In fact, the fact that "The True Color of Heroes" did not hold a midnight test screening at the beginning surprised the Hong Kong media and many filmmakers. Because I don't know that from a certain time period, the midnight preview has become a kind of rule before the premiere of Hong Kong movies. And Lu Yan obviously chose to ignore this rule and go directly to the official release.

At the time, the Hong Kong media obviously did not approve of such a move. Even if it is a filmmaker, many people have jumped out to accuse Lu Yan of being irresponsible to the audience and the movie itself!

There is a saying that 'there are many people who are popular', and Lu Yan faced that kind of situation at the beginning.

And now it seems that the situation is obviously not much better! Since Lu Yan's departure from Xinyicheng was exposed, many seniors have opinions about Lu Yan.

Arrogant, arrogant? This seems to have become many people's positioning of Lu Yan, if it weren't for the many actors who have worked with Lu Yan and many friends who revealed that although Lu Yan occasionally became a powder keg during the filming, he is usually a very good person, and it is estimated that many people in the industry will be a little resistant to a director like Lu Yan.

After all, it is popular to inevitably make people feel that such a director will be arrogant! What's more, Lu Yan's attitude in the face of the media, coupled with the deliberate slander of those entertainment reporters, Lu Yan's actual image is not very good.

And when Lu Yan left the 'film studio' because of that incident, it was inevitable that people would think that he was ungrateful. In fact, Lu Yan later did realize that he was indeed young and vigorous at the beginning, and he didn't think about it well.

Fortunately, Tsui Hark, Huang Baiming and others are still very tolerant of Lu Yan, a young boy. After all, everyone was once young, and they could still understand Lu Yan's original actions.

The most important point is that this offspring really made him break out of his own way!

This is enough to impress many young people in Hong Kong who are still struggling.

Not all ambitious and confident young people can be as successful as Lu Yan. Most of them are still working assistants, still sitting on cold benches!

And Lu Yan has undoubtedly become their 'model' figure!

Whether it's a role model or not, he doesn't know. But Huang Zhan, Li Xiaotian, and Leslie Cheung recognized that Lu Yan had a high musical talent.

The song "Love of the Year" has already impressed everyone. And the appearance of "A Chinese Ghost Story" completely confirmed their idea!

"Shizai, Yan Zai must be a genius in this regard! When you showed me this song, I knew it would be absolutely fine! In the recording room of Huaxing Records, Li Xiaotian was particularly excited: "Although you take over the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the box office may not be ideal. But with this song, you're worth it! ”

In fact, the habit of calling Leslie Cheung 'brother' has begun to spread through the promotional video of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Even many Leslie Cheung fans like this affectionate title very much. However, Li Xiaotian is Leslie Cheung's father-in-law after all, so he is still used to calling Leslie Cheung 'Ten Boys'.

Hearing Li Xiaotian's evaluation, Leslie Cheung smiled very calmly: "Qi Ye, we really underestimated Yan Zai before." You're looking at the reports out there! I acted in "A Chinese Ghost Story" myself, and I think this movie is absolutely fine. Didn't everyone be optimistic about "The True Color of Heroes" at the beginning, but the result shocked us all! As for Yan Zai's talent in music, I think he probably just wants to be a director! Later, I'll find a way to dig up a few songs from him! It's a waste of talent like that......"

For "A Chinese Ghost Story", Leslie Cheung has the same confidence as Lu Yan. Why is there such faith? Leslie Cheung has slowly come to his senses now. At the beginning, he almost turned down such a movie, but now he is full of confidence before it is released. There is undoubtedly only one reason, because the director is Lu Yan!

"Hehe, I used to see that you were so confident, but after the music started. It seems that Yan Zai has had a great influence on you, and I also hope that your movie will be a blockbuster by then! Li Xiaotian watched Leslie Cheung experience the changes after the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and became more satisfied. Although this deed boy used to have the same momentum as Lu Yan, he did not have the confidence of Lu Yan. And now it seems that Lu Yan's influence on him is still very great.

Thinking of Lu Yan, Li Xiaotian was stunned and said, "By the way, Yan Zai's body is better, right?" ”

"Yes! is still wearing a plaster cast on his left hand, and some time ago he and Uncle Zhan have been studying the soundtrack of the movie. It is estimated that at the premiere, he will be the first director to attend in a plaster! Haha......" imagined that scene in his mind, Leslie Cheung couldn't help laughing.

In fact, the current Li Xiaotian hopes more and more that Leslie Cheung can get closer to Lu Yan. Whether it is in the influence of the surname or in the help of the career, Lu Yan can undoubtedly play a vital role.

