After recording a song for the cook, Xiao Qian felt like her life had been shortened by half a year.
In order to avoid being hit hard again, I quickly returned to the promotion of the movie.
However, he was not without compensation. At least the mainland agency rights for Chef's debut album fell to Starlight Music.
Chen Tuan is also happy to let Starlight Music help produce the album.
After all, this is the largest music company in China, with superb technology, advanced concepts and perfect quality.
There is a saying in the outside world that the albums released by Starlight Music are like works of art. They are a bit expensive, but they are very collectible.
With the title of the second generation star, the chef has always attracted a lot of attention. He has a handsome appearance. With the support of the company and seniors from all walks of life, he has become famous.
And with Starlight Entertainment helping to promote sales, wow, not even the king can keep up with this momentum.
If this is not popular yet, then it is really unjust.
If others were more worried about what might happen, Xiao Qian was the most confident.
Even singing, dancing, rap and xz can be made famous by entertainment companies and capital relying on traffic, but the cooks are not much better than them?
Following ATV's interview program and press interviews with newspapers, the promotion of "October Siege" was officially launched.
Movie posters can be seen in every corner of Hong Kong Island, and several leading actors appear in various programs and newspapers in turn. It gives people the feeling that no matter what they do, they can hear news about them and the movie, and there is no way to avoid it.
People these days are not so disgusted with traffic promotion, and it slowly leaves an impression on their minds.
Oh, on October 1st, there is a good movie with many big names that will be released. Make a note of it quickly to avoid not being able to buy tickets.
But few people have discovered that basically no one cares about Feng Wanqian and his new movie, which should have attracted the most attention at this time.
Occasionally, you can see a piece of news on TV and newspapers, but the roughness of the message naturally has limited publicity effect.
When did Kung Fu Grandmaster stop being popular?
This is the power of capital.
Starlight, the largest entertainment group in mainland China, and Golden Harvest, the largest film company in Hong Kong, have joined together. No one in the industry can be their opponent.
The strangest thing is that none of the Kung Fu superstars who were invited by Feng Wanqian to participate in the movie were very unenthusiastic about promoting the movie.
Many people are complaining privately that this appearance is just to give Feng Wanqian face and return his favor. Otherwise, who is willing to take the risk of offending Mr. Xiao and cause trouble with an old immortal?
Only Feng Wanqian was still working hard to promote his movie, and repeatedly made arrogant remarks in newspapers, claiming that he would drive Xiao Qian out of the Hong Kong film industry, so that he would never dare to make a Kung Fu movie again for the rest of his life.
Naturally, such wild claims were enthusiastically supported by many third-rate tabloids, which kept fanning the flames.
However, all the influential major newspapers chose to stay away from Feng Wanqian. Naturally, ordinary people paid more attention to the large media and did not let such remarks have much impact.
After finishing the promotion work in Xiangjiang, Ning Han and the crew rushed to Taiwan and Malaysia, doing the promotion work overseas for the first time.
Even Shen Jue and Wen Yi rushed back from the United States to join in the propaganda, and they were exhausted to death.
On the contrary, promotion in the Mainland does not require much effort from Starlight Entertainment, as other colleagues will help.
"October Siege" has many investors and advertisers. No one wants the movie to fail, so they all do their best to help promote it.
On September 20, the pre-sale for "October Siege" began.
Originally, everyone was worried that the previous "Opium War" emptied the audience's pockets, resulting in a serious decline in the box office this time.
As a result, the feedback from various places was so good that more than 50% of the theaters were sold out. Especially in the Xiangjiang area, the situation was the best. More than 30 theaters had to start pre-sale of tickets for the second week.
.
The decline of the Hong Kong film market is obvious to everyone, but this decline has little to do with the audience.
The main reason is that there is less hot money invested in the film industry, all film companies are having a hard time, and the substantial increase in actors' salaries has caused the production costs of films to soar. Therefore, the fixed box office cannot make up for the investment in film production, which is why it has declined.
Prime culprit.
No matter in any era, audiences like to watch movies. If there are good movies to watch, people will naturally be willing to go to the theater.
After the decline of local movies in Hong Kong, it gradually became a harvesting ground for Hollywood movies.
Now Xiao Qian has seized the last afterglow of the Xiangjiang movie, taking advantage of the momentum of Xiangjiang's return to enter the industry early and bring mainland influence here, creating a perfect time gap.
