Everyone who has watched "A Better Tomorrow" has a feeling for Ma Ge. The most powerful evidence is that the streets were full of men with windbreakers, sunglasses and toothpicks. Wang Jing accurately captured everyone's feelings and used spoofs, "Chasing Girls" was concocted in a tricky way, and it became an instant hit on the night of its premiere, with the audience almost laughing.
The film focuses on three sexy car repairmen, Bad Hair, Traffic Light, and Wu Zhunshao, with the shabby and mean Uncle Jian as the lead. It accurately portrays the common people's desire for love and worship of heroes, which not only caters to the taste of the audience , and established Wang Jing¡¯s comedy line.
When they came out of the theater, Zhong Chuhong and Xin Li were chatting and laughing happily, basically discussing the plot of "A Better Tomorrow" in the film.
Zhou Wen did not express an opinion. In fact, as a film worker, in addition to work, he has to watch a lot of movies every day to enrich his experience. He is very familiar with "The Hard Cover". Not only did he participate in the guest appearance, but he also participated in the movie He symbolically owes the video copyright. After all, the Media Asia video distribution studio market is now in full swing. The timely purchase of the video copyright of major popular films and global distribution has become another income-increasing industry for Zhou.
"Hey, I was so busy watching the fun that I actually forgot about Awen's guest appearance in the film." Zhong Chuhong grabbed Xinli's little hand and said, "Ali, have you noticed it?"
Xin Li blinked when she heard this and said, "I have noticed it. The problem is that I couldn't find him even after staring at the whole place. Hey, are you fooling us?"
"Haha, what's the benefit of me fooling you?" Zhou Wen shrugged and said, "Just because you didn't notice it doesn't mean I didn't make a cameo."
Xin Li curled her lips and said: "Why is there no benefit? You don't need to treat me to midnight snacks!"
"Bah!" Zhou Wen glared and said, "I'm like someone who can't afford a midnight snack, so why don't you ask what our Zhou family does."
"What do you do?" Xin Li blinked her big, confused eyes. Even though she has done in-depth research on Zhou Wen, she has no understanding of the Zhou family.
Seeing the tense posture between the two, Zhong Chuhong shook her head and sighed: "Okay, okay, you two, please don't be like this, okay?" Then she secretly informed Xinli about Zhou Ji's situation, and the latter said "Oh" in sudden realization. : "I didn't expect Zhou Ji to be opened by your family. Wow, I've always ordered takeout from Zhou Ji, and you didn't even say to take care of it."
Zhou Wen¡¯s mouth twitched twice. I felt very speechless at Xin Li's hindsight.
Zhong Chuhong, on the other hand, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Uncle Liang later that you can eat for free from now on."
"It's true, haha, I have a free long-term meal ticket!" Xin Li clapped her hands happily. At this time, she could not see the aura of a strong woman in her body, and she was particularly innocent and innocent. She rubbed her hands and looked a little hungry: "How about we go over for a midnight snack now?"
"It's very late now. Uncle Liang and Sister Xiang have already rested. Unless they are ordered in advance or Zhou's has a night show, we don't serve late night snacks." Zhong Chuhong explained: "But we can eat at another restaurant, Quan Dang It¡¯s a celebration that our sisters hit it off like old friends.¡±
"Okay, okay, Hong Gu is the most cheerful. Unlike someone who is stingy to death!" Xin Li took the opportunity to say sarcastically.
We found a restaurant nearby, and the three of them sat down and ordered something casually. Zhong Chuhong said to Zhou Wen with a straight face: "Awen, you should have revealed the answer to the mystery now. What role did you play in it?"
Honggu asked. Zhou Wen naturally revealed the answer to the mystery, but Xin Li would definitely be disappointed if she opened her mouth.
"Actually I'm a guest star as Brother Ma." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"What. Are you guest-starring as Brother Ma?" Zhong Chuhong's expression became more exciting, and she pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "That's the one who went to the wrong place for revenge, and didn't even know which flower pot to put the gun in The little copycat Brother Ma?"
Zhou Wen nodded seriously and said, "Yes!"
"Pfft!" Xin Li on the opposite side spurted out the tea, quickly wiped the corners of her lips with a tissue and said, "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it. This answer is so unexpected. Brother Hao and Brother Xiao Ma appeared. None of the footage shows his face, and the back and some facial features of the man in the restaurant look very similar to Zhou Runfa."
"Brother Hao is actually a guest star by Di Wei." Zhou Wen chuckled and said, "If you look carefully, you will find that I am 5 centimeters taller than Brother Fa, and"
"And what?" Xin Li asked gossiping.
"And starting from tomorrow, Yongsheng will hold an interactive event. If anyone can find out who my guest appearance is in the film, they will receive five free movie tickets, with a limit of 500 people." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"Start tomorrow?" Xin Li frowned: "Isn't tomorrow the time to release the second trailer of "A Chinese Ghost Story"?Sure enough, there were arrangements for backup, and even a company with a corporate background like Yongsheng dared to take advantage of it. "
"What are you afraid of taking advantage of~" Zhou Wen spread his hands and said, "Even though Yong Sheng is from a club background, as long as they don't use evil ways and behave in the circle, it will be a win-win situation for everyone to cooperate."
