Chapter 251: The premiere of "Zhu Xian"

At the premiere of "Red Cliff" in Shanghai, Da Tiantian, who was sitting in the back row, stared at the screen and smiled foolishly.

On the big screen, Jin Chengwu, who plays Zhuge Liang, is fanning two pigeons, and Liang Chaowei, who plays Zhou Yu, curiously asks, "What are you doing?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "I just finished bathing the pigeons."

Zhou Yu asked again: "Aren't you afraid that they will catch a cold?"

The audience laughed, while in another scene, Zhuge Liang, played by Jin Chengwu, stared into the distance with Zhou Yu, played by Liang Chaowei, behind him.

Ask: “What are you looking at?”

Zhuge Liang waved his fan: "I need to calm down."

Then, Zhou Yu stood side by side with Zhuge Liang and said, "I need to calm down too."

"Haha!" Da Tiantian was so happy that she was shaking and leaning on Liu Yifei's shoulder. "This is too funny!"

Liu Yifei had a cold expression and asked in surprise: "What's so funny about it?"

“Isn’t it fun?”

Liu Yifei shook her head slightly, "Your sense of humour is too low!"

She actually didn't want to come, but Jing Tian said, come and see how "Red Cliff" is doing, and go back and talk to Jiang Heng about it so that he can have a better idea.

Although Liu Yifei felt that this move was of little use, she still accompanied Jing Tian in the end.

The two did not contact the "Red Cliff" crew, but bought high-priced tickets from scalpers, so their seats were relatively far back, otherwise they would have been able to get a front-row seat to watch the movie.

After the event lasted more than an hour, the two put on their hats and sunglasses and went out with a large number of spectators.

Back in the car, Da Tiantian asked, "What do you think?"

She was still in the stage of watching the movie for fun and couldn't really say whether it was good or bad, so she dragged Liu Yifei along.

"Well, it feels so-so, different from the Three Kingdoms I imagined!"

"What's the difference?"

Liu Yifei thought for a moment, "The Three Kingdoms was an era of war, bloodshed, and cruelty. Cao Cao wrote in his poem that bones were exposed in the wild, and no roosters crowed for a thousand miles. The Three Kingdoms should also be an era full of heroism. Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and General Zhou Yu should not be like that!"

Jing Tian was shocked, "You also know Cao Cao's poems?"

Liu Yifei was also puzzled, "You, don't you usually read books?"

Jing Tian's face turned red with embarrassment. "I have seen it, but I have forgotten it since then. Do you think that film will be popular?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, "I don't know, but I don't like it anyway!"

Jing Tian said: "Actually, I don't like it too much either. We are both normal people, and two normal girls don't like this movie, so this movie shouldn't be too popular!"

Liu Yifei was shocked when she heard this and was speechless for a long time. She had only one thought in her mind: this logic is so fucking powerful!
Before she could say anything, Jing Tian said happily, "Haha, now you can see that Zhu Xian will dominate the summer season!"

Liu Yifei smiled and thought to herself, "Pacific Rim 2 grossed $10 billion worldwide. What did I say?"

The two chatted for a while, went out to eat, and flew back to Beijing in the afternoon.

Jing Tian was an impatient person, and he rushed to the set of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and Liu Yifei followed him.

Normally she shouldn't be so idle, but after Pacific Rim 2, Liu Xiaoli felt that her daughter was already an "international star", so she definitely couldn't film TV series anymore, and she couldn't take on movies with worse scripts or less investment. As a result, Liu Yifei didn't have much to do, and ended up being dragged around by Da Tiantian all the time.

"Brother, we are sure to win this time!" On the set of "Havoc in Heaven", Jing Tian told Jiang Heng, who was sitting behind the monitor, about her experience of watching the premiere of "Red Cliff" and her judgment.

Jiang Heng was a little confused. "Didn't Red Cliff have its premiere in Beijing? Why did you go to Shanghai to watch it?"

Da Tiantian looked embarrassed, "I didn't think of it at first!"

Jiang Heng was speechless. What a rich kid! He treated the plane like a bus!
Then he smiled and said, "You guys are thoughtful!"

Then he said to Jing Tian, ​​"Go back and have a good rest. We have to focus on publicity soon!"

Given Jiang Heng's huge box office appeal at the moment, the concentrated promotion time for the special effects blockbusters produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures is very short.

It is basically concentrated in the ten days or so between the premiere and the release of the film, and it also includes publicity in many places including domestic and foreign.

In China, there is currently only one premiere scheduled in Beijing, which will be held on Sunday, July 7.

Because there were still a few days left, Jing Tian didn't want to leave immediately, and Jiang Heng ignored her and continued filming without mentioning anything else.

Da Tiantian felt bored staying around, so she went out and bought milk tea for the entire crew.

Liu Yifei followed beside, filled with envy.

She didn't lack the money, but she just felt she couldn't do such a thing.

But at night, she paid for a midnight snack for all the main creators. Looking at Yuan De, Yuan Hua and others smiling, she secretly sighed that Jiang Heng was so lucky.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed and it was finally time for the premiere of "Zhu Xian".

The venue for this event was arranged to be the CPPCC Grand Hall. The red carpet walk started at 1 p.m. and the movie started at 2 p.m.

Many book and movie fans arrived early and lined up in the hot sun at noon. There was a long queue at the entrance and it was packed with people.

"Oh my god, there are too many people!"

When many students arrived at the scene, this was their first reaction.

A group of reporters regarded this event as an important "battle".

It was indeed the premiere of Director Jiang's new film. Not only were there many audiences, but there were even more stars and big names, and the number of guests walking the red carpet was almost as large as that of several film festivals in the mainland.

The first people to step onto the red carpet were all of lower status, including Zhao Liying.

She plays the role of "Tian Ling'er" in the film. Her role in the original novel is okay, but in the movie she can only be considered a minor supporting role.

But she is not picky about roles. She is an outsider with no acting experience. She is very satisfied to be able to participate in Jiang Heng's special effects blockbuster and play a supporting role opposite the male lead.

As time goes by, more and more big stars have appeared on the red carpet, including Sammo Hung, Stephen Chow, Ge You, Han Sanping and so on.

Jiang Heng was the last to appear and signed under the huge poster display board. Liu Yan, who had a proud figure and was wearing a dress, called Jiang Heng over.

"Hello, Director Jiang. It's great to see you on the red carpet again. Well, in just over 20 minutes, the film "Zhu Xian" will be shown to the media and audiences who are here. Many of them are fans of the original novel. They have been looking forward to this film for many years. Do you have anything to say to them?"

Jiang Heng took the microphone and smiled, saying, "In fact, I have been looking forward to the movie "Zhu Xian" for many years. It is different from previous mythological blockbusters. For example, in the "Journey to the West" series of movies, Sun Wukong is at the peak of his martial arts when he first appears. Yang Jian in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" also has magical powers since he was a child, and his growth process is just passing by.

But in the movie "Zhu Xian", we will see an ordinary, ordinary boy who grows up little by little into a cultivator with supernatural powers, and a large amount of space is used to show his growth process.

This process can be called a mortal's cultivation of immortality...!"
