Chapter 469: The Siege of October Begins
At this time in the capital.
In the most luxurious Fuding Shengda Restaurant.
"Don't worry, we will definitely provide you with top-notch treatment this time. The pre-sale tickets are already sold out to an incredible degree."
Wang Chen spoke to the person next to him in a slightly respectful and serious manner.
"Mr. Wang, you don't have to talk to me in this way. We are friends, so just treat each other normally."
Next to Wang Chen is a girl with big wavy blonde hair and blue eyes, a subordinate manager of the Russo brothers from Hollywood.
The Avengers, Marvel's main creation.
If Hollywood is the ceiling, then the Russo brothers from Marvel are the pinnacle of the business world.
Even if the person is just one of his assistants, Wang Chen has to be careful in dealing with him.
Of course, this does not mean that they do not attach importance to this aspect. On the contrary, this is already an attitude of great importance. The Russo brothers at Marvel really have no time to spare for the overseas promotion of Marvel Studios, which is also a very important matter.
I am too busy and can only ask my personal assistant to observe things in the Greater Chinese Market.
"All the preparatory work is ready, including the release date, offline promotion and marketing, everything is done well."
Wang Chen spoke of this period's box office champion as a matter of course.
It's the Avengers, no one else, the double champion of word-of-mouth and box office. This is a matter of course, a self-evident truth.
"Is there any Chinese-language movie you can recommend?" During the casual chat, this Marvel staff member with big wavy blonde hair named Joe Mary actually said that she wanted to watch a Chinese-language movie.
This made Wang Chen feel troubled. Could it be that he had eaten too many delicacies from land and sea and wanted to eat some wild boar bran?
Frankly speaking, Wang Chen really can’t recommend any Chinese-language movies. After all, these things don’t even qualify to be eliminated by Hollywood.
Just as Wang Chen shook his head.
Qiao Mary suddenly said.
"Last time I heard, DC's Dark Knight encountered a little trouble here?"
The Dark Knight, DC's trump card at the time, has gained a very good reputation around the world.
And the box office results.
Of course, this does not mean that the box office in China is not good enough. The box office here is good enough. The gold content of the global box office champion is not covered, and it is definitely not vegetarian. And because of this, the global certified box office champion and word-of-mouth king, China is naturally no exception. Some minor public opinions will not affect the changes in the overall situation. This is the most basic thing.
But one thing is a little unexpected, or should be a little unexpected.
This small group of public opinions caught Marvel's attention, which was something very interesting.
That is. A director named Li Yun seems to have redefined the feeling of a superhero.
It aroused some interest among Joe Marie and the Russell brothers.
Unexpectedly, even Wang Chen couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen.
Wang Chen said after hesitating for a moment.
"That director named Li Yun's schedule does conflict with ours this time, if you're interested..."
Since this foreigner is interested in eating some bran.
Then let him have a bite.
In such a strong schedule, this year's top players will naturally not come out to compete head-on with the Avengers, and they decisively put "The Grandmaster" in December.
I wouldn't be stupid enough to go head-to-head with Marvel.
Everyone will be the victim this time.
If possible, Chen Kexin didn't want to go head-to-head with Marvel, but Xie Qingya felt that if he didn't even have the courage to fight, how could he catch up? Of course, the main reason was that he had already been blocked.
Whether it is Xie Qingya, who is determined to make this work, she needs to make people in Huaying feel confident, and being timid before the battle itself is not a confident behavior.
No, she needs strong self-confidence this time, whether it is the self-confidence for her to show within Huaying or to outsiders.
All of them forced her to come in here.
What's the point of being afraid? If there's no way to avoid it, then let's fight! What's there to be afraid of? ? On the eve of the broadcast, Xie Qingya asked Li Yun.
"Are you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of? If I don't have this little confidence, how can I dare to speak so arrogantly?" Li Yun said lightly. Facing Xie Qingya's call, he was not afraid at all.
If Marvel can grab the box office, my sword of October Siege will not be at a disadvantage either!
"That's right. You're directing and acting in this film yourself, and you're almost halfway done with it. How could you not have confidence?"
And if you have to say so, even Li Yun participated in most of the changes to the script. It can be said that many places have nothing to do with Chen Kexin. It is completely Li Yun's own script.
Even Chen Kexin admitted that, to some extent, this movie was written, directed and acted by herself.
"By the way, let's add a self-singing song." Li Yun joked.
Xie Qingya was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"No way."
From the beginning, Xie Qingya knew that Li Yun participated in the arrangement of the theme song, which had caused quite a stir on the Internet. However, when she heard Li Yun say that the theme song was actually sung by you guys!
Xie Qingya said subconsciously.
"Our crew isn't that poor, right?"
To the point where the director has to take action himself.
Li Yun did not comment on this and just smiled slightly.
Of course, the soundtrack can only be used as a point of complaint, and the real test lies in the quality of the movie.
The quality of the movie is what matters.
"See you at the cinema in two days. I look forward to your masterpiece."
"Sure." Li Yun said jokingly, "If my work can make some achievements this time, will there be any extra rewards?"
Extra reward? When Xie Qingya heard this, she had a rare feeling of wandering thoughts. An emotion that had never appeared in the past years appeared in her mind.
The appearance of this emotion made her face red . Is this what he meant?
Emotions that had been stagnant for a long time appeared at this moment, from this queen of the entertainment industry who came from a noble family. However, what Li Yun was thinking about was how to ask her for resources at this time.
And she must be willing to contribute her resources.
Let the results speak for themselves.
At this moment, in the villa area in the center of Beijing.
Even in 2000, houses here would cost tens of millions, let alone now, where each house may cost hundreds of millions, and it is not necessarily possible to buy one.
