Xie Yi heard Rob Cohen's shout and walked towards him.

"How is it?

Are you used to it? "Rob Cohen looked at Xie Yi with a teasing look.

"Director, please don't make fun of me."

Xie Yi felt a little helpless. Previously, he had always appeared with the crew. Even if there were more people shouting his name at the scene, there were still people from the crew to share the burden. Moreover, there was a certain distance between them and the audience. The thing he felt the most was the screams of some little girls.

Who would have thought that today's scene would be so hot and enthusiastic!

Xie Yi believed that if he hadn't been so vigilant on the red carpet, he would have been kissed by the girl, who seemed to be about 17 or 18 years old, who somehow managed to break through the circle of guards.

Although the young girl was quickly pulled away by the guards on both sides, Xie Yi was really shocked by the behavior of these fans. Didn't fans only like the works of actors?

What Xie Yi didn't know was that there was more than one type of fan in the world. Some were rational fans who simply liked the works of actors, but there were also fanatical fans who liked the looks of actors more than the works of actors.

Otherwise, how could Xie Yi's works have received the power of faith from fans before they were released?

The reason was that these young girls who didn't like a person because they simply liked the appearance of a person.

However, Xie Yi hadn't thought about this yet. He secretly made up his mind that in the future, except for necessary activities, he would go out less. He didn't want to be suddenly attacked like this again.

Although those people couldn't get close to him without his permission, it was better to use as little magic as possible when they were outside.

After all, this was a society that believed in science. He didn't want to be targeted by the Academy of Sciences or the Research Institute.

What's more, he didn't have any ability to protect himself now.

"It's like this at the beginning. You'll get used to it." Rob Cohen patted Xie Yi on the shoulder and comforted him.

However, Rob Cohen remembered the first time the crew met to discuss the publicity plan after filming. They were surprised to see Xie Yi, so he had nothing to say.

Previously, during the filming, Xie Yi had darkened his skin color so that he wouldn't look so weak. Moreover, he wasn't dressed very neatly during the filming. He was only wearing an ordinary T-shirt and some baggy pants. Coupled with his somewhat messy hair, although the crew felt that this man was very handsome at first glance, it wasn't to the point of being breathtaking.

However, when they met for the first time after filming, Xie Yi, who had regained his original appearance, shocked everyone in the crew. Some people even secretly asked Xie Yi how he became fairer. However, when they received the correct answer from Xie Yi, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xie Yi worked so hard to succeed in the audition, and he hid it very well. At least in the past few months when they were filming together, the crew didn't find out about it.

However, everyone could understand. After all, if Xie Yi didn't hide his appearance, he really wouldn't be able to succeed in the audition. This was because he was too handsome, so handsome that he didn't fit the image of the character in the film.

Since someone could gain weight and lose weight for an audition, it was understandable that Xie Yi hid his skin color for the audition.

They just didn't expect Xie Yi's original appearance to be so handsome that it even led to the publicity of the film. Yes, they weren't exaggerating. The girls were the best proof.

Xie Yi didn't talk to Rob Cohen for a long time. After all, today was a special day. Not only did they invite a lot of reporters, but they also invited a lot of film critics.

Although "The Fast and the Furious" was a purely commercial film, it didn't mean that it wasn't favored by film critics. After all, there were many types of films, and film critics weren't just those who seemed to be respectable and only commented on films that were expected to win an Oscar.

Today, "The Fast and the Furious" invited famous Hollywood film critics, Bob and Bruce. Unlike film critics who only paid attention to the content and values of the film, the two of them paid more attention to the commercial value of the film. Therefore, the two of them avoided films that were expected to win an Oscar. However, for a film like "The Fast and the Furious" that was completely commercial, they liked it. Of course, the quality of the film had to be guaranteed that it was worth watching.

Although the two of them paid more attention to the commercial value of the film, it didn't mean that they didn't care about the content of the film. Therefore, if you were confident in your film, you should invite the two of them. After all, the two of them had always been the wind vane of the audience. If they thought that the film was worth watching, the audience would choose that film.

