When "The Rape" was released in Xiangjiang two years ago, Southern Pictures spent 700,000 yuan in publicity money to promote the movie. "Hoe Rape" is a big production with an investment of more than 5 million, and Yindu Organization is very optimistic about the box office of the film in Xiangjiang, and has made great efforts in publicity, smashing 2 million publicity expenses.

This time, Yindu has put a lot of effort into publicity, buying movie advertisements, newspaper advertisements, subway advertisements, and being interviewed on TV stations...... It can be said that all the propaganda means that can be applied have been mobilized. The magnitude of the propaganda front can be said to be unprecedented in the history of Hong Kong.

Yindu dare to spend so much money to promote "Falcon", mainly because the quality of the movie is good enough, it is a super blockbuster that is difficult for Hollywood to make, and it is a very popular genre among audiences. Secondly, the Hong Kong community is more concerned about Vietnam. Since the beginning of the anti-Chinese exclusion in Vietnam in 75, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese Chinese have fled to Xiangjiang. The Xiangjiang film industry is also very concerned about this, and filmed the movie "The Story of Hu Yue", and Xia Meng's "Running to the Angry Sea", which is also a film about Vietnam. Therefore, Yindu is very optimistic about the box office of "Falcon" and believes that the box office of the movie is entirely likely to exceed 10 million.

While Yindu was making every effort to promote "Falcon", the Freedom Federation instructed the Taiwan media and pro-Taiwan media to frantically forward the negative reviews of "Falcon" by the European and American media; at the same time, they also organized a group of film critics to conduct a comprehensive critique of Xu Wangqiu and his film. Some people even directly said that the audience evaluation of "Hoe Rape" is good, not because of Xu Wangqiu, but because of Xie Fei;

The Taiwan media, as well as reporters from the pro-Taiwan media, are all gearing up, waiting to meet Xu Wangqiu. When "The Rape" was released two years ago, Xu Wangqiu cheated pro-Taiwan reporter Guo Yuan, causing him to lose his job, which made the Taiwan media and pro-Taiwan media hate him deeply. Now there is a chance to teach this arrogant and insidious mainlander a lesson, and they are simply looking forward to it.

The day came quickly, and the crew of "Falcon" held a media conference in Xiangjiang.

The starring Zhou Lijin, Tang Guoqiang, Bao Qijing and others of "Falcon" all appeared on the stage to meet with the media. In addition to Bao Qijing, the young handsome guy in Yishui looks very eye-catching. Especially Zhou Lijin and Tang Guoqiang, both of whom are handsome guys, not only made the hearts of the female reporters present pound, but also attracted the photographers to press the shutter frantically at them.

After the meeting officially began, Xu Wangqiu briefly talked with the actors about his views on "Falcon", and then it was time for the media to ask questions. The pro-mainland media are very serious about asking questions related to "Falcon", and the Taiwan bend media and the pro-Taiwan bend media are here to make trouble, so they will naturally not be polite to Xu Wangqiu.

At the beginning, the Taiwanese media and pro-Taiwanese media were only prickly in their words, but soon they directly started sarcasm. The reporter of "Xiangjiang Times" lost his job because Xu Wangqiu hurt Guo Yuan, gritted his teeth with hatred for Xu Wangqiu, and said unceremoniously: "Director Xu, I heard that after the release of "Falcon" in Cannes, there were a flood of bad reviews, and the media almost unanimously agreed that "Falcon" is a bad movie. I also heard that after the premiere of "Falcon", the audience was booed. Some media even said that it was a shame for Cannes to let such a film be screened at Cannes. Is this true, and what do you think of it?"

Xu Wangqiu was not angry, and said lightly: "It is true that some media give bad reviews, most of them are French media, but there are also many media that give good reviews, such as "Variety". This is one of the two authoritative media in Hollywood, and "Variety" believes that "Falcon" is a very good commercial film. I don't think there's anything to comment on the bad reviews of the media and film critics, because many media and film critics don't understand movies at all, for example, there are many such people here. ”

Bao Qijing laughed out loud when she heard this, this is too direct, it really doesn't give face to the reporters present!

