What's a little different from rb's promotional activities is that there are more movie fans here.
Aunt Baiyun, a legendary figure from the Northeast, once described such a scene. It was so lively, with huge crowds of people and noisy gongs and drums!
This time, it was not the security guards from Maplewood Security who were responsible for maintaining law and order at the scene, but 180 police officers dispatched by the Xiangjiang Police Department to maintain order at the scene!
Not only that, the two major TV stations in Hong Kong, ATV and TVB, both used live broadcasts for this promotion!
The reason why this happened is because the promotion of the movie "The Love of Ghosts" in Hong Kong involved almost all the stars in Hong Kong!
"The Love of Ghosts" has been released in Hong Kong before, and the box office exceeded 35 million Hong Kong dollars in three weeks, which has exceeded the three-week box office record of all Wu Jianye's previous movies released in Hong Kong!
At the same time, the film's Douban score on "Black and White Image" has reached 9.4, making it the film with the highest Douban score among the films currently being released in Hong Kong.
This movie became a phenomenon-level movie in Hong Kong this year.
Together with the two movies that started the year, "Miracle" and "The Gambler", they are the three most popular movies in Hong Kong at the beginning of 1990!
Some reporters used the term troika to describe these three movies!
In addition, this movie has the highest Douban rating among the three movies, so it can be said that it has achieved a double success in both word-of-mouth and box office!
Of course, these alone cannot create such a big disturbance. The most important thing is Wu Jianye's reputation in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.
Today is a memorable day for movie fans and music fans in Hong Kong. In their minds, even the Academy Awards, which have gradually regained their reputation, TVB's Golden Songs and ATV's Golden Songs Festival, cannot predictably compete with it!
By the way, in response to wireless's hit songs, ATV launched its own hit song festival this year.
If rb's promotion is mainly about mystery, then today's promotion in Hong Kong is a grand party in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.
Amid the cheers of the audience, brothers Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao and others were the first to appear. Now the action film market in Xiangjiang is almost dominated by these three brothers, and no one can compete with them!
Especially Cheng Long, who is now developing rapidly in Hollywood, has long established his position as the number one person in the Hong Kong film industry. Except for Zhou Yunfa, no one can compete with him.
The three of them all knew that many people would come to the banquet, so they did not exchange too many greetings with Wu Jianye. They just made an appointment to wait for the promotion to end and have a good celebration at the celebration dinner before walking in.
cinema.
Then came Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong. Zhou Runfa’s influence in North America is definitely not as good as that of Cheng Long, but in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, Zhou Runfa’s box office appeal is not weaker than that of Cheng Long. Coupled with his gold
Partner Zhong Chuhong is one of the most famous actresses in Hong Kong. The arrival of the two made the scene once again burst into deafening cheers.
Zhou Runfa was as graceful as ever, holding Zhong Chuhong's hand and waving to the audience!
"Haha, people who don't know, really think you two are a couple!" Wu Jianye teased the two of them.
Zhong Chuhong smiled tenderly and said: "Director Wu, you can't be joking. If Sister Lian comes to find me, I can't afford the punishment!"
The Sister Lian mentioned by Zhong Chuhong is naturally not Chen Yulian, but Chen Huilian, the current wife of Zhou Runfa. The two had already married in a low-key manner in 1987, which everyone in the industry knew.
Zhou Runfa chuckled and said: "I think you are worried that the member of your family will be jealous!"
Zhong Chuhong has also started dating Zhu Jiading, which is also public news in the industry, and Wu Jianye also knows that by next year, the two will secretly register their marriage in the United States!
"I won't talk to you for now. Let's have a nice chat at the dinner party!" Wu Jianye said with a smile. Everyone is an old friend, so naturally Wu Jianye can't be polite to them.
The two of them said nothing and walked into the theater hand in hand.
Then came the actors who were also very popular in Xiangjiang. There was Deng Guangyi, who once wanted to show off his muscles in front of Wu Jianye, but was slapped in the face. Later, he learned to behave well.
This time Deng Guangyi did not come alone, but came with his sworn brothers and sisters. Members of the Silver Rats, who have great influence in the hearts of the older generation of audiences in Hong Kong, came together.
The eldest brother Zhang Chong, the second brother Xie Yan, the third brother Chen Ziqiang, the fourth brother Chen Hao, the fifth brother Chen Xianglin, the sixth brother Deng Guangyi, and the seventh sister Feifei!
