"More funny and deeper than "Thai Embarrassment"? You're afraid you're really here to be funny. What we want is entertainment, what we want is a family movie, and we don't need you to do any depth. I can't read a masterpiece or a philosophy book for depth? It's as deep as you want. ”

"How much box office does "Thai Embarrassment" have now, do you dare to say that it is more funny than it, can you still surpass it? Not afraid of being slapped in the face in the back? ”

"Released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it's really funny! Many people are either watching the Spring Festival Gala at home, or reuniting with family or friends, who will go to the cinema to watch a movie? It seems that it is indeed a funny movie. ”

"Huang Baoqiang, Cheng He, Xiao Shenyang, Handsome Brother...... I won't say anything else, I'll just say that this configuration, isn't it a bad movie scheduled configuration? Until now, there are still directors who think that in the movie, a large number of comedians can make a good comedy movie? ”

I have to say that the last comment has the most likes, and this is also a point that Li Jingkun's fans themselves are also very suspicious of - there are really too many lessons from the past, because there are always so many producers who treat the audience as fools before.

The next day, Zhou Xingxing, who had also been in Kyoto recently, was a little surprised, because he had also seen the news about "Detective Chinatown".

"Someone would set a blockbuster movie to be released during the Spring Festival?"

Of course, there are other films scheduled during the Chinese New Year, but there are basically no blockbusters. Even if there were, the publicity would not be so great - after all, the production cost is there - and the production of low-cost works would not have much publicity expenditure.

But "Detective Chinatown" obviously does not belong to this industry, its production budget is similar to that of "Journey to the West", and the publicity is also huge.

It's not that I'm scared, it's just a little weird, and by the way, I learned more about this competitor.

"Li Jingkun? This young man is very sharp! ”

Even though Zhou Xingxing now rarely cares about who his opponent is, after learning some of Li Jingkun's deeds, he still has to think that he does have some ability.

On December 19, the ending song of the movie "Swadika" in cooperation with the Southern Expedition Group was launched.

But if you don't listen to it together with the movie, the popularity is not very great.

On December 20, the filmmaker showed the "A Good Hand" version of the teaser poster; And a "take-off" press conference was held on the tarmac of Mohongqiao Airport.

Yes, there will be more promotional tricks for "Detective Chinatown", and most of Li Jingkun will participate.

After all, unlike "Suddenly This Summer", this is a big production of hundreds of millions of dollars, and at the same time, the publicity cost is much more; He said before that he would work with "Journey to the West" to carry out a centralized and large-scale publicity for the Spring Festival stalls, fill everyone's expectations, and cultivate everyone's habit of going to the cinema during the Spring Festival.

On December 28, Zhou Xingxing, Xiang Nan, Huang Bo and others held a film press conference in Kyoto with the movie "Journey to the West", re-publicizing that the film will be screened for the first time in the coming New Year.

In fact, on the 20th of last month, Zhou Xingxing held a press conference with Wang Zhongshi, but at that time, the movie was still in the secrecy period, and many plots and information had not yet been announced, and many people didn't even know that he didn't act.

At that time, it was also said that it would be released during the Spring Festival, but no specific date was given, and everyone's attention was on the content of the movie, so the keyword "Spring Festival release" was naturally ignored.

But this time it was different, and the huge publicity campaign was about to begin, so this time I directly made a big poster that read "February 10, the first day of the Lunar New Year".

······

As soon as this news came out, those who said before that "normal people won't release movies during the Spring Festival" were a little slapped in the face.

Because it's okay to say others, say Zhou Xingxing······

Zhou Xingxing is known for being low-key and dedicated; And most of the movies he acted in and made were about the lives and fates of low-level characters, which resonated with ordinary audiences. And for decades, there has basically been no peachy news, and even now he is still a bachelor.

So if there are so many people in the entertainment industry who have almost no black fans, then Zhou Xingxing may be counted as one.

"One actor a year, a hundred years of Zhou Xingye", it's not a casual talk.

For a true master, for comedians who have influenced an era, most people still respect him very much.

So the comments of netizens have also begun to change······

"Looking forward to it! After waiting for so long, it's finally going to be released! Although I didn't go to the cinema to watch movies during the Spring Festival before, Zhou Xingxing's movies can still be watched, and other people's movies will have to be considered. ”

"Although it's a pity that it wasn't starred by the star himself, I will still support it then! February 10th, the first day of the Lunar New Year! ”

"There is another plan for the Spring Festival! Watch the star in the cinema! ”

"Xiang Nan, Huang Bo, Shu Qi! It's all actors I like very much, Mark is on! ”

·······

Of course, Li Jingkun also saw these comments and sensed the direction of the wind, but this was originally expected, no matter how confident he was, he didn't dare to say that he would compare with Zhou Xingxing······ This is the popularity and charm that have been accumulated over the decades of character and works, and others can't imitate it at all.

