Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2201 Don't Look
Although they worked hard on publicity, the crew of "Human Purge" was very low-key. Yu Yunkang had already returned to Xiangjiang to rest after the post-production was over.

Even though "Human Purge Project" is a movie he and Oliver Stone co-directed, in most cases, Oliver Stone has the final say, and Yu Yunkang is only responsible for assisting.

But even so, Yu Yunkang is still very happy to get this opportunity to cooperate with Hollywood, which has benefited him a lot.

At least he has learned a lot of ideas and experience in Hollywood film making during this study, and he feels that he has improved a lot in this regard.

As the director of "The Purge of Humanity", Oliver Stone did not accept too many interviews with reporters this time, because he didn't need to worry about publicity at all, and Oliver Stone felt that he was not in the "Purge of Human Beings" drama. Too good to stand out and do too much publicity.

Although in his opinion, this is a good movie that can give everyone some anti-violence enlightenment, but if you only look at the surface and don't go deep into the connotation of this movie, it will really violate Lin Daoqiu's filming of this movie. original intention.

If this is just a movie about killing, then Oliver Stone will not and cannot take over this movie, let alone think how good the script written by Lin Daoqiu is.

It is precisely because the connotation of the play "Human Purge Project" is similar to what he said in "Platoon" before him, so Oliver Stone will like the script of "Human Purge Project" and exhausted his energy. good shot.

Lin Daoqiu gave it a screen of 2000 yuan for the premiere of "Human Purge Project". After all, this is not a movie suitable for all ages to watch, so a large part of people have to be excluded from the beginning.

Moreover, the production cost of this movie is only 2000 million U.S. dollars, and it is still an R-rated movie (recommended for audiences over 17 years old). At most, you can only get a screen that costs at most 1000 yuan.

When it came to the premiere day of "The Purge", there was already a long queue outside the theater to buy tickets, and even couples came together.

Even though MGM had told everyone in the publicity that this movie is not suitable for all ages, there are still many people who plan to try it out. They want to see what kind of R-rated movie Lin Daoqiu made. movie of.

Obviously the director of this film is Oliver Stone, but only because Lin Daoqiu wrote the script, so some people acquiesce that this film was filmed by Lin Daoqiu.

"Since the show starts tonight, why don't we go see it in theaters? I'm curious what Director Yu's first film in Hollywood will look like."

Brigitte Lin has been staying in LA all this time, when she learned from Lin Daoqiu that Yu Yunkang's new film "Human Purge Project" will be released tonight, Brigitte Lin, full of curiosity, wanted Lin Daoqiu to take her to see it one look.

"I think it's better for you not to watch it, because it's impossible for this movie to suit your appetite."

Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to take Brigitte Lin to watch "Human Purge Project", because he knew very well that Brigitte Lin would definitely not like this drama.

If I take her to see it myself, Lin Qingxia will be a demon for a long time starting from tonight. This is completely different from being frightened by ghosts, and it is more psychologically uncomfortable.

"I haven't watched it yet, how can you be sure that I will have the idea of ​​resisting this drama? Don't be so subjective, okay?"

Brigitte Lin felt that Lin Daoqiu was taking it for granted, he might think that his endurance was poor, but Brigitte Lin didn't think so, she thought she must be fine.

"It's not a question of whether you can resist or not, but after you watch it, I bet you will regret asking me to take you to watch this drama today, because this drama is more spiritually shocking. If If you really want to read it, I advise you to choose whether to go or not after reading the report in a few days."

Lin Daoqiu would not force Brigitte Lin not to let her watch it, but he hoped that after a few days of word-of-mouth from the media and the audience, Brigitte Lin would decide whether to go to the show or not.

This was the first time that Lin Daoqiu prevented herself from watching a movie, but Brigitte Lin realized that the other party was not joking with her, but was talking to herself in a very serious tone, so she nodded.

Lin Daoqiu is not worried about the box office results of "Human Purge Project", because in the last life, after the movie was filmed, it relied on its good reputation and finally won a very good box office result, and also made several films sequel.

And the shooting situation of "Human Purge Project" in this life is much better than that of the previous life, so Lin Daoqiu firmly believes that the box office performance of this film will definitely be higher than that of the previous life.

Early the next morning, Lin Daoqiu came to the chairman's office of MGM. Unlike in Xiangjiang, most of MGM's affairs were left to Richardson. Lin Daoqiu There is no need to deal with official business here.

But even so, there are still some documents that need Lin Daoqiu's signature to be sent, but the number is very small, and there may not be one copy almost a day.

And today is the day when the box office of "The Purge" is released on the first day. Oliver Stone also specially came to MGM to take a look at the box office results on the first day with everyone.

For him, it doesn't really matter whether the box office performance of this movie is good or not, because Oliver Stone feels that he has made the best of this movie, and he has nothing to say even if the box office performance is unsatisfactory.

"You don't seem to care much about The Purge's first-day box office."

At this time, Oliver Stone was sitting opposite Lin Daoqiu, and he looked very relaxed, not nervous at all while waiting for the box office.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, Oliver Stone couldn't help laughing, and he replied.

"I have done the best I can. Of course, I also hope that this drama can get a good box office, but no matter how nervous I am, it is impossible to increase the box office, so I feel There's no need to be nervous."

"I think it's right for you to have such an idea. After all, this drama is a bit too special. In fact, I'm not sure what the final box office results will be."

Not long after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Fang Jinsheng took a watch from the door and entered the office.

Fang Jinsheng didn't even need to ask Lin Daoqiu to know that what he was holding was the box office results of the first day of "The Purge of Humanity".
