In fact, there was no midnight preview screening of "A Better Tomorrow" at the time, which surprised the Hong Kong media and many filmmakers because from a certain period of time, midnight preview screenings became a kind of pre-premiere screening of Hong Kong movies.
rules, but Lu Yan obviously chose to ignore this rule and go directly to the official screening.
The Hong Kong media at the time obviously did not approve of such a move. Even the filmmakers had many jumping out to accuse Lu Yan of being irresponsible to the audience and the movie itself!
There is a saying that "there are too many famous people, right and wrong". That was the situation Lu Yan faced at the beginning.
But now it seems that this situation is obviously not much better! Ever since the incident of Lu Yan running away from Xinyi City was exposed, many seniors have had opinions on Lu Yan
Arrogant and arrogant? This seems to have become many people's positioning of Lu Yan. If it weren't for many actors and many friends who have worked with Lu Yan, they revealed that although Lu Yan occasionally became a powder keg during filming, he was usually a very ordinary person.
Not bad words, I guess many people in the industry will be a little resistant to directors like Lu Yan [
After all, it’s hard to avoid the impression that such a director would be arrogant! What’s more, Lu Yan’s attitude towards the media, coupled with the deliberate slander by entertainment reporters, shows that Lu Yan’s actual image as a person is not very good.
Moreover, Lu Yan left the "movie studio" because of what happened, which inevitably made people think that he was ungrateful. In fact, Lu Yan later realized that he was indeed young and energetic and did not think carefully.
Fortunately, Tsui Hark, Huang Baiming and others are very tolerant of Lu Yan, a young boy. After all, everyone was young once, so they can still understand Lu Yan's original behavior.
The most important thing is that this young boy has really made his own path!
This is enough to impress many young people in Hong Kong who are still struggling.
Not all ambitious and confident young people can be as successful as Lu Yan. Most of them are still working as assistants and sitting on the bench!
And Lu Yan has undoubtedly become their 'model' figure!
Whether he was considered a role model or not, he didn't know, but Huang Zhan, Li Xiaotian, Leslie Cheung and others recognized that Lu Yan had high musical talent.
The song "Love in the Past" has already made everyone sit up and take notice, and the appearance of "A Chinese Ghost Story" completely confirmed their thoughts!
"Shi Zai, Yan Zai must be a genius in this area! When you showed me this song, I knew it would be absolutely fine!" In the recording room of Huaxing Records, Li Xiaotian said with great excitement: "
Although if you take over the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the box office may not be ideal, but with this song, it will be worth it!"
In fact, the habit of calling Leslie Cheung 'brother' has started to spread through the promotional video of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Even many Leslie Cheung fans like this affectionate title very much. But after all, Li Xiaotian is Leslie Cheung's concubine, so
I am still used to calling Leslie Cheung "Ten Boy"
Hearing Li Xiaotian's comment, Leslie Cheung smiled calmly and said: "Master Qi, we did underestimate Yan Tsai before. Now you have to read the reports outside! I acted in "A Chinese Ghost Story" myself, and I think this
There is absolutely no problem with the movie. At first, everyone was not optimistic about "A Better Tomorrow", but the result shocked us all! As for Yan Tsai's musical talent, I think he may just want to be a director! Wait for it later.
, I will think of a way to get some songs from him! It would be such a waste not to use such talent..."
Regarding "A Chinese Ghost Story", Leslie Cheung has the same confidence as Lu Yan. Why is he so confident? Leslie Cheung has gradually realized that he almost lost such a movie, but it has not been released yet.
There is only one reason for my confidence, because the director is Lu Yan!
"Haha, I saw that you were so confident before. After you started making music, it seems that Yan Tsai has had a great influence on you. I also believe that your movie will be a hit by then!" Li Xiaotian watched Leslie Cheung go through "A Chinese Girl".
The changes after the filming of "Ghost" made me even more satisfied with this Qi Zai. Although he had Lu Yan's drive before, he didn't have Lu Yan's self-confidence. But now it seems that Lu Yan still has a great influence on him.
When he thought of Lu Yan, Li Xiaotian said blankly: "By the way, is Yan Zi's health feeling better?"
"Well! I still have a plaster on my left hand. Not long ago, I was working on the soundtrack of the movie with Uncle Zhan. I guess he will be the first director to attend the premiere with a plaster on! Haha..." I imagined in my mind
Leslie Cheung couldn't help laughing at that scene
In fact, Li Xiaotian is increasingly convinced that Leslie Cheung can get closer to Lu Yan, whether it is the influence of his surname or the help of his career. Lu Yanxin can play a vital role.
