Chapter 37 "New Shaolin Temple" premiered
"The Return of the Great Sage" will hold a celebration of the box office champion in Chinese film history, and "New Shaolin Temple" will also hold the world premiere of the new film.
This film is not small, and it is the first film to be officially authorized to be shot by Shaolin since the 82 version of "Shaolin Temple".
Among the producers, they are all well-known in the Chinese film industry. China Film's "Three Masters", Huayi's Wang Zhongjun, Eagle Emperor's Yang Shoucheng, Bona's Yu Dong, and the director of Henan TV Station. Director Chen Musheng and action director Yuan Kui are also well-known people in the Hong Kong film industry.
It is said that the entire film cost nearly 200 million, and the cast is extremely strong. There are big brother Cheng Long, Heavenly King Liu Dehua, Little Heavenly King Xie Tingfeng, big beauty Fan Ye, Ghost Foot Seven Bear Xin Xin, warrior monk Shi Xingyu, and Wu Jing, who recently became popular because of "The Return of the Great Sage".
In terms of distribution, the mainland is jointly owned by China Film, Huayi and Bona, and Eagle Emperor is responsible for Hong Kong and overseas markets.
No matter how you look at it, this is an out-and-out blockbuster, in terms of force and scale, it is not inferior to the previous popular "Let the Bullets Fly".
Therefore, although "The Return of the Great Sage" dominates the New Year stalls, it is crazy to harvest the box office. But in the eyes of some of the main creators of "New Shaolin Temple", it is just a blessing to invite heaven, and the schedule is well chosen.
At the beginning, thinking of the attraction of Hollywood 3D blockbusters to domestic audiences and the prestige of the $745 million global box office of "Chronicles of Narnia 1", many domestic film companies deliberately avoided the period of ten days after New Year's Day.
Now "The Return of the Great Sage" still collects more than 50 million on weekdays, but some people feel that it is the end of the strong crossbow that cannot wear Lu Min. Once "New Shaolin Temple" is released, it will definitely end its box office myth.
Of course, this is only a part of the people's thoughts. There are also some people who feel that "The Return of the Great Sage" is invincible and suggest postponing.
In addition to Bo Na, who watched the play, the representatives of China Film, Huayi, and Eagle Emperor quarreled for a while for the release of "New Shaolin Temple" during this period of time. The world premiere was held on the 13th, and now it has been delayed until the 18th, and it was finally decided to release it as scheduled.
Under normal circumstances, the premiere of a film, in addition to the main creative staff, is basically the representatives of the distribution company, the media, film critics, and movie fans. Usually, there are relatively few celebrities, mainly because the schedule is too busy.
A while ago, "The Return of the Great Sage" premiered, and there were not many stars coming. The reason why there are bigwigs of various film and television companies is mainly because these people want to see what kind of film they are that can make Bo Na and Glossy spend money crazy to publicize.
Of course, nothing can be generalized, if the director's wrist is big enough, or if the creator's friends in the circle are iron enough, there will still be some stars and directors who will go to cheer.
But Lu Lin didn't have much to do with the rest of the crew of "New Shaolin Temple", so he looked at Wu Jing with an invitation card and a rather strange look, "Senior brother, you will play a small supporting role in that film, you don't need me to support it!"
Wu Jing, who sent the invitation, was quite uncomfortable, and folded his hands and said: "Senior brother, senior brother, I can't do anything, I owe a lot of favors when I was drifting in Hong Kong, and now people ask me to invite you over, you should give senior brother a face?"
Lu Lin put down the invitation card and said with a smile: "If I go tonight, the media will definitely make a fuss about this tomorrow!"
Wu Jing said: "Look at that director Jiang Wen, didn't he also come to attend the premiere of "The Return of the Great Sage"?
Lu Lin said with a smile: "It's different, when we were promoting, we didn't lean on "Let the Bullets Fly" at all! You yourself are the starring role of "The Return of the Great Sage", and I, the director, will go over again, and there is no reason for them not to take advantage of this east wind! When the reporter really blocked me and asked me what my impression of "New Shaolin Temple" was, I didn't praise it, nor did I scold it!"
When Wu Jing heard this, he instantly grimaced and sighed: "Okay, senior brother knows that you are difficult to do, I just mean ......!"
Lu Lin laughed and said: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you, senior brother, just go on a trip, it's a big deal when the reporter asks me what I think of the film, just keep silent." It's up to them to make up what they can say!"
Wu Jing saw that his junior brother agreed, and he was busy thanking him. Lu Lin said again: "Senior brother, although this thing has to be returned, it must also have a degree, and you can't take any bad movies in the future!"
Wu Jing's face was embarrassed by these words, and he said: "Didn't you have no tricks back then, it's good to always think about showing your face in front of the audience!"
The two discussed and decided, and in the evening, they drove to the premiere venue of "New Shaolin Temple", and then separated first.
Lu Lin was unknown before, and after the hot release of "The Return of the Great Sage", he rarely appeared in front of the media, because most people were still a little unfamiliar with him. He wanted to sneak in and sit down with sunglasses, but he didn't want to be stopped by the staff at the door, saying that there was a red carpet ceremony ahead, and asked him to wait in the lounge.
At this time, nearby reporters found Lu Lin and hurriedly gathered around to interview. The staff hurriedly stopped Lu Lin and allowed him to stop and enter the temporary lounge.
The first to walk on the red carpet was Wu Jing, and in the temporary lounge, there were Andy, Fan Ye and other main creators.
"Hey, Director Lu, hello, I took my daughter to watch your "The Return of the Great Sage", the filming is so good, my daughter has been clamoring to watch it a second time!" I don't blame others for saying good things when they mention him, the affinity is really extraordinary.
To be honest, when Lu Lin entered this temporary lounge, the atmosphere was still very awkward. But as soon as Andy opened his mouth, he praised you, and what he said was very reasonable. Take your daughter to see it, now there are too many parents in China who take their children to watch "The Return of the Great Sage"!
Lu Lin hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, I grew up watching your movies!"
Andy smiled and said to Fan Ye, "Is he talking about my old man?"
Fan Ye smiled: "I also grew up watching your movies, I feel that you are more handsome now than you were more than ten years ago!"
Andy laughed and introduced Chen Musheng, Yu Shaoqun, Bai Bing, Xiong Xinxin, Shi Xingyu, Teacher Yu Hai, who played the abbot, and Xie Tingfeng to him.
As a star artist, everyone can get by on face. is the rumored Xie Tingfeng who "pretends to be forced and always accompanies me", at least in terms of face, he is also very polite.
After all, it is no longer an era when one or two Hong Kong actors can carry the box office, and in 04 filming "Little Fish and Flowers", Wang Bozhao was beaten, so that one of the two leading actors who were in the limelight was blocked, and one of the popularity plummeted, and Xiao Tianwang lost the capital of the year.
