Chapter 178 Ning Hao was targeted
Golden Harvest has a total of six theaters in Hong Kong with 24 screens,
They are Ocean Cinema, Golden Harvest Gateway, Golden Harvest Tsing Yi, and Golden Harvest New World , Jiahe Huangpu and thesky, these are the six companies that Ning Hao and his party participated in this road show.
Marine Theater is located at 3 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, and is also the first venue for their road show.
The movie in the theater was coming to an end. As the lights came on, the main creators came on stage and immediately caused bursts of screams.
"Juno, it's Juno~"
Someone in the crowd shouted excitedly.
Zeng Li already had many fans in "Dark Invasion". In "Dark 2", she was directly upgraded to the protagonist, and her popularity increased even more.
Especially in Hong Kong, the trend of independent women is very strong. This kind of movie with a heroine and the image of Juno in it are invisibly consistent with their thoughts.
Many people admire the "Dark Invasion" series.
The group interacted with the audience and then took questions from the media.
Who would have known that the reporter who asked the first question asked an embarrassing question:
"May I ask Director Ning Hao, I heard that "Black 2" just won the Portuguese Fantasy Film Festival yesterday "Best Film Award~"
Ning Hao smiled and nodded, thinking that the other party meant well.
The other party continued: "As far as I know, "Black 2" is the second Chinese film to win this award. The previous one was "A Chinese Ghost Story" in 1989."
Ning Hao was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know that "A Chinese Ghost Story" had also won the best film at the Fantasy Film Festival.
I heard a reporter ask: "Which film do you think is better, "Dark Invasion 2" or "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"
After the reporter asked, the smile on Ning Hao's face was already there Gone.
Not only him, but all the main creators knew that this was someone causing trouble.
Ning Hao organized his language and answered: "Everyone has his own merits. "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also a very good movie, and director Tsui Hark is my predecessor..."
Ning Hao wanted to do Tai Chi, but the other party was obviously not ready to let him go so easily and interrupted directly: "Many people say that "Dark Invasion 2" is not as good as "A Chinese Ghost Story". What do you think of this?"< br>
Ning Hao's face turned completely dark. What was the difference between this and pointing at his nose and scolding.
Jiahe’s staff also felt something was wrong and forcibly ended the road show.
"Sorry, our travel time is limited, so the interactive session will end here. I hope everyone will continue to support "Dark Invasion 2", thank you~"
Don't wait until I finish. The person responded and pulled everyone away.
Everyone took a bus to the next theater. In the car, he was still comforting everyone: "The media in Hong Kong are like this. They like to do some sensational things, so just don't take it to heart."
Although Ning Hao I’ve heard about it for a long time, but seeing the sharpness of Hong Kong reporters for the first time, I’m still a little unaccustomed to it.
Others are pretty much the same.
We are all newcomers, no one is much better than anyone else.
The second one is Jiahe Harbor Cinema.
Also after the movie was screened, a group of main creators came on stage.
It was also fun at the beginning. When it came to the interactive session, the first question asked by the media was normal.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the second reporter who asked questions was not very friendly.
"As far as I know, Director Ning Hao was able to direct "Dark Invasion 2" because you are a classmate and fellow countryman of Director Zhang Chen. Is this the case?"
This is Chi Guoguo said that Ning Hao was a relative.
Everyone looked unhappy, but the reporter who asked the question looked like he was watching a good show.
Ning Hao's face looked ugly. No matter how dull he was at this time, he knew that someone was deliberately targeting him.
“But after the question was raised, it was no longer one person’s business. The audience also wanted to know.”
Ning Hao thought for a while and decided to answer: “Zhang Chen and I are classmates. , is also a fellow countryman, but directing "Dark Invasion 2" is not just because of these relationships."
Ning Hao himself knew that what he said had no confidence. He knew very well that Zhang Chen asked him to direct it. They are good buddies.
If Cao Bingkun studied directing, he might also be the director of this film.
"Can Director Ning tell me, apart from the personal relationship between you two, what other reasons does Director Ning have for them to choose you as the director of this film?"
The reporter's questions were heart-wrenching and left no room for discussion.
Jiahe’s staff had long wanted to come up and end it all, but just now Ning Hao spoke too quickly and didn’t stop him.
“Okay, the interactive session is over.”
The staff led everyone out of the theater in a hurry and got into the car again.
The atmosphere in the car was very bad. There were two road shows and two questions. Everyone felt a strong sense of malice.
The staff did not speak to them, but spoke on the phone in Cantonese, probably reporting the situation here to their superiors.
The next third and fourth companies, Jiahe has obviously canceled the interactive session, but they will still be criticized.
The staff member accompanying them looked livid.
The next day, everything that happened yesterday appeared in the major newspapers.
Ma Chucheng passed by a newsstand, took out his money and bought a few copies, and then returned to his home to read slowly.
The more I look at it, the bigger the smile on my face becomes.
Of course he arranged these yesterday.
He is not familiar with the mainland and has little influence.
Compared with the mainland, it is undoubtedly easier to ruin "Dark Invasion 2" in Hong Kong.
Although "Hancheng Strategy" has been released in Hong Kong a long time ago, it doesn't matter, Hong Kong is the bridgehead of Asia and has a leading role as an example.
The news here will reach the mainland within a day at most.
The credibility of the news will be higher when it is transmitted from Hong Kong.
When the reputation of "Black 2" is bad, what will happen even if it wins an award?
Ma Chucheng made his own wishful thinking.
The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.
He has watched "Dark Invasion 2". The quality of the movie is not good, so let's blame it on the director and the actors.
