Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The box office performance of "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the first day really made people in the industry both shocked and jealous. They marveled at the film's gorgeous and even extravagant computer special effects, and were jealous of Zhou's crazy speed of making money.

    9 million a day. If the cost of 6 million announced by Zhou Wen is used, Zhou will recover the cost in just one day. Although half of the income will be withdrawn by the theaters, it is only one day, and there will be a full month.  Well, all fools know that "A Chinese Ghost Story" directly entered the profit stage from the next day.

    "Damn it, Zhou Wen can make money faster than robbing a bank!" Some people in the circle said jealously.

    "I heard that Yong Sheng took this opportunity to launder a lot of money. This box office data is very watery and may not be the real box office performance of the film."

    This theory was quickly echoed by others, because it is well known that Zhou Wen and the Fahrenheit brothers are very close. It is said that Zhou Wen is also one of the investors in "Hardcover Chasing Girls". If there is no agreement between the two, Fahrenheit  How could the brothers agree to Zhou Wen's investment, and it was Zhou Wen who arranged for Yongsheng's film to be released in two major theaters.

    Some reporters with community backgrounds had the courage to interview Jin Shaoyang. The boss Jin glared and said, "Can you please be smarter? Even if I want to launder money, I will cooperate with the theaters. Do you have anything to do with Zhou Wen?"  Since when did these lousy reporters become lackeys of the police force? Neither the police officer nor the Independent Commission Against Corruption said anything. Why don't you believe that you are going to send hundreds of brothers to your newspaper tonight to set fire to it?"

    When the reporters saw Jin Shaoyang¡¯s posture, they were immediately frightened and had no choice.  This group of paparazzi are used to bullying others, but they were really frightened when they met Jin Shaoyang, who was a real gangster.  I was so dejected that I ran away, for fear of upsetting this man and setting fire to him. Who would I cry to when the newspaper office was gone?

    "Come back, did I let you go?" The reporters wanted to leave, but Jin Shaoyang refused. He grinned sinisterly and said: "You guys have such bad mouths. I have some ugly things to say in front of you. Don't bother with some gossipy things."  Destroy the reputation of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Once I find out, it won't be as simple as burning down the newspaper office!"

    The reporters were so frightened that they fell into silence after hearing this. Don't look at the fact that these reporters usually rely on their association background to hype up various scandals to earn newspaper sales. If celebrities can't offend them, it's not necessarily that Jin Shaoyang can't touch them. Even if they take advantage of the opportunity to speculate, they can earn money.  Sales volume, but if the newspaper office is gone, life is lost.  Everything is just a cloud.

    "Damn it, did you hear what I said?"

    "I heard it, I heard it!" The reporters nodded hurriedly, not to mention the clever one.

    "Well, if you have nothing to do, just praise "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the newspaper, praise Zhou Wen or the Zhou family. Don't think about how to be evil all day long. Is this unkind?" Jin Shaoyang was very satisfied with the reporters' reaction and gave him a message by the way.  They got a life philosophy lesson.

    The real paparazzi gossip party did not dare to jump out because of Jin Shaoyang's shock, but some gunmen hired by other film companies began to speak out unscrupulously. Among them, Debao hired more than ten gunmen at high prices to take turns spraying "A Chinese Ghost Story" in several newspapers.  ¡·.

    "Is it opportunistic or a tribute to the predecessors? I am dissatisfied with the new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story"." A film critic named Cai Yan said bluntly: "Li Hanxiang is a book lover. He especially loves to read "The Golden Lotus" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and later  They asked him to make "A Chinese Ghost Story". The weird atmosphere can be completely brought out without special effects. The level is so high that it can be called a classic in the Hong Kong film industry. Compared with Li Hanxiang's old classics, the new "A Chinese Ghost Story" pays more attention to visuals.  It is a stimulating and sensual entertainment, full of vulgar scenes of saltiness and vulgar jokes, and even the lyrics smell like shit. It is far from the original version Such a low-cost and insincere work  It turned out to be a hit at the box office, which is a tragedy for the Hong Kong film industry!"

    "The Zhou family has ulterior motives in ruining a classic work!"

    "Through the new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", we can see how Zhou Wen unscrupulously ruined the classics of his predecessors. Ning Caichen was once a gentleman with backbone and ambition, an outstanding representative of traditional intellectuals, and faithfully expressed Pu Song's  Ling and Li Hanxiang's yearning for personality in troubled times and their basic attitude towards love. The new version of Ning Caichen was distorted and slandered by Zhou Wen, and became a degenerate person who drifted with the wind and had no spine. He was even greedy for beauty and couldn't extricate himself. If it weren't for someone  Yan Chixia came to the rescue, this little guy with a lustful heart but no courage has long become a dessert in grandma's mouth, let alone romance?"

