Chapter 183: The Most Unusual One
Chen Jialuo was in the media reporters, but he didn't leave a good impression.
Movies can be left alone, but just this best director, we admit that your previous films are indeed both acclaimed and blockbusters, but they are not confident in your new work, what's wrong?
According to the usual box office results, it is difficult for sequels to surpass the first one, and even most of the sequels have failed, and the word-of-mouth box office has hit the streets.
In gossip newspapers and magazines, in addition to various analyses, Xu Wei's film studio is about to fall apart, the troika of Xu Wei, Wu Yusen, and Chen Jialuo is about to fall apart completely, and the private relationship between the three is complicated, etc., all kinds of dark speculations that sow discord.
Secondly, there are great doubts about Chen Jialuo's casting this time. Among them, the biggest doubts are, of course, Zhang Xueyou and Qiu Shuzhen, the second male and female second.
Both of them are 'scandalous' artists, it is said that Zhang Xueyou was recommended by Leslie Cheung, and Qiu Shuzhen was only met by Chen Jialuo drinking coffee, and then took a fancy to it at a glance......
Is it because he has set up his own film company, so he doesn't care about the movies of Xu Yi Film Studio?
For similar doubts, Chen Jialuo of course scoffed.
When Chen Jialuo filmed the first part of "A Chinese Ghost Story" last year, he chose Leslie Cheung and Wang Guxian, who were sprayed by these media reporters at the beginning, and they were completely blind looking for actors.
Later, the movie was successful and sold well at the box office, and as soon as the wind changed, they praised Chen Jialuo for his active brain and unique vision.
For example, he took a fancy to the crazy fans and outstanding appearance behind Leslie Cheung, playing a weak scholar does not require any acting skills at all, and Leslie Cheung can completely control it.
Nie Xiaoqian is a vase, Wang Guxian's appearance and posture are very consistent, and she is Taiwanese, choosing a Taiwanese beauty to be the heroine is too smart, and naturally absorbs Taiwan's big ticket warehouse.
……
"The most alternative behind-the-scenes filmmaker!"
From the beginning when Chen Jialuo was kicked out of the 'unspoken rules' of Xue Ni, this young director began to come into our eyes.
followed by all kinds of negative news one after another, such as scolding Zhou Yunfa on the set, forcing the assistant director away, and then supervising the production of "A Chinese Ghost Story......
Even in the end, he actually had his own fans on the red carpet of the Academy Awards, and became the biggest winner, taking away the award of Best Director!
His handsome appearance, the aura of returning from abroad, his talent and his extreme attitude in the face of unfriendly media have made him a demon among the filmmakers behind the scenes, one of the most alternative existences.
When such an alternative filmmaker appears in major newspapers and magazines on the streets of Hong Kong from time to time, he is indeed equivalent to a 'star' among filmmakers, and he is an idol and a powerful existence.
The scandals that followed one after another, countless people envied his 'scandals', but there were many actors who hoped to participate in his movies......
Compared with those behind-the-scenes filmmakers who are farther away than actors and singers, Chan Ka Lok is equivalent to a director who has grown up with the eyes of the Hong Kong people. Especially for many young people who aspire to the entertainment industry, with examples like Chen Jialuo in front of them, they may not be able to become actors and singers, but they can try to work behind the scenes in the entertainment industry.
……
"Arlo, do you know the editor-in-chief of "Trend"? The most alternative behind-the-scenes filmmaker, young people nowadays think your title is very cool, especially with such a big close-up on the set. ”
Shi Nansheng was holding a magazine called "Trend" in his hand, and the cover was a photo of Chen Jialuo on the set. In the photo, he is wearing sunglasses, holding a script in one hand and pointing to the distance with the other, and he is very handsome.
"My lord is right, it's not as interesting to promote a movie as it is to promote you. If you are willing to make your debut, it is estimated that many companies are willing to sign you, ahahaha......"
"I admit that I'm really handsome! But my acting skills are not good, and my voice is even more tobacco and alcoholic, what can I do when I debut?" Chen Jialuo shamelessly blackened himself and said: "This "Trend" magazine is very discerning, and it will definitely be popular if it is reported on the contrary, and the sales will not be bad!"
"Hahahaha......"
Shi Nansheng smiled and leaned back, and after a while, he came back and said, "It's set, it will be tested at Lisheng Theater next Thursday night." Tomorrow, you cooperate with Rong Shao and them to go to the commercial station for an interview, and the day after tomorrow, you will lead the team to Tvb to do a program, and the old link ......"
"Sister Nansheng ......"
Shi Nansheng didn't look at Chen Jialuo's pitiful appearance at all, and said categorically: "There is no discussion, you don't work hard to promote your own movie, and who do you expect to promote for you." ”
"Gotta gotcha, I know, I'm leaving. Xu Qian hadn't come back yet, but Chen Jialuo couldn't sit still, so he got up and ran.
Looking at Chen Jialuo, who was gone, Shi Nansheng lit a lady's cigarette and shouted with a smile: "The monk can't run away from the temple, I will inform you of the follow-up publicity arrangements!"
……
If the whole Hong Kong is talking about the publicity and distribution ability of films, the only one who has the ability to wrestle with New Arts City is Golden Harvest.
In this summer file, there is no Fang Long and no Hong Jinbao, Golden Harvest has taken out movies such as "Overlord Flower", "Uncle Zombie" and "Best Loss Friend" in cooperation with Yongsheng, the main promotion is "Best Loss Friend" and "Overlord Flower".
It's just that Lin Zhengying's zombie series of movies has gradually become rotten, and the investment cost is not high, so it is all up to Lin Zhengying to provoke the box office, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Overlord Flower" is an experimental product, similar to "Royal Sister", to see if you can make a series of movies with a female star.
The Golden Harvest movie that can really break hands with "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" is Wang Fatzi's "Best Friend".
It's just that in terms of publicity investment and casting, "Best Friend" is much worse than "A Chinese Ghost Story 2". In addition, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been serialized by Chen Jialuo, and the reputation of the former is there, and the second part is naturally very expected.
Everyone is looking forward to Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian continuing their relationship, and the second part is the two of them joining the filming together, which is undoubtedly not hinting to the audience that the two are going to continue the edge.
Costume films are not working anymore?
Chen Jialuo used "A Chinese Ghost Story" to tell them that there are only movies that don't work, and there are no themes that can't work.
Even after the completion of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", no less than three ghost movies with similar themes were released.
Of course, these movies are shoddy, purely to take advantage of the east wind of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2". The input cost is not worth mentioning, and if you can release it for one more day, you will cheat the box office for one more day. and then use this name to sell it to filmmakers in Southeast Asia......
Chen Jialuo has not yet stood up to criticize this phenomenon, and Jia Liang on the other end has already stepped forward to denounce this phenomenon, completely forgetting that he was once one of them, and he was extremely unsuccessful.
Then, Jia Liang said to Chen Jialuo again: "He was just lucky, this type was filmed early." "Leather Lantern" is better than "A Chinese Ghost Story" in all aspects, and it is also the second part, this time I want to beat Chen Jialuo in the summer file to prove that I am right. ”
