Huayu is here for you

During this time, Lin Yu also found a new address for the company, a building with a full twenty floors, which almost emptied the coffers of Starlight Entertainment.

However, Lin Yu wasn't worried at all, because although the box office revenue from "Twilight" overseas would take some time to come in, the copyright income from DVDs and other means was enough for Lin Yu to live comfortably, not to mention the shareholder share that Marvel gave him.

So while Linyu was extremely poor domestically, it was incredibly wealthy abroad.

However, Lin Yu wouldn't transfer the money back to China. After all, he could only remember a few profitable investments abroad. Apple's first-generation smartphone was about to be released, and he wanted to invest more money in it. Once its stock reached its peak in 12, he could resell it and get thousands of times the return. Just thinking about it made his mouth water.

……

On January 12, 2007, at 7:30 p.m., the premiere of "The Martian," which had been promoted for nearly two months, officially opened. The venue was the Great Hall of the People, which was chosen by Han Sanping.

On this day, nearly 700 media outlets from home and abroad arrived together, and well-known domestic film and television companies such as China Film Group, Berna Film Group, Huayi Brothers Media Group, Enlight Media, Yinghuang Film Group, and Wanda Film Group also sent representatives to the event.

Many directors from the fourth and fifth generations attended, not to mention the numerous celebrities. In addition to the actors who participated in "The Martian," there were also Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Nicholas Tse, Chen Daoming, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, and many other stars from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, totaling over a hundred people. The red carpet stretched for over a hundred meters.

The venue was decorated with a starry sky theme, with a focus on a sense of technology and futurism.

Using silver and blue as the main colors, combined with LED lighting effects, it creates an atmosphere of the universe and the starry sky.

The backdrop was decorated with starlight curtains hanging everywhere, featuring the portraits of the main actors. It was far more sophisticated than those premiere ceremonies that simply plastered posters.

The interior backdrops also feature starry sky murals or LED displays showcasing cosmic scenes. Additionally, futuristic decorative elements, such as spaceship models and robot sculptures, are placed in the corners of the venue to enhance the futuristic feel.

Lin Yu, Han Sanping, and others also put a lot of effort into the stage setup.

The stage backdrop featured an LED screen displaying images of future technology and space. Various props resembling a space station, such as astronaut suits and spacecraft models, were also set up to enhance audience interaction and viewing experience.

The tables and chairs were also arranged in a modern style, using modern materials and designs to match the theme.

The tablecloths were made of silver or blue fabric, and the chairs featured a streamlined design with LED light bases to create a futuristic feel.

Needless to say, lighting effects are also an important element in creating atmosphere. Using LED lighting systems and setting different lighting effects and colors, such as flowing colors and illusion effects, makes the entire venue exceptionally dynamic and dreamlike.

Various decorative props were also placed in different corners of the venue. These were all props related to the planet theme, such as planet sphere models, spacecraft models, and spacesuit models.

Speaking of these arrangements, when Han Sanping and Lin Yu were discussing how to set up the venue, Lin Yu originally wanted to keep it simple.

But Han Sanping disagreed, saying, "How can a movie with such a big budget not have a grand production?"

Finally, Lin Yu couldn't persuade him no matter what. Seeing Han Sanping's expression that said, "I'm going to make a big fuss," Lin Yu also had the idea of ​​playing a trick on Han Sanping.

So he spent a day developing a proposal and handed it to Han Sanping, saying smugly, "Mr. Han, weren't you planning something big? I'll be impressed if you can pull off this proposal!"

Regardless of what Han Sanping would do next, when Lin Yu saw Han Sanping's bewildered expression as he looked at the planner, Lin Yu felt as refreshed as drinking a bottle of iced tea on a sweltering summer day.

"So you want to go all out! This setup and plan is the result of absorbing the experience of countless predecessors, barely achievable within this timeframe. Let's see what you do about it!"

Han Sanping didn't say much after that, only that he should think about it for two days.

Lin Yu was shocked. Did they really mean to do this? According to his plan, this premiere would cost no less than the premiere of "The Myth," and would likely cost 20-30% more.

Don't say that the premiere of "The Promise" was grand, but the amount of money spent was on a completely different level.

The premiere of the movie "The Myth" cost nearly 40 million RMB, which is equivalent to the cost of nearly four premieres of "The Promise".

At this time of year, the premiere of "Curse of the Golden Flower," which is about to leave theaters, cost more than that—60 million RMB! Lin Yu felt that this was something no human could do!

But now it seems Han Sanping is also going to do something inhumane! According to Lin Yu's conservative estimate, if this premiere is really carried out according to his plan, it will cost at least 50 million. In addition, given Han Sanping's love for grand gestures, Lin Yu believes that he will definitely not be conservative in his approach.

That's all money! Lin Yu didn't think Han Sanping would let China Film Group pay for it themselves.

What made Lin Yu even more vulnerable was that when Han Sanping finished thinking it over and told Huayi, Bona, and Guangxian about it, the heads of the other three companies agreed without hesitation as soon as they heard it was Lin Yu's plan.

Is it because of the excellent film "Curse of the Golden Flower" that preceded it? Or are they all uncomfortable with Zhang Weiping's jumpy and unruly behavior?

But Lin Yu couldn't take back what he had said, so...

Lin Yu: "Did I dig my own grave?"

However, all this preparation was not in vain, as evidenced by the faces of the domestic and international reporters and movie fans who arrived at the destination in advance.

They were all so stunned that they almost took photos of each other as souvenirs.

The celebrities and CEOs of various companies who arrived later were also greatly surprised!

"How much will this cost?"

Lin Yu stated, "Not much, about the same as 'Curse of the Golden Flower'...that's all!"

In addition, it's winter now, and it gets dark early. Under the illumination of numerous lights, the venue for the premiere of "The Martian" looked incredibly high-end. I doubt anyone would believe that it cost less than other premieres!

The hosts for the premiere ceremony were He Jiong and Xie Nan, who had already joined Enlight Media.

When Lin Yu led a group of "The Martian" cast and crew to the scene, it was almost eight o'clock, but there were still quite a few people queuing up to walk the red carpet, and Ms. Liu was one of them.
