097【Premiere】
When Xu Ke and his girlfriend Shi Nansheng walked into the Golden Princess Theater, many people came to the cinema. The last time they went to the cinema to watch "Happy Ghost", they bought tickets by themselves, but this time Kang Jianfei directly sent an invitation to invite them.
In addition to Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng, Kang Jianfei also invited Xu Anhua, Tan Jiaming, Yan Hao, Fang Yuping, Zhang Guoming, Yu Yunhang and more than ten new people. Wave Director.
The so-called Hong Kong film new. The Wave Movement is a trend that suddenly set off by Hong Kong films in the late 70s and early 80s. A group of young directors who have returned from Europe and the United States, after several years of running-in with local TV stations in Hong Kong, suddenly broke out en masse, integrating the advanced film experience they learned from abroad with Hong Kong's local culture, and making a large number of new films that are different from old Hong Kong films.
This wave of films directly affected the development and evolution of Hong Kong films in the next 20 years.
These people, including Xu Kenei, are now in the limelight, and there is a lot of praise for them in the circle. However, most of the movies they make have a common characteristic, that is, they are not popular, so few bosses are willing to invest in making movies for them.
The reporters soon found out that there was a short continuous section of seats in the theater, all of which were new. The directors of the wave took pictures of them one after another.
"Lao Xu, I heard that you are very familiar with Kang Jianfei, what did this guy do when he invited all of us here?" Fang Yuping asked Xu Kedao, who was sitting next to him. This guy used to work as a photographer in Jiashi, and he just asked Shaw Brothers to invest in filming "Famous Sword", and invited Zheng Shaoqiu to play the leading role, and the box office was barely passable.
Xu Ke was speechless and said, "Why do any of you think that I am very familiar with Kang Jianfei?" I gave him a cameo in a movie, okay? ”
Yan Hao smiled: "It's better than us." ”
Yu Yunhang said: "Actually, his "Happy Ghost" is also a little new. The taste of the wave is very different from the shooting technique of old Hong Kong films. ”
Zhang Guoming said: "I am very interested in Kang Jianfei's upbringing. A young man who swam from the mainland. I heard that he is not yet 20 years old, and he is writing novels and making movies. actually opened his own film company, as if he was born with so many things. ”
Xu Anhua smiled: "There is a thing called talent. ”
Shi Nansheng suddenly interjected: "I want to see the real kung fu he performs later." ”
Yu Yunhang said disdainfully: "Where did you get any real kung fu?" It's just some fighting boxing. It was touted by the newspapers as if it could kill people in the air. ”
Shi Nansheng said with a smile: "I don't know how to kill people in the air, but it's true that Kang Jianfei killed two robbers with kung fu on the street." ”
Yu Yunhang pursed his lips and did not answer again.
More than 1,000 spectators who bought high-priced tickets entered one after another, and the reporters were surprised to find that the highest 50 yuan and the lowest 30 yuan premiere tickets were all sold out, and the audience seats were full.
After such a premiere, the income from ticket sales alone is 50,000 yuan! And the cost of the premiere does not require at least 200,000 as Li Maowen guessed. Because of more than two hundred media outlets. Kang Jianfei was almost invited for free, and he didn't invite any other stars for his performances before the release of the movie, and they were all employees of Oriental DreamWorks themselves.
The biggest cost of the premiere is the venue fee of more than 3,000 yuan for renting a theater......
Hong Jinbao took Lin Zhengying and others to sit down, and when he saw the more than 200 media reporters in front of him, his heart suddenly became hot, and he said to Yuan Biao: "Our "Ghost Fight" will also have a premiere! ”
Yuan Biao nodded hurriedly, he never thought about it. When a movie is released, more than 200 reporters can be gathered. If nothing else, such a spectacular scene will surely be covered in the newspapers tomorrow. As long as "Mr. Zombie" is not too badly filmed, there will definitely be many people who come to see the movie.
"Ghost Fight" was filmed very slowly because it was a psychedelic kung fu movie. It's a little different from the kung fu movies Hong Jinbao made before. And the plot has also been carefully conceived, plus Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hua have experience in filming "Mr. Zombie" with Kang Jianfei. Hong Jinbao's "Ghost Fighting Ghost" is far more well-made than in parallel time and space. At the same time, the shooting time has also increased significantly.
Judging from the current progress, it will be at least late July for the production of "Ghost Fighting" to be completed, but it will still catch up with the tail end of the summer file.
When the premiere time came, the lights below suddenly dimmed, and a beam of light led a beautiful woman with a bulging figure to the stage, but it was Pan Yingzi wearing a high-slit cheongsam.
In order to save money, Kang Jianfei didn't even bother to invite the emcee, and directly asked Pan Yingzi to go into battle.
After Pan Yingzi came on stage, she bowed downward, took the microphone and said: "Friends at the emotional scene, come to the premiere of "Mr. Zombie" in your busy schedule...... Next, I would like to invite Hong Kong's No. 1 lion dancer, Yu Yuanwen, the fairy of the Kang family class, to bring you a wonderful lion dance performance! ”
Pan Yingzi disappeared with the lights, and the "fairy" danced the lion with her partner Ye Tao in the sound of gongs and drums.
I have to admit that Yu Yuanwen's lion dance skills are really a must. Liu Jialiang's Liu family class is good at lion dance, and almost everyone can dance a few hands. But in the parallel space, after Liu Jialiang hid Yu Yuanwen in the snow for a year, because he needed a lion dancer to make a movie, he had to reactivate Yu Yuanwen, which shows how superb his lion dance level is.
