Chapter 394 Pick-up
In Hollywood, the box office of "2012" exceeded million in the first three days of its weekend. In the following days, the average daily box office was no less than million US dollars.

26th, 27th, 28th, until the 29th, the North American box office officially exceeded 6 million US dollars, and the global box office reached about million.

It can be said that with the release of "2012" in various countries and regions, a visual feast has officially begun.

Capital International Airport.

A little after ten in the morning, Gu Wei was driving to the airport with Liu Yifei sitting in the passenger seat. Gu Wei was concentrating on steering the wheel while Liu Yifei was holding her cell phone and laughing from time to time.

"What are you enjoying?"

"Haha, these are all news and gossips from the industry. The official promotional platform of the Golden Rooster Awards, Popular Films, went bankrupt. Huo and Huang had a Weibo war. The audience didn't buy into the 15th anniversary event of the Crosstalk Society and collectively demanded a refund. The netizens' complaints are really interesting."

After arriving at the airport, both of them sat in the car and did not get out.

But Gu Wei's license plate is remembered by entertainment reporters, and it is no secret in the circle.

"Is it Director Gu's car?"

"You didn't get out of the car. Are you waiting for someone?"

"Who are you waiting for? Who can get Director Gu to come pick you up in person? And with a convoy of cars."

"According to the time, the other two protagonists of '2012' should be arriving in China soon, right? In that case, Director Gu is here to pick them up at the airport today."

"It's most likely that he's here to pick me up at the airport. I should say he's here to pick someone up."

……

A group of entertainment reporters were becoming more and more excited. Today was really a good day with many big names coming.

Jackie Chan and Tony Leung Ka Fai just left the airport, but unexpectedly Matt Damon and Nicole Kidman also arrived in the capital this morning.

Near half past ten, the cell phone vibrated. Gu Wei picked it up and saw the word "Reid".

He answered immediately and got out of the car.

"Boss, we came out, didn't we see you?"

At the same time, Ryder, Matt Damon and others walked out of the airport security checkpoint and asked.

The reporters looked at Director Gu who was looking around and quickly turned their cameras towards him.

"Exit, we'll be there soon."

Gu Wei said with a smile, and walked straight towards the exit with Liu Yifei.

The media reporters in the distance also gradually gathered around. They were all old acquaintances and were very skilled in doing this.

A few minutes later.

Reid and others, wearing black suits, appeared at the exit of the passage.

Next to them are Matt Damon and Nicole Kidman wearing trench coats.

Several assistants and bodyguards followed, pushing luggage or blocking passers-by.

The moment he saw Gu Wei, Reid smiled and walked over quickly.

The two hugged each other.

"Welcome to the capital again, Matt." Gu Wei then walked up to Matt Damon and gave him another warm hug, chatting and joking.

As for the hug of Nicole Kidman, it was naturally done by Liu Yifei.

After they chatted for a few minutes, Liu Yifei, who was standing nearby, reminded them with a smile, "Let's go quickly. There are many people watching us. Don't disturb other people at the airport."

Hearing the voice, Gu Wei hurriedly signaled to Matt Damon, and the few of them walked outside.

There were many passengers going in and out, and many people stopped to watch. Many of them were taking photos or videos with their mobile phones, which indeed caused some congestion.

A group of media reporters in the distance were already extremely excited.

Just after we took photos of Jackie Chan, Tony Leung Chiu-fai and others, Director Gu came to pick them up at the airport in person.

Not to mention, the people who picked up the call were two of Hollywood's top A-list movie stars, Matt Damon and Nicole Kidman.

This morning, everyone made a lot of money. This must have contributed to several entertainment headlines, right?
The assistants and bodyguards of Reid and others got on the car of Star Film and Television Company with their suitcases. They went back directly without staying.

"Gu, Crystal, after this premiere, Nicole and I plan to stay in the capital for two more days. You must show us around."

Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, Matt Damon, and Nicole Kidman were sitting in a car. When they came, Gu Wei drove his own car, and when they went back, there were more people, so a business car was naturally more convenient.

As for Ryder, hey, he's in the car behind.

"Okay, I'll take you for a stroll around the area and let you try some authentic Chinese food."

Liu Yifei said with a smile, and Gu Wei nodded behind her.

"Great, I'm going to take more pictures this time and show them to Leon. You don't know, ever since the box office of 2012 came out, this guy has called me almost every day. He's almost jealous of me, haha."

When talking about this, Matt Damon couldn't help laughing, and Nicole Kidman next to him also covered her mouth and laughed.

……

At noon, entertainment news is extremely eye-catching.

"Director Gu and Yifei showed up at the Capital Airport to pick us up in person."

"Hollywood's famous A-list movie stars Matt Damon and Nicole Kidman arrived in the capital and had a pleasant conversation with director Gu Wei outside the airport."

"Hong Kong superstars such as Cheng Long and Tony Leung Ka Fai have arrived in the capital, presumably to attend the premiere of 2012."

