Chapter 404 Premiere of 'Fast Pursuit'
"John Wick" still had a simple premiere. After all, it was not a big production. It only cost 30 million U.S. dollars. If it still had a large-scale premiere, how would those films with production costs of hundreds of millions of dollars survive?
?
You still have to give others a way to survive.
Cutting off people's wealth and slapping people in the face will be resisted by colleagues. It may not be enough to achieve success, but it can be enough to fail.
"John Wick" doesn't have any important supporting roles. Even Perkins, played by Angeli, is just a small role.
Everything makes way for the protagonist.
North America will be screened first, Europe will be one day later, and Asia will be one day later. In this way, Wu Long can use the premiere of "John Wick" to hold a fan gathering, which can pave the way for the global screening of "Terminator".
Luoshanji, fans who arrived early were surprised when they saw rock instruments being played at the venue.
By the way, Brother Long hasn’t sung for a long time. Regardless of the soundtrack, Chinese songs or English songs, it seems that Brother Long’s singing was a long time ago and very far away.
"Brother Long is going to sing at today's premiere?"
"Oh my god, I came to see Brother Long's premiere today. I really made a lot of money!"
"I'll call someone right away!"
Take photos and post them online.
It is said that Wu Long did not plan to hold the premiere. It was Lion Pictures who persuaded Wu Long, saying that many fans wanted to hear Wu Long's lion roar, so why not give everyone a lion roar at the premiere to let everyone know that Wu Long was there?
Feizhou's video was not deceptive, so Wu Long agreed to hold the premiere.
Of course, this statement came from Lion Pictures. This can improve the reputation of Lion Pictures. Only taking Wu Long’s 20% commission, Lion Pictures has to use Wu Long to make money for itself.
Point of reputation.
As a result, Wu Long silently wanted to sing at the premiere. Wu Long's fans and fans, who had no prior knowledge, suddenly felt extremely happy. Audiences who had originally planned to arrive at the normal time came in advance.
When the executives of Weiner Pictures saw it, they felt very unhappy.
Fortunately, there are different voices speaking out against Wu Long on the Internet, which makes them feel a little more comfortable.
"Wu Lung never sang at the premiere, which shows how terrible "John Wick" was, with a production cost of only 30 million US dollars. Even Wu Lung was not sure. He was worried about the dismal box office, so he used live singing to make up for it."
""John Wick" is still a killer movie. This is Wu Lung's third killer movie. With thirty million dollars, what kind of tricks can you make? Gun fighting? Can you dance with a gun?"
"Strictly speaking, Wu Lung's movies are basically killer movies. "Shaolin Bodyguard" is also a killer movie, but Wu Lung is not a killer. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is actually a killer movie, and the blue-eyed fox is the killer. "Sha Po Lang"
"There are also killers. Wu Long has such a special liking for killers, it is difficult to say that Wu Long has no relationship with the killers."
"I heard that gun fighting is adding shooting to Chinese Kung Fu. It's hard to imagine that you have to put on a Chinese Kung Fu look when shooting. It's not beautiful, let alone real. "John Wick" was not a hit at the box office
Take a good look."
Wu Long is not a god, there will definitely be people who will criticize him and laugh at him. Even if no one instructs him, there will be people who do it.
Some are jealous of fans of other celebrities, and some are just jealous of Wu Long.
In any case, Cui Yang, Dong Chen, Zhang Ying, Chu Jian and others who accompanied Wu Long this time felt that their lives were worth living.
Before they met Wu Long again, they never thought that their lives would have such colorful and memorable experiences.
Countdown to the start of the premiere.
At the crowded scene, more police and staff had to be temporarily added to maintain order because more people came than expected.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
As everyone's countdown echoed through the night sky, Cui Yang and the others who were already preparing on the stage couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
You must not embarrass Wu Long!
When they received Wu Long's invitation, they decided to participate. They practiced for a long time, not only not to embarrass Wu Long, but also to avoid embarrassing Chinese musicians!
When the countdown ends, the band plays music.
"battle without honor or humanity"!
BGM of the classic scene in "Kill Bill"!
All the audience at the scene were excited, and their shoulders moved in time with the rhythm of the music, simulating walking postures. So many people shook their shoulders like this, which actually made the audience feel inexplicably happy.
It's more fun than dancing in a nightclub!
This kind of action paired with this BGM will become wildly popular on the Internet starting tonight.
At this time, Angeli appeared in a Perkins costume. Her expression imitated that of Ishii Yuren, but she had her own flavor. She had been a model, adding the model's temperament and charm, and she also matched Ishii Yuren
There is a difference.
