China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 160 Premiere at the Center of the Earth, Recorded in History

Just when the publicity and distribution work of "Gravity" started one after another, "The Founding of a Nation" was officially released nationwide.

Li Mu played the role of Kong Lingkan in the movie, and had a rivalry with Jiang Jingguo played by Chen Kun.Jiang Jingguo's anti-corruption is one of the highlights of the whole movie, and the rivalry between Li Mu and Chen Kun is naturally one of the highlights of the whole movie. After the movie was released, it left a deep impression on the audience.

Some viewers even posted posts to tease Li Mu, saying that he should just make a movie and become a professional actor!He also said that watching Li Mu act is at least natural and not embarrassing. Li Mu is a natural actor, but immediately met with fierce opposition from most netizens.

If Li Mu becomes a director instead of filming, then how can there be any director in Huaxia who can make a movie of the level of "Inception"?There are plenty of better actors in Huaxia than Li Mu, but there is only one director in Huaxia who can make blockbuster sci-fi movies, Li Mu!
The movie "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" actually has many shortcomings, but there are also some bright spots. For example, the scene of Zhang Guoli in the vice presidential election has been talked about by many netizens.

There are also Feng Yuxiang played by Chen Kaige and Du Yuesheng played by Feng Xiaogang. These two roles have left a deep impression on the audience, and the funniest of them are the roles played by Wang Baoqiang and Ge You.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, there is a landlord compound in front, the wall is so high that you can't climb it, and even the grenades can't be blown up. Please ask for artillery support."

"Flare!"

It turned out that it was the city gate of Peking!

There is often a burst of laughter in the theater when the movie is played here.

In the end, "The Founding of a Country" had a box office of 1500 million, broke through 36 million in 5000 hours of release, over 1.4 million in three days of release, and [-] million in the first week. Except for Li Mu's unique movies, "The Founding of a Country" It can be said to completely crush all other domestic films.

One month before the official global release of "Gravity", the 27th China Film Golden Rooster Awards was held in Changnan City, Xijiang Province. This time Li Mu's "Inception" and Liu Yifei, one of the leading actresses, became the Golden Rooster Awards One of the biggest winners of the award.

The movie "Inception" won the best feature film award together with "Assembly" and "Mei Lanfang".Liu Yifei also successfully won the first acting award in her acting career - Best Actress, also known as the Golden Rooster Queen.

Jiang Wenli ("Li Chun") and Zhou Xun ("Li Mi's Conjecture") were also awarded this year's Golden Rooster Award. The 27th Golden Rooster Award has a rare three-yolk egg, and the result is naturally also on the Internet. It caused quite a bit of controversy.

A week later.

Liu Yifei went to the press conference of a certain jewelry brand, and Li Mu took the time to create those classic works from his previous life after breakfast. Because he didn't know when the original time and space authors started to create, so Li Mu had to try his best to Copy out all the works you want to copy as soon as possible, otherwise there is a certain risk of overturning.

And when he was working hard on the draft of "Zootopia", he received a call from Uncle Cheng Long:

"Li Mu, when is the premiere of your new movie?"

"Domestic is on November 11th, and the venue is at the Olympic Sports Center. North America is on November 5th. The North American market is expected to contribute the most box office to the film, so the North American premiere must also be held."

"November 11th, the Olympic Sports Center, okay, I'll remember, I'll definitely be there then."

"That's a good relationship. Uncle Long's arrival is the greatest support for me."

In the next few days, Li Mu also received a series of calls from Li Lianhua, Li Lianhua, Feng Xiaogang, Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming, Hong Jinbao, etc. Except for a few people who could not come but would send blessings in time, most of the rest Most people said that they must cheer for the movie on the spot that day.

……

11 month 13 day.

Magic City.

A cinema parking lot.

A total of six men alighted from the two cars, all under the age of [-]. Excitement was written on each of their faces at this moment.

"Back then we skipped class together and went to the video hall to watch American blockbusters and "Independence Day".

"Isn't it? I can still vividly recall the events of that year. It was the first time I watched an American blockbuster. Although it was in a video studio and the conditions were very simple, the shock and excitement in my heart at that time, Even watching the IMAX giant screen now, I don’t have the same feeling as I did back then.”

""Independence Day", "Godzilla", "The Day After Tomorrow"—director Roland Emmerich deserves to be a 'master of Hollywood disaster films'. I hope this "2012 Doomsday" will not disappoint."

These six people - Fatty, Tall, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Zhou, have been classmates from junior high school to high school, and worked in the same city after graduating from university, so the relationship between the six buddies is maintained. very good.

When they were in school, skipping class together to go to the video hall to watch American blockbusters was a common memory of the six of them, so after knowing that today was the release of a new film by their favorite film director, the six of them decided to watch a movie together after a phone call.

After getting out of the car, the six people chatted and walked towards the gate of the theater. Since today is the day when two blockbuster films - "2012" and "Gravity" will be released worldwide at the same time, the topic of the six people will inevitably mention Li Mu's Gravity.

