Chapter 563: Surprise, the Industry Knows Nothing (Asking for Monthly Votes)
""Pursuit of Fire" is probably the biggest hit of 2028. It was originally going to be released during the Spring Festival, but it finally chose to air on May 1st."
"Yeah, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, if all the blockbusters are scheduled for the Spring Festival, then do they need other schedules?"
"That's why I chose the May 1st schedule for "Pursuit of Fire". I'm really very responsible."
…
As more and more people discuss it, the industry now regards "Pursuit of Fire" as a bailout for theaters.
Major marketing accounts and so-called movie influencers have a minimum box office forecast of 2 billion for "Pursuit of Fire".
There are also many people who feel a bit regretful. They feel that if "The Wire" were released on National Day or Spring Festival, the guaranteed box office would have been 3 billion.
But the more this happens, the more it proves the confidence of the movie "Pursuit of Fire".
Even Chen Sheng said in an interview: "I don't think the schedule will affect the movie box office, because as long as the movie is good, any schedule is a good schedule."
In a word, everything can be broken if the movie is good.
Even Liu Yunxia said in an interview: "I'm afraid this movie will really be my last action movie. I'm going to retire after filming this one."
Good guy.
A kung fu emperor said that "Pursuit of Fire" will be his last action movie.
A kung fu hero later said that "The Wire" was his last movie.
You say, how could this Xuanfa start to remember the past without exerting all his strength? ?
Many people say that kung fu movies are indeed dead, just like their childhood can never go back, but they still go to the cinema to watch "The Wire" anyway, as if they are buying a ticket for their childhood.
Major marketing accounts are adding topics to promote it.
Kang Hai, the director of "Pursuit of Fire", still said: "Kung Fu movies will not die. This time I want everyone to watch an authentic Kung Fu movie, a movie that is enjoyable from beginning to end."
You must know that Kang Hai and Chen Sheng collaborated many times back then. It was a golden era of kung fu movies.
Now Kang Hai has retired for many years and continues to direct, and Chen Sheng has made too many bad movies, but many people are still looking forward to the two of them working together again.
Kang Hai + Chen Sheng were once the guarantee of box office.
In addition, "Pursuit of Fire" also invited a lot of actors to guest star, many of whom wanted to make a contribution to Kung Fu movies.
With Kang Hai directing and Chen Sheng's popularity in the industry, let's put it this way, this movie really invited most of the action movie actors.
Even Hong Fei played a small role in "The Wire" and had a few scenes.
As for most actors who are over 50 years old, you must know that many capable actors are even over 70 years old.
A bunch of old guys are trying their best to push Kung Fu movies further.
At present, "Fire Chase" has only released one trailer. Apart from Chen Sheng and Liu Yunxia, An Yifeng has the most trailers.
She fights with Chen Sheng, she fights with Liu Yunxia, they are simply heroic.
In the past few years, An Yifeng has jumped into the film industry, but the movies she has shot are either campus youth movies, urban beauty movies, or workplace movies. One of them is a costume movie and there are not many fight scenes. This makes many people I forgot how awesome An Yifeng's fighting scenes are.
An Yifeng was once called Liu Yunxia's successor.
For this reason, the response to this trailer can be said to be very good.
"An Yifeng should really make more action movies like this, she's so handsome."
"Yeah, while you can still fight now, if you don't make some action movies, how can you make them when you get older??"
"If nothing else, I want to support this movie just because of An An."
…
At this time, An Yifeng's value was revealed.
Her traffic is still huge.
Even An Yifeng's cooperation with the announcement basically made the hot search explode, mainly because An Yifeng is indeed heroic enough in the trailer.
The current announcement of "Pursuit of Fire" is quite successful, especially the first trailer. Although everyone can't tell what the plot is, An Yifeng's performance is very brilliant and bright.
At the same time, the premiere of "The Wire" has also been scheduled for Sunday, April 23.
In addition, after the premiere, "The Wire" will be screened from the 24th to the 27th.
However, "Hot Streets" also announced that its premiere date would be April 23, but it was not screened.