Under Yu Yuanwen's control, a lion seemed to come to life, not only able to run, jump and roll like other lion dances, but even have vivid expressions such as joy, anger and sorrow, which attracted a burst of applause from the audience below.
After the lion dance program, suddenly there was another martial arts performance.
However, this performance is not ordinary, a dragon and tiger martial artist of the Kang family class suddenly flew down from the sky, and the other jumped more than a foot high, and the two actually fought with swords in the air, and they were very happy!
The martial artists of the Kang family class have just practiced the Weiya technique, which attracted the amazement of the audience.
Hong Jinbao, who was watching the show below, was speechless, and said to Yuan Biao in a low voice: "Kang Jianfei, this kid is really unprofitable, he can't afford to be early, he has a movie premiere, and he is actually advertising for his Kang family class!" ”
Yuan Biao was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Hong Jinbao meant.
The martial arts class is not raised for nothing, in addition to making movies by himself, he has to go out to pick up work in order to survive when he is free. The better the martial artist's skills, the more crews invite them to make movies, and the more prosperous this martial arts class will be.
The Kangjia class has just been created, and its name is naturally not as good as the old Fan Family Class, Liu Family Class, Hong Family Class, Yuan Family Class, and even the family class that was just created last year.
How to make a name for yourself? The first is that the movies made by Kang Jiaban are a big hit, and the second is to do publicity.
Kang Jianfei asked the martial artists of the Kang family class to perform at the premiere, firstly, it saved a lot of costs for inviting other stars, and secondly, in front of more than 200 media and many directors, he did on-site publicity for the Kang family class, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Presumably, after tonight, when some independent directors and small companies make action movies, Kang Jiaban will also become an important object of their choice.
Hong Jinbao's voice was very low, but Lin Zhengying next to him could hear it clearly, and he had a fever under his skin at the moment. Because Kang Jianfei, the Kang family class, was formed by Huang Shrimp in charge of pulling people, and Huang Shrimp was recommended to Kang Jianfei by him, Lin Zhengying felt that his move was a little inauthentic.
After the performance of the martial artists, the host of Pan Yingzi's cameo called the main creators of the crew to the stage, and Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hua also had to get up and go on stage.
In the audience, Li Saifeng and Wen Bixuan sat next to Zhao Yazhi, and when they heard Pan Yingzi invite the main creators to come to the stage, Li Saifeng immediately ran up happily, leaving Wen Bixuan sitting there with jealousy and envy.
Zhao Yazhi touched Wen Bixuan's head and comforted her like a little sister: "Next time, let your brother Ah Fei make a movie for you, and then arrange a more serious premiere for you." ”
"That's so difficult." Wen Bixuan sighed, she felt that she was not as beautiful as Li Saifeng, and she couldn't even sing or act, not to mention that Li Saifeng was still learning kung fu with Kang Jianfei. In order not to be thrown too far, Wen Bixuan has been working hard to learn to sing these days, but unfortunately his progress is still slower than Li Saifeng. It's really more popular than people!
Not far from Zhao Yazhi sat Zhong Chuhong, she was so bored sitting there alone, and when she saw Li Saifeng on stage, she hurriedly changed her seat and sat down next to Zhao Yazhi.
Zhong Chuhong has a very cheerful and generous personality, she doesn't care about people she doesn't like at all, and she will take the initiative to greet people who she thinks are pleasing to the eye. Zhong Chuhong especially likes Zhao Yazhi's work in "Shang. The Beach", sat down and greeted familiarly: "Hello Miss Zhao, my name is Zhong Chuhong!" ”
Zhao Yazhi immediately recognized Zhong Chuhong and said with a smile: "I know you, you were the fourth place of Sister Hong Kong last year, and I am also the fourth place of Sister Hong Kong." ”
When the two Hong Kong sisters communicated for the first time, Pan Yingzi on the stage had already chatted with the main creative staff, and many interesting things during the filming were exposed, which added a lot of material to the reporters present for tomorrow's report.
After chatting, Pan Yingzi suddenly said to Kang Jianfei: "Director, I remember that you seem to have promised to perform your real kung fu at the premiere. Saying that, Pan Yingzi suddenly asked the audience, "Do you want to see Director Kang's real kung fu!" ”
Many of the audience who bought tickets at the scene came to Chong Kang Jianfei's real kung fu, and at this time, there was immediately an outburst of coaxing and shouting.
Kang Jianfei got up from his chair and said very pretendedly: "I said in the newspaper early that once my kung fu is shot, it will either be dead or injured, and there is no way to talk about fighting or performing. Saying that, Kang Jianfei's tone changed, "However, I can show you two tricks." Ah Feng, you stand up! ”
"Yes, Master!" Li Saifeng stood five meters away when he heard this.
Pan Yingzi narrated and introduced: "Li Saifeng's little sister is learning kung fu from Director Kang and is his first apprentice. ”
Before the audience could guess what Kang Jianfei was going to perform, they saw Chen You take an apple and put it on top of Li Saifeng's head, and then ran away quickly.
Kang Jianfei pulled out a fruit knife, without making any fancy movements, only to see the shadow of the knife flash, and the fruit knife had been inserted into the apple above Li Saifeng's head five meters away, and the apple simply fell to the ground.
"Wow!"
The audience was shocked and in an uproar, and countless people stood up in surprise.
The reporters were inexplicably excited, thinking that with only Kang Jianfei's flying knife, they would be worthwhile. (To be continued......)
