The time soon came to two o'clock in the afternoon. According to the premiere process, it was time for Liu Qingshan's crew members to rush to the scene.
The opening of the premiere was set at 7pm. I rushed there so early because there would be several performances after the opening and before the ribbon-cutting.
Since lip-synching is strictly prohibited in the performance market here, in order to ensure the smoothness of the performance, prior rehearsals are inevitable.
However, this does not mean that the market in Laos and the United States has noble moral sentiments. In addition to strict prohibitions, there are actually a large number of forms of private fraud.
Lip-synching is actually not new here, but it still exists objectively and cannot be done blatantly.
In comparison, only the male and female groups from the cold country are the most unscrupulous. No matter how chaotic the performance market in the mainland is, meeting people from the cold country will only pale into insignificance.
As the absolute protagonist, Liu Qingshan needs to sing two songs today, and in the most passionate Chinese song, Liu Jiaban will be on stage to cooperate with his performance.
The model of using performances as the opening of premieres was started by Liu Qingshan in the Mainland, and even premieres are not really popular as a method of film promotion.
Even in Hollywood, premieres with special performances are rare, because such promotional ceremony-type activities are not suitable for inviting additional guest performers.
There are not many people like him who can act well and also have the ability to be a singer.
More importantly, only his influence can exceed the movie itself, and most of the movies about him are directed and acted by him, so there is no concern that his performance will steal the limelight of the movie.
Jin Xishan and Taylor are actually not technically members of the film crew, but their identities as Xueyuan Entertainment artists are also different from ordinary invited guests.
So their performance on stage today was not out of the ordinary.
The key point is that even Jin Xishan has a certain degree of popularity in the United States, and his works are not unfamiliar to people here.
As for Taylor, needless to say, she is the current little queen of the music industry. Both albums were sold out. Having her help promote the movie will only bring more attention to the movie.
During the rehearsal, people kept coming to visit. Because the nature of today's performance did not require high confidentiality, many people chose to stay and watch after obtaining Liu Qingshan's permission.
These people do not have a strong need to watch stage performances, but rather value the opportunity to have further contact with Liu Qingshan during rehearsal breaks.
There have been no mistakes in the scripts written by him so far, and some of them have even made the leading actors and actresses completely popular.
For example, in the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", although the male and female protagonists were already very popular before, it is an indisputable fact that they only became popular after that movie.
Another example is "The Irishman". Several of the big names in the film had already become famous and did not need to become famous. However, the film eventually won multiple awards and pioneered many types of film special effects. Its artistic level was recognized by major Recognized by the film festival market.
There are also musicals like "Chicago" that have become popular around the world, and as a result, a large number of musical artist titles have been born.
This does not include "Avatar," which set a new global box office record, and "The King's Speech," which won several Oscars.
There are too many examples of his works becoming famous, so actors have taken a fancy to his star-making ability, and capital has taken a liking to the huge money-making ability of scripts, so people from all walks of life have appeared one after another.
As for why Liu Qingshan had to wait until he came to the United States to perform, this is actually not a secret, because only those who are closest to him have the possibility of traveling across the ocean to China to obtain the script.
And his personal number can be found accurately. Only those people have it. The possibility of finding him through his work phone is very low.
It’s not that there are people from the film company who have been staying at the Lotus Hotel in the Snowland all year round, but even if they become familiar with each other, they are far from being able to get his script. Only the big boss of the company can come forward and maybe get a response.
But among the eight big movie studio bosses in Hollywood, which one is a leisurely person?
So much time to go to China to work on a script.
In short, for most people, being able to stay in the theater to watch the rehearsal today is at least a kind of recognition.
Even if he didn't get the promise of cooperation in the end, he would at least have a face-to-face communication opportunity with his Hollywood spokesperson Martin and his season film collaboration team.
It is well known that Liu Qingshan has a close working relationship with Season. If you cannot get the script directly from him, it will undoubtedly be a big gain to get on Season's boat.
This also resulted in Liu Qingshan being extremely busy for almost half the afternoon.
However, he did not feel much discomfort. On the contrary, it gave him a rare opportunity to communicate with relevant practitioners in Hollywood.
Of course, his script will never be released easily, and there is no need to worry about the complaints from these people behind his back.