And what he cares about the most is Lu Yan's net worth background. Regarding the reason for the 14k trouble, Leslie Cheung naturally told this Qi Ye.

But Li Xiaotian knew that all the situations reported by the media reporters were real-time, so he was stunned. According to this calculation, Lu Yan called his grandfather. His grandfather is far away in Taiwan, and he can have such a great deterrent, what kind of character is that?

It's not just the community that is dispatched, but even the chief inspector of O's has to sell face...... It is undoubtedly very fortunate for Leslie Cheung to make such a friend. Now he has great admiration for Leslie Cheung's original choice

"Is Pan Disheng playing tricks on me?"

In the conference room of Dongcheng Image, Lu Yan said loudly with some annoyance: "Even a small-budget production like "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" has been given to dozens of theaters to be released at the same time, but only a dozen of them are given to us? ”

Originally, Liu Weiqiang told Lu Yan that he didn't feel anything when Debao Film Company was only willing to give more than a dozen theaters, after all, the competition for films in this year's Spring Festival was particularly fierce.

However, when he learned that Pan Disheng had arranged for dozens of theaters to release small-budget films like "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" at the same time, he was furious. This is clear, it is preparing to curb the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story". To put it mildly, this is the strangulation of a movie!

"Yan Zai, after all, Debao Cinema Line was bought from Shaw Brothers. What's more, Wang Jing's first few movies were not bad at the box office! This face, he must give to the sixth uncle. Liu Weiqiang saw a lot more than Lu Yan in this regard, after all, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and no matter how angry he was, it was useless.

But there is one thing that goes without saying. These giant film companies in Hong Kong have made it clear that they want to besiege Dongcheng Films.

In addition to "Police Story", "Mr. Zombie", and "Ghost Horse Flying Man", there are also more than a dozen movies such as "Dragon's Heart", "Smart Three Treasures" and "Extralegal Affairs".

This year's Spring Festival stalls are destined to be full of gunsmoke and war!

After restraining his emotions for a while, Lu Yan came back to his senses and said, "Brother Xiaodong, how is the post-production of special effects?" ”

"It's OK! Wait a minute, if you are not satisfied, change it! When it's done, it's ready for the official release! Cheng Xiaodong's heart was also on fire, and he vented all his fire on the production of special effects. This time, he clearly did it with extra care. Not for anything else, just to fight for "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Although he is not very optimistic about the box office effect of costume ghost films, the reports of those media reporters obviously made the entire staff of Dongcheng Imaging feel very unhappy.

If the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is really as Waterloo as they expected, then it will be a very big blow to Dongcheng Images.

"Okay, since the outside world is unanimously not optimistic about "A Chinese Ghost Story", then let's let them see what a counterattack is!" Of course, Lu Yan can understand why there is so much criticism from the outside world, but if there is too much criticism, it will make people so anxious. Coupled with the front and back attacks of several major film companies, the release time of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is actually inappropriate.

It is precisely because of this kind of nest fire that Lu Yan and others vowed to make "A Chinese Ghost Story" rise!

With Hu Dawei in charge of editing, Cheng Xiaodong in charge of special effects post-production, and Huang Zhan and Dai Lemin in charge of music matching, this combination is already very eye-catching.

When Lu Yan and Liu Weiqiang watched Cheng Xiaodong's special effects in the later stage, they immediately decided to immediately devote themselves to the preparations for the official release.

The current Dongcheng Image is not as obscure as it was when it was first founded, and many entertainment reporters are squatting and waiting. As soon as the news of the company's internal preparations for the official release of "A Chinese Ghost Story" came out, they immediately published it in the newspaper as quickly as possible.

The next ridiculous thing immediately made the citizens of Hong Kong dumbfounded.

Not long after the newspaper published the news that "A Chinese Ghost Story" would be released three days later, film companies such as Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng actually announced that the new film would be officially released in three days. And all of their films have had midnight preview screenings, and the response has been very good.

As soon as the news came out, many viewers said they wanted to buy tickets to watch.

Jackie Chan and they are not targeting Lu Yan, this kind of thing itself is a high-level decision. In addition, as soon as such an effect came out, the sensation caused by the surname was also relatively large. Therefore, several major film companies have chosen to release "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the same day.

Some people have become the leading tigers, and some other small companies of Reading Power Production have also appeared.

And the most helpless among them are popular actors like Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong. Because they have several movies, they were actually released at the same time. This means that only one of the premieres can be selected to participate...... There is less leading actor and less main creator...... Ran to another movie...... This is not the first time that Hong Kong has had such a messy premiere. But so many movies have appeared like this, which makes everyone staggered.

Between everyone's breath and rubbing their fists. The battle for the Spring Festival stalls has finally kicked off!
