Chapter 505 "The Night Banquet" Premiere
Zhang Jizhong started to hype again!
Probably based on the method of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" - Liu Yifei's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has mixed reviews, but this drama is indeed very popular. It not only received good results and high reviews in the Hong Kong market, but also entered the Japan, Japan and South Korea, and triggered an upsurge of discussion about "Little Dragon Girl".
"The Condor" was very popular before it was broadcast, no, it should be the online voting before filming started.
During those few months, the entertainment chief Tuao was chosen by Xiao Longnu and Yang Guo.
This time, Zhang Jizhong decided to repeat his old tricks.
It's a pity that they didn't play well. They originally wanted to hype Deng Chao, but the latter ignored them at all.
Deng Chao has terminated his contract with Pearl Culture - Tianmei Media paid 4 million to sign him directly.
Moreover, Zong Shuai was hired from Huayi to serve as his agent.
Zong Shuai did not cooperate at all with the hype of "The Deer and the Cauldron"...
I don't care about that.
If you want to hype up, no matter how little the other party responds, right?
Deng Chaobuniao... coupled with Tianya's revelation that it was 'just hype', netizens lost patience with Zhang Jizhong...
Or maybe it’s bad timing - "Soldier Assault" became a hit, but few netizens paid attention to the casting of "The Deer and the Cauldron"...
Zhang Jizhong simply made a bigger move - inviting Shen Xudong to be the producer of "The Deer and the Cauldron"...
Shen Xudong did not give Zhang Jizhong face this time: "I have no idea about "The Deer and the Cauldron", and I have not contacted the producer Zhang Jizhong in private. I personally suggest that Mr. Zhang Jizhong should focus on the TV series itself and only focus on commercial interests and ignore the work. The connotation is easily abandoned by the audience!”
"...haven't we contacted each other privately?"
"I haven't seen Teacher Zhang Jizhong in almost a year..."
"In addition to "Meteor Butterfly Sword", do you have any other martial arts shooting plans?"
"Yes!" Shen Xudong nodded: "We have obtained the copyright of "The Swordsman" and we are working on adapting it..."
"..."Swordsman"?"
"Yes, our version of "Swordsman" is based on the original work, but the protagonist is Lin Pingzhi..."
…
Well, "The Tailor" doesn't have much to promote. I didn't watch Director Chen and it only focused on interviews...
15 million in the first week, 17 million in the second week, 6 million in the third week... A scattered number of about 2.2 million in the fourth week...
After the box office exceeded 40 million, it was released very simply.
This is already a very good box office result. After all, "The Tailor" has a small investment and no big scenes.
Proved once again that Director Chen still has box office value!
He himself was quite satisfied with the play.
During the interview, he also said, "It was different from the time in "Infernal Affairs". That time I played my role and they played theirs, without any cooperation. This time I have found some feeling..."
Oh, and the supporting cast of "The Tailor" includes Zeng Jiang, Li Liqun, Deng Chao, Nie Yuan, and, yes, Huang Bo.
The heroine found Chen Hao.
It was released simultaneously in the three places across the Taiwan Strait and the box office in Hong Kong was pretty good, with 11.8 million Hong Kong dollars.
It is tied with "The Harmony of the Underworld" and "Dragon and Tiger Gate".
The key word-of-mouth is very good. According to Jiahe, it should be nominated for several Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards!
As an actor, of course I hope to win awards.
At least at this stage, mainland actors still have expectations for the Academy Awards and the like.
At that time, Jiang Wen enthusiastically went to participate in the Academy Awards - "Let the Bullets Fly" and was nominated for 13 awards including Best Actor. As a result, he was almost shaved bald by the Academy Awards judges, and the only one he won was "Best Costume Design" "This consolation prize was given to the Hong Kong people on the crew!
Since then, mainland actors have never participated in the Academy Awards again.
Well, bringing it back, when Director Chen saw Shen Xudong, he immediately greeted him: "Xiao Shen..."
"Uncle Chen...are you here too?"
"Xiao Gang has been working hard for more than a year. Of course I want to take a look..."
The two of them were at the premiere of "The Night Banquet".
…
I don’t know what to expect, but “The Night Banquet” is actually scheduled to be released on September 15th.
There is no other way, the Huayi brothers hope that "The Night Banquet" will be released quickly to recover their funds.
Why not wait for the National Day release?
"Baby Project" is already available for National Day!
Intruding in forcefully will only hurt both sides.
In fact, people who watch "The Night Banquet" mainly watch Feng Xiaogang + Ge You.
In terms of nationality alone, Zhang Ziyi is really nothing. The box office of "Jasmine Blooms" was rubbed on the ground by "The Detective of the Republic of China" - the former was 5.8 million, and the latter was over 50 million~
But they have enough style!
An international superstar!
The red carpet is always the finale...
It does have face - most of the pre-roll ads for "The Night Banquet" are from the successful Zhang Ziyi!
However, the biggest news about "The Banquet" at the premiere was the 'laughing scene'...
It's like this. Feng Xiaogang and the Huayi brothers are very confident in "The Night Banquet"-mainly for publicity, five major cities across the country have arranged screenings.
Then came the movie reviews, and the most common word was "laughter!"
"The audience laughed many times, "You are a queen, you are a mother to the world, and you still sleep under the quilt", "Even if everyone abandons him, I will not, love will not", "If we don't learn from him, our country will be great." , should be based on integrity. "…
There is also the disappointment with "The Night Banquet" and even the disappointment with Chinese blockbusters!
"The road to Chinese blockbusters seems to have gone round and round with no dawn in sight. The bamboo forest at the opening of "The Night Banquet" is very quiet, hiding murderous intentions. Zhang Ziyi's appearance in white clothes is grand and grand. The scenes of grooving, caressing, and oiling are alluring and seductive. , if no one spoke, how quiet and bright this world would be... Unfortunately, when they spoke, the taste immediately changed!"
"The film is neither Chinese nor Western, unlike Chinese movies. Feng Xiaogang was too lazy and copied the plot of "Hamlet" without any innovation."
Well, it has already received various criticisms before it was released, typical Chinese blockbuster treatment.
"Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is not a Chinese blockbuster. The director is Sammo Hung, a Hong Kong director...
At the premiere, facing the media's comments about the screening of "Laughing Scene", Feng Xiaogang said that in the past, "Since I made "Party A and Party B", everyone watched this film and said, what is this?" Is this a movie? This is a TV series, a video sketch! Feng Xiaogang doesn't know how to make movies at all.
When it came to "The Banquet", the media and critics continued to 'denounce' me, but this time it was good. No one said that I couldn't make movies, no one said that I couldn't use movie lenses, it was just a joke... It proved me. The year has been progressing. ’
Shen Xudong felt dumbfounded...
Is this sophistry?
When people ask you about your laughter, you say you are making progress?
Really awesome…
However, when faced with the media's box office forecasts, Feng Xiaogang remained silent and said very modestly, "It depends on the market's review!" ’
It's not like the premiere of "Tangshan Earthquake" at all, 'I can shoot anything, and whatever I shoot will make a box office, who can surpass me?'
Originally, it was a premiere, so I could join in the fun and help stand on stage. Anyway, "The Night Banquet" has nothing to do with Shen Xudong from beginning to end...
Then, suddenly a reporter asked: "Director Feng, I heard that Xudong was approached for the script of "The Night Banquet", but Xudong didn't accept it. Why?"
"He's right there, ask him!"
This... I'm really convinced that I'm riding a horse. Can you get me involved just by watching the fun?
