Chapter 235 Media Praise
Jing Tian was very envious after hearing this, and she also wanted to go out and play with them, but she had no legitimate reason.

He glanced at Liu Yifei who was standing next to him and asked, "Aren't you going out with us?"

Liu Yifei shook her head: "Director Jiang didn't say that!"

Jing Tian wondered, "Aren't you the heroine?"

"Maybe they think that I'm not famous internationally, so it's useless for me to go!" Liu Yifei said lightly.

Megan smiled and said, "It's tiring to take a long flight. He must be taking pictures of you getting tired!"

Liu Yifei looked at Megan deeply and said, "I am never afraid of hard work!"

Megan smiled enthusiastically, "It's a beautiful quality, but it's useless in the entertainment industry because extras have it harder."

Liu Yifei nodded, "That's right, but Director Jiang's heart is in the mainland. He went to Hollywood just for fun and will be back in a few days!"

When Megan heard this, she was instantly unhappy and took a big bite of the beef.

Liu Yifei didn't care and continued to eat elegantly.

In fact, she never considered Megan as a rival, but her best friend Jing Tian and good friend Tang Yan were more threatening.

There is also Yang Mi, but she values ​​her career more and is busy filming everywhere. The threat seems to be much smaller, but you still have to be on guard against her. It's really tiring just thinking about it.

The dinner ended and the guests left.

Several girls stared at Megan, fearing that she would pounce on Jiang Heng in the next second.

The latter was a little proud, "I'm really too tired today, let me go back to sleep. When we get to Hollywood, I will treat Director Jiang well!" After saying that, she turned around and left, twisting her slender waist.

Several girls looked at Megan's departing back with expressions of disdain and a little envy.

As one line says, "I wish I could be as cool as you!"

None of them could walk with such charming steps.

"She is so arrogant?" Tang Yan couldn't help but say, and Jing Tian and Liu Yifei nodded subconsciously.

Tang Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw the two people's expressions and movements were synchronized. "How about we go out for more drinks?"

"Okay, okay!" Da Tiantian said happily.

The three beauties went to a different hotpot restaurant, but didn't eat much. They just drank some wine and chatted.

Jing Tian said, "What do you think about us going out together and suddenly appearing at the premiere in Hollywood?"

Liu Yifei hurriedly shook her head, "Not very good?"

"Why? It's so fun. It will definitely scare him a lot. Haha!"

Tang Yan looked at him with a "child-loving" look, "But if you do that, your second brother will be angry, unless you don't care whether he is angry or not!"

"I traveled thousands of miles to see him, and he still got angry. How heartless!" Jing Tian pouted slightly.

Liu Yifei said calmly: "It is indeed a bit heartless, it is better to turn a blind eye to it!"

"What are you talking about? Why does it sound weird?" Da Tiantian looked puzzled.

Tang Yan smiled but said nothing. Although she likes to play the role of a "silly and sweet girl", she is not really a "silly and sweet girl".

I don’t know if Da Tiantian is really so naive or just pretending to be stupid!

But the next day, hundreds of domestic media reported that Pacific Rim 2 held its premiere in Beijing.

Among them, CCTV-6 Movie Channel even recorded a program called "Premiere".

The film shows the entire process of many celebrity guests walking the red carpet at the premiere, as well as video footage of Jiang Heng and the film's main creative staff being interviewed, and a two-and-a-half-minute final trailer.

The "Storm Red" and "Explorer" in the trailer appear extremely shocking and domineering, and the monsters that appear in the trailer also look huge and full of oppression.

The film also includes shocking scenes such as the monster spraying blue acid, the mecha being knocked down by the monster, the more than ten-story building being easily knocked down, drones flying all over the sky, and robot dogs everywhere. Coupled with the exciting soundtrack, just the ultimate trailer has made countless viewers excited and eager to go to the theater to watch the movie immediately.

The "Premiere" column praised "Pacific Rim 2" for surpassing its predecessor in all aspects, and believed that it would achieve amazing box office results.

Many domestic print media used titles such as "The world's first Chinese-language film to gross $10 billion is about to be born," half-praising and half-predicting the market performance of "Pacific Rim 2" after its release.

