Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Premiere of "Modern Bodyguards".

There can be many differences between Hong Kong films and mainland films, such as the electronic review system, the classification system, the sharing of production and publicity theaters, and the market environment, although they are getting closer and closer, there is one unique thing that Hong Kong films do not have in the mainland, that is, midnight screenings, the last normal screening of mainland cinemas is generally at half past 10 or earlier, and the policy, the closing time of shopping malls or living habits determine this hour, but in Hong Kong, half past nine, There will be a midnight show after half past eleven, which is often the audience's favorite time, this is a very special movie-watching experience, these midnight scenes are especially concentrated in the grassroots downtown area, the audience has a mahjong stall that has finished work after work, a group of old boys before or after the night, etc., of course, there are also nightlife star citizens.

In fact, the tradition of Hong Kong movie premieres has been around for a long time, as for why you choose 12 o'clock at midnight, some people say that a new time, a new beginning, a new movie should have a good start, and some people think that the release at midnight at midnight can best represent the popularity of a movie, and no one goes to the scene at midnight for general movies, and the well-made movie Midnight can highlight his popularity, midnight is full, and it is difficult to find a ticket, which has also become a publicity gimmick, and some people think that it is convenient for box office statistics, starting from the early morning is just the beginning of 24 hours a day, so that it is convenient for the film producer to count the box office, and the time point is more accurate。

Some movie premieres are just a test screening before the film is screened, not the premiere of the movie, but a kind of experiment, to see the audience's reaction, to determine the final modification of the film, the real premiere is generally held a week after the test screening, such as "Sweet Honey" After the midnight test screening, director Chen Kexin made modifications, replaced the film before the premiere, and re-edited a different "Sweet Honey".

Wang Zifan is very confident in "Modern Bodyguard", there is no so-called test screening, and he began to prepare for the premiere at Lisheng Cinema on July 26, although the film screening time is 12 o'clock, but in fact, the premiere began to warm up at about 9:30 in the evening.

Don't underestimate this audience, if they don't like it, they will applaud, and if the film is not good, the audience will be very angry and stand up and shout: 'Who is the director?' or: 'Who wrote the script?' pull out that rice bucket!' but when they saw the good show, they also cheered and clapped their hands, like a riot. Therefore, as a Hong Kong film director, you have to get through this, they are the Hong Kong Film and Television Bureau, understand this, you will understand Hong Kong films.

The second batch of admission is reporters, hundreds of people before and after, most of the reporters are invited by Wang Zifan, free admission, and red envelopes afterwards, at ten o'clock in the evening, the invited stars began to enter, Wang Zifan let people spread a long red carpet in the distance between the screening hall and the intersection, the ordinary premiere, forced to instantly improve several grades, these reporters gathered at the door of the screening hall, around the red carpet, facing the well-known stars who entered, The filmmakers clicked to take pictures, large white lights flashed, and the shutter sound was endless, and the momentum was very loud.

"We are also going to hold a premiere like this!" Hong Jinbao, who had just entered, smacked his lips and said to Lin Zhengying and Yuan Di beside him.

Yuan Yan said enviously: "This Ah Fan can always come up with new tricks!"

Lin Zhengying was just about to echo it, and many reporters rushed over as if they had discovered a new continent.

"Hong Jinbao is here!"

"Actually attended the premiere of the Golden Princess!"

"Hurry up and interview!"

Several reporters stopped in front of Hong Jinbao for the first time and asked, "Mr. Hong, are you also here to see the premiere of "Modern Bodyguard"?"

Hong Jinbao's face was excited: "Of course! I am friends with Ah Fan and the bald guy! Of course I want to attend their premiere!"

Yuan Yi hurriedly pulled Hong Jinbao's sleeves, they just received an invitation from Wang Zifan and Mecca to congratulate them, but they didn't expect Princess Jin to make such a big battle, which would be exposed in the newspaper the next day, and their Baohe company would definitely be questioned by the Jiahe boss.

The reporter asked a few questions one after another, and some people even asked Hong Jinbao if he betrayed Jiahe and went to the Golden Princess, and Hong Jinbao was dumbfounded, and finally stepped on the red carpet on the grounds that the stars behind him wanted to enter, and this imitation of the Hollywood Oscar red carpet seemed to have become a sea of knives and flames under their feet, and the most embarrassing thing was to take pictures in front of reporters, and put on a happy smile.

Xu Ke, who had just gotten out of the car, saw this scene and said unexpectedly: "Isn't that Hong Jinbao, why is he here?"

Shi Nansheng thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe it was arranged by Mr. Wang!"

Xu Ke smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Our Boss Wang is too calculating, his age is not proportional to his scheming, I heard that Mecca is also played by him." ”

Shi Nansheng was surprised: "Mecca complained about you?"

Xu Ke shook his head and said, "That's not true, but I can feel that he is very jealous of Mr. Wang!"

Stepping on the red carpet hand in arm, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng were smiling throughout the whole process, but they smiled bitterly in their hearts, compared with Hong Jinbao's popularity just now, it was not half a star, and a few reporters held up their cameras for a long time and didn't press the shutter, which was very embarrassing.

Xu Guanying is here

Xu Guanjie is also here!

Xu Guanwu came, but no one paid attention!

The Xu brothers are the only ones who lack the boss Xu Guanwen!

This premiere invited a lot of insiders, some friends cheered, and naturally there were also uninvited guests!

Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng have been deflated by Cheng Long's kidnapping incident, they have investigated Wang Zifan in detail, and know that the so-called background of the police station is only the light of Ren Dahua, so even if they don't receive the invitation, they dare to come uninvited, and they don't have the slightest scruples.

Time seems to freeze, and countless cameras are pointed at this pedestrian to capture this scene.

Strong, Xiang Huasheng did not attack on the spot, nor did he turn around and run away, that would only appear weak-hearted, give the reporter more fierce information, keep smiling and slipping in, very embarrassed, they wanted to demonstrate, who would have thought that Wang Zifan ambushed so many reporters and filmed a scene of their showing off their might, the current Hong Kong is no longer the era of the underworld covering the sky with one hand, the Chaozhou Gang, one of the four major families of the underworld, that is, the famous lame man, the police said they would arrest it, and they ruthlessly swept away the big brothers, and the Chaozhou Gang, which could be compared with their new Ngee An a few years ago, is now divided and disintegrated, and even the second-rate community is not as good。

……

When Wang Zifan led the core creative staff of the crew to the stage, the entrance ceremony was almost over, and there were more than 1,500 seats in the screening hall, almost all of which were full, and it was still early before the premiere, so the screen did not play the picture, but Wang Zifan, Mecca, Zeng Zhiwei, Zhou Yanfa, Zhong Yihong and others stood on the stage, with Zeng Zhiwei as the emcee.

A brief introduction to the plot of the movie, Zhou Runfa, Mecca, Zhong Yihong and others all interacted with the audience, Zhou Yanfa improvised and sang "Shanghi Beach" at the request of the audience, but the voice was really flattering, Wang Zifan and Zhong Yihong deliberately showed disgusted expressions beside him, but the big hair also knew how to be flexible, and the performance action continued, which finally caused the audience to laugh, which was considered to have passed this level.
