Chapter 294: Grand Premiere! Mysterious Guest? Thousands of Cavalry Charging, Ten Miles of Red Makeup, Slashing "Hero"

December 22, the weather was fine, and it was a good time to open the business.

Outside the Great Hall, the red carpet stretched from the entrance to the roadside. Hundreds of media outlets gathered on both sides with cameras, and flashes were lit from time to time, dazzling.

Starting from 9 a.m., guests entered the venue in an endless stream, with no tendency to break.

"Brother Chen Long, look over here."

"Director Yang, President Huo, can I interview you?"

"Lord Liu! Lord Guo!"

The security guards formed two queues, blocking the enthusiastic fans at the scene from the outside.

People from Hong Kong came quite early. The CEOs of several companies such as Emperor Entertainment Group, Golden Harvest, Media Asia, and Star Shine all arrived at the scene with their popular artists.

All the four kings came except Li Ming, who was holding a concert in the UK.

Nicholas Tse and Zhang Baizhi followed Huo Wenxi, holding hands, looking very affectionate.

"Who is Zhou Xingchi leading?"

"The new star girl, I think her name is Zhang Yuqi?"

Yang Mi followed Li Shaohong, walking into the venue while paying attention to the artists present.

But what she didn't notice was that Li Shaohong looked at her with a strange look in her eyes, as if she was quite shocked that she could get an invitation letter.

At present, Huayi's show is the biggest.

The two Wangs and Feng Xiaogang walked in the front row, followed by Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbin, Zhou Xun, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, Luo Jin, Li Feier...

Zhao Liying hid in the crowd and looked inconspicuous, but someone still recognized her.

The only light came from Wang Changtian and his company's two popular hosts Xie Nan and Liu Yan.

Coincidentally, behind them were Chen Kaige and his wife, and Chen Hong and his wife.

Chen Hong was holding a boy who looked only seven or eight years old in a suit, looking like a little adult.

Lao Mouzi, who was very busy, also came, and Zhang Weiping, who had been silent for a long time, came with him.

The reporters on both sides were getting more and more excited. Today's scene was even more exaggerated than the previous Golden Horse Awards. It was a trend that all the top directors and artists in the country came to support!

A large number of people from Beijing Film Academy also came. Zhao Zhenyang walked with Jia Zhangke, Gu Changwei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wang Quanan, Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, Ning Hao, Wang Zhiwen and others.

Lao Zhao was very happy, after all, Chen Fei was his student.

Tangren, Zhouyi, Mango, Zhang Da Huzi, and the heads of major film studios also arrived at the scene, but the number of people was not large.

Shu Chang came alone, but she walked with a group of people led by Wang Jinghua.

She didn't sign any company, and she felt it was boring to be alone, so she found Zhu Yawen.

On the way here, Wang Jinghua asked her implicitly what arrangements she had next, but she was stopped by her using Chen Fei as a shield.

"When will Xixi come?"

"I don't know, the crew should arrive last, right?"

Zhu Yawen said while looking around.

He suddenly found that there seemed to be no artist from Orange Sky present today, and combined with the previous incident with Jiang Yiyan...

"Tsk, you are touching the tiger's butt, right? He just has a good temper, but it doesn't mean he has no temper!"

He also disliked Wu Kebo, always felt that he was insidious and cunning, and didn't know what Sister Hua was thinking at the time, but she actually chose to cooperate with Orange Sky.

With Chen Fei's current identity and status, he was not afraid of Orange Sky at all, and today he came directly to show his power!

Some reporters also noticed this situation and quickly recorded the news, preparing to investigate the reason after the premiere.

The time lasted until 12 noon. As the invited guests completed the entry, the crew of "Mulan" finally stepped onto the red carpet.

Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, ​​Chen Daoming, Jiao Enjun, Wu Jing, Liu Xiaoli, Chen Baoguo...

"Mulan! Mulan!"

"Oh my god? Erlang Shen!"

"Tiantian..."

The fans cheered loudly, it was so lively.

The flash lights were on, dazzling, covering all the actors in the "Mulan" crew.

But at this moment, someone still found something wrong: "Huh? Where are Director Chen, Chairman Han, Chairman Ren, General Manager Lu, and General Manager Ye? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Yes! The main creative team has appeared, where are the director and investors?"

The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment.