When these seven people walked on the red carpet, they were full of momentum, but when they came to Wu Jianye, they all seemed very polite. At this time, there was no one in the entertainment circle in Hong Kong who could compare with Wu Jianye.
.
The conflict between Wu Jianye and Deng Guangyi has long been resolved. When Wu Jianye's movie was promoted in Hong Kong, Deng Guangyi personally came to the scene to support him. Now he was naturally polite, and then someone introduced them
to the cinema.
Then came Chow Sing-chi, who has the greatest box-office appeal among the new generation of movie stars in Hong Kong and is also the one who broke the 100% trend in Hong Kong every week. Walking the red carpet with Chow Sing-chi was also Zhang Manyu, the leader among the new generation of actresses in Hong Kong!
At this time, Zhang Manyu had already removed her reputation as a vase, and her performances in several literary films made her completely recognized as an acting school in Hong Kong. This was much earlier than in another time and space!
The two of them were very humble after meeting Wu Jianye, especially Zhang Manyu, who had a good relationship with Wu Jianye because they had worked together.
"Director Wu, I will definitely not make so many mistakes when I star in your movies in the future!" Zhang Manyu said pointedly.
Wu Jianye naturally understood. With the success of the movie "The Love of Ghosts", Wu Jianye's box office appeal is no longer limited to the Southeast Asian market and the European independent film circle. Now everyone knows about this movie.
Movies are the most popular movies in the world right now.
If you can participate in Wu Jianye's new movie at this time, it will be equivalent to opening up your global popularity!
The same is true for Zhou Xingchi on the side. Every actor hopes to create a high reputation on a global scale, especially in the current North American market!
Wu Jianye glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future!"
When the two of them heard what Wu Jianye said, their eyes lit up, and Zhou Xingchi even said excitedly: "Director Wu, then we have a deal!"
Wu Jianye laughed and let them enter the theater without saying anything else!
The celebrities behind have already walked on the red carpet. The noble Zhang Guoyi and his old friend Anita Mui also came to the scene hand in hand.
Seeing the two of them, Wu Jianye also reminded himself that when that time comes, he must help the two of them and not let them take the same life path as in the original time and space.
"Young Master Twelve, like a flower, welcome!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
The reason why they are called Twelve Young Masters and Ruhua actually comes from a movie "Rouge Button" invested and filmed by Free Fengge Films, in which they played the roles of Twelve Young Masters and Ruhua respectively. This movie also caused a stir in Hong Kong.
It was a huge sensation and won seven awards at last year's Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Film Score, and Best Film Song.
It is a pity that in the competition for best actor, Leslie Cheung lost to Hong Jinbao in "Seven Little Fortunes"!
"Director Wu, please stop teasing us!" Zhang Guoyi and Anita Mui also said with a smile.
Wu Jianye briefly chatted with the two of them, and then they walked into the cinema.
Then came the new generation of movie stars who were rising in the Hong Kong film industry, Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-wai. They were the two of the original Wireless Five who had the best development in the Hong Kong film industry.
Andy Lau's "The Gambler" starring Zhou Xingchi this year set a box office record of 45 million in Hong Kong, shocking the whole of Hong Kong!
The establishment of Fengge Cinema Line has brought Xiangjiang's film industry into a major event in advance. The increase in the number of theaters has also increased the box office of some movies to a certain extent.
And Tony Leung is no less generous. Last year he participated in Hou Hsiao-yang's "City of Sadness". This film even won the Golden Lion Award at last year's Venice Film Festival, which made Tony Leung's status in the Hong Kong film industry also gained.
A huge improvement.
Although there was some friction between the two because of the termination of the contract with Wireless, now a few years have passed and the rift has long since disappeared.
"Develop well in Fengge Pictures from now on, and the company will not treat you badly!" Wu Jianye said to Liang Chaowei.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai's contract with TVB has expired this year, and he has signed a contract with Fengge Pictures. This year he will star in "Blood on the Street" directed by Wu Baige!
Liang Chaowei smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Director Wu, for your support!"
Wu Jianye then encouraged Liu Dehua again, and the two walked into the theater.
Later, the stars were also shining brightly. Wu Yaohan, Feng Suifan and others who had appeared in the Five Lucky Stars also came to the scene. Alan Tam and Chen Baixiang, who are as famous as Leslie Cheung in the Hong Kong music scene, came together.
