Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

But now that the two movies are released at the same time, it is equivalent to the time of one movie, which is absolutely beneficial to them, so everyone is happy to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight.

Since Xiao Yunhai was no longer a shareholder of the North American theater chain, the "Lord of the Rings" movie was arranged to be screened at Yanhuang Cinema.

Because it is a typical big Hollywood movie, with a large number of actors and actresses, unlike "Battle of the Red Cliff", which has no foundation, Xiao Yunhai held a grand premiere ceremony, inviting many Hollywood superstars, film critics, filmmakers, etc. People come to watch.

The same is true for Paramount. The two sides have already been fighting in full swing during the promotion, and now that it is about to be officially released, of course, the momentum cannot be weakened.

At [-]:[-] p.m., "The Lord of the Rings" and "Action Hurricane" premiered in theaters in Europe and America at the same time.

Xiao Yunhai had watched "The Lord of the Rings" a long time ago, so his mind was not on the movie, but on the reaction of the fans.

At the beginning of the movie, when the vast Middle-earth world appeared in front of the audience, everyone exclaimed.

"It's so handsome."

"Is this the Middle-earth world in the "Lord of the Rings" novel? Awesome."

"What a beautiful place. It would be great if I could live here."

A five-star film critic wrote in his notebook: "Beautiful on the inside, extremely well-crafted."

Next, elves, humans, dwarves, bit people and other major races appeared around a ring, feasting the eyes of movie fans.

At the Paramount Theater, "Action Hurricane" was also being shown. Hanks sat in an ordinary movie theater and wanted to see the audience's reaction.

Unfortunately, he is doomed to be disappointed tonight, because fans don't seem to buy "Action Hurricane".

"Oh my god, I knew I shouldn't watch "Operation Hurricane". It's always handsome and beautiful, and it's always a fight with nothing new. Can you stop being so stereotyped?"

"Typical Hollywood popcorn movie, I fell asleep watching it."

"12 billion US dollars is shot like this, what is Paramount doing?"

"It's nothing special, except for the sex scene between the hero and the heroine, which made my blood boil, I'm really not interested in anything else."

The fans' voices felt like needles pricking Hanks' ears, and the anger in his chest was like a volcano, as if it could erupt at any time.

His face was livid, his hands couldn't help but clenched tightly, and his joints were turning white.

In fact, "Action Hurricane" should be regarded as a wonderful and exciting movie, but the problem is that it did not bring much surprise to movie fans, and it is far from the expectations of movie fans.

In the entertainment industry, it is not a good thing to promote movies excessively, because it will raise everyone's expectations. Once there is a deviation, fans will feel that they have been deceived, and the original [-]-point movie may also become angry from embarrassment They scored [-] points.

"How could this be? Don't they understand movies? Such a popular action movie even uses planes, tanks, and warships, and they say it's not good."

While Hanks was furious, he suddenly felt exhausted physically and mentally. He felt that his understanding of movies was far from that of movie fans, which filled him with helplessness...and panic.

Because he thought of the "Resident Evil", if the good movie he watched was not good in the eyes of fans, wouldn't the 200 billion US dollars be lost to Xiao Yunhai?

Thinking of the serious consequences of this incident, cold sweat broke out on Hanks' back.

It doesn't matter if Xiao Yunhai loses, because it's all his own money and he doesn't need to explain it to anyone.But Hanks is different. Once he loses, it will be miserable, even if he is David.Stahl's illegitimate son will also receive the most severe punishment.

The loss of 170 billion US dollars last time has aroused strong dissatisfaction among other shareholders. If they lose another 200 billion this time, the result will be. ． ．Hanks shuddered when he thought about it, and at the same time he felt deeply regretful that he shouldn't be an enemy of Xiao Yunhai.

An hour into the movie, Hanks quietly left the theater, he really couldn't stand the fans' abuse.

Fortunately, there weren't too many moviegoers in the premiere theater, otherwise the director and actors might have got cold feet.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the two movies ended almost at the same time.

