Volume 1 Chapter 129 "Color is Emptiness" is released
The conditions offered by Xinya, no matter which one of them, are much more generous than Jiahe, so that Ye Zilin cannot refuse.
Although her own style is conservative, it doesn't mean that she hasn't reflected on what she has been doing all these years, otherwise there wouldn't be so many tempting scenes in "Overlord Flower", so much so that she would have to make a second edit when it was released in Singapore.
Although he did not agree to New Asia's invitation on the spot, but after bringing the contract back, Lin Xiaozhi received a call from her in the afternoon of the next day, and after a day of thinking, Ye Zilin finally agreed to sign a contract with New Asia.
The signing with Ye Zilin was completed on the 17th of the month, which was delayed by two days. Without it, the movie "Miracle" starring Cheng Long, in which Guy Ye Zilin participated, happened to be completed the day before, and Ye Zilin wanted to participate in the celebration of the completion of "Miracle". Although she only got a brief scene as a bar guest in the movie "Miracle". But Cheng Long has the grace of supporting her, and when she has not decided to join Golden Harvest for a long time, she still won her a role in her own movie.
The anticipation of waiting has not been able to wait, it is a smart woman, although she is obsessed with climbing up, Lin Xiaozhi has never doubted Ye Yuqing's wisdom. He left the key and the contract, what does it mean Lin Xiaozhi didn't believe that the woman didn't understand. He waited a week without her call; After waiting for ten days and still not waiting for her to come to the company to sign a contract and return the key, Ye Yuqing's decision was already very clear.
After signing the leaf lintel, Lin Xiaozhi's unhappiness finally faded. Jiahe poached Ye Yuqing, who he had carefully cultivated, and similarly he snatched the boba leaf lintel from Jiahe that they would fire on the screen in the future, and flattened.
On the side of the Film and Television Department, although Lin Xiaozhi and Xinya both hope that "Color is Empty" can get a rating, the system of the level bill that was just established at the end of last year is still relatively perfect. "Color is Empty" failed to appeal twice and failed to be recognized by the electrical inspection team, and finally landed in theaters as a ∏-level movie.
However, the good news also came, Xu is out of confidence in the tertiary films produced by New Asia, and Xu is the news about New Asia and New Asia's upcoming new movie "Color is Empty" can be seen almost every day in the media in the past half month. When Zheng Fei contacted Debao again, Cen Jianxun, the president of the theater chain, only talked with him for more than an hour to determine the release time, number of screenings and the first theater release of "Color is Empty".
The premiere of "Color is Empty" arranged by Debao is Friday, March 3, just in time to take over the "Family Carnival" that has been determined to be painted on this day, and compete for the box office in March. This time is different from the previous two times, Cen Jianxun waved his hand, and directly agreed to the premiere and arranged for "Color is Empty" to land in all the theaters under Debao, you must know that the Debao Cinema Line at this time already has a large and small theater, and the theater line on the schedule is also very cooperative, "Family Carnival" once enjoyed the treatment of seven screenings a day Xinya failed to eat, but it won the promise of arranging five screenings a day, which is not bad.
After negotiating the release, the whole machine of New Asia began to enter the stage of overload, under the command of Lin Xiaozhi, the most popular wave of publicity before the release was launched, and almost every day, there was news about New Asia and its new movie about the upcoming release of the major newspapers. Lin Xiaozhi even paid money to buy three issues of advertisements in "Film Fortnightly", the advantage is that "Color is Empty" officially entered the eyes of film critics, and the disadvantage is also obvious, once the movie has a bad reputation, New Asia is likely to be directly sprayed to death by the "Film Fortnightly", which dominates Hong Kong film criticism and public opinion.
Moreover, thanks to this last wave of publicity, the investment in "Color is Empty" officially exceeded 6 million Hong Kong dollars.
