Chapter 421 Cultural Connotation
Feng Zidong watched the film very seriously, with an attitude of learning. But as he watched, he forgot the purpose of learning and immersed himself in the plot.
The plot is very smooth and has many breakthroughs. It is not only not inferior to the first part, but even surpasses it. The most eye-catching character is of course the heroine Yunxiao. When she appears in full dress, the director uses the overhead shot from the first part to make Yunxiao beautiful and heroic in every aspect, confident, strong, tenacious and fearless.
Feng Zidong believes that Hu Xiaoxiao's looks and style alone are enough to earn back the ticket price. Not only in Hong Kong, but even among other foreign actresses, there are no actresses like Hu Xiaoxiao.
Hu Xiaoxiao's fighting skills were still so impressive that he secretly applauded, which showed him his shortcomings. Hu Xiaoxiao's acting skills had also improved significantly, with several details handled very well, which brought out his emotions.
Besides the dazzling heroine Hu Xiaoxiao, the contrasting setting of the male lead is also impressive. Jiang Muyang's acting in the film impressed Feng Zidong. He not only played the gentle, handsome and wealthy nobleman, but also portrayed his dark side very vividly and meticulously. Especially under the director's changing lighting, the character's performance was interpreted as a venomous scorpion beauty. She behaved eccentrically and madly, with a destructive extreme personality. However, the crazier she became, the more beautiful she became. This feeling made people hate and love her at the same time. It was very addictive.
Feng Zidong particularly loves the character of Da Lai. He couldn't recognize the actor playing him; he looked vaguely familiar, yet also incredibly unfamiliar. He seemed like a newcomer, yet his acting and portrayal of the character were anything but. He was captivated by the character. Not only was his martial arts brutal and ruthless, but he also captured the character's ruthlessness, brutality, and sinister nature to the fullest, making him unique among the villains of Hong Kong and Taiwan films. Feng Zidong was most captivated by the scenes where Da Lai jumped from a car window. He was thrilled to watch them, and he could already imagine the recognition this character would receive from the industry after the film's release.
What really struck Feng Zidong was the other three female super-female characters. At one point, the constant switching of shots, each lasting just a few seconds, left Feng Zidong slightly stunned and heartbroken. Each shot featured the three super-female characters in a different look and outfit, yet each one perfectly capturing their unique personalities and temperaments as they moved past iconic buildings in Baogang.
Through this plot, it not only shows the fashionable and beautiful side of the three queens, but also displays the customs and practices of Baogang. The movie shows the true Hong Kong flavor.
Feng Zidong saw something that made "Baogang's Queen of Love 2" different from other films. This plot made "Baogang's Queen of Love 2" directly different from other commercial films because it showed the cultural connotation, the culture of Baogang, and the unique customs and practices of Baogang.
To project a sense of sophistication, directors of Hong Kong films often film abroad, imbuing their films with a sense of fashion. While they're called Hong Kong films, they often capture the beauty of other countries. Previously, Feng Zidong didn't see anything wrong with this; after all, Hong Kong was too small to film much.
However, after watching this clip from "Baogang Love Flower 2", Feng Zidong couldn't help but feel a sense of pride when he saw the director integrate Baogang's customs and people so naturally into the background, and saw the three beautiful girls' clothing styles perfectly matched with the background, complementing each other and showing a strong Baogang style.
It turns out that the appearance of Baogang in the film can be so high-end and fashionable! This is definitely a high-quality Baogang promotional video!
Feng Zidong believes that everyone who loves Hong Kong will be proud to be a Hong Konger after watching this film.
Feng Zidong has confirmed that the box office of this movie will definitely not be worse than the first "The Queen of Hong Kong". In fact, because of the good foundation laid by the first part and the accumulated audience, plus the high quality and cultural connotation of the second part, the box office of the second part will definitely reach a new height.
Not to mention that the three major cinema chains have scheduled so many screenings for "Bao Hong Kong Police Force 2", and other small cinemas have also scheduled a large proportion of screenings.
After watching the premiere of "Hong Kong Princess Agents 2", Feng Zidong was very optimistic about the film.
Hu Xiaoxiao invited the two general managers of Baoguang Cinema Line and Shanhai Cinema Line to come over today. There were also several senior executives from other film companies, such as Mr. Li, the boss of Jincan Film and Television, which is about to cooperate with Shengshi. After the film was over, Mr. Li, the boss of Jincan, had the biggest smile on his face.
From the quality of the film "The Princess Weiyoung 2", Mr. Li saw the strength of Shengshi Entertainment. The two companies have signed a cooperation agreement, so Jincan's artists can cooperate with Shengshi with confidence in the future, and maybe they can reach a higher level with the help of Shengshi's resources.
After watching the film, Mr. Li was the first to stand up and congratulate Hu Xiaoxiao. "Sister Xiao, this film is really well made. Not only is the plot good and the characters well-drawn, but what I like most is that the customs and people of Baogang are naturally captured in the film, showing that Baogang is both fashionable and has a profound history and culture. Once the copyright of this film is sold worldwide, Baogang can be promoted all over the world. As a Baogang native, I am very proud."
Hu Xiaoxiao said: "This is a new attempt by Shengshi Entertainment. As a native of Baogang, the film we make must promote Baogang and let the world know about it. I also hope that through Baogang, the world can know and understand our Chinese culture and our national spirit of self-improvement."
Li Sheng's eyes lit up with surprise. "Sister Xiao, what you said is really good. I've been working in the film and television industry in Baogang for so many years, but I'm not as far-sighted and thoughtful as Sister Xiao. I think our Jin Can films can also focus more on promoting Baogang in the future."
Tian Wanjie, the general manager of the nearby Baoguang Cinema Line, heard this and said with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with this approach. Only when Baoguang Cinema Line gets better and better will our film industry develop better and better."
Of course, the first thing is to make money. If you can make money, everything will be fine. If you can't make money, then...
However, Tian Wanjie believes that "The Queen of Love 2" is a good test film. If the style of "The Queen of Love 2" can become popular, perhaps there will be another type of film that can be shot in the film market in the future.
With more types of films and they are easy to sell, theaters will naturally make a lot of money.
Tian Wanjie happily talked a lot with Sister Xiao, which made Lin Zhanbo, the general manager of Shanhai Cinema Line, next to him very jealous.
Today, Huang Yuliang, another boss of Shengshi Entertainment, was also present. He was accompanied by several bosses who came from Taiwan.
If Shengshi Entertainment wanted to expand further, it had to expand beyond Taiwan. Formosa also had a market. While Formosa's film market wasn't as strong as Hong Kong's, it was still a piece of the pie. If they could capture it, they'd have an extra piece of the pie. So, he specially invited several Taiwan film distributors to screen the film and discuss the possibility of releasing "Taiwanese Superwoman 2" in Taiwan.
