Sometimes Xu Chuan doesn't quite understand where his trouble-attracting physique comes from.
He was very sure that he had never had any trouble with this tooth fairy.
So, where does the hatred in his eyes come from?
Young Master Xu thought for a while, but he really couldn't figure it out.
I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch...
It's not me that's wrong, it's the world.
The premiere was held at the Paris Theater in Manhattan, which is the oldest existing movie theater in New York with only one auditorium and more than 500 seats.
Marion Chapman, Xu Chuan's Hollywood executive, is responsible for the film's distribution in North America.
Of course, they still can't get rid of Hollywood distribution companies.
The scale of the premiere was not large. Although there was a red carpet, in addition to the actors, producers and some celebrities who came to support it, there were also fans, media and film critics.
What Xu Chuan didn't expect was that Allen would come to the scene.
"Hey bro, any surprises?"
This guy hugged Xu Chuan warmly.
"Isn't it your family's tradition to go on vacation to Switzerland for Christmas?"
"Compared to a boring vacation, I would rather come here. Hey, I invested in this movie."
Xu Chuan clasped his fists, OK, you are the investor, you are the biggest.
This was the first time for Xu Chuan to meet the actors of this movie.
The most interesting thing about this movie is that there is no heroine, and even John Wick's wife only exists in the memory of the other person, without even showing her face.
So this role was played by Sheila in a cameo, only two or three scenes, and she didn’t even get any money.
Now the people entering the venue one by one are all wealthy men, many of whom are wearing suits and have beards.
If it weren't for the media and movie fans outside, it would be like a meeting with a bunch of gangsters.
"Isn't that woman Sheila here?"
Allen looked at the celebrities who came to support him and asked with some confusion, "This woman should not miss this occasion."
"Her flight was delayed. She said she would arrive in the morning."
Xu Chuan said without paying much attention.
Allen raised his eyebrows, "Brother, I have to remind you that I also flew here from Los Angeles."
Xu Chuan asked, "So?"
Allen shrugged, "You know..."
Of course Xu Chuan understood what the other party meant, but for Xue La, it was not just a matter of trust or distrust, but that he actually knew all the whereabouts of this woman.
Although the opponent's bodyguard Brian Mills is not from Umbrella, his team has received many high-value contracts through Umbrella.
In addition, the woman's mobile phone is completely customized, so Xu Chuan can know Xila's location at any time as long as he wants.
The reason why Sheila's "flight was delayed" this time was actually because her parents arrived in Los Angeles.
As for what made her so panicked, it was because her parents wanted to see Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan understood what Xue La was worried about. In fact, she really thought too much.
It is impossible for Mr. and Mrs. Rycek Valentin to fall out with him, because as early as a year ago, Umbrella took control of the other party's financial services company that almost went bankrupt through investment channels.
Well, that is to say, Xu Chuan can kick Mr. Valentine off the board of directors anytime and anywhere.
It is absolutely impossible for a bloody idol drama plot to happen.
When the premiere was about to begin, Sierra's black business car parked at the entrance of the theater.
Xu Chuan walked over and opened the car door. Xue La, dressed in a black dress, was sitting there.
She looked at him in surprise, "Dear, why haven't you gone in yet?"
Xu Chuan stretched out his hand, "Of course I'm waiting for you."
"Sorry, I'm late."
Xue La stretched out her hand to hold hands with the other person and got out of the car.
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, "It's not too late, the time is just right."
The two walked hand in hand on the red carpet, facing the flashlights of the media, Sheila showed a very professional smile.
"Honey, I'm sorry..."
After entering the theater, Sheila's face fell.
Xu Chuan stopped and looked at the other party in confusion, "What's wrong?"
The woman was visibly nervous, "My parents came to New York, and they said they wanted to meet you."
Xu Chuan pretended to be stunned for a moment, "You should have told me in advance..."
"I know, but..."
Xu Chuan interrupted her, and then said half-jokingly, "If you tell me in advance, I can pick you up at the airport. What if they are unhappy and let their daughter break up with me?"
