Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 556 You Stop Singing, We Come On Stage (4k)

For the entire April of this year, the biggest publicity in terms of scale is undoubtedly Bo Wei, that is, Disney's "Love at Second Sight".

But if it is said that it has received attention, it is He Jin's "Fast and Furious".

As the first film of a popular singer entering Hollywood, it naturally received a lot of attention.

And it happened to be the time when He Jin was popular recently, which made this movie attract more attention.

Lekley had become interested in the film, which was said to be setting off a drag racing frenzy in Asia, weeks earlier.

It is different from other film critics who like literary movies and movies that reflect social reality.

Leckley is a lover of commercial films.

In his opinion, they are all movies, and commercial movies are no worse than literary movies.

Therefore, if you look at his film reviews, you will find that he never expresses opinions on those literary films, but on commercial films, but any film that is loved by the audience and has a big box office data will have his film reviews.

Colleagues say that Lakeley is a garbage film critic who just has bad money.

Audiences, on the other hand, will say that Lakeley is a critic who really knows what they, the audience, like.

A Los Angeles film critic named Murray once said in his column:

"If you like literature and art, please pay attention to the Venice International Film Festival in Italy, the Cannes International Film Festival in France, and the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany. These film festivals can satisfy all your literary hobbies.

If you are after popcorn movies and like brainless movies, then you should pay attention to Lakley.

Because he was chasing that shit like a fly. "

The shit here is talking about pure popcorn movies with no literary value.

This is the language that the film critic satirized Lakeley.

From here, it can be seen how unpopular Lakeley is with his peers.

However, although Lakeley was ridiculed by his peers, it did not prevent him from living a good life.

Yes, he lived a very good life. It can even be said that his life is much more nourishing than that of ordinary film critics.

He is the ace film critic of the Chicago Film Review.

Each of his film reviews is widely loved by the audience.

Because, with him, audiences don't have to be afraid of not being able to understand his film reviews.

Don't worry about going to see a movie because of his recommendation, and it turns out that the movie has very good reviews, but the movie is a boring literary film.

And the sales of film review column newspapers are good, which naturally makes Lekley more interested in this industry.

Almost as long as a commercial film is released, regardless of the investment or the cast, Lekley will watch it in person and write a film review.

That's why, without being invited by New Line, Lekley appeared here.

bang...

The sound of explosions in the film spread through the sound system at the top of the theater.

Under that sound, the whole theater seemed to vibrate.

There is a reason why Laomei movies always have such a high box office.

In addition to the generally better living conditions of Americans, one of the reasons is that their theater facilities are better than those of other countries.

Just like this cinema, a very ordinary cinema.

But all kinds of facilities are perfect, and the sound quality is impeccable.

Although it is not 3D that has not yet appeared, but under the influence of various facilities, it is easy for people to bring emotions into the film.

Lekley didn't pay attention to the vibration, he was used to it.

His eyes were fixed on the screen.

It was already the end of the film, and the two protagonists were fighting passionately.

The kind of punching to the flesh, but the scene with the shadow of Chinese Kung Fu deeply attracted Leckley.

With He Xinyang, played by He Jin, leading the police to arrest the drug dealers he got information when he was undercover, the whole film also came to an end.

Looking at the last few English words "See you in the next episode" on the screen.

"Not bad, very good!" Lakley couldn't help but nodded, "Not bad, it's a worthwhile trip, it's a good movie!"

The past few years have been the heyday of Hong Kong movies, and Lakely also often watches Hong Kong movies.

But there has never been a Hong Kong film that made him linger so much like this "Fast and Furious".

If he was asked to evaluate in one sentence, he would have only one sentence.

"This is an excellent movie that combines the essence of Hong Kong movies with the advantages of Hollywood popcorn movies."

"This film must be highly recommended in the column."

The audience in the theater had already left in groups, and many audience members were discussing the plot of the movie and the exciting racing scene in the movie.

But Lakley didn't move, he was still thinking about the last fight just now in his mind.

