superstar director

Chapter 549 Premiere (2)

On July 28, the Chinese venue for the world premiere of "Rage and Rescue" was held at the Wanda Cinema in the Imperial Capital!
In the afternoon of that day, a high-power searchlight was temporarily installed in an open space at the entrance of the theater, and the beams shot into the sky, illuminating the crowd like daytime.The red carpet has been laid in advance, sporadic media are in place, chatting with each other, discussing the latest news, and in the free area, the audience is in small groups, and everyone who knows or does not know can chat for a few words , and some people held up homemade cards with the words "seeking tickets" written on them.

Zhou Lu managed to squeeze out of the crowd and found a slightly looser space, and finally she was able to catch her breath.She glanced around and smiled, "I really didn't expect there to be so many people."

Beside her is a man who looks like 26 or [-] years old, with an ordinary appearance, and a few pimples standing on his face rebelliously, highlighting his own sense of existence.

The man looked around with a surprised expression on his face.

"Hasn't Ning Sheng quit the music scene for a long time? He is still so popular in China now? If there is no news about our Korean artistes for a year or two, he would have already become a past character that no one pays attention to!"

Zhou Lu shook her head, and said, "Ning Sheng is different from ordinary artists, compared with you Korean artists, um, in fact, there is really no Korean artist who can compare with Ning Sheng, anyway, with Ning Sheng's achievements and status, regardless of his hidden How long has it been back, how long has there been no new works, as long as he appears, or his works appear, they are the works that attract the most attention in China, and even in the whole of Asia. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your compatriots in Korea.”

Having said that, Zhou Lu suddenly laughed.

I have witnessed Ning Sheng go from the premiere of her first movie where all the fans came to support her, to the crowds on the red carpet at the premiere. , especially the enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene shocked this friend who came from South Korea. As a Chinese, she was even more proud.

The man next to her with pimples on his face is named Jin Duanmin, a South Korean, who is currently working in China and is applying for a green card in China.The two met on the Internet, they are both Douban's Douban oil, they are both movie lovers and Douban film critics, and they are in the same group. People in this group discussed which movie to watch first.

Two-thirds of the people chose to watch "Pen Fairy 5" first. After all, this is a strong alliance of filmmakers from Japan and South Korea. Whether it is a movie genre or the "Pen Fairy" series, horror fans in Asia They are all well-known in the group.And it just so happens that most of the people in their group are fans of this type of cult theme.

And because of Ning Sheng's relationship, Zhou Lu naturally chose "Rage Rescue", and this Jin Duan Min also chose "Rage Rescue", and he traveled from other places to the imperial capital to attend the premiere of "Rage Rescue" Li, Zhou Lu somewhat understood the meaning of this——Jin Duanmin was interested in her.

This time Jin Duan Min came to the premiere of "Rage Rescue" in the imperial capital.Part of it is literally, and part of it is bigger.It should be looking for opportunities to get in touch with her more, to see if there can be further development.

But Zhou Lu didn't reject it, after all, she was not too young.Moreover, she still has some affection for Jin Duan Min.

After Jin Duanmin heard Zhou Lu's words, he couldn't help asking, "Ning Sheng has a high status in Asia. I know that Ning Sheng has made great achievements in both music and movies, but fans are forgetful, right? Look at TVXQ, once the most popular male group in our country. Although it has disbanded now, in various music competitions, the names of those new boy groups and girl groups are all there. Many of the fans of these newcomers are transferred from the fan group of TVXQ. Yes, this is like a person who likes the new and dislikes the old, there are really very few fans who stay the same!"

