401 [Transformation]
As soon as they entered the action scene, the audience finally found Cheng Long's style in the movie, defeating the enemy with the help of any props like juggling, and the martial arts action was hearty and extremely funny, and there was laughter in the theater.
Prayut and Binny? The two professional fighters, Yuquidez, also admired the audience for their artfully processed sharp and fast punches.
As for Sophie? Marceau's appearance is somewhat amazing, Sophie of Girls' Generation? Marceau's pure beauty is unstoppable.
The McDonald's Bear and McDonnell brothers watched the movie seriously, and after watching it for half an hour, McDonald's Bear shook his head and said: "A commercial action movie that will definitely make money, but that's all, there is no surprise like Mr. Kang's previous movies." ”
McDonald said, "No, I think this movie is good. The top actors, cinematography, recording and action design, and the plot are also very good, which is a rare good film in Hong Kong. ”
"I'm not saying that this film is bad," McDonald Bear said, "I heard that the shooting cost of "Deadly Express" is 50 million, and all aspects of the film are definitely unmatched in Hong Kong today, but it just doesn't make people shine." To put it figuratively, in the past, Mr. Kang's movies were all exquisitely conceived handicrafts, but this "Deadly Express" seems to be produced on an assembly line. ”
McDonnell laughed: "That's just your illusion, just like Mr. Kang's debut novel "Happy Ghost". When it was first filmed, it naturally made people feel amazing and gorgeous, but if you look at it now, it is just a passable campus comedy. ”
"It's not a delusion, maybe I have too high expectations for his films, so I'm a little disappointed." McDonald Bear sighed.
Compared with Wang Jing, who likes to follow the trend of fried cold rice, McDonald's movies strive to be innovative, and throughout the 80s and 90s in another time and space, McDonald's movies can often trigger trends.
But lately, McDonald Bear has been a little depressed. His studio start-up "Detective Bald Girl" only grossed about 3 million at the box office in Hong Kong, which was much lower than McDonald's expectations.
The local box office of more than 3 million yuan is not a hit for a small-budget movie, and it can make a small amount of money overseas. But for McDonald's Bear, who is ambitious to build a film empire, this is undoubtedly a blow to the head, and his unbeatable ambition has been knocked back to its original shape.
Originally, McDonald Bear was not satisfied with the film studio, and after making two sums of money by making movies, he left DreamWorks and went it alone. However, due to the poor box office performance of "Detective Bald Girl", McDonald's mind is now calm. Be prepared to rely on DreamWorks first to accumulate a little more experience and resources.
is different from McDonald's bear's scrutinizing eyes, Wang Jing, who was invited to the premiere with Xiang Huaqiang, is watching with relish.
Wang Jing's habit of watching movies is that when he watched the movie for the first time, he put aside all his thoughts and only asked for a cool word. As long as this movie makes him feel good. He will definitely watch it a few more times, and analyze what the film is about to make people happy. Then it's a matter of borrowing from it and following the trend.
"Deadly Express" made Wang Jing very cool to watch. The combination of two women and one man satisfies the taste of the public. Female audiences naturally watch Cheng Long's tricks and strong skills, while male audiences are also feasting their eyes, the royal sister Lin Qingxia and the exotic girl Sophie? Marceau, any one is enough for male audiences to appreciate and fantasize.
"Haha......"
The theater erupted in laughter again, but it was Cheng Long who hid in the antique armor of the Castel Sant'Angelo in order to avoid being pursued. Even his head was covered by a visor. The old policeman played by Charles unconsciously hides behind his armor, preparing to ambush Prayut and Binny, the two mafias, and the most popular thing is naturally a hilarious four-way brawl.
The audience was laughing. Chen Bosen didn't know how to evaluate this movie. The film is seen now, in terms of the quality of the movie, it is definitely the top commercial action movie in the world, but that's all, because of the explosions, flying cars and other elements in it, Kang Jianfei has long used it in "Royal Sister 1".
If it were to be filmed by another director to shoot "Fatal Temptation", Chen Bosen would definitely be full of praise for it. But perhaps, as McDonald Bear said, those of them who are picky about watching movies, have too high expectations for Kang Jianfei's new film, and always want to see something fresh and different.
The last "God of Gamblers" is far inferior to "Fatal Temptation" in terms of cast and camera scenes, but it subverts the concept of traditional gambling films, which still surprises Chen Bosen and others.
"Wow! That's handsome. ”
"It's too much, fly directly to the third floor of the wall!"
“……”
The parkour that appeared just before the opening finally appeared on the screen, and it can be seen that it is obviously impossible for Cheng Long to hang a tightrope, but he is very flexible to go directly from the first floor to the third floor of another building.
Everyone fought all the way from the Castel Sant'Angelo to the Roman Forum, followed by a skateboard battle, and then Cheng Long fell to the ground from a height of more than 20 meters, sitting on an advertising cloth like a slide, which was also amazing.
In the roaring applause at the scene, Chen Bosen and Shu Qi glanced at each other, they finally felt shocked, it should be that the shots just now were too thrilling, and they all sweated for Cheng Long when they watched it.
