Chapter 170 Broadway
After returning from premieres in several other cities.
Gu Wei hosted several cocktail parties for "Interstellar" in Hollywood.
Many directors and filmmakers were invited to come and participate.
"Gu, I hope your movie can achieve good box office success."
This was the sentence Gu Wei heard the most at the cocktail party. There was no other way. The investment cost of this movie was too high, so there would definitely be corresponding box office pressure.
"The script of '2012' is very popular online now. When are you going to shoot it?"
Nolan, who was in charge of the post-production of "Inception" at Warner headquarters, also relaxed for a rare moment and asked Gu Wei with a glass of wine in hand.
Affected by the Hollywood Actors Guild, including the financial crisis that has already begun.
Warner Bros. has made almost no major investments in the second half of this year, and its focus is on the production of several films.
"Well, probably next year."
After clinking glasses with Nolan, Gu Wei smiled slightly and said lightly.
Gu Wei plans to shoot a 3D version of this movie. From actor selection to production completion, it will take at least two years, and this node was also carefully chosen by him.
"A 3D version, like that Cameron movie?"
Nolan has his own unique understanding of filming. Generally speaking, he would choose real shooting. Compared with 3D mode, he prefers IMAX mode.
"Ah."
"Part of the special effects for Inception will be completed by the end of the year. You should come and see it then. I dare say this movie will become a classic."
"No problem, I believe in your ability."
The participation of hundreds of Warner special effects engineers made the film's special effects production very fast, at least much faster than the original time and space.
.........
On September 9th, Los Angeles time, the premiere of "Interstellar" was held at the Broadway Opera House in New York.
Broadway originally meant wide street.
It refers to a long street in New York City that starts from Battery Park and runs from south to north across Manhattan Island, with a total length of 25 kilometers.
Towering buildings stand side by side on both sides of the street, including the famous Wall Street Stock Exchange, as well as Madison Square, Times Square and many other epoch-making buildings representing American financial giants and business tycoons.
The most striking thing is that there are many world-famous theaters gathered between 41st Street and 53rd Street on Broadway. With the development and growth of the theaters, the theatrical performing arts here have achieved unparalleled achievements. As a result, whenever modern people mention Broadway, they seem to have overlooked its original meaning of "broad street", and integrated it with the theatrical performing arts, making it a symbol and representative of the eternal charm of world theatrical art.
But Broadway is not just one theater, but dozens of theaters on one street.
The theater was formerly the Metropolitan Concert Hall and is located in New York City, USA.
Due to poor management, it was gradually transformed into a casino, roller skating rink and exhibition hall. It was not until 1887 that it was converted into the current Broadway Theater.
The premiere of "Interstellar" was held in the largest theater in the country, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
There are many well-known directors and stars present today.
Of course, the major Hollywood media are also involved.
The New York Times and Hollywood Entertainment News Company sent reporters here, and there were also several domestic media outlets, including Sina and Six Princesses.
Famous directors such as Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese.
Famous movie stars such as Matt Damon, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman and others attended the event.
With the addition of Leonardo DiCaprio and Theron, the night was truly star-studded.
The film and television companies present included heads of Warner, Universal, DreamWorks, Paramount and others.
These are companies that have cooperated with Gu Wei or are interested in making friends with him, and are also potential future cooperation partners.
"Senior, does this dress look good on me?" In the hotel room next door, Liu Yifei asked after several hours of makeup and wearing a dress with a sweet smile on her face.
After saying that, he turned around again.
"Very good, how long will it take to get better?"
The young lady's outfit today made Gu Wei's eyes light up. She was wearing a pure white strapless long dress with pink star-shaped embroidery on it, and light gold high heels on her feet.
She was wearing a white casual long coat and a light gold brick necklace around her neck. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her whole temperament looked holy.
After taking a few glances, Gu Wei checked his watch and asked the makeup artist next to him.
"It will take about half an hour, and I have to style my hair."
This is Liu Yifei's first time to come to Hollywood to attend a movie premiere. The makeup artist and stylist were both brought from China by Liu Xiaoli. Liu's mother attached great importance to this event.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll wait for you outside."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, he nodded to Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli beside him and walked out of the room.
...
"Hey, Gu."
Lednardo came late today because of something else and has just finished packing.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Gu Wei.
"Hey, Leon, you look handsome today."
At present, Leo's appearance is still online, and this is the time when his appearance is still good.
"Haha, that's what the angels said too."
The two of them sat on the sofa, chatting non-stop, while staff members were coming in and out, looking busy.
“Gu, Leon, let’s go.”
After chatting for about half an hour, Liu Yifei and Charlize Theron were ready, and they left the hotel together and got into the car.
The premiere scene was decorated by Ryder, and both sides of the long red carpet were filled with reporters and fans.
The fans who attended today wore uniform costumes. There were several spaceship models placed on both sides of the theater entrance, and large posters filled the surroundings.
When the car was about to arrive at the scene, Gu Wei could vaguely hear the shouts of fans.
They were all the actors’ names and nicknames, and many people had prepared support items and posters.
"Will Smith, Matt Damon..."
Objects with celebrity portraits or names on them were constantly waved among the crowd.
At this time, it was already dark at the scene.
The car stopped and the staff quickly stepped forward to open the door. Gu Wei walked out first and extended his hand to Liu Yifei.
In the car behind, Leonardo was also so gentlemanly. After getting out of the car, Charlize Theron gently took his arm.
Seeing the film's main creative team getting out of the car, the media's flash lights kept flashing and the cameras were aimed at them.
After a few people walked onto the red carpet, several other actors followed behind, constantly waving and greeting the audience.
"Ah, Leon."
"Leon, we love you."
In terms of the number of fans, Leonardo does have a scary number. Half of the fans who came today came for him. After all, today is his home court.
