Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Every year, the BBC sends an interview team to various cinemas during the Christmas season to interview passers-by who watch movies.

This year is no exception. On Christmas Eve on the 25th, the BBC, as in previous years, sent an interview team to the famous AMC Theater in Apple City.

In fact, this cinema was originally called the AMC Theater, but after AMC was acquired by Nie Wei, the name of this cinema was changed by Nie Wei.

This movie studio used to be one of the best cinemas in the Big Apple City. It has six floors, twelve screening rooms, and a dessert shop on the first floor.

After Nie Wei took over, he spent tens of millions of dollars to renovate this cinema.

First, the twelve screening rooms were merged into five screening rooms, including two IMAX screening rooms.

Originally, there was only one small IMAX screening room in the cinema that could accommodate about 460 people. After the renovation, the cinema has two IMAX screening rooms that can accommodate 800 and 950 people.

The remaining three ordinary screening rooms can accommodate 600 people each.

Of course, this is much worse than the previous full capacity of 7,100 people in this cinema, but the reduction in the number of people has brought a more comfortable service environment.

The sofa seats installed in the two IMAX theaters are all customized from NATUZZI, the world's top sofa manufacturer. Even if they are ordered in batches, the price of a seat is as high as 2,800 US dollars, and this has not yet calculated the design cost of the sofa seats.

In addition, the IMAX theater that can accommodate 950 people has the world's largest IMAX giant screen, which is 102X50 feet in size, and this theater is also the world's largest IMAX theater.

Because the theater was reduced, part of the building was vacated, and Nie Wei advocated converting it into a leisure area and children's area.

Some parents with children want to watch a restricted movie, but they are troubled by the fact that their children can't watch it. They can leave their children in the children's area, where there are many toys, all made by the world's top toy manufacturers, and also designed by special designers to ensure that there will be no facilities that may cause children to be injured.

In addition, Nie Wei also hired professional kindergarten teachers, each of whom has at least ten years of experience in taking care of children. Of course, the children placed here cannot be too young, at least three years old.

The leisure area was built into a small library under Nie Wei's suggestion. The current collection of books is about 25,000, which is not too much, but not too little.

A general library will have many professional books, but not here. The books in this leisure area similar to a small library are mostly novels, chicken soup for the soul, children's books and fashion magazines.

Anyway, they are basically the types of books that can quickly help people kill time.

It is worth mentioning that with any movie ticket in hand, the audience can also go to the librarian to get a free movie guide, which contains many well-known film critics' comments on the movies being released and the classification of recommended moviegoers.

The dessert shop downstairs will still be open, but it must be renovated from the inside to the outside, otherwise it will not be worthy of such a high-end cinema.

After all, this was originally just an ordinary dessert shop with barely good decoration. It was also a sideline established by AMC for the film industry. There was no excessive investment at all. However, Nie Wei was different. He would not ignore every corner of the film industry. Even the toilets would be built into a five-star one, so that the entire cinema could give people a high-end feeling.

The dessert shop was redesigned by the famous designer Munger. The design fee alone was as high as two million US dollars. This was a friendship price because Nie Wei had a good relationship with him. Otherwise, if you just wanted to hire him to design, you would have to wait for a year or two. After all, he had just won a world-class design award and was very popular.

After the renovation, Nie Wei also hired a well-known dessert chef as the chef. This chef was also very famous and had been on the Michelin magazine. Among the world's dessert chefs, he could definitely be ranked in the top 100.

At first, the other party did not agree immediately. After all, although I am a chef and you are a world-class rich man, I can't agree to your invitation. It's too cheap to be the chef of a dessert shop in a movie theater.

It was not until Nie Wei offered him double his salary and asked him to see the renovated dessert shop that this guy was finally completely moved and accepted Nie Wei's contract.

With both soft and hard means, the dessert shop immediately became the most beautiful scenery in the cinema as soon as it opened.

It even made it to the dessert shop rankings of the food magazine, surpassing countless well-known dessert shops and ranking fifth in the United States, which also cast a legendary color on the dessert shop in this cinema.

The female reporter who led the team came to the cinema and went straight to the dessert shop as soon as she arrived.

Of course, she didn't ignore her work for the desserts. Although she really liked the desserts here, and it could even be said that she was crazy about them, but at least there was a camera next to her.

The reason she came here was because there were many girls or couples here.

The female reporter's name is Catherine, and the photographer following behind her is George. This is their fifth year doing this interview program, so even after a year, they were only a little unfamiliar with it at the beginning. After entering the dessert shop, Catherine had already gotten into the state, and her eyes were like an eagle's, looking around for targets.

Soon, a pure-looking girl with blond hair and blue eyes came into Catherine's eyes. Seeing this girl, Catherine's eyes immediately lit up, and she took steps towards the girl.

Such a beautiful girl must be very photogenic. Such a beautiful girl can already attract many perverted men to watch the show. Catherine has made up her mind. Regardless of whether the girl's answer is interesting or not, she must be cut into the trailer. She will definitely attract people when the time comes. Very male audience.

The little girl who was targeted by Catherine was called Irina. She just turned eighteen this year. She went to watch a movie with her best friend. While waiting, she just ordered a dessert when she saw Catherine coming over.

Elena subconsciously dodged the camera, but with George's more than ten years of photography skills, how could it be possible for the little girl to completely avoid it? It doesn't matter if you turn your face to the other side. If you change the angle, you can still take a beautiful picture of you.

"Hello, can I please interview you? Don't worry, I won't take you too long. I'm just going to ask a few simple questions." Seeing the shyness of the little girl, Catherine sighed at the beauty of youth and asked skillfully. .

