Chapter 562: Celebration Banquet
On June 4, the domestic suspense film "Hypnosis Master" directed by Chen Zhengdao and starring Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei was officially released.
The film was released for a total of 37 days and ended with a perfect box office of 502 million.
Wanda Film and Television, the main controlling investor of the film, held a grand celebration banquet for the crew in the magic capital on the evening of the 5th.
Wanda wanted to rub Zhang Yimou, and even sent him an invitation, but people were smart and only let Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei go to the celebration banquet, and he himself did not come.
"Master of Hypnosis" has become a good story in the market in the first half of the year.
Wanda was not stingy with the celebration banquet of this small-budget movie, and spent a lot of money, including the media, red carpet, cocktail party, song and dance performances, and celebrity guests.
Wang Jianlin even came to the scene to celebrate the crew.
Who called "Master of Hypnosis" is Wanda's most successful project since entering the production field.
Before the celebration banquet, the online media was heckling.
"The box office of "Hypnosis Master" exceeded 500 million, did Zhang Yuanjun fulfill his promise and carry Liu Yifei on the red carpet?" This is the promise made by Zhang Yuanjun when the film premieres, and when the box office exceeds 500 million, he will carry Liu Yifei on the red carpet.
"The celebration party of "Hypnosis Master" is about to begin, let's wait and see if Zhang Yuanjun can fulfill his promise."
Few people doubt Wanda's donation commitment, after Lao Wang became the richest man, Wanda's money is cheaper than paper.
It's just a donation of 2 million, and Lao Wang shouldn't take it seriously.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet officially began, and the first person to walk on the red carpet was an unknown star, who should have been stuffed by the brokerage company to brush his face.
After all, it's just a red carpet for the celebration banquet, there is no need to do it like a film festival, there is no red carpet interview arranged today, the guests walked across the red carpet, signed their names on the signature wall, and let the media take a few photos.
20 minutes later, Tang Yan walked on the red carpet.
As soon as she stood on the red carpet, she immediately attracted onlookers to scream, and she was the most popular of all the red carpet guests before.
Tang Yan was also filming in the magic capital during this time, and the good sisters' movie was a big hit, and she should come to the platform to have a celebration banquet.
And she also wanted to see how Zhang Yuanjun carried Liu Yifei up.
After Tang Yan signed his name, he entered the venue.
The finale of the red carpet is naturally the protagonist tonight, the crew of "Master of Hypnosis".
But it is very strange that the audience only saw Chen Zhengdao, Wang Yaoqing, and Hu Jing walking on the red carpet, and did not see the male and female protagonists.
I'm still waiting to see Zhu Bajie carry his daughter-in-law.
However, after the three crew members of "Hypnosis Master" walked over, the host did not announce the end of the red carpet, but said: "Next, let's welcome the heroes and heroines of "Hypnosis Master", Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei. ”
The sound of a ringing bell ringing on the other end of the red carpet.
Everyone looked at it and burst into laughter!
Zhang Yuanjun rode an old-fashioned horizontal bar bicycle, and his wife sat behind him.
There is also a festive red flower tied on the bike.
Bell bell ~
Bell bell ~
Zhang Yuanjun rode his bicycle slowly on the red carpet.
The cameras of the media and the audience are focused on the living couple.
Zhang Yuanjun has no opinion on walking the red carpet behind his wife, but it is not very elegant.
It will be a lot more fun to go on a bicycle instead.
Liu Yifei wore a long lilac dress by Georges Hobeika today, sat on the back of an old-fashioned bicycle, and smiled from ear to ear — she likes to play like that, too.
Liu Yifei grabbed Zhang Yuanjun's clothes behind him: "Ah, you ride slower and steady." ”
The red carpet is not long, and it will come to an end after a few kicks, but Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei are not satisfied, turn their heads, and ride again.
Bell bell ~
Bell bell ~
After walking around the red carpet three times and letting the audience and the media take enough photos, the couple got out of the car, stood by the signature wall and signed and took photos, and then entered the venue.
Georges Hobeika will probably regret lending the dress to Liu Yifei to wear to the celebration ceremony, sitting on the back of the bicycle and walking the red carpet, the beauty of the dress is not displayed at all.
Entering the venue, the scene adopts the self-service reception mode, and the main stage is in front.
After a short time, the host invited Lao Wang up and asked him to speak.
In fact, on this occasion, Ye Ning, the direct person in charge of Wanda Film and Television, is the most suitable speaker candidate.
Lao Wang is good at loading cups, and the box office of "Hypnosis Master" of 500 million also gave him the capital to fill the cup tonight.
After congratulating the crew on such a good achievement, Lao Wang began to say: "In fact, when the company first said that it would invite Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei to act, I was very uncertain, these two people's salaries are so expensive, we can't afford to hire low-budget movies." I said what are you afraid of, our story is rare in China, both of them are knowledgeable people, they will definitely like our script, and no matter how expensive the salary is, it will be so much money. I told them that when we make movies, we must put the story as the first priority, and money is the best solution, so why are you worried about money? Later, they took the script to talk, and sure enough, I said it, and it was done.
"Later, the box office was predicted, the company said 100 million, some said 200 million, I said why are you so timid, you don't dare to shout higher at the box office, I said I wish "Hypnosis Master" had a box office of 1 billion."
As soon as Lao Wang said this, everyone in the audience laughed.
Lao Wang smiled: "1 billion must be bragging." But I said 450 million is still something to think about. ”
"I have been friends with our actor Zhang Yuanjun's father for more than ten or twenty years. After the movie broke 400 million, I called Yuanjun's father to report the good news, and I said that your family of three is amazing, and a movie with such a small investment can be brought to such a high box office by the two of them. ”
The audience laughed again, this is also the first time that many people in the audience know that the two families of Zhang and Wang have known each other for a long time.
"I also taught my family that, I said you should also learn from others, don't watch this on the Internet all day long, look at that unpleasant."
The audience laughed, Xiao Wang has frequently fired on Weibo in recent years, and everyone present knows it.
Wang Jianlin then talked a little bit about Wanda's plans for the future, bragging about it, and he also knew that tonight was the home of "Master of Hypnosis", so he didn't say much, and he went down in five or six minutes.
Then, naturally, Ye Ning took the crew and the main creators to the stage to share the experience of winning the box office of 500 million.
After talking about this, the celebration banquet really began.
Tang Yan found Liu Yifei: "You are the first one to ride a bicycle on the red carpet." ”
Liu Yifei smiled: "It's fun, right?" ”
Tang Yan nodded yes, and asked Liu Yifei how long he would stay in the magic capital: "I'll finish it in a few days." ""Living Color" has been filmed for 3 months.
"I'm still early, at least until the end of July." Liu Yifei also couldn't say when it would be filmed.
Tang Yan looked at it and asked Liu Yifei: "Do you really play Shirley Yang in "Looking for the Dragon"? ”
"Why do you ask this?" Liu Yifei said.
"My agent is helping me fight for Lu Chuan's "Nine-Story Demon Tower" against Shirley Yang."
"It's very good, if you can act, you can act." Liu Yifei encouraged her very much.
But Tang Yan said: "I don't want the last two films to come out, and the same character we played will be compared." ”
"Shirley Yang is the heroine, you still don't play the heroine for you?"
Tang Yan's concerns were purely multi-hearted.
"Then you tell me, you can't act in "Looking for the Dragon".
Liu Yifei smiled slyly: "I won't tell you." ”
