The publicity method and content of "Operation Mekong" are actually very different from other purely entertainment-oriented movies. This is determined by the nature of the movie.

After all, this movie is adapted from a real major historical event. Bona obtained the authorization from the Ministry of Public Security, and the entire filming process was assisted by the Publicity Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the Narcotics Control Bureau and other units.

Therefore, it cannot be regarded as a purely commercial film. The film carries certain political tasks.

Director Lin Chaoxian was obviously very aware of this situation, so he went through three years of preparation before shooting the movie.

The screenwriter team recorded the entire court trial of the big drug lord "Nuokang" in the form of a documentary, and intercepted many character traits from front-line police officers.

Director Lin also discussed the case with the anti-narcotics department of the Ministry of Public Security several times. The "collection team" sent by Bona Pictures collected a large amount of real data and information about the case and compiled hundreds of thousands of words of audio recordings, all in order to present the film. The closest to real effect.

Now it seems that these efforts were not in vain. At least the Ministry of Public Security, the Drug Enforcement Administration and other units are still very satisfied with the effects of the film.

The premiere of "Operation Mekong" was held at the CPPCC Auditorium in Beijing. The audience was not just any ordinary audience, but thousands of police officers and police academy students.

Leaders such as Member of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Public Security and Director of the Political Department Xia, Deputy Director of the National Narcotics Control Commission, Member of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Public Security and Anti-Terrorism Commissioner Liu, Deputy Director Zhou of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, Director Ma of the Film and Television Department of the Bureau of Literature and Art of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China were all present. for this premiere.

Yu Dong and Lin Chaoxian led the film's main creators to bring their new film to be tested by real "professionals".

Teacher Chen Baoguo also arrived at the scene today. He plays the role of the Minister of Public Security in the movie. Most of the scenes were shot in China. All of Gu Wei's scenes were shot abroad, so the two did not have the opportunity to communicate during the filming. .

"Teacher Chen, long time no see~"

As soon as the two met, Gu Wei took the initiative to say hello and bent slightly to shake hands with Chen Baoguo.

"I've watched the movie, and you did a really good job as the protagonist. You're better than your predecessor.

Come on, I’m optimistic about your future development.”

Chen Baoguo smiled and patted Gu Wei on the shoulder, encouraging him.

"Don't dare, I'm still far behind Teacher Chen. I will continue to work hard in the future."

Gu Wei and Chen Baoguo had met once before, during the [Feitian Award] award ceremony. The two were still competitors, competing for the best actor.

Gu Wei was defeated at that time, but although he was regretful, he was not dissatisfied. There was no shame in losing to Chen Baoguo.

He has watched Chen Baoguo's "The Gate of the House" since he was a child, and he really likes his role as "Bai Jingqi" in it. He is half a fan of his.

And the other party can definitely be called one of the best performers in the domestic entertainment industry, a true people's performing artist.

This is a purely artistic achievement, achieved through the creation of countless classic characters. It has nothing to do with fame, how much money you make, or your status.

Of course, Teacher Chen has been acting all his life and is now a national first-class actor, president of the China Film and Performing Arts Society, president of the Actors Working Committee of the China Television Artists Association, and a representative of the National People's Congress.

There are very few actors in the film and television industry who can truly compare with him.

The premiere started with a speech by the leaders present, and then the creative team interacted with the audience for a while, and then the movie started to show.

Although it was a premiere, due to the special nature of the guest audience, there were no entertainment media in the venue, and only a few official media were filming below.

Everyone asked questions very formally, and it felt a bit rigid.

The police audience outside the venue were all wearing uniforms and sitting in meticulous postures. Those who knew it were watching a movie, but those who didn't know it thought they were having some important meeting.

Since Gu Wei became famous, it was the first time that he did not receive special attention at the premiere of a movie he starred in. This feeling was quite novel.

When his previous movies were released, whether at premieres or road shows, he was always the one who was the focus of attention from the media and the audience. After all, he is the most popular and has a lot of fans. Everyone's focus when watching movies is on him. .

But today on the stage, Gu Wei was just like an ordinary actor. He also answered one or two questions from reporters and the audience, but that was all. Everyone did not pay too much attention to him.

The plot of [Operation Mekong] is very compact. From the beginning of the movie, the "Mekong River Tragedy" happened and the Chinese crew member Golden Triangle was killed. The tense and exciting plot firmly captured the hearts of the audience.

Then the anti-drug intelligence agent "Fang Xinwu" played by Gu Wei appeared, and a tense and exciting arresting scene was very enjoyable for the audience.