On the contrary, it took a day to file.
Previously, everyone had set the date for April 28th, but then "Hot Streets" chose to move up the schedule for one day and start filming directly on the afternoon of April 27th.
Faced with this operation, everyone felt that these two movies were really worth it.
"What do you want to do in "The Streets of Fire"??"
As a promotional staff member of "Pursuit of Fire", he seemed a little angry: "Why do you keep riding on our popularity??"
"Yes, it's so irritating. Fortunately, Brother Sheng and Director Kang are real people, and they even helped them speak."
"Obviously we had already chosen to premiere on the 23rd, but as a result, they decided to premiere on April 23rd as well."
"Not only that, but they still moved up the release date by one day."
…
In the conference room, everyone was discussing this matter.
This time, the main publicity and promotion of "Fire Pursuit" was done by Bohai Film and Television, which is also the largest investor.
This "Fire Pursuit" is the most important project of Bohai Film and Television in 2028. They believe that it can completely kill all sides during the May Day period.
Bohai Film and Television did not take the movie "Hot Street" too seriously, because not many people in the industry can appreciate this movie.
A TV show that overturned, a movie that was directly overturned by Yuan Yu, who can appreciate it? ?
But what Bohai Film and Television did not expect was that "Hot Street" also chose the May Day period.
Of course, from the perspective of Bohai Film and Television, "Hot Street" is just here to get attention.
However, there is no effect of fighting now. After all, the market is almost dead, so why fight at this time? ?
Just look at Chen Sheng and Kang Hai when they were asked about the release date of "Hot Street".
Not only that, Bohai Film and Television also tried not to make it too embarrassing during the promotion.
Because "Fireline Pursuit" is completely not in the same league as "Hot Street".
However, Bohai Film and Television did not expect "Hot Street" to be so shameless.
The premiere was also chosen on the same day.
This intention of competing is too obvious.
Do you really want to fight? ?
Hong Jun, the vice president of Bohai Film and Television, said to everyone: "Lin Xing is not such a person, and I also know their publicity Meng Yan, so it's just a coincidence."
"Boss Hong, how can this be such a coincidence?"
Some people are unhappy: "I think this Lin Xing is just disgusting us, isn't it because you rejected his investment in "Death on Earth"? ?"
Hearing this, Hong Jun laughed: "Do you think this is a child's play? ? Who would disgust others with their own projects? ?"
The person in charge of publicity and promotion was a little puzzled: "Then Boss Hong, what do you mean?"
"The premiere is not on the same day. Since "Hot Street" has been advanced by one day, then we will also advance the premiere of "Fireline Pursuit" by one day... …”
Hong Jun laughed: “It’s the premiere on Saturday, and then it will be screened on Sunday…”
Speaking of this, Hong Jun said: “I will personally call Lin Xing to invite him to attend our premiere, just to help us promote it.”
The publicity director was stunned, and then suddenly said: “In my opinion, we should not only invite Lin Xing, we can definitely invite their crew to attend the premiere…”
“That’s not necessary.”
Hong Jun shook his head and said: “We don’t need to cooperate with their crew, because if we cooperate, we will only suffer. What level are they? ?”
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Hong Jun said this with confidence.
Everyone thinks it’s okay.
Even if “Hot Street” is directed by Wei Lu, even if this movie has Lin Xing and Xue Ping, it is still far from “Fireline Pursuit”.
…
The crew of “Charlotte’s Troubles”.
The stage has been set. This is a scene in which Charlotte loses control in the crew. The loss of control is due to Charlotte’s own guilty conscience.
How to say it? ?
When you are a plagiarist and find that the person whose work you plagiarized has come to you and is singing the song that originally belonged to the person but was plagiarized by you, you will also feel guilty.
Originally, Lin Xing wanted to invite four pirated singers to shoot. This scene was very simple. Xia Luo organized a talent show variety show "China's Good Songs", and then found that the king Liu Chengming, who he plagiarized, was also a contestant in the talent show variety show.
Of course he was panicked.
