"DreamWorks' second film - "A Chinese Ghost Story" is about to be released"
"Leslie Cheung! A man trapped in time, now he has changed!"
"The most fairy-like female ghost - Wang Zuxian, she is here!"
"Produced by DreamWorks, it must be a high-quality product."
DreamWorks Pictures has spent huge sums of money to promote "A Chinese Ghost Story" since mid-November, buying a large number of TV ads and newspaper ads, and publishing them in its magazines, giving it enough attention.
This kind of treatment was not even given in "A Better Tomorrow". In fact, Lin Zuhui knew that the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was not high, probably more than 15 million; but this drama was a movie starring Wang Zuxian, and he
In order to make my girlfriend happy, I naturally spend a lot of money.
With a large amount of media resources, "A Chinese Ghost Story" ushered in a midnight preview screening on November 22 (Friday).
The midnight movie period is generally from 22:00 to 24:00. Midnight movies in movie theaters are basically midnight premieres. The post-viewing evaluation of the midnight movie is a "hard indicator" for Hong Kong movies. People do not have to fill the seats.
But it must be well received by the audience present.
Therefore, as a director or starring actor in a movie, they usually choose to participate in it and feel the market's evaluation immediately. Because after the midnight show, it is not immediately released to the public. There is a buffer time in the middle for the director to re-edit and make a final decision.
Adjustment.
Before the midnight show of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Lin Zuhui hosted a banquet for a group of creative teams such as Xu Ke, Chen Xiaodong, Leslie Cheung, Wang Zuxian, etc., and also invited Pan Disheng to come.
Because the midnight show of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was screened at the Grand Theater, the leading theater of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, with Dickson Poon as the host, and the two of them have been having a heated fight recently and have cooperated in many aspects, so it was not enough to show up.
Strange.
During the banquet, Wang Zuxian transformed into Lin Zuhui's girlfriend, which made Pan Disheng stunned. Who is this friend he made? He has three girlfriends at the same time?
Michelle Yeoh alone is already too much for him, but he can actually handle three!
Lin Zuhui doesn't care at all now - the fact that he has several girlfriends at the same time will be known by the media, or by several women.
To put it bluntly, even if these women knew what Lin Zuhui was doing, they would just pretend not to know!
As for Wang Zuxian, Lin Zuhui's scandal was reported a lot in the Hong Kong media, but she never asked questions and pretended not to know; even if she only stayed with her one or two nights a week, she never raised any objection.
Therefore, Lin Zuhui also began to take her seriously. It is difficult to find such a woman.
In this drama, Wang Zuxian used stand-ins in many of the touching scenes.
Speaking of which, it was Xu Ke who reminded Lin Zuhui that Wang Zuxian had many kissing scenes in this drama. At that time, Lin Zuhui said to use a body double.
Xu Ke had no choice. After all, Lin Zuhui was the big benefactor.
As for whether it’s a classic or not, Lin Zuhui doesn’t care that much!
On the second floor of Shaw Brothers Theatre, Lin Zuhui and his party were sitting in the auditorium, waiting to watch the movie and survey the public sentiment.
After a while, the Cane Biters walked into the theater one after another, which instantly made the filming team of "A Chinese Ghost Story" a little nervous.
The so-called "cane biting gang" means: around 11 o'clock in the evening, there are already crowds of people in front of the theater showing the midnight show, and itinerant vendors are shouting and selling sugar cane, fried chestnuts, braised beef offal, roasted corn, popcorn and other snacks (now
Most of the theaters in the theater do not have concession stands) and are very lively. The majority of the audience at the midnight show are young people, men and women, calling for friends. After entering the theater and taking a seat, they chew sugar cane while cheering or yelling. If they are not satisfied, they will even throw the sugar cane away.
Throwing it onto the screen, the audience at the midnight show got the nickname "The Cane Biters".
Xu Ke joked: "Lin Sheng and Pan Sheng must not stay after watching the movie. If you encounter the Cane Biting Gang causing trouble, we will cover you two and leave first!"
The reason why Xu Ke was teasing like this was undoubtedly because the two of them were rich people and could not stand the atmosphere at that time.
Lin Zuhui also smiled and said: "Brother Pan, don't worry, my bodyguards will take care of you first. Brother, I know a few tricks."
Dickson Poon suddenly believed it. DreamWorks couldn't really make a bad movie! Speaking of which, his girlfriend Michelle Yeoh's "The Royal Sisters" also had a midnight screening in the past few days. The two movies collided with each other, and he felt that
I really hope that "The Royal Sister" will beat "A Chinese Ghost Story", and then I will be able to offer my treasure.