What concerned him the most was Lu Yan's financial background. As for the reason for the original 14k riot, Leslie Cheung naturally told the Qi Ye
But when Li Xiaotian knew that the situation reported by the media reporters was actually all true, he was stunned. According to this calculation, Lu Yan was calling his grandfather. His grandfather was far away in Taiwan. How could he have such a great deterrent effect? What is that?
What kind of character?[
Not only the society was involved, but even the chief inspector of the reporter had to sell face... It was undoubtedly very lucky for Leslie Cheung to make such a friend. Now he has great admiration for Leslie Cheung's original choice.

In the conference room of Dongcheng Video, Lu Yan said loudly with some annoyance: "Even a small-cost production like "The Flying Man" was given to dozens of theaters to be released at the same time, but it was only given to a dozen of us?"
Originally, when Liu Weiqiang told Lu Yan that Debao Film Company was only willing to give it to a dozen theaters, he didn't think anything of it. After all, this year's Spring Festival film competition was extremely fierce.
However, when he learned that Dickson Poon actually arranged for dozens of theaters to release a low-budget movie like "A Chinese Ghost Story" at the same time, he was angry. It was clear that he was preparing to curb the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
To put it bluntly, this is killing a movie!
"Yan Zai, after all, Debao Cinemas bought it from Shaw Brothers. Besides, Wang Jing's previous movies were not bad at the box office! He must give Uncle Liu this face." Liu Weiqiang is more open-minded than Lu Yan in this regard.
Many, after all, the matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no use in being angry anymore
But one thing is self-evident. These giant film companies in Hong Kong have made it clear that they want to besiege Dongcheng Pictures.
In addition to "Police Story", "Mr. Zombie" and "The Flying Man", there are also more than ten movies to be screened, such as "Dragon Heart", "Smart Treasures" and "The Affair".
This year’s Spring Festival is destined to be filled with smoke and war!
After calming down his emotions, Lu Yan came back to his senses and said, "Brother Xiaodong, how is the post-production of the special effects going?"
"Already done! Wait and take a look. If you feel dissatisfied, change it again! Once it's done, it can be officially released!" Cheng Xiaodong was also very angry. He vented all his anger on the special effects production this time.
He obviously did it for no other reason than to win publicity for "A Chinese Ghost Story"
Although he is not optimistic about the box office effect of costume ghost movies, the reports of those media reporters obviously made the entire Dongcheng Picture staff feel very unhappy.
If the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is really as bad as they expected, then it will have a huge impact on Dongcheng's image.
"Okay, since the outside world is unanimously not optimistic about "A Chinese Ghost Story", then let's show them what counterattack is!" Of course Lu Yan can understand why there are so many criticisms from the outside world, but it will show up if there are too many criticisms.
It makes people so anxious and several major film companies are attacking from both sides. The release time of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is actually not appropriate.
It is precisely because of this kind of anger that Lu Yan and others vowed to make "A Chinese Ghost Story" rise!
Hu Dawei is responsible for the editing, Cheng Xiaodong is responsible for the special effects, and later Huang Zhan and Dai Lemin are responsible for the music matching. This combination is already very eye-catching.
When Lu Yan and Liu Weiqiang, the main creatives, saw Cheng Xiaodong's post-production of special effects, they immediately decided to get involved in the preparations for the official release.
Nowadays, Dongcheng Video is not as silent as when it was first founded. Many entertainment reporters are waiting for the news. As soon as the news that the company is preparing for the official release of "A Chinese Ghost Story" comes out, they immediately log in as quickly as possible.
in the newspaper
What happened next was so ridiculous that the citizens of Hong Kong were immediately dumbfounded.
Not long after the newspaper published the news that "A Chinese Ghost Story" would be released three days later, film companies such as Golden Harvest New Art City actually announced that the new film would be officially released in three days. All their films had held midnight previews and received approval.
The response was very good
As soon as the news came out, many viewers expressed their intention to buy tickets to watch it.
Jackie Chan and the others are not targeting Lu Yan. This kind of thing itself is a high-level decision. With such an effect, it caused quite a stir, so several major film companies chose to release it on the same day as "A Chinese Ghost Story".
[
Someone has taken the lead, and other small companies involved in reading production have also appeared one after another.
The most frustrating thing among them is probably popular actors like Chow Yun-fat and Chung Chu-hong because several of their movies were released at the same time. This means that they can only choose one movie to participate in the premiere... without the leading actor and the main creator... they are running away.
Go to another movie... Such a messy premiere ceremony is not the first time in Hong Kong, but it has happened to so many movies, which left everyone speechless.
After everyone took a deep breath and geared up, the battle for the Spring Festival stalls finally kicked off!
