Chapter 468: Zombie Fever

"The Emperor of Workers" was screened at midnight, and Wang Jixian successfully attracted the attention of the media with a Ferrari. —{2}{3}{}{x}]

In the days that followed, the media expressed great concern about the incident, because it was said that the sports car may have been given to her by Han Jin.

In recent years, the topics that can be related to Han Jin have always been particularly hot, such as his music, such as his dance, such as his movies, such as his scandals......

If a person is popular, even ordinary things like eating and sleeping will get attention.

What's more, Han Jin is now more popular and has more status than before. One of the three major cinema companies in Hong Kong, a real movie tycoon, has such an achievement at a young age, which is a very noteworthy thing in itself.

Not to mention that Han Jin is still single, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend yet, he is a veritable diamond king Lao Wu, no, he is a diamond king Xiaowu, and his love life is naturally particularly eye-catching.

And there are inextricable links between Wang Jixian and him, such as she suddenly drove a Ferrari to run, and according to sources, Han Jin just bought a Ferrari a few days ago. The timing is so well aligned that it's hard not to think of something.

According to sources, when Han Jin and Wang Jixian were filming "The Emperor of Workers", they were doing fake dramas, and the scenes were fake and real. Han Jin was shocked when he saw Wang Jixian for the first time, and he took over this movie because of her.

Otherwise, how could he shoot the movie he invested in, and at the same time, he would have to take time out to act in another film?! If it weren't for Wang Jixian, what could it be?!

All kinds of conjectures. The scandal between Han Jin and Wang Jixian attracted a lot of attention. The newspapers also reported one after another, quoting the words of sources to break the news, and the words they said one by one were conclusive, so that readers were dizzying for a while.

The movie "The Emperor of Workers" also received great attention because of this, and it was officially released a week later, and the box office was very hot, which made Xu Kezhen happy. He was so happy that he was able to achieve this kind of publicity effect without spending almost any publicity money.

I have to say that Han Jin has a lot of ideas. Use your brain a little. has already made the media a mess. Sure enough, he is worthy of being a master of Tai Chi, this trick is used to play with strength, and the trick of four or two thousand catties is great!

Xu Ke decided that after this release ended, he would definitely seal a big red envelope to Han Jin. Thank you to him for his contribution to this film.

……

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Han Jin's backyard is very stable this time. I didn't want to cause a backyard fire like last time, so much so that he had to turn into a firefighter to put out fires everywhere.

Because this time Han Jin learned to be smart, before the plan was implemented. He has already explained to all the beauties that this time it is just for the promotion of "The Emperor of Part-time".

Because he had been vaccinated beforehand, Zeng Huaqian, Zhong Chuhong and others saw the news this time, and they did not ask him hysterically to settle accounts, but instead expressed their appreciation for his ingenuity. Who in Hong Kong can train these media like dogs like Ah King, and let them go wherever they go?!

Han Jin's move was to retreat into advance, not to mention successfully resolving his troubles, and also laid the groundwork for his relationship with Wang Jixian. In the future, even if the relationship between the two of them is exposed, as long as Han Jin does not admit this matter in person, he will insist that this is still the media's suspicion, and Zhong Chuhong, Zeng Huaqian and others will not take him for anything.

Although the release of "The Emperor of Part-time Jobs" was popular, it did not have much impact on "Mr. Zombie". Because by the time it was officially released, Han Jin's "Mr. Zombie" had already been released for half a month, and even if there was no "Working Emperor", the attendance rate of that movie was also declining.

But even so, the average attendance rate of the 19 Shaw Brothers theaters is still six or seven percent, which is a very good result. In the half month since its release, the box office has accumulated to 18 million Hong Kong dollars, and it may break through the 20 million Hong Kong dollar mark at any time.

This surprised many filmmakers in Hong Kong, after all, the genre of zombie films has become a taboo for all filmmakers since the Shaw Brothers failed to shoot "Seven Golden Corpses" in the 70s. For ten years, I didn't touch the theme of zombies again, even Hong Jingbao's "People Are Scary" and "Ghost Fighting" are only haunted and not zombies. Xu Guanwen's "Chasing Ghosts and Seven Heroes" can be known by looking at the name, it is still a ghost and the theme imitates the European and American "Exorcist", which has little to do with zombies.

The hot screening of Han Jin's "Mr. Zombie" has reawakened this theme that has been sleeping for ten years, and made people re-understand the magic of zombie films.

Because this zombie film is actually a variant of kung fu movies in the early Republic of China, films like this generally have a small investment, just invite a few small stars, and then invite a few dragon and tiger martial artists to shoot in the wilderness.

In the late 70s and early 80s, many kung fu movies were made like that, and these filmmakers have long been familiar with the way. It's just that the villain has been replaced by a more vicious and inhuman zombie from a master of the evil sect.

The actors in "Mr. Zombie" also became famous overnight because of the blockbuster of this film, such as Lin Zhengying, who played the Taoist, Liu Dehua, the eldest disciple, the funny Xu Guanwen, the pure and moving Lan Jieyuan, the declining Wu Qiwei, the charming and moving Wu Jiali, etc., of course, they also received a lot of movie invitations, many of which were invitations to zombie films, and wanted to take advantage of the popularity of zombie films.

