Chapter 247, a reward of one million for bricks

The next day, the newly established Raiden Film Company in Hollywood held a large-scale press conference. Not only invited well-known Hollywood media, but also invited the world's "pop king" Mike. Jackson, famous movie stars Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, and Marlon Brando and others came to the show, which was really radiant and highly anticipated.

When interviewed by an American reporter, the reporter asked Chen Xuanting: "Dear Chen, why do you want to open such a company in Hollywood, especially as a Chinese, do you know how much resistance this will have?" What gives you courage? ”

Faced with the reporter's question, Chen Xuanting did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "When I was young, I once went swimming in the sea with my cousin. At that time, I saw that there was a deep water area, I couldn't go in, and those brothers and sisters all had a 'deep water certificate' on them, like a hero, so I told my cousin that I wanted to go in too, and my cousin said, study hard today. I studied for an afternoon and estimated that I could swim 10 meters. ”

Everyone listened quietly, not understanding why Chen Xuanting suddenly talked about his childhood.

Chen Xuanting still smiled lightly: "The next day, my cousin went to take the 'deep water certificate', and I asked him to take me there, but he didn't let me." I snuck myself in. I also signed up for it, but I didn't think about whether I could get this 'deep water certificate', and I had to swim 200 meters in 2 meters of water. I was the youngest in a group of 10 people. I thought, anyway, if I shout for help, someone will pick me up, so let's experience it once. I jumped into the water with a 'bang', I wanted to get closer to this boat, ready to cry for help. As I swam and swam, I found that I was swimming quite fast. After a while, I reached 100 meters, and I came back and started swimming. When I got my 'deep water certificate' and went home, they were all surprised. ”

Chen Xuanting took one last look at everyone and said with a smile, "That's how I learned to swim." This incident has inspired me a lot throughout my life. If you dare to challenge yourself, you have the possibility of success. Hollywood is a deep water area, but I'm sure it's good to be able to swim here! I'm not afraid of sharks here, because I'm going to swim faster and stronger than sharks! ”

Chen Xuanting's words drew a round of applause from everyone. A person who is not afraid of deep water, why is he afraid of Hollywood, the crocodile pool?! Such a small story contains such a profound philosophy, which can't help but be admired.

Seeing that people applauded Chen Xuanting warmly. Lei Yaoyang, the best friend of Li Jiaxin and Chen Xuanting, was a little puzzled, when did Ah Ting have a cousin? How could I not know!

How did they know that Chen Xuanting still had many secrets that they didn't know.

In the next three years, it will take film as the carrier and develop film technology as the leading factor to create its own film brand and glory.

John Woo, Chow Yun-fat, and Levi's and others will continue to stay in Hollywood to start a career, and Li Jiaxin originally had to follow Chen Xuanting back to Hong Kong because she had something to hide temporarily, so she could only go back later.

So Chen Xuanting asked Lei Yaoyang to buy a ticket for the day and flew back to Hong Kong with the completed movie "Fengyun".

As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Xuanting arranged a series of work, including "Ming Pao" under his own group, as well as TVB and ATV, respectively to promote this movie with huge investment. It is necessary to let every Hong Kong person, every Chinese region who likes comics, know that this big production adapted from comics is about to be released.

Such a large-scale carpet bombing of publicity, with an investment of more than about 8 million, is absolutely unprecedented in the entire Chinese film industry!

At the same time that "Fengyun" is being promoted and is about to be fully released in Hong Kong, the police and bandit drama "Dark War", directed by the great director To Qifeng, starring Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun, and Chen Xuanting's first guest appearance, will be released first. To this end, Chen Xuanting plans to hold a large-scale press conference, inviting media reporters and film companies from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand to attend.

After all, the investment in the drama "Dark War" is not smaller than that of "Fengyun", not to mention that Chen Xuanting has made a package ticket to Andy Lau, and wants to use this drama to praise him as an actor, so if such a large investment is not to hit the street, the local box office market in Hong Kong alone is definitely not enough, and if you want to attract the distributors of foreign mussels, large-scale copying is also inevitable!

Of course, the release and release of Wai Meng will also be answered after the press conference, after all, whether you can win the favor of those discerning distributors depends on whether you can shock them!

25 July 1993.

In the largest conference room on the first floor of the Hong Kong Thunder Film Company building, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a supervisor is yelling and arranging the workers to make the final arrangements, because the company's press conference for the two-hero movie "Dark War" will be held in this conference room today!

Chen Xuanting's request is that this huge conference room will be used as a place for the company to release news in the future, so the supervisor is very anxious to arrange, and strive to be foolproof and hope to achieve the best on-site effect!

