Super Copy of Great Power Technology

A week later, at Emperor Cinema on Jianwai Street, director Guo Fan and lead actor Wu Jing, dressed in formal attire, stood at the entrance of the theater with a smile on their faces, welcoming a group of showbiz colleagues or some big-name film critics. Today is the day of the premiere of the movie "The Wandering Earth". As a hardcore sci-fi blockbuster with a production cost of 3.2 million, its premiere naturally cannot be shabby. Not only is the theater newly decorated, but many Wandering Earth elements have been added. The invited guests are also big names in the industry, including superstars, movie kings and queens, and first-line artists from the mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Many of them have come, and the bosses of the top entertainment companies in China and several first-line directors are almost all present. As for how many of them came for the sake of Guo Fan and Wu Jing, and how many came for the purpose of getting to know the richest man Qiao Ruida, it is hard to say.

The film and television industry is a place of fame and fortune, and capital is undoubtedly the object of pursuit for many people. Since the Ruida Group started investing in film and television dramas, it has received a lot of attention. After all, in the entertainment industry, there are too few investors like the Ruida Group who are rich, quick to pay, and rarely interfere with the filming of the crew. Coupled with the glittering title of the richest Chinese (in the recently released Forbes Rich List, Qiao Ruida topped the throne of the richest Chinese with a terrifying net worth of 1000 billion US dollars), the Ruida Group's entry into the entertainment industry has really scared many film and television investment companies, and has also become the first choice for a number of directors and crews to attract investment.

Even though Guo Fan is a fledgling director who is not very sociable, he had to step out on this occasion to welcome the arrival of the bigwigs in the industry.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, welcome to our press conference for The Wandering Earth!"

"Congratulations to Director Guo and Mr. Wu. I wish your new film a big hit at the box office!"

"Okay, okay, both of you, please come in!"

After escorting the two entertainment industry bigwigs to the viewing hall again, Wu Jing stretched out his hands and rubbed his stiff facial muscles while the next wave of guests arrived. "I never thought that this welcoming and seeing off job would be more tiring than shooting a day of action scenes."

Guo Fan patted Wu Jing on the shoulder, handed him a bottle of purified water, and said, "Holding a premiere requires welcoming and seeing off guests. It is also an opportunity to build connections in the industry. Once you star in a few more movies, you will get used to it."

It is just the beginning of 2016, and Wu Jing's comeback film "Wolf Warrior 2" has not yet been filmed. He is still an action actor that the audience is familiar with but not necessarily known by name. Guo Fan invited Wu Jing to be one of the leading actors in "The Wandering Earth" because Wu Jing's action scenes are tough enough and the price is cheap. On the other hand, the film investor Qiao Ruida also thinks that Wu Jing is very suitable for the role of Liu Peiqiang in the film.

Wu Jing looked at the roads on both sides of the entrance to the cinema and asked, "Didn't they say that the investor Mr. Qiao was coming? The premiere is about to start, why is Mr. Qiao not here yet?"

"Who said Mr. Qiao had to drive over here from the road? Couldn't he have just flown down from the sky? Look up, isn't he coming?"

After Guo Fan reminded him, Wu Jing heard a very unique sound coming from above. He was very familiar with this sound because he had heard similar sounds more than once when he was taking a space shuttle to space and shooting related shots. The astronauts said that it was the sound of the anti-gravity engine. Wu Jing looked up in astonishment and saw a cool wine red sports car slowly descending from the sky. The whole process was stable and elegant, without any fireworks.

"Oh my god, isn't this a flying car? Didn't they say that the civilian version of the flying car will be released early next year? How did Mr. Qiao get a ready-made one?"

"You forgot that the flying car developer Ruida Automobile is a company under President Qiao. Isn't it normal for him to get the civilian version of the flying car in advance?"

The arrival of the flying car caused a commotion in front of Emperor Cinema. Countless people came to watch or took out their mobile phones to take pictures. Some reporters waiting at the door to take pictures also excitedly raised their cameras and frantically pressed the shutter at the landing flying car. Whether it was the appearance of a flying car in the downtown area or the owner of the flying car, it was good news. If these reporters knew that the people who would come out of the flying car were the richest Chinese man Qiao Ruida and the richest woman in the mainland Qiao Ruixue, they would definitely be more excited to take pictures.

