Chapter 274: The Storm Dominates the World
At twelve o'clock at noon, "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" held a grand premiere at Yonggao Cinemas.
In the past two years, Chen Qiming has not been in vain in the circle.
This premiere can be called extremely large-scale.
Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Wang Zuxian, Maggie Cheung, who has announced his retirement, and even Jackie Chan, who also has a movie released in the Chinese New Year, were present.
The huge lineup of supporters naturally made the media and newspapers very excited.
A number of media outlets in Hong Kong and Taiwan have sent reporters to the scene to conduct interviews.
In terms of film critics, almost all of Hong Kong's famous film critics were also present.
The premiere process is no different from previous films, first the director comes to the stage to talk about the filming process of the film.
Then came the actors.
The actors came on stage for one purpose, that is, to blow the movie vigorously if they were unpopular, and to call on fans to come to watch the movie.
In terms of lineup, the popular actors in the play "Fengyun" are very strong.
There is Chen Qiming in the front, and there are Dawn and Takeshi Kaneshiro in the back.
Especially Liming, don't underestimate his popularity in Hong Kong.
As one of the most popular of the Four Heavenly Kings in Hong Kong, he is definitely one of the important box office dependents of this movie.
Although Fengyun's publicity focus is mainly on Chen Qiming, in terms of the role in the play and in terms of coffee position, Chen Qiming and Liming are comparable
Oh, and Takeshi Kaneshiro.
Although in terms of coffee position and role positioning, he can only be regarded as a supporting role.
But who made him have a good relationship with Chen Qiming!
Therefore, when they go on stage to speak, the three of them go on stage together.
And when Chen Qiming, the three recognized male gods in the entertainment industry, came to power.
Good guys, the reporters in the audience immediately stood up and began to interview and question.
"Chen Qiming, do you have any predictions about the box office of this drama? At present, the attendance rate of "God of Gamblers 2" is very high, and it won more than 3.5 million box office yesterday.
Do you think "Storm and Clouds" can steal a certain share of the box office from "God of Gamblers 2"? ”
"Ming Zai, "God of Gamblers 2" has Chow Yun-fat, this year, people often compare you with Double Monday, and this time should be regarded as the first contest between you.
Do you think you can beat Chow Yun-fat at the box office? ”
"Ah Ming, according to the analysis of the media, I found that you have never had contact with Chow Yun-fat, whether it is private or business, do you have any unknown personal grudges?"
……
All kinds of questions came out of the reporters' mouths like machine guns, and most of them were asked by Chen Qiming.
This is not surprising either.
Although in terms of the coffee position of this movie, Liming and Chen Qiming are of the same grade.
But Chen Qiming has the name of an international superstar on his head after all.
There are few international superstars in Hong Kong.
Don't look at Jackie Chan and Jet Li, who are now also known as international superstars.
But in a real sense, their appeal is limited to the Asian region.
And Chen Qiming has really entered the existence of Europe and the United States.
Now buy a copy of European and American Billboard magazines, and you can still find his songs on them.
It is precisely because of this achievement that in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even the whole of China, even if Jackie Chan stands next to him, the attention he receives will not be half a point weaker.
However, Chen Qiming didn't want to answer any of the questions asked by these reporters in the audience.
He could see that the reporters were trying to make trouble.
Today, whenever he says something related to "God of Gamblers 2".
There is no need to guess, tomorrow's headlines will inevitably be topics such as "Chen Qiming Bombarding Chow Yun-fat".
Recently, because Chen Qiming and Chow Yun-fat's movies were released at the same time, both of them are very popular.
I don't know which media is idle and has nothing to do, so I actually went to check the social relationship between the two.
Then came to a conclusion that Chen Qiming couldn't laugh or cry.
Chen Qiming and Chow Yun-fat do not agree.
This is the conclusion that the media has speculated on.
Because Chen Qiming has never had a relationship with Chow Yun-fat since his debut.
Therefore, the media directly crowned a disagreeable conclusion.
Speaking of which, even Chen Qiming himself felt a little incredible.
In the years since his debut, he has been in contact with most of the Hong Kong existences.
Even Stephen Chow and Jet Li, they also met at the awards and chatted together.
On the contrary, Chow Yun-fat, Chen Qiming has never had contact with him once.
It is not surprising that big names like Chen Qiming and Chow Yun-fat have no cooperation with each other on their works.
But I haven't even met once in private, which naturally seems a little unreasonable.
Therefore, the news of the disagreement between the two spread.
However, although I don't want to answer, so many people look at it and don't say a word, which obviously makes people feel more suspicious.
Therefore, Chen Qiming said a few words briefly.
""Storm and Clouds" is a good movie, of course, "God of Gamblers 2" is the same, I hope everyone can pay more attention.
As for saying that I don't get along with Fa Ge, this is pure nonsense, I just haven't had much contact with him, and I don't have any grudges.
……”
Chen Qiming said a few simple words, and then directly changed the topic and led the topic to Liming.
There are still a lot of breaking news on Liming.
Just now, it was just because Chen Qiming was here, so the media habitually wanted to dig up some news from Chen Qiming first.
Now, Chen Qiming obviously didn't want to say more, so the reporter naturally pointed the finger at Liming.
Oh! and Li Jiaxin.
Recently, there have been media reports that Li Ming has a leg with Li Jiaxin.
Now that both parties are here, the media will naturally not let it go.
……
The interview lasted about 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes, Chen Qiming and his party stepped off the stage and began to wait for the film to be screened.
Two minutes later, the theater goes black and the movie begins.
Unlike most martial arts films on the market that focus on real action, although the movie "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" also has a large number of real fight scenes, in general, this drama focuses on computer special effects.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a special effects movie dressed in martial arts, but it is biased towards fantasy.
If you want to take a movie out to correspond to it.
That is undoubtedly the Shushan film filmed by Tsui Hark in the eighties.
Although the background of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" is not as fantastic as "Shushan", in terms of special effects, this film is not inferior to the film that created the first computer special effects in China.
In "Storm and Storm Dominates the World", in order to pursue that Hollywood blockbuster feeling, Chen Qiming directly contacted a special effects company in Europe and the United States.
The total investment of the whole film is more than 40 million, of which about 25 million is spent on special effects.
As far as Chen Qiming is concerned, he feels that his "Fengyun" is at least more than a step bigger than the version in his dream in terms of special effects.
And this is completely smashed with money.
"The Wind Blows the Dust"
"Cloud Rain Landing"
"Countless heroes flock to all directions"
Unlike all the movies on the market that start directly, "Storm and Storm" is a prologue.
At the beginning of the prologue, accompanied by Tu Honggang's loud and domineering singing, Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng played by Chen Qiming and Liming appeared on the screen.
One of them fell from the sky, their legs spinning, and a huge sandstorm rolled up.
The other person inhaled and pushed with both palms, and the clouds in the sky directly turned into countless raindrops and were incorporated into the palms, forming a huge water ball.
The sandstorm collided with the huge water balloon, forming a huge shockwave that spread out, and the camera followed the shockwave and came directly to Qin Shuang played by Takeshi Kaneshiro, he punched out, and the frost spread out along the earth, and the camera continued to follow the frost, and the male dominated played by Chiba Shinichi appeared in the camera.
Throughout the prologue, every character appears, and along with it, there are special effects that are full of visual sense.
"Awesome!"
"It's kind of amazing!"
"Look at this prologue, this play is not simple!"
