Movie tycoon

Chapter 801 World Premiere
Newly built the Oscar Studios Cinema under Moying Entertainment, located in the most prosperous Kowloon Bay in Hong Kong, this movie theater was originally the largest movie theater under Debao, with the highest grade. It can accommodate 200 people at a time. There are three floors in total. However, there are fifty VIP rooms on the third floor, with luxurious facilities and complete conditions. Such a star theater would be a luxurious movie theater even in the United States.

Since Chen Xiaotang negotiated with the wealthy Pan Dickson two years ago and successfully acquired Debao, the theater has also expanded again. In order to turn it into a film and television city that matches the magic shadow film company, Chen Xiaotang waved his hand at that time and spent a lot of money. 300 million Hong Kong dollars, bought all the land around the movie theater, and then built it. As a result, the movie theater has become a super-large movie theater with five floors and nearly [-] seats. The premiere location for Shadow Film Entertainment.

After a few days of hasty editing, "Havoc in Heaven", a blockbuster movie that has been hyped wildly by hundreds of very influential companies all over the world and has attracted more than a billion people around the world, after producing enough copies, it will be released at [-] o'clock tonight. Zhong, finally in the anticipation of the crowd, is about to start igniting the world premiere.

As a fan of Hong Kong movies, Gu Tianle, who has just joined Moying Entertainment as a handyman, was lucky to get three movie tickets this time, so he invited Hua Gu and A Duo to watch it together.

When they arrived at the entrance of the theater, they got out of the car with great difficulty. Looking at the dense crowd around the Star Cinema, the three of them could not help but take a breath, "Now I finally know how high the population density of Hong Kong is! Gu Tianle sighed road.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, let's think of a way, how to squeeze in!" A Duo couldn't suppress his excitement, and said with a trembling voice: "This is a super blockbuster film that A Tang spent a lot of money to produce. Ah! Not to mention Hong Kong, even in Hollywood, this kind of money burning is unique, if I am not the first to see it, I am afraid I will regret it in the future!"

Hua Gu also kept nodding her head, and said, "That's right, this is the first film directed by Ah Tang after his comeback; besides, this is also an epoch-making super blockbuster in Hong Kong. If we Hong Kong people can't seize the opportunity If you are the first one to see it, it will be unforgivable! Come on, hurry up and squeeze in, we will enter the arena soon!"

Gu Tian smiled happily: "A Duo, Hua Gu, don't worry, as long as we have tickets, are we afraid that we won't be able to see the show? But this time "Havoc in Heaven" premiered simultaneously worldwide, but no trial screening was arranged. Worry for the boss!" As a wage earner, Gu Tianle is very conscious of sharing his worries with the Lord.

"Hey, that's right!" A Duo continued: "Regardless of New Art City or Golden Harvest, every time their movie is released, they will have a trial screening at the midnight show first, and then see the effect of the premiere. If the result of the trial screening is not good , they would choose to seal it up, but this time the phantom movie did not do so! "Havoc in Heaven" was released once, could it be that Chen Xiaotang, he..."

"Hey... I said, are you finished?" Hua Gu looked at the time and said, "What's this called? It's called self-confidence. It's not like you don't know that any product produced by a phantom must be a boutique! Besides, as long as Yes, although Tang Zai has not been working in my place for a long time, I am very aware of his personality, down-to-earth, hard work, and never do things that are not sure. Just like this drama this time, I believe he must have full strength Otherwise, we wouldn’t be holding a simultaneous global premiere.” After a pause, he continued: “Okay, okay, hurry up, look, even the reporters are starting to line up.”

The premiere this time is definitely considered as grand as a festival in Hong Kong. All the famous media from all over the world are basically mobilized and come here one after another.

As a well-known figure in Hong Kong, Chen Xiaotang's premiere ceremony of course also attracted many celebrities and politicians at home and abroad. Big directors and stars from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan came to congratulate, such as Huang Baiming, Ditai Robin, Xu Ke, Gao Zhisen, Fa Ge, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Sam Hui, Chen Baiqiang, Anita Mui, etc. Besides, some entertainment bigwigs also came forward to congratulate, including Shao Yifu representing Shaw Brothers, Lei Juekun representing New Art City, Zou Wenhuai representing Golden Harvest, and emerging films Dickson Poon, a rising star in the industry, although he sold Debao Cinemas to Moying, with the support of Moying, he obtained the right to develop overseas film ports. It can be said that he has officially stepped out of Hong Kong Island and faced the world...

Although this kind of occasion is always a star show off, but as a strong man in Hong Kong, many Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and mainland officials also gave Chen Xiaotang enough face and sent a very grand team to attend the premiere ceremony.

In Hong Kong, Governor David Wilson, his wife, the Secretary for Police, and the Chief Secretary for Administration accompanied the event; top leaders in Macau and senior Portuguese officials also came to congratulate and watch the ceremony; Taiwan was active in the blue-green camp The future president, Bian, came to congratulate him with his precious daughter; the mainland sent representatives from the Xinhua News Agency, and the chairman of the Rong Group, which is rooted in Hong Kong, to observe.

