Chapter 180: Screening Day
On January 30, the first day of the release of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was the Shaw Pearl Cinema on Paterson Street, Causeway Bay.
Huang Zhan took the hand of his confidante Lin Yanyi all the way, and followed the bustling crowd into the theater. Looking at the theater that was almost full in front of him, Huang Zhan glanced at the movie ticket again before continuing to move forward.
Soon Huang Zhan found his seat with the woman, but before he could sit down, he smiled at a middle-aged man next to him who had been sitting for a long time: "You half-old man, I didn't expect to meet the day when you invited me to watch a movie." ”
"Haha, I can't guarantee the rest, but there is still money for the two of you to watch a movie." The middle-aged man turned his head to look at Huang Zhan and the two smiled.
Huang Zhan looked at a vinyl record in the middle-aged man's hand, and said with a smile while sitting down: "What, Jiahui, have you come to see your apprentice's work?" ”
Gu Jiahui smiled helplessly, waved the record in his hand and said: "I haven't met this Li Xuan yet, so I naturally don't dare to call the apprentice grandson." Almost all of the songs in this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" album are high-quality products, and they were sold out just after they were listed yesterday, and this one was given to me by Yu Qin's filial piety today. ”
"Haha." Huang Zhan laughed and said, "No matter how good you are, no matter how good you are, no one in Hong Kong now doesn't know that this Li Xuan was taught by your apprentice Xu Yuqin." ”
"I don't have this ability, and I don't have this ability." Gu Jiahui waved his hand and looked at the big screen in front of him and said: "I read the report that the soundtrack of this movie is also very good, and this time I can see a masterpiece come out before I leave Hong Kong, and I am also very happy!" ”
"You, you ......" Huang Zhan pointed at Gu Jiahui helplessly and quipped: "People often say that they live to learn all the time, but few do it." It's good that you're still thinking about going to the United States for further study when you're old! ”
"How can this be called a blind toss?" Gu Jiahui pointed to the album in his hand and said: "Sit in the well and watch the sky, how can you know the size of the world if you don't learn much." If nothing else, it's like this album has a lot of things I need to learn......"
"Alright, alright!" Huang Zhan hurriedly interrupted Gu Jiahui's tirade, pointed to the big screen and said, "The movie is about to start, watch the movie and watch the movie." ”
“……”
The album of the same name of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was released one day earlier than the movie, relying on the early publicity of the film and the deep popularity of Xu Xijie Lin Qingxia in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, the record sold more than 6,000 copies in Hong Kong on the first day of its release, which directly led to the sale of out of stock in video stores, and Southeast Asia and Taiwan also won the first stop.
Xu Xijie took advantage of this shareholder wind and successfully entered the Taiwan market. Now Zheng Yuhan can be said to be tired and happy!
And while Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui were still discussing the album, several people were discussing this movie in the Jade Theater next door to the Pearl Theater.
Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng sat side by side, Xu Ke said a few days ago that after some conversations with Mai Jia, he had joined the new art city. It's just that several people haven't figured out what theme of movie to shoot now, so under Xu Ke's "proposal", five of the seven monsters in the future New Art City will come to watch this "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian are also very much looking forward to this movie that has been boasted about in the media for a long time.
As for why the three bigwigs of Xinyicheng did not participate in the premiere of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", it was Li Xuan who did not send an invitation. The current Xinyi City can only be regarded as a small film company, and Li Xuan and these three future bigwigs only have a one-sided relationship. If all of them send invitation letters, it is estimated that Hong Kong's film company Li Xuan will have to send them.
And Shi Nansheng, who is next to Xu Ke, is not the manager of Xinyi City at this time, she just came to watch a movie with her boyfriend.
In today's Hong Kong film industry, Li Xuan has also become a small figure, and even many small film companies have begun to carefully study and imitate his films, ready to follow the trend at any time to make a big profit.
But this time, I'm afraid some people will be disappointed.
The movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was only screened at the beginning, and Mai Jia and the others felt that their eyes were bright. This shot, this picture, and this art are indeed much better than the original martial arts movie.
Especially the fancy martial arts and wonderful light skills shown at the beginning of the movie made the audience dazzled.
