Chapter 392: Rushed Release
After hanging up Wang Jing's phone, Chen Lang was in a good mood, and even a little excited that he couldn't sleep, and tossed and turned for a long time before he really fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Chen Lang picked up the newspaper on the table and read it when he came back from running.
"The box office of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" shrank by 60%, and the box office only earned 430,000 Hong Kong dollars the next day!" --- Ming Pao
""Interstellar Blunt Tire" exposed the nature of bad movies, and the box office plummeted the next day!" --- Oriental Daily
""Interstellar Blunt Tire" and Shaw Brothers were scolded by fans!" --- Hong Kong Economic Journal
……
The newspapers were all about the box office crash of "Interstellar Blunt Tire", and the record-breaking box office results on the first day slapped all film critics and newspaper media in the face, and now there is a sharp decline in the box office, which naturally attracts a crazy counterattack from film critics and media who have lost face.
Although Chen Lang felt that these media had no discipline, he was still very happy in his heart, the lower the box office of "Interstellar Blunt Tire", the greater the chance of winning his bet, and "Happy Ghost" could be released earlier and seize the Spring Festival stalls.
"Little brother, what do you see? Why are you smiling so happily? Chen Yun looked at his younger brother and smiled a little strangely, and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, my first movie "Happy Ghost" is about to be released, so I need to bring more people to cheer on when the time comes." Chen Lang hurriedly covered up.
"Of course, I've already told my classmates that I'll definitely go to see it then, but when will "Happy Ghost" be released?" Chen Yun asked.
"This specific schedule has not yet been determined, but it should be soon." Chen Lang immediately began to gobble up after speaking, and after eating, he continued to start the promotional activities of his own movie.
After Chen Lang came to the company, he turned around left and right, and found that many departments of the company had nothing to do, and at present, only two teams in the company were running at high speed, and the other departments were very idle except for the propaganda department that was still arranging the publicity activities of "Happy Ghost".
"Minister Chen, what is our propaganda campaign today?" Chen Lang looked at the head of the Propaganda Department and asked.
"There's a "Happy Tonight" show to participate in tonight." Minister Chen replied.
"Then please contact Li Lizhen and Chen Baixiang and participate in the publicity together in the evening." Chen Lang said happily.
Minister Chen was a little puzzled, he was still in a low mood when he saw the little boss yesterday, why did he suddenly look radiant today?
At nine o'clock in the evening, several key members of the "Happy Ghost" crew were already waiting for the back of "Happy Tonight".
"Attention to the audience in front of the TV and at the scene, this one below is a super popular idol, and you are guaranteed to scream." Fat Shen Dianxia shouted exaggeratedly, "Okay, don't say much, please our super idol, Lang Lang." ”
"Optimistic and unclosed (happy ghost!) Happy ghost! )
Every day I worry about no one (I don't want to control it!) I don't want to! )
Always pretend to be deceitful and deceitful (happy ghost!) Happy ghost! )
Happy Stack Ghost (Happy Ghost!) The hurried time will pass in a blink of an eye, and there will be a lot of youth and beauty (happy ghosts!). )
In short, it doesn't matter if the ghosts are all turned into ghosts (remember)
The big ones are happy to the end!
……”
Chen Lang, Luo Mingzhu, Li Lizhen and Lin Shanshan sang the theme song of "Happy Ghost" to the center of the stage, and the audience immediately broke out into amazing screams after seeing Chen Lang.
"Ah, it's Lang Lang, it's actually Lang Lang!"
"It's really Lang Lang, it's amazing!"
"This song can't be Lang Lang's new song, right? Could it be the theme song of Lang Lang's movie? ”
……
Chen Lang heard the loud shouts of the audience, calm and natural, while Li Lizhen and Lin Shanshan were a little nervous, and their singing voices were a little trembling.
After Li Lizhen was signed into the company by Chen Lang, Chen Lang specially arranged for Li Lizhen to learn singing skills and physical courses.
Chen Lang felt that since he had "Happy Ghost" as his own, then the "Happy Girl Group" was naturally no exception, so Chen Lang also asked the company to start looking for Guo Jieying, Li Zi and others, and when the record company was established in 84, this group was officially launched, with the popularity of the previous life, Chen Lang believes that the girl group he launched will not be bad.
However, although Li Lizhen has undergone a short period of study at this time, her singing skills are still at an amateur level, and Chen Lang does not have too much dissatisfaction with this, first of all, Li Lizhen's learning time is too short, and the other is that Chen Lang does not have too high requirements or expectations for the singing skills of the girl group.
Soon the Hong Kong music scene will enter the era of idol singers rampant all over the world, whether you have profound singing skills is no longer the main reason why a singer can become famous, as long as you are beautiful and not too bad at singing, after the company's packaging, you can still become a smash hit idol star.
"Optimistic and unclosed (happy ghost!) Happy ghost! )
Every day I worry about no one (I don't want to control it!) I don't want to! )
Always pretend to be deceitful and deceitful (happy ghost!) Happy ghost! )
Happy Stack Ghost!
Everyone is optimistic and over-the-top (happy ghost!) Happy ghost! )
Hee-hee-ha Makeover! )
Let's dance together (happy ghost!) Happy ghost! )
Crazy enough to give birth to ghosts"
"Welcome to our super idol Lang Lang, as well as three lovely girls Li Lizhen, Lin Shanshan and Luo Mingzhu." Shen Dianxia said with a smile.