    "Some people say that the new "A Chinese Ghost Story" is interspersed with life philosophy and joy, and has won the emotional characteristics of modern people. In my opinion, it is bullshit. Li Hanxiang's costume drama not only captures the inherent charm of traditional culture, he himself is  A master of props and costumes, coupled with his profound knowledge of classical culture and literature, Li Hanxiang is a master in the settings and costumes of ancient costumes: the details of the settings are well researched, and his painting skills are excellent. All the settings in the movie are from him  ?The brushstrokes, costumes and props are all very particular, and they are by no means the fabrications of some costumers and stylists.  The new version is a complete rip-off, and the costumes, props, and scenery cannot withstand scrutiny. Zhou Wen uses the guise of remaking the classics of his predecessors and instills his so-called principles of life and gangster theory. There is no connection between humans and ghosts. Why do humans choose to do this?  Zuo Jian himself fell in love with a ghost. Such a rebellious and unethical outlook on life is truly bizarre!  "

    Others were trying to get readers to spend money to buy newspapers, but Pan Disheng was trying to buy space for newspapers, buying more than a dozen newspaper front-page headlines at once. For a while, articles denouncing the new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" occupied half of the sky.

    "What is going on?" Zhong Chuhong came to Zhou Wen angrily with a dozen of today's newspapers: "Awen, look at these newspapers, the public opinion is extremely unfavorable to us."

    "Haha, it's just a manuscript at first glance, don't worry about them." Zhou Wen only read two articles and said with a smile: "You should be calmer when encountering such things in the future. Sometimes there are some critical articles, which may not be a bad thing.  After all, nothing in the world is 100% perfect.¡±

    "Ah?" Zhong Chuhong frowned when he heard this and said, "You can keep your composure. There is a burning fire outside now. What if the audience is misled by public opinion?"

    Zhou Wen looked up at Zhong Chuhong and said, "Hong Gu. The entertainment industry is developing very fast now, and it is no longer like the pace a few years ago. Times are progressing, and the channels for citizens to learn about a new movie are no longer  Simply relying on newspaper film reviews, you must know that we at Zhou Company have done a lot of work in publicity. Regardless of whether the public opinion is positive or negative, the audience will watch this movie with curiosity."

    Zhou Wen said it very easily, but Zhong Chuhong was still a little worried.

    "Okay, it's morning now. We'll know the results when the box office statistics come out at around ten o'clock in the evening." Zhou Wen stood up and walked to Zhong Chuhong's side.  He patted her shoulder lightly and said, "Okay, I'll take care of everything. Besides, the cost has been recovered. What's left is just a matter of making more or less, and there's Taiwan and the Southeast Asian market, right?"

    As soon as Zhong Chuhong was comforted, Yuan Heping came in with another newspaper and said with an embarrassed expression: "I have long felt that that boy Cheng Long has no good intentions. It turned out to be like this. Take a look at what this newspaper said."

    "Oh?" Zhou Wen frowned in confusion, took the newspaper and took a look.

    "Cheng Long attended the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story" uninvited. In the name of supporting him, he actually watched Zhou Wen's jokes. He said in front of reporters: Costume films have become history, and fashion action films are the mainstream of Hong Kong movies. "  "A Chinese Ghost Story" will hit the streets."

    "Haha." Zhou Wen threw down the newspaper and burst out laughing, causing Monk Yuan Heping to be confused. "Awen, what are you laughing at? This guy has made it clear that he came to see our show. If it hadn't been revealed by a reporter  , I really think he reconciled with us sincerely and respectfully."

    "Regardless of whether Cheng Long's motive for reconciliation is sincere or not. I feel that these reporters are confusing right and wrong without thinking through their brains." Zhou Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Mr. Zou has informed you about this in advance. Don't pay attention to the media's nonsense. As long as  Our two parties involved have remained silent, and the media will not be able to stir up any trouble."

    While the two were talking, the phone on the desk rang.

    "Brother Wen, this is Cheng Long's call. Do you want to answer the call?" Zhang Yuan asked via the internal line.

    "Here, did you see it? Cheng Long came over to clarify." Zhou Wen finished speaking to Yuan Heping, and then said to Zhang Yuan with a smile: "Come in."

