Chapter 1142: Surpassing the Clown
Liu Tianwang was the first one to come. He had the best relationship with Chen Hao. As the host, he made a decision for Chen Hao first when he came here. After the event, he went to the restaurant below the residence hotel. Invite everyone to a meal.
"Since Andy said it, I won't take it away." Lao Zeng's unique voice came before anyone else, and the smile on his face was still bright.
This time, the actors in "The Embalmer" are all mainland actors. Except for Xu Jinglei and Wang Leehom, they are almost unfamiliar with the established celebrities in Hong Kong, such as Andy Lau and Eric Tsang when they were active on the stage. , these people are still unknown, Han Tongsheng and Zhang Shaohua, two veteran actors, are still polishing their acting skills outside the spotlight and waiting for opportunities, so regardless of their age, their qualifications are not necessarily bad, but in terms of fame and time of fame There is still a clear gap.
From the hotel to Hung Hom, you will see some scenes through the car windows on the way. They all know that they are really not very famous here. Xu Jinglei is a well-known artist here, and only Duan Yihong is still there. Better, regardless of whether it is an international film festival or a film festival, and some people have won Best Actor, but no matter what level they are, when compared with Chen Hao, there is no way to compare. If we have to distinguish between them today, they are here for the movie. Still here for Chen Hao, the final big data will definitely be on Chen Hao without any suspense. Although the movie is also the work of Chen Hao, in their hearts, they don’t know that the movie has not yet been released, but Haozi is in front of us. .
"I'm smarter." Huang Qiusheng was followed by two assistants, carrying meal bags and bringing some of the most characteristic snacks in Hong Kong, including stocking milk tea from a time-honored brand. Various aromas wafted out when the lunch boxes were opened. Xiangjiang's snacks have always been very famous. Chen Hao first took a pair of fish balls and a cup of stocking milk tea without ceremony.
Some people came over one after another, but most of them helped promote this time's movie, or sent flower baskets for the media to take pictures, or forwarded the trailer on Weibo. Brother Jackie Chan even brought He brought his family class over to support him and perform as a back-up for the promotional event. You can’t say that he asked his people to come and enjoy the popularity. They really came to help sincerely. They were all in Hung Hom. There were so many people at the scene. It was just a movie. The promotional activities will definitely not be able to sustain it, so we have to prepare a little more for everyone. If you ask Jackie Chan and Andy Lau to help with the performance, that's a bit much. Chen Hao will definitely not make such a request. It would directly destroy the friendship between them. Jackie Chan and other members of the family class do not have this problem. According to their seniority, they are all juniors, performing as back-up performers, and everyone can take care of the good and the bad.
Before going on stage, Xu Jinglei told Chen Hao: "This scene makes me a little nervous. It is obviously a movie promotion event, but it seems to be like a concert."
Chen Hao looked at the people around him and smiled: "This is just the beginning."
His words have been fully confirmed in the next ten days. From Hong Kong to Singapore, to Paris, to Berlin, to New York, to Los Angeles, plus Yanjing, there will be a total of seven promotional activities, less than 10 days since the announcement of the release of this film. In half a month, "The Embalmer" has been officially scheduled for release. The seven promotions are more lively than the last. What Chen Hao said at the beginning is perfectly confirmed in one place.
Everyone in Xiangjiang thinks it is perfect, and so many fans enthusiastically support it.
When we arrived in Singapore, it was even more lively and the enthusiasm shown by the fans was even stronger. In this livable country, fans from more than a dozen countries gathered.
Starting from Xiangjiang, Chen Hao began to perform on stage.
Fans began to respond to his performance with their own enthusiasm. After you Haozi performed, we are even more enthusiastic and look forward to you having a better performance. Chen Hao is always emotional and ignores such enthusiasm, and Xu Jinglei can be in it. Dancing tango on the stage, you and Duan Yihong can interact with the fans on stage in the form of fitness games while holding dumbbells.
When we arrived in Paris and Berlin, we started to have supporting guests. When we arrived in New York, the big models from Victoria’s Secret, even though this was not the time of year when they showed up, they all came to the scene to support Chen Hao.
"The Shawshank Redemption" didn't have much publicity, "Forrest Gump" didn't have any publicity at all, and finally MOUSE publicized it this time. They said it was friendship, but it wasn't just to gain popularity. The more accurate statement is to maintain it. With the connection between each other, they gradually transitioned from acquaintances to acquaintances. For such a superstar, no one wants to have only one cooperation and then never contact each other again. Mutual benefit is always to support each other.
On the stage, Chen Hao has never lacked content for interactive performances on stage. He does not need to ask the planning team to prepare in advance, and he does not need to worry about whether he will forget a bad performance. It is the best performance without a script. At this time What he is most grateful for is that he once stepped out as an anchor. From the screen to the scene, he changed his identity, but all these familiar feelings and confidence will not change.