In advance, Chen Xuanting had already notified various large and small media and film companies in Hong Kong, hoping that they could come to the press conference of "Dark War" today, and the written words were very sincere, because he was really worried that the "Dark War" in which he participated would hit the street! This is the first time I've made a cameo appearance, and the so-called concern is chaos!

In fact, he doesn't want to think about how well-known he is in Hong Kong and all of Asia! Not to mention anything else, just his establishment of Raiden Pictures in Hollywood, the United States, and the acquisition of Chicago Chinese TV are enough to make everyone realize his courage. Even the media in South Korea reported: "The rise of the Oriental film power started with Hong Kong tycoon Chen Xuanting!" ”

"Hong Kong billionaires, entering Hollywood, sparking an Asian boom!!"

"One person, change an era!"

"Oriental Dragon, proud of the world!"

…… Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" and "Sing Tao Weekly" and other large newspapers and media have also reprinted and published the same arguments, but Chen Xuanting, as the person concerned, has not yet returned to the United States, and of course I don't know how great his impact and influence on the entire Asian film industry is.

But now, when the news came out that Chen Xuanting was going to hold a press conference for the movie "Dark War", all the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan, including the Chaoyue TV station in Yuben and the KBS TV station in South Korea, all immediately dispatched reporters to rush over, and the entire venue was occupied at that time!

Chen Xuanting, who was standing upstairs, kept sighing when he saw this scene: "These reporters are really hard, in order to make a living, they have to run around, and they run over as soon as there is news, which is even faster than the Flash!" ”

But he was still very happy, and couldn't help laughing in his heart: "It's a guest here, and let's see what kind of gift I will give you next!" I just hope you can take it ......! ”

Hype? What is hype? And how do you hype it to achieve the best results? For these, Chen Xuanting is definitely a master.

"Everyone is welcome to come here! Come to the press conference of the company's first movie "Dark War" in the summer vacation! ”

Almost half an hour after the agreed time, the reporters were already scolding their mothers, and Chen Xuanting walked out with a smile on his face!

As if he didn't see the eyes of the reporters as if they were going to eat people, he sat down on the rostrum slowly, straightened his clothes and put on a very serious face, and after looking at the reporters below, he said: "I know that everyone must have been waiting very helplessly, but what I want to say is that you will find out how much it is worth waiting for you to wait for later!" ”

"Smack!" Applause rang out.

But don't misunderstand that the reporters are applauding, in fact, this is Chen Xuanting himself clapping himself!

"What kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd?" A reporter couldn't help but ask a colleague next to him!

The colleague shook his head, he was also very confused, and looked at Chen Xuanting in confusion and said, "Who knows?" Anyway, he's such a person, don't you think what he made that time was a headline? Wait and see! ”

"Pick, he is really arrogant, and he dares to play so many reporters!"

Sitting next to Zou Wenhuai, chairman of Golden Harvest, who was sitting in the front row, a middle-aged man who looked like a boss couldn't help but look at Chen Xuanting jealously and said sourly!

Zou Wenhuai shook his head lightly and smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, why wasn't he himself the same jealousy? After all, he has worked hard for decades to be able to stand in Hong Kong, and he, a young child, has almost collapsed his career in just over two years, alas, life is really unpredictable!

Chen Xuanting, who was on the stage, smiled secretly and glanced at the people below, then stopped and said: "Because some very important things need to be done, today's meeting, Mr. To Qifeng, the director, will not be able to attend!" Hehe, let's take a look at the people behind the movie "Dark War" filmed by our company! ”

With his words, more than a dozen people immediately walked onto the rostrum from the passage on both sides, among which there were Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun.

"Ahh It's Andy! Wow, and Qingyun! A reporter shouted! And the camera is also snapping and shooting! The flickering lights made their faces white! I can't even open my eyes!

"Hehe, alright, alright!" Chen Xuanting waited for the reporters to shoot enough, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't rush to take pictures first, let them sit down first, let me tell you the story of "Dark War"!" ”

"Bang bang ......!"

Almost all the applause immediately rang out, and even Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang and other rival bosses who were angry with Chen Xuanting also applauded.

"I can't help it! This guy is so grinding, if you don't give him some "sweetness", who knows how long he will grind? I still have a lot of work to do! Zou Wenhuai thought so!

Yes, the reason why there was such a loud applause to welcome him, the guy who had just teased everyone, was because everyone was afraid that he would drag it out, after all, it was not too early!

What the? You say leave? Pick, don't look at who the person is? Chen Xuanting! This is a crazy maker of headlines! gone, then you haven't been scolded to death by the editor-in-chief?

