Based on Xin Li's consistent understanding of Zhou Wen, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is by no means as superficial as it seems, and it is impossible for Zhou Wen to shoot a ghost movie without any reason, because this guy never follows the rules, no matter how the outside media ridicules him, No matter how low he looks, he can always overturn everyone's assumptions with a series of unexpected publicity techniques, and beat those who gloat to pieces with his brilliant box office figures.
What happened to the ghost movie? What happened to period films? So what if everyone doesn¡¯t like it?
Before the appearance of "Rivals", who would have thought that a hip-hop film could be so youthful, so touching, and so tearful? Back then, "A Better Tomorrow" cast a trio of good-for-nothings to set off a craze for hero movies. Poison Fa transformed into a fairy and is now a hot superstar in the industry. Others would have to queue up if they wanted Fa Ge's schedule!
All this is thanks to Zhou Wen!
Therefore, Xin Li instinctively feels that Zhou Wen has not taken action yet. Regardless of the negative opinions of the outside world and the various expressions of disinterest from the citizens, Xin Li believes that as long as Zhou Wen works hard and the movie is released, the most scolded people will definitely be eliminated from the box office. What a slap in the face, those uninterested citizens are definitely going to buy tickets!
But now, Zhou Wen actually said that the biggest dark horse is "The Hardcover" which will be released in a few hours. Xin Li didn't believe it, and Zou Daheng, Mr. He, Boss Lei, even Zhong Chuhong, Chen Lan, and Zhang Min also didn't believe it. Do not believe.
Xin Li narrowed her beautiful big eyes and asked, "Why did Mr. Zhou say this? Are you the screenwriter of this movie?"
Zhou Wen¡¯s scripts are worth millions of dollars and are not for sale. Unless Zhou Wen makes an exception and creates "Hardcover Chasing Girls", Wang Jing, who has a background in light comedies, will never come up with new tricks. Even if Chow Yun-fat stars, it may not necessarily be a dark horse. You must know that the box office of movies starring Fat Brother also varies greatly.
"The script was written by Wang Jing and has nothing to do with me." Zhou Wen smiled and shook his head and said, "I have not made any exceptions to the rules I have set."
"Then why do you have so much confidence in this movie?" Xin Li broke the pot and asked.
"It's very simple, because I have a guest appearance!" Zhou Wen said scornfully.
"Dizzy!" Everyone laughed bitterly, not expecting Zhou Wen to be so mischievous.
Xin Li rolled her eyes angrily and said, "Please be serious, okay?"
"Okay!" Seeing everyone's ears pricked up, Zhou Wen coughed twice and said seriously: "First of all, the movie avoids the summer season, and it is released at the same time in Jiahe and Golden Princess theaters!"
"Huh?" Xin Li opened her mouth in surprise. Seeing that others were acting as usual, it seemed that he was the last one to know the inside story.
Zhou Wen did not explain to her, but continued: "Then it is accurate positioning of the genre, firmly grasping the mentality of the grassroots, throwing out the gimmick of chasing girls, which is a continuation of the routine of "The Young Master". This is not the key, the most important thing is There are many places in the film that spoof "A Better Tomorrow"."
"Is there any more?" Xin Li asked anxiously. She felt that this reason was far-fetched.
"No, as I said, it's mainly because I have a cameo~" Zhou Wen shrugged.
"Can your guest appearance add points to the box office?" Xin Lidai frowned slightly, wondering whether to laugh or cry.
Zhou Wen nodded and said: "Of course! When you look at it later, be sure to keep your eyes wide open to see who finds me first. I will treat him to a supper."
"Cut~" Everyone sighed. Zhou Wen talked about his feelings for a long time just as a joke, but he didn't remember it at the moment.
After a while, Hong Jinbao, Li Xiuxian and others gradually arrived at the hotel. They were all acquaintances in the industry and bragging was inevitable when meeting. Xin Li seemed to be obsessed with Zhou Wen. She stayed by Zhou Wen's side the whole night, causing many people to mistakenly think that she had become Zhou Wen's new love. Zhong Chuhong frequently cast doubtful glances here.
Zhou Wen felt a headache, frowned and asked: "I said, beautiful lady, what are you doing next to me all night?"
??
Zhou Wen was defeated by this reason and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we are not familiar with each other. We have met no more than five times in total."
"Why do I feel like we are old acquaintances, um" Xin Li pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said, "Also, I feel particularly safe around you. I used to be surrounded by a swarm of flies when I attended gatherings like this. It¡¯s really annoying. Look how quiet it is tonight, not many people come to bother me.¡±
"" After hearing this, Zhou Wen's head was full of black threads. His feelings have become a free shield for others tonight. Damn, what's this?
"Forget it, forget it, I'd better go find someone else to chat, so as not to be disliked by you." Xin Li waved her little hands and left Zhou Wen with a smile, then turned and walked towards Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Min, and Chen Lan.
"I can't tell you are a master of love!" Hong Jinbao ran over with a wine glass in hand, winking and teasing: "When did you hook up?"
¡°Even you think I¡¯m having an affair with her?¡± Zhou Wen said in astonishment.