That unprecedented street fight.

Whether it's He Jin's sharp movements, or Andy Lau's expression that is bound to kill you, all of them are clearly imprinted in his mind.

After a while, the entire theater was almost deserted, and Lekley stood up and walked out. He had already made up his mind that tomorrow's column must focus on recommending this movie.

new York.

Lin Hao and Huang Xiaoling walked out of the theater.

"How about it, isn't this movie good! He Jin is so cool, you didn't see the surprised expressions of those white people and black people." Lin Hao walked back and looked at Huang Xiaoling.

He had a proud look on his face.

There are also Chinese Americans making movies in Hollywood.

But there was never a big star.

Of course, Bruce Lee doesn't count.

Now He Jinda is soaring to the sky and becoming a Hollywood superstar, which makes Lin Hao, who is a Chinese, very proud.

"I don't really like this type of movie, I like romance movies.

It was a good movie, though, because I didn't fall asleep! "

Huang Xiaoling said with a smile.

After a pause, she said again: "The episode in it is also very nice, what's it called? Oh! It's called "Fairy Tale"

Before you said that He Jin is still a big singer, I didn't believe it at first, but after listening to that episode, I finally believed it. "

"Hey, I told you a long time ago that he is a great talent, and his songs are very nice.

It is said that there is also a Chinese version of this song. I will go to Taotao another day to see if I can find a Chinese version. Then I will give you a copy. "

Lin Hao said beamingly.

The movie "Fast and Furious" was released in Xiangjiang in the first half of last year.

The reason why it took almost a year to release in the United States.

In addition to the slow response of the new line, the main reason is that the film needs to be re-dubbed and trimmed to a certain extent.

In addition to the language of the characters in it being changed to English, He Jin also took the initiative to sing an English version of the song "Legend".

The English version of "Legend" is "Fairy Tale" by Huang Xiaoling.

The song is adapted from "Legend" by Mike Rockology.

The melody of the whole song has not been changed, only the words have been changed.

Lin Hao and Huang Xiaoling chatted and laughed, and rode their bicycles back.

"Huh? Why did you go? I just went to find you, but you are not at home. I was going out to find you!"

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the community, the two were stopped by a figure.

The person who stopped them was Lin Hao's neighbor Zhou Rui. He grew up with Lin Hao and Huang Xiaoling and had a very good relationship.

In addition, like Lin Hao, he has a crush on Huang Xiaoling.

"Ha ha!"

Lin Hao glanced at Huang Xiaoling quietly, then looked at Zhou Rui proudly, "I didn't do anything, I just went shopping."

"The cram school ended early today, and a new movie just happened to be released, so I went to watch it.

It's a good movie, you can watch it if you're interested. "

Huang Xiaoling, who was next to her, glanced at Lin Hao, and spoke proactively.

"Xiaoling, you actually recommended movies on your own initiative!"

When Zhou Rui heard Huang Xiaoling's recommendation, he immediately became interested.

The law of dog licking, the movie that the girl you like, you must watch it again, this will allow the two of you to have more conversations.

……

Targeted publicity and accurate audience positioning gradually came into play. As more and more viewers watched "Fast and Furious", the word-of-mouth effect spread rapidly.

Not only among Chinese, but also among whites and blacks, "Fast and Furious" has also been highly praised.

The thrilling drag racing scenes deeply stimulated the psychology of these adventurous guys.

So it spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and more and more people became interested in this film.

And in the eyes of some film critics who haven't had a good movie released for a month or two, this movie is simply a thirst quencher.

In the case of New Line and no money, these film critics actually took the initiative to advertise for "Fast and Furious".

This was completely unexpected by He Jin.

He knew how difficult Laomei and these film critics were to deal with.

In the United States, which advocates freedom of speech, if these guys don't like a certain movie, it can directly scold you.

Originally, He Jin was well prepared to receive the abuse from those dung-mouthed film critics.

But the development of things turned all his preparations into empty talk.

