Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was June 28th, the day Battle of Red Cliffs and Assassin would be released at the same time.
Director Wu Zixu and the main cast rushed to Los Angeles in the morning to attend the premiere of MGM Grand Cinema.
While eating, Wang Guoan asked, "Yunhai, do you think we can beat Paramount's Assassin?"
When the others heard this, they all looked at Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Looks like everyone's not very confident?"
Wu Zixu cried and laughed. "If it was in Hua Xia, of course we would be full of confidence. Even if it was a movie better than Assassin, we wouldn't be afraid at all. But in Europe and America, everyone is unfamiliar with the place, and only a few people know us. I really don't feel confident. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Don't worry, I think it won't be worse than Assassin. I'm not boasting, but my first foreign album sold tens of millions of copies in Europe and America, and I have countless fans. With them, I believe it won't be a problem. Actually, the most important thing for a movie is its reputation. As long as the reputation is good, our Battle of Red Cliffs will definitely win the final victory. "
This was really not boasting.
Xiao Yunhai's music album was a fusion of Jackson and Elvis Presley's songs, and it was extremely popular. Almost all the music stores were playing his music. Break dancing, mechanical dancing, air walking, and so on were compulsory for all dance enthusiasts. It could be said that there was no one in Europe and America who didn't know Xiao Yunhai. His fan page had reached tens of millions, and it was terrifying.
Fans and movie fans often overlapped, and those crazy fans of Xiao Yunhai would definitely come to support their idol's movie.
However, it would be very difficult to beat Assassin in the early stages.
Wu Zixu smiled. "I hope so. Come, let's toast to the success of Battle of Red Cliffs. "
"Cheers."
At 7: 30 that night, Xiao Yunhai and the others arrived at MGM Grand Cinema. At this time, there was already a long line inside.
When they saw Xiao Yunhai, the fans immediately surrounded him.
Due to time constraints, Xiao Yunhai did not give everyone an autograph. Instead, they took a picture together.
After filming, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters, thank you for supporting our Battle of Red Cliffs. The movie is about to start. Let's queue up and buy the tickets first. If you feel that 'Battle of Red Cliff' is not bad after watching the movie, please recommend it to your friends and family. As you know, I still have a strong opponent, 'Assassin'. "
The movie fans all laughed out loud.
Zhao Yun and Li Shangming said enviously, "When can I have so many fans in America?"
Wang Guoan patted his shoulder and said, "It's already impossible for us to reach his level. You still have a lot of hope. Polish your acting skills well and wait for your own opportunity. Maybe in less than two years, you can also become an international superstar. "
Li Shangming nodded and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Teacher Wang. I will definitely work hard."
Wu Zixu turned his head and glanced at him with admiration, but his heart was sighing. Li Shangming's age was seven or eight years older than Xiao Yunhai. If he wanted to catch up to him, he probably wouldn't be able to in this lifetime. In fact, it was not just him. In the entire world of film, not to mention young artists under 35, even those old guys who had acted for their entire lives, who dared to say that they could compare to Xiao Yunhai?
He was a guy who was even more monstrous than a monster.
Just as he got rid of the fans, Xiao Yunhai saw Kree walking over with a hot beauty in his arms.
"Xiao, it looks like a lot of fans came to watch the movie. I heard that 60% of the tickets for the first two shows tonight have been sold. For a Hua Xia movie, it's already very good. Even 'Xiao Cui' can't compare. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's good news. Then do you know what 'Assassin' is like? "
Kree touched his nose and smiled bitterly. "Are you looking for excitement that much?"
Xiao Yunhai asked, "It looks like their results are very good. Haha, just say it. It's okay. This little bit of excitement won't affect me much. "
Kree said, "I heard that the tickets for the first show of 'Assassin' are all sold out. There are only some bad seats left for the second show. There's no other way. The female lead of 'Assassin' is Hollywood's most beautiful goddess, Annie Winslet. She is the dream lover of all American men. "
Annie Winslet was only 26 years old this year and was an actress from Warner Pictures.
A few years ago, she debuted in a TV series and quickly became a big star in Hollywood with her outstanding acting skills, elegant temperament, perfect figure, and beautiful appearance.
Later, she starred in three literary movies. Although the box office was not very good, her acting skills were widely praised by industry insiders.
'Assassin' was the first commercial blockbuster with Annie Winslet as the female lead. Naturally, it attracted the crazy pursuit of those perverts.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Miss Winslet's charm is indeed not something men like us can compare to. This is not beyond my expectations. "
Kree sighed and said, "Sigh, the worst is us MGM Grand. Two days later, our comedy movie will be released. I've watched this movie and laughed from the beginning to the end. I have high hopes for it. It's a pity that I ran into you guys. I'm in trouble now. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Don't say that. Who knows, we might be overturned by this movie of yours."
