Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 555
Although New Line won [-] screens for "Fast and Furious" in the United States.

But considering that "Fast and Furious" is from Xiangjiang, the actors are all of yellow race.

Therefore, the [-]-screen theater that New Line strives for is also very particular.

Most of these theaters are close to Chinatowns in major cities in the United States, as well as areas with many Chinese religions.

Not only the theaters where it was played, but even when promoting the movie, the main publicity resources were tilted towards the Chinese area.

Many bus stops near Chinatown, subway entrances and exits, outdoor billboards, and some supermarkets with a lot of people can see "Fast and Furious" posters.

New York, Queens.

Lin Hao and Huang Xiaoling finished their classes and rode their bicycles back home. April in the United States is still spring, but summer heat is approaching.

It was noon at this time, and the scorching sun shone on his body, making Lin Hao sweat all over.

Before entering the community where the two lived, the two parked their bicycles at a large convenience store at the entrance of the community.

The man Lin Hao went in to buy water, while Huang Xiaoling waited for him under the shade of the big tree next to him.

After a while, Lin Hao bought two bottles of iced soda and came back.

Passing a bottle to Huang Xiaoling, he unscrewed his own bottle, took a sip of soda into his mouth, suppressed the hot body, and then spoke.

"Let's go to the movies!"

He pointed to the huge poster banner above the convenience store not far away.

"He Jin's movie "Fast and Furious", this is one of the rare movies with an all-Chinese lineup in theaters."

Huang Xiaoling took a sip of soda and looked up.

On the huge poster, two figures stood facing each other. There were blood stains and beads of sweat on their faces, and they looked at each other fiercely.

Behind the two of them, two sports cars that had collided together were bursting into flames.

Farther away, there are overturned cars and broken glass all over the place.

It is not difficult to see from the poster that this is the scene of a large car accident.

"Who are these two stars? I don't remember these two stars in Hollywood?"

Huang Xiaoling is very unfamiliar with the two people on the poster.

"Of course you don't know. You only know how to study all day long, so you don't have time to pay attention to them."

Lin Hao said, pointing to the person on the left side of the poster and said:

"That's He Jin, the most powerful king in Xiangjiang, who has developed both film and music, and his results are very good.

He should be developing towards the United States now, and has released three records, one album and two EPs.

He is very popular in the United States now, and many people in our school know him.

The other one is also the king of Xiangjiang, named Andy Lau.

Oh, don't worry about it so much, go or not!Anyway, we have finished our cram school today, and we have nothing to do, so go support our compatriots. "

"Alright then! Relax." Huang Xiaoling nodded.

The two rode on bicycles, chatted while walking, and disappeared on the street after a while, leaving behind huge posters that continued to attract interested people to the theater.

Lin Hao and Huang Xiaoling walked into the nearest cinema and bought two tickets for "Fast and Furious".

When they came to the small movie theater, the two went directly to the third row from the bottom and sat down in the two middle seats.

One after another, people entered the theater and sat down. Lin Hao looked around while grabbing popcorn from the popcorn bucket in Huang Xiaoling's hand and feeding it to his mouth.

"It looks like the box office of this movie will be very good, so many people!"

"Isn't it all like this! Many movies are sold out when they are released, and after a bad reputation, people gradually stop watching them!"

Huang Xiaoling took a sip of Coke and said.

"What you're talking about is all movies with big American stars and Chinese stars, but there's never been such a situation.

And you see, in addition to Chinese, there are many blacks and whites. "

Lin Hao is surprised by the current situation.

In the past, it was not that there were no Chinese films released in the United States.

In the past, some North American film studios would show some Xiangjiang movies in theaters near Chinatown.

But when these films were shown, there were hardly any people there.

Even if there are, they are all Chinese.

But today, it is rare that there are more blacks and whites than Chinese.

"You've said it all, that guy named He Jin is very popular now, isn't it normal to come and see him?"

Huang Xiaoling glanced at him like a fool.

"That's right! It seems that He Jin's popularity in the United States is really very high.

Maybe, maybe we Chinese can have another superstar like Bruce Lee.

No, it should be two, and Jackie Chan..."

The ceiling lights went out, and the movie started. Lin Hao didn't think about it anymore and started watching the movie.

Time Warner Studios.

He Jin and Zhou Huimin sat quietly in their seats and waited for the film to be shown.

Because New Line Cinema spent most of the money on promotion and screen production.

So today's premiere seems a bit nondescript.

It's like a one-man show for the cast of The Fast and the Furious.

There is no foreign aid in this premiere, all the actors of the crew.

This is the first time He Jin has experienced this kind of premiere with no support.

When he was in Xiangjiang before, regardless of the investment in the film, there would be at least one or two supporting guests.

Therefore, he was not used to this premiere today.

Therefore, after going on stage to interact with some film critics and reporters who came to watch the movie, He Jin simply came down to accompany the little Jew and did not go on stage directly.

After all, New Line is not the producer of this film. Although they have the North American copyright of this film, He Jin and others are also obliged to cooperate with them.

But it is obviously impossible to imagine that the producer generally asks He Jin and other actors to do things.

Therefore, even though Xinxian hoped that He Jin would come on stage more to stir up the atmosphere, they had no choice but to give up when He Jin felt that it was unnecessary.

Two minutes later, the movie started, and everyone started watching the movie quietly.

He Jin himself is one of the screenwriters of the film, and he has watched it several times in Xiangjiang.

So instead of focusing on the movie, he focused on observing the audience.

Since this is the premiere scene, it is not feasible to watch the attendance.

The scene was full of He Jin fans and the attracted audience, and he couldn't tell who was his fan and who was not.

Therefore, if you want to understand the audience's interest in this movie, you can only look at their expressions when watching the movie.

Of course, He Jin will also focus on observing the few film critics invited by New Line Films.

Time passed, and before I knew it, most of the movie had passed.

At this time, the movie has played until the end of He Xinyang's undercover operation, and he begins to hunt down the speeding gang as a policeman.

And after He Jin's observation for about tens of minutes, he also roughly confirmed the audience's interest in this movie.

From the beginning of the movie, he only saw about a dozen people going out to use the bathroom.

And these people came back quickly, and no one left early.

At the same time, he found that most of the audience has already put their emotions into the movie.

They will be excited because of the thrilling plot in the movie, and they will show worried looks because the protagonist is in danger.

These performances of the audience made He Jin feel a little nervous.

He knew that "Fast and Furious" had succeeded.

Successfully entered the US market, and did not cause a bad viewing experience due to cultural differences.

chicago.

A "Fast and Furious" screening has come to an end.

Lakley from the "Chicago Movie News" folded his hands and stared intently at the screen.

He seems to have been drawn to the movie.

As a senior film critic struggling in the front line, watching new movies released every weekend is a must.

Even though March and April are the off-season for American movies, good movies are generally not selected for release in this season.

But Leckley still sticks to his job every weekend.
