Chapter 217: The Battle for the Box Office (7)
The stunning appearance of Simei in the play completely drove the lively atmosphere in the field, and when Wang Zheng took Chen Long and other main creators on the red carpet, the shouts and roars of the onlookers rushed straight into the sky above the western district of Central.
Immediately after that, TVB's famous students, film celebrities, and music celebrities walked on the red carpet one after another, and the lively atmosphere of the scene was also pushed to a climax, and even the Hong Kong government officials and celebrities who appeared later were warmly welcomed by the onlookers.
After the red carpet, the guests and the audience who were lucky enough to buy tickets for the premiere gathered in the theater screening room, and more than 1,000 seats in the hall were instantly filled.
Looking at the overcrowded thousand-person screening hall with no vacant seats, Wang Zheng felt for the first time that the screening hall in this era was "too small", because of the increase in the number of guests, many audiences could not line up for the premiere.
The audience sat down, and Fang Yihua took the stage to speak on behalf of Shaw Brothers, saying some words of thanking the guests and thanking the audience, and then expressed some prospects for the first cooperation between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, in short, they were all official scenes.
finally waited for Fang Yihua to finish speaking, He Guanchang then spoke on behalf of Jiahe, and what he said was exactly the same as the former, and Wang Zheng was sleepy when he heard it.
"Zheng, it's time for you to speak on stage!"
Just when Wang Zheng was half-asleep and half-awake and wandering into the void, Guan Zhilin beside him pushed him, only to realize that the two "chatters" had finished speaking, and the eyes of the audience were focused on him at this moment.
Wang Zheng's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he tidied up the tie around his neck, and then came to the stage below the screen, and took the microphone handed over by the staff: "Ahem, Manager Fang and Boss He said very well, I finished saying everything I wanted to say, I won't waste everyone's viewing time, and start the screening of the film directly, this is my first action comedy with Brother Chenlong, the shortcomings, please comment more." ”
As Wang Zheng's words fell, there was a burst of warm applause at the scene, and I don't know whether they applauded Wang Zheng's last sentence or applauded that they could finally watch the movie.
In addition to Wang Zheng's fans, there are also Chenlong's fans, although they belong to two different camps, but the people who can come to the premiere must be hardcore fans.
On the big screen, after the classic company logos of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, the next thing to appear is Chenlong's new company Weihe, and a purple lilac Zheng Fei Xingwei.
Weihe Film Company is a company that was founded not long after Chenlong, the previous film company was called Boxing, and it was also the production company of "Plan A 1".
The opening of the film reviews the wonderful trailers in the first story, which is accompanied by the song "New Peak" sung by Chenlong, and the review of the plot is to make the audience more smooth when watching the sequel, and the song is to let the audience better accept Chenlong's original dialogue.
Wang Zheng's intentions have been very effective, and as the plot slowly unfolds, no audience feels that Chenlong's original voice has any sense of disobedience.
Although a very small number of viewers found that Chenlong's voice was a little different from the voice in the first play, after slowly getting acquainted with it, they felt that there was a rough voice in the sequel, which gave people more comfort and coordination.
After the bland plot that introduces the background of the story, the kung fu stunt fight ensues, and the showdown between Xiangjiang boxing champion Chen Huimin and Chen Long in the teahouse opens the audience's eyes.
ended a stunt fight, and the comedy part followed, Wang Zheng's cameo made the audience's eyes shine, especially the long shot of nearly five minutes, which made the industry insiders in the guest seat very admired, although the audience couldn't distinguish between long shots and short shots, but they were amused by the next funny scenes.
From the moment Ma Rulong went straight to the boudoir of the Hong Kong Governor's daughter, the laughter in the screening hall did not stop, and continued until several protagonists gathered in the house on Gefu Street, and the laughter in the audience had turned into laughter, and the audience was amused to lean forward and backward, which was not inferior to the exaggerated picture that Wang Zheng saw when "Lucky Stars Shine" premiered.
Time passes in a wonderful and compact plot, and before you know it, the sequel story ends in Chenlong's thrilling and exciting fight, watching the Manchu prince be slapped to the ground by Dong Bi, as the Manchu Guan Zhilin, you asked: "Do the Han people really hate us Manchus so much?"