"In fact, Li Mu's movies are not bad, whether it's "Assassin", "Super Body", or "Doomsday Collapse", which was still broadcast two months ago, almost all of them have reached the level of excellent Hollywood movies, but I always feel that now The boasting of Li Mu on the domestic Internet is a bit too much."

"It is indeed a bit too much, but it is completely understandable. A director of Li Mu's level may not be very conspicuous in Hollywood, but in China, to be honest, it is simply a blow to dimensionality reduction. It is not easy for China to produce such an international director. Director, you must hold it when you usually report."

"Actually, I want to say that Li Mu's best movie is actually "Doomsday Collapse", that kind of big scene, and the picture of two old people embracing each other in the face of the tsunami, the distorted Golden Gate Bridge, the collapse of the Hoover Dam, The earth-shattering earthquake, the viewing experience is absolutely super cool, on the contrary, "Inception" is more or less mysterious."

""Doomsday Collapse" is indeed very exciting, the pinnacle of disaster films, I even think "2012" may not be able to produce the effect of "Doomsday Collapse"."

"I think it's entirely possible. Li Mu is really strong, but I'm still not too optimistic about today's "Gravity". From the introduction, it seems that there are only two actors in the whole film, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou? And Zhang Yimou is still a supporting role? Gong Can Li alone support a movie with an investment of 1 million US dollars? I always feel that this movie is a bit overblown."

"It is said to be immersive, but if you think about it carefully, you know that it is completely impossible. How can it be possible to really achieve the immersive effect when people are so far away from the screen?"

"I searched the main plot of "Gravity" on the Internet. This is a film adaptation of a novel. The plot has long been picked up by netizens. It is the story of a female astronaut played by Gong Li struggling to survive in space. The plot is true. It’s very simple, and it’s even true that there’s no plot, and I always feel that Li Mu will fall this time.”

During the conversation, the six people had already taken the elevator to the ticket hall on the fourth floor, but the six people were immediately startled by the sight in front of them.

It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and there was already a long queue tens of meters long in front of the ticket office. At the end of the line, there was really not enough space, and the crowd even turned a big corner like greedy snakes.

The six people swept their eyes and immediately found that there was a much shorter line next to the two long dragons, so the six people naturally lined up in the short line.

After waiting in line, I found out that the two long lines only sold tickets for "Gravity" today, while the short line with a few people sold everything except "Gravity" ticket.

The six of them were quite lucky, and they said in their hearts that it was fortunate that what the group of people wanted to watch today was "2012", otherwise there would be such a long queue and they would not know how long it would last!
Because the line here was relatively short, the six people bought their tickets quickly. After waiting for about half an hour, the staff finally called the audience to check the tickets and enter the venue.

Then, the six people had a new understanding of the word "shock".

In the two-and-a-half-hour movie, special effects scenes such as super earthquakes and Yellowstone volcanic eruptions filled the screen, especially the lunatic in Yellowstone Park, which left a deep impression on all audiences.

The protagonist's life is hanging by a thread, and the plot of narrowly escaping disaster every time at the last moment makes the whole theater resound with exclamations from fans from time to time.

The escaping plane flew away from the collapsed continent at the last moment, and the US aircraft carrier smashed into the White House. The extremely shocking scenes in the movie beat the nerves of all audiences at all times.

How would you describe the movie "2012 The End of the World"?
Shock, shock, or TM shock!
Before watching it, the six people thought that "2012 The End of the World" could hardly surpass "The End of the World Collapse" directed by Li Mu, but who would have thought that "2012 The End of the World" turned out to be the ultimate upgraded version of "The End of the World Collapse"?

"Doomsday Collapse" destroyed one or two super cities, but "2012" destroyed the entire earth!

"Fuck, why do I feel better than "Collapse of Doom"?"

"Damn it, my bladder is about to explode, but even if I suffocate, I will definitely not go to the bathroom. If I miss some super shocking scene, I will be at a loss!"

"I dare say that if we only comment on the shocking degree of the movie, "Inception", which has become a masterpiece in China, will be delayed a little later, and "2012" is what a top Hollywood disaster blockbuster should look like!"

""Inception" wins with its plot. In terms of big scenes alone, "Inception" can't catch up with "2012"!"

"Before the movie was released, "Gravity" was very popular. Li Mu's reputation in China far surpassed the director of "2012", but I dare say that in a few days, the entire Internet will blow up the super shocking topic of "2012". Just talk about the big scenes If not, there is nothing in the world that can compare to this "2012 Doomsday"!"

The movie screening was over, the six people came out of the theater, and almost every audience around the six people was blowing up the "2012" they had just watched with extremely excited tones.

"I'll look it up on the Internet later, I guess there should already be an article on the Internet that blows up "2012"."

"Sure, I feel that there are so many big scenes in this movie that they explode, and the shocking scenes are endless. This kind of movie simply ignores cultural differences. No matter what country the audience is from or what cultural background they have, seeing the scene of the Yellowstone volcano erupting Probably not shocking!"

