Chapter 396:0395
"It's a lot of pressure to shoot Jiang Dong's scene." Hu Jingtian can't help but get nervous when he sees the serious Jiang Ge.

"It's normal to be under pressure. Director Jiang has very high requirements for details, even if it's a line, a look, or a movement. When Pei Jie was acting in "Swordsman: Invincible in the East", there were more than a dozen NGs in one scene. "The life assistant wanted him to relax, but when he said this, he added a lot of pressure.

"Huh..." Hu Jingtian kept taking deep breaths to relieve his nervousness.

"Don't be nervous, you acted very well just now, Teacher Tie Gang and the others praised you." The life assistant continued.

"Really?" Hu Jingtian subconsciously looked at Zhang Tiegang who was touching up his makeup not far away.

"Of course it's true, how dare I make up such a lie." The life assistant replied.

Getting the affirmation of others can help Hu Jingtian regain his confidence faster.

Over there, Zhang Tiegang and others were still talking about him.

"Jiang Dong's 6500 million flowers are worth it."

"Xiao Hu's basic skills are solid, even if he hasn't acted for two years, his acting skills have not been neglected."

"I don't know what the psychology of his former company is. Such a promising actor chose to give up."

"Who knows."

"I'm looking forward to playing against him."

"Me too."

……

Among the new generation of stars, there are indeed many actors whose acting skills are not up to standard, so they have been attacked a lot, and it is reasonable to be criticized for their poor performances.

In fact, "little fresh meat" originally refers to young, handsome, and strong men, but in the entertainment industry, the meaning of this word has gradually been distorted, and the positive meaning has become derogatory. An actor must learn to endure hardship. This is an actor Self-cultivation, the reason why Xiao Xianrou is becoming less and less popular is mainly caused by those young actors who are not dedicated to their work, play big names, pay sky-high salaries, act as substitutes, act in cutouts, etc., and do not take their acting career seriously.

And several old drama players all spoke highly of Hu Jingtian, obviously they had a good impression of this young junior.

Every summer is a concentrated outbreak period of Hollywood movies. Among them, there are sequels of well-known movie series and brand-new Hollywood movies.

Yesterday, various theaters received a screening notice from China Film Group, saying that there will be three Hollywood blockbusters on National Day.

The previous "Star Wars 7" has won a box office of 35 billion yuan, and it also won the box office champion of May 3st. At the same time, it once again proved that special effects blockbusters are still one of the magic weapons to attract audiences. No, "Superhuman Organization [-] "has sharpened its sword and plans to take over the National Day file.

In the face of these "big bulls" who often dominate the box office for a month, it seems that the previous method of avoiding domestic films and choosing another schedule is no longer effective. It seems that they will never be able to avoid the crushing of Hollywood blockbusters.

However, since 2021, Django has been born and made one record-breaking movie after another, making domestic movies have the power to compete with Hollywood blockbusters.

Coincidentally, "A Chinese Ghost Story" with an investment of over 2.5 million will be released on this year's National Day.

"It's been a tough fight."

"Battle? Don't think that winning a "Gears of War: Deep Space Warrior" will give you the ability to fight Hollywood blockbusters."

"Indeed, the "Transhuman Organization" series is not comparable to the "Gears of War" series. The first film has a global box office of 15 billion U.S. dollars, and the second film has a global box office of 16 billion U.S. dollars and is sixth."

"This series has a large number of fans in China, and 3D movie tickets are expensive, which has an advantage when the number of moviegoers is similar."

"That's right, the first two parts have a score of 8.2 and the other has a score of 8.3, both of which are not low. Besides, the third part is the final chapter of this series, and there will be a lot of popular superhuman heroes appearing."

"Jiang Ge's movie may not be good overseas, but it is still very good in China. The 40.3 billion of "Swordsman: Invincible in the East" has surpassed "Superhuman Organization 1", and only 2 million of "Superhuman Organization 3" .”

……

Although there are not so many fans of MWDC comics in China, their individual superhuman hero series movies over the years, starting from "Superhuman Bug", and then to "Superhuman Giant", "Superhuman Sheriff", "Superhuman Special Agents, Blue Star Guardians, Fantastic Professor, etc., each of which has gained a lot of fans, and word of mouth has gradually accumulated in this way, and then these superhuman heroes are put together to make "Superhuman" Human Organization" series, allowing many fans to see their favorite characters, which has exponentially increased the box office.

