Chapter 384: The premiere of the tour begins
In the crew of "The Blade of the Assassin", Su Chang, who was not in good shape during the filming in the past few days, has adjusted himself again.

Not using Ng for several consecutive shots made director Lu Yang very happy.

For others, as long as the director doesn't lose his temper, it's a sunny day.

"That's fine. Director Gu spoke up for you. I heard that several actors from the agency apologized privately. That's quite an honor."

In front of the monitor, after finishing filming Su Chang's scene, Lu Yang jokingly said when he saw her coming over.

"Alas, I just played a cameo role, but I didn't expect there would be so much trouble. If anyone wants to see me in the future, I will definitely not go." Su Chang was in a good mood at this moment. Anyone who has a big stone in his heart removed would breathe a sigh of relief.

"What if Director Gu invites you?"

"Playing a cameo role in Director Gu's movie is called a cameo. That's called breaking into Hollywood."

When these words were spoken, everyone laughed.

Zhao Wenzhuo next to him was a little envious at the moment. He had been filming movies in Hong Kong Island for many years. For a celebrity artist, it is particularly important to have someone behind him and to have a good company.

The more famous the star, the more so.

After all, even Jackie Chan was forcibly "invited" to make a movie during his peak period, and Li Lianjie also experienced the incident of his agent being shot, which was one of the reasons why he finally went to Hollywood to seek development.

……

The situation is different from that of Wang Changtian and Yang Zi.

The extremely high box office of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" allowed Bona to hold a celebration banquet in advance.

Director Xu Ke and many main creators gathered together, providing the media with more reporting material.

After the celebration banquet, "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" continued to dominate the entertainment news the next day.

Sina Entertainment said: "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" grossed 2.6 million yuan in seven days, creating the "strongest National Day period" in history, making it an important period that can stand on equal footing with the "summer period" and "Lunar New Year period".

Long before this, although there was the concept of the "National Day period" for Chinese-language films, it was just a "concept period". After all, most people's attention was focused on the Lunar New Year period.

Unexpectedly, just a few years later, a domestic blockbuster nearly broke the 300 million box office during the seven-day National Day holiday, which made countless filmmakers see the box office potential of the seven-day National Day holiday. I believe that more and more blockbusters will choose to compete for the National Day holiday in the future...

The film channel's flagship column "China Film Report" commented: The emergence of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" has created a new model for Chinese-language martial arts films. The combination of special effects and martial arts films has allowed traditional martial arts films to see a way out. This is a real big step forward for Chinese-language martial arts films.

At the end of September and the beginning of October, there were some low-budget and unknown films. Except for a few that were afraid of the names of 9D blockbusters and withdrew from the schedule, the rest all became cannon fodder.

From the 2nd to the 12th, only one new film, Perfect Love, was released, and its box office performance in another time and space was 22. If you don't go to the General Administration to check the records in this world, it is estimated that many people don't know that such a film has been released.

In fact, mainland moviegoers are pitiful, always suffering from bad movies. Once a decent movie appears, there will often be a "retaliatory" movie-watching craze.

Regarding the birth of bad movies, Feng Xiaogang’s opinion is: this generation of audiences is not good, there are a lot of rubbish audiences, which is why so many rubbish movies are produced.

It is unfair to put the blame for bad movies directly on the audience. In the final analysis, it is the market that is to blame.

The audience's desire to watch movies is an objective entertainment demand. What can we do when there are more bad movies than good ones? We can only choose movies with many stars and watch the publicity.

You can't always tell your girlfriend when she wants to see a movie: All movies are crappy and nothing to watch. Why don't we go on a seven-day tour to Jinjiang Hanting Home Inn?

...

It is almost mid-October, and Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, including Cheng Long and others, will also set off for Hollywood to attend the global tour premiere of "2012".

While there was still time, Gu Wei and the young lady came to the crew of "The Eternal Sword" to visit the set.

"The Eternal Sword" was shot simultaneously in two groups, A and B. Director Zhang Dapeng was in charge of the martial arts scenes, while director Wang Weiting was in charge of the literary scenes.

During the period when the TV series just started filming, the crew mainly shot literary scenes. For action actors, literary scenes are naturally not as good as fighting scenes.

The TV series director should be the least visible one in the director circle. Because everyone cares about the plot, discusses the actors, why the protagonist hasn't exploded, why the little bitch hasn't died. As for who the director is, few people care.

Unless it is like the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions", the various elements in the film seriously deviate from the public aesthetic, and the director Li Shaohong was criticized and became very popular.

However, it was a coincidence that when Gu Wei and Liu Yifei arrived at the crew, the literary scenes in the previous scenes had been filmed mostly, and it was time to switch to the martial arts scenes. The martial arts scenes now mainly rely on coercion and special effects, and the requirements for actors' expressions are quite low, but for Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin, the martial arts scenes are real fights.

In fact, during the tense fighting process, no one will notice the expressions on the actors' faces except for close-up shots.

But the three of them had the same request, which was to shoot the most realistic and exciting fighting scenes.

