375: Applause for the opponent
Li Donglai has not returned to the United States yet. He still has an important itinerary today. Only after this trip can he go back with peace of mind. Otherwise, even if he goes back, he will feel uneasy.
The most expensive movie in history, "Avatar", held its global premiere in London today. As the "king of the world", James Cameron, as the president of the "king of the world", as the army of visual effects technology, biological design, motion capture, stunt actors, dancers, actors, music and sound army, he was just a step behind Li Donglai, but he has never been timid. He doesn't need to be timid, even in the face of the momentum of "Inception" today.
Tonight, he will bring science fiction into the 21st century in a daze, which is "Avatar".
The London premiere was very popular just fine because it was night, and the huge blue neon lights with the words "Avatar" printed on the outside were even more dazzling. Before I could enter, I heard the grand symphony constantly recalling the scene. It was shocking and exciting.
The male star Sam Worthington made a handsome appearance with a female companion, and the female star Zoe Saldana wore a silver fishtail dress with a graceful figure. Dr. Augustine's actor Sigourney Weaver wore a black off-shoulder dress with a charm. The male star Raz Alonso, Stephen Long and others were all present.
Actress Louise Winston wore a green sequined skirt, shining the audience. George Clooney's old love Lisa Snoughton wore a black short skirt, red lips echoing up and down. Male singer James Blunt, sexy girl group thesaturdays and many stars came to support the show.
The stars shine like today's night sky.
However, at the moment when many stars shine most, another scream came from outside the field.
A London reporter rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He thought he was dazzled. Then more screams came from the scene, and fans outside the venue were attracted by the burst of exclamations. When they saw the people coming in the venue clearly, they were in a panic.
"Ah! Li Donglai! Li Donglai!"
Unbelievable characters come to support them.
On the red carpet, Li Donglai was wearing an Armani tailor-made suit. The gray and white wool velvet color, a suit that combines retro and modernity, and a pure British style. The solid muscles on the upper body set off the suit very hard. The look was full of brilliance and chic! (Look at 007 Bond's clothes)
"Oh Maiga, he is sure he has gone to the wrong place?" Karen, a reporter from Le Monde, shook his head and said in a speechless manner.
Li Donglai responded with a smile to the lively crowd on both sides, and from time to time to meet the requirements of the fans holding the signature board. He walked firmly into the depths of the red carpet. He was sure that he had not taken the wrong path. When he reached the end of the red carpet, the male lead Sam Worthington, the female lead Zoe Saldana and others were surprised, and most of the others had the same expression. Only Cameron smiled on his face, and was the first to walk over with a smile. As the host, he gave the guests who came to support him, "Welcome, I thought you would let me go."
Li Donglai was flattered and laughed and said, "You are a great god, how dare I let you go? I will definitely come if I say I want to come!"
Seeing Cameron greeting him so naturally, it seemed that he had known that Li Donglai would come.
Crack, Crack, Crack...
The flashing lights suddenly flashed wildly on the scene, and the love was full of emotions! It was so exciting. Li Donglai deserves to be a news manufacturer.
Cameron, with a calm look on his face, introduced his wife to him and the starring actor of the film.
Li Donglai hugged the male lead Sam Worthington and said, "You acted great, this will be a classic movie." Sam was very surprised, "Have you seen the movie?" Li Donglai nodded and said, "Yes. I have seen some of them before. Don't forget that Mr. Cameron is also the technical director of "Inception"."
"Inception" is now the source of popularity. Cameron was very happy to hear Li Donglai say this, and he had a little more smile on his face.
If "Inception" was still a sloppy person who wanted to tie the master's "Avatar" with the great master's "Avatar" to get the light of the master, then no one would think so after "Inception" was released globally and achieved a series of jaw-dropping results. Li Donglai came to support his opponent "Avatar" at this moment, which was definitely a matter of gaining face... because of his identity.
Li Donglai, one of the two films that have always been exaggerated by the media, came to support his opponents. He has invisibly promoted "Avatar" and also brought the competition between the two films to a friendly level.
Of course competition will exist, but in the future it will only be fair competition, and there will be no hope of media as the media expects to be dead. Just like a gentleman and a gentleman, do you expect them to fight?
...
"Li Donglai, Li Donglai, are you here to attend the premiere of "Avatar"? Are you here to find out the enemy?" A reporter from The Sun asked in a lewd manner. Li Dong looked at the silver-haired god who was smiling on the side, shrugged helplessly at the god, and smiled: "That's right, in fact, I had watched half of the original movies before Mr. Cameron's movie was completely taken. I was shocked at the time. Now that my own movie has been released, I am still used to compare with Mr. Cameron, which makes me flattered. But I always put myself in the position of a student and dare not compare it to the great god."
"Are you saying "Inception" is not as good as "Avatar"?" The reporter threw out another sharp question.