When she glanced at the audience, the audience felt how sharp Angeli was as a killer. She was afraid that if she got upset, she would throw out a shot and the bullet would come around and kill them.
Angelique appeared, and after a lap around the venue, Wu Long appeared in the BGM.
His appearance brought greater momentum.
It was as if there was a kind of coercion radiating from the stage to the surroundings, pressing on the audience.
Anyone who touches Wu Long's eyes will give rise to a feeling of wanting to kneel on one knee to express surrender.
The king has arrived!
After the bgm ended, Wu Long lost his momentum and the pressure on the scene disappeared without a trace. The audience suddenly no longer felt like they were carrying a heavy burden.
Wow!
applaud!
"Welcome to the premiere of "John Wick". I am Wu Long and I love you!"
The audience responded with loud cheers.
"Long, I love you too!"
"I love you, Kung Fu King!"
"Let me introduce to you the band member, guitarist Chu Jian!"
Wu Long came to Chu Jianjian, and Chu Jian played a solo. Wu Long followed the melody, shaking his head and making guitar-playing gestures.
After introducing Chu Jian, Wu Long came to Dong Chen.
"Our bass player, Dong Chen!"
Dong Chen also played some bass improvisation.
Wu Long nodded and swayed aside, playing the bass guitar.
Then, he came to Cui Yang.
"Our keyboard player, Cui Yang!"
Cui Yang played a quick improvisation.
Finally, Wu Long came to Zhang Ying.
"As the saying goes, the good show comes last, and the important people come out last. Finally, I would like to introduce to you Zhang Ying, the beautiful drummer of the band!"
Zhang Ying came to add flowers to the previous paragraph.
Every time someone is introduced, the audience gives them respectful applause.
Wu Long continued to speak: "Originally, I did not plan to hold the premiere of "John Wick" because there is nothing good about "John Wick" and it is full of killing skills!"
When he said these words, the audience immediately burst into laughter.
Live broadcast and online audiences also responded one after another.
"Killing skills!"
"Gun fighting is a killing technique!"
"It looks like "John Wick" is very interesting!"
"The kung fu in "Kill Bill" is normal, and the bullet bending in "Assassin's League" is ridiculous. It depends on whether the gun fighting skills in "John Wick" are real killing skills."
Wu Long continued to speak:
"Lion Pictures was anxious when they heard that I would not hold the premiere. In order to convince me, they used the roar of a lion to persuade me. They said that someone online questioned whether the video of me scaring a real lion with a roar in the Philippines was fake.
, I should roar like a lion at the scene to let the fans who defend me know that they are not wrong and that the lion's roar is real."
"So, tonight's premiere is very simple, just roar like a lion. Then sing the theme song of "John Wick" and the premiere will be over. It won't take up everyone's time to watch the movie."
The audience shouted:
"No, we want to be delayed by you!"
“We want to see the premiere show!”
"Long, you have to perform forever and ever, and it can't be too simple."
Just when everyone was shouting happily, Wu Long suddenly opened his mouth wide and shouted:
"Stop arguing!"
This voice is the voice of the landlady in "Kung Fu". It was Wu Long who took the role of the landlady, imitated the landlady's voice using the Nine-tone Scripture, and then used the lion's roar technique to make the sound.
For a time, Wu Long's voice overwhelmed all the sounds at the scene and reached the ears of every audience member. The closer he got to Wu Long, the louder the sound became, making his eardrums buzz.
Fortunately, Wu Long's mouth was directed towards the sky and not towards the audience.
When Wu Long's voice disappeared, the scene became quiet.
Everyone was shocked by Wu Long's voice and froze on the spot.
The audience watching the live broadcast online also did not speak at this time. Then, they rushed to speak.
"Oh my god, I almost thought the speaker was going to explode!"
"Is this a lion's roar?"
"I hope my speakers aren't broken."
"No, this is a lion's roar!"
"This is the charter woman's Lion's Roar Technique! Tian Can Di Que came to the Pig Cage Walled City to kill people and play the piano. The charter woman couldn't stand it and used the Lion's Roar Technique to stop her."
"Yes, that's what the charter woman shouted at that time!"
The audience at the scene also broke out in an even more enthusiastic manner after a brief period of silence.
Wow!
Applause, screams, and cheers all mixed together.
"This is the voice of the charterer!"
"Oh my God, Brother Long can speak with the voice of a charterer!"
"Is this a lion's roar?"
"Did the lion just hear these words and be so frightened that he sat on the ground?"
After the audience's voices became quieter, Wu Long explained:
"Just now, I used the charterer's lion's roar skill. The lion's roar skill and the lion's roar are the same thing. The lion's roar skill allows you to speak loudly, while the lion's roar is just a roar, and the sound is like a lion."