The domestic side also responded quickly. At the request of his superiors, "Gao Gang" played by Zhang Hanyu was entrusted with the important task of becoming the captain of the special operations team. He led the special operations team to sneak into the Golden Triangle, jointly investigated with "Fang Xinwu", and led the anti-drug squad. Go straight to the drug lord's lair to eliminate harm for the people.

It can be said that the movie is a two-line narrative at the beginning, until Gu Wei and Zhang Hanyu meet in Thailand, the two male protagonists lead a team of anti-narcotics policemen to start a real life-and-death battle with the big drug lord "Nou Ka".

The 124 minutes passed quickly. During this period, there were several rounds of applause in the auditorium. After the film screening, the audience gave another intense and long-lasting round of applause. From this point of view, [Operation Mekong] has truly won the recognition and recognition of these "professionals". favorite.

After the premiere ceremony, Yu Dong and others attended another premiere press conference.

With reporters from all walks of life gathering together, it can be said that now is the real promotion of the movie today.

“There are two things in filming [Operation Mekong] that must be authentic at all costs. One is that all parties must cooperate fully to reproduce the entire process of solving the major case; the other is to show the insufficiency of the anti-narcotics police. The well-known emotional world.

The first thing has been done to the best with the efforts of our entire crew, and it has just been recognized by professional audiences.

The second thing is that Gu Wei's interpretation of the male protagonist "Fang Xinwu" in the movie showed the true inner side of the anti-drug policeman very well.

They are different from other police officers. They have to hide their identities for a long time and cannot show up during interviews. If they are not careful, they will be retaliated by drug dealers on their families.

They are filial sons, loving parents, and people of flesh and blood like us. They live in the darkness every day in order to let more people stay away from drugs and live in the sunshine.

So as a director, I hope to tell everyone through this movie that their efforts are meaningful and will not be ignored or forgotten. "

At the press conference, Lin Chaoxian spoke more, and Gu Wei also became the focus of media attention.

"Filming is difficult, but very meaningful. Through this film, I have a deeper understanding of the importance of the saying "Cherish life and stay away from drugs."

I have a set of official data. In 2015, 4,599 police officers in public security agencies across the country were injured in the line of duty, and 438 police officers died in the line of duty. The number of people killed by anti-drug police officers is 4.9 times that of other police types, and the number of injuries is as high as 10 times.

Therefore, the danger of the job of anti-narcotics police is self-evident.

In order to protect the general public from drugs and ensure safety, anti-drug police officers are always facing severe tests of life and death.

The film shot by Director Lin is of very high quality, with a high degree of realism, and conveys a positive belief. I hope everyone can go to the theater to watch this good film that should not be missed."

After being asked many questions, Gu Wei made a concluding speech and then left the press conference with the team.

The main creative team has to catch an evening flight to Yun Province, where a premiere will be held on the 26th.

The premiere and press conference are over, and various news about [Operation Mekong] are also being released on the Internet.

There are also some viewers who have watched the film and started to speak out for the film.

Although Gu Wei saw the policemen and police academy students in the audience looking serious during the ceremony, they also transformed into 5G surfers after returning from the movie.

[Coordinated in the capital, I am a student of the police academy. Today I participated in the movie [Operation Mekong] starring Gu Wei under the school organization. Let me explain in advance that I am not a fan of Gu Wei, but I have to say that this movie was really well made. Gu Wei He also acted very well, he was a pure tough guy, and he became a fan! ! 】

[Big brother upstairs, thank you for liking my idol, Gu Wei will never disappoint you! ! 】

[Brother, which school are you from? Our school also organized and participated. A total of more than 50 people attended. Everyone was very excited after watching it. This movie was really well shot! ! 】

[The movie will be released in 5 days. Reading the comments from those of you who have watched the movie makes me feel itchy. Is this movie really that exciting? 】

[It’s really good, the plot is very fast-paced, the action scenes and gun fights are great, especially the fearless spirit and super professional strength of the Chinese anti-narcotics police are brought to the fullest. It’s very enjoyable to watch! 】

[Coordinated by Yun Provincial Police College, it is said that the film crew will come to our place tomorrow to hold a movie viewing ceremony. We are looking forward to it]

【.】

In the next few days, the main creative team went to several major cities across the country to perform roadshows and hold movie viewing ceremonies, but most of them were local police academies.

For example, I will be in the auditorium of the Yun Province Police School on the 26th, and I will go to the Shancheng Police School on the 27th.

Of course, these places are not chosen randomly. Border areas like Yun Province are areas with a high incidence of drug trafficking and drug abuse, so the first place the crew ended up in the capital was here.

Local official departments also attach great importance to the movie. The leaders of the Public Security Department and the Secretary and Dean of the Police Academy attended the viewing ceremony and delivered speeches.

The students of the school even warmly welcomed the arrival of Gu Wei, Zhang Hanyu and others.
