Chapter 386 North American Premiere
"Gu Feng, as an actor who was reprimanded by Ning Sheng, what do you think of Ning Sheng? What's the difference between director Kim Sang Jae and director Ning Sheng?"

"At that time, I was ignorant and too young. Fortunately, Director Ning gave me a head-on blow so that I could go back to the right path earlier. For this, I am very grateful to Director Ning. As for Director Kim Sang-jae and Director Ning The difference between directors, I think Director Kim Sang-jae treated me more delicately in terms of emotions, and Director Ning, to be honest, I haven’t had time to cooperate with Director Ning well, but from Director Ning’s works, I think that Ning The director is the kind of director who is unconstrained and unconstrained."

"Then you don't have any dissatisfaction or resentment towards Ning Cheng who made you fall into the mundane world when you were popular and was forced to hide for more than a year? If you have the opportunity to participate in Ning Cheng's works in the future, you will participate in it again Are you not afraid that he will wear small shoes for you?"

"In the beginning, there was indeed resentment, but after a while, I calmed down and thought about it, and I figured it out. As I said just now, I can be reminded by Director Ning to help I am very grateful for guiding me to the right path. As for the opportunity to participate in Director Ning's new works in the future, I am naturally very willing. I believe that many people are willing to join Director Ning's movies for free. After all, like Ning Sheng It is a rare learning opportunity for actors like us to cooperate with a big director. As for what you said about wearing small shoes, I believe Director Ning is not that kind of person—"

After interviewing Kim Sang Jae, the reporter interviewed Gu Feng, and finally asked another female star Yang Na.

However, compared to the first two who talked about the great director Ning Sheng, Yang Na and Ning Sheng had no contact at all from the beginning to the end, and the host could only talk about some things in "Kyoto Love Story".

This interview was posted on the Internet in the form of a video, and soon, other media found the news points they wanted, and then released their own comments and news in a blink of an eye.

The Kyoto Sun wrote in the entertainment section, ""Kyoto Love Story" used countless bloody tragedies to tell everyone that love is a tragedy, and director Kim Sang-jae described the bloody plots in his movie as extractions from real life in an interview with reporters. , dismissing all those who don't like this movie and make complaints about it as unhealthy, because in his opinion, Ning Sheng's "Face Changing" is a bloodier, more perverted pornographic violence game, Those people don't complain about Ning Sheng's "Face Changing", but complain about his "Kyoto Love Story" because they are either intentional scorn, or they are perverted! But, looking at the box office, we ask ourselves, it seems that we still like to watch "Face Changing", Are we all unhealthy perverts?"

The six media outlets that had been blocked by Ning Cheng were even more energetic, picking out the words and sentences from the video and firing wildly at Ning Cheng.

"Director Kim Sang-jae bravely spoke out, "Face Changing" is a disgusting and violent game with a perverted heart! Perhaps the censors should re-examine whether this film should be released!"

"Gu Feng, who was suppressed by Ning Cheng, once again managed to get ahead with his own efforts, but because he was afraid of Ning Cheng's silver-power, he didn't even dare to express his anger towards Ning Cheng. This shows Ning Cheng's respect for China's entertainment circle For young people, it is simply a tyrant-like existence, and it has seriously damaged the friendly atmosphere in our circle!"

These domestic reports did not affect Ning Sheng's propaganda work in Tokyo at all. Although some reporters called to interview him, they were pushed by his assistant.

Now that the Internet is so developed, how can he not know anything about the news that happened in the country? Zuo didn't hear it, and there was no follow-up news, so naturally no one paid attention.

Ning Sheng finished his publicity work for the day in Tokyo, and immediately flew to Seoul, South Korea to continue his last promotion in Asia, and the next day, he immediately flew to Hollywood, USA, to prepare for the upcoming North American premiere of "Face Changing" .

This time, Ning Cheng's manager, Sister Lin, did not come with her because she was going to follow the three girls of NLZ. Their first world tour started in Shanghai on August 15th. Now they are busy with rehearsals and making final preparations. Sheng couldn't follow them, so he had to ask Sister Lin to follow them closely to avoid accidents.