"I'm not the creative team of "A Chinese Ghost Story", nor am I the boss. Why are they asking me for trouble? But you, my brother, have to protect your younger siblings when the time comes, right?"
When Wang Zuxian heard that the topic was about herself, she didn't say anything, but just held Lin Zuhui's arm tightly.
She is a little nervous now for many reasons: first, she is worried about the box office of this drama, because Lin Zuhui once said that this drama can make her a first-line female star in Hong Kong; secondly, she is worried that Lin Zuhui will watch it
I'm jealous of those hugging scenes. If that's the case, should I stop making movies and become a rich girl?
She quickly threw away her second thought. She vaguely knew that Lin Zuhui's private life was not that simple, so she worked hard in filming and could not rely entirely on this man.
Lin Zuhui patted the back of Wang Zuxian's hand and said deliberately: "That's not necessarily the case. Those people are not willing to attack Zuxian when they see it. I think it's better for me to protect myself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zuhui felt his arm was bitten by an ant!
"Haha, I'm smart!"
When the screening began, hundreds of viewers were quickly captivated and received rave reviews.
"The female ghost played by Wang Zuxian is too fairy-like. I hope I can meet such a female ghost!"
"The scholar played by my brother is so handsome. It would be great if such a scholar wished me."
"Holy crap, how come this Dryad Granny is played by a man? What a scary old goblin. I hope I don't dream about him at night!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The costumes, framing, etc. of this movie are absolutely excellent. The reason why the box office was not high in the previous life is because the subject matter is niche and there is no big card.
Si starred in. However, if it can earn 17 million at the box office, it can at least be said to be a profitable film.
If the box office is not very good, the impact on Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian is long-term and profound; when many people mention the two, they will always think of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian.
In her previous life, Joey Wong became popular all over the country with the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", and her popularity remained high even in Japan and South Korea. In South Korea, Joey Wong's net worth even set a Korean record, and she was selected as the most popular female star. In Japan, Joey Wong
She has been ranked as the most popular foreign female star many times, and has been called "the most beautiful legs in Asia". She has also become the darling of major advertisers. Wang Zuxian also took this opportunity to release a Japanese album.
After watching the movie, there was no riot as expected. All attention was focused on the romantic love story between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, and they were also immersed in this story of subduing demons.
"Brother Hui, are we successful?"
"Of course, don't worry, there is no problem with the box office exceeding 15 million. Our DreamWorks production will definitely be a high-quality product."
While watching the movie, when Lin Zuhui took Wang Zuxian to say goodbye to everyone, Leslie Cheung stopped Lin Zuhui.
"Boss Lin, wait a minute!"
Lin Zuhui turned around and saw Leslie Cheung running up.
Although Leslie Cheung did not sign any contract with DreamWorks, it is not wrong to say that his achievements in movies were brought about by DreamWorks; before there was "A Better Tomorrow" which broke the box office record in Hong Kong, and now there is "A Chinese Ghost Story"
》Incoming.
Everyone cooperated well, but Lin Zuhui didn't have much social contact with him. Lin Zuhui didn't have much social contact with all the male stars. There was no need for him to make those friends. After all, it takes time to make friends, and what Lin Zuhui lacked was time.
"Leslie, what's the matter with you?"
Although he is not a friend, he is his money-making tool. In addition, the fashion retail store also plans to sponsor him and ask him to endorse him, so he might as well show his goodwill.
"Boss Lin, I would like to ask if I can include the theme song of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the album. I heard that this is the song you wrote for Zu Xian!"
Lin Zuhui immediately looked at Wang Zuxian. Those who dared to reveal his secrets were definitely not Xu Ke, Chen Xiaodong and others.
Sure enough, Wang Zuxian stuck out her tongue and hid behind Lin Zuhui.
Of course she knew that Lin Zuhui didn't want to be in the limelight, but she couldn't help but show off to a few people, including Leslie Cheung.
"There is no problem with this, but you have to write on the album that the lyrics and music are 'anonymous', and you are not allowed to leak this information!" Lin Zuhui emphasized.
"Don't worry, Boss Lin, I'm not a big talker, I can keep secrets!"
Lin Zuhui nodded. This is true. Leslie Cheung knew the secret of his relationship with Wang Zuxian before, but there was never any news about it.
"good!"
After Lin Zuhui finished speaking, he was about to leave.
"Boss Lin, should I discuss the money matter with Manager Pan?"