"Of course, the effect of my lion's roar just now was made so loud with the help of amplifiers and speakers. In fact, without this microphone, the sound would not be so loud when it reaches a distance.
"
"To put it more clearly, a lion's roar means a loud voice. Except for those like me who have undergone special training, there are also normal people who are born with loud voices, and their shouts are also like a lion's roar."
"Next, I roared a lion without using a microphone. However, only the audience close to the stage could feel the power of this lion's roar. Then I roared a lion's roar again with a microphone, so that the audience far away could feel it."
"Pay attention, I'll start on the count of one, two, and three."
Wu Long took off the microphone and handed it to the staff, and then started counting.
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
"Ouch——"
Wu Long took on the role of the Lion King and let out a lion's roar.
The audience in the front row suddenly felt like Wu Long, standing on the stage and roaring at them.
This roar carried the threat of a beast.
Some viewers quickly covered their ears, while others were so frightened that they wanted to retreat.
The camera of the live broadcast was shooting directly in front of Wu Long. Audiences watching the live broadcast online found that Wu Long seemed to have turned into a male lion, roaring at them outside the screen, trying to jump out of the screen and bite them.
"Oh my god, it's so scary!"
"Oumai, the dragon seems to have transformed into a lion and is about to pounce on me and bite me!"
"I was so scared that I fell off my chair!"
"I was so scared that I threw the Coke out!"
"I threw the donut at the screen!"
The audience near the stage was excited.
"Ah, it really looks like a lion roaring!"
"Wu Long is a lion!"
"My ears are going to be deafened!"
"I almost thought there was a big lion!"
Wu Long took the microphone back to the staff and put it back on.
"Next, I roar into the microphone so that everyone in the audience can feel it, okay?"
The audience shouted: "Okay!"
"Let's count one, two, three!"
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
The audience followed Wu Long in unison and counted.
After counting "three", Wu Long roared like a lion again.
"Ouch——"
This time, the lion's roar spread throughout the audience, and many audience members covered their ears, while some were also so frightened that they wanted to retreat.
The lion's roar drowned out all sounds, and when it disappeared, there was brief silence again.
Wu Long made a gesture to the band behind him when the audience was about to resume the excitement.
The voice sounded.
"it is my life".
It's like the prelude to the hoarse effect, as if a lion is coming towards the crowd with its teeth bared.
"this ain't a song for the broken-hearted."
(Chinese: Isn’t this a song for sad people?.)
At this time, Wu Long, who was singing, was like a lion that had experienced many vicissitudes of life. He was licking his wounds and telling everyone.
The strong sense of rhythm made the audience sway to the rhythm.
"no silent prayer for the faith-departed."
(There is no silent prayer for those who have lost their faith.)
Then, this vicissitudes of life lion gave the audience a look that none of you understood, turned around and walked slowly along the edge of the stage, like a lion patrolling his territory.
?“i ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd.
(I don’t want to be just one of the others?.)
?you're gonna hear my voice.
(Will you hear my voice?.)
?when i shout it out aloud."
(When I shout it out loud?.)
At this point, Wu Long suddenly made a gesture of pulling out a gun. In fact, everyone could see that Wu Long had nothing in his hand, just empty air.
If there really is one, it is a transparent gun that is invisible to everyone.
?"it's my life."
(This is my life.)
Wu Long is loading the invisible gun.
?"it's now or never."
(Seize the moment, the opportunity is fleeting)
Wu Long held the gun in a C.A.R.S. style, as if looking for a target.
?"i ain't gonna live forever."
(I won’t live forever?.)
Wu Long pretended to shoot.
?"i just want to live while i'm alive."
(I just want to live seriously while I am alive.)
Wu Long does the action of changing the magazine.
Band chorus: "it's my life."
?"my heart is like an open highway."
(My heart is like a highway?.)
Wu Long performed a sliding shovel followed by a sweeping kick, performing the moves in the movie.
?"like frankie said.
(Like Frankie said?.)
?i did it my way."
(I go my own way.)
Wu Long made attack movements, followed by central axis re-locking system (c.a.r.s) shooting movements.
?"i just wanna live while i'm alive."
(I just want to live seriously while I am alive.)
Wu Long changed the magazine.
?"it's my life."
(This is my life.)
Wu Long loaded the invisible gun, held it in a C.A.R.S. style, and searched for targets in the audience below.
Wow!
All the audience at the scene were shocked by this hot and explosive rock song. It seemed that this was not a premiere performance, but a rock scene!
Some people roared along, while others were impressed by Wu Long's handsome gun-holding movements.
Chapter completed!
