Chapter 209: The premiere of "Kung Fu" begins
No matter what the public opinion storm is about this schedule.
One thing is undeniable.
"Kung Fu" is indeed a production starring the comedy king Stephen Chow, an excellent work he both directed and acted in. His name itself carries box office appeal.
at this point.
No one can deny it.
No matter what the tricks are, Stephen Chow is Stephen Chow.
This is still a work that is visible to the naked eye and will have excellent box office results.
There is room for debate.
It probably depends on which one between "Kung Fu" and "New Police Story" will be the box office champion this time, and who will be able to take the lead in public opinion and box office in this box office competition.
Everyone wants to be the winner and take all. Everyone wants to be the winner who gets everything.
This time, the importance attached to "Kung Fu" and "New Police Story" led to the premiere, and all major media outlets sent their most senior and authoritative editors to write articles for him.
Are the most picky.
The sharpest vision.
The most powerful film critic.
They all have extremely high requirements for movies. If a work is not very good, it will not catch their eyes. Only the two top people in the circle, Stephen Chow and Cheng Shilong, will these two editors-in-chief come to watch it in person and collect materials.
The film editors of "Xiangjiang Entertainment News" and "Southern Metropolis Daily" are the first to bear the brunt. They are the most authoritative newspapers in the entire southern region, and their entertainment sections also have their own absolute advantages and status. The entertainment editors of these two newspapers can influence the subsequent film viewing public opinion to a certain extent.
These two old editors are old acquaintances. They came into the venue together. They are both senior veterans around 50 years old and have been editors of their respective film review sections for 30 years.
"Why are the three people in front so impatient? Don't they know to let us seniors come in first?" At this time, Ye Panxi from the Hong Kong Entertainment News frowned, looking at the three young men in front who came in first.
They are all around 30 years old and are part of the media group invited this time.
"Don't they know to let us two seniors enter first? It's really a bit disrespectful."
Liu Chenglin of Southern Metropolis Daily was also quite surprised.
He didn't care as much as Ye Panxi did, but he was still quite surprised that this young man didn't know the rules.
Then the two of them found out which media outlet the three of them belonged to.
They are from Sina, NetEase and Sohu Culture respectively.
Online media.
"What the hell is the Internet? It turns out to be just a bunch of punks. No wonder they are so irritable and have no rules." Ye Panxi said indignantly.
Southern Metropolis Daily and Hong Kong Entertainment News both have a history of several decades, and even if our predecessors are included, they should be over a hundred years old.
These three online media have only been around for a few years.
To Ye Panxi, he was indeed a little punk of the times.
"Okay, okay, let's just watch the movie." At this time Liu Chenglin found a seat in the front row and sat down. This was a privilege given to editors of their two newspapers.
No matter what, watching movies is the most important thing, and he is eager to try to watch Stephen Chow's movies.
At this time, the three editors of the new online media were also discussing the matter.
The editor from Sohu Media said: "I guess Stephen Chow must be regretting it now. He got an actor that no one else wanted, which was a big deal. If this incident hadn't happened, there wouldn't have been any public outcry."
He used to be an editor of "Story Club", and later switched to an Internet portal.
"Master Xing is such a stubborn person, and we in the industry are probably aware of this."
"It's also possible that New Police Story is just not suitable for this role. We don't know who is better or worse." The editor of Sina is more rational: "After all, A-Zu also became famous at a young age and is considered an actor with some skills. Being worse than him doesn't mean that he will act badly."
"That's true."
The three of them were like this, discussing one after another. The interesting thing was that the three of them were all from the online media, and they couldn't get along with the people from the print media. They also didn't bother to discuss with the "little punks" from the online media. They looked down on the people over here, and so only these three could discuss together.
But the only consensus is that no matter what the result is, Stephen Chow definitely suffered a loss this time, as he got actors that others didn't want and had to force them to schedule the same films.
I'm afraid now I'm regretting my stubbornness.
Or to say.
It would be good if he could come out to clarify or defend himself during this period of time.
The set of the premiere.
Right here and now.
"Xiao Li, come here, here." At this moment Yuan Hua called Li Yun over.
This time, the leading actor of the premiere also sat in the best viewing seat.
The leading actor should sit in this best viewing position.
Li Yuan followed Yuan Hua's direction and sat down next to him.
"Senior Yang Xiaolong, Senior Yuanhua."
"There were quite a few disturbances before the release of this movie." At this moment, Yang Xiaolong felt a little emotional. This time the public opinion disturbance really had some impact on everyone.
