At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 320 Shopping (44)

The Hong Kong release of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" was initially released by Tang Ren himself, and later Shen Xudong helped the Emperor...

Only then did 48 theaters release it simultaneously.

By the way, the movie theater market in Hong Kong is gradually sluggish. In 1989, the total number of movie theaters in Hong Kong was 121, and then began to decrease every year;
In 97, Hong Kong movie theaters fell below 100 for the first time, only 89;
Since 2004, the number of Hong Kong movie theaters has basically remained at around 50.

Counting on the screen, there are 221 in total!
The number of seats is less than one-third of the peak...

In other words, the promotion of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" has been set long ago!
In fact, a group of people gather together to answer questions from the media and reporters.

After getting off the plane and getting into the car, Weng Hong seemed to think of something, and reminded Shen Xudong: "Reporters in the Mainland love to ask about art, and Hong Kong reporters care about their private life. Be careful!"

Shen Xudong didn't take it seriously: "...what can I ask about my private life, Lao Hu just made his debut, and has Mao's private life..."

"What about you?"

"I'm a screenwriter, who cares about my private life?"

……

After thinking too much, I got out of the car and was blocked by reporters, asking about the unspoken rules...

"I heard that unspoken rules are very popular in the mainland entertainment industry. Many actresses have to make great sacrifices in order to get ahead. Is it true?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I don't know, I only know that we don't have a gangster society. Actresses act more because of love, not because they want to marry into a rich family or become a rich man's mistress!"

"...But the Internet broke the news..."

"If you believe the rumors on the Internet, why bother to ask me?"

There is always a feeling that I am very noble in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, even with the media...

Is this horse riding a problem?
There are unspoken rules in the entertainment industry in the mainland, so don't Hong Kong entertainment circles have them?
The world is as black as crows...

Then Wu Junru said in the program, "Inland actresses are willing to do anything in order to get on top"...

"The "Village Fox Wife" is a big hit in Hong Kong, will the publisher, Emperor, give a bonus?"

"...It's hard to say, but "Keep Calling" sold the adaptation rights, and Boss Yang gave me 100 million red envelopes as a reward. I think he will be very generous this time!"

"Oh? One million Hong Kong dollars?"

"Um…"

If you ask questions normally, Shen Xudong will definitely answer normally...

Then you make it clear that if you ask some disgusting questions, Shen Xudong will definitely fight back!

It's a mutual respect thing.

"The box office of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" is approaching 2700 million Hong Kong dollars, you should at least ask him for a 500 million red envelope this time!"

"That's impossible... 200 million!"

……

Old Hu is more embarrassing...

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" does not seem to be broadcast in Hong Kong. For most Hong Kong media, Brother Hu is just a young actor with a long face!

However, Tang Ren also sold "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to TVB TV station with the help of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village". Is a paid channel…

TVB has two free TV stations and three premium channels in Hong Kong, among which Jade Channel is TVB in our usual sense, and it is the Chinese TV station with the highest ratings in Hong Kong.

In other words, the Hong Kong promotion of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" mainly relies on Xu Jinjiang, Weng Hong and Tse Kwan-ho...

After all, they are their own people!

Including Shen Xudong and Hu Ge, in fact, few media asked questions!

After more than an hour of tossing, the press conference was over.

Shen Xudong is ready to answer some debates about commercial films and literary films...

Think too much, people don't care at all, don't mention it at all...

Yes, the Hong Kong film market is very mature.

In fact, there were commercial and literary controversies in the early days - to be Wang Jing or to be Wang Jiawei!

But it didn't last long...

Because Hollywood has beaten Hong Kong movies to the ground, it is more important for everyone to survive first, let's talk about the rest!
At the end of the press conference, Lao Hu couldn't help complaining: "Is it necessary for us to rush here to promote?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable when no one asks you questions?"

Brother Hu is very frank: "A little bit... I thought I was very popular in the mainland, and the same in Hong Kong..."

"The Hong Kong media rarely pay attention to the mainland entertainment industry..." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "However, if you make a few more movies, your popularity in Hong Kong will soon rise!"

"Really?" "Of course!"

If I remember correctly, Brother Hu was very famous in Hong Kong later, and the wax figure was also settled in Madame Tussauds Hong Kong...

Shen Xudong added: "Come to Hong Kong to do promotion... It's also an expression of respect for the audience, after all, everyone bought tickets..."

Lao Hu nodded and said nothing more, Shen Xudong turned his head and asked Cai Yinong, who was in charge of leading the team: "Is there any schedule later?"

Cai Yinong was curious: "What? Do you have arrangements?"

"I...I'm going to see Director Chen Musheng..."

"Boss Yang agreed to hold a celebration banquet!"

"He said tomorrow!"

Cai Yinong looked at Brother Hu, and his heart moved: "You go to see director Chen Musheng...then bring Lao Hu with you?"

"Why should I take him..." Shen Xudong subconsciously refused, but seeing Lao Hu's expectant face, he nodded, "Okay...but I can't guarantee that Director Chen will use him!"

"It's okay, just treat it as an increase in knowledge!"

They got into a taxi.

When Shen Xudong mentioned the destination, Brother Hu was puzzled: "Didn't you make an appointment with Director Chen?"

"It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and he only has time at seven o'clock. Let's go to Chungking Mansions first!"

"okay!"

……

Chungking Mansions, Chungking Express…

Among all Wang Jiawei's works, "Chongqing Forest" is the favorite of most people, and Shen Xudong is no exception because of the extra character of A Fei.

"Chongqing Forest" is actually quite simple, and the whole story revolves around the opening line: Every day you have the opportunity to pass someone, you may know nothing about him, but maybe one day he will become your one friend or confidant...

It is said that there are three stories in the heart of Sunglasses King, and the film tells two of them, one is about broken love (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Brigitte Lin), the other interprets secret love (Faye Wong and Tony Leung), and the third becomes another movie— — "Fallen Angels."

Lao Hu got out of the car with a mentality of pilgrimage, looked at Chongqing Mansions, and suddenly turned to Shen Xudong and said, "I don't know if there is a chance to play opposite Faye Wong!"

"She herself said she can't act...she doesn't like acting either!"

"But "Chongqing Forest" is really good!"

"...You want to say that Wang Jiawei's filming was good?"

Old Hu nodded desperately: "Mmmmm..."

"Ha ha…"

"Flowers" was filmed for three years, and then it was reported that he was in the group for a supplementary filming. In the middle, Lao Hu acted in "County Party Committee Compound", and by the way, he gave birth to a baby...

Anyway, I didn't look forward to it!