As the release of the movie approached, under the instruction of Lin Xiaozhi, Zheng Fei did not neglect to inquire about competing films from other companies released at the same time. Soon, Lin Xiaozhi got the most detailed release catalog in his hands
The Hong Kong box office in March has basically walked out of the Lunar New Year schedule and entered a low ebb period. But this year, Lin Xiaozhi did not dare to neglect at all, because among the movies released in March this year, there are really a few movies that have the ability to affect the box office of "Color is Empty", and Golden Harvest Cinemas has determined that "Dragons and Phoenixes", which will be promoted in March, is one of the opponents that "Color is Empty" needs to face.
This film invested by Hung Jinbao's Baoxiang Pictures can be described as star-studded, Hung Jinbao, Lin Zhengying, Shum Jianxun, Zeng Zhiwei, Yuan Kui, Lou Nanguang, Zhang Jianting, Chen Long, Di Wei, Zhong Fa, Liu Jialiang, etc., dozens of first- and second-tier artists are on the same stage, and even Yuan Jieying, the heroine of "Color is Empty", also participated in this movie, and thanks to the filming of "Color is Empty", she will not be overwhelmed by taking two plays at the same time. The relationship between Hung Jinbao and Golden Harvest is well known in the industry, so this movie has received strong support from Golden Harvest, and the first opponent to face when "Color is Empty" is released is "Dragons and Phoenixes", which will be released on the first day of the month.
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and the schedule arranged by Debao for "Color is Empty" is really unspeakable. A week ago, the star-studded "Dragons and Phoenixes" landed in theaters ahead of schedule, affecting its first-week box office with the trend of being released for a week. After its release, "Color is Empty" is a strong sniper in the face of the annual blockbuster of New Arts City. This new art city invested 10 million yuan to shoot a movie, and invited the big director Du Qifeng, who was in charge of last year's box office champion "Eight Star Annunciation", to take the director, and Zhou Yanfa and Zhang Aijia, the two actors, carried the banner on their shoulders and landed in the Golden Princess Cinema on March 16.
In addition to these films, none of the other movies released at the same time can threaten the box office of "Color is Empty". Debao's own "Mr. Developed" will be released on the day of the month and will be tied to Golden Harvest's "Dragons and Phoenixes", but this film with an investment of more than 3 million yuan is not surprisingly inferior to "Dragons and Phoenixes". Golden Harvest's "Four Thousand Gold", it is said that more than 7 million yuan was invested, bringing together Liu Jialing, Wang Xiaofeng, Li Zhi, Lu Liangwei, Er Dongsheng, Ren Dahua, Li Ming, Cao Charlie and many other handsome men and women, but Lin Xiaozhi once inquired about the plot and heard that it was very ordinary. Therefore, although this movie is scheduled to be released on March 4 by Golden Harvest, with "Dragons and Phoenixes" sniping "Color is Empty", which will be released in Debao Cinemas, it should not affect it.
On the day of the month, a sensational piece of current political news spread throughout the world, and Yu Liang, Beijing's ambassador to the Soviet Union, extended an invitation to Gorbachev to visit China. Just a week ago, Mikhail Gorbachev, chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union and general secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, once again reiterated at a party and government meeting that he would place Soviet-Chinese relations in the same important position as NATO countries, and that he would actively contact the Chinese side to discuss the withdrawal of troops from the border between the two sides. Since Khrushchev came to power, relations between China and the Soviet Union have deteriorated rapidly, and the million-strong armies of the two countries have been facing each other on the border for many years, and fierce conflicts have broken out from time to time, and even the threat of nuclear confrontation has almost broken out on several occasions. Beijing's invitation to Gorbachev to visit China, combined with Gorbachev's previous efforts to send his secretary to China many times, was immediately interpreted by the outside world as a new page in the relationship between the world's two largest red countries.
On this day, there was another piece of information that attracted the attention of the Hong Kong film industry. Golden Harvest held a signing ceremony at the Shangri-La Hotel, which was also attended by the boss Zou Minhuai, and announced that Golden Harvest officially signed the current hottest star Ye Yuqing, bringing this sexy actress who was beautiful last year under Golden Harvest.
