Chapter 833

When night fell, there was a sea of people outside the Efron Grand Theater. Under the bright neon lights, the fans waved and screamed at their favorite stars, trying their best to express their excitement and joy. The reporters kept looking for their prey, and then pressed the shutter, bringing up a series of flashes in the midst of the clicking sound.

This could be considered the largest premiere in the entire month of April. After all, the main leads were all big-name action stars. Even though Stallone was showing signs of decline, Willis was constantly seeking to change his career, and only Schwarzenegger was still at the peak of his career, this was the first time that these big action stars were acting together in a movie, and they were even bringing along a large group of action stars. A premiere of this scale was worthy of their statuses, right?

"This is a great movie, and it's also my first time working with Syl and Bruce. We all had a great time …" Schwarzenegger spoke to the camera next to the red carpet with his wife from the Kennedy family. When Stallone passed by, he even pulled him over and posed intimately in front of the reporters.

This was not an exaggeration. Although there were many conflicts between the action stars during the filming, and the ill-tempered "Boulder" Johnson and Siegel even fought in the ring, the three big shots still appreciated each other. Even if they had the intention to compare with each other in the past, after all, they had seen all kinds of things over the years. Why would they care about this? Besides, they did not really have conflicts.

Therefore, when the three of them put their arms around each other's shoulders on the red carpet, the surrounding screams became louder. However, no matter how the fans screamed, they were not in the limelight at the scene.

"Look, who is receiving the cheers?" Just as the three big shots finished taking photos, a familiar voice was heard. Then, the cameras that were aimed at them neatly turned to the side as if they had agreed on it.

"You're finally here, Eide!" The first to greet him was Willis. He raised his hand and gave Adriaan a slap, then hugged him affectionately. Then, Schwarzenegger and Stallone. Among the three of them, he was the most familiar with Willis. Not to mention that they had worked together in Pulp Fiction, the invitation to star in The Sixth Sense helped him get rid of the name of facial paralysis. Next was Schwarzenegger, because of Cameron, and last was Stallone.

"Mr. Adriaan!" The reporters began to clamor again. Vanity Fair's exclusive interview and the photo shoot with Miracle Girl, the preparation of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy on the big screen, and personally writing the "Matrix" novel trilogy. These recent news were enough to keep them busy. Although it was rare for the Big Three to get together, as long as they were in Hollywood, they didn't have to worry about not having a chance to interview them. However, it wouldn't be easy to get anything out of this man. Besides, although Adrian did not participate in the production of "The Expendables", everyone knew that it was because of him that these action actors could appear in the same movie.

"Why do you want of Lord of the Rings to be on the big screen? What do you think of this novel? What do you think of its connection with the opposition to the Vietnam War?

"I heard that Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Blanchett both have roles in Lord of the Rings. Is that true?"

"You completed the trilogy of 'The Matrix' a few years ago. At that time, did you already have the idea of making it into a movie?"

Unfortunately, Adriaan did not intend to satisfy their curiosity. He either avoided the topic or reminded them that "today is the premiere of The Expendable Squad." But in the end, he revealed something.

"If you really want to know, then I can tell you that after completing Lord of the Rings, the next two movies of The Matrix will also be completed in one go." Adriaan then entered the theater, leaving the group of reporters staring at each other outside.

Most of the guests had already entered the theater and were ready to sit in the screening hall, but many people were still chatting in the front hall. In addition to the actors, there were many other VIPs. The Big Three had been in Hollywood for so many years, and they all had connections. Now they all came to support, and Cameron was no exception.

After Titanic, Cameron had been very relaxed. The 150 million bonus was enough for him to do whatever he wanted. Adriaan also took this opportunity to invite him to take the crew of Doomsday Black Angel to New Zealand for a vacation. Although the TV series had not been broadcast for a long time, the response was quite good. The first season of sci-fi dramas was almost like this. Anyway, the special effects of Lord of the Rings were handled by Cameron's studio, so it was very normal for him to take the crew of Doomsday Black Angel on a vacation.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Cameron very straightforwardly agreed, but his warning and mocking expression with a smile yet not a smile was directly ignored by Adrian.

After greeting Shangg Yunton and the others, Adriaan immediately went to the only actress in the movie. She had grown a few inches taller, and her facial features had expanded a lot. She was starting to look beautiful a few years later. Of course, her breasts were even more "magnificent" — still compared to her peers.

"Wow, so charming." Adriaan's first words were praise, and there was a hint of emotion in his voice, as if he was very surprised.

