The covers of most entertainment newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong are large reports about Lu Yan. With yesterday's premiere ceremony, Lu Yan's simple eyes and photos set off the arrogance of the content of the article even more!

"Reporter Long, did you hear that? That's the audience's answer! The box office results of the premiere will certainly affect the ranking at that time, but as long as the word of mouth is good, I believe that many audiences will line up to buy tickets to watch it. Have you forgotten that I started from nothing, step by step? Ha ha! ”

"I'm used to believing in myself, don't you often say I'm rebellious and arrogant in your reports? It's a fact that not every movie can surpass "True Colors". But when did I say that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is going to surpass it? It was you who compared it to "The True Color of Heroes" by yourself at the beginning. This is obviously a different style and a different theme of the movie. How do you compare? Is it simply a comparison with the box office? ”

In every report, these two sentences said by Lu Yan will inevitably be inserted. And everyone's unanimous description of Lu Yan is unruly!

Lu Yan in the report is a director who thinks too highly of himself with a "True Color of Heroes". For the Waterloo of the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story", I didn't care at all.

Even, dare to say that the box office in the later period will definitely turn the tide!

A series of reports, coupled with that innocent and flawless photo, Lu Yan suddenly made people love and hate!

And some media highly praised Lu Yan's self-confidence. I think that the reason why a director has such self-confidence is entirely because his work has passed the heart barrier! And the examples they give are very convincing.

A newcomer, because the new art city is unwilling to invest. I was stunned to take the script and come out to start my own business. I just hope to be able to make a movie of my own. And this movie is "The True Color of Heroes"!

wrote and directed "The True Colors of Heroes", and the box office has reached about 48 million so far. became popular at the box office poison Chow Yun-fat! Became popular red star Dillon! Let Leslie Cheung successfully enter the eyes of the audience! Although Applejack's image is not likable, it is deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

Leslie Cheung revealed at yesterday's premiere that his role was unflattering because of the previous "True Colors of Heroes" directed by Lu Yan. So this time, Lu Yan specially arranged a good role for him: a lovely scholar Ning Caichen, who is very loyal, so that the audience can sympathize and pity him. And Ning Caichen in the film. Unswerving in love, Leslie Cheung smiled and said that it matched his image of singing love songs.

In my opinion, only people like Director Lu who value love and righteousness can shoot "The True Color of Heroes".

Leslie Cheung was asked about the pleasing character he played in "A Chinese Ghost Story", who was loyal, upright and simple. With such dedication, is it back to yourself?

He said that he liked this character very much when he read the script, and he felt that the scholar in the play was very simple, and he had a sense of justice for the first time in the world, and he had no distractions and thought that the whole world was beautiful. It's as pure as everyone who has just entered society, "It's okay to say that it's a performance, because I've also gone through this stage." ”

What surprised everyone at the beginning was that Director Lu chose Wang Zuxian, a newcomer from Taiwan, as the heroine. While everyone was questioning, they concentrated on filming on Lantau Island. In the end, I have to say that Director Lu does have a pair of 'discerning eyes'. Just like when he chose Chow Yun-fat and Dillon without hesitation, he chose Dillon ...... "A Chinese Ghost Story", the most memorable thing is probably this beautiful Nie Xiaoqian - Wang Zuxian!

Moreover, Director Lu's multi-talent is beyond doubt. Screenwriting ability, do you need to be skeptical? Is it necessary to doubt the ability to direct? Lyrics and music, there are "Love of the Year" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", isn't it convincing enough?

At a time when countless newspapers and magazines criticized Lu Yan for being unruly and arrogant, similar reports like the above also appeared occasionally. Such reports may be for 'sensationalism' and 'eye-catching', but it doesn't seem to be a portrayal of the facts!

If in the initial propaganda war, movies such as "Police Story" were victorious. So with the premiere ceremony as the battle, only "A Chinese Ghost Story" became the big winner.

Basically all the media and newspapers have described the premiere ceremony of "A Chinese Ghost Story" at great length, although they accuse Lu Yan of being arrogant and unruly, but they have to admit that "A Chinese Ghost Story" really makes them refreshed!

In fact, the audience is indeed as Lu Yan expected, because there are too many good movies in this year's Spring Festival schedule. Therefore, their choice of surnames is also broadened. Most of the audience decided to watch "Police Story" first. Because of the previous promotional videos and reports, it was really shocking.

Since Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan has become a representative figure in Hong Kong. He performed so hard, how could the audience ignore it.

And "A Chinese Ghost Story" is naturally among the ranks chosen by the audience, and there are TVB reporters randomly checked. Many viewers have said that they will watch "A Chinese Ghost Story". The reason why I didn't go to the premiere was because I chose other movies first!

