The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 182 "Source Code" Premiere

Li Weiming and his companions found his seat in the dark. When he sank into the soft seat, he sighed comfortably, and then smiled and reminded his companions: "Why didn't you go to the bathroom just now, Chen Jingxing's There is no pee point in movies, don’t hold back for a while and cause problems.”

Li Weiming, as the owner of Chen Jingxing's post bar, unexpectedly got the premiere tickets issued by DreamWorks, a total of more than [-] tickets.

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Li Weiming sent out a lottery in the bar, and selected more than [-] fans of Chen Jingxing to watch the premiere together.After all, since the ticket was posted for Chen Jingxing, it would be shameful for him to bring his relatives and friends along.

In fact, Chen Jingxing himself has been diving in the Chen Jingxing Post Bar for a long time. After all, which celebrity in the world can resist the temptation to search for his name on the Internet? Of course, he can't avoid searching for his name and works on the Internet or in forums. See what netizens are How to evaluate him, to be precise, how to blow rainbow farts, so when the premiere tickets were issued, I also explained that I should contact the post bar owner to give some tickets.

Among the fans who watched the premiere with Li Weiming, there were two people from other provinces who flew to Beijing to watch the premiere.

You have to know that the premiere is on Friday night, and you have to fly to another city thousands of miles away on weekdays just to watch the premiere. This kind of outrageous thing usually only happens to die-hard fans of American manga, or top-tier fans. Even Li Weiming was stunned by the diehard fans.

The friend who sat next to him and was ridiculed by him "don't hold back the problem" is from Hangzhou. The second time he asked for leave and flew thousands of kilometers to watch the premiere. His name was Xiao Pengyu.

"I'm not the same as you. I don't have frequent urination." Xiao Pengyu joked with a smile: "Besides, I checked the movie before and it was only 100 minutes long, which is too short, even less than "Signal." There was strong regret in his tone. And unfortunately, in his opinion, it takes at least 120 minutes to be enjoyable.

Another bar friend suddenly said: "The suits and leather shoes that the group of people sitting in front of me are not celebrities, and the seat is quite good."

Someone asked, "That should be a film critic, right? Didn't you say that film critics are always invited for the premiere of a movie?"

"Being a film critic is quite comfortable. I can watch the premiere of a movie for free by writing some articles touting the lack of nutrition. I can write those articles." Apparently, this fan of Chen Jingxing has a bad impression of film critics.

But they still admitted their mistake. The two or three rows in front of them were not film critics, but media reporters.

"I heard that there will be a press conference after the movie is over?" Sina reporter Chu Jiang chatted with several colleagues in a low voice before the movie started.

"After all, it is Chen Jingxing's movie. The commercial value of his movie is also one of the best among the new and old directors in Huaguo. DreamWorks has made so many big moves in the past six months, and it must be eager to get blood from "Source Code." Xin Jing said the newspaper reporter.

Another reporter asked aloud: "Do you think he has real confidence or fake confidence? It seems that he really didn't pay attention to the 19 billion box office record?" Apparently he was referring to Chen Jingxing's face to reporters at the premiere The "outrageous" answer to the question.

"19 billion is not 19." Chu Jiang shook his head: "Young people are naturally full of energy. Chen Jingxing has never encountered a wall since his debut, so he must be unconvinced and get carried away."

In his opinion, Chen Jingxing's answer is very inappropriate. Even if Sina.com doesn't report it tomorrow - of course this is impossible - other media will inevitably make a big fuss. Maybe his colleagues are already planning a manuscript .

Huaguo advocates humility, and the appropriate answer is naturally to congratulate "Young Avengers" and admit that he is not enough. At the same time, he will say that as a filmmaker in Huaguo, he will work tirelessly, learn from others, and strive to catch up with the world's first-class film production level. .

If the attitude is not humble, it will cause controversy and be more likely to be used as an article. Of course, as a media reporter, he naturally hopes that every interviewee can give a controversial answer.

But even from the perspective of a media reporter, he felt that Chen Jingxing's answer was too outrageous, with a strong sense of ridicule and provocation.

19 billion not bad?Sour and unconvinced.

Not to mention the record that can be kept for one year, 19 billion. Although Chen Jingxing's answer was flat and sincere, the intention of ridicule and provocation was overwhelming. He was too immature and too frivolous. , giving people a feeling that Chinese filmmakers can't afford to lose. Feng Xiaogang, who often shoots cannons, would not say such words.

If Chen Jingxing knew how these reporters interpreted his words, he might call June Feixue.

You ask him what he thinks about "Young Avengers" possibly getting a box office of 19 billion, breaking the record of Huaguo film and television?
"Not bad" was his most sincere answer, otherwise what would he say?

"The box office record of 19 billion is so high, it's unimaginable." Doesn't this make him blatantly lie?

As for when this record will be broken, and when Huaguo Films will be able to break this record, Chen Jingxing swore that he was really serious in his answer, and he chose a figure that he thought was very conservative, in case the reporters would think too much. Wait until next year, that is, in 16, why should a movie worth more than two billion yuan be born?Even without Gravity.

"Do you think he meant "Source Code" by 'within a year'? He thinks that "Source Code" can break the box office record of "Young Avengers"?"

Chu Jiang burst out laughing: "How is that possible? Don't even look at what schedule it is? I guess he is referring to "Gravity". After all, it is a billion investment, and it will be seven or eight billion with a slight discount. Such a large investment, if there is not more than one billion box office in China, it can do it? Coupled with the investment of China Film Group, if a popular schedule is selected by then, 15 billion is not impossible."

The Beijing News reporter on the side also said in a less optimistic tone: "I don't think it's difficult. "Youth Avengers" is a comic book movie. How many die-hard fans are there? "Gravity" is not an IP, and the special effects are even more so." Hard to say.

It's not that there are no film projects in China that claim to invite Hollywood special effects studios, so what?Special effects are not as mature as Hollywood's film industry system, and you can't even draw a gourd. Chen Jingxing's strength is still creativity, and he can tell stories. "

While the reporters were chatting, the hall was gradually filled with guests, the lights went dark, and with the sound of the projector running, the IMAX-specific pre-screening show began to play on the screen——"Source Code" It is not a 3D movie, but the IMAX screening format is also produced, but in China, audiences usually see IMAX 3D movies, and 2D movies shown in IMAX theaters are relatively rare.
