Chapter 802 premiered in North America and stayed in Hollywood
On June 6th, at 4:05 p.m. local time in Los Angeles, the premiere of "New Detective" will be held in front of the Chinese Theater on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This is the first time that a Chinese-language film has such a grand premiere in North America, and Xiahua Film and Television has fully prepared for it.

Harvey and his Weinstein Company, in cooperation with Xiahua Film and Television North America Branch, not only planned Zhou Xia's printing and name-keeping activities in front of the Chinese Theater, but also invited many Hollywood bigwigs, superstars, and rising stars to attend the premiere .

Especially in the past few years, many of the leading actors of Hollywood blockbusters released by Xiahua Film and Television in the Mainland, as well as the leading actors of movies to be released, will come.

Such as: Stallone, the producer and star of "The Expendables", and Mrs. Schwarzenegger, the former governor, and the leading actors of "The Avengers", "The Hunger Games", "Iron Man", and "Pacific Rim". Sister, big cousin and others.

Not only that, but the creators of the American dramas produced by Xiahua Film and Television North America Branch will also attend the premiere.

The two leading actresses, director and screenwriter of "Broken Girls", the male lead, female lead, director and screenwriter of "Arrow", as well as many young Hollywood stars who value the international market.

Including 'Hermione' Emma, ​​Watson, Twilight Girl Kristen Stewart, and well-known domestically well-known "Gossip Girl" Blake Lively, Leighton Meester will attend the premiere.

In addition, some industry veterans from Hollywood companies who want to cooperate with Xiahua Film and Television, or have already cooperated, such as Lions Gate Films, Legendary Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, and Studio8 also came.

After all, the mainland has become the world's second largest film market in the past few years, and Xiahua Film and Television is the giant of Chinese-language films.

Last year, the domestic box office revenue of 124 billion Ruanmei coins, plus the overseas box office revenue of 16 billion, based on the current appreciation of the US dollar exchange rate to 6.13, the total box office is nearly 23 billion US dollars!

Last year, Time Warner, the head of the six major Hollywood film companies, had a global box office revenue of only 20.05 billion US dollars, No.2 Sony Columbia was 12.4 billion US dollars; the third 10.5th Century Fox was 10 billion US dollars, and the others did not reach [-] billion US dollars. Knife.

That is to say, without counting other peripheral income, the box office revenue of Xiahua Film and Television in 2013 is not only the first in China, but also the number one in the world!

How can such an impressive achievement not make these proud Hollywood filmmakers feel shocked and look sideways?
With such a big cake and such a vast mainland market, these big Hollywood companies and filmmakers certainly want a piece of the pie.

Naturally, the fastest way is to cooperate with Xiahua Film and Television, the most successful film company in the mainland.

Previously, Robin Love of Studio8 negotiated with Zhou Xia, and finally, after receiving Zhou Xia's guarantee of non-interference in the company's operations for 15 years, he has approved Xia Hua's acquisition conditions, and the two parties have initially reached a cooperation agreement.

Now these big names, big names, and future stars from major Hollywood film companies are here to support, not only hoping to cooperate with Xia Hua in the future, but also for the mainland market.

There was more than half an hour before the premiere of the red carpet. After Zhou Xia negotiated with Robin Love, he went to the Chinese Theater on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with Harvey, Peter and others.

There Zhou Xia will receive an important honor, attend the ceremony, and leave his seal and name on the square in front of the Grand Theater.

The handprints and footprints of the world's best filmmakers are concentrated on the concrete floor in front of the Chinese Theater Plaza in Hollywood.

These "imprints" represent the highest honor and eternal commemoration for those who have made outstanding achievements in the world's film and entertainment industries, and are known as "Hollywood's most precious honor".

But leaving handprints, footprints, and names here is not the same thing as leaving stars and names on the Avenue of Stars.

Retaining a seal at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and reserving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame are two completely different activities.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame has an official background and is strongly supported by the government, while the handprints of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood are more of an activity of the big theater.

Because the Hollywood Chinese Theater is located on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and there are many superstars who leave their seals and names here, it is easy to confuse people that leaving a star and leaving a seal are similar.

But in fact, the Hollywood Chinese Theater is private property, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a municipal road, which belongs to the Los Angeles government.

In the past few years, the commercial atmosphere has become stronger and stronger, and it is no longer so pure to leave a print in front of the Chinese theater.

Xiaogangpao has stayed in the Chinese theater in 2013, becoming the first filmmaker in the mainland to stay in India.

