At the end of March, the temperature in the capital is about 12 degrees, and this northern city has just come out of the cold winter, the sun rises very late in late winter and early spring, and the morning is slightly cold.

It's only 6 o'clock in the morning, and the square in front of the Longteng Computer World at No. 2 Zhongguancun is already full of people, most of them are young people, some of them should be white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes, some are ordinary workers in overalls, and some even hold the English Oxford dictionary to memorize words, needless to say, these people must be college students.

These are not the same kind of people, usually rare to get together, but today they are all gathered at the gate of the Longteng computer world, everyone is holding the same item, like a token, a magazine with camouflage soldiers printed on the cover.

This is the March 1996 edition of Sega's Power, with a family portrait of the Death Squad on the cover, using a live-action photograph of the fighters with camouflage on their faces but clearly recognizable eyebrows.

Beret Stallone, weapons expert Swarzenegger occupies almost half of the cover on the left and right, and between the two of them is the petite and seductive intelligence liaison Julia Roberts, and around the three of them are four soldiers with cold expressions, the spy Jean Renault, the engineer Cheng Long, the sailor Jason Statham, the thief Lee Link, and the sniper John Travor.

Muscular man, cold man, evergreen in the film industry, box office guarantee, screen tough guy, handsome little student, the most beautiful female movie star in the 90s, big names gathered, adapted from Dragon Games, 20th Century Fox is dedicated to creating, and the boutique is guaranteed......

With countless honors, the second game and movie in the "The Expendables" series have been wildly sought after by fans and game fans around the world without suspense before they have even been released and released.

Half of the credit goes to these movie stars. Except for the fledgling Lee Lian and Jason Statham, the others are all big names in Hollywood. Fans are all over the world.

The remaining half is Longteng's high-quality assurance, and there is a vague saying in the industry. "Produced by Longteng, it must be a high-quality product", there are 64 games on the Sega platform that are classified as above the Silver Palace, and there are nearly 30 games launched by Longteng itself, none of which fail, most of them are still platinum palace level, this sentence is well deserved.

"The March issue of "The Power of Sega", 20 yuan a copy! Hey, is there anyone who wants to buy it? The unique barcode on the back cover and the customer information sheet are intact......"

A small vendor with a thief's eyebrows approached. Finding that there were no security guards and no Longteng staff at the scene, they shouted openly and began to sell the magazines in their hands.

Many people are not ashamed, usually Sega game fans can use their ID cards and Sega membership cards to get a free magazine at the designated business location, but I didn't expect these people to play crooked brains and want to sell it for 20 yuan!

"Uncle, do you want a copy? Yo, you don't know what you're doing? With the barcode and membership information on the magazine, register at the Dragon Games franchise store. Get a ticket to the Expendables 2 Star Meeting and Premiere! Stallone, Schwarzenegger, don't you want to meet these international brands? Big Mouth Julia Roberts, you don't like it either? You...... You sing Peking Opera...... Well, when I didn't say ......"

"Hey buddy. Buy a magazine and try your luck? Look at what you said, no one can guarantee that you will win. I can guarantee what other magazines I sell? Take the tickets and sell them to you. 500 yuan is not a counteroffer, and some people are rushing to ask for it! ”

"Beauty, hey beauty. ouch I cǎo...... Little brother, your pigtails are a little too artistic, do you want a copy of the magazine? 20 bucks is really not expensive! Art is priceless, if you can exchange it for close contact and communication with world-class stars, 20 yuan is nothing! Hey, you take your ID card, hand over the completed form to the Longteng staff, register and go home and wait for news......"

These scalpers are very undisciplined, a book sells for 20 yuan, which is no different from robbing money, which quickly aroused everyone's public indignation, and some college students with a sense of justice have long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye, peddling, and plugging, one to affect the fairness of the order on the spot, and the other is also to affect their own winning rate.

A few slightly famous students from different schools gathered to make do with it, and on the one hand, they organized a group of students to criticize the scalpers head-on, and on the other hand, they quickly notified the security guards of Longteng Computer World to come out to maintain order and try to drive away the scalpers.

In the noisy and noisy, the time went to more than 8 o'clock, and there were already Longteng security guards in front of the door of the Longteng Computer World to maintain order, and there were hundreds of customers who planned to register for the lottery tickets, all of whom lined up in line according to the order, and extended to the front of the Longteng headquarters building at No. 1 Zhongguancun, and all the citizens who watched the excitement and passed by were all patiently persuaded to leave the scene.

A few business travelers who played goods stopped curiously and pointed, many people came from other places to Zhongguancun wholesale computer spare parts, there are few flagship stores in small cities, and the vast majority of people have never seen such a big formation.

The white-collar workers and merchants in the nearby Lenovo Computer City and the office building of CITIC Plaza also chattered when they passed by, expressing their envy and jealousy of the Longteng computer world by the way.

