China Entertainment Anchor

After they entered the banquet hall, they greeted everyone along the way and came to Guo Fan and Da Liu.

After a few people met and exchanged a few pleasantries, Zhang Yang started teasing someone.

"Haozi, what are you doing here? Are you here to spy on the enemy?"

"I just came to see an old friend. In Crazy Alien, there are Bo'er and Shen Teng. I'm not afraid of anyone."

At the end of his speech, Haozi waved his hand with great momentum.

The two movies, "The Wandering Earth" and "Crazy Alien", were both released on the first day of the Lunar New Year and are genuine competitors.

"We also have Wu Jing and Shu Chang." Guo Fan raised his eyebrows and looked confident.

If we were to say who were the most popular male stars in China last year, they were Huang Bo, Shen Teng and Wu Jing.

Especially Huang Bo, the blessing of "Dying to Survive" is too great.

There are two other movies with good box office performance, "Operation Red Sea" and "Detective Chinatown". These two movies are popular, but they do not bring much blessing to the stars.

"Operation Red Sea" is a standard ensemble drama. Apart from Bona, the biggest beneficiary of the whole movie is Lin Chaoxian. In "Detective Chinatown 3", the popular character is the scumbag Chen.

No wonder Haozi is so confident.

"I just know that Liu has won big this Spring Festival."

Both films are adapted from Liu Cixin's novels.

When Liu heard what Zhang Yang said, he smiled bitterly. It didn't matter to him who won, because he had sold the copyright long ago.

Who knew copyright would become so valuable? Think about "The Three-Body Problem", the middleman who bought the copyright from him made 100 million yuan, who can you argue with?

As the group of people were chatting and laughing, time came to two o'clock. Everyone found a seat and sat down. There were three hundred seats here today, but there were only more than two hundred people, so they could sit however they wanted.

The hotel staff turned off the lights in the hall and the screening officially began.

People like Zhang Yang and Guo Fan were the least touched because they had all seen it before, but those who saw it for the first time were very excited.

They never expected that "The Wandering Earth" would be so well-made. It is truly hard science fiction, not something that is sold in guise of something else.

Among the more than 200 people who came here today, I believe that few of them appreciate the quality of this movie.

Some of them came here to give face to Zhang Yang, and some of them came here to give face to Liu Cixin.

Now that I have watched it, I am still very surprised. To be frank, if I give it a full score of 10,
Their expectation value was only 5, but the effect they saw on site was 8. How could they not be surprised?

More than two hours passed in a flash, and the lights on the scene came on again.

As the lights came on, as if it was a signal, warm applause broke out at the scene: ten seconds, twenty seconds, one minute, two minutes.

This reaction surprised Guo Fan a little.

He had some idea in his mind that the film was going to be good, but the reaction on set was beyond his expectations.

There is a cognitive error here. When a movie comes out, they will definitely be the first to watch it.

But after reading it, they couldn't come up with a reliable answer at all.

It's your own stuff, and you have to evaluate it yourself, so it doesn't seem real no matter how you look at it.

The second group of people who watched it were Zhang Yang and the people from Ocean Studio. Their vision was far beyond that of ordinary people.

The biggest shock about this movie comes from the fact that it is a domestic science fiction film, nothing else is special about it.

The group of people who came today are different. Except for that group of film critics, how many movies can the others watch and how broad their horizons can be.

They are proud of the movie itself and also proud that it is a domestic science fiction film.

Amidst applause, at Guo Fan's signal, Liu walked onto the stage with him.

On the stage, Liu's eyes were red, and he raised his left hand and held up four fingers: "Four years, a full four years. In 2015, people in China began to call for the start of the first year of science fiction.
But what was the result? Nothing came out. Now I can say with certainty that Chinese science fiction movies can finally take off this year, starting with The Wandering Earth. "

The applause at the scene was already loud, and it became even louder after Liu Cixin's tear-jerking words.

“The Wandering Earth has the weight of a historical film. It perfectly interprets the Chinese people’s feelings towards their homeland and land.

The original work only provided a background, and this is a successful re-creation, and the achievement is attributed to the production team.

As a science fiction fan, I would like to express my deep gratitude to every staff member.”

Liu Cixin did not take any credit for the work. His original novel had only 2.2 words, and all the conflicts in the movie were made up by Guo Fan himself and had nothing to do with him.

After he finished speaking, he clasped his hands together towards Guo Fan.

Guo Fan quickly became modest. The film had just come out and everything was still unknown. All he had to do was be modest, modest, and modest again.

After the two interacted on the stage, Liu walked off the stage and Guo Fan began his speech. He first thanked China Film Corporation, saying that without China Film Corporation sending them to Hollywood to study, there would be no movie.

Another person I want to thank is Zhang Yang. It was he who helped me get to Hollywood, and he generously donated money. Later, when someone withdrew their investment, he was willing to support me again.

At the end, he pointed his finger at Zhang Yang and said gratefully: "The biggest problem with Chinese science fiction films is the issue of trust. It was because of my senior brother's trust in me that this film was made possible."

Zhang Yang was not modest. He walked onto the stage and corrected Guo Fan: "You are wrong. It was not me who donated generously, but Yifei. You thanked the wrong person."

Who is Guo Fan? How could he admit his mistake? He could even say he was right even if he was wrong. He quickly explained (quibbled): "Brother, you are being estranged. My gratitude to you is also gratitude to my sister, right? Why do you have to be so clear about the difference?"

It was a very sentimental scene, but after he did this, it turned into laughter.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the audience, was also very happy. This junior brother Guo Fan was really...

Zhang Yang also chuckled.

After Guo Fan explained, he took Zhang Yang's arm and said emotionally: "What touched me most was not only the trust you had in me, but also your concern for the health of our team..."

