During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 210 "The Martian" makes a shocking debut and is full of anger!

On the 11th, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle and sunny.

Outside the solemn General Assembly Hall, nearly a hundred media outlets gathered. Countless reporters were ready to capture first-hand information.

Starting from 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there was an endless stream of guests on the red carpet. Major film and television companies took the lead, and first- and second-tier celebrities gathered together.

"So many big names."

Yang Mi held Liu Shishi's hand and when she arrived with Miss Cai and her party, she saw a group of Xiangjiang celebrities.

Boss Yinghuang, Cheng Long, Li Lianlian, Liang Jiahui

"Wait a minute, Sister K, who is that old man?"

"Mr. Wei is so generous, even Boss Zou is here?"

Ms. Cai was a little shocked. This person is already over eighty years old. Is he probably taking the initiative to support her?

As soon as a few people walked across the red carpet, they heard an exclamation outside and quickly turned around to look back.

"Is this one here too? Isn't she already dead?"

The visitor was none other than Zeng Li. As Mainland China's first Cannes Best Actress and Chinese's first Oscar Best Actress, her appearance caused a sensation among the entire media.

After all, she is a well-known Buddhist. Since becoming famous, she has devoted herself to teaching Chinese opera and has almost never appeared in public.

"Who said she is no longer in the spotlight? She just rarely shows up in public. It is normal for her to come to an occasion like today."

Yang Mi thought about the relationship between Zeng Li and Wei Jin, and she was somewhat clear about it. She didn't know if her best friend Liu Shishi had Zeng Li's luck.

Then I felt a little pity for my best friend. She and Hu Ge were both guest stars, so they couldn't walk on the red carpet with the main creators, so they lost a lot of exposure.

There was still a sea of ​​people outside the red carpet, and cars stopped and drove away.

People from Huayi also came, and a group of people walked onto the red carpet one after another.

Brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, Feng Dapao, Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Deng Chao, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, etc.

Many directors from the industry also came. After all, it is the first domestic hard-core science fiction blockbuster, and there are many people who are interested.

Tianzhuangzhuang, Jiang Wen, Chief Jia, Ning Hao, Gu Changwei, etc., and even Old Monster Xu who was filming "The Empire of Heaven" came. He really loves special effects.

Later, star artists from Shanhe Media also began to appear, including Fan Bingbing, Qiao Zhenyu, Jiang Shuying, Zhang Li, Yang Rong, Yang Xue, Chen Xiao, etc. Surprisingly, there was also an artist from Xinjiang Province among them, it was Na tie.

After consulting her parents for their opinions, she has officially signed a contract with Shanhe Media. At this time, she was looking at various celebrities with a surprised look on her face, exclaiming from time to time, which made her colleagues laugh.

People kept walking on the red carpet, and the media's cameras never stopped. It was so star-studded that it was comparable to a film festival.
-

Wei Jin led a group of main creators and left the variety show recording site at Shanhe Building and rushed directly to the Great Hall.

When they arrived at the scene, the screams and shouts were deafening.

“Baguio, Baguio”

"Hua Zai, I love you."

"."

The cameras in the hands of the media began to flash wildly, and a large number of movie fans gathered outside.

Jing Tian finally chose a pale pink floor-length dress with a high-waisted design that showed off her waist proportions. She didn't have too many decorations but was still eye-catching. The elegant skirt fluttered in the wind, exuding a charming charm.

Zhang Ziyi also dressed up very delicately today, wearing a gorgeous red dress with a swaying hem, paired with a pair of black high heels, showing her elegance.

The remaining men are much more casual, and their simple and decent suits are enough to cope with all occasions.

Since it was a red carpet show, all the main creators also cooperated with the media and put up a few poses so that reporters could have news materials.

After briefly accepting interviews with the media, the group entered the venue.

At this time, there were already a large number of industry colleagues and celebrity artists inside the venue, including Han Sanping, Wang Changtian and other big bosses from several producers who were also present.

Seeing the main creator arriving, many people in the venue looked at him appraisingly and congratulated him one after another.

Wei Jin also nodded and smiled in response. After some greetings, the premiere began soon.
-

Today's seating arrangement is also very strict. After all, there are many big shots in the system present, and China Film has done a lot of work in this regard.

In the first row were people from the General Administration, Film Bureau, Space Administration and several major state-owned film groups.

