Rebirth: Uranus Superstar

Chapter 709 Huge Iceberg

Half a month before New Year's Eve, Steel began its roadshows in more than [-] major countries around the world.

As for the New York station, it was Han Sen and Tang Wu who came together.

Although Han Sen held a concert in New York two years ago, because he had released anti-war songs such as "One day" and remained neutral on the Russo-Ukrainian War, he encountered resistance from some Warsaw citizens. Not only did Han Sen's Maple Leaf Country Toronto concert be cancelled, but it also spread to the New York concert.

However, even though it was boycotted, the fans of the New York concert were still very popular. They sang in a stadium with 10 people, which made the boycott of Hansen seem particularly ridiculous. However, some regrettable things happened at that concert. Some fans have passed away forever because of excessive excitement, sudden heart disease, lack of oxygen and other reasons.

The popular video of that concert is still circulating on the Internet in countries all over the world.

After these two years of development, Han Sen's popularity has risen to a higher level, and he belongs to the TOP5 level in the world, which makes many fans in the United States even more fascinated.

In addition, "Kung Fu" was also a hit in the American market, and countless European and American audiences were amused by the funny language in the movie, so more and more people began to follow Han Sen.

So when Han Sen and Tang Wu brought the movie "Steel Man" to New York for the premiere road show, the entire New York International Cinema was surrounded by countless whites and blacks just like it was in Xingda Cinema.

Of course, there are also about one-tenth of Asians mixed in.

Looking around, there are tens of thousands of people, filling the entire New York International Studios.

It is worth mentioning that, on the same day as "Steel", there was another American film "Sinking into the Stars", which is a super sci-fi blockbuster directed by the famous American director Marcus.

Like "Steel", "Star Sea Sinking" was also released on February 2, but the first batch of releases were only scheduled for the main seven countries in Europe and America, unlike "Steel", which was released simultaneously in more than 14 countries.

In terms of notification amount and cast, the two are not very comparable. The total global box office of "Steel" is expected to exceed 40 billion, while "Star Sea Sinking" is less than half, about [-] billion.

In fact, the box office estimate of "Sinking into the Star Sea" is at least 50 billion or more, but because it was released at the same time as "Steel", the relevant evaluation agencies lowered the box office estimate of "Sinking into the Star Sea".

Obviously, countless people are not optimistic that "Star Sea Sinking" can break the wrist with "Steel".

In fact, Marcus has been frowning recently. Looking around the world, there is no work that wants to be released at the same time as "Steel". After all, apart from the amazing investment in the work itself, the most fierce thing about "Steel" is the adaptation of the script itself. Based on the real story, it has a large number of audience fans in Europe, America and other countries.

Coupled with the addition of the famous Chinese director Xu Weizhou and the top international superstar Han Sen, the box office of "Steel" is absolutely impossible to be so low.

But Marcus had no choice, just because they officially announced the release date earlier than "Steel", and they also made an appointment for the premiere event at New York International Studios earlier.

After all, Marcus is also a well-known director in the United States, how could he back down at this time?
So I can only bite the bullet.

Therefore, on the day of the premiere of "Steel", the sci-fi blockbuster "Sinking into the Star Sea" also held its premiere at the same location at the same time, the difference is only the theater.

The tens of thousands of fans of "Steel" are the only thing about the international studios, and "The Star Sea Sinking" has never expected it. In comparison, the [-] fans and dozens of film critics they invited here It looks much shabby.

Fortunately, they are based in the United States and have a relatively wide network of contacts. They invited more than a dozen well-known movie stars from all over Europe and the United States to help out, so that the scene would not look too deserted to him.

In comparison, apart from him and Tang Wu, Han Sen only had He Tengfei, who had just won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Supporting Actor, go with him.

Ray Brokers also invited some well-known film critics from Europe and the United States to enter the venue, as well as 400 lucky viewers who won tickets on Weibo and the official website, plus some related accounts, so this time the premiere of "Steel" Li, just in New York, the number of people broke through to [-].

In the last half a month, Han Sen turned down invitations from some national theaters, and only agreed to participate in the premiere activities of the New York and China Capital.

At this time, the periphery of the New York International Studios was full of movie fans, and many people even put on support uniforms with Han Sen's face on them, and held related promotional posters of the movie.

