Chapter 231: Premiere
"Why do I have dirty things on my face?" Yang Dongxu was a little uncomfortable by the two of them, and looked at himself and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong, and the lower trouser door was not opened.
"I didn't expect you to think about other people. Fu Decai sighed with emotion.
"Am I as bad as you say?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes.
Fu Chaming nodded beside him, making Yang Dongxu even more speechless.
He is obviously very easy to get along with and has a very gentle temper, is it okay? And he is still very democratic, and he feels that this decision is not right when he sees Fude, and he also feels that it is already a risk to give face to others, and it is a bit unkind to force others to stand in line, so he changed his decision? Where can I find such a reasonable boss?
Yang Dongxu, who came to the premiere movie theater at two o'clock in the afternoon, did not stand at the door to greet him, although it was a bit rude. But he didn't want to reveal his identity except for people he had worked with. Besides, it is not rude for the general manager of Fu Decai to stand at the door to greet him.
Yang Dongxu in the front row will definitely not sit, otherwise he will not keep a low profile, obviously saying to the guests that I am the big boss, but I just don't stand at the door to greet you, you are not qualified......
The 'guests' who came were really a lot less than expected, and even the people who came are estimated to be a lot because they have cooperation with Haina Company now, and they can't help but come, although they keep a smile on their faces and seem to be honored to receive an invitation, but only they know what they think in their hearts.
But fortunately, although the guests at the premiere were apprehensive, they didn't find anyone throwing rotten eggs, or smelly socks and shoes, so everyone quickly took a picture and went into the movie room.
"How did you invest in such a movie?" Maggie Cheung pulled Yang Dongxu in the back rows, and whispered.
This is not only in the headlines, this is simply going to heaven. Originally, it should have been a surprise to see that the movie invested by Yang Dongxu was really in the headlines, but now it is definitely a fright.
"Is there anything wrong with investing in this movie?" Yang Dongxu asked with a wink and a smile.
"That...... That one...... That rich manager spoke a little unpleasantly. Maggie Cheung didn't know how to answer for a while, Yang Dongxu, as a mainlander, seems to be normal and has no problem investing in a movie made by a mainlander. So she threw the pot to Fu Decai, who had been in front of the press conference.
If Fude heard Maggie Cheung's words, he would vomit three liters of blood, and then yelled: "I don't carry this pot." ”
"It's not nice to speak. Yang Dongxu nodded seriously, looking serious.
Fude, who was sitting in the front, suddenly sneezed and felt cold behind him.
Although there are not many people who come, they all come, and as for those who shouldn't come and those who shouldn't come, Yang Dongxu doesn't care. People who know Yang Dongxu know his character, so although they saw him sitting in the back row instead of sitting in the front row, they didn't come over to bother and nodded as a greeting. It's just a little strange to see that he and Maggie Cheung are quite familiar, and I haven't heard of any cooperation between Maggie Cheung and Haina Company.
As for those who don't know Yang Dongxu, they didn't care much when they saw that Maggie Cheung was very familiar with him, thinking that this 'child' was Maggie Cheung's relatives and friends or something, and brought him over to see the world. This is normal, if it weren't for the press conference of Haina Company that turned the film into a big bomb, many people would bring some relatives and friends who want to enter the industry to come over to see if they can get some directors and investors or something.
When everyone arrived, Fude didn't talk nonsense, signaling that the people behind him could play, and the sound of the original whispered discussion in the screening room quickly quieted down, and everyone was quickly attracted by the plot of the movie regardless of their mood when they came before.
To be honest, there is nothing very new in terms of storyline, and such a type of story has long been filmed. But no matter what the plot structure is, this movie feels really good to watch, both the plot connection and the fight scenes are extremely exciting, and the actors' performances are also in place.
If it weren't for the headlines in the morning, this movie wouldn't dare to say that it is close to the top three box office in Hong Kong this year, but the top ten can still have a place. But now a good hand of cards has been played a bit badly by the senior management of Haina Company.
"How is it?" After the movie was screened, Yang Dongxu looked at Maggie Cheung a little worriedly.
To be honest, the first drama to come out with "Jingwu Hero" instead of other comedy classic movies is naturally related to Yang Dongxu's martial arts dream, otherwise the two consecutive scenes that decided to start filming would be martial arts films.
But there is one thing that Yang Dongxu also knows, that is, pure martial arts movies are not the first choice in Hong Kong, and comedy is the theme of this era, but in addition to Yang Dongxu's desire to make martial arts films, there is naturally a little other purpose for choosing martial arts movies.
"It's pretty good. Maggie Cheung said without thinking, putting aside the headline incident, this movie is indeed very exciting. Especially the fight scenes in the back make people feel thrilling.
Not only did everyone in her presence have a feeling of brightness, but when it comes to wonderful, they always feel that something is missing.
Good-looking, wonderful This is the first reaction of all those who have watched the film, but it can be said that it is not a boutique, or even a classic. They are a little hesitant in their hearts, after all, this kind of pure martial arts movie without comedy elements always feels a little uninteresting for those of them who are used to watching the comedy style of Hong Kong movies.
After sending all the guests back, Fude found Yang Dongxu with a frown.