From the premiere ceremony where a group of fans came to support the venue, to the grand occasion on the red carpet scene of the premiere ceremony.There were even quite a few people begging for tickets with signs. This change was not so easy for a director.In particular, the starring role of this movie is not a famous Chinese actor, but an American actor who is also a bit out of date. These people on the scene, they must not come for a out-of-date American actor, right?
"It's not that you don't know that Ning Sheng is not an ordinary star director. The two groups that he has led, Chaoyang Group and Super Boys, are all super groups in the world, and the few albums released by him are also all famous. It has achieved diamond sales, and the number of various music awards has been countless, and it has single-handedly pushed away the popular NLZ girl group, but in this world, anyone who listens to music, no matter what you like Pop music, rock music, personal music, group music, it is absolutely impossible not to know Ning Sheng! As for the achievements in the movies, you can look at the top ten box office rankings of Chinese movies and the top ten rankings of Asian movie box office rankings. Needless to say, Ning Sheng is different from other artists, he is always the most special and the most dazzling! No matter whether he has a work or not, as long as he appears, he is the center of everyone's attention , the focus of the spotlight!"

Jin Duanmin nodded, the expression in his eyes was still a bit incomprehensible, yes, he is from South Korea, not from China, and the special fan economy in the Korean entertainment industry, and the replacement of idol stars like assembly line work, naturally he couldn't understand Ning Sheng How different is such a superstar from those idol stars!
For foreigners like them, knowing that the name Ning Sheng started from Chaoyang Group, or Ning Sheng's music, and the global farewell tour held when he retired, and for Ning Sheng's directorship, it is "Dragon Inn" , "Swordsman" two parts, as well as "Face Changing", "Hurricane Rescue", "Thunderbolt Angel" and other box office bombs that have caused a wave of movie viewing, but because Ning Sheng has very few activities abroad, especially in other Asian countries Well, many fans in other Asian countries have never seen Ning Sheng at all, so the understanding of Ning Sheng's influence comes from their own TV and media. With fewer reports in the newspapers, it will naturally feel like Ning Sheng has passed away.

However, in Jin Duanmin's view, Ning Sheng is still very popular even in China, but the film is compared to the work, the story, and the star actor. Movies with big stars suck.

He knows the cast of "Rage and Rescue". Emma Roberts, an American movie star who has disappeared from the world film industry for several years because of having a child, although she is well-known in China because she is Ning Sheng's wife, but this kind of popularity It is impossible to cause such a grand event at the scene. The audience will not buy tickets to enter the movie because of your fame, so this situation at the scene can only be caused by the director Ning Sheng.

"However, the current situation is really beyond my expectation."

Zhou Lu said, looking around, "It probably has something to do with the huge publicity before. Even if everyone doesn't like Ning Sheng's new movie, under such a huge publicity campaign, there will always be people who will come and see it." of."

At this point, Jin Duanmin regained his energy and hurriedly said, "Yeah, I originally planned to watch "Pen Xian 5" first, but I was confused by the advertisement every day, and I could see it everywhere I went. I have been tossing around for a month. Afterwards, I thought I should watch this movie first, to see what Ning Sheng's new movie is like. I hope I won't disappoint everyone.

Zhou Lu shook her head and said with a smile, "Since his debut, Ning Cheng has never failed, and he has never disappointed his supporters. I believe he will surprise everyone this time as well!"

When Jin Duanmin heard Zhou Lu say this, he felt a little apprehensive: She seems to admire that director too much, doesn't she?Almost gave him a myth.

So, he couldn't help but said: "He is a Chinese director. First of all, he should make good Asian movies. He always makes some foreign movies. It's a little bit upside down. If he concentrates on Asian movies, he may make good movies. The quality of the movies produced will be higher, maybe there is a chance to catch up with a long-established director like Zhang Yimou."

Zhou Lu stopped talking, but she didn't take Jin Duan Min's words seriously: catch up with those big directors who have been famous for a long time?No need, in her opinion, Ning Sheng is already a great director, and he is also the number one director in Asia.Among his movies, whether it is a local martial arts movie or a western gunfight action movie, which one is not a hit all over the world? How many so-called great directors can do this?