From the influence of the film's predecessor to the upgraded visual effects, from the cast to the analysis of rivals in the same period, the whole meaning is one: "Pacific Rim 2" will create a new box office myth.

Many media outlets believe that Jiang Heng’s plan to set up a “director training class” to recruit young directors to learn special effects shooting is an attempt to create China’s own “Hollywood”.

Chinese-language films are on the rise.

The overwhelming praise and publicity made Wang Zhonglei feel disappointed.

Because some not-so-polite media outlets bluntly stated that "A Chinese Odyssey: Part Two: The Golden Circle" was just a poor imitation of a previous film and its quality was definitely not that good.

And he wrote in the article: Although I haven't seen this movie yet, the quality of this film can be imagined from the shoddy production style of most Hong Kong directors.

Another thing I want to say is that the Chinese film market is no longer what it used to be. We have seen Director Jiang Heng's super high-quality special effects blockbusters and well-made Hollywood movies. I would like to advise some Hong Kong production teams that the days of making a shoddy movie and selling sentiments to make money are really gone.

If you don’t believe it, the market will make you believe it!

After putting down the newspaper, Wang Zhonglei suddenly felt a toothache. Why did he trust these people so blindly and invest money in them?

He's going to compete with Jiang Heng in the same schedule. Even if they really compete on the same day, only Zhang Yimou and Zhou Xingxing are qualified!
Wang Zhonglei thought for a while and called Wang Zhongjun.

The latter was silent for a while and said, "Now that things have come to this, let's wait and see. Fortunately, the investment is not much, so even if there is a loss, it won't be much. If it is withdrawn at the last minute and publicized by the media, it will be too embarrassing.

In the entertainment industry, face is sometimes more important than money!"

"All right!"

Wang Zhonglei sighed, "Then let's fight in the same time slot. After all, we are the first in the country who dare to fight with Jiang Heng in the same time slot!"

Wang Zhongjun laughed: "This title is not easy to come by, but it may cost money!"

However, when the "Wang brothers" were not optimistic about the box office performance of "A Chinese Odyssey", Hong Kong's British studio boss Yang Shoucheng and famous director Liu Zhenwei still maintained optimistic box office expectations for the film.

How to say it, the thinking of many Hong Kong filmmakers is conservative and rigid, they cannot keep up with the market, and they show blind confidence in the "routines" that once created box office miracles.

Liu Zhenwei now talked to Yang Shoucheng very confidently, saying that "A Chinese Odyssey" was made entirely according to the preferences of young people in mainland China, using the formula of "A Chinese Odyssey" to create a classic love movie with a "post-modernist" style.

Yang Shoucheng really believed this. After all, he knew that "A Chinese Odyssey" was very popular in mainland China, and he also knew that "Titanic" won the global box office championship with its tragic love and shocking special effects.

Therefore, in his opinion, the two selling points of love and special effects are invincible when added together, and they can also compete with each other if they only have one.

The love story in "A Chinese Odyssey" is a classic, and the scenes are at least as good as "A Chinese Odyssey", so the box office will definitely not be bad.

While they were chatting happily, Liu Zhenwei's cell phone suddenly rang.

I picked it up and saw it was a call from Zhou Xingxing.

"Ah Xing, he called me, he must be congratulating me in advance!"

Liu Zhenwei picked up the phone with a smile, and heard the other end say, "Well, I've been thinking about it for most of the night, and I think as a friend I still need to say this, 'A Chinese Odyssey' is no match for this, it's best to withdraw it from the schedule!"

When Liu Zhenwei heard this, his expression froze instantly, because with Zhou Xingxing's personality, it was difficult for him to say this.

To be able to say this, it seems that you are very pessimistic.

Liu Zhenwei wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start.

As an old friend and comrade who experienced the box office failure of "A Chinese Odyssey", he showed the finished film of "Crazy Journey to the West" to Stephen Chow and naturally they made a comparison.

Liu Zhenwei paused for several seconds before slowly saying, "Okay, I understand!"
