Chapter 678 Shining in Seoul

The weather in Seoul in November was slightly cold. Lin Han took off his suitcase. After putting on his windbreaker, he walked out with Miao Hong.

This time, only the two of them came to Seoul to attend the upcoming World Science Fiction Film Festival. They did not bring a translation, but communicated directly with the organizers of the film festival.

The huge English name at the pick-up office made many reporters stop. They probably knew that "The Matrix" would appear at this time, so when Lin Han showed up, he was dazzled by the flash!

There is no cross between two people, and it doesn't seem like a top figure at this scale, but the media treatment he received several times that of the rest of them.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Zhou Chao, the staff member of the film festival organizer. I will always be your guide and assistant during the film festival. There are already cars waiting outside, so let's go to the hotel we are staying at first!"

The Zhou Dynasty was a Korean Chinese and could speak three languages: Chinese, English and Korean, so it was sent to receive Lin Han and his group.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Lin Han did not accept interviews from reporters. He was a little tired when taking a plane, especially when the flight was delayed!

The streets of Seoul look very prosperous, with a thick autumn atmosphere, and leaves piled up around the trunks.

The pedestrians on the road were also wrapped in autumn clothes. Whenever the wind blew, the dead leaves on the branches would flutter around.

After more than forty minutes, they finally arrived at the hotel designated by the conference, and Lin Han's sleepiness basically reached its peak!

"Gentlemen, the opening ceremony will be held at 7 o'clock tonight, and a special car will come to the hotel to pick you up. The opening video of the film festival is "Hanjiang Monster", which is the daily screening arrangement of the film festival. If you need it, please contact me."

Lin Han and Miao Hong took this time and location schedule, and he said to Zhou Chao: "Thank you, we know. See you in the evening!"

Zhou Chao waved his hand and took the elevator to leave, while Lin Han opened his door with the room card. He said to Miao Hong: "Lao Miao, now it seems that Korean sticks want to play tricks."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Miao Hong was confused. He hadn't seen any signs yet.

Lin Han sat on the sofa and handed the screening schedule to Miao Hong, "The screening time of our movie is actually the same as the opening film!"

In terms of the complete screening schedule announced by the Film Festival Organizing Committee, they will reasonably arrange 12 science fiction feature films, 12 science fiction short films and 10 science fiction documentaries in the main competition unit within a few days, and it is also possible to imagine that there are 8 special screenings and 8 midnight screenings.

No matter what perspective it looks at, "The Matrix" should not be treated like this!

In terms of investment, Galaxy Pictures spent 200 million yuan on this movie.

In terms of fame, the novel adapted from the script "The Matrix" is best-selling in the world, and its sales volume and discussions are high in countries around the world. It is the most popular science fiction novel this year and one of the most anticipated science fiction films this year!

In terms of cast, Xu Jiayan, the Asian superstar actor, serves as the villain. Shen Yanling was once a famous Asian character and has played many classic roles. Although Rong Feiyu is a little worse, he is also an old actor, and only Neo, who plays the protagonist, is a little worse.

Even in terms of media attention, none of the entire film festival can defeat "The Matrix"!

There are obviously so many advantages, but they are arranged at the same time as the opening film. Are the audience willing to miss the red carpet and the premiere of "Hanjiang Monster"?

Are the media willing to miss this opportunity?

It is obvious that "The Matrix" can be staggered with the films in the main competition unit in the next few days, but the Koreans just did it, blatantly!

"How dare they!" Miao Hong was so angry that he shivered. Even if films like "The Matrix" were placed in Cannes, Berlin, and Venice, they would not be treated like this now!

In September, the Venice Film Festival had contacted Lin Han to see if we could invite the Matrix to premiere at their film festival, even if we don’t participate in the main competition.

Unfortunately, the movie had just entered post-production at that time, so it was too late for Lin Han to politely decline.

The commercialization of the Venice Film Festival has become more and more obvious in recent years. In addition, Lin Han has won the Best Screenwriter Award at the Venice Film Festival, so the communication between the two sides is very good.

He was able to take on the heavy responsibility of all three major European film festivals, but was underestimated by this world science fiction film festival. This treatment is probably the worst among the 12 main competition units!

"Boss, it's all my fault. They shouldn't have insisted on participating in this film festival. They were too much!" Miao Hong regretted it a little. He was trampled by Koreans when he came to participate in the film festival.

Lin Han now made his fingers clear and loud, "It's not your fault, I'm here to participate. Haha, in fact, I only realized how good the quality of the movie is when I saw this situation. If I didn't threaten them, I would never do such a thing. It must be that the judges felt that it was very good after watching the video, which caused the Korean sticks to feel that it was very dangerous!"