The four heroes of the Xu family are Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanwu, Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanying.
Wuma, Chen You, Chen Xunqi, Wu Mengda......
New generation singers Zhang Xueyou, Liming, Wang Fei...
It can be said that in this era, all the famous stars in the Hong Kong film industry have come here.
At this time Li Lianjie, Tsui Hark, Guan Zhilin, Zheng Zeshi and others also came to the scene.
"Director Wu, congratulations on the great sales of your new film!" Tsui Hark, as the leader of this team, took the lead in greeting Wu Jianye.
"Thank you, Director Xu, for supporting us!" Wu Jianye said with a smile, and then encouraged Li Lianjie: "This is an opportunity for you to participate in Director Xu's film, so take advantage of this opportunity!"
Li Lianjie said shyly: "Director Wu, don't worry, I will do it!"
Tsui Hark's team is naturally going to film the "Once Upon a Time" series. Tsui Hark has actually always wanted to film the "Once Upon a Time" series, but he has never been able to find a suitable actor. Because Jet Li became famous in Hong Kong early, he found him. I am a favorite actor, so after filming "The Swordsman", I immediately started preparing for "Once Upon a Time", which also made these two movies appear in Hong Kong earlier than in another time and space.
Guan Zhilin stood in the crowd, blinking her peach blossom eyes and observing Wu Jianye carefully. Although Wu Jianye was not from Hong Kong, he was the most influential person in the Hong Kong film industry and even the entire business community in Hong Kong. Guan Zhilin There is no resistance to such a big shot.
So when shaking hands with Wu Jianye, my fingers traced across Wu Jianye's palm without leaving a trace...
Wu Jianye didn't say anything, he just smiled. In this circle, reaching Wu Jianye's position is no longer a matter of who he wants to find, but a matter of whom he should reject.
"Director Xu, why didn't you see Miss Shi?" Wu Jianye let go of Guan Zhilin's delicate hands without leaving a trace, and asked Xu Hark with a smile.
An awkward smile appeared on Tsui Hark's wretched face, "Director Wu, you will see them in a moment!"
them?
Wu Jianye was slightly startled, but he didn't say anything and had someone invite them into the theater.
Wu Jianye didn't have time to think about this issue later, because at this time, well-known directors from Xiangjiang also came to the scene one after another.
Three of the most prestigious directors in Hong Kong, Zhang Che, Chu Yuan and Li Hanxiang, came to the scene hand in hand. Wu Jianye respected these three directors very much and took the initiative to go over and shake hands with them for the first time.
Li Hanxiang laughed and said: "Director Wu, this time you are putting a shame on our Chinese director!"
Chinese films have never been the mainstream of world cinema. Even if some films win awards overseas, their influence is still limited. Wu Jianye, as the face of Chinese film directors at this time, has now achieved more achievements than all Chinese directors. , and now he is directing mainstream movies in Hollywood, which have achieved amazing box office success around the world. For people like Li Hanxiang, they are very worthy of admiration!
Wu Jianye said modestly: "I only achieved this result with the help of my seniors!"
"Haha, Director Wu, you don't have to be polite. We know who we are!" Zhang Che said with a laugh.
After the three people entered, other directors from Xiangjiang also entered one after another. Wu Baige, Du Dapao, Guan Jinpeng, Er Dongsheng and others entered one by one, so that the atmosphere of the scene never cooled down.
When Wu Jianye saw several beauties walking on the red carpet with Shi Nansheng, Wu Jianye finally understood why Tsui Hark's expression just now was a bit embarrassing.
Shi Nansheng, Lin Qingxia, Ye Qianwen, Wang Zuxian... It can be said that their appearance immediately attracted the film of all reporters present.
At the same time, anyone who knows Wu Jianye's grudges with the Academy Awards knows that their visit this time is actually a sign of weakness to Wu Jianye.
At that time, in order to take care of the Wanwan market, the Academy Awards gave "The Last Emperor" a zero, which led Wu Jianye to directly angrily attack the Academy Awards. In the end, if Wu Jianye had not been so generous, it is estimated that the Academy Awards would not have been able to be held. .
Among them, Lin Qingxia and other Taiwanese actors were even more embarrassed to be caught in it.
Shi Nansheng stood handsomely in front of Wu Jianye and said with a smile: "Director Wu, you won't welcome us, right?"
