Chapter 642 [68] The mountain eagle finally meets!

August 2006, 5, Imperial Capital International Airport.

Even if it is a private plane, in China, it has to park at a public airport for easy control.

"Jia Jia, hurry up!"

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Yu gained a lot of young fans because of the movie "Extraction".

Yan Mingxiu and Luo Jia are two of those high school students. They even set up a Chen Yu fan club in the capital. While attending school, they also often participate in offline gatherings.

In China today, the fan culture of celebrities is gradually taking shape.

The entertainment trends of Japan and South Korea have finally reached first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, among which high school and college students are the most popular.

This is an unstoppable development trend, just like the confrontation between men and women on the Internet in the future.

It is a kind of "self-awakening" that will inevitably form when the economy, culture and industry develop to a certain level!
"Jia Jie, do you know when Brother Yu will arrive?"

A member of the fan club asked Luo Jia who had arrived late. Luo Jia brushed her hair against her cheeks, panting a little and her face flushed: "I don't know either. It's a private plane. It should be here soon!"

"Private jet? Brother Yu has bought a plane?"

"No, it's from Paramount Pictures, the investor of Mission: Impossible 3!"

You have to admit that many little girls who are star-chasing in high school may not be very good at studying, but they can tell you everything about the stars, their information, schedules, even their awards, family members, etc.

Some even know their assistants and companies clearly.

This may be the basic operation of being a fan in a fan club.

Many fans may know more than their agents. For example, Chen Yu’s current domestic agent, Ji Qiannan, may not be as knowledgeable as those fans who pay attention to Chen Yu’s whereabouts and news every day.

"I heard that this time, in addition to Yu Ge, Tom Cruise, Maggie Q, and Hoffman will also be here!"

"The crew of Mission: Impossible 3 made a collective appearance in the capital!"

"It seems like this is the first time that Hollywood has held a premiere in China with such fanfare!"

"It's all because of Brother Yu!"

"No, China Film Group also invested in it, and they came to China to shoot the film. More than half an hour of the movie is set in China!"

"Wow, really?"

"Yeah, didn't you know? There was a report on the daily news that Tom Cruise and Yu had been filming together for several months!"

"..."

Many young girls stood on both sides of the airport passage, holding various cheering signs, waiting for the arrival of Chen Yu and others.

There are indeed some experts in the fan circle.

Even the flight itinerary of private jets is clear.

But in addition to the little girls, there are also many fans of Chen Yu and Tom Cruise in the capital.

Both boys and girls.

Anyway, the exit passages of the entire Imperial Capital International Airport were now filled with people, making the airport completely blocked.

Compared with the last time Chen Yu and Liu Yifei made their official announcement, the fanfare was even bigger.

Because the domestic entertainment industry is currently developing very rapidly, with the massive economic boom and Mango TV's massive promotion, more and more people are chasing stars.

It’s just that the current fan culture has just emerged, so there are no extreme brainless fans like in later generations!

Many industrial chains related to star chasing have not yet been formed.

They are all little girls and boys who like to chase stars. They have money and free time, and some even skip classes just to see the stars.

"Out!"

"Here I come, Brother Yu!!!"

"Brother Tom!"

"Oh oh oh……"

Chen Yu, who had just walked into the airport corridor, heard shouts one after another.

The noise was so loud that it almost blew up the entire airport.

Even though Chen Yu was used to this kind of scene, he was still shocked by the huge crowds that came to pick him up at the airport.

All people.

In addition to those holding his signs, there were also many Tom Cruise fans.

"..."

Tom Cruise, who was playing on his phone with his head down, raised his head stimulated by the sound.

In an instant, he was shocked by the scene and the flow of people in front of him.

He glanced at Chen Yu standing beside him and said jokingly, "Chan, is this how popular you are in your own country?"

This is too explosive.

“No, many of them are your fans!”

"mine?"

Although Tom Cruise knew that he was very famous in China, he still felt incredible when he saw so many young men and women holding his signs.

Even in the United States, he probably isn't that popular right now.

This is already a very grand airport welcoming ceremony.

"Oh~~"

Tom Cruise suddenly laughed happily and waved to many people present.

This time, the whole scene became even more sensational.

The current Sino-US relations are still in the honeymoon period in the eyes of the outside world.

Many Hollywood stars and sports stars are shocked by the popularity when they come to China for the first time, because there are so many people in China. Even if there is only a small group of star-chasing people, when gathered at the airport they can form a very large group.

