Chapter 469, "October Siege" Begins
In the capital at this time.
In the most luxurious Fuding Shanda Restaurant.
"Don't worry, our resources this time will definitely give you the best treatment. The pre-sale tickets are already fully booked to an incredible level."
Wang Chen used a slightly respectful and serious attitude to talk to the people next to him.
"Mr. Wang, actually you don't have to talk to me in such a manner. We are friends. We just need to be right."
Next to Wang Chen was a blond man with big waves, a subordinate manager of the Russell Brothers from Hollywood.
Avengers, the main creator of Marvel.
If Hollywood is the ceiling, then this comes from the Russo brothers of Marvel. They are the ultimate in the business field.
Even if it was one of his assistants, Wang Chen would have to be careful in dealing with it.
Of course, this does not mean that they do not pay enough attention to this aspect. On the contrary, this is an attitude of attaching great importance to it. In fact, the Russo brothers on Marvel’s side are indeed free to participate in the overseas promotion of Marvel Studios. It's also a very important thing.
I was so busy that I could only let my personal assistant observe things in the Chinese market.
"All the preliminary work is ready, including schedule, offline announcements, everything has not been left behind."
Wang Chen took it for granted that this issue dominated the box office.
It is the Avengers, there will be no other person, the double champion of word-of-mouth and box office. This is a matter of course, a matter of course.
"Are there any Chinese movies you can recommend?" During the chat, this Marvel staff member named Jomari, with blond hair and wavy hair, actually said that she wanted to watch a Chinese movie.
This put Wang Chen in a difficult position. Could it be that he had eaten too much delicacies from the mountains and seas and wanted to eat some wild boar fine bran?
Frankly speaking, Wang Chen really can't recommend any Chinese-language movies. After all, this stuff is not even qualified to be eliminated by Hollywood.
Just when Wang Chen shook his head.
Qiao Marie said suddenly.
"Last time I heard, DC's Dark Knight encountered a little trouble here?"
The Dark Knight, DC's original ace, has gained a very good reputation around the world.
There are also box office results.
Of course, this does not mean that the box office in China is not good enough. His box office here is good enough. The gold content of the global box office champion is not limited. It is definitely not a vegetarian.
And precisely because of this, the world's certified box office champion and word-of-mouth champion, China is no exception. Some small public opinions will not affect the overall situation. This is the most basic thing.
But there is one thing that is a little surprising, or should be a little surprising.
This small group of public opinion has allowed Marvel to capture it, which is a very interesting thing.
That is. A director named Li Yun seems to have redefined the feeling of a superhero.
It made Joe Marie a little bit interested, and a little bit interested in the Russo brothers.
I didn't expect it. Even Wang Chen couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen.
Wang Chen said after pondering for a moment.
"The director named Li Yun did have a schedule with us this time, if you are interested."
Since this foreigner is interested in eating some chaff.
Then let him take a bite.
In this strong schedule, this year's seeded players will naturally not come out to compete head-on with the Avengers. They decisively moved the schedule of "The Grandmaster" to December.
I wouldn't be stupid enough to go head-to-head with Marvel.
This time everyone is the victim.
If possible, Chen Kexin doesn't want to confront Marvel head-on. But Xie Qingya feels that if he doesn't even have the courage to fight, how can he catch up?
Of course, the main reason is that it has been blocked now.
Regardless of whether it is Xie Qingya, she has the same focus on this work. She needs to make people within Huaying feel confident, and being timid before fighting is not an act of self-confidence.
No, she needs strong self-confidence this time, whether it is self-confidence within Huaying or self-confidence for outsiders.
They all forced her to enter here.
What's the use of being afraid? There's no way to avoid it, so let's fight! Nothing to fear! ?
On the eve of the broadcast, Xie Qingya asked Li Yun.
"Are you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of? If I don't have any self-confidence, how can I dare to say arrogant words?" Li Yun said calmly, facing Xie Qingya's call, he was not afraid at all.
Marvel can steal the box office, and my October Siege Sword is not at a disadvantage either!
"That's right. You are directing and acting yourself, and you are almost halfway through the work. How can you not be confident?"
And if you have to say so, even Li Yun participated in most of the changes in the script. It can be said that many parts have nothing to do with Chen Kexin, and it is completely Li Yun's own script.
Even Chen Kexin admitted that to a certain extent, he wrote, directed and acted in this movie.
"By the way, let's add a self-sing." Li Yun joked.
Xie Qingya was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth twitched.
"No"
Xie Qingya knew from the beginning that Li Yun participated in the arrangement of the theme song, which caused quite a stir on the Internet. However, now that Li Yun said that the theme song was sung by you yourself!
Xie Qingya said subconsciously.
"Our crew is not that poor yet, right?"
Let the director take action personally.
Li Yun didn't comment, just smiled.
Of course, the soundtrack can only be used as a point of complaint, and the real proof is the quality of the movie.
The quality of the movie is the hard truth.
"See you in the cinema in two days, looking forward to your masterpiece."
"Sure." At this time, Li Yun teased: "If my work can make some achievements this time, will there be any extra rewards?"
Extra rewards?
When Xie Qingya heard this, she actually had a feeling of imagination. Rarely, an emotion that had never appeared in the past years appeared in her mind.
The appearance of this emotion made her face red.
He. Is this what he meant?
The emotion that had not been disturbed for a long time appeared at this moment, this queen of the entertainment industry who came from a noble family.
However, what Li Yun was thinking about was how to ask her for resources at this time.
And she had to be willing to give up the resources.
Then the results speak.
At this moment, in the villa area in the center of Beijing.