People in the film and television industry and the entertainment industry are all very smart. In the past two days, so many big names have flown to the capital or rushed back in a hurry. Today, even the top actors from Hollywood have arrived.

As for the reason, it is already obvious and it can be basically confirmed that they are all here for "2012".

"Old Hu, this time it's all thanks to you, thank you, today is my treat, please order whatever you want."

In a private restaurant in the capital, Tang Yan held up a fresh invitation letter, waved his hand, and said in a heroic manner.

"You said it, haha. Then I won't be polite. Today I'm going to kill the rich man, haha."

Hearing this, Hu Ge called the waiter and ordered food.

Both of them are locals in Shanghai. They met because of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III". Hu Ge played Jingtian and Tang Yan played Zixuan. After the filming, the two became good friends. Whenever they are in Shanghai, they will meet for dinner and chat in their spare time.

"Don't be polite. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to go to the 2012 show. If you look at the news, almost all the big names in the industry are here."

At this moment, Tang Yan's status in the circle is not high. Although he has participated in many works, he has few representative works.

In the private room, the two chatted while eating. After Tang Yan saw the latest news report, he sighed: "It would be great if I could join Xingchen Film and Television. I would have no worries about not being able to develop with Director Gu."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ge, who was eating happily, was stunned for a moment, and a thousand thoughts suddenly ran through his mind.

……

At the same time, after sending Matt Damon and others to the hotel, Gu Wei returned home and posted on Weibo to promote "Parents' Love", because this TV series will be aired at the beginning of next month.

Gu Wei only remembered this after Wang Chen reminded him. After all, the broadcasting rights for several rounds had been sold for a long time.

In the evening, Han Sanping hosted a party, and Ye Ning, Cheng Long, Huang Xiaoming and others all attended. They had a lively welcoming banquet and then left early.

After all, there was important work to do the next day, so no one stayed too late.

No. 29, Capital.

It's a nice, sunny Tuesday.

The mainland premiere of "2012", jointly organized by China Film Group, Xingchen Films and Wanda Pictures, was held in the CPPCC Auditorium.

As a Sino-US co-production, Gu Wei did not expect that it would be filmed in this place. It also shows that China Film Group has put in a lot of effort.

"Director Han, the premiere of 2012 was held in the CPPCC Auditorium, so the premiere of The Wandering Earth must be held in the Great Hall of the People."

Before the premiere, Gu Wei called Han Sanping and joked.

"Great Hall, huh, if you can guarantee that The Wandering Earth can gross more than 1 billion US dollars worldwide, I will apply for you to hold the premiere at the Temple of Heaven."

Wow, Gu Wei was shocked when he heard this.

"2012", the premiere invitations have been sent out, some of which were personally written by Gu Wei and Liu Yifei. After all, reciprocity is the right thing to do.

"'2012', directed by Gu Wei and starring Cheng Long, Liu Yifei, Huang Xiaoming, Matt Damon and Nicole Kidman, is about to be released."

"The final global premiere of '2012' will be held in the CPPCC Auditorium."

"This film grossed over 6 million US dollars in just one week worldwide..."

The media are reporting: "2012" will hold its premiere ceremony today.

Early in the morning, the latest promotional information of "2012" was posted on the Weibo of Cheng Long, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Yifei and others. In addition, Li Binbin, Chen Daoming and others who participated in the guest appearance also posted on Weibo at the same time.

Except for Li Binbin who is in Hollywood, almost all the other actors, whether main actors, supporting actors or guest actors, will attend the premiere.

It was quite lively on Liu Yifei's side. The mother and daughter, as well as Su Chang who came earlier, were surrounded by several makeup artists and stylists.

"Xixi, Auntie, and Changchang, see you later. I'll be over first."

Gu Wei, who had rested at the young lady's place last night, got up early in the morning, packed up simply, and just went downstairs. He saw several busy people and said with a smile.

"Okay, see you later." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly at Gu Wei in the mirror.

"Drive slowly and be careful on the road." Liu Xiaoli reminded specifically.

Liu Xiaoli will also attend the premiere today, but not with Liu Yifei, but with Su Chang.

As for Gu Wei, he naturally has to entertain the guests first. According to Han Sanping, they are all here for you, so you can't just leave this job to us.

"2012" is a top-notch Sino-US co-production, and many directors in the industry have come.

Even those who were very busy found time to come out, as everyone wanted to watch this film with amazing special effects.

Song Ge, Wang Chen and Jiang Xueruo each brought their own people and had already been waiting at the scene to receive the guests.

Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, Lu Yang and other directors of the company also arrived at the scene early.

"Director Gu didn't say when we'll arrive?"

Jiang Wen asked as he walked Zhou Yunna across the red carpet.

"No, it should be soon."

Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Wang Da and Wang Xiao, Yu Dong, Ye Ning, Yang Shoucheng and others entered the venue one after another.

All the well-known companies, actors and stars in the industry are included...

A business car was parked outside, and the people who got out were big-name celebrities and domestic directors. The reporters were also so busy that they couldn't stop.
