The premiere of "The Tomb Raiders' Chronicles" is scheduled to be on Sunday evening on the 14th of the twelfth lunar month.
At this time, the movies for the New Year are still being screened. Nine days will be the Spring Festival holiday for Hong Kong people. These nine days are also the last and most critical wave of publicity before the release of the movie.
The address of the premiere was naturally chosen at Taiping Cinema, and there were also pre-screenings in five theaters including Queen's Cinema. The premiere and pre-screening movie tickets required audiences to spend a lot of effort to buy them.
The special effects blockbuster that cost 130 million Hong Kong dollars was still very interested in the audience and wanted to see where the money was spent.
Kang Jianfei said at the beginning that the cost of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was over 100 million yuan and had no cap. In the end, it cost more than 70 million yuan, which mainly consumed special effects.
Fortunately, the production of "Terminator 2" has accumulated experience in the development of computer special effects. "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" does not need to be explored slowly in the special effects processing, so it only took one year to shoot it, otherwise the production cycle would be longer and cost more.
Why does James Cameron often produce overdue production? How many years can it take to make a movie? It has delayed the production cost by exponentially?
Because he has been innovating, he personally led a team to develop new cameras in order to make a movie, and later he became even more crazy. In order to make the movie screening better, he went to promote new big screens without doing his job.
Kang Jianfei felt very moved when he thought about it. Why can’t such an outlier among Chinese directors appear, but they are only satisfied with small box office?
The premiere officially begins at 7:20 pm, with 40 minutes of live interaction and the premiere of the movie begins at 8:00.The pre-screening of the other five theaters also began simultaneously at 8 o'clock.
Before 7 o'clock, many audiences had already arrived at Taiping Cinema, and even scalpers were selling high-priced premiere tickets on the roadside.
The reporters also arrived early and stood outside the cinema to interview the premiere of celebrity guest Kang Jianfei. Almost all the big stars of Oriental Entertainment Agency, except those who can't go through filming, have to support them.
The second- and third-tier stars who are not well-known are not qualified because the number of guests invited to the premiere is limited.
The premiere of Kang Jianfei's movie last year and the previous one, and the premiere of "The Grave Robbers" this year has not yet begun, so it is enough to make people look at it.
A red carpet was even laid outside the Taiping Cinema, with popular movies and TV stars present one after another, and the reporters' camera shutters flashed constantly. This grand scene gave people the illusion of attending a large ceremony.
What a grand premiere, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, right?Yuan Biao walked beside Sammo Hung and asked.
Sammo Hung smiled and waved to the camera of the reporter, whispering: The premiere venue is Kang Jianfei, the reporter came to promote it for free, and the celebrity guests and film critics also came to support it for free, and even the host of the awards ceremony was from Feng Huáng.Taiping Cinema has more than 2,000 seats, and more than 1,000 seats in the back are sold to movie fans at high prices.If we were to do this premiere, it would definitely cost a lot. Not only would they not spend money, they would make a fortune.
Yuan Biao laughed self-deprecatingly: No wonder others can make money, I can only make some hard money by filming and filming.
The two were chatting and laughing and preparing to walk into the theater. Suddenly, they heard a noise behind them. Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao couldn't help but look back.
Why is Brother Long coming?Yuan Biao said in surprise.
Sammo Hung was also stunned for a moment, then smiled relievedly: He is in a state of mind, it should be Mr. Zou for a headache.
The person who came was Jackie Chan, who was surrounded by reporters at this time, just because his appearance was too surprising.
Jackie Chan and Kang Jianfei had worked together before, but they have been in a competitive relationship since then, and meeting was just a courteous greeting.
Today Jackie Chan came to the premiere of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" to support him. Could it be that he is leaving Jiahe and turning to DreamWorks?
He had a lot of imagination in his job as a reporter. When he saw Jackie Chan appear, he immediately thought of him a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
In fact, Jackie Chan's appearance is very simple. He just wants to express his kindness to Kang Jianfei. If the relationship is eased, maybe he will be able to work together to film.
The person who prompted Jackie Chan to do this was Sammo Hung. Four theaters in the New Year showcased four movies starring Sammo Hung at the same time, which really stimulated Jackie Chan.
Although Jackie Chan's "Miracle" just sold for more than 30 million yuan in box office, Sammo Hung runs two film companies at the same time. Last year, he produced, starred and directed a total of seven dramas, making far more money than Jackie Chan.
Will Jackie Chan, who is more famous, be mentally balanced when he sees Sammo Hung making a big profit?Now Jackie Chan has begun to contact Taiwan’s Judeng Company and promised to star in a commercial film produced by Yang Dengkui.
Although Jackie Chan is still shooting films for Jiahe, he privately accepts a film contract from Taiwan Judeng Company, and its nature is no different from the cooperation between Sammo Hung and Xinbao Cinemas.
Because Jiahe’s Taiwanese partner is Longxi Film, and Yang Dengkui has started to cooperate with other theaters, Judeng and Longxi are in a competitive relationship in Taiwan.
In other words, Jackie Chan chose to cooperate with competitors of Jiahe's partners.Once this news is announced, it will make Zou Wenhuai very embarrassed and it is difficult to explain to his partner Longxiang Pictures.
