Chapter 673 The Grandest Premiere Event in the History of Chinese-Language Films!

On the 25th, the weather was fine!

In the heart of the capital, outside the "Bird's Nest", a magnificent building that symbolizes the glory and dream of the country, a long queue has formed since 7 o'clock in the morning.

There are 91,000 seats, and it takes at least several hours just to enter!

The media and reporters have already been squatting on the scene, carrying long guns and short guns, preparing films, and preparing for a tough battle!

Because here is about to stage an unprecedented movie premiere, a visual feast that brings together countless top stars at home and abroad, integrates art and technology, and connects Eastern and Western cultures.

As the last rays of the setting sun slowly sink into the horizon, the night sky of the capital gradually opens its deep and mysterious curtain.

And the Bird's Nest, a landmark building known as the "fourth generation gymnasium", glows with unprecedented light at this time.

The entire venue is surrounded by carefully arranged lights, and the golden lights and silver steel structures complement each other, as if a huge gem is inlaid in the center of the city, shining brightly!

As the ordinary audiences finished entering, the "red carpet" - the golden road leading to glory and dreams, had already been slowly rolled out at the entrance of the Bird's Nest.

On both sides of the red carpet, hundreds of etiquette ladies and security personnel dressed in gorgeous dresses were ready to greet every distinguished guest who was about to step onto the red carpet with the most professional attitude.

The air was filled with anticipation and tension, and everyone held their breath, waiting for that moment to come.

As the first luxury car slowly drove into the scene, the prelude of the entire premiere officially opened!

The car door opened slightly, and the first star took the lead in stepping onto the red carpet.

"Fuck?! Brother Chen Long is here!"

"Quickly take a picture! Today's scene may be the biggest scene in the development of the entertainment industry so far!"

As Chen Long entered, soon, luxury cars drove into the scene one after another.

Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Gu Tianle, Zhang Jiahui...

As if it was an agreement, the celebrities and artists from Hong Kong Island took the lead in entering.

For a moment, flashes flooded in like a tide, shutter sounds came one after another, and the media and fans rushed forward to capture this rare moment.

Cars stopped one after another and quickly drove away from the scene.

Huo Wenxi led a group of people from Feiyinghuang Agency onto the red carpet, officially opening the entrance of domestic actors.

Wang Baoqiang, Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Hu Ge, Pan Yueming, Zhang Ruoyun, Jiao Enjun, Zun Long...

Chen Hao, Tong Liya, Zhu Zhu, Wan Qian, Guli Nazha, Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi, Mao Xiaotong...

Today is also a rare event, so Huo Wenxi directly brought all the famous actors and newly signed artists under the company.

Nearly 50 artists, spanning three levels of young, middle-aged, and old actors, are constantly eye-catching.

Following closely behind were the top film and television production companies and agencies in the industry, including Guangguang, Starlight, Yinghuang, Huayi, Chengtian, Shiyi Culture, LeTV, Tangren, Bona, etc.

And a number of top-tier stars who have already opened their own personal studios in the mainland, such as Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbin, Zhou Xun, Ni Ni, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Liu Ye, Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, etc., all attended the event.

Then, the mainland directors also arrived at the scene.

Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke, Chen Kaige, Chen Guofu, Gu Changwei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Ning Hao, Kang Honglei, Wang Shiliang, Shen Ao, Lu Yang, Li Yang Animation, Yang Yu...

The invitation letter for today's premiere was sent directly to the entire domestic entertainment industry, and almost no one who could spare the time would refuse to come.

Hard science fiction is very rare in China, and this kind of science fiction film shot with an investment of more than 700 million yuan is unique in the mainland film and television industry.

The previous movie "Gravity" has already given many people a strong shock, and now "The Martian" is coming, which makes many people feel extremely curious.

Since the premiere can be held at the Bird's Nest, Chen Fei must be very confident.

Everyone wants to join in the fun and see how shocking this movie is.

When seeing Han Sanping, La Peikang and a group of leaders from the Film Bureau, Aerospace Bureau, Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Ministry of Culture, and External Propaganda Department all arrived, many media at the scene began to take a breath.

"This lineup! It's amazing!"

"Fuck? So many leaders are here? Are they going to give maximum support?"

"By the way, where is Director Chen? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"The crew will probably arrive last, right?"

As soon as the discussion here started, Guo Fan led the other "The Martian" crew members except Chen Fei and Liu Yifei onto the red carpet at the outer edge of the red carpet.

In the crowd, Zhao Liying, who was walking in the front row, felt her heart beating very fast. She thought about the first time she walked the red carpet, she walked with Liu Yifei at the movie "Your Name".

However, she was just a nobody at the time.