    After the call was connected, Cheng Long's urgent voice came through: "Awen, there is something I have to apologize to you for. It's the report in the newspaper today. You have to believe me. What I said to the reporters at that time was not what was reported in the report.  With these words, I sincerely hope that "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be a hit at the box office. As for why they twisted the facts and misinterpreted my meaning, I"

    Cheng Long talked on the phone for a long time, and Yuan Heping also stayed by the phone and eavesdropped for a long time. It was not until Zhou Wen said that he knew what was going on and accepted Cheng Long's banquet that the two parties hung up the phone.

    "Could it be that the media is really talking nonsense?" Yuan Heping scratched his head and said.

    "In short, you can't just take the news reported in the entertainment section at face value. Only by listening to some words in reverse can you taste them."

    Yuan Heping sighed and said: "Hey, the entertainment industry is so chaotic now. It's not as simple as it was a few years ago."

    Zhou Wen nodded and said, "Being in the entertainment industry means being involved in the world. There are a lot of disputes in the world, so just keep a low profile."

    Zhou Wen can be so calm because he has seen through the entertainment industry. Today's technology is not yet developed. In his previous life, websites, forums, Weibo, etc. were all blown up. All kinds of gunmen and trolls took turns to fight, and the Internet was developed.  It is more convenient than newspapers, and its influence is extraordinary. Compared with previous lives, the entertainment industry in the 1980sIt's as pure as kindergarten.

    Therefore, no matter how the outside world comments or slanders, Zhou Wen has always behaved very calmly. If the media did not argue or hype, the public would not know about "A Chinese Ghost Story". Now, let's throw out the topics one by one, whether you are in the old version or not.  respect, or contempt for the new version. At least you pay attention to this movie, and at least you have to go to the theater and spend money to watch it again to know who is right and who is wrong. There are people helping to promote it without spending money, why not?

    Zhou Wen felt that as long as his position was stable, the company would be stable and he would not need to pay attention to outside comments, but he was wrong!  Not long after lunch, he was just sitting in front of the computer preparing the launch plan for "Rouge Button" when Shao Hua hurried into the office with a cold face.

    "Zhou Wen, you did a good job!"

    "What's wrong with me?" Zhou Wen frowned in confusion: "It seems that I haven't offended you recently. Besides, I have made serious adjustments to your guest appearance. Unless I am an acquaintance, I will not recognize you."

    "That's not what I'm talking about! Look at this newspaper, Xiaoxian is so angry!" Shao Hua said and threw the newspaper in front of Zhou Wen.  Her angry face was very ugly, as if Zhou Wen had done something sorry for her.

    "Xiao Xian left in anger? No way. He was still fine when we broke up in the early morning!"

    "Huh, she went back to Taiwan and said that the Hong Kong entertainment industry is hell. Isn't it just a role? As for being questioned by the paparazzi like that!" Shao Hua pointed at the newspaper and said: "You should read it first!"

    "Watching Xiaoqian in the Bagua Furnace, randomly playing the heroine of the new version of A Chinese Ghost Story"

    ""Xiaoqian" is not only a chapter in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", but also the key in "A Chinese Ghost Story". It is not only the warm and fragrant jade in the heart of men. It is also the most innocent yearning, integrating evil and tragedy. Although it has been  A lonely ghost who keeps company with the devil in the wilderness, but still secretly hopes for the warmth of the world. In 1960, Shaw Brothers released the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", and director Li Hanxiang invited the famous "classical beauty" Lotte to play the role.  Nie Xiaoqian is Leti's version of Xiaoqian. She has no lasciviousness at all, but looks like a dignified and elegant lady. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is consistent with the temperament of the talented female ghost in the original work. Such an intellectual Nie Xiaoqian attracts scholars.  , naturally not as fiery as ordinary women. Instead, they are polite and courteous, approaching mile by mile, moving people with affection, and the highlight of undressing and undressing is not at all wild. Only one coat is removed, and the golden thin  The embroidered dress under the gauze is looming. It shows a little smoke and smoke, like a fairy descending to earth, so beautiful that there is no evil smell. "

    "In Zhou Wen's new remake of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Nie Xiaoqian, played by Wang Zuxian, is no longer a well-educated and elegant boudoir girl among the ladies, but has become a charming, voluptuous woman with a coy figure and charming expression.  A pair of beautiful eyes are enough to enchant the soul. When she appears, she is wild and wild, and her charming face is full of greed. Because of the characteristics of the female ghost, she dare not come out during the day. At night, she is fierce and fierce, which makes people think of her.  Take a closer look at the waitresses in the major nightclubs on Bolan Street. Isn¡¯t Nie Xiaoqian the waitress in ancient times? They also try their best to defraud men of all their money, but this waitress not only defrauds money but also wants your money.  Life!"

