"It's coming, it's coming, just go in!" The king laughed, "I'll also take a look, what hole cards does the gold medal group have, and it dares to bleed in the industry to wash the summer vacation and Spring Festival files." ”

In the film and television industry, the summer vacation and winter vacation files are the highest, and countless movies are fighting in them, whether it is a big film company or a small film company, they are all counting on eating and drinking in the two golden periods of summer vacation and winter vacation, and the gold medal group openly threatens to wash the entire summer vacation and winter vacation files.

Not only small film companies can't sit still, but even big film companies like them Huayi can't sit still.

So they came over to find out the information.

"They're just amplifying words." Xiao Wang sneered, "Even if it is a Hollywood blockbuster, there has never been a bloodbath in the entire schedule, as for Zhang Yimou, he was qualified to say this when he was "Hero", but is he still qualified now?" ”

""Full of Golden Armor" took the initiative to postpone its release, avoiding "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", their sharpness has been lost, and there is no threat at all."

No one will have a good impression of the two schedules of the gold medal group's bloodbath, they wish that the gold medal group would be wiped out, so they can wait to see the jokes of the gold medal group.

"If the spirit has been lost, why haven't they and we announced the schedule of the blockbuster film in their hands?"

The king said lightly, and said that Xiao Wang lost his temper in one sentence.

Why?

Do you still need an explanation? Of course, I want to see how far Diablo 1: Original Sin War and Golden Armor can go.

If it is so strong that it is unmatched, it will naturally postpone the release, or even withdraw from the competition for summer vacation files; If the table is not as imagined, then rush to the top and eat it.

Huayi naturally held this idea, so he didn't explain the schedule, and there was room for maneuver without explaining the schedule, which is why they appeared here.

Whether it is advance or retreat, it is all up to this movie.

Everyone waited for the result, they just came early, in advance as a waiting for the trial, and the judge was the audience, and when the audience applauded, they announced their postponement.

At 7 o'clock, the crowd was surging, and the Imperial Capital Theater was already full.

"There are so many people."

"Everyone is running for classics like World of Warcraft."

"What a sin."

The voices of complaints were endless, but no one paid attention.

All the people who came here were thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, who would go back because of someone else's words? It's either funny or stupid to go back.

Even if it's someone who makes a sound, will they go back? No, because they don't want to be funny, and they don't want to be stupid.

"Not bad."

Zhang Yimou looked down at the entire theater and walked down slowly, "Although I have seen this scene many times, I am still shocked, not for this scene, but for the expectations of Chinese fans for "Diablo 1: Original Sin War". ”

This kind of scenario, he can easily do.

This is due to the capital he has generated over the years based on the Chinese market, and his films have given fans confidence, and they are willing to cheer.

And Diablo 1; What about Original Sin War? Alfonso. Caron, a well-known director in Europe and the United States, can be placed in China, who knows?

A "Harry Potter", everyone cares about Time Warner and J.K. Rowling.

As for the director, who is that? Who cares?

And investors and companies, apart from a dream factory that created a brand image, who else created a brand image? Time Warner, Universal Pictures, Sony MGM, Sony Columbia, 20th Century Fox? No, none of them, even if it is DreamWorks, there is no DreamWorks production, it must be the impression of a high-quality product.

As for the rest, Lionsgate focuses on small-budget horror films, Miramax focuses on picking good movies from around the globe to bring back to Hollywood, and the magic of the new line is good, and that's it.

Compared to the director, the company's brand is too difficult to shape.

It takes years to create an image, and to destroy him, it only takes one movie, but the question is, can the company control bad movies? Of course not, if they could, then the Hollywood giants would not lose so much money every year, and there is even a saying that 30% of good films feed 70% of bad movies, and once the line is crossed, the film and television company can go out of business.

This statement, while extreme, also illustrates the current state of Hollywood.

Relatively speaking, it is much easier for the director to create an image, only a few movies are needed to create a given image, and fans have a much higher tolerance for the director than the company, even after a few bad movies, fans are still looking forward to new works.

So in such a situation, Diablo 1: Original Sin War has achieved such a result without inviting anyone, which is simply breathtaking. (To be continued......)