Kree snorted and said, "Is there anyone who comforts people like you? A movie directed by a newcomer, starring a newcomer, with less than 10 million dollars in investment, wants to beat two blockbusters? What kind of joke is this? "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Let's go in and take a look. I hope the reaction of the fans will surprise us. "
Xiao Yunhai and the others came to a theater and sat down. After a while, the movie started.
Wu Zixu spent a lot of effort to make this foreign version was very different from the domestic version. It was edited using a small way to see the big picture, and it had the flavor of a foreign movie.
During the screening process, Xiao Yunhai found that the movie fans were most interested in the battle scenes inside, such as the city attack and defense battle, Zhao Zi Long riding alone to save his master, the various changes in battle formations, and so on, all of which could cause people to exclaim from time to time. Especially the grand Eight Trigrams Array at the end, which made all the movie fans gasp in shock.
Two hours later, the movie ended with a round of applause and cheers.
"That's great. The cold weapons battle in 'Battle of Red Cliff' left me dumbfounded."
"I like the Eight Trigrams Formation the most. It's so mysterious. So many people rushed in, but they all died. Awesome. "
"That Zhao Zi Long is the most powerful. He rushed out of the army with a spear and saved the king's son."
"I found that Hua Xia's war movies are very different from Hollywood's war movies. They have all kinds of tactics and pay attention to cooperation. Hollywood, on the other hand, pays attention to momentum and is more about one-on-one fighting. I have to say that the civilization of Hua Xia's 5,000 years of history is indeed not comparable to other countries. "
Some of the chief editors, film critics, and experts who came to watch the movie were also discussing.
"This movie is amazing. It doesn't seem easy for 'Assassin' to beat it."
"That's right. The director of this movie is very skilled. The battle scenes are grand and majestic, but the details are not lost. Amazing. "
"I think the actors in it are even more amazing. Everyone's acting is very good. If I were an Oscar judge, there would be at least four actors nominated for Best Supporting Role. "
"More importantly, this movie is the same as' Xiao Cui. 'There is no sense of contradiction. Haha, I thought that 'Assassin' would be able to defeat the opponent with the home advantage. I didn't expect to meet a big hedgehog. Maybe 'Assassin' will be stung by this hedgehog until they are covered in blood. "
Xiao Yunhai's ears were very sharp. When he heard the discussions of the crowd, he was slightly relieved.
In Paramount Cinema, there were also endless cheers.
The selling point of this movie was the incredible killing method. It was clean and neat, without any hesitation. Every time the protagonist used some unique method to kill someone, it would cause the fans to exclaim.
If Xiao Yunhai saw it, he would probably find it similar to 'Mechanic' in his previous life, but the scenes were more exciting and the plot was more exciting.
After the premiere, Hanks said to the movie's creators in high spirits, "If you guys have nothing else to do, how about we go out for a midnight snack to celebrate?"
Everyone agreed.
What a joke, it was Paramount's invitation. Even if they had something to do, they would definitely put it aside.
Only Annie Winslet shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, it's already very late. I won't be going."
Hanks was not unhappy that Annie Winslet did not give him face in public. Instead, he said with a smile, "Miss Winslet, it's a pity that you won't be coming."
Annie Winslet was the niece of Warner's CEO, Steve Bix. Her status was not inferior to Hanks's.
This Warner was not Michael Eisner's Warner Film Company, but its parent company, Time Warner Entertainment Media Empire.
Michael Eisner was, at best, a shareholder of Warner Bros., and could not be compared to Steve Bixner in any way.
Although in terms of assets, Steer was not afraid of Time Warner, and even far surpassed them, no one was willing to be enemies with Time Warner, because they had the greatest weapon — publicity.
They had branches in every region of the world. If they really were enemies with Time Warner, unless Steer did not make a mistake, as long as they caught a trace of something, it would spread to the world at the fastest speed, and Steer would be in big trouble.
Of course, this did not mean that Steer would be afraid of Time Warner.
The two of them were large multinational companies. Unless they encountered an unresolvable conflict, they would usually resolve the dispute through negotiation.
Annie Winslet smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I usually like to be quiet. Goodbye, everyone."
After that, Annie Winslet, accompanied by her assistant and bodyguards, got into a luxury car and left the theater.
Hanks looked at the car slowly leaving, and a trace of lust flashed in his eyes. He swore in his heart that he must get this woman full of endless charm.
