Chapter 116 The premiere scene
"Despicable Street" has been screened in Hong Kong Island.

Preliminary statistics show that the island's box office is 2400 million, ranking second in the mainland, and it really can't break through "Initial D".

Unexpectedly, "Despicable Street" performed well in the three Southeast Asian countries.

There is actually an income of 2000 million.

Sound Emperor is of course happy!

The downturn of "A Thousand Machines 2" has been wiped out.

There was a celebration banquet when it was released on Hong Kong Island. We don’t know what to celebrate at the box office of 4400 million.

After the 10.1 holiday, "Despicable Street" was released in the mainland.

Of course Cheng Yu'an wanted to help out on the platform. Not only did he come, he also brought Cheng Er, Jing Tian, ​​Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Xu Shanzheng and Tao Hong.

Speaking of Xu Shanzheng and Tao Hong, Ning Hao originally wanted to invite Tao Hong to star in "Crazy Stone" and sent her the script, but after reading the script with a bald head, he liked it so much that he wanted to act it desperately.

Ning Hao said: "My budget for this play is only 400 million, I can't afford you."

The bald head directly stated that he would act without paying, but Ning Hao had no way (hen) to do (kai) (xin), so he could only be recruited into the group.

This couple, looking at the resumes, both are protagonist templates.

Xu Shanzheng graduated in 94 and entered the Shanghai Drama Art Center. In 98, he won the Best Actor in Magnolia at the age of 26; in 00, "Brilliant Spring Pig Bajie" became popular all over the country; in 01, he won the Zuolin Drama Best Actor Award; and then Starred in "Li Wei as an Official", and personally acted as the director of the second part. In the same year, he starred in the first time-travel drama "Love Through Time and Space" in the Mainland, which caused a frenzy of ratings.

If Xu Shanzheng is the male protagonist, then his wife Tao Hong is simply a sweet girl, the kind that no novel can write.

He joined the Beijing Huayou Team at the age of 11 and the national team at the age of 15. In his career as an athlete, he has also won national and world-level awards.

After retiring, her debut novel was "Sunny Day" by Mazi. She was 21 years old that year.

Before the age of 30, she won the best heroine of Huabiao, Golden Rooster, Feitian, Baihua and Golden Eagle.

Cheng Yu'an came to the premiere of "Despicable Street" and had another important task - to promote "Sunflower" and "Crazy Stone".

Although the filming of the two dramas has not officially started yet, at least they have to show their faces in front of the reporters.

"The two films will open next month. "Sunflower" is a film of the 'New Star Guide Project', escorted by Long-distance, Yingyi Entertainment and Guangliang; "Crazy Stone" is a new film of the company. The two films will be in The mainland and Hong Kong Island will be screened simultaneously."

"Of course I am optimistic. I think these two films will definitely surprise everyone next year." Cheng Yu'an talked carefully to the reporters, and did not forget to ask Cheng Er and Ning Hao to bring their actors to the interview.

"The later stage of "Clues of Time and Space" has been completed, and it will be submitted for review next month. If everything goes well, I will meet you in January."

"Is "The Promise" finalized?" A reporter asked Chen Kaige, "When is it scheduled?"

"December 12." A reporter replied.

"It's pretty good." Cheng Yu'an replied.

""King Kong" is scheduled to be released on the 24th, does Director Cheng think that "King Kong" will have any important impact on domestic films for this year's Lunar New Year?" the reporter asked.

"King Kong" is one of the rare Hollywood blockbusters that is placed in the Lunar New Year file.

"There must be an influence, but we have to trust the director of Kaige." Although Cheng Yu'an already knew the answer, he still had to say this on the scene, ""The Promise" is the leading blockbuster among domestic films in terms of cast and production scale. The director of the opening song can keep the Lunar New Year file."

This year's Lunar New Year, except for Chen Kaige's "The Promise", several major directors were collectively absent.

The General Administration originally wanted to put "Clues of Time and Space" on the 22nd, which is 2 days before the release of King Kong.

Cheng Yu'an is not stupid!
He remembered that "The Promise" was the national box office champion of Yuan Shikong this year, and "King Kong" was the runner-up. Although he didn't know how "Clues of Time and Space" would perform, he wanted to use himself as cannon fodder to test "King Kong"?There is no door either!
Cheng Yu'an pushed back the General Administration's proposal on the grounds that "Clues to Time and Space" was still in the final stage and could not be released in December.

By the way, another long-distance film, "Old Thousand" starring Qin Hailu and Hu Ge was also screened on Hong Kong Island, and it is expected to enter the mainland next month.

A gambling film is really not suitable for the Lunar New Year file.

Back to Mean Streets.

Director Chen Jiashang seems to have returned to the high-spirited 90s.

The box office of Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia exceeds 4000 million, and it is just like a dream.

Embracing the mainland is indeed the right choice.

Wu Azu has gained a lot of fans in the mainland because of "New Police Story". At today's premiere, eight out of ten audience members are Azu's fans.

The little girls competed one by one with enthusiasm.

Wu Azu also yelled very hard at the scene, basically responding to requests.

You mean Cheng Yu'an?
He is a behind-the-scenes director who has a fart popularity.

In 10 days, another gangster movie "Underworld" on Hong Kong Island will be screened simultaneously on Hong Kong Island and the Mainland.

The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or in May this year.

The crowd in the island was excited for a while, and was regarded by the Sound Emperor as the biggest opponent of "Despicable Street" this year.

But in Cheng Yu'an's memory, "Underworld" has won many awards, and he has won all kinds of golden horses and statues, but the box office doesn't seem to be very good.

So Cheng Yu'an was not worried at all that "Underworld" would threaten the box office of "Despicable Street".

Another one is that the acceptance of gangster films by mainland audiences is just that way. You can think about it if it is less than 2000 million, but it is difficult to reach more than 2000 million.

Cheng Yuan is not pessimistic about the performance of "Despicable Street" in the mainland, but she does not have high expectations. This story was originally written for Hong Kong audiences.

The prediction in his heart is 1500 million to 2000 million.

Today's protagonist is "Despicable Street". After Cheng Yu'an briefly introduced "Crazy Stone" and "Sunflower", he gave up the interview opportunity to Chen Jiashang and Wu Azu.

"This is a very different gangster movie," Chen Jiashang said in an interview before the screening, "I can tell you in advance that the biggest feature of "Despicable Street" is its authenticity. I know that many young audiences in the mainland like to watch it. The brotherhood in "Young and Dangerous", but what I want to say is that "Despicable Street" will overthrow this setting. The real gangsters are not like that, they are very cruel.

"Before I came to the mainland, I specifically asked Zheng Yimian and Xiaochun, and they regretted making "Young and Dangerous". They knew that many children imitated the plots in "Young and Dangerous" after watching "Young and Dangerous", and felt that it was for children. set a bad example.

""Despicable Street" will give everyone a different gangster, and everyone will know it after watching it."

More, Chen Jiashang is unwilling to say.

When Wu Azu talked about his filming of "Despicable Street", he said: "There are a lot of action scenes, and it hurts every day when I finish work."

"This is normal. It's like this when shooting action scenes. Everyone is injured."

"I'm okay, I won't really fight, but there will always be times when I'm not careful."

"In terms of box office, I definitely hope it can be better. After all, our crew is working hard on this film."
