Chapter 188 A star-studded premiere!
After that, I ran around on several fronts and participated in various promotional programs.
Naturally, the Mango TV program "Happy Camp" from his hometown province was indispensable. Originally, Chen An had no plans to go, but the TV station kept calling to invite him.
In the end, Chen An still participated in the show with Yu Jinghong.
The appearance of the two also caused exclamations from the audience, and several hosts also entertained them with many smiles.
They are also very enthusiastic about Chen An, the country's leading international director.
Helped promote the new movie and said that they would definitely go to watch it together.
In any case, as a popular program, it is still helpful for film promotion, even if most of the viewers are children and students.
In Hong Kong Island, only Fang Long is needed, and any program can be arranged with just a word from him.
What's more, the distribution rights of Hong Kong Island are in his hands, so he will naturally work harder.
On the Taiwan side, Chen An also needs to take the initiative, and this time he will not only appear on the "I Guess" show.
She also participated in a program called "Entertainment 100%". The similarity is that both programs have S and S as hosts.
Although Chen An is a director from the mainland, he is still quite popular because in addition to being a mainland director, Chen An is also a famous Hollywood director.
Both the audience and the host were still very curious.
In particular, Big S, who starred in the popular TV series "Meteor Garden", is currently considering developing a career in the film and television industry and is very enthusiastic about Chen An.
I originally wanted to decline the recording of this episode because of filming, but when I heard that the guest was Chen An, I took a leave and came here.
Unfortunately, Chen An had no idea and was quite self-disciplined, so he was not interested in her.
People in Hong Kong don’t really want to use it, let alone people in Taiwan.
With the continuous bombardment of publicity, the news of the movie became known almost nationwide.
On December 13th, the movie officially held its grand premiere!
Even Zhang Yimou, who was still filming, came, as well as several leading actors of Hero, including Zhang Manyu, Liang Chaowei, Chen Daomin, and Jet Li were all present!
Of course, Chen Daomin is one of the characters in the movie, so he must have gotten there.
Han Sanping laid a specially customized red carpet that was dozens of meters high, four meters long and wide on the steps before the entrance!
Next to the red carpet, there were countless long-awaited reporters taking pictures frantically, making it like a film festival!
To use what he and Chen An said: "Big! Definitely big!"
It was quite a grand scene.
Even some of the invited female stars wore specially designed evening gowns, which seemed to steal the show.
One almost forgets that this is the premiere of a movie.
I asked you to come here to show off our strength, and now you come here to bring goods. Are you trying to take advantage of each other?
Many people were invited, even Director Chen arrived at the scene with his wife.
Walking on the red carpet, he waved freely to the reporters beside him, and when he walked up the steps, he shook hands with Chen An.
Although "The Emperor and the Assassin" failed and he temporarily went to film a TV series, the reporters were still very excited about his appearance.
Because even so, generally speaking, media reporters and some netizens still generally believe that there is an endless debate about who is the number one mainland director today.
However, the generally recognized three giants are still Chen An, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.
Feng Xiaogang's fame is rising day by day, and his films have been successful at the box office, but he is still left behind by these three and does not have any awards to show for himself.
Feng Xiaogang was so angry, but he couldn't get angry. In the end, even Gong Li came. Chen An invited her personally, so she naturally wouldn't refuse, even if Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping were there.
"Sister Li, welcome, welcome. I've arranged a good seat for you. I guarantee you'll enjoy the show." Chen An said with a smile to Gong Li who walked up to him.
Gong Li said it didn't matter, "Just stay away from your senior brother and his friends."
"Of course, sit next to me and I'll accompany you." Chen An naturally knew the relationship between these two people.
"Why not ask me to play the role you mentioned earlier? I've been waiting for five years. If I wait any longer, I'll be too old." Gong Li said with a smile when she heard Chen An's arrangement.
This was not the first time Chen An had heard this question, so he finally gave an answer: "Next year, next year. Not only you are waiting, but the school is waiting too. It's my graduation project."
"Okay then. I'll definitely make time for your movie while I'm waiting."
Gong Li was also very happy to hear that it was Chen An's graduation work. She knew that Chen An was currently studying for a double degree in directing and photography at the Beijing Film Academy.
It must be not easy to put the pressure together. After getting the correct answer, Gong Li happily hugged Chen An before entering the venue.
After Chen An stood on the stage and thanked everyone who came, "Time and Space Clues" made its first official appearance!
He and several main creators also went off the stage and sat in the seats arranged in advance.
The seat is in the front row, which is not the best position for watching movies, but it is convenient. As for Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others, they were arranged to sit in suitable positions for watching movies at the back.
Only Gong Li was left in the front row.
And the people present finally saw the true face of this movie whose copyright was sold at a sky-high price of 2900 million US dollars!
It starts on a ship and gradually unfolds in a suspenseful atmosphere.
The new sci-fi ideas are also being deciphered step by step.
The tight pace makes every step touch the audience's nerves. It has all the necessary scenes, including car racing, explosions and gunfights!
But all of this is just spice. The truly fascinating suspenseful and puzzle-solving plot is that the criminal who was arrested in the middle said something incomprehensible.
Of course, some careful viewers also noticed Zhang Guorong’s guest appearance, although he only appeared in one scene.
This film, which is different from the domestic style, allowed the journalists and film critics present to see the style and standards of Hollywood productions!
The 20 million US dollars in production budget was indeed not wasted!
There is no doubt that this movie will become a milestone in Chinese-language films. It will not only open the era of blockbusters, but also directly raise the standard of commercial film production by more than one level!
Regardless of the fact that the plot is not at all flashy, the pictures are comfortable to watch and the rhythm is clear, making them feel like watching a Hollywood blockbuster!
In the ending setting, Li Jiaju, who traveled from four days later, saved the heroine and more than 500 passengers and reserve police officers who died in the explosion, but he himself died under the water. The originally sad heroine saw Li Jiaju in the present time period incredulously and seemed to understand everything in an instant.
The two were in the car, the heroine repeated to the hero what he had said to her, and then they drove away in the scorching sun!
"Clap clap clap clap!"
As the film ended, there was immediate and continuous applause from the audience!
It’s not that they haven’t seen this type of movie before, but when this type of movie appears in the Chinese-language film industry, the high standard makes them unable to help but applaud!
This is a breakthrough for Chinese-language films!
It is not just in terms of production costs, but also a breakthrough in film standards and in the fields of commercial and science fiction films!
This is an unprecedented attempt in Chinese-language films, and it is undoubtedly a great success. It is a science fiction film comparable to Hollywood films!
"It turns out that there is a reason why you can be successful in Hollywood." Even Gong Li, who was sitting next to Chen An, couldn't help but applaud.
As a deep participant in the Chinese-language film and television industry, she knows what a film of this caliber means to the Chinese-language film industry today!
In this country where even drama films are still unsuccessful, we are deeply engaged in the business model of action films and comedy films.
This mature style of commercial film is simply epoch-making!