Of course, they are also experienced and have seen a lot.
The main person of concern is Li Yun. After all, Li Yun is still too young and may not have seen such a big scene.
Things like this, where the top two sides engage in a war of public opinion, dragging in the supporting characters as well.
A bit dirty though.
But it is still within the normal business scope.
"He said where is Master Xing?" Li Yun looked around but didn't see Master Xing. He didn't come at this time.
"Isn't it here?" Yang Xiaolong pointed to the other side.
Stephen Chow, who did look a little unkempt, came wearing a simple floral shirt.
He also wore sunglasses indoors.
A bit lazy indeed.
Yuan Hua looked at Master Xing and said.
"You didn't sleep until now?"
"We're not filming, why are you here so punctual?" Stephen Chow is still so casual and lazy. Apart from filming, he doesn't care about anything, no matter if it's people, things or himself.
But no matter how lazy he is, he is the protagonist of this premiere.
Where the spotlight is.
The best actor.
top notch.
These two words are used to describe him.
It was here that Li Yun truly felt one thing.
What a real grand occasion! The spotlight was on Huayi’s leaders, the media people who came over, and everyone stood up to welcome him.
A big brother with a very important position.
Li Yun was also somewhat shocked.
Before, on the set, I only felt that he was the protagonist and the director, and I didn't feel his status at all.
Even outside the set, he can already feel the status that the honor has brought him.
It is a truly unparalleled position.
"My ideal is to become someone like him, no, to be more impressive than Stephen Chow, and to attract more attention."
At this moment, everyone is looking at Stephen Chow.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
This giant has to be respected by everyone in the industry.
Let’s see who he will give face to this time.
Who to sit next to.
Even who he sat next to at the premiere was a newsworthy event.
Every move is a hot topic and news.
At this moment, Zhou Xingxing looked around.
The CEO of Huayi, the boss of Hong Kong Media, and the old hands in the industry all had an empty seat next to them. They all looked at Stephen Chow with a slight smile, expecting him to come over.
Then Zhou Xingxing thought about it and walked straight to the other side.
Under everyone's eyes.
This kind of meta-speak.
"Can I have a seat, please?"
"Do you have to be so disrespectful to me?"
"Thanks."
Master Xing smiled slightly.
The whole place was silent.
Yuanhua was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, then he left his seat cursing, in a place no one expected him to be.
Master Xing was sitting next to Li Yun and asked.
"Would you like to order a cup of milk tea?"
"No, thank you."
At this time, the editors from the newspaper portals who were invited were shocked. Stephen Chow's action was indeed intriguing and shocking.
Is it intentional? Or is he just so casual? There are so many big names in the industry, why don't he choose to give it to the new generation of small-timers?
A new generation of third-tier cities of the same age.
This time, Li Yun was the one who was being grilled by public opinion.
What is the background of this young man?
Everyone was speculating for a while.
In a sense, this is more dramatic than Stephen Chow choosing to sit next to a certain big shot.
And this time, what Master Xing did.
It seems to explain one thing.
It can also be regarded as a strong counterattack against recent public opinion.
I chose him myself.
The movie officially begins this time.
The beginning of "Kung Fu".
It starts with a magical dance.
"Who else!"
The gangsters in the chaotic land, the police chief who was losing money like crazy in the police station, and the little pony who was taught a lesson because he provoked the concubine of the big boss.
Witty sense of humor, with guest appearance by Feng Pants.
I didn’t expect that this guest-starring director from the Beijing circle actually had his own comedic talent.
Li Yun also looked at Feng Kuzi. He hadn't met him on the set that day. It was estimated that this scene was filmed later.
No matter what he said, this passage is indeed full of black humor.
Who else was there at that sound?
Quite arrogant.
The lawless feeling of this place is vividly interpreted.
The big boss can beat up the small policeman in the police station and then make him apologize for him.
What's even funnier is when he calls out who else is there.
Someone really came.
The Axe Gang.
They were blocked at the door of the police station.
And when Feng Kuzi and the others panicked and were about to turn back.
However, he found that the door of the police station had been tightly closed, and the police chief who had just addressed him as "brother" and "boss" now ignored him.
The police chief was counting more money inside and simply ignored the gang fight.
When Feng Kuzi and his concubine were hacked to death by the leader of the Axe Gang.
This black humor movie-watching journey has officially begun.
Demonic dance, chaotic order.
This is... Kung Fu.