On Sunday, the second day after "Fast and Furious" was released, "Fast and Furious" appeared in the column recommendations of many well-known filmmakers.

Good reviews, almost unanimously.

"Heavy recommendation, another exciting movie after "Speed".

Unlike "Speed ​​​​of Life and Death", the excitement is stimulated by the safety of passengers.

The excitement of this "Fast and Furious" comes from the emotional ups and downs of drag racing
When you look at the characters on the screen, you can't help but bring yourself in, imagining that you are driving an expensive sports car.

And someone behind you is aiming at you with a gun. You just need to slow down and your head will pop like a watermelon. "

"As I said before the movie came out, it was going to blow your mind.

Many people may think that He Jin can only sing, he is just a professional singer like Michael Jackson.

But I tell you, no, it's not.

This guy He Jin has made nearly a dozen movies in Xiangjiang. He is a veteran, a guy who knows as much about movies as anyone else. "

"Not much nonsense, I strongly recommend "Fast and Furious".

This is a movie that is sure to shine, and you'll regret it if you don't watch it.

As everyone knows, I have such a small bladder that I almost have to go to the toilet more than three times every time I watch a movie.

But, you guys can't even imagine how many times I went to the toilet while watching "The Fast and the Furious".

Once, just once.I still can't imagine how I got through it.

For the sake of my bladder, I strongly recommend everyone to watch it in the theater. "

On Saturday, almost all the film reviews that can be seen are positive.

These good reviews seem to be brushed out.

A media newspaper under Bowei published a large article criticizing New Line Films for this, saying that they have no limit for the box office and manipulated the news of film critics.

The news caused a certain stir on Sunday afternoon.

It makes many viewers who want to watch "Fast and Furious" hesitate after seeing the film reviews.

And this incident made Xinxian extremely furious.

They were wronged.

They have invested more than one million US dollars in promotional fees for the film "Fast and Furious", which was purchased from Xiangjiang.

Coupled with the expenses of film arrangement, how much money can they have for film critics.

Even if it's plugged in, they can't catch all the film critics in the United States!

In this era dominated by traditional media, no one can ignore the influence of newspapers, magazines, radio, and television.

Film critics rooted in these media can often influence the final direction of a film's box office.

New Line Cinema must have pumped some money into the film critics for public relations.

But with He Jin's understanding of their tenacious personalities, they should at most win over some second-tier film critics from local tabloids.

As for first-line film critics, these people tend to cherish their feathers, and it is impossible for people to appreciate the cake if it is too small.

And the United States is so big, big newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and TVs are counted in thousands.

With so much media, who can dominate their mouths?

It's okay to say in the East.

But this is the West, and this is great freedom-loving America.

Even the White House cannot control so much media, let alone the small New Line Cinema.

If New Line could have done this, it would not have been acquired by Time Warner.

Therefore, the new line needs no explanation at all, and as time goes by, this matter will be solved by itself.

And the news that criticized New Line for manipulating film critics did not last long.

On the second day alone, news broke about New Line Cinema's manipulation of film critics.

Because of the bad reviews of "Fast and Furious".

This bad review is not one, but a bunch, all together.

In order for film critics to succeed, apart from having a good understanding of film knowledge, another factor is shamelessness.

No matter what the movie is, as long as you have a thick skin and know how to get popular, it's a very simple matter to have a meal.

For film critics, hype is also very particular.

They tend not to go with the masses.

Just like this time, the day before, most film critics were giving "Fast and Furious" praise.

On the second day, which is Monday.

All over the United States, a lot of critics suddenly jumped out to criticize the "Fast and Furious" movie.

"This so-called Asia's first thrilling drag racing movie started off okay, the background of the two protagonists and the cast of villains were well formed.

But in the later stage, the characters in this film are all reduced to a foil to follow the story.

Except for the big villain, the other characters are all like robots being led away.

In addition, the whole film has been racing, racing, and the roar of the car made my ears hurt.

This is a bad movie that I want to leave immediately after half watching it. "