When the people in the audience heard this, they immediately applauded again.

Many people even secretly thought that they didn't expect Zhang Yang to be so good at winning people's hearts.

After their interaction, Huang Xiaoming, Tang Yan and others as well as Liu Cixin's writer friends also came on stage to express their thoughts.

Today's preview ended here, Guo Fan and Gong Geer began to see the guests off. They were mainly seeing off Liu and his writer friends. Huang Xiaoming, Haozi and the others were still chatting with Zhang Yang in the hall.

After seeing off all the guests, the two of them returned to the hall and said to Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei, "Brother, we are leaving too."

"Don't worry, come to my villa and have a seat," Zhang Yang said, and then he led everyone to the elevator.

When they arrive at the villa, those who come here for the first time can’t help but be amazed.

Everyone sat down in the reception room near the balcony. Liu Yifei asked someone to make tea and everyone started chatting.

After talking for a while, Zhang Yang started talking to Guo Fan about business.

"How is the publicity arrangement going?"

"Some are busy. We plan to hold no less than 40 roadshows in the next ten days." Wu Jing answered directly.

"So crazy?" Liu Yifei was a little surprised. She had never done a road show like this before.

“Fortunately, the frequency of my roadshows for Wolf Warrior and Wolf Warrior 2 is no less frequent than this time. Only Director Zhang’s movies are a little easier.” Wu Jing seemed indifferent. He was used to this rhythm.

"Changchang, you're going to suffer next." Liu Yifei felt sorry for her best friend.

"It's okay, it's no big deal." Shu Chang invested 1000 million yuan in "The Wandering Earth", so it's only natural that he would put in some effort.

“Are there any specific promotional highlights?”

"We plan to gradually hype up Gongger's identity, Wu Jing, Shu Chang's identities as investors, and the matter of the drunk driving lines." Guo Fan expressed their team's ideas.

"That Transportation Committee line is sure to be a hit." Liu Yifei found this line particularly funny.

"You think it's funny, but you don't know how wronged I was at the time. I even went to the police station for this." Wu Jing was very depressed.

His words made everyone laugh.

"The essence of comedy is just like this. Audiences like to see people act ugly.

Why are so many comedians so silent in private... " Zhang Yang saw all this clearly.

"It's not easy to be funny. They are in completely different states on and off the stage." Haozi also feels the same way. He has just worked with Shen Teng recently.

Zhang Yang heard Haozi's words and suddenly had an idea: "Your publicity is not enough. You need to increase the intensity and highlight the highlights."

"What else can we add?" Guo Fan's team has already found everything they could think of.

"The Wandering Earth and Crazy Alien are both Liu Cixin's works and can be hyped up.
Wu Jing VS Huang Bo + Shen Teng, the confrontation hype is the best way to mobilize the audience's emotions. "

When the crowd heard Zhang Yang's plan, they all looked at Haozi. He wanted to hype up the two films for competition.

Doing so will benefit both films, as they will attract the audience's attention together, but other films released at the same time will be hurt.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Haozi agrees, otherwise it would be malicious fraud.

"No problem." Haozi agreed readily.

"Director Zhang, this puts a lot of pressure on me. After all, I'm not the lead actor in the movie." Wu Jing was a little worried.

Now "The Wandering Earth" is hyping him up, but once the movie is released, everyone will find out that he is not the lead actor, and they will start to have a rebellious mentality.

"As long as the movie is good, there won't be a problem. I can also use my name to lure Americans into the theaters." Zhang Yang doesn't care about these things. He has confidence in "The Wandering Earth."

"'The Wandering Earth' has quite a presence in the United States!" Haozi said a little sourly.

After Zhang Yang returned from the Golden Globe Awards, Paramount also launched the promotion of "The Wandering Earth".

His movie "Oppenheimer" was a big hit in the United States, both in terms of art and box office. After he swept the Golden Globe Awards, another movie he produced was released, and Americans were looking forward to it very much.

Guo Fan, Zhang Yang and others all smiled.

"How many movie theaters in the United States are showing "The Wandering Earth"? " Haozi couldn't help but ask.

"More than 3000." Zhang Yang said calmly.

"It's really incredible."

"The big scene hasn't started yet." Zhang Yang smiled mysteriously.

"What other big scenes are there?" Guo Fan was curious.

Zhang Yang didn't say anything. The group of people listening were eager to know the answer.

Tang Yan and Shu Chang simultaneously acted coquettishly towards Liu Yifei: "Xixi."

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Yang helplessly, and when she saw that he didn't say anything, she spoke: "Zhang Yang made a bet with Leo, Scarlett and others before the Golden Globe Awards..." She told the group the details of the bet.

Wu Jing, Shu Chang and others' eyes lit up. Oh my God, three international superstars helped promote their movie five times before it was released?
"You're awesome." After hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but give Zhang Yang a thumbs up.

“You are awesome.”
Huang Xiaoming and others also gave Zhang Yang a thumbs up. They estimated that everyone who knew about this would be convinced.

"The only pity is that the Oscars were held too late. If they were held ten days earlier, I believe the effect would be better."

The Oscars were held on the 24th, and the movie had already been released for 20 days by then and was not a big name.

This group of friends once again felt Zhang Yang's absolute confidence. He was certain that "Oppenheimer" would win big at the Oscars.

“Are there any difficulties with the film at the moment?”

"At present, the cinema chains don't have many screenings scheduled." Guo Fan didn't hesitate to answer Zhang Yang's question and directly pointed out the trouble. These things were a big deal to him, but not a big deal to Zhang Yang.

"How much did you give?"

"15%".

"So little?" Liu Yifei felt that it was not only little, but also too little.
