Chapter 460 Sweeping Across America!
The next day, Wu Yuan, who stayed up until 4 o'clock, got up early.
He hadn't slept for two hours when Liu Yifei dragged him up. While he was still half asleep, he was taken to the dressing room and a lot of powder was applied on his face.
When he was fully awake, his face had been fully made up by the makeup artist.
Looking at the unfamiliar self in the mirror, Wu Yuan subconsciously wanted to reach out and pinch his chin, but Liu Yifei, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, beat him first.
"Don't touch it randomly, you'll have to put on your makeup again if it gets smudged!" She said coquettishly, but her eyes were fixed on Wu Yuan's face in the mirror.
To be honest, Wu Yuan rarely dresses up. Although he doesn't look unkempt every day, he never wears makeup on the set and wears whatever he feels comfortable in.
Liu Yifei has known Wu Yuan for many years. It was only when he was filming "Goblin" that she often saw the "full-faced version of Wu Yuan" with full makeup and carefully matched clothes. It was really easy to fall in love with him at first sight.
Behind Wu Yuan's back, Liu Yifei often complained to her girlfriends that he completely wasted his face. He took advantage of his good foundation and messed it up. He had a beard and a messy image on the set.
Now, while he is still confused, the makeup artist showed off his skills, which made Liu Yifei very satisfied.
Men love to see beautiful women, and women of course love to see handsome men.
Although Wu Yuan is usually handsome enough, Liu Yifei, who takes care of his usual image, still wants to see more of the ultimate version of Wu Yuan.
"Okay, stop sitting here in a daze, go change your clothes." Pulling Wu Yuan's pajamas, Liu Yifei said with full energy: "I have prepared your clothes for today, they are at the bedside, take them and change into them."
"I carefully matched them!"
As soon as Liu Yifei said this, Wu Yuan, who was still a little sleepy, immediately woke up completely, widened his eyes and exclaimed: "You matched them for me?"
"Can I really wear this?"
Liu Yifei patted Wu Yuan's shoulder unhappily and said angrily: "What's wrong with my matching? I have a good eye!"
However, under Wu Yuan's unbelievable eyes, she quickly gave up and muttered unconvincedly: "Okay, it was the stylist sister who matched them for you, but I also gave suggestions."
Well, Wu Yuan was relieved. Liu Yifei's private clothes matching, at least the colorful aesthetics now, was not acceptable to Wu Yuan.
After a while, Wu Yuan changed into a simple yet elegant suit, took Liu Yifei's hand, and left the hotel with her.
Of course, he didn't get up early today for nothing.
With the release of "Interstellar", Wu Yuan's schedule is also full.
Compared with Liu Yifei and other stars in front of the stage, Wu Yuan still has few opportunities to "do business". He only appears frequently in public during the promotion period of the movie.
Of course, he still doesn't like variety shows.
Fortunately, there are not many studio game variety shows that are popular in Asia in North America. The popular shows in North America are mainly interview shows.
Singers go on various radio interviews to promote, and actors in movies and TV series go on various interview TV shows.
In the next few days, Wu Yuan will participate in some interview shows such as "The Daily Show", "The Ellen Show", "The Chicken Show", "The Ellen Show" and so on with the leading actors of "Interstellar", Liu Yifei, Anne Hathaway, and Mads Mikkelsen, to promote the movie.
In addition, they have to do road shows!
Yes, there are also road shows for movie promotion in North America.
The crew of "Interstellar" had to travel to at least nine major cities in North America, and hold a fan viewing meeting in each city to stimulate the local box office market.
The entire promotion lasted for half a month, and in terms of workload, it was far less intense than the roadshows of mainland movies.
The roadshows of mainland movies have been really intense in the past two years. Under the leadership of Fan Xiaopang, the roadshow period for mainland movies can now last for a full month, and it is common to travel to 20 to 30 cities across the country.
Some movies are even divided into several promotional teams, and they even travel to some third-tier small cities.
These big stars who may not be seen often on TV usually go to various cities to interact with fans on the spot, which has indeed promoted the expansion of the audience groups in various third- and fourth-tier small cities.
At least if you watch pirated copies, you will not have the opportunity to interact with the roadshow actors on the spot, or even shake hands or take photos.
To a certain extent, the revival of the Chinese-language film industry is also due to the diligence of mainland films in running roadshows.
Because the roadshows were very diligent when the mainland movies were released, in extreme cases, they could go to three cities a day, which encouraged many citizens in third-tier cities who had never been to the cinema to try to go to the cinema, expanding the base of mainland movie fans.
However, in North America, the roadshows were really just to promote the movie.
The North American film market was saturated 800 years ago. It is the most mature and developed film market in the world. There is no need for actors to go to the sinking market to stimulate. Fans who are willing to go to the cinema will go to the cinema by themselves.
Therefore, the promotion of movies in North America is relatively easier.
Wu Yuan, who was specially responsible for image organization, took Liu Yifei and the other two to participate in various talk shows in the United States for several days in a row, and talked with the host about the process of filming "Interstellar", the creative concept of this movie, and the difficulties in using new technologies.
Perhaps the most impressive part of "Interstellar" for movie fans is not the use of IMAX 3D technology, but the use of IMAX 3D technology has indeed gained a high level of global attention for this movie.
From Los Angeles to San Francisco, from Houston to New York, from Chicago to Philadelphia, Washington, Boston, Toronto, Vancouver, Mexico City...
Countless fans who just heard that "Interstellar" is a real IMAX 3D movie decisively walked into the cinema and bought a movie ticket for this movie.
It is even possible that they only bought an ordinary 3D hall and could not tell the difference between IMAX 3D and ordinary 3D, but it was because of the shock of watching movies brought by "Avatar" that they walked into the cinema without hesitation.
Then, North American movie fans who have watched "Interstellar" were successfully captured by this movie.
As Nolan's "God-making" work, even if this movie contains a lot of hard science fiction physics knowledge and theories, it can still rely on soft emotions to inject a movie story that makes people think deeply and move, so that countless fans will remember it deeply and be excited after watching the movie.
A wave called "Interstellar" is rapidly sweeping North America.
# Interstellar #
# What is a black hole #
# How scary is a black hole #
# What is the five-dimensional world like #
# What is the gravity of a black hole #
Topics like these have quickly become popular topics on North American social platforms.
A bunch of Internet celebrities who are so-called "physics popularization", "astronomy experts" and "science fiction enthusiasts" and have considerable influence and attention on the Internet have urgently produced a bunch of popular science about astronomy and physics common sense involved and described in "Interstellar"...
Countless organizations or netizens, whether related to the movie or not, are trying to take advantage of the popularity of "Interstellar".
And under their exaggeration, the reputation of "Interstellar" in North America has risen even higher, and it has become a household name, becoming a topic that everyone must talk about when they meet.
Under this wave of national attention, the box office of "Interstellar" has exploded from the start!
In the first three days of the weekend, Interstellar earned $58.26 million in North America, leading the second place Inception by nearly $40 million and becoming the box office champion.
Yes, after Salt earned only more than $30 million in the first week, the box office performance in the second week quickly dropped to less than $10 million, even lower than the box office performance of Inception, which had been released for almost a month.
In the second week of Interstellar, the box office did not drop but increased. In the first three days of the second week, Interstellar still earned $46.8 million in the box office, and the cumulative box office successfully exceeded $100 million, becoming the fastest movie in North America to break the $100 million box office after Avatar!
Even if they had already prepared themselves mentally, countless eyes in Hollywood were shocked by this result.
The genius director from China is crowning himself and sitting on the throne that belongs to him! (End of this chapter)
