Chapter 120: The Rise of Word of Mouth
"I will follow the publicity activities in Beijing in the next two days, and I will not go to the publicity of Feimodu, Yangcheng, Goose City and Chengdu from the day after tomorrow, and "Inception" will start shooting immediately after the year, this project is very important to me and the company, and I want to transfer all my energy to this movie."
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will lead the team to do a good job of publicity."
"Hmm."
Li Mu explained the work arrangement to Shen Junsheng as he walked.
Before the official end of the premiere, Li Mu, Shen Junsheng and others stepped forward to greet Han Han, Zhou Limin and others, and then the ceremony officially ended, and the main creators left Wanda Cinema.
"Director Lee......
Gao Yuanyuan suddenly grabbed Li Mu's arm and said.
Li Mu followed her worried gaze and saw that seven or eight meters in front of her, a group of young men from Wuyang and Wuyang were walking towards her, and Li Mu noticed that each of these people was holding something in their hands.
Seeing this, the security guards in the theater also nervously greeted them, and at the same time, Shen Teng, Huang Bo, and Shen Junsheng all took a step forward to block Li Mu and Gao Yuanyuan.
"Here!"
The crowd was excited.
"Director Li, Shen Teng, Huang Bo, and Sister Yuanyuan, can you sign for us?"
It turned out to be signed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Teng shouted, "I remember that you all seem to be audience members of the premiere, right? If you want to sign it, you don't have to go outside, and if you don't speak, I thought the big brothers had arrived."
One of the leaders of the group laughed, "We're out to buy soap."
As he spoke, a few people raised the soap in their hands and smiled, "I think it would be more commemorative to write your signature on the soap."
It turned out that the dozen or so people were holding fresh, unopened soap in their hands.
A guy took a few steps forward and handed the soap to Li Mu, and Gao Yuanyuan had to let go of Li Mu's arm at this time.
"What to write?"
Li Mu picked up the pen and asked.
"Just write 'Soapy Trick Zhang Xiaoqiang', and then write Director Li's own name."
Li Mu was just about to start writing, but the man who spoke hurriedly explained:
"It's 'soap slippery', soap is soap's soap, slip is slippery pulley, 'soap slips make people'!"
"Huh?"
"That's right, 'Soap Slippery', isn't this movie about a series of stories triggered by stepping on soap and falling?"
"That's right." Li Mu brushed the brush and wrote on the soap box: "Soap slippery people, Zhang Xiaoqiang, Li Mu."
Immediately afterwards, this group of people surrounded Huang Bo, Shen Teng, Shen Junsheng, Gao Yuanyuan and others, and then the main creators laughed while following the requirements, and wrote the words soap slippery person so-and-so on the soap, and the scene was very funny for a while.
The reporters at the premiere took just the right picture of this funny scene.
When he got home, it was already 11:30 at night, and Li Mu took a bath and rested directly. I got up early the next day, washed up quickly, and had a simple breakfast, and then drove to meet the crew, and then started today's publicity campaign.
At the same time, countless netizens across the country are struggling with which movie they want to watch, and the entire Internet is full of netizens arguing.
"The movie review of Zhou Limin's "How to Steal the Key" has been posted, and it is hahaha and humble, I guess the film is not bad."
"The scripts written by Li Mu himself, the actors he selected, and the movies he supervised by himself, the lower limit must be guaranteed."
"I'll leave it here first, stealing the key is definitely good, but the most worthwhile thing to watch has to be "The King of Kung Fu"! Cheng Long + Li Lian, that's enough, Cheng Long + Li Lianjie + Liu Yifei + Fan Binbin - this is too TM value!"
"Zhou Xingzhi's "Kung Fu" God TM classic, I watched it no less than ten times a year! If it's boring, you can watch it, and if you're bored, you can see it every time, and you can see it no matter where you start looking. Every frame is a classic, and no shot is superfluous. Zhou Xingzhi's directing skills are as high as several floors! "Yangtze River No. 7" has ninety percent of "Kung Fu".
's skills, I have to take out a loan to buy a ticket!"
"Kung Fu" is indeed a classic, "Chartered wife, why is there no water all of a sudden?" How's that, do you have that image of your ass in your head? What do you mean by classics? It's called a classic! This year's Spring Festival file must watch "Yangtze River No. 7"!"
"The world's martial arts are unbreakable, only fast and unbreakable." The fire cloud evil god takes the bullet empty-handed, and it explodes! Make movies, I believe in Xingye."