This sentence is like pouring a bucket of water on dry land.
Sheila felt relieved, her eyes seemed to be filled with moisture.
"Honey……"
"Okay, let's go in first, and then you tell me what their preferences are and how I can please them."
Xu Chuan took the other person's hand and walked to the screening room, and Xue La was pulled in by him.
Everyone saw the two of them, and everyone they knew stood up and whistled to them.
There is nothing much to say about the process of the premiere. According to the normal process, it consists of opening speeches, movie screening, media interviews, and interaction between the creative team and fans.
It's basically the same all over the world.
The opening speech was made by Marian Chapman. Ever since the company began to pay attention to film and television production, this old guy's face was glowing and he seemed to have found his life goal.
He is really good at project management.
Xu Chuan introduced Zhou Hao, and the most important thing was to let the people from UC Media learn the best project management process.
Hollywood's industrialized film and television production is inseparable from scientific project management.
However, most of the crew management in China is still based on the family workshop model, and UC Media still has a lot to learn.
What Xu Chuan is doing now is to steal, lie, and then lie on Hollywood's body to suck blood and learn all these things.
John Wick is just the beginning, there will be more co-production projects next year for these people to learn from.
After that, those projects on the UC platform can be used for these people to practice.
This is not just a film and television drama, but actually more of a cultural export, fighting for the right to speak.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is still a big gap between China and Hollywood, but the other party's development speed has dropped significantly. As long as they start to catch up, they can always catch up.
Xu Chuan did not believe that a civilization with five thousand years of history could lose to a country with no history in terms of cultural output.
Of course, during this process, the chains around the necks of dogs raised in the West must be tightened.
It doesn't matter, anyway, Xu Chuan is better at this than learning project management.
"Does your father drink? I asked Allen to find some bottles of good wine. Does your mother like those luxury goods? I contacted Miranda from RUNWAY magazine to have tea with her. That old woman owes me a favor."
When the movie was showing, Xu Chuan whispered to Xue La beside him.
When Xu Chuan wants to please his elders, he can really do it to the extreme.
Sheila's heart was filled with emotion now. She was worried all the way, what if the other party heard the news and refused directly.
What if he takes the opportunity to break up with me?
But now listening to the other party's nagging voice, Sheila couldn't even hear the huge gunshots in the movie clearly.
She held Xu Chuan's arm and rested her head on his shoulder before falling into a deep sleep.
Her schedule has been almost non-stop these days, and she even sleeps on the plane. Coupled with the mental stress of the day, she can no longer support it.
Xu Chuan glanced down, reached out and pushed the other person's hair behind his ears, turned his head and started watching this familiar yet unfamiliar movie.
He didn't change the plot too much, the big framework didn't change, but some details will be linked with Gao Wen's In My Name.
Foreign audiences won't think anything of it, but Chinese audiences who are familiar with the show will definitely be surprised.
The biggest difference between this film and other films of the same type is one word: cool.
The story is actually very cliché. It actually gives the protagonist a reason to go on a killing spree. If you want my life, I will kill your whole family.
However, it is different from other action arrangements, including close-range quick-reaction shooting, Mozambique, C.A.R.S, and various locking skills in Bajou.
These dazzling action designs are choreographed together, as well as a large number of long shots, and the whole film is extremely pretentious.
Coupled with a variety of modified guns, American movie fans are hooked.
When the lights came on and everyone was clapping, Xu Chuan knew that this popcorn movie was basically a success.
Sheila was woken up by the applause, and her face that had just woken up was full of confusion about where I am and who I am.
After that came the communication with the creative team, especially the leading actors.
This John Wick looks younger than Keanu Reeves, but his fame in the United States is actually not that great. The 18th line is a bit exaggerated, but it is definitely not the first line.
But, it's cheap.
He was telling reporters some interesting things during filming, such as how the director and action director ravaged him on the set.
The atmosphere at the scene was very good, and some paid film critics planned to give this film a high score.