This has long been a bad idea in Hong Kong.
In the entertainment industry, there are too many ways to hack a movie.
Ma Chucheng smiled.
He also compared him, Gu Changwei and Ning Haofang, saying that the three major photographers were fighting~
It’s ridiculous!
Gu Changwei is not bad, at least he is an award-winning photographer. Ma Chucheng does not feel insulted when compared to him. But Ning Hao, why should he?
Just a photography student who has made a student film dares to compare with the two of them, which is simply ridiculous.
Ning Hao didn't know this. He had already returned to China at this time.
The news has not yet spread back to China.
Zhang Chen is discussing countermeasures with Dong Jianqiang, but it's not this, but "Black 2" has been being ignored by "Peacock" recently.
["Dark Invasion 2", the desert of literature]
[The sequel directed by a new director, the character setting is very substandard]
[I don’t know what the whole movie is about, there is no story, except plasma is plasma~]
[Again A series has come to an end~】
There are many articles that have been criticized on the Internet, criticizing those that are not artistic, criticizing those that are not as good as the previous ones, criticizing the director’s unfamiliarity, criticizing those for the sake of criticism...
In short, there is a one-sided negative view of "Black 2", and many people not only dislike "Black 2", but also praise "Peacock" in passing, which makes people doubt that these are all done by the publisher of "Peacock" .
[The best literary film in China, no one~]
[I think Silver Bear is underestimated and should be given to Golden Bear~]
[Compared with "Dark Invasion 2", This is called a movie~]
[Faced with monopoly film schedules, the best domestic literary and artistic films may be stranded~]
[How would you choose between movies with depth and movies without depth~]
The purpose of pulling and trampling is obvious, someone must have done it deliberately.
Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang looked at each other, and Dong Jianqiang waved his hand in a very gentlemanly manner: "You speak first~"
Zhang Chen was also polite: "I don't think it is necessarily Bona, although all the remarks Everyone is dissing "Black 2" and praising "Peacock", but I think it's too obvious."
Dong Jianqiang nodded: "I feel the same way, and I checked with someone and found that there are no hackers. Not all are domestic, some are from overseas.”
At present, domestic trolls have just emerged. Zhang Chen has always attached great importance to this aspect, and even set up an Internet team in his company, which is actually a troll. .
In this regard, everyone is familiar with the domestic teams, big and small, and you will know who is causing trouble after just asking.
But after asking around, only a few small teams had taken similar orders.
But according to the size of those teams, it is absolutely impossible to reach the current level of slander.
This is interesting.
It is impossible for Bona to hire two domestic and foreign teams at the same time for a movie.
There is only one possibility, and there is another force involved.
What the hell, just release a movie and play Infernal Affairs?
Are you tired?
According to the reasoning that whoever benefits in the end will be more suspicious, the answer is ready to come out.
You old boy, Ma Chucheng, do you think grandpa and I are blind?
It would be rude to come and go without reciprocating~
The two hit it off immediately.
Since Ma Chucheng gave such a big gift, they must prepare a gift in return.
"Wait a minute..."
Zhang Chen suddenly had a new idea.
"Why do we need to know? Let's just pretend we don't know~"
"You mean...pretend not to know and make a wave of "Peacock" first?" Dong Jianqiang's eyes gleamed.
Zhang Chen nodded: "We pretended to be fooled and had a fight with "Peacock" first.
With such drama, the audience has something to eat, and they are very interested in "Black 2" "The box office of "Peacock" will definitely help. No matter whether it makes money or loses, we will definitely not be willing to be messed with by Ma Chucheng. When the time comes, we will cooperate with each other.
After learning the truth, Bona will definitely try his best to get "Hancheng Strategy"..."
"I think it's okay. "Dong Jianqiang likes this kind of sexy operation the most. It's more TV than TV.
"Okay, then I'll inform Zhang Xiaobei in the afternoon. Forget it, I'll just post a blog. ”
It is fast to find Zhang Xiaobei from the Beijing News, but the Weibo era is coming soon, and Zhang Chen still has to try his best to become famous.
The relationship with Lu Chuan and his son a while ago In the scolding war, blogs play a very important role
The next day, a new blog came out.
The title is:
"If literary and artistic films have to compete with commercial films at the box office, they are playing hooligans"
"Film critics have always despised commercial films and praised literary and artistic films. This has It's not a question of whether it's right or not, but a habit.
I can understand it, because I also studied European art films in school. There is nothing wrong with art films, but why do you have to compare them with commercial films? Box Office.
Art films are literary and avant-garde, and are destined to be niche.
Some people say that niche things are also meaningful.
It does make sense.
That’s why there are commercial movies. Commercial movies correspond to the masses, not the niche.
You have discussed literature and art and won awards in the field of literature and art. This has already won commercial films.
Why should we compete with commercial movies in box office?
You want literature and art, and you want to make money. Why don’t you think about it?
Do we still expect that everyone in the public is an artist and can tell by whether he steps his left foot first or his right foot first when entering the door?
We say that we have a monopoly on arranging films and require theaters to support artistic films. I actually mentioned this issue in the last scolding, but some people still didn’t understand.
The theater chain wants to make money.
If you want box office, shoot something vulgar, because vulgar people are the majority in this world, and they will pay for things they recognize.
You don’t want to be elegant and artistic~
After the art is over, you say that the common people don’t understand your art.
Nonsense, why do people need to understand.
You are just enjoying yourself and entertaining yourself.
It’s the boss who spends the money.
If you want to make money from the uncle, you must understand his preferences.
You can't make money from the uncle and scold him at the same time. This is like being a gangster. ”