This has to be attributed to the growth of the Han Sen fan support club. In addition to having a large number of fans in China, the support club has also cultivated countless fans in many foreign countries.

When they received the news, they rushed to support as soon as possible.

However, Han Sen and the others did not enter through the main entrance. For the sake of safety, they were guided by the organizer into the "Steel" screening hall through the side entrance.

At this time, the entire hall was pitch black and there was no sound.

The lucky audience and film critics have already arrived at the scene, because the movie needs to be screened first, and then other activities will be performed after the audience has watched the movie, so at this moment, the [-] audience in the hall, although they are very excited, are suppressed. The urge to communicate and speak, everyone is attentively waiting for the movie to start.

Han Sen and Tang Wu separated from the organizer's staff for a while. Wearing masks and peaked caps, they both bowed their backs and headed to the corner to watch the movie.

The reason why the two did this is to better examine their own film from the perspective of the audience.

The second is to avoid riots.

Soon, the approval logo of Huaxia Culture and Broadcasting Bureau appeared on the big screen, and then the subtitles of Enlight Pictures, Hansen Studio, and the names of the main creators also appeared one by one.

After a while, the feature film begins.

Compared with the tense and exciting atmosphere of Han Sen's "Kung Fu" at the beginning, the rhythm of "Steel Number" is obviously much boring and long.

From the first minute to the No. 1 minute, the plot can be said to be as flat as water.

Even though Han Sen and Tang Wu were playing and interacting in it, the handsome men and beautiful women were also very good-looking, but it still caused the audience to yawn again and again.

There was even a murmur in English at the scene.

"When will the ship sink?"

"What a boring plot..."

"Is the life of Chinese nobles like this a hundred years ago?"

"O sea, you are all water..."

"Is this a big production with an investment of [-] million RMB? Han Sen probably won't even be able to pay back this time!"

Almost everyone, including the film critics and the media at the scene, felt more or less disappointed when watching "The Man of Steel".

Coupled with knowing in advance the reason why the giant ship Steel will inevitably sink, this leads to a slight decrease in people's desire to watch.

Many viewers at the scene even came from various states in the United States. After a long journey, they were already exhausted. After watching "Steel Man" for a while, they were stunned by the slow pace of the plot sleep!
Some people have even fallen asleep with their eyes squinted in their seats.

The film critics didn't treat "The Man of Steel" specially because Han Sen starred in it. After watching it for half an hour, they all began to write comments on their handwritten manuscripts.

Even some well-known film critics sighed and shook their heads.

I think a super movie that costs such a large amount of money is nothing more than mediocre.

Everyone showed disappointed expressions, not to mention some well-known singers and actors who came to watch the movie specially.

Like Mitch Harvey.

After watching "Steel Number" for half an hour, I couldn't help sighing: "It's too straightforward, I still think highly of Han Sen. Fortunately, it will be released in theaters, and people will pay attention to Han Sen's fame." Come and pay for this movie, if it is an online movie - if a movie is not attractive in the first 10 minutes, with the patience of the current audience, the page may have been closed long ago!"

The friends who came next to me also kept shaking their heads:

"You are right, I am a loyal viewer of "Kung Fu", if it is "Kung Fu 2", I may continue to pay the bill, but this "Steel" is really... a bit boring, and there is no Chinese comedy element at all , Well, I know it's not a comedy, but this movie is definitely a bad movie in the cloak of a disaster movie, but the hero and heroine spend a lot of time talking about love in the movie, I'm really speechless."

"Although I know it's foreshadowing, it's too slow, and I don't feel that any foreshadowing hooks are exposed. I think at least they can take a picture of the cause of the steel crash in advance, such as the loose screw?"

"Han Sen is probably going to fall this time."

"That's it, it's predicted that the box office will be 70 billion in the Chinese film industry? Are Chinese audiences so easy to deceive?"

Everyone seems to be pessimistic about the future box office performance of "Steel", thinking that the media's previous publicity was a bit exaggerated.

At this time, the film entered an ambiguous stage.

When Han Sen held the paintbrush and began to sketch the naked body of Tang Wu.

Everyone was suddenly relieved.

Some people's eyes radiated a warm light.

……

Although a stand-in was used, and the camera was only shown above the chest, Tang Wu, who was hiding in the corner at the moment, had a red face and hot skin. She couldn't help but grabbed Han Sen's arm and said in a low voice: "This It's the plot you wrote, it's so weird!"

