Chapter 254: "Jianghu Love" premiered
Then, on the second day, the major newspapers and magazines were almost slaughtered by the people of the old boys.
"Another innovation in the history of Hong Kong cinema - The Man of the Troubled Boy is in the rivers and lakes", a new theme film that creates history!"
"Debao is arrogant, threatening to use a group of film and television newcomers, calling big-name stars such as Zhou Runfa and Leslie Cheung, I don't know how thick the sky is!"
"Debao's move, is it a thousand pounds, or is it a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?"
"Pan Disheng: I will redefine the shooting technique of Jianghu films!"
“……”
I have to say that Pan Disheng's press conference had a really good effect, far better than Li Yadong's previous advertising investment, which completely pushed the people of the old boy in the rivers and lakes to the forefront.
Although there are many articles in newspapers and magazines about this film, it is undeniable that it has indeed become popular and has made the whole of Hong Kong well-known.
And these can be regarded as unexpected joys for Li Yadong, although Pan Disheng told him about the press conference, but who expected the effect to be so good?
I'm not afraid of being scolded, I'm not afraid of being looked down upon by others, the key is that I'm afraid of not being famous!
This matter caused a lot of uproar, and Golden Harvest and Xinyi City naturally learned the news for the first time.
Jiahe didn't mention it, Liu Zetao saw that the people of the old boy were hyped like this by Debao, and he didn't dare to reveal that he had contacted Li Yadong and reviewed the film.
As a producer, he knows very well that a movie is so famous that no matter how bad it is, it will definitely not be a problem to keep the cost, and in case, ......
He also read the newspaper this morning, at least Pan Disheng is right, this movie does belong to a new theme.
What if the audience is used to eating fine grains, and wants to change the coarse one this time?
It's not that this possibility is impossible, society is developing, life is improving, and the real appetite of the audience, no one dares to say that it can be completely controlled.
Therefore, he felt that it was better to forget about this incident and act as if it had not happened.
And the new art city here.
As soon as he got to work in the morning, Huang Baiming received a call from his boss Lei Juekun, who had reported to Lei Juekun about this movie when the people of the old boy were advertising in Jianghu earlier.
The evaluation given at the time was: small cost, slightly new, too rough, market acceptance has a polarizing trend, even if the audience can accept it, the box office is estimated to not exceed 10 million.
"Ah Ming, have you heard of the press conference on Debao's side yesterday, the newspaper is about to give the slaughter edition this morning, I just want to ask, your evaluation of their movie before, is it reliable, they are now scheduled on our first day, don't overturn in the gutter then." ”
Huang Baiming held the telephone in his hand, because he was a little late for the party last night, and he hadn't woken up much, sitting lazily on the boss's chair, and said very disdainfully: "Lei Lao, don't worry, you don't know Pan Disheng, you don't know that person, I always like to do these things, Debao is now nervous, and the popularity of the theater has not been able to rise, I guess he has changed his business strategy, and plans to start from the publicity aspect, trying to break through, but the quality of the film is there, and the audience is not stupid. ”
He paused at this point, and then continued: "What do you think, their movie doesn't even have a star, it's all cucumber eggs, I've seen the film, and the acting skills can only be said to be average, no matter how popular it is, where can it be popular? ”
"Hmm...... You have a point, the work on the theater side must be arranged, even if you lose, you can't lose too ugly!"
"Got it, Lei Lao. ”
In fact, people here in Xinyi City also know that compared with "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Jianghu Love", both in terms of production costs and casting, they are a lot worse, and it is not easy to get through it.
In the internal meeting, the company's goal is that as long as the box office gap is within three million, they will win.
Because the investment in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is three million less than that of "Jianghu Love".
As for the people who are in the rivers and lakes, they are not in the scope of their comparison at all, because they are disdainful.
……
There are pros and cons to fame.
I didn't think it before, but since this morning, a large number of onlookers have suddenly poured out on the filming set in Causeway Bay. Some people happened to be passing by to watch, while more people came specially to see the style of this play in advance.
There were so many people that the filming could not be carried out for a while, and finally Wu Zhixiong had to summon people to maintain order on the scene.
However, under Li Yadong's instructions, hundreds of horses tried their best to remain polite, only lining up a wall to prevent onlookers from entering the set, and never moved.
After all, they are all food and clothing parents.
The filming was not smooth, but everyone in the crew had a smile on their faces, and the ultimate purpose of filming was to show people.
"Brother Dong, look, there are still people holding our posters over there!"
Chen Xiaochun looked excited, it happened that there was no role for him in this scene, and he sat next to him and chatted with Li Yadong.
Li Yadong smiled, "What's this, now the newspapers are full of your promotional photos, in a sense, you are already stars, and some fans are normal." ”
"Fans?"
