Chapter 1396 - The Unfavored Man and the Movie
In early April, a movie called "The Raid" was released.
This film, which was produced by Kirin Culture, Baohe Films, and Golden Harvest Films, did not attract much attention at the beginning.
Even "The Raid" has 40 premiere cinemas in Xiangjiang, and it is also released simultaneously in Asia, and the scale is very large.
The reason why everyone doesn't pay much attention is that the protagonist of "Raid" is Yuan Biao, the little brother who always follows Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long.
Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long are ordinary enough, and Yuan Biao is even more ordinary than their two senior brothers, and he is thin and small, so he has not become very popular.
"The Loser" opened the way to stardom for him, but later the big stars in Xiangjiang came out one after another, such as Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Eddie Murphy, Fei Xiang, etc., and left Yuan Biao behind.
Yuan Biao was originally low-key in his life and things, and there was no lace news, so his silence was natural.
In the promotion of "Raid" this time, although it was said that Yin Jun appointed Yuan Biao to star, this is a very exciting movie, but everyone is still more willing to care about other stars with topicality.
For example, Zhang Guorong, who was once again photographed his supermodel girlfriend, walked out of his villa crying and carrying a big suitcase, suspected of making waves in love.
For another example, Zhou Runfa went to the Flying Tigers, specializing in learning shooting and exercising, and also to prepare for the new play, which made the people who eat melons look forward to Zhou Runfa's new shootout film.
As for Yuan Biao's new film receiving such a large theater support, anyone who knows a little about Xiangjiang movies knows that this is a very obvious thing.
The Kylin Cinema Line and the Golden Harvest Cinema Line together have more than 30 movie theaters, and if you find another 10 movie theaters to co-screen, it is a piece of cake when there are more than 160 movie theaters in Xiangjiang today.
Golden Harvest and Kirin's strong overseas distribution capabilities have also contributed to the fact that even if "Raid" is a bad movie, it can be released throughout Asia.
In this regard, the general industry insiders do not have too high an estimate of the box office of "The Raid".
If Xiangjiang can reach a score of 30 million, it will be considered a passing grade.
The whole of Asia can expect about 300 million Hong Kong dollars, after all, the publicity ability and attractiveness of Kirin and Golden Harvest are still very domineering.
In the midst of such a not very optimistic voice, "Raid" ushered in its premiere.
Xiangjiang is a place where projectiles, celebrities don't look up and look down, if it's not too stiff, everyone will give each other face.
What's more, Yuan Biao's senior brothers are Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, and today's producers are still Kirin Movies and Golden Harvest Movies, which they can't afford to offend.
So at the premiere, there were a lot of stars, directors and people in the circle, and almost half of the theater was occupied.
But the person Yuan Biao wanted to see the most didn't come.
Seeing that the movie was about to start, Hong Jinbao, who had finished entertaining the guests, patted Yuan Biao on the shoulder, "Don't think about it, didn't Jun Shao call yesterday and said that there must be no problem? ”
"I know. ”
Yuan Biao smiled bitterly, rubbed his hands, and stomped his feet, "Let's go!"
Seeing his junior brother go in as if he was going to the execution ground, Hong Jinbao couldn't help but smile.
This is not the first time that Yuan Biao has taken the lead alone, but because he was lonely for a while after success, and now he is eager to be prosperous again, so his mentality is a little unbalanced.
But he still underestimated Yin Jun too much.
Of course, Yuan Biao didn't know that Hong Jinbao was going to ask Yin Jun for him.
I don't know that Yin Jun has the heart to create another Xiangjiang kung fu superstar.
Hong Jinbao didn't tell him about this, because he was afraid that he would be proud and that he would run away early.
……
At the same time, about five kilometers away from the premiere venue, it was close to the New Territories, and in another theater where "Raid" was released, Yin Jun and Weng Meiling were already sitting in the box.
There is no way, Xiangjiang is so small, and Weng Meiling's physical characteristics are so obvious.
If she is wearing sunglasses in the theater, so conspicuous, how can people not recognize Weng Meiling?
Although almost a year has passed since "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", people's love for Weng Meiling has not diminished at all.
Seeing the LOGO of the film company appear one by one, Weng Meiling, who was talking to Yin Jun just now, immediately became concentrated.
Weng Meiling's personality is very jumpy, and she doesn't like to watch any tragedies.
She likes to watch comedy, but she doesn't like to watch the kind of hot gunfight movies and action movies.
The reason why I came to watch "Raid" today is entirely because the last time she was depressed, Yin Jun took her to walk around the walled city, saw the scenery of the walled city, and also watched the filming of "Raid".
Since she is destined for her, Weng Meiling naturally wants to see it, and she also called Yin Jun.
Speaking of the relationship between Qiao Ronger and Yin Jun, they are definitely not lovers, but they are definitely much closer than the relationship between good friends.
