Chapter 525
The Premiere in Zhangguo!
Chapter 525 The Premiere Upon Returning Home!
"perhaps--"
"We should strike while the iron is hot."
Vin Diesel looked at Paul Walker; the success of "Fast & Furious 6" was too impressive.
It grossed $6842 million on its opening day alone.
This result.
So far, it has reached a level comparable to Iron Man 3.
Even Vin Diesel found it hard to believe.
Compared to the performance of previous films in the series, "Fast & Furious 6" is a significant improvement.
As for all of this.
It was undoubtedly because of that man.
Chen Jin.
No one can deny the value of someone with such high box office appeal.
"July 26th is indeed a bit late."
"It was released more than two months later than in North America."
By that time, the hype will have long since died down.
Although it coincided with the summer season, it will ultimately lead to a fragmentation of box office revenue.
According to Vin Diesel...
A time difference of about one week is ideal; they originally planned to release them at the same time.
However, the competition from other strong films released at the same time was simply too fierce.
That's why they chose to do it two months later.
Looking at the impact of "Fast & Furious 6" now, there's clearly no need to be nervous.
Its box office is already catching up with "Iron Man 3".
No matter what, this time it's definitely going to be a sure thing.
After thinking about this, Vin Diesel called Chen Jin.
Chen Jin at this moment.
Having just finished a major performance, I feel completely drained.
Zhu Yanmanzi walked over with her phone in hand.
"It's Diesel on the phone."
I casually pressed the answer button, and the voice on the other end came through.
"Chan, we just had a discussion."
"Perhaps it will allow 'Fast & Furious 6' to be released in China a little earlier."
"At least while the hype hasn't completely died down yet."
Upon hearing Vin Diesel's words, Chen Jin naturally understood their meaning.
However, this matter still needs to be discussed; it cannot be changed at any time simply because we want to.
He explained the situation in general terms, and the latter naturally expressed his understanding.
Damien Chazelle was tilting his head to look at where Chen Jin was. Since the release of "Fast & Furious 6", Chen Jin had obviously been much busier than before.
Basically, I was constantly on the phone.
Fortunately.
The person in front of me did not delay the filming.
Actually.
Even if Chen Jin was delayed by something, Damien Chazelle wouldn't say anything.
After all, Chen Jin has absolute control over the film "Whiplash".
Once Chen Jin hung up the phone, Damien Chazelle called for everyone to get ready.
present.
The internet is flooded with news, all about the villain Chen Jin.
Without exception.
People's attitude towards this character has changed from being skeptical at the beginning to being wildly popular now.
He portrayed the villain Owen Shaw perfectly.
As for now.
The entire internet is buzzing about the movie "Fast & Furious 6," which has already broken the box office records of its predecessors since its release.
Even the highly anticipated "Iron Man 3" couldn't beat "Fast & Furious 6".
This movie was like a dark horse, bursting into everyone's view.
[A stunning upset! Fast & Furious 6 surpasses Iron Man 3 at the North American box office!]
[The moment everyone's been waiting for: Chen Jin's addition boosted the box office of "Fast & Furious 6"!]
Fast and Furious beat Iron Man!
【…】
Even though the two films were not released at the same time, Iron Man 3, which achieved great success upon its release, undoubtedly became a point of comparison.
The current situation is clear: Chen Jin's villainous role has brought more than just box office success.
It was an unexpected turnaround in reputation.
All of a sudden.
Those who previously insulted Chen Jin for ruining the "Fast & Furious" series have now turned against her.
Zhu Yanmanz is currently scrolling through the comments.
The entire internet is basically praising Chen Jin's acting skills.
This naturally made her even happier.
This continued day after day, and Chinese moviegoers and fans were already eagerly awaiting the release of "Fast & Furious 6." The changed date had clearly fueled everyone's anticipation.
……
Hey! My dears.
"The month-and-a-half-long shoot is finally coming to a perfect end today."
