Chapter 186: The Sentiment is Radiant
It has been nearly 20 days since the release of "The Great Sage of Love", and the slogan of "The Great Sage of Love" has attracted many young people nowadays. The big talk fans of the year also walked into the theater to watch the classics directed by Liu Zhenwei at one time. The storm of nonsensical comedy struck again in Christmas 2005, and it was unstoppable.
As early as the first weekend, it swept the box office of 15 million, becoming a real box office dark horse. Although "The Great Sage of Love" is not as good as the star cast of "Wu Ji", and the Hong Kong director has not been sought after by the media like director Zhang Yimou, the film has both a funny and touching style, telling a very simple love story. And its relaxed and romantic film style has indeed won the hearts of the audience in such a Christmas sprinkled with the warm winter sun.
This is a joyful movie, and it takes a considerable advantage in the Chinese New Year stalls. This time, "The Great Sage of Love" was caught between "Wuji" and "Thousand Miles", and the "Happy New Year" won an unexpected market share. Under the promotion of its series of promotion activities of "The Ultimate Ten Years of Classics", it has achieved a double harvest of box office reputation, which is the best proof of the success of the film's positioning and a full affirmation of the overall distribution ability.
So far, it has earned more than 50 million yuan at the box office, so there will be a celebration banquet in Hong Kong. It just so happens that Yang Lin, Nicholas Tse and others are all in Hong Kong now, just to give a signal to the outside world and give a little vitality to the gradually weakening box office.
The celebration banquet was in a hotel in Kowloon, Hong Kong, and there were a lot of media present, and when Yang Lin arrived, he was surrounded by white flowers in front of him, fortunately he brought a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses in order to be handsome, otherwise his eyes would have been spent.
entered the backstage without stopping, leaving the reporters to take pictures behind him, Yang Lin was quite chic. Today's Yang Lin is wearing a black jacket, the surface of the jacket is shiny, and it looks shiny. His hair stood on end, unaware of the wax. However, this hairstyle also makes him look energetic and handsome.
Inside the jacket is a white T-shirt, and he wears a mechanical watch on his wrist, which looks simple and faintly elegant. Entering the backstage, director Liu Zhenwei and heroine Cai Zhuoyan have arrived.
Yang Lin went up to say hello to the two of them, and said to Cai Zhuoyan: "You and Nicholas Tse played a couple before, but now it's finally my turn." ”
Covering her mouth, Asa giggled, "You still say." It will be turned on in a few days. I'm not ready yet. Every time I come out, it's so funny, I haven't learned how to play Lolita yet. ”
"I said, you two, now is the celebration banquet of "The Great Sage of Love", how can you discuss other things?" Liu Zhenwei joked with a smile, it seemed that he was in a good mood. After all, the box office has exceeded 50 million, and it is estimated that there will be 75 million by the time of the next painting. For the investment in this film, a lot of money has been made.
Yang Lin followed Cai Zhuoyan to look at each other, and then laughed, they rarely saw Liu Zhenwei joking with them like this. Yang Lin is just an inconsequential supporting role, and he came to celebrate the party just by the way.
While talking, Nicholas Tse came, and he was surrounded by reporters. But he was unmoved, stepped forward on his own, and went directly to the backstage. Taking off his glasses, he smiled at a few people.
It was still a little early before the celebration, and a few people were sitting on the sofa chatting. Nicholas Tse is a busy man, and two movies were released at the same time. He starred in the two films "The Great Sage of Love" and "Wuji", and he often asked him to evaluate the two movies.
Yang Lin said hello to Nicholas Tse, and then patted each other on the shoulder, the two are very familiar, master and apprentice. In other words, the entertainment industry is really small, no, the three actors here are going to meet in another movie. Nicholas Tse is going to make a cameo in "Baby Project".
"Acting with Jackie Chan, will it be very stressful?" Yang Lin approached Nicholas Tse and asked him in a low voice. Previously, Nicholas Tse also collaborated with Jackie Chan in a movie "New Police Story". In that movie, Nicholas Tse's performance was remarkable, and he was not suppressed by Jackie Chan.
But now Yang Lin is facing Jackie Chan's forte: kung fu comedy. If he wants not to be suppressed by his light, Yang Lin must find his own shining point. But how easy is this to say, if you fight for acting skills, Yang Lin feels that he is not much worse than Jackie Chan, but in terms of martial arts, they are not half a star worse.
Nicholas Tse comforted him and said: "Actually, Jackie Chan is a very serious person, as long as you are willing to learn from him, everything is not a problem." ”
The two chatted a lot, which was not much help to Yang Lin, but it also brought in the relationship between the two.
The celebration party started on time, and several actors and director Liu Zhenwei slowly walked up to the stage, lined up for the reporters to take pictures to their heart's content. Yang Lin put his hands behind his back, and then looked ahead with a smile with a natural expression.
A simple champagne celebration is followed by a question from a journalist.
"Director Chen, what is your estimate of the final box office of this movie? Is it possible to be 80 million? A reporter asked bluntly, which is exactly in line with today's theme.