In the main venue, the guests who had already taken their seats looked at the many empty seats around them, and they couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"What's going on? Why are there so many seats?"

"I don't know. Are there any important guests who haven't arrived yet?"

"Except for the crew of "Mulan", there shouldn't be anyone else, right?"

"Those investors haven't come either?"

"Listen! What's going on outside?"

The sudden noise outside the venue attracted everyone's attention. Many people stood up curiously and looked out.

The first person they saw was Liu Yifei in a dress.

"The crew is here!" Shu Chang's eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his hand and waved it towards Liu Yifei.

However, as a group of people entered one after another, the noise outside the venue did not stop, but became more and more heated!

"Are Chen Fei and Mr. Han here?"

"Is it?"

Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao chatting casually, while Li Fei'er stood beside them with her head slightly lowered.

There were too many big guys in the venue, and she, a newbie, was a little scared.

Liu Yifei and others had arrived at the center of the venue, and at the entrance of the auditorium, Chen Fei, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Ye Ning, Yu Dong and others filed in.

But what made everyone curious was that as several people entered the room, they did not take their seats immediately. Instead, they leaned slightly sideways, as if waiting for something.

The next second, one after another, faces that are out of reach for ordinary actors and extremely familiar to the bosses of major film and television companies appeared at the door of the auditorium!

Walton Pictures President Natalie Walton, Vice President Bruce Kovner, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, Marvel Entertainment President Isaac Perlmutter...

Famous Hollywood directors Roland Emmerich, Woody Allen, James Wan, Kathryn Bigquin, Jon Favreau, Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Alan Taylor...

Hollywood actors Andy Serkis, James Franco, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Robert Downey Jr., Amanda Seyfried, David Lee Smith, Paul Walker…

Seeing these people appear on the scene, everyone in the venue was stunned for a moment.

Looking around, the people who appeared in front of them were all international superstars who often appeared on the big screens in Hollywood, and they were all red and purple!

Especially Tony Stark, who plays Iron Man, and the two leading actors and actresses in Twilight, they are so impressive!

This year they have attracted a large number of fans in China!

"What the hell?! This guy invited Iron Man here!"

Zhu Yawen was completely stunned, her face full of disbelief.

"Paul Walker, oh my God! My favorite!"

Even Luo Jin, who always maintained a quiet state, went crazy.

There have been many large-scale premieres held in China before, and many Hollywood stars came to participate, but this is the first time that Chen Fei plays on such a big scale!

This horse riding is no longer a premiere, but an exchange meeting between domestic and foreign film and television circles, right?

"Wow, Sissi, there are so many stars."

Shu Chang held Liu Yifei's arm and kept shaking it. She especially liked the male vampire in Twilight, and she didn't expect to meet him here today.

"anything else."

"Huh? And..."

"Fuck!!! Leonardo DiCaprio!!!"

When Leonardo DiCaprio and his new girlfriend, a Victoria's Secret Angel, walked in from the door of the auditorium, the crowd of actresses immediately exploded.

Leonardo!

Xiao Lizi actually appeared in China on horseback? !

"Gudong..."

Fan and Li Bingbing, who were wearing blue and white gifts, did not hesitate and subconsciously prepared to get closer.

But the next second, when their attention fell on the female companion next to Xiao Lizi, they subconsciously stopped.

can not go!

There were too many people at the scene, and their aura couldn't compare to that of Victoria's Secret supermodel Bar Refaeli, and it was embarrassing to go up there.

Under everyone's disbelieving gaze, stars, directors, and producers who came all the way from Hollywood took their seats in the empty seats that had been prepared.

Chen Fei led the actors from "Mulan" to the podium.

Taking the microphone handed over by the host, he first thanked: "I am very happy that you can come to the premiere of "Mulan". Let us first welcome with warm applause the friends who flew from Hollywood to China to support me. Thank you. Your presence.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause.

Chen Fei's operation really shocked everyone present. No one expected that his connections in Hollywood would be so wide!

Liu Yifei took the microphone without any stage fright: "I'm glad that you all can support this movie. In fact, I still have a lot of shortcomings. It was Director Chen who gave me confidence and gave me a chance, so I can stand here." …”

Bruce shouted from the audience: "Crystal, you are really beautiful today!"

