"I've asked about it," Fang Qingyu explained, "Mr. Pitt has invested in a movie that has just been filmed and starring Mr. Depp. The movie is called "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." They flew directly from New Zealand. .”
While Liu Qingshan listened attentively, his consciousness was also searching rapidly. After the other party finished speaking, he also understood the general outline of it.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston co-founded the company "Plan B", and this film was the last production of the company before their divorce.
The film was shot at the Cadbury Chocolate Factory in Dunedin, New Zealand. Counting the time, it was just about to be completed at this time.
"What about the others? They all made appointments in advance?"
"I don't know about this, but it was just a phone call from Peter. He said he wanted to hide it from you and only asked for a dozen movie tickets from me!"
"Since that's the case, I'll just pretend that I don't know about it. They probably have inquired about the scale of this premiere and don't want us to change our plans because of them!"
"I thought so too. To apologize, I opened a few VIP rooms for them in the dad hotel in the name of the company!"
"That's right. You've done a good job in this matter. You also arranged their lunch today?"
"They didn't let me, they said they wanted to sleep."
"Then let's wait until we get together in the evening! It's just that although I can pretend not to know, I still have to be prepared! I think so, I will leave my nanny car to them, and prepare cigarettes and alcohol in the car. I will arrange for brothers Guodong and Guoqiang to go back and help you move it later, they know where to put things!"
He hadn't seen that car yet, so Jin Xishan hurriedly expressed her intention to replace the Zhang brothers. Compared to her own men, her interest was obviously stronger.
Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: "That's fine. Actually, I want to trouble you, but I don't dare to give instructions directly, because I also want to see it right away. I want you to help me feel it in advance!"
After the guests left last night, the two of them checked the car's information on the Internet. They learned that only the stock investor Warren Buffett currently owned the same car, and they became even more excited.
Anyway, for the performance at the premiere, Jin Xishan only had to sing the theme song with Liu Qingshan, and there was no need to rehearse deliberately. Instead of just sitting here, he might as well find something to do.
After she left, Pu Zhiyan appeared again, and this time she dared to block his arm blatantly: "Brother Shanzi, hurry up and rehearse with me. Only when you are there can our team manager send me to perform! "
Even though he knew this was just Xiao Nizi's excuse, Liu Qingshan followed with a smile on his face.
Just kidding, since she knew it was to support her and the women's team agreed to join her, it was almost impossible not to send her to play.
Xiao Nizi pulled him over so anxiously just to show off her relationship with her. After all, many people only heard about it and never saw the interaction between the two people.
Sure enough, he had completely guessed the child's mentality. Park Ji-yeon was still far away from the girl group's rehearsal venue while holding him in her arm, when he heard her loudly convening: "Sisters, look who I'm going to bring." Please come!”
The girls immediately got into a mess of chirping, and immediately surrounded them regardless of the scolding of the instructors on the side.
Although the conditions of these girls are not as good as those of the members of the XY girl group, they are better in that they are young and dressed coolly, which makes them attractive to people.
The so-called inferiority mainly refers to height. The XY girl group are all over 1.7 meters tall. The height and shortness of this girl group are very uneven, but fortunately they still have good looks.
There are very few girls of their age who are not fans of Liu Qingshan, especially in the cold country, where similar star-chasing situations are even more common.
Since we were here for rehearsal, it was almost like visiting a class, so the crew naturally brought enough drinks and fruits.
Director Jin Taeyong then took this opportunity to issue it, and everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered together to talk about topics related to tonight's premiere.
"I heard that tomorrow's online pre-sales are very promising. For tonight's premiere, more than 2,000 tickets were sold out in a few minutes!"
The person who spoke was Jin Juncheng. This guy was already a little famous. After participating in the recording of two episodes of "Infinite Challenge", he is now a popular artist.
Although he didn't dare to show off in front of Liu Qingshan, the people around him were very excited. For example, the girls in the girl group were as blushing as if they had met a big star.
To them, this person is different from Liu Qingshan. The latter is an unreachable international superstar and a foreigner. Jin Jun's achievements are different. He is from the same hometown and often appears in the video studio of a company, so He is more in line with their interests.
Moreover, Jin Juncheng is still alone at the moment, so while he is distributing drinks, people quickly crowd around him.
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "It's not surprising that "Late Autumn" can achieve good box office in Seattle. The difficulty is in other cities in the United States. I estimate that the first-round box office can exceed 10 million US dollars, which is already considered a success!"
The first round is similar around the world and is based on a full week.
Tonight's premiere was specially held in Seattle's largest theater, with seats for 2,000 people. In fact, the only tickets you can buy are about 1,300 or 4,000 people, and the rest are invitation tickets.