In the second row are the big bosses and directors of industry companies, such as Huayi Brothers and Feng Dapao, who all sit in this area.

Starting from the third row are the seats of celebrity artists, and there is a big difference. The higher the celebrity status, the closer the seat is to the front.

For example, Cheng Long, Li Lian and others are in the third row, and Zeng Li and other famous celebrities are also in this row.

Sugarman's group of people were seated very far back. After all, there would not be enough seats for a private invitation sent alone.

Their position further back is basically the auditorium, which shows how far back they are.

Yang Mi felt very uncomfortable. She was one year older than Jing Tian, ​​and she had already stood on the stage to share, while he was still racking his brains for an invitation letter that was placed at the back.

Yang Mi didn't feel that he was any worse than Jing Tian. Looking at Liu Shishi next to him, she even hugged Wei Jin's lap. Why didn't he have a chance? Isn't it proactive enough?

For such a large-scale event today, the host was naturally Liu Yan, the head actress of Sunward Media. At this time, she was holding a microphone to interview the main creators. Everyone was very cooperative and shared many interesting things during the film creation process.

There is also a film crew from the movie channel nearby, and it will be broadcast on TV in two days.

The first interviewer was Liu Tianwang. He took the microphone and shared the things that impressed him.

"You don't know that Director Wei's disgusted expression at that time looked like it was in my hands."

Liu Tianwang couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene.

"Potatoes are also real. I grew them myself and later packed them back for everyone."

While talking, Liu Tianwang actually took out a small potato from his pocket:

"These are the descendants of the original batch of potatoes. I don't know the exact age, haha."

Liu Tianwang's operation directly made the entire premiere scene burst into laughter. Even Liu Yan, who had received professional training and was used to big scenes, couldn't help laughing.

When it was Zhang Ziyi's turn to speak, she focused on the difficulties of filming.

"Training is really hard. Tiantian and I, two girls, bear more than ten kilograms of weight every day, and our arms have become thicker."

"It's the same over there at the base. It's deserted. There's strong winds and sand every day, and my skin is all rough."

Several main creators spoke one after another, and Liu Yan quickly handed the microphone to Wei Jin.

"When this movie was originally shot, many people were not optimistic about it, but I want to say that just over two months ago, Shenzhou VII successfully launched into space, and Chinese people also completed the first spacewalk. This means that there is nothing we cannot do. Arrived.

Even if we can't do it now, as long as we keep moving in this direction, one day we can. "Many viewers in the audience were also shocked by Wei Jin's speech, and what followed was overwhelming applause. Yes, more than a year ago, who could have imagined that Shenzhou VII would take off? -

As the lights gradually dimmed and the movie began to show, fans sitting in the back row began to discuss in hushed voices.

"The wait has finally come. I heard that Liu Tianwang plays most of the scenes in this movie."

"I don't know how much the box office will be at this global release. If it doesn't go as planned, I guess no one will make science fiction movies in the future, right?"

"It shouldn't be bad. The physical book of the novel has sold nearly four million copies in China, and it is said that it has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide."

"I'm afraid that if the film is different from the novel, people won't like to read it."

"Shh, keep your voice down, it's about to begin."

The familiar dragon logo flashed past, and everyone on the scene stared at the big screen.

As the plot unfolds, the members of the Mars team encounter a storm, and the botanist played by Liu Tianwang is stranded on Mars.

A self-rescue operation took place on Mars.

"The visual effects are so shocking, it deserves to be a blockbuster with a cost of 4 million."

"It feels like every frame is burning money."

"Director Wei is really great. There are so many incredible scenes in the original work, and they were all shot very well."

Many viewers at the scene began to talk, and people from the space agency and the General Administration also began to whisper to each other. They were discussing whether the operations in the movie had a basis in reality.

"Xiao Gang, can we make this kind of film?"

Wang Zhonglei was also shocked. He originally thought it was just like "Painted Skin", but he didn't expect that paired with the vastness of space, the effect would be so good.

"If you hit a thunderstorm, don't even think about it. The cycle is too long and the gains outweigh the losses."

Feng Dapao hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Zhongjun spoke. He still had a clear understanding. What was the purpose of making a movie? To make money, making this kind of film is too risky.

"I said, this guy Wei Jin is really awesome. He really got it done. I'm convinced by his level."

Jiang Wen had a straightforward personality and started chatting with Ning Hao. He thought he couldn't do this.

