Chapter 67 "Hearing Girl" is released worldwide!
The first reason why Guan Ling chose Cheng Long was that he wanted to choose a Chinese, and the second reason was because of Cheng Long’s popularity.
For a project worth US$200 million, Guan Ling cannot forcefully support a newcomer.
But in fact, Cheng Long needs him more than Guan Ling.
In other words, even if Guan Ling uses the original configuration of the movie in his previous life, it is very reasonable. Hollywood actors will not reject such a movie.
But Chinese-language movies need Cheng Long, and Hollywood also needs a Chinese actor - Cheng Long.
At this time, the filming of "Rush Hour 3" has not yet begun, and Cheng Long's third spring in Hollywood has not yet arrived. The disastrous box office failure of the last movie forced Cheng Long to fade out of Hollywood and return to Hong Kong. lock up.
"Around the World in Eighty Days" invested US$100 million, but only received US$70 million in global box office. Including profit sharing from theaters and other theaters, the film's disastrous failure gave Disney a headache. , and fortunately it is Disney. If it were any other company, it would definitely be in tears.
Since then, the reputation of Cheng Long's films has declined.
Hollywood, Chinese-language movies, and even movies compared to Zhou Xingxing's, the box office difference of a movie is a full 100 million yuan. Competition for Best Actor at the Academy Awards was crushed by Zhou Xingxing. Brother Cheng Long is no longer in glory.
This time competing against "Shark Beach" at the same time, "Baby Project" failed miserably. Although Cheng Long called Guan Ling, Jackie Chan Emperor Film Company failed again and it was a foregone conclusion.
In this case, Guan Ling chooses Cheng Long, which is a win-win situation.
Firstly, it is for the smooth implementation of Guan Ling's "2012" project,
Secondly, it can ease the relationship with the Hong Kong circle,
Thirdly, it is with Cheng Long By cultivating a good cooperative relationship, Guan Ling has many action films that he can collaborate with Cheng Long on, and this time "2012" can make Guan Ling sell well and let Cheng Long lower the price.
After sending Lu Chao away, he continued to promote "Hearing Girl".
"Director Guan Da, our movie will definitely be popular. When everyone watched it, many people were crying. Many students here discussed the movie on Facebook, and it was spread throughout the school. All over."
Liu Yifei called. Over in the United States, they visited more than a dozen states and did some screenings. The effect was very good, and Liu Yifei was ecstatic.
She realized that the movie she shot might be an opportunity for her to enter Hollywood, and it was also a very popular movie, which made her feel happy but also more and more nervous.
Guest's phone calls also came several times. He had already gotten wind of the news that the "2012" project was suspected to be finalized. He cared more about this than the recent popularity of "Hearing Girl".
"Guan, you are incredible."
He didn't expect that Guan Ling could really succeed in the negotiation.
Guan Ling knows that the final step is still needed to make things happen. Fox has not transferred the money yet. Everything depends on the effect of "Hearing Girl". If the effect is good, Fox will invest in China Film. He participated in the fight to save face, but when the effect was not good, Fox turned around and ran away.
Hollywood is all about capital and only values money.
In the beginning of the domestic publicity, Guan Ling ran by himself, and then he took advantage of Liu Yan’s popularity and asked Liu Yan to follow suit. Although Liu Yan did not act in the middle, many people were looking forward to Liu Yan’s performance. Various programs, so on many channels, everyone knows about this movie.
In particular, "Ink Attack" has also been promoted recently. Andy Lau and Fan Bingbing have also begun frequent publicity work, as well as Wu Qilong, who played a sharpshooter in this movie.
Wang Zhiwen plays the role of the King of Liang. Although he followed the publicity, when people asked him what he thought of "Mo Gong" and "Hearing Girl", Wang Zhiwen was very smart and did not say anything offensive at all.
Guan Ling told him that "Suspect" was going to participate in this year's Golden Horse and invited him to go with him.
When I asked Andy about it, Andy laughed and didn't respond. All actors know what's going on and don't want to get involved in the company's fight, especially Hong Kong actors.
In early November, Liu Yifei returned to China and began to promote hearing girls in China.
It once caused the ardent fans of "Little Dragon Girl" to chase and block her.
Domestic fans of Liu Yifei have been looking forward to Liu Yifei for too long. News of her retirement began to spread last year, but the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this year made fans feel that she is still with them.
But another year has passed, and apart from "Hearing Girl", there is no news about Liu Yifei joining the cast. The release of "Hearing Girl" can be said to have relieved everyone's longing for Liu Yifei.
So fans are ready to buy tickets like crazy and are waiting for the cinema to open the phone ticket purchase channel.
Someone on the internet even came up with a name for the rivalry between the two movies.
The confrontation between Miao Guoer and her aunt.
Andy Lau has played Yang Guo, and Liu Yifei has played the role of Little Dragon Girl. This is the battle between the two generations of Condor Heroes starring in the movie.
"It is reported that the film "Ink Attack" is the director's ten years of hard work. It is adapted from the RB comic of the same name. This is the best historical war film in Chinese history!"
"Fan Bing The film was filmed in the water for six days, and the sincerity of the film can be seen in the theater."
"The Mohists are unparalleled in the art of mechanism. When a hundred thousand troops besieged a city with only 4,000 defenders, the Mohists were unstoppable. What will you do to resist this attacking army? In "Mo Attack", you will get the answer."
There is more and more publicity for "Ink Attack".
“In Mainland China’s first Hollywood-produced commercial film, “Hearing Girl,” Director Guan wants to bring you not only healing, but also touching and yearning.” Have your parents ever fought? Do you hate them? Don't worry, these are normal emotions, and every family needs to be reconciled, so that they can be surrounded by love."
"Little Dragon Girl has become a little deaf girl! No, Xiao Longnu has become a non-deaf girl in a deaf family. Let's follow Little Dragon Girl and pursue our dreams bravely!"
"Look Have you ever read Forrest Gump? There is Forrest Gump’s complete innocence, unswerving persistence, and the bloom of liberalism, while the hearing girl is about dreams and family, mud and distance.”
"Hearing Girl" has more publicity, saying that Guan Ling has once again opened up a new genre of cinema after Shark Beach. This is a movie comparable to Forrest Gump, which makes Guan Ling very embarrassed.
In this way, the time quickly came to November 22nd.
BJ Film Studio, "Hearing Girl" held a premiere celebration.
