Volume 1 Chapter 413 The Sensation Caused by the Propaganda Video (Part I)
Since being acquired by Lin Xiaozhi, "Cheng Pao" has also become his official newspaper, and if there is any news gossip about him, "Cheng Pao" can always break the news one step ahead of others, and in order to take care of "Cheng Pao", the news he gives is full of topics, and it can basically arouse readers' desire to buy as soon as it comes out.
At this time, compared with the beginning of his acquisition, the long-term readership of "Cheng Pao" has increased by at least about 20%, and the gap is not big compared with "Oriental Daily".
As a result, when such a trick suddenly came up in the "Cheng Pao" on this day, it immediately attracted the curiosity of countless newspaper buyers.
"Resident Evil? Isn't this the blockbuster that Lin Xiaozhi is filming that is said to have invested more than 100 million yuan?
"I've read the novel version of "Resident Evil", it's amazing, I don't have to say the storyline, I feel much better than Ni Mad 'Wesley'......"
"Golden Harvest's listing has had an impact on Media Asia, and now there is finally a counterattack? It's just that Jiahe has been on the market for more than a week, and Media Asia has only started to make moves at this time, is it too slow? ”
"Huanya is in a mess, isn't "Resident Evil" just finished, and I heard that it is still in post-production? Now that Golden Harvest is forced to release it in advance, don't spoil an innovative movie."
On this day's "Cheng Pao", he actually gave up the entire front page of the front page and only advertised for "Resident Evil", and the industry was amazed by Lin Xiaozhi's courage at the same time, but also disagreed.
"Oriental Daily" wrote in the evening newspaper in the afternoon of the same day: "Obviously, the impact of Golden Harvest's listing has made the top management of Media Asia aware of the sense of crisis, and the North American box office of Golden Harvest's film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which has cost more than 100 million yuan, continues to soar, and it is close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars (about 86 million US dollars), although the next painting is near, but it is conservatively estimated that at the end of the North American screening, it is likely to create an amazing box office of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars (90 million US dollars). Judging from its current results, when it lands in Europe at the end of the month, it will not be difficult to surpass the previous film at the box office. There is no doubt that Golden Harvest's investment in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will bring itself at least HK$300 million in net profits. In the face of the competitive pressure of Golden Harvest, it was also a helpless move for Media Asia to release its movie "Resident Evil" with an investment of more than 100 million yuan in advance to meet the challenges of its opponents. We only hope that Media Asia will not mess with itself and make a movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan into a bad movie......"
Many media obviously have this idea, and so does Sing Tao Daily: "In response to the impact of Golden Harvest's listing, Media Asia began to make a counter-strategy. It is reported that in addition to strengthening the management of artists and waiting for the opportunity to poach Golden Harvest, Media Asia also launched the movie "Resident Evil" with an investment of more than 100 million yuan in advance, according to this newspaper, the film has just finished filming, considering that there are a lot of special effects required in the movie, the film may be difficult to complete in a short time. The fact that Media Asia is launching a movie at this time makes us wonder if this is a wrong move."
Most of the media are not optimistic about Lin Xiaozhi's sudden passage of the newspaper under his name, and he also occupies an entire front page page just to advertise the new movie. In an interview, Golden Harvest President He Guanchang was very confident, "We expect opponents, but Golden Harvest is not afraid of any challenge"
Even Zhang Jianting, the director of "Cousin, Hello Wild", who had just finished the screening at Golden Harvest Cinema and finally painted it with a box office of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, even said wildly: "Making movies is risky, not everyone has the kind of vision of Boss Zou, and if you invest more than 100 million yuan to make a movie, you are waiting to sit at home and collect money." I have read the novel version of "Resident Evil", the subject matter is not rigorous and not to mention, I insist on linking the zombies of Western films with the virus, how to sell them in Hong Kong? If the audience doesn't buy it, he will have to lose money, and it is nondescript to sell it in Europe and the United States, but it is not a matter of investing more money to make more money, and it depends on who makes it, and if it is not good, it is better to invest in making a few low-cost movies that make money."