But the ticket price here is more than three times that of Han Country. It only takes one week of ticket buying enthusiasm to catch up with Han Country's box office revenue in one month.
Therefore, most films from the Cold War cannot go abroad. The unified box office standard is not based on revenue, but on the specific number of people watching the movie.
Otherwise, given the population of this small country and the proportion of moviegoers, if the statistics are based on specific box office, it will not be brought to the table at all.
Therefore, Kim Tae-yong affirmed Liu Qingshan's statement: "Overseas box office is easiest to reflect based on box office revenue, because it has the clearest contrast with Han Guoneng's movies. The previous highest overseas box office It’s just a figure of tens of millions of dollars, and it’s the total amount for a month!”
Liu Qingshan is actually very concerned about the box office of this film. After all, it is his first starring film, and it does not come from his investment.
For him, it was not only a matter of face, but also whether his acting skills were recognized, which is why he worked so hard for a movie from the Cold Country.
He smiled and said: "Our domestic box office in China is actually the most anticipated. This is the consensus of all investors, so I would like to ask the crew to make another trip to Kyoto in China soon!"
The premiere of Hua Guo was arranged in Kyoto, but the specific date has not yet been determined. This needs to be determined based on the time when the film was introduced to Hua Guo.
He said that the main target was Kim Tae-yong, the others were supporting roles, and there were not many opportunities to be announced. Only this person, it is said that the films he was asked to direct were scheduled for two years.
"That's no problem. Even though I was filming at the time and had to find time to travel, I was counting on this hit movie to increase my net worth!"
Kim Tae-yong also knew that no matter how much he jumped, he could not escape the cold market. It was rare for a movie to go abroad, especially for the screenwriter and starring Liu Qingshan. It would not be easy to find similar opportunities in the future. .
As far as Liu Qingshan is concerned, it is because of this movie that he has gained a certain reputation in the Han Kingdom.
But he is well-known to Chinese people, mostly because of his relationship with Tang Wei, the Chinese heroine of the previous version of "Late Autumn".
Subsequently, his achievements in directing were not outstanding. On the contrary, Tang Wei had a faint tendency to make a comeback, especially with numerous domestic film appointments.
So for this person, he planned to wait and see, so for "The Eraser in My Brain", he found Cui Junrong, who was more capable and malleable.
Although this person is a musician, he was very imaginative when recording Jin Xishan's MV, so he finally handed him the script of "Speed Scandal".
Unexpectedly, this small-scale film with a pure Korean style became an instant hit and achieved a certain box office. Choi Junrong also changed his future development direction.
If one day Kim Tae Yong can really renew their relationship with Tang Wei, it will prove that there is a real fate between the two people, and he will not mind helping them again by then.
Those who need to rehearse, in addition to the girl group who have traveled a long way, other members of the "Late Autumn" crew will also participate. The chorus of Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan is just used as the opening song to heighten the atmosphere.
Most of the actors in the Han Kingdom have other specialties. He worked with these people, and besides, he was about to leave here, so he was not stingy about giving these people more opportunities to show up.
When the time was almost up, the large army officially set off for the venue a few kilometers away.
As usual, the front of the theater was crowded with onlookers, and judging from the scale, it seemed to be similar to the public places where Liu Qingshan appeared before.
But this is Seattle, a holy land for Hollywood filming, and there has always been no shortage of big-name actors.
The fact that he can receive as wide a support as ever here is enough to show that he really has some influence as an international star. This is especially profound for the Hanguo artists on the bus.
Moreover, the dense crowd is still dominated by people of various races except yellow skin, and they are not all young people in their teens or twenties. There are actually many well-dressed successful people, or middle-aged people with families. people.
But today Liu Qingshan is not as approachable as when he was filming "Late Autumn". He just sits on the bus and waves from the window like other actors.
In the team's actions, he has always strived not to stand out but to follow the crowd as much as possible. This is the awareness he should have the longer he has been in this industry.
But the situation was different when he got out of the car, because the relevant organizers knew that a big shot would be coming and stopped him at the entrance.
Jin Xishan walked out of the crowd and stepped forward to keep pace with him. His eyes that kept flashing told him that the necessary arrangements were ready.
The host was the well-known female host of UEN TV, Gullenna, whom he was already familiar with. This person had witnessed Liu Qingshan's on-site treatment of the 85-year-old Mike Wallace, who was in obvious physical condition.
The scene at that time was a shocking scene that was still fresh in the memory of not only her, but also the whole of Seattle. She witnessed with her own eyes an old man who was lying on a hospital bed and looked like a rotten wood, but he regained most of his vitality.
