Chapter 597: Selling Feelings
Qiao Feng remembers that a certain business tycoon said: Get close to the government and stay away from politics.
Especially when he is a Hong Kong native, has a multi-billion dollar net worth and has a strong influence of public opinion, he can do this calmly.
He loves the land of China, and it has nothing to do with who governs the land. He is willing to be close to the party that will bring China to a better life, but he will never obey his orders.
Qiao Feng doesn't care about politics, or he definitely doesn't show it clearly, just like he has never had any good feelings for the little devil, but he will never show his disgust in public.
Withstanding the pressure and continuing to let Black Sun 731 be released in theaters and be seen by the audience, it is a manifestation of Qiao Feng's only doing and not saying it.
Soon, Qiao Feng left the clown-like President Xu behind, and he still had things to be busy with.
Seven days after the release of the family carnival, two more blockbusters were released in Longteng Cinemas.
Compared with the dominance of the family when it was released, the next two films released are dragon fights.
In recent years, Shaw Brothers has produced several movies every year, and most of them cooperate with Qiao Feng, so the schedules are all good schedules, and there is no need to fight.
But for Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest, in addition to the films they cooperated with Qiao Feng, they also have a lot of films that they have invested in, and these films will have to be coordinated and arranged according to the quality and after internal screening.
Therefore, although everyone is a shareholder of Longteng Cinema Line, they are all in a gang on the surface, but there is a lot of fighting in secret.
The best partner of the best-selling series of the year is about to be released in the new art city, and the best partner has slowly declined a few years ago, and it is since then that the new art city has gradually begun to split.
At that time, the best partner was becoming more and more majestic, but after a few years of precipitation, they felt that the audience's nostalgia and feelings should have accumulated.
Therefore, they launched a new best partner, the main focus of this film is the sentimental card, before the release of all the publicity of the new art city in addition to the promotion of the star lineup, more is to sell feelings, frequently mention the achievements of the best partner series of the year, and mention the comedy innovation trend led by the best partner.
At the same time, Xinyicheng did not forget to play the fan cards of the two new actors.
In the new best partner, in addition to the original partners King Kong and the bald guy, a new combination of the Snitch sister and brother has been added.
The snitch sisters and brothers are played by the film and television song superstar Zhang Guorong and the big man who wants to have a figure and a good look, and they took up all the eyeballs with the defeat of the Hong Kong sister the year before last, and then they were also played by Qiao Feng and Qiu Shuzhen, who starred in the beauty pageant.
Although Qiu Shuzhen is young, she plays Leslie Cheung's sister in the movie, of course, Leslie Cheung is a little fresh meat at this time, and playing a younger brother is not inconsistent at all.
The story describes the terracotta warriors and horses of Xi'an and the Qin Wangjian at the end of 1988 to go abroad for exhibition, the first stop is Hong Kong, but the cultural relics were stolen by the white fissia on the way to Hong Kong, after the incident, Zhang Guorong and Qiu Shuzhen pretended to be the best partners to snatch the Qin Wangjian, the real best partners Xu Guanjie and Mecca became the people pursued by the Hong Kong police, and the mainland police sent martial arts master Li Yuanba to Hong Kong to recover the lost property.
King Kong Xu Guanjie and the bald guy Mecca broke up on a mission to Thailand, and since then they have parted ways and gone their separate ways...... Three years later, the National Treasure Terracotta Warriors and the Qin Emperor's Sword were stolen by the White Glove gang on the way to Hong Kong for exhibition, and the Snitch siblings, who claimed to be the "new best partner", took the sword away from the hands of the White Glove and blamed the best partner in a high-profile newspaper.
For a time, the Chinese Lan Bo (played by Li Yuanba) and White Glove sent by the mainland all thought that the best partner to withdraw from the rivers and lakes was the sword snatcher, and launched a series of hunts for King Kong and the bald guy. In the end, the two old partners finally cleared up the misunderstanding and united with the Snitch siblings to receive hard training on the mainland, in order to be able to fight to protect the national treasure......
From this movie, we can also see another attitude of Hong Kong people towards the mainland at this time.The family carnival shows the loss, worry and fear of a rich man looking at a poor relative, and the new best partner is about getting along with this relative although there are some shortcomings, but he can tolerate and seek common ground while reserving differences.
Li Yuanba's Chinese Blue Wave is such a role.
Golden Harvest is also a sequel released here, but it is not the Fuxing series and other films that have been sold by Golden Harvest, but the overlord flower series of the policewoman in the Fuxing series.
In addition to Golden Harvest, the investors of this film also include Golden Harvest's satellite company, that is, Cheng Long's Weihe Company.
After the first episode of the overlord flower is not big and not a small hit, in this Spring Festival file, Golden Harvest has launched the second part of the overlord flower.
Xinyicheng sells feelings, Jiahe also shamelessly follows the feelings, Bawanghua only filmed the second part and has no feelings to sell, so sell the feelings of the Fuxing series of the year.
In the new Overlord Flower movie, the starring roles are still those few people, one is Hu Huizhong, who is famous in the Hong Kong film industry for Overlord Flower, the other is Wu Junru, who finally got out by pretending to be crazy and stupid, and the other is Hui Yinghong, a veteran girl of the Shaw Brothers.
Wu Junru is responsible for being funny, Hui Yinghong is in charge of being big, and the rest of Hu Huizhong is responsible for being beautiful like a flower with Luo Meiwei.
Both films have a certain audience base, and their release on the same day was also praised by the media as a battle for the dragon, but I have to say that the best partner is worthy of being the highest-grossing blockbuster series in Hong Kong, and this audience base is thick enough.
Especially in the case that there has been no best partner series of movies for several years, this feeling has been fermented for a long time.Therefore, although Golden Harvest is playing the nostalgic card, it is still a little worse than the new art city that also plays the nostalgic card.
On the first day of release, the new best partner won 2 million daily box office, and Overlord Flower won more than 1.8 million daily box office.
The difference between the two is only more than 100,000 box office, which can be described as very close to each other.
But it is this gap of hundreds of thousands that can show the box office gap caused by the strength of the star lineup.
Xu Guanjie, Mecca, and Zhang Guorong are all big stars who have been famous for a long time, and Qiu Shuzhen is not bad, and her fame is also a line among actresses.
On the other hand, in Overlord Flower, except for Hu Huizhong, who wants to be good-looking and famous, the other three leading actors are not half a little worse.
Hui Yinghong is the queen of the Academy Awards, but it is not enough to be recognized by the award, this lack of fame is a hard injury.
Wu Junru has just come out, and she is not the laughing aunt who makes people want to laugh when she sees it in the future.
With a stronger star lineup and a deeper audience base, from the first day of release, this two-hero drama known as the battle of the dragon and the tiger ended with the box office lead of the new best partner of New Art City.
This lead is a five-day lead.
Well, yes, that's right, it's five days.
It's only five days ahead.
It's not that five days later, Overlord Flower overtook in the corner, leaving the new best partner behind.
It's because, on this day, the new film invested by Qiao Feng and Yongsheng also entered the Spring Festival file.