As it turned out, even if the film recommended by the two of them had some small flaws sometimes, it was still worth watching.

Therefore, after Bob and Bruce arrived, Rob Cohen went to greet them. Although this wouldn't change their evaluation of the film, after all, the two of them relied on this to make a living. They wouldn't ruin their own reputation, but at least their comments wouldn't be too harsh.

After everyone was seated, the lights in the screening room went off, and the big screen began to light up.

At the beginning of the film was the Universal logo. Almost no one in the room was unfamiliar with it. After all, almost all the films produced in Hollywood every year were the works of the six major film companies. They might have seen this logo dozens of times every year, so naturally, they were familiar with it.

After that, the film officially opened with a burst of slightly agitated music.

Everyone couldn't help but sit up a little and turn their attention to the film that had already started.

Even Xie Yi, who had seen the internal test screening at Universal before, couldn't help but turn his attention to the film again.

At the beginning of the film, at a dock for loading and unloading goods, a full box of goods was lifted onto a truck by a truck driver. After that, the scene changed to several racing cars hijacking a truck.

To be honest, the scene was very intense, which was in line with the usual style of Hollywood commercial films.

Bob and Bruce secretly thought after seeing this. However, if the film was only at this level, it could only be regarded as an average summer popcorn film. It would be impossible to ask for more.

But now that the film had just started, everything was still possible. Bob and Bruce once again put their minds to the film.

The film gradually unfolded, and Xie Yi, who played Blaine, appeared in front of everyone in a green racing car. The dazzling car, the handsome man, even if the man was dressed casually, still made everyone's eyes light up.

What followed was a series of superb racing skills that were very cool, making the audience feel excited. The accompaniment music was just right.

After that, Jordana Bruce's special appearance was also very impressive. There were handsome men and beautiful women in the film. Even if the plot was really not that interesting, the film would still be able to earn a good box office just by relying on the actors.

However, the subsequent development of the plot was obviously beyond the expectations of the film critics. Blaine turned out to be an undercover police detective, and Van Dijssel's Dominic, the female lead Mia's brother, was actually a participant in the carjacking. The collision of friendship and justice, coupled with a series of intense racing scenes, especially at the end when Blaine and Mia wanted to stop Dominic from hijacking the car, and the thrilling scene where Blaine and Dominic almost collided with a train, obviously made the film critics put down their pens subconsciously and began to immerse themselves in the racing feast.

When the film ended and the curtain call began to play on the big screen, the people present woke up from the intense racing scene.

Xie Yi was not too invested in the film. Firstly, he did not like this kind of intense film. Secondly, he had already watched the film once. Although the film premiered this time had many changes compared to the unfinished film Universal's internal screening, the plot did not change much. Most of the changes were in the soundtrack, but it was obvious that the new soundtrack was different from the previous one. It was more exciting.

Unlike Xie Yi, the film critics present were not thinking about that. They were thinking about how such a film with a somewhat lackluster plot could make them, who had watched countless films, immerse themselves in the film.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that it might be because the racing scenes in the film were very satisfying. After all, which man did not have a hot-blooded passion? The crazy racing, the hot dancing, the swaying buttocks, the handsome men and beautiful women, the real fast and furious. The name of the film was appropriate.

What was the most important thing in a commercial film?

It was not the plot, not the awards, and not the praise. It was the box office. A few other factors might be important, but only the box office was the key factor to measure the success of a commercial film.

Therefore, even if the plot of "The Fast and the Furious" produced by Universal was lackluster, it was able to attract people to watch and invest in it. This meant that the film was half successful.

As for the remaining half, it would depend on whether the publicity was on point.

When the curtain call of the film ended, the lights in the premiere hall began to turn on. Whether they really liked it or not, the people present applauded. After all, it was indeed a film that was worth watching.

Rob Cohen smiled when he saw this scene. In the circle of famous directors in Hollywood, he was not a well-known director, but he could not help but feel happy when he saw that the film he directed was liked by everyone.