"I didn't feel this kind of atmosphere the last time I came to China?"

Tom Cruise smiled at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu said calmly, "Because our filming schedule needed to be kept secret at that time, and now, the bigger the noise, the better!"

Many of these people are hired by the publicity and distribution companies just to highlight the grand event of "Mission: Impossible 3" coming to China, so that the media can then create hype everywhere.

So the airport obviously also gave a heads up.

"Brother Yu!!"

"Brother Yu, give me an autograph!"

"Tom..."

As we got closer, we saw a lot of people shouting Chen Yu and Tom Cruise's names. It was probably the first time that Tom Cruise felt how popular he was in China, as he was taking pictures with his phone.

Chen Yu was signing autographs for fans along the row.

After taking the photos, Tom Cruise can also sign autographs there.

At this time, some fans also began to ask for photos.

Later, Chen Yu simply took out his mobile phone and took a selfie with the fans present.

Then the whole crew took a group photo with the fans.

Tom Cruise followed suit and took a photo with his fans. It can be seen that this guy was very happy. After all, he never expected that so many people would come to pick him up at the airport in a foreign country.

The main thing is that there is a "local" around him, so even if he has to pretend, he has to pretend to be enthusiastic.

“I’ll post the photos on my blog when the time comes, and you can pick them up for yourself!”

"There's no time for autographs, we have to rush to the premiere tonight!" "Please understand!"

Chen Yu clasped his hands together and spoke loudly to the fans present.

It was obvious that everyone present understood and they cheered as they sent the "Mission Impossible 3" crew onto the business car that came to pick them up at the airport.

"Wow, that's hard to believe. I always thought there were no fans in China who chased stars!"

Prejudice can kill people, even if Tom Cruise has been to China.

After everyone sat down, they started chatting.

They just flew in from South Korea. After finishing the premiere in Seoul, they will be on a two-day trip to China.

Tonight is the capital, tomorrow is the Magic City, in the afternoon I have to go to Hong Kong, and after Taiwan the day after tomorrow, I have to go to Japan.

The itinerary is very intensive.

And tomorrow night at midnight, "Mission Impossible 3" will also be released across the country at midnight!
"Mission Impossible 3" has been released in North America for 4 days, and the box office for the first weekend was released this morning.

It grossed 8757 million U.S. dollars in three days, far exceeding the 2 million of "Mission Impossible 7880".

Ranked 13th on the North American box office chart in its first weekend, the performance was in line with Paramount's expectations for the film, so everyone was so relaxed that after getting in the car, they were still chatting about Chinese culture and customs.

As for other regions, such as some European countries where the film has already been released, the total box office has just exceeded 2000 million.

Including pre-sales, North America has reached 1.3 million and Europe 5430 million!
In Asia, the film has just been released in several countries including South Korea and Singapore, but the total pre-sales have already exceeded 5000 million!
Among them, China, South Korea and Japan made the greatest contributions.

That is to say, as of today, after four days of global release, Mission: Impossible 4 has already grossed over 3 million yuan worldwide.

Including pre-sales, the total box office will be over 2.5 million!

For a Hollywood commercial film whose IP has just been revealed, this is already an extremely brilliant start.

If nothing unexpected happens, the global box office of this movie will set a new record for the "Mission Impossible" series.

"Mission: Impossible 2" grossed 5.45 million U.S. dollars worldwide. Both the midnight box office and the first weekend box office performed much better than "Mission: Impossible 2", so it should not be a problem for the global box office to exceed 6 million.

As for how high it will eventually reach, this depends on the subsequent trends of local markets.

At least in North America, it has been a huge success.

Chen Yu's first Hollywood blockbuster has achieved such outstanding results, which is definitely a starting point that almost no one can reach.

Moreover, although Chen Yu played the second male lead, after watching the movie, many North American audiences' discussions and feedback about him were much more intense than those about Tom Cruise.

The entire Rotten Tomatoes review, whether it is the media or the audience's comments, is very positive, with almost 0 negative reviews.

But Tom Cruise is just the opposite.

The reason for this contrast is that, first, Tom Cruise did not perform well, and second, he is too famous in North America.

There are many of his haters and viewers who are fed up with watching him.

Suddenly, a Chinese man appeared who could fight, fly a plane, drive a car and do everything, and the audience felt a sense of freshness.

Furthermore, this role played by Chen Long has some connection with the previous "Escapades", which has once again deepened the impression of Chen Yu for the audience who like the movie "Escapades".