The contempt was fully revealed, and countless media outlets were thrilled and excited.
Zhang Jianting is a well-known person in the Hong Kong film industry, but his seemingly bold but somewhat cautious temperament makes him not good in the director circle. He won several Academy Awards for Best Screenplay earlier, and personally took charge of many movies with a good reputation, Zhang Jianting naturally looked down on Lin Xiaozhi, who has been making no achievements at the Academy Awards so far.
is talented in itself, and the newly mastered "Cousin Hello Wild" not only broke the curse of the follow-up being inferior to the previous one, and the box office was millions higher than the first one, but he also beat many movies released in the same period, becoming the highest-grossing film from May to now. In addition, he recently met the daughter of Emperor boss Yang Shoucheng at a cocktail party - Yang Sinuo Zhang Guorong's ex-girlfriend), with his talent won the favor of beauties, and now he has begun to drag on his career, love and love, and he is so proud of the spring breeze that he is not afraid of offending Huanya.
Zhang Jianting opened fire with a big mouth, and sure enough, the next day, the media who were eager to have big news about the explosion every day rushed to report it, and even deeply processed Zhang Jianting's words.
"Famous directors bombard Asia, making blockbusters must lose as much as a small cost......"
"Zhang Jianting looks down on "Resident Evil", the script is not good and nondescript......"
"It is ironic that Lin Xiaozhi's new film is difficult to return to its original investment of more than 100 million yuan, and the big-mouthed talent is not afraid of the ban on Huanya and is suspected of standing in line"
As soon as these reports came out, even if he understood that many of the reports were fabricated by the media, I am afraid that they were not true, but Lin Xiaozhi couldn't help frowning. Zhang Jianting He really hasn't been in contact with it, but he knows that this person should be the No. 1 anti-mainland filmmaker with a clear position in the Hong Kong film circle, and he is also one of the first Hong Kong people to slander the mainland as locusts.
For such a person, with his current status, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it. Even if the Soviet Union collapsed, the former empire on which the sun never sets can stop the general trend of Hong Kong's return unless it is willing to accept a nuclear war. Give Beijing eye drops, in the previous life, when the mainland tested the waters and opened up Hong Kong films to the mainland, they could only choose Golden Harvest, and now that they have a closer attitude towards the mainland, they have no chance at all, and he wishes that Zou Minhuai would raise a few more directors like this.
However, Lin Xiaozhi is too lazy to deal with him, which does not mean that Huanya has no action on the reaction to the outside world.
On Monday, July 15, according to the previously formulated publicity plan, the front page of the front page of "Cheng Pao" on this day was still reserved for Media Asia to promote "Resident Evil".
And every reader who bought this issue of "Cheng Pao" was shocked, only to see that on the front page of this issue of "Cheng Pao" there is only a high-definition color photo of a blood-soaked monster that looks like it has been brutally peeled off, which is the big licker in the first part of "Resident Evil", and the corner of the picture is also accompanied by a line of small words, ""Resident Evil" is coming, hell is coming, please look forward to tomorrow"
Because it is post-processed using advanced digital 30 technology, after the 'artistic processing', the texture on the original imitation rubber jacket is more realistic, like a frog that has been brutally skinned, and the whole body looks blood-red, as if the blood flowing in every burst blood vessel can be seen.
With explosive muscles, hideous fangs, terrifying long tongue and sharp claws, and its three-point human-like and seven-point-like appearance more like a beast, this new licker that has been processed by Lin Xiaozhi's combination of 'alien shapes' and 'tyrants', will make his hands and feet cold with fright at a glance.
Sure enough, as soon as this issue of "Cheng Pao" came out, it immediately frightened many readers.
"Oh my God, this, it looks like a skinned frog, it's horrible, disgusting, it's uncomfortable."
"Is this the zombie in the "Resident Evil" movie, it looks amazing......"
"It's scary, it's bloody, how did you get it? Do you use computer special effects? 100 million investment to shoot a blockbuster is really unusual, when will the movie be released? When the time comes, be sure to buy a ticket and go over and see ......
"That's cool......"