Wang Zheng smiled slightly and said: "It is not the Manchus who hate, but the Manchu government, the incompetence of the Manchu government, which has set back the Chinese civilization, which is the world's first, by more than 50 years, and even made the Chinese people suffer from the invasion and humiliation of foreigners." ”
...
Traditionally, the quality of a film is judged by the amount of applause that the audience receives after watching the film.
Judging from the continuous warm applause of the audience, the sequel story is undoubtedly a very good film, Golden Harvest as the host, after the end of the film, the guests who came to the banquet to cheer.
When the banquet was over, Wang Zheng and Guan Zhilin got on a luxury yacht to Macau and started a romantic journey on Valentine's Day.
......
Macau, night.
The streets are bustling with traffic, shops of all kinds, lit up by bright lights, and bustling with couples on both sides.
Like other couples, Wang Zheng and Guan Zhilin spent the rest of their time shopping at a high-end Western restaurant after dinner.
Never underestimate every woman's desire to buy, Guan Zhilin is the same, in addition to choosing clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and bags for himself, he also selected a few sets of casual suits for Wang Zheng, until he couldn't mention it, Guan Zhilin was willing to give up and returned to the booked hotel together.
......
Grand Hotel Lisboa, 11 p.m. sharp.
"Jiahui, are you asleep?"
After confirming that Guan Zhilin on the bed had fallen asleep, Wang Zheng put on his clothes, tiptoed out of the bedroom, and opened the door outside the living room, and Liang Kun was already waiting outside the door on time.
"Brother Zheng, everything is arranged, the helicopter is already waiting on the roof of the hotel, ready to take off at any time. ”
Wang Zheng put on a mask and a cap, and asked in a low voice: "I'm not being followed by the paparazzi, don't let your sister Zhizhi know, otherwise you will be jealous." ”
Liang Kun smiled and said in the same whisper: "Brother Zheng, don't worry, before I came up, the two paparazzi who were wandering at the door of the hotel were invited to tea by the brothers here in Macau." ”
"That's good, hurry up and go, go and come back quickly. ”
made it like a spy joint, Wang Zheng was also very helpless, that is, he promised Wang Guxian to go to the airport to see her off, and he couldn't let Guan Zhilin eat vinegar indiscriminately, so in desperation, he had to make this decision.
Fortunately, with Liangkun helping in it, with the flight speed of a helicopter, after sending Wang Guxian to board the plane, he should be able to hide from Guan Zhilin, who was already asleep.
The helicopter quickly shuttled through the dark night sky and flew towards the Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong.
...
In the terminal of Kai Tak Airport, in the waiting hall of the flight from Xiangjiang to Baodao, Wang Guxian was repeatedly looking at the watch time on his wrist, the time had come to 11:15, and the person who promised to see her off was still missing.
Seeing that her baby daughter had been staring at the watch time, Wang's mother asked with concern: "Xiaoxian, you are about to board the plane, are you waiting for someone with such an anxious look?"
Wang Guxian wrinkled his straight jade nose and said coquettishly: "Mom, don't ask so much, we'll board the plane when the time comes." ”
Not far from the mother and daughter, there sat a middle-aged fat man in a suit and leather shoes, full of fat and swelling of a precious suit, coupled with a shiny big back, full of explosive looks.
The middle-aged fat man's name is Zhu Wangtian, a jewelry merchant who shuttles between the two places of Xiangjiang Treasure Island, as his name suggests, with his fat body, if he looks up at the sky, it will be very laborious, and "pig looking at the sky" is as difficult.
Wang Guxian's elegant and refined temperament, as well as his beautiful appearance, had long attracted Zhu Wangtian's attention, and while there was still a period of time before boarding, he dragged his fat body to the mother and daughter.
"Hello, this beautiful young lady, contemptible Zhu Wangtian, is a jewelry merchant, can you get to know each other with the young lady?"
After Zhu Wangtian finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand full of jewels and rings to Wang Guxian. No matter how beautiful a woman is, after seeing him with a five-gem ring in his right hand, he will greet him with a smile, and the winner will directly throw himself into his arms.
