In the history of Chinese film, the New Year's Day in 1996 is destined to become an indelible symbol. On this day, Chinese movie fans and various magazines know what global influence is!
In the past, Chinese filmmakers could only look up to Hollywood movies, even if they didn't want to admit it, but the fact is that in today's global film industry, it is Hollywood movies that truly occupy a dominant position!
At this time, while domestic filmmakers are still complacent about the tens of millions in box office their films have received, Hollywood films have begun to conquer the global film market.
Using the simplest set of data comparisons, we can see the gap between the domestic film industry and the North American film industry at this time!
Last year, the domestic film with the highest domestic box office was Chen Peisi's film, with a box office of 73 million. Wu Jianye, known as China's number one director, had the highest box office in China with "Eternal Night 2" released last year, with a box office of 198 million.
!
This is RMB!
Then we look at the North American box office charts last year. Because Wu Jianye released the movie "Toy Story" in advance, the box office champion in North America last year was Warner's "Batman Forever" with a box office of 184 million!
This is US dollars!
If the factor of Wu Jianye is removed, the domestic box office contribution at this time cannot even be seen in North America. Even though Wu Jianye has built many theaters across the country, this gap still exists.
This cannot be caught up overnight, but fortunately, Chinese-language films have been making progress!
So at this time, the country still admires Hollywood stars very much, and it always feels like they exist in another dimension!
They are a group of species that can only be observed from a distance!
It is precisely because of this that when people from the previous two crews of "The Last Days" and "Jurassic Park" appeared, the reporters and fans at the scene were so excited.
But after thinking about it later, I accepted it. After all, the two films directed by Wu Jianye had such great global influence, which directly established Wu Jianye's status as the world's top director.
Especially the movie "Jurassic Park" is still at the top of the global movie box office rankings!
They came to attend Wu Jianye's movie premiere. Although it was a bit unbelievable, it was still within the acceptable range!
But when everyone thought that the premiere ceremony should be over after the people in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry walked on the red carpet, that magical Tesla appeared at the entrance of the red carpet again!
Everyone was looking forward to it, thinking that it would be another big shot from Hong Kong or China's film industry who would appear.
A short but very muscular foreigner walked out of the car!
"Stallone..." The reporters at the scene were completely confused. Not only the reporters at the scene, but also the fans at the scene. No one expected that Stallone would appear at the scene!
This is the world's top action star!
Movie series such as "First Blood" and "Rocky" are very influential in China. Especially as the top action star in Hollywood, Stallone is highly regarded by domestic fans. No one expected that he would
See it in person today!
After a brief period of calm, an astonishing scream immediately erupted.
Stallone walked alone on the red carpet, wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath, and unbuttoned one of the top buttons to match his strong figure, if his height is not considered
, just like a walking model!
"Stallone! Stallone! Stallone!"
Accompanied by strong cheers, Stallone came to Wu Jianye's side and said with a smile: "Director Wu, you promised me this time that you will take me to visit Yanjing!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Of course, after watching the movie, I will show you some Chinese food!"
"Then we've made a deal!" After saying that, Stallone accepted the interview with Zhao Xiaoyan.
Zhao Xiaoyan did not ask too many questions during the interview, but simply asked two questions. It was not that she did not want to ask more questions, but because the characters who appeared next made her unable to despise them either!
In Hollywood in the 1980s and 1990s, although there were many action superstars, only one and a half could actually reach Stallone's level!
Arnold Schwarzenegger counts as one, Bruce Willis counts as half!
When the two appeared on the red carpet at the same time, you can imagine the sensation they caused!
The reporters at the scene looked at each other, the shock clearly visible on their faces!
"As for that?"
"As for that?"
"As for that?"
Everyone has one thought in their minds at this time, that is, it is the premiere ceremony of a movie. Is Wu Jianye playing such a big role?
In the past, almost all domestic and Xiangjiang stars came to the scene, and now Hollywood superstars have begun to attend. Let alone domestic movies, a premiere of this scale has never been of this scale. I believe that even a Hollywood movie premiere has never been of this scale.
?
After having this doubt, many reporters with extremely high news acumen thought of another thing, that is, how could Wu Jianye find so many superstars to support his movie premiere?
Is it just because Wu Jianye directed two top-grossing movies in Hollywood?
Obviously, such a status cannot really invite so many celebrities!
So why does Wu Jianye do it?
These questions will definitely linger in their minds for a long time, but at this time, they obviously don't have time to think about them, because the stars appearing now are also a very popular on-screen couple in China!
Among the Hollywood movies introduced to China in the past two years, there is the movie "Speed", and the leading actors in the movie, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, are the two most familiar with Hollywood movie stars in China.
So when they walked on the red carpet, everyone could only scream when they should and take pictures when they should!
I believe that after today, many fans at the scene will definitely become hoarse, but at this time, they don't care about this at all, they just want to vent their emotions to their heart's content!
"Director Wu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. The last time you came to Los Angeles, I didn't know until you left!" Keanu Reeves said with a smile.
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "I knew you were filming a movie at that time, so I didn't bother you!"
Sandra Bullock laughed and said: "Director Wu, I was not making a movie at that time!"
Wu Jianye said: "Don't worry, you should be busy next. Phantom has a movie this year and you need to be the starring role!"
The smile on Sandra Bullock's face became even more obvious: "Then I'd like to thank Director Wu first!"
"Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise!"
Before Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock entered the theater, Tom Cruise had already got out of the Tesla and started walking the red carpet.
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock accepted Zhao Xiaoyan's two questions with smiles on their faces and walked into the theater!
Tom Cruise's "Top Gun" was not released in China, but last year's "Mission: Impossible" was released in China. In the film, Tom Cruise is omnipotent in heaven and earth, letting the audience know that Iraq
Senhunt, the North American agent...
"Director Wu, I haven't thanked you properly for what happened before. I already know that it was you who appointed me to star in the movie "Mission: Impossible"!" When Tom Cruise saw Wu Jianye,
He also had a smile on his face. As for the earlier conflicts between the two parties...
Spielberg has given up, so what else can he not let go of?
Besides, does anyone dare to go against Phantom Media at this time?
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "This movie will continue as a series, Tom, I hope our cooperation can continue!"
Tom Cruise smiled and said: "What an honor!"
Neither of them discussed the contract. It was a direct negotiation between Tom Cruise's agent and Phantom Pictures!
Reporters and movie fans are all looking forward to who will step out of the car next. At this time, they are already numb in excitement. When domestic and foreign superstars appear in front of them one by one, that kind of excitement
An unreal feeling came to my mind.
I always thought it was all fake, how could it be possible?
How could there be so many awesome people?
But when everyone walks across the red carpet, they can see them clearly, walking right in front of their eyes. Even if it is unreal, they have to believe that it is all true!
Reality couldn’t be more real!
Nicolas Cage also walked on the red carpet. At this time, Cage was not the king of bad movies in later generations, but a real box office superstar. In fact, even in later generations, Nicolas Cage became the queen of bad movies.
The fact that he can still make money in China with bad movies shows how popular he is in China!
Will Smith, who is still a bit young, also walked on the red carpet. The release of "Bad Boys" made this black actor gain a lot of fans in China.
"Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, Feitian Awards, Music Awards, Academy Awards, Oscars! Director Wu is going to gather a lineup for various awards at home and abroad!" A reporter outside the red carpet murmured to himself, at this time
He no longer knew who he was talking to, he just couldn't help but mutter.
The people next to him also heard him talking to himself, and they didn't know whether they were responding to him or thinking about these things themselves like him.
"Today I have seen what a big scene is. I guess even if China Film Group personally appears, it won't be able to invite so many stars to appear at the same time!"
"Impossible, impossible..." A reporter shook his head subconsciously.
The time is getting closer and closer to 8:30, and everyone knows that this shocking premiere ceremony is about to end, but the more this time comes, the more everyone wants to know who will be on the red carpet.
Appear last!
When Michael Jackson appeared on the red carpet, the atmosphere reached its peak. As the world's top music star, Michael Jackson's influence is not limited to the music circle. Even in China, Michael Jackson also has countless
Fans!
At this time, what else can everyone do except scream!
Michael Jackson and Wu Jianye said: "Wu, we have agreed this time that you must attend my concert in Los Angeles next year!"
Wu Jianye did not refuse this time, and promised with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely appear at your concert next year!"
"Haha, it's settled!" Michael Jackson said very happily.
Michael Jackson has invited Wu Jianye to attend his concerts since the 1980s, but Wu Jianye has never been able to attend due to various reasons. Now that Wu Jianye is ready to rest, he will naturally have a lot of time in the future.
, there is no problem in attending a Michael Jackson concert!
After Michael Jackson walked into the theater, the red carpet show welcomed its last two guests!
Spielberg and Lucas!
In fact, when these two people walked on the red carpet, the sensation they caused was not as big as before. After all, as directors, their impressions in the hearts of movie fans were far less impressive than those of actors, so people who knew them did not
not much!
But the reporters on the scene were different. Even though China's ties with Europe and the United States are not that close now, they still know about Spielberg and Lucas, especially Spielberg who has also been to China!
Therefore, the reporter's craziness and the fans' ignorance formed a sharp contrast.
However, at this time, Zhao Xiaoyan played her role as the host very well, and the fans present knew the identities of these two men from her voice.
When they found out that these two were actually the two top directors in North America, even though they were still so crazy without the movie stars appearing, the shock in their hearts was the same!
Wu Jianye even invited the most awesome directors!
This premiere really comes at the right time!
For many years to come, this premiere ceremony will be a topic of bragging among their friends!
However, when future generations of melon-eaters saw this video, they felt a trace of regret in their hearts, because they did not see James Cameron in the video. If James Cameron also came, it would really be
It's perfect!
There's nothing we can do about it. James Cameron is currently busy filming "Titanic" and is too busy to come over. Because of this, he personally called Wu Jianye to explain!
As for Wu Jianye, he also expressed his understanding for James Cameron's absence and asked James Cameron to film "Titanic" seriously!
At the same time, as the male lead in "Titanic" directed by James Cameron, DiCaprio also called Wu Jianye to express his apologies. He couldn't even get over to James Cameron, let alone Xiao Li.
Plums...
Wu Jianye, who had already laughed away their grudges, shook hands with Spielberg and Lucas and exchanged greetings. The two expressed their desire to see what Wu Jianye said was a great film as soon as possible.
Finally, Wu Jianye, Spielberg, and Lucas walked into the theater hand in hand!
At this point, the premiere of "Inception" that will cause a sensation all over the world tomorrow is over!