That's why there are so many people who are not optimistic that "A Chinese Ghost Story" can win "Superhuman Organization 3".

"The opponent is very strong." Chen Qian said after seeing the list of movies scheduled for National Day.

"He will force him to be strong, and the breeze blows the mountains..." Jiang Ge was very calm, and said: "Our goal is to get back the cost and make a little money."

"The box office of 2.5 million will be 7.5 million, and if you earn a little money, the box office will be 10 billion. It's not a big problem, but..." Chen Qian analyzed it and said: "With the quality of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the box office is 30 billion. For those who started out, it would not be worthwhile if they suffered losses due to being squeezed out by "Transhuman Organization 3."

These words are not unreasonable, Jiang Ge smiled lightly and said: "You can change the file."

Chen Gan said: "Then there is no uproar on the Internet, saying that we are cowardly."

Jiang Ge shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "If you make trouble, let's make trouble."

Chen Gan frowned and said, "What are you thinking?"

Django smiled and said, "How else can we think about it? Since we are not bad, no matter what, whether we win or not is one thing, but whether we fight or not is another."

When Chen Gan heard this, he stared and said, "Then do it, fuck it!"

Django has learned about this series of movies before. It is similar to "The Avengers" and "Justice League" on the earth. He is willing to spend money. The cost of one film is more than 3 million US dollars. While the special effects are full, powerful actors are used. .

But he also watched the sample of "A Chinese Ghost Story". The directors of Zhou Mulong and Cheng Xiaodong have their own merits. Zhang Fucheng and Qin Shiyue are on par with Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian's Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian. The special effects have been greatly improved and are definitely first-class. best movie.

With "Superhuman Organization 3" head-to-head, whether it is a car with a mantis' arms, or is it evenly divided, or even better, it will be known after it is released.

------

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

On September 9th, the screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in 30 cities across the country is in full swing.

To explain in layman's terms, click-screening is to choose a certain local theater to pre-screen a movie that has not yet been officially released.

Although ordinary viewers can also buy tickets, it is relatively difficult to buy, because most of them are given away in order to allow professional film critics and the media to give evaluations of the film in advance.

Two hours later, the evaluation of "A Chinese Ghost Story" screening was freshly released.

[Wei Chuan's Talking Drama]: 1 hour and 55 minutes, I gave an unforgettable face, red rouge, white gouache, long hair shawl, swaying earrings, star-like eyes, when you are still unsettled In an instant, your soul has already been taken away.

[One word becomes a proverb]: Encounters between humans and ghosts are not romantic, but more crying and tears, more confusion and sighs, more heartbreak and pain.

[Ximeng Film and Television]: No spoilers?Then I'll do it, there's no peeing in the whole process, the surprise starts from the opening song, and lasts until the end of the ending song. It's really exciting. The picture, makeup, acting skills, special effects, and soundtrack are all top-notch. To be honest, the ticket price of 39.9 is cheap up.

……

[Sina News]: Reviving old traditions does not mean indulging in nostalgia, but connecting one's life with important traditions. Looking at Jiang Ge's movies, it is almost ignoring history. What is presented is a tradition that is full of pride Combination, this "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also the same.

[Penguin News]: The prototype of the story is born out of Pu Songling's famous novel "Nie Xiaoqian" in "Liao Zhai". Many people have also filmed it, but just like Django's previous "Painted Skin", it has more of his own style. and thinking, and completely surpassed the predecessors to create a new classic.

[Today's headlines]: At first glance, the name of the movie seems to be a horror movie, but the plot is actually more of a romance movie. There are many stories about love between humans and ghosts, but this "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very classic.

……

Good guy, there are [-] if not [-] film reviews from professional film critics and the media, but there is not a single spoiler, almost all of them are talking about the depth.

"I'm dying of anxiety!"

"Did you see loneliness?"

"It's useless to say a lot."

"Let's get some dry goods!"

"Is it too bad to say good things after taking money?"

"It's annoying."

……

The audience who didn't get to go to the movie was annoyed. These people are all eating this bowl of rice. I don't know if it was because of collusion or something else. They didn't mention a word about the plot.

In fact, they were really wrong. It’s not that they didn’t say it, but they couldn’t say it. Before watching the movie, they signed a confidentiality agreement, and the film reviews related to the plot had to wait until the official release.

