Chapter 198: "Hero" was released, and the record was broken again?
Hong Chen continued to shoot in the crew of "Langya Bang", and the workload of the TV series was relatively large, and often the entire crew worked overtime until late.
The two directors are also very busy, constantly improving the content in the script.
At this time, for Hong Chen, another thing happened.
That is the official release of his new movie "Hero" that temporarily saved the scene last year!
He plays the role of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages!
This movie was a big hit at the beginning of the year, and as soon as it was released, it directly topped the hot search on Weibo.
With the blessing of a number of big stars, Lian Jie, known as the "Emperor of Kung Fu", Hong Kong stars Chaowei and Manyu, as well as action star Zidan, plus the young actor Hong Chen.
It's hard to think about this movie if it's not popular!
Moreover, because there is no competition for films in the short term, the schedule of "Hero" once reached more than 70%, and the resources of the cinema were basically all given to this movie.
The plot is constantly reversing, progressing layer by layer.
Zhang Hai's unique shooting technique is like an ink painting.
Especially Qin Shi Huang played by Hong Chen, he is extremely domineering, as if people can see the emperor through the ages.
Therefore, as soon as the movie came out, it immediately received rave reviews.
The next day, Ge Chen dialed Hong Chen's phone.
"The good news for you, Heroes has broken records again. Ge Chen reported the good news to Hong Chen.
"What record?" Hong Chen was immediately interested.
"The box office on the first day has been counted, and the film was released at the same time in HK and Treasure Island. It is already known that "Hero" has set a new record for the first day of the box office of Treasure Island. ”
"The first-day record of the box office of Treasure Island?" Hong Chen was a little surprised.
"Well, the box office of Chinese films in Treasure Island has never been high, and it is a cultural export center of Hollywood, and people on Treasure Island prefer to watch Hollywood blockbusters. Ge Chen explained.
However, this film involves Chinese history and is the story of Qin Shi Huang. The people of Baodao worship Qin Shi Huang very much, so this movie is very popular in Baodao. ”
"In other words, you're on fire on Treasure Island!"
Listening to Ge Chen's words, Hong Chen smiled with satisfaction.
In fact, he is not very well-known on Treasure Island.
Although he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor in Treasure Island last year, the public's attention to the Golden Horse Award is very low, far less than a popular movie or TV series.
Now that "Hero" is on fire on Treasure Island, Hong Chen, who plays Qin Shi Huang, is naturally well-known to the audience on Treasure Island.
"The people over there like you very much now, and there are already a few companies in the treasure island that are negotiating with me about you going to the treasure island to attend the event, do you think you should consider it. Ge Chen said again.
The star effect has always existed, as long as it can be popular, then all kinds of commercial activities will not be broken.
"Not interested. Hong Chen replied very simply.
"Okay, understood. Ge Chen replied.
"By the way, also, the movie will be released overseas in two days. This is also one of the few films in our national film market that can be culturally exported. Ge Chen said again.
"Overseas markets?"
"It is mainly for Japan and South Korea, and there are also in Europe and the United States, but the film schedule is relatively low. It's going to help you go global!"
"Okay, I know, by the way, you can pay attention to the HK market later, and help me pay attention to whether there are good scripts. Hong Chen said on the phone.
"Understood!"
After speaking, Ge Chen hung up the phone.
Later, Hong Chen paid more attention to the HK market, and the reason was very simple.
That is, the attention of Hong Kong films in Asia is still there, and there are still many people in Japan and South Korea who like the style of Hong Kong films.
He wanted to make a successful action movie and open up the international market.
One thing to say, on the mainland side, because there are too many restrictions, many elements that audiences like to watch cannot be filmed, so he still plans to use HK as the cornerstone of entering the world.
Only by entering the world can the value skyrocket.
Take the parallel world as an example, the starring roles of "Casting a Name" are Li Lianjie, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro, of which Jet Li's salary is more than 100 million, and Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro together are less than 30 million.