Later, in 2015, Huang Jiaozhu and Zhao Yanzi also left their fingerprints in front of the Grand Theater.

The two posted on Weibo saying that they were very honored, which attracted stars such as Chen Kun to repost and like it.

But it caused Sun Haiying to bombard on Weibo: "You guys are too stupid to do this kind of show! You don't have any audience in your eyes, and you still treat your Chinese counterparts as fools? Which street are you printed on? Can you explain clearly? These two actors I have cooperated with them and have no objection to them. It’s just that this has been done, so don’t keep making such international jokes.”

At that time, Sun Haiyingying poured cold water on it. After many domestic netizens checked in detail, they understood why they bombarded this behavior.

The Chinese Grand Theater started printing in 1927. So far, more than 200 stars have left their seals here. Cheng Nong and Wu Yusen have already left their seals.

But since the construction of the Avenue of Stars, in the past so many years, only three Chinese filmmakers have left their names, namely Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Huang Liushuang, the first Chinese actress in Hollywood history. Even Li Ang, Wu Yusen and others do not have this honor.

The biggest difference between leaving a star on the Avenue of Stars and leaving fingerprints at the China Grand Theater is that the threshold is higher, which means that it is recognized by the American film industry represented by Hollywood.

Donald Kushner, owner of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, admits that there are many star handprint activities for movie promotion, and these star handprints will not all appear in front of the most eye-catching theater square.

Inhuman stars including Britney Spears, Kobe Bryant, and even "Transformers" Optimus Prime and The Smurfs all had their fingerprints in front of Hollywood's Chinese Theater because of movie promotion, but they were all shelved in the end.

The later Xiaogangpao, Huang Jiaozhu, and Zhao Yanzi left their seals with similar treatment.

But Zhou Xia is different, he is now a very popular international kung fu superstar.

Not only won the honor of staying in front of the Chinese Theater.

This year's Hollywood Star Working Committee is already selecting a new year's recipients, and he has been selected.

It will be confirmed by the end of May next year at the latest whether he can stay in Hollywood. Perhaps he may become the fourth Chinese to be named on the Avenue of Stars!
After Zhou Xia got off the car with Harvey and Peter outside the Chinese Grand Theatre, he saw this exotic oriental garden in front of him.

This landmark building located in the core area of ​​the Avenue of Stars has hosted several Oscars.

The last time Zhou Xia participated in the Oscars, she also took photos here, but she didn't have time to visit.

Looking around, the Grand Theater is about 30 meters high. The first thing that catches people's eyes is two huge red pillars made of coral, each of which is inlaid with a wrought iron mask, and then there are two stone lions in front of the theater. , full of strong Chinese flavor.

It is said that these two stone lions were specially transported from my country to the theater.

It can be seen that the red carpet has already been laid on the square in front of the theater, and the media and fans have already stood on both sides of the red carpet according to their positions, waiting to witness Zhou Xia's printing, and there will be a red carpet for the premiere.

Led by Peter, Zhou Xia and Harvey quickly walked into the theater.

Some media, fans, and fans recognized Zhou Xia and immediately shouted.

Zhou Xia had no choice but to walk slowly and waved to them as a greeting.

After everyone entered the Grand Theater, Los Angeles City Councilor Bang Ji, who attended the fingerprinting ceremony and presented Zhou Xia with a certificate of honor, and Donald, the owner of China Grand Theater, were waiting.

After the brief greetings, several people came out of the theater and came to the square in front of the theater.

Here is the concrete floor where Zhou Xia was selected to leave a seal and name, and the seal ceremony was held here.

Zhou Xia saw the cement board on June 6 last year where Cheng Nong left fingerprints, footprints, and nose marks, and the cement board where Wu Yusen left his name and seal, but he did not see Xiaogangpao.

Zhou Xia felt relieved when he found that his cement board was not far from Cheng Lane, and it was also very conspicuous.

Based on his influence, it shouldn't end up being put away like a small steel cannon.

Zhou Xia wrote "Chinese Kung Fu" on the concrete floor prepared in advance, and then signed his Chinese name and English name in pinyin, leaving his handprint on the concrete floor with footprints.

The surrounding media were filming, and some fans were chanting his name.

After the printing was completed, Zhou Xia took the certificate of honor from the congressman and took a group photo together, the ceremony was considered to be over.

　The [-] words are completed today, and the update will be after noon tomorrow.