Now is not the time to be cautious, and if you want to stimulate a weak market, you have to make a little bit of surprise. "Now it has been released for 20 days and 50 million at the box office. This is not the end, our goal is to continue to go up, and 80 million should not be a problem. Liu Zhenwei's words revealed a sense of confidence.
"The box office has broken 50 million, do you have any celebrations? Don't the leading actors have any indications? Why don't you kiss Nicholas Tse? A reporter raised such a question and wanted two people who often work together to kiss, which can not only hype up the scandal between the two, but also attract more attention to the movie.
The reporters and the audience applauded and shouted: "Kiss one, kiss one." ”
On the stage, Yang Lin and Liu Zhenwei also clapped their hands in agreement. Asa's face turned red instantly, and she didn't know if it was shyness or something else. In short, she became a cute little girl in an instant.
However, she is not a vegetarian, how can the entertainment industry after so many years be stumped by this problem. At this time, Yang Lin pushed Nicholas Tse with his hand and asked him to take a step forward.
The uproar in the audience was louder, and reporters prepared their cameras to record the scene.
Ah Sa's eyes rolled, then he raised the microphone and said to the reporters in the audience: "Kiss it, kiss it, what's the big deal." However, what I want to see most is the kiss between Nicholas Tse and Yang Lin, do you want to see it? This one is more interesting and more gimmicky. "She kept encouraging the reporters in the audience to make the voices more and more loud." Kiss one, kiss one! ”
Then she crossed her hands on her chest, looked at Yang Lin and Nicholas Tse proudly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't hide the smile.
Yang Lin tilted his head, then rolled his eyes. What is this, how did it come to me? "I said, this is a matter for the two of you starring. You're all waiting for you two down there, right? Don't pull me on. If Nicholas Tse doesn't dare, I can kiss you. ”
The reporters in the audience are gone, and it is not surprising that a man and a woman abound in the entertainment industry. If the two male stars kiss, it will be exciting news, and the other gods and horses are weak. "Nicholas Tse and Yang Lin, come one, come one!"
Asa smirked, "You two heard that, right?" This is the voice of the people, you have to meet the requirements of the audience and reporters, let's shout together: kiss one, kiss one! ”
Nicholas Tse, who has always been standing at the front coolly, spoke, "I said, I didn't agree, why did you two arrange me?" He pursed his lips, then glanced at the two of them. To play this game, you two go for it. Yang Lin, Ah Sa doesn't mind, you are a big man, what are you afraid of, just go up and kiss it. ”
Ah Sa quit, she finally led the topic to the two of them, how could she give up halfway. "You two are still not men! If it's a man, be decisive, what's this, isn't "Brokeback Mountain" very good? Don't worry, I won't discriminate against you. ”
What replied to her were two extremely sharp gazes, and if the eyes could kill, she would be dead. He took half a step back with a little weakness, then puffed up his chest again, and turned his head away, not looking at the two of them.
"I'm fighting for everyone's welfare. Would you like to see the two of them kissing? I'm risking my life, what about your screams? She made a scared gesture.
There were screams and applause, and Liu Zhenwei stood aside, watching the three young people finish by themselves and make trouble by themselves. No matter who kisses who today, it will be the front page tomorrow.
"Director, do you think the two of them should kiss each other? Contribute to our films. A little coquettish, Asa pulled a talisman on herself, she wanted to drag Liu Zhenwei into the water.
Waving his hand again and again, Liu Zhenwei said: "You young people's affairs should be solved by yourself, but as soon as possible, time is precious, and no waste is prevented." ”
Nicholas Tse and Yang Lin glanced at each other, feeling a sense of sacrifice, and then exchanged a "you know" look with each other. To others, it's just a flirtation. The audience in the audience just started screaming, and Nicholas Tse and Yang Lin turned their heads at the same time, turning their backs to each other, and then they both had a disdainful expression.
In the eyes of Yang Lin and the others, if you want to get it, you have to make it valuable, and it is useless not to kiss it. Asa motioned to the audience to lower their voices and looked at the stage attentively.
I saw Yang Lin and Nicholas Tse turn around almost at the same time, and then walked towards each other. Unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts any longer, the reporters pressed the shutter in unison to record it.
Getting closer and closer, Yang Lin and the two deliberately staggered their pace, Yang Lin moved slightly forward, and Nicholas Tse was behind. After seeing the small movements of the two, experienced people will know that this is preparing for the borrowed shooting.
Getting closer and closer, the two were almost next to each other, and then smiled at the same time, taking advantage of the mislocation to pretend to kiss twice. The audience in the back couldn't see it and really thought that the two had kissed, and instantly erupted into an amazing scream, although the reporters in front saw the dislocation of the two, they still filmed it, as long as they added a little hint, who would know that this was filmed by borrowing.
Then the reporters standing on both sides of the stage did not have such good luck, and the two were photographed kissing at a distance of one arm's length, which was too fake.
Although they didn't really kiss, the two pretended to wipe their lips, and then each turned their heads, made disgusting movements, and "blush" twice into the air. This made the audience and reporters happy.
Yang Lin looked at the reaction of the audience, and was quite happy, although he sacrificed his image. He and Nicholas Tse are worthy of acting skills, and they really act like that.
Journalists are happy, tomorrow's news is back, and some are already thinking about how much money they can make. This trip is worth it.