"What's wrong, the movie is not good?" Seeing Fu Decai's expression, Yang Dongxu's expression was still very relaxed.
"It's not bad, the movie is definitely a good movie, even those people in the film association can't say that this movie is rubbish, but this doesn't seem to be suitable for Hong Kong people's appetite. Fude said with a sigh.
Yang Dongxu made a movie for the first time, and he also worked part-time as a screenwriter, director, producer and other roles, and the film he made was definitely shocked by this level. But now the 'shouting' publicity has made things so big, which makes this movie good, but it's still a bit underweight.
"Otherwise, what do you think I will do to make you hold a few more press conferences?" The smile on the corner of Yang Dongxu's mouth carried a hint of cunning.
"What do you still have?" As soon as he saw Yang Dongxu's expression, Fude knew that this guy must be holding bad water in his stomach.
"I know that pure martial arts movies are not as good as comedies in Hong Kong, but the Hong Kong box office can't ignore it, after all, this is the big one. However, you have to admit that this kind of martial arts film is very marketable overseas.
Even if you put it in Japan, it can sell well. You say that a movie that can sell more than 10 million box office in Hong Kong can also sell well overseas is more attractive than a movie that can sell more than 20 million box office in Hong Kong but has a dismal box office overseas. ”
"This is a bit hard to say, some celebrities only look at the latter in front of them, it is naturally better, after all, the Hong Kong market is very important, and they can make more money while making a name for themselves, so they naturally choose the box office high. But in the long run, the former is more important, after all, no matter how important the Hong Kong film industry is, it is only a corner of the place, and it is more likely to go out into the sky. Fude thought seriously for a moment and said.
After finishing speaking, he reacted: "You said that our movie can exceed 10 million?"
Fude, who was originally a little worried, heard Yang Dongxu say that the box office of the movie could exceed 10 million, and his eyes immediately lit up, according to the box office results of Hong Kong in recent years, if it can exceed 10 million, even if it is just over 10 million, it is possible to enter the top ten of the 90-year movie box office.
Although the top ten is not the top three or the first is a bit of a flaw, but this answer sheet can definitely dispel Fudecai's worry that it is not weighty enough, who dares to say that the first film shot will have a box office of more than 10 million and enter the top ten film companies in Hong Kong's annual box office is garbage and does not know how to make movies?
"If nothing else, 10 million should be fine. Yang Dongxu opened his mouth and said, but he was a little bottomless in his heart, after all, he was a reborn The movie was made in advance.
Although in his impression, Jet Li's martial arts movie period is the peak period of Hong Kong martial arts movies. None of the martial arts movies in which Jet Li is the protagonist have a box office of less than 10 million, but who knows if his reborn butterfly wings will have any impact on this box office.
"With just 10 million, I can shut up those who have bad mouths. Fude waved his fist, and it was instantly full of combat power.
A film company with a box office of 10 million, even Golden Harvest doesn't dare to say that the box office of the movie he made will definitely exceed 10 million, right?
But now the results of the tens of millions of box office have not yet come out, and I don't know whether it will be a hit overseas. So after the premiere, the major media exploded, in this era when the Internet is not yet developed, the public's evaluation of the quality of the movie is not only a few people who were interviewed at the door of the cinema, but also those film critics, popular stars, or film company CEOs who are struggling on the front line of criticism, after all, you are an ordinary person who writes a manuscript and the newspaper will not publish it for you.
So there was no need to wait for the morning newspaper the next day, and the evening newspaper had already begun to report overwhelmingly. And the content of the report is naturally a flood of bad reviews, and all film critics almost overwhelmingly believe that this is a bad movie, a case of its failed remake of Bruce Lee's movie.
And under the instigation of well-intentioned people, this kind of criticism and attack is not only an attack on the movie itself, but also a bundle attack, for example, if you say that the director is bad, forget it, and even say that the actors are bad and the company is bad.
Jet Li has made so many blockbuster movies, why do you say that his acting skills are not good? Sammo Hung has a certain status in the entire Hong Kong martial arts industry, why do you say that his martial arts instructors are rubbish? Haina Film Department only made this supplementary movie, how can you be sure that this is a bad movie film company?
If the propaganda of Haina Company was recognized as clamor before, then now the criticism of these film critics is an indiscriminate attack of their prejudices, whether it is right or wrong, in short, everything that has anything to do with Haina Company is rubbish.
"How can they do this?" Fu Decai looked at the newspaper in front of him, his eyes were on fire, and he estimated that he even had the intention to kill at this time.
"What's there to be angry about, isn't this expected?" took the newspaper in his hand and flipped through it casually, a sneer leaked from the corner of Yang Dongxu's mouth: "It's really hard to spare, but this proves that they are afraid." ”
"Scared?" Fude was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
That's right, this kind of vicious attack, and everyone jumped out to attack together, in addition to refuting the previous clamor of Haina Company, it also proves that the people of these film companies are afraid.
Otherwise, those film critics jumped out and forgot it, why should these bosses go into battle shirtless to criticize? Wait for their own company's movies to slap "Jingwu Heroes" hard at the box office, and then say that Haina Company is garbage, wouldn't it be more powerful?
"Prepare over there, since they're starting to be shameless, then we're not polite. A cold light flashed in Yang Dongxu's eyes.
