Chapter 374 "The Mystery of the Spell" Premiere


Chapter 374 Premiere of "The Mystery of the Spell"
In fact, for a fantasy adventure movie like "The Mystery of the Spell", which also has very strong Chinese elements, it is very appropriate to hold the premiere in China.

But today's Chinese market cannot support such a commercial blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million US dollars, so we had to hold the premiere in North America.

After several consecutive successful movies, Cheng Long also has a certain appeal in Hollywood and is now considered a first-line action actor.

In terms of net worth, he is not as good as actors like Schwarzenegger and Stallone, and his popularity is not as good as that of Tom Cruise, but at least there is a certain audience who like Cheng Long's style.

The movie "The Mystery of the Spell" can be said to be a collection of Cheng Long's action style, which also incorporates elements of adventure and fantasy.

On July 12, the premiere of "The Mystery of the Spell" was held at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles.

As the film's producer, little Gilbert also attended the premiere to support the film.

On the red carpet, Gilbert Jr. said in an interview: "I have always liked Cheng Long's movies. He has a unique charm and can make movies very interesting.

The idea for this film came from my listening to the legend about the zodiac while I was filming "Lord of the Rings" in China.

I have already watched the video for you all and if you believe me, it will be a very interesting movie. "

Indeed, little Gilbert had watched the film in advance at the previous internal preview. Generally speaking, because Cheng Long controlled the action scenes, Nolan, who is not good at action movies, was able to make this movie well.

There is no need to worry about the plot, although Nolan always likes to set up responsible plots to burn the audience's brains, and it is the same in this movie.

But after all, the highlight of the film is the action scenes and some visual spectacles. The plot is not too complicated. There is no need to worry that the audience will give up on the film because they cannot understand it.

Little Gilbert is not the star of tonight's premiere, he is just here to stand on stage and support.

Then the main creative lineup of the film was unveiled. Cheng Long walked on the red carpet with Bingbing Li and Shu Chang, followed by many familiar faces from Hollywood, as well as Dwayne Johnson, who recently entered Hollywood and starred in The Scorpion King.

On the red carpet, Cheng Long also had a performance-style competition with Dwayne Johnson, and the two sides ended up tied.

I have to say that it is quite interesting to watch a kung fu show live. At least the cheers from the surrounding fans prove that Cheng Long and Dwayne Johnson's performances are very good.

In addition to the appearance of the film's main creators, many guests also came to the scene. Tom Cruise was very generous and attended the premiere together with Nicole Kidman.

DiCaprio also once again brought his new girlfriend with him, and when Jack walked down the aisle, his new Ruth always attracted attention.

Some reporters also discussed: "Did Leo have sex with Madonna?"

"Wow," the reporter next to him who didn't understand exclaimed: "Madonna is so much older than Leo, and she has had sex with many people. Leo doesn't mind?"

A reporter with a little knowledge said at this time: "You will not understand at first glance. Madonna is interested in little Gilbert, but little Gilbert is not interested in him.

Leo sacrificed himself to stop the disaster for little Gilbert. "

"Oh my God, what kind of friendship is this." A fellow reporter exclaimed, and then asked: "Then why doesn't Leo star in Little Gilbert's movie?"

"This is the difference between you and little Gilbert. He can become a world-famous director, but you can only be an entertainment reporter."

What this knowledgeable reporter said is not very pleasant, but it is true.

He continued: “One rule that all successful film directors must abide by is that the character must be suitable.

Only after this will you consider personal connections and so on. Otherwise, if you create a completely different character, wouldn't you be ruining your own recruitment?

And as far as I know, it was little Gilbert who recommended Leo to James Cameron, and Leo also starred in "Titanic". "

These past events from the 1990s were heard by colleagues around me with great interest.

Someone shouted: "Keanu is here...", and everyone's eyes were attracted to the red carpet again.

If we say that the most popular star in the past two years is actually not the star of "Lord of the Rings". No matter how outstanding the performance of the Elf Prince and Elf Princess is, "The Lord of the Rings" is a group drama after all. Everyone's performance was wonderful, which in disguise weakened the popularity and attention brought by a certain actor's outstanding performance.

On the contrary, in the "Matrix" series, Keanu Reeves is cool and handsome. Together with Charlize Theron, he shared the popularity brought by the blockbuster movies and became the hottest star in the past two years.

Keanu Reeves now has a lot of film projects on his hands, and he simply can’t finish them.

So it’s understandable that Keanu Reeves’ appearance on the red carpet caused a stir on the red carpet.

Keanu Reeves came to the premiere of "Spellbound," but he was actually uninvited. After watching the "Matrix" series, he became interested in kung fu.

It just so happened that Cheng Long was known as the master of Chinese Kung Fu in Hollywood, so Keanu Reeves came to see the so-called real Kung Fu.

However, Keanu Reeves may be a little disappointed. The kung fu in "Spellbound" is not as fancy as in "The Matrix".

Cheng Long's kung fu is more about integrating the props around him and incorporating comedy elements. After all, he is known as the God of War in the Furniture City. Of course, in the movie, Cheng Long can also do some incredible moves because of the power of the spell.

After the red carpet ceremony, the viewing session of the film is ready to begin.

Little Gilbert also chatted with the creators: "Look at how nervous you all are, don't worry, I've already watched the film.

At least in North America there is no problem if it exceeds 100 million, at least it can make money. "

Cheng Long believed in Little Gilbert's judgment: "If it can make money, the development plan for a sequel movie can be put on the agenda."

Nolan said: "We have already made a completed story outline. If the movie is profitable, subsequent directors can continue on."

Nolan has determined that he will not direct "Spell 2" again. He does not want to repeat himself in commercial films. He is currently interested in a magic project.

Nolan plans to work on the magic project after "Mystery of the Spell" to realize his dream of burning the audience's brains.

Gilbert Jr. expressed his support for this. In Melon Studio, James Gunn has strong execution ability, is a good commercial film director, and has certain writing and directing abilities.

Sofia is totally in the independent film business, inspiring to become a female director who won the Oscar for Best Director, but this road is not easy.

Nolan is a combination of the two, but Nolan himself tends to go astray and needs someone to keep him in check, so Nolan's wife Emma plays this role.

If that doesn't work, there's little Gilbert. As the producer of every project at Melon Film Studio, he has the final say on the film.

Bingbing Li is very excited. After she got the "Mystery of the Spell" project last year like a dream, she can describe it in one sentence.

That is the force of the good wind that sends me to the blue clouds.

Indeed, it can be said that the current Bingbing Li is really in the limelight, and her attention in the country is no less than that of the veteran first-line actresses.

As long as the movie is successful, she will become a truly international actress, one of the few Chinese actresses.

In fact, Shu Chang should benefit the most from such great wealth. After all, Bingbing Li is only a supporting role, while Shu Chang is the protagonist, and his role is no weaker than that of Cheng Long.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Before the film was released in China, Shu Chang was known as the number one child star.

If there was any hot search list on Weibo at this time, Shu Chang's name would definitely be in the top three.

The little girl has no feelings about becoming famous, perhaps because she experienced a similar scene when she was very young.

However, she is still looking forward to the movie. After all, this is her first time filming abroad. All the experiences are so fresh and the filming process is also very interesting.
