Chapter 999: Wrap-Up Party for Lost in Hong Kong! New Project? An Emergency! Public Opinion Exploded!
With the end of the 19th, the Monday of the new week also officially came to an end.
The next morning, the film and television industry became lively again!
"The fourth-day box office of the movie "The Great Wall" was revealed, with a comprehensive scheduling rate of 41.6%, a daily new box office of 53.0941 million, and a comprehensive box office market share of 38.6%... This result is obviously inconsistent with the expected box office."
"The comedy theme, the third film of the "囧series", "Hong Kong囧", produced by Feiyue Film and Television, written, directed and acted by Wang Baoqiang, supervised by Ning Hao, and performed by Huang Bo, Jiang Qinqin , Tong Liya and others, was officially announced in Hong Kong yesterday."
"The comedy and love theme movie "The Ferryman", produced by Alibaba Pictures, supervised by Wang Jiawei, directed by Zhang Yijia, and starring Tony Leung, Jin Chengwu, Eason Chan, Yang Ying, Zhang Rongrong and others, will be held in Hong Kong at 7 o'clock tonight. The Asian premiere event will be held in Hong Kong."

In the morning, major media divided into three groups to follow up on the three movies "The Great Wall", "Hong Kong囧" and "The Ferryman".
In comparison, the popularity of "Lost in Hong Kong" is obviously lower, after all, the media only know the news that the filming is finished.
However, "The Ferryman" is quite lively.
In the whole morning, there are many mainland stars and actors who went to the airport to fly to Hong Kong.
Even Yang Ying, who has been low-key for several days because of the topic of "sky-high pay", showed up with Huang Xiaoming with a big belly.
The media originally wanted to interview, but seeing Yang Ying's big belly, they didn't dare to squeeze in.
In addition, the bodyguard team specially hired by Huang Xiaoming directly led to many media watching the couple leave their sight.
Turning back to "The Great Wall", the "public opinion" is simply terrifying!
As the box office of the movie hit a new low, netizens who felt that "national dignity was violated" would naturally not let this movie go, so all kinds of ugly abuses emerged one after another.
Although almost all film critics have been "banned", the audience's right to speak cannot be banned. Even if a huge army of netizens rush in to clean up the mess, they cannot cover up the surging public opinion.
Once "patriotism" is provoked and challenged, there will be many people who go crazy!
At this time, in the set of "Dying to Survive".
Ren Zhonglun looked at the online abuse of "The Great Wall" and subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He has begun to get nervous...
At this time, Han Jianu, who turned around, just saw his action, covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Uncle Ren, you have to be prepared. "Railroad Tigers" will be released in two days, and you will inevitably be scolded."
Ren Zhonglun rarely refuted, but kept sighing:
"I laughed at La Peikang a few days ago, but I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly."
"Haha, he didn't mean it, but you deserve it." Han Sanping showed his poisonous tongue again, and Ren Zhonglun's face changed.
However, Chairman Ren Da did not have the slightest intention of regretting.
"In life, there are some things that you have to try even if you know they are wrong. If you want to get along in this circle, you must stick your neck out for your friends. Otherwise, who would want to get along with you?"
No one refuted this. After all, rules and friendship are inherently vague under the current national conditions in China, and it is difficult to find a clear line between the two.
At the same time, in the Film Bureau.
Zhang Hong looked at La Peikang standing in front of him and sighed helplessly: "It's rare for you to come to me to beg for mercy, but since you have spoken, I will definitely give you this face.
I can decide to extend the key extension of "The Great Wall" to February 28, which is the end of February.
But! The series of impacts caused, as well as the doubts inside and outside the circle, all these have to be solved by you."
"Okay, I understand, Director Zhang, thank you for your support."
La Peikang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking him, he prepared to get up and leave.
But at this time, Zhang Hong stopped him again: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
"Director Zhang, just give me your orders."
"Starting from next year, when we cooperate with foreign film companies again, I hope you will keep your eyes open and don't fall into the trap set by others.
You should also know that the new White House official is not friendly to us, and the film and television industry is the face of a country, so we must not make mistakes, understand?"
La Peikang's expression instantly became serious when he heard this, and he quickly assured: "Don't worry, Director Zhang! I will keep my eyes open!"
After watching him leave for a long time, a faint sigh came from the office.
"The ability to forge ahead is not enough, and the attitude of keeping the right and innovating is unstable... It's not worth much use!"

On the evening of the 20th, Chen Fei personally went out to pick up the "Hong Kong囧" crew who were returning to the mainland by charter flight at the airport.
"Hey, Director Chen, why are you here in person?"
As soon as he saw Chen Fei, Wang Baoqiang immediately ran over, unable to hide his excitement.
Behind him, Huang Bo, Jiang Qinqin, Tong Liya, Wang Xun and others also hurriedly followed and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Director Chen, good evening!"
"Director Chen."
"Hey! Chen Fei? Yifei? Why are you two here?"
Looking at the vast crowd of people approaching, Chen Fei greeted: "You are heroes. You have been away for more than three months before you came back. Of course I have to come to greet you in person."
