"Tut-tut, the artists on the wireless station are really unlucky, Liu Dehua is so popular that he will be banned." Weng Meiling nestled in the sofa and looked at the newspaper and sighed.

Wang Guxian raised his eyebrows in a small mirror and said, "What's so strange, there are more people banned by our brokerage company here." ”

Weng Meiling looked at Wang Guxian in surprise: "Has anyone been banned?" I don't know how to do it. ”

Wang Guxian closed the small mirror and said: "You forget, Taiwan banned the Eastern Group at the beginning, and as a result, many artists were scared to jump ship. Some people want to change jobs but end up not jumping because the liquidated damages are too high, some of those actors are newcomers that the company is ready to support, but because of the job-hopping incident, they can only play tricks now, not to mention that they can't make money because they are tired and tired, and they can't enter other companies because they signed a long-term contract. ”

"You're right, it seems that the world is as black as a crow, and there is no good person who is the boss," Weng Meiling said and smiled ambiguously at Wang Guxian, "By the way, I heard that you have been very close to Mr. Kang recently, have you been ...... Uh-huh, you know! ”

"Not really!" Wang Guxian's cheeks were slightly feverish, but he didn't show anything unusual. In fact, Kang Jianfei has already bought her a villa on Jardine's Hill Road, but Wang Guxian usually lives in the staff apartment in the film and television city, and she doesn't want to be pointed at as a canary.

In order to divert Weng Meiling's attention, Wang Guxian changed the topic and said: "I heard that the program you hosted has high ratings, and you will become a big star in the future, don't forget your old friends." ”

Weng Meiling glanced at Wang Guxian and said, "Are you mocking me?" My show has high ratings. It's just a host, how can you, the 'flying girl', have weight? ”

Wang Guxian smiled embarrassedly and said, "Tomorrow I will go back to Taiwan for the New Year." Let's go shopping on Hong Kong Island in the afternoon. ”

"You're idle, I'm the host, and I still have to record the show during the Chinese New Year," Weng Meiling complained and said, "Just go and watch the "A Chinese Ghost Story" you played, I don't even know what Lu Dao will look like." ”

"Okay. I was just thinking about checking it out. "Wang Guxian has only seen the content of the film in the post-recording, and he has really never seen the full version of the theater.

The two beauties had lunch and drove out. I thought there were very few people watching movies in broad daylight. Who knew that there were many people at the ticket window of Ludao Road, although they only waited in line for a few minutes to buy tickets, but they still made Weng Meiling and Wang Guxian feel the popularity of this movie.

"Wang Guxian!"

The two had just bought tickets and were about to enter the venue, when suddenly a shout sounded in front of them. After Wang Guxian, who was wearing a scarf and a hat, was recognized. was surrounded by fans in an instant.

When he heard countless people shouting "Xiaoxian" and "Xiaoqian" and asking her for autographs, Wang Guxian realized that he seemed to have become a big star.

……

Just when Wang Guxian was struggling to deal with fans, Huang Baiming also quietly walked into a screening room of the Oriental Cinema Line, and sat in the corner ready to "enjoy" the opponent's new film.

Xinyicheng's "Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman" received a very good response after its release, although many critics criticized it for its old-fashioned jokes, but it was better than the first two "Best Partner" premiere box office results. Second only to the first part of "Best Partner".

But even so, "Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman" was still crushed by "A Chinese Ghost Story" at the box office. If you want to figure out Huang Baiming, who lost there, I quietly came to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" today.

"Haha......"

At the beginning of the film, there is a plot of a female ghost seducing a scholar, but when the scholar shows his face and receives a bento burp in less than a minute, many viewers can't help but laugh.

Although he has not appeared in a movie in person for several years, his photos are often in newspapers and magazines, and the Hong Kong people are no strangers to his appearance, so he is recognized by the audience as soon as he shows his face.

Huang Baiming didn't laugh, because he couldn't laugh, as a professional producer, judging from the opening shots, art and music, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is definitely a sophisticated top production. In comparison, "Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman", which was filmed in order to rush for time, is much rougher in some details.

It didn't take long for there to be bursts of laughter, and Ning Caichen played by Zhang Guorong appeared in this singing and laughter, and his embarrassment and cute appearance all the way made the audience laugh.

Huang Baiming looked at it but was surprised, Zhang Guorong in "The True Color of Heroes" two years ago was still very young in acting, but in this "A Chinese Ghost Story", it is obvious that his acting skills have exploded, and all kinds of performance details have been done very well and successfully.

From the murder in the roadside pergola to the wanted warrant in Guobei County, the scenes of ridiculous plots are very direct and clear for the audience to outline a troubled world with a life like a mustard.

"Wow!"

"Pretty girl!"

"Wang Guxian's costume is so beautiful, better than Li Saifeng's appearance in "Shu Mountain"."

"Such a beautiful female ghost, she is willing to suck me to death."

“……”

As soon as Wang Guxian's white-clothed female ghost appeared, it immediately attracted a burst of exclamation and praise in the screening hall, but Huang Baiming felt a little cold in his heart. He finally found the real reason for the box office success of "A Chinese Ghost Story", not to mention anything else, only Wang Guxian's female ghost can attract countless male audiences, not to mention that there is a cute and handsome scholar Zhang Guorong, this movie is simply a killing of both men and women.

