Chapter 256 "Night Club" (35)

Baldy Xu hated Yu Dong madly.

Yu Dong put "Eavesdropping" on the same day as "Night Club".

What lineup is "Night Club", what lineup is "Eavesdropping"!
Yu Dongxing probably didn't mean "Night Club", the two films may have just happened to collide.

Yu Dong also invited Cheng Yu'an to attend the premiere of "Eavesdropping", but Cheng Yu'an had already agreed to Xu Shanzheng to join "Night Club".

Cheng Yu'an sat under the stage and watched the movie, frowned and said to Xu Shan in a low voice: "It's well done, but it's too similar. Have you bought the copyright?"

Xu Shanzheng knew what Cheng Yu'an meant, and showed embarrassment, but he didn't admit it: "Coincidence, coincidence, it's all coincidence."

"Night Club" to (chao) respect (xi) South Korea "Gas Station Attack" is regarded by many as the biggest failure of this movie.

"I'll contact South Korea for you, and you can make up the formalities, otherwise it will be difficult for us to do follow-up publicity. Don't worry, it won't be very expensive." Long-distance can still talk in South Korea.

It can be seen that Xu Shanzheng doesn't actually want to reclaim the copyright, but since Cheng Yu'an said so, Xu Shanzheng can only agree with a smile.

In fact, this 300 million movie not only paid back its capital, but also made a small profit.

The box office of the original time and space was 1200 million, which is quite good in terms of return rate.

It's no funnier than "The Stone" or "Racing Cars," but it's still a comedy worth the money to walk into a theater.

At the premiere, the audience responded that some parts of the whole movie were incomprehensible: "It's more like watching a 90-minute long sketch, Coke, but it's not like a movie. Wang Xun plays a troublesome customer who blames the convenience store for service problems. There are also the two paragraphs of the record company boss recruiting Zhu Liao, although interesting, but these two plots have no meaning to the story itself, neither advancing the progress of the story nor deepening the theme of the story."

This statement made the main creators present quite embarrassed. Fortunately, Xu Shanzheng responded quickly. As the producer, he immediately said: "Actually, the only purpose of our making this comedy is to make everyone laugh happily. As long as everyone feels It's a funny movie, as long as it's funny."

Xu Shanzheng doesn't have much appeal in the film industry now, and he speaks very humblely.

Before the screening, Yang Qing said humbly: "Although the film has already been screened at the Shanghai Film Festival, but this time I am more nervous because all the people present are insiders. I hope everyone will be more tolerant and don't report too high expectations."

However, there are still a small number of viewers who have watched "Gas Station Attack". Judging from the reaction of the audience at the premiere, the praise is still in the majority.

Famous film critic Zhou Liming also repeatedly said "It's very funny".

This year's summer season, there are many types of films, including science fiction, comedy, animation, fantasy, and main theme plots. Including "Night Club", there are three light comedies, one is released in mid-August, and Zhang Ziyi is the first to make it The movie "Perfect", and the other one is "The Secret Detective Lingling Dog", which was released a week later than "Night Club".

Looking at the works of these Hong Kong directors who went northward at the beginning of the century, from "Zero Zero Dog" to "XX Happy Events" series, and then to "Macao Wind and Cloud", all of them are frying cold rice, consuming the feelings of Hong Kong Island's nonsensical comedy in the mainland.

But it's not funny!

Especially in "Zero Zero Dog", Wang Jing made a fuss about it:

"Before filming "Linglingfa" with Zhou Xingxing left regrets, so we are making this movie now. Gu Zai is the best candidate for Li Linglinggou in my mind."

He also praised Goo Jai as "after Zhou Xingxing, the best comedy actor on Hong Kong Island."

Just ignore it and blow with your eyes closed.

If you say that Wang Jing has no talent, then you are not black enough.

Cheng Yu'an's positioning of him is: "A director of commercial films with an extremely clear mind."

