Chapter 43: Preview Screening
September 19 was just an ordinary day, but it was a day when almost all entertainment newspapers were occupied by a single piece of news.
"Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao teamed up to create "Five Lucky Stars", which is hilarious!"
"What! "Clever Tricks and Five Lucky Stars" was released in advance!" Lu Xuejun got the news and almost dropped the purple clay pot in his hand.
"Five Lucky Stars" started filming half a year ago, and the media reported it continuously, and the audience has been looking forward to it for a long time, and now it will be released more than a month earlier than expected, and the audience will only be happy, and there is no situation where the publicity is not strong and affects the box office.
Now in addition to Chen Peisi's comedy that can compete with one or two, the two brothers Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao have become a nightmare for almost all directors, and almost none of the films on the same schedule as them have been spared.
However, Lu Xuejun also felt strange that although Cheng Long's films were strong, the distribution channels were not very good, because Jiahe, where they were located, had only barely become a second-tier film and television company with the rise of Cheng Long in the past two years.
The king of kung fu in this world, Bruce Lee, was affected by the butterfly effect and did not appear, so Jiahe failed to rise in the seventies, and even his founder Zhou Wenhuai resigned from Shaw Brothers in the eighties to start his own film company.
So after more than ten years of development, it has always been a third-rate film company, but after all, Zhou Wenhuai has an extraordinary vision for people, and has successively excavated stars such as Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and directors such as Wu Siyuan, which have been in the limelight in recent years.
But after all, he started late, and he didn't have his own theater, and distribution has always been his shortcoming, so it will cause the embarrassing situation that the production of "Five Lucky Stars" will be completed but it will not be released until three months later.
However, now that "The Five Lucky Stars" was released ahead of schedule, and the main theater chain was Huanyu Studios, which was too intriguing, and with Lu Xuejun's status in the circle, he didn't receive any news in advance, he couldn't help but feel a chill behind him, which must be pushed by predators behind him.
Lu Xuejun looked at the name of the premiere theater of "Five Lucky Stars", and the next in line was Galaxy Cinemas, he was a little confused, "Genius Gunman" Galaxy Video accounted for forty percent of the investment.
。。。。
"Dad, what do you mean by this?" Li Xingyun was also puzzled, and was so angry that he spoke to his father in a somewhat questioning tone.
"Xingyun, the most important thing for you as a girl is to marry Jing Mu as soon as possible, teach your husband and children at home, and the company's affairs are with me and your brother. Li Changfeng, chairman of Galaxy Group, said slowly.
"Just Li Dandan's waste?" Li Xingyun said disdainfully.
Li Changfeng shook his head and smiled: "Your younger brother has grown up, don't always call him by his nickname, in fact, he is still quite capable, this time Fuxing This film was introduced by him." ”
"I started Galaxy Video single-handedly, and now I finally invested in a film with potential, but you are now fighting with us in Cheng Long's film?"
Li Xingyun said that tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, Li Changfeng has been so eccentric since he was a child, and the grievances that have been suppressed in his heart for many years suddenly broke out.
"Fuxing Gaozhao is estimated to bring no less than 70 million income to Xinghe, do you think the income from the film you invested in can be so much?"
It is naturally impossible for a film to have such a high income based on box office revenue alone, but the audience attracted by popular films to eat and drink in the cinema brings no less income than the film itself, for example, just a thirty popcorn, the net profit of the cinema will not be less than fifteen, and a thirty movie ticket is not so much money.
Li Xingyun's mouth moved but she didn't speak, she didn't think that the appeal of Yingshuai's film could confront Cheng Long, but she was cheated like this, she was a little unwilling, and she was so angry that she slammed the door and left.
。。。。
Today is Friday, the office workers who have been busy for a week have started a beautiful weekend mode, Wang Tiansheng is a very ordinary little white-collar worker in Yanjing, Yanjing's high housing prices made him extinguish the idea of settling down early, so he bought a ninety-square-meter mansion in Hejian Mansion around Yanjing, and ninety square meters in Xiangjiang is not a thousand-square-foot mansion.
He started early, and the housing prices in Hejian have not been speculated, so he is lucky not to become a house slave.
There is no hope of settling down in Yanjing, and he doesn't have to bear the pressure of a high mortgage, his small life is quite leisurely, and he and his girlfriend Xiaoli also enjoy this kind of life, so there are all kinds of waves on weekends.
On Friday nights, as usual, I watched a movie before catching the last bus back to my home in Riverhouse.
"I want to watch this, Brother Long's "Five Lucky Stars"!" Xiaoli excitedly took a selfie in front of the poster of "Five Lucky Stars".
Cheng Long seems to have made a few cameos in it. Wang Tiansheng couldn't help but secretly put down the knife in the face of an imaginary love rival.
"Oh, yes, I don't care, I want to see Cheng Long anyway!" Xiaoli pouted and didn't give up.
"Okay, okay. Wang Tiansheng had no choice but to surrender, in fact, he himself loves to watch Cheng Long-style funny fight movies, at least relaxed, he is already so tired from work, of course he has to choose a relaxed movie.
"Buy two seven-point copies of the Five Lucky Stars. ”
"I'm sorry no. ”
"What about eight?"
"No more. ”
"What time are the tickets?"
"There are only three tickets left for the midnight show, do you want them, sir?"
Wang Tiansheng looked at Xiaoli, Xiaoli looked regretful, after watching the midnight show, she would have to sleep in Yanjing, of course, this is an absolutely impossible option.
"So what other films can you choose?"
""Genius Gunman" is also a new film that has just been released. ”
On the big screen above the ticket window, a promotional video edited by Yingshuai himself is playing, and although Fang Xinghe, as a shareholder, is also promoting "Five Lucky Stars", he also has a lot of recommendations for the films he invests in.
At the beginning of the film, Xiao Lin's infinitely extended effect on the two mirrors flashed, followed by a chase scene in which Xiao Lin was chased by the invigilator in the subway at the end.
"Isn't this propaganda a youth film? Why is the rhythm so tense, it seems to be good. Wang Tiansheng stared at the screen for a long time and was reluctant to leave.
"Alright then, two at seven. Wang Tiansheng secretly thought that it would be impossible to come for nothing, but "Genius Gunman" has been promoted a lot recently, and it is not bad to watch the promotional video.
The two walked into the screening hall with tickets, the attendance rate was actually good, and the audience was already full of six or seven percent of the seats, but listening to the conversation of the people around them, the two looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that they didn't buy tickets like themselves, who called "Lucky Star Gaozhao" has just been released, and there are no other films worth watching in the past two days.
Not long after Wang Tiansheng found a seat and sat down, the surroundings darkened, the screen slowly lit up, and "Genius Gunman" officially began to be screened.