"Thank you." Liu Yifei thanked her and specially introduced: "This is my agent, Bruce, a middle-aged uncle with a very sense of humor."

The protagonist is Hua Mulan. Although the others appear in supporting roles, they have quite a lot of roles.

Jiao Enjun, Chen Daoming, Wu Jing and others spoke one after another and told some stories in the play.

Jing Tian was still a little nervous, so he took the phone and just said some words of thanks.

After some speeches, the premiere officially began.

As the investor's logo kept popping up on the screen, Yang Mi, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help but cast her eyes to the front row.

Looking at Leonardo, Natasha and others sitting next to Chen Fei, she couldn't help showing envy in her eyes.

Looking back, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, and Jing Tian were sitting together. Next to them was the heroine of Twilight, and a foreign girl who although she didn't recognize, was very good-looking.

At this time, Liu Yifei's name suddenly appeared on the screen, and at the same time, the three words "Mulan" slowly appeared.

After seeing this, she subconsciously looked at Li Shaohong beside her.

The other party's eyes were actually full of envy...

Since Zhou Xun left, Rong Xingda has plummeted, and now his influence in the circle has been greatly reduced.

"It seems we have to find another way out."

She was thinking secretly in her heart, her eyes full of desire for fame!

The movie officially begins.

Just like the story in "Mulan Ci".

Jijiji, Mulan weaves at home. At first, Mulan was just a lady from a noble family. Although she also practiced martial arts because of her father, it was just fancy moves.

The Rouran went south, and the war continued...

The Northern Wei emperor played by Chen Daoming was majestic and solemn. He ordered the conscription and prepared to go to war to defeat the Rouran.

Hua's father was seriously injured, but he still wanted to defend his country. Mulan felt distressed and simply gritted her teeth and decided to join the army for her father!

When Hua Mulan cut her hair and put on armor, there were bursts of exclamations at the scene!

"Wow, so the short hair style started from here?"

"Wow! Xiaolongnu is so dedicated!"

Training, injury, concealing identity...

The atmosphere in the military camp was sometimes stiff and sometimes joyful. Although there were frequent situations, it was very fascinating, giving people the feeling that it was real, not a forced performance.

Mulan led the team on patrol for the first time and saved the general.

When Jing Tian's ancient costume appeared in front of everyone, many bosses and agents of film and television companies were all brightened.

"With this look, is there any role suitable for her in Chinese Paladin 3?"

"Her acting is very good! From the 2007 class of Beijing Film Academy?"

"Great!"

After the military training, Mulan went to war, and Chen Fei, who had been accompanying him as the deputy general, followed her to the battlefield.

The big scene is coming!

On the grassland that can be seen at a glance, tens of thousands of cavalrymen gathered.

Each cavalry soldier was wearing iron armor with exquisite patterns, holding a spear, and the war horses under them were vigorous and powerful, with bright fur and thunderous hooves!

They rode on the war horses, their bodies stretched straight, their eyes were sharp, as if they could see through everything!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The fierce roar suddenly broke out, thousands of horses galloped, charging into battle, and the spears were like lightning, instantly piercing the enemy's defense line...

Looking at this war scene in front of him, Zhang Yimou, who was sitting in the audience, secretly compared it with the "Hero" he shot.

Equally comparable!

No one can resist the Qin army shouting: "Wind! Wind! Wind!"

But who can resist the Northern Wei heavy cavalry holding spears, charging with thousands of horses, shouting: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At the end of the film, Mulan returns victorious.

"I don't need Shangshu Lang, I am willing to ride a thousand miles to send my son back to my hometown!"

"Open my east pavilion door, sit in my west pavilion window, take off my wartime robe, put on my old clothes, comb my hair by the window, and apply yellow flowers in front of the mirror..."

The moment she regained her female body, the cheers on the scene were even louder!

The strong contrast is simply amazing!

And at the end of the film, Chen Fei showed those foreigners from Hollywood what "three books and six ceremonies, ten miles of red makeup, phoenix crown and cloak, eight-man sedan chair, and formal marriage!"

"Oh my god!"

The Victoria's Secret supermodel sitting next to Leo exclaimed repeatedly, with a gleam in her eyes.

The actresses on the scene were all envious and their eyes were red.

Although it was just a filming, who could withstand such a big scene?

