Chapter 730: Tang Monk's Meat in the Entertainment Circle
"Then will you go to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou and other cities next?"
"No, I'm very busy and don't have much time."
The next morning, while having breakfast, Zhou Yi shook his head decisively when faced with Cai Zhuoyan's inquiry: "After attending your premiere, I have to rush to Changsha without stopping."
Movie premieres are something like this. Zhou Yi's personal experience is actually quite boring.
First, a group of people held a press conference and talked about the world. In the evening, they held a not-so-small Avenue of Stars. The main creators of the film and the celebrities who came to help the scene all took the stage and walked around. In the end, hundreds of onlookers and even Thousands of movie fans came to watch the movie——
After watching it, the main creator went on stage to ask for opinions. Finally, hello, me, everyone, let’s make dumplings together.
Best of all, it’s not just a repeat.
The world premiere is held in the imperial capital. After everything is over, we have to go to Shanghai tomorrow, Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, etc. Basically, before the film was officially released nationwide on the 24th, the film's creators had to travel back and forth in several big cities, and the process was the same every time.
Therefore, Zhou Yi, as a guest star, will definitely not follow the crew and creators around. It would be fine if he could come over to help with the world premiere in the Imperial Capital. The same goes for Jiang Wen.
The two of them are basically in the imperial capital and don't have to travel long distances.
"That's such a pity. I thought you could run along with me. With you here, the gimmicks will not be less than those of "2046" next door."
Cai Zhuoyan felt a little pity.
Also released at the same time as the movie "New Police Story" is Wang Jiawei's masterpiece "2046", which he has been honing for five years.
From 1999 to 2004, this masterpiece, which is known as Wang Jiawei’s career collection, attracted the attention of many movie fans at the beginning of its promotion——
In addition to the popularity of the sunglasses king himself, there are also celebrities such as Liang Chaowei, Zhang Ziyi, Wang Fei, Gong Li, Liu Jialing, Dong Jie, Zhang Manyu and even the Japanese idol Kimura Takuya, who are so clearly displayed on the posters that it is enough to make people dizzy. .
Except for Kimura Takuya, the other celebrities are basically celebrities who are currently very well-known in China.
Coupled with four years of filming and a one-year production cycle, "2046" was enough to be used by busybodies and even the producers of "2046" to compete with Cheng Long's "New Police Story" when it was first released. ", wanting to imitate Zhou Yi's just-concluded battle in the United States and start a marketing war to stimulate the box office.
After all, it’s the National Day Golden Week soon, which is a bonus period for rapid box office growth.
If Zhou Yi can follow the promotion, just the topic of "the two prides of the past" will be enough to turn the world upside down.
"Are you still afraid of "2046"?"
Zhou Yi, who took a bite of the bun, didn't understand.
"You must not be afraid, but the current situation is that they are playing with bondage, and Chenglong himself is a little helpless." Cai Zhuoyan, who was wearing cool clothes, brushed her teeth and leaned on the back of the sofa and said vaguely.
"I said so."
Zhou Yi chuckled.
The Shanghai Film Group is behind "2046". Chenglong certainly has nothing to say and can only sit back and let it go.
Obviously, Shanghai Film Group really wants to make "2046" a brand as much as possible and make a fortune from it, so as to avoid years of wasted investment.
This movie drags on for too long.
Moreover, if I remember correctly, it seems that it was really successful.
The box office of "New Police Story" reached 16 million within three days of its release. However, when it was finally released, the total box office in the mainland was only over 40 million. It was a case of poor reputation and lack of follow-up;
The reputation of "2046" was not as bad as Cheng Long's collapse. There were still many people popping champagne and stamping on Cheng Long's movie. In the end, it won about 30 million in the mainland box office.
Judging from the mainland box office alone, the final gap between the two parties is indeed not very big.
"You don't know that Bona is going to hold a banquet for a thousand people for our premiere. As soon as the news came out, the "2046" side also said that they would hold one, just to benchmark."
"New Police Story" is distributed in China by Bona.
"Just benchmark."
Zhou Yi still rejected the request for more promotional shows: "Instead of thinking about this, you might as well think more about the new album. Didn't you say that you want to enter the mainland market?"
It's not like he's starring in it, so a guest appearance is more than enough.
"Then I will definitely have to enter next year. In the second half of this year, after I finish filming the movie, I have to avoid the schedules of several female singers, so I can only come next year." When talking about her singing career, Cai Zhuoyan suddenly said coquettishly.
Even with "Don't Want to Grow Up" written by Zhou Yi, Yinghuang is still unwilling to take risks.
Sun Yanzi, the top sister of Warner, hasn't released an album yet. Anyone who bumps into her will be used as cannon fodder. Not to mention that there is Elva Hsiao who was elected as the first Chinese female due to her impressive achievements abroad——
It is said that he will return at the end of the year.
