184 [A group of weak chickens] (for book friends become magic forever
Just as Sammo Hung worked overtime and was busy with the post-production of "Lin Shirong", Ye Jin also used his influence to help him promote.
He is now the most popular and most box office star in Xiangjiang because of the popularity of the three movies "The Snake-shaped Hand", "Drunk Fist" and "The God-Strike", and has hundreds of thousands of movie fans.
The magazines with him as the cover can always sell a lot of more; the newspapers that publish his news can always sell them out earlier. Therefore, Ye Jin naturally became the darling of the media, and the media always reported his news first.
Therefore, Ye Jin ordered Chen Ziqiang to let go of the wind, and the movie "Lin Shirong" written and produced by him will meet the audience soon.
Once this news was disclosed, it immediately attracted media reports.
[Ye Jin's new work is completed and will be released soon!]
[Ye Jin's new work takes over "Drunk Fist" and continues the story of Huang Feihong!]
[Ye Jin personally takes action and continues the heroic legend!]
When Ye Jin saw the title and content of these reports, he couldn't help but feel a little amused.
What he clearly told the media was that he was just the screenwriter and producer of "Lin Shirong", not a starring actor, and he had never even appeared in the film. However, according to the media's reporting method, it seemed that the movie "Drunk Fist 2" starring him was released.
When the movie fans saw this news, they ran to the midnight show happily and encouraged, but they saw a fat man as the protagonist and would definitely stomp his feet and scold the streets. So these media are really a scam.
However, if you look at it carefully, if you put such a title, the content cannot be wrong.
After all, "Lin Shirong" was indeed written and produced by him, and it is also his new work. "Lin Shirong" tells a story related to Wong Fei-hong.
"These title parties are so annoying!" Ye Jin said speechlessly.
However, the news of the title party was also thanked to these titles, and the news about [Ye Jin's new work] was soon spread.
When the movie fans heard this, they were naturally excited and asked when the new work would be released. The ticket gates of more than a dozen theaters under Jiahe have become inquiry offices, and there are always people coming to inquire about the time when the movie will be released.
After reporting these news, Zou Wenhuai knew about it, he couldn't help but sigh at He Guanchang and Cai Yongchang's popularity.
...
The news that Ye Jin's new work was about to be released also surprised all sectors of the film industry, and they wanted to reschedule or release it in advance.
Because Ye Jin's movies are all very high, like "Drunk Fist" and "Divine Fighting" even broke the box office records. The box office of the movies released at the same time will be affected. Even "Sound, Sex, Dog, Horse" jointly produced by Li Hanxiang and Xu Rongwen was a loser.
Other movies do not have such configurations, so how dare you fight against it head-on. Therefore, several companies that have new films to be released quickly to inquire about when Ye Jin’s new work will be released, so you must not crash the car.
After they carefully inquired, they realized that the movie to be released was not a movie starring Ye Jin, but a movie starring Sammo Hung.
The reason why we promote under Ye Jin's guise is that the media is just selling more newspapers.
After learning the news, several film companies were relieved and arranged for their own movies to be released as usual.
If it is a movie starring Ye Jin, they really dare not fight head-on. They are worried that the egg will hit the stone and will be crushed to pieces.
But Sammo Hung is not afraid. He is just a martial artist. Even if he becomes a director or a starring actor, he will have any box office appeal. If his virtue is to be famous, there will be no one in Hong Kong that can be famous.
Ye Jin is also asking about which movies will be released recently and see which masters "Lin Shirong" will face.
After some inquiries, he finally felt relieved.
It turns out that there are six movies released at the same time as "Lin Shirong".
They are Xiao's "Chengji Teahouse", "Young and Young Woman"; Leiming Pictures' "Laughing Couple"; Jiahe Pictures' "Life and Death Battle"; Dazhong and Guangming Pictures' "Monkey Boxer Four" and Minglong Pictures' "Psychedelic Baby" launched by Minglong Pictures.
"Chengji Tea House" starring Chen Guantai, tells the story of how a retired big brother Cheng, wanders and struggles between the police and the Black Gang.
Ye Jin watched this movie in his previous life and it was indeed very good. His style was realistic and critical. It can be regarded as the pioneering work of modern Hong Kong-style black gang films.
However, compared to the dark-gang kung fu films like "Ma Yongzhen", there are not many fighting scenes in "Sung Ji Teahouse", and it is more like a realistic art film. After all, its director Gui Zhihong is a well-known angry young man.
Therefore, it basically has no impact on the box office of "Lin Shirong". After all, these days, there are few snow and many people in the lower limbs. How can it attract audiences when shooting a black-gang film?
"Youth and the Young Woman" is directed by He Menghua and starring Wang Yu, Hu Yanni, Eddy and others. It is a social ethics film. It feels so attractive when you look at the name, but in fact the content is basically a staggering game. It is a product of the popular "Spring in Denmark", "Denmark's Garland", "Female Concentration Camp" and so on.
Although this type of movie could attract a lot of salty and humid guys when it first released, the box office would immediately plummet in two days, so it was also not a rival to "Lin Shirong".
...
"The Psychedelic Baby" launched by Minglong Film is starring Xie Xian and Bei Di. You can tell from the name that it is also a movie that plays the edge, just like "Young and Young Woman".
There have been many such movies in the past two years, but the box office of other movies in the early days "Spring in Denmark" and "Denmark's Garland" are not very popular.
So Ye Jin doesn't think this movie will be the opponent of "Lin Shirong".
...
Leiming Film's "Laughter and Tear" is directed by Wang Jing's father Wang Tianlin, starring Yi Lei, He Shouxin, Shen Dianxia, Zheng Shaoqiu and others.
"The Legend of Ah Fu" starring Yi Lei in the first half of the year achieved a box office of over one million Hong Kong dollars, and thus became a hit and became a guarantee of top spots.
This movie "Laughing Couple" is what Lei Ming Pictures liked to ask him to film his box office appeal, and also invited the team of "Happy Tonight" to perform together, hoping to copy the box office miracle of "Seventy-Two Tenants" and "The Legend of Afu".
However, Ye Jin knew that comedy works need to be carefully polished.
The king of comedy Xu Rongwen only released a work a year, and even a few years later; Zhou Xingchi only released a work a few years after "The King of Comedy". Even if he is a genius, he cannot produce a few comedy masterpieces a year.
It took less than two months from the launch of the project to the filming of "The Laughter and Tear" to be filmed. Ye Jin didn't believe that they could produce any fine products. Moreover, Yi Lei's previous work "The Young Master in the Sky" was only painted last month, with a total box office of only HK$310,000, which fully proves that his box office appeal is not high, so Ye Jin is not worried that this movie will affect the box office of "Lin Shirong".
