Chapter 442: "Mr. Zombie" premieres
In the evening, "Mr. Zombie" was screened at midnight. 《
Han Jin led a group of celebrities to appear, hoping to see the audience's reaction as soon as possible.
In terms of guests, several leading actors like Lin Zhengying, Xu Guanying, Yuan Hao, Liu Dehua, Wu Qiwei, Lan Jieyuan, Wu Jiali...... It's all in line. In addition, Yu Zheng, Liu Zhenwei, Wang Jing and other behind-the-scenes staff also participated.
In addition to these people, Han Jin did not invite anyone else to watch the ceremony, and even Zeng Huaqian, Zhong Chuhong and others did not receive invitations.
One is that Han Jin doesn't want these women to meet, so he makes him one head and two big, and he doesn't know who to socialize; Second, Han Jin didn't want them to steal the limelight of the movie, so that the reporter only cared about digging up possible scandals and ignored the movie itself.
When Han Jin took everyone to the Shaw Brothers Cinema, Yu Zheng had already organized a group of reporters to interview.
"Jin Shao, the scale of the promotion of "Mr. Zombie" this time is very large, aren't you worried that you may not be able to recover your investment?" The reporter of "Ming Pao" asked with a smile.
"Of course I don't have to worry about it. In fact, the publicity cost of this film is not high, only 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is less than the production cost of the film. Han Jin smiled and waved his hand.
"Wow, three million Hong Kong dollars is not a lot of publicity money?! With less energy, you're too generous, right? The reporter of the "Oriental Daily" was stunned.
Three million Hong Kong dollars is enough to make a movie. Han Jin just threw money at Bo to publicize, and he really worked hard enough.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, a Hollywood movie in the United States. It has always been half of the system fee and the publicity fee. The publicity of our Hong Kong films is not enough, and they often rely on the box office appeal of stars to attract audiences, which is inappropriate and has great hidden dangers. Han Jin waved his hand.
"After all, Hollywood is not Hong Kong, and their market is much larger than ours, so they can earn back the cost. But the market in Hong Kong is very small, can you make back the cost by spending so much money to promote the movie? A reporter from Sing Tao Daily asked.
Han Jin smiled, "Is this money worth spent?" Actually, you've seen the effect too. Now "Mr. Zombie" has become a hot topic in the city. Today's midnight test screening ticket sales, people are queuing up to buy tickets, this phenomenon is rare. ”
"The Hollywood market is indeed huge, but Hong Kong's film market is also not small. Our Hong Kong movies are now in Hong Kong. in Southeast Asia. in Taiwan. In Japan, in Europe, in Canada. In the United States, and in South America, it is also very popular. Therefore, we Hong Kong people must not be presumptuous, our movies are good-looking and wonderful, and the most important thing is that the cost is low, which is promising. Han Jin added.
Hearing him say this, everyone present couldn't help but applaud his pride.
Lan Jieyuan looked at him with admiration, feeling that Han Jin was really handsome in the face of the reporter's interview.
"Jin Shao, do you estimate, how much box office can "Mr. Zombie" earn this time?" The reporter of TVB "TV Weekly" asked with a smile.
"I can't say how much the box office will be now, but I hope the public will come to see it." Han Jin said with a smile.
When the reporters heard him say this, they all laughed.
"Jin Shao, now it's a triwizard competition, Golden Harvest's "Time to Run" and Golden Princess's "Working Emperor" were released at the same time, the cast of their two movies is quite strong, and one is starring you, do you think this "Mr. Zombie" may beat the other two?" The reporter of "Oriental Daily" asked again.
"I can't answer that question right now, but I sincerely hope that every movie will do well at the box office." Han Jin said with a smile, "I don't like to use the word 'defeat', because everyone is from Hong Kong and their own people, so what's there to talk about infighting?" Hong Kong's local market is not very large, even if it takes the first place here, what can it do? I think Hong Kong filmmakers should still be proactive and explore more foreign markets, not just focus on the box office of their own cities. ”
Hearing Han Jin say this, all the reporters present looked at each other and felt that what he said was quite reasonable. The annual local box office of Hong Kong films is only about 600 million Hong Kong dollars, which sounds like a lot of money, but there are a lot of people who want to share this piece of cake.
Not to mention the three major film companies of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Xinyicheng, other medium-sized production companies such as Han Jin's Yongsheng Entertainment Company, Deng Guangrong's Darong Film Company, Xu Ke's Film Studio, and the crucian carp-like leather bag company across the river are countless.
With so many people sharing this piece of cake, the competition is naturally quite fierce. This kind of infighting consumes the vitality of Hong Kong films, and Shaw Brothers, an old company with a history of 30 years, has exhausted its last bit of strength by infighting.
Even if you beat everyone else and enjoy a box office of 600 million a year by yourself, there is nothing remarkable, it is less than 100 million US dollars. In comparison, the Japanese film market is as high as $1.6 billion, and the American film market is as high as $5 billion.
In comparison, Hong Kong is just a quagmire, even if everyone is defeated, it is just a frog at the bottom of the well, sitting in the well and watching the sky, so Han Jin is not interested in defeating Golden Harvest and New Art City at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped Xinyicheng make a movie, and he wouldn't have helped Hong Jingbao make a cameo.
"Okay, don't just talk about interviewing me, we still have a lot of celebrities here." Han Jin smiled and pushed Liu Dehua and Lan Jieyuan out and said.
The reporters also smiled, and then reasoned with the others.
……
After another half an hour, after the interview, the theater manager came to inform me that the audience had entered the theater and the film was about to start.