"Hello Sister Fat, hello friends in front of the TV and the audience at the scene." All four of them bowed slightly in greeting.
"Lang Lang, I have long heard that you have written a script by yourself, and it has been made into a movie, I don't know how many people are looking forward to it, everyone says yes?" Shen Dianxia shouted to the audience.
"Yes!"
"Of course!"
"I'm thankful for all the flowers I've been waiting for!"
……
Looking at the fans who cooperated, Li Lizhen and the three were very happy, while Chen Lang was very calm.
"My script is called "Happy Ghost", in fact, it should be an adapted script, from a stage play I watched, I thought it was very interesting, so it was adapted into the current movie, the movie has been completed, and I will meet you soon, I hope everyone can cheer more at that time!" Chen Lang said with a smile.
"Lang Lang, tell us about this movie, I believe everyone is still very interested in your script." Knowing that Chen Lang was here to promote his movie, Shen Dianxia also cooperated.
"The story is mainly about an ancient failed Xiucai hanged himself, because the resentment was too heavy to be reincarnated, became a ghost, retained the soul in the rope of hanging, and was brought back to the campus by a young girl who came out to play in modern times.
Then this ghost uses his superpowers as a ghost to help the three girls, and of course a lot of hilarious things happen during this period, strictly speaking, this is the first school movie in Hong Kong. Chen Lang briefly introduced.
"Oh, Hong Kong's first local campus comedy movie, Lang Lang, your innovation ability is really impressive, novels are constantly creating new genres, and the songs are also their own originals, and now the movie has actually created a new genre of Hong Kong films, I can't express my admiration, Lang Lang, can you stop being so demonic, how can other people live?" Shen Dianxia exaggerated.
"The life of a demon is so willful." Chen Lang said with a smile.
"Haha, it's really not a loss to our little talent." Shen Dianxia saw that Chen Lang had almost introduced it, so she turned the topic to the three girls who were a little nervous, "These three are the girls who have intersected with happy ghosts." ”
The three girls were obviously on TV for the first time, and they were cleaning up the overlord "Happy Tonight", all of them were a little nervous, just nodded and didn't speak.
"The three lovely girls are completely newcomers, how did you get chosen?" Shen Dianxia asked.
"We were all found directly by the director, and then inexplicably joined the crew and filmed this fun movie." After shooting a few small advertisements, plus after the company's training, Li Lizhen replied with a steady mind.
"What was Lang Lang like when he was filming a movie? Is it fun? Obviously, Shen Dianxia saw the nervousness of the three girls, so she had to lead the topic to Chen Lang, who everyone was interested in, which could not only relieve the tension of the three girls, but also attract the attention of the audience.
"Lang Lang is in the crew, wandering around all day long......"
After recording for more than an hour, "Happy Tonight" ended, Chen Lang and the three girls also left TVB, this time Chen Baixiang and Wang Jing were unable to come because they had a film appointment, and in the end they had to be Chen Lang, the most famous male number two.
"I actually appeared on "Happy Tonight", alas, I really never dreamed of it." Lin Shanshan, who finished recording the show, said excitedly.
"yes, I've felt like I've been dreaming for the past few months." Luo Mingzhu also sighed.
Chen Lang shook his head with a smile, "Okay, you may still have to run around for publicity in the past few days, I'll ask the driver to send you back and rest early." ”
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye idol!"
After sending off the three girls, Chen Lang also returned home, but before he could sit down, he heard the phone ringing.
"Hey, I'm Lang Lang!"
"Lang Lang, I'm Ah Jing, I'm telling you a piece of news that I don't know if it's good or bad."
"I don't know if it's good or bad?" Chen Lang wondered.
"Yes, the box office of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" has come out today, only a pitiful 210,000 Hong Kong dollars, which plummeted by 50% again, and basically no one has watched it, so Shaw Brothers decided to paint it directly, so congratulations on winning the bet with Uncle Six, but Fang Yihua decided to release "Happy Ghost" directly tomorrow and take over "Interstellar Blunt Tire".
"What? When we advertised, we hadn't notified everyone of the release time, and it will be released directly tomorrow, and everyone still doesn't know, what if no one comes to watch? Chen Lang was a little angry when he heard this.
"I also talked to Fang Yihua about it, but Fang Yihua ignored it, and just said that "Happy Ghost" would be released according to the gambling contract, otherwise I would wait until after the New Year." Wang Jing's tone was also full of anger.
Chen Lang frowned when he heard this, Fang Yihua should be making things difficult for himself because he did not renew his contract with Huaxing, but the situation is stronger than people, and you can only bear it without a theater.
"In that case, let's release it directly tomorrow, but fortunately, we have been promoting the movie recently." Chen Lang exhaled deeply.
"Fatty, you contact Shao Daheng and ask him to broadcast our "Happy Ghost" promotional video on TVB around the clock, and I also contacted several newspapers such as "Oriental Daily" and "Ming Pao" to let them publish the news of the official release of "Happy Ghost" tomorrow, hoping to attract enough viewers on the first day."
"Okay, I'll contact you now, hang up first."
After Wang Jing hung up the phone, Chen Lang called several newspapers with large circulation such as "Oriental Daily", "Ming Pao" and "Cheng Pao", made an appointment for advertising positions, and then called Chen Jian and asked him to hurry up and notify his fan group.
After the phone call, Chen Lang sighed, this will be his first step into the film industry, although there are many factors of limitations and shortcomings, but Chen Lang firmly believes that this is a brilliant beginning.
