Chapter 384 North American Premiere

Chapter 384 North American Premiere
On January 1, the premiere event of "Under One Person" was held in Los Angeles.

Although most of the film's main creators stayed in China, there were many stars attending the premiere, and several of them were even first-line stars.

For example, Robert Downey Jr. had previously contacted Jiang Heng for the casting of "Little Soldier Legend".

But because the pay was too high and he didn't want to play a villain, the cooperation did not go through.

But the conversation went well, and both parties expressed that there was a suitable opportunity to work together.

Nowadays, it is widely rumored in the industry that several companies, led by Sony Pictures, are preparing to jointly invest 500 million US dollars to make a special effects blockbuster about the battle between Earth civilization and alien invaders, and they want to invite Jiang Heng to direct it.

Just for this, Robert Downey Jr. has to come.

In addition to him, Megan Fox, Tom Hiddleston, Johnny Depp and others were also present.

As for the less famous second- and third-tier actors, there are even more of them. After all, it is sponsored by Columbia Pictures. Even if these people have nothing to do with Jiang Heng, they can find ways to get in through Columbia.

In front of the huge movie poster of "Under One Person", many hot beauties took photos one after another.

More female stars drove over in beautiful sports cars, walked on the red carpet in beautiful dresses, took photos, signed autographs with fans, and then came up to Jiang Heng to chat.

At this moment, no actor would look down on Jiang Heng or feel an inexplicable sense of superiority just because he is Chinese.

Because even James Cameron has never made a film with a total investment of 500 million US dollars, let alone Jiang Heng's success.

Hollywood is such a realistic place. If you succeed, people will come to praise you.

I'm sorry if you fail, but there is no sympathy for the weak here.

Therefore, these beautiful female stars do not think there is anything wrong in pleasing a Chinese man.

Instead, she envied Jiang Heng's female companion Megan Fox, and secretly hated this little girl's luck for being able to be with someone as powerful as Jiang Heng.

"Oh dear, if looks could kill, I don't think I'll be walking out of this alive today!"

Megan Fox looked proudly at the female stars in the distance and said to Jiang Heng with a smile.

"So, you're happy?"

"Of course, I just like their jealous expressions. To be honest, it makes me happier than receiving an award!"

Jiang Heng laughed and said nothing.

Because the event was so busy, in addition to dealing with the many stars, producers, directors and film company executives who came to show their support, the media reporters could not be neglected either.

In fact, these people are not very interested in "Under One Person" because judging from the genre of the film, it is a bit like the mutants in "X-Men", or it can be said to be the Chinese version of "superheroes".

For films like this, North American audiences just watch them for novelty, and they will never be able to experience the same shock as "The Legend of Little Soldiers", "The King's Avatar", or "The Three-Body Problem".

What the reporters are more concerned about is the so-called new film worth 500 million US dollars.

"Director Jiang Heng, I heard that you are interested in co-producing a science fiction war movie with Sony Pictures and other companies with a total investment of up to 500 million (US dollars). Is that true?"

"Yes, that's true. We were still negotiating it not long ago!"

"Wow!"

"Ouch!"

The reporters couldn't help but sigh, and then asked: "So, has the cooperation intention been reached? When will the film start shooting? Has the script been finalized? Is it filmed in Hollywood?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "You asked so many questions at once, I have to answer them one by one!
Well, the initial cooperation intention has been reached. As for the filming, I am afraid it will have to wait until the summer. The script is still being revised. As for where to shoot, it depends on the final script. " "Wow!"

The reporters sighed again and felt a little excited when they thought about it.

He is known as the world's most powerful commercial film director and the undisputed world number one in the field of science fiction and war. With a total investment of 500 million US dollars and the powerful strength of the Hollywood film industry, reporters feel excited just thinking about it.

It is expected that this movie will achieve good box office results and may even surpass "The Legend of Little Soldiers"!

"Then, Director Jiang Heng, do you plan to shift your work focus to Hollywood? After all, you have a company here, so you can be considered a member of Hollywood!"

Jiang Heng does have a film company and a special effects company in North America, but they are not very large and their capabilities are very limited.

"For now, I'm not considering it, because there are still too many subjects that I haven't finished filming. I don't think I will shift my focus to this in the next 20 or 30 years!"

The media reporters were stunned when they heard this, because what Jiang Heng said was too blunt.

According to the usual practice in the entertainment industry, you should at least say that you like Hollywood very much and want to shift your work focus there, but you are having some problems now.

Jiang Heng is so nice, that's not polite at all!
Fortunately, people with absolute strength can be "forgiven".

A reporter on the spot said that Director Jiang Heng has always been thinking about the film industry in his country and he is truly a person worthy of admiration.

After saying that, he applauded.

The others also applauded, making Jiang Heng look like a hero.

After the interview, it was time to officially watch the film.

In the film "Under One Person", Jiang Heng's plot is smooth and the visual effects are shocking and gorgeous, which is much better than the previous film and television version.

What attracts the audience's attention even more is the portrayal of the heroine Feng Baobao, whether it is her cute personality, intermittent wit, or her appearance and fighting power, all have been enhanced.

Even in terms of Feng Baobao's eyes, Jiang Heng felt that Liu Yifei's performance was a little off, so he used a "super microscopic computer" to edit it frame by frame.

So much so that Liu Yifei was stunned when she watched the movie at the company's internal preview, and asked Jiang Heng in confusion, was the Feng Baobao on the big screen really played by herself?

Jiang Hengze smiled and said, Of course, are you so tired that you forgot?
In Hollywood, guests and reporters who attended the premiere were full of praise for Liu Yifei's performance.

I think the character portrayed by Feng Baobao is so brilliant, very special.

As for the film's story and fighting style, they think it is similar to Marvel's superhero movies, and slightly superior overall.

The reviews of "Under One" by a number of Hollywood media are relatively positive and objective, and it is expected that the box office will not be too bad after the film is officially released.

Of course, it is unlikely to be a box office hit as the subject matter is inherently limited.

However, after the premiere in Hollywood, Jiang Heng received a call from Du Huan.

"Director Jiang, when are you planning to come back?"

"Well, wait a few more days!"

"No, Director Jiang, please come back soon. I really can't take it anymore. So many calls a day!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "It's not that exaggerated!"

"Exaggerated! I'm putting it mildly. You're in Hollywood, so you probably don't have time to read the domestic news. Tieba and forums are going crazy, with all the voices asking you to return home!"