When the news came out, some people inevitably looked at Xinya, who had always been silent. After continuously rejecting the interview application from the "Oriental Daily" and other summer vacation newspapers, Lin Xiaozhi, who was really annoyed and helpless, asked Zheng Fei to say a few words in the media interview, "Congratulations to Jiahe, Fu Ye Yuqing, and other scenes, as for the relationship between him and Ye Yuqing that the media is curious about, and why New Asia failed to sign a contract with Ye Yuqing, etc., Lin Xiaozhi ignored all the gossip news.
On the day of the month, Debao's "Mr. Developed" was the first to land on the screen, and the box office of 10,000 on the first day and the poor reputation disappointed Debao's senior management. On the second day, Golden Harvest's "Dragons and Phoenixes" was released, although Hung Jinbao's funny martial arts action film with no change of soup but not medicine has a poor reputation, but relying on the plot and grand star lineup that is not bad, the box office easily exceeded dU million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, and the developed Mr. Debao is immediately on the rise.
In the time of waiting, time always seems to pass quickly. In a flash, it walked out of the short February and entered the spring of March.
On Friday, March 3, Lin Xiaozhi came to the company early in the morning, and he left the movie ticket given by Debao in the company yesterday because he was in too much of a hurry.
Today is the first day of the screening of "Color is Emptiness", and the premiere of their film will start at 10 o'clock in the morning, so Lin Xiaozhi is not in a hurry, and he stayed in the company until 9 o'clock before he took a few movie tickets and put them on his body, ready to leave the company. Although this "Color is Empty" has been well publicized and has been hyped up a lot, it can't hide the fact that the film director is a newcomer and the actors are all second-tier in the industry.
Zhang Ailing's words are right, you should become famous as soon as possible. In this eyeball economic era that you will enter, you are known to others, and money and benefits are coming. Lin Xiaozhi, who is a man of two lives, understands this truth very well, so he has always cared not much about other people's evaluation of him, and would rather be the black hand behind the scenes and splash ink on his body to hype, but also to make himself the king of topics and attract enough attention and popularity.
"Color is Empty" Lin Xiaozhi takes it very seriously, some people think it is a Fengyue film, but in fact, there are really few Fengyue scenes in it, and the plot is also very attractive, which is also the reason why Lin Xiaozhi took it and really regarded it as a New Asia transformation movie.
From the very beginning, he has positioned himself for a film that is clearly aimed at young men between the ages of 184 and old boys between the ages of 5. These two age groups are the most sensitive periods, and I believe that many of the emotional tragicomedies in "Color is Emptiness" have been encountered by some people to a greater or lesser extent. And the height of what the movie will be able to go depends on whether these people approve of it.
Although there is no official premiere of the movie, it does not mean that Lin Xiaozhi is indifferent to the release of his first film. The reason why he arrived at the company early in the morning was to get a few front-row movie tickets that Debao gave them to Xinya, and he had already planned to stay in the cinema on this day, enjoy his first work, and by the way, count the attendance rate and the audience's reputation.
However, he had barely grasped his hand on the doorknob of his office, and before he could open it, he heard footsteps outside the door. Opening the door, a fragrant wind hit, and the familiar aroma made Lin Xiaozhi can't help but stir his nose slightly.
Lin ...... Mr. Lin ......"
Zhou Huimin, who was about to push the door, was startled by the sudden opening of the door, seeing Lin Xiaozhi's vague movements, her face was slightly red, but she finally remembered her responsibility, and half-turned around to reveal a man behind her, and then said: "This Mr. Lin said that he was looking for you for something......
Lin Xiaozhi looked at it fixedly, and his eyes narrowed.
The person who came was Lin Jianming, the eldest son of Lin Baixin, who succeeded Lin Jianle as the new director and vice president of ATV.