After all, scripts are not assembly-line products, especially high-quality scripts, which require inspiration and a lot of creative time.
At six o'clock in the evening, the cast members and guests who had simply eaten would gather outside the theater to wait for the red carpet ceremony.
This is why Liu Qingshan's works can receive such treatment. Otherwise, any new film released outside Hollywood would never receive such preferential treatment.
But it is undeniable that Universal Company, as the organizer and live broadcaster, will not give people wedding clothes for no reason. Just because of the auction of the advertising position of this live broadcast, Global TV Station under the name of their group has obtained Huge gains.
This is before the premiere, and the real big revenue is the advertising breaks during the live broadcast.
In the United States, movie premieres are not only a commercial act, but also a traditional custom and a concentrated expression of people's entertainment spirit.
Especially when produced in Hollywood, almost every movie has a premiere, whether it is a small-budget film or a big-budget blockbuster, and the success of the premiere is almost directly proportional to the box office of the movie.
If a premiere is successful, the sensation it creates is often unexpected, and if a premiere is messed up, it will have a direct impact on the box office.
The unique premiere ceremony is not only more convincing than blunt advertisements, but also more direct and valuable than advertisements. In many cases, it also brings celebrities, actors and movie fans into close contact.
As a result, a whole set of premiere operating models has emerged, and a large number of stakeholders have emerged around the movie premiere from planning, creativity, production and related ancillary work. ..
It can be seen that premieres are similar to the model of large investment, large marketing, and large returns for movies, and there are enough benefits to be obtained.
At this point in time, the scale of the premiere truly showed. Today, not only everyone who showed up in the afternoon appeared on the red carpet, but there were also at least hundreds of Hollywood stars.
Most of the people here acted independently without being invited, but they came on their own with the approval of the organizer in advance.
This situation is a bit like a premiere in Hong Kong. As the main beneficiary, Liu Qingshan naturally has to show excitement like being flattered.
He even has to express enough kindness to everyone, because he must be an outsider, and respect for local snakes is a must. At this moment, it has nothing to do with his personal ability.
Later, facing the host on the red carpet, he did not show much prominence, but deliberately made several main supporting characters the protagonists.
Although fans on both sides of the red carpet were a little dissatisfied with his low profile, they all knew that Liu Qingshan's subsequent performance was the moment when his starry aura blossomed.
This inner expectation of fans is naturally driven by the public opinion from Qingshan Bar on the Internet, including the audience in front of the TV watching the live broadcast, they all know that there is such a performance.
Even though he has not appeared here for a long time, Liu Qingshan's live performances have always been synonymous with famous scenes, and even his fans are also looking forward to what kind of performance he will have.
The XY girl group appeared on the stage as the opening guests, and their
The song "Ode to Loneliness" appeared on the stage again.
Even though few people can understand the Chinese lyrics, the beautiful images of the girl group members with unique oriental charm are far more attractive than the work itself.
Moreover, their appearance is completely different from that of the Hanguo girl group who performed here before. Not only do each of them have a pure and natural appearance without any modification, but their uniform tallness and professional dancing postures make the whole performance even better. It can better reflect the tacit understanding and appreciation of the overall cooperation.
In particular, this purely oriental stage performance method is something that Western society has rarely been exposed to. It not only satisfies their sense of novelty, but also shows the unique charm of oriental women at a glance.
Therefore, in the eyes of these foreigners, the performance of the girl group is a highly artistic musical, and the quality of the performance also exceeds the previous cognitive scope of the image of the girl group.
As a result, the on-site effect was excellent. Judging from the audience's reaction, it was obvious that it was a visual enjoyment for them.
Then came Taylor's appearance.
To the American audience, what she brought today is a new song, but to the Chinese, it is an old song.
It is the English version of "Soju Song". This is the English version that Taylor strongly requested after watching Liu Qingshan and Chen Yixun's Hong Kong performance.
Not only does she like the magical melody of this song, but she also understands that this type of explosive song is more suitable for occasions like concerts.
And she is a quite pure singer. In addition to participating in a few variety shows, her main job is to perform a large number of solo concerts to meet market requirements.
There is no doubt that this song is perfect for such an occasion, as it can easily arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.