It is Liu Xixi's home, or rather, the home of her mother and adoptive father.
Liu Qianqian does not have any sense of belonging here. It can only be said that it is a place to live. The place where she feels a sense of belonging is actually the apartment of less than 80 square meters. In fact, she feels more at home there.
There is another place.
Liu Qianqian also blushed a little at this time. There was actually another place that made her feel a sense of belonging, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Lili looked at her daughter. She was wearing a light blue dress and a slight frown. She looked very beautiful even with light makeup. This is how she can be described as naturally beautiful.
Liu Lili is proud of herself as a beauty, but it is her daughter who has truly inherited all her beauty. However, beauty is not necessarily a gift in any era, but in this family, it is a complete gift.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Liu Lili once felt so arrogant that no one was worthy of her daughter, and she was sincerely proud of her daughter.
But now there is a man who has broken into her world.
For Liu Lili, from the initial resistance, to less resistance, and now... there is an idea that Liu Lili dare not admit, and that idea is curiosity, the curiosity about this lecher who has contacted her daughter.
His talent.
His works.
Now it can arouse her curiosity and make her want to peek, just like this time's schedule. Obviously, in the past, she would definitely choose to watch The Avengers, the trump card of Marvel Studios at this stage.
But at this time, she had a different feeling that she could give it a try.
"mom?"
Liu Qianqian looked at her mother in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. She just pondered for a while.
"Wait me a moment."
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the same place as you."
This premiere was quite lively. After all, "The Siege of the City in October" has an all-star lineup, with many celebrities and big names participating in the performance.
"I heard you sang the last song! I haven't heard you sing yet." Liang Jiahui looked at Li Yun with a curious look on his face: "Are you going to be like our Jacky Cheung, the God of Songs, and become the best actor among singers."
"You flatter me with this." Jacky Cheung smiled slightly.
Of course, there was a slight curiosity in his brows.
Back then, these superstars were basically proficient in singing, dancing and acting. In this era, there are no such artists anymore.
Basically, they specialize in one thing instead of choosing the so-called multi-pronged development. Generally speaking, if they choose to have everything, the end result is that they lose everything.
This is an obvious truth.
In this day and age, no one does this anymore. Chen Kexin next to him looked a little depressed. He didn't think anything was a big deal about music.
I can only comfort myself that this is not a decisive factor.
It doesn't have much positive correlation with the quality of the film itself. In addition, there are many special guests at this premiere.
The most beautiful ones among them were the three flowers, who made Li Yuchun and even Fan Bingbing feel ashamed of themselves.
Xie Qingya was wearing a noble professional women's suit. Her height was close to 1.80 meters when she wore high heels. Her mature charm with big wavy hair and narrow and long phoenix eyes gave her a peculiar charm, especially the wisdom in her eyes, that kind of wisdom. It was an element that many people did not possess.
Liu Qianqian on the other side is completely different from Xie Qingya. She is very beautiful with a little makeup and has a tall figure, but she has a sense of otherworldliness.
Liu Lili is not much inferior to Liu Xixi, with delicate features. Although there are some traces of time on her face, she has a more mature charm than Liu Xixi. The most important thing is that all the actors present know that she has the resources of Hollywood in her hands. She is definitely not just a vase beauty. She has the "power" that is feared by others.
After entering the venue, these three people can basically be said to be the most beautiful among all the girls . "So beautiful."
Nearby, reporters from various media outlets sighed with emotion, and found the three beauties in front of them very pleasing to the eyes.
No matter how good the movie is, at least the beauties present are enough to enjoy. Li Yun was a little surprised that an unexpected person came to the premiere this time, that is, Liu Xixi's mother. "Brother Li, I brought my mother here without permission, it should be okay, right?" Liu Xixi said timidly.
"Of course you are welcome. There are plenty of empty seats here." Li Yun nodded slightly and said, "Aunt Liu, if you are here to appreciate the works, then I warmly welcome you."
at this time.
Li Yun's words were somewhat indifferent.
While many people have a sense of awe, Li Yun does not have this attitude.
Liu Lili also felt this and she knew it too.
Li Yun never had the feeling of trying to please others. This equal attitude made Liu Lili feel very interesting. "Director Li, please come in. I hope your movie will not disappoint me and make me feel that it is a waste to come here specially."
"Aunt Liu, are you a normal person?"
"Of course I am a normal person." Faced with this kind of question, Liu Lili was a little unhappy. Who could be abnormal?
Li Yun showed his big white teeth and said with a smile.
“As long as you are a normal person with a normal level of appreciation, my movies are good movies and my works are good works.”
Strong self-confidence flows around Li Yun Liu Lili was silent for a moment, but also sat down. On the other side, Liu Qianqian and Xie Qingya made eye contact. Xie Qingya smiled slightly: "Nice to meet you. My name is Xie Qingya. I am the first-level person in charge of Huaying's internal investment. I am a member of the Xie family in Beijing."
"Liu Qianqian, Li Ge's friend, an actress!"
Liu Qianqian smiled and said, "And this is not the first time we meet. We met when we were on the set of The Three-Body Problem."
Now it was Xie Qingya's turn to be embarrassed. She didn't expect Liu Qianqian to introduce herself like this.
"Sister, let's watch a movie today! I believe in Brother Li's work." Liu Qianqian sat down carelessly.
Innocence? Flawless? Xie Qingya didn't know how to describe the girl in front of her.
But at least one thing is certain, she is definitely not weak. Under the look in her eyes, there is a kind of strong persistence.
"Yes, this time we came here for Mr. Li's movie." Xie Qingya smiled and sat next to Liu Qianqian.
Turn off the lights.
The big screen of the movie lights up, and "The Siege of the City in October" officially begins. (End of this chapter)
