Chinese entertainment for engineering students

After going through all kinds of hardships, well, it is true that "The Matrix" may be the most troublesome project since Wang Xu's rebirth. Now, this project finally faces the final test.

It was September 29th, Thursday night, and the premiere was held in Xiangjiang. This was strongly requested by Mr. Zou. He had postponed the release of this film for some time. How could he miss this great opportunity to be in the limelight.

Wang Xu and Wang Fei attended together. This was also requested by Boss Zou. He needed to use everything that could attract attention.

Going public can be said to be the most important turning point for Jiahe, and he doesn't want anything to go wrong because of it.

Wang Fei's dress today is the dress of Cui Ying in the film. Recently, her dress has returned to tradition, especially in most awards and other occasions. She no longer needs to play anyone, she can wear whatever she likes.

Even if she appeared in street clothes today, there would definitely be no problem, but it was the premiere of the movie, and Wang Fei planned to sell clothes based on the movie, so there was nothing wrong with being a little aggrieved.

But it's not a grievance. If she hadn't worn it too many times while filming movies, she would really like the combination of a black leather strapless vest and a black leather short windbreaker. The problem is that the weather is a bit hot.

Wang Xu is also wearing a suit from the movie. This outfit is fine to wear in the imperial capital and most parts of Chou Country in this weather, but in Xiangjiang, it is really hot.

Fortunately, these two people are not in ordinary physical condition now, and they spend most of their time indoors, and the air conditioning is sufficient, so they don't get sweaty.

The two of them stood at the door wearing sunglasses and attracted countless flashing lights without saying anything.

After just a few poses, Wang Xu and Wang Fei walked into the theater coolly one after the other. Well, it’s rare that the two of them didn’t hold hands today. They are the kind of people who stick to each other wherever they go. Xiangjiang Entertainment reporters have taken countless photos of the two holding hands in the imperial capital.

Therefore, although Wang Xu has not made an official appearance at this time, fans and audiences in Xiangjiang are actually familiar with him.

It's just that today, it's rare that he didn't wear a mask, but only wore sunglasses. This was the clearest time to show his handsome face, and the effect was much better than taking candid photos on the street.

In the cinema hall, we went through the necessary procedures, took photos, signed autographs, took photos, and were interviewed. After briefly answering a few questions, when the reporter from Xiangjiang turned the topic to the relationship between the two, Wang Fei pulled Wang Xu and turned around and left.

Well, we're holding hands again, and you'll get over it by playing cool for a while. If you play too much, you'll get tired, and others will get annoyed too.

The premiere of Xiangjiang was actually very simple. A host said a few words and then started watching the movie directly. After the movie, it was time for the audience and the actors to meet.

This time, the crew came very neatly. Except for John and Whitney who attended the premiere in Ugly Country, the rest of the Chinese people came.

Jiang Wen was wearing a black suit and black tie, and he looked really domineering. However, he didn't wear the black leather jacket or the black sunglasses, so he didn't have to wear costumes as the entire crew.

Both Zhang Guorong and Zheng Jianyi attended in black suits. Zhang Guorong is a gentle man who always wears casual clothes in the movie, and he looks very stylish. Today, he also wore a casual matte suit, which matched his movie style.

Ekin Cheng, on the other hand, is quite well-dressed. He plays the role of a member of the team in the center. He doesn't have many roles, and he died soon after. This time, he can actually increase his popularity.

This is how the acting industry really works. Movies need big names to support the scene, and then the scene gives some young people space to use it to increase their reputation. If a virtuous circle is formed, it can actually be maintained well.

But the problem is, this industry is so glamorous, even in the Mainland, the income is starting to skyrocket. The top artists are making money, and the people below are naturally trying to get in, and all kinds of filthiness are born.

A character like Zheng Jianyi, who started playing the leading role in Hong Kong, had to rely on the relationship with Master Wang Fei to get a small role in a film like this. You will know how high the gold content of this film is. .

There were so many guests, almost half of the Xiangjiang film industry was present. This was a big event for Jiahe, and Mr. Zou’s connections in Xiangjiang were not comparable to those of ordinary people.

