Chapter 254 "Nightclub" (3/5)

Bald Xu hated Yu Dong like crazy.

Yu Dong put "Eavesdropping" on the same day as "Night Club".

What's the lineup of "Night Club", what's the lineup of "Eavesdropping"!

Maybe Yu Dong didn't have any intention of targeting "Night·Club", the two films may have happened to coincide with each other.

Yu Dong also invited Cheng Yuan to attend the premiere of "Eavesdropping", but Cheng Yuan had already agreed to Xu Shanzheng to support "Night Club".

Cheng Yu'an sat in the audience and watched the movie. She frowned and argued with Xu Shan in a low voice: "It's done well, but it's too similar. Have you bought the copyright?"

Xu Shanzheng knew what Cheng Yu'an meant and looked embarrassed, but he did not admit it: "Coincidences, coincidences, they are all coincidences."

"Night Club" pays tribute to (chao) (xi) South Korea's "Gas Station Attack" is considered by many to be the film's biggest failure.

"I'll contact the Korean side for you. You can complete the formalities, otherwise we won't be able to do follow-up publicity. Don't worry, it won't be expensive." You can still talk remotely in Korea.

It can be seen that Xu Shanzheng actually does not want to replenish the copyright, but since Cheng Yuan said so, Xu Shanzheng could only agree with a smile.

In fact, this 3 million-yuan movie not only paid back its investment, but also made a small profit.

The original box office was 12 million, which is quite good in terms of return rate.

It's not funnier than "The Stone" or "Racing," but it's still a comedy worth paying to go to the theater to see.

Audiences at the premiere responded that some parts of the movie were unintelligible: "It was more like watching a 90-minute short sketch, Coke, but it just didn't look like a movie. The troubled customer played by Wang Xun blamed the convenience store for service problems.

There are also two scenes where the record company owner recruits Zhu Liao. Although interesting, these two plots have no meaning to the story itself. They neither advance the progress of the story nor deepen the theme of the story."

This statement made the main creator present quite embarrassed. Fortunately, Xu Shanzheng reacted quickly. As a producer, he immediately said: "Actually, our only purpose of making this comedy is to make everyone laugh happily. As long as everyone feels

This movie is funny, as long as it’s interesting.”

Xu Shanzheng still doesn't have much appeal in the film industry, and he speaks very humbly.

Before the screening, Yang Qing said humbly: "Although the film has been screened at the Shanghai Film Festival, I am even more nervous this time because all the people present are insiders. I hope everyone will be more tolerant and not have too high expectations."

But after all, the number of viewers who have watched "Gas Station Attack" is still in the minority. Judging from the reaction of the audience at the premiere, the majority of them received positive reviews.

Famous film critic Zhou Liming also repeatedly said "very funny".

This summer, there are many types of films, including science fiction, comedy, animation, fantasy, and main themes and plots. Including "Night Club", there are three comedies alone, one of which was released in mid-August, with Zhang Ziyi as the first producer.

The film "Perfect" was released, and the other one was "The Secret Agent" which was released a week after "Night Club".

Looking at the works of this group of Hong Kong Island directors who came north at the beginning of the century, from "Little Dog" to the "XX Happy Event" series to "Macau Storm", they are all making a fool of themselves and consuming the feelings of Hong Kong Island's nonsensical comedies in the mainland.

But it’s not funny!

Especially in "Ling Ling Dog", Wong Jing made a fuss over everything:

"I had regrets about filming "Ling Ling Fa" with Zhou Xingxing before, so I decided to make this movie now. Goo Jai is the best choice for Li Ling Ling Dog in my mind."

He also praised Goo Jai as "the best comedy actor in Hong Kong after Zhou Xingxing."

Just ignore it and blow with your eyes closed.

If you want to say that Wang Jing has no talent, then you're not that bad at all.

Cheng Yu'an positions him as: "A commercial film director with an extremely clear mind."

Are you saying he doesn't know his movie is bad?

Obviously it's impossible, but he is very clear about his position, which is to make money.

If art is not art, get out first. He knows it himself: "In the film industry, nothing is a capital offense. You can do anything. You make a lot of money. You date female stars. You come late and leave early. You curse people and lift tables. Nothing is wrong. There is only one thing."

The capital crime is not to sell for money. Whatever you have done before, as long as you sell for money, everyone will forgive you. If you don't sell for money, it will be useless for you to live the life of a saint, and no one will ask you to film.

This is the most direct and simple truth."

Illegal crimes are, of course, another matter.

You see, he knows it very well!

So it doesn’t matter how much people call him a bad movie, he made money selling it!

There will always be a lot of people giving him money to film movies.

You scold him for making bad movies, but you know how happy he is at home counting money!

Talking back to "Night Club", the film was previously screened at the Shanghai International Film Festival. The seats were packed and even the aisles were packed with people. The response was very good.

As the leading actor, Xu Shanzheng said: "When faced with such a script, even if the box office prospects may not be good, he will participate again, truly without any regrets."

"Both professional film critics and ordinary audiences have given it very good reviews. I am very satisfied. I am even more gratified than a box office success."

In fact, even though the bald man looks calm and relaxed on stage, he is actually under a lot of pressure.

Needless to say, "The Overheard" was released on the same day as him, there was also a Hong Kong cartoon released on this day, "McDull".

Also positioned as comedy.

This is the fourth film in the "McDull" series and the first "McDull" to be released in mainland China.

Faced with the attack of two Hong Kong films, not to mention "Ling Ling Dog" which will be released next week, the creator of "Night·Club" is actually quite upset.

After exchanging a few words with Yang Qing and Xu Shanzheng at the scene and praising "Night Club" to reporters, Cheng Yu'an left in advance.

"Why is he gone?" Li Xiaolu asked backstage at the premiere.

"His being able to come is a favor to China Film Group Corporation. Do you still want him to stay with us forever?" Xu Shan argued.

"I still want to talk to him." Li Xiaolu muttered.

Xu Shanzheng gave her a thoughtful look, knowing that this girl was very thoughtful, so he didn't say much.

After Cheng Yuan returned, he began to arrange the publicity work for "The Wind".

In fact, Cheng Yu'an does not need to personally intervene in the specific publicity work. It is just that the movie "The Wind" is Cheng Yu'an's work, so the company cannot help but ignore it.

"The box office of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" shouldn't be too high," Cheng Lingfeng said, "It's not like I haven't made gift films before, and they all look like they cost over 100 million."

If Cheng Yu'an hadn't read the answer, he would have thought so.

"When will "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" be released?"

"September 16."

"Let's delay it by two weeks and go on the 29th as originally planned."

"As for that?" Cheng Lingfeng wanted to raise the issue.

"Jiahe has been notified to ensure 80% of the filming schedule for "The Founding of the People's Republic of China."

"Isn't this nonsense? How could you give such an order?" Cheng Lingfeng was very dissatisfied with the forced arrangement of films from above.

"Stop complaining, this film has an all-star cast, and the film is not bad at all. It clearly wants to set a benchmark for the main theme." Although Cheng Yu'an also had a grudge about this, he was used to seeing the manipulations of later generations, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Then how much box office do you think "The Founding of the People's Republic" can have?"

"Let's start at 300 million, I'm sure it can reach 400 million."

Cheng Yu'an knew that "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" had reached 430 million in original time and space, but he didn't say too much. What if "The Wind" really affected the box office of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"?

"Will it be so high?" Cheng Lingfeng obviously didn't believe it, "Then our "The Wind" was used as cannon fodder for it?"

"Transformers 2" has just broken the record of big ships with 420 million. Can "The Founding of a Republic" hit 400 million?