Wang Guxian glanced at Zhu Wangtian lightly, and said politely: "I'm sorry, this gentleman, I don't think there is any need for this." ”
Zhu Wangtian, who was rejected, was obviously stunned, in his values, there is nothing that money can't solve, and the rejection must be because the price is not enough, he smiled and said: "Beautiful young lady, don't be busy refusing, maybe we can exchange contact information, and when you get to the treasure island, you have time to have a drink, maybe it will change your attitude." ”
Wang Guxian looked innocent on the surface, and he didn't look like he could eat the fireworks of the world, but he was very clear about the intentions of the middle-aged fat man in front of him, and in addition to dealing with it with a disgusted and indifferent expression, he couldn't find the right words to fight back for a while. Wang's mother also glared at Zhu Wangtian angrily.
"I don't think this beautiful lady is available. ”
Just when the mother and daughter didn't know how to fight back, Wang Zheng, who was on a helicopter, finally arrived at the airport terminal.
"Brother Zheng, I thought you weren't coming. ”
Seeing Wang Zheng appear, Wang Guxian looked overjoyed, quickly came to him, grabbed his arm and said with some grievances.
Wang Zheng patted the back of her hand to comfort her, and said warmly: "I will definitely do what I have promised, but I will be a little late, and you will be harassed by a lewd fat man." ”
Wang Zheng, who suddenly came out, made the middle-aged fat man Zhu Wangtian extremely unhappy, and shouted: "Pretty boy, pay attention to your words, who is the obscene fat man, I am Zhu Wangtian, a well-known rich man in Xiangjiang..."
Without waiting for the well-known billionaire Zhu Wangtian to finish speaking, Wang Zheng said to Liang Kun, who came later: "Kun Zai, take this Mr. Zhu Wangtian to calm down." ”
"Okay, Brother Zheng. ”
Liang Kun was very measured, and without giving Zhu Wangtian a chance to shout loudly, he quickly pinched his wrist and dragged him out of the waiting hall.
"I said why did this little girl stay up all night, it turned out that she was waiting for Ah Zheng you. ”
Seeing Wang Zheng suddenly appear, in addition to saying hello, Wang's mother also counted her baby daughter down, which aroused Wang Groupxian's dissatisfaction, and Wang's mother hurriedly excused herself to go to the bathroom and not disturb the conversation between the two.
Looking at the back of Wang's mother in the distance, Wang Zheng smiled slightly: "Aunt Wang is still very cute, with such a mother, Xiaoxian, you must be very happy!"
Wang Guxian also looked at Wang's mother's back, nodded with a chuckle: "Well, although she is usually very verbose, I have to meddle in everything, but she is the best mother in the world..."
Suddenly thinking that Wang Zheng was born as an orphan, Wang Guxian hurriedly stopped praising his mother.
Wang Zheng smiled indifferently and took the initiative to change the topic: "Xiaoxian, you have returned to Treasure Island, when "Goodbye Seven Days of Love" is released on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you don't need to go back to Xiangjiang to attend the premiere." ”
Wang Guxian nodded and said, "At that time, the Baodao branch will arrange a premiere on Baodao, and I just need to attend there!"
Wang Zheng nodded, he didn't know what to say for a while, and the same was true for Wang Guxian, before the person arrived, there were thousands of words to tell, and he finally waited until the person came, but he didn't know how to speak.
It wasn't until the boarding announcement sounded in the waiting hall that Wang Guxian said: "Brother Zheng, if you are not banned from entering the country, will you come to the treasure island to see me during the New Year?"
Wang Zheng did not hesitate at all, nodded and said, "Of course it will." ”
Wang Guxian smiled, glanced at Wang Zheng deeply, and said, "I have to go!"
"Okay, spend more time with your parents and relatives at home, and we'll see you in the next year. ”
It was just a short parting, Wang Zheng didn't want to be too sad, and kept smiling and watching Wang Guxian's mother and daughter walk into the boarding gate, before putting away the smile on his face.
The dead fat man named Zhu Wangtian dared to tease the little sage goddess who he didn't dare to blaspheme, he was really tired and crooked.