This is the effect of 1+1>2.

In the past few days, the number of Google searches for Chen Yu's name has skyrocketed dozens of times compared to usual, which is enough to show that his popularity in North America has begun to rise in a fermentation-like manner.

This is the influence of a commercial blockbuster.

Although "Mission Impossible 3" has not achieved the same success as Marvel in later generations, making the characters famous all over the world with just one film.

But it is still possible to quickly increase Chen Yu's fame in North America.

……

"coming!"

Reporters and media who had been waiting outside the entrance of China Film Association's Anle Xindong'an Cinema swarmed over to greet them when they saw the business car carrying the Mission: Impossible 3 crew.

This was of course arranged by China Film Group.

China Film Group has made thorough preparations for the premiere in the capital.

Not only was there an interpreter, but the current top leaders of China Film Group, Yang Buting and Han Sanpin, also personally met him at the door.

Of course, there are also many invited guests, film critics, etc.

"Director Yang, Third Master!"

After Chen Yu got out of the car, he took the initiative to greet Yang Buting and Han Sanpin.

Chen Yu had met Yang Buting once when he was in Hollywood before, and they talked a lot about it. However, this was the first time that Chen Yu met Han Sanpin, the future head of China Film Group, Zuoshan Diao.

Just like the photos I saw in my previous life, he looked like a very honest man, but the development of the next ten years of movies was led by him.

This person plays an extremely important role in the Chinese film industry.

"Chen Yu!"

Han Sanpin laughed and held Chen Yu's hand enthusiastically, looking like he was reluctant to let go.

"Finally I met the real person, haha!"

Although he was speaking to Chen Yu, he was actually looking at Yang Buting beside him.

"Third Master, you are joking. I should have come to visit you a long time ago!"

"Let's talk later!"

Han Sanpin patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and greeted Brother Tang and the others beside him.

Surrounded by the media, a group of people walked into the New Dong'an Cinema, which Chen Yu was very familiar with.

Many of Chen Yu’s films have premiered in this cinema.

Including "Kara is a Dog".

After all, this cinema is indeed the highest standard in the capital, and China Film Group also has shares in several film and television and distribution companies.

Chen Yu and the crew of "Mission Impossible 3" went on stage, while Yang Buting and Han Sanpin sat in the first row below. It was a routine premiere interview session, and apart from Chen Yu, the person who asked the most questions was of course Tom Cruise.

Because of Chen Yu's participation, China Film Group obviously attached great importance to this film, and almost all the media in the imperial capital were present.

And needless to say, tomorrow there will be a flood of reports.

Film critics have all certified that China Film Corporation has put a lot of effort into the premiere of "Mission: Impossible 3". It looks very formulaic, but in fact the standard is much higher than that of "Escape Plan", which was hosted by Chen Yu himself before.

First of all, there are so many media outlets. Although Chen Yu also spent money on publicity and promotion, China Film Group made the request while Bona Film Group was cooperating. These are two completely different things.

There is still a big difference between the two.

As for the publicity and reporting, it's on a different level. No matter how much money you spend, it won't carry as much weight as a word from China Film.

Although the pre-sale of "Mission: Impossible 3" in China has only been open for 4 days and the box office is expected to exceed 2100 million, after today's premiere, absolutely everyone in China knows that "Mission: Impossible 3" starring Chen Yu and Tom Cruise is about to be released.

Currently, only China Film Group can achieve the goal of being so pervasive that the news can be seen everywhere.

It's not just about having money.

"Hahaha!"

The atmosphere at the premiere was very harmonious, and with Chen Yu as the lead actor, there was almost no dull moment at the premiere.

The premiere in the capital, which lasted more than two hours, ended very quickly.

The feature film of "Mission Impossible 3" has finally been released to meet the Chinese mainland audience!
Chen Yu sat with Han Sanpin and Yang Buting and watched the Chinese version of Mission: Impossible 3. He didn't know whether it had been cut or deleted. Chen Yu had watched it countless times in the past few days and was already very familiar with the plot.

He could tell which plots had been deleted or changed just by taking a quick look.

But what surprised him was that, unlike the previous life's "Mission: Impossible 3" which had a lot of cuts, this life's "Mission: Impossible 3" actually maintained a rare consistent sync with North America.

Not a single cut!

I don’t know if it’s because I’m the leading actor or if it’s the butterfly effect!