The flying car landed in the open space in front of Emperor Television City. The rear door opened, and Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing, who were dressed in couple outfits, got out of the car one after another, holding hands and walking towards the steps. Then the driver's door opened, and Qiao Ruixue, who was dressed in a school uniform and a ponytail, got out last. A waiter came over hesitantly and reminded: "My classmate, parking is not allowed in front of the door. Can you drive your flying car to the underground parking lot?"

Qiao Ruida waved his hand casually and said, "Don't worry about it. Jarvis will automatically find the nearest parking space to park."

"Uh, who is Jarvis? Is there a driver in the car? I can't see him!"

While the waiter was puzzled, the cool flying car started to move on its own and drove towards the entrance of the underground parking lot. With the intelligent driving system standard on the mid-to-high-end models sold by Ruida Automobile Company, it is not new for the vehicle to automatically plan the route and drive to the destination. However, it is the first time that a car can automatically enter and exit the parking lot, automatically find an empty parking space, and automatically park. The waiter had never seen it on other cars before, so it was no wonder that he was confused.

If the waiter was confused, then the reporters and some onlookers at the scene were completely excited and crazy when they saw Qiao Ruida and Qiao Ruixue walk out of the flying car and walk towards Emperor Cinema. Director Guo never announced to the media that Qiao Ruida would attend the premiere of "The Wandering Earth" except for some important guests and a few people from the crew. Qiao Ruixue's appearance was an unexpected surprise, and even Director Guo didn't know about it.

As the Kuaipai software conquers the world at home and abroad, the user scale has quickly exceeded one billion. Today, Kuaipai has become the third social platform software after WeChat and Weibo, and its influence is growing day by day. Many celebrities and entertainment companies in the entertainment industry have registered official accounts on Kuaipai, and Kuaipai has also become an important publicity channel before the release of film and television dramas. As a result, the influence of Ruixue Interactive Entertainment, the operating company of Kuaipai software, is naturally growing day by day. Qiao Ruixue, as the largest shareholder and chairman of Ruixue Interactive Entertainment and the richest woman in the country, has long been famous and has become the object of pursuit by various media. However, Qiao Ruixue is still studying at Peking University. She is very low-key, rarely appears in public, and rarely accepts interviews, which makes her seem very mysterious. The only public information that everyone can find is that Qiao Ruixue and the richest man Qiao Ruida are siblings. Both of them are super academic masters and have won the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Beihe Province. There are also a few photos of Qiao Ruixue in class taken casually by Peking University students. Even though the photos were not taken well and the resolution is not high, it is still difficult to conceal Qiao Ruixue's stunning beauty.

"Oh my god, isn't this Mr. Qiao from the Reda Group? I didn't expect him to attend the premiere of The Wandering Earth!" "Reda Group is the largest investor in The Wandering Earth. Mr. Qiao is the chairman of Reda Group. It's not normal for him to attend the premiere to show his support."

"Normal shit, Mr. Qiao is a low-key person who rarely appears in public. He even rarely attends the opening ceremony of his own company. It's really strange that he came to attend the premiere of The Wandering Earth this time."

"Mr. Qiao is a related party after all, and The Wandering Earth is the first movie invested by their Reda Group after entering the film and television industry. It is not unexpected but reasonable for him to attend the premiere. What really surprised me was that Qiao Ruixue from Ruixue Interactive Entertainment also came. She has nothing to do with The Wandering Earth movie, but she came to show her support."

"Which one is Qiao Ruixue? What kind of company is Ruixue Interactive Entertainment? Is it very famous?"

"You have used the Kuaipai app, right? Even if you haven't, you must have heard of it. Ruixue Interactive Entertainment is the operating company of Kuaipai. See the innocent-looking girl following behind Qiao Ruida and his wife? She is Qiao Ruixue. She is Qiao Ruida's sister and the founder and chairman of Ruixue Interactive Entertainment. She is worth hundreds of billions and is the richest woman in our country."

"Hiss - what kind of fairy family is this? Not only are the brother and sister both extremely good-looking, but they also have terrifying wealth. The brother is the richest Chinese, and the sister is the richest woman in the country. Could it be that the Qiao family is a business family that has been lurking in the country for a long time?"