Xu Ke watched this movie again, but he felt that he had benefited a lot, and sighed silently in his heart: "This is a real martial arts movie!" ”
It's just that although Xu Ke felt a lot at this time, Mecca next to him frowned, turned his head to look at Huang Baiming and said, "This movie is good, but it's also difficult to learn." ”
"Alas!" Huang Baiming sighed, and then nodded in response: "Yes, not only is it difficult to learn, but it is estimated that it is difficult to even find investors." ”
Hearing Huang Baiming's words, Mai Jia secretly glanced at Xu Ke, and then nodded silently.
"It's so beautiful!"
"The East is undefeated and really domineering."
"I didn't expect Lin Qingxia's men's clothes to be so beautiful!"
"Damn! It is said that out of the East, only I am undefeated. ”
“……”
There was a sudden burst of exclamations mixed with men and women in the screening room, but it was Lin Qingxia who played Dongfang Undefeated was sitting on the barrel of the cannon very domineeringly, and was persuading Dongchang to surrender. After changing into men's clothes, Lin Qingxia's face was full of heroism, which impressed a large number of audiences.
I'm afraid that after today, regardless of men and women, I don't know how many people will bow down under Lin Qingxia's pomegranate skirt.
Mai Jia and the audience were all exclaiming and applauding, but they didn't notice that in the last row of the theater, there were two people sitting quietly watching a movie.
Lin Qingxia finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the fierce reaction of the audience.
Although the audience also praised her Lin Qingxia at the premiere, at that time, there were mostly film critics. In these years, applause abounds, and only at this time can these real audiences praise her that she has finally succeeded in her transformation and is no longer the eternal goddess of love and literary films.
"How? Excited or not? Li Xuan said with a smile on the side.
"Excited!" Lin Qingxia nodded unabashedly and said again: "Thank you." ”
Li Xuan looked at the big screen in front of him and said slowly, "No thanks." ”
The movie continues, and the audience also finds that the fights inside are getting more and more exciting, and finally arrives at the scene where Linghu Chong and Xiang Wentian fight swords in the movie.
"Off-the-sword pose!"
As the protagonist shouted this sentence, a sword light flashed on the big screen. A hearty sword fight brought a great shock to the audience.
Where have the audience seen such wonderful martial arts scenes? I saw that the protagonist flew away in an instant, flying and dancing omnipotently, and pulled out dazzling sword flowers one after another, so that the opponent had no power to fight back.
This is simply the rhythm of crazy and cool hanging and bombing!
While the audience was fascinated, the eyes that didn't dare to blink were also staring at the big screen, for fear that they would miss a second of the wonderful shot.
Li Xuan looked at the theater, which was much quieter in an instant, and couldn't help but laugh softly.
Last year's "Famous Sword", which had a slight taste of new martial arts movies, firmly sat on the top spot at the box office of the year's martial arts movies, and the audience was fascinated. This year, I got the most exciting one in the history of this new school of martial arts movies, and I don't believe that these audiences will not buy it!
A melodious flute sound came from the screen, but it was another scene where Ling Hu Chong chanted poetry to the moon. The bullshit limerick poem also deeply infected the audience at this time, especially the original author of the poem, Xu Ke.
Looking at Ling Hu Chong on the screen, Xu Ke also whispered in a trance: "The world is out of my generation, and the years are urging when I enter the rivers and lakes; Huangtu hegemony ......"
It's a pity that Xu Ke's poem was interrupted by another person before he finished chanting, only to see Mai Jia turn his head to look at Huang Baiming and ask: "Bai Ming, how much did this Li Xuan use to shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu"?" ”
"How much?" Huang Baiming seemed to understand something, touched his nose and replied, "I heard that the shooting cost cost was nearly 7 million yuan in total, and later it cost about 1 million yuan to advertise the premiere or something, and if you add it up, the cost should be about 8 million." ”
"8 million!" Mai Jia said with a yearning face: "We don't know when we will be able to make such a ruthless move. ”
Listening to these two people singing and harmonizing beside him, Xu Ke frowned slightly. He was about to say something when he found his hand being grasped.
Xu Ke turned his head to look and found that Shi Nansheng shook his head lightly at himself. (To be continued.) )
