One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-Three

The building located at No. 32 on the Bund of the Magic City is submerged in the skyline of the historical charm, but in fact it is a building that was just completed in 2009. The only new building reproduces the golden age of the "Paris of the East".

When the construction of the building started, it attracted criticism and doubts from countless people, worried that this building would destroy the unique scenery of the Bund, and even some people once commented, "If you look around, you can't see that it is a new building. Architecture, that's success." And now, it's proven.

This is the Peninsula Hotel, a trendy and retro building that is gradually becoming another postcard for the city.

Today, the premiere press conference for "Gravity" is taking place here. From the specifications and treatment, it can be seen that this time the public relations company still spent a lot of thought, and each event arrangement has a corresponding theme, which is really rare. Compared with the sloppy handling of the North American premiere, the mainland premiere has become different because of the existence of Renly.

However, before officially heading to the Peninsula Hotel, Renly and his party took the lead and stopped at the Bund ferry port.

For the past three consecutive days, the Mainland PR agency responsible for the premiere held a small roadshow on the Bund to warm up for the official premiere tonight. They chose the Oriental Pearl Tower Square and built a so-called "space experience warehouse" on the square. The name sounds very mysterious, but it is actually an all-round visual experience room.

The design inspiration comes from the observatory of the observatory. It uses multiple visual and auditory experiences to create the experience of being in the universe. Unfortunately, the VR technology is not mature yet, and there is no way to apply it to commercial promotion. Otherwise, it will cooperate with "gravity" The visual effects of the film can also create a more realistic experience.

After Renly learned about it, he volunteered to go to the scene.

First, there is still enough time before the press conference; secondly, the roadshow site is not far from the Peninsula Hotel, even a five-minute drive is not required. So, Renly left the hotel early and made a special trip to the scene, hoping to surprise the fans and audiences.

This is a temporary itinerary, but after Gu Cailing and the company contacted, the on-site security personnel were added in advance to make things happen in the shortest time possible. For Gu Cailing's side, this is a positive and good thing. The more activities Renly is willing to cooperate with, the more effective they will be; however, it is also a bad thing that they are in a hurry, breaking their pre-deployment.

From a distance, the crowds of people above the Oriental Pearl Tower Plaza spread out along the sparkling waves of the Huangpu River. Because there is still a distance, the scene looks like an extension of the spacious river, flowing and rippling slowly. , appears quiet and peaceful under the shallow sunlight.

But as the distance gets closer,

The continuous vast crowd became magnificent little by little, as if from a winding tributary to a majestic river, the entire square was crowded, and even the traffic police who were maintaining order on the road seemed to be Busy and restless.

"Such a scene is reminiscent of a New Year's Eve party in New York's Times Square." Although he had just experienced a long-distance flight, Renly's mental state was really good, and he chatted in a relaxed tone.

Gu Cailing glanced at Andy secretly, and then found that Andy put his hands on his belly, looking at the grand scene outside the window with interest, that expression reminded her of a sentence on the Internet: Only when foreigners are foreigners Only by experiencing the frenzy of people in the mainland can we truly understand what a "populous country" is. In the world, only India can be compared.

So, Gu Cailing considered her tone and spoke up, "Isn't the New Year's Eve party in Times Square even bigger? I've heard before that the number of participants is in the millions?"

As for the scene in front of you, because the space in the Oriental Pearl Tower Plaza is really limited, the maximum number of spectators gathered at the scene is only 3,000, and it may even be less than that, not to mention the New Year's Eve party in Times Square, even if it is not long ago. The premieres at Lincoln Center were a little underwhelming by comparison.

"But it's not a New Year's Eve party, isn't it?" Renly joked with a smile, "I'm even more curious, is there so many people every day during this roadshow? The box office will be reported with high expectations.”

In the last life, Renly lived in the magic capital for many years. This is a city full of countless activities, and it is also a city full of art.

If you are willing to step out of your social comfort zone, everyone can find their own group here and find resonance in their interests and hobbies. Movies are of course part of it.

There are countless film-related events held here every year, but in addition to the film festival in June, other premieres or roadshows, it is still relatively difficult to attract a large number of fans to the scene to support - the so-called here "Large" refers to the level of more than a thousand people, or even more.

