Chapter 351 The Golden Armor Is Coming

Time passed quickly, and it was December 16th.

The super-large global premiere of "Curse of the Golden Flower" was grandly opened at the Beijing Film Studio.

As an invited reporter, Lin Xiaohui received two tickets for the premiere. She packed up early this morning and entered the venue with her husband Zhang Qiang.

"Husband, let's enter."

Lin Xiaohui shook Zhang Qiang's sleeves, and Zhang Qiang looked at her to show that he knew, and then continued to make a phone call.

Zhang Qiang is in the tourism business. His business has been getting better and better in recent years. His economy has improved greatly, but he has also lost a lot of time.

In this regard, Lin Xiaohui was a little helpless, and her mood was naturally not good.

Fortunately, Zhang Qiang is a good man.

After Lin Xiaohui reminded her, seeing that she looked aggrieved, he quickly finished the work at hand.

He quickly hung up the phone, and then took the initiative to help Lin Xiaohui take the bag: "I'll go buy you a bottle of water."

Lin Xiaohui smiled: "Honey, I want popcorn, chocolate flavor."

"Don't be afraid of getting fat."

"No, someone wants it anyway."

"Then buy more, and eat you into a big fat pig!"

After a few words, the two seemed to be back to the time when they were in love.

Lin Xiaohui couldn't help but sigh that time passed so quickly.

In fact, Lin Xiaohui doesn't care much about watching movies.

She is not an entertainment reporter, but a city newspaper reporter.

This time she came here just to accept the company's task, to report on another grand premiere of Lao Mouzi, which is definitely a big event in Beijing today.

And reporting the premiere is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to celebrate the wedding anniversary with my husband.

After Lao Mouzi entered the 21st century, his movies were not very good, but his premiere was unique in China.

Among domestic film directors, Lao Mouzi was the first to use this large-scale way to promote movies.

It was from that time that many people in China knew that movies could be subdivided into commercial movies.

Regardless of commercial or non-commercial, Lin Xiaohui was very grateful to Zhang Yimou for such a large premiere operation.

Because in 2002, the premiere of "Hero" was so lively that there was a traffic jam outside the premiere site.

Because of the traffic jam, Lin Xiaohui missed the train, and then she met her current husband Zhang Qiang.

At that time, Zhang Qiang used his identity as a tour guide to solve her big traffic problem.

So today they came to the premiere.

Not for the movie, but to use this method to commemorate the four-year anniversary of their marriage and the first anniversary of their marriage.

"Buy it, let's go."

At this time, Zhang Qiang bought popcorn and drinks and greeted with a smile.

At the age of 30, although he has a bit more wealth, he has also experienced a lot more than four years ago.

"My husband has worked hard."

Lin Xiaohui gently took his arm.

"What's the trouble? I just bought some popcorn."

"It's troublesome for you to accompany me to the movies."

"What's the matter? I'll accompany you next time you bring your whole family."

"Thank you, husband."

"Oh, you're so annoying. You're almost 30."

"You despise me."

"I was wrong, I was wrong. The queen in our family is always 18 years old."

The two of them laughed and chatted, just like four years ago, and followed the crowd into the screening room of the Beijing Film Studio.

After entering the screening room, the scene inside instantly amazed everyone.

In the hall, the walls and the dais on both sides were made of seven-color colored glaze, decorating the Beijing Film Studio studio where the premiere was held exactly like the harem on TV.

Nearly a hundred spotlights were projected from the 10-meter-high ceiling, and the light reflected from the colored glaze wall, reflecting colorful light on the white grand piano on the left side of the stage.

A crane camera kept moving in mid-air, and another camera was running back and forth on the pre-laid track. There were 5 other positioning cameras around with their lenses facing the stage.

The whole stage looked magnificent and resplendent, with a strong royal smell of money, and it looked almost the same as the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

No wonder this movie is called "The Curse of the Golden Flower".

"This is much more advanced than two years ago!"

The two of them were amazed like many movie fans.

Two years ago, they also went to the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers".

It was also very big and good, but it didn't seem to be as exquisite as today.

"That's because he is Zhang Yimou, and he spent 60 million!"

Lin Xiaohui began to popularize science.

The entire premiere of "The Curse of the Golden Flower" is said to have cost 60 million!

It is equivalent to the investment of one "A Thousand Miles Alone" or 6 "Back to 20"!

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Zhang Qiang was dumbfounded.

60 million, his own travel agency will have to earn for decades!

Lin Xiaohui added: "This time, Lao Mouzi is aiming to break the box office record."

"Lu Ping'an's record?"

"Yes, 400 million, probably only Lao Mouzi can break it in China."

"Then do you think it will work this time?"

"I don't know about that. Their competition among big directors has nothing to do with us. We just need to watch the movie."

Zhang Qiang nodded: "Yeah, I hope the movie will be good, otherwise it will be a waste."

