The building at No. 32 on the Bund of Mordor is submerged in the skyline of historical charm, which is not conspicuous. But in fact, it is just completed in 2009. It is also the only new building on the Bund in 60 years, which reproduces the golden age style of "Oriental Bali".
When the building began construction, it attracted countless people's criticism and doubt, worried that this building would damage the unique scenery of the Bund, and even someone once commented, "if you look around, you can't see that it's a new building, that's success." And now it turns out, it worked.
Here is the Peninsula Hotel, a new and retro building, which is gradually becoming another postcard of the city.
Today, the premiere press conference of gravity will be held here. It can be seen from the specifications and treatment that this time the public relations company still spent a lot of thought, and each activity arrangement has a corresponding theme, which is really rare. Compared with the hasty handling of the premiere in North America, the premiere in the mainland has become different because of the existence of lanli.
However, before going to the Peninsula Hotel, lanli and his party took the lead in stopping at the Bund ferry.
In the past three consecutive days, the mainland PR company responsible for the premiere held a small roadshow on the Bund to warm up the official premiere tonight. They chose the Oriental Pearl Tower Square and built a so-called "space experience warehouse" on the square. The name sounds very mysterious, but in fact it is a comprehensive visual experience room.
The design inspiration comes from the Observatory's observatory, which creates the experience effect of being in the universe with multiple visual and auditory experiences. Unfortunately, VR technology is not yet mature, and there is no way to apply it to commercial promotion. Otherwise, with the "gravity" film visual effects, it can also create a more realistic experience.
After Lan Li learned, he asked to go to the scene.
First, there is still enough time for the press conference; Secondly, the road show site is not far away from the Peninsula Hotel, even five minutes by car. So, Lan Li left the hotel ahead of time and went to the scene, hoping to give the fans a surprise.
This is a temporary trip, but after Gu Cailing contacted the company, she increased the security personnel in advance to make things happen as soon as possible. For Gu Cailing, this is a positive thing. The more activities Lan Li is willing to cooperate with, the more effective they will be; But it is also a bad thing to be in a hurry, breaking their pre deployment.
Far away, huge crowds of people on the Oriental Pearl Tower Square are glittering along the Huangpu River, because there is still a distance of relationship. The scene looks like the extension of the broad river, and the ripples and ripples slowly appear, and appear quiet and peaceful under the shallow sunlight.
But with the distance gradually approaching, the continuous vast crowd gradually becomes magnificent, as if from a winding tributary into a majestic River, the whole square is crowded, even the traffic police who are maintaining order on the road are busy and anxious.
"Such a scene is reminiscent of the new year's party in Times Square, New York." Although he had just experienced a long flight, lanli was in a good mental state and chatted in a relaxed tone.
Gu Cailing secretly glances at Andy, and then finds that Andy puts his hands on his belly and looks out of the window with interest. That expression reminds her of a sentence on the Internet: only when foreigners experience the sea of people in the mainland, can they really understand what is called a "populous country" all over the world, Probably only India can be compared.
As a result, Gu Cailing considered her tone and said, "isn't the new year's party in times square more grand? I've heard before that the number of participants is in the million level? "
As for the present scene, because the space of the Oriental Pearl Tower Square is really limited, the audience who gathered at the scene at present is at most three thousand people, and may not even be such a number.
"But it's not a new year's party, is it?" Lan Li joked with a smile, "what I am more curious about is that there are so many people every day during this roadshow? If so, I'm looking forward to the box office
In the last life, lanli lived in Mordor for many years. This is a city full of countless activities, but also a city full of artistic atmosphere.
If you are willing to go out of your social comfort zone, everyone can find their own group here and find resonance in their interests and hobbies. Movies are naturally part of it.
There are numerous film related activities held here every year. However, apart from the film festival in June, it is difficult for other premieres or roadshows to attract a large number of fans. The so-called "large number" here refers to more than 1000 people.
