Chapter 384 North American Premiere

On January 23, Los Angeles, the premiere of "Under One Person".

Although most of the film's main creators stayed in China, there were many stars present at the premiere, and even several of them were first-line stars.

For example, Robert Downey Jr. had previously contacted Jiang Heng for the casting of "Little Soldier Legend".

But because the pay was too high and he didn't want to play a villain, the cooperation was not negotiated.

However, the chat was good at the time, and both parties said that there was a suitable opportunity to work together.

Nowadays, it is rumored in the industry that several companies led by Sony Pictures are preparing to jointly invest 500 million US dollars to shoot a special effects blockbuster about the earth civilization fighting alien invaders, and they want Jiang Heng to direct it.

For this, Robert Downey Jr. also came.

In addition to him, Megan Fox, Tom Hiddleston, Johnny Depp and others were also present.

As for the less famous second- and third-tier actors, there were even more of them. After all, it was hosted by Columbia Pictures. Even if these people had nothing to do with Jiang Heng, they could get in through Columbia.

In front of the huge movie poster of "Under One Person", hot beauties took photos one after another.

More female stars drove beautiful sports cars, walked on the red carpet in beautiful dresses, took photos, signed autographs with fans, and then talked to Jiang Heng.

At this moment, no actor would despise Jiang Heng because he was Chinese, or have an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Because even James Cameron has never made a film with a total investment of 500 million US dollars, not to mention that Jiang Heng succeeded.

Hollywood is such a realistic place. If you succeed, people will come around to praise you.

If you fail, then I'm sorry, there will be no sympathy for the weak here.

Therefore, these beautiful female stars don't think there is anything wrong with pleasing a Chinese.

Instead, he envied Megan Fox, Jiang Heng's female companion, and secretly envied this little girl's good luck to be able to be with such a powerful person as Jiang Heng.

"Oh, dear, if eyes can kill, I don't think I can walk out alive today!"

Megan Fox looked at the female stars in the distance with pride, and said to Jiang Heng with a smile.

"So, are you happy?"

"Of course, I like their jealous expressions. To be honest, I am happier than receiving an award!"

Jiang Heng laughed and said nothing.

Because the event site was too busy, in addition to dealing with a group of stars, producers, directors and film company executives who came to support, the media reporters could not be neglected.

These people are actually not very interested in "Under One Person", because from the type of film, it is a bit like the mutants in "X-Men", or the Chinese version of "superheroes".

For such films, North American audiences just watch them for novelty, and the shocking effects like "Legend of the Little Soldier", "The Hero Company" and "The Three-Body Problem" are absolutely not achieved.

What the reporters were more concerned about was the so-called new film with a total investment of 500 million US dollars.

"Director Jiang Heng, I heard that you are interested in co-producing a science fiction war film with Sony Pictures and other companies with a total investment of 500 million (US dollars). Is that true?"

"Yes, there is such a thing. We were still negotiating not long ago!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The reporters couldn't help but sigh, and then asked: "So, may I ask if the cooperation intention has been reached? When will the film start shooting? Is the script finalized? Is it filmed in Hollywood?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "You asked so many questions at once, I have to answer them one by one!

Well, the preliminary cooperation intention has been reached. As for the film starting, I am afraid it will have to wait until the summer vacation. The script is still being revised. As for where to shoot, it depends on the final script."

"Wow!"

The reporters sighed again, and they were a little excited when they thought about it.

Known as the world's strongest commercial film director, the undisputed world's number one in the field of science fiction war, plus a total investment of 500 million US dollars, and the powerful strength of the Hollywood film industry, the reporters just felt excited when they thought about it.

It is expected that this movie will achieve good box office results, and it may even surpass "Legend of the Little Soldier"!

"So, Director Jiang Heng, do you plan to shift your work focus to Hollywood? After all, you have a company here, so you can be considered a member of Hollywood!"

Jiang Heng does have a film company and a special effects company in North America, but the scale is not very large and the strength is very limited.

"For the time being, I still don't consider it, because there are still too many themes that have not been filmed. I don't think I will shift my work focus here in 20 or 30 years!"

The media reporters were stunned when they heard this, because Jiang Heng's words were too blunt.

According to the conventional routine of the entertainment industry, you should at least say that you like Hollywood very much and want to shift your work focus here, but there are still some problems now.

Jiang Heng is good, that's not polite at all!

Fortunately, people with absolute strength can be "tolerated".

A reporter on the spot said that Director Jiang Heng has always been thinking about the film industry in his country, and he is really a person worthy of admiration.

After that, he applauded.

The others also applauded, making Jiang Heng look like a hero.

After the interview, it was time to watch the movie.

In the movie "Under One Person", Jiang Heng shot a smooth plot, and the visual effects were even more shocking and gorgeous, which was much better than the film and television version of the previous life.

What attracts the audience's attention even more is the portrayal of the heroine Feng Baobao, whether it is her cute personality, intermittent wit, appearance, or combat power, all have been enhanced.

Even in terms of Feng Baobao's eyes, Jiang Heng felt that Liu Yifei's performance was a little bit disappointing, so he used a "super microcomputer" to edit it frame by frame.

So much so that Liu Yifei was confused when she watched the movie at the trial screening within the company. She asked Jiang Heng in confusion, was the Feng Baobao on the big screen really played by herself?

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It must be so. Are you so tired that you forgot?"

In Hollywood, guests and reporters at the premiere were full of praise for Liu Yifei's performance.

I think the character Feng Baobao is really brilliant, very special.

As for the story and fighting style of the film, in their opinion, it is similar to Marvel's superhero movies, and overall it is slightly superior.

The Hollywood media's evaluation of "Under One Man" is relatively positive and objective. It is expected that the box office of the film will not be too bad after it is officially released.

Of course, it is unlikely that it will be a box office hit, as the subject matter is inherently limited.

But after the premiere in Hollywood, Jiang Heng received a call from Du Huan.

"Director Jiang, when are you going to come back?"

"Well, let's wait a few more days!"

"No, Director Jiang, come back quickly. I really can't bear it anymore. How many calls do I get in a day?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "It's not that exaggerated!"

"Exaggeration, I'm putting it mildly. You're in Hollywood, and you probably don't have time to read domestic news. Posts, forums, etc. are going to explode, and they're all asking you to come back to China!"
