Chapter 970: Departure from the Mainland
"I waited three years, not to prove how great I am, but to get back what I lost with my own hands. β
Zhou Zecheng himself used to be the admired king of TV drama ratings, and it was exactly three years after he switched to the film and television industry, and only Zhou Zecheng knew the white eyes and disdain he had received in the past three years, and through the role of Little Brother Ma in "The True Color of Heroes", Zhou Zecheng completely proved himself.
In the past, Yang Da was the pride of Xiangjiang, the idol sought after by countless people, and he was also the first brother of Xiangjiang, but when Anju Pictures asked to change the contract, Yang Da realized that his former glory had become a thing of the past.
In fact, if it weren't for the company's conditions being too harsh, Yang Da would even think of retiring, just looking at the company's mood of unloading and killing donkeys, Yang Da was indeed unwilling, and the sentence "I haven't been a big brother for a long time." It is also the truest portrayal of Yang Da's heart, Yang Da has always been dissatisfied with Anju Pictures, although he is no longer an idol he once was, but he can still conquer everyone with his perfect acting skills and still prove his strength.
Through the role of Song Zihao, Yang Da has done it thoroughly, Yang Da uses superb acting skills to fully interpret the feelings between a flesh-and-blood, affectionate and righteous person, and at the same time to face the best friend and the closest brother, if everyone only realized Yang Da's appearance before, but in this drama, everyone has thoroughly seen Yang Da's acting skills, which is also Yang Da's best explanation to his heart.
The success of Song Zihao's role made Yang Da's discussion no less than the peak of popularity, and it was through this corner that Yang Da received first-line contracts from many entertainment companies in Xiangjiang. The most regrettable thing is Anju Pictures, Anju Pictures never thought that Yang Da is still the sweetheart of the Xiangjiang interpretation industry. Through acting, it is still the idol of countless people in Xiangjiang.
If it weren't for Liu Zhongwei's invitation, Li Ziqi would have even considered retiring, as one of the most brilliant directors of Xiangjiang films, Li Ziqi also contributed his own strength at that time, but with the successive movies hitting the street, Li Ziqi completely withdrew from Xiangjiang's entertainment company, and the success of the box office of "The True Color of Heroes" announced Li Ziqi's strong return, and at the same time announced that he was still part of Xiangjiang's brilliant contribution.
Three people who were not recognized, forgotten and marginalized by the people of Xiangjiang, regained their original popularity and confidence through such a "True Colors of Heroes".
The success of this movie at the box office also marks the success of Ma Feng's transformation, as the only popular singer in the movie, at first Ma Feng's agent did not approve of Ma Feng to play such a role, but Ma Feng firmly believed in Lin Yang, so he took over this role under the opposition of his agent.
Long Qi is Ma Feng's singing of the theme song of this movie, which strengthens Ma Feng's position in the music forum, and with the popularity of the movie, "Love of the Year" has also become one of the most popular music on the streets of Xiangjiang.
On the other hand, it was Lin Yuan who confirmed the saying that if he didn't die, he wouldn't die, and Lin Yuan, who thought that if he took Anju Pictures, he would have unlimited shadows, but he never thought that "The King of Kings" would be crushed by "The True Colors of Heroes".
At the beginning, Lin Yuan gave up the interview video of "The True Colors of Heroes" and stepped on "The True Colors of Heroes", which was also re-turned out by the people who ate melons, and with the popularity of "The True Colors of Heroes", this has also become one of Lin Yuan's black spots, and it has also made some fans of "The True Colors of Heroes" give up their attention to Lin Yuan. And Lin Yuan's mediocre performance in "The King of Kings" did not attract the attention of film and television companies.
The most surprising thing about the success of this movie is that it belongs to Wang Dakui, Zhou Zecheng, Yang Da and Li Ziqi just proved themselves and took back the glory that belonged to their own success and glory, while Wang Dasi was completely brought to fire, Wang Dakui only played some small people with no lines in the past because of his appearance, and he was never paid attention to by everyone.