"That's not true. The two siblings come from an ordinary family. Their father runs a small appliance repair shop, and their mother works as an accountant in the neighborhood committee. They have achieved this because they started from scratch. They relied on their accurate vision and excellent business skills. They seized the opportunity of the popularization of mobile Internet and quickly rose to become local business tycoons in just a few years."

"I am also curious about how exciting this movie is that is watched by two of the richest men and women at the same time. How about we buy two tickets for The Wandering Earth and go in to watch it?"

"Okay, I heard that The Wandering Earth is the first domestic hardcore science fiction movie. It was filmed entirely with a holographic camera and AI special effects. It's worth watching. Let me see if there are any tickets left."

"Hey, it seems that only holographic versions of movie tickets are being sold for The Wandering Earth. Is this movie only available in 3D holographic format? There are only a few holographic theaters in the country right now. Aren't you afraid of losing money by doing this?"

"We're just watching a movie to kill time, why bother with so much? We still have tickets, the price is about the same as the IMAX giant screen theater, just buy two adjacent tickets."

Qiao Ruida walked forward while raising one hand to block his eyes. These reporters were really unethical, flashing their camera flashes in my eyes non-stop. If anyone had known this, they would have worn sunglasses before going out.

"Boss Qiao, President Du, and Classmate Qiao, welcome to the premiere of The Wandering Earth!" Director Guo Fan took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Qiao Ruida, Du Qingqing, and Qiao Ruixue in turn, showing great enthusiasm and initiative. The reason why Du Qingqing is called President Du is because she is in charge of a large-scale charity foundation, donating tens of billions of yuan every year, and is one of the few in China that has all its accounts and donation information open to the public. The charitable gene that truly puts charity into practice has long been well-known. As for Qiao Ruixue, the name of Classmate Qiao, it is just to distinguish it from the name of Boss Qiao of Qiao Ruida. It is impossible to have two Boss Qiaos in the same occasion, as it would be too inconvenient to call them that.

"Director Guo, Wu Ge, we are all acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite. The invited guests have almost arrived, when does the premiere start?" Qiao Ruida had dealt with Director Guo Fan several times, and he had seen many of Wu Jing's films in his previous life. He was familiar with the two of them and spoke to them quite casually.

"Well, the guests are almost here. Some of them haven't come yet and they probably won't come. The premiere will start soon. Let's go in together." Guo Fan's performance was good. He spoke clearly and invited everyone to go into the theater. Wu Jing was a little surprised. He thought that Wu Jing was just a second-rate action actor, and he only had one masterpiece that grossed over 100 million yuan. How could he be called "brother" by the richest Chinese man, Qiao Ruida?

"Well, Mr. Qiao, have you seen my movies before?" Wu Jing's voice was trembling, and he was obviously upset.

"Of course, Wolf Warrior Leng Feng, who doesn't know him?" Qiao Ruida was referring to Leng Feng in the second part of Wolf Warrior. He had watched the movie many times in his previous life, so he was naturally impressed. However, this life has just entered 16, and the first part of Wolf Warrior was just released not long ago, and the second part has not been filmed yet. After hearing Qiao Ruida's words, everyone naturally understood it as the first part of Wolf Warrior.

“Hahaha, thank you Mr. Qiao for your kindness. To be honest, Wolf Warrior is the first movie I directed and starred in. It has many shortcomings and the box office is only over 500 million, barely enough to make back the investment. I didn’t expect Mr. Qiao to like it.” Wu Jing is a warrior after all, and he has a generous nature. After getting to know Qiao Reida, he speaks more fluently.

“I am very optimistic about the creativity of the movie ‘Wolf Warrior’ and the patriotic spirit it shows. When you shoot the second part, you can ask me for investment.” Qiao Ruida did not correct Wu Jing’s mistake, but continued with the topic, expressing his intention to invest in the second part of “Wolf Warrior”.

"When I was filming Wolf Warrior, I approached many film and television companies for investment, but they all said that mainstream films had no future and that military action films had no precedent for success, and advised me to give up this immature idea. Later, I couldn't raise enough money, so I sold my house to support the project and finally made the movie." (End of this chapter)