Because Jet Li is at this price in the international film industry, and Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro's influence in the international film industry is not enough.
Of course, Andy Lau's status in the music industry and his influence in Asia are very strong, but this will not have much influence on his salary.
When Hong Chen was filming "Langya Bang", he looked at the comments on the Internet from time to time, and he found that the popularity of "Hero" remained high and received rave reviews.
He was curious himself.
Because Zhang Hai used an independent scene in this movie at that time, he only had a rivalry with Li Lianjie, and he knew very little about other plots.
So, Hong Chen took an afternoon off and went out with a few actors in the crew to have a movie.
"It's been a long time since I've watched a movie, this feeling is great!" Su Mei, who played Nihuang, was very happy.
"I've always wanted to see this movie, and I finally have the chance. Wu Sanshi, who played Feiliu, also smiled.
In addition, there are also actors who play Jing Rui and Jing Yan, all of whom have arrived.
Because the afternoon was filmed with King Yu and the crown prince, they rarely had time to rest.
As soon as I entered the cinema, the promotional video of "Hero" was played.
I saw that in the empty hall, a sense of oppression came to my face, and the camera zoomed in, and Qin Shi Huang, played by Hong Chen, was kneeling in front of the long platform, pouring wine and drinking.
His eyes looked into the distance, and his momentum was full of domineering, as if he was swallowing mountains and rivers.
This is the Emperor of the Ages!
"My God, this feels too realistic!" Wu Sanshi glanced at the sunny and handsome Hong Chen next to him, and then looked at the emperor who ruled the world on the screen, and felt that the contrast was very big.
How is this performed?
When the other actors saw the promotional video, they didn't speak, but held their breath, as if they didn't dare to disturb the emperor on the screen.
The camera focuses on Hong Chen's face, majestic and domineering.
In this play, Hong Chen is equivalent to the biggest villain, and the protagonist and his party sacrifice their lives to assassinate him.
The promotional video is interspersed with shots of several other people, each with its own characteristics.
Li Lianjie is a silent assassin, Zidan is a master with a spear, Chaowei is like a dissolute knight, and Manyu seems to be burdened with a deep hatred of blood, dressed in red but extremely beautiful and moving.
And when he came to Hongchen, he was an emperor in iron armor who ruled the world!
Several characters have distinct personalities and obvious conflicts.
These people all exist to kill the flood dust!
The camera is also interspersed with the millions of iron horses of the Qin State, and the scene is even more magnificent to the extreme!
"Let's go, let's go in, I can't wait!" Su Mei was attracted by the plot and hurriedly urged.
A few others were the same, looking looking looking forward to it.
Hong Chen spread his hands, he had a treat today, so he took Wu Sanshi to buy Coke and popcorn, and walked into the theater with snacks.
He was looking forward to the film.
After walking into the theater, several people picked up their seats and began to watch the movie.
In the first half of the movie, the scenes are magnificent and the fights are gorgeous.
Zhang Hai is particularly good at integrating Chinese elements into the scene.
From the beginning, this is just a good action movie, and the villains die one by one, just to let Li Lian save close to Qin Shi Huang.
But then, the plot began to reverse.
The remnant sword played by Li Lianjie, at the last moment, actually gave up assassinating Qin Shi Huang!
The reason is also very simple, just two words:
World!
This reason can't help but make people think deeply!
Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, and the lives were devastated, but I have to say that this is an eternal achievement!
The world is unified, the car is on the same track, and the book is the same, so that the country can be more prosperous!
The theme of the movie was immediately sublimated!
In the end, Hong Chen ordered the remnant sword to be killed, and he stood outside the main hall, the last touch of the slanting sun shining on his body.
At this moment, everyone was stunned!
What they saw was the loneliness of Qin Shi Huang!
He is the lord of the world and the godless king of China, but at this moment, he seems extremely lonely!
Because the person who knows him best is an assassin, and this assassin was killed by his own hands!
At this point, the movie is over, but the audience's hearts can't be calm for a long time.