This time, after Li Zhongwei's introduction, Lin Yang arranged Wang Dasi to be Ah Cheng's sidekick, Wang Dakui's bad underworld appearance, while conquering the audience, also attracted the attention of film and television companies, and many negative characters in the movie asked Wang Dasi to try out. Wang Dasi can also be said to be famous in a drama.
At the same time that "The True Color of Heroes" continued to cause fermentation in Xiangjiang, Anju Pictures completely turned its attention to the mainland, when Wang Shitao invested in the filming of this movie, he thought about releasing it in the mainland, so this is also one of the films that Anju Pictures tried to enter the mainland.
Zhou Wei, Huang Yanqi, Zhang Man and Lin Yuan all have a good foundation of film in the mainland, and such big-name movies are also one of the favorite movies of mainland fans.
At that time, when investing in filming, Tiger Roar Media also attached more importance to this film and made a certain investment, so in terms of distribution in the mainland, Tiger Roar Media and Anju Pictures can be said to be both prosperous and loss-making.
As the head of the mainland cinema chain, Tiger Roar Media is very generous in terms of publicity and distribution, and as the leading actors Zhou Wei, Huang Yanqi and Zhang Man, as well as singer Lin Yuan, they have already launched publicity in the mainland earlier than "The True Color of Heroes", so in the mainland, "The King of Kings" can be said to have taken advantage of the time, place, and people, and at the same time, Anju Pictures, which lost in Xiangjiang, is counting on a beautiful turnaround through cooperation with Tiger Roar Media.
At the same time, Lin Yang also put the release of "The True Colors of Heroes" in the mainland on the agenda, but at the same time, Xiao Hailangben, who is responsible for the distribution of "The True Colors of Heroes" in the mainland, is obviously incapable of compared to the publicity and distribution channels of Tiger Roar Media.
Fifteen days after the release of "The True Colors of Heroes", Lin Yang officially returned to Yanjing with the main creative team of "The True Colors of Heroes", but "The True Colors of Heroes", which caused a sensation in Xiangjiang, is not well known in the mainland. "The King of Kings" has been promoted by Tiger Roar Media in the mainland, and has already had a preconceived concept in the hearts of fans.
"The True Color of Heroes", which does not have an advantage in publicity, also faces strong competitors in terms of film scheduling rate.
Due to the entry of the mainland into the domestic protection month, in addition to Xiangjiang films, several films in the mainland also chose to be released on sale during the domestic protection month, in the theater arrangement, "The True Colors of Heroes" is not dominant, and compared with other premiere films, "The True Colors of Heroes" has been re-screened, so only on the release date of July 1, only 8% of the film scheduling rate.
However, due to the theatrical advantages of Tiger Roar Media, "The King of Kings" received 22% of the film scheduling rate. "The True Colors of Heroes" does not have any advantage in terms of film scheduling rate, and the films to be released in the mainland have the participation of powerful movie stars in the mainland.
So in terms of publicity, Dong Bin suggested that Lin Yang come to a certain grand premiere to increase the publicity of this movie, but Lin Yang directly rejected Dong Bin's suggestion, and Lin Yang decided not to hold the premiere of "The True Color of Heroes", but to screen it directly.
Listening to Lin Yang's words, Dong Bin said: "Lin Yang, wouldn't this screening be a bit too risky? Now that the movie is released in a centralized manner, I'm afraid that the reputation of this movie will not be as good as that of other movies." β
Dong Bin's worry is not unreasonable, if it is premiered, word-of-mouth can also be faked by giving red envelopes to the media and hiring a water army, but if it is screened, then it is equivalent to presenting the movie in front of the public in advance, if the word-of-mouth is good, it is naturally equivalent to having good publicity, but if the word-of-mouth collapses, the whole movie will also be greatly affected, so the general film production company is more cautious about the screening.
There have been a few movies that thought they were making good films, and they confidently wanted to increase publicity through screenings, but after the screenings, the audience's satisfaction was not as expected, and the next box office was also a collapse, so unless Hollywood blockbusters and some small-budget films will be promoted through screenings, ordinary movies will not easily try to be screened.
"The True Colors of Heroes" has been released in Xiangjiang, and "The True Colors of Heroes" has achieved good reviews in terms of word-of-mouth, so Lin Yang decided to go off the rails and give "The True Colors of Heroes" a screening.
