Chapter 287: The Three-Body Problem Premiere
Liu Cixin stayed with the crew of "The King's Avatar". When she had nothing to do, she would go to the set to watch the crew filming. Most of the time, she stayed in the hotel to write the third part of "The Three-Body Problem".
Because the narratives of the first two parts are grand and jumpy, the third part is very difficult to write.
Liu Cixin didn't want to give a random ending to get the manuscript fee, so the progress was a bit slow.
Fortunately, neither Jiang Heng nor the publishing house rushed him, so this man who did a lot of writing and revising had a comfortable life.
However, as the domestic promotion and marketing activities for the movie "The Three-Body Problem" were launched one after another, he also started to get busy, attending a series of novel signing events to promote the film.
As for the global release date of "The Three-Body Problem", it is scheduled for Friday, December 12st.
The premiere ceremony for new films in the mainland is scheduled for December 12, about ten days earlier.
The promotion and marketing strategy this time is that after the premiere, the rest of the crew will go to various popular cities across the country to start advance screenings, and Jiang Heng will take Liu Cixin to North America to participate in related promotional activities.
Zhang Jingchu was a little disappointed when she received the news, because she wanted to go to North America to participate in promotional activities so that she would appear more like an international superstar.
But this must be done with Jiang Heng's consent. She didn't have many opportunities to meet Jiang Heng normally, so she thought about waiting for the premiere ceremony to find a chance for a meeting.
On the morning of December 12, Zhang Jingchu wore a very sexy evening dress inside and a thick long down jacket outside. She got into the car and went straight to the ceremony venue.
In the car, the agent complained: "Look at you, you've already finished filming a movie, but you're not familiar with the director. If you tell others about this, no one will believe it!"
Zhang Jingchu complained to herself, "He only has eyes for young people like Jing Tian, Liu Yifei, and Yang Mi. He probably looks down on an old woman like me!"
But in fact, Zhang Jingchu, who was born in 80, is only 28 years old now.
The agent said, "Indeed, Li Meiqi is fine, but Gao Yuanyuan is so pretty, and it seems that she is not very close to Director Jiang. Men are teenagers until they die, and they always like eighteen-year-olds!"
Zhang Jingchu nodded slightly and said nothing more.
I secretly complained about my miserable life. How great it would have been if I had met Jiang Heng when I just debuted!
The car arrived at the event site very quickly. Considering that it was midwinter, the publicity team of "The Three-Body Problem" built many warm sheds at the scene. Even on the side of the red carpet, there were large heaters every few meters.
After getting off the car, Zhang Jingchu took off her down jacket and handed it to her agent, then walked onto the red carpet.
Reporters on one side were taking photos one after another. Some of them thought to themselves that it must be hard to be a star, wearing evening gowns and walking on the red carpet in the middle of winter.
But in order to achieve better promotional effects, there is no other way.
After signing her name under the giant poster display board, Zhang Jingchu, who was shivering from the cold, simply answered a few questions from the host and then quickly walked down the red carpet.
The agent had already reached the other side and hurriedly put the down jacket on her.
"Are you freezing?"
"Fortunately, those large heaters are quite useful. Without them, I would have frozen to death!"
"Without those, we can't wear evening gowns! Did you go change clothes?"
"Farewell, just wait for Director Jiang dressed like this, or you'll be freezing in vain!"
The agent thought about it and stopped persuading him.
The two walked into the venue, and soon they saw Jing Tian walking towards them, wearing a formal dress and a shawl.
"Wow, Sister Jingchu, aren't you cold wearing this?"
Zhang Jingchu rolled her eyes at Jing Tian and thought to herself, what nonsense! Who is like you? Wearing a shawl while walking on the red carpet is simply cheating.
"How can it not be cold? But for the promotion of the film, there is nothing I can do!"
Jing Tian said: "You can wear long johns and snow boots underneath, it's very warm, so I wore them!"
Zhang Jingchu became even more speechless after hearing this.
Wearing long johns under the dress, well, it does sound warmer.
But she pursued perfection and didn't add it.
"You're smart, huh?"
"Of course, I also brought a hot pack, do you want one?" Zhang Jingchu took a deep breath, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll change my clothes later!"
Seeing this, Jing Tian stopped talking nonsense and went to change his clothes without saying anything else.
However, Zhang Jingchu waited for a long time before she saw Jiang Heng approaching the door in a very well-fitting suit. She quickly took off her down jacket and went to greet him.
"Congratulations, Director Jiang. The Three-Body Problem is finally going to be released. I believe it will definitely achieve good box office results!"
Jiang Heng was startled and glanced at Zhang Jingchu's evening gown. "Why are you wearing so little? Don't you have something thick to wear?"
"Well, I picked this one just because I wanted it to look good during filming! I wanted you to help me see how it works. If I wear it abroad, will it not embarrass the crew?"
Jiang Heng said hurriedly: "It looks great, why are you embarrassed!"
Zhang Jingchu was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? Then can I go abroad with you?"
Jiang Heng smiled and thought, is it necessary to go to so much trouble for such a small matter?
However, since people have done this, it’s hard to refuse.
Since it wasn't a big deal, I agreed.
Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Jiang!"
"Well, go change your clothes first, don't freeze!"
"Ok!"
Not to mention Zhang Jingchu's departure, Jiang Heng came to the guest seats and greeted the guests present.
While they were chatting, they saw Jiang Wen coming over.
He was wearing a white suit and a white hat, just like Zhang Mazi in Let the Bullets Fly.
"Your outfit is quite unique!" Jiang Heng looked at it and said with a smile.
"Not bad, I think it's pretty good too!"
After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he opened his hands slightly and turned them around.
"Let me tell you, the filming of Let the Bullets Fly is so exciting. It would be a shame if you didn't come!"
Before the filming started, Jiang Wen suggested that Jiang Heng make a cameo appearance as Hu Wan, Huang Silang's close confidant, the role played by Chen Kun.
Jiang Heng naturally refused. Firstly, he didn't want to play Zhou Runfa's subordinate, and secondly, he didn't want to affect the integrity of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", so he found a reason and refused.
Jiang Wen was somewhat unhappy about this, but fortunately Jiang Heng promised to make a cameo appearance in one of his movies in the future, and the matter was finally put to rest.
But this time, when he attended the premiere of "The Three-Body Problem", he actually looked like Zhang Mazi, obviously he had some ideas!
"I see. You look like you're not acting properly!"
Jiang Wen was puzzled, "How do you know that I am dressed as Zhang Muzhi?"
Jiang Heng said: "Although I have never been to the filming set, I have heard you describe what kind of person Zhang Muzhi should be. He looks exactly like him!"
"Hey, I should have insisted a little longer and brought you into the crew!"
Jiang Heng smiled, "Now, the completion of the film is also very good!"
"That's right. I am very satisfied. As for the schedule, it will be scheduled for next summer!"
Hearing this, Jiang Heng couldn't help but say, "Well, my 3D version of 'Havoc in Heaven' is going to be released next summer!"
He said this not because he was afraid of competition between the two, but mainly because he was afraid of "accidentally hurting" "Let the Bullets Fly".
After all, as the world's first 3D blockbuster with top special effects, it is estimated that the box office will be very strong.
Jiang Wen knew a little about 3D and was also aware of Jiang Heng's level of special effects production. He was stunned when he heard this and said quickly, "Then we should really distance our two movies a little bit!"