Even if the box office is high, I'm afraid that decades later, it will be difficult for him to be praised to such a point, right?

There are some things that ordinary people simply cannot hold on to and endure.

And the personalities are also different; wants Li Jingkun to keep a low profile, and then ensure that there will be no peachy scandals······

He could only say one thing: The concubine can't do it.

After all, it's better to be an ordinary person. There can be times of renunciation and indulgence, but he doesn't want to and doesn't dare to make a character who is dedicated to something.

There will be a thunderstorm at any time.

On January 1, 2013, "Thai Embarrassment", which was released for 21 days, had a cumulative box office of more than 1 billion yuan and the number of moviegoers exceeded 31 million, setting a record for the cumulative box office and moviegoers of domestic films. It has also become the first domestic film in China with a box office exceeding 1 billion!

But it clearly hasn't stopped yet.

Domestic films have also begun to enter the era of 1 billion box office!

The number of domestic theaters and the national movie-watching boom have reached an unprecedented height; And it's not the end yet.

On January 3, 2013, the filmmaker of "Detective Chinatown" released the trailer of the "Seven Deadly Sins" version.

On January 6, 2013, the movie "Detective Chinatown" held a launch conference on the Minsk supercarrier in Pengcheng. On the same day, the promotional song "The Past Can Only Be Recalled" was announced, and the "Four Happiness Version" theme poster was released.

On January 10, 2013, Chongqing started the first roadshow.

·····

What does it mean to be so powerful?

That's the momentum!

Propaganda is up! Don't stop!

When roadshows and promotional activities, the most popular ones are Huang Baoqiang and Li Jingkun, followed by Gao Meiyuan; Of course, there are many people who know Xiao Shenyang. Cheng He, Xiao Yang, Brother Yingjun and others again. Therefore, the cards of "Detective Chinatown" are still quite large.

Bai Jingting is a newcomer, but he is good-looking, and he is still one of the protagonists, and his popularity is slowly rising, and the number of fans around the neck is slowly rising every day.

The biggest name in "Journey to the West" is, of course, Zhou Xingxing himself, and then several leading actors are also big-name stars.

But "Detective Chinatown" also has a lot of advantages, and the biggest advantage at present is Huang Baoqiang. After all, "Thai Embarrassment" is so popular, so everyone's expectations for him are quite big. In addition, it was released during the Spring Festival, and during the Chinese New Year, everyone must want to watch a family carnival work. Huang Baoqiang is such a guarantee, so this is also borrowing the momentum of "Thai Embarrassment".

Then there is Li Jingkun, the success of several consecutive works has left a good reputation in the minds of many people, so this movie is also one of the must-see works for many people.

Li Jingkun's movie works after a year and a half, how can you miss it!

Gao Meiyuan has also released another work since "Introduction to Architecture", but the reputation is average and the box office is average; But the beauty is still there, so the audience will also look forward to her performance in the movie.

However, during the Spring Festival this year, there were two blockbusters released on the first day of the Lunar New Year at the same time, so they must be compared together. As a result, the result of the evolution in the end is to ask netizens to stand in line.

This is definitely not what Li Jingkun wants to see, of course they want to rub the popularity of "Journey to the West", but it is not such a rubbing method. Because if you compare them with Zhou Xingxing, they will definitely be the losing party at present.

Someone even got a poll saying which movie would you watch on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Of course, "Journey to the West" is the most popular, and "Detective Chinatown", which ranks second, is a lot worse.

"I feel that "Detective Chinatown" is rubbing the popularity of Zhou Xingxing, others are scheduled for the Spring Festival, and they are also scheduled for the Spring Festival."

""Detective Chinatown" was announced to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year earlier than "Journey to the West", right?"

""Journey to the West" announced that it will be set for the Spring Festival in November, right? Even if it wasn't said at the time, it was on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but how many days is the Spring Festival? And they are all insiders, and Zhou Xingxing's side definitely didn't decide on December 28, but the date was officially announced on the 28th. "Detective Chinatown" must have known about it in advance, so it deliberately made the press conference a few days in advance. ”

"To be fair, I love both directors and I'm looking forward to both films. But seeing so many people stepping on Li Jingkun in order to support Zhou Xingxing, I don't think it's necessary. Li Jingkun announced during the Spring Festival in 2012 that he would start filming "Detective Chinatown", and now it has lasted a year, and it will be released during the 2013 Spring Festival, so it is not considered to rub anyone's popularity, right? ”

"Insiders, when "Detective Chinatown" didn't start filming, it was decided to release it in the Chinese New Year. Li Jingkun himself said it, and many people in Huaying and Perfect Planet know it. ”

"Hehe, just open your mouth and come, you can prove that you are an insider by saying a casual word?"