In the Paramount Theater, when the director and actors of "Action Hurricane" lined up and bowed to everyone, the applause also rang out, but it was obvious that everyone was just perfunctory out of politeness.

This made the director and the actors very embarrassed, and after saying a few words of thanks in a hurry, they all left.

On the contrary, in Yanhuang Cinema, as soon as the "Lord of the Rings" movie ended, thunderous applause and shouts erupted at the scene.

"Awesome. The film is just perfect."

"Bi Kewen is indeed a great director of magic, I thought I had entered another world."

An editor-in-chief of a film magazine said: "With the help of Xiao's magic special effects company, Bi Kewen is really at home. This is the best movie he has made, bar none."

"I heard that Bi Kewen has withdrawn from the 21st World Fox Film Company and directly joined Xiao's Marvel Comics. Now it seems that he should have made a very correct decision."

"Look forward to the second Lord of the Rings coming soon."

After sending everyone away, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said to Bi Kewen: "It seems that our movie has succeeded."

Bi Kewen nodded, and said gratefully to Xiao Yunhai: "Xiao, thank you. Without your full support in terms of funds and special effects, I would never have been able to make this movie with such an effect."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "Don't say anything polite, you are making money for me. It's getting late, let's go, let's go to Huaxia as soon as possible, hoping to catch up with the Yanjing premiere."

Chapter 1031 Released in China

The time difference between Yanjing and Los Angeles is [-] hours, so the premiere there is still [-] hours away.

It was also fortunate that Xiao Yunhai bought a private jet, which shortened the original fifteen or sixteen hours including boarding to nine hours, which made Xiao Yunhai very satisfied.

At [-]:[-] p.m., at the entrance of the Yanjing New China Cinema, the long red carpet has already been rolled out to the side of the road. The reporters on both sides have already taken their positions in their own areas. As soon as the stars show up, there will be a violent storm immediately.

In the distance are hundreds of fans with excited faces, holding glow sticks and billboards, and having a lively discussion there.

The premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" in Europe and the United States has spread to China. The box office of 1.58 million US dollars and the overwhelming reputation have made all Chinese movie fans look forward to it.

Rotten Tomatoes gave "Lord of the Rings" an unprecedented high score of 9.17 points, breaking almost all records.

The unlucky action blockbuster "Hurricane Action" only scored 7.45 points on Rotten Tomatoes. Normally, this score is considered very good, but compared with "Lord of the Rings", it is undoubtedly far behind.The box office was even more disastrous, with only US$300 million in Europe and America.

Not only "Hurricane Action", all the movies that night were impacted by "Lord of the Rings", and the box office dropped to varying degrees.

For the Xinhua Cinemas that introduced "The Lord of the Rings", this is of course good news. Not only did it carry out crazy publicity on the Internet, but it also increased the number of screens from 500 yuan to 5000 yuan.

No matter whether it is inside or outside the circle, everyone knows that a blockbuster movie that is popular all over the world is about to appear, and its goal is very likely to be the top of the movie box office rankings.

At the entrance of the theater, Jiang Chengdong, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looked at his watch, frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. Xiao, where are they?"

There are still two hours before the premiere, but neither Xiao Yunhai nor the film's main creative team has arrived, which makes Jiang Chengdong feel a little anxious.

For the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings", Jiang Chengdong attached great importance to it, and invited many superstars in the circle to participate in the name of New China Cinemas.

According to the routine, the main creators walk the red carpet first, and then it is the turn of the guests who come to the premiere.

If Xiao Yunhai and the main creators of "The Lord of the Rings" didn't show up, it would be a big trouble.

The deputy manager next to him said: "Ten minutes ago, Mr. Xiao called and said that he would arrive in less than 10 minutes. Now it should be... Hey, look over there, they should be here."

As soon as the words fell, three consecutive luxury cars drove slowly from a distance and stopped in front of the red carpet.
