Chapter 143 Shocking Release
When the news came back, Li Shaohong was very excited and hurriedly communicated with Yang Mi's parents, telling them how rare this opportunity was.

Yang Mi's parents were in a dilemma because it was not easy for them to go abroad due to their work.

But since my daughter has already chosen this path, as a parent we must fully support her.

After consulting about the shooting period, it was estimated to be at most half a month, and finally decided that Yang Mi's mother would accompany her there.

When Yang Mi learned that she would be starring in Jiang Heng's new film, she was extremely excited.

She quickly called her childhood friends and sisters and had dinner together at a hot pot restaurant near her home.

In the box, seven or eight teenage boys and girls gathered around the table, drinking.

A little boy who looked a bit like "Feng Kuzi" in "Days Related to Youth" said: "Come on, let me say a few words. Comrade "Xiao Lihai" was a child star in the past and filmed several dramas. But from this moment on, she is no longer a child star, but a young actor who has officially debuted!

The film he is participating in is the new film directed by Jiang Heng, a special effects blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million US dollars!

Do you know how much hundreds of millions of US dollars is? Converted into RMB, it’s more than 800 million!”

A little girl looked confused and asked, "How much is that?"

"Don't interrupt me, it's just a lot of money. It's a good sign that Comrade Xiao Lihai has just made his debut and can participate in such a movie. He will definitely become a big star in the future. Let's applaud and congratulate him!"

After that, warm applause broke out in the box.

Yang Mi was extremely happy, but also a little embarrassed, and said in a delicate voice: "Oh, it's just a small supporting role. A small supporting role should be low-key. You just need to know it, and don't say anything outside!"

"Don't worry, Da Mimi, I will promote it to the class when I get out and encourage everyone to go to the cinema to watch your new movie!" said a little girl.

Yang Mi was pleasantly surprised. "Oh, thank you so much, thank you so much. I am so happy to have your support!"

A kid like "Feng Ku Zi" said: "Do you understand? When the new movie comes out, we must call on our classmates to support it!"

Everyone said, of course!

Some said that even if there is no "Mimi", Director Jiang’s movies are still worth watching!

Then we talked about the screening the day after tomorrow, and tickets would probably be hard to buy then.

Someone said, "Mi Mi, you have signed a contract with Director Jiang, can you ask him for some tickets?"

Yang Mi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Director Jiang is just filming, the cinema is not his!"

A little girl said, "I heard from my dad that Director Jiang is the second largest shareholder of China Film Red Cinema Line, so he belongs to the family, right?"

I have to say that kids in Beijing do have a lot of information, and anyone can know anything.

Those in the box really didn't know about this news. One of them said, "Director Jiang is making movies and also has a theater. Doesn't that mean he's making all the money? How does that saying go?"

"Train services?"

“It’s the entire industry chain!”

“That’s amazing! That’s amazing!”

"Little Awesome, you don't have to pick on anyone in the future. Take advantage of this trip to the United States to film and get along well with Director Jiang. When you grow up, you can marry him directly!"

Yang Mi said: "I don't want to marry someone from Hong Kong. If I have to choose, I'd choose someone from Beijing, who is within the Third Ring Road and can go back to my parents' home for dinner whenever I have time. Hahaha!"

The little boy who looked like Feng Pants looked like he was about to cry. He slowly stood up and said, "Mi Mi, I know you have me in your heart. Don't say anything. I will go to America with you this time. No one can stop me!"

"roll!"

"Hey!" The little boy sat down with a smile, and another burst of laughter rang out in the box.

Several people enjoyed the meal very much and made an appointment to go to see "The Matrix 21" together on Saturday, the 2st, which was the day after the film was released.

In the blink of an eye, the day came. A few of us gathered at a shopping mall near our home at around nine in the morning. When we got to the cinema, we saw that it was packed with people.

"Da Mimi, when your movie is released in the future, there will definitely be so many people there!" said the little girl.

When Yang Mi thought of that scene, she was so excited that she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

A few people rushed to the end of the line and lined up obediently to buy tickets.

Because this cinema does not have an IMAX theater, there are relatively fewer people and tickets can basically be bought for the nearest show.

But the occupancy rate is too high, so there is no chance of getting a good seat.

When Yang Mi and others arrived at the ticket office, only the front row seats were left for the nearest show.

If you want to choose something else, you have to keep waiting.

"Let's go to the next one, and get a spot in the back! Since we're here to watch, we'll definitely pick the ones with the best results, so we can't afford to waste a little time."

The latter sentence was directed at her little friends. She was already the "big sister" when she was very young and was also given the nickname "little powerful".

Since she said so, everyone naturally had no objection. They all chose seats in the back row of the next show, and then chatted animatedly in the lounge area of ​​the cinema.

After waiting for a long time, the ticket checking started. Yang Mi and her friends entered the theater and sat down. Looking at everything around them, they felt very novel.

The audio-visual effects shown in the film are super shocking.

They were not deeply impressed by the setting of the film's plot, but felt that the action scenes were too exciting, far exceeding any action movies they had seen before. Even Cheng Long's "life-threatening" kung fu comedy seemed a little uninspiring in front of the shocking scenes created by special effects.

On the way back, several people enthusiastically discussed the movie plot and they all thought that "Ghost Gemini" was so cool.

The little boy who looked like Feng Pants said, "Big Mimi, maybe we'll see each other next year. You'll be a big star now. If you become rich, don't forget me!"

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget you!"

……

The secretary of iQiyi Film Company sent a report with the box office data of the first day of release, which was 41.3 million!

It only surpassed the first-day performance of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" by 800,000, and the increase was not big!
The reason is that "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" is Jiang Heng's first film directed and acted by himself, and it also has many celebrity guest appearances, which is indeed very attractive.

"The Matrix 2" achieved such box office results thanks to the reputation of its predecessor and the director.

Although the increase was not large, Jiang Heng was very satisfied.

Because "The Matrix" series of films is not its main battlefield in China, North America, Europe and Japan are its box office strongholds.

Especially in North America, the audiences themselves like science fiction movies. In addition, the style and cast of the film are closer to Hollywood films. It is also a sequel, so of course it will be a box office hit when it opens.

One more thing to mention is that "The Matrix Reloaded" will be released in the Asia-Pacific region on December 2th.

In North America and Europe, December 12 was chosen because "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" was released on the 24th. Both films are the second in the series and are special effects blockbusters with amazing visual effects.

The fact that all these movies were released during the Christmas period made American audiences very happy.

Because each movie is very good, has excellent reputation, and the release dates are staggered by one week, many viewers will of course choose to watch both!