"There are too many viewers queuing up to buy "Gravity", which means that Li Mu's films are still dominant in the early days, but how do I feel now that "2012" will come from behind?"

"To be honest, I can't imagine what kind of super shocking scene an astronaut can take after escaping from outer space and returning to the earth. Maybe it would be amazing to be able to really be there, but I feel that it is impossible to do it with the current technology. That is A technology that only exists in Qidian novels."

"I can't wait to see how the entire Internet blows up "2012 The End of the World"!"

"I want to do it again when I have time, that lunatic in Yellowstone Park is so awesome!"

"He really exploded in the end! But he is really handsome!"

The six people walked out while chatting, and when they passed the ticket office again, they found that there were more people buying tickets now than before the movie opened, and the whole hall was crowded with ticket buyers.

At this time, Xiao Ding suddenly winked at the other five people, and the five followed Xiao Ding's gaze, and then heard Xiao Ding whisper:
"Look at the man in sixth place, why do I feel he looks so familiar?"

The fat man replied: "Of course it looks familiar. When we lined up to buy tickets in the morning, this person was also queuing up to buy tickets."

"At that time, he seemed to be buying tickets for "Gravity", right? So what's the situation now? He just finished watching it and immediately queued up again? Why didn't he buy more tickets at a time?"

Xiao Zhou came suddenly: "He's not alone, look at the tenth person in the row, the man in jeans, and the third man behind the jeans, it seems that these people have bought tickets twice. .”

"what's going on?"

Just when the six people were all surprised, they heard someone in the line over there make a phone call.

"I've just finished watching the movie. If I use two words to describe it, it's 'shocking'. How shocking is it? Let's just put it this way. After the movie ended, the audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically. I'm currently queuing up to buy tickets for tomorrow. Let's watch together tomorrow!"

"So what if you've seen it? I told you that this movie is definitely worth a second, third, or even fourth viewing!"

"Of course there are applause at the end of other movies, and there are many such cases, but these are almost invariably at the premiere, that is the audience's face to the film's creators, when did you see all the film's creators, etc. One person was present, I didn’t hear that there were no activities at the scene, the audience was just an ordinary audience, and after the movie ended, all the audience spontaneously stood up and applauded fiercely?”

"It's not that you can't think of it, there really is no such movie, or, there has never been such a movie before. "Gravity" is the only movie that has achieved this. Obviously, this must be a movie that can shock the whole country. Movie!"

"Compared to "Inception"? In terms of plot, it is definitely not as good as "Inception", but when it comes to the great contribution to the world's film industry, "Gravity" is definitely far better than "Inception"! "

Listening to the audience who bought tickets for the second time, Xiaoding and the other six people all looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone thought it was unbelievable. Could it be that "Gravity" is really as good as that person bragged on the phone just now?

impossible?

Isn't it just a movie? After watching the movie, all the audience spontaneously stood up and applauded fiercely?
This is absolutely impossible!

At this moment, someone in the crowd called again.

"I recommend you to buy tickets to watch "Gravity". I just finished watching it, and now I am queuing up to buy tickets for the second time. To sum it up in one sentence - this is a movie that is enough to be recorded in history..."

"It's not recorded in China's film history, but in the world's film history!"

All six of them stood where they were, and no one was in a hurry to go out and find a place to drink.

At this time, the buddy who called to say that "Gravity" was going to be recorded in the annals of history had hung up the phone, and the buddy behind him chatted up with that person enthusiastically.

"Brother, what you just said is so right. "Gravity" will definitely go down in the annals of history. It is the first real 3D movie in history. People who haven't seen it with their own eyes can't imagine the kind of feeling that they are in the movie theater. I was already in a huge shock in space, and the satellite debris came over, and many viewers subconsciously stretched out their hands to block it, it was so awesome!"

"Are you also preparing for the second brush?"

"I'm going to buy four tickets for tomorrow and bring my family to see it together."

Then at this time someone from the back of the team called again.

"Director Li Mu is amazing again this time! I strongly recommend you to watch "Gravity", this movie is definitely the most worthwhile movie - you can imagine the shock as if you are really in space ?"

I just finished watching "The End of the World 2012", and just now I felt that "The End of the World 2012" was about to be blown up all over the Internet. Now, listening to the voices blowing up "Gravity" one after another, I heard so many people strongly recommend "The End of the World" The phone call of "Gravity", although the six people still couldn't believe that "Gravity" was blown so loudly by the audience, but the strong curiosity in their hearts was completely stimulated.

So the six of them lined up at the end of the team very tacitly.

"Entered in history, immersive, super shocking?!"

"Really that strong?"

"I can't believe it!"

　Thanks to "boring middle-aged man" for the reward.Ah, I just said yesterday that I would work hard, but I withered on the first day. Today, my mind is chaotic, and I will try my best in the future.
