Chapter Eighty-Four: A Report on Chinese Films
Suddenly, the sky changed, and large areas of dark clouds gathered together and rode the wind.
The otherwise calm sea was full of waves and torrential rain poured down.
Like a small boat in the ocean, the yacht is crumbling in the waves.
Lu Yi made a rescue call on the yacht, but a voice was repeated on the other end of the phone.
"Kill them... Kill them... Kill them!"
But the sea was too stormy and no one could hear what was being said inside!
"The style of painting has changed abruptly, there is a sense of déjà vu of a disaster movie in the United States!"
"This special effect is not bad, it looks very worrying!"
"What does the voice on the phone mean, and to whom?"
"Even so, it can't match a horror movie, is this a horror suspense disaster movie?"
"Maybe the wind and waves affected the magnetic field, and then we ran into a ghost ship!"
As soon as the picture turned, the sea returned to calm, and a huge ocean-going cruise ship appeared in front of everyone.
Boarding the cruise ship and passing through the dark corridor, Xu Jinglei felt someone peeping behind her.
The head was slightly lowered, the black eyeliner was deliberately drawn, and there were some doubts on the expressionless face, and when he glanced back, it made people feel inexplicably anxious.
The bloody words on the bathroom mirror, the hidden one that flashed by.
Xu Jinglei accidentally slammed her companion's head into a nail in the wall, killing several other companions.
A masked man pointed a gun at Xu Jinglei.
All the viewers who were watching the promotional video were on the verge of raising their throats, staring intently at the screen.
From full of anticipation to disapproval, to nervous and worried, the two-and-a-half-minute trailer makes the audience's hearts feel like they have eaten a roller coaster.
My heart was full of doubts, how did the empty cruise ship come about, why there was no one on the cruise ship, and who was the watchman behind it.
Why did Xu Jinglei kill her companion, and who was the masked man with the gun?
Immediately after the camera turned, the masked man turned into Xu Jinglei, who was holding a gun and pointing at another Xu Jinglei.
", two old Xu!"
"Smack!" a spectator who was looking forward to the follow-up development slapped the keyboard, obviously excited, and frightened the elementary school students who were playing bubble hall next to him.
The other spectators in front of the computer screen had almost the same expressions, all of them looking like they had seen a ghost.
However, the trailer came to an abrupt end here, leaving the words "July 14th, which will be released simultaneously worldwide, so stay tuned!".
Only the bewildered audience in front of the computer was left.
Viewers who don't know why have left messages at the bottom, or posted on post bars and forums to exchange their opinions.
"What's going on in the end, two old Xu suddenly appeared!"
"That masked man is the same as Lao Xu?"
"Are they twins?"
"I guess it's disguised, haven't you seen the real and fake Monkey King!"
"So someone disguised himself as Lao Xu, killed other people, and finally killed Lao Xu?"
"And what's going on with that cruise ship? There's no one, how did it move?"
The two-and-a-half-minute trailer reveals very little of it, and the audience can only make up + guess by themselves, and each expresses their own opinions.
In the following month, various websites released some trailers one after another.
Someone with a heart carefully analyzed and rearranged all the videos, but they couldn't push the complete plot.
People are like this, the more they can't find the answer, the more entangled they are.
In addition, China Film also found some people to guide on the Internet, and it didn't spend too much money during this time to maintain a high popularity.
And Tang An was not idle, and took Xu Jinglei, Lu Yi, and Deng Chao to run around all major cities across the country.
Modu, Tianjing, Taiyuan, Nanjing, Suzhou-Hangzhou, Chongqing, Guangzhou......
There are more than 20 cities, and I basically have to run two cities every three days, and I am familiar with my face in front of the audience.
On June 23rd, I also participated in the premiere of "Initial D", and this movie is still under the banner of the original cast of "Infernal Affairs", which is really speechless.
The autumn name mountain bike god came out of this movie, and Jay Chou's second trip to the big screen was a perfect success.
The box office on the first day was 7 million, 30 million in four days, and as of July 7, the total box office has approached the 60 million mark.
The box office of Hong Kong on the first day also exceeded 4 million Hong Kong dollars, with a cumulative total of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
On Friday, July 8th, Tang An rushed to the CCTV building with the crew to record the movie channel Huaguo Film Report Program.
This is one of the most watched programs on the movie channel, and there are still a lot of viewers watching movies on the movie channel in this era, in addition to showing some TV movies produced by CCTV, it will also play popular movies and classic old movies that have just been drawn.
However, this show is only 20 minutes per episode, which is quite short.
Backstage, Tang An also met the host Tu Wei, who was much younger than what he saw later in some award ceremonies and on TV, after all, he was only 25 years old.
"Hello Miss Tu!"
"Hello Director Tang, hello Lao Xu and Lu Yi!"
Tu Wei smiled and invited them to sit down, and asked someone to bring in a few glasses of water.
"It is an honor for our program team to invite Director Dao Tang to participate in the show, since watching the trailer, I am looking forward to seeing this movie on the big screen soon!"
"Miss Tu is polite, the movie channel is the highest-rated film and television channel in China, and I am also very fortunate to be able to participate in the show!" Tang An smiled.
Tu Wei covered his mouth and smiled, "Director Tang is really polite." ”
"It seems that in addition to Lao Xu, Lu Yi, Deng Chao, and Sun Li are all here for the first time!"
"I've been here twice, but both as a director, and this is the first time I've come as an actor!" Xu Jinglei smiled
"It's the first time, your program team hasn't invited me before!" Lu Yi said with a pretended disappointment.
"It's my first time making a movie, and of course it's the first time I've come to the show!" Deng Chao also smiled.
He had only made one TV movie before in '03, and it was okay to say that it was okay to make a movie for the first time.
"It's my first time making a movie, and I'm very happy to be on this show!" Sun Li said.
After a while, the two sides exchanged ideas about the matters in the upcoming program.
At 10 o'clock, the program officially began to be recorded.
is also an interview program, there is no audience, everyone sits around and chats.
"Welcome to the world of light and shadow, it is said that life is like a play, but drama is also like life, there are also sorrows and joys here, there are ups and downs in life, there is the sadness of the soul breaking the blue bridge, there is the persistence of Forrest Gump, there are you and our similar stories, the life of the miniature, waiting for your participation!"
"Welcome Director Tang An and the main creators of the crew of "Horror Cruise"!"
After an opening remark, Tang An and the others entered the studio.
"Hello host!"
"Hello Director Tang, please take a seat!"
