Chapter 220: Box Office Encounter
Chapter 220 Box Office Encounter
Today's emcee's dedication and professionalism are definitely affirmed by Lu Yan and everyone. It's just that the only ones who have some resentment are the reporters who are waiting for a long time. Now they can only record the conversation between the emcee and Lu Yan and take pictures.
However, the reporters waited hard, and Lu Yan must have given these reporters a chance.
What makes Lu Yan helpless is that these reporters are hollowing out their hearts to create topics and comparisons with Tsui Hark's "Sword and Horse". In fact, the content of the two films is already very different.
"Director Lu, how did you come up with the idea of letting Anita Mui appear in men's clothes at the beginning? I remember Lin Qingxia in "Sword and Horse", which is men's clothing"
Regarding this question, Lu Yan was a little helpless. Anita Mui's men's clothing is just such a scene. And the other party can actually compare it with Lin Qingxia. But helplessly, the answer still has to be answered. "Sister Mei and Lin Qingxia's men's clothing have their own flavors. I have to watch "Dao Ma Dan", I have to say, Lin Qingxia's men's clothes are very heroic and sassy......"
""Rouge Buckle" is very exciting, but "Sword and Horse" is also a rare classic. For the box office, does Director Lu think there is still a chance to catch up? ”
"It's not a problem until it's finalized. Because everything is possible" always hearing others compare their own movies with others, Lu Yan is somewhat boring. Especially when "Rouge Buckle" had just finished premiering, Lu Yan smiled and said: ""Sword and Horse" is definitely a rare masterpiece, as for the box office, let's all look at the data and speak."
When everyone heard Lu Yan's tone, they naturally knew that their words had annoyed the director who was still proud of the spring breeze just now. But that's what they wanted. Because Lu Yan's answer just now was enough for them to use it for news.
"What Director Lu means: Although "Dao Ma Dan" is very exciting, "Rouge Buckle" is still expected to catch up with its box office?"
"Director Lu, is this a war letter to Director Tsui Hark?"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Lu Yan didn't give any more answers to these questions, but he snickered in his heart. If you don't make some news, how can you give up and give up If you don't make some news, the box office of "Rouge Buckle" may have a lot less attention. Lu Yan has always liked to put himself on the opposite side of media reporters, and then play such a routine.
It's just that many times his truth is true and false, even those reporters are difficult to distinguish.
Although Lu Yan was 'angry' by reporters, the premiere ceremony was still held. Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui each performed the song "Rouge Buckle".
The whole premiere ceremony, in addition to watching the movie, has many other pleasures. At the premiere ceremony of "Rouge Buckle", Lu Yan also specially asked the staff to prepare many small gifts for the lucky audience at the scene. The reporters who came to interview also got something from each other.
Small gifts are said to be valuable, and they are not valuable. This is mainly based on the measurement in your heart
A booklet of "Rouge Buckle", which is full of photos of Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui. There are also some on-site photos of Lu Yan and other behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew, but the precious thing is that each booklet is signed.
There are Lu Yan's, Leslie Cheung's, Anita Mui...... But everyone gets it right away, and it's up to your luck to decide who signs the booklet you get.
Such a gift is not limited to this cinema, all the cinemas under the Turvo brand that show the "Rouge Buckle" movie have staff who deliver such pamphlets.
In addition to making those audiences feel fun and fresh, it is also an alternative way to promote "Rouge Buckle".
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
With the release of "Rouge Buckle", the film critics were naturally shaken. Lu Yan kept talking about literary films, but chose to let Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, two celebrities in the music world, star in the stars. So the effect, will it be good?
Now, Lu Yan uses movies to prove whether the actors he chooses can perform in such literary films
Among the movies about people and ghosts, the themes of "searching" and "waiting" in "Rouge Buckle" are the most eye-catching. Ruhua's waiting stems from her infatuation. She was originally a Qinglou woman in Shitangzui, and she made a small pipa at the age of 16, and she was also a top name in Yihong Mansion. The song "Autumn Hate on the Journey" aroused Chen Twelve's sideways, although it was a reverse performance, it also made Chen Twelve-young feel a little unspeakable in his eyebrows.