Shu Chang turned his head to look at Liu Yifei in shock, and said in amazement: "Xixi, then... who is the person sitting in the sedan chair?"

"Yes, it must be me!"

Liu Yifei responded with a smile, and her eyes unconsciously swept over Chen Fei.

When shooting this scene, she was dizzy and only listened to people's manipulation. The whole scene was shot like a dream.

Chen Fei really reproduced the scene of "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" and performed it meticulously!

The cost of this wedding alone was as high as 30 million, and the number of extras used was as high as tens of thousands, which directly emptied a local county!

With the end of the wedding ceremony, the more than two-hour movie officially came to an end.

The main creators took the stage again to thank the audience for their support.

A leader of the Film Bureau took the microphone and did not hide his praise.

"This is what a good movie should be like! Spend every penny where it counts! Spend it in the right place! The result will be excellent!

The development of the film industry is inseparable from commercial blockbusters, and this kind of movie is what we support and is also a role model for you to learn from.

I hope that in the future, I can see more high-quality movies like this!"

Chen Kexin's old face suddenly turned red...

Below the stage, a group of actors from Hollywood have not yet recovered from the previous scene.

Although there are no gorgeous special effects, the magnificent scene has left a deep impression on them, and the story of Mulan is also easy to understand, and it will not make people feel confused.

In short, this is a very good commercial masterpiece!

Even if it is put on the Hollywood market, it will definitely receive praise and admiration from many people, and at the same time it will spread many Chinese cultures!

Several leaders of the Film Bureau in the front row were constantly whispering with smiles on their faces.

Just based on this movie, they can report to their superiors this year!

…

The reporter of the Sixth Princess was uncharacteristically asking Chen Fei about the box office forecast.

"Director Chen, last time you predicted that the box office of Lost in Thailand would exceed 500 million, and it finally came true. So what do you predict the performance of this Mulan will be?"

This question attracted a lot of attention. Several investors stared at Chen Fei, hoping that he could say a bold number.

"For China, let's start with 600 million RMB."

Wow!

As soon as this was said, the scene was boiling.

Although it was expected, many people were still shocked when the number "600 million" appeared.

This is going to break the record again!

"What about abroad?" The reporter of the Sixth Princess asked again.

"At least it has to surpass "Source Code" first, starting with 200 million US dollars, and I hope it can have a good result in the end."

For a while, the scene became more lively.

This is no longer a rocket, this is to truly establish the position of the first person in the mainland film and television industry!

Art, business, big scenes... take turns to play!

…

The interview is over, and the banquet officially begins!

The group of people who flew over from Hollywood really saw the enthusiasm of domestic actors and directors, especially Leonardo. He didn't have time to come down that night, and took group photos one after another.

The Chinese way of hospitality is enthusiasm. For friends who come from afar, they naturally have to make them feel at home.

It was already late after the banquet, and everyone went their separate ways. The people in Hollywood stayed in the five-star hotel that Chen Fei specially arranged for them.

Most people were not in a hurry to go back. They made an appointment to visit domestic attractions.

Chen Long was invited by everyone to be their guide. The eldest brother did not refuse. He agreed to the request of a group of people very casually and promised to lead them to visit the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland.

This is a great publicity opportunity. The actors' oral accounts will attract fans and drive the development of the tourism industry.

The Film Bureau expressed great attention, and even the Cultural and Tourism Bureau became nervous. They contacted Chen Fei specifically and said that they would arrange people to help.

When these people see the grand occasion of the motherland and feel the hospitable atmosphere, they will definitely become one of the tourism advocates after returning to Hollywood...

Just when all parties were busy, the time came to December 23.

The first-day box office data of "Mulan" was freshly released.

78.65 million!

When this data was posted on the front page of major portals and major entertainment newspapers, the entire domestic entertainment industry was completely blown up!

"What the hell is this for? Are these fans crazy?"

In the Huayi office, the two brothers of the Wang family looked at the data on the Internet and were stunned.

On the other hand, at Chengtian Entertainment, Wu Kebo and his "godsister" Jiang Yiyan were stunned and could not come back to their senses for a long time.

Chengtian has been established for two years and has invested in no less than ten movies, but they have never heard of such a terrifying first-day box office data as "Mulan"!

After receiving the news, directors such as Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Yimou sighed silently in their hearts.

"He succeeded again..."