On the prosperity and bustle of the fan market, the imperial capital is still slightly better.
So at this moment in the square to see such a turbulent crowd, at least more than 2000 people, Lan Li is also inevitable some accident, this is half joking.
Then, Lan Li sees Gu Cailing's hesitating expression. Although she is trying to cover it up, she still can't escape from Lan Li's eyes.
Gu Cailing knows how to deal with it now, and denies it! Deny! Deny!
In the face of such a situation, she should naturally express a strong denial, and then politely say that because lanli's appeal in the mainland is different, it always creates topics, the grand event is expected, and the prospect of the film box office is also widely optimistic, such as this.
But looking at Lan Li's eyes, she couldn't say what she said. She just said, "in fact, when you just decided to come here, we temporarily posted a message on microblog, which is actually the combination of Twitter and Facebook in mainland China, calling on everyone to actively participate."
Imagine that if lanli appears at the scene temporarily, but only sees two or three kittens, that's the real disaster.
What public relations companies dislike most is emergency, because emergency means chaos, and chaos means disaster. For these top stars, it's just a slip of the tongue. They put forward a request lightly, but they need to be in a hurry, confused, and in a mess. In the end, they may not be able to get along well - this is definitely a high probability event.
Just after Lan Li changed her mind temporarily, Gu Cailing told the company and was scolded by her boss. She asked why she mentioned the roadshow. Then why she mentioned the roadshow was not far away from the press conference. If not, there would be no such thing; Not only that, the company's colleagues also nagged Lan Li to curse a meal.
The only lucky thing is that they don't need to be on the spot temporarily.
Because the grand occasion after lanli arrived at the airport spread all the way, they just need to call on the microblog, and then look for a few big size forwarding. The topic just soared like a rocket, and the turbulent crowd on the Bund immediately flocked to the roadshow scene. This has greatly reduced their work pressure.
Gu Cailing subconsciously avoided the line of sight, looked out of the window of the crowd, "did not expect, the crowd gathered so fast, the effect is far beyond expectations." Then, she showed a big smile, "now you can still see the heat of discussion on this film, and the film box office prospects are really worth looking forward to."
The blue Li gently jaw head expresses to understand.
There was a little silence in the carriage for a moment. Just as Gu Cailing thought that she had successfully passed the crisis, Lan Li's voice came again, "I think your colleagues must scold me behind my back. You should work hard to change your mind temporarily. Oh, please remember to thank them for their work for me. "
Gu Cailing's face was stunned, and her expression could hardly be concealed.
At this time, the car just stopped, the security personnel gathered quickly, opened the door, and then lanli got off without stopping.
Gu Cailing sat in the co driver's seat and suddenly felt a burst of joy. Instead of being nervous or afraid, she imagined her colleagues saying bad things behind her back but being arrested by Lan Li. She was so happy. Then, she came back to herself and got out of the car with her.
Everyone.
The memory of the last life is too far away. Lanli almost forgot the huge crowd in China, which was turbulent and hot, dense and arrogant. Not only the Spring Festival migration wave, but also the usual activity scene can feel the heat wave. Two thousand people can break out the carnival effect of five thousand people abroad.
This is the case at this time.
At the beginning, the audience didn't realize the appearance of lanli. Everyone was waiting impatiently and anxiously. The waiting time was so long that people began to get impatient. Unknowingly, the gray sky began to clear up, and the sunlight scattered down sparsely, but it still could not stop the strong wind by the river, so it created a kind of strange effect, which was stuffy and cold. I just felt that I would be swallowed by the weather.
When the first person realized the appearance of lanli, the scream broke away from the shackles of his throat, and then the whole audience began to explode. In a real sense, the screams and cheers came like a tsunami, and continued to rise, more and more turbulent and crazy.
"Young master, ah
"Welcome to Mordor, young master!"
"Young master, look here, here!"
In a scream, instead of going to the central stage, Langley went to the audience area, and the whole scene was out of control like a volcanic eruption.
