Chapter 451: Invitation Again
Three months of filming is quite a long time for a fast-paced Hong Kong film. During these three months, the filming schedule was packed, with continuous day and night shooting and constant lens polishing, striving for perfection.
After the film came out, Hu Xiaoxiao and Huang Yuliang were very satisfied and even invited Steven and people from the Security Bureau to watch it.
It's rare to see a film that doesn't portray them in a negative light. The officers in the film are all handsome and have positive personalities, which the Security Bureau expressed great satisfaction with. The film's adaptation portrays everything that happened at the jewelry exhibition as being under their control, which should significantly enhance the image of the Hong Kong police in the eyes of the public.
If it wasn't against the rules, the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau would have wanted to commend Hu Xiaoxiao and Shengshi Entertainment.
"It's well-made, very exciting. I will definitely take my family to the cinema to watch it," the Deputy Secretary for Security said to Hu Xiaoxiao with a casual smile. "I've seen both the first and second parts of 'The Queen of Hong Kong' in the cinema, and each one is more exciting than the last. Ms. Hu, you are the pride of us in Hong Kong."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I will keep working hard and make more films that showcase the beautiful and positive image of Baogang, and enhance our Baogang's image internationally," said Hu Xiaoxiao.
The deputy director nodded several times and said, "Ms. Hu is a true filmmaker. Filmmakers can't just focus on making money; they must also have their own social responsibilities and play a positive role in guiding people."
Steven, on the side, took the opportunity to say to his boss, "Why don't we add a private movie theater as a bonus this month?"
The deputy director thought about it and thought it was a good idea. "It's settled."
With official support, the film was quickly approved and released, and the official media gave it extensive coverage, creating a wave of momentum for the film.
All major cinemas, including the Grand Cinema line, have full screenings, and any film must give way to their own films. If they don't give way? Then they'll just be cannon fodder.
Baoguang Cinemas, because of the participation of his artist, who is also a new star recently promoted by Jincan Company, must increase the screening schedule, whether for the sake of cooperation with Shengshi Entertainment or to promote their own artists. Not to mention, every one of Hu Xiaoxiao's films has made Baoguang Cinemas a huge profit.
Although Shanhai Cinemas didn't have any celebrities attached to "The Princess Diaries 3," they've significantly increased their screening schedule for the sake of money and box office revenue. With the overall film market downturn, a movie with the potential to make a lot of money has arrived. If they don't seize this rare opportunity to make money, they'll likely face bankruptcy and several theaters this year.
Other movies also gave way. As early as the release date of "The Princess Diaries 3" was known, some had been withdrawn from the schedule, some had been delayed. No movie dared to go head-on with it.
"The Princess Diaries 3" did not disappoint these theater chains and small cinemas, and its box office has been rising steadily since its release.
Adapted from the true events of the Baogang Jewelry Exhibition, this gimmick alone has attracted the curiosity of many Baogang citizens. In addition, the starring role is Hu Xiaoxiao, so the quality is guaranteed.
This film brings together real events, a film that has caused a major international impact, magnificent jewelry, fashionable and modern costumes, a wonderful plot, exciting and thrilling action, and actors who are both eye-catching and fashionable. All these elements are integrated with the unique customs and culture of Baogang. When citizens come to watch the movie, they not only get a visual feast, but also emotional satisfaction. As Baogang people, they feel extremely proud to see such a beautiful image of Baogang people and the city.
Therefore, once the movie was released, tickets were hard to come by. It was so popular that the cinema was as busy as Chinese New Year during the day, and people lined up to buy tickets until the early hours of the night.
The hottest topic in town is "Baogang's Love Flower 3." Is the film's portrayal of the sir's exceptional intelligence and mastery of strategy true, or is the rumor about him nearly getting busted by thieves true? Baogang's international jewelry exhibition was such a success; could they apply to host international events in the future to enhance their global profile?
The dissemination, guidance and influence of movies are enormous. The image of the police officer created in "The Princess Diaries 3", coupled with the wonderful movie and the ICPO's commendation of Hong Kong police in reality, has made more and more people begin to believe that the police officers in Hong Kong are very capable, smart, responsible and trustworthy, and are not the stupid and dumb clown images in previous movies.
Coupled with the positive image of the Hong Kong police in the TV series, some of the negative images in the previous Baogang Jewelry Exhibition were quickly transformed into positive ones.
Seeing these changes, the Security Bureau has once again increased its cooperation with Shengshi Entertainment, hoping to promote the film "Hong Kong Princess 3" to further areas.
Hu Xiaoxiao is even busier.
While she was busy, Hamlet Film Company once again invited Hu Xiaoxiao to play the leading role in the movie.
Hu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Hasn't this movie been filmed yet?"
She remembered that the film started shooting only a month later than "The Empress of China 3". Now "The Empress of China 3" is about to be released, so why hasn't the filming started there yet?
"I checked." Dong Peiyu told Hu Xiaoxiao what she had found. "After you turned it down last time, Hamlet Company looked around for candidates but couldn't find a suitable one, so they put the project on hold. This time, I heard your film has finished filming and is about to be released. You should have some free time to film, so I'm inviting you again."
"Why are they targeting me? There are so many female stars in Hollywood, why not choose one of them? Even if the heroine is an oriental wizard, there are many Asian faces in Hollywood, so why not choose one of them?"
Dong Peiyu shook her head and smiled. She looked deeper and further. "They're attracted to you not only because you're a big hit in the international fashion world, but more importantly, because of your box office appeal. In other words, they're interested in the Asian film market and hope that your participation will help them make a fortune at the Asian box office, expand the Asian market, and pave the way for their company's future films to be released in Asia."
In other words, inviting Hu Xiaoxiao to play the leading female role is more effective in the Asian market than any publicity.
While Hollywood has a large market in Europe and the United States, competition among Hollywood film companies is fierce. To improve their competitiveness, some companies have begun expanding abroad. Asia, with its largest population, is their first choice for expansion.
After understanding all this, Dong Peiyu admired Hu Xiaoxiao even more for always being himself, doing his best, and becoming stronger and bigger. When flowers bloom, butterflies will come.
Hu Xiaoxiao still refused, "Please help me reject them. I'm very busy now and have more important things to do."
The first Shengshi Cinema in Shenzhen is about to open. This is a major event for Shengshi Entertainment to deploy in the mainland market. She is currently negotiating with mainlanders about introducing "The Princess Weiyoung 3" to the mainland market, hoping that this movie can make a good start for Shengshi Cinema.
The major strategic development of Shengshi Entertainment Company is more important than anything else.
