Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Not far from Nie Wei, there was a young couple, who looked like they were just eighteen or nineteen years old. The two of them were standing at the movie selection window of the theater, hesitating.

"How about watching Mr. Nice Guy? I've seen the trailer, and Jim Carrey is as funny as ever," the boy suggested.

But the girl shook her head and disagreed: "No, I don't think this movie is funny at all. Jim Carrey always uses his exaggerated expressions to make things funny, and I'm tired of it."

"What about this "Romantic Mouse Deperro"?"

"Anderson, we all became adults last month. Don't you think this kind of cartoon is childish? If we go to school to discuss this movie tomorrow, we will definitely be laughed at by everyone in the class."

The girl's words made Nie Wei chuckle inwardly. He seemed to be acting mature, but in fact his thoughts were still childish and cute.

"Let's watch this." Just when Nie Wei was curious and wanted to see what the young couple looked like, she heard the girl shouting loudly.

"Oh, God, Alice, you actually want to watch a Chinese movie. Are you sure you can distinguish the characters in the movie? The last time you watched that movie, you recognized the villain as the protagonist. "

"Last time it was because I fell asleep! Do you think I'm stupid? I can't even tell the difference between the protagonist and the villain. Anyway, I don't care. I'm going to watch this movie today. It looks so cool, and the male protagonist is Very handsome!”

Nie Wei has already seen the appearance of this young couple. The girl has blond hair that is shawl, and she looks ordinary. However, a few small freckles on her face give her ordinary appearance a bit of playfulness, which can be regarded as She is a lovely girl.

The boy wore black-rimmed glasses, combed his hair into a three-quarter length, and wore a jacket, a plaid shirt underneath, and jeans underneath, a typical student look.

Nie Wei watched the girl point to the poster of "Assassin's League" and said firmly: "Just look at this."

The boy looked unwilling to petition, but under the pressure of the girl, he finally went to the ticket window and bought two movie tickets for "Assassin's League".

"Alice, you will definitely regret it." The boy had already bought the ticket and complained. What he got in return was a blank look from the girl, and the ticket in his hand was also snatched away by the girl.

Nie Wei turned her head with a smile and stopped paying attention to the young couple.

However, Nie Wei and Luo Kai did not watch the movie in the end because Thomas called and hoped that Nie Wei could cooperate with Disney to participate in a well-known talk show. Because it was a temporary airborne arrangement, the time was very close. If Nie Wei If Wei had his original intention, he would have to take a flight to New York tonight.

Just when Nie Wei and Luo Kai were about to leave the theater, a couple of international students who came to the theater to watch a movie recognized them. The young couple was obviously high on seeing Nie Wei and asked for autographs and autographs. They took a group photo together and kept telling Nie Wei that they were just watching Nie Wei's movie "Assassin's League".

Nie Wei followed suit and gave them two movie tickets directly. The young couple obviously didn't expect such a good thing. They were so excited that they couldn't even say anything. Anyway, they just wanted to support Nie Wei in the future. , although some of the prefaces do not match the afterwords, but they are indeed sincere, Nie Wei can see it.

After bidding farewell to the young couple, Nie Wei and Luo Kai packed up at the nightclub hotel and flew to New York on a private jet provided by Disney.

At this time, there are no programs on some movie channels, and they are also discussing several blockbusters released during this year's Christmas season.

"Movie Talk" is a late-night movie talk show launched by FOX TV station. The guests invited are invited to predict the box office of some popular movies, or to predict the performance and reputation of certain blockbuster movies. content.

The program officially started broadcasting at ten o'clock in the evening, and the recording of the program happened to be the day before the release of "Assassin's League".

The program broadcast that day also mentioned the upcoming "Assassin's League".

"Christmas movies have always been dominated by comedies. In the festive atmosphere, I believe that even God would not like fighting and killing, and comedy is the number one choice for people celebrating the holidays, so I think Jim Carrey "Mr. Nice" will be a big success this Christmas."

"Don't be ridiculous, man, it's temporarily ahead because it didn't catch up with "The Return of Youth" starring Pete. Jim Carrey's old-fashioned funny way, even my grandma despised it. Christmas is really the world of young people. Especially those little girls, they prefer those idols who are handsome, such as Brad Pitt.

You think even Julie was fascinated by him. How could those little girls resist her? They would willingly go into the cinema and buy a ticket for a movie starring him, and then sit in the screening room and just enjoy it. That face is worth the price of admission. "

"Please, who wants to see Pete's face? I feel like he's not as handsome as me."

"Dude, your joke is not funny at all. I think you are going to receive razor blades from Pete's female fans at your house tomorrow."

Because it is the Christmas period, the focus of the discussion on the program is naturally the Christmas movies that have been released or are about to be released. The program has started for almost fifteen minutes, and the words of these guests basically focus on the movies starring Brad Pitt. "Rejuvenation", and "Mr. Nice Guy" starring Jim Carrey.

Occasionally, Reese's wonderful performance in "Four Christmases" is mentioned. After all, these movies have one thing in common, that is, they all have a big star.

The scene was mainly composed of two guests with hundreds of people debating each other, and there was a black guest who stared at the side and was anxious, but he couldn't get a word in.

For this time to be on this show, this black guest has prepared a lot, just hoping that this show can make him a little famous, and then he can become a full-time film critic in a magazine, and his quality of life will be much more stable, but the current situation makes him feel terrible, because he can't get a word in at all, and he can't get a lot of attention. Not to mention being famous, maybe the audience won't even remember his name after the show is broadcast.

Maybe his only advantage is that he is the only black guest on the scene, Albert thought self-deprecatingly.