As for the sophisticated special effects and wonderful martial arts scenes, on the contrary, it is still secondary, and the biggest selling point of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not here.

In this issue of "Film Fortnightly", "Shushan" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" were evaluated: ""Shushan" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are both produced by DreamWorks, and they are both costume special effects films with ghost mythology, but the characteristics between the two are very different.

Every shot of "Shushan" is very chic and wonderful, and every picture is amazingly beautiful, which makes people can't bear to travel to Jiuzhaigou, Huangshan, and Zhangjiajie after watching the movie. And its special effects production belongs to the international top level, which can be called the Chinese version of "Star Wars".

But the biggest problem with "Shushan" is also here, there are too many things to show, gorgeous fights, sophisticated special effects and pleasing natural landscapes, these things have filled the movie to the full, and there is no extra space for director Xu Ke to play to his heart's content.

This is not the case with "A Chinese Ghost Story", its special effects team is responsible for the special effects stunt company of Oriental Film, and the investment in special effects is less than one-tenth of that of "Shushan". At the same time, its exterior was filmed on Lantau Island, and it did not run nationwide in the mainland like "Shushan", and the selling point of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was elsewhere.

If you look closely, you will find that every shot of "A Chinese Ghost Story" exudes strong self-confidence, Kang Jianfei puts his own will above all kinds of technical means, the lens language is full, abundant, pure and powerful, only three or two scenes, three or five sentences of hurriedly explained in the small environment, as if forming a world that is inseparable from people and ghosts, so that the audience is immersed in the love-hate entanglement between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, charmed and moved, and has no time to care about anything else.

If "Shu Mountain" is a large-scale oil painting with strong ink and color, then "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a splashed ink landscape sketch by Kang Jianfei......"

Kang Jianfei dared to swear that apart from giving a few movie tickets to "Film Fortnightly", he really didn't spend money to ask them to say good things this time. But Chen Bosen spontaneously wrote a film review to praise "A Chinese Ghost Story", obviously this guy didn't like it well after watching the movie, and Wen Qing committed the second illness again.

In another time and space, although the 87 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" received rave reviews, the box office in Hong Kong was only 18.83 million, ranking 15th in the annual box office list. On the contrary, it is crazy to sell in South Korea, where a whole generation of people are phoenixes for Zhang Guorong and Wang Guxian, and the second big box office market is in Japan and Taiwan.

The reason why the original "A Chinese Ghost Story" did not reach 20 million at the box office was not because this movie was not popular, but because of bad luck and too many fierce movies.

In the summer of 1987, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was screened at the same time as "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Oriental Condor", and "Jianghu Dragon and Tiger Fight", "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "Jianghu Dragon and Tiger Fight" are both starring Zhou Yanfa, who is red and purple, "Oriental Condor" is a big cast created by Hong Jinbao with huge investment, Zhang Guorong and Wang Guxian can only be regarded as newcomers in the film industry, and their box office ability to attract money is far less than that of Zhou Yanfa, Zhong Chuhong and Hong Jinbao and others.

Then Golden Harvest was released by Cheng Long's "A Plan and Lu Plan Sequel", and Princess Jin decisively asked "A Chinese Ghost Story" to be released and replaced with Zeng Zhiwei's "Happy Don't Speak" and another movie to deal with the battle, so the release time of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was only 3 weeks.

After 3 weeks of release, and at the same time, there are three more blockbuster films to compete, and because of the release of another blockbuster, the painting was drawn in advance, and in this case, it can still rank 15th in the annual box office list, which is enough to show the power of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

When Kang Jianfei came here, there were no such problems at all, because of Kang Jianfei's directorial appeal, and Zhang Guorong became popular several years in advance, he was completely able to bring Wang Guxian, a newcomer.

What's more, the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can also take advantage of the hot sale of "Shushan" to attract audiences, and it is difficult to think of a bad box office.

Sometimes, a rookie director makes a blockbuster film with great potential, but because of fame, publicity, and film scheduling problems, the film sells out at the box office. The famous directors and actors are different, even if it is a bad movie, the publicity and film scheduling can make a lot of money at the box office.

This is the snowball effect brought about by fame, and Kang Jianfei's snowball has rolled big enough.

The original version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", which only had a box office of 18.83 million, in the hands of Kang Jianfei, reached a terrifying 6.27 million at the box office three days before the premiere, with an average daily box office of more than 2 million, which simply made those small companies with an average box office of only a few million want to cry without tears and their eyes are red to death. (To be continued......)

PS: The evaluation of "After the End" on the Internet is so polarized, some are too lazy to die, and some regard it as a god film.

I have to say that the urine of "After the End" is really not suitable for the atmosphere of the theater, and it is more suitable for a person to slowly taste it on a mobile phone or computer. The two girls Lao Wang knew said that "After the End" was ugly, and one of them actually fell asleep watching it, but they watched "Small Times 3" with relish.
