Chapter 380 Premiere Comparison
The promotion and publicity of "2012" is still proceeding in an orderly manner. With the three companies working together, the popularity has remained high.

Especially on Wanda's side, stills and posters of the movies were directly displayed in front of all its cinemas.

Cheng Long, Liu Yifei, Matt Damon, and Nicole Kidman all have their own stills, plus group photos of several of them, a total of five posters are placed at the entrance and exit of the theater, very conspicuous. Even during the screenings of other movies, passing audience fans will stop in front of the posters and talk about them in twos and threes. It can be said that the gimmick is full of excitement.

In the blink of an eye, it was September 9, the day when the three companies held their premiere celebrations.

This time, the location chosen by Guangxian was somewhat remote, and its scale was also much smaller than that of the other two companies.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when Gu Wei and Liu Yifei arrived at the premiere, they discovered that not only the scale, but even the invited guests were not very important.

In terms of directors, Ning Hao and Xu Zheng are already big names, and there is no need to mention Gu Wei. The rest are Chen Jiashang and several directors from Hong Kong Island, who are not very famous either.

In terms of actors and artists, Liu Yifei stands out from the crowd. At first glance, there is no one who can compare with her. Even Sun Li, there is a big gap. The status of TV and movie stars is fully demonstrated at this moment.

"Mr. Wang, this scene is a bit shabby." Gu Wei couldn't help but teasing as soon as they met, and Liu Yifei next to him also had a smile on her face.

"Hey, what's so shabby about it? The fact that Director Gu and Yifei can come today is much better than anyone else. How does the saying go? It feels like our humble home is given a new lease of life, haha." Wang Changtian was still the same as always, speaking nice words casually.

"Uh." Hearing this, Gu Wei had an indescribable feeling.

The premiere of "Light" was very simple, and there were no surprises on the red carpet. Only Liu Yan, who was wearing a bandage outfit, showed off her figure and attracted the attention of a group of old-fashioned people at the scene.

Gu Wei couldn't help but take a few more glances, and ended up being attacked by the young lady.

On the stage of the venue, Xie Nan served as the host, and then Chen Jiashang brought the main creative team, including Deng Chao, Sun Li, Yan Ni, Bao Beier, Zou Zhaolong and others to the stage.

I thought it would follow the old routine, with a lot of talk about the hard work of creation and filming, but I didn't expect there would be a performance show.

At the scene, first Zou Zhaolong and Liu Yan danced, followed by Yan Ni and Zou Zhaolong's "striptease".

Below the stage, the corners of Gu Wei's mouth twitched slightly, and he and Liu Yifei looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This, the arranged program is really special." Liu Yifei said, trying hard to suppress her smile.

After the show and interview, the main film will naturally be shown.

To be honest, in Gu Wei's opinion, this movie is completely mediocre. There are almost no highlights, and some of the lines are even a bit awkward.

In the original time and space, this movie once had such a significant place in the history of domestic bad movies.

Here, you can not only see scenes from "Journey to the West", "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "The Matrix", etc.

You can also see Sun Li wearing four Oreos on her head.

However, there are more female actors, which may satisfy the viewing desire of some viewers.

"Clap clap clap."

After the movie ended, the guests and media reporters at the scene also applauded out of respect.

During the cocktail party, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei naturally became the focus of the entire venue.

I saw Liu Yifei chatting and laughing with Xie Nan, Liu Yan, Sun Li and others not far away.

From time to time, a group of people would look at Gu Wei who was surrounded by a group of people.

"Is 'The Blade of the Assassin' over?"

After seeing Zou Zhaolong, Gu Wei asked.

"Not yet, but Xiao Hao is in charge over there, so there's no problem with the progress." Zou Zhaolong had a smile on his face. He and Gu Wei were quite familiar with each other and didn't feel too restrained. However, Bao Beier and others next to him had ingratiating expressions on their faces and were a little nervous.

"Hello, Director Gu. I am Zheng Shuang, a student of Beijing Film Academy in 07..."

While they were talking, a young girl came over and introduced herself.

Hearing this, Director Chen Jiashang looked a little surprised. There was no one to introduce him, and he just walked over so directly, which seemed a bit abrupt.

On the contrary, Gu Wei's expression remained unchanged, "Hello." he replied.

At this moment, the girl in front of me has not yet become a unit of measurement, and can be considered young and beautiful.

……

After the premiere of "Painted Skin", the two took a short break. Gu Wei led his team directly to the premiere of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", while the young lady, accompanied by her assistant, went to the premiere of "The Revolution of 1911".

Compared with the shabbyness of Guangguang, the scale of Bona can be said to be grand.

This time the venue chosen was the Beijing National Stadium, and it was jointly organized by several distributors including Bona Film Group, China Film Group, Shanghai Shangshi Films, and Capital Huaying Shengshi.

As one of the most anticipated blockbusters in the country, and hosted by giants such as China Film and Bona Film Group, today's Beijing National Indoor Stadium was packed with stars and guests.

There was a red carpet at the entrance of the venue, and a huge movie poster was erected on one side. The stars and guests who came to support the event signed the posters as they passed by, and then stood for a while to let the reporters take pictures.