"Ha, it's not me who thinks so, it's everyone in the room who thinks so!" Hong Jinbao spread his hands and said, "I finally understand why Pan Disheng hates you so much. Not only did you snatch his fianc¨¦e away, but now you're starting a fight. His childhood sweetheart¡¯s idea, boy, what a brilliant idea!¡±
Zhou Wen was speechless: "Brother Sanmao, you"
"Isn't it?" Hong Jinbao widened his eyes and said, "If I'm not wrong, your technique is called psychological attack. As long as you hook Pan Disheng's fianc¨¦e, childhood sweetheart, etc., Pan Disheng will definitely go crazy. Hey, I admire you, I admire you, not to mention, this little girl is smart, capable and tall, and if she can get Mrs. Zhou¡¯s help, she will definitely be a good wife!¡±
¡°Damn it, I¡¯m too lazy to pay attention to you!¡± Zhou Wen fled in defeat.
"Hey, I'm serious!" Hong Jinbao caught up and whispered, "Tell me, when are you going to start? We should work together inside and outside to get rid of Debao."
"By the way, why do you have such an idea? Do I have a reason to acquire Debao?" Zhou Wen spread his hands to express how innocent he was and said: "At the moment, I just want to develop the Zhou family. If the other party doesn't mess with me, I'm too lazy. Fight back.¡±
"You think it's easy, don't you?" Hong Jinbao shook his head and said, "I guarantee that after tonight, Pan Disheng will definitely think that there is some ulterior secret between you and Xin Li. Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you can't wash it away. Just make the mistake of snatching that little girl over, it will enhance Zhou's overall strength, and by the way, it will help Curly and I vent our anger!"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that Hong Jinbao had such ambitions and even wanted to take Debao Company back.
"I can't explain it in just a few words. I'll talk to you in detail another day." Hong Jinbao patted Zhou Wen on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, Curly Hair is not happy in Debao. He wants to withdraw his capital and retire, but Pan Disheng refuses ugh , Debao is no longer the original Debao, instead of taking advantage of others, why not let you take it over and develop it, at least we are all our own people, right?"
Zhou Wen was stunned after hearing this, frowned and analyzed: "It seems that under Xin Li's operation, Debao's current situation is pretty good. Debao Building is not so easy to collapse."
"The premise is based on Pan Disheng's 100% trust in Xin Li. It was like this in the past, but it may not be the case in the future." Hong Jinbao smiled meaningfully: "Okay, let's change to a better place another day, pull up the curls and study by ourselves one time."
"Well, let's talk about it another day." Zhou Wen said perfunctorily. To be honest, he was not very interested in Debao, because after Debao's collapse, another film company would definitely take over. Even Jiahe and New Art City had put aside their years of grievances to prepare. If we work together, we won't have to fight Debao because of some random things. Of course, first of all, Pan Disheng can't mess up the situation, otherwise
"Damn, what's going on~" Zhou Wen cursed in his heart, and saw Xin Li and Zhong Chuhong talking very harmoniously. He sighed and hid in a corner to rest.
The low-key Yong Sheng announced its arrival to the Hong Kong entertainment circle by using the premiere of "Fashionable Girls". The invited guests have a strong lineup, including almost all the leaders in the entertainment industry. Regardless of the movie's box office, in short, all Hong Kong citizens will be happy after tonight I learned Yongsheng¡¯s name.
At around 9 o'clock in the evening, "The Hardcover Chasing Girls" was released in theaters owned by Golden Harvest and Golden Princess. After completing their support tasks, the guests either chose to leave or went into the theater to watch. The two bosses of Golden Harvest were the first to leave. Hong Jinbao sang "Oriental Condor" ¡·He also left on the excuse of being busy copying, and Mr. Lei followed him home.
"Mr. Zhou, don't you want to go home too?" Chen Lan asked with a smile.
"Yes, tomorrow the trailer for the second phase of "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be played, and I have to go back and contact TVB to avoid any mistakes." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
Chen Lan persuaded him: "You are also one of the investors after all. Besides, you asked everyone to find you as a guest star. How can you just leave if you find someone who wants to treat you to a late-night snack?"
"That's right." Zhong Chuhong immediately agreed upon hearing this and said, "I'm also very curious about what kind of guest role you have in it."
"Haha, I was joking, but you guys took it seriously." Zhou Wen laughed.
Xin Li crossed her shoulders and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is your fault. I'm just about to see how powerful a dark horse is at the box office. Wouldn't it be boring if you were absent?"
"Okay." Zhou Wen nodded and followed everyone into the cinema.
What surprised Zhou Wen again was that Xin Li was still sitting next to him, like a cowhide plaster that he couldn't shake off.
¡°Beauty, there are a lot of empty seats next to you.¡±
"It's safe with you." Xin Li's reason seemed to be very natural. She bypassed Zhou Wen and sat next to Zhong Chuhong. She took Hong Gu's hand and said, "Hong Gu and I hit it off right away. There are still many things that we haven't said enough. You Say yes, Hong Gu?"
Zhong Chuhong smiled, nodded and said, "Yes."
"Well, as long as you don't mind, I don't care." Zhou Wen curled his lips and said.
The lights in the cinema dimmed, and "Chasing Girls in Hardcover" was officially played