Of course, Albert was unwilling to miss the opportunity like this, he must use his brainpower and get along with others to find a way to make himself stand out.

Finally, a light bulb flashed in his mind, and he thought of a movie he remembered when he was reading the information last night, and his eyes lit up immediately.

At this moment, he was really grateful for his determination to stay up late to do homework. His efforts were not in vain, and the rewards were coming soon.

"Hey, guys, you have said so much, have you forgotten that there is another movie to be released on Christmas Eve, and it is also a movie that Disney is promoting this Christmas, and it is also a movie starring most Chinese actors. Don't you want to say anything about such a special movie?"

Albert's sudden words startled all the guests who were discussing fiercely on the spot, and then there was an awkward silence.

In fact, the other two guests remembered this movie. After all, Disney also spent a lot of resources to promote it. It would be too hypocritical to say that they had never heard of it, but this movie was something they didn't want to mention.

On the one hand, there is the uncertainty of this movie. They have all seen the trailer. The scene is indeed very big, and the film is also excellent in all aspects. But on the other hand, this is a movie starring Chinese people, all of whom are a group of actors who are not well-known in Hollywood. They can't be sure whether such a movie will be a hit.

On the other hand, they have a certain prejudice against Chinese movies. In their eyes, Chinese movies are nothing to watch except kung fu movies. Even if the trailer of this movie seems good, the real movie is not a trailer.

The trailer can cut out the essence of the movie, but a movie must have at least two hours of plot development. Who knows whether the Chinese director will make this movie into a love movie.

After all, in their impression, the movies directed by Chinese directors always have a lot of incomprehensible plots in the whole movie, and they occupy a lot of weight.

"Of course I know that movie, after all, the star of that movie is a billionaire, but what I want to say is that Mr. Nie may be good at investing, but when it comes to making movies, I don’t think they Orientals come to Hollywood to develop." A guest named Adolf answered.

Another guest named Austin also echoed: "Yes, I have seen the trailer of "Assassin's League", it's just so-so. I think DC may have sold the wrong copyright this time. Even if this is a comic organization that is insignificant to them, I think it is likely to become the biggest black spot for DC in the future."

Speaking of this, Austin couldn't help but said with a sneer: "Albert, you don't think a group of Chinese people can make a good movie adapted from an American comic, do you? I think the possibility of failure is 99%."

"You are biased." Albert retorted loudly After saying that, he simply stood up, looked down at the other two guests, and said with a firm face: "This movie will definitely blow your eyes. I bet that its box office will be among the top five in this Christmas season... No, it even has the potential to be among the top three."

"You are daydreaming!" Adolf couldn't sit still anymore, and also stood up and shouted to Albert: "Don't even mention the top five. If it can be among the top ten, we should thank God."

"But its pre-sale box office is now ranked fifth among all the movies released after December 10th. Doesn't this result prove that it has potential?" Albert shot back.

After hearing this reason, Adolf showed a disdainful expression and said: "If there is no pre-sale box office figure, I think it may not even be among the top ten. To be honest, I even suspect that the billionaire did something secretly to get this pre-sale box office."

"Haha, that's right." Auston, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but laugh and said.

Albert looked at the two people, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The smile was fleeting, and even the cameraman who had been taking close-ups of Albert didn't notice it from the camera. The next second, Albert pointed at the other two guests with an angry face.

"I think you underestimated Mr. Nie. Do you dare to bet with me that this movie "Assassin's League" can win the weekly box office championship, and the final box office can be ranked in the top three of the Christmas box office."

"Mr. Albert, where do you get your confidence?" Adolf looked at Albert and said, "Of course it's okay to bet on this. Even if it reaches a record, I'll count you as the winner, but you're not immune to this movie. You're too confident, right? The movie "Rejuvenation" starring Pitt was released together with him. You won't forget it, right?

And if there is a bet, what is the bet? I never engage in oral business. It’s boring, and I’m sure the audience in front of the TV won’t like it either. "

"Back when Barkley and Kenny Smith bet on Yao Ming's future, the bet was to kiss the donkey's butt. Now we are also betting on the future of a Chinese director's movies. But instead of kissing the donkey's butt, how about kissing someone we know well?"

Hoo——! ! !

The staff of the live program team all widened their eyes, this bet is so hot!

As for the conflict between the two parties at the scene, they had no intention of stopping it at all. This is how the show is good.

The current situation is in the interests of the program team, so instead of stopping it, they want to encourage them to make a more intense fuss, so as to stimulate more ratings.

Adolf obviously didn't expect that Albert would propose such a bet, and he was a little bit embarrassed for a while. After all, he had also seen the trailer of "The League of Assassins". Judging from the trailer alone, this movie was not as good as the one he had just made. It's so unbearable to say.

But whether it is the weekly box office champion or the top three Christmas box office box office, is it really possible for a movie starring a Chinese actor to achieve these two results?

"Adolf, if you are scared, just apologize to the viewers who like "League of Assassins" in front of the camera, and also apologize to Mr. Nie." At this moment, Albert has already taken the initiative in speaking.

How could Adolf apologize? After all, that slap in the face was too quick.

So after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that these two achievements were too difficult for "League of Assassins" to achieve. His winning rate was at least 90%.

"OK, no problem, I agreed. The loser will kiss the donkey. Now Mr. Albert, you'd better pray that the donkey found by the program team has brushed his teeth." Adolf was forced step by step by Albert. In the corner, he was naturally unwilling to accept it, so his words were full of sarcasm towards Albert.

Albert didn't take it seriously, his goal had been achieved.

Regardless of whether he wins or loses this bet, he will definitely receive attention. This is already his victory. Of course, it would be best if "Assassin's League" can win. At least he doesn't want to kiss a donkey.
