Chapter 213
As a globally-watched film series, it has become a tradition to hold a press conference to introduce the actors and scripts before filming begins, and this time is no exception.
It’s just that every movie’s press conference used to be held in North America, and people in China had to set their alarms to watch it. This year’s press conference is held in China, and the fans are very happy. You fans in North America and Europe will also have this day.
The live broadcast time of the press conference was announced several days in advance. Knowing that "Star Wars" and Chu Huaiqin had a large amount of traffic, the platform that hosted the press conference made preparations early. Starting at 8 o'clock in the morning, the live broadcast room was open for people to come in.
"So excited, I got up at six, hahahaha, I'm the first one."
"Oh my god, the press conference is at 10 a.m., and I still have to wait two hours. I really want to get in through the internet cable and grab Anthony and my brother into the live studio."
"Two hours is a long time. How about I go out and have breakfast and come back?"
"I suggest you don't. You'll be crying if you can get out later. If you can't get in, just watch."
It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and the number of people online had already reached millions, many of whom were logged in from abroad.
"God, it's early here!"
"Pfft, early morning, hahahaha, now you know how painful it was for us to chase the press conferences for the first five films!"
In addition to English, other foreign languages were also heard in the live broadcast room. Besides lamenting how painful it was to get up in the middle of the night, people were asking when it would start.
Although it was still early for the press conference, the number of people online was increasing rapidly, making the live broadcast room lively. However, the platform's backend technicians were panicked. From 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock, the number of people online had reached 50 million. With still an hour left, you can imagine how terrifying the situation would be.
The technician hugged the server and sobbed, "My dear, you have to hold on. If you collapse, I will have to go home and eat myself."
The high-traffic live broadcast room also made many official media release it as news. Many people sighed that the traffic of "Survival in the Wild" plus "Star Wars" is invincible. So far, which star in the world has such a great appeal?
Chu Huaiqin, God’s favorite!
As the time slowly approached ten o'clock, the leading actors had not appeared yet, but the audience in the live broadcast room became nervous.
"Nervous, nervous! There's a rumor online about the sixth film being about the founding president. Is that true? Please answer me."
"In fact, most people now guess that the sixth film will be about the original president. My brother has also received a lot of support from fans of the original novel. I think Anthony will not miss this opportunity."
"The most popular part at the moment is the one about rescuing 100,000 people. It has the strongest storyline. If we really want to film it, this should be the part."
"What I said before is right. This and the part where the Genesis President dies are the core of the whole movie. Both Anthony and the fans have been talking about it for too long."
"The host is out."
The host appeared, and the invited audience screamed. The camera panned to the live audience, and the person who appeared made the live audience jealous. Why couldn't they get a ticket? Or maybe someone they knew would be helpful. If you don't believe me, look at the little monk and Xia Entropy sitting below. They must have been brought in by their brother. VIP seats! Too much.
The audience in the live broadcast room envied the scene, but there were also people outside the live broadcast room who envied them!
"Fuck! Who pushed me out? I was clearly in just now."
"Ahhh, it crashed. Why can't I get in? Server, you bastard."
"I should have come earlier. Who knew this server was like the director of the academic affairs office? Those who are late were punished by being stood at the school gate and not allowed to enter."
At this time, the live broadcast officially started, and the number of viewers reached its peak, 90 million, which was really eye-catching.
The host comes out and greets the audience on site and the audience in the live broadcast room.
Audience: “Hello, host, hello everyone.”
Audience in the live broadcast room: "It's not good at all. I'm so afraid of being squeezed out. Can latecomers please not come in? I'm so annoyed by you. You squeezed me out. I'll never let you go."
Host: "Now, please welcome the director and actors of "Star Wars" to the stage."
"Anthony, Anthony..."
"Chu Huaiqin, Chu Huaiqin^..."
The scene was filled with these two voices, not because the scene was full of their fans, but because currently only these two people were known to be attending this press conference, and the rest of the list had not yet been announced! However, when everyone saw Wade walking in behind Anthony and Allen Chu, they went completely crazy.
“Ahhh…”
"Marshal-in-Chief, Marshal-in-Chief."
Vader, who plays the Grand Marshal, is a mixed-race Chinese-American with features that combine the depth of a Westerner with the refinement and mystery of an Easterner. There are currently five "Star Wars" series, two of which feature him as the protagonist: one as the second-generation president, Caesar; one as Marshal Ace; and another about Zhao Tie, captain of the Noah III, a member of the Federation's Zhao Family Army.
Veidt played the leading role in two of these five films, so you can imagine his popularity.
"It's the sixth year. I asked again, the Chief Marshal has come out, but where is the President of Creation?"
"No, didn't you see Su Huaichen? How come he is also among the leading actors?"
"Fuck, there's Andre from the Maozi team. Who does he play? Andre?"
"Speaking of the scene where Andre had the most scenes, wasn't it the one where he rescued 100,000 people?"
"The truth is out."
"Hello everyone, I'm Anthony. I'm very happy to meet you again as the director of 'Star Wars: Age of Ultron,'" Anthony said, holding the microphone. "I'm very lucky this year to have my best actor. Can you guess who it is?"