It's just that he seldom makes literary films that can win professional awards such as Oscars and Golden Tripod Awards, but aren't commercial films also good films?Who said that winning an award must be better than a movie with a high box office?Besides, she believes that Ning Cheng just doesn't want to make those award-winning movies for the time being, and when Ning Sheng wants to make one in the future, he will definitely be able to make a work of art that sweeps all kinds of awards!

However, she could also hear the jealousy in Jin Duanmin's words, which made her somewhat proud.

After Zhou Lu stopped talking, the two had nothing to say for a while, so Jin Duan Min had no choice but to find something to say, "By the way, do you have a ticket?" He said, pointing to the audience holding signs begging for tickets.

"certainly,"

Zhou Lu chuckled, and then took out two tickets from her small bag, "I don't dare to promise you to come here without a ticket."

Because many people asked for tickets, half of the tickets for the premiere of "Rage and Rescue" were kept for themselves and not sold, and were distributed to the media, crew creators and invitees. Only half of the tickets were sold, so like Ning Sheng before The films at the premiere are different, and tickets are tight this time.

And the two tickets in Zhou Lu's hand were given away for free - after all, she is not only a celebrity on Douban, but also a professional film critic in two domestic media, so she was included in the premiere ceremony. is normal.In other words, Zhou Lu never had to buy a ticket for the premiere, because she always had free tickets from the organizer.

As soon as Zhou Lu took out the ticket, a sharp-eyed buddy came over to him immediately, "Girl, can you sell this ticket? I'll give you a hundred, and I want it all!"

Before Zhou Lu could react, another person came over immediately, "You can say one hundred? Girl, sell it to me, one hundred and fifty, I want it!"

When that person saw someone grabbing tickets, he gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Two hundred tickets!"

The two fought over each other, and in the end Zhou Lu invited the two of them away—her monthly salary was close to [-] yuan, which was not bad.

And just talking and chatting, scrambling and scrambling here, there are more and more people on the scene. The media have gathered from two or three scattered to large groups. The guns and cannons have been set up, and the host of the red carpet ceremony has also been in place.

After the host talked nonsense, he announced that the red carpet ceremony at the premiere of "Rage and Rescue" had officially started, and the guests began to enter.

The southern section of Jianguo Road, where Wanda International Cinema is located, has already applied for a two-hour traffic control in advance, and the local government tolerantly chose to approve it after considering various opinions. During this period, the road near the movie theater has turned into a pedestrian street, except for the reception vehicles arranged by the organizer, no other vehicles are allowed to enter.

Now, an extended Great Wall is slowly driving in, and stops when it reaches the entrance of the red carpet. The driver opens the door and walks out quickly. The woman in the dress bent down and got out of the car, stepped onto the red carpet in a dignified manner, with a slight smile on her lips.

"Fan Binbin!"

Some fans had already called out her name, and the crowd was surging, but the security measures at the scene were well done, and these small crowds could not break through the security line of defense, and were firmly nailed to the audience area.

"Binbin, I love you! Ah!" Some movie fans yelled, and some little girls who were so close to their idols for the first time even screamed, and they looked like they were about to cry. It can be seen that this young master Fan The popularity in China is high.

At the same time, at the premiere of "Rage to the Rescue" in the United States, Emma's appearance also aroused cheers from the fans at the scene!
"Emma Roberts, I LOVE YOU!" An American man held up Emma's poster, and his loud shout made the atmosphere even more heated. There were not only fans from the United States, but also some black-haired and black-eyed fans. Chinese people will also hold Emma's posters to support, but seeing that they are wearing Ning Sheng's support T-shirts, it cannot be seen that this is Ning Sheng's fans who came to support Ning Sheng to support Emma.

Because of the love between Ning Sheng and Emma, ​​the fans of the two are almost like a family now. During the activities of the two, it is often seen that the fans of the two come to cheer for each other.It is very touching!
With Emma's appearance, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, and other friends in the circle also helped out on the scene, which made the North American fans and media excited!