It is best described in a later sentence.
Friends are above, lovers are not full.
However, Yin Jun is not a spare tire, there are many people who pursue Weng Meiling, but Weng Meiling is not tempted.
In her words, that is, "After becoming famous and popular, I don't even know who takes a fancy to my fame and who likes my looks, but definitely not me as a person." ”
Without the trouble of her boyfriend Tang Zhenye in her previous life, Xiao Nizi is recently filming "Miao Cuihua" prepared for her by Yin Jun, which is very energetic.
The opening scene of "The Raid" is very heartwarming.
As a special police officer, Yuan Biao woke up and kissed his pregnant wife, then knelt in front of the Buddha statue and prayed, while the narrator sounded his father's voice hoping that he would get his brother back.
Then he turned to the SWAT car, and the captain solemnly told the heavily armed SWAT officers about the background, strength and difficulty of the mission this time.
As a movie that focuses on hot action, such a literary drama naturally can't be too long.
With these two plots adding up to less than 8 minutes, the car stopped outside the Kowloon Walled City.
At this time, the director Hung Jinbao gave the audience a particularly bright and three-dimensional overhead shot of the Kowloon Walled City.
The cluttered, dense, dilapidated, and gloomy nature of the Kowloon Walled City gives people a sense of visual impact and makes people feel a little numb.
This also indicates that this time the operation will not be so easy.
Unlike the lonely building in the previous life, the Kowloon Walled City is full of buildings and people, so the time is not in the morning, but late at night.
Only in the middle of the night can this group of heavily armed SWAT officers blend in.
Led by the informants who bought it, they took the path into the building.
Next, it's a familiar gunfight that's similar to the original.
Except for the strafing battle trapped in the middle of the floor, there was more than an hour of fighting, almost one after another, and the high dynasties continued to overlap, even in the upstairs box, Weng Meiling and Yin Jun could hear the exclamations and scolding voices one after another.
Weng Meiling herself was also very nervous, and unconsciously, she had already grabbed Yin Jun's hand.
What the teenager paid attention to observed was not only Hung Jinbao's directing ability, but more importantly, Yuan Biao's performance ability.
After watching a big drama, Yin Jun was relieved.
Hung Jinbao really deserves to be the pioneer of Xiangjiang kung fu films, and even Cheng Long's early movies have to be checked by Hung Jinbao, and his excellence is really obvious.
Yuan Biao's grasp of the rhythm and the essence of the fight were all beyond Yin Jun's expectations.
The fight of Yuan Biao in "Raid" is more natural than the battle of the most exciting Plan A tavern.
And compared with the original version, that kind of ruthless fighting style is not reflected in Yuan Biao, he is very atmospheric, strong and tenacious has not decreased at all, so it is very outstanding.
As the gold medal fighter of the villain, Zhou Bili's performance is also very good, without the madness of the sloppy thug in the original version, but the cold-blooded and indifferent exuded in his bones are vivid, which makes people look amazing.
In the movie theater, Zhou Bili was scolded the most, but the scene of the three-person battle got the most screams and applause.
Whether a commercial movie is good or not, in this era, depends on the decibel of the audience in the cinema.
There is no doubt that The Raid was a success.
When the two brothers said goodbye to each other and left the Kowloon Walled City, the moment the picture froze, the audience erupted in warm applause.
Weng Meiling didn't applaud, but her palms were already full of sweat.
When she leaned back on the sofa and relaxed her tense spirit, she found that her hand was held by Yin Jun's big hand.
Recalling how this happened, Weng Meiling's face turned red.
Coughing lightly, she withdrew her hand and asked Yin Jun as if it hadn't happened, "Ah Jun, why is this movie completely different from your previous style?" cold, depressing, and dark, and the whole article focuses on fighting...... I don't seem to have the slightest meaning to express it!"
"This is a commercial movie, just make the audience cool to watch. Yin Jun smiled, "Look at their performance below, everyone doesn't regret buying this movie ticket, isn't it good?"
"That's right. Weng Meiling tapped the powder.
The first element of commercial movies is to make money, and with the production of "Raid" that Weng Meiling is watching today, it is strange that it does not make money.
The skinny Yuan Biao performed unexpectedly well, and the wonderful fights came in waves, and even a woman like Weng Meiling, who didn't like to watch bloody fight movies, was fascinated, let alone others.
"Let's go, let's go for supper. Yin Jun stood up and stretched out his hand very casually.
"You're not afraid that I'll grow into a fat girl. Weng Meiling muttered, but naturally put her hand on Yin Jun's palm.
Her reassurance about Yin Jun is not a random trust, but after being familiar with it for so long, she knows that Yin Jun is not the kind of person who is frivolous, so she is willing to get close to Yin Jun.
When she was outside, Weng Meiling was reluctant to even shake hands with others!
