Chapter 234: Enthusiasm!

The weather was sunny in the morning. A red carpet was laid at the entrance of Beijing New Century Cinema. At this time, a large number of movie fans gathered on the carpet. They all looked about 20 years old, and there were also young middle school students with young faces full of smiles. They held cameras, posters and other objects in their hands. From time to time, they looked at the cinema and laughed at each other and talked about something.

"If my class knew that I got Wang Yang's signature, haha!", "What are you showing off? Wang Yang is still waving to me! Say-hi!", "Damn, you're envious, it's so good! Haha!", "Natalie Portman is so beautiful!", "She and Wang Yang seem to be very good!", "I didn't expect that Daniel Wu's Mandarin is worse than Wang Yang.", "Shen Qi Yang also has a Beijing accent."...

Nearly ten security guards at the door were listening to these words absent-mindedly, guarding the door absent-mindedly. The screams caused by the red carpet entrance before were still uncontrollable. They were also chatting and discussing: "These students are crazy, Wang Yang and Wang Yang shouted so hard that my ears were hurting." "The tickets inside were more than a hundred and a thousand, and they were snatched up all at once. You can't buy them even if you have money. Are you crazy?" "That's a good seat, you'll have to fry thousands of them!"

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding--" The screening hall for the premiere of the theater was full of space, and the audience was watching the slot machines rolling on the big screen. They were excited and full of expectations. Will the chance of 1/260,000+ win?

"Survey of Las Vegas" has arrived at the final shot. Just as the third slot machine was about to stop slowly, the song sounded and the picture turned black, and the cast appeared: "Director: Wang Yang; Screenwriter: Wang Yang, Ben Mozridge..."

First there was a low voice, followed by a thunderous applause. The entire screening room seemed to be boiling. The audience who came here kept applauding and applauding. Although this movie had no big scenes, it made them feel excited. Compared with European and American audiences, those thoughtful but delicate pictures, the ultimate pleasure of sweeping the casino... They felt it deeper and more involved.

Seeing the amazing gambling table counting cards, the team silently but communicated without any obstacles, and seeing the playing cards flying all over the sky... Many viewers felt shocked, it was so awesome!

Listening to the deafening applause around them, everyone's smiling faces also attended the highly anticipated premiere. Han Sanping, who was also applauding, couldn't help but feel a little moved. He glanced at Wang Yang and others who were smiling and stood up. The doll really knows how to make a commercial film! Although it is meaningless, it is weird, the music is noisy and noisy, the camera is scary, and it has been changed before it can be seen clearly, and a lot of lines that can't be heard...

But there are so many stars, there are six people in one team! And you can throw away all the money at will, so young people like it!

Han Sanping suddenly felt that "Jade Guanyin" released in the New Year holiday this year was not enough. Just Zhao Wei and Nicholas Tse, how could they be a big star scene? However, he has been adapting Zhao Benfu's novel "The World Without Thieves" with Feng Xiaogang. He wanted to invite all the biggest stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan to play the leading role. Andy Lau and others called him, so that Xiaogang could learn more about this magical element that young people like, such action special effects, funny lines... He doesn't believe that he can't make a big-name commercial film!

"Damn, it's so good!" Chen Lisen, who watched with his friends in the audience, plucked his hands hard, and it cost hundreds of dollars to grab the ticket quickly, but it was really worth it! It was so satisfying to watch... He turned his head to look at a few classmates and friends, and praised: "It's really worthy of being a god-like young man! We're not wrong. Now I think those gambling movies in Hong Kong are far inferior to being funny, and the real adaptation is different! It's so professional, nothing to say!"

"Yes, it's really professional. This isn't a gambling movie, right?" A tall and thin boy wearing frameless glasses nodded excitedly and asked. A beautiful girl next to her dressed in a fashionable way and fluttered hair said softly: "Oh my god, why is Daniel Wu so handsome? Suddenly I was a little moved... They walked onto the stage!" She couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Wang Yang--!"

The big screen behind the stage has already rolled the show and changed into the promotional poster. Wang Yang is wearing a long black trench coat and jeans, and his casual clothes show his youth; Daniel Wu, who is in a suit jacket and jeans, is also very handsome; Natalie and Rachel are also walking on the stage together. Both are casual and fashionable, with light makeup on their faces and ponytails.

"Hello everyone!" Several people came to the middle of the stage and took the microphone handed over by the staff. Wang Yang looked at the media reporters and ordinary movie fans in the audience and greeted him happily. The film was still endless, and the applause and cheers were also exciting. The people who applauded him all felt very friendly to Chinese people, and the same beautiful feeling as Chinatown.

The fans immediately responded loudly. Some viewers stood up in the audience in an area, and shouted out of control: "young--"

"Thank you, thank you." Wang Yang smiled and raised his palm. Daniel Wu and Natalie, who were holding the microphone, also smiled. After the chaotic voice stopped, looking at the audience, Wang Yang smiled and said, "Thank you for coming here to attend this premiere! I am very happy to get everyone's applause, I am very happy to see everyone like "Conquer Las Vegas", and I am very happy to come to China and come here."

