During the screening of the film, although Mo Fei has been communicating with He Chaoqiong, he is not sure about the reaction of the movie after its release, or he has some expectations, because this movie is the largest change to the original version among all the more than 20 movies that Mo Fei has invested.

The original "City of Angels" only borrowed some concepts and episodes of "Wings of Desire", but "Wings of Desire" will not be released until 87 years, and now I don't even know whose stomach the idea is, so I simply added more of these concepts this time, almost combining the two movies into one.

In 98, Cage's version of "City of Angels" did not perform well in the box office war, only getting 78 million in the 24th place in North America, and the global box office was quite strong, with a box office of nearly 200 million and ranking 19th.

And this "City of Angels", which was released thirteen years ahead of schedule and underwent major surgery, does not dare to have too many extravagant hopes, in this era when many plots and bridges have not been used as clichés, and there is no "Wings of Desire" as a "reference", as long as this film does not fall out of the top 20 in North America, it will be relatively successful, after all, this is still a movie starring Chinese, and Zhang Guorong and Lin Qingxia do not have the same box office appeal as Honggu in North America and the world.

But seeing the teardrops that kept sliding down He Chaoqiong's face, she knew that this film should be a success, Miss He Si has a special observation of movies that many critics do not have, but she is an ordinary audience outside the professional circle, and her performance can basically represent most audiences.

Sure enough, as He Chaoqiong showed, when the end music sounded. The applause in the lobby of the theater poured out like a tide, and the audience, who wiped away their tears, gave a high degree of recognition to the film.

You must know that the premiere can generally be called a professional audience, and there will be many professional media and news reporters among the moviegoers. Even those audiences who bought the premiere tickets are also the most professional audiences, and if they can be highly recognized by the premiere, this movie can basically be regarded as a success.

The success of the premiere was followed by a frenzied profit at the box office. From the official release the next day, there was a long queue of fans outside the theater where "City of Angels" was screened, and the queue outside the door of the premiere Lisheng Cinema even bypassed Bik Street and lined up at Prince Edward Station on the Tsuen Wan Line.

Related film reviews have also been released as quickly as possible. Before "Bi-weekly" was published, there was already a film critic in "Tomorrow Weekly" -- "Moved, only moved." 'If you can't feel the breeze on your face, what if you have angel wings?' How much energy does love have. Can people make such trade-offs? Wind, as an angel, gave up his eternal painless life in order to be together with Ah Su for only one day, as a true fellow of the same kind; Asu, as a mortal, in order to have sincere love, she sacrificed her own life; But. None of them regretted it, even if true love only came for a moment. It's all worth in this life. This reminds me of Mr. Mo Fei's explanation of the ending of the film: it is enough to die at night, and only the past can become eternal. ”

Zhang Guorong's crazy fan Li Bihua also published her supreme advocacy of Zhang Guorong in the column: Any part of our body can be used to lie, as long as you pretend to be like enough, you can deceive anyone, but the eyes can't do it. Zhang Guorong's interpretation of the wind is undoubtedly extremely successful, when he looks at Ah Su with love, those clear eyes do not have a trace of impurities, bright and intoxicating, and that kind of love cannot be concealed or imitated. At that moment, Feng's love for Ah Su was unreserved. And we, as spectators, as spectators, can only envy and envy; We have never been able to have the kind of luck to get such an affectionate man, and such a love that makes people ponder and fall into it......

In addition to most of the positive praise, there will also be some unpleasant voices, and "Sing Tao Daily" concocted a film review that seemed very discordant, accusing Mo Fei of abandoning the inherent Chinese religious traditions in the film and replacing the soul-bound messengers in Chinese mythology with Western angels, which is a kind of subversion and betrayal of traditional culture, and in the long run, China's traditional culture will be completely forgotten by people. On the contrary, in the film, he has made endless beautification of the soul-detaining messengers in traditional culture, and brought the ugliest messengers of the underworld and the bull-headed horse faces that people are most unwilling to accept for thousands of years into human life after changing their faces, and even becoming partners with humans, which is simply ridiculous......

There is more than one review like "Sing Tao Daily", but for a movie about love, it is basically impossible to subvert the tradition of etiquette and religion, and it is basically impossible to affect the performance of the movie.

"Produced by Phoenix Culture" is almost a sign of a good movie, and Zhang Guorong's box office appeal is there, as well as Lin Qingxia, a beautiful woman who is praised by everyone, the box office in Hong Kong easily exceeded 6 million in three days, and the North American region won more than 9 million, and it is not difficult for both to enter the top ten of the annual box office.

……

After all eight movies were released, Phoenix Culture's summer action was basically coming to an end, leaving only the two talent shows "Got Talent" and "Asian Idol" as the final highlights.

On the weekend of the penultimate week of August, the final of "Got Talent" aired, and an amateur magician from Singapore won the title as the standout performer from the auditions. The dance troupe composed of Fu Li and his colleagues also won the runner-up under the guidance of Li Lingyu. The third place went to a Chinese group in Malaysia, and the double acrobatics they performed did have the capital to enter the top three, if it weren't for the support, this double acrobatic combination would have no problem winning the runner-up.

