Chapter 825: The Wandering Earth Premiere

"Director Li, would you consider coming to the film festival to promote your business?"

June is the month of the Shanghai Film Festival, which is held in late June this year.

As soon as June began, Ren Zhonglun had already started to invite people.

Generally speaking, we will go there to promote the major works that are scheduled to be released this year when we have time.

“I personally won’t go, but The Wandering Earth will be shown at the Shanghai Film Festival.”

Li Mu thought about it and decided that it would not be a good idea to completely refuse. Instead, he could ask the crew producer to bring Wu Jing and others over to show up.

Anyway, Wu Jing had to go to the film festival because of "The Climbers", so she didn't have to go there specially.

"It works!"

Ren Zhonglun nodded. Anyway, the most popular movie was "The Wandering Earth", so it was good enough that he could come. Although it was a bit regrettable that Li Mu didn't come, it was not a big deal.

At this moment, Liu Yifei's laughter of "Goose, Goose, Goose" suddenly came from the house.

Li Mu looked over curiously and found that he was laughing so hard that tears were coming out.

"what is the matter?"

"Come and take a look at the picture Yanyan sent me just now. She said she was hit by bird poop." Liu Yifei waved to Li Mu.

Li Mu went over to take a look and it was actually nothing serious, just a hat with a pile of bird poop on it.

I can only say that I was lucky to hit this.

"Hey, why don't you smile?" Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu eagerly.

"There's nothing funny, why are you laughing?"

"It's so funny! Yanyan and I both died of laughter!"

"You guys have such a low sense of humor." Li Mu curled his lips and immediately opened his phone to check for information. Unexpectedly, the push notification was also a tweet posted by Tang Yan on the social platform titled "What does it feel like to be hit by bird poop?"

Luo Jin commented like a fool: Hahaha.
"You have a high sense of humor, which is very boring. Do you want to lower your sense of humor a little?" Liu Yifei poked Li Mu's arm.

"Can this thing be lowered?"

Liu Yifei immediately looked at Li Mu as if he were a fool, "You really believe it, hahahaha"

"Oh my, Liu Yifei, you'll be so annoying if you don't punish me for three days!"

"Baby, save mommy!" Liu Yifei immediately waved her hand, trying to call the little bun over.

But the little boy took a look and immediately lost interest, and continued to play the game of throwing and catching with Ala.

The news of Lin Chi-ling's marriage has added a bit of heat to the beginning of June, but it is only limited to the excitement among netizens, while the film and television industry remains normal. After all, her marriage partner has nothing to do with the domestic film and television industry.

"X-Men: Dark Phoenix" did not achieve overwhelming success after its release, with a box office of over 2 million on the first day, competing back and forth with "Chasing the Dragon " and "The Best of Us".

The time has come to mid-to-late June, the opening day of the Shanghai Film Festival.

As a 5A-level film festival, every opening ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival is very grand and attracts a lot of support from the industry.

Just recently, Wang Changtian revealed at the Shanghai Film Festival forum that he is collaborating with Zhang Yimou on a new film, "As Solid as a Rock", and claimed that this is a contemporary Chinese urban theme that Zhang Yimou has never tried before, which has sparked a lot of discussion inside and outside the industry.

On the other hand, Yu Dong was unwilling to be left out and announced in another forum that he had invested in Hesong Media, causing an uproar.

You should know that the chairman of Hesong Media is Li Xue, and the number one female star is Li Binbin, one of the "Four Dan and Two Bing".

This collaboration is somewhat intriguing, after all, the former employer Huayi is also at the Shanghai Film Festival.

However, compared with the glory of Guangguang and Bona, Huayi is much more desolate. Wang Zhonglei only promoted Huayi's films "Eight Hundred" and "The Great Wish" which were released in the summer season in July at the forum.

Although Li Mu from Mengying Media was unable to attend the event, the producer and Wu Jing appeared at the promotional forum for "The Wandering Earth", which attracted countless fans and created a major spectacle at the Shanghai Film Festival.

"Director Li, the movie is really popular. Others' promotional spots are not full, but our spots are not enough."

After the promotion was over, Wu Jing replied to Li Mu.

“Being so popular proves that there is pressure. If you fail to meet expectations, you will be criticized.” Li Mu said with a faint smile.

"Indeed!" Wu Jing nodded. Of course he knew this.

The higher the expectations, the higher the requirements, which is inevitable.

Just a few days after the Shanghai Film Festival began, "The Wandering Earth" also started pre-sales, and for a while the pre-sale results made the industry silent.

"The large-scale science fiction film "The Wandering Earth" directed by Li Mu had a pre-sale of over 4 million yuan on the first day, setting a new domestic pre-sale record."

"The first-day pre-sale of The Wandering Earth exceeded 4 million yuan, and the summer vacation season is expected to set off a sci-fi film craze again"

While everyone was still immersed in the incredible pre-sale performance of "The Wandering Earth" on the first day, "Shanghai Fortress" also caught the eyes of netizens.

"Teng Huatao and Lu Han create "Shanghai Fortress": Chinese science fiction needs more confidence!"

