Chapter 42: Worried
Compared with today's film works that can make the hero and heroine spark a spark and quickly fall in love in a few seconds, "Autumn Fairy Tale" is spotless and pure to the extreme. When the superficial form of love is neglected, the subtle and delicate changes in the depths of the relationship will naturally play to the fullest.
As a result, the love performance that the audience sees is a dialogue and exchange of pure hearts. From beginning to end, the bow ruler did not say "I love you" or "I like you very much" as is customary in romance films. That's where Autumn Fairy Tale comes in. - Movie Weekly
It seems to be a simple story, but in an encounter in a foreign country, it touches the heart with a simple and pure love, "Autumn Fairy Tale" It is a fairy tale that belongs to adults and only adults can understand, because this movie is not only about love, but also about the growth of life, and as the plot progresses, the couple played by Zhou Jin and Zhong Qiushui is not suitable at first glance, and the happiness of meeting again after twists and turns is a broken heart that may have been cured by a barrier that may have been reality and no longer believe in love, and call it a mature broken heart. - "Watching the Movie"
……
"Autumn Fairy Tale" was released about three or four days earlier than "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the same period, and the word-of-mouth and box office received a double harvest under the superb acting skills of Zhou Jin and Zhong Qiushui.
This pure love movie has perfectly sublimated the love that people want but can't get in their hearts. For "A Chinese Ghost Story", a movie dressed in the skin of a ghost movie and focusing on love, the impact will definitely not be small.
"Ah Luo, have you watched this movie, it's really good!" Seeing that "A Chinese Ghost Story" was about to be released, Chen Xiaodong said that there was no pressure at all, it was fake.
The midnight preview can only show that the film is recognized by the audience, but if it is impacted by a good film, it will greatly affect the box office revenue. Fortunately, the film studio is backed by Lei Zhen Cinemas, otherwise there is no good schedule and enough theaters, so no matter how good the movie is, it will definitely be a failure.
Liu Haitang pouted and said: ""The Thief of Heaven" was estimated to have a box office of 20 million in Hong Kong at the time, but in the end it only collected 13 million. The current Zhou Jin is terrible. ”
Compared with their love of "Autumn Fairy Tale", Wu Huo, as a young man, scratched his head and said: "I think in terms of expectations alone, I am still looking forward to Fang Long's "Plan A Sequel"!"
In fact
Fang Long, "Plan A Sequel", as soon as these two words appeared, everyone was silent for a while.
Yes, no matter how good "Autumn Fairy Tale" is, it can't be compared with Fang Long's film. This big brother with the No. 1 box office appeal in the film industry, every movie must have entered the top ten box office of Xiangjiang movies over the years, and it is also selling well in Southeast Asia.
The only well-deserved king of Xiangjiang action movies today is Fang Long. His stunts are 'genuine', and they can't be replaced by Hollywood's technology and special photography. It is this kind of adventurous shooting spirit that combines screen heroes with real heroes well, which is also what Fang Long is most proud of.
Every movie of Fang Long is made with his life. When shooting, whether it is a high platform of more than ten meters or various difficult actions, it is the shot that the martial artist of the Fang family class exchanged for his life. Even Fang Long himself almost lost his life when filming "Plan A". The filming of "Plan A Sequel" this time also uses various thrilling actions as gimmicks.
There are any movies that Xiangjiang people can't get tired of watching, that is, Fang Long's action and funny movies, which they can't get tired of watching, so the box office impact is something that no movie can fight.
Compared with the worries of Chen Xiaodong and others, Chen Jialuo shook his head and smiled: "You don't need to be so pessimistic, after all, Lei Zhen Cinema Line has the most theaters, as long as the attendance rate of our movie is okay, it will definitely keep being screened." ”
"And Fang Long's movies are not in the same category as ours at all, no matter how much you want to use romance movies to fight with action movies. As for "Autumn Fairy Tale", its love story is indeed pure and pitiful, but the love of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is completely different from it, and it is a tragedy, and it takes a different route. ”
As he spoke, Chen Jialuo took out a few reports and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Look, our midnight test screening is still very successful." Among them, the film critics and the media who were specially contacted were very face-saving to help with publicity. ”
The success of this midnight test screening naturally made the film studio want to publicize it. Xu You was busy filming the sequel to "The True Colors of Heroes", but he still came back as soon as possible to arrange the publicity before the premiere, and even let Mu Nan's main focus be on this part recently.
Therefore, in the past few days, the voices that originally smeared the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" have almost been buried by the voices of praise.
The only pity is that Wang Xiaoxian's contract was not taken before the midnight test screening, and now that the test screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is so successful, Miss Fang will not let go easily after watching the movie.
The price of 250,000 yuan brought Wang Xiaoxian from Taiwan to Xiangjiang, and arranged countless movie roles, but after all, it was impossible to escape the fate of the vase. The appearance of "A Chinese Ghost Story" this time gave Miss Fang hope. This is an achievement, and the popularity of the actress she discovered with her own hands is a great plus to her reputation.
"Arlo, you have been full of confidence since the beginning of filming, and I have convinced your big heart. "Chen Jialuo's age is younger than Chen Xiaodong, but from a calm point of view, it is a lot worse.
In Chen Xiaodong's view, this is his first film directed, and if it hits the street, the blow will be huge. He has always wanted to transform into a director, and when the time comes, the director and martial arts instructor will be added to shoot what he wants to shoot.
Therefore, for his first movie, he must be very concerned and worried.
And what about Chen Jialuo? This kid's situation is even worse than himself, the first movie of the year collapsed and hibernate in the sand for two years, and now he is back to be the producer, if he hits the street, will there be a boss willing to invest?
Now everyone is rumoring that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is led by Chen Jialuo from casting to shooting, so it means that once the box office of this movie hits the street, he will naturally have the greatest impact.
But this guy seems to be born with a big heart, full of confidence, and has no timidity in the face of box office superstars such as Fang Long and Zhou Jin.
"We just need to do our job now and wait for the premiere of the movie the day after tomorrow. ”
In fact, since the start of filming, Chen Jialuo has been under a lot of pressure. On the one hand, the filming of Xiangjiang Film has the producer's constant urging to compress the shooting cycle, on the other hand, it has to coordinate the time of the actors and staff, and after the shooting, there are various post-production arrangements and even release arrangements, which is a pressure and an opportunity for Chen Jialuo.
As long as he succeeds, he will have a real foothold in Xiangjiang Films.
