Chapter 193: Let's Hit the Street!
What movie is "Leather Lantern 2"?
"I'm sorry, I'm just passing by." 》
"I'm out for a night run, and I'm doing our job, and my body matters. 》
"Cheering? doesn't exist, I just came to smash the scene on purpose. 》
……
The next day, most of Hong Kong's media and entertainment pages were occupied by Chan Ka-lok. The photo of him shaking hands with Jia Liang in a white sportswear was spoofed by these media and marked with slogans.
For example, Chen Jialuo looked at Jia Liang in a wheelchair, and next to his head was: Who is this disabled person?
For another example, Jia Liang: I invite you to watch a movie? Chen Jialuo: Watching your movie, I might as well run at night.
There is also a photo of Chen Jialuo boarding the car, with a sentence: Yes, I deliberately took the car from Guantang to run at night, passing by, really just passing by.
"The most upright director in the entertainment industry - Chen Jialuo, when I say running at night, I am running at night to smash your field. 》
"Chen Jialuo's nature is extremely bad, and he has lost the face of Xu Xian Film Studio and New Art City. 》
"Alone to mock the door, I will serve Chen Jialuo. 》
"Entertainment Production Company: I believe that Chen Jialuo is really passing by, with his qualifications, there is no need to do these boring moves. 》
"Xu Wei Film Studio: Bored, don't reply. 》
Jia Liang told the media that he was wronged, and it was not ruled out that Chen Jialuo did it. 》
"Hong Kong's Most Interesting Director - Chan Ka Lok. 》
"Jia Liang: I have been in the industry for more than ten years, and I have never seen such a personless filmmaker, it's a shame!"
"Chen Jialuo: I really ran by at night, and then when I was tired, I asked my assistant to drive over to pick me up. As for the movie premiere or something, I don't know or be interested!"
……
At this point, everyone can see that Chen Jialuo is really unhappy with Jia Liang. As for the 'passing by' incident at the premiere of "Leather Lantern 2", many people may have various speculations about it, but every time Chen Jialuo mentions Jia Liang or his movie, he doesn't mention a word, which is enough to explain his attitude.
This also leads to many filmmakers and actors being asked this question, and they are talking about him left and right, and it is really inconvenient to participate in this kind of thing.
As for Golden Harvest, from the perspective of film promotion, in fact, I have to thank Chen Jialuo. If it weren't for this passing friend, this premiere would never have achieved such a good effect.
Of course, Jia Liang also understands this truth, on the one hand, he was really angry with Chen Jialuo, and on the other hand, he also seized the opportunity to hype.
And Chen Jialuo doesn't seem to care about others consuming himself at all, and even sending it to others for consumption on the pole also makes many people feel that this guy is still too young to control his temper.
……
"Dog's Tail Continuation Mink's Work - "Leather Lantern 2", Jia Liang is really lucky. 》
"A work of insincerity, the special effects of the first part are generally forgotten, and the special effects of the second part are still terrible, and at first glance it is a movie that is driven out to make money." 》
"If the gap between "Leather Lantern 1" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a small stream, then the second part is a big river compared to "A Chinese Ghost Story". 》
The day before yesterday, I was invited to participate in the premiere of "Leather Lantern 2", I have to say that this sequel is worse than the first one, even if it is a continuation of the dog's tail, it is not an exaggeration, the whole story structure is dull, the actors are rigid, Director Jia Liang hopes that the content grade will be improved, but there is nothing to say.
Originally, I was full of expectations for this movie, hoping that director Jia Liang could break the inherent things and make his own new ideas, but I didn't expect to go back.
To paraphrase the most popular phrase today, that is: the body is important - "Dianyan - Jiang Dachuan".
……
If publicity determines the audience of a movie at the beginning, then the quality and reputation of the film determine the follow-up ability of a movie.
Obviously, "Leather Lantern 2" does not have this ability at all. "Leather Lantern 1" inexplicably achieved a good box office, which also made the entertainment production company and Jia Liang himself full of confidence, according to the practice of Hong Kong films, that is, to hurry up and make a sequel.
The first part has a box office of 20 million, so the second part is not a sincere work, at least don't shoot too badly, it will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
But Yi Neng Production Company and Jia Liang wanted "Leather Lantern 2" to take advantage of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" to be released on the same schedule, so they began to shoot in various ways, Jia Liang's own directing ability is not strong, and the filming is naturally unsatisfactory.
And in order to catch up with the filming schedule, "Leather Lantern 2" took the form of a co-cut shot, and also edited some of the extra scenes from the filming of "Leather Lantern 1" into a movie.
If you want to be brilliant in such a movie, it depends on your luck.
And apparently, Leather Lantern 2 was not lucky. Although the box office was good on the first and second days of Chen Jialuo's passing by, there were soon negative reviews from film critics and audience reputation.
It was also at this time that "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" was about to officially premiere.
"Boss, that "Leather Lantern 2" is really terrible. The special effects, a shabby mess, really can't be watched. ”
In the office, You Nahai said speechlessly: "I quit early like many people, and many people fell asleep, the plot is too dull......
"Ah Hai, you are miserable, dare to go to watch the movie of the boss's opponent, hehehe. You Dazhi laughed and gloated.
Liu Haitang and Zhang Shuping also laughed when they heard this.
Today is a good day, "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" held a premiere ceremony today, and the entire staff of Xu Xian Film Studio is very happy, because they can all go to this premiere.
Chen Jialuo looked at the time and said, "It's almost, let's go! Don't wait for Rong Shao and them to come, and they will completely steal our limelight." ”
"If you go early, you can still get some interviews. Ah Hai, Ah Zhi, you may be able to publish in the newspaper by then. ”
"I believe that other people were robbed of the limelight by Rong Shao, but at this time, how could you be robbed of the limelight by them, the chief helmsman? You single-handedly robbed the limelight of the premiere of an entire movie!"
"So, do you think it's possible for that Jia Liang to learn from the helmsman and come to our premiere to steal the limelight?"
"It's possible ......"
"There is a possibility of a ghost!" Chen Jialuo extinguished the cigarette butt between his fingers and said, "If he comes, he will really bring shame on himself." But I don't think that guy has the guts to do that. ”
Chen Jialuo dared to pass by, because he was confident that his movie was definitely better than "Leather Lantern 2", and when he compared them after the release, he would not be ridiculed.
As for Jia Liang, does he have this self-confidence? Originally, there might be, but now the momentum of "Leather Lantern 2" hitting the street is not enough to support his belief.
Hype is always a means, not an end, and everything has to revolve around a good movie to be rewarded.