This scene made the Longteng employees working in the Longteng headquarters building next door feel a little exaggerated, Yang Yun came to check the venue today, and was also shocked by this scene.

"Good fellows! That's estimated to be thousands, right? Yang Yun smacked his tongue, looked at Zhao Yongping beside him, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This is the propaganda method you think?" What if there is a stampede with so many people? What if there is a quarrel and crowding in the franchise store? Isn't it just a celebrity meeting, isn't it over with a direct lottery? We've done something similar in Japan. ”

Zhao Yongping laughed: "Japan is Japan, and China is China." Chinese like to watch the excitement, and the more people there are, the more they squeeze inside. Internationally renowned superstars who come to China to do publicity must take this opportunity to show the enthusiasm of the people, vigorously publicize China's excellent investment environment, and welcome world-renowned film companies to come to China to seek cooperation opportunities. ”

"I'm ......dizzy," Yang Yun couldn't cry or laugh, and thought for a long time before sighing and saying: "After revitalizing the animation and game industry, the next step is to revitalize the film and entertainment industry?" Do they really think that the industry is so easy to do, the domestic ideology alone cannot be completely solved, China's cultural opening up and the world have a long way to go, even our game and animation industry is struggling, careful not to cross the red line, not to mention the more open film and entertainment industry! Hey, some leaders are too naïve in their thinking! ”

Zhao Yongping smiled: "You can only say this in front of our own people, those people really broadcast the publicity of "The Expendables 2" as a big event." There are more than a dozen program invitations sent by the central station and local satellite TV stations, and as long as you are willing to participate in the program, the time and place of recording are with us! ”

Yang Yun laughed out loud and scolded with a smile: "These sycophants! ”

The Chinese premiere of "The Expendables 2" is planned to be broadcast in the open air in the square at the entrance of Longteng Computer World, which is in line with China's current level of material civilization and habits.

After 1993, China began to gradually open up the introduction of overseas films, cinemas are even less pitiful, open-air movies are common, many cinemas are rebuilt by the people's commune auditorium, a blockbuster movie theater price is less than 10 yuan, this drizzle income, Long Teng did not pay attention to it at all, simply took it out and played it in the open air, and interacted with the audience in the square by the way after the broadcast.

If you put up temporary seats in the square, you can only sit in 500 seats at most, but those who stand on the periphery of the square and watch from a distance can't care, the movie screen is hung high, you can also watch it from the sidewalks and motorways outside the square, and even the straight ginkgo trees in the roadside green belt have some people who have crooked brains and plan to climb the trees to see it when the time comes.

The traffic management department has coordinated, and the half of the street in Zhongguancun will be closed at 6 p.m. and will last until 10 p.m., in the words of one leader: "We can't compare to the United States and have money, but the number of people we like movies is definitely several times that of the United States, and the whole street is full of movie fans, this is our sincerity!" ”

"Nonsense! I don't care about you......" Yang Yun walked into the building from the entrance and exit of the staff, and after listening to the arrangement of the person in charge, he scolded with a smile and said, he didn't care about it himself!

Zhao Yongping sighed, followed Yang Yun's steps, and said helplessly: "We can't afford to mess with those officials!" But that's fine, Stallone Schwarzenegger must have never seen this kind of scene, right? China will definitely leave an impression on them that will last a lifetime! ”

The two laughed, those movie stars are used to eating big fish and meat, maybe they come across these very characteristic light side dishes, which are more in line with their appetite!

On March 27, the capital airport ushered in three special passengers, Stallone Schwarzenegger and other Hollywood movie stars took American Airlines Boeing 777, Cheng Long and Jet Li flew from Hong Kong on Air China, in addition, Paris also flew an Airbus A340, in addition to Renault, there is also a special passenger - Wu Wei who rushed back from Longteng Paris branch.

Zhao Yongping, Fang Huimin and others personally picked up the airport, arranged for the stars to be interviewed by reporters at the airport, and then sent them to the hotel to rest, 8 well-known international movie stars plus entourage, dozens of people, so that the Longteng public relations department was busy for a long time, and no small details dared to slack off.

After Wu Weitong Guò Airport Customs, no one knew who he was, he wore sunglasses, his face was expressionless, carrying a simple suitcase, he came to the airport parking lot silently, his eyes swept away, and he quickly got on the number, looked around with the action of lighting a cigarette, found that there was nothing abnormal around, and then walked straight to an inconspicuous black business car.

"I've been running all the way, I've worked hard for you!" A hand was stretched out in the car, and he shook hands with Wu Wei with a smile.

Wu Wei was a little surprised, his face twitched slightly, this was the limit of his laughter: "Mr. Yang, how can you pick up the plane in person?" (To be continued......)
