"Mean Streets" has been released on Hong Kong Island.

Preliminary statistics show that the island's box office is 24 million, ranking second in the mainland, and it cannot beat "Initial D".

Unexpectedly, "Mean Streets" did pretty well in the three Southeast Asian countries.

There is actually an income of 20 million.

Of course the Sound King is happy!

The decline of "Ghost 2" that hit the streets has been wiped out.

There was even a celebration party when it was released in Hong Kong Island. We don’t know what to celebrate about the 44 million box office.

After the 10.1 holiday, "Mean Streets" will be released in mainland China.

Of course Cheng Yu'an wanted to help with the platform. Not only did he come, he also brought Cheng Er, Jing Tian, ​​Ning Hao, Huang Bo and Xu Shan Zhengtao Hong.

Speaking of the couple Xu Shanzheng and Tao Hong, Ning Hao originally wanted to invite Tao Hong to star in "Crazy Stone" and sent her the script, but when Baldhead read the script, he liked it so much that he decided to act.

Ning Hao said: "My budget for this play is only 4 million, so I can't afford you."

The bald man directly said that he wanted to act without being paid, so Ning Hao had no choice but to recruit him into the group.

This couple, if you look at their resumes, both of them are the protagonists.

Xu Shanzheng graduated in 1994 and entered the Shanghai Drama Art Center. In 1998, he won the Best Actor in Magnolia at the age of 26. In 2000, "Spring and Pig" became popular all over the country. In 2001, he won the Zuolin Drama Award for Best Actor; and then

He starred in "Li Wei is an Official", and even served as director for the second film. In the same year, he starred in the first time-travel drama in mainland China, "Love Through Time", which triggered a ratings frenzy.

If Xu Shanzheng is the male protagonist, then his wife Tao Hong is simply the most beautiful woman in heaven, the kind that cannot be written in novels.

He joined the Beijing Youth League team at the age of 11 and the national team at the age of 15. During his career as an athlete, he also won national and world-class awards.

Her first film after retiring was Mazi's "Sunny Days" when she was 21 years old.

Before the age of 30, she won the Best Actress Award from Huabiao, Golden Rooster, Feitian, Baihua and Golden Eagle.

Cheng Yuan came to the premiere of "Mean Streets" and had another important task - to promote "Sunflower" and "Crazy Stone".

Although the filming of the two dramas has not officially started yet, they at least have to show their face in front of reporters.

"Both movies will be released next month. "Sunflower" is a film under the "Rising Star Director Program" and is escorted by Yuan Yuan, Yingyi Entertainment and Guangxian; "Crazy Stone" is the company's new film. The two films will be released at that time.

It will be released simultaneously in Mainland China and Hong Kong Island."

"Of course I'm optimistic about it. I think these two films will definitely give everyone a surprise next year." Cheng Yu'an talked politely to reporters, and did not forget to ask Cheng Er and Ning Hao to bring their actors for interviews.

"The post-production of "Clues of Time and Space" has been completed and will be submitted for review next month. If everything goes well, I will see you in January."

"Is "The Promise" set?" A reporter asked Chen Kaige, "When is it set?"

"December 15th." A reporter answered.

"It's pretty good." Cheng Yu'an replied.

"'King Kong' is scheduled to be released on the 24th. Does Director Cheng think 'King Kong' will have any important impact on domestic films in this year's Lunar New Year season?" the reporter asked.

"King Kong" is one of the few Hollywood blockbusters to be placed on the Lunar New Year schedule.

"There must be an influence, but we have to believe in Director Kaige." Although Cheng Yu'an already knew the answer, he still had to say this on the scene, ""The Promise" is the leading blockbuster among domestic films in terms of cast and production scale. I believe it.

The opening song director can keep the Lunar New Year slot."

This year’s Lunar New Year holiday, except for Chen Kaige’s “The Promise,” several major directors were absent.

The General Administration originally wanted to place "Clues of Time and Space" on the 22nd, which was two days before King Kong was released.

Cheng Yuan is not stupid!

He remembered that the national box office champion of The Original Time and Space this year was "The Promise", and the runner-up was "King Kong". Although he didn't know how "Clues of Time" would perform, but he wanted to use himself as cannon fodder to test "King Kong"? No way!

Cheng Yu'an rejected the General Administration's proposal on the grounds that "Clues of Time" was still in the final stages of production and could not be released in time for December.

By the way, another Yuan Yuan film, "Old Man" starring Qin Hailu and Hu Ge, has also been released on Hong Kong Island and is expected to be released in the mainland next month.

A gambling movie is really not suitable to be placed in the Lunar New Year movie.

Back to Mean Streets.

Director Chen Jiashang seems to have returned to the high-spirited 90s.

The box office in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia exceeds 40 million, which is just a dream.

Embracing the mainland is indeed the right choice.

Joe Wu has gained many fans in the Mainland because of "New Police Story". At today's premiere, eight out of ten viewers who came into the theater were fans of Joe.

The little girls competed with each other with enthusiasm.

Wu Azu also shouted very hard at the scene and basically responded to all requests.

You mean Cheng Yuan?

His behind-the-scenes director is incredibly popular.

In 10 days, another Hong Kong gangster film "Underworld" will be released simultaneously in Hong Kong Island and the Mainland.

The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or in May this year.

The people on the island were excited for a while, and they were regarded by the Sound King as the biggest opponent of "Mean Streets" this year.

But in Cheng Yu'an's memory, "Underworld" won many awards, including all the Golden Horse and Golden Horse statues, but the box office didn't seem to be very good.

So Cheng Yu'an is not worried at all that "Underworld" will threaten the box office of "Mean Streets".

Another thing is that the mainland audience's acceptance of gangster movies is just that. You can think about it if it's below 20 million, but it's very difficult to reach more than 20 million.

Cheng Yu'an is not pessimistic about the performance of "Mean Streets" in the mainland, but he doesn't have high expectations either. This story was originally written for Hong Kong audiences.

His inner prediction was 15 million to 20 million.

Today's protagonist is "Despicable Streets". After Cheng Yu'an briefly introduced "Crazy Stone" and "Sunflower", he gave up the interview opportunity to Chen Jiashang and Wu Azu.

"This is a very different gangster film," Chen Jiashang said in an interview before the screening. "I can tell you in advance that the biggest feature of "Mean Streets" is its authenticity. I know that many young audiences in the mainland like to watch it.

The brotherhood in "Young and Dangerous", but what I want to say is that "Mean Streets" will overturn this setting. Real gangsters are not like that, they are very cruel.

"Before I came to the Mainland, I specifically asked Zheng Yi Mian and Xiao Chun. They both regretted filming "Young and Dangerous". They knew that many children imitated the scenes in "Young and Dangerous" after watching it, and thought it was for children.

set a bad example.

""Mean Streets" will give everyone a different gangster, and everyone will know it after watching it."

Chen Jiashang didn't want to say more.

When Wu Azu talked about his filming of "Mean Streets", he said: "There are a lot of action scenes, and my body hurts every day after work."

"This is normal. It's like this when filming action scenes. Everyone is injured."

"I'm okay, I won't really fight, but there will always be times when I'm not careful."

"I definitely hope it will be better at the box office. After all, our crew is working hard on this film."
Chapter completed!