Han Sen also noticed Tang Wu's strangeness, and patted Tang Wu's hand with a smile: "Stand-in, stand-in, and nothing is revealed, don't be nervous."

"Story that arouses fantasy is not acceptable!" Tang Wu grabbed Han Sen's big hand with her backhand: "This is not an example."

"Well, it's not an example."

Han Sen smiled.

After more than half a year of getting along with Tang Wu, the relationship between him and Tang Wu is not overly intimate, but they are more familiar than ordinary friends, and they have more physical contact, so they gradually get used to each other.

Both of them are also talented and beautiful, and whether they want to pierce the last layer of paper depends on who takes the initiative first.

But whether it is Han Sen or Tang Wu, they both enjoy the current way of getting along with each other.

More than AUO, not enough lovers.

Although both of them have been famous for a long time, it is also the first time that they have starred in this kind of romance film, and both have presented their first on-screen kiss, and experienced the plot of the movie, which led to the return of the two to reality. The relationship is a little more subtle.

What's more, in the love variety show "We Are in Love", the two have been seen by audiences across the country from being a little stiff and unfamiliar with each other, to the final intimacy and naturalness.

Hence the relationship that has grown by leaps and bounds today.

Even after the filming of the movie and the program is over, the two still continue to enjoy the current way of getting along with each other in an inertial manner.

At least the picture of the two together, even if it is photographed by paparazzi, will not cause an uproar in the fan community, but all the audience who have watched "We Are in Love" will only hold full blessings.

"The audience's reaction was not very good..."

There was some confusion and anxiety in Tang Wu's bright eyes. She knew that Han Sen invested too much money in this movie. If the box office fails, although she said she would not be in debt, it would always affect Han Sen himself. some hits.

This is what she doesn't want to see, she likes this man who is confident in everything.

But Han Sen didn't seem to be worried at all, and he laughed heartlessly: "Those who don't like this movie, let's see how much they cry later."

Han Sen will never forget the shock of watching "Titanic" for the first time in his previous life. Even a rational person like him couldn't help but shed tears after watching the movie.

But now, when "Steel" was sent to the Bureau of Culture, Radio and Television for review, there was news that the auditors cried after watching it. Even the hard-hearted auditors of the Bureau of Culture and Radio, who had read countless films, said so, Han Sen has absolute confidence in this movie.

……

At this moment, on the big screen, after Li Wei sketched Deng Qingsi wearing the "Heart of the Ocean", the plot finally began to fully unfold to the audience.

As if the most advanced engine in history was added to the car, the following plot screen repelled everyone's drowsiness, and the people who watched were dumbfounded, and finally understood what a real super movie is...

……

under the night sky.

The Steel is sailing at the fastest speed on the dark water, the vast sea seems to be endless, dark and silent.

Even if he yelled at this moment, he didn't seem to get any response.

While rubbing his hands, the helmsman sighed to the captain: "I have never seen such a calm sea."

The captain smiled slightly: "Yes, it's like a pond - calm."

The helmsman paused, and said: "But, if the waves are too calm, it will be more difficult to find the iceberg..."

The captain held the orange tea in his hand, gently stirred the orange petals in the tea with a spoon, lost himself in thought, and said after a long time: "I'm going back first, Wufu, remember to keep moving forward at full speed."

"I see, Captain."

Helmsman Wu Fu looked at the back of the captain leaving and sighed.

He knew why the captain, who was about to retire, abandoned a lifetime of caution and chose to go full steam ahead on his last voyage.

This is an order from the shipowner.

However, it wasn't just the owner who wanted the steel to break the world record on its first voyage.

The captain also wants to draw a perfect end to his last career, and he is burdened with various expectations and desires. At least at this moment, the future of the Steel seems to be clearly visible...

The dialogue between the two immediately lifted the spirits of the audience who were already attracted to the scene.

They knew that a ferocious plot was coming.

Everything before was like the calm before the storm.

But the film critics did not expect at this moment that the deepest expectation in their hearts was quickly revealed through this dialogue between the chief mate and the captain.

This dialogue can be said to play a huge role in linking the past and the future, making all audiences as excited as if they had been pumped during the next viewing process.