"In fact, Li Mu's movies are also very awesome - "Hurricane Rescue", "Assassin", "Super Body", but this time the key theft was not directed by him himself after all. There is still a gap between him writing the script and directing it himself, "Master of Hypnosis" is a qualified small-budget movie, but it is not very amazing, and it is estimated that "The Method of Stealing the Key" is similar."
"There are a total of three blockbusters in the Spring Festival, if you only choose one of them, it will be "The King of Kung Fu"; If you want to choose two, then "The King of Kung Fu" + "Yangtze River No. 7".
"It's similar to what I thought, but the order of the first and second should be reversed - if you only watch one, it will be "Yangtze River No. 7"; If you only watch two films, you will be "Yangtze River No. 7" + "The King of Kung Fu".
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait and see who has a better reputation between "Yangtze River No. 7" and "The King of Kung Fu"."
"As I thought, I'll wait for the Douban score to come out and then decide which one to watch, whether to watch Xing Ye or Cheng Long Li Lian? Word of mouth is everything!"
"The Douban score should be fast, right? I guess I'll be out in the afternoon!"
"I said, Han Han just posted a movie review! Have you seen it? It seems that Han Han admires "The Method of Stealing the Key" very much, and I want to buy a ticket a little bit."
"I don't like Han Han, but looking at his previous articles commenting on movies, I feel that it is still very reliable, and many of the opinions he said are very similar to mine."
"Yes, I'll also go and see what Han Han is talking about!"
At 8:15 a.m. on February 1, 2008, Han Han posted on his personal blog a review he wrote for the movie "How to Steal the Key":
["The Way to Steal the Key", a "King of Comedy" created by a science fiction master.] 】
"I just finished reading "The Method of Stealing the Key", unexpectedly, surprised, praised, decided to brush it twice, highly recommended. Out of 10, I'll give it 9.5. In the film, in order to get through in front of the real gangsters, the protagonist has to play the role of a good killer with his "lifelong acting skills", which is quite a bit of Yin Tianqiu in Xingye's "The King of Comedy".
"I have a high tolerance for comedy, and I often have embarrassing situations where I don't laugh at the end of a so-called comedy after watching it. But this movie made me laugh from beginning to end. The nonsensical performance style can only be performed by the star master himself, which makes people never get tired of watching it, and others can't learn it."
"'The Way to Steal the Key' is not a typical nonsensical comedy, but it is quite the essence of Stephen Chow's comedy. Zhou Xingzhi's comedies are essentially dramas, and it is only because the story itself is witty enough that Xing Ye's serious performances can often get the greatest comedic effect."
"Xing Ye has always acted in a drama, but after the filming, we people thought it was funny. In "The Way to Steal the Key", Shen Teng and Huang Bo acted in a serious drama, but unexpectedly achieved top-notch comedy effects."
"The first time I noticed Shen Teng, an actor, this person seems to be born with a sense of joy, not laughing and complacent, not making trouble, happy and hurtful, and has a bright future, if there is a continuous good script in the future, it may not be impossible to become a new generation of comedy kings after Xing Ye."
"The Way to Steal the Key" is a "King of Comedy" created by Li Mu, the top science fiction master in China, and coincidentally, this time the king of comedy Zhou Xingzhi also made a sci-fi "Yangtze River No. 7", and the film review about "Yangtze River No. 7" came out at noon."
At this time, Han Han's influence was still very powerful, so as soon as his film review came out, it immediately caused a lot of repercussions, and netizens expressed that they wanted to watch "How to Steal the Key", but some people also raised sharp questions about Han Han.
"I'm rubbing, the king of comedy created by science fiction masters? That's too high, isn't it?! Did Han Han really confiscate the money this time?"
"9.5 out of 10? If you give seven or eight points, maybe you can pay it back
It can fool two people."
"It's rare for Han Han to respect a movie so much!"
"I kind of want to see it, it should feel good."
"Han Han also wants face, since he dares to comment that this movie is worth 9.5 points, then at least 8.5 points is still available."
"I originally wanted to watch two movies, but after reading this movie review, I suddenly felt that I might have to watch three."
"Yes, yes, the description of Xingye's comedy won my heart, and I decided to buy a ticket."
"Believe in Li Mu, believe in Han Han."
"Buy a ticket, buy a ticket! The Spring Festival file is really interesting, I feel like I can watch all three movies!"
