Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 698 Opening

For summer movies released in early July, Metropolis will start promoting them around mid-June.

Because the college entrance examination is over at this time, a large number of students are on vacation. Propaganda in advance can attract these people to enter the cinema when July comes.

Although "The Invisible Guest" has a super lineup, suspense is not a popular Chinese genre after all, so it still needs to spend more time on pre-release publicity.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, "The Invisible Guest" bought a hot search - "The Invisible Guest" was snapped up in Cannes.

""The Invisible Guest" will be released in the summer season on July 7. As the opening film of this year's summer season, the industry is very optimistic about the film. We recently learned from the production company that "The Invisible Guest" will be traded at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The market has been well received, and international film producers are very fond of such suspense themes. In just one week, the copyright of "The Invisible Guest" has been sold for tens of millions of dollars."

Although I bought it, I really didn’t brag about it.

In fact, the copyright of "The Invisible Guest" has been sold for nearly 2000 million US dollars. Many film producers are waiting for the movie to be released to see how well it performs before deciding whether to buy the remake rights.

There are many fans of Zhang Yuanjun and Gong Li under this hot search.

"If you tell me this movie is starring Gong Li and Zhang Yuanjun, I will buy it too."

"I'm not anyone's fan, but when I see the names of Gong Li and Zhang Yuanjun, I want to buy a ticket to see it."

Fortunately, celebrities don't do this when they walk on the red carpet.

Not only wasting time like this, it also made the guests and viewers watching the live broadcast feel bad.

"Suspense is okay, as long as it's not thriller and horror, I'll watch it."

The organizers also knew that they would throw out two super star casts at the beginning of the red carpet to attract the audience.

"The first collaboration between two teachers. Premiere tickets have been reserved. It is the most anticipated movie of the summer." This may be a robot.

For example, the film festival will have an English translator at the award ceremony. After the Chinese host speaks a paragraph, the English translator will translate it on the spot.

"Ten million US dollars should be a conservative figure. Zhang Yuanjun's name alone can fetch this amount overseas. Coupled with Gong Li, it is normal for international film companies to rob her."

On the afternoon of the 11th, the Shanghai Film Festival opened as scheduled.

The crew of "The Invisible Guest" sent a five-person combination of Xin Yukun, Zhang Yuanjun, Gong Li, Ni Ni and Li Jianyi.

One thing Zhang Yuanjun doesn't like about the film festival is that in order to highlight the international style, the officials will make some aspects bloated.

The two leading actors are very popular with the public, and many ordinary viewers have also left messages saying that they are looking forward to this movie.

The first one to walk on the red carpet today was the crew of "Legend of the Gods", and the second one was the crew of "Legend of the Legend".

This year is also the case. On the opening red carpet, the Chinese host read a sentence and the English host translated it.

The most important promotional platform for "The Invisible Guest" is of course this year's Shanghai Film Festival.

Regardless of whether the show is good or not, the stars of these two crews are indeed big.

Fan Bingbing stole the show on the red carpet today. She walked through "Apotheosis of the Gods", the crew of "Legend of Legend" came up, and she also joined the group photo, and later she walked again with the crew of Jackie Chan's "Escape".

Earn enough media shots. The crew of "The Invisible Guest" appeared in the middle and back position.

"The next person to appear is our Golden Goblet Award competition film, the crew of "The Invisible Guest". The film is directed by young director Xin Yukun and stars Gong Li, Zhang Yuanjun, Ni Ni, Li Jianyi and others. Welcome everyone."

Xin Yukun walked half a step ahead alone, Ni Ni held Zhang Yuanjun's arm, Gong Li held Li Jianyi's arm, and the five of them slowly walked onto the red carpet together.

As the five people walked, they listened to the host introducing the crew:
""The Invisible Guest" is a brain-burning suspense film that will be officially released in the summer season on the 1st of next month. Director Xin Yukun, his debut film "Heart Labyrinth" has won many awards at home and abroad and is very popular with audiences. Good reviews. The male and female protagonists Zhang Yuanjun and Gong Li are both well-known outstanding actors. They have won many domestic and foreign international awards and starred in many popular and excellent movies.”

"Welcome to the crew of "The Invisible Guest"." The host asked the five people over.

The first question was naturally given to director Xin Yukun: "As a new director, are you particularly nervous when you first start working with so many of our outstanding actors?"

Xin Yukun did not deny it: "It was a lot of pressure, but our producer, Mr. Cao Baoping, and the actors were very easy to get along with and the scenes were good, so it was not that difficult to actually shoot."

Four actors came, and the red carpet time was limited. It was impossible to interview everyone, so the host asked the four actors to introduce their roles in one sentence.

Gong Li said: "Hello friends from the Shanghai Film Festival. I play a brave, strong and wise mother in "The Invisible Guest"."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Yuanjun. I play Liu Ming in "The Invisible Guest", a domineering president."

"Oh!" the female host exclaimed. Zhang Yuanjun has never played the role of a boss before, "Then I am really looking forward to Yuanjun playing the role of a boss."

Ni Ni said: "Hello everyone. Han Yin, who I play, is a scheming woman with a bit of evil." Such words are very appetizing to the audience.

Li Jianyi said: "Hello everyone. The character I play in the movie is named Zhang Maocai. He is an equally brave, strong and intelligent auto mechanic."

The host was very considerate and connected four sentences together: "A mother, a domineering president, a scheming woman, and an auto mechanic. What kind of story connects these four completely different people?" Well, let’s wait and see.”

"Okay, thank you to the crew of "The Invisible Guest". Please go to the media area to take a group photo."

There are five people in the crew of "The Invisible Guest". Ni Ni may be the only one who needs to take more photos and gain more personal exposure and traffic. The other four are not willing to stay on the red carpet for a long time, but everyone is still very competent in the media. District took photos before leaving.

The best thing at the opening ceremony, Zhang Yuanjun thought, was the Shakespearean monologue performance by British actor Ian McKellen and Chinese actor Jiao Huang.

This year coincides with the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, so a performance like this is very meaningful.

Ian McKellen won applause from the audience when he appeared on stage wearing a red scarf.

Ian McKellen is 77 years old and has turned 80.

However, the appearance and lines of the two old gentlemen on stage were not old-fashioned at all and were still stable.

"Chill 2" was highlighted at the opening ceremony as the opening film of the film festival.

Afterwards, the three hosts gave closing remarks to the opening ceremony, and the film festival officially began.

However, Zhang Yuanjun flew back to the capital after the opening ceremony. He will return to the Magic City for the press conference of "The Invisible Guest".