"Jiang Dong, the questionnaires for screenings in thirty cities across the country have been sorted out, and I have sent them to your WeChat."

Jiang Ge hung up the phone call of his secretary Hu Xiao, and then opened WeChat to check.

[12-22 years old:
Plot: 8.4 points, actors: 8.0 points, special effects: 8.8 points...

23-33 years old:
Plot: 9.0 points, actors: 9.5 points, special effects: 9.0 points...

34-44 years old:
Plot: 9.4 points, actors: 9.1 points, special effects: 9.0 points...

45-55 years old:
Plot: 8.9 points, actors: 9.0 points, special effects: 9.0 points...]

Just watching, a head poked over, accompanied by a crisp voice: "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Ge handed over the phone and said, "A Chinese Ghost Story' screening questionnaire."

Zhou Lingwei glanced at it and said, "Wow, yes, the ratings of all age groups are so high."

Jiang Ge said: "The number of viewers is too small, so it can only be used as a reference."

Zhou Lingwei smiled slightly, and said, "Just put 1 hearts in your heart, and there will be no problem."

Django checked the time, put his arms around her waist, and said, "Let's go."

At night, Dongyang.

The streets are bustling, and as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, the temperature changes in the morning and evening have also begun to increase. At this time, people have put on autumn clothes.

The largest movie theater in the city center, "Starry Sky Cinema", is covered with posters of movies that are about to be released or are currently showing. Among them, the two that occupy the largest and most pages are "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Superhuman Organization 3". Both will be shown tonight.

And their pre-sale box office has exceeded the single-film pre-sale box office record in Huaguo film history. The former ranked first with 7.85 million times, and the latter ranked second with 7.76 million times. Together, they shared 70% of this year's National Day file. .

Not only because one is a Django movie, but the other is a Hollywood blockbuster. In addition to their own popularity, the promotion of the two movies is not small, and the cost of publicity and distribution is more than 1 million.

"Look, I said don't worry, we are leading the pre-sale box office." Zhou Lingwei said, pulling on her mask.

"It depends on the word-of-mouth from tonight's official release until tomorrow. Once the film schedule is reduced, the victory or defeat is basically determined." Jiang Ge stood in front of the ticket machine and took out the four movie tickets he had reserved by scanning the QR code.

He actually booked two shows for the entire crew of "Langya Bang" to watch, but in order to see the audience's reaction, he chose to watch it in the ordinary hall as before.

At this time, Chen Gan and Chu Pianpian, who were queuing up to buy drinks and popcorn, came over, "I bought so much, can I finish it?"

Chen Gan was a little hungry. If it wasn't for the time, he would have eaten a bowl of noodles before coming back, and said, "It's a small thing."

Django took half of the drink and popcorn, looked up to the direction of the ticket gate, and said, "You can go in."

He bought a ticket for the Imax2d theater. The screen and sound are top-notch, and the viewing experience is very good. It is the first choice of many movie lovers.

Check in and find your seat.

After sitting down, Chen Gan looked around and saw people coming in one after another. Soon hundreds of seats seemed to be filled with people, and the attendance rate was quite good. He said: "The attendance rate of your movie is really unmatched. .”

Django coughed twice and said, "Keep your voice down."

He was worried that if he was recognized, it would cause crowds to watch, but this feeling was quite exciting.

After a while, the lights in the theater dimmed.

Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei took off their masks, and immediately, the screen turned green, a golden rubber ring flashed, and the familiar golden dragon logo lit up.

"It's about to start!"

The movie hall fell silent in an instant, with eyes looking at the screen, everyone cheered up.

The music played and the picture dimmed.

The camera showed a close-up of a plaque with three large characters—Lanruo Temple.

Face everything.

In the mist, the four stone statues of heavenly kings are located in the dark corner of the mountain forest, only listening to the whistling of the wind, the falling leaves are flying, the camera is slowly raised, and the steps and buildings are presented one by one.

In the room, candles were flickering, and a handsome scholar was reading by candlelight at night.

Suddenly the window was blown open by the wind, and when he looked up, he saw a graceful woman in white dancing. When he was puzzled, a light gauze floated over him, and he suddenly felt a tangy fragrance, and his heart was suddenly moved.

At this time, the scholar stood up and walked towards the woman.

The books fell to the ground, the lantern was overturned in the water basin, and only a faint moonlight remained in the room.

Wait for the camera to turn.

I saw two bodies on the bed...