“Shanghai Fortress: A sci-fi masterpiece that took six years to create. This is the first time we have presented a direct confrontation with an alien civilization. It is also the first time that a future war takes place in China, in Shanghai. This is not only a richness for Chinese sci-fi themes, but also a brand new challenge.”

"."

At the same time, the popularity of Shanghai Fortress also skyrocketed. This made Liu Yifei very angry, and she punched the pillow on the sofa twice.

"It doesn't matter. Their excessive bundling is not necessarily a good thing. Some publicity is as bad as too little."

Li Mu smiled faintly and touched Liu Yifei's body.

"Shanghai Fortress" does have its own way of promoting itself. With this kind of promotion, you may say that Mengying Media is suppressing it, but maybe they will turn the tables and can't stand seeing domestic films do well and dominate the market.

Not suppressing them is exactly what they want. After all, the popularity is there, and it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.

However, if the quality of the movie is good, then it can indeed reap the sci-fi dividends brought by "The Wandering Earth", but if the quality of the movie is poor, the backlash will be extremely serious.

After all, where there is comparison, there is gap.

"Then you have to show them what science fiction is."

"Don't worry, I'll let them see what's going on." Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei's childishness and couldn't help but find it funny, but his heart was also slightly warmed.

After "The Wandering Earth" broke 4 million on the first day, the pre-sale performance did not stop there. After only three days, it broke the 4 million pre-sale record of "Avengers 6" and became the new pre-sale box office champion in China.

There are still four days left until the release.

June 6th is the day of the premiere of "The Wandering Earth".

However, on June 6, which was a very ordinary day in the eyes of many people, many touching "big" things happened in the entertainment industry, and one melon after another appeared on Weibo.

In the words of netizens, it means: weddings, funerals, all the important events in life worth doing are put together.

Liu Yifei was a little stunned.

First of all, in the morning, Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo officially announced their divorce mediation. Both of them are top stars in South Korea, and they have gained great popularity and attention in the country thanks to the drama "Descendants of the Sun".

It was because of this drama that the two of them got married. Many people's first impression of them was "like a fairy tale". So, when they heard that the couple, who had been married for less than two years, divorced, everyone naturally discussed it hotly.

Not long after, news of Wang Baoqiang's mother's death spread on the Internet. Before everyone had finished feeling sad and regretful for Wang Baoqiang, in the afternoon, Li Chen and Fan Binbin, the highly-watched couple, officially announced their breakup. This was like "adding fuel to the fire", and Weibo exploded for a while.

Although their official statement was much more peaceful than Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo’s divorce, it still couldn’t stop netizens from watching.

In addition to some people expressing dissatisfaction with Li Chen for giving up Fan Binbin and accusing him of being an irresponsible person.

Many people also questioned whether the two officially announced their breakup at this moment, suspecting that they were trying to gain popularity and create hype.

Of course, there were also happy events. Instead, the least eye-catching thing was Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin's marriage. It should have been their home turf, but the attention was robbed by repeated "unexpected misfortunes".

For a time, the premiere of "The Wandering Earth" was ranked behind these hot topics.

"They all came here in a hurry."

Shu Chang couldn't help but feel a little confused. She also went to the premiere today and happened to go with Liu Yifei.

"Who cares? It won't affect the premiere anyway."

Liu Yifei looked at herself in the mirror and after feeling that there was nothing wrong, she happily took Shu Chang's arm and prepared to go to the premiere of "The Wandering Earth".

On the 27th, around pm.

At the red carpet ceremony for "The Wandering Earth", the cheers of movie fans seemed to overturn the entire imperial capital, with one wave higher than the other, creating an unprecedented grand occasion.

The media were crowded on both sides of the red carpet with their cameras and took pictures non-stop.

"Oh my god, what a scene." When Shu Chang and Liu Yifei arrived, they couldn't help but be shocked by the scene.

"Let's go. We won't walk the red carpet." Liu Yifei took Shu Chang and did not walk the red carpet. Instead, they entered the cinema through the side door.

At this time, Li Mu and the main creators were receiving many guests. In his spare time, Li Mu also greeted Wu Mengda.

"Uncle Da, are you okay?"

"It's the same old thing. What can happen? Don't worry. You can still live a few more years." Wu Mengda was obviously very optimistic and didn't care too much.

"Being able to work with Director Li on this film is the most fortunate thing in my life. I am very satisfied."

"No, Uncle Da is a great actor. Who knows, maybe we will have new opportunities to work together."

"That's great. If you need anything, just call me, an old man. I'll come if I can help."

"."

Ning Hao and Ge You also came to show their support, after all, it was being filmed in the imperial capital.

"This premiere, wow, it reminds me of those blockbuster movies in the millennium." Ning Hao couldn't help but take a few more glances. This grand scene was really enviable.

You have to know that the premieres these years are not as good as those in the millennium, but the premiere of "The Wandering Earth" is no worse than that year.

"Go in quickly and make yourself at ease. I won't entertain you." Li Mu wanted to drive Ning Hao away with a look of disgust.

“Is this how you treat your guests?”

Ning Hao muttered something, but he went inside with Ge You obediently.
