Chapter 320 Shopping (44)

The Hong Kong release of "Mountain Village Fox Wife" was initially initiated by Tang Ren himself, and later Shen Xudong helped connect the Emperor...

Only then did 48 theaters release the film simultaneously.

By the way, Hong Kong's cinema market is gradually declining. In 1989, the total number of cinemas in Hong Kong was 121, and then it began to decrease every year;

In 1997, the number of movie theaters in Hong Kong fell below 100 for the first time, with only 89;

Since 2004, the number of cinemas in Hong Kong has basically remained at around 50.

In terms of screens, there are a total of 221 pictures!

The number of seats is less than one-third of what it was at its peak...

Back to back, the promotion of "Mountain Village Fox Wife" has been decided long ago!

In fact, it is a group of people gathering together to answer questions from the media and reporters.

After getting off the plane and getting in the car, Weng Hong seemed to have remembered something and reminded Shen Xudong: "Mainland reporters love to ask about art, while Hong Kong reporters care about private life, so be careful!"

Shen Xudong didn't take it seriously: "...What's the point of asking about my private life? Lao Hu just made his debut, and he has Mao's private life..."

"And you?"

"I'm a screenwriter, who cares about my private life?"

…

After thinking too much, I got out of the car and was blocked by reporters asking about unspoken rules...

"I heard that unspoken rules are very popular in the mainland entertainment industry. Many actresses are willing to make a lot of sacrifices in order to rise to the top. Is this true?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I don't know, I only know that we don't have a mafia, and actresses act more out of love, rather than thinking about marrying into a wealthy family or being a mistress for a rich man!"

"...But the news broke online..."

"If you believe the news on the Internet, why bother asking me?"

There is always a feeling that I am very noble in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and even the media is the same...

Is this also called a problem?

There are unspoken rules in the mainland entertainment industry, but there are no such rules in the Hong Kong entertainment industry?

The world is as black as crows...

Later, Sandra Ng said in the show, "Mainland actresses are willing to do anything in order to get promoted"...

"If "The Village Fox Wife" is a hit in Hong Kong, will the publisher Emperor give me a bonus?"

"...It's hard to say, but after selling the adaptation rights to "Hold the Call", Boss Yang gave me a 1 million red envelope as a reward. I think he will be very generous this time!"

"Oh? 1 million Hong Kong dollars?"

"Um…"

If you ask a question normally, Shen Xudong will definitely answer it normally...

Then if you ask some disgusting questions, Shen Xudong will definitely fight back!

It's a mutual respect thing.

"The box office of "The Village Fox Wife" is approaching 27 million Hong Kong dollars. You have to ask him for at least 5 million in red envelopes this time!"

"That's impossible...2 million!"

…

Lao Hu is more embarrassed...

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" doesn't seem to be broadcast in Hong Kong. To most Hong Kong media, Brother Hu is just a young actor with a long face!

However, Tang Ren also took advantage of the success of "The Village Fox Wife" to sell "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to TVB. I heard that the price was not high - it was not broadcast on Jade Channel, but on the TVB Drama Channel. Belongs to paid channel…

TVB has two free TV stations and three paid channels in Hong Kong. Among them, Jade Channel is what we usually call TVB and is the highest-rated Chinese TV station in Hong Kong.

Back to the topic, the Hong Kong promotion of "The Village Fox Wife" mainly relies on Xu Jinjiang, Weng Hong and Tse Junhao...

After all, they are our own people!

Including Shen Xudong and Hu Ge, few media actually asked questions!

After more than an hour of tossing, the press conference was over.

Shen Xudong is ready to answer some debates about commercial films and literary films...

I thought too much, people didn’t care at all, they didn’t mention it at all…

Also, the Hong Kong film market is very mature.

In the early days, there were actually disputes in business and literature - whether to be Wang Jing or Wang Jiawei!

But it didn’t last long…

Because Hollywood has ruined Hong Kong movies, it’s more important for everyone to survive first, and let’s talk about the rest later!

At the end of the press conference, Lao Hu couldn't help but complain: "Is it necessary for us to come all the way here to promote it?"

"Are you uncomfortable with no one asking you questions?"

Brother Hu was very honest: "A little bit... I thought I was very popular in the Mainland, and the same in Hong Kong..."

"Hong Kong media rarely pays attention to the mainland entertainment industry..." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "However, if you make a few more movies, your popularity in Hong Kong will soon rise!"

"Really?" "Of course!"

If I remember correctly, Brother Hu later became very famous in Hong Kong, and his wax figure also entered Madame Tussauds Hong Kong...

Shen Xudong added: "Coming to Hong Kong to promote... is also a sign of respect for the audience. After all, everyone bought tickets..."

Lao Hu nodded and said nothing. Shen Xudong turned and asked Cai Yinong, who was in charge of leading the team: "Do you have any plans later?"

Cai Yinong was curious: "What? Do you have plans?"

"I...I'm going to see Director Chen Musheng..."

"Boss Yang agreed to hold a celebration banquet!"

"He said tomorrow!"

Cai Yinong looked at Brother Hu and thought: "You are going to see Director Chen Musheng... Then take Lao Hu with you?"

"Why should I take him..." Shen Xudong subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing Lao Hu's look of expectation, he could only nod his head: "Okay... but I can't guarantee that Director Chen will use him!"

"It's okay, just treat it as gaining knowledge!"

They got into a taxi.

Shen Xudong mentioned the destination, and Brother Hu was confused: "Didn't you make an appointment with Director Chen?"

"It's only three o'clock in the afternoon. He won't have time until 7 o'clock. Let's go shopping at Chungking Mansion first!"

"okay!"

…

Chungking Mansions, "Chungking Express"…

Among all Wang Jiawei's works, most people like "Chungking Express" the most, and Shen Xudong is no exception because of the addition of the character A Fei.

"Chungking Express" is actually quite simple. The whole story revolves around the opening sentence: Every day you have the opportunity to pass by someone. You may know nothing about them, but maybe one day they will become one of yours. Friend or confidant…

It is said that the King of Sunglasses has a total of three stories in his heart. This film tells two of them, one is about broken love (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Brigitte Lin), the other is about secret love (Faye Wong and Tony Leung), and the third one became another movie - - "Fallen Angel".

Lao Hu got out of the car with the mentality of a pilgrim, looked at Chungking Mansions, and suddenly turned to Shen Xudong and said: "I don't know if there is a chance to star opposite Faye Wong!"

"She said herself that she can't act... and she doesn't like acting either!"

"But "Chungking Express" was so well acted!"

"...You want to say that Wang Jiawei took the photo well?"

Lao Hu nodded desperately: "Yeah, yeah..."

"hehe…"

"Flowers" was filmed for three years, and then there was news that it was re-shooting. In the middle, Hu acted in "County Party Committee Courtyard" and gave birth to a baby by the way...

Anyway, I have no expectations!