    "I don't know what Zhou Wen's purpose is for letting a beautiful Taiwanese beauty play such a despicable role. Hey, I really feel helpless for the actresses under Zhou's family. Is it because times have changed, or are they from the younger generation?  Have filmmakers fallen? The author has no answer. Perhaps this answer requires everyone to keep their eyes open to discern clearly. ¡ª¡ª "Bagua Lu Entertainment Magazine" by Bagua Chen."

    Zhou Wen carefully read the article titled "Bagua Lu Entertainment Magazine" and honestly speaking, if analyzed according to Bagua Chen's logic, Nie Xiaoqian is indeed of that nature, but wouldn't it be better this way? When the audience sees such a unique  When it comes to "modern ghosts", it feels refreshing. The characters and concepts of humans, ghosts, and monsters are all close to the way of doing things among young people in Hong Kong in the 1980s. Compared with the old version that emphasized the classical essence and humanistic atmosphere, it triggered a group of people.  The resonance is undoubtedly greater.

    This is probably another environmental factor that caused the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to soar to 9 million on the day it was released. It is also a potential reason that Zhou Wen did not think about. It also coincided with the psychology of the audience at the time, and it is understandable to achieve box office success.

    Seeing Zhou Wen put down the newspaper and meditate, Shao Hua asked loudly: "Have you finished reading?"

    Zhou Wen nodded and said, "After reading it, I feel nothing. Xiaoxian was not angry after reading this report, right?"

    "Of course not, the problem is that a bunch of paparazzi blocked Xiaoxian and asked a bunch of random and very unpleasant questions." Shao Hua said angrily.

    "What's the ugly question?"

    "Why, have you ever been a stage lady before? Otherwise, how could you perform the costume stage lady so vividly?""Why are you working part-time at a nightclub on Bolan Street? I'm going to flatter you at night!"

    "Fuck!" Zhou Wen was furious after hearing this, and the desk buzzed when he took the picture, which shocked Shao Hua, who was unprepared. Then he saw a wet handprint on the table.

    "Where is the little sage?" Zhou Wen stood up and asked with a solemn expression.

    "She, she was taken to the airport by her mother. They were very desperate for the Hong Kong film industry. They didn't expect that the Hong Kong entertainment industry was so chaotic. They just filmed a role and were so insulted by the media." Shao Hua said softly.

    Zhou Wen was putting on his clothes and asked with a livid face: "Where are those paparazzi? Do you know what newspaper they belong to?"

    "Hey, what do you want to do?" Seeing Zhou Wen's angry look made Shao Hua worried: "You, don't do anything stupid!"

    "Don't worry, I'm just looking to see who is so damn wicked and dares to insult our Zhou artists. I'll go find him for comment!" Zhou Wen looked at Shao Hua and said, "Which newspapers are they?"

    "Thisthisdon't be impulsive, okay? Your task now is to rush to the airport to keep Xiaoxian!" Shao Hua was so frightened that no matter how he looked at Zhou Wen, he was not judging, and his words and deeds made him want to  In a posture to shoot those bad-mouthed paparazzi to death.

    Zhou Wen slapped his forehead: "Yes, let's keep Xiaoqian first. Then we can settle the accounts with those gangsters later. Please help me verify which newspapers they belong to."

    Zhou Wen dropped these words and left the office in a hurry, leaving Shao Hua with a confused look on his face.

    "Ahua, what happened?" Zhong Chuhong came over after hearing the news and asked.

    Shao Hua hesitated and said: "Hong Gu, I, I seem to have done something wrong" After saying that, he recounted the process to Zhong Chuhong. After the latter listened and read the newspaper, his pretty face showed the same expression.  Angry face: "Humph, you insulted Xiaoxian, I can't stand it anymore, let's go, let's go find them to judge!"¡ª¡ª

    This plot is still based on evidence. According to Ruan Jizhi, before "A Chinese Ghost Story", although there were many ghost films in Hong Kong movies, there were very few costume ghost films, especially the stories adapted from "Liao Zhai".  It is easy for Hong Kong audiences to have "outdated" stereotypes.  In addition, his brother Leslie Cheung was not very popular at that time, and Joey Wong was a newcomer who had only made one movie, so not many people paid attention to the movie at the beginning.  But Tsui Hark, who was the film's producer at the time, suddenly had a new idea. He told Ruan Jizhi that it would be better to describe the "female ghosts" as nightclub ladies, because they are all listless during the day and energetic at night; and their purpose is to deceive men.  .  So Ruan Jizhi wrote "A Chinese Girl" as "Nightclub Lady" and "Grandma" as "Mama Sang". As a result, the response to the movie was surprisingly good after it was released, and the audience felt that such a "ghost" was so fresh.