Tang Guoqiang and Zhou Lijin also couldn't help but quietly give Xu Wangqiu a thumbs up.

The face of the reporter who asked the question was green, and the faces of the other pro-Taiwan reporters were also very ugly. They knew that Xu Wangqiu was talking about themselves, they had always regarded themselves as the uncrowned king, and they had never met such a faceless person.

Xu Wangqiu is not afraid of offending the Taiwan media and pro-Taiwan media, even if he is polite, these media will not say good things about him. In that case, then why give them face. He continues: "After the premiere, I spoke to Truffaut and Polanski, and they all loved the film. Actually, it doesn't matter what Truffaut thinks. My film is a commercial film, and what I value is the opinion of the general audience, and I hope that the audience in Hong Kong will enjoy this movie. ”

Another pro-Taiwan media reporter stood up: "The year before last, your "Hoe Rape" was a huge success after its release in Xiangjiang, and it was the third runner-up at the box office that year, since you are so confident in "Falcon", how much do you think "Falcon" can reach at the box office, and do you have any ideas for the annual championship?"

Two years ago, "Falcon" was released in Xiangjiang and finally achieved a box office of 5.23 million, and the champion at that time, "Iron King Kong's Brave Breakthrough in Space City" grossed 7.86 million. Last year, Cheng Long's movie "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" won the championship with an astonishing box office of 11.02 million, which was the first time that a film in Hong Kong broke through the 10 million mark. At the beginning of this year, Xu Guanwen's "Modern Bodyguard" once again set a new box office record in Hong Kong with a box office of 17.76 million, which was nearly 10 million higher than "Iron King Kong Bravely Breaks the Space City".

In the eyes of on-site reporters, "Falcon" has a bad reputation and has received a lot of bad reviews in Cannes. Even if some media give it good reviews, it will be a particularly controversial movie, and a movie like this will not be particularly high at the box office.

The reporter asked Xu Wangqiu if he had the idea of striving for the box office championship, if Xu Wangqiu said yes, they would write that Xu Wangqiu was arrogant and ignorant when writing the report, and no one was in sight, and they could even provoke the fans of Xu Guanwen's brothers to attack Xu Wangqiu, you must know that there are quite a lot of fans of Xu Guanwen's brothers. If the box office of "Falcon" does not exceed that of "Modern Bodyguard" in the end, they can mock Xu Wangqiu again.

Xu Wangqiu looked at the reporter who asked the question, showed a disdainful smile, and said lightly: "You people really haven't grown at all, you asked this two years ago, and now you still ask this, even if you want to dig a pit to pit me, dig a new pit." Don't you just want to hear me say that the box office can surpass "Modern Bodyguard" to criticize me for being arrogant? Okay, I will fulfill you! Xu Guanwen's "Modern Bodyguard" has a box office of 17.76 million, which is a very good result, but it is not unsurpassable, I think the box office of "Falcon" can surpass "Modern Bodyguard". You can write me arrogant!"

The reporter looked at Xu Wangqiu dumbfounded, but he didn't expect Xu Wangqiu to directly say his intentions, and felt that Xu Wangqiu's words were like a slap, and he slapped his face hard, and his face hurt hotly.

Xu Wangqiu sighed and said with disappointment: "I have always heard that the Kuomintang is corrupt, and I didn't feel it intuitively before, but now I really feel it." If it weren't for the corruption of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, how could you invite a guy of your level to be a reporter? He looked at the blackened pro-Taiwan media reporters present and said in a mocking tone: "You want to make a big news, right? Then I will fulfill you." There is a saying of 'two Qin and two Lin' in the Taiwan entertainment industry, and this time in Cannes, I met Qin Xianglin and Lin Qingxia, we ate together every day, and had a cordial and friendly exchange......"