Li Donglai laughed and shook his head and said, "This is not a problem. Although both movies are big 3D productions, the movie stories are not the same type. Perhaps there are high or low in box office, but they are actually not comparable. But today I came here, I still want to recommend "Avatar". With my character as a guarantee, it is also a movie destined to be written into the history of film."
Cameron was very satisfied with Li Donglai's words, but he didn't make him too embarrassed. He waved his hand and entered the venue!
The whole movie is indeed a huge surprise experience. The new 3D technology allows directors to make movies like sand table deductions. Cameron should be the milestone of 3D movies. All Li Donglai's skills are their own, and he just spent US dollars.
Especially the final battle lasted 20 minutes, which was extremely shocking...unstoppable. Even with the jade in "Inception", it would not be overwhelmed. The audience was completely brought into the film to integrate the characters and the story was integrated. Full of imagination, the CG was very realistic. Sam Worthington's performance was impressive. Although Zoe Sadana did not show up, the performance she performed through CG animation was also impressive.
If the film has weaknesses, then the only weakness is the story. Putting aside the technical level, this story is actually not very good. There are already many similar stories, and everything is expected.
After watching the movie, Li Donglai finally had a scheming in his mind, "It is more technically stronger than "Inception" and slightly weaker in the story!" This is his evaluation, and it can be expected that the media will comment on them tomorrow.
But he wouldn't say this to others.
Facing the microphone of the reporter who frantically came to him, a special audience after watching the movie, he talked: "Just as I said before entering the cinema, this time I watched the whole article, and I guaranteed that I would not be wrong with my character. This epic masterpiece that lasted more than ten years, presented a unique and grand scene, a spectacular vision, an exciting narrative and a theme of returning to nature. This is a 12 years after the emergence of "Titanic" and the global box office champion, Cameron once again dedicated a movie that will attract global attention..."
"...You ask about the box office? A good movie is worth a good box office, and everyone competes fairly. In fact, no matter what the result is, I am a winner. Because I am only 24 years old this year."
...
Whether it is a show or it is really so respected.
But Li Donglai took the initiative to show good deeds and guided the topic of competition to the front. At least it was much better than Cameron quietly putting on makeup and watching movies. He was openly understanding the enemy situation.
Everything is two-sided, and when "Avatar" is also very good, this two-sidedness is even more prominent. Some media say that the Chinese are too cunning and have to hold the big and thick legs of the gods. Some people say that the virtue of modesty of Chinese people is carried forward by Li Donglai, and he is as polite as Yao. The modest Chinese are.
Just like the crazy thing of the previous week, this week, in addition to "Inception", there is another "Avatar".
"Avatar", a "one-century" film, was airborne in more than 3,900 theaters in North America this weekend. The opening numbers of the first week were similar to last week's "Inception", both of which were implicitly opened.
As Li Donglai expected, the media attracted attention from the competition cards. The reports were varied, but they were exactly the same as what Li Donglai had predicted before.
After ten days of "Inception" on major movie websites, the scores on forums are still high. In this regard, "Avatar" is slightly inferior. The score is not as crazy as "Inception", but the score is definitely not low, and it is also a strong competitor on the top 10.
"Avatar" is temporarily ranked 9th in this regard in imdb score: 8.910, top250. Rotten tomatoes freshness: 83%, Douban score: 8.910, Time Network score: 9.010, Yahoo user comprehensive review: a, Yahoo media comprehensive review: a, boxofficemojo: b+.
It showed strong strength, but now it seems that "Inception" is better.
However, the final result is not easy to say. The content of "Inception" is amazing, but the IQ is a little too high. "Avatar" is enough for novices. There are many examples of novices winning the box office movies in this world. What will fans choose depends on the specific numbers.
The total box office in North America in 2009 has now reached US$9.95 billion, and Christmas has not yet arrived. The three large-scale works, "Alvin and the Chipmunk 2", "Shelmes", and "Love is Complex" have not yet shown their strengths.
But it did not affect the expected annual output value of US$10.5 billion in the North American film market. Because this weekend, it was not a movie, but two movies exploded at the same time!
"It's so happy. There were no blockbusters to watch in the past few months. I didn't expect that there would be two movies today. Oh, God, you're so difficult, what should I choose?" movie fan Roger wailed in the ticket hall of the theater.
"Just just read it once!" A female voice suddenly reminded next to her.
A word woke up the dreamer. Roger's eyes lit up and he was about to buy a ticket immediately. When he looked back, he found that he was still a beautiful girl and he was even happier. "Hey, thank you for your reminder. Which movie do you want to watch first?" The beautiful girl gave him a slightly blank look and said, "There is no choice anymore. The tickets for "Inception" have been sold out. I am buying "Avatar" in the midnight period."
"How is it?" Roger boldly sent out the invitation. The girl raised her eyebrows and raised her chin slightly, "I like to drink Coke, Pepsi."
"Ok!"
