Chapter 229 The Monster Returns
From Hong Kong, Sammo Hung, Stephen Chow and others came to show their support.
The former has not worked much in recent years, mainly because he is getting older and his health is not as good as before, so he spends more time recuperating.
Zhou Xingxing was busy with the post-production of "CJ7". Since the special effects order was given to the Good Time Special Effects Company, he had been in Beijing during this period and came here.
Seeing Jiang Heng coming over, he stood up and shook hands with him. "Congratulations, another blockbuster movie is coming out. I saw in the newspaper that it is expected to win the global box office championship this year?"
Jiang Heng smiled, "At the moment, there is indeed a lot of hope. We will have to wait until the movie is released to find out the specific box office performance!"
Originally in history, the highest-grossing film in the global film market in 05 was "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", with a global box office of 8.96 million US dollars.
If Pacific Rim 2 can surpass its predecessor, it will naturally be the global box office champion this year, so Jiang Heng is really looking forward to it.
Although the box office in the mainland market will get higher and higher in the future, it is hard to say how the box office will perform in the global market due to the subject matter. This is the time when we have the greatest hope.
After greeting the guests, Jiang Heng took his seat.
Jing Tian in the back row was curious and leaned over to say, "Brother, there should be a third part of your movie, right?"
Jiang Heng was stunned. "Normally speaking, there will be some!"
For commercial series movies, as long as there is room for the plot to be developed and the word of mouth and box office are not bad, there will definitely be a sequel.
The story of the previous "Matrix" trilogy has clearly been told.
But because of its good reputation and box office, a fourth film was made, which failed miserably in terms of reputation and box office, which marked the end of the series.
The Transformers series has been making money so much that it has already reached its seventh installment.
To be honest, in the later part, various robots were fighting with each other, which was so dazzling that people couldn't tell who was hitting who if they were not careful. Naturally, the reputation of the robots continued to decline.
But as for capital, making money is not shameful!
This is only the second film in the Pacific Rim series, and at worst it will be a trilogy.
When Jing Tian heard that there would be a sequel, he leaned closer and whispered in Jiang Heng's ear: "Then, can you let me act in it?"
Jiang Heng felt a breath blowing past his ears, and his heart felt itchy. He agreed without knowing why, "Okay!"
"Brother is so kind!"
Da Tiantian was overjoyed. She leaned back and sat back happily.
Yang Mi, who was standing by, heard it carefully and was filled with envy.
But she didn't have the courage to say that to Jiang Heng.
Jing Tian's acting skills aside, she has the capital to pay real money. If she had that kind of resources, why would she still be stuck in the TV drama circle?
Thinking of this, Chong Jingtian whispered, "Congratulations, you're starring in another blockbuster movie!"
Da Tiantian smiled innocently, turned her head and whispered to Yang Mi, "Actually, I'm not interested in filming. I just like listening to Director Jiang explain the play to me!"
When Yang Mi heard this, she felt like she was hit hard. It's really true that comparing yourself with others will make you feel choked!
With a wry smile, "Then you might as well ask Director Jiang if he's interested in opening an acting training class. You can pay more!"
Da Tiantian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she murmured, "That's a good idea, Mimi, you're so nice!"
After saying that, he kissed Yang Mi on the face.
The latter was dumbfounded. She was clearly joking, so why did he take it seriously?
Then he said, "Well, if there are any supporting roles in the future, remember to help me get them?"
"No problem, I'll cover it!"
While the two girls were talking, the premiere ceremony finally began.
It was still CCTV-1 host Tu Jingwei who took the stage and first reviewed the huge impact that "Pacific Rim " had on the global film market when it was released.
As the world's first mecha blockbuster, it shocked the audiences at that time, no less than "Jurassic Park" in 93. Now, a few years have passed, and although "Transformers" of the same type has been released, the audiences in the global film market still miss "Pacific Rim 1" very much and look forward to its sequel.
The guests and audiences attending the premiere ceremony were eagerly waiting to see the feature film for the first time.
So whether it was Tu Jingwei or Jiang Heng, their speeches were very short, and then it was time for the main film to be played.
After the dragon logo appeared on the big screen, the opening animations of iQiyi, Youku, Tencent Pictures, China Film Group, and Columbia Pictures played in turn, and then the screen went dark again.
The sound of sea waves came from the speakers in the conference hall.
First, there were dots of light on the big screen, and then when the camera zoomed in, it was revealed that it was a small seaside town.
On the streets, pedestrians are walking hurriedly, and the shops on both sides are all written in Japanese, but it turns out to be a small Japanese coastal town.
"Is the monster coming?"
"Look at the situation, yes!"
"This girl is pretty!"
On the big screen, a girl in JK was walking briskly on the street, looking very happy.
The role is played by Japanese actress Ayase Yao, who is only 20 years old this year. She has only appeared in a few TV series. She is not very famous and her pay is not high.
Originally in history, she starred in "My Robot Girlfriend" and had a good performance in the film.
In this drama, Ayase Yao can only be considered a supporting role.
When she passed a coastal avenue, she suddenly stopped and looked at the sea in the distance with a puzzled look on her face. A huge black shadow was approaching the shore.
Soon its true appearance was revealed. It was a pitch-black, huge monster that was hundreds of meters tall.
Compared with this monster, Ayase Yao is as small as an insect.
The girl seemed frightened at first, then she screamed and turned and ran away.
A stunned man nearby was attracted by Ayase Yao's scream and actually ran over to see what was happening. He then felt the earth shaking.
When he turned around, he saw a pair of giant beast claws more than ten meters long and three meters wide falling from the sky and crushing him to death.
"Wow, what a tragic death!" Guo Degang, who also attended the premiere, couldn't help but say something.
Teacher Yu Qian said: "It's also a waste!"
On the big screen, the monsters have gone crazy.
It is hundreds of meters tall, almost as high as more than thirty buildings.
There are no skyscrapers in this coastal town, and a dozen floors is considered tall.
So the monster could knock down large buildings with a wave of its claws, a charge of its body, and a sweep of its tail.
The people of the city fled in all directions, running away from the seaside, while the government contacted the army and the mecha base.
Soon, the first to arrive were the military.
Unfortunately, the weapons in their hands could only tickle the monsters but could not hurt them at all, causing the monsters to kill many people.
Next, it was the Japanese mecha "Tango Wolf II", also a giant mecha over 100 meters high, that fought with the monster.
Unexpectedly, the monster was lying in ambush. Suddenly, a taller and bigger one emerged from the darkness and knocked "Tango Wolf Second Generation" down with a slap.
The first monster that came out came forward to finish off the enemy, and stomped hard on the cockpit of the "Tango Wolf II" mecha, directly exploding it.
Japanese mecha, dead!