If these two gods fight, it will be others who suffer.
When the boss and the second kid got into a fight and ended up beating the third kid to death, Yinghuang had already suffered a loss when Zhou Yi first debuted.
Not to mention that the current situation of the record market is far worse than it was in the past due to the declining situation. Yinghuang must choose a schedule without any competitors before allowing twins to enter the mainland market.
"Besides, I always feel that something is not right with Ah Jiao. Recently, she seems to be very sensitive to the camera and is not very suitable for filming MVs. She said she was tired from filming and wanted to rest."
Talking about the good sisters' recent frightened reactions, Cai Zhuoyan complained: "Obviously when there was a scandal with a famous member of the room team, she still smiled so happily in front of the camera."
Zhouyi: "..."
The second brother stood up!
It’s also a sin to have too good an association ability.
Zhou Yi's expression was a little weird, and Cai Zhuoyan's expression was even weirder. She raised her hand and patted Xiao Yi: "What are you thinking? Isn't it enough to eat me? Are you a dog? Do you want to get together someday?"
"It's not impossible. When the time comes, I'll take a photo of you two together."
"screw you."
The private verbal exchange with Cai Zhuoyan was just for fun, and she didn't take it seriously: "You're going to die if you take pictures. If it's exposed, we won't even be alive."
No matter how open and blatant Hong Kong’s atmosphere is, this behavior is still too advanced.
She didn't dare to think about it.
"No, you don't want to take pictures, do you? This trip to the United States has opened up a new world for you?" Cai Zhuoyan, who was brushing her teeth, suddenly came back to her senses and looked at him up and down with strange eyes.
Zhou Yi shrugged innocently: "Don't slander me, I have no interest in taking pictures of these."
Although he still admires Teacher Chen who is passively open source.
"I advise you not to have any thoughts about Ah Jiao. Chen Guanxi is very precious to her. Ever since Ah Jiao had several scandals with several actors this year, he has been very interested in Ah Jiao. The two of them are talking about it wholeheartedly. In love."
I don't know whether it was because she was jealous or because she thought of some indescribable scene. Cai Zhuoyan reminded her half-heartedly: "If you really attack her, be careful of Chen Guanxi trying to fight for you. Shawn Yue was almost blocked by him and beaten by him."
"Why didn't you say Ajiao would sternly reject me?" Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and caught the gist of it.
"I don't know her well yet, and her crotch is very loose. She even hooked up with her roommate in a movie before, but she was warned by Lin Fengjiao. Chenglong couldn't even say anything. He pretended he couldn't see her."
"You two are truly teammates."
Zhou Yi laughed out loud and gave her a thumbs up.
"Come less."
Cai Zhuoyan, who had finally given up all pretense, did not conceal her thoughts: "What's going on with you and Zhang Ziyi? When you didn't come back a few days ago, in the interview about "2046", she actually said that the male artist she most wanted to work with was you?"
"?"
Zhou Yi slowly raised a question: "There are so many female artists who want to cooperate with me. Who is she?"
………………………………
"I guess I'm a toad who wants to eat swan meat?"
On the afternoon of the 20th, "2046" was promoted in Hong Kong.
Zhang Ziyi, who knew that "New Police Story" was holding a banquet for thousands of people in the imperial capital, was rare when being interviewed by reporters. Instead of being rude, she put herself in the inferior position: "Zhouyi is the best I have seen since I entered this circle. The best artist in my life, you don’t have to write it down, I can say it clearly.”
A group of Hong Kong reporters: "..."
No, what do you mean?
Are you not the heroine of "2046"?
Shouldn't the male protagonist of your drama be Tony Leung?
You don't praise him, but you praise Zhou Yi, who can't be beaten with eight poles. What do you mean?
You also said that you are a toad, what kind of ecstasy soup did Zhou Yi give you?
Wang Fei, Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, Dong Jie and other actresses couldn't help but glance at this proud and proud new international movie star.
Except for Dong Jie, the other women are all women who have established their own connections in the world after becoming famous. The purpose of Zhang Ziyi's licking Zhou Yi is that they have almost learned about a lot of things through their own channels——
Fashion resources.
Zhang Ziyi has become the first mainland female star to be inspected by Armani. At next year's Cannes Film Festival, Zhang Ziyi herself will wear a high-end dress provided by Armani.
The key point is that Zhou Yi introduced it casually without taking it seriously. The reason was just a nonsense: "We are all Chinese, and we should help as much as we can when we are away from home."
This is simply the level of a living saint in the entertainment industry.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Even though they have been in the entertainment industry for a long time, they were confused for a long time when they first got this answer.
They once suspected that it was a character set-up, but in the end they found out that Zhou Yi really didn't seem to like Zhang Ziyi——
It just happened that he was in France at that time and Armani himself happened to be in France, so he mentioned it casually. This gave Zhang Ziyi the opportunity to open Armani's door and negotiate with others.