The contestants of "Miss Asia" can only be from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and after winning the award, they basically signed with Phoenix Culture and ATV; Although the range of contestants in "Asian Idol" is also very wide, because it is only a singing competition, the range of contestants can choose is not so wide, and they can basically only sign with a record company.

But the winners of "Got Talent" are different. There are many strange items performed, and only the top three have three kinds of magic, acrobatics and dance, and the way out is also different. But one thing that cannot be denied is that they are all famous.

is the same as the situation of "Miss Asia", Xu Xiaoming started to persuade early on, and many outstanding contestants who excelled in the show but failed to get promoted were fooled by him, and even the third runner-up who played acrobatics chose to sign with ATV.

Could it be that he also pretended not to see it, ATV has signed so many people now, and it will only die worse in the future. Just let Xu Xiaoming work hard to dig a pit for the Lin family's father and son, this kind of thing will never be stopped.

In the end, the only players in the "Got Talent" who officially signed a contract with Phoenix Culture were the champion Chen Zili and Fu Li of the runner-up team, while several other players in the runner-up team only signed temporary contracts. Some gave up their temporary contracts and changed to ATV.

In the semi-finals of "Asian Idol" the next day, Japanese singer Kenichi Sanada and Taiwanese player Jiang Shuna were tragically eliminated, and the three finalists were Li Keqin, Du Dewei and Zhou Huimin.

Among the top three finalists, Zhou Huimin's performance was the most eye-catching. The first round was unanimously approved by all judges, including the media judges. After getting a perfect score, they directly advanced to the finals, leaving four players to compete for the other two spots.

Zhou Huimin's direct promotion caused a lot of pressure on the other four players, and they all made mistakes in the next performance, Sanada Kenichi was even more nervous to go out of tune in half a sentence and directly entered the most dangerous situation, while Du Dewei won the second top three places with an excellent performance.

Then in the third game, Jiang Shuna continued to make mistakes, she was so optimistic about her, and Jiang Shuna also wanted to be a little more aggressive. But the previous judges' comments hit her very hard, and in the third round, she directly took out the song "Reluctant to Open Your Eyes" that Mo Fei gave her. Hopefully, they can beat the other two and get their final ticket. But maybe it was because she was too anxious, maybe the judges were deliberately suppressing her and Mo Fei to do it right, and in the end she was brushed off because of the "bad habit she developed when singing in a bar", and watched Li Keqin, who had the most stable performance, enter the top three.

On the third day after the end of the competition, the four eliminated players from the top seven players gathered in the conference room of Phoenix Culture, as well as the grass Mongzi who was eliminated earlier, and today was another key moment in deciding their fate.

After waiting for a short time, Mo Fei entered the conference room accompanied by Wu Long, along with Feng Meiji, the manager of the company's artist department. At the end, there was a clerk with a document in his arms, who was Zhou Huimin's friend Alain, who had been studying under Feng Meiji for a long time now.

When she saw Mo Fei coming in, Jiang Shuna's tears began to fall uncontrollably, hiding her petite body behind others, afraid that Mo Fei would see her.

Afraid of anything, I just went to find Jiang Shuna as soon as I entered the door, after losing the show that day, this girl cried on the spot, it was called a miserable, as the initiator of all this, it was necessary to comfort this girl.

looked at Jiang Shuna, who was hiding at the end, and said with a smile: "Jiang Shuna, what are you hiding, come to the front and let me see, are your eyes swollen into goldfish and embarrassed to see people?" ”

Jiang Shuna couldn't hide anymore, so she walked to the front, stopped at a distance of about a meter in front of Mo Fei, and sobbed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mo, you have such high expectations for me, but I didn't even make it to the finals, I'm so stupid...... I didn't even sing the song you wrote for me, woo woo......"

Stretched out his hand and pulled two handfuls on Jiang Shuna's hair, Mo Fei said with a smile: "What's that, isn't it just that you haven't sung a song well, and it's not that you can't sing well for a lifetime, if you still have this mentality, what will you do in the future, I don't want to sign a singer who only cries his nose." ”

"Signing?" Jiang Shuna was suddenly stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe her ears, raised her head to look at Mo Fei, choked up and asked, "I didn't make it to the finals, Mr. Mo, you won't be making me happy, in fact, I can think of it." ”

Why is this girl's mind so axial, Mo Fei shook his head and said: "I said that I am optimistic about you, not because I am optimistic about whether you can win the championship, but because I am optimistic about your singing skills and future development in the music industry, otherwise do you think I have nothing to do, and I will take time to come out to tease you?" ”

After speaking, he said to several others: "All the contestants who enter the top seven of this year's "Asian Idol" will get a contract for famous music. And the grass monga. The three of you are dancing very well, and you can get a contract, and then the company will train you professionally. Push you out as a group in the future. You take a look at the contract first, if it's okay, you can sign it now, and after signing it, you will be a singer of Famous Craftsman Music. ”

"Miss Asia" and "Got Talent" are both temporary programs, but they won't do it all the time, and when ATV changes hands, at least Miss Asia won't do it anymore, and the talent show will depend on the situation.