It can be said that this premiere surpassed all the previous scenes, so that seeing these multi-star celebrities appearing together like walking on a red carpet, the media reporters screamed excitedly.

But before they finished shouting, they suddenly discovered that the real big names were more than that, because the next big names were the shockers!
Look, the appearance of the French national treasure actor Alain Delon set off waves in the audience. Our Mr. Zorro is as fit as before, waving to his friends in Hong Kong constantly; followed by the famous British comedian Rowan Atkinson, the Mr. Bean who created "Bean" this year, made everyone laugh when he appeared on the stage. He said a word to the crowd, "I am BEN, and I love Lafite!" The result was amazing. It is conceivable that there is no one who does not laugh so hard that his stomach hurts.In addition to these two great people, there are also Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, who came from the United States to support Chen Xiaotang. They accompanied the old "Godfather" Marlon Brando on the Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong. It makes people wonder whether this is Hollywood in Hong Kong, or Hollywood in the United States? !
But everyone knows right away that there are more stars here than Hollywood!

When Michael Jackson, the king of American pop, and Madonna, the queen, their presence immediately caused a burst of screams.

Yes, a scream, a loud scream!Make everyone crazy and fascinated by it.

At the same time, as the host of the premiere, Chen Xiaotang also arrived in a special car.

Eight o'clock, not more than one second, not less than one second, Chen Xiaotang with a bearded Lucas, executive assistant director Fatty Wang Jing, actors Liu Xiaolingtong, Zhao Yazhi, Fa Ge, and Guo Fucheng and all the main members of the crew We stepped on the specially laid red carpet together, and the moment he got off the car, the light from the camera was almost more dazzling than the sun in June, making people close their eyes involuntarily.Chen Xiaotang is fine, because he has long been used to all this.

"Welcome everyone to join us here. On behalf of the crew of "Havoc in Heaven", I would like to thank you for coming!" Chen Xiaotang, who was dressed in a white trench coat, was indescribably elegant, and Zhao Yazhi, who was half leaning on him, was also dressed beautifully and charmingly. , not at all like a woman who is nearly 30 years old, but more like a girl in her teens.At this moment, the reporters finally understood why "Beauty Weekly" used the words "Oriental Chang'e" and "Tongyan Angel" to evaluate her, and listed her on the cover this time!

"Pa la pa la..." At this moment, there was no need for anyone to take the lead, everyone spontaneously puffed up their palms, and Chen Xiaotang's "fans" even spared no effort to shout wildly: "Tang Zai, I love you!  … ...A Tang, I adore you to death!..."

Facing all this, Chen Xiaotang just responded with an elegant smile, and nodded slightly to express his acceptance, really indescribably chic.

And Zhao Yazhi has been fighting Xiangjiang for so many years, so naturally her "fans" are inevitable, no, how can they hold back when they see women screaming at Chen Xiaotang?So he also shouted: "Zhizhi, I love you, you are the girl of my dreams!"

"Azhi, I like you!"

"Zhao Yazhi, you are so beautiful!"

……

As they kept shouting, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help approaching Chen Xiaotang more proudly, which seemed to say, look, how popular your woman is, why don't you love her a little more? !

Chen Xiaotang didn't have time to care about these things, he was busy dealing with fans while hugging and greeting Michael Jackson and others.

"Thank you for coming, Mike!"

"Heh, it's a movie you directed, why should I come to congratulate you?"

"Madonna, you are still as beautiful as ever!"

"Your mouth is still as sweet as before, but I love to hear this sentence!"

"Mr. Brando, how is it? How does it feel to come to Hong Kong?"

"Oh my God, the fans here are so enthusiastic!"

……

"I think we should go in first, there will be a press conference later, everyone, don't let these media down!" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile.

Everyone looked back, and sure enough, they saw hundreds of reporters taking pictures of themselves, and all of them had "nameplates" on their chests. Walking in front were those big names in the media industry, such as Agence France-Presse, Reuters, and " The Times, The New York Times….

"It seems that Lafite Chen's movie is really popular, almost all the media from all over the world have been attracted!" Everyone sighed inwardly.

Here Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando and others, under the leadership of fat man Wang Jing, walked towards the venue first, while Chen Xiaotang had a brief conversation with other people.

At this moment, "Boss Chen, congratulations!" A familiar voice came from behind Chen Xiaotang. Looking back, it was the Golden Harvest leadership headed by Zou Wenhuai.Then, Zou Wenhuai, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming from New Art City also bowed their hands to congratulate him with smiles.

What surprised Chen Xiaotang the most was that Daheng Shao of the Shao family also appeared in front of him. Chen Xiaotang hurried forward to help him, but Daheng Shao waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not that old yet."

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly: "That's natural, your old man is getting stronger and stronger, the more you live, the younger you are."

"Hehe, I love to hear these words. Not to mention anything else, I can prolong my life just by practicing qigong. Also, many of you young people are not as energetic as me. Now I have to watch three movies at night to sleep Got it!"