Damir Chazelle gave a thumbs up.
today.
That was their final scene.
After the event, Chen Jin will rush back to China to attend the premiere of "Fast & Furious 6".
J.K. Simmons looked at Chen Jin.
His expression conveyed a sense of regret for not having met sooner.
During the month and a half they spent together, he developed a great fondness for the young man in front of him.
That almost obsessive feeling about filming.
It is strikingly similar to Andrew Neiman in "Whiplash".
"The final scene."
"It seems we need to give it our all."
Upon hearing J.K. Simmons's words, Chen Jin smiled and nodded.
As for the final scene of "Whiplash," it is undoubtedly the climax of the entire film.
To showcase the extremely twisted yet mutually beneficial final showdown between Andrew Neiman and his mentor Fletcher.
This section.
It can be said that it makes people feel the ultimate madness.
At a major jazz festival, Andrew was invited by his mentor Fletcher to be the head drummer.
However, after the film's release, Fletcher publicly told Andrew that he had known all along that Andrew was the informant.
And they temporarily changed it to a song that Andrew didn't know at all.
The goal was to ruin his career.
As for Andrew—
He stormed off after suffering a huge insult.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
J.K. Simmons's words instantly froze the smile on Chen Jin's face.
He looked at the person in front of him, feeling helpless.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
There was clearly a hint of doubt in his voice.
"What?"
J.K. Simmons stared silently at Chen Jin, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
"I know it is you."
These words instantly wiped the expression off Chen Jin's face.
His eyes were filled with understanding and fear, but he could only notice J.K. Simmons slowly turning around to face everyone in the audience.
"Thank you! Ladies and gentlemen!"
"It is an honor to open for Jvc. I am Terence Fletcher."
"These are the best musicians in New York."
Damien Chazelle slowly zoomed in on Chen Jin's location with the camera.
At this moment, his close-up shot completely revealed his state of panic.
Perhaps because her actions had been exposed, Chen Jin couldn't help but swallow hard.
His hands were soaked with sweat, which had already soaked his suit trousers.
"That is, the best musician in the world." "We will play some of our usual pieces, but first we will present a piece by Tim Simoni."
"Upswinging".
Chen Jin visibly panicked upon hearing J.K. Simmons's words.
This was a piece of music he had never heard before.
obviously.
This was J.K. Simmons's biggest punishment for him.
He's going to destroy him?
The chaotic drumbeats drew everyone's attention, their faces showing a hint of disdain.
A wave of immense frustration washed over me.
So much so that Chen Jin took off his gloves and quickly fled this suffocating place.
Jim Niemann slowly embraced Chen Jin in front of him.
Just as he was about to lead his son away, he saw Chen Jin return to the stage without hesitation.
next second.
The explosive drumbeats started instantly.
J.K. Simmons turned to look at Chen Jin, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
The sound of drums echoed throughout the entire film crew.
Everyone could feel Chen Jin's fury at that moment.
He seemed to have become one with the drum set; all he had to do now was prove himself.
"Wait for my instructions!"
Chen Jin shouted.
But his hands didn't stop moving at all.
“Caravan”.
"Three or four!"
The sounds of drums and music gradually reached everyone's ears, one after another, as if they were about to explode.
"I'll gouge your eyes out."
J.K. Simmons glared fiercely at Chen Jin, but it didn't affect his current state at all.
At this moment, fine beads of sweat were constantly seeping into Chen Jin's body.
He looked as if he was completely submerged in water.
"Andrew, what are you doing!"
"Wait for my instructions."
Chen Jin's speed increased, as if he was pushing his own limits.
It felt as if I could no longer hear anything.
As for J.K. Simmons and his partner, their movements became increasingly rapid.
this moment.
This mentor has clearly found his star pupil.
Their eyes met, and then the drumming stopped abruptly—
"OK!"
"I hereby announce that filming for 'Whiplash' has officially wrapped."
