Chapter 826 Is this embarrassing?

The premiere of "The Wandering Earth" was naturally star-studded, attracting the attention of national media, and would also be reported and spread across the country.

As the celebrity guests entered the venue one by one, there were bursts of screams, shouts and cheers.

These fans have long known that Li Mu’s premiere is a great opportunity to meet their favorite star because most people will come.

Although I don’t have a ticket to the premiere, it doesn’t stop me from coming and participating.

"Director Li, there are so many people at this premiere." When Chen Yu and Zhang Yimou walked together, Chen Yu couldn't help but be shocked by the number of people in front of him.

Zhang Yi smiled and said nothing.

Li Mu also noticed Zhang Yi and Chen Yu coming over and hurried forward.

He thought Zhang Yimou would not come. After all, Zhang Yimou's "Rock Solid" had already entered the filming preparation stage.

"Brother!"

"We just happened to have a fight today about the script, and your senior brother Chen Yu suggested that we come to your place and maybe get some inspiration," Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Generally, directors and screenwriters will "argue". Of course, this kind of argument is not a real quarrel, but a debate about the plot.

However, in China, only the best screenwriters are qualified to argue with the director, let alone Zhang Yimou, but Chen Yu happens to be the one who can refute him.

The two of them are a suitable pair.

"That's great, please come in."

Not long after Zhang Yi arrived, Jiang Wen also came with Zhou Yun.

As one of the least productive directors in the industry, Jiang Wen is now relaxed and has no work to do. Even the most casual person can see his leisurely look.

"You really don't want to find something to do?"

Li Mu couldn't help but mutter that Jiang Wen seemed to have never done any serious work since he finished the Republic of China trilogy.

"What are you looking for? Wouldn't it be better to live a good life?" Jiang Wen said with disdain, "Movies win by quantity, not quality."

"Sister Zhou Yun, Lao Jiang is so boastful at home. I don't think his quality is that high."

Li Mu was too lazy to attack Jiang Wen directly, and instead asked about Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh secretly, then she gave Jiang Wen face outside and shook her head.

"You are really disrespectful to me. Go back quickly and I will find a seat myself." Jiang Wen directly "drove" Li Mu out.

Many people around also heard the two directors' banter and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

When Li Mu turned around, he saw Guo Fan, Wu Jing and others welcoming Liu Cixin.

As the author of the novel "The Wandering Earth", Liu Cixin was naturally on the invitation list for the premiere.

"Teacher Liu, welcome, welcome!" Li Mu hurried forward to shake hands and welcome him.

"Hahaha, you guys are busy, you guys are busy, I'll just do what I want." Liu Cixin declined the moves of several people who wanted to send him into the theater.

"Then Mr. Liu, let's go on stage together later."

"Okay, I'll follow Director Li's arrangements."

"."

The two-hour long red carpet finally ended, and the audience attending the premiere were checking their tickets and entering the venue one after another. Most of them were just there to chase stars or watch the fun.

There are no fancy decorations in the theater, only an extra-large poster standing in the center of the stage.

Li Mu led the main creators onto the stage, and at a glance, the seats below were full.

"Everyone is welcome to attend the premiere of the science fiction film "The Wandering Earth". Most people who have attended my premieres know that there is usually no host at my film premieres. I am the host myself."

"Hahaha!" As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, laughter broke out from below.

However, Li Mu didn't know that many guests in the audience couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads.

The arrangements for various aspects of the premiere are all made by the producers and distributors. Most people are not qualified to refuse, let alone the actors. Many directors have to follow the arrangements.

But obviously Li Mu is not among them, it is already the case that he can do whatever he wants.

“‘The Wandering Earth’ sounds like a very poetic name, but it is a romance that is unique to us Chinese. After all, who else would choose to wander with the Earth?
Of course, it may be that the house is too expensive. We don’t want to let down the house we just bought. We have to live in it as long as possible, right?”

"Hahaha, I can't take it anymore. Li Mu is too funny."

"That makes sense, indeed. I spent tens of millions to buy the Sanhuan. Damn it, the Earth must go wandering."

"Like, I agree with this reason!"

The audience below burst into laughter and couldn't help but agree with Li Mu's statement.

"Director Li is quite humorous." Zhou Yun smiled secretly, half covering her mouth.

"The words may be rough, but the truth is there!" Jiang Wen nodded.

"Of course, the above is a joke. It's just the four words 'The Wandering Earth'. From the time I read Mr. Liu Cixin's novel to the time I filmed it myself, I gradually realized why Mr. Liu Cixin named the novel The Wandering Earth.

Perhaps it is because the Chinese have an extremely close relationship with the land. We are a continental civilization, and it has been like this since ancient times. This land is the foundation for the development of Han culture.