Of course, all of Wang Fei’s best friends also came to support them. Most of these people are now prosperous in Xiangjiang. Beyond, which had been suppressed before, suddenly seems to have a brighter future. It has won awards and been ranked on the list, and it seems that it is newly promoted to the top. Flow posture.

Historically, they would have passed away because they were suppressed in their development in Hong Kong. In the end, Huang Jiajun disappeared from the music scene forever due to a performance accident, which cannot but be said to be a great loss to the Hong Kong music scene.

But now, they are very proud of themselves. The sales of their new album have exploded, easily breaking six times platinum, and they have become the most important pillar of the company.

How they praised Wang Fei at that time is how Wang Fei repays them now. From time to time, she would say something like a senior brother and brag about their rock music everywhere.

Wang Fei originally liked rock music, but she never got too involved with Black Panther in her life. Instead, she became Beyond. After a drink and a peck, it was determined. Of course, the Black Panthers in this life are actually doing well. Wang Fei's ex-boyfriend's band has made them quite popular in Hong Kong, and the atmosphere in the team seems to be harmonious.

Of course, this is how it looks to outsiders, and no one knows what is going on inside. Dou Xian’s excess talent is actually the core reason for his departure. The remaining Black Panthers, including Luan Shu, are really in front of Dou Xian. Some of them are not enough.

But it’s good. Black Panther 2, which Wang Xu has been thinking about for a long time, seems to be coming out soon.

In the previous life, Black Panther One finally became the swan song, which made Wang Xu sigh with regret, Dou Xian angrily cursed everything as a conspiracy, and made people lament the fall of a generation of geniuses. In this life, I hope everything goes well.

Boss Zou had almost no involvement in this film. His purpose was very clear, which was for his plan to go public. Other than that, he didn't have to interfere. He didn't even arrange a single actor, which is amazing.

However, this is also related to Jiahe's own business philosophy. They do not value the artist business, but are more concerned about theaters and movies themselves. Except for Fanglong, the rest of them are cooperative types.

Therefore, there is no younger generation that needs to be cultivated by oneself. This company typically only uses experienced people and does not use new people.

The short fat man on the stage made a few jokes, introduced the main topic, and the movie started.

How many times have you watched this? Wang Fei was getting a little annoyed, so she took Wang Xu's hand and rubbed it. She was a little bored. After all, it was her husband's first movie, so she had to come to support it, otherwise she wouldn't be too lazy to come to a place like this.

After going there and watching the movie, Wang Fei's mentality could no longer be described as being lofty. It was as if she was floating out of the atmosphere and heading straight into outer space.

Well, actually Wang Xu was about the same. Fortunately, school had started and he was busy with a lot of scientific research, so he regained his composure.

In fact, this person is really weird. If you think about it, he is usually rebellious. He is the boss and he is the second child. How can he be so honest just by going there?

Neither of them spoke, each thinking about other things so as not to fall asleep. To be honest, this kind of activity is a real waste of time, but there is nothing we can do. We have to do it again in the Imperial Capital. We will leave at night and tomorrow morning. The Imperial Capital Office.

Xiangjiang is half a day ahead of schedule and Imperial Capital is half a day behind. This is a compromise for the compatriots in Xiangjiang. For this, China Film Group and Mr. Zou have been arguing for a long time.

After the film was played, the whole house applauded. For the invited guests, this was a brand new shock. Can Xiangjiang's kung fu be able to withstand the impact of such a new type of action film? Will Xiangjiang's tradition be broken by science fiction themes? They need to think deeply.

However, most of the bosses of Xiangjiang Film Company have decided to immediately go back to produce science fiction films. They cannot make large-scale productions and follow the trend. They know whether the film will be a hit or not.

I heard that the movie universe is open source. Just now Wang Xu came on stage to introduce the concept of an open source universe. You can film it at will, and you will get some royalties if you make money. If you don't make money, forget it.

However, Xiangjiang people will not fall into this trap. You can just change this thing casually, and there is no need for your movie universe. Xiangjiang's main theme is a tribute. If it were changed to the story of Xiangjiang people, it could still be filmed.

