Chapter 419: "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" Premiere

"Well, Director Jiang's presence here really brings honor to our humble place!"

In Zhuhai Gongbei, the filming location of "The Man from Macau", Wang Jing expressed his welcome in Mandarin with a slightly strange accent.

Because he had basically communicated with people in Mandarin over the years in the north, and now he was in the mainland, he did not speak Cantonese.

Jiang Heng first shook hands with Wang Jing, and then greeted Zhou Runfa, Xie Tingfeng, Jiang Yan and others.

After a few pleasantries, we started directly into the shooting process.

Yu Dong originally thought that it would take at least an hour.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Heng passed it in one shot without even taking five minutes.

Wang Jing had an expression of admiration on his face, "I used to think that Chow Yun Fat was the best (acting), but now it seems that Director Jiang is the god of acting!"

Zhou Runfa said hurriedly: "Hey, how can I compare with Director Jiang? I can only act by myself, while Director Jiang can both direct and act, and he is the best in each aspect!"

Xie Tingfeng also said in a low voice, "Director Jiang's acting skills are indeed worth learning from!"

Jiang Heng laughed out loud. Even though he knew that what these people said was a little bit false, he was still very happy.

"No, no, that's really an exaggeration. I'm just here to make a cameo appearance. If we want the movie to be a big hit, we have to rely on you guys!"

Wang Jing said seriously, "Director Jiang, you are being modest. Your three-minute cameo can at least help the film sell an extra three hundred million yuan!"

Everyone said that what Wang Jing said made sense, and Zhou Runfa even asked everyone to make a good effort to make the film gross over 1 billion.

At this moment, Zhou Runfa has not made any movie that has grossed over 8.6 billion yuan. The previous best-performing movie, Let the Bullets Fly, grossed million yuan, but that was a work by Jiang Wen.

He is really looking forward to "The Man from Macau" to have good results. Even if it doesn't necessarily exceed 1 billion, at least it will break the box office record of "Let the Bullets Fly".

With this idea in mind, Chow Yun-fat worked really hard in the filming of subsequent films.

After his guest appearance, Jiang Heng took a stroll around Zhuhai, treated the crew members to a big meal, and then returned to Beijing to continue filming.

During this period, online promotional activities related to "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" have been launched one after another, and most of them are centered around special ticket prices of 9.9 and 19.9.

In 2011, people in mainland China were not yet wealthy, so the discounted fares were really attractive.

Many cash-strapped university scholars and young white-collar workers rushed to buy tickets, and some people even came up with a guide to buying tickets.

It’s a pity that there are too few movie tickets at these two prices, and most people still get the 39.9 yuan one.

At this moment, the pre-sale box office of "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" has exceeded 100 million yuan, which once again broke the record of the fastest box office revenue of 100 million yuan in the mainland film market.

Pre-sales exceeded 100 million before the release, which would have been unimaginable a few years ago!
Some media said that pre-sales exceeding 100 million yuan is only the ticket issuance limit of the group buying website, not the pre-sale limit of the film.

If all the cinema chains and movie theaters across the country cooperate with group-buying websites, pre-sale box office revenues of, let alone 100 million, even 200 million or 300 million are possible.

The audience actually felt that it made sense and expected that the box office of "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" would not be bad, and might even be higher than the previous film!

After all, before the release of "Honghuang: Houyi Shooting the Sun", no one knew what the so-called Honghuang movie would be like.

At this point, too many people wanted to watch the exciting scene of the "War of Liches".

Some wealthy people and second-generation rich people who are not short of money rushed to buy tickets for the premiere of "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven".

If you can’t get one online, you have to buy it at a high price, and the price has been driven up to more than three thousand yuan per piece.

In an apartment in Beijing, Ni Ni stood at the window and answered the phone.

"Let me ask for you. You know how hard it is to get these tickets!"

On the other end of the phone, a sweet girl said, "Nini, I know you're the best, there must be a way. You also know how much I like Director Jiang, I just hope to have a chance to take a photo with him...!" Ni Nixin said, "I haven't even taken one before!"

She had met Jiang Heng before when she attended an event.

It’s just that the movie hasn’t been released yet, so I feel a little lacking in confidence to call myself an actor. Jiang Heng has been busy, so we have never taken a photo together.

"Well, I can only say I'll try my best. Okay, I'll make a call first and get back to you immediately if there's anything!"

"Okay, Nini, I love you so much!"

After hanging up the phone, Ni Ni looked helpless.

The premiere event of "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" was held by Bonna Pictures, and she had never dealt with Bonna before.

"The Flowers of War" is scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday, but the promotion and marketing activities have not yet started, and she has never had any dealings with Bonar.

After much deliberation, Ni Ni mustered up the courage to call Zhang Yimou.

The latter was quite surprised. After hearing Ni Ni's request, he smiled and said that he just happened to have one and could give it to Ni Ni. Then he told her a few words about walking on the red carpet and being interviewed on the day of the premiere.

Zhang Yimou was bound to attend the premiere of "Hong Huang: The Fall of Heaven", and his female companion was Ni Ni. The two of them were not just there to boost Jiang Heng's momentum, but also to promote "The Flowers of War".

Although for this film, Zhang Yimou cares more about its artistic quality and whether it wins awards.

But with such an investment, we also have to take the box office into consideration!
Ni Ni naturally agreed to everything. After hanging up the phone, she called her college roommate and best friend back and told her about the ticket.

The latter was extremely excited and praised Ni Ni, then began to imagine what he would say and how he would take pictures when he met Jiang Heng.

Ni Ni really couldn't stand this man's "wild ideas", so she explained the details of how to give the tickets and hung up the phone.

He immediately sat on the sofa and thought about his future development.

After filming "The Flowers of War", she only got a supporting role in the movie. It might be an exaggeration to say that her future was bleak, but she was indeed unsure.

Zhang Yimou had mentioned her subsequent filming plans before, but it seems that there is no role suitable for her.

And in iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, if you want to stand out and become a big star, you still have to rely on Director Jiang’s appreciation!

Ni Ni secretly said: "I have to make Director Jiang remember me!"

In the next few days, she discussed with her agent what to wear for the premiere of "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven".

After some selection, she finally chose a deep V evening dress, and Ni Ni looked radiant in it.

Although he has no films released yet, he already has a star quality.

"It's so beautiful, Sister Nini. Director Jiang will definitely like it!" said the young female assistant.

People like them share the same success with the stars, and they also hope that Ni Ni can be promoted by Jiang Heng so that they can rise with the tide.

The agent said that he must take a photo with Jiang Heng and must get his WeChat account.

After adding her as a friend, he would send her a photo of the two of them. Just based on her looks, temperament, and dress, Jiang Heng couldn't help but be moved.

Always look at it with more respect and take care of it!

Ni Ni naturally had the same idea, and she secretly cheered herself up in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the premiere of "Hong Huang: The Destruction of Heaven". The agent and assistant first sent Ni Ni to the company, and then took a car with Zhang Yimou to the Olympic venue.

After getting out of the car and entering the venue, Ni Ni took off her down jacket and put on a deep V dress. She stepped onto the red carpet amid countless exclamations.
