China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

On the evening of the 1st, the premiere of "Pacific Rim" was held in the theater of Xingchen's new headquarters building in Beijing.

Today is Party Founding Day, so the Cultural Palace and the Great Hall are not in use.

But compared to those places, it is obviously more suitable to place it in the new Xingchen Building.

The overall building area of ​​the entire building complex is 110,000 square meters, which is neither large nor small.

It consists of a 32-story single office building and a large shopping mall on the ground floor. It took three years to complete.

Named Star Center, it is now ready for occupancy.

The shopping mall's investment recruitment work has basically been completed. It will be fully opened after the premiere. On August 8, Xingchen Company will officially move into the office building.

There are 32 floors in total, and the upper 22 floors will be used by Xingchen himself.

The office building adopts an irregular structure and looks like an obsidian stone from a distance. It will become another landmark in the Dongdan area.

Having said that, the premiere was a blast.

The pre-sale box office is close to 300 million. It has achieved great success in North America, and its own shopping mall is about to open, so it must be lively.

At 3 o'clock, the premiere process began.

On the red carpet that was rolled out, the entry process of celebrities was similar to that of an international film festival.

First the little guy, then the big guy.

Lu Ping An did not invite many celebrities this time. The main reason is that although the IMAX hall here is large, in order to ensure the viewing effect, there are only 360 seats in one hall.

There are not many places, but there is no shortage of excitement.

Because all the other 15 halls are open for ticket sales.

So tonight is a large-scale red carpet show for the public.

Therefore, celebrities who are lucky enough to get invitations will look very good in front of so many movie fans.

Of course, Lu Pingan's stars are indispensable among them.

For example, a group of people from Tang Dynasty are very arrogant today.

As soon as Hu Ge appeared, a bunch of little girls howled.

I am excited to see my idol, and I am proud that my idol can appear on such an occasion.

There were also old friends such as Jay Clen and Guorong who came to support us.

Of course, the most watched star tonight is not Guorong and others, but Liu Qianqian.

"Huan Tai" was a success in the United States. Although Liu Qianqian's popularity in the United States was not fully developed, she was only vaguely familiar.

But it's different in the country.

The heroine of an international blockbuster.

With such a name, Liu Qianqian is directly an international celebrity.

Of course, if you want people to think that she is not "morally unworthy," you have to watch her performance in the final movie.

But that doesn't stop her from being the center of attention now.

So when Liu Qianqian and Matt Damon, who were equally tall, walked hand in hand on the red carpet, those Liu Qianqian fans almost lacked oxygen because they shouted too hard.

Lu Ping'an's appearance is as simple as ever.

Although he now has a lot of fans and a lot of screams, as the director's boss, he will not appear alone, but will go together with the leaders who came today.

After the red carpet is over and we enter the infield, it's still the same process. We chat casually with various big shots and juniors, but we won't talk about anything serious. We'll talk about the serious stuff only after the premiere.

The premiere begins soon.

Dong Qing, Sa Beining and Little Black Fatty formed a mixed hosting group, with Jay Chou, Dao Lang, Joker Xue, Li Yuchun and others singing.

Finally, Lu Ping'an came on stage and said his iconic opening line: "No more nonsense, let's start watching the movie."

After he walked off the stage neatly and sat down next to Liu Qianqian, the lights in the theater dimmed and the 22-meter-wide and 16-meter-high big screen began to light up.

At this time, Huayi and everyone present were surprised. The screen was bigger than that in "Batman 1"!

And after the credits passed, the movie started.

When the big screen officially came on, everyone's attention was drawn to the movie.

At this time, only the title sequence was playing on the big screen.

That is the opening sequence of Star Film and Television’s iconic “Hand in the Stars”.

Many viewers who had never seen 3D were immediately surprised.

Those who have seen ordinary 3D are once again shocked by the effect of IMAX.

In front of them, that hand and those galaxies were really as if they were right in front of them.

So no wonder the ticket price for IMAX3D is 120!

Soon, after the opening credits, the movie enters the main sequence.

At first, the screen was black, with only low and depressing background music playing.

Then the narration begins:

"When I was little, whenever I felt lonely and small, I would look up at the stars and wonder if there were aliens there."

"It turns out that I looked in the wrong direction. Aliens entered our world from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean."

"In the gap between the two plates, a channel is created that connects two different dimensions, forming a crossing."

A few simple sentences explain most of the world background.

Aliens invade from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

At this time, a dimensional channel with blue arcs also appeared on the screen.

Under 3D vision, this channel looks so real.

The narration continues:

“I was fifteen years old when the first monster landed in San Francisco.”

The narration ends.

The next scene was a scene that gave movie fans a huge shock.

Roar~

With a beast roar.

Giant monster claws pierce the San Francisco Bridge.

The pressure from the giant object made everyone's anus tighten at this moment.

In the next shot, a terrifying and ferocious monster destroyed the bridge, causing the cars on the bridge to fall into the sea.

It was at this moment, from an upward perspective, that the car that fell into the sea from the bridge was quickly zoomed in on the big screen, and soon the audience could only see the frightened face in the front windshield, and the car It also seems to be rushing out of the screen.

And this scene is accompanied by the giant screen 3D effect, and the impact is even greater.

A small 3D window-breaking trick caused at least half of the 360 ​​people at the scene to almost move their butts and run away just now.

That was scary.

"Fuck!"

"Scared me!"

"I almost spilled the Coke."

"With this shot alone, the box office of this movie will not be lower!"

"..."

The opening scene is less than a minute old.

The star special effects gave a satisfactory answer and received a "fuck" sound.

The film continues by explaining the background first.

The San Francisco Bridge was destroyed by the first invading monster.

The huge monster took the U.S. military six days to deal with it. During this period, three cities were destroyed, tens of thousands of people died, and the monster's blood was also contaminated, which showed how powerful the monster was.

Only six months after the first monster invaded, the second monster came.

The second one hit Manila, then the third hit Chicago, then the fourth and fifth.

Only then did humans understand that the monster invasion would not stop, and this was just the beginning.

Therefore, mankind needs new weapons.

In this scene, attentive fans discovered the little easter egg.

That is the appearance of the military officer played by Yan Danchen in "Source Code"!

So this is the story after "Source Code"?

Without thinking much, the movie continues.

Countries have since united, pooled resources, and put aside past hostilities and disputes for greater common interests.

In order to defeat the monsters, humans eventually created their own monsters, namely mechas.

Project Hunter was born.

At first, the hunter plan suffered setbacks.

One person's brain can't handle the stress of neurosensing, so a dual-pilot system is in place.

Then humanity began to win.

The hunter also became a star.

Danger becomes propaganda, monsters become toys.

The world has entered the entertainment era.

Because victory is too easy for humans.

But suddenly, everything changed