There are several key words in her words, which will not take too long. The question is very 'simple'. Even if most people don't want to be interviewed, but after hearing these two key words, they may just think about it and agree.

As for how long the interview will take, it actually depends on the person's answers. If it's very funny, Catherine doesn't mind extending the interview time and asking a few more questions.

"Can you introduce yourself first?"

"My name is Elena, and this is my best friend next to me, her name is Anna."

"Both of you are very beautiful and elegant. Are you students from the Art Institute?"

"No, no, my major is mathematics, and Anna's major is civil engineering." Both Elena and Anna were a little happy to be regarded as art school students. The little girl couldn't hide her smile when she denied it.

Although she had been praised for her beauty by many people, after all, the compliments came from different people. For example, being praised by a professional reporter like Catherine made her feel very different. In short, she was very happy.

"I really didn't expect that your appearance and temperament are more beautiful than many celebrities." Catherine praised again, and Elena blushed and lowered her head, shyly saying, 'Thank you. ’

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Catherine immediately turned the topic to the main topic of the interview.

"I guess you and your besties didn't come here specifically for dessert today. Which movie did you come to see?" Catherine asked.

"Interstellar!" Before Elena could answer, Anna on the side replied.

Then without waiting for Catherine to ask, she couldn't wait to say: "That is the best science fiction movie I have ever seen. I haven't shed tears in the cinema for a long time."

"Oh? Have you seen this movie before?" Although Catherine was a little annoyed at Anna's interruption, she still caught a few key words after listening to Anna's words, and then asked immediately.

"Of course." Anna immediately admitted: "I watched the premiere of Zero Point yesterday. This movie is very good, indescribably great. I took Elena to watch it again today. I believe she will also Like, we are all fans of Nie Wei’s movies.”

Speaking of this, Anna suddenly waved towards the camera and said: "Nie Wei, if you see this interview, remember me, my name is Anna, and I will become a well-known architectural designer in the future. I’m willing to draw a design for you for free, without any payment. I just need you to give me a movie ticket to watch your movies for life! The last thing I want to say is that you are really charming and I like you!”

Catherine's face was not very good, and she secretly made a scissors gesture towards George.

No one can predict whether they will become the laughing stock of the entire BBC if this interview is released.

After learning that Anna was an uncontrollable factor, Catherine immediately ignored the other party and signaled George to target Elena. This was the main goal of the interview.

"Are you here to watch "Interstellar" too?"

"Yes, I like science fiction movies very much." Elena replied softly.

"In addition to "Interstellar", is there anything else you want to watch?"

"No more. This year's Christmas season is the only one that interests me more: Interstellar."

"Thank you for accepting the interview." Catherine thanked her, and then left with George. Although Elena was very polite, the questions she answered were too boring. She had to change her target.

Soon she found another couple in the dessert.

The boy was a little shy in front of the camera, but the girl seemed very proactive.

"Which movie are you here to watch?" It's still the same question, but the person asking it is a different person, but the answer given by this girl is the same as Elena before.

"Is this your first time watching this movie?"

"No, this is our second time to watch it. We didn't get tickets for the IMAX-3D version of the movie yesterday, so today we bought tickets to watch it again."

"So what do you think is good about this movie? How does it compare with this year's "Guardians of the Galaxy" which has a good reputation?"

"It's meaningless to compare the two together." Although the girl looked a little excited when facing the camera, her head was very happy, and she analyzed clearly: ""Guardians of the Galaxy" is the kind of unrealistic science fiction, and although it is the same It’s science fiction, but “Guardians of the Galaxy” is still about confrontation.”

"Interstellar is different. It is a movie based on science and runs through the whole movie. It does not rely on fighting to catch the audience's attention. There is only one fight in the whole movie, and it is not very exciting, but it has its own unique charm. It is a science fiction movie that will make the audience feel the charm of science."

"I agree, and the core idea of ​​this movie is worth pondering and experiencing." The boy who had been silent suddenly interrupted.

Catherine thanked him, left the dessert shop, and continued to look for other targets.

The two interviewed for more than half an hour until a group of audiences entered the venue, and they considered that they had completed today's task.

What made them sigh was that they interviewed nearly 20 audiences, and 16 of them came to see "Interstellar". It can be imagined that this episode was edited and broadcasted, which was completely an advertisement for "Interstellar". Catherine even thought about whether to suggest that the station collect advertising fees from Nie Wei.

But then again, after hearing so many people want to watch this movie, or say how good this movie is, Catherine and George also want to go to the cinema to watch this movie.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Catherine was about to hand the microphone to George to go to the bathroom when she suddenly found a woman wearing a mask and sunglasses walking towards her in the corridor. She looked very familiar.

Catherine's legs, which had just taken half a step, were immediately retracted. She looked at the woman's figure and began to compare it with the celebrity library in her mind.

Whether it was a star or a passerby, Catherine could recognize it at a glance. After all, the aura was different, especially those big stars. No matter how they disguised themselves in the crowd, they were very eye-catching, because they were used to being the focus of the crowd, and they would unconsciously become very conspicuous in the crowd.

And the woman who was walking towards her gave Catherine this feeling, and Catherine felt very strongly that this woman must be a big star.

Facing Catherine's gaze, this woman was not flustered at all, and her steps were light, as if she ignored Catherine and George, but the more this happened, the more Catherine felt that this woman was not simple.

After all, ordinary people would panic when they saw someone staring at her like this, with a camera on the side.

Just as the two were about to pass by each other, Catherine smelled the fragrance of the woman, and suddenly a female star she had interviewed a few months ago appeared in her mind.

"Yes!" Catherine's expression was delighted, and she slid to block the woman's way.

"Ms. Portman, hello."