With that said, he waved to everyone to follow him: "There is a bus outside, come with me. The hotel has been booked for you. You won't come back until you get drunk tonight, haha."
For a moment, there were bursts of cheers at the exit of the plane.
The reporters and paparazzi who were squatting nearby had already gathered around and were busy pressing the shutter.
There were quite a few reporters who wanted to squeeze in to ask a few questions, but in the face of the surging crowd, they couldn't even break through the perimeter.
With the departure of the entire crew of "囧 in Hong Kong", there are already real-time hot searches on Weibo.
"On the evening of the 20th, the entire crew of "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" landed in the capital, and Chen Fei and Liu Yifei came to greet them in person; it is reported that a finals dinner will be held tonight at a five-star hotel."
It is a pity that this hot search did not stay on the list for too long, and was suppressed by the premiere news of "The Ferryman".
With the support of Alibaba Pictures, there is quite a bit of movement there.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the stars and actors in the entertainment industry flew to Hong Kong tonight just to catch a glimpse of "The Ferryman".

The dishes had been ordered in advance, so when Fade Chen led the crew of "囧 in Hong Kong" to the hotel, delicacies were quickly served one after another.
The good wine and delicious food immediately dispelled everyone's fatigue over the past few months. In addition, the rooms have been opened upstairs, so naturally they can eat and drink happily!
"Director Chen, I'd like to toast you and thank you for helping me realize my dream of being a director. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want..."
Wang Baoqiang drank a full glass of wine in one gulp, and the gratitude in his words almost overflowed.
Chen Fei had a drink with him. After he sat down, he reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "I have heard about your mother. If you need any help, please ask as soon as possible, whether it is at home or abroad." I can help you contact foreign medical institutions.”
"Thank you for your kindness." Wang Baoqiang forced a smile on his lips and pretended to be strong: "It is already an advanced stage of brain tumor. I have seen it at home and abroad, and it is useless.
I want to finish the post-production of "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" as soon as possible and take her to watch the movie after it is released to let her know that her son has also become a great director, haha! "
"Well, if you have any difficulties in the later stage, you can go to Mr. Su. I have already told him that he will help throughout the process."
"Okay." Wang Baoqiang responded, picked up the wine glass, and drank another glass of wine.
During this period, many people came over to propose a toast, and he refused all of them... and this resulted in him falling down after a while.
Chen Fei called over two brothers who were responsible for carrying props on the set and helped him to the room.
Tong Liya was worried, confessed her crime, and went to take care of Baoqiang.
"Well, it's not easy to stay strong. From a small group actor to now a director, I don't know how much hardship I have endured over the years before I finally climbed to this position." Huang Bo came over and was very surprised. He said with emotion.
Chen Fei turned to look at him with a smile, and said jokingly: "I heard Ning Hao say before that you wrote a movie script yourself?"
"Hey? Director Ning is such a big mouth, why do you keep talking about everything?" Huang Boyue pretended to be very angry.
"Come, have a drink." Chen Fei raised his glass and clinked it with him, and said bluntly: "If you have any difficulties, just come to me. There is no need to be so polite between us.
Ning Hao has told me before that your script is quite good. If there is any gap in investment, Feiyue Film and Television can fill it for you at any time. "
"Hey, then I won't be polite?"
Chen Fei gave him a look of disgust: "I didn't ask you to be polite in the first place."
Huang Bo nodded, "Just give it another two days. During this time, I will perfect the script and produce a complete project book, and then I will go to your place to attract investment."
"Okay, call ahead when you come over."
"Well, don't worry, I will."
…
After the closing banquet ended, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.
After bidding farewell to the crew of "囧 in Hong Kong", Chen Fei and Liu Yifei got in the car together and rushed straight to the villa.
In the car, Miss Liu suddenly said: "Tong Liya just told me that she will marry Bao Qiang after the movie "囧" starring them is officially released."
"Ouch?" Chen Fei's eyes lit up: "Is this going to be a real achievement?"
"Ang, they have been in love for several years, and now they have opened a studio. It can be said that their careers are successful, and it is time to talk about marriage."
"Well, it's indeed time... It's the same for both of us. It's also time. I'll marry you next year."
Liu Yifei blushed and raised her chin with a coquettish hum: "Huh, I don't want to marry you."
"That's not up to you. When the time comes, even if you are kidnapped by force, you will have to be taken into the house."
Time passed quickly as we were playing around, and we were at home before we knew it.
"I'm going to take a shower first. You're not allowed to come in. You can do it after I've finished taking it!"
Without saying a word, Liu Yifei quickly ran into the bedroom to change clothes.
"Don't lock the door!"
Chen Fei shouted at her back, then turned around and went to the kitchen. While making tea, he took out his mobile phone and browsed the news.
At this moment, Weibo is full of news about the successful conclusion of the premiere of "The Ferryman". Looking around, almost all the industry insiders present are praising how good the movie is.
Including many film critics who have just applied for a small account, they have also given it extremely high praise.
And the media are more enthusiastic than one another, and related reports continue to emerge.