Now, she has jumped from a nobody to a second-tier actress, and the female lead drama "The Journey of Flower" starring her is about to be released.

But before that, she will appear as the second female lead in "The Martian". It is no exaggeration to say that this movie will be one of her most impressive resumes!

"Huh? Where is the protagonist?"

As the flash lights came on, doubtful voices began to spread.

All the main creators of the crew have walked onto the red carpet, but the male and female protagonists have not yet appeared. What is going on?

Just as everyone was puzzled, the other members of the crew of "The Martian" had already walked into the venue quickly and did not stay on the red carpet for too long.

And in the next second, luxury minibuses suddenly drove in one after another outside the red carpet!

Under the attention of the crowd, Liu Yifei took Chen Fei's arm and slowly stepped onto the red carpet area.

The two did not rush forward. After stepping onto the red carpet, they looked back, as if waiting for something.

The doors of the minibuses opened one after another, and then one after another, foreign top stars and directors appeared!

Leonardo Dicaprio, Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey, Robert Downey, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Chris Evans...

Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman...

Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Michael Bay, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Woody Allen, Wen Ziren...

The arrival of each superstar or Hollywood director caused a commotion and cheers at the scene. At this moment, their style and temperament seemed to have become the most beautiful scenery on the red carpet!

At this moment, there were only three words in the minds of the media at the scene that were constantly repeated.

"New Year! New Year! New Year!"

Led by Chen Fei and Liu Yifei, a group of foreigners who came from Hollywood to China waved happily to both sides, and then followed the two into the venue.

To be honest, Chen Fei himself did not expect that so many people from Hollywood would come!

He originally thought that after the invitation was sent out, he might be rejected by many people, but he never thought that most people would cross the ocean to go to this ancient country to support him.

As China develops more and more, it has gradually surpassed Japan, South Korea and other countries to become the largest box office in Asia.

Since "Transformers", "Pacific Rim", and Marvel's movies have continued to achieve high box office in China, the Chinese market has become Hollywood's target.

Among the many people who came today, at least half came for publicity.

In 2014, many Hollywood blockbusters have been confirmed to be screened in China, and because of this, more and more Hollywood filmmakers have made this place one of the focus of publicity.

Especially as "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" officially enters the 2 billion box office era, for Hollywood, this also indicates that the Chinese market has the potential to exceed "300 million US dollars" in box office.

For such a market to be developed, they will definitely not give up this great opportunity.

…

When the last guest stepped onto the red carpet, the official part of the premiere began.

In the Bird's Nest, the 91,000 seats were already full, and the audience looked at the center of the stage with expectation, waiting for the movie to start.

The lighting and sound equipment on the stage have been carefully debugged and have achieved the most perfect effect.

For today's premiere, Chen Fei spent a huge amount of money to build the first outdoor iMax screen in East Asia on the stage of the Bird's Nest, just to achieve the best viewing experience.

Today, there was no host. The male lead Chen Fei and Guo Fan, the director of "The Martian" who suddenly became a little socially anxious, were responsible for warming up the audience.

"You'll know in a minute. I'm almost sick of eating potatoes. I grow and eat them every day, and I have to show a very delicious expression. Sometimes I feel that it's not easy for me..."

The interview session didn't last too long. The creators almost said one or two sentences and then kept silent.

In addition to being a little nervous, the key is that time is tight!

There are too many audiences here. After the premiere, everyone has to leave. In order to avoid a stampede, the only way is to speed up the progress.

The guests on the scene don't mind this accelerated interview progress, because the most important part of today is the movie screening.

The landform of Hongya Mountain is really suitable for filming a movie about Mars.

As the screening began, everyone took out 3D glasses from under their seats and watched this unique premiere event.

The first act unfolded. The members of the Mars team encountered a big storm, and Chen Fei, a botanist, was accidentally left behind...

A self-help Mars farming operation officially began.

"Haha, this self-deprecation is so funny. I didn't expect it! Director Chen actually has such a funny side."

"Fei is worthy of being the director of "Inception". The visual effects of "The Martian" are amazing, not inferior to "Avatar" at all."

"Are domestic films already so awesome?"

"My God! He's playing with shit!"

"Potatoes! Look! The potatoes are sprouting!"

Such a large venue, it is inevitable that there will be discussions.

However, from these voices, it can be heard that many people at the scene are very satisfied with the visual effects and story integrity of this movie.

That iMax screen played an extremely excellent effect.

At the same time, with the help of many special effects companies such as Dianjing Digital, Digital Domain, and Industrial Light and Magic, Chen Fei also boldly played holographic projection.

When the rocket launch and the scene of Chen Fei and Liu Yifei floating over Mars appeared, everyone at the scene was surprised to find that the same scene actually appeared over the Bird's Nest!