Ning Cheng didn't care about the domestic media and those people with ulterior motives, but those fans of Ning Sheng in China would not just watch their idols being hacked and remain indifferent.

As a world superstar with over [-] million followers on Weibo, total sales of records over [-] million, and the number one film box office in Asia, even though Ning Sheng has not responded, Ning Sheng's fans have automatically rushed to the positions that attacked Ning Sheng to launch a counterattack.

Not to mention, no one in the whole country knows that Ning Sheng banned the six media and became sworn enemies with them. Therefore, the official websites of the six media on the Internet were flocked by Ning Sheng's fans, and they attacked Ning Sheng in every article. The crazy comments under the news caused the official websites of the six media to freeze.

"I have known for a long time that the entertainment media is shameless and shameless, but I never thought that as a media, it can be so shameless. For Ning Sheng, a genius in the entertainment industry, you not only do not defend him, help him, but target him everywhere. Discrediting him, can you sleep at night? Will your conscience not hurt?"

"As a gangster film, "Face Changing" has a new direction and a new feeling that is different from the past. It is a classic film that makes people feel the good and evil of human nature. It was sprayed by you gangsters as a '***' violent game. I’m really convinced, is it because you are mentally unhealthy and perverted, or are all the tens of thousands of movie fans who are watching the movie unhealthy? Aren’t you afraid of being thrown rotten eggs when you go out and walk on the street?”

"If "Kyoto Love Story" can be regarded as a realistic modern love, then I would rather never fall in love in this life and be single for the rest of my life. If watching "Face Changing" means my heart is unhealthy, then I would rather continue to be unhealthy!"

"There is no reason, no logic, only black for the sake of black, no wonder Ning Cheng wants to block you, you are a disgrace to the entertainment industry, you are the scum of the media!"

"In response to Ning Sheng's ban on the six media outlets, I decided to call on everyone around me to refuse to buy the newspapers or any news from these six outlets!"

""Kyoto Love Story" is trying to catch the heat, and is afraid of making Ning Cheng angry, so it slightly disgusts you like this, and then hides behind to say good things? No wonder the film is not made well, and the brain is useless in the right way. place!"

On August [-]th, in front of the Huaxia Theater in Hollywood, thousands of fans and hundreds of media have gathered in front of the fence. Of course, it can attract so many media, not because of the high expectations of "Face Changing", but because of the attractive stars. .

First of all, on the Huaxia side, Ning Sheng, Ding Xuan, and of course starring Liang Jiahui and Wu Zhengyu are also there, as well as Fa Ge, Ge Ge, Ti Lung, Zhang Manyu, Lin Qingxia, etc. who were invited to cheer on the battlefield. Not a small well-known Chinese superstars.

On the North American side, Emma, ​​Britney, Julia Roberts, Jennifer, George Clooney, Xiao Li, etc. Although most of the North American media came for these Hollywood superstars recruited for Julia, but for the For the Chinese stars who have passed Cannes Best Actor and Berlin Best Actor, they will not be left out in the cold.

In particular, more than half of the fans present were Chinese, so when they took a group photo in front of the theater, everyone was very happy.

When walking the red carpet, a group of Chinese stars and a group of North American stars came and went. Whether it was Chinese superstars or Hollywood superstars, when they faced the reporters, they all had a crush on Ning Sheng's movie "Face Changing". " gave a lot of expectations, especially when Julia praised Ning Sheng fiercely in front of the reporters.

And when Ning Sheng and Emma walked through the red carpet together, they were questioned by many reporters.

"Ning Sheng, how much box office do you think your movie will make in North America?"

Ning Sheng didn't hesitate, and directly said the conservative estimate he once told Fa Ge and the others, "I think it's around 5000 million US dollars. Of course I hope it's higher!"

The reporter was immediately excited, "Did you know? The highest box office of Huaxia films made by Huaxia directors in North America has always been "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee with 1.28 million US dollars, and the No.2 is "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou 5371 million US dollars, do you think this "Face Changing" can be ranked second or third?"