This time I went on stage to say hello and thank you, so he didn't express much emotion, and just smiled: "This movie has many Chinese elements, the male protagonist is Chinese elements, and the director is also Chinese elements. Maybe for this reason, my translator thinks it is really friendly and very enthusiastic. Thank you everyone!"

"Haha!" Many viewers chuckled a few times. In fact, Shenqiyang's Chinese is indeed very fluent, with no grammatical errors, but sometimes there are still some weirdness in the accent, but it is enough to do translation.

Among the other three people on the stage, Daniel Wu can basically understand Mandarin, and it’s a mess. Natalie can understand and speak simple words with daily words. Most of her Chinese skills are learned by chatting with Wang Yang, and of course she can’t express it clearly in many cases. Rachel is limited to “hello” and “goodbye” who are specifically learning for this trip. Now she can’t understand what he says, and she only has a puzzled smile on her face.

"Hello everyone." After Wang Yang said that, it was Daniel Wu's turn after a thunderous applause. The audience and fans are naturally more familiar with him. Last year's "New Junior Sister" made more people recognize this handsome and gentle man. He held the microphone and laughed in broken Mandarin: "I'm also very happy that everyone likes it. This movie is a big challenge for me. Fortunately, the director said that I acted well... so please support me!"

There was another burst of warm applause in the theater. These are the places worth returning to the ticket price! Seeing Natalie Portman lifting the microphone, the fans of the movie fans calmed down. I heard that she could speak Chinese. Is this true?

"Hello, friends!" Natalie did not disappoint the audience, and smiled and asked in unstandard Mandarin. A large number of applause and cheers arose from the audience. Whenever foreigners come to China, there is a fixed part of learning to speak a few Mandarin. Now seeing her speak so well, fans naturally feel very happy. Natalie once again felt the enthusiasm of the fans when she walked on the red carpet before, and was also very happy.

"This premiere is a different, special experience. I sincerely thank you for your support and blessings all the time." Natalie said, as if she was organizing the language. She looked at Wang Yang with a smile on her face, "Do you need a translation?". She ignored her and said, "Conquering Las Vegas is one of the most... exciting movies I have played. It's very cool, and your applause is also very cool, thank you!"

"Okay!!" The applause in the screening room exploded instantly. Because she called out the applause, the audience applauded very hard this time. The decibels were even bigger than Wang Yang's just now. Many movie fans laughed in an interesting way. Natalie Portman would say it was exciting, it was so exciting! Next is Rachel McAdams. Will she speak Chinese?

"You howl, everyone howl!" Rachel raised the microphone and smiled and said hello to practice many times. There was a burst of applause from the audience. The audience didn't think there was anything wrong, but Wang Yang wanted to laugh a little. After teaching so many times, he couldn't correct it. She was still very surprised: "What is the difference between howl and howl?"

But what disappointed the fans was that after Rachel finished speaking, she laughed in English and said something in English. After several sentences, Rachel smiled in mechanical Chinese again: "Tight back is a very weak spring style, I'm tightly back and-china!" She forgot the words and her tongue was unclear, so she had to smile and finish the final words in English: "im-very-happy-to-see-you-all-here! Thank you!"

The audience gave loud applause again. Wang Yang held back his smile and clapped his hands together. Natalie murmured her lips without making a sound: "Bobei..." Rachel felt that she was speaking very well, but in the end she was too anxious. She smiled and looked at the translator next to her.

"Hello, hello everyone!" Wang Yang swallowed the laughter that did not come out of laughter and translated seriously into the microphone: "It is a very surprising and honor to be able to see you who live on the other side of the earth, supporting "The Capture of Las Vegas" and my performance. In this movie, I play a smart female detective, but you have never surpassed mitteers. This is regrettable."

He smiled, Daniel Wu and Natalie also smiled, and he continued, "When I first saw traditional Chinese decorative clothes, I was moved by its charm. This time I will buy a lot of things to see the Great Wall." He paused and smiled, "Beijing is a very beautiful city. I love Beijing and China! Finally, I am very happy to meet you here, thank you!"

Deafening applause suddenly sounded in the theater. It was not until the four main creators stepped off the stage that the fans stopped applauding, and the Beijing premiere also came to an end.

China will not be released until August 16th. However, in North America, the new weekend box office rankings for the new week from August 8 to 10th have been released. This second weekend in August, "21", which won the championship with 49.67 million last weekend, continues to surprise the media industry with an unexpected surprise, and continues to surprise the flame movie. After it won 75.26 million in the whole week of the first week, the decline and change over the weekend was only 31.5%, sweeping down 34.02 million in the box office!

This made it defend the title of the weekend rankings, and the total box office in North America also exceeded 109 million to 109 million, which took only 10 days!

The 31.5% decline and change were also the least among the top 12 this week. The well-received drama "The Pentium Age" fell by 32.2%, while the Pirates of the Caribbean was 33.9%.

For this result, Flame Movie really feels like discovering another treasure in the treasure. It is because this real story that is interesting to both men, women, and young people are too attractive. The reputation of the film reviews and the public are both thumbs up, which makes too many viewers waiting for the first week make a decision? The new battlefield in the same period does not have enough competitiveness? Perhaps these reasons are all, and the result is that the box office exceeds 100 million in 10 days, and the magical Yang rises wildly.