The birth of a Chinese is called "crying on the ground", and the departure of a Chinese is called "dust to dust, earth to earth". We have established a harmonious and inseparable fate with the land throughout our lives. Fallen leaves return to their roots, and the land is the root of the Chinese people. Roots are the unique belief of Han culture. In the movie, the sun is about to be destroyed and take the earth away. This sentiment of not sparing any cost is something that only Chinese people dare to think about and dare to do."

Li Mu spoke eloquently on the stage, and there was applause from the audience.

"it is good!"

"well said!"

"."

"Um, Teacher Liu, am I right? If my understanding is wrong, please correct me." Li Mu looked at Liu Cixin holding the microphone.

"Director Li, to be honest, I didn't really think too much about the name." Liu Cixin's words immediately caused laughter in the audience.

"Is it embarrassing?"

"I'm just asking you, are you embarrassed?"

"I understand this. Isn't it just like Lu Xun wrote a line in his novel, the sky is getting dark? As a result, the teacher asked us to interpret it, what is the background of the society at that time, and what is the expression of the protagonist's inner despair."

There was a burst of laughter, discussion and shouting from the audience.

"Of course this is also a joke." Liu Cixin also turned back humorously, "Actually, this name was chosen more because of the plot. This name came to my mind at the beginning.

The real reason behind this name is what Director Li just said, because of the culture, because our roots are in this land."

Liu Cixin also knew that it was his turn, and he narrated the origin and process of this story on the stage.

"Uh, I seem to have taken over the show a bit." Liu Cixin glanced at the main creators, all of whom were listening to his story, and couldn't help but smile.

"No, no," Li Mu and Wu Jing hurriedly shook their heads.

"We love to listen! We love to listen!"

"Teacher Liu, please tell me more."

The audience below were also cheering.

"Time is limited. I will tell some stories later in the interview. If you are interested, you can go and take a look." Liu Cixin glanced at the time. After all, the main creative team also needed to share, and then changed the subject.

"Actually, I came here today to see the best Chinese science fiction film. No, I should say, the one directed by one of the best science fiction directors in the world, Li Mu. Are you looking forward to the science fiction film?"

"expect!"

The audience responses below were very consistent.

Li Mu also knew about this, and then asked Wu Jing, Wu Mengda, Qu Chuxiao, and Zhao Jinmai to share some interesting stories about the crew. At this point, the interactive session of New Year greetings officially ended.

The theater suddenly became dark, and then a golden dragon flashed by, and the film slowly appeared in front of everyone.

All the audience, film critics, guests and media focused their attention on the big screen.

The film begins with a plain everyday scene, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is probably a flashback scene or a background explanation.

Wu Jing, Wu Mengda and Qu Chuxiao camping on the beach when they were children.

However, as the narration explained the background, just fifteen seconds later, all the audience's hearts were in their throats.

The sun is aging, global climate is catastrophic, icebergs are melting, seawater is spreading, all things are on the verge of extinction, plagues, diseases, and viruses are sweeping the world.

Although there are no volcanic eruptions, no cracks in the earth, no tsunamis or tornadoes, no color changes in the sky and earth, and even fewer aliens and laser cannons;

But at this moment, all the audience felt the panic of doomsday. The sense of immersion that was closely related to life and closely connected to themselves made everyone feel what the real doomsday was.

As the narration ended, a pure white earth appeared before everyone's eyes.

With icy weather and Sprite, everything seems to have returned to the Ice Age.

At this moment, the four big words "The Wandering Earth" officially came into everyone's sight, and it was obvious that the main feature of the movie had officially begun.

"It feels quite interesting. Tens of thousands of engines and steering engines are pushing the earth to wander. This concept is quite interesting."

"Li Mu's directing is really good. It feels very sci-fi in just a few minutes."

"."

The audience below was discussing in low voices.

The story begins with Liu Qi, played by Qu Chuxiao, and Han Duoduo, played by Zhao Jinmai.

Liu Qi, a rebellious teenager, escaped from the underground city with his equally disobedient sister because of his misunderstanding of his father. He saw the real surface world and stole his grandfather Han Ziang's (played by Ng Man-tat) transport vehicle.

So the classic quote came out.

"The Third District Transportation Committee of the Capital City kindly reminds you that there are thousands of roads, but safety is the most important. If you drive improperly, your loved ones will shed tears."

As soon as the classic sentence sounded, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't tell me, I think this effect is actually quite good. It can ease the audience's emotions."

Yang Yu is analyzing it seriously. For professionals, they pay more attention to the core and the purpose of doing so.

"Well, to avoid the plot being too boring." Zhang Yi nodded slowly.
