China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 148 Before and After the Premiere and the Decisive Battle
"It's more funny and deep than "Tai囧"? You're afraid it's really funny. What we want is entertainment, what we want is a family-friendly movie, and you don't need any depth. If you want depth, I can't watch it. Classics or philosophy books? As deep as you want."

""Lost in Thailand" has a lot of box office now. How dare you say it is funnier than it? Can you still surpass it? Are you afraid of being slapped in the face later?"

"It was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it's really for fun! Many people who celebrate the New Year either watch the Spring Festival Gala at home or reunite with family or friends. Who would go to the cinema to watch a movie? It seems that it is indeed a funny movie."

"Huang Baoqiang, Cheng He, Xiao Shenyang, handsome brother... I won't say anything else, I'll just talk about this configuration, isn't it a predetermined configuration for a bad movie? Even now, there are still directors who think that in movies, there are a lot of comedies Actors can make good comedy movies?"

I have to say that the last comment has the most likes, and this is also a point that Li Jingkun's fans themselves are very suspicious of - there are too many lessons learned, because there are always so many producers before. The audience is playing fools.

The next day, Zhou Xingxing, who was also active in Kyoto recently, was a little surprised because he also saw the news about "Detective Chinatown".

"Someone would actually schedule a blockbuster movie to be released during the Spring Festival?"

During the Chinese New Year, of course, there are other movies scheduled, but there are basically no blockbuster movies.Even if there is, the publicity will not be so great-after all, the production cost is there-the production cost of the work is low, and the publicity funds will not go much.

However, "Detective Chinatown" is obviously not a work in this industry. Its production budget is similar to that of "Journey to the West: Conquer the Devil", and the publicity is also huge.

But it's not that I'm afraid, it's just a little strange. By the way, I also learned more about this competitor.

"Li Jingkun? This young man is quite sharp!"

Even though Zhou Xingxing seldom cares about who his opponent is now, after learning about Li Jingkun's deeds, he still has to think that he does have some abilities.

On December 12, the movie ending song "Swadika" co-operated with Nanzheng Group was launched.

But if you don't listen to it in conjunction with the movie, the popularity is not too great.

On December 12, the film producer showed the "A Good Hand" version of the teaser poster; and a "Take Off" press conference was held on the tarmac of the Magic Hongqiao Airport.

Yes, "Detective Chinatown" will have more promotional tricks, and most of them will be Li Jingkun.

After all, it is different from "Suddenly This Summer", this is a big production of hundreds of millions, and at the same time, the publicity fee is much higher; Everyone's expectations are full, and everyone's habit of going to the cinema during the Spring Festival is cultivated.

On December 12th, Zhou Xingxing, Xiang Nan, Huang Bo and others held a film conference in Kyoto with the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to re-promote with great fanfare that the film will premiere on the first day of the Lunar New Year. .

In fact, on the 20th of last month, Zhou Xingxing held a press conference with Wang Zhongshi, but at that time the film was still in the confidentiality period, and many plots and information had not been released to the outside world, and many people did not even know that he did not star in it.

At that time, it was also said that it would be released on the Spring Festival file, but no specific date was given, and everyone's attention was on the content of the movie, so naturally the keyword "released on the Spring Festival file" was ignored.

But this time is different, a huge publicity campaign is about to start, so this time I directly put up a big poster with the words "February 2th, New Year's Day".

······
As soon as this news came out, those who said before that "normal people don't show movies during the Spring Festival" were a little slapped.

Because it’s okay to say that others are okay, but Zhou Xingxing...

Zhou Xingxing is known for being low-key and dedicated; moreover, most of the movies he acts in and shoots are about the lives and fates of low-level people, which resonate well with ordinary audiences.And for decades, basically there will be no pornographic news, and even now he is still a bachelor.

So if there are a few people in the entertainment industry who have almost no fans, then Zhou Xingxing may be one of them.

"One actor a year, Zhou Xingye for a hundred years" is not a casual talk.

For a real master, for a comedian who has influenced an era, most people still respect him very much.

So the comments from netizens have also begun to change...

"I'm looking forward to it! After waiting for so long, it's finally going to be released! Although I didn't go to the cinema to watch movies during the Spring Festival before, you can still go to see Zhou Xingxing's movies. Others have to think about it."

"Although it's a pity that Master Xing did not play the role himself, but I will still support it when the time comes! February 2th, the first day of the new year!"

"There is another plan for the Spring Festival! Watch Master Xing in the cinema!"

"Xiang Nan, Huang Bo, Shu Qi! They are all actors I like very much, Mark is on it!"