The next day, Chen Twelve Shao came to the Red Mansion in person and asked Ruhua to accompany him. Who knew that Ruhua used the trick of "dry fried soft-shelled turtle" to try Chen Twelve's sincerity. In fact, the two had already communicated with each other at this time and knew each other. Why did Chen Twelve Shao come, and why was he willing to wait for Ruhua to play eight laps and then come to accompany the guests, Ruhua already knew it. What she didn't expect was that Chen Twelve Shao set off firecrackers in the Yihong Mansion with great fanfare, hired manpower to carry it into a big bed, and this open courtship finally won the favor of flowers.
But after all, Chen Twelve Shao is the son of a wealthy family, and his parents naturally want to choose a daughter-in-law who is the right person, and the identity of a girl like a flower cannot enter the door of the Chen family. Two people who love each other can't be together in life, and they have to die together. So one night in 1934, the two committed suicide by swallowing opium. Ruhua came to the underworld, but she couldn't wait for Chen Twelve. That's more than 50 years. After waiting anxiously, she returned to the world, and with the help of an editor of the newspaper, she finally found Chen Twelve, who was already old.
is such a love story, but it has become a treasure trove of those cinemas under Debao. Often the audience who watched this movie was teary-eyed. Even if they walked out of the movie theater, they still couldn't get out of the love story that Lu Yan weaved for them.
It is precisely because this "Rouge Buckle" is so shocking that it has naturally become an indelible classic in literary films.
Now that this "Rouge Buckle" is out, who dares to say that Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui are just singers and not actors? Even whether the singer has acting talent has become a topic. Is it the director's skills, or the actors' acting skills?
"Rouge buckle, what can't be buckled is love"
This Chinese-style ghost love carefully created by Li Bihua is too illusory for people who are still obsessed with love. The relationship between men and women is too ordinary, so it is difficult to give up. However, in the movie, the love entanglement between the infatuated Qinglou woman Ruhua and the dashing rich son Chen Shishishao is embarrassing. The infatuated resentful girl loves a man who leaves everything behind, but it is difficult to cross life and death, and in the end, when facing feelings, only empty words are the head
And the finishing touch of this movie lies in the role played, where I have to admire Director Lu's selection again. It seems that he has such a magic power to tap into the potential of each actor. Anita Mui plays Ruhua, although she is not beautiful and moving, but she portrays the sorrow and helplessness in the hearts of women in the social stratum back then. Undoubtedly, another beautiful posture has been created, and Leslie Cheung played Chen Twelve Shao, the two are quite a match, and the elder brother has interpreted Chen Twelve Shao's childish, willful, persistent and helpless temperament perfectly. It's a pity that there are little wonderful performances of the two people in the film, even if the movie is not very perfect, the audience will feel that it is worth the ticket price. What's more, this Lu's movie is still so classic?
Back to the end of the film, although Ruhua is still as beautiful as ever, it is difficult to hide the haggard on his face and the pain in his heart. Facing the twelve young people who are already old, but still surviving in the world. With the ups and downs of the music, the sadness in my heart is still born. There is no repentance in front of feelings, only regrets, the heart is dead, the love is gone, the memories are empty, waiting for love, patience, and carrying everything, but these seem to be so ignorant and ignorant. Feelings may be given and repaid for free, but it is difficult to cross life and death. Maybe this is the dividing line between life and feelings, as the so-called ten years of life and death are boundless, not thinking, unforgettable, it is simple, but who can understand the tragic price paid behind it?

The sudden success of the movie "Rouge Buckle" has left many people unclear who has achieved whom. But one thing is certain, that is, without Lu Yan, there would be no current "Rouge Buckle".
Li Bihua's original work also began to be out of stock again because the box office of "Rouge Buckle" was rising. Anita Mui seems to have been completely recognized by filmmakers with this movie. Her agent has received countless invitations to films.
Leslie Cheung, after "A Chinese Ghost Story", once again successfully created the role of the Twelve Youths. Although in the whole movie, his role is less than forty minutes. But every word and deed is still fresh in people's memories.
The success of "Rouge Buckle" is beyond doubt. And Lu Yan's big words: 'Everything is unknown until the end' also became the front page headlines of many gossip tabloids. Some other newspapers and magazines have also marked this sentence.
What is this? Is it Lu Yan's challenge to Tsui Hark?
Originally, everyone thought that it was impossible for "Rouge Buckle" to encounter the drama of "Dao Ma Dan", but with the appearance of this sentence. Everything is starting to change its flavor again. Now that "Sword and Horse" is released before, it has undoubtedly suffered from "Rouge Buckle"