When the two arrived at the crew, they were naturally welcomed warmly. After a round of greetings, Gu Wei and the young lady stood by and watched the filming of the martial arts scenes with great interest.

At the shooting scene, three people were seen each holding props and weapons, and moving according to a pre-set routine.

"Wow, their movements are so beautiful, just like the martial arts masters of ancient times."

The young lady said with her big eyes twinkling, "Guess who is the most powerful among the three of them in real life?" Looking at the young lady, Gu Wei asked a question impromptu.

"Yang Junyi, I heard he is a Wuying-level athlete and has students in his hometown. He must have real kung fu skills."

When the three of them joined the Eighteenth Company, Liu Yifei also learned some detailed information and now spoke with confidence.

At this moment, the character played by Yang Junyi in front of him clearly had the upper hand and was somewhat suppressing others.

"Haha, you don't know this. I heard that Yu Bo used to be the bodyguard of the national leader. Among the three of them, he should be the most powerful in terms of actual combat ability."

Yu Bo never told Gu Wei about this, and Gu Wei didn't ask. After all, he was signing a contract as an artist, not a bodyguard.

The boss came to visit the crew, and the two directors shot a few shots. Afterwards, they accepted interviews from reporters and promoted "The Eternal Sword".

After visiting the crew of "The Immortal Sword", I naturally couldn't miss the crew of "Ghost Blows Out the Light". Anyway, the two crews are not far away, and some scenes were shot at the Huairou Film and Television Base, which is just a few steps away.

Since "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is a modern drama, there were a lot of non-proper shots and special effects during the filming, so naturally there were not many fighting scenes.

You can't be shooting and then Hu Bayi suddenly shouts "Give me your life" and suddenly flies over to you and attacks you with a few moves.

.........

October 10th, Capital International Airport.

After accepting a series of interviews, Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, Cheng Long and others flew directly to Los Angeles.

"It is reported that Director Gu Wei, Liu Yifei and Cheng Long set off for Hollywood to start the premiere of "2012"."

“2012 will be released simultaneously in dozens of countries and regions around the world!”

"According to Director Gu Wei, the premiere route will be held in New York, Paris, London, Melbourne, Tokyo, Seoul and other places, and the last stop will be held in the capital."

"According to The Hollywood Reporter, Matt Damon, Nicole Kidman and other leading actors will participate in the tour premiere throughout the entire process."

Less than an hour passed and Sina, Penguin, Nandu Entertainment, and even the central media were all reporting the news frantically online.

Such a grand event naturally attracted a lot of attention in the circle. Even mainland actresses going to Hollywood to shoot movies can cause heated discussions, not to mention this 3D blockbuster directed by a Chinese director himself.

"Time flies. It's time to test the results." Han Sanping muttered to himself after seeing the report.

It can be said that the success or failure of "2012" will also have an impact on the subsequent "The Wandering Earth".

After all, the contribution of a successful commercial film director to the next film is immeasurable.

Afterwards, Han Sanping called the person in charge of publicity and promotion and reminded him to release the final trailer of "2012" on time as instructed by Gu Wei.

At the same time, Ye Ning of Wanda Pictures gave the same instructions.

"2012" was so popular before it was released that it even suppressed the popularity of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate". Yu Dong of Bona suddenly found that the chicken leg in his hand was not delicious anymore.

"They are going for the global box office record, and they want US dollars. We have achieved some results, but we should not be complacent."

If the CEOs of major film and television companies are like this, one can imagine the reactions of the celebrities and artists in the industry.

"It would be great if Liu Yifei was replaced by me." This idea is definitely what most female stars in the circle are thinking at the moment, but no one dares to express it. Instead, they cheer for them.

"Come on Yifei, I hope your tour premiere goes well." Zhou Xun was the first to send his blessings on Weibo.

Artists under the 18th Company followed suit, wishing Gu Wei's film a smooth release and hoping that the global box office will surpass "Avatar".

Afterwards, Fan Binbin, Zhang Ziyi, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and even Li Binbin who was already in Hollywood sent their blessings.

Especially Li Binbin, who also played a cameo role in the film and did not forget to take advantage of the popularity, which made other big stars feel a little jealous.

...

On the plane, the people sitting in the first class had different reactions. Gu Wei was resting with his eyes closed, while Liu Yifei, Cheng Long, and Huang Xiaoming were chatting excitedly and nervously.

"Director Gu still has a better attitude. I have been in the industry for more than 40 years, but I am not as open-minded as him." Cheng Long said with some emotion.

Hearing this, Liu Yifei's expression became a little embarrassed. He was not in a good mood at all. It was obvious that the young lady was too excited last night. In order to appease the young lady, Gu Wei had to work hard, so he was naturally a little tired.

Seeing this, the experienced Cheng Long naturally noticed it and then changed the subject. Huang Xiaoming on the side also smiled and said nothing.

When Liu Yifei saw Gu Wei sleeping soundly, she gritted her teeth secretly and was a little annoyed, "You pighead, it's all your fault. You made me embarrassed."