As expected, the box office exploded that night, with more than 3 million box office reported that day. You must remember that this was a premiere in the evening, and it was still a Thursday. Although such results could not break the first-day box office record, but on a non-weekend, In the box office comparison, it is absolutely crushing.

Of course, Wang Xu didn't think it was unexpected. Xiangjiang has actually been baptized by dinosaurs, and its resistance to special effects blockbusters is not high.

What's more, this was shot locally in Xiangjiang. Well, yes, that's how Xiangjiang is promoted, a pure Xiangjiang movie.

Xiangjiang Investment, Xiangjiang Star, who can say that Xiangjiang is not good at science fiction films in the future, there is nothing wrong with it.

On the second day, various reports came out in Hong Kong, such as "Super blockbusters shocked Hong Kong", "This is a science fiction film", "Super science fiction films are coming to rival Hollywood blockbusters", "Dinosaurs step aside, science fiction still needs to be watched in Hong Kong"... …

Well, the media in Xiangjiang is like this, but it’s not without some cold wind. For example, the title of “Oriental Daily” is “Going South!” 》

The content naturally points out that the main characters are actually mainlanders, and there is nothing wrong with being from Xiangjiang. Wang Fei is a mainland girl, and Wang Xu has never been to Xiangjiang at all. This is a sign of the mainland's massive move south. They have already monopolized the music scene in Xiangjiang. Is it now the turn of the film industry?

Mr. Zou lured the wolf into the house, Xiangjiang Capital should be careful, this is a conspiracy from the mainland.

It was a very calm and objective evaluation, but the whole text was just a theory of the Chinese threat, but there was no report on the film itself. Boss Zou was so angry that he threw the newspaper and slammed the table.

These media were all invited by Mr. Zou. As an important media in Xiangjiang, "Oriental Daily" was of course also invited. Unexpectedly, it took the money and did such a thing. This made the company at the critical time of listing How can Mr. Zou not be angry?

In fact, if Wang Xu saw it, he would probably just laugh and laugh, where is this? Since Ugly Kingdom Movies can come, Imperial City Movies can naturally go too. However, the market for Xiangjiang Movies is really not that big, and Wang Xu is too lazy to do so. Just put so much thought into it.

In fact, the current Xiangjiang filmmakers still have a strong sense of family and country, and their mentality of helping poor relatives is also very real. At the beginning of the 1980s, Xiangjiang began to change textbooks, and all kinds of messy things began to appear.

When the current batch of Hong Kong filmmakers get old and new filmmakers fail to rise, the news in Hong Kong will be unwatchable.

Several of the main creative staff flew back to the imperial capital overnight, and the premiere was held in the auditorium of the Agricultural Exhibition Hall. Well, many people wonder why we chose such a place. Actually, it’s because it’s close to Dongsi.

When the Imperial Capital was being built, it was quite disciplined. The Imperial Capital Exhibition Hall was built outside Xizhimen, and another one was built outside Dongzhimen, the Agricultural Exhibition Hall. In fact, the two are about the same size.

It’s just that the name of the Imperial Exhibition Hall is more catchy, so many important exhibitions and activities like to gather there. The Imperial Exhibition Auditorium has also become a famous place for premieres.

However, in this life, it was the Agricultural Exhibition Hall that came to Wang Xu for renovation first. They also had an auditorium, but it was of little use. The main reason was that the surrounding population was not as dense as in the west, making it in an awkward location.

But in fact, not far from the Agricultural Exhibition Hall are Lufthansa, Liangmaqiao, Great Wall Hotel and other high-end facilities, which can be regarded as the top consumer places in the imperial capital in this era.

He also guards the Embassy District, a gathering place for wealthy people, and Sanlitun, a consumer place. His lack of fame is really just a matter of poor management.

But in this life, I don’t know how their leader figured it out and took the initiative to find the Dynasty Factory in Chaoyang District to modify their film and television system. This was the first film and television system that Wang Xu had modified in China.

The Agricultural Exhibition Hall is not a professional cinema. This time, several halls were used for renovation. Maybe they also want to carry out multiple operations. In fact, the main thing is to renovate the sound system. Their movie projection equipment is imported, and Wang Xu does not provide such equipment here.

