Chapter 150: Long Lin exerts his strength

Good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, and great compassion is not self-exterminating!

Although Yu Dong felt that "Shanghai Shang" lacked competitiveness in the Lunar New Year, he couldn't beat "1942", but he didn't quit the competition.

No matter how you say it, it is also directed by Wang Whale, and more than ten stars such as Fa Ge, Huang Xiaoming, Hong Jinbao, Wu Zhenyu, Yuan Quan and so on are co-starring.

Yu Dong said a reminder from Xie Lulin, and he thought about it again, so he hung up the phone. However, he still summoned the people from the distribution department of Bona, and once again discussed the start date.

Lu Lin's side also stepped up the promotion of "Thai Embarrassment", but it annoyed a big director, Feng Xiaogang.

Since "1942" passed the trial, he has been very happy. In addition, I was invited to participate in the Rome Film Festival, and I was even more ambitious.

At 11 p.m., the world premiere of "1942" was held at the Rome Film Festival, and after the film screening, the audience gave a standing ovation until the end music and subtitles ended, and many female audience members applauded while wiping away tears. As the ending song sounded, the main creators were also infected by the enthusiasm of foreign audiences, and Director Feng and Xiao Wang were even moved to tears.

At the same time, the British "Guardian" newspaper published the first film review of the film, which said: "Director Feng Xiaogang has shown his ability to control and present an epic through "1942".

There is a way that foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures, and when these news were transmitted back to China, "1942" soared in momentum, and it was not inferior to last year's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

Director Feng couldn't be idle when he was happy, and he and Hua Yi sold paintings to raise 4 million, so that the children of migrant workers could watch "1942" for free. As soon as the news came out, it caused controversy among netizens. Director Feng couldn't help it, so he got up with netizens on the Internet. On the 17th, he was upset for Yao, who had just finished getting married, and scolded some netizens for being bad in their mother's womb.

In other words, in the entire Huaxia country, those who dare to scare netizens so much during the publicity period of the new film's release, except for Director Feng, I am afraid that there is no one else.

Many people were dumbfounded, and Song Ge, who was busy with the release of "Thai Embarrassment", couldn't help but say in his spare time at work: "With his current posture, it's not a good sign!"

Lu Lin laughed and said: "Of course, no matter what, scolding each other with netizens will lose the dignity of a public figure and a great director." If "1942" is still successful at the word-of-mouth box office, the problem is not big for a while. But if it doesn't work, hehe!"

"1942" is naturally a failure, but the unanimous praise it can get overseas has made Director Feng a little floating. If we forget about those gringos, we like to watch this kind of film that reflects China's suffering! Just as we like to report on the disasters of various countries in the world in the news.

Director Feng even openly spoke on Weibo: I bet on the popularity accumulated by the previous twelve films, and I believe in my judgment of the audience.

Miraculously, the public opinion of the film is full of applause. There are even comments such as "If you don't cry, you smoke me", "If you don't cry in this film, are you still human?", there are even comments circulating on the Internet.

For this reason, the crew members of "Thai Embarrassment" who carried out the roadshow promotion were a little panicked, and there was only seven days before and after the release time of such a film, can it be done? Lu Lin, who led the team, only had one word, okay.

In a blink of an eye, on November 25, "1942" premiered, and it still won a full house.

However, by November 29, the box office performance on the first day of release was only 25 million, which was neither as good as the 3620 of "Tangshan Earthquake" nor the 34.9 million of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 2". Not to mention the 80 million set by "Painted Skin 2" this summer.

This kind of achievement has been a fiasco, or affected by this, Huayi's stock price fell shortly after the opening on the 30th, which shows that the capital market has sentenced the box office prospects of "1942" to death.

Director Feng was instantly dumbfounded, but Lu Lin arranged the premiere of "Thai Embarrassment" on Saturday, December 1. Because of the film market at this time, "1942" collapsed, and "The King's Feast" had an even worse start, with a first-day box office of only 8 million, and the results were not as good as "Life of Pi", which had been released for a week.

Looking at the film market at this time, in addition to "Thai Embarrassment", only "Zodiac", "Blood Drops" and "Da Shanghai" scheduled for the 20th have some appeal.

The schedule is rare, and Longlin Pictures naturally has to work hard to promote, and the premiere venue is the Beijing National Stadium. Although it was released by Longlin Pictures alone, Yu Dong still came to cheer, and Wang Changtian didn't come because of something. Most of the other friends in the circle are also busy with their own work.

is the artists under Longlin Pictures, such as Yingbao , Han Dongjun, etc., who were unable to attend due to work reasons. Only Fat Di, who is still studying in the play, ran around to join in the fun.

In addition, there are also Guan Yu, Zhang Jingyi, Yuan Quan and other main creators of the "Star Friends Group" to help.

After the red carpet session, Lu Lin, who was named as the producer, took the lead on stage at the invitation of the host.

"Thank you to all the industry colleagues, media friends and enthusiastic audience friends who took time out of their busy schedules to come to the venue, thank you!"

"Some people may wonder, don't you always advertise that you want to make special effects blockbusters, Director Lu, how can you make a small and medium-budget comedy movie!"

"What I want to say is that although Longlin has always taken the route of special effects blockbusters, our aim is to make interesting and fun movies. Although there are many films released in the film market every year, there are not many films that can be called 'interesting'......"

Yu Dong in the audience couldn't help but say to Song Ge: "Director Lu really dares to say it!"

Song Ge smiled, "His current momentum, what are these words, you haven't seen scolding the street!"

Yu Dong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed, and said secretly: "It's really not what it used to be!"

Because he wanted to use Lu Lin's name as a selling point, he spoke for more than ten minutes before he invited Xu Zheng, Bao Qi, Huang Bo and other main creators to come to the stage.

These three are all "human spirits" who climbed up from the bottom, interjecting and breaking the news to each other, which caused the audience and guests to burst into laughter. In terms of atmosphere, it is much more active than when Lu Lin was on stage.

At the end of the interview, he immediately entered the feature film. The lights went out, the screen lit up, and after the icons of the dragon mark and Longlin Pictures, Xu Guangtou in a white coat appeared on the screen.

Not long after, Gao Bo played by Huang Bo appeared, and had a very winding and funny conversation with Xu Lang played by Xu Zheng.

There are very few viewers and guests who have never seen a pure comedy and burst into laughter, which is quite unexpected.

Whether it's a person or a career, many times it's your peers who show your rarity. "Thai Embarrassment" is designed with fifty-six dense laughs, and you may not feel it at all when you watch it after a few years.

But in 2012, when the majority of audiences were "ravaged" by domestic bad movies for nearly a year, and when they were panicked by the depressing atmosphere of several blockbusters in the Chinese New Year, "Thai Embarrassment", which was just to make the audience laugh, was born!