"That's what it means to be a starchaser. ”
"Oh......" Chen Xiaochun was very excited, half a month ago, he couldn't think of this situation, he suddenly thought of something, stabilized his mind, looked at Li Yadong with his eyes, and said sincerely, "Brother Dong, thank you!"
"Okay......" Li Yadong smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "If you really want to thank me, work hard and improve your acting skills, to be honest, your current acting skills are really bad enough." ”
Chen Xiaochun smiled awkwardly and nodded vigorously.
……
A few days flew by.
In the anticipation of many people, the hand-to-hand battle between the three major theater chains finally began.
On May 21st, "Jianghu Love" was officially released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, and it was also a full-line joint screening.
At the same time, Liu Weiqiang also led the crew to nervously deal with the post-production of "The Man of the Troubled Boy in the Rivers and Lakes".
Li Yadong undoubtedly couldn't help with this matter, and Zheng Yijian and the five of them couldn't help either, so Li Yadong simply gave them a holiday.
In the afternoon, after Gu Tianluo went home to rest for a long time, he ran to the roof dormitory, and Li Yadong simply took him and Qi Hu to the Golden Harvest Cinema in Causeway Bay.
As for Qi Long, he was forced to go to the Stock Exchange early in the morning to squat.
Golden Harvest's cinema in Causeway Bay is huge, with 1,500 seats and nine screening halls.
After Li Yadong and the three of them bought tickets and went in, they did not go directly to find seats, but wandered around the theaters.
I have to say that the box office appeal of the stars is really strong, but it is only an afternoon show, and the attendance rate is as high as eighty.
If you say that there is no pressure in your heart, it is also fake, Golden Harvest's earlier advertisements are also very fierce, and many trajectories have changed from the previous life, full of unknowns.
Li Yadong has watched this film several times, and he is not very interested, while Gu Tianlu and Qi Hu are enjoying the film with relish, he is observing the changes in the expressions of the audience around him.
In general, everyone is very involved, and their emotions will fluctuate with the movie, and when Fa Ge was injured, there was a lot of scolding on the scene.
If a movie can do this, it can probably be considered a good movie.
After the film was reflected, Li Yadong asked Gu Tianlu and Qi Hu to go home first, while he himself rode a motorcycle to Debao Company.
In the president's office.
Pan Disheng looked at him with a light smile and asked: "The momentum of "Jianghu Love" is very strong, just in the morning and afternoon games, the box office data has already exceeded one million, and there will be the hottest night gold field next, is there any pressure?"
Li Yadong sat on the sofa chair and shrugged his shoulders, pouted and said: "Pressure, there is always a point, you also know that the investment in "Jianghu Love", including the cast, is the strongest among the three movies, and the box office will definitely not be bad." Still, again, I have faith in my films. ”
Pan Disheng smiled and did not speak.
Li Yadong knows that the pressure he is under is much greater than himself, in case the box office of "The Man Who Goes Crazy is in the Jianghu" is too poor. He, including Debao, is estimated to be despised to death by the media.
"Boss Pan, don't worry, I've already passed by phone, and the full version of the demo tape will be delivered within an hour at the latest, I believe it will give you the same confidence as me." ”
"Oh?" Pan Disheng smiled and nodded, "I hope so." ”
About half an hour later, Liu Weiqiang hurried over, took out a box of video tapes from his personal pocket, and solemnly handed it to Li Yadong, "A total of twenty-three boxes have been made, and the others have been sent to Manager Fang, which is the only extra box." ”
"Good work, stupid. Li Yadong patted him on the shoulder, held up the tape and gestured to Pan Disheng, "Let's take a look." ”
"Okay. ”
With that, the three of them came to the company's small screening hall and spent ninety-three minutes watching the whole film completely.
"Smack!" Pan Disheng only felt the blood boiling all over his body, and slapped him heavily on the leather sofa chair, "It's enjoyable!"
Li Yadong and Liu Weiqiang looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
"Dong Zai, to be honest, this should be the most enthusiastic Hong Kong movie I have ever seen, and when I watched "The True Color of Heroes" last year, I didn't feel like this!" Pan Disheng said with some excitement.
"Now you have confidence?" asked Li Yadong with a smile.
"It's a must!"
"Haha......"
In the evening, the three of them, plus two executives from Debao, had a meal together, eating slowly, until it was close to ten o'clock, and then returned to the company building.
After drinking a few more pots of tea, almost waiting for half past eleven, Fang Haobo pushed the door in.
"Mr. Pan, the premiere box office of "Jianghu Love" came out. ”
"Oh?" Pan Disheng subconsciously looked at Li Yadong before asking, "How much?"
"One million eight thirty thousand!"
