Chapter 192: The scuffle resumes
June 24, 1987.
Cooperated by Meng Chao and Xu Ke, Meng Chao starred in Ning Caichen, and Wang Guxian starred in Nie Xiaoqian's Liaozhai monster film "A Chinese Ghost Story" officially held its premiere.
Before this movie, there was a monster movie called "Liao Zhai's Infant Ning" that was released for ten days, but although it was called a monster movie, the plot was chaotic and ugly to death, and it was forcibly drawn less than ten days after it was released, which hurt many viewers who were tricked into the cinema!
However, this did not affect their expectations for "A Chinese Ghost Story", on the contrary, many viewers who have been cheated have made remarks on the Internet, and when they watch movies in the future, they will have to watch the movies produced by Genesis Film Company, and they have to recognize Meng Chao's golden paint signboard, only he will not make some bad movies to trick people!
For this reason, the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was very lively on the night, and the ticket price of a premiere had been fried to more than 300 yuan a few days ago, and many ordinary viewers were willing to pay more than 30 times the price to buy a ticket for the premiere from the scalpers, just to be the first to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story", so that they could show off and recommend it to their relatives and friends!
"I wish Mr. Meng's "A Chinese Ghost Story" a box office hit!" Cen Jianxun, one of the high-level executives on Debao's side, was also present to support.
"Lao Xu, I think you and Mr. Meng's "A Chinese Ghost Story" has to lead a new movie trend." On the other side, Mr. Cao Dahua, a famous actor in the past, also chatted with Xu Ke enthusiastically.
"Mr. Meng, congratulations on the release of another new movie, thank you for the film review you wrote for our "Law Enforcement Pioneer" earlier." In the end, Yuan Biao and Yuan Kui, two senior brothers, also came to congratulate together, because the film reviews written by Meng Chao before brought a lot of attention to their films, so they sincerely came to support Meng Chao this time.
……
"Zhang Guorong!"
After several performances at the premiere, the film was soon officially screened, and the audience was generally very interested in a character who received a bento box in less than two minutes.
Because this cameo actor is Zhang Guorong, Ning Caichen in the original version.
"Zhang Guorong is so handsome!"
"Yes, I didn't expect his scholar to look so handsome!"
"Meng Chao's face is really big enough. Be the protagonist himself, and find Zhang Guorong to make a cameo. ”
"They already appreciate each other in the Youth Innovation Competition, and they seem to be very good friends with each other......
……
Soon the topic of Zhang Guorong ended, because after the theme song "A Chinese Ghost Story" sung by Zhang Guorong came out. The actor Meng Chao, who is dressed as a scholar but looks particularly down, is here.
Down and out...... Distress...... Silly ......
Meng Chao's acting skills are very first-class, and he immediately grasped the essence of the whole character, so that the audience was attracted at a glance.
"Meng Chao's costume is also good."
"Not inferior to Zhang Guorong, I didn't notice him so temperamental before!"
"It's so handsome, okay. The scholar's appearance is not lost to Zhang Guorong at all. ”
……
Of course, the most concerned is Nie Xiaoqian played by the heroine Xiaoxian.
"This Xiaoqian is a ghost, right?"
"Such a beautiful ghost, I admit that I died in her hands."
"It's so beautiful and beautiful, it's like a peony flower dying, and being a ghost is also windy~flowing!"
"I used to think that Wang Guxian was tall and big, and even looked a bit like a man when acting in urban dramas, but I didn't expect her to be so beautiful in ancient costumes, it was simply too intoxicating......"
……
When Xiaoxian, dressed in white, appeared, the atmosphere of the audience became extraordinarily warm, and bursts of praise and praise were endless!
Afterwards, the film was praised by many parties, especially the ancient costumes of Meng Chao and Wang Guxian. It has also appeared on the cover of many entertainment weeklies.
From the technical level of the movie, Xu Ke and Meng Chao abandoned the principle of using special effects in the past "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", and focused more energy and focus on the plot, making the characters and plot very full and perfect.
For example, the tongue of the tree demon grandmother in it is actually used as a large sponge dyed with color, and then manually pulled by a bunch of martial artists, resulting in a huge and flexible feeling of the tongue, and it does not completely use special effects, but it is still very real and completely attracts the audience.
And the costume design of the characters in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also very exquisite. For example, Xiaoxian's white dress and boundless red dress when she was still married, all set off the beauty of her whole person to the extreme.
In addition, the sound effect is shocking, and the photographer is extremely professional, which makes the picture sense very gripping. Then there is the design of Cheng Xiaodong's kind of monster fight, which also makes the audience who are used to watching the hard bridge and hard horse form of fighting catch the freshness.
Especially when Yan Chixia played by Guan Shan shouted that Heaven and Earth are infinite and Qiankun borrowed the law, countless viewers watched him play with flying swords with great excitement, although the flying swords are not as dazzling and exaggerated as in "The Legend of Shushan Swordsmen", but it can attract the audience even more.
The reason is that many viewers are not so acceptable to the world of high martial arts. This takes time to go by little slowly, just like a fantasy novel, if Meng Chao comes up with the kind of work that explodes the planet with one punch in this world, it is estimated that there will not be a few viewers who like it.
Because most of them are accustomed to watching kung fu movies and martial arts films, the most they can accept is the kind of high-martial arts world of "Dragon Babu", and although "A Chinese Ghost Story" also plays flying swords, it is not as exaggerated as in Shushan, you can fly with a sword, and the speed is so fast that your eyes can't see it, so most of the audience can accept it and like it.
……
As a result, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" reached 18 million on the first day, and the box office also accumulated 60 million a week later!
But when it comes to July, the fate of this film is exactly the same as that of a parallel world, that is, facing two powerful films on both sides!
That is the "Oriental Condor" of Hong Jinbao's team on Golden Harvest's side, this is a war action movie, in addition to the wonderful fights to the flesh, there are also many gunfight clips, and even Brother Hong's wife Gao Lihong also plays a murderous female warrior in the movie!
And the most noteworthy thing is the scene of Hong Jinbao killing people with a leaf, which made the audience marvel after watching it!
Moreover, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was also attacked by one of the highest-grossing literary films in Chinese history, "Autumn Fairy Tale", "A Chinese Ghost Story" is watched by the male protagonist Meng Chao and the heroine Wang Guxian, but "Autumn Fairy Tale" is not far behind, the protagonists are the red and purple Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong.
