Chapter 84 The Wanderer

Chapter 84 The Wanderer
Jiang Heng is tall and wearing a loose padded shoulder suit, he looks more energetic and energetic.

While greeting Xu Ke and Zhang Weiping, Zhang Yimou also came over.

"Congratulations, Director Jiang. This premiere should be the biggest event in the Chinese film industry this year!"

Zhang Yimou just doesn't talk much and is unwilling to speak, not that he can't speak.

But if you say it, the effect will be better than those who are used to bragging.

Jiang Heng was very happy, but he had to pretend to be modest: "Director Zhang, you are too kind, too kind!"

Zhang Yimou said, "Hey, you are a leader in Chinese commercial films, you deserve it, you deserve it!"

Jiang Heng smiled, exchanged a few words modestly, and arranged for staff to take the three of them to their seats.

Jiang Heng suddenly heard a burst of fluent English. He looked up and saw a short American man with a round face.

Jiang Heng replied: "Mr. Tang Murphy, I didn't expect you to come all the way here. Welcome, welcome!"

Don Murphy thought to himself, if I didn't want to see what the mecha you photographed looks like and use it as a reference, would I have come all the way across the ocean?
But he said: "The release of Pacific Rim is a grand event for the global film market. I have loved mechas since I was a child, so I have to see it first!"

The two had never met before, and the invitation letter was obtained through inter-company contacts. There was nothing more to say, so they were sent to take a seat early.

That afternoon, Jiang Heng welcomed nearly a hundred guests at the guest entrance of the temporary theater, which was indeed quite tiring.

As for the entire premiere, it was an unprecedented event with so many filmmakers from the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Hollywood coming to attend.

There were thousands of film creators, guests, media reporters and ordinary audiences in the venue. After they were all seated, the place was packed and everyone was excited.

Especially the staff of IMAX, because this premiere event is the company's first commercial debut.

In order to achieve the cooperation, IMAX company traveled across the ocean to build this temporary big screen at a price below cost.

They also agreed to rebuild five IMAX theaters for the China Film Red Cinema Chain at cost price.

In short, IMAX has put a lot of effort into this event, and if it is a success, it will make a lot of money, and we can open the champagne together.

If the response is not good, it will not only be a matter of losing money, but the company's business prospects will also be affected.

So before the premiere, the company vice president who led the team asked the project manager to check repeatedly to ensure that there were no mistakes.

At six o'clock in the evening, the global premiere of "Pacific Rim" officially began, and the beautiful host Yao Miao of CCTV Film Channel took the stage.

After a few simple opening remarks, he invited Jiang Heng to the stage.

"Wow, I never thought that the director of the highest grossing commercial film in China would be so handsome!"

Jiang Heng smiled, a little shyly, "You are beautiful too!"

"Really?" Yao Miao pretended to be shy, "As beautiful as your girlfriend?"

"Uh, no girlfriend yet!"

"Wow……!"

You could clearly hear the low sighs from the girls in the audience; they were genuinely shocked.

Naturally, the outside world has no idea how much personal wealth Jiang Heng has.

But on forums like Mop and Tianya, there are always fans discussing, analyzing and calculating the profits he earned from several movies.

A more widely recognized statistic is that Jiang Heng’s current personal assets are likely to have already exceeded the 300 million US dollar mark.

Converted into RMB, that’s more than 2 billion!
It was more than 2001 billion in , a true super rich man, so naturally he has the charm of "being approachable with billions".

She didn’t know how the girls in the audience felt, but Yao Miao felt her face was blushing, her heart was beating fast, and she felt like she was going to dizzy.

She made a few jokes, but when she left the stage, she couldn't remember what she said at the end. Just as she was about to recall, the lights in the theater went out, the big screen lit up, and after the dragon logo, there were the opening animations of China Film, iQiyi, Tencent Video, and Columbia Pictures, and then the main film segment began.

"When I was a kid, whenever I felt small or lonely, I would look up at the stars. I wondered if there was life there too...!"

The protagonist's voice suddenly sounded, and the big screen showed a deep, dark space.

The camera moves forward quickly, flashing across several planets one after another, showing their respective styles at the same time.

These planets are inspired by "Asgard", "The Void", "Vormir" in the Avengers, and "Pandora" in Avatar.

Although the shots of each planet appearing were very brief, they gave the audience a great shock.

“Oh my god, these planets are so cool!”

"Is it really a mecha fighting monsters? It would be great to watch a Star Wars movie!"

"I'm already looking forward to Director Jiang's next film!"

While the audience was shocked, the camera had already moved forward to the monster's planet. The main colors were dark and red, and blue lightning burst out from time to time, as if foreshadowing the bloodiness and ugliness here.

The protagonist's lines quickly explain the background. These monsters invade the earth from the depths of the ocean through a wormhole in space and time.

Then came the scene when the protagonist was 15 years old, when monsters invaded San Francisco and destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge.

Although it was only shot for a dozen seconds, the effect presented on the screen was extremely realistic.

Especially some Japanese working in Beijing, they couldn't help but whispered: "Skye!"

On the screen, the plot continues to advance rapidly, depicting the tragic scene of the Battle of San Francisco.

Next is the monster attacking Tokyo Bay. The scene here is a bit long and the destructive effects are extremely tragic, which makes the audience feel deeply moved.

After explaining several monster attacks, the story begins about how human countries join forces to build mechas, using neural connections to control them, and how they are so powerful that one person cannot handle them and must be controlled by two people.

It can be said that the content explained in the short first three to five minutes is very complicated.

Fortunately, every frame is very real, which can convince the audience.

Then, the pilots of the "Wanderer" played by Wu Yizu and Xie Tingfeng appeared on the stage. Their handsome faces and strong muscles made the female audience present exclaim in low voices.

But what made the boys scream was the Wanderer mecha that looked heavy, real and extremely tall.

"The driving suits and armor they are wearing look so cool!"

“It’s full of texture!”

"So real! Notice the wear and tear on the helmet? They've worn it so many times!"

"In one word, handsome!"

When the large cockpit that the male protagonist was riding in fell rapidly and connected with the equipment below, the audience discovered that what was airdropped was actually the head of a mecha.

"Fuck, this is the real king of connections!"

"Awesome, awesome, awesome!" A boy with long hair, who looked like Yin Zheng in "Speeding Life", couldn't help but pat the chair and exclaimed.

On the screen, the camera moves from bottom to top, with panoramic and close-up shots showing the power of the Wanderer, which makes the audience feel excited.

When the mecha pilots played by Wu Yizu and Xie Tingfeng waved their arms and made the huge Wanderer clasp its hands, the audience was stunned.

I just feel that this action is extremely handsome, and the only way to describe it is the word "explosive".

"This is the real fist hug, my friend!"
