Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

As we approach the end of January and the year draws to a close, the promotion of "The Wandering Earth" has entered its third and final phase.

Gu Zhiyan and others participated in online micro-interviews on major online social platforms, interacting directly with a massive number of users.

At the same time, major ticketing platforms have officially launched movie ticket pre-sales.

On January 28, "The Wandering Earth" held its national premiere. In addition to dozens of screenings arranged at the main venue in Beijing, the film also premiered simultaneously in eight other cities, including Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, in an effort to spread word-of-mouth to the public through a large-scale premiere.

For this premiere, Gu Zhiyan extended invitations to many people. Except for a very few who were unable to attend, almost all the older and younger female friends and industry acquaintances were present.

This made Guo Fan extremely happy. Brother Yan is indeed Brother Yan, awesome!

Casting Gu Zhiyan in the film was the best decision he ever made. He not only provided the money and the actor, but it also brought huge benefits to the film's promotion and screenings.

Regardless of whether people are optimistic or pessimistic about the sci-fi movies starring Gu Zhiyan, his fans will wholeheartedly support him. Moreover, the number of casual viewers who plan to go to the cinema because of Gu Zhiyan's undefeated record and the golden brand he has built is also quite large.

Although theaters had reservations about science fiction films, they still managed to secure a screening slot that satisfied Guo Fan thanks to Gu Zhiyan's starring role.

This is the powerful appeal of the only top-tier celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry, a box office star with 15 billion yuan.

Uncle Da also attended the premiere despite being ill.

He looked worse than when he was filming "The Wandering Earth".

He himself was quite open-minded, cheerfully saying that it was great to be able to see "The Wandering Earth" released, and that he could die without regrets.

Gu Zhiyan exchanged pleasantries with Uncle Da for a while, and then, with Zhao Jinmai following behind, went to greet the guests who came to attend the premiere.

Zhao Jinmai was dazzled by the sight of so many beautiful older women.

Wow, Yang Mi has such a great figure.

Wow, Sister Liying is so gentle.

Wow, the fairy sister is so beautiful.

Wow, Yitong's smile is so beautiful.

……

Zhao Jinmai finally understood why her brother said she was still too young; compared to these charming older women, she was indeed still young.

However, she was not discouraged. She was still young, so she would just grow up quickly.

The older and younger women naturally felt very kind towards this cute and sweet-talking girl.

It's clear that Gu Zhiyan dotes on this little sister.

This is also a case of loving the house because of its owner.

The older women couldn't possibly feel jealous of a little girl who was still underage.

Unaware of the enormity of Zhao Jinmai, she was unaware of the vast network of connections she had built up at the premiere.

The biggest highlight of the premiere was not the glamorous stars, but the experts and heroes from the aerospace field.

Engineers and scientists from institutions such as China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as aerospace heroes such as Yang Liwei, Liu Boming, Zhang Xiaoguang, and Wang Yaping, also attended the premiere of "The Wandering Earth".

This recognition from the real aerospace field later became an important part of the film's promotion and audience word-of-mouth.

As guests, media, and audience members arrived one after another, the premiere officially began.

The pre-premiere publicity focused on establishing a "heavy industrial feel," while the event itself shifted its focus to "emotion and dreams."

The main creators took the stage to share the arduous four-year production process, emphasizing behind-the-scenes stories such as "crossing the river by feeling the stones," funding shortages, Wu Mengda filming while ill, and Gu Zhiyan "bringing investment to the production team."

Guo Fan is an excellent speaker and storyteller, and the audience listened with great interest, never getting bored.

He even went so far as to boast about Gu Zhiyan. Well, after Wu Jing and Xu Zheng, another "Gu fanboy" has appeared.

In fact, almost all the directors who have worked with Gu Zhiyan have praised him highly, but none of them have praised him as much as these three people.

Xiao Yan's reputation for being a good actor and a righteous person was built up little by little in this way.

After Guo Fan and others shared their creative experiences, the media turned their attention to the group of actors.

As the biggest star of the film, Gu Zhiyan was naturally the focus of media attention, and the vast majority of questions were directed at him.

"Gu Zhiyan, why did you decide to participate in 'The Wandering Earth,' a science fiction film that wasn't initially well-received?"

Gu Zhiyan: "Director Guo, the lead actor, is too good at persuading me. He talked me into a daze, and I accepted the role without really understanding what was going on."

A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the audience.

With the film's promotion, Guo Fan's reputation as "Cyber ​​Daji" and "Master of Deception" has spread far and wide.

Guo Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly. Back then, Gu Zhiyan didn't show any emotional fluctuation at all, which made him think that there was no chance.

Gu Zhiyan waved his hand and continued, "Haha, just kidding. I'm not that easily fooled. The main thing is that I saw their dedication and sincerity. They really want to make a science fiction film of their own and are willing to put their heart and soul into it. It's an honor for me to participate in such a film."

"If you were to rate this movie, how would you rate it?"

Gu Zhiyan: "A milestone in Chinese science fiction films."

This answer immediately sparked whispers among the audience.

This evaluation is too high; so high that many people think Gu Zhiyan is bragging.

"It seems Professor Gu has a very high opinion of this film. Could you predict its box office performance?"

It seems the media still remembers Gu Zhiyan's prediction of "Wolf Warrior 2's" box office performance!

Gu Zhiyan: "Fifty billion, I guess."

In its previous life, this movie ultimately grossed over 48 billion yuan. It seems that breaking 5 billion yuan now would not be a problem, and even 6 billion yuan is not impossible.

The Wandering Earth has that potential!

Before Guo Fan could even speak to stop him, Gu Zhiyan's words had already slipped out.

Although he was confident in the film, five billion was a figure he never dared to dream of.

Brother Yan, you really dare to speak up!

As soon as Gu Zhiyan said this, the scene erupted in uproar.

Chinese science fiction films?

Five billion?

This satellite is even bigger than the one in "Wolf Warrior 2"!

With the sensational topic of "5 billion" already out there, other issues seem rather uninteresting.

The media started writing articles on the spot, and they were quick to grab the first wave of attention.

The older and younger sisters are already thinking about booking out the entire venue to support Xiaoyan, determined not to let him be laughed at.

Gu Zhiyan looked at the reactions of the crowd below the stage, her expression unchanged and calm.

Let's show everyone the amazing impact of this little broken ball!

After the Q&A session ended, the movie began, and everyone in the audience was quickly drawn to the large screen.

Meanwhile, the first batch of reports from the media at the scene had already been published.

Gu Zhiyan confidently predicts that "The Wandering Earth" will surpass 5 billion yuan at the box office.

Topics related to Gu Zhiyan never lack traffic, and related topics often trend on social media.