Jackie Chan is not a naughty man, he obviously knows this.This time I came to attend the premiere of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" not only to express my kindness to Kang Jianfei, but also to highlight my muscles to Zou Wenhuai.
If Zou Wenhuai was smart, he would definitely compromise with Jackie Chan and no longer prohibited his cooperation with other companies.
If other actors do such a thing, they will definitely be banned by a large company like Jiahe, but Jackie Chan is full of wings and cannot be banned at all.
You see, after Sammo Hung and Xinbao cooperated, Jiahe still did not keep his past grudges and continued to choose to cooperate with Sammo Hung?
It is precisely because Sammo Hung’s example is the example that Jackie Chan takes this step.Jackie Chan’s thoughts are actually just a matter of silence: Why does he earn more than me?
In fact, these were all the consequences that Zou Wenhuai had planted himself back then. He promoted the independent director system in Hong Kong, broke the inherent blockbuster model, and made Zhuo Yue's contribution to the development of Hong Kong films. At the same time, Jiahe became one of the best film companies in Hong Kong.
But Xiao He succeeded and failed. Most of the independent directors and companies developed by Zou Wenhuai have now left him and turned into Jiahe's competitors.
The reason is nothing special. Jiahe and independent directors are cooperation in interests.
Perhaps there was love and friendship in it at first, but when one day the righteousness of the people was over and Jiahe could not satisfy the appetite of these independent directors, they naturally had to choose to leave.
Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan ate the most in Jiahe, but their appetites are getting bigger and bigger, and Jiahe is gradually unable to satisfy them.
Kang Jianfei has no these hidden dangers. If the original DreamWorks were still a large studio system, then the company's departments would split up and form distribution and brokerage companies, and the establishment and growth of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group would have been successfully transformed into a diversified entertainment group with fine division of labor.
Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group focuses on talent echelon training, scientific management and operation and mutually beneficial cooperation among various companies. It never puts treasures on a certain star, nor does it limit the freedom of its artists too much.
Anyway, there will be no situation where the company will collapse halfway as soon as the pillar leaves, which is the essential difference from Jiahe Pictures.
After talking, Jackie Chan was casually looking for a seat to sit down in the many surprised eyes, and happened to sit next to Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao in a row.
Aaron is here too?Sammo Hung pretended to be like he had just discovered Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan nodded with a smile: It's Ah, Mr. Kang sends me invitations every time he premieres. I'm really sorry if I don't come.
I am also very kind.Sammo Hung smiled.
Yuan Biao sat next to him, listening to the conversation between the two senior brothers, and feeling very awkward.
Sammo Hung has helped him, and Jackie Chan has also helped him. Now there is a clear gap between the two, but Yuan Biao doesn't know how to help them resolve it.
There were more and more guests and audiences entering the venue. Celebrities such as Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Cherie Chung, and Michelle Reis have all come. Many others who have not come are filming because the Spring Festival holiday is about to begin, and many crews are busy rushing to get the show and finish work early.
As for Jet Li, Joey Wong, Kwan and others, they went home early to reunite and wait for the Spring Festival, and their families were not in Hong Kong.
There were hundreds of media reporters and film critics, occupying a large number of seats. Some photographers squatted in the aisle to take photos, and their cameras were closed after the movie began to be screened.
As time passed, the lights suddenly dimmed in Taiping Theater and the premiere finally officially began.
The two hosts are Chen Baixiang and Mao Shunjun. After a start, the main creators of the movie were invited to the stage.
Zhang Min sat down close to Kang Jianfei, while Kang Jianfei deliberately moved away to keep a distance.
There are many old friends sitting in the celebrity guests seat below, including Cherie Chung, Kareem Reis, Jane Rhyan, Chiu-jin, Lee Sai-feng, Wen Bixia, and Lee Lizhen...
There are eight or nine of them who may turn into jealousy at any time. He dare not be too intimate with Zhang Min on stage.
Kang Jianfei sat there leisurely and didn't say much. With his status and status, he naturally had to be more restrained and could not use all his skills to attract audiences and create topics like before.
Basically, Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Min and Zeng Jiang talked about it again, and talked about a lot of interesting stories in the shooting, while Kang Jianfei occasionally interjected sentences to enhance the atmosphere.
The interactive session lasted for 40 minutes and finally entered the whole of tonight. The host and the creative team took off and prepared to screen "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".
More than 20 staff members inspected the venue, reminding reporters to put away their cameras and prohibit taking pictures, and even stared at the audience to search carefully to prevent people from using small cameras to shoot movies.
Pirates are so rampant today, especially with the popularity of home video recorders, the video tape rental business has become prosperous, and more than half of the video tapes on the market are pirated goods.
Hong Kong films have a tradition of midnight trials. Many movies are now screened at midnight, and then re-cut according to the audience's reactions. There is about a week's time difference from midnight trials to official releases.
After the video tape industry developed, many people went to midnight venues to film secretly, which made the movies not officially released in theaters, and pirated video tapes on roadside stalls were launched in advance.
At this time, the movies for the New Year are still being screened. Nine days will be the Spring Festival holiday for Hong Kong people. These nine days are also the last and most critical wave of publicity before the release of the movie.
