Chapter 15: Word of Mouth (5/6)

(Addendum 25)

Who is Huang Ziheng?

The son of the famous screenwriter and director Huang Baiming...

Who is Huang Baiming?

One of the people in the Hong Kong circle!

The entertainment industry is divided into circles.

Of course, with the invasion of capital and the rise of Internet platforms, the discourse power of this circle has gradually been diluted...

Now it is the rivers and lakes of capital, and entertainment is an industry.

In fact, the attributes of these circles were very literary and artistic at first, and they had a positive impact on the entire industry.

The same is true for the Hong Kong circle!

Huang Baiming is a well-known figure in Xiangjiang, he entered the showbiz as a screenwriter, and the screenwriting of "The Wrong Car", "Best Partner", "Why Have Me" and "The Story of Ah Lang" made the four male protagonists actors.

Later, he served as both a director and an actor, and the director's 5 films broke the Hong Kong box office record, and he himself is also a representative of Hong Kong Chinese New Year films.

New Art City competes with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest and shares the world equally.

From 1980 to 1990, it was a full decade of red.

Later, of course, these circles went sour.

As the times dictate, in the eighties and nineties, people generally had poetry and distant places, and in the new century, we all have a lot of material desires.

The least popular should be xenophobia and monopoly.

This is also the inevitable fate, genetic attribute of the circle.

And then there was the decline of Hong Kong cinema...

In the past, whoever was popular was filmed casually, even if the city lost money, Southeast Asian filmmakers still flocked to it...

Afterward...

Hong Kong movies can't be sold!

With the generation of outstanding old areas, Huang Baiming has become a talker!

Huang Baiming went north to start his journey of making money!

During this time, these people can still play well, the audience has no choice, everyone shoots bad movies, the short ones are tall, Huang Baiming's appeal is okay...

Feng Zhiqiang, screenwriter debut, participated in the screenwriting of "Genesis", and later joined Huang Baiming's company, "A Natural Pair", "Whenever Change", "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", "Wenque" are all his works...

The most important thing is the original time and space, he is the queen screenwriter of Xing Ye!

The screenwriters of "Shaolin Football", "Yangtze River No. 7", "Journey to the West", and "Mermaid" are all him!

……

Looking at Zhou Xing's face that looked like the star master in his memory, Zhang Junsheng nodded: "Okay, you let him come to Yanjing, I'll be free for half a month!"

"Thank you, Director..."

"You are very talented, you can help you speak, it seems that this Feng Zhiqiang is not simple!"

“… Hey..."

Zhou Xing smiled very young...

"Alright, the movie is almost over, let's go on stage!"

At this time, "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" is coming to an end.

On the big screen, Ning Caichen sighed: "Sometimes people's hopes are true and false, and they really can't tell the difference, I only know now, why do you want to escape the world..."

Yan Chixia smiled: "People are forgetful, many things will pass away with the wind, no matter what you have done, you will soon forget!"

Ning Caichen: "Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Should we have hope for the future?"

Yan Chixia didn't answer, looking at the rainbow in front of her...

"How can there be no hope? We fight all the way, not to change the world, but not to let the world change us!"

Bursting with positive energy...

The movie ends...

Zhang Junsheng's "The Road Follows the People" sounded again, this time in Cantonese...

……

"Director Zhang, what is the box office in your mind for this film?"

In the media interview session, the reporter asked the questions that are asked by all film promotion activities.

"I have to emphasize that the director of "The Way of the World" is our teacher Song Xiaofei, and I am just the producer..."

Zhang Junsheng directly dragged Song Xiaofei out: "Teacher Song is 32 this year, and he used to work as a photographer in "A Chinese Ghost Story"!"

“… Then how would you rate "The Way of the World"?"

"Full marks, of course!"

Zhang Junsheng did not hesitate: "Actually, when "A Chinese Ghost Story" was planned, Mr. Song was already there throughout the whole process, so you can clearly see that the style of our films is the same!"

"Moreover, the production cost of the second part has increased by 8 million US dollars compared with the first part, and the increased part, I think everyone can also see that the special effects are very good, right?"

"And what are your expectations for the box office?"

"There must be 400 million in China, after all, the overseas box office has exploded!"

"400 million, this box office is not enough cost, right? Can you be satisfied with such results?" asked a reporter from "Triptych".

"Am I falling behind? Is that number less?"

"We found out that the production cost of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" is $25 million..."

“… This movie is invested and produced by Universal, and the North American box office has made a profit, and the domestic box office is the icing on the cake! Actually, I'm not too greedy, as long as I can surpass "Titanic"!"

It's "Titanic" again...

Can you change the target to touch porcelain?

At the end of the day's event, most of the media pictures used "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", the scene was even more popular, and the plot was bold.

Help say something nice, this can still be done!

The publicity and distribution activities of the Beijing Cinema Line were completed relatively easily.

The reporters asked a few words, and then focused on Xu Yan and Zhou Xing, and Gao Xin and Li Xue also suffered a round of bombing interviews...

At the end of the event, I accompanied several creators to have dinner and went back to the hotel...

Of course, he is not alone, and Li Xue is also with him.

As for Xu Yan and Zhou Xing, they have already taken a plane to Songjiang...

……

After taking a shower, taking advantage of Li Xue's bath, Zhang Junsheng turned on the computer and looked at the reputation of "The Way of the World" while playing with eggs...

No matter how confident you are, the audience doesn't buy it, at most it is self-congratulatory.

"A good "The Way of the World", compared with the first one, is not less spicy, there is more banter, the two romances are just right, and the music is also a trump card. Politics, politics, the ending has to talk about hope, it's really full of positive energy..."

"It's about human affairs, dressed in the cloak of ghosts, all kinds of spicy sarcasm. Thank you to the Directorate General for letting this film show!"

"Except for the role of Ning Caichen, the story and theme of "The Way of the World" have nothing to do with the previous episode. Although the film has the potential to stand on its own, it is always just a sequel movie, but to be honest, this one makes me feel better, and I am looking forward to "Dao Dao Dao"..."

Praise is the majority.

Of course, there are a lot of bad reviews...

"It's so bad compared to the previous episode that I'm speechless..."

"The dog's tail continues to be mink, I don't know what to do!"

"Some sequel movies are completely overshadowed by the first one, and the basic routines and tricks are all followed, and they are not good-looking, what is the meaning of such a movie?"

"The storyline sucks..."

"Bad movie, don't explain..."

Thousands of comments, all of which are about the same criticism, it is clear that this is someone organizing a concentrated hack...

Quickly dialed the phone number of An Yugang, the head of the Propaganda Department, and asked him to pay attention to the situation at any time.

"Find out who's hacking us..."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng fell into deep thought.

Dongyang Media?

They shouldn't dare, the Huang brothers are betting on the National Day file this year...

Who would that be?