·······
Of course, Li Jingkun also saw these comments and sensed the direction of the wind, but this was expected. No matter how confident he was, he would not dare to compare with Zhou Xingxing... This is decades , The popularity and charm accumulated by character and works cannot be imitated by others.

No matter how high the box office is, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to be praised to such an extent in a few decades, right?
Some things are simply not what ordinary people can persist and endure.

And the personality is also different; I want Li Jingkun to keep a low profile, and then promise not to cause any scandal...

He can only say one thing: The concubine can't do it.

It's better to be a normal person after all.When there are times when he can give up and indulge, he doesn't want to and dare not create a persona who is devoted to anything.

There will be thunderstorms at any time.

2013年1月1日，上映21天的《泰囧》，累计票房破10亿元、观影人数破3100万，创下目前国产片累计票房、观影人数最高纪录。也成为国内首部票房突破10亿的国产电影！

But its footsteps apparently have not stopped.

Domestic films have also begun to enter the era of 10 billion box office!
The number of domestic theaters and the movie-watching craze of the people have reached an unprecedented height; and it is not the end yet.

On January 2013, 1, the film crew of "Detective Chinatown" released the "Seven Deadly Sins" version of the trailer.

On January 2013, 1, the movie "Detective Chinatown" held a launch conference on the Minsk super aircraft carrier in Pengcheng.On the same day, the promotional song "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced" was released, and the theme poster of "Four Happiness Edition" was released.

On January 2013, 1, Chongqing started the first road show.

·····
What do you mean by a huge momentum?
This is huge!
Propaganda up!do not stop!
During road shows and promotional activities, Huang Baoqiang and Li Jingkun were the most popular, followed by Gao Meiyuan; of course, many people knew Xiao Shenyang.Cheng He, Xiao Yang, handsome brother and others meet again.Therefore, the cards of "Detective Chinatown" are still quite big.

Bai Jingting is a newcomer, but he is good-looking, and he is still one of the protagonists. His popularity is slowly increasing, and the number of fans of the bib is also slowly increasing every day.

The biggest star of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is of course Zhou Xingxing himself, and several leading actors are also big-name stars.

But "Detective Chinatown" also has many advantages, and the biggest advantage at present is Huang Baoqiang.After all, "Tai囧" is so popular, so everyone's expectations for him are quite high.In addition, it will be released during the Spring Festival, so everyone will definitely want to watch a family carnival work.Huang Baoqiang is such a guarantee, so this is also borrowing the momentum of "Lost in Thailand".

Then there is Li Jingkun. The success of several consecutive works has left a good reputation in the minds of many people, so this movie is also one of the must-see works for many people.

Li Jingkun's film work after a year and a half, how can I miss it!
Gao Meiyuan has also released another work since "Introduction to Architecture", but her reputation and box office are average; but her beauty is still there, so the audience will also look forward to her performance in the movie.

However, during the Spring Festival this year, there were actually two blockbuster films released on the first day of the Lunar New Year at the same time, so they must be put together for comparison.As a result, the final result of evolution is that netizens have to stand in line.

This is definitely not what Li Jingkun and the others want to see. Of course they want to take advantage of the popularity of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", but this is not the way to do it.Because comparing them with Zhou Xingxing, they must be at a disadvantage at present.

Someone even made a poll, saying which movie will you watch on New Year's Day?Of course, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" had the most votes, and the No.2 "Detective Chinatown" was short of many votes.

"It feels like "Detective Chinatown" is taking advantage of Zhou Xingxing's popularity. Others set the Spring Festival, and they also set the Spring Festival."

""Detective Chinatown" was announced earlier than "Journey to the West" on the first day of the new year, right?"

""Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" announced in November that it will be scheduled for the Spring Festival, right? Even though it didn't say it was the first day of the new year, how many days is the Spring Festival? And they are all insiders. Zhou Xingxing's side is definitely not December 11. It was only decided on the 12th, and the date was officially announced on the 28th. "Detective Chinatown" must have been known in advance, so the press conference was deliberately held a few days in advance."

"To be fair, I like the two directors very much, and I am looking forward to the two films. But I don't think it is necessary to see so many people stepping on Li Jingkun in order to praise Zhou Xingxing. Li Jingkun announced during the Spring Festival in 2012 that he would start filming. "Detective Chinatown" has been going on for a year now, and it was released in the Spring Festival of 2013, so it doesn't count as someone's enthusiasm, right?"

"People in the industry, before the filming of "Detective Chinatown" started, it was decided to release it in the Lunar New Year file. Li Jingkun said it himself, and many people in Huaying and Perfect Planet know it."

"Hehe, just open your mouth, and just say a word to prove that you are an insider?"