This is enough to see that the publicity of a movie before the broadcast is very necessary!

Now, with the reports of various media and newspapers on the premiere ceremony of "A Chinese Ghost Story", as well as the debate on whether Lu Yan is confident or arrogant, the curiosity of the audience has been successfully mobilized!

Could it be that this director wants to create the miracle of "The True Color of Heroes" again?

With their different attitudes, the audience bought tickets and entered the cinema one after another.

They laughed because of what happened to Leslie Cheung, they would be embarrassed by the spoofs in the film, and they would sigh and cry because of the ghosts of Ning Caichen and Wang Zuxian!

Unconsciously, the word-of-mouth of "A Chinese Ghost Story" began to spread in the audience's mouth.

"Extra! Extra! Pan Disheng, who was in the office, then said with a smile on the phone. Originally, the reason why he only arranged more than a dozen theaters for the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was indeed due to many factors.

First of all, there are too many movies during this year's Spring Festival. If it weren't for "The True Color of Heroes" in front, Pan Dickson estimated that only ten movie theaters would be given, and the time period would not be prime time! What's more, it is an obvious fact that everyone is besieging Lu Yan's Dongcheng image, and he Pan Disheng is not surprised.

The desire for the image of Dongcheng is not so much the desire for Lu Yan. Whether it is Golden Harvest, New Art City or Debao, they all hope to bring Lu Yan under their command!

In the beginning, Pan Disheng did see the glimmer of hope. When he knew the box office of the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story", there was a little joy in his regret.

But then came the current situation.

At the beginning, it was the owners of various movie theaters who called the person in charge of the theater chain and informed that "A Chinese Ghost Story" needed to be screened! Gaying!

And now, it is already the person in charge of the theater who called Pan Disheng to tell him: I need to add a show, I need to add a screening!

I have to say that Lu Yan has already made sufficient preparations for such a situation. The copy of "A Chinese Ghost Story", he prepared a lot at the beginning. Although he later learned that Pan Disheng had only arranged for a dozen theaters to be released, he was not discouraged at all.

On the contrary, after the fiasco of the premiere, they made a bet with Cheng Xiaodong.

Now it seems that Lu Yan is obviously the only winner in this game!

"Dark Horse Rush! 》

"The Spring Festival box office battle was unexpectedly born. 》

"Jackie Chan, Lu Yan, Sammo Hung! A battle between three friends! 》

With countless audiences pouring into cinemas, the box office battle began to come into view.

As a box office battle for the Spring Festival, Jackie Chan's self-directed and self-starred "Police Story" is undoubtedly the leader! However, his first position is not unbreakable, followed by "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Mr. Zombie" at the box office.

It is interesting to note that the directors of these three films are all good friends. Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung are brothers, and the two are also good friends with Lu Yan!

If "Police Story" is now the first box office because everyone expected, then "A Chinese Ghost Story", which was not optimistic at the beginning, is definitely a sudden rise. From the release of more than a dozen movie theaters, all the cinemas under the Debao Cinema Line have now arranged for broadcasting. Rao is so, there are long queues at the major ticket windows!

and another "Mr. Zombie" directed by Sammo Hung is completely a 'dark horse'! It is said that this psychedelic kung fu movie is because Sanmao heard that Lu Yan had made a costume ghost movie on a whim. Even he himself didn't expect that this movie would be so popular with the public.

With the adjustment of the number of screenings, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story", which is not favored by everyone, has climbed for a while. This classic 'ghost love is not over' completely makes all doubts disappear!

Arrogant? No, apparently not. This is called self-confidence!

If "Police Story" sells Jackie Chan's life-playing performance, and "Mr. Zombie" sells novelty, then "A Chinese Ghost Story" sells moving stories and touching emotional dramas! Among them, the special effects productions that seemed to be very gorgeous during this period also deeply attracted a lot of audiences.

Film critics have naturally been moved by the wind for a long time. began to follow the audience into the cinema to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story", and they really miscalculated this time.

"Director, Chen Wenji hopes to interview you!"

Lu Yan in the office is closely following the comments of major newspapers and magazines on "A Chinese Ghost Story". Suddenly, he heard Yi Shouyi say that someone wanted to interview him, which made him stunned and said, "Chen Wenji! Who is it? ”

"One of the editors-in-chief of Cinema Fortnightly!" Yi Shouyi was very excited, that was the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly"! As the only professional film magazine in Hong Kong at this time, "Film Fortnightly" has a very lofty status in the Hong Kong circle. Now, it's finally time to interview the director!