So there are no hard and fast rules for these two shows. In the end, the contestants are free to choose whether to sign or not, even if many players are signed by ATV, and even two players from "Got Talent" finally signed a contract with TVB. It's all an attitude of indifference.

But "Asian Idol" is different, while providing ratings for ATV, it is also a channel dedicated to discovering singers for famous music, so of course it will not make wedding dresses for others.

For the contestants of "Asian Idol". The rules were set back in the day. Within three years after the end of the competition, contestants are not allowed to sign contracts with other record companies without the consent of "Asia Idol Production Co., Ltd.", otherwise they will be held legally liable.

This is not to say that you can't sign a contract with another company at all, some singers who have already made up their minds and are selected as a foil can also go to other companies, but they must be agreed by the company and pay the corresponding liquidated damages.

In fact, this article is more to restrict other companies from playing tricks, just like Gao Shengmei in the previous ghost sister's group. I've signed with another company, and then I'm coming back to the competition. The purpose is to increase exposure and popularity with the help of this show. After the competition, he will return to his original company and appear as a newly signed singer.

Gao Shengmei is a singer who knows Mo Fei, and he can stop it in time to prevent the other company's plan from succeeding. However, the Asian region is so large, and it is possible to expand to a larger scale in the future, so it is impossible to know so much, so it is necessary to curb this point at an early stage.

Now this situation has arisen, Sanada Kenichi and another Taiwanese singer, Ye Feng, who do not plan to stay in Hong Kong to develop, but to return to Japan and Taiwan to sign with other record companies.

In this case, they need to sign an artist contract with Mingjiang Music first, and then transfer the contract to another company, and the other company needs to pay Mingjiang Music a liquidated damages, which is the income brought by star-making.

Anyway, there is not much shortage of people in famous craftsman music at this stage, and Sanada Kenichi and Ye Feng are both taken over by the next family, so they don't have any special expectations for these two people, and they don't have any information about the two of them in their memory, so just make a sum of money and release them.

Grass Mongzi gets a contract as eliminated, and the company will vigorously cultivate them, there is no better ending than this, of course the three of them will choose to sign.

Jiang Shuna was rumored by the media to be the champion candidate at the earliest, and it is impossible for other companies to make up their minds with her, and the artists selected by others have to be poached, which is a risk of turning the face. And because of Mo Fei's importance, she is unlikely to choose other companies, and it is inevitable that she will stay in Mingjiang Music.

In the end, there was only one Xu Zhi'an, he didn't have a company to ask for, and even Huaxing Records found him. But judging from the current situation of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Mo Fei's star-making ability is beyond doubt, and the competition to stay in Mingjiang Music is smaller than that of other companies, Xu Zhian didn't want to bear the reputation of a betrayal, and finally chose to stay in Mingjiang.

In order to ensure that Zhou Huimin won the championship steadily, and would not make mistakes in the finals and bring unnecessary trouble to the show, he had to give Zhou Huimin a stable state assault practice in the two days before the finals.

Since "Asian Idol" entered the promotion round, some media have criticized this competition system, saying that the extremely cruel promotion method of "Asian Idol" is completely for the audience to enjoy, but it is under considerable pressure for the players, and this practice of blindly pleasing the audience is unfair and inhumane to the contestants.

Even in Mo Fei's previous life, this kind of competition was advanced in continuous elimination, but Mo Fei was set to advance in continuous promotion, watching the number of places for promotion become smaller and fewer, and the pressure on the players is increasing.

This kind of competition system is indeed very devilish, but it is not completely without benefits, the greater the pressure, the more the harvest will be, at least the ability to resist pressure has increased a lot. If a singer can withstand such pressure and keep winning the competition, this can become a real big stage singer.

In fact, among all the singers who entered the "Asian Idol" qualifier, the most pressure was not the contestants who rushed to advance, but the champion Zhou Huimin. This internal champion is not so easy to do, not only must always be careful not to make mistakes in the game, but also deliberately make some flaws, Zhou Huimin has even thought about retiring more than once, but every time I think of the hard work I have paid, as well as my own music dreams, and I have to press this impulse back.

It's really unfair to other players, but as Mo Fei said, there are so many fair things in this world. The director will add or subtract scenes to a certain actor because of his own preferences, and the post-editing will also be left or not because of his preferences; Even when they are studying in school, teachers will treat students differently because of their likes and dislikes; Even the waiters in the hotel will treat customers differently, or they will be more polite and courteous when they see a beautiful girl......

Zhou Huimin is with this kind of mentality that both believes and doubts, can't bear but doesn't know how to refuse, and has come all the way to the present under Mo Fei's arrangement, and entered the finals of "Asian Idol", this championship is really not easy.

(I went to help early this morning, I came back very late after dinner, I want to go from one end of the city to the other, marriage is the busiest in these two days, today I will go to help early, and I will go home early tomorrow, maybe it will be five thousand, and I will see if I can try my best to break out for two days next week, everyone understands, thank you!)