You have enough talent, but there is no accompaniment prepared for the scene. Are there any musical instruments? What musical instruments are there? If there are no large musical instruments, just bring a few that you can hold in your hands. In fact, there are no musical instruments for me to sing a cappella. How about I perform a dance for everyone? Celebrities are here, and guests are here to support you. Don’t worry, you have more opportunities to be on stage than fans. If you can play, then you are an integral part of this promotional event.
Xu Jinglei is often stimulated in New York. She is not short, but she can be placed next to those big models. The photos taken by the media can speak for themselves. Duan Yihong, Yu Hewei, Li Yixiang and Zhang Li (played by Jinbao Dapeng in Conquest) also play the villain. ), and picked up a wave of laughter. When they arrived in Los Angeles, when O'Neal appeared on the scene, during the power game competition, Xu Jinglei found an opportunity for revenge, and successfully picked up the laughs as a bystander, but the scene she wanted to see most was not there. When O'Neal and Chen Hao were asked to compete in strength, the still cute fat shark waved his hands repeatedly, pointed at some fitness equipment on the stage, and adopted the posture of Bruce Lee, shouting Chinese Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu, himself Can't compare to Chen Hao who knows Chinese Kung Fu.
During the two stops in the United States, actors who have worked with me also came to support, from the original "Dark Knight" to "Prison Break" to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "The Shawshank Redemption". Except for Will Smith, he did not get along well. , he has maintained very good relationships with the rest of his production partners. He did not invite anyone to this promotional event. Kristen Stewart, Nina Dobrev, etc. all took the initiative to attend. He didn't want to listen to what some netizens said on the Internet that these people were here to gain popularity. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he took it as such because he wanted to get a favor from others.
He did not refuse any of the live performance singers arranged by the organizer, and took the initiative to greet and communicate with them backstage, maintaining due etiquette. Although this move cost him some time and energy, But he also won a lot of praise for him, saying that he has no airs, that he is enthusiastic, and that he is easy to get along with.
In half a month, all the publicity was completed. Finally, Chen Hao and all the creative staff were in Los Angeles to welcome the premiere. North America gave him very high treatment and asked him: "It is a commercial film." ?"
If so, even if your film is rated R, we are still willing to give you the opportunity to make conditions. We will try our best to satisfy you for how much you say.
If not, we will give you three thousand yuan, is that enough?
R, those under the age of seventeen need to be accompanied by an adult to watch. A non-commercial film like this shown on a 3,000-dollar screen has already raised expectations. If it were anyone else, just by operating this film, they would be able to watch it. It is difficult to release it in North America, with all kinds of tedious things. During the period of the Happy Reunion era, before Chen Hao announced the news that "The Embalmer" will be released globally, a team of more than ten people has been working here and cooperating. Paramount of the two films continued to maintain a good relationship with Chen Hao, and sent favors in advance for more cooperation in the future. Paramount almost did its best to help with this film, and finally it was able to be released normally here. Otherwise, even if It will never be so smooth if it can be released.
Art theaters don't have so many worries. Chen Hao's previous two films have been recognized by art theaters. This time, although "The Embalmer" is a Chinese film, it was still given some screens in big cities.
The trailer of "The Embalmer" was very successful and successfully aroused everyone's interest in this film. What kind of story does Chen Hao want to tell? During the promotion, he mentioned more than once that everyone should be mentally prepared to watch it. This time, he did not dare to say that he could surpass the role of the clown, but in terms of the difficulty of the role interpretation and the satisfaction of the performance, he frankly said that it was better than the role of the clown. The clown's performance is more enjoyable and better than the clown's performance.
Others may say this for publicity, but Chen Hao said this because he must have the confidence and his acting is really good. At his level, he can no longer bear any small flaws to damage his brand. What he says must be well-founded and will definitely give the audience a satisfactory answer.
"Forrest Gump" is still in theaters. Although it has great stamina, it is impossible for its overall performance to catch up with the box office performance of "The Shawshank Redemption". Other places are not as good as North America, but it has not lost. After nine days and 240 million, it is still It has a very good box office performance and is infinitely close to "The Shawshank Redemption".
From March to April, two Chen Hao's works were released in succession, which to a certain extent made those viewers who were clamoring to watch "Lost" choose to wait for the autumn release of "Lost" normally, and they also acquiesced to this. It is unlikely that a major drama will be released twice a year, but fortunately there are still some to watch. Let’s see what kind of performance MOUSE said he would surpass the Joker?
Many viewers are silently admitting the fact that they have higher expectations for Chen Hao's villain.