Scarlet shyly lifted the corner of her skirt and lowered her body. She was wearing a fitting sapphire blue evening gown, and her blonde hair was combed back with a unique hairpin. She looked young and cute.

But then Adriaan showed a look of surprise. "What can I do for you, Si Jia?"

"Huh?" The girl looked at him with her mouth open, not knowing what to do. "Didn't you … didn't you just …"

"Just now?" Adriaan pretended to recall, and then a look of realization appeared on his face. "Oh, that's for your mother. You're very charming today, Ms. Melanie."

He smiled and extended his hand in front of Melanie, who was standing beside Si Jia. Melanie was a little surprised at first, but she immediately reacted and smiled as she shook hands with Adriaan. Si Jia also came to her senses. She immediately puffed up her cheeks and glared at Adriaan, then swung her fist at him.

"Si Jia!" Although Melanie's tone was reproachful, the smile on her face did not diminish at all.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? "Adriaan was still pretending. Although he did not dodge, he raised his arm in front of him.

"You hurt my heart!" The young girl shouted angrily. She hit him a few times before she finally stopped.

"Oh, I'm really sorry. I actually hurt such a beautiful and cute girl's heart. This is really too bad." Adriaan said in an exaggerated tone, sounding like an aria, which made him look rather comical.

Si Jia, who was originally tensed up, suddenly burst into laughter. Although she immediately restrained her laughter, it did not have the same effect as before. In the end, she could only glare at Adriaan fiercely.

"Alright, it seems that the cute Si Jia is really angry. Then …" Adriaan scratched his head and suddenly bowed to the girl in a gentlemanly manner. He then extended his hand and said, "Are you willing to go on a date with me, beautiful Miss Si Jia?"

"Not interested?" Si Jia turned her head to the side and crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking indifferent.

"Hmm … Then what do I have to do to get a date with you, beautiful Miss Si Jia?" Adriaan immediately asked in a tone filled with sincerity.

"This …" Si Jia rolled her eyes. They were currently in a public place, so she could not make any excessive requests. However, letting Adriaan off just like that seemed to be letting him off too lightly.

"Alright, as long as my mother agrees." She deliberately said in a haughty tone.

"Then, Melanie, can you let your beautiful and charming daughter go on a date with me?" Adriaan immediately asked with a playful smile.

"In principle, I don't object." Melanie covered her mouth and could not help but laugh when she saw the two 'clowns'. Hearing this answer, Si Jia looked at her mother with her mouth wide open in disbelief.

"Is it okay now?" Adriaan smiled and bowed to the girl again.

"Alright." Si Jia tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then, with a 'let's just forget about it' expression, she extended her hand in front of Adriaan. Unexpectedly, he actually held her little hand and raised it to his mouth, kissing the smooth back of her hand lightly.

"Then it's settled. Please be sure to come ten years later." Adriaan continued to say with a smile.

The moist feeling from her back was like an electric current that jumped around chaotically in the girl's body, causing her heart to beat a little faster. A trace of redness quickly flashed across her face, but after hearing the words' please be sure to come ten years later ', she could not help but feel disappointed, even though she still appeared to be mischievous on the surface.

Perhaps no one knew what was on the girl's mind, or perhaps there were people who knew, but this was not important. What was important was that as most of the people entered the screening hall and sat down, "The Expendables", which gathered many Hollywood action stars, was finally going to be screened.

There was no doubt that the opening scene would be an intense and explosive action scene. The members of the Expendables would form groups and display their abilities through combat methods. For example, the Big Three were the type of people who charged around recklessly, typical heroes in American action movies. It was as if they would never be injured, and the guns in their hands were always loaded. Diesel and Jett Lee, on the other hand, mainly focused on close combat. Diesel's fists were sharp and fierce, while Jett Lee was nimble. For this reason, Jett Lee, who was also a martial arts director, specially designed a set of punching techniques for Diesel, which were quite fierce and beautiful. Because of this, Diesel became good friends with him.

As for the others, Shangg Yundon and Rongor always cooperated with each other. Jean Reynolds liked to hide himself and provide fire support when necessary. As for Siegel, he was the entire team's adviser, continuing the image he had in "Dragon Strikes the Sky". He was cool and good at using everything at hand to attack.

The scene design was excellent, and the post-production editing was on point. It was very compact, and the explosive opening simply caught the audience's attention. Of course, this was not the only attraction of this movie. If it really went on like this for 90 minutes, no matter how many stars there were, and how exciting the editing was, it would still make the audience feel tired. So in addition to this, the large number of laughable insults in the film was also very eye-catching.