It is a very well-executed gun thriller, a typical popcorn movie. The action choreography is very novel and it uses more long shots. It is much more realistic than the previous action movies that used a lot of fast editing.
There is also this novel killer worldview, Continental Hotel, there is a lot of content that can be explored, and there will definitely be a second part.
"I want to go to the range with my pistol right now."
A film critic took the microphone and said, causing everyone to laugh and resonate.
Of course, the media could not let Xu Chuan go. He could only say a few words while holding the microphone.
"This is actually a spin-off of a Chinese TV series. I had already begun to build the world view of the Continental Hotel in that script."
It's just nonsense, no one will check whether it is true or not.
And when he said this, of course some people will be curious about that TV series, and some people will definitely go to the UC platform to watch it.
They have prepared versions in various languages.
After the premiere, the atmosphere was very warm, and then it was released simultaneously around the world.
These creative teams have no time to spare. They will immediately go to China to promote, then the book, and then Europe.
After Xu Chuan read the reviews from various film critics, he no longer cared about this matter.
I called Zhou Hao, who was awake and watching the premiere.
"I've said it before, this film is very complete, so you don't have to worry too much."
Let the other party feel at ease and ask him to keep an eye on domestic publicity.
Speaking of box office, he really doesn't dare to predict the box office in Europe and North America, but in China, this is definitely a movie that can reach over one billion.
One billion may be conservative, and next year will definitely be a box office blowout year for Chinese movies.
The world of killers in the Continental Hotel can still be explored. While preparing for the second John Wick movie next year, he plans to make a Chinese version of an action movie called Wolf Warrior.
The question now becomes, if there are Hollywood movies taking the lead, how will they criticize Chinese movies of the same type and worldview?
Xu Chuan was really curious about this question.
After rejecting the creative team's invitation to have a party, Xu Chuan took Sheila into the car and called Marion Chapman before leaving.
"Let people look at these guys and never allow them to use contraband before going to China."
It would be so embarrassing if someone was refused entry. Throwing people into the Atlantic Ocean and reclaiming the sea might not quell Xu Chuan's anger.
"BOSS, don't worry, I will speak with the contract."
Hollywood has a whole set of methods to restrict actors. Especially during the promotion stage, there must be no problems, otherwise you will be waiting for a lawsuit, and you may really lose money and go bankrupt.
That's good. Xu Chuan felt relieved and asked Fiennes to drive to the hotel where Sheila's parents were staying.
This woman, Xuela, was very smart and arranged her people in the Four Seasons Garden. After all, this is Xu Chuan's territory. If any problems arise, they will not be spread outside.
"BOSS, we didn't follow that guy before."
Fiennes turned around and reported the previous situation to Xu Chuan.
"That bastard abandoned his car and ran away in Central Park, and our people didn't follow him."
Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows, what kind of mutant could actually get away from the tracking of several leopards.
"The guy ran really fast, and he climbed up a five-story building with his bare hands. We were worried that shooting would attract the police, so we had to let him run away."
"It's not a big problem. Let's check the car, but I think it's the Tooth Fairy."
Xu Chuan felt that there was nothing wrong with that glance.
Now that he has appeared, he will definitely not be able to escape the tracking of surveillance equipment, and his whereabouts will be revealed sooner or later.
But why this guy followed me is really an unsolved mystery.
"What are you talking about, the Tooth Fairy? Isn't that the serial killer in the newspaper?"
Sheila asked curiously.
Xu Chuan nodded, "Yeah, that's it. My people seem to have found some clues. Maybe they can solve the case in a few days."
"Really?"
Sheila's adoring eyes can easily make men feel a sense of satisfaction.
Manhattan is really not that big, so they arrived at the hotel within two intersections.
Xu Chuan took the gift he asked Allen to help prepare, and Xila helped him tidy up his clothes in the elevator.
In order to attend the premiere, he specially wore a formal suit, but he didn't expect it to be the right one.
The elevator door opened on the second floor, and a man wearing waiter's clothes walked in. This man had a very distinctive appearance and a cleft on his lip.