"Hehe, thank you for all the applause!" Chen Xuanting saw that he had already hung everyone's taste, so he began to say: "The content of this drama mainly talks about Hua played by Andy Lau who is terminally ill and has only four weeks to live, for Hua, who has little time, time is too fast, Liu Qingyun plays the police student is the best negotiator in the police department, and was transferred to civilian duty for offending his superiors, just the opposite of Hua, his time is too slow, and he has nothing to do, only sometimes he can show his previous demeanor as a guest negotiator." ”

Hua's father died at the hands of the underworld brother Li Zixiong, and Hua decided to use the last time to avenge his father, and to design a brilliant crime to compete with Liu Qingyun, the number one master in the police world. He plotted a robbery and took hostages to the roof of the building, where the police sent Liu Qingyun to negotiate with him, and Hua officially declared war on Liu Qingyun and offered to play a game with him for 72 hours, after which he escaped skillfully and safely. And so a well-planned game unfolded in a frantic chase and fiery gunfight......"

Hua and Sheng fought wits and courage, and every time they could escape Sheng's pursuit at an inadmissible opportunity, Sheng vowed to catch Hua with his own hands and let him accept the punishment of the law. Hua robbed 20 million yuan from Li Zixiong, and exposed Xiong's crimes, so that he was caught by the police and avenged his father, but at this time he himself was also targeted by Sheng, he explained to Sheng that he was terminally ill, and let him escape, and since then there has been no whereabouts of Hua, and the 20 million yuan was also donated to children's charity in the name of Sheng. ”

"It can be said that "Dark War" is the latest work of Hong Kong's famous action film director Johnny To, two powerful movie stars Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun have wonderful rivalry scenes in the film, the thieves and policemen played by the two are brave and strategic, and their strength is comparable, and they compete everywhere, and the excitement must not be missed!"

"Well, having said all this, in fact, my language skills are not good, and I may not be able to express the excitement of "Dark War", but I dare to guarantee that if everyone feels bad when they go to see it, I can take out a million and beg everyone to make a brick!"

Millions of bounties for bricks?!

"As long as you are reasonable and right, you can take a million! Anyone can! There is no cap, how much comes, how much I pay! Chen Xuanting swore solemnly.

"Boom!" Everyone looked at Chen Xuanting in shock, even Andy Lau, the leading actor who is very confident in himself, after all, this is an exaggerated sentence, if this ............! He didn't even dare to think about it!

You must know that in Hong Kong, it really happened in the past that in the midnight test screening, after watching a bad movie, the audience not only "criticized" the unlucky director with their mouths, but also criticized him fiercely with their fists. But after all, it was the audience who was extremely angry, and this is why such an over-the-top thing happened. Now Chen Xuanting swears to promise everyone that a million rewards are for bricks! If you can name the bad things about this play, then I will reward you with a million! Such a move can't help but be a big surprise.

Although others are not really going to slap Chen Xuanting's bricks for one million, the big words he said have not been realized, and it will be certain that his reputation will be hit and affected by the time!

"Huh! Don't look at me with such scary eyes, okay? Chen Xuanting smiled disapprenosingly: "I grew up watching Hong Kong movies, although my vision may be slightly inferior to some master film critics, but I definitely have a place to appreciate it!" ”

He coughed lightly, and then pointed at himself arrogantly: "Anyway, my words have already been said, if it is really not good-looking, then, I will welcome you to put forward all kinds of different criticisms, well, don't be afraid that I will turn my face and not admit it, I will do what I say, this is a man's promise, I will definitely fulfill it!" ”

"Pick, this guy is too arrogant, right? I've never seen him pull like this! Zou Wenhuai's assistant said very angrily!

"Hehe, you're wrong!" Zou Wenhuai shook his head slightly, and said a little lonely: "This may be the gap between me and him!" After all, if I were really confident, I would never say the same thing as him! ”

After a pause, he laughed again and said, "Now, even I am full of expectations for the drama "Dark War"! ”

"It seems that this movie is really interesting, right? Well, I'll ask when it will be released, and when the time comes, I'll take a day off and take my family to see it! A reporter said with anticipation!

"You just believe him, huh? Who can guarantee that he is not trying to confuse us? "This is what a reporter with a Taiwanese taste said!

The reporter who was said was immediately angry, looked at him fiercely and said, "What do you mean? Don't you still believe in the miracle Chan who keeps creating miracles? Do you see when he didn't make headlines when he didn't make the headlines? ”

"Hehe, I, I, I'm ......!" This reporter from Taiwan was speechless, so he had to laugh embarrassedly!

"I'm telling you, since he dares to bet on his reputation, it means that he is very confident and believes that "Dark War" will definitely be popular! Otherwise, does he have to use his reputation to play with eating too much? "The reporter brother is obviously very optimistic about Chen Xuanting's vision, and he can't help but teach this Taiwanese counterpart a hard lesson!

Could it be that this Chen Xuanting can really create a movie miracle again?! Everyone was groping.
