Not long after the end of the Cannes Film Festival, "Chongzhen" officially landed in major theaters.

The box office of documentary films and literary films has never been very high.

Take the parallel world as an example, Diao Yinan's "Party at the Southern Station" has been praised by many film critics, and has also been shortlisted for the main unit of the Cannes Film Festival, but it is extremely unfriendly to the general audience.

Even with Brother Hu as the starring role, with the blessings of Liao Fan, Wan Qian, Gui Lunmei and others, the total box office of this movie is only 203 million.

This is still with the blessing of Brother Hu's large box office.

The public did not welcome such obscure films.

"Chongzhen" is not so obscure, but after all, it is a documentary movie, and it is definitely not so interesting to talk about history.

Therefore, even if Hong Chen is the starring actor and his acting skills are impeccable, half a month has passed, and the box office of this movie has just broken more than 700 million.

This is undoubtedly the inferior advantage of black powder.

"A national treasure actor has a box office of 700 million?"

"A lot of people are still blowing there brainlessly, and the box office says it all!"

"Haha, Hong Chen really can't do it. ”

"The box office appeal is not as good as a second-tier star. ”

"This is what you call the pride of Chinese actors?"

Of course, there are also many film critics, including many literate professors, who support Hong Chen.

The most popular is an old professor of history at Huaqing University, who took people from all majors to watch "Chongzhen".

The professor said: "This is a very good movie, it is much more intuitive than I told you how Da Ming ended up. Especially the person who played the emperor, he acted so well. ”

This matter has also been on the hot search for a while.

However, in the vast advertorials, this hot search is nothing.

Of course, Hong Chen has been famous for a long time, and some gossip can't shake his position. It's just that I listen to it a lot, and I can't help but get bored.

Ge Chen also reported to him that there were conservative estimates of five entertainment companies that hired water armies this time, and they joined forces to add fuel to the fire.

In this regard, Hong Chen's order is to suppress these five entertainment companies from now on.

Although Hongchen Media has not yet reached the point where an entertainment company can directly go bankrupt, it will be very difficult for a large company to attack a small company.

As a result, next, the resources of these companies have been frantically suppressed by Hongchen Media.

Rao is like this, there are still many articles about Hongchen's poor box office appeal.

Because business is cruel, just like nature, if you want to snatch meat from the mouth of the head wolf, then the only way to do it is to join forces to kill the head wolf.

A few days later, Hong Chen went to Yan Chi to participate in the final production of "The Shawshank Redemption".

They examined the film from the beginning.

At first, this movie was more than three hours long, because there was really nothing to delete, Hong Chen and Freeman's performances were perfect, and Yan Chi was reluctant to cut it at all.

This movie is like a fragrant cup of tea, and Hong Chen and Gardman's performance in it makes this cup of tea more and more attractive.

It all felt like it was coming naturally.

There are no exaggerated special effects, just the most realistic story and complex human nature.

In the end, the two of them studied for a few more days, deleted some unnecessary scenes, and set the time for the finished film to be two and a half hours.

At this point, the film was completely edited.

The rest of the work is propaganda.

There is a saying that "the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys", and publicity work is very important.

Hong Chen first officially released the film in the overseas branch.

The reason why it is overseas, as mentioned before, is that it is not easy to pass the trial in China, or even not to pass the trial.

Then, they began to prepare propaganda.

The production of promotional videos is relatively fast, and it is nothing more than editing out some clips in the movie.

However, this type of movie needs to be watched from the beginning, and the more you watch it, the more you will be attracted to it. It's just that the effect of editing out a few clips and splicing them is not good.

Judging by the promotional video, this is a simple jailbreak film.

The movie is set in the United States, Hong Chen has contacted the theater where it will be released, and the release time of the movie has also been set.

At the same time, to Hong Chen's surprise, although this movie cannot be set in Huaxia, the review department found that it is a good movie and promotes positive energy, so it is also easy to pass the review.

As a result, the movie was set in China and North America at the same time, a month later.

On this day, the promotional film "The Shawshank Redemption" was released.

The background of the 50s in the United States, the seemingly backward prison and the prison life without bright spots....... It can be said that as soon as the promotional film was released, it instantly became a breakthrough for black fans.

It is worth mentioning here that in the promotional video, it was not announced that the final outcome of this movie would be a prison break, but it was only said that Hong Chen was unjustly imprisoned.

Those entertainment companies that are against Hongchen Media know that Hongchen's movie plays a very key role in Hongchen's future development.