To be honest, Zhou Xingxing is indeed worthy of the admiration and love of the Chinese, but many fans are obsessed with the transition, and it is easy to recruit black for the celebrities themselves.

That is, some fans worship the transition and tout the transition.

However, this phenomenon is common to many celebrities and celebrities, including Li Jingkun, of course; Including the fans of Brother Zhang and Principal Tan in the past, it has developed to the extent that it has become abusing and attacking each other in the future.

So these two movies have been so heavily promoted recently, which has also led to a lot of conflict between their respective fans.

Later, Wang Zhongshi also called Li Jingkun to understand each other's attitudes.

Zhongyi is a partner of "Journey to the West", and Wang Zhongshi is also one of the filmmakers, and has occasionally participated in the promotion of the film recently.

"Definitely not, Mr. Wang, I wonder if there is anyone on your side to guide you...... It is estimated that it is the behavior of netizens or the media, after all, if there is a conflict, there will be a highlight, and if there is a highlight, there will be traffic. You have also seen some of the plans for the project "Detective Chinatown" before, and you should also know that we originally wanted to release it in the Chinese New Year. ”

Wang Zhongshi chatted with Li Jingkun for a while, and realized that the other party should just be normal propaganda; There shouldn't be many people who will compare the number of fans with Zhou Xingxing, right?

Even if there is a comparison, there is no need to create such a situation.

Li Jingkun said: "Since it is fate, malicious competition is not necessary, and it is a serious thing to make the Spring Festival cake bigger and stronger." ”

Wang Zhongshi said: "You have a lot of confidence? Aren't you afraid of last week's stars? ”

"I'm afraid that I'm definitely a little scared, but if there is any way, I am optimistic about my movie and this schedule, so I can only do my best to promote and do things."

"You're optimistic about this schedule too?"

"Of course, don't you also think this schedule is good?"

Wang Zhongshi was silent for a while, and then the two chatted briefly before hanging up the phone.

However, it was only after hanging up the phone that Li Jingkun felt a little strange, didn't Wang Zhongshi think that the Spring Festival was a good schedule?

That's why he promised that if "Journey to the West" can exceed 500 million, he will pay Zhou Xingxing another dividend of more than 80 million?

Because he thinks that the movie Zhou Xingxing did not participate, the box office will not be so high?

Li Jingkun didn't understand it, but this matter had nothing to do with him, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore.

At the moment, it must be your own film that is the most important.

At the beginning of February, the premiere of "Journey to the West" was held first, and Zhou Xingxing himself often had to run several theaters to do activities.

Of course, "Detective Chinatown" can't lose to them, and there are a lot of trips every day.

Their premiere is scheduled to be held on February 6, the venue and plans have been arranged, and some celebrity friends have been notified in advance to support them when they are free.

He also gave each actor a "task", everyone invited at least one or two friends in the circle to come, and the bigger the coffee, the better.

After all, this is his movie, and it is not the same as their work?

"Bao Qiang, does Director Yu Zhengxu have a chance to invite him?"

Recently, he and the main creators must have met often, after all, the publicity activities have not stopped.

"Thai Embarrassment" is currently the No. 1 domestic film at the box office, and the sensational effect has not yet decreased, if he can come, he can bring a lot of attention to "Detective Chinatown" - although it has been a lot of popularity before.

"It's a bit tricky...... It's not that he won't come, it's that lately, we've had a bit of an awkward relationship. Huang Baoqiang was a little embarrassed, he must have been a little unbalanced in his own heart, because he didn't know that Huang Bo's salary was converted into a red before.

But more importantly, because of this, he was inevitably scolded by his wife several times a while ago, and even his agent talked about him, so he is in a complicated mood now and doesn't want to talk about it at all. It's impossible to ask him to help with his new movie.

As for Huang Bo, it is even more impossible, one is that he is also a party, and the other is that they are now competitors, as one of the leading actors of "Journey to the West", how can he come over to give "Detective Chinatown" a platform now.

"Is my sister-in-law angry?" Li Jingkun said.

"Hey, she's like that, I can't talk about her." Huang Baoqiang said.

"This kind of thing is not what you want, who could have known that "Thai Embarrassment" could become like this before it was released?"

"That's right, and Bo Ge definitely didn't expect him to get so many dividends...... Hey, it's all over, don't mention it. ”

And just when he kept inviting friends to come and help, he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to ask him if he could also come and participate.

On this day, I suddenly received a message from Liu Tianxian, she said: "I heard that your movie will have a premiere on February 6, can I go?" Welcome? ”

Ye Gucheng and the West Gate blow the wind, the top of the Forbidden City, before and after the decisive battle.

I like Gu Long very much.,Originally, the title wanted to write directly "Before and After the Decisive Battle".,In the end, I'm afraid that everyone will think I've sent the wrong chapter.,So I wrote this.。

The next chapter will be updated soon.
