Disaster Artist

"what!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Ah!"

When "Entertainment Weekly" reporter Jiang Shiqi arrived at Boxi Avenue, there was a hustle and bustle of shouts in the air, but not the screaming and roaring of the heat wave, but the rustling of bluffing, the whole scale It is different, but I can also feel the hustle and bustle of the body temperature starting to rise.

Tonight is the premiere of "The Raid". According to the official announcement of Blue Whale Pictures, the premiere was arranged at the Dome Cinema.

Before departure, Jiang Shiqi had been a little worried, because the premiere of "Boss Overspeed" had just ended, whether the premiere of "Raid" would be affected——

The same is true. You can see the size of the audience when you arrive at the scene, which is indeed not on the same level as "Boss Overspeeding"; but surprisingly, the gap is not as big as imagined, and you can also see Boxi Avenue when you look around. The surging crowd of thousands of people is enough for bystanders.

The liveliness of three thousand people is lively, and the liveliness of one thousand people is lively, anyway, it is difficult to see the difference from the live photos.

But in the eyes of the layman, if this is an audience specially "hired" by Blue Whale Pictures, then we must admire the foresight and wisdom of Blue Whale Pictures.

After all, everyone knows that tonight's "Boss Overdrive" will be fully released.

Even if the word of mouth of the premiere is far below expectations, the pre-publicity of Streamer Films and Fan Li's fan effect still have a certain appeal; and, no matter how good or bad, the audience always has to go to the cinema to watch it in person before they can make it. Judging, this also means that the focus of tonight's attention should be disturbed by the "boss speeding"——

The word-of-mouth of ordinary audiences is about to be lifted, and the attention will inevitably be crowded, and a group of fans are about to rush to the hot search battlefield to show their skills.

Not to mention, the Xia Qiao Cinema, which is also located on Boxi Avenue, is full of crowds. The enthusiastic fans ignored the influence of the Wednesday working day and rushed into the cinema after get off work, looking forward to confirming the quality of "Boss Overspeeding" with their own eyes as soon as possible. .

The constant flow of people is not inferior to the dome theater on the other side of the street.

Assuming that Blue Whale Pictures anticipated such a situation, made preparations in advance, hired extras to fill the scene, and ensured that the media reporters could capture the scene of the crowd, it would be admirable and a brilliant move.

Of course, there may also be enthusiastic fans gathered because of the retro action movie retrospective. Never underestimate the appeal of the Dome Cinema in Lanchuan. There are far more senior fans hidden in the crowd than imagined.

Jiang Shiqi took a step towards the dome theater, keenly observed left and right, grasped the scene situation, and then found that the curiosity of the media was also higher than expected, and more than fifty or sixty reporters could be seen before and after. Rough calculation, there should be three-digit reporters present tonight.

Attention is also higher than expected -

"Unfriend" director's new work, coupled with the head-on collision of "Boss Overdrive", is very attractive to the media anyway, and who wants to miss "'The Raid' Premiere VS 'Boss Overdrive' What about the wonderful counterpoint of "released"?

Maybe the scale of reporters tonight will not be inferior to that of Xia Qiao Cinema on Monday, and it is estimated that they are all here to watch the fun.

Jiang Shiqi's attention was immediately attracted by the scene in front of him just as he started to walk.

At this time, Boxi Avenue has been transformed into a gallery, with a bright red carpet in the center, and small pavilions in the shape of red telephone booths standing on the left and right sides. You can see the audience arriving at the premiere. The bustling crowd gathered in front of the small pavilion, looking excited and beaming.

The expressions of the audience coming and going were bright, and compared to the Xia Qiao Cinema, which was more than half a street behind, it was more lively, vivid and lively. It was not like a premiere at all, but more like... a film festival.

Jiang Shiqi wasn't quite sure whether his judgment was correct, but the heart in his chest couldn't help but move, Jiang Shiqi also quickened his pace a little, and the front of the small pavilion slowly came into view——

"The Heroine".

There is a poster of "Chivalrous Girl" hanging directly above, and there is a bus stop sign marked with the word "Chivalrous Girl". What does this mean?

"Chivalrous Girl" has been around for nearly half a century. Although it is not the first action movie, it is the first movie to bring action movies into the public eye, from martial arts design to lens language to storytelling. Jianghu chivalry has indeed created an entire era.

To this day, "Chivalrous Girl" is still regarded as a legendary classic in action movies. Unfortunately, because of the age, it is really difficult to restore the film, so we have never been able to see a better quality version. In this retrospective exhibition beyond the cinema There is no such movie.

But what does it mean to be here at this time?

Jiang Shiqi quickly stepped forward in three steps, showed his press card, and was about to directly inquire about the situation of the small pavilion, but was stopped by the staff. Before the staff could speak, the audience next to him protested. , "Please queue up", "Reporters also need to queue up".

Jiang Shiqi was stunned. It was the first time he heard that he had to queue for the premiere. Why?

"Please line up." The staff also explained, "All the audiences who come to the premiere need to line up, but if you are not interested in the light and shadow corridor, you can go straight all the way, and then you can arrive at the premiere. , where there are reporters' interview areas and photo-taking areas."

Light and shadow corridor?

Jiang Shiqi couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and thought for a while, then closed his mouth, stood obediently at the tail of the team, and began to line up.

"Reporter Jiang, what are you doing here?"

A colleague just arrived at the scene and raised his voice to say hello. Jiang Shiqi explained it. Obviously, this senior reporter from "Inside the Movie" had never seen such a battle, so he thought for a moment.

"You line up here first, I'll go to the entrance of the Dome Cinema to see what's going on~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Then I can see this reporter hurriedly walking forward, and his back disappears into the surging crowd in a blink of an eye.

Even experienced reporters are in a fog, let alone ordinary audiences?

Jiang Shiqi felt a little miraculous, no, it should be very miraculous—

Previously, the "raid" had been prepared for a large-scale public screening, and the results were reduced to a small-scale screening. In the eyes of industry insiders, such a strategy is a strategic retreat, timely stop loss, and avoidance of sharp edges. According to such a strategy, then the premiere The scale of the formula should also be reduced accordingly.

But now?

Jiang Shiqi's head was full of question marks, but his anticipation and curiosity were faintly burning. Before he knew it, the excitement of Xia Qiao's theater had been completely forgotten, and all his attention was focused on the front.

Fortunately, the queue in front of the small pavilion was not long, and in a blink of an eye it was Jiang Shiqi's turn, thumping, his heart couldn't help beating wildly, and his steps accelerated uncontrollably, inadvertently showing a little urgency.