They were smearing Hong Chen's box office appeal some time ago, and now in less than a month, Hong Chen has released a new movie.

It can be said that if this movie continues to hit the streets, then Hong Chen's popularity and status in the entertainment industry will drop significantly!

National treasure-level actors are not so easy to be, such as Aamir Khan of Ah Sanguo next to him, the latest movie "Ah San Thugs" failed at the box office, and was angry by Ah Sanguo's netizens for a long time.

Aamir Khan also took the initiative to apologize to the audience, but the audience still didn't buy it, and his popularity and reputation suffered a big loss.

In the previous stage, some of the black texts that Hong Chen was shortlisted for Cannes are still spreading, although the quality of "Chongzhen" is excellent, but it is still not enough to block the mouth of the trolls.

The success or failure of this film will determine the next pattern of the Chinese film market.

If Hong Chen wins, then he will continue to be the ceiling of Huaxia, continue to be a national treasure-level actor, and his popularity will continue to be maintained at the highest.

If he loses, then his solid position will be loosened.

"Run to the United States to shoot the prison? What is this for? Escape from prison?"

"This prison looks so broken, Cisco Field is about to cry when he sees it, and Stallone is silent when he sees it. ”

"Is this Hong Chen's new movie? ”

"Hahaha, has Hongchen become like this now?"

Black fans found a breakthrough and criticized them in various ways.

But what makes them helpless is that Hong Chen's popularity is too high, and the pre-sale box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" is still very high.

After all, that's a flood of dust!

has made so many classic films, the domestic actor slam, how much can the smear of some black fans shake?

There was a lot of noise on the Internet, and Hong Chen was at home with the baby.

When you are free, you still have to do your duty as a father.

Yan Yileng attaches great importance to the maintenance of his body and appearance, and the time spent on maintenance is about two hours a day.

Including skin care, hair care, body care, etc.

Hong Chen is also happy to be like this, after all, it is himself who is cheaper.

"Why are so many people hacking you on the Internet recently? Yan Yileng had just finished taking a shower, wrapped in a bath towel, wearing a shower cap, and a white translucent mask on his face.

"That's it when I came back from Cannes, now the company is developing so well, and my artists have received a lot of good resources. There are a few entertainment companies that are eager to bring me down so that they can carve up their artists and resources. Hong Chen said while coaxing the child.

"These people are really annoying. ”

"Don't worry, you can't make many waves, and those people are like that. Hong Chen smiled indifferently, "And this can be regarded as free publicity, those entertainment companies spend money to buy water army to create such a big trend, but it has helped me save a lot of publicity expenses." ”

Yan Yileng saw his appearance, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

There are generally two outcomes of a large wave, either it will rush farther with the help of this momentum, or it will be beaten alive by the big wave.

In the North American market, the effect of publicity is also average.

Because the subject matter is really too old, I don't see anything new at all. What kind of story can be filmed in the prison in the 50s?

To be honest, the movie has a certain amount of popularity in North America, or because of Morgan Freeman's popularity.

There are also a lot of people in North America who are hacking this movie.

It can be said that the film got off to a bad start.

The response to the propaganda was not good.

But looking at Hong Chen again, he looked very calm, and even said from time to time that he couldn't wait for this movie to be released.

This made Yan Yileng very curious.

Could it be that the Cannes actor did not succeed in the election, and Hong Chen was under too much pressure.

Thinking of this, Yan Yileng put his slender hand on Hong Chen's shoulder, and gently massaged Hong Chen to relax.

In any case, there are many people who are popular.

Hong Chen's new movie is being watched by all walks of life for various reasons.

Just look at the trailer and don't have any special highlights.

Many agents and managers in the entertainment industry who have a vicious vision believe that Hong Chen may be planted this time.

What kind of situation is Hong Chen facing now? When black powder is rampant.

At this time, what you urgently need is to come up with a good work to save the decline and shut up the black fans in one fell swoop.

It turned out to be good now, and I came up with a film with such an old theme and such an old background.

Isn't this self-digging grave?

"Hong Chen has always been the top actor in the entertainment industry, why don't you understand it this time?"

Many big people sighed.

In their opinion, this movie is definitely going to hit the streets, and Hong Chen's popularity may decline significantly.

The entertainment industry in China is about to change.

As a result, countless pairs of eyes are staring at the release of Hong Chen's new film.

And it was in this environment that the premiere of "The Shawshank Redemption" finally arrived.
