Chapter 43: You Sing and I'll Appear (Part II)
PS: The second update, ask for a recommendation ticket!
"Good calculation!"
Jiang Zhiqiang slapped his thigh, "Princess Jin used the parade to kill chickens and monkeys, and lowered the ticket price to deliberately provoke confrontation." It not only shows domineering, but also diverts attention. Lei Yunqing is really not simple. ”
On the coffee table, there is the two-day screening data of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night".
The protests created momentum for the film and attracted a lot of attention. Naturally, it also led to the growth of the box office. But I didn't expect Princess Jin to react faster, and simply "make a mistake a mistake" with this wind, and played table tennis with Jiahe and Debao.
The film market, which was originally full of flowers, suddenly entered three companies and beat each other. The works of small film companies are afraid of being implicated, and they dare not blatantly oppose the Big Three. But this took advantage of the three major intentions.
Lei Yunqing, Lei Dashao, and Golden Harvest started a tacit cooperation. Fight for the head to break the blood, but keep clearing people to appear. Soft knives, killing without seeing blood! Lowering the ticket price is a very low-end trick, but it is enough to attract the wandering audience into the theater.
"Did you get past the Chu River with that horse?" a man next to him who looked a little similar to Jiang Zhiqiang pointed to the chessboard in front of him and asked.
"Little pawn?" Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at his eldest brother and shrugged, "One day~ he will become a cannon, a horse, or even a car." I'll take care of him!"
"Then wait until he becomes a cart and a cannon. Jiang Zhiwen raised his hand and stepped on his brother's pawn with a horse, and said disdainfully, "The pawn who can't cross the river can't talk a lot......"
"Try and don't die. ”
Jiang Zhiqiang didn't care about the arch pawn, "How do you know which one will kill the old handsome if you don't try?" Jiang Ershao's eyes were excited, and he was very gambling.
In Wan Chai, a skinny man hurriedly walked out of the newspaper office, and a red rooster rolled up the window not far away, and a fat shadow flashed. The car made a U-turn and returned to Causeway Bay.
Meanwhile, at Tuen Mun Pier, a man with a pale yellow face left Hong Kong by boat.
Tea Restaurant.
Several people gathered around a long rectangular table.
"Big guy. Fei Cheng pushed the door and walked in, nodding slightly towards Wu Xiaozu.
"The stage was set, we sang the first scene, and all the famous actors were on stage. Wu Xiaozu's gaze turned to Su Liyao.
"Kim... Princess Jin and Xu Yu are very beautiful, and they have run four or five theaters in a row to publicize. The three major female stars all rushed to the stage one after another. As for Golden Harvest and Debao, the response was just as fierce. They have also stepped up their propaganda efforts. It's all today's newspaper. ”
With a stack of newspapers on the table, Su Liyao continued, "There are filmmakers in the newspaper who stand up and praise "Dao Ma Dan", and there are also media who mock Princess Jin. However, it did not affect the box office of "Knife Horse", on the contrary, the box office increase of "Butcher on a Rainy Night" did not meet expectations. If public opinion gets stronger and stronger, several theater owners won't hold on, I'm afraid ......"
Public opinion is a weapon that can kill. If it is really one-sided, then "Butcher on a Rainy Night" is really miserable.
Fortunately, there is chaos on the stage now, and Princess Jin really seized the opportunity, so "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" was really cut in half.
"Big guy. Fei Cheng pointed to the TV, and everyone heard it.
On TV, ATV's noon news: "Last night, there was the first resistance video march since the opening of the port in Mong Kok, Hong Kong Island. The leader is Wang Yucai, the representative of the Taxi Association. He was followed by the families of many victims who were brutalized by Lin Guoyun and a group of taxi drivers. At 10 o'clock this morning, the head of the taxi association responded to the incident......
The person concerned believes that the development of the film industry on Hong Kong Island is booming, and the quality of the films is uneven. said that the boycotted film was vulgar and bloody...... "Dao Ma Dan" is a perfect combination of art and commerce......"
On TV, the host briefly broadcast the news. Among them, it focused on praising Xu Yu's "Sword and Horse" and belittled a vulgar and bloody film.
"The golden princess has made a force!"
Countless people with hearts have seen the shadow of the golden princess. I don't know how hard they went to get ATV to come out and help them stand on the platform! By boycotting the wave of demonstrations, they sold their own films.
Slip away!
Sure enough, that afternoon, Princess Jin grabbed the eyeballs.
""Dao Ma Dan" will participate in the opening of the Tokyo Film Festival! The three actresses are full of confidence!" - "New Evening News". In the newspaper, the three actresses are smiling brightly, and behind them is a huge poster of the new drama "Dao Ma Dan", which is quite conspicuous.
Hong Kong Islanders are not interested in evening newspapers, but as the only remaining long-standing evening newspaper reading on Hong Kong Island, "New Evening News" also has its due influence.
This kind of handwriting is Shi Nansheng's style at first glance.
As a woman who was praised as a "leader in the media industry" by He Zuozhi, the behind-the-scenes boss of Hong Kong Island's famous media tycoon Commercial Channel, Shi Nansheng is not ordinary.
She has an extraordinary influence in traditional media such as television and radio. In a short period of time, he took advantage of this wind to create a news campaign conducive to "Dao Ma Dan".
Hong Kong Island is looking forward to the recognition of itself by the outside world, and the fame of international film festivals and the like is not lost to the desire of mainland filmmakers in the 90s.
Shi Nansheng played beautifully.
She is the only one in the film studio who would think of using the east wind to promote the film. This is the case with "The True Colors of Heroes", and even more so with "Sword and Horse".
Xu Yi is a genius, but by no means a good businessman. Shi Nansheng's ability to transfer flowers and trees with strength is quite standard. This was reflected in the night's box office results.
"The Butcher on a Rainy Night" was dismal at the box office, and "Accidental" and "Sea Flower" were also difficult to resist. If there is no movie to resist, the seat of the top ten grossing movies of the year in "Dao Ma Dan" should not be able to run.
Golden Harvest and Debao will naturally not be tied up. Debao leveraged TVB to promote "Accidental" as a youth film. Zhang Guolu's appeal to young people in the field of youth films is not trivial.
Since the film, youth films have become Zhang Guolu's label. "Bravo", "Unemployed Student", "Drummer", and "Youth on Fire" are each very popular. He, Chen Baiqiang and Paul Zhong were nicknamed "The Three Princes of Central".
"Accidental" has a good plan, and "Sea Flower" has a wall ladder.
Luo Dayou, a Hong Kong and Taiwan musician, joined hands with Zhenni, a big star in the music world, to sing the song of the same name in the film "Sea Flower". Zhang Aijia also appeared frequently and increased publicity, which was particularly lively.
……
As a party concerned, Xu Yi's mind was not focused on the disturbances outside. Holding a book and chatting and flipping through it. Wu Siyuan's suggestion gave him the idea of adapting the story in Pu Songling's "Liao Zhai" into a movie.
Xu Yu is as stable as Mount Tai, and his housekeeper Shi Nansheng shuttles between the high-level officials of various newspapers, radio and television stations. The vigorous and resolute appearance is more straightforward and free than a man.
Wu Xiaozu is envious of Xu Yu's good luck. chose a woman who allowed him to make movies with peace of mind, without worrying about the outside world, and fighting for him. Even if the two parted ways in later generations, Old Monster Xu still couldn't do without Shi Nansheng. It is the fulfillment of Yily's vision and that message.
The box office momentum of "Sword and Horse" has skyrocketed!!
The situation of the golden princess is very good!