The film ended in the defeat of evil by justice, and the ordinary audience was still excitedly discussing the plot of the movie when they left the stage, while the major media and filmmakers who were invited came over to congratulate Kang Jianfei and Zou Wenhuai.
"I can't follow the trend." Wang Jing rushed to Hua Qiang and shook his head, "Although there are Lin Qingxia, Sophie Marceau, Charles and several supporting stars, as well as Prayut, Zhou Billy and Binny, but the whole film is centered on Cheng Long, if you want to follow the trend, you can only invite Cheng Long to participate." ”
Xiang Huaqiang smiled: "I don't need to make the kind of film that sells 20 million at the box office, what do you ask Cheng Long to do?" I think as long as you invite a more powerful martial arts class, you can still shoot fashion action scenes like this. ”
Wang Jing was puzzled: "I don't know how to do this kind of film." ”
Xiang Huaqiang didn't say anything, wondering if he wanted to borrow a director from DreamWorks to make a follow-up film.
"Mr. Zou, what is your box office expectation for "Deadly Express"?" After the film was screened, the reporter quickly surrounded Zou Wenhuai, Kang Jianfei and others.
Zou Wenhuai did not avoid this question, he smiled: "I am very confident in the drama directed by Mr. Kang, and Ah Long has never disappointed me, the Hong Kong box office of "Fatal Express" is at least more than 25 million." ”
"It seems that Mr. Zou, you are very confident in the new film," the reporter looked at Kang Jianfei again, "If this box office hit, will DreamWorks and Golden Harvest cooperate in making films in the future?" ”
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It depends on what Boss Zou means, our Oriental DreamWorks is an open company, and the artists of Oriental Entertainment Company are also open to all directors." As long as it is a kind and active cooperation, I will never refuse, after all, the prosperity of Hong Kong films depends on the efforts of all Hong Kong filmmakers. ”
The reporters on the other side surrounded Cheng Long, Lin Qingxia, and Sophie Marceau: "Miss Lin, how did you feel about working with Cheng Long for the first time?" ”
"This is not the first time we have worked together, we have co-produced in Taiwan before," Lin Qingxia smiled and commented: "Well, Aaron is very serious about filming, and he is very interesting to talk to, and it is a pleasure to work with him." ”
"Is there anything new in your relationship with Mr. Kang?" Another reporter asked very jumpingly.
"We're just very good friends." Lin Qingxia unconsciously showed a wry smile on her face, Kang Jianfei never mentioned the matter of marriage, and she could only drag it out. As for her mother's idea of marrying her son, there was no movement in her stomach, and Lin Qingxia even wanted to secretly go to the hospital to check if there were any fertility problems.
After being in a bad mood by the reporter, Lin Qingxia answered two more questions, then left the theater under the pretext of leaving the theater and returned to the car to wait for Kang Jian to fly out.
"What, in a bad mood?" Kang Jianfei got into the car and asked.
"Nothing." Lin Qingxia shook her head and smiled, "I just suddenly feel a little tired." ”
Kang Jianfei hugged Lin Qingxia's shoulder, held her in his arms and sniffed the fragrance in his hair, and said, "If you're tired, take a break, I'll support you if you don't film." ”
Lin Qingxia's depression in her heart was much better at this time, and she couldn't help laughing: "Who wants you to raise it." ”
To tell the truth, as a grassroots who has suffered a lot in his previous life, Kang Jianfei has never been able to change the mentality of a sling silk in the first few years after he has crossed over, and many things are being taken care of.
However, since "Home Alone" sold nearly 200 million US dollars at the global box office, plus he made a net profit of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, Kang Jianfei's mentality is slowly changing. Similarly, his attitude towards the women around him is also changing, and after making enough money, Kang Jianfei, a lonely man, also wants to enjoy his sincere feelings.
Of course, Kang Jianfei's cold-blooded temperament will not change, and his so-called sincere feelings are only sincere to women alone, while he is sincere to many women.
To put it bluntly, no matter how a bastard changes, he is a bastard, and Kang Jianfei is just a little more serious emotionally than before.
The two waited in the garage for a while, Sophie? Marceau also slipped out of the theater surrounded by reporters, and Kang Jianfei took the two beauties to have supper.
As for the release of "Deadly Express", the distribution departments of Golden Harvest and DreamWorks have handled it, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
What makes Kang Jianfei very unhappy is that Shao Yifu has been rumored to sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas for a few months, and now he is still holding it in his hand and has been bargaining with buyers. Fortunately, some time ago, the property market plummeted again, and Zhang Moren took the opportunity to choose five good locations, building three new multiplexes on Hong Kong Island and two new multiplex cinemas in Kowloon.
Five new cinemas are still under renovation. Just waiting for it to be officially put into use, Kang Jianfei will use the nine cinemas he owns to unite some cinema companies in the new era cinema chain to re-establish a cinema company that can be firmly controlled by himself. (To be continued......)
