The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 510 "Martial Arts" and "1937"

""1937" is scheduled to be released on July [-]st, and the film market will be in turmoil again in July."

"'1937' was airborne on July [-]st, and 'The God of Wealth Inn', 'Snowflakes and Secret Fan', and 'Martial Arts' were greatly affected."

"Chan Kexin welcomes him and looks forward to making progress together with Lee Sheung Yew."

""Martial Arts" will participate in the Cannes Film Festival together with "1937", and the two films will be released in early July."

""Martial Arts" will be Peter Chan's ambitious work, representing the new action movie direction in his mind."

"Donnie Yen: "Martial Arts" is very beautiful and will surprise everyone."

"The official website of the Cannes Film Festival welcomes Chinese-language films and looks forward to Chinese-language films shining in Cannes."

“The opening film of the Cannes Film Festival will be Midnight in Paris.”

……

"1937" has been released, causing a small wave of fluctuations in the mainland film and television industry.

"Wealth Inn" and "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" are both released on June 28.

"Martial Arts" will be released on July [-]nd.

Now that "1937" has been released on July [-]st, it has indeed had a great impact on the three movies.

In fact, there are also movies such as "The Journey", "The Deadly Abyss", "Flying Sky", "The Road to the Mountain", "The Ultimate Express" and so on in the past few days.

However, these movies are instantly hit by the audience and have no traffic whatsoever.

Everyone is still focusing more on the three movies "The God of Wealth Inn", "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" and "Martial Arts".

Especially "Martial Arts", this movie is not only scheduled to be similar to "1937", but will also participate in the Cannes Film Festival together.

From Chen Kexin's interview, it can be seen that he is very confident in "Martial Arts".

At noon that day, Li Shengyao was planning to have something to eat with Chen Hao at home. He received a call from Chen Kexin and took Chen Hao to the Shangri-La Hotel to meet Chen Kexin and Tang Wei.

Chen Kexin is not tall, wears a pair of glasses, smiles, and looks like a very talkative person.

Tang Wei has long hair shawl and is wearing a dress. She actually looks very similar to Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Jingchu.

The eyes of these three people all looked energetic, with the attitude of "I want to be red, I want to be hot" in their eyes.

However, Zhang Jingchu's overall temperament is slightly weaker, and she seems to have a little inferiority complex.

And Zhang Ziyi is more arrogant. When facing the actress, her eyes are very floating.

Tang Wei's eyes are much firmer, and her eyes are more confident. This posture makes the audience more comfortable to watch.

For a while, Tangwei's marketing was pretty good, and they launched a promotional slogan in the Mainland: "Four days, double ice, and one soup bag."

Just like the "Xiayu Fanghong" in Hong Kong, this so-called "Four Dans, Double Bings and One Soup Bun" includes four dandies, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Zhao Yanzi, and Xu Jinglei, as well as two Bingbing and Tang Wei and Liu Yifei.

In fact, as far as the performance of mainland movies is concerned, several of them are gangsters, and Tang Wei obviously cannot keep up with others.

This marketing slogan disappeared not long after, just because it was not interesting, and this group of people can be said to have no box office appeal.

However, although Tang Wei is not very good in the mainland, she is really a goddess in the peninsula.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, Tang Wei's "Determination to Break Up" directly won all the best actress awards in the peninsula.

From Bong Joon-ho and Park Chan-wook to Gong Yoo and Yoo Ah-in, as well as ordinary netizens on the peninsula, they all like her very much.

Li Shengyao observed Tang Wei at this time and did not find her very attractive, but he could see that Tang Wei was generous, magnanimous and approachable.The four people then sat down, and Chen Kexin personally poured tea for Li Shengyao.

"Director Li, let me toast you. Let's get acquainted again and have more contact in the future."

"Okay, keep in touch."

In the past, Chan Ke Yan used a third party to seek cooperation with Lee Sheng Yew, but Lee Sheng Yew refused at that time.

Chen Kexin wears glasses and smiles, looking very sincere.

Li Shengyao saw it in his eyes and didn't take it to heart, but he said polite words.

"Director Li, "1937" will be released on July [-]st, and "Martial Arts" will be released on July [-]nd. At that time, our two families will promote the movie together. Maybe some media will talk nonsense. Don't mind. We There are absolutely no bad ideas, we all want to contribute to Chinese-language films."

Lee Seung-yew is not only a director, but also a theater chain owner and a big capitalist in listed companies.

Chen Kexin knew that she couldn't afford to offend him, so she took the initiative to express her attitude.

Li Shengyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't care about those provocative words."

Chen Kexin smiled even more when she heard this, "I hope to make progress together with "1937" in Cannes and speak out for Chinese films."

"Martial Arts" and "1937" are the only two participating films this year. Compared with previous years, the number of participating films this year is much smaller.

Everyone should indeed unite.

Li Shengyao and Chen Kexin clinked glasses, smiled and nodded.

The four of them then ate and chatted. Chen Hao and Tang Wei had known each other for a long time, so it would not be awkward.

Chen Kexin is also an outgoing person. He kept introducing "Martial Arts" to Li Shengyao. He has great expectations for this movie.

"I believe that we will have good results whether it is the movie box office or the Cannes awards."

"Martial Arts" has Donnie Yen, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Tang Wei. Although the latter two don't have much movie appeal, Donnie Yen is still very powerful.

In recent years, he has been at his most popular. He has made many movies, and seven or eight movies in a row have exceeded [-] million yuan.

This achievement is unique among male actors.

Ge You was so great in the Lunar New Year last year, with "Let the Bullets Fly", "If You Are the One 2", and "The Orphan of Zhao" totaling nearly 13 billion in box office.

But Ge You left the great director, and "Breathless" only had more than 3000 million.

And in recent years, Donnie Yen has been able to make over [-] million regardless of the subject matter.

It can be said that Chen Kexin is optimistic about the box office of this movie.

In terms of film awards, Chen Kexin still has great expectations because he feels that he has created a new type of action movie, which is suspenseful martial arts.

"Martial Arts" is not a traditional fighting movie, it also has detectives solving crimes.

Lee Sheng Yew knew the selling point of "Martial Arts" in his previous life. When he listened to Chen Kexin chatting, he smiled and nodded. He did not argue with him, let alone brag about "1937".

Chen Kexin talked a lot, and finally came to his senses. It was him who was talking all the time, and Director Li didn't say much.

"Director Li, I heard that "1937" is a one-shot movie, so it will definitely win the grand prize."

Just now, Chen Kexin was confident that "Martial Arts" would win the award. Now when he talks about "1937" like this, it is obviously just a joke.

Li Shengyao shook his head and replied while eating his food: "It's hard to say, it still depends on the opinion of the jury."
