After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 275 Premiere

"Thank you very much for coming here today and attending the premiere of this movie. I am the screenwriter, starring, director, producer and... action director of this movie, Wu Jing."

"Oh!"

Immediately someone below exclaimed, even though they already knew that Wu Jing put more of his own brand in this movie, but now he finds out that he has done so many things, it still feels amazing.

There are many all-rounders. There was once a person on Hong Kong Island who did all kinds of film work, and made certain achievements in all aspects.

But a person's energy is limited after all, you can be good at various things, but doing so many things in the same movie at the same time is a great test of energy and ability.

It is inevitable that some people will want to see the joke, but most people still have simple expectations.

Next, Wu Jing invited all the main creators, and Li Mingji was naturally among them.

In fact, compared to the premieres of several other movies, the premiere of "Dragon Born 2" was a little shabby.

This shabby does not refer to ostentation. Although according to Wu Jing, the budget is a bit tight, but obviously, he also hopes that "Dragonborn 2" can have a good start, and he doesn't want to pull his hips at this time, so this premiere The size of the ceremony is quite normal.

There were quite a few people who came, and because of Li Mingji, who has received a lot of attention recently, many media and fans came here.

At the scene of the premiere, the square outside was crowded with people very early. This is actually a way for some people to celebrate the new year.

After all, with the development of the times, more and more people like to have New Year’s Eve dinner outside, and then do a family celebration, such as watching a movie together, or shopping together.

Especially in the city, without those neighbor relationships, not many people adhere to the custom of keeping the year old, so going out to activities together has become the best way to exchange feelings.

Of course, many people have gone to the New Year, and there are still few businesses that are still open. The night markets are basically closed, but this kind of plaza must be full of businesses that continue to operate, as well as staff who insist on working overtime. .

There are always some people, either they are out of town and don’t want to waste money, so they simply stay for the New Year;

It's all about living!

But in terms of participating artists, if the other few films can be regarded as star-studded, especially the other three films ranked in the top four, all have many directors and first-line stars participating-two of them have their own Not to mention the participation of many big names.

And "Dragonborn 2" came to the premiere, in addition to the main star actors, there were also some well-known local drama actors in Shanghai, and a few star friends of Wu Jing, but from the starlight, even that All "A Tale of a Small Town" are not as good.

Xiaoguang saw this in private before and said: "Sure enough, it is said that Brother Jing is too straightforward and offended many people. It seems that the popularity in the circle is really not good."

Brother Wang also smiled and retorted at the time: "You are wrong about this. It has nothing to do with popularity. The main reason is that there is now a competitive relationship. Many people want to avoid suspicion. Think about it, other well-known actors in the circle are in this schedule. Aren't they all covered by the other three movies?"

Thinking about it carefully, this is really true, because in "A Tale of a Small Town", Li Mingji remembers that there are many big names who made guest appearances.

Although it's just a cameo appearance, it has something to do with it after all. Even if you don't attend, it's impossible to praise the competitors here, right?

Everyone is in the circle, and there are some explicit and implicit rules that must be followed.

In contrast, "Dragonborn 2" Wu Jing didn't play this game. Otherwise, if he really wanted to exert his strength, he would still be able to invite many people to come.

Of course, the premiere was just a starlight. In fact, "Dragonborn 2" got off to the best start in other aspects.

Although the Spring Festival file can be said to be a crowd vying for the throne, "Dragonborn 2" still made a bloody way, and won 36% of the film schedule. Although it is not very high, it is also considered to be the first in the same period; "Movies Are Crazy" came in second with a slight advantage of 2%.

In terms of pre-sales, the performance of "Dragonborn 2" did not disappoint the efforts of publicity. It also won the first place in the same period, reaching 5000 million. There is no way to arrange the slices to be dispersed.

After all, in addition to "Dragon Born 2", director Feng's "Movies Are Crazy" also exceeded 1 million in pre-sales, and Chen et al.'s "Small Town Story" and "Waiting for You Go Home" also exceeded [-] million, and the remaining movies They all range from several thousand to several million, and the entire market adds up to [-] to [-] million, which is not a small amount.

It can even be considered a bit fierce, as a report said, "It feels like the movie is squeezed into the Spring Festival stalls, and the basic box office is like picking up money."

However, many people in the industry are still optimistic that Director Feng's new film will win the championship, not only based on past results, but also based on the industry's evaluation of the film.

Although this kind of evaluation is becoming more and more unbelievable now, few people listen to the words of professional film critics, and everyone watches movies more based on their own, or the feelings of ordinary people like themselves.

However, genre films such as "Dragonborn 2" do not have such a wide audience, not as good as comedy movies, so although they may be more aggressive in the early stage, they may not have enough stamina, and they may indeed be overtaken.

In fact, compared to "Splendid Clothes and Embroidery", the treatment of "Dragonborn 2" is already much better. On the one hand, it is Wu Jing's face, and the results of the previous one are the foundation.

As for Li Mingji, his influence is "instead" not very great.

Although the "Jin Yi" he starred in has just achieved good results, he is only a supporting role in this movie after all.

However, this does not prevent the crew from using him for publicity. This was one of the purposes of hiring him at the beginning. Besides, Li Mingji is very popular now. It would be a big waste not to use him to hype.

Of course, Wu Jing is also sincere. When she was interviewed before, she made it clear that when she hired Li Mingji, she was just looking for him to attract traffic, but she did not expect at the time that his traffic would still be there later. It will be even bigger, and even the reputation has been reversed.

At least compared to the previous mention of Shidi, everyone mocked him, but now sometimes it is said with a little expectation, hoping that one day he will be able to take the land again for what he deserves.

In fact, many people in "Bodyguard" feel that they can sweep the awards season, and the ratings and quality are guaranteed, and the rest depends on the eyes of the judges.

But the performance of the actors, as well as production and other aspects, are definitely the best in domestic TV dramas.

Of course, winning such a thing, in addition to strength, sometimes also depends on the opponent and "luck", just like Li Mingji's previous win of Shidi was "upset" or even "thunder".

But the awards season is at least a month away, so let's not mention it for now.

And at this premiere, in the Q&A before the movie, after being asked this question again, Wu Jing, in addition to answering the same as before, also added a very sly sentence, "I knew he would be so popular now." , I would have given him more roles in the first place."

This made everyone laugh, and when Li Mingji was asked how he felt after hearing this, he could only say "I look forward to the next cooperation with Brother Jing".

Generally speaking, the topic of discussion is still more in the movie itself. After all, whether it is Wu Jing or the movie, it has enough topicality, but Li Mingji is too popular recently, so there must be a movie with him in it. Inevitably ask questions about him.

In addition to his performance in this movie, as well as what he is like, what his relationship is, what he thinks of him, etc., Wu Jing actually answered them all patiently.

Although there must be some elements of deliberate flattery, Wu Jing's impression of Li Mingji has always been very good. Even seeing that he is so popular now, she is very glad that she had a good vision at the beginning.