To be honest, Zhou Xingxing is indeed worthy of the respect and love of the Chinese, but after many fans become obsessed with the transition, it is easy to blackmail the celebrity himself.

That is to say, some fans worship the transition and praise the transition.

However, many celebrities and stars have this phenomenon, including Li Jingkun, of course; including the fans of brother Zhang and Principal Tan in the past.

So these two movies have been so heavily promoted recently, which has also caused conflicts between their fans.

Later, Wang Zhongshi also called Li Jingkun to understand each other's attitude.

Zhongyi is a partner of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". Wang Zhongshi is also one of the producers of the film, and has occasionally participated in the promotion of the film recently.

"Certainly not, Mr. Wang, I wonder if there is anyone there to guide you... It is probably the behavior of netizens or the media. After all, if there is a conflict, there will be something interesting, and if there is something interesting, there will be traffic." "Detective Chinatown" You have read some of the proposals for this project before, and you should also know that we originally planned to release it during the Lunar New Year file."

Wang Zhongshi chatted with Li Jingkun for a while, and he also realized that the other party should be just a normal publicity; there should not be many people who would bother to compare the number of fans with Zhou Xingxing, right?
Even if you want to compare, there is no need to create such a situation.

Li Jingkun said: "Since we meet each other, it is considered fate, there is no need for malicious competition, and it is a serious matter to make the cake of the Spring Festival stalls bigger and stronger together."

Wang Zhongshi said: "You are very confident? Are you not afraid of Xingxing last week?"

"It must be a little bit scary, but if there is any way to do it, if you are optimistic about your own movie and this schedule, then you can only do your best to promote it and do things."

"Are you also optimistic about this schedule?"

"Of course, don't you all think that this schedule is good?"

Wang Zhongshi was silent for a while, and then the two chatted briefly before hanging up the phone.

But it was only after hanging up the phone that Li Jingkun felt a little strange. Didn't Wang Zhongshi think that the Spring Festival is a good time?

That's why he promised that if "Journey to the West" can exceed 5 million, he will pay Zhou Xingxing another 8000 million in dividends?
Because he felt that Xing Xing did not participate in the movie week, so the box office would not be so high?

Li Jingkun didn't understand either, but it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

At present, it must be my own movie that is the most important.

In early February, the premiere of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil" was held first, and Zhou Xingxing often went to several theaters for activities.

Of course, "Detective Chinatown" can't lose to them here, and there are many schedules every day.

Their premiere is going to be held on February 2th. The venue and plan have been arranged. At the same time, some celebrity friends have been notified in advance, so come and support them when you have time.

He also gave each actor a "task", each of them should invite at least one or two friends from the circle, and the bigger the actor, the better.

After all, this is his movie, so it is also their work?

"Bao Qiang, is there a chance to invite Director Xu Zheng?"

Recently, he and the main creators must have met frequently, after all, the promotional activities have never stopped.

"Lost in Thailand" is currently the No. [-] box office of domestic films, and the sensational effect has not yet dropped. If he can come, it will bring a lot of attention to "Detective Chinatown"-although it has already gained a lot of popularity before.

"It's a bit difficult... It's not that he won't come, but that our relationship has been a bit awkward recently." Huang Baoqiang was a little embarrassed. He must be a little unbalanced because he didn't know about Huang Bo's remuneration before.

But more importantly, because of this matter, he was inevitably scolded by his wife several times a while ago, and even his agent also talked about him, so he is also in a very complicated mood now, and he doesn't want to talk about it at all.It is even more impossible to ask him to help out his new movie.

As for Huang Bo, it is even more impossible. One is that he is also a party involved, and the other is that they are competitors now. As one of the leading actors of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil", how could he come to stand for "Detective Chinatown" now.

"Is sister-in-law very angry?" Li Jingkun said.

"Hey, she's just like that, I can't say no to her." Huang Baoqiang said.

"This kind of thing is not what you want. Who would have known that "Lost in Thailand" would become such a hit before it was released?"

"That's right, and Brother Bo certainly didn't expect him to get so much dividends... Hey, it's all over, let's not mention it."

And when he kept inviting friends to come and help out, he didn't expect someone to ask him if he could come and participate.

This day, I suddenly received a message from Liu Tianxian. She said, "I heard that your movie will have a premiere on February 2th. Can I go? Welcome?"

　Ye Gucheng and Ximen blowing wind, the top of the Forbidden City, before and after the decisive battle.

　　I like Gu Long's novel very much. Originally, I wanted to write the title directly as "Before and After the Decisive Battle". In the end, I was afraid that everyone would think I posted the wrong chapter, so I wrote it like this.

　　The next chapter will be updated soon.