Hearing him say this, Han Jin clapped his hands to everyone present and said with a smile, "Okay, everyone, it's our turn to be tested by the audience." After saying that, he took a step forward, led everyone into the theater, and then found a place to sit down.
Lan Jieyuan and Wu Jiali naturally sat next to Han Jin, and next to them were the director, leading actors and others lined up.
After everyone was seated. The movie officially began to be screened, and the first thing that appeared was naturally 1ogo of Yongsheng Entertainment Company, and after it was released, four big green characters "Mr. Zombie" appeared on the screen, which made people feel trembling, and it seemed that the back of the spine was beginning to cool.
Lan Jieyuan usually doesn't dare to watch horror movies, but after sitting down, while the lights were dark, everyone didn't pay attention, and they had quietly held Han Jin's hand.
Han Jin also sensed that her hands were a little cold. I couldn't help but smile. He handed over his other hand, wrapped Lan Jieyao's hand in the middle, and used his body temperature to warm her hands. Feeling Han Jin's careful care, Lan Jieyuan felt much more comfortable. My whole body became warmer.
After the four big words "Mr. Zombie". Begin to show the system zuò team. Producer. HAN Jin; Planning, Han Jin, Wang Jing; Producer. WANG Jiawei; Director, Liu Zhenwei...... It's all written in that miserable green font, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable when they look at it.
After a while, the report of the production team was completed, and it was finally the turn of the official plot.
In the first shot, I saw a large hall with large and small coffins.
Xu Guanying pushed the door in, and then burned incense to worship.
"Everyone is a guest, let you eat first." He just wanted to offer incense to the ancestral tablet, when he suddenly stopped. followed to the corner of the wall and opened the curtain with a bang. saw more than a dozen zombies appear at once, startling the audience in the theater.
I saw that these zombies were all wearing Qing Dynasty official robes, their faces were pale and bloodless, and they still had yellow paper charms on their faces, which looked very weird.
Lan Jieyuan closed her eyes suddenly, if it weren't for the scruples of others being present, she really wanted to hide in Han Jin's warm and solid chest.
Han Jin also sensed her fear, and hurriedly held her hand tightly, making her feel her strength.
Xu Guanying then incensed these zombies, and also picked the wick in the soul-attracting lamp upwards, so that these zombies would not wander around after the lights went out.
When Lin Zhengying was filming this drama, he also consulted a lot of Taoist masters, Mr. Feng Shui, and Yin-Yang Warlocks, and did a lot of meticulous work in advance. Like this soul-attracting lamp, he researched it and added it to this movie.
It's just a small detail, but it's the subtleties. In a movie with a ghost theme like this, the more detailed the details, the more people feel that it is true, and the sense of natural substitution is also greatly increased.
After taking care of these zombies, Xu Guanying incense the coffins one by one. Suddenly, a bunch of incense that he stuffed into the coffin shrank in, as if something was pulling it in, which made the audience a little frightened.
Xu Guanying was also taken aback, and he put a stick of incense on the coffin again. But this time his incense shot like an arrow.
Seeing this scene, Xu Guanying couldn't help but be even more puzzled, and he walked over to find out. Seeing him lift the lid of the coffin alone, the audience below couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him.
In people's impressions, there are usually dead bodies in the coffin, or evil spirits and other evil things, Xu Guanying himself stupidly went to lift the coffin lid, it was really the birthday guy who ate arsenic - looking for death!
Sure enough, I saw that he easily lifted the lid of the coffin, but a skull suddenly poked out and bit Xu Guanying's hand at once.
This time, not only Xu Guanying was scared, but the audience was also taken aback, and they couldn't imagine that there was really something evil in the coffin.
Lan Jieyuan also screamed, closed her eyes all of a sudden, and even blocked her ears, not daring to look or listen, for fear that she would have nightmares at night.
When Han Jin saw her scared like that, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, thinking that Yami was so cute.
Xu Guanying easily got rid of the gnawing of the skull and snatched his hand back, but he still didn't give up, he still had to open the coffin to see what was going on.
But it was easy to open the coffin again, and suddenly a hand reached out from it, and at once it grasped him firmly. Xu Guanying's whole person was almost dragged into the coffin, his face was tightly attached to the coffin lid, although he looked frightened, but because his appearance was too weak, it made people feel very funny.
I have to say that Xu Guanying is a natural comedian, and his expression is very well done, which makes people feel scared and curious, and it is very interesting to see him die stupidly.
Xu Guanying easily broke free from the shackles of her big hand, but she also opened her head and fell to the sky.
Seeing his wolf appearance, the audience couldn't help laughing.
Xu Guanying was born with a declining appearance, among their four brothers, although the eldest Xu Guanwen is not a pretty boy, he also looks like a gentleman, with a bookish atmosphere of an intellectual; The second brother Xu Guanwu is engaged in behind-the-scenes work and rarely comes to the stage, so although he is not handsome, it doesn't matter; The younger brother Xu Guanjie, a generation of singers in Hong Kong, is handsome and chic, and is a famous beautiful boy.
Only he himself is the most decrepit in appearance, and he was born with an unlucky appearance of being bullied. So when people see him unlucky, they can't help but laugh out loud.
Xu Guanying fell to the ground and couldn't get up for half a day, and saw a pair of legs wearing boots running out of the coffin.
He was afraid that it was a zombie that caused trouble, so he hurriedly took off the gossip treasure mirror to suppress evil and catch monsters.
This gossip mirror was also added by Lin Zhengyingjian, and with these quirky magic weapons, this movie is also a lot more interesting. (To be continued!)