In terms of the prosperity and liveliness of the movie fan market, the Imperial Capital is still slightly better.

Therefore, seeing such a turbulent crowd on the square at this moment, at least more than 2,000 people, Renly is also a little surprised, and this is only half-jokingly.

Then, Ren Li saw Gu Cailing's slightly hesitant expression, although she was trying hard to hide it, she still couldn't escape Ren Li's eyes.

Gu Cailing knew how to deal with it now, deny it! deny! deny!

Faced with such a situation, she should of course express a strong denial, and then politely said, because Renly's appeal in the mainland is different, it is always creating topics, the grand occasion of the event is expected, and the movie box office The prospects are also widely optimistic, and so on.

But staring at Renly's eyes, those words could not be said, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Actually, when you just decided to come here, we temporarily posted on Weibo - in fact, the mainland version of Twitter and Facebook. Book Combination - A message was posted on it, calling on everyone to actively participate."

Imagine if Renly showed up temporarily only to see two or three kittens, it would be a real disaster.

The last thing PR firms like are surprises, because surprises mean chaos, and chaos means disaster. For these top stars, it's just a passing sentence, making a request in an understatement, but they need to be in a hurry, be overwhelmed, and be in a hurry, and in the end, they may not be able to please them - this is definitely a high-probability event.

Just after Ren Li changed her mind temporarily, Gu Cailing informed the company, and she was scolded by her boss, asking her why she mentioned the road show, and why the road show was not far from the press conference, if not Not only that, but the company colleagues also rambled and cursed Renly.

The only thing to be fortunate is that they don't need to temporarily pull people on the scene.

Because of the grand occasion after Renly arrived at the airport, it spread all the way. They only needed to make a call on Weibo, and then look for a few large numbers to forward it. The topic skyrocketed like a rocket, and the surging crowd on the Bund immediately turned towards Flocked to the road show scene. This has greatly reduced their work pressure.

Gu Cailing avoided her gaze subconsciously and looked at the crowd outside the window, "I didn't expect that the crowd gathered so fast, and the effect far exceeded expectations." Then, she showed a big smile, "It's still possible now. It can be seen that everyone's discussion of this movie is hot, and the box office prospects of the movie are indeed worth looking forward to."

Renly nodded lightly in understanding.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, just when Gu Cailing thought that she had successfully survived this crisis, Ren Li's voice came again, "I think your colleagues must be scolding me behind my back and temporarily change their minds. , you should have worked hard. Oh, please remember to thank them for their work on my behalf."

Gu Cailing's face was astonished, and her expression could hardly be concealed.

At this time, the car just stopped, and the security personnel on the scene quickly gathered over, opened the door, and then Renly got out of the car without stopping.

Gu Cailing was sitting in the passenger seat, and suddenly felt a burst of joy flooding her face—not nervous or scared, but imagining the scene of her colleague talking badly behind her back but being caught by Ren Li, and she felt so happy. Immediately afterwards, she also came back to her senses and walked out of the car with her.

Everyone.

The memories of the last life are really too far away. Renly almost forgot about the splendid crowds in the country. It was turbulent and hot, dense and arrogant. It was not only the migration wave like the Spring Festival, but even the usual event scene. In a heat wave, 2,000 people can explode into the carnival effect of 5,000 people abroad.

This is the case at this time.

At first, the audience did not realize Renly's presence, and everyone waited anxiously and anxiously. The waiting time was so long that people began to become impatient. Unconsciously, the gray sky began to clear, and the sun sparsely fell, but it was still unable to stop the raging wind by the river, so it created a strange effect of being stuffy and cold, and I only felt myself. about to be swallowed up by the weather.

When the first person realized Renly's presence, the screams broke free from the shackles of their throats, and then the whole audience began to fry the pot. The real explosion broke out, and the layers of screams and cheers were like a tsunami. Generally swept up, and continues to rise, more and more turbulent, more and more crazy.

"Master, ah ah ah!"

"Welcome to the magic capital, young master!"

"Master, look here, here!"

Amid the screams, Renly did not walk to the center stage, but to the audience area, and the audience lost control like a volcanic eruption.
