Chapter 170: The heat needs to be sustained
The theme song of "Infernal Affairs" is sung by Mu Chen and Liu Guohua.
Mu Chen's voice may not be as recognizable as Liu Guohua's, but familiar people can still hear it at once.
The song itself is a high-quality song, and it is also very much in line with the mood of the movie "Infernal Affairs".
From the song, you can see the man's struggle for love.
Unsurprisingly, the song went viral.
In less than a day, it topped the charts of major music websites.
Whether it is the number of auditions, downloads, or topicality, there is no song that compares with it.
The song became popular, and naturally had an extremely amazing effect on the promotion of the movie.
The popularity of Mu Chen and Liu Guohua's "Longing for Life" promotional movie has not yet dissipated, and the theme song was released immediately.
The Chinese version was released.
And when the popularity of the Chinese version of the theme song gradually dissipated, the Cantonese version of the theme song reappeared.
One movie, two versions of the theme song, this is undoubtedly the first appearance.
And Mu Chen wrote Cantonese songs and sang them with Liu Guohua, which was still quite popular.
Mu Chen showed his talent in Cantonese in "Longing for Life", and now he has written a high-quality Cantonese song, which is still very topical.
And when the popularity of the Cantonese version of the theme song gradually dissipated, the movie trailer officially came out.
The trailer is not long, but people are in suspense, and they are puzzled, and they can't wait to know.
Who is an undercover agent?
Who are the cops?
Who's the bad guy?
Who it is, but it doesn't appear in the trailer. Those who have seen the trailer, but want to know.
The heat needs to be sustained.
This is the best publicity.
"Did you send an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala?" Mu Chen looked at Li Ruoxi with a smile and said.
"What about you?" asked Li Ruoxi.
Mu Chen just went on last year, and it is unlikely that he will receive an invitation this year.
However, he did get an invitation.
"They wanted me to sing 'I want to have a home.'" Mu Chen said, "You know, I promised Brother Hua that song, so I recommended Brother Hua, and the Spring Festival Gala program team was naturally happy." ”
Mu Chen's popularity is very high, and now he has a big wrist, but for the Spring Festival Gala program group, Liu Guohua is undoubtedly a better choice.
Xiangjiang artists go to the Spring Festival Gala, and the meaning is different.
"Then this song will not be logged on major music websites until after the Spring Festival Gala. Li Ruoxi nodded and said.
Mu Chen promised to sing this song to Liu Guohua, but the copyright is in his hands, and if he sings this song on the Spring Festival Gala, it will be nothing. The reason why Liu Guohua is recommended under this excuse is probably more because he is unwilling to go to the Spring Festival Gala.
In the last Spring Festival Gala and going back to watch the Spring Festival Gala with his family, Mu Chen will undoubtedly choose the latter.
Li Ruoxi knew Mu Chen, and she was not surprised by Mu Chen's move.
"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded, and then asked, "The Spring Festival Gala program team has no requirements for your songs?"
They mentioned last year's song "Always Go Home to See". Li Ruoxi said.
"Always Go Home to See" Li Ruoxi sang it on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV last year, and it is naturally impossible for the Spring Festival Gala program team to let Li Ruoxi sing this song, the reason why this song is mentioned is self-evident, and I hope to sing a song of the same type as "Always Go Home to See".
Does Li Ruoxi have such a song?
No!
But she has a talented boyfriend like Mu Chen, so naturally she doesn't have to worry.
"I have a song that should work. Mu Chen smiled and then said.
When Li Ruoxi heard this, she smiled.
"When are you going to go back during the Spring Festival this year?" Li Ruoxi then asked.
"I guess I'll go back a few days in advance!" Mu Chen looked at Li Ruoxi and stopped talking.
"It's better to go back early and spend more time with your grandparents. Li Ruoxi nodded, she naturally saw that Mu Chen was hesitating.
She wants to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, so naturally it is impossible to go back with Mu Chen.
If Mu Chen went back later, the two of them would undoubtedly be together longer.
However, Li Ruoxi has deep feelings for Mu Chen, but she doesn't like to be tired of Mu Chen.
Only when there is separation can there be joy after reunion.
"Infernal Affairs" was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Mu Chen did not plan to guard it in Yanjing.
After the post-production was completed, Mu Chen basically left it alone.
After the release, he doesn't plan to participate in the promotion.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the topic of the Spring Festival Gala is gradually heating up.
The publicity of the films released during the Spring Festival has also gradually increased.
The Spring Festival stall, the best schedule in China, is also the most fierce schedule.
This year, several blockbusters will be released, and the competition is bound to be fierce.
"Infernal Affairs" directed by Mu Chen and starring Liu Guohua and others is undoubtedly one.
But it's definitely not the most vocal.
The movie with the most momentum is the magical blockbuster "Monster Hunter" shot by Zhang Gang the year before last!
This film is also the film with the highest investment among the films released during the Spring Festival.
"Infernal Affairs" has invested hundreds of millions, and there are no special effects, the main reason is that the actors' salaries are somewhat high.
And the heroes and heroines of "Monster Hunter" are both popular first-line stars in China, and the salary is not low. The actor's salary may not be as good as "Infernal Affairs", but this film has a lot of special effects, and the investment in the whole film is three times that of "Infernal Affairs".
The investment of 300 million yuan has undoubtedly become the highest investment in Chinese films so far.
With such a high investment, it is natural that it will not be stingy with publicity and distribution costs.
Therefore, on top of the publicity momentum, "Monster Hunter" crushed the audience.
This film is also the most anticipated film in the Spring Festival file.
The starring Huang Chengnai is one of the most box office appealing stars in China, not far behind Liu Guohua.
The heroine is Fan Sisi, who is also a domestic first-line star.
Last time, although she starred in "My Kung Fu Girlfriend" was defeated by Mu Chen's "Wolf Warrior", her box office appeal was undoubted.
Of course, the strongest box office appeal of "Monster Hunter" is director Zhang Gang.
In addition to the rival "Monster Hunter", there is also a comedy, an action movie.
The comedy is called "All the Way Crazy", and it sounds like a road comedy.
Director Xu Bo, the box office appeal may not be as good as Zhang Gang, but it is not much worse, compared with Mu Chen, I am afraid it is not much better.
And he is not as popular as Mu Chen, and his Weibo fans are a fraction of Mu Chen's Weibo fans, but even so, he still has such box office appeal, which shows that his works have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And the starring Zou Zheng of this drama is a popular first-line comedy star and one of the most box office appealing actors in China today.
Huang Cheng, Fan Sisi, and even Liu Guohua and others may not be as good as him now.
The film "All the Way Crazy" can be described as a strong combination, and its fan expectations are second only to "Monster Hunter", and still ranked before "Infernal Affairs".
Of course, this is not unrelated to the fact that this film is most suitable for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival schedule.
However, this film is not as strong as "Infernal Affairs" in terms of publicity.
This is not unrelated to Mu Chen's two versions of the theme song.
And another action movie, called "Special Mission", is Cheng Jie's work.
Cheng Jie's box office appeal in action movies has always been extremely strong, but now as he gets older, many outlaw actions are unsustainable, and the box office appeal is gradually declining, but it should not be underestimated.
This film also has the lowest expectation of the four films.
However, the expectation value does not represent the final box office.
Which film can become the winner of the Spring Festival file, I am afraid it will only be revealed after its release.