The ups and downs of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia have made the people of Xiangjiang feel the pressure. Many people are confused about the future.
Under such circumstances, anything inspiring will be firmly grasped by the people.
"October Siege", both in terms of the title and content of the movie, shows the atmosphere of Hong Kong's critical moment, which is exactly in line with the current events and makes the public feel more sympathetic.
When the answer cannot be found in reality, even movies are regarded as straw by the public.
It was under such a situation that "October Siege" was grandly released.
On the first day, all major theaters were full. But in addition to movie fans, there were also media and colleagues from all walks of life.
The reason why colleagues pay more attention to "October Siege" is very simple, that is, they want to confirm with their own eyes whether Xiao Qian's so-called new action movie can replace the old-school kung fu movies led by Feng Wanqian.
If not, then Feng Wanqian is likely to come back to life.
If it can, then the country will change and a new king will ascend the throne.
From the beginning of the movie, many people were dumbfounded by the different rhythm.
Everyone can be absolutely sure that this is really not the style of a traditional action movie. It can even be said that it is different from "The Master of Tai Chi" produced by Xiao Qian.
The original grudges and hatreds of fighting and killing were suddenly elevated to the level of family and national affairs, and the intentions were not on the same level.
Many people immediately thought of Xiao Qian's The Condor Trilogy.
It also wears the skin of martial arts, but it tells the story of hatred between the country and the family.
This extraordinary young man has great ideas.
After revisions by Xiao Qian and Ning Han, the plot of the new version of "October Siege" is more compact and reaches the climax step by step, giving the audience an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Finally, the much-anticipated fight scene is here.
It is completely different from the traditional punch-and-kick fighting style. The action scenes in "October Siege" are diverse. Every character who takes action does not seem to be like a martial arts master, but they are as beautiful as a butterfly wearing flowers.
Shaolin lay disciple Wang Fuming was as strong as an ox, but he was stabbed into a gourd of blood by the killers' ant-possession tactics.
Fang Hong used chain spears and the killers' street battles were so dangerous that everyone clenched their fists.
The street chase between Chong Yang and the killer Sa Zhenshan was even more enjoyable.
Many people didn't know why Zhong Yang was moving so quickly through the crowds and barricades, but they thought it was so cool.
Many young people keep it in mind and plan to study it when they go back.
In the end, Liu Yubai's one-man husband attracted countless fans.
Shen Jue himself is extremely handsome, and with the blessing of exquisite action design, he suddenly surpasses the others and becomes the most colorful character in the film.
Even Yan Xiaoguo, who was as fierce and violent as a lion, was loved by many people.
Throughout the movie, the audience was so excited that they didn't even urinate.
What moved everyone the most was that every time a martyr died, a brief introduction to their life would appear on the screen.
Before these people bloomed with brilliance, some were street vendors, some were humble rickshaw pullers, some were street girls, some were gamblers who lost their fortune, and some were burdened with huge moral flaws. of homeless people.
But it is this group of people who are everywhere in the world of Xiangjiang and are despised by everyone. They contribute their own strength to their family and country at critical moments without hesitation.
Xiangjiang is originally a culture of small citizens, and this kind of movie in which small people are sublimated immediately infected countless people.
The people of Xiangjiang who have returned to the embrace of their motherland are in a state of confusion. They have not yet had time to define their relationship with the country, nor do they feel how close that motherland is.
However, now, through "October Siege", the bond that blood is thicker than water has been completely stimulated, and a transformation has occurred in the hearts of the audience.
In the cinema where the screening had ended, the audience was still reminiscing about it and didn't have time to leave.
Suddenly, a particularly vicissitudes of singing came from a secluded corner.
【Rivers and mountains are only in my dreams】
[We haven’t been close to our motherland for many years]
[But it can’t be changed no matter what]
【My Chinese Heart】
As soon as Zhang Jian sang this song on the Spring Festival Gala this year, it quickly became popular all over the country, and even caused a huge response in Hong Kong.
But to be honest, in the minds of many people in Xiangjiang, the feelings towards the song are not that deep.
Especially the young people of the next generation are even less able to feel the emotions.
But today, after reading the story of the Xiangjiang people of that era who fought bloody battles for the country, the power of this song suddenly became apparent.
After a while, the entire theater was filled with singing, surging like the sea and stirring like a tide.