"Chu Huaiqin!" When the audience heard Anthony's words "Best Actor", their hearts beat wildly. It must be this, it must be this.
"Hello everyone, I am Chu Huaiqin." Chu Huaiqin waved to everyone gracefully while holding the microphone.
Anthony: "Since everyone has guessed it, let me ask another question. Guess which Chu Huaiqin is the best protagonist in my mind?"
"President of Genesis!"
The deafening sound echoed in the press conference room, but although it was loud, the audience was very nervous and stared at Anthony, waiting for his answer.
"That's right, it's my best protagonist, the President of Creation." Anidon was also very happy and raised his hands high, causing enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
The people in the live broadcast room were also dumbfounded, and they were laughing so hard!
"Hahaha, really, God, the Jade Emperor, and Sun Wukong are really the Presidents of Creation."
"Ahhh, I'm going to go out and run a couple of laps. If I don't let it out, I'm going to explode."
"I've already cried. The Marshal has waited for five years, which is equivalent to waiting for his founding president."
"Although I had a premonition, I didn't expect it to be true. Happiness came too suddenly. Let me howl a little!"
“Oh my god, I didn’t expect the story of the Genesis President would start filming this year.”
The live broadcast room was filled with excited roars. The names of the two characters, "President of Creation" and "Marshal-in-Chief", were roared out by the audience. The live broadcast room was also filled with these two names. Everyone was as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
The media who had been waiting in the live broadcast room immediately turned around and issued a press release. In an instant, all the "Star Wars" fans were celebrating. After waiting for so many years, they finally got to film their favorite scene of the founding president.
The press conference also announced other actors. Su Huaichen actually played the technician Xia Jiangyang, and Andre really played the general Andre. The sixth part of "Star Wars" was about the rescue of 100,000 people.
"The Federation's most painful memory began there."
Someone commented on this paragraph like this.
The press conference lasted two hours. Besides introducing the actors and the script, it also consisted of interaction with the audience. It officially ended at midnight, and Anthony and the others returned to the hotel to pack up and join the crew. Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang had already packed their belongings. After the press conference, they returned with their belongings and got into the car Xia Huang had sent. They headed to the filming location, but before that, they had to pick up Su Huaichen.
"Qingqing, what do you think," Xia En paused and continued, "can I be an actor?"
Xia Entropy thought that whether it was at the press conference or on the Internet, the President of Genesis appeared with a chief marshal. He got angry when he saw Wade's face.
"Why do you suddenly want to be an actor?" Chu Huaiqin was reading a script. When he heard Xia En's words, he looked up and saw that his face was wrinkled. No one knew what he was struggling with.
Xia En was at a loss for words when asked by Chu Huaiqin. After a moment's hesitation, he said awkwardly, "I just think acting is fun."
Chu Huaiqin's eyes did not leave Xia En's face. Seeing that he was rubbing his phone, he turned his head and saw the picture that fans had photoshopped together him and Wade.
"It's just acting, don't take it seriously." Chu Huaiqin tapped Xia En's head with the script, telling him not to think too much, and turned his gaze back to the script.
Xia Entang sighed inwardly, picked up his phone, registered a secondary Weibo account, and among the many comments like "What a match, what a match!" under the photoshopped picture, he added, "Not at all. Wade is so ugly."
"Ahh, how dare you call Vader ugly? You are the clown hiding behind the screen!"
"You have strawberries on your face! No wonder you're jealous."
Xia Entropy: "I'm not ugly."
CP fans: "Ugly people never say they are ugly."
Xia En gritted his teeth in anger and turned to look at Chu Huaiqin, "Brother, am I ugly?"
Chu Huaiqin replied without even looking up: "Not ugly, very handsome."
Xia Entropy continued to reply to the CP fans: "My brother said I'm not ugly."
CP fans: "You look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and your brother also said you look like an angel!"
"Your brother is so pitiful. It must be tiring to comfort you every day."
“Haha, even if you say Wade is ugly, I’m not yours. I’ll piss you off.”
Xia Entropy: "He is mine."
CP fans: "He is not."
Xia Entropy: "I'll prove it to you."
Xia En was so angry that he was about to explode. He sat close to Chu Huaiqin, raised his cell phone, and leaned his head on Chu Huaiqin's shoulder.
“Crack!”
The perfect photo is completed.
"What's wrong?" Chu Huaiqin looked up.
"No!" Xia Entang shook his head and sat further away so Chu Huaiqin wouldn't see what he was doing. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chu Huaiqin lower his head and continue reading the script.
Xia Entang posted the photo on his Weibo account, with the caption: "Mine."
Xia Entropy fans: "Ahhh, candy is being distributed, this is candy!"
"Brother, are you reading the script? You look so serious. Your profile is so beautiful. So handsome."
"Xia Entropy, stop doing this, or I'll go against the CP."
Chu Huaiqin's fans: "Brother, I won't explain."
"I'm obviously my brother's only fan, so why am I looking for him on Xia Entropy's Weibo?"
Chu Wei CP fans: "Why do I feel this Weibo post is so subtle?"
The author has something to say: Thank you for your concern. For now, I'm focusing on finishing this month's medication. If it doesn't work, I'll go to a third hospital for a checkup. Going to bed early will be my best option, and I'll adjust slowly.