Ning Cheng said with a smile, "Of course it depends on how many people like the movie. I think it will be clear after the movie is finished."

"Emma, ​​have you watched "Face Changing"? Do you think it will make 5000 million in the box office in North America?" A reporter asked Emma with a microphone.

Emma has long habitually replied, "This movie has been released in Asia for a week. I think everyone can take a look at the box office results and word-of-mouth of "Face Changing" in Asia in the first week. Anyone who has seen it will not regret it!"

Emma didn't directly respond to the box office issue, so the reporter naturally kept on asking, "Then do you think the box office will be $5000 million?"

Emma glanced at Ning Sheng, then nodded and said, "I believe in Ning Sheng!" Although she was also very worried, after all, it is not easy for Chinese movies to get high box office in North America. The relationship between characters and plot stories in the movie cannot be understood by the world view.

The high-grossing "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" all have so many box office, in addition to the director's profound skills, beautiful pictures, and the theme is the martial arts movie that North American audiences like most Chinese movies. Most importantly, When the director was filming, he made the story and world background simpler and clearer, so that North American audiences can understand it more easily.

Of course, even if she was worried in her heart, Emma naturally had to trust Ning Sheng when facing reporters. This is a practice she heard from some people when she was studying Chinese culture, that is, not to be outside, in front of outsiders. , showing disbelief, disrespecting her husband's behavior, and maintaining her husband's dignity.

Of course, in Emma's translation, it means, in front of outsiders, to make Ning Sheng unconditionally trust, and to tolerate the machismo of the other party.

Naturally, Ning Sheng didn't know about Emma's psychology, and Emma didn't tell Ning Sheng what she was thinking.

Many of the fans who had been waiting for a day got their idols' autographs and group photos. When the sky darkened, the red carpet session finally came to an end. In the Huaxia Theater, there were a total of [-] seats. Ning Sheng, Emma and others Sitting in the first row, quietly watching the screen light up and the movie start playing.

In addition to the cheering stars and audience fans who attended the premiere, there are also many film critics. They will give their own evaluations immediately after watching, and guide the audience to choose their favorite movies.

At the beginning of the movie, a piece of background music, a few children's laughter, and a gunshot were used to explain the origin of the whole movie, or in the first few minutes, it told everyone the deadly relationship between Wu Zhengyu and Liang Jiahui.

Next, Wu Zhengyu's madness and Liang Jiahui's desperation kept everyone's eyes glued to them. This story has no complicated world background and no cultural differences. Everyone can understand that it is the police who catch the bad guys!

However, with such a simple story, under the arrangement of the director and the wonderful performances of the actors, everyone who watched it was so absorbed that they seemed to forget that they were watching a Chinese movie.

In the first half, whether it is the madness of the villains or the exciting scenes of the police and gangster battles, it is very exciting. However, when the face-changing link appeared, not only the audience was shocked, but the film critics were also more energetic. Although the first half was very exciting , but for some film critics, explosions and crazy bad guys alone won't satisfy them.

When the second half began, the police and robbers who changed their faces once met, the police were locked in prison, and the bad guys with police face were standing outside, the film critics finally felt a little excited.

Especially the two who changed their faces, and even their identities. The real policeman was trapped in the prison with the face of a villain, while the fake policeman relied on his power to make his way to the top.

The original good situation of the police catching the bad guys has completely collapsed. The audience is anxious for the real police in the prison, but the film critics have seen more things from the attitude of the fake police when they get along with the real police's family members. , this is not a simple villain character.

Then the real police escaped from prison violently, and the fake police led the special police to attack his original accomplice's lair. When his younger brother died unexpectedly, the painful appearance of the fake police made people feel different.

When the last scene was staged in the church, there were multiple confrontations, complicated relationships, dangerous gun battles, the sound of white doves flying, and fallen figures.

The movie is wonderful from beginning to end, and the identities of the two policemen and villains are even more amazing. At the end, the real policeman adopted the son of the villain who killed his own son, just like God gave him as compensation. It's like the fusion of two families, the smoke clears, and what remains is happiness and joy!