Even in 2000, the houses here would cost tens of millions, not to mention now, each set of which may not be bought at a price of hundreds of millions.
It is Liu Xixi's home, or the home of her mother and adoptive father.
Liu Xixi has no sense of belonging here. It can only be said that it is a place to live. The place where she feels a sense of belonging is actually the apartment of less than 80 square meters. She feels more at home there.
There is another place.
At this time, Liu Xixi also blushed a little. There is actually another place where she feels a sense of belonging, but she is not too embarrassed to say it.
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Lili looked at her daughter today, wearing a light blue dress, slightly frowning, and looking very beautiful under light makeup. This is how she is described as natural beauty.
Liu Lili is conceited that she is also a beauty, but it is her daughter who really inherited all the beauty. But beauty is not necessarily a gift in any era, but in this family, it is a full gift.
Liu Lili once thought that no one could match her daughter, and she was sincerely proud of her daughter.
But now there is a man who has broken into her world.
For Liu Lili, from the initial resistance, to not so much resistance, and now, there is an idea that Liu Lili dare not admit, this idea is curiosity, the curiosity about this lecher who touches her daughter.
His talent.
His works.
Now it can arouse her curiosity and make her want to peek, just like this time, if it were the previous time, she would definitely choose to watch the Avengers during this time, this is the first stage of Marvel Studios.
But at this time, she has a different feeling. In fact, this can be tried.
"Mom?"
Liu Xixi looked at her mother in a daze, and didn't know what she was thinking. After a long pause, she just pondered.
"Wait for me."
"Where are you going."
"The same place as you."
This premiere was quite lively. After all, "October Besieged City" is also an all-star lineup, and there are many stars and big names participating.
"I heard you sang the last song! I haven't heard you sing yet." Liang Jiahui looked at Li Yun with a curious look on his face: "You are going to be the best actor among singers like our Jacky Cheung."
"You flatter me." Jacky Cheung smiled slightly.
Of course, his eyebrows were slightly curious.
In the past, these kings were basically proficient in singing, dancing and acting. There are no such artists in this era.
Basically, they specialize in one thing, rather than choosing the so-called multi-head development. Generally speaking, if you choose to have everything, the final result is to lose everything.
This is an obvious truth.
In this era, no one does this anymore. Chen Kexin next to him looks a little depressed. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with music.
He can only comfort himself that this is not a decisive factor.
It is not too positively correlated with the quality of the film itself.
In addition, there are many special guests at this premiere.
Among them, the most beautiful ones are the three flowers, who make Li Yuchun and even Fan Bingbing feel ashamed.
Xie Qingya, wearing a noble professional women's clothing, is close to 1.8 meters tall in high heels. Her mature charm with big waves and narrow phoenix eyes give her a unique charm, especially the wisdom in her eyes, which is the feeling of wisdom. It is an element that many people do not have.
Liu Xixi on the other side is completely different from Xie Qingya. She is very beautiful with a little makeup. She is also tall, but she has a sense of being out of this world.
Liu Lili is not much inferior to Liu Xixi. She has delicate features. Although there are some traces of time on her face, she has a little more mature charm than Liu Xixi. The most important thing is that all the actors present know that she holds the resources of Hollywood in her hands. She is definitely not just a vase beauty. She has the "power" that people fear.
After entering the venue, these three people can basically be said to be the most beautiful among all the beauties.
"So beautiful."
The reporters from various media nearby all sighed, looking at the three beauties in front of them, they also felt that they were very pleasing to the eyes.
No matter how good the quality of the movie is, at least the beauties present are enough to appreciate.
Li Yun was a little surprised that an unexpected person came to the premiere this time, that is, Liu Xixi's mother.
"Brother Li, I brought my mother here without permission, it should be okay, right?" Liu Xixi said timidly beside him.
"Of course you are welcome, there are plenty of vacancies here." Li Yun nodded slightly and said, "Aunt Liu, if you come here to appreciate the work, then I warmly welcome you."
At this time.
Li Yun's words were a little indifferent.
While many people have some awe, Li Yun will not have this attitude.
Liu Lili also felt this and she knew it.
Li Yun never had the feeling of trying to please others. This equal attitude made Liu Lili feel very interesting.
"Director Li, please come in. I hope your movie will not disappoint me. I will not feel that it is a waste to come here specially."
"Aunt Liu, are you a normal person?"
"Of course I am a normal person." Faced with this question, Liu Lili was a little unhappy. Who is not normal?
Li Yun showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile.
"As long as they are normal people with normal appreciation levels, my movies are good movies, and my works are good works."
Strong self-confidence flows around Li Yun
Liu Lili was silent for a moment, but also sat down. On the other side, Liu Xixi and Xie Qingya made eye contact. Xie Qingya smiled slightly: "Nice to meet you. My name is Xie Qingya. I am the first-level person in charge of Huaying's internal investment and a member of the Xie family in Beijing."
"Liu Xixi, Brother Li's friend, an actor!"
Liu Xixi smiled and said: "And this is not the first time we meet. We met when we were in the Three-Body crew."
It was Xie Qingya's turn to be embarrassed. I didn't expect Liu Xixi to introduce herself like this.
"Sister, let's watch a movie today! I believe in Brother Li's work." Liu Xixi sat down carelessly.
Innocent? Flawless?
Xie Qingya didn't know how to describe the girl in front of her.
But at least it is certain that she is definitely not weak. Under the background of her eyes, there is a kind of perseverance.
"Yes, this time I came here for Mr. Li's movie." Xie Qingya smiled and sat next to Liu Qianqian.
Turn off the lights.
The big screen of the movie lights up, and "October Besieged City" officially begins.