Hearing this, Zhou Lijin almost didn't laugh out loud, obviously everyone was eating in Daguanyuan, and both sides were sneering when they met, eager to strangle each other, and when it came to Wangqiu's mouth, it turned out to be eating together every day, and having a cordial and friendly exchange. If you don't know this, I'm afraid you'll believe it and think that Wangqiu and Qin Xianglin have become friends.

Xu Wangqiu continued: "We are very dissatisfied with the current situation that filmmakers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places are seriously estranged from each other and cannot communicate normally, and we feel that it should be changed. So, we made an agreement to cooperate. As for what the content of the cooperation is, it will not be announced for the time being today. We're going to have a special press conference next week and we're going to welcome you there. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a bomb had been thrown in a quiet lake, setting off a shocking wave.

The reporters present, whether they were pro-mainland, pro-Taiwan, or neutral, were all stunned when they heard the news, and they couldn't believe their ears. Xu Wangqiu is okay, he is a mainland director, and he is not afraid of being banned by Taiwan at all, but Qin Xianglin and Lin Qingxia are actors from Taiwan, and cooperating with Xu Wangqiu means being banned by Taiwan, then their future is all over, where did they dare to do this?

A reporter couldn't help but say: "This is impossible, you are simply talking nonsense." ”

Xu Wangqiu grinned and said, "Whether it's true or not, we'll know at the press conference next week." Today is the press conference of "Falcon", let's not talk about anything else, let's go back to the topic and continue to talk about the play "Falcon". ”

The reporters present saw that Xu Wangqiu was calm and calm, not like he was talking nonsense, and wondered in their hearts whether Xu Wangqiu recommended Lin Qingxia and Qin Xianglin to Truffaut and them, or intended to push them to the international level and cultivate them into international superstars, Qin Xianglin They couldn't resist the temptation, so they agreed to cooperate with Xu Wangqiu?

The next day, after the media reported the contents of the meeting, a major earthquake was triggered in Xiangjiang. The people of Xiangjiang know that there is a serious antagonism between Taiwan and the mainland, and the two sides do not interact or communicate. Now that I suddenly heard that Director Xu Wangqiu was going to cooperate with Qin Xianglin and Lin Qingxia, who were popular in Taiwan, almost everyone felt incredible and didn't understand what was going on. Many people even speculate whether cross-strait relations are about to thaw.

Qin Xianglin was furious after seeing the media report, and felt that Xu Wangqiu was really bad, and that he was going to kill himself! He immediately contacted the reporter of the "Xiangjiang Times" and issued a statement, saying that Xu Wangqiu was completely spreading rumors, that he and Lin Qingxia were not familiar with him at all, and that he would absolutely not cooperate with him, and that if Xu Wangqiu did not make a public clarification, then he and Lin Qingxia would take Xu Wangqiu to court.

After Qin Xianglin's statement came out, the pro-Taiwan media reposted it vigorously, and the media overwhelmingly reported that Xu Wangqiu was a liar. Xu Wangqiu immediately responded through the pro-mainland media, saying that it couldn't be fake, and it couldn't be true, and said that he was responsible for what he said, and if Qin Xianglin wanted to go to court, he was willing to accompany him.

Xu Wangqiu played a very common hype technique in later generations, such as Feng Xiaogang's bombardment of Wanda's refusal to schedule films for himself when "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" was released, but he was actually pulling Wanda to operate. However, this kind of hype is a new thing in this era, and the melon-eating masses in Xiangjiang have never seen this kind of scene at all, and they are all enthusiastic to watch.

In a very short period of time, the conflict between Xu Wangqiu and Qin Xianglin has become a hot topic of conversation on the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang. Many people who don't know "Falcon" know about this movie, and many people who originally listened to the propaganda of pro-Taiwan media and thought that "Falcon" was a bad movie are ready to go to the cinema to get a glimpse.