With a total North American box office of 1.552 billion, Wang Yang's ranking officially surpassed Chris Columbus and Robert Zemegis, rising to second place in history, and continued to chase Steven Spielberg, 57-year-old 3.0884 billion at the age of 23. The 109 million "mit-21-team" is also catching up with the 164 million "Attack on the Impossible". It seems that the days when it ruled the two movie genres of "gambling and liars" are not far away.

The second place this weekend is the newly released action film "Counter-Terrorism SWAT team", starring Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez and others. The scene is very popular. It received a box office of 30.06 million on the first weekend, but the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 48%, and the audience likes it 63%, which is labeled as "cliché", "unexciting action film", and "boring".

The newly released "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" ranked third with 20.2 million. The film was remake from the 1976 version. The starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsey Lohan, 88% freshness and 60% liked by the audience, which shows that this is an acceptable but no surprises. However, there are stunning performances in "Born of a Couple". Lindsey Lohan, who was a child star, really makes people see her bright prospects.

The fourth place is 10.46 million American Pie 3, the fifth place is 10.12 million Pirates of the Caribbean, and 9.95 million "The Pentium Era"...

After the morning premiere, after lunch and rest, the afternoon premiere conference was held as scheduled in the news hall. In addition to Wang Yang, there were nearly 400 media reporters, newspapers, magazines, and TV Internet... After the photo session, we came to the Q&A session. A row of cameras were set up behind the crowded reporter's seats. In the camera, Wang Yang and Natalie were sitting behind a long table, with microphones, mineral water and other items on each position on the table.

"Director Wang, can you predict how much Chinese box office "Conquer Las Vegas" has achieved? What are your expectations?"

The concentrated Q&A session has been going on for a long time. The reporters rushed to raise their hands and asked the four people one after another. Among them, Wang Yang was the person who was most concerned. At this time, the male reporter of Sina.com asked another question, which is also the current focus. Will Shenqi Yang perform magically in China? For everyone to understand, the regular female translator arranged by China Film immediately translated it clearly in English.

"Of course, the higher my expectations, the better. No one thinks the box office is too much." Wang Yang smiled and answered a cunning answer. The reporters below all laughed. The male reporter with a national face refused to give up and asked, "Can you tell a goal?" Wang Yang thought for a while, there was no need to say those words now, and smiled: "I hope I can surpass myself! I'm very happy that I can break 100 million."

This is obviously not the answer the reporters want, such as "beyond the Titanic, the highest current history", but Shenqiyang itself is a hot news, and there is no difference between these eye-catching contents. Another female reporter from a daily newspaper got the opportunity to ask questions. She held the microphone and stood up and asked, "Mr. Wang, you just said 'No one thought it was too much of the box office'. Is this what you want most to get when you come to China this time?"

Looking at her serious face, Wang Yang was slightly stunned. She meant that "Did you come to China for the sake of box office and making money?" He couldn't help but smile, not angry. This was probably just to provoke trouble and create news. For example, in Los Angeles, a reporter asked the topic of "Challenge Spielberg". In any case, these are very impolite ways to ask questions, and he could choose not to answer; but he didn't want to default on this question.

"Did I say it wrong? Just the words themselves, 'No one thinks there is too much box office,' did I say it wrong?" Wang Yang smiled and asked the long-haired female reporter. She was speechless and the reporters couldn't help but chuckled. Wang Yang had no intention of attacking anyone, and said seriously: "The box office represents a lot, one of which is the audience's love for the movie..."

Natalie and Rachel next to him were both dissatisfied with him. The news atmosphere was pleasant, but this question was too much. Daniel Wu, who kept smiling, sighed in his heart. Even the actor, he knew that it would be better to go to Europe, Australia and other countries to do publicity from a commercial perspective, because even if mainland China can get 300 million yuan in box office, it may only make millions of dollars in the end?

Daniel Wu is not aware of the share ratio of mainland theaters, as well as the agreement signed by "Conquer Las Vegas" and China Film Group. According to some situations in Hong Kong and what he knows, the theaters are divided by half. If China Film and Television shares another 50%, it is roughly calculated that the 300 million box office Flame Movies will be less than 10 million US dollars, and they will have to pay taxes. But that is 300 million box office! Now he knows that the 100 million box office in the mainland is so high.

Why are there few Hollywood film creators going to Hong Kong and mainland China to do publicity? Because they have no money to make money, the company does not arrange the schedule and use the schedules in other countries. Now this question is really a misunderstanding of Wang Yang. Daniel Wu is very clear that when filming on the set, the director excitedly mentioned the publicity plan to go to China all day long, just like he came to Beijing to learn martial arts when he was a teenager.

"I came to China this time for publicity and to meet with my fans, and it's that simple!"

The movie premiere is over, and the crew's publicity work is about to end, but his personal itinerary has just begun! After Wang Yang finished answering, he ignored the female reporter. Looking at the reporters busy taking notes, he smiled and said, "The next question."
Chapter completed!
