Chapter 1160: Worry and Nervousness
Tuesday afternoon, June 15th.
A red carpet was laid out at the entrance of Changle Cinema in the magic capital, and countless reporters and fans were surrounded on both sides, looking forward to the arrival of stars from all walks of life.
After straightening the bow tie on his clothes, Bian Lin asked a little nervously: "Mr. Lu, when will Teacher Bai arrive?" He's not going to come, is he? We've already put him in our propaganda! ”
"Don't worry, it's definitely coming!"
Although he was also a little anxious, Lu Ganren still comforted Bian Lin: "The crew of "Hero" is filming a hundred kilometers away, and it won't take much time to come here...... Besides, it's just that the phone can't get through, anyway, "Die Hard" is his work, and it is also appropriate to attend the premiere. ”
Having said that, Lu Ganren, the current president of Galloping Horse Pictures, is still unsure.
In other words, as the director and producer of "Die Hard", the two of them are now very afraid that Mr. Lao Bai, who agreed to attend the premiere, suddenly called, saying that he would not come for various reasons.
It's just that if I have to say it, the two are worried from different angles.
Bian Lin is worried that if Lao Bai doesn't come, it means that people are likely to have opinions about the quality of the finished film of "Die Hard", which is the most unbearable thing for him as a director - he is also counting on Lao Bai's script to burst out again and the new film will be a big hit at the box office! And Lu Ganren is worried that Sun Peng still has a problem with Galloping Horse Pictures, in that case, even if "Die Hard" has a good box office, it will be difficult to cooperate next time!
So for today's premiere, Galloping Horse Pictures can be said to have done its best!
"Die Hard" is the beginning of Lao Bai's new series, and it is also his test of the waters for getting back together with Galloping Horse Pictures. In order to let Sun Peng see the sincerity of Galloping Horse Pictures, although the investment in the entire film is only about 200 million, the publicity and distribution expenses invested by Galloping Horse Pictures directly doubled the cost and pushed it up to about 400 million.
In other words, if you only rely on the domestic box office, it will be possible to return to the cost at least one billion.
Of course, with the strength of Galloping Horse Pictures, Europe and the United States dare not say that it is no problem to release it in Southeast Asia, as well as Japan and South Korea, and Tang Long is also a veteran action star after all, coupled with the great director Bian Lin's hard work, it will definitely not be too difficult to recover the cost......
But even if it can't make money, Galloping Horse Pictures will definitely not slack off this film.
Needless to say, just looking at the different treatment of "Die Hard" and "Byrne's Identity 3", which were released successively, in the domestic and overseas markets, Lu Ganren's heart is constantly dripping blood.
Lotus Pictures' "Bourne's Identity" trilogy can be said to have earned enough face and lining in recent years.
Although both in terms of box office and influence, the first two parts of "Byrne's Identity" cannot be compared with the two parts of "Hurricane Rescue", especially "Hurricane Rescue 2 - True Lies", which is definitely a milestone for Chinese action films, not only making money at the global box office, but also mentioning Forbidden City Pictures to the position of the four major Chinese film and television companies in one go.
But in Lu Ganren's view, "Byrne's Identity" is just a loss of the subject matter.
Although both films are about secret agents, the main character of the hurricane is a retired agent, and the core of the first story is also to save the family. Although the second part is a little bigger, the theme of anti-terrorism is also very easy to be accepted by audiences in various countries in this era, and the box office naturally performs well. And the content of "Bourne's Identity" is a little "arrogant", and in the eyes of many foreign audiences, it may be suspected of showing the power of China!
As a result, "The Identity of Bourne" has been far inferior to the "Hurricane Rescue" series at the box office overseas.
But as the saying goes, there are gains and losses, and it is precisely because Byrne showed the audience the rapidly growing global power and influence of China in the movie, that the evaluation of this series in China is very high! Especially after the second part was taken off the theater, the number of online broadcasts has reached new highs, and the data has even surpassed "True Lies" by nearly half!
One can imagine what the final part of this trilogy will be like after it is released.
With Huaxia, the world's largest film market, what if "Bourne's Identity 3" does not perform well overseas?
What's more, at present, people are not necessarily worse.
After all, with the accumulation of the previous two films, the "Byrne's Identity" series now has a good reputation overseas, and there are as many as 24 countries that have been confirmed to be released!
You must know that even if Galloping Horse Pictures has done its best, it has only signed release contracts in nine countries so far......
The root of everything is nothing more than the "Mission Impossible" a few years ago!
Linked to the benefits that Lotus and the Forbidden City have received from Lao Bai in the past two years, Lu Ganren is extremely angry with his previous position in this position! Just because of his so-called cost savings at that time, he completely offended a super boss in the screenwriting industry - it's just a matter of making less money or something, the key is to see the movies of Lotus and the Forbidden City selling well at the overseas box office and continuing to increase their influence, which makes the standing Galloping Horse Pictures embarrassed?
"Alas......"
The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, which made Lu Ganren more and more worried about whether Lao Bai could come.
came, in addition to showing that everyone has released their previous suspicions, it also shows that there is still the possibility of continuing to cooperate. And if not......
"Mr. Lu, Bian Dao, here!"
Just when both of them were a little irritable, Tang Long, the male number one of "Die Hard", suddenly trotted over excitedly, and whispered excitedly: "Just now they finally got through the mobile phone of Teacher Bai's assistant, and their car has entered the magic city!" ”
"Huh? Really? ”
After listening to Tang Long's words, Bian Lin and Lu Ganren were overjoyed at the same time!
"Of course it's true, but it's the traffic at this point of the magic capital...... It may be a little later! ”
"Late? Don't be afraid to be late! ”
didn't care about this, Lu Ganren waved his hand and said: "Anyway, with the identity and status of Teacher Lao Bai, it is only natural that he will be the last to walk the red carpet!" Even if it's still late, it's a big deal to ask the staff to wait, and our premiere will be delayed......"
……
Just when Bian Lin and Lu Ganren were relieved, and the worries in their hearts finally disappeared, Xie Liuna? Utkin's irritability has just begun!
"Relax, Selyuna, relax!"
Looking at the nervousness on his granddaughter's face, Andre? Utkin patted her on the shoulder and smiled softly: "It's okay to perform on stage just like usual, don't be so nervous...... Trust me, it's a good song, and you're the best performer on it! ”
"Thanks, I know!"
After taking a deep breath, Selyuna? Utkin forced himself to compose.
But this strong sense of tension, where is it said that it is pressed down? You must know that what she will be on the biggest stage for the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War will be on the stage later, and in addition to thousands of spectators, there are also those big people who are rarely seen even by the regiment commander!
"Oh my God, I can't be cranky anymore!"
I wanted to reach out and pat my cheek, and suddenly I thought of the makeup that I had spent a lot of time painting, Xie Liana? Utkin quickly put his hand down again. However, the accumulated nervousness was nowhere to be released, so she finally pinched the muscles in her waist and clenched her teeth hard: "Xie Liuna? Utkin, this is an important moment to change your life, cheer up......"
