"Ivanka, who is that Chen? He's so handsome."

Ivanka looked at Zhukova, who was starry-eyed, and pinched her best friend's waist.

"I'm not entirely sure, but he must be quite wealthy. He's the one who invested in and produced this movie."

"Don't you know him?"

“I only met him yesterday. All I know is that he’s a media tycoon, quite handsome, and he especially likes to tease me.”

"Ivanka, do you think I can win him over? He's so handsome, I like him so much."

Ivanka looked at her best friend speechlessly.

"You're such a sucker for good looks, how could you fall in love at first sight?"

Zhukova looked at Shen Fang, who was eating cake with Liu Qianqian in the distance.

"He has that kind of feeling, he's really handsome."

"If you're interested, I'll host a dinner party at my house in a couple of days and help you make the connection, but Crystal is a big obstacle for you."

"That little girl?" Zhukova pointed to Liu Qianqian, who was showing off her cake.

Ivanka nodded: "That's right. Crystal is very clingy and hostile towards women who get close to her. If you want to get close to her, I think you should get along with her first."

"Too much trouble. You keep an eye on the little girl for me, and I'll get straight to the point and finish this quickly."

"Crystal and I are best friends now."

Zhukova put her arm around Ivanka's shoulder.

"We've been best friends for years, and our families are even friends. I've finally found a handsome guy who's good at giving gifts, can you help me out?"

Ivanka gave Zhukova a sly smile: "It's not that I can't help you, but I'm going to have to spend some money since I'm taking Crystal out."

Upon hearing this, Zhukova immediately patted her chest.

"No problem, it's no big deal, I'll pay the bill."

Ivanka gave an OK sign.

"It's settled then."

"Leo, Leo! Brother Shen Fang is Leo. And Tom Cruise too, I want to take a picture with him."

Shen Fang glanced at Harvey.

"Old Ha, my sister wants to take a picture with Leon and Tom Cruise."

Harvey laughed: "No problem, come with me."

......

Harvey took Liu Qianqian to take photos with the Hollywood stars, and the interview ended 30 minutes later.

The group entered the cinema, and the movie officially began.

With its weighty music, vividly colored visuals, historical atmosphere, picturesque cinematography, well-developed characters, and profound story message—a tale of peace, unity, and individual heroism—this work resonates deeply with foreign audiences.

Firstly, the First Emperor is already very famous abroad, and Chen Daoming's portrayal in the film is equally commanding. The cinematography, with its rich and beautiful color palette, is stunning. The fight scenes between the thousand-year-old red maple and poplar forest, the dragonfly-like water-skimming skills in Jiuzhaigou, and the sharp, powerful action sequences all contribute to the film's high-class atmosphere. The rain of arrows is palpable, exuding a palpable sense of killing intent. The special effects are also incredibly cool, and this film has a profound impact on foreign audiences.

The 2-hour movie ended.

As the audience left, the prepared media personnel began interviewing passersby who were also leaving.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the BBC. What are your thoughts on the movie you just watched, 'Hero'?"

A BBC reporter pulled a tall white man aside for an interview.

"OMG!!! This is a great work. I really can't believe it was made by Chinese people."

Could you elaborate?

The white man shoved the reporter away.

"Don't block my way, I need to come and see for myself. If you want to know, go ask someone else."

The BBC's beautiful reporter looked completely bewildered. After recovering from her initial confusion, she pulled a young blonde woman aside for an interview.

"Did you just watch the movie 'Hero'?"

"Yes."

So what did you think of the movie?

The young woman looked at the reporter and the camera equipment with great excitement.

"This is a great work that depicts the world's first emperor in a magnificent and colorful way, describing the greatness of the first emperor of the ancient Chinese civilization from multiple angles and perspectives."

The reporter looked completely bewildered. "Are you an actor I hired?"

"How was your work?"

The blonde woman carefully organized her thoughts.

"The film is rich in color and very distinctive, with many unique Chinese cultural elements. Jet Li's performance is absolutely explosive and incredibly cool. The female lead is also fantastic, with excellent acting skills. It's a truly outstanding work. Zhang Yimou is a great director. It's a very good film that everyone should see; it's well worth the ticket price and can be considered a work of cinematic art."

The young lady spoke the last sentence in Chinese.

The reporter then interviewed many more viewers. Without exception, they all gave it very high scores, saying it was a very good movie and worth the ticket price.

One of the Black men even spoke out.

"Jet Lee is the most awesome kung fu superstar in the world!!! Chinese kung fu is awesome, I want to go to China to learn kung fu and become a kung fu master. I have already signed up to go to Shaolin Temple on Mount Song. Everyone wait for my good news. When I return successfully, I will definitely become the number one kung fu superstar in Hollywood."

Shen Fang, standing to the side, almost peed his pants laughing. Going to the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song to learn martial arts? This kid must be out of his mind. He'd probably get swindled out of his underwear if he went.

"Senior brother, how is it? Look at everyone's enthusiasm, they all have high praise for you."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Let's wait for today's box office statistics to come out before we talk about it."

The group returned to the hotel.

8 p.m., hotel restaurant.

"Zhang, the current attendance rate has reached 50%, and the audience has given it positive reviews. It seems that you should be able to achieve very good results this time."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "We still need Universal Pictures' help."

"Chen, our PR team has already started releasing press releases to film critics, print media, online media, and TV stations. They will all be distributing information about the film's success tonight. All that's left is to wait for word-of-mouth to spread."

Shen Fang nodded, raised his glass, and said, "Let's drink to that! Wishing Hero great success!!!"

Just as everyone raised their glasses, Shen Fang's phone rang.

Shen Fang gave everyone an apologetic look and answered the phone.

"Hello? Sister Lifang. What's up?"

"Mr. Shen, our Hero has grossed 238 million HKD in 14 days. Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea have also sent in their statistics since the film's opening. Japan took the top spot at the box office, as did South Korea and Hong Kong. The film has also performed very well in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and other regions. The total box office has reached approximately 320 million HKD."

Shen Fang laughed loudly: "Good, very good. Sister Lifang is keeping a close eye on things. Go and share our good news directly on the internet and in the media. Have President Han contact more TV media. Since it's already a hit, let's add more bombshells to ignite the passion. We've already won this battle, so let's win it thoroughly and beautifully, setting a high standard for our domestic films."

"No problem, Mr. Shen. Leave it to me."