The whole sky glowed red in an instant, and a huge Mars suddenly appeared above everyone's head, which made people tremble, shocked and excited!

After more than two hours of movie screening, the lights in the Bird's Nest were turned on again, and the audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

This is the most sincere praise and recognition of the film, and the highest respect for everyone involved in the creation and performance.

Afterwards, the film's creative team and main actors took to the stage to express their most sincere thanks and blessings to the audience!

At this time, a sentence just appeared on the iMax screen:

"I am the first person to own the entire planet alone - "The Martian"!

When seeing this sentence, many people at the scene felt very shocked, and the vast space and the gorgeous special effects seemed to appear in their minds again!

For a movie, the box office is always the best evidence.

This time, the reporter invited by the Six Princesses asked about the box office for the first time:

"Director Chen, Director Guo, I wonder what your box office expectations are for this movie?"

This question made everyone at the scene prick up their ears.

Guo Fan slowly put down the microphone and looked at Chen Fei.

Although this movie was directed by him, in the eyes of the outside world, it is still Chen Fei's work. After all, the producer and supervisor are both Chen Fei, and he is more like a tool man.

Of course, he is also very willing to be a tool man!

Others want to be but have no chance!

However, he actually wants to prove himself in his heart, so after the movie is over, he plans to shoot a science fiction film independently.

He has even adapted half of the script.

In his spare time, he has been communicating with the original author, hoping to make the script more perfect, and then let Chen Fei check it.

At the same time, in response to reporters' questions, Chen Fei smiled and said under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in the venue:

"We have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this project. Director Guo Fan has devoted more than a year of hard work to finally show the finished film. In terms of box office, I hope he can live up to the hard work of all investors and the main creative team, and let's take the No. 1 domestic film box office as the goal!"

After the voice fell, warm applause rang out again at the scene.

Many bosses of production companies below were envious and jealous.

You know, the box office performance of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has reached 2.15 billion, and it is about to break 2.2 billion.

Based on this, if "The Martian" wants to break the record, it must get more than 2.2 billion box office during the Spring Festival.

If this goal is really achieved, then it will make a fortune again!

…

The premiere officially ended, and the ordinary audience in the venue began to leave one by one. The domestic and foreign first-line stars, artists, directors, producers, and bigwigs who attended the event were invited to the banquet to start socializing and carnival.

Although the Bird's Nest has returned to tranquility and solemnity, everything that happened on this night will be forever engraved in people's hearts.

The next morning, the China Film, Film Bureau, Culture, Culture and Tourism and other departments jointly praised the premiere event:

"This movie premiere that brings together countless top stars from home and abroad, integrates art and technology, and connects Eastern and Western cultures is not only a double feast of vision and soul, but also an important milestone for the Chinese film industry to reach new heights and move towards the world stage!

In the days to come, we also look forward to more such feasts blooming on the land of China, allowing more people to feel the charm and power of movies, and jointly write a glorious chapter belonging to Chinese movies!"

The news on the Internet is even more exaggerated.

Many entertainment news websites pinned the premiere of "The Martian" on the front page, giving it a lot of coverage, encouragement, and praise!

"Final results: The pre-sale box office of The Martian premiere has exceeded 300 million RMB, breaking the box office record of Chinese-language films and TV series again."

"On January 31, The Martian will be officially released in major theaters around the world, so stay tuned!"

"After the Lunar New Year holiday, the 2014 Spring Festival holiday will usher in a new chapter!"

"Countless domestic and foreign superstars gathered at the premiere, and the first outdoor iMax screen + holographic projection made a stunning appearance. The premiere of The Martian will surely be recorded in film history!"

"Industry experts predict that the box office of The Martian may set a new record, breaking 3 billion!"

"The Shenzhou 10 manned spacecraft sent a congratulatory message. The three astronauts in space wished The Martian a record-breaking box office, and also hoped that my country's aerospace industry would set a new record!"

With the vigorous outbreak of a series of promotional methods for The Martian, the producers of several other films that will be released during the Spring Festival are going to be numb!

With such a strong opponent, they really look very weak!

Especially the crew of "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", their premiere event was held the day after the filming of "The Martian" ended.

Although many top celebrities in the circle came to the scene, this premiere was not popular on the Internet at all, and no one paid attention to them at all.

This is really a bummer!

The premiere was not popular, and the pre-sale box office did not sell much. In addition, many people on the Internet were not optimistic about the movie starring Zhen Zixuan, and the particularly troublesome Teacher Liu seemed to have a tendency to emerge recently...

Under the influence of this series of factors, the investors in Hong Kong suddenly panicked!

This movie... won't be ruined?