Like many people, the actual effect of such a big show is completely different from a few years ago.

The public has been baptized by all kinds of so-called big productions and blockbusters. Zhang Yimou held two grand premieres in a row, but the movies were not good. The case of "The Promise" with a huge thunder but attracted drizzle is still hanging on the crooked tree, which is still fresh in people's memory.

Many people have begun to get tired of this kind of "extravagance" and "over-promotion".

So while everyone is lamenting the grand show, in fact, the expectations for the movie are not particularly high.

Soon, there was no empty seat in the auditorium that can accommodate 1,200 people. Zhang Qiang sat down in his seat, and Lin Xiaohui started working, holding the recording equipment and waiting for the process to start with the reporters.

After a while, Zhang Weipin, the producer of "Curse of the Golden Flower", came, followed by a group of stars, and the premiere ceremony began.

The absence of Gong Huang, Chow Yun Fat, and Lao Mouzi disappointed the reporters who came to interview. However, the famous Taiwanese variety show hosts Kevin Tsai, Wu Zongxian, Tao Jingying, Zeng Baoyi, and Aya, who was studying in the United States, were all invited by the organizers to the scene. They appeared at the premiere with four mainland hosts, including Guo Taoer, He Jiong, and Shen Xing, wearing Tang suits.

As usual, Zongxian made fun of Aya's breasts. Kevin Tsai and Tao Jingying interviewed the actors in the film, including Liu Ye and Jay Chou.

Guo Taoer drew laughter from the audience as soon as she appeared.

After a group of Latin dancers danced around Jay Chou, Lao Mouzi "appeared".

Zhang Yimou, who was directing the opera "Qin Shi Huang" in New York, USA, made a satellite live connection through four satellite switching points and delivered his premiere speech in the Reuters live broadcast room in Times Square, New York. The large screen transmitting images occupied the entire wall in the middle of the stage.

He commented that the program was "very entertaining", and then Jay Chou talked about the topic of "listening to mom". A group of related photos appeared on the big screen. After that, a mother told her child about her feelings of watching him grow up. Finally, Jet Li walked from the guest seat to the stage and began to call on everyone to participate in the charity fund.

10 minutes later, the movie officially started, and more than two hours later, the movie ended.

Applause broke out.

Lin Xiaohui's expression remained unchanged.

In her opinion, the movie was actually the same as she expected.

The thunder was loud, but the rain was not very big.

To put it bluntly, this movie is almost a bad movie.

As for the rating, it's about six or seven points.

Anyway, it's just a one-time watch. You will definitely not be happy to watch it again, and it's even worse to ask her to buy a ticket to watch it.

Lin Xiaohui's fair evaluation.

But at least it's better than "House of Flying Daggers".

And there are many advantages.

She is not a filmmaker or an entertainment reporter, but she also has a certain appreciation ability and understands the perspective of ordinary audiences.

In her opinion, although the story of "Curse of the Golden Flower" is still not very good, it is also on the passing line. In addition, the pictures, scenes, etc. are still top-notch.

The cast is also quite attractive.

Let's not talk about Chow Yun-fat and Gong Huang.

Especially Jay Chou.

Jay Chou's acting skills are certainly not as good as the first two.

But it seems that because he was trained by Lu Ping'an twice, his performance this time is actually okay.

The most important thing is that Jay Chou is a big name in the music industry and has a large fan base.

Including Lin Xiaohui herself, she also likes this singer very much.

Now Jay Chou is performing well, which will naturally bring positive benefits.

In addition, Jay Chou's box office appeal in recent years is also very good, which can be proved by "Initial D".

So with him, many people will go to the cinema.

Of course, there are many other gimmicks in the movie.

For example, the white steamed buns.

Lin Xiaohui understands men.

Just based on this, the box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower" will not be bad.

Of course, there are also points of criticism, such as the plot, the fights in the back, etc., many, many.

But in general, in her opinion, "Curse of the Golden Flower" will have great appeal to ordinary audiences in the future. At least it will not repeat the mistakes of "House of Flying Daggers", and it will not be like "The Promise", which makes people feel that it is not worth the ticket price and they have to curse.

So "Curse of the Golden Flower" may not break the box office record, but the results will definitely not be too bad.

Lin Xiaohui analyzed it, then turned around and asked: "Husband, am I right?"

As a result, Zhang Qiang next to him started to make a phone call again: "Hello, what, okay, okay, I'll come over now."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaohui's mood became low again.

Husband is busy again!

After Zhang Qiang finished the call, Lin Xiaohui asked: "You are going on a business trip again, so let's go back quickly, I will help you prepare clothes."

"No."

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "Xiaohui, there is something I told you to hold on to."

"What's wrong."

"Our dad is sick."

"Father-in-law?"

"No, it's your dad, suspected of gastric cancer. Xiaohui, Xiaohui!"