"No money, just tell him so! I'll ask you for an endorsement deal later, just give me a discount!"
"Okay, Boss Lin, you have the final say!"
One song can cost tens of thousands, but many of Leslie Cheung's endorsements cost more than 100,000 yuan. He agreed without hesitation, and he was obviously grateful to DreamWorks for making him famous in movies.
Moreover, there will be sequels to "A Better Tomorrow" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", and we will continue to cooperate.
.....
The house that Lin Zuhui gave to Wang Zuxian is also in Baguio Bay. The entire Baguio Bay covers an area of 800,000 square feet. If residential buildings are built according to the standards of large housing estates, a large housing estate with at least 5,000 residential units can be built; but at that time, the new Only 1,300 luxury residential communities have been built in the world. It can be seen that the environment here is still very good, with complete facilities and equipment, including two large swimming pools, tennis courts, basketball courts and complete public facilities.
After returning home, Lin Zuhui said deliberately unhappily: "Wang Zuxian, how dare you reveal my secret!"
Wang Zuxian immediately apologized and said: "Brother Hui, please forgive me. Besides, I just said that my boyfriend wrote it for me, not that you wrote it!"
"So, your boyfriend is not me anymore?"
Wang Zuxian's expression suddenly changed, and she said with some resentment: "My boyfriend is you, but your girlfriend may not be me!"
The incident happened suddenly and almost caught Lin Zuhui off guard.
However, he quickly said: "I saw some gossip news and just thought about it. You don't have many scandals and gossips. Am I jealous?"
Wang Zuxian was speechless and said: "When there is gossip about my place, I know how to change the subject!"
Lin Zuhui didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, so he said: "Okay, let's not hold each other accountable! It's all gossip anyway!"
"Hmph, you pass!"
In fact, Wang Zuxian believed that Lin Zuhui's news was true, but she was unwilling to fall out now, so she pretended not to know.
At this time, Lin Zuhui took out a bag and said to Wang Zuxian: "Put on Xiaoqian's clothes and show me!" There was a trace of expectation and pure desire on his face.
Wang Zuxian was stunned and opened the package in disbelief. When she saw that it was indeed a play, she immediately said: "Where did you get this costume?"
"I am the owner of a film company, and this costume belongs to our company. Is there anything wrong if I take it?"
"Ah! But did you take it quietly?"
"Yes, I asked my subordinates to bring it to me!"
"What?"
"Don't worry, my men are strict with their mouths. Go and change them quickly! The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping. Tonight I am Ning Caichen, and I want to deal with you Nie Xiaoqian!"
Wang Zuxian bit her lip gently. If she didn't love the man opposite her so much, she really wanted to throw her clothes on Lin Zuhui. Damn it!
Wang Zuxian said harshly: "Just wait, dressing up also takes time!" and then walked into the cloakroom.
Lin Zuhui suddenly felt itchy in his heart. The love between man and ghost was still lingering, and he could actually perform it!
However, he also knew that he was a little too much. After all, Wang Zuxian was only eighteen years old and had a thin skin, so he couldn't let go in that regard.
But the bottom line is meant to be broken. The more he acts like a 'gentleman', the less he can handle these women.
After a while, Wang Zuxian walked out quietly, resembling Nie Xiaoqian in the play.
"Brother Hui, when I was filming this scene, Director Xu Ke said that my appearance and clothing were very suitable for Nie Xiaoqian, but my movements were not good enough, so he asked me to go to the Huaxia Drama Dance Class to learn... I will dance for you
Dance, okay?"
Wang Zuxian's eyes were full of romantic feelings and she wanted to show the results of her studies in front of Lin Zuhui.
This is the tune you need!
Lin Zuhui has just experienced the fun of the emperor in ancient times. There are also singing and dancing performances, and he can get started directly during the performance.
Watching Nie Xiaoqian dancing in the room, Lin Zuhui quickly assumed the role of Ning Caichen.
However, Ning Caichen didn't seem to have much patience. Before Nie Xiaoqian finished dancing, he grabbed someone else's waist and hugged her.
"Xiaoqian, it's time for us to consummate our marriage!"
"Brother Hui, don't tear your clothes, they can still be used next time!"
"If I don't tear it up, this skirt will be easy to wear!"
"Zuxian, your legs are so beautiful!"
A night of spring, the love between man and ghost is not over!
The next day, Lin Zuhui looked at the naked Wang Zuxian with satisfaction, and then looked at the stained costume on the ground, secretly thinking that he was really fucking ridiculous, but role-playing was really exciting and interesting.