When her fiancé Xie Keduo discovered Deng Qingsi's real-life sketch——

When Li Wei and Deng Qingsi held hands, abandoning all the strange visions of the world, they smiled at each other and walked through the corridors of the first-class cabin and the third-class cabin, and came to the giant wheel warehouse at the bottom, where they had an extremely intense social activity in a royal carriage when--

The entire auditorium was silent.

Everyone is looking forward to the most shocking picture.

The lens turns.

The first officer walked towards the side of the ship, and asked the helmsman in a serious tone: "Have you found the telescope for the lookout?"

"I haven't seen it since I set sail..."

The helmsman didn't care, he looked at the time and said, "It's time for me to go and check, see you later."

After the helmsman left, the first officer boarded the deck and looked at the sea.

He always felt that the sea was too calm at the moment, and the telescope could not be found, which made him feel even more uneasy.

The distance of the human eye looking at the sea surface cannot be compared with the telescope. If there is an iceberg, even if it is discovered immediately, the possibility of safely avoiding it is very small given the current giant ship moving at full speed.

However, it is rumored that there are no icebergs in this sea area.

This is one of the reasons why the chief mate was just worried and didn't try to dissuade the captain from slowing down.

What's more, almost everyone knows that the maiden voyage of the Steel is aimed at breaking the world record.

If it reaches its destination in the shortest time, the Iron and Steel will definitely go down in history and attract the attention of the whole world...

However, it wasn't long before the chief mate fell into thinking when a rapid bell sounded in his ears.

His heart sank, knowing that the lookout must have discovered something.

So he quickly looked into the distance, and the next moment, his pupils shrank violently, turned around and ran towards the cockpit at high speed, while running, he shouted hastily: "There is an iceberg ahead!"

"Right full rudder!"

"quick!"

"hurry up!"

The chief mate's wonderful acting skills made the audience in the entire screening hall tense up and held their breath, not daring to take a breath.

Accompanied by the tense background music, after receiving the message from the first officer, the driving system and fuel system of the entire Steel immediately entered a state of adjustment.

"Go back!"

"Hurry up, guys, hurry up!"

"Steam decompression! Quick!"

"Close the airlocks! Close them!"

"Quick start the reverse engine!"

At the same time, on the observation deck, two watchmen shouted anxiously: "Turn around!"

"Why don't you turn around?"

The first officer was desperate, and he frantically ran to the front of the deck. In the icy sea breeze, a huge iceberg appeared in his sight, and it was getting closer and closer. The lines on the iceberg were already clearly visible. .

There was a cold sweat on his back, and he roared frantically behind him: "Is the rudder full?"

"The rudder is full! It has been pushed to the end!!" The assistant behind said loudly.

The first mate's face was pale, staring at the huge iceberg that was getting closer and closer, and said frantically: "Quick, quick, quick, turn around! Damn it! Turn around!"

With the chief mate's prayers, the front mast of the giant ship finally started to turn.

However, although the bow of the ship turned, the bottom of the huge cruise ship buried on the seabed had no time to avoid it, and abruptly hit the bottom of the iceberg from the middle position.

Rumbling--

The huge vibration caused all the passengers and staff on the giant ship to stop their movements.

The lookout couldn't stand, and clung to the mast behind him.

The helmsman obviously felt the violent vibration of the rudder, and he couldn't even control the direction of the rudder.

The sleeping passengers in the third-class cabin woke up one after another.

The blueprints on the desk of the designer of the steel number fell off.

In the warehouse at the bottom, the deck quickly broke, and the seawater poured in frantically. The two patrolling crew members didn't even have time to scream out, and were instantly submerged in the rushing seawater.

On the top open-air deck, Li Wei and Deng Qingsi woke up from a deep kiss.

The two watched helplessly as the iceberg that was close at hand rubbed past the side of the ship, and countless iceberg debris fell down like a goddess, smashing to every corner of the ship.

Everything indicates the great danger that is about to happen next.

At this moment, the audience's hearts beat faster, and the sound of the heartbeat seemed to shake through the eardrums.

"Wonderful!! It's so wonderful!!"

"I was so excited that I peed!"

"That iceberg is so big! A human being is like an ant in front of it!"

"Although I feel a little disrespectful to the victims who passed away, I still want to say, sink the ship quickly!!"
