Chapter 395: One Minute Into the Show, a Bunch of “F*ck” Noises Were Heard
On the evening of the 1st, the premiere of "Pacific Rim" was held in the theater of the new headquarters building of Xingchen in Beijing.
Today is the Party Founding Day, so the Cultural Palace and the Great Hall are not suitable.
But compared with those places, it is obviously more appropriate to put it in the new Xingchen building.
The total construction area of the entire building complex is 110,000 square meters, which is not large, but not small.
It consists of a 32-story single office building and a large shopping mall on the ground floor. It took three years to build.
Named Xingchen Center, it is now available for occupancy.
The current investment promotion work of the shopping mall has been basically completed. It will be fully open after the premiere. On August 8, Xingchen Company will officially move into the office building.
There are 32 floors in total, and the top 22 floors will be used by Xingchen itself.
The office building adopts an irregular structure, which looks like a piece of obsidian from a distance and will become another landmark in the Dongdan area.
In other words, the premiere was very lively.
The pre-sale box office is close to 300 million, which has achieved great success in North America, and it involves the upcoming opening of its own shopping mall, so it must be lively.
At 3 o'clock, the premiere process began.
On the red carpet, the entrance process of celebrities was similar to that of an international film festival.
First the little people, then the big people.
This time, Lu Pingan did not invite many celebrities, mainly because although the IMAX hall here is large, in order to ensure the viewing effect, there are only 360 seats in one hall.
There are not many seats, but the excitement is not lacking.
Because the other 15 halls are all open for ticket sales.
So tonight is a large red carpet show for the public.
So the stars who are lucky enough to get the invitation letter look very cool in front of so many fans.
Among them, Lu Pingan's stars are naturally indispensable.
For example, the group of people from Tangren are very powerful today.
As soon as Hu Ge appeared, a group of girls screamed.
They were excited to see their idols, and they were proud that their idols could appear in such an occasion.
There were also old friends such as Jay Chou and Guo Rong who came to support them.
Of course, the most popular star tonight was not Guo Rong and others, but Liu Qianqian.
Pacific Rim was a success in the US. Although Liu Xixi's popularity in the US has not been completely opened, she has only become a familiar face.
But it is different in China.
She is the heroine of international blockbusters.
With this title, Liu Xixi is directly an international star.
Of course, if people want to think that she is not "unworthy of the position", they have to see her performance in the final movie.
But it does not prevent her from being the focus of the audience now.
So when Liu Xixi and Matt Damon, who are also high-end, walked on the red carpet hand in hand, those fans of Liu Xixi almost suffocated, that was because they shouted too hard.
Lu Ping'an's appearance was as simple as always.
Although he now has many fans who like his looks and has received a lot of screams, as the boss of the director, he will not appear alone, but walk with the leaders who came today.
After the red carpet, he entered the backstage, and it was still the same process. He chatted with various big guys and juniors in a casual manner, and did not talk about any serious matters. The serious matters will only be discussed after the premiere.
Soon the premiere began.
Dong Qing, Sa Beining and the little black fat man formed a mixed hosting group, and Jay Chou, Dao Lang, Xue Zhiqian, Li Yuchun and others sang.
Finally, Lu Ping'an came on stage and said his iconic opening remarks: "Let's not talk nonsense, let's start watching the movie."
He walked off the stage neatly and sat down next to Liu Xixi. The lights in the theater dimmed and the 22-meter-wide and 16-meter-high big screen began to light up.
This surprised everyone present at Huayi. This screen was bigger than the "Batman 1" period!
After the opening, the movie started.
When the picture on the big screen officially lit up, everyone's attention was attracted by the movie.
At this time, the big screen was only playing the opening.
That was the iconic "Holding the Stars" opening of Xingchen Films.
Many viewers who had never seen 3D were immediately surprised.
And those who had seen ordinary 3D were once again shocked by the effect of IMAX addition.
In front of them, the hand and the galaxies were really right in front of them.
So no wonder the ticket price for IMAX3D is 120!
Soon, after the opening credits, the movie entered the main film.
At first, the screen was black, with only low and depressing background music.
Then the narration began:
"When I was young, whenever I felt lonely and insignificant, I would look up at the stars, wondering if there were aliens there."
"It turned out that I looked in the wrong direction. The aliens entered our world from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean."
"In the gap between the two plates, a channel connecting two different dimensions was created, forming a crossing port."
In just a few simple sentences, most of the world background was explained.
Aliens invaded from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
At this time, a dimensional channel with a flashing blue arc appeared in the picture.
In 3D vision, this channel looked so real.
The narration continued:
"I was only fifteen years old when the first monster landed in San Francisco."
The narration ended.
The next scene was a scene that brought a huge shock to movie fans.
Roar~
With a roar of the beast.
The giant monster's claws pierced the San Francisco Bridge.
The pressure from the giant made everyone's anus tighten at that moment.
In the next shot, the terrifying and hideous monster destroyed the bridge, causing the cars on the bridge to fall into the sea.
At this moment, in the upward shooting angle, the car that fell from the bridge into the sea was quickly enlarged on the big screen. Soon, the audience could only see the terrified face in the front windshield, and the car seemed to be rushing out of the screen.
And this scene was accompanied by the giant screen 3D effect, and the impact was even greater.
A small 3D window-breaking technique made at least half of the 360 people at the scene almost move their butts and run away just now.
That was because they were scared.
"Fuck!"
"I was scared to death!"
"The Coke almost spilled."
"Just this shot, the box office of this movie can't be low!"
"..."
Less than a minute after the opening.
The star special effects handed over a satisfactory answer, and received a lot of "Fuck".
The film then explained the background first.
The San Francisco Bridge was destroyed by the first invading monster.
The huge monster took the US military 6 days to solve, during which three cities were destroyed, tens of thousands of people died, and the monster's blood also formed pollution, reflecting how powerful the monster is.
And just six months after the first monster invaded, the second monster came.
The second monster attacked Manila, followed by the third monster in Chicago, and then the fourth and fifth monsters.
It was not until this time that humans realized that the monster invasion would not stop, and this was just the beginning.
So, humans need new weapons.
In this scene, careful fans found a little easter egg.
That is, the officer played by Yan Danchen in "Source Code" appeared!
So this is the story after "Source Code"?
Without waiting for more thoughts, the movie continues.
From then on, countries united, pooled resources, and put aside past hostility and disputes for the greater common good.
And in order to defeat the monsters, humans eventually created their own monsters, namely mechas.
The Hunter Plan was born.
At first, the Hunter Plan encountered setbacks.
A person's brain could not withstand the pressure of neural sensing, so there was a dual-pilot system.
After that, humans began to win.
Hunters also became stars.
Danger became publicity, and monsters became toys.
The world entered the entertainment era.
Because victory is too easy for humans.
But suddenly, everything changed