"But compared with before, it's no good. I used to watch hundreds of movies a day without blinking." Shao Daheng said with emotion, "Also, I can't compare with you. I used to be You dominate Xiangjiang, now you not only dominate Xiangjiang, but also dominate the world film industry, and you have also won the Oscar winner, and you are only short of the best director in Cannes!"

Chen Xiaotang didn't expect Shao Daheng to be so respectful to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little hot. After all, the road he walked was basically relying on foresight. Of course, there was also his own hard work and struggle, but generally speaking, Chen Xiaotang still felt suspected of cheating.

After chatting with Shao Daheng and others for a while, Chen Xiaotang enthusiastically arranged for the staff to take them to the middle of the arena, which was reserved for the employees of the Magic Shadow Film Company, and he himself and Lucas , Fatty Wang Jing, Fa Ge and others also sat down.

Ticket sales are fast. After all, there is not only one ticket office. In order to welcome today's grand event, ten temporary ticket windows have been added. Each window has less than 3 tickets, and they are sold out in less than [-] minutes. How can it be so fast?
At [-]:[-], when all the seats were full and everyone was quiet, Chen Xiaotang stood up from the crowd with a smile, and at this moment, a beam of light enveloped him from above his head In it, everyone with normal vision can see him, and in his hand is the microphone handed over by the staff.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their great love for the Magic Shadow Film Company, and thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and support us!" Chen Xiaotang bowed slightly, and then continued amid applause: "I said a long time ago However, film is an art, and it needs the attention of many people to develop better." Chen Xiaotang looked at the reporters, and then said: "It seems that everyone's support is still enough, hehe, it is With your publicity and the support of fans, we film workers will not be afraid of hardships and dangers, and produce more and better-looking films to dedicate to you.”

Looking at the thoughtful everyone, Chen Xiaotang smiled and said: "Okay, I am very grateful to all the guests for coming to join us today, why not let them say a few words for everyone!"

Chen Xiaotang handed the microphone directly to Marlon Brando beside him, and our eternal godfather stood up and said with a smile: "I came all the way from the United States for no other reason than to watch this movie directed by Lafite. I have read the fantasy novel "Journey to the West", but it is an adapted cartoon. There is no way, God, what a person I am who doesn't like reading! This drama will definitely be great, not for anything else, because the story of this drama itself is very exciting, so let us look forward to it!"

After Marlon Brando finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Mike Jackson who was beside him, and Mike said with a smile, "Look, I'm good at singing, not speaking, but I still want to say something in Chinese—Tang Zai, I'm sorry." you!"

Next, a group of guests made short speeches. The whole venue was extremely lively. It didn’t look like a film premiere, but rather like an Oscar awards ceremony. Everyone talked about their feelings and opinions, and the whole atmosphere seemed extremely hot .

We waited until the last guest finished speaking, and more than half an hour had passed by this time. Logically, the premiere should have started long ago, but everyone was not in a hurry, because they were all attracted by the words of these guests.According to the words of an audience member, among other things, the speeches made by these guests one by one are worth the ticket price.Think about it, even if you have money, you may not be able to meet so many big names!
However, Chen Xiaotang himself did not want to see the premiere of his movie become indirectly a star-studded speech class, so after everyone expressed their congratulations, he got up and said: "Okay, let's get down to business, the press conference three days ago Now, I have let everyone watch the clip, and now I won’t say much else, let’s continue watching the movie.” After speaking, he returned the microphone to the staff around him, clapped his hands, followed With his applause, all the lights in the theater were turned off, Chen Xiaotang also sat down, and began to enjoy the magical blockbuster he directed.

Since ancient times, magic movies have been hailed as the representative of high-tech film festivals, because if you want to express a world different from human beings, you must use some computer special effects and other technologies.For example, the future acclaimed "Lord of the Rings" series, as well as the "Mummy" series, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, etc. It can be said that these movies are masterpieces of magical themes.And these works are invariably produced by major Hollywood cast members, and none of them belong to Hong Kong. Even Japan, which considers itself to be a developed country in computer technology, has to be far behind in this respect. Play around and continue to play your own Ultraman to fight monsters.

Now, Moying Entertainment is very rich and powerful, and it can be said that it has a place in the entire world film industry. Even the old MGM, Columbia, Universal and Warner have to admit that they are inferior in overall strength.

For a long time, Chen Xiaotang has devoted himself to the development of special effects technology, and even invested in Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic. It can be said that he is superhuman in this field.

Now, when Chen Xiaotang filmed "Havoc in Heaven", he did not hesitate to bring out his trump card special effects. If the special effects of the last "Qin Shihuang" were mostly used in war scenes, they did not account for a very large proportion of the whole film. Big, so this time is different. Two-thirds of the shots in "Havoc in Heaven" need special effects to help. It can be said that this movie is completely piled up with special effects.

And these special effects were not made up for no reason, they were all exchanged for real dollars.Therefore, in terms of production cost, this "Havoc in Heaven" far exceeds "Qin Shihuang" and other Hollywood blockbusters.

At this moment, this super blockbuster is finally about to reveal its true face.
