Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

Chapter 128 Record-Breaking Box Office

In just ten days, "The Dark Knight" had already reached an incredible $400 million in global box office revenue.

Shen Daniu, who had triggered three days of large-scale brawls in his small town, was eager to rush back to the capital.

Because "The Dark Knight" suddenly passed censorship and will be released in the country.

Not to mention Shen Mo was unprepared, even Jeremy, who had been knocked out by Xiao Tianshui, was shocked to the point of sitting up in shock upon hearing the news.

In an instant, my legs stopped hurting, my back stopped aching, and I was able to jump again.

They directly used Warner's connections to pack up the entire team that was promoting the book and airlift them to Beijing.

He wants to hold a grand premiere in Beijing, even more so than in the mainland.

He wanted to make his friends in China feel his warmth.

As for directly standing up the little notebook, according to old Jeremy, they'll see whether the little notebook promotes it or not.

Even if the son doesn't want to watch his father's movies, he still has to pay for them.

But China is different. China has always been cunning; if they say they won't watch, they won't watch.

Now that he has the opportunity to enter this huge emerging market, Jeff knows what that means.

Showing it out for a few days at night is nothing; this is just a prelude. With this film in the works, Warner Bros. is preparing to send the script to Beijing for censorship before the next one. The real big prize is yet to come.

Originally, "The Dark Knight" was never released in mainland China due to its negative portrayal of Hong Kong, the cameo appearance of Chan Kwan-sze, and a whole host of other strange reasons.

Although he replaced Heath Ledger, Chen Guanxi didn't actually make a cameo appearance.

However, before the film was released, Shen Mo had discussed with Nolan the possibility of it being shown in China.

Nolan's point is that you shouldn't have too high hopes.

Shen Daniu knew exactly what kind of role he was playing and was mentally prepared for the outcome.

Besides, it's okay to shout out your catchphrases outside, but there are many illiterate people out there.

Damn it, if he were shouting those things at home, Shen Mo's skills would be utterly useless.

If two men with buzz cuts come by, they'll have to hang them on the city gate tower.

Warner was frustrated, but didn't have high hopes and dragged their feet on preparations.

However, plans can't keep up with changes, and the explosive popularity of "WhySoSerious?" has become a cultural phenomenon.

This powerful force has brought about some driving forces that can break the mold.

In the hotel conference room that "The Dark Knight" had booked at a high price, Shen Mo had a sweet smile on his face, but half of his buttocks were numb.

Han Sanping, that old man, wasn't much better off; he smiled just as honestly and simply, only touching the edge of the stool.

The reason for their behavior was simple: the middle-aged man in the executive jacket brought along a man in a Zhongshan suit.

Wearing a Zhongshan suit, he smiled warmly and reminded everyone that the premiere might attract a large crowd, so it was important to manage the flow of people and prevent any unnecessary damage to their property.

Jeremy and Nolan nodded frequently, and even scribbled in their notebooks with pens.

In addition to the two men, Zuo Shandiao could also hum in his throat at the right moment when they were speaking.

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for others to hear, but not loud enough to be considered interrupting.

Shen Danu opened his mouth and exchanged a glance with Bell.

These top-tier entertainers are no match for these managers.

Shen Daniu felt that he was still too inexperienced and had suffered from not reading enough books.

After the man in the executive jacket left with the man in the Zhongshan suit, Han Sanping resumed his arrogant and domineering demeanor, and asked Jeremy, "Mr. Jeremy, did you understand?"

Shen Danu'er's eyes widened; were these two people in the same dimension as him?

What the hell were they saying? I didn't understand a thing.

Ignoring the stunned Shen Danu'er, Jeremy said directly, "I plan to keep the premiere simple, especially the program; don't make it too complicated."

"We will only invite mainstream media; we won't invite those other, less reputable media outlets."

"Let's simplify the audience and limit the scope."

"As for the guests, we should invite all the ones who are supposed to be invited, after all, it's a matter of face."

"But we also need to communicate with these people in advance to prevent them from issuing announcements or creating hype."

"The main theme is serious, intense, and lively."

Serious, tense, and lively—is this something a foreigner would say?

Shen Danu'er was drooling without even realizing it.

Han Sanping nodded in satisfaction, shook hands with Jeff, and said, "Mr. Jeff, go ahead and do it. I believe it will be a great box office success."

After shaking hands, the two turned their gazes to Shen Mo.

Shen Mo shrank back warily and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zuo Shandiao pondered for a while, then said, "I don't know if you're pretending to be stupid or if you really are. For now, I can only treat you as a fool and properly agree on the code of conduct for the premiere."

Shen Mo felt that he hadn't worn a suit in a long time, except when he was filming movies.

It's not that he has any aversion to suits; back when he was a bodyguard, Shen Daniu quite liked wearing Seven Wolves suits.

Now that Shen Mo has a sales promotion task for Red Star Pediatrics, he basically wears a windbreaker and Yeezy shoes no matter what event he attends.

During the promotional tour for "The Dark Knight," Shen Mo was dressed almost entirely in this outfit, which even made Red Star Pediatrics a minor sensation.

However, given the special occasion, Shen Mo ultimately decided to wear a handsome suit and style his hair like an adult.

Yang Tianzhen had prepared her makeup and styling well in advance, and she had inquired about everything related to Shen Mo beforehand.

Contrary to her usual behavior, Yanzi personally carried the bag and tidied up Shen Mo's odds and ends in an orderly manner.

Strangers came to greet Shen Mo backstage. Yanzi handled all the welcoming and seeing off, and even the task of saving phone numbers. The whole process was smooth and natural.

This left Shen Daniu, who had long been accustomed to independence, feeling somewhat lost.

The professional skills displayed by these two henchmen were proof of just how lazy they usually were.

Everyone from Wula Grass was dressed in suits and formal wear custom-made by Red Star Pediatrics. From Lu Yang to Zhang Jin, everyone was impeccably dressed and stood quietly behind Shen Mo.

If the premiere of "The Dark Knight" had been held in Hollywood, it wouldn't have garnered so much attention.

But now that it's being held in Beijing, everyone understands what it represents.

Today is truly Shen Mo's battle to establish himself.

Today is over. Even if Shen Mo jumps to another dimension, the Ula grass will follow him and soar into the sky.

Liu Yifei, dressed in a pink princess dress, gracefully approached and stood behind Shen Mo with a beaming smile.

Shen Mo, dressed in a tailored suit, looked behind him, waved, and led the Ula Grass group onto the red carpet.