"But don't you think they will use movies to launder money?"
"Then what place do you think is clean?"
"Hollywood!" Xin Li blurted out.
"Girl, wake up, Hollywood is a hundred times, a thousand times dirtier than Hong Kong!" Zhou Wen sneered: "A kind-hearted person like you is really not suitable for development in the entertainment industry, find someone who is pleasing to you as soon as possible Get married."
"What do you mean!"
"It's not interesting, I just want to tell you: The entertainment industry everywhere is a virtuous one, and the world is as black as crows. Don't be dissatisfied. The current boss of MGM is still the backbone of the mafia. How do you explain it?"
Faced with such a strong rebuttal from Zhou Wen, Xin Li didn't know how to answer for a while. Indeed, Hollywood was no less than the holy land of movies in her heart. She was ridiculed by Zhou Wen and was worthless. She couldn't stand it, but Zhou Wen's rebuttal This is also true. Which of the major Hollywood film and television companies is clean?
While Hong Kong movies have introduced Hollywood's good operating models, they have also absorbed their bad habits. However, in the past, the development of Hong Kong movies was slow, and the little money earned from movies was not looked upon by the big bosses of the society. Starting last year, the Hong Kong film industry began to Blowouts often lead to high box office, and it is only a matter of time before the societies get together in the film industry.
"You're right, I'm too naive." Xin Li nodded in a disappointed mood.
Zhou Wen sighed and did not continue to hit her, and gave Hong Gu a wink to comfort her.
Zhong Chuhong sighed secretly. One is the proud son of the Hong Kong film industry, and the other is a strong management woman who has returned from overseas. Both of them have a true love for movies, and they both have the same goal of engaging in film research and market expansion. It is a pity that Ah, the two have a hostile relationship. If they develop a company together, it will inevitably cause a reshuffle in the Hong Kong film industry.
"By the way, have you two finished fighting? Everything has been served. If you don't eat it, it will be cold." Zhong Chuhong said.
¡¡Dividing line¡¡
The combination of grassroots + spoof classics + pick-up comedy made "Chasing Girls" a box office hit. It earned a high box office of HK$10 million in just seven days after its release. It not only confirmed Zhou Wen's prediction, but also made Wang Jing's fortunes rise to the ranks of best-selling directors. Let people in the circle know Yongsheng's name.
In the past, only Cheng Long and Zhou Wen's films could earn over 10 million box office in just one week. Now Wang Jing's films also have such honors. The happiest person is none other than Mr. Wang Tianlin. The old man has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and finally in his lifetime Seeing my son feel proud.
Although the box office was booming, various negative comments about Wang Jing from the outside world also followed one after another. They were labeled as "a waste of classics", "a vulgar director", and "the whole film is full of shit and piss". , if you were an outsider, you might have to hold a press conference to clarify, but Wang Jing accepted these titles naturally and appeared to be very general. You can scold me as hard as you can. The more cheerful you scold, the more widely I will promote my movie. Go to the theater The more citizens come to take a look.
Wang Jing's psychological quality is very strong. He has been influenced by his family since he was a child and has already seen through the right and wrong in the entertainment industry. He also learned a set of publicity techniques from Zhou Wen to "leverage" with the media. Anyway, he is very happy now. Pei Dian, if nothing happens, he will rush to the Zhou family and make it clear that he wants to sign a contract with the Zhou family.
??"Fantasy" was a hit at the box office, and soon after the second trailer of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released, compared to the simple eight characters with a red background in the first trailer, the content of the second trailer is much richer.
The eerie ancient temple Lanruo Temple, the charming female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, the ignorant scholar Ning Caichen, the heroic Yan Chixia, the yin and yang grandma, and the world's best swordsman Xiahou, seven visually impactful posters with different background styles, plus one point The half-minute trailer roughly reveals an exciting story that will take place in Lanruo Temple among the five main actors.
In fact, the second trailer is still a concept promotion. Apart from the announcement of the identities of the five actors, there is no other unnecessary information. However, it was these five posters and the one-and-a-half-minute trailer that immediately aroused the interest of the public.
Why?
Because they found Wang Zuxian¡¯s female ghost so stunning! The three sets of white, purple and bright red makeup photos set off Xiaoqian to the point of astonishment. Every poster of Xiaoqian has the title of "the best female ghost in the world" written on it.
It also amazed everyoneThere is also Zhang Guorong. His scholar's appearance is young and cute. It has a fresh and refined feeling. The concept of "the best scholar in ancient costume" echoes him.
It stands to reason that Yan Chixia, as the first supporting actor in the film, should have attracted a lot of attention. Wu Ma's Yan Chixia has thick eyebrows like swords and is upright. Standing on the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, let alone that cool and unrestrained look, but everyone thinks about it. Zhou Wen's "Xiahou Swordsman" paid more attention.
