Chapter 786 [Guo Dasen, Premiere]
On July 5, Guo Xu flew to China to participate in Nike's "China Tour" event and interacted with fans.
As Guo Xu's fame and status become higher and higher, the organizer of his China trip will arrange different celebrities to accompany him every time he travels to avoid being cold, this time it is the female star Zhang Ziyi who will accompany her, and she is as excited as a little girl chasing stars when she sees Guo Xu.
As long as you like the NBA, most of them are Guo Xu's fans, even if you don't watch the NBA and only know one basketball star, you generally know him.
After checking into the hotel in the evening, Guo Xu updated his QQ space online.
In 2005, Tencent launched QQ Zone, and when the reporter went to the United States to interview Guo Xu, he was given a QQ number, inviting him to open QQ Space, and occasionally send something to interact with fans, Guo Xu agreed.
Usually, someone on the Chinese side helps take care of Guo Xu's space and posts some of his latest news, which has a very high degree of attention. Occasionally, he himself would come up and post some thoughts, a few simple words and pictures.
This time he posted a photo with a sentence - "To my favorite cousin, action star Jason Statham, whose performance in "Inception" is the most anticipated!" β
This log was quickly swiped by fans, all of which were similar words. "Isn't this Guo Da?" "This is Guo Da!"
Relying on a photo and a sentence, Statham became popular in China before he even participated in the event. The stalk of "Guo Dasen" appeared in advance, and his hairstyle is indeed the same as that of the real Guo Da.
After three days of Nike's activities were completed, Guo Xu met with Statham, Daddario, and Jet Li in Beijing for an exclusive interview.
Guo Xu and Jet Li are the protagonists, and those two are foils, because they are interviewing in Chinese, they have to act as translators.
After a few pleasantries, the hostess began to ask about the topic of the movie: "Who is the best one in this movie?" β
"Him." Jet Li pointed to Statham beside him.
"Isn't that you?" The host was very surprised, because Jet Li participated, everyone thought that he would show Chinese kung fu.
"You know how good he is when the movie comes out." Jet Li said with a smile.
The host asked Guo Xu: "I said a sensitive topic, please don't be angry, many fans are curious about one thing, you asked Megan to star in "Transformers", and then play a couple with Miss D'Addario in the movie, will Megan be jealous?" β
Guo Xu immediately replied: "Megan can understand that actors have to choose roles that suit them, and she will definitely regret missing "Transformers". Actually, in the new drama that I have been filming recently, Daddario and I are a couple again, and we are husband and wife, and Megan is the heroine of this movie. β
The audience was surprised, and Guo Xu explained: "If I play against Megan, some habits will be unconsciously revealed and affect the filming of the movie, so I will find other partners." β
The audience applauded one after another, but in fact, he showed his acting skills in reality and performed in the movie.
The host asked Daddario: "What is the relationship between the crew of Inception?" β
Guo Xu translated, and Daddario said: "Everyone is very friendly, and I was very nervous when I went, because I joined the filming of the blockbuster as a newcomer, and I saw a lot of stars at once." Later I found out that everyone was like family, they were willing to help me and encourage me to perform boldly. β
That's because they know you don't have a good relationship with your boss. Statham complained in his heart.
The host asked, "How much do you rate your performance?" β
"90 points, I was just barely passing the level, and when I played against Jason, he took him to 90 points, he is a genius." Daddario smiled and added, "That's what he asked me to answer." β
There was a burst of laughter from the audience. The host asked Guo Xu: "I heard that there is a love line in the movie, do you have a kiss scene?" β
"I don't want to spoil this, I'll know then."
When the host interviewed Statham, he asked a question that fans were concerned about. "I'm going to show you a picture of a very famous comedian in China, I don't know if you've heard of him."
She then handed Statham a picture of Gorda. Statham smiled and said, "This is my twin brother!" β
After spending a few days in China, we went back to Los Angeles together.
"Transformers" won the North American box office for two consecutive weeks after its release. On July 16, "Inception" was also released simultaneously in many countries around the world, and Guo Xu and Megan attended the Los Angeles premiere together.
Before the movie was released, some critics "maliciously" slandered the bad reviews, saying that an action movie must be a mess if it is dressed as science fiction. sprayed without even looking at it, from this point you can see how braindead the American film critics and trolls are.
Two more famous film critics arrived in Los Angeles, before they had just finished spraying Megan's "Transformers" without depth, and now they are ready to find trouble with Guo Xu. They expect the film to hit the street in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, and they don't want to see two actors who don't look like actors dominating the summer file.
Before the movie started, two acquaintances, one fat and one thin, and the film critics chatted in a weird way.
The fat man said: "The script was written by Jason Guo, and he starred in it and made the soundtrack for the movie, God knows what the hell will be filmed." I think the only thing to see is probably the special effects, because he burned a lot of money. β
The thin man said: "Jason Statham plus Jet Li, and Chinese directors, I think it will be another "Cosmic Pursuit". β
To put it bluntly, an important reason why they are not optimistic about this movie is that there are too many Chinese, and kung fu movies have become unpopular in recent years. Jet Li didn't even have a movie with a box office of more than 100 million, and relied on the disc market to make money.
Director Wen Ziren has never directed big-budget films, and the only one among the actors who has box office appeal is Keanu Reeves, and everyone else is not good.
Guo Xu is a ticket player, D'Addario and Amber are unknown newcomers, and Patrick Wilson is a fruit hard candy (what? Statham is bald. οΌwhatοΌ What sparks can such a group of people get together?
The theme of this movie is still original, not adapted from comics, what good sci-fi script can Guo Xu create?
The fans are very face-saving, and there are a lot of people who come, most of them are Guo Xu's fans.
There are also many movie stars who come to cheer, all of whom are friends in the circle, and young Chinese actress Liu Yifei also came to increase exposure, and then she will co-produce "The King of Kung Fu" with Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
After the interview was taken, the film started on time, and soon the two critics in the theater were a little disappointed, and the fans were excited.
The story uses flashbacks, and at the beginning Keanu wakes up at the beach and sees the aging Guo Xu, and the dialogue between the two lays a huge foreshadowing for the movie.
Next, the two brothers went to steal Jet Li's dream and fought wits in the villa, Mel, the female No. 2 played by Eva Green, came out to make trouble, and Jet Li and the two brothers had a fight.
The first fight scene was very exciting, fist-to-flesh, similar to the bathroom battle in "Mission Impossible 6". It's okay if the protagonist is weak, and the setting of the two of them is to rely on their brains, otherwise they don't have to go to Statham to join the gang later.
Keanu shot Guo Xu first, making him wake up from his dream, and he got the document and found that it was creached. The ornate villa set gradually crumbles and the building is destroyed...... As the sleeping Keanu is wheeled into the bathtub, the dream floods and floods the dream.
Keanu, Guo Xu, and Jet Li's tycoon all woke up from their dreams, and the three faced off again in the apartment.
The audience let out bursts of amazement, and it felt so cool to visualize the dream on the screen!