On June 28th, Lin Yang decided to screen "The True Color of Heroes" in five cities in Yanjing, Zhonghai, Guangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and at the same time, the domestic blockbuster "Married Woman" also landed in major theaters across the country. "The True Color of Heroes" was screened for the first time and encountered a strong enemy.
Although most mainland fans don't know the content of "The True Colors of Heroes", through some media and film news in Xiangjiang, as well as some mainland film newspapers, everyone knows that "The True Colors of Heroes" has achieved good results in Xiangjiang, and the box office has soared all the way.
Although you can know the achievements of "The True Colors of Heroes" through some media news, some film critics in the mainland think that it is still unrealistic for "The True Colors of Heroes" to replicate the kind of success in Xiangjiang.
Violent movies in Xiangjiang have their own limitations, and the audience is relatively fixed, unless some big-name movies join the film, which may achieve some good box office, most of the violent movies in Xiangjiang are tepid in the mainland. In terms of big names, it is obvious that "The True Colors of Heroes" is not counted, and it is facing the impact of three mainland movies, so "The True Colors of Heroes" is destined to be brilliant.
Liu Jian is a self-media person, relying on some entertainment articles written by himself, he is very moisturized, so whenever there are new movies or TV series and music works in the entertainment industry, Liu Jian will write some articles about new works, and slowly Liu Jian has some fame in the circle, and there are already hundreds of thousands of fans on Weibo.
By browsing the Xiangjiang movie news the day before yesterday, Liu Jian learned that "The True Color of Heroes" has achieved very good results and evaluations in Xiangjiang, but Liu Jian, who is a self-media person, feels that it is too exaggerated when he looks at these news.
"A movie changes something and brings something to others. β
Liu Jian reads a lot of such comment sentences every year, and every time he sees such a sentence, Liu Jian is very excited, because it proves that there is a lot to be done here. In fact, it was through the movie evaluation that Liu Jian tore these sentences by hand, and he became popular in the circle. Therefore, about the movie "The True Color of Heroes", Liu Jian naturally will not miss it.
Two days ago, Liu Jian had already written an article ""The Married Woman" will become the box office dark horse of the domestic protection month", which successfully attracted the attention of insiders and caused a sensation, so on the 28th, Liu Jian was ready to take a look at "The True Colors of Heroes", and then write a news about the "True Colors of Heroes" movie, so as to confirm the success of "The Married Woman" from the side.
Liu Jian naturally didn't believe that the media and newspapers in Xiangjiang didn't have a little moisture in the reports of "The True Colors of Heroes", so Liu Jian snapped up a movie ticket for "The True Colors of Heroes" on the Internet in advance, and at the same time brought the notebook he recorded casually, ready to enter the theater.
After the movie started, Liu Jian didn't feel that this vaunted movie was any different from other movies, and it was the protagonist's usual mode at the beginning, either smuggling or poisoning or counterfeit money. Liu Jian didn't feel anything new about this routine.
Even Xiao Ma Gexiu's own once awesome past, in Liu Jian's opinion, is a little naΓ―ve, this is basically the usual type of pretending and forcing routines in Xiangjiang violent shootout films, as for using such exaggerated words to describe it?
All the changes are at the beginning of Song Zihao's imprisonment, I thought that after Song Zihao was imprisoned, the pony would take Song Zihao's place without suspense, but Liu Jian didn't expect that the pony who valued love and righteousness came directly to take revenge, and the price of revenge was also the pony's injury.
After that, Song Zihao was released from prison, three years passed in a flash, Song Zihao lived a peaceful life after being released from prison, and there was no description of the injured pony, which also made Liu Jian very curious.
It wasn't until Song Zihao went to visit Xiaoma that Liu Jian knew that Xiaoma had been reluctant for the past three years, as the boss who had been dominant, what kind of mentality made Xiaoma so reluctant has always made Liu Jian very curious, until he saw the dialogue between Xiaoma and Song Zihao in the movie, and Xiaoxiao knew that Xiaoma was waiting for a person and an opportunity in front of him.
After watching the movie, Liu Jian found that he had been completely brought in by this movie.