"Tonight, the movie "The Ferryman" produced by Wang Jiawei and directed by Zhang Jiajia held a grand premiere in Hong Kong. The film brought together many stars such as Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Chen Yixun, Angelababy (Yang Ying); the premiere was star-studded and the atmosphere was warm, triggering screams from fans!"
"At the event, the film's creators interacted closely with the audience and shared interesting stories and experiences during the filming process, which caused laughter and applause."
"Many celebrity guests at the scene gave high praise to the film, believing that the film was not only full of laughter, but also deeply touched people emotionally. Many viewers said that the love experience and inspirational themes in the film made people feel warm and it was a masterpiece worth watching again and again.
"Many industry experts are full of expectations for the box office prospects of "The Ferryman"; it is reported that the film will be released in major theaters across the country on the 23rd, and it is believed that it will inevitably set off a wave of movie-watching. ”
“As the atmosphere at the premiere became intense, Zhang Qi, president of Alibaba Pictures, revealed that the production cost of The Ferryman was as high as 430 million yuan, and the expected box office was 2 billion yuan; this undoubtedly proves that the film will become one of the top masterpieces during the Lunar New Year period this year!”
In the living room of the villa, Chen Fei almost spit out a mouthful of tea!
“It cost 430 million yuan to shoot this crap? ? ? ”
He was really shocked. After all, the production cost of The Wandering Earth was only 600 million yuan. How could The Ferryman spend all 430 million yuan?
A romantic and comedy drama, not a special effects blockbuster, and not in lMAX format, how could it cost so much money?
“Is this money so hard to launder? ”
He didn’t believe that Yang Ying could get a sky-high salary of 80 million for this movie, so the result could only be what he guessed.
Shaking his dizzy head, Chen Fei turned off his phone and went straight to the bathroom, ready to take a shower with Liu Yifei.
He really had no interest in watching it anymore. He expected a box office of 2 billion? Such exaggerated data was only what the “leeks” in the stock market liked to hear.
For him, this was completely nonsense!
…
After a night, the time came to the 21st.
"Operation Red Sea" successfully broke the box office records of "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Operation Mekong" today, and won a total box office of 3.702 billion!
But unfortunately, the film's daily new box office can no longer continue to sprint to the 100 million mark.
No However, in comparison, the Sino-US co-produced fantasy blockbuster "The Great Wall", which has just been released for 5 days, is even worse!
After the box office plummeted to 53.09 million, the new day plummeted by a full 12.47 million, closing at only 40.62 million.
Although the two investors, China Film and LeTV, are still making every effort to promote it, no matter how hard they try, they can't save the current tragic ending of "The Great Wall".
However, they didn't get scolded much today, because all netizens on the Internet, and even everyone in the entire entertainment industry, are now looking at Hong Kong!
Of course, everyone will definitely not be bored enough to read the news release of "The Ferryman".
The hot search that really attracted the attention of the whole nation actually came from the dinner after the premiere of "The Ferryman" .
The short, playful old rogue, as expected, got drunk again last night, and also revealed a shocking melon!
When the media interviewed him about his son Zeng Guoxiang's literary love film "July and Ansheng", which was well received and won many awards, he suddenly showed a lewd smile on his face.
"Xiao Yuer... is a good person, I have already had a hidden rule with her..."
As soon as these words appeared, all the reporters and paparazzi at the scene were stunned.
And when they reacted, it was a complete explosion!
Although Zeng Guoxiang, who was standing next to him, arranged for someone to forcibly drag him away on the grounds that "my dad drank too much and started talking nonsense", he still failed to stop the spread of this sentence.
The paparazzi were so happy that their faces were full of smiles , after all, this "melon" is too explosive!
The new Golden Horse Film Queen actually... If this news comes out, it will definitely make the domestic entertainment, Hong Kong entertainment, and Taiwan entertainment a sensation.
And now the facts have proved that the whole network is indeed a sensation!
At the same time, everyone finally understood why the former had the courage to imply the latter who relied on Xiying during the previous Golden Horse Awards Ceremony.
With such a strong thigh, wouldn't it be unscrupulous?
Although the woman issued a public letter to refute the rumor early in the morning, and strongly requested that major media not continue to spread and slander.
But this request has no lethality in the eyes of the paparazzi.
So, what should be spread is still being spread, what should be hotly discussed is still being hotly discussed, and what should be laughed at is still being laughed at.
"I have to say, that person's taste is really heavy!"
"With neither breasts nor buttocks, what's the point of having an unspoken rule? I wonder, how can you eat it?"
"After eating too much meat, you need some vegetarian dishes to change your taste occasionally. This is understandable."
"I wonder how this Golden Horse Film Queen won so smoothly. With someone behind her, she should have won it easily, right?"
"Why issue a rumor-refuting announcement? Everyone knows that the one from Hong Kong is the best. She has admitted it, so why not just give in to her?"
The netizens' mouths are more vicious than each other, and their sarcasm is like a knife, cutting straight into the woman's heart!
Coupled with the efforts of her competitors, it has undoubtedly increased the influence of the public opinion storm, so that the heat is getting higher and higher! More and more exaggerated!
At this point, if the people behind her finally choose not to help, then this "Golden Horse Film Queen" who was born as a "Mou Girl" will be completely finished!