The bigwigs present included Han Sanping from China Film Group, Yu Dong from Bonanza, Ye Ning from Wanda, Li Ming from Xiaoma Pentium, and Mr. Wang from Huayi. As for the stars, the main creative team included Li Lianjie, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Li Yuchun, Gui Meilun, and Fan Xiaoxuan, while the supporting actors included Fan Shaohuang, Liu Jiahui, and Wang Shuangbao.

The guests who attended the event included Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Nie Yuan, Fan Binbin, Zhao Yanzi, Wang Baoqi, Jing Tian…

There are also some big stars who came for the sake of Han Sanping and Yu Dong, such as Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Guan Hu, Zhang Guoli, etc.

Most of the people who came here were directors and stars from the Beijing circle, which is normal. On the other hand, for the other film "The Revolution of 1911", the situation was just the opposite. Most of the people who came here were from the Shanghai circle. The two sides were clearly divided and each had their own factions.

In addition to the big stars, there are also important members of the "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" crew such as directors and team leaders, some employees and leaders of China Film Group, Bona and other companies. In short, this lineup is going to be a big deal.

Many celebrities and media reporters entered the hall from different entrances and sat down in the seats marked with their names.

As the director of the film, Xu Ke, together with Yu Dong, was responsible for receiving some of the important guests.

As the host of the movie channel came on stage and introduced the difficulty of filming "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", the premiere celebration officially began.

The movie was being shown, and Gu Wei, Han Sanping and others were sitting in the first row watching the movie.

To be honest, this movie is a typical example of rehashing leftovers, with a similar plot to the Hong Kong movie "New Dragon Inn", but it lacks a bit of flavor.

Looking at Liu Jiahui, Fan Shaohuang, Li Lianjie and others appearing on the screen, Gu Wei felt a little emotional, as those people have also grown old.

Once upon a time, the Hong Kong film market, which had an impact on the entire Southeast Asia and even Hollywood sent people to learn action techniques, could never regain its glory.

Off the stage, Gu Wei was paying attention to the older generation of actors, while others were focusing on the special effects of the movie.

Needless to say, Han Sanping and Yu Dong are the publishers, while Ye Ning and Wang Zhonglei are here for investigation purposes.

After all, Gu Wei's next movie requires a huge investment, and several companies are investing hundreds of millions of dollars. Naturally, they have to look at the special effects technology of Xingchen Film and Television Company. "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" spent tens of millions on special effects, which just meets everyone's goals.

The movie continued to show. To be honest, everyone could guess how the story would develop, but the special effects shown in the camera really made everyone's eyes light up.

"Not bad, it seems that Old Yu's money was not wasted." Han Sanping commented calmly. Yu Dong on his right smiled and said nothing when he heard it.

Seeing that Gu Wei did not respond, Han Sanping raised his voice a little, "It's okay for the special effects of "The Wandering Earth" to be handled by a domestic team." After saying that, he patted Gu Wei's arm.

"What?" Gu Wei paused and turned to ask.

"Our movie needs Hollywood to participate in the special effects production."

"Domestic special effects engineers can handle it. Some of the more difficult shots will be handed over to the people at Tomorrow Star Films. However, in the name of the outside world, it is still a completely domestic special effects blockbuster."

After the last meeting, the company’s engineers made a plan, and the domestic team will be entirely responsible for the post-production. It’s not technically difficult, it just takes extra time.

For this film shoot, Gu Wei will follow the standard Hollywood industrial process and divide into several groups to work simultaneously, thus shortening the special effects production time.

Honestly speaking, considering the current cost of film production, "The Wandering Earth" does not need an investment of 200 million US dollars. 150 or 160 million is completely sufficient. The extra funds will naturally be used to increase staff, speed up the production, and strive for an early release.

...

At the same time, the premiere of "The Revolution of 1911" was also held at the same time.

Compared with "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", the scale here is not small, with many media reporters gathered on the scene, and the latest reports are updated on the Internet from time to time.

The main creative staff including Cheng Long, Li Binbin, Hu Ge, Zhang Li, Zhao Wenxuan, Sun Chun, Chen Chong, Jaycee Chan and others were all present.

Although there are fewer mainland stars, there are many more guests from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Chef Xie, Daniel Wu, Louis Koo, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Jin Chengwu and other Hong Kong and Taiwan stars came to the scene to show their support.

Directors such as John Woo, Wong Kar-wai and Peter Chan also walked on the red carpet.

Afterwards, the appearance of Liu Yifei brought the atmosphere to its climax.

On both sides of the red carpet, a large number of fans kept shouting.

Sina Entertainment, Penguin Entertainment, and other news media including Six Princesses also took the opportunity to conduct a thorough interview.

Within one day, three movies held their premiere ceremonies at the same time. At this time, careful netizens opened the portal website, especially the movie information, and the promotional news of several movies could account for more than two-thirds.

Although Guangguang's film is not as large-scale as the other two, it has received all the necessary coverage. After all, it started out by relying on radio and news activities, and its publicity channels have a great advantage.

The news photos of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei rushing around in succession also caused a lot of ridicule from netizens.

"As expected of a great director, he has no time to rest."

"They are all big companies in the industry. It would be inappropriate for the couple not to go. Some of them are busy."