Han Jin is also helpless about this phenomenon, although he brought the craze for zombie films, but if others want to shoot this theme, he has no reason not to let people start filming. However, he also knows that if he shoots so indiscriminately, zombie movies will be spoiled by them sooner or later, and when the time comes, there will be too many films, and the audience will get tired of watching it, and this theme will have little potential.

"Alas, Hong Kong filmmakers are so short-sighted, if you make so many zombie movies, aren't you afraid that the audience will get tired of watching them? Even if you eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas often, you will be sick to your stomach. Han Jin said depressedly, he asked Yu Zheng to contact the newspaper and help to write an article to persuade him to cool down the current zombie fever.

Yu Zheng also knows that since the box office success of "Mr. Zombie". Now there is a zombie craze in Hong Kong. Now in the wilderness of the New Territories, you can see ghosts, and you can see zombies jumping around in broad daylight, because many crews are working overtime to start filming zombie films.

And they may not even have a serious script, they may just modify the script of the leftover kung fu film before and change it to a scene of master and apprentice fighting zombies, and the quality of this kind of film is naturally visible. is doing this way like theirs, obviously with the idea of making quick money, and as for the quality of the film, they won't care.

Yu Zheng knew that this zombie theme was stirred up by Han Jin. It is this zombie tide brought by Yongsheng Entertainment. Now these filmmakers are obviously trying their best to catch fish, and they should indeed be warned.

Yu Zheng then wrote a earnest article of his own, which was then published in the Oriental Daily under a pseudonym. This is the largest newspaper in Hong Kong right now, and of course the most influential.

The content of the article is to call on filmmakers to exercise restraint. I also hope that the audience will keep their eyes open when watching zombie movies. Don't be fooled by the bad films of some slag vendors.

"It's well known. Now the hottest movie in Hong Kong is none other than "Mr. Zombie" produced by Yongsheng Entertainment Company, with fresh themes and wonderful plots. The attentive performance and large-scale publicity have created the film's high profile and high box office, and also revitalized the genre of 'zombie films' and reappeared in front of Hong Kong audiences.

The author heard that after the popularity of "Mr. Zombie", Hong Kong film companies chasing profits immediately heard the news, and now there are as many as 17 zombie films that are being filmed or about to be filmed. With so many zombie films started filming at the same time, the suburbs of the New Territories were full of ghosts, and you could see the shadows of many zombies during the day, and the scene was really spectacular.

But what worries the author is whether these studios are ready for so many zombie films to be shot at the same time. For example, scripts, actors, schedules......

The popularity of "Mr. Zombie" stems from the fact that it has a good script that tells a very good story. **Stacked, fun, humorous and funny.

And these hastily filmed zombie films, it is rumored that there is not even a formal script, and it is all up to the screenwriter to save jokes on the spot to shoot. Whether the plot of such a zombie film can be as attractive as "Mr. Zombie" is worth a big question mark.

The success of "Mr. Zombie" is also inseparable from the superb performances of the actors. Whether it is Lin Zhengying, who is strict and meticulous, or Liu Dehua, who is heroic and extraordinary, or Xu Guanying, who is humorous and funny, their heartfelt performances all add luster to this movie.

Even several supporting roles, such as Wu Qiwei who played the security captain, Lan Jieying who played Miss Ren's family, Wu Jiali who played the female ghost, etc., all performed very well and left a deep impression on the audience.

In order to better show this role, Lin Zhengying, who plays the Taoist chief, concentrates on learning blessing mantras from Taoist masters in Hong Kong and the method of catching ghosts and subduing demons. For this reason, I practiced for a month, and I was so attentive that I could play the role of the Taoist chief vividly.

And now these hastily launched zombie films, whether the actors have carefully pondered their roles and whether they are ready for the movie, the author once again questioned them.

The popularity of the drama "Mr. Zombie" also lies in the fact that it has a very good schedule, which happens to be the summer file, and the student vacation has injected new blood into the movie-watching market. And "Mr. Zombie", a psychedelic kung fu movie, is just right for the tastes of young people, which makes it so popular.

And the dozen or so zombie films that are being filmed now, when the filming is completed and released, it is unknown whether they will have such a good schedule as they are now. As we all know, if a movie does not have a good schedule, it is impossible to achieve too high a box office.

Therefore, the author is here to cool down the filmmakers, don't see the zombie film is hot, and blindly start shooting this kind of film. Before you start shooting, please be prepared.

Here's also a reminder to all audiences, before watching a new zombie movie, please think about it again, don't spend money to watch a bad movie! ”

After Yu Zheng's article was published, it didn't cause much repercussions at first, but when she was published for a week, it finally attracted people's attention and began to be noticed.

This made many film companies depressed. Especially the filmmakers who are starting to shoot new zombie films, and the filmmakers who are planning to start making zombie films.

They are the filmmakers in the article who are accused of making money and rushing to launch zombie films. In the article, Yu Zheng questioned the quality of their films and urged readers to keep their eyes open.

The influence of Oriental Daily is not small, and Yu Zheng's article has caused a lot of resonance, which puts them under great pressure. If the movie continues to be filmed now, Yu Zheng really got right, he was in a hurry, there was no script, and the actors were not prepared, and now it is filmed, it is basically a bad movie.

When the time comes to release, the box office can be expected. If you don't have these articles, you may be able to cheat a high box office. But with these articles, people will hesitate when choosing to watch the movie. And this hesitation may be lost in millions of box offices, which makes them absolutely lose a lot of money.