However, reciprocating the favor, Wang Xu naturally chose this place to hold the premiere.

This change is not a big one. In the previous life, the Agricultural Exhibition Hall was always just an exhibition hall, quietly hosting various agricultural exhibitions and selling local specialties from time to time.

There are many bird's nests and hericium heads sold there. Many old men and women went there and were cheated out of it. After a while, they got better. In this life, a small cinema has opened, which is considered a big one. Change it.

The guests here in the Imperial Capital were all invited by China Film Group, so the situation was naturally not trivial. Almost half of the film circles in the Imperial Capital were also here.

Of course, Lao Mouzi and Gong Li will not be absent. He is the art director. He is honored to make this film outstanding. He also participated in a lot of post-production work. This man's skills are not limited. His use of color It can be said that he is a master of painting and is very good at using colors to express emotions.

After he discovered that software could be used to achieve colors that could not be easily achieved with filters, he and Gu Changwei became almost permanent residents in the post-production special effects studio.

Wang Xu couldn't help but admire this man. His achievements were not in vain. It was due to his eagerness to learn and study, as well as his natural ability to control lenses and colors.

His success in his previous life was really not enough. Maybe he was just matched with the wrong partner, otherwise his achievements should be more brilliant.

Zhang Yimou has already seen the finished film, but Jiang Wu and others have not. Jiang Wen did not pay much attention to the post-production after the filming. He went to work on his own film. Yesterday was the first time he saw the finished film in Xiangjiang, but that was The Cantonese version sounded awkward to him.

In addition, an unexpected great director also came, that is Poet Chen, who came alone without his current lover. He seemed to dislike Ni Ping a little, but he still stayed with her.

Honghuang is also here today. Wang Fei invested in her new fashion magazine. How could she not come on an occasion like today? The fashion taste of this film is very worthy of special mention.

Poet Chen obviously didn't expect his ex-wife to be there, and his expression was a little awkward, but after all, he was a part of the scene, or in other words, there was no one in this circle who was not a part of the scene.

What is a scene person? That is what later generations often say. As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. A scene person is the best practitioner.

Fortunately, Honghuang was also a scene person, so there was no apparent conflict, but anyway, this sister never gave Poet Chen a good look.

Two hours passed quickly. The main creative staff, including Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen, came to the stage together, arranged sofas, and answered various questions.

This process also happened yesterday, but most of the questions from reporters in Xiangjiang focused on box office expectations. Wang Xu simply answered them and passed. Later, the questions gradually strayed into the gossip about Wang Fei and Wang Xu, and the two started talking about it. His face was cold and he didn't answer anything.

All in all, it was not very pleasant, but the Xiangjiang reporter was like this. Wang Fei had long been used to it. She had never been used to that group of reporters, and the Xiangjiang reporter seemed to be used to it, and she still asked questions tirelessly.

Maybe this will become the norm. As for Wang Xu, he rarely goes there anyway. Now reporters in Xiangjiang call these two cold-faced men.

Today, most of them are state media reporters and there are very few entertainment reporters. The questions they ask are more like interviewing government officials than interviewing the director and crew of a movie.

"I am a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. I would like to ask Director Wang, first of all, congratulations on completing a pioneering work. This is China's first large-scale science fiction film. How do you evaluate your film? If you give yourself a score, you will give it a rating. How many points?" A reporter stood up and asked.

These are reporters from the state media. Among all reporters, they will always be in the C position.

"Thank you for your affirmation. The film has been filmed. I have definitely tried my best. Now it is time for the audience to give me a score. It is meaningless how many points I give myself." Wang Xu answered the question crowningly. .

"If you have to give a score, are you satisfied with your movie?" The reporter asked, which is interesting.

"Of course I am satisfied. It is impossible for me to throw out unsatisfactory works to the audience. If I cannot satisfy myself, I would rather it rot in the warehouse." Wang Xu answered decisively.

(See you tomorrow. I caught up. It’s another 10,000-word day. Okay, I’m showing off. In fact, I’m already superhuman.)