Miao Hong never wants to deal with Koreans anymore in his life. He said cautiously: "When the movie is being screened tonight, wouldn't they also make trouble? For example, a sudden power outage or a broadcast accident or something?"

"Hopefully not. If this happens, we might as well rent a cinema next to us to play "The Matrix" specifically!"

...

Night soon came. Lin Han changed into the suit he brought, tied his bow tie and got into a special car to the movie palace. At this time, many Korean stars were already staying on the red carpet.

But the moment Lin Han stepped on the red carpet, the idle media instantly became active, and the actors who were flirting with each other suddenly found that no one was taking pictures of their poses!

Even local Korean journalists have never given these stars any care. They almost all face Lin Han who is striding towards him!

The sound of shutters was clattering one after another, and Lin Han didn't stop at all. He just waved his hand. He even surpassed the Korean actresses who were walking on the red carpet like a snail.

After meeting with Miao Hong, Lin Han did not go to the largest cinema to watch "Hanjiang Monster", but followed the road sign to the screening hall of "The Matrix". This screening hall seemed to be able to accommodate one or two hundred people, and there was no detailed sign at the door!

Fortunately, Miao Hong had already printed the poster in the afternoon. The two of them used tape to paste the Shanghai poster before they were finished. At least they had to let others know which movie was being screened here.

"How many people will come to see our movies?" Miao Hong was a little worried. Without a signboard, he encountered Korean local movies. This treatment should not be even more miserable.

Lin Han touched his chin, and he smiled and said, "It's up to you as much as you can. I found out that the time schedule has been published online. Those who are willing to watch our movie will pay attention to this time."

Zhou Chao on one side felt quite ashamed of being despised and neglected. He looked at the empty seats in the screening hall and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lin, otherwise I'll find someone outside to come over. There will definitely be someone who is willing to watch this movie!"

"It was officially released at 8 o'clock, and there is still half an hour left now, don't worry." Lin Han looked confident, but in fact he was not worried about this.

Sure enough, as time approached, one audience after another walked towards this side, many of them were reporters carrying photography equipment!

Instead of attending the premiere of "Hanjiang Monster", they came to "The Matrix"!

Following these reporters were many movie lovers, who were talking and laughing, and some even trotted all the way, fearing that there would be no place.

The screening hall with nearly 200 people was gradually filled, and Miao Hong began to pray that everything would go smoothly.

"What did the film festival organizing committee think? Why only the film room such a small screening room in "The Matrix"?" A reporter communicated with his colleagues next to him in English.

The white photographer with high nose and blue eyes shook his head. He took this time to use his laptop to surf the Internet and sent the photos back to the editorial department, and replied: "This is not very clear. I am not optimistic about this video winning the award."

"Lin Han is also on the scene. He looks like an actor, not like a writer or director."

The audience behind were chattering and discussing, not only many Asian faces, but also some European and Americans sat in the back.

"Why are we here to watch "The Matrix"? Jin Zhi and Oppa, my friends and they all went to watch "Hanjiang Monster"!"

"What does this movie talk about? Can Chinese make good science fiction movies?"

"There are so few people, I feel a little regretful now. Let's just go out!"

"Senior Kang Taehyung, we plan to go to the "Hanjiang Monster" screening room next to us, and see you later!"

"Zhongyuan, remember to come to the parking lot to find me."

After saying hello, the young man An Zhongyuan was about to get up and leave. When he stood up, he suddenly found that there were not all seats left!

When he walked through the passage and came to the entrance of the screening hall, An Zhongyuan suddenly found that there were many people standing at the door, and the guard sealed the entrance and prevented people from entering.

"Uncle, please let me in!"

"Uncle, we have been queuing for a long time to watch this "The Matrix". If there is no seat, it's okay to sit in the aisle and it will never affect others."

These young people begged, and if they had known, they would have run faster, but now they can't enter the screening hall!

An Zhongyuan paused, and he immediately said to his companion: "Let's go back, you'll finally have a seat."

When Kang Taehyung saw An Jung-won returning, he asked: "Aren't you going to watch "Hanjiang Monster"? Why are you back?"

"Many people outside are waiting in line to watch the next show. Maybe this is a wonderful movie. I will watch "Hanjiang Monster" in the future."

As soon as the words were finished, the lights in the screening room dimmed, the big screen lit up, and "The Matrix" officially unveiled its mysterious veil!
Chapter completed!