Because all the songs he plagiarized were Liu Chengming's, so he was angry and beat Liu Chengming.
But this scene was shot by the four real singers invited by Tong Xuan, so this is an easter egg.
The set was kept absolutely confidential.
It was just a few minutes of play, and these four did not need to speak lines, so the shooting went quite smoothly.
But after the shooting was completed, Lin Xing invited everyone to record a small behind-the-scenes video together.
After the shooting was completed, Lin Xing invited the four people and Tong Xuan to have a meal together, and once again expressed his gratitude to everyone.
At the same time, Lin Xing gave each of the four bosses a big red envelope. He said that this was the crew's rule, and even if they were guest stars, they had to give a red envelope.
Because he knew that they were going to play mahjong next, Lin Xing said that he had sent the red envelope to the mahjong room reserved by Tong Xuan.
Originally, the four bosses didn't think much about it. They came here just for Sister Tong and didn't plan to ask for any red envelopes at all.
They even thought that since Lin Xing said to give one, they would take it. It was nothing more than tens of thousands of yuan.
They didn't look down on this little money, but this was also considered that Lin Xing knew how to behave.
As a result, when they came to the mahjong room, they were a little surprised when they found that each person's red envelope was 100,000 yuan.
"Sister Tong, it's really not much, it's really not much. You came to guest star and helped a lot..."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "To be able to gather five bosses at once, to be honest, it's not something that can be invited with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just have fun."
This is the truth.
Let’s not talk about other people, just take the queen Dong Fei’er for example, there are so many variety shows that offer sky-high salaries but no one cares.
As for the other three, they basically only sing and hold concerts, and never participate in any lifestyle variety shows, nor do they guest-star in movies or TV series, so how can their appearance fees be low? ?
Lin Xing gave a red envelope of 100,000 yuan, which was not too much.
Moreover, Lin Xing was right, because these people were the Easter eggs in "Charlotte's Troubles".
It's a pity that Lin Xing couldn't invite Liu Chengming to play, otherwise the comedy effect would be even more explosive.
But this is enough.
"Mr. Hong..."
Just after Lin Xing hung up Tong Xuan's call, he received a call from Hong Jun.
"Axing, we are competitors again this time, you have to show mercy."
Hong Jun said with a smile.
Lin Xing shook his head and said, "Mr. Hong, what are you talking about? How can my movie be a competitor with you?"
"Ah Xing, you are too modest. I originally wanted to invite you to the premiere on the 23rd, but I didn't expect you to schedule the premiere on the 23rd, so I changed it..."
Hong Jun smiled and said, "How about it? Are you free to attend the premiere of our play on the 22nd?"
"Yes."
Lin Xing laughed, "It's just a coincidence. Hong Fei called me and said he wanted to invite me to the premiere, but I couldn't get away. But since you changed it, I will definitely go..."
"Okay, see you then."
Hong Jun hung up the phone, but the smile on his face disappeared. He asked the publicity department, "Do you think Lin Xing really doesn't care or is he confident?"
The publicity department frowned, "Mr. Hong, what do you mean?"
"Of course It's the movie "Hot Street". "
Hong Jun said unhappily: "Lin Xing seems to be quite confident about this movie, and Lin Xing has never failed in the film industry. He won't really release another big satellite in the end, right? ? "
"Mr. Hong, you just said that this is absolutely impossible. The industry is not optimistic about "Hot Street"..."
"Don't mention this. The industry is not optimistic about Lin Xing's previous and the previous movie? Now I understand that the industry, the industry, the industry knows nothing..."
Hong Jun thought for a while and said: "We can look down on "Hot Street", but we must pay attention to the publicity, and schedule the screening of "Hot Street" as much as possible, especially our theaters should schedule as little "Hot Street" as possible..."
Obviously, Hong Jun has worked with Lin Xing after all, and he thinks he knows Lin Xing, so he thinks it's better to be cautious at this time.
The main thing is that the movie "Fire Pursuit" must not fail.
In the next few days, not only did "Hotline Pursuit" begin to promote, but "Hot Street" also began.