Damien Chazelle's voice echoed throughout the venue, and the crowd became quite enthusiastic.
As for Chen Jin...
Another work has been completed.
For him, acting was already a piece of cake.
The system always gives him the best.
"so cool!"
"Chan, I don't know how to praise your acting skills just now."
Everyone present had come over, and Chen Jin's final moments were clearly impossible to ignore.
A perfect fusion with Whiplash.
Zhu Yanmanzi had already arrived at Chen Jin's side and was clapping with everyone present to celebrate the completion of filming.
Damian Chazelle was undoubtedly the most excited of all.
He finally fulfilled his dream and filmed this work.
"Tonight—"
"We definitely need to find a place to have a few drinks."
This time, however, Chen Jin chose to refuse Damien Chazelle's words.
after all.
He and Zhu Yanmanz had already booked their tickets back to China.
So far, filming for "Whiplash" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" has been completed.
The issue should be addressed regarding the release of "Fast & Furious 6".
Not only that.
Gao Xiaosong's "My Old Classmate" is currently in pre-production, so their schedule is relatively tight.
After hearing that Chen Jin had declined the invitation to the gathering, those present were more or less disappointed, since it was uncertain when they would meet again after this gathering.
For this young Chinese filmmaker.
His work ethic has clearly impressed everyone.
"I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to have a final get-together with everyone."
"but."
"We can meet anytime in the future if we have time."
That being said.
However, as everyone knows, aside from movie releases, everyone is basically busy with their own things.
J.K. Simmons walked towards where Chen Jin was.
In the movie, almost every scene between these two is filled with a tense atmosphere.
As for now.
Realizing that Chen Jin was about to leave, J.K. Simmons was clearly reluctant to let her go.
"I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again."
Hearing what the person in front of him said, Chen Jin nodded.
After driving back to the hotel, Zhu Yanmanz couldn't wait to call Yan Ning.
They are returning to China tomorrow, and they will definitely inform their mother of this news.
Seeing that Zhu Yanmanz was on the phone with Yan Ning, Chen Jin lay down on the bed.
Vin Diesel ultimately changed the release date to June 20.
As the host, Chen Jin naturally had to rush back to deal with some issues related to the film's release.
As for North America...
After nearly a month of anticipation, "Fast & Furious 6" broke box office records in its opening weekend, grossing $1.6 million.
Next.
It's about seeing the strength of China.
the next day.
Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz have already headed to the airport. Due to the recent popularity of "Fast & Furious 6", Chen Jin's popularity has risen to another level.
"Then I wish you a safe journey."
Paula was sitting in the car, watching Chen Jin and his girlfriend prepare to return to China, and she felt a little reluctant to see them go.
After all, we've been spending a lot of time together during this period.
"Looking forward to your early return next time."
After all, the team behind "John Wick 2" is almost finished with the early stages of preparation, and we believe that the time when they will meet is not far away.
"I actually hope I can get more rest this time."
Chen Jin shrugged.
After waving to Paula, he turned and prepared to walk into the airport.
at this time.
A flash of light went off quickly.
By the time Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz realized what was happening, they were already surrounded by media reporters and movie fans.
Chen Jin's popularity is undeniable.
Their appearance at the airport at this moment undoubtedly gave them the opportunity to get up close and personal.
In addition to the recent success of "Fast & Furious 6," which broke numerous records, Chen Jin's presence is undoubtedly the most important part of this film.
"Hello, Chan."
What are your thoughts on the current success of Fast & Furious 6?
"How was it working with Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson?"
Do you think you deserve half the credit for the box office success of "Fast & Furious 6"?
Besides the crowd of media reporters, fans and moviegoers also flocked to Chen Jin's location.
Their intentions are obvious.
That is, they want to get close to their idols, and getting an autograph would be the best.
Chen Jin felt somewhat helpless.
Whether in China or abroad, the enthusiasm of the fans is irresistible!
