Chapter 864 New "The Expendables 3" Premiere

Hearing what the eldest cousin said, Zhou Xia couldn't help but joked: "Hehe, it seems that Mr. Stallone also knows how to sacrifice for art."

The eldest cousin ignored Zhou Xia's ridicule: "Don't you really say that, haven't you seen the promotional posters of this movie? On some posters, the two of us and Jason Statham are in the same row as Stallone. There are also posters of our two more up front."

"With such boldness, it seems that Mr. Stallone, the producer, has made a big change this time."

Zhou Xia was a little surprised now, and couldn't help sighing.

Stallone is indeed very powerful and has created many brilliance, but this time he is the producer and starred in the "The Expendables" series, the box office and word of mouth are very average, far inferior to his previous "First Blood" and "Rocky" and other series of movies.

In Zhou Xia's memory, although the posters of "The Expendables" are said to be full of stars, Stallone has always occupied the c position.

In some posters, he even stands alone at the front, with many other stars crowded behind, like a team of soldiers.

In Zhou Xia's view, as a producer, Stallone has overemphasized his personal status.

He gathered action stars from all over the world to shoot this series of tough guy movies, but in the end, everyone else was a big supporting role. An old guy like him occupies too many roles in posters and fights in movies, which is actually not suitable.

After all, the present era is not his era.

Jason Statham is one of the hottest action stars in the world.

Although his status cannot be compared with him, but for box office considerations, he should be given a higher role and status.

Others such as Li Lianjie, Mel Gibson, Schwarzenegger and others have high status, but they are all 60 or [-] years old after all.

Several of them, aged in their 60s and [-]s, fought on the screen, and the design of the action scenes was very old-fashioned, which completely failed to attract more young audiences.

In the first film, everyone heard so many action superstars, and they didn’t know what the movie was like, so they came here because of the fame, but the action scenes in the movie couldn’t satisfy the old movie fans. Word of mouth is declining, and the box office is getting worse.

So when it came to the third part, Zhou Xia didn't want to participate.

In the end, Stallone was persuaded by him because he valued the mainland market and Zhou Xia. He revised part of the plot of "The Expendables 3" and invited Jennifer to star in it. Zhou Xia then participated in the movie.

In the current third part, some members of the older generation of death squads retreated behind the scenes at the end, highlighting the growth and status improvement of the new generation of members of him and his big cousin.

Let this series of movies be younger and meet the needs of more young people to watch movies. Coupled with these veteran action stars as mentors, I believe there will be good results.

But what's going on with the film now, Zhou Xia is too busy with work and has never had time to see the finished film, so she really doesn't know.

However, according to the trailer and a few test screenings, the critics and movie fans who have watched the film have a positive rating of 65% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is higher than the original 35%, indicating that the audience is still basically satisfied. of.

Zhou Xia and her eldest cousin didn't say a few words, and the car arrived at the Dolby Theater where the premiere of "The Expendables 3" was held, which is where the Oscars were held.

But compared to the atmosphere when the Oscars were held, this premiere was much worse.

The scale of the red carpet alone is quite different.

Today's red carpet is only two meters wide and more than ten meters long. It extends from the parking lot of the courtesy car to the Dolby Theater. There is no red carpet in other places in the square in front of the Dolby Theater.

The car was parked outside the Dolby Theater. After Zhou Xia and Jennifer got out of the car, they saw Stallone, Li Lianjie, Kissen Statham, Mel Gibson, Schwarzenegger and others got off the car.

The main creators gathered together and looked at it. The red carpet was too narrow, so Stallone and Schwarzenegger walked the red carpet first.

Then Jason Statham, Mel Gibson, Jet Li and others followed behind. , the young protagonists in the two movies, Zhou Xia and Big Cousin, are in the middle, and several other lesser-known actors follow at the end.

"Zhou, this way!"

"Jennifer, cooperate."

"week--"

The media reporters on both sides of the red carpet kept shouting to the two.

As the only female protagonist in the entire tough guy movie, the eldest cousin is wearing a black deep V dress with a beautiful chest, which is the most eye-catching.

But Zhou Xia is also very popular, and many media reporters and movie fans have recognized him.

After "The New Detective" was screened in North America, his popularity was obviously much higher than at the Oscars.

As the two walked forward slowly, the eldest cousin sometimes let go of Zhou Xia's arm and stopped to take pictures alone, and sometimes came up to take him as a male companion and dragged him to take pictures together.

In order to promote the movie, Zhou Xia had to endure it.

The short ten-meter-long red carpet took a minute to complete, and Zhou Xia was a little ashamed.

Moreover, Xiahua Video Network is also live broadcasting the premiere in China, so it is estimated that the bullet screen will not know what will happen for a long time.

Zhou Xia's guess was right, not only the netizens were frantically swiping the barrage to discuss how close they were, but many acquaintances were also barking the barrage.

In the villa of Rose Manor in Imperial Capital, Xiaohu has a radiation-proof apron on his belly, and is sitting in front of the computer watching the premiere of "The Expendables 3".

Seeing Zhou Xia's intimate behavior with her eldest cousin, she was so angry that she couldn't help but typed and sent a barrage.

"Dog men and women!"

She was still angry after posting one, and sent several barrages.

"If you don't make a good movie, you will know the hype, Zhou Xia, you let me down so much!"

"Anyway, he is also a great director of Huaxia, can you pay attention and don't let people take advantage of him!"

"Jennifer, let go of my husband's arm!"

Xiaohu angrily posted bullet screens in front of the computer, oblivious to what he usually dared not say to Zhou Xia.

And Yaya, who was recuperating in the newly bought mansion in Australia, with a five-month-old belly, saw Zhou Xia and Jennifer walking on the red carpet, turned off the video, walked out of the villa, and went for a walk in the yard up.

It's only seven o'clock in the morning in Australia. She doesn't want this kind of thing to affect her good mood for the day.

Liu Yufei was in Los Angeles. She was doing body sculpting in the yoga room. Watching the premiere screen on TV, she snorted angrily. She used too much force on her hands, and her legs suddenly went over her head, and her painful eyes popped out. tears.

I regret that Zhou Xia invited her to attend today's premiere last night, but she didn't agree.

As for the others, they were busy with work and didn't have time to pay attention to Zhou Xia's movie premiere.

After Zhou Xia and her eldest cousin finished walking the red carpet, they temporarily separated, and the two went to socialize separately.

Zhou Xia kept greeting and chatting with some familiar guests who had walked the red carpet in the front hall of the screening room. Several people actually asked him about "Carol".

The red carpet of more than 40 minutes is over soon.

The main creator He Jia walked into the screening hall and sat down, and started watching the premiere of "The Expendables 3" with the media reporters and fans who had already entered.

PS: Today is the first update. The ten chapters added yesterday for the lord's "boring war" are finished, and there are still two updates that he rewarded, one update today, and another update tomorrow.