This is too grassy.
What about equivalent exchange?
Just don’t want it?
"You mean, you like Zhou Yi, right? Ziyi?"
"Who wouldn't like a man like him?"
Zhang Ziyi, who was wearing pearl earrings, smiled and said, "But obviously, there is no possibility between me and him."
"Why?"
"Are you feeling inferior to yourself?"
"Why do you say that?"
"you……"
"Just think that I have low self-esteem. But even so, I am better than some women who dare not admit anything, right?"
Zhang Ziyi smiled and meant something. On the other side, Zhang Manyu's face turned completely cold.
The two people who had been at odds since "Hero" completely became enemies in "2046". After the film was completed, Maggie Cheung found that she had so few scenes that she almost fell out with the Sunglasses King. Especially she couldn't stand that Zhang Ziyi was actually in the film. became the heroine.
If it weren't for the pressure of the contract, she wouldn't even want to participate in the promotion of "2046".
The reporters at the scene all had golden eyes - as if they saw golden mountains waving to them.
right!
That’s it!
This is what we want to see!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Isn't the fight between two women better than Chenglong rolling around in the movie?
They have all figured out the plot of the story——
Breaking up over the Book of Changes, Zhang Manyu eats tender grass while Zhang Ziyi fights for love with a sword!
What? Is the male protagonist of this movie Liang Chaowei?
While playing with eggs.
"First of all, this is a rumor and a baseless scandal."
"New Police Story" premiere.
Zhou Yi, who was asked relevant questions, shook his head and said helplessly: "Secondly, I haven't even met Ms. Zhang Manyu. It's even more nonsense if Wang is not Gong Li. Why don't you ask me about Eva Green? At least I can still talk to her." Let’s talk about the photos taken.”
It was obviously just a guest appearance, but he ended up sitting in the middle next to Chenglong. Zhou Yi teased the reporters: "Finally, please see clearly where this place is, thank you."
As for Jiang Wen, he was sitting next to Zhou Yi.
The two cameos pushed all the supporting characters back.
"Excuse me, Zhou Yi, are you ready to move to the film industry?"
"No, this time it's just that Brother Chenglong made an offer that I couldn't refuse - an offer that I couldn't refuse." Zhou Yi didn't even stop laughing in the middle of speaking, and even Chenglong laughed along with him. The reporters in the audience were confused.
"What are the conditions? A sky-high franchise fee?"
"What? No, no, no, it's brother Jiang Wen." Chenglong laughed loudly, and finally told the truth that he had been hiding at the premiere——
"Ah Yi said he didn't want to come at that time. Then I thought about it and told him that I planned to find Brother Jiang to play the father of Ting Feng. I asked him if he wanted to hit Jiang Wen..."
Speaking of the original highlight, Cheng Long danced with joy: "Then what do you think A Yi said? He said that this character should be left alone. He will definitely come. He will bring his own truck. He must be the candidate to hit Jiang Wen. , whether it’s money or not is a trivial matter.”
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Damn it!
At the moment when all the insiders on the stage could not hold back their laughter, the reporters below instantly became excited——
How hateful is this?
"Ahem, I want to reiterate something here. There is no hatred between Zhou Yi and I."
Jiang Wen, who couldn't hold back his laughter, added jealously: "That's right, Zhou Yi, I hope you remember one sentence, the way of heaven is reincarnation, who will be spared by heaven. Let's wait and see, you fucking hit me more than ten times Twenty times, I remember this.”
When the news interview session ended, after the Walk of Fame in the evening, and after all the media people watched Zhou Yi's Easter egg-like performance, the news the next day immediately exploded——
"Outlaw: Zhou Yi made a guest appearance on the big screen, and his debut was perfect!" 》
"Jiang Wen's Passion: An account of being hit fifty times!" 》
"Zhouyi: I never hold grudges"
"The heroine defected - Zhang Ziyi defected from the New Police Story crew"
"Zhang Ziyi talks about the perfect boyfriend in her heart: If you want to find someone like Zhou Yi, even if it doesn't work, you can find someone with some of Zhou Yi's characteristics"
Since "2046" was originally launched to compete with "New Police Story", the crew and producers did not stop Zhang Ziyi's behavior, but instead acquiesced to the popularity she brought when she mentioned Zhou Yi.
Some actresses in the circle who knew the truth became even more jealous of Zhou Yi, wishing they could tear off one of his arms and bite him on the spot.
With the blessing of various strange news in Zhouyi, the popularity of "New Police Story" after its premiere far exceeded Bona's expectations. The pre-sale of movie tickets on the 24th was directly carried out in several major theaters in first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Full -
Yes, it was full.
Tickets for several major theater chains, including Warner Bros., were sold out...