"Hey, he's the only one who can play it. When I saw those hundreds of pages of footage, I felt numb."

It was also the first time for the main creators to see the complete film. Although they knew the outline of the story, they still felt shocked.

"Tiantian, I really didn't expect that the results we produced were so good. The training we did was really worth it."

Zhang Ziyi whispered to Jing Tian that she had a hunch that with the film's global release, she would definitely be able to make a breakthrough in Hollywood.

"Yeah, brother is so awesome."

Jing Tian's eyes were sparkling at this time, and his face was full of admiration.

"Lao Wei's movies are really great, but my movies are just miserable."

"Women Are Not Bad" has been released today, and Zhou Xun is no longer able to complain about the publisher Bernard Fang. Choosing such a day is really iron-clad.

"By the way, Xiao Ming, why didn't you ask for a role then?"

"Pull him down. We all know Mr. Wei's character. If he thinks it's appropriate, he will naturally find trouble."

Although Huang Xiaoming has some regrets, he is still relatively open-minded. At least he has already collaborated on "Xiu Chun Knife".

Not far away, Zeng Li listened to the discussion around him and felt a touch of pride in his heart. This is my man.

Soon, the two-hour screening ended, and there was a huge round of applause. The leaders of the General Administration had already stood up and were about to speak, but the applause still did not stop.

“The development of the industry is inseparable from everyone here, and I hope you can release more commercial blockbusters and contribute to the prosperity of the film market.

Science fiction movies like "The Martian" are of great help to the foundation of the industry. I hope that more colleagues will invest in this field in the future. The General Administration promises to provide strong support in this regard."
-

The main creators were interviewed again, and this time the topic was more about director Wei Jin.

"Director Wei, the movie cost 4 million, do you think it can be repaid?"

This question also made many people at the scene prick up their ears. Is Wei Jin really so confident?

"First of all, the movie's product placement and pre-roll ads have sold 1.2 million."

Many companies in the industry present have become jealous. These big advertising investors are too optimistic about Wei Jin. They really don't regard money as money.

"Secondly, there are no cultural barriers for science fiction movies. I am very confident that this global release will not be bad at the box office."

After a pause, Wei Jin looked around and continued:

"Finally, I believe in the potential of the domestic film market. I think we can basically make a return on the domestic market alone."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. The production cost was 4 million, minus the 1.2 million that had been recovered, and the remaining 2.8 million had to be recovered at the domestic box office. Is this a prediction that the box office is going to reach 7 million?

Before the reporter could continue asking questions, Wei Jin gave his own explanation:

"The total domestic box office last year was 46 billion, and this year it is expected to be no less than 55 billion. I think we have entered the era of 5 million movies. It is not difficult to get more."

These words made many people in the industry nod frequently. The development in the past two years has been so fast that many people have not yet figured it out.

"Director Wei, you said before that special effects blockbusters can promote the development of the industry, but the special effects of this movie were produced in Hollywood, and the money was made by foreign companies. How can we start talking about promoting the development of the industry?"

This reporter's question was a bit sharp. Many leaders, including Han Sanping, looked at Wei Jin.

"Only 60% of the special effects of this movie were produced in Hollywood, and the rest were independently completed by domestic Shanhe Ink. Although our special effects technology started late, we are already working hard to catch up."

Wei Jin stared at the reporter in front of him with burning eyes, Southern Metropolis Daily, so it's not surprising.

"In addition, I want to tell you that because of our continuous participation in special effects production in the past few years, Shanhe Ink's special effects technology has made great progress. To put it bluntly, we can complete the special effects of "The Martian" independently!"

Many people in the industry can't believe that the special effects company Wei Jin worked on has already reached this level?

Many directors who are interested in special effects blockbusters are beginning to wonder when to go to Shanhe Ink Painting to inspect it.

The reporter's face turned red, but he still said reluctantly:

"Mr. Wei, do you have any basis for what you say?"

His words also resonated with many people. These people felt that Wei Jin was talking about spectacle. How could domestic special effects reach this level? I have to say that in this era, there are really many people who worship foreign things.

Seeing the questioning looks from many people in the audience, Wei Jin decided to speak directly with the facts.

"Of course, I will make another sci-fi blockbuster next year, and all the special effects will be completed independently in China. You may wish to wait and see."

For a moment, the whole hall was shocked!