Are you saying he doesn't know his movie is bad?
Obviously impossible, but he is very clear about his position, which is to make money.

If art is not art, get out first, he knows it himself: "In the film industry, nothing is a capital offense, you can do anything, you get money, you pick up female stars, you come in late and leave early, you swear at others and lift the table, everything is fine, there is only one thing. Capital crime is not selling money. What you did before, as long as you sell money, everyone will forgive you. If you don’t sell money, you are living a life of a saint, which is useless, and no one will ask you to film. This is the most direct and simple truth.”

Illegal crime is of course another matter.

You see, he knows it very well!

So it doesn't matter how everyone calls him a bad movie, he sold it for money!
There will also be a lot of people sending money to him for filming.

You scold him for making bad movies, but you know how happy he is when he counts money at home!
Speaking of "Night Club", the film was screened at the Shanghai Film Festival before, and the seats were packed, even the aisles were full of people, and the response was very good.

As the leading actor, Xu Shanzheng said: "When encountering such a script, even if the box office prospects may not be good, he will participate again. He really has no complaints or regrets."

"Whether it is professional film critics or ordinary audiences, they all gave very good evaluations. I am very satisfied, and I am more gratified than the success of the box office."

In fact, don't look at the bald head on the stage, but in fact he is under a lot of pressure.

Needless to say, "Eavesdropping" was released on the same day as him. On this day, there was also a Hong Kong Island cartoon, "McDull is Loud".

Same goes for comedy.

This is the fourth film in the "McDull" series, and it is also the first "McDull" to be released in the mainland.

Faced with the attack of two Hong Kong films, let alone "Zero Dog" which will be released next week, the creator of "Night Club" is actually quite nervous.

After exchanging a few words with Yang Qing and Xu Shanzheng at the scene, and praising "Night Club" to the reporter, Cheng Yu'an left early.

"How did he leave?" Li Xiaolu asked backstage at the premiere.

"It's because of China Film Group's face that he can come, you still want him to stay with us for a long time." Xu Shan argued.

"I still want to chat with him." Li Xiaolu muttered.

Xu Shanzheng gave her a meaningful look, knowing that this girl had a lot of eyes, so he didn't say much.

After Cheng Yu'an returned, he started to arrange the promotion of "The Wind".

In fact, Cheng Yu'an does not need to personally intervene in the specific publicity work, but the movie "The Wind" is Cheng Yu'an's work, so the company can't help but ignore it.

"The box office of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" should not be too high." Cheng Lingfeng said, "It's not like I haven't made gift films before, and they all look like they are in the early [-] million."

If Cheng Yu'an hadn't read the answer, he would think so too.

"When will "The Founding of a Country" be released?"

"May 9."

"Let's delay it by two weeks, on the 29th as originally planned."

"As for?" Cheng Lingfeng wanted to raise the file.

"Golden Harvest has been notified to guarantee 80% of the filming of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"."

"Isn't this nonsense? How can someone give such an order?" Cheng Lingfeng was very dissatisfied with the high-level pressure to arrange the film.

"Don't complain, this film has an all-star lineup, and the finished film is not bad. It clearly states that we must set a benchmark for the main theme." Although Cheng Yu'an also has grudges about this, but he is used to the operations of later generations, so he doesn't take it too seriously.

"Then how much box office do you think "The Founding of a Nation" can make?"

"Let's make a base of 4 million, maybe it will reach [-] million."

Cheng Yuan knew that the original time and space of "The Founding of a Country" reached 4.3 million, but he didn't talk too much. What if "The Wind" really affected the box office of "The Founding of a Country"?
"It will be so high?" Cheng Lingfeng obviously didn't believe it, "Then our "Wind Voice" was used as cannon fodder for it?"

"Transformers 2" just broke the record of 4.2 million, and "Founding of the People's Republic of China" can reach 4 million?
"It's okay, we will promote and release normally. In the current market, the National Day file can accommodate two blockbuster films."
