Huayu Entertainment Starts with Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu

Chapter 106 Do you even know the value of a popular couple? [Please subscribe]

Shao Jianbo has about a third of the screen time in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", but his storyline is relatively independent with the Tiger Mountain storyline.

Therefore, Jiang Yang did not film for too long.

In December, he finished filming all his scenes and officially wrapped up the production.

The completion of Shao Jianbo's filming means that the entire storyline of Team 203 has been filmed. The last scene is Han Geng's New Year's Eve dinner.

When they parted ways, Tong Liya hesitated, looking at Jiang Yang's retreating figure with a sense of emptiness in her heart, and sighed softly.

well----

Jiang Yang wasn't so sentimental.

After leaving the "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" film crew, good news awaited him:

Police Story 2013 is about to be released!

Goodness, this movie was filmed around this time last year. If it hadn't been released soon, it might have been renamed "Police Story 2014".

The movie is scheduled for release on December 24th, Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas.

This date is a bit confusing.

As is customary, movies are usually released on Thursdays or Fridays to boost box office revenue over the weekend, but this year's December...

The 24th of the month was a Tuesday.

Christmas is not a public holiday and is not an official holiday in mainland China.

The reason Police Story 2013 chose this day is because the plot of the movie takes place on Christmas Eve, and the background decorations include Christmas trees and other ornaments, which is appropriate for the occasion.

In other words, it was already decided when filming began that it would be released during this time slot.

If we had to find another reason, we could say it was to coincide with the overseas release date.

As a male actor in the Chinese entertainment industry with strong overseas box office appeal, if Jackie Chan's movies perform normally, he should have no problem earning 20 to 30 million US dollars at the overseas box office.

Christmas is an important holiday season in many countries and regions overseas.

In short, Police Story 2013 was scheduled to be officially released on the eighth day before the end of 2013, with only small-scale preview screenings and midnight screenings.

Jiang Yang first met up with Jing Tian, ​​who had been waiting for a long time.

"Sito" aired in September, and her popularity hasn't ended yet. During this time, she was radiant and full of beauty, receiving numerous offers for events and commercials.

Jing Tian gave up on "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" because she knew that "Police Story 2013" would be released at the end of the year.

Sure enough, she and Jiang Yang reunited.

Needless to say, the two were very affectionate when they met, and Jiang Yang also saw Brother Cheng Long again after a year.

The eldest brother is a workaholic who is at the age to retire but keeps filming. However, in the past year, his workload should have been the least.

Aside from "Police Story 2013," he only appeared in two other films, both of which were cameo roles.

Coincidentally, the release dates of these two films are also very close: "Personal Tailor" is on December 19th, and "As the Light Goes Out" is on January 3rd, both belonging to the Lunar New Year film season.

They're fighting each other, but the good news is that at least they're not in the same week.

Brother Cheng Long was very happy to see the two of them and kept patting Jiang Yang's arm excitedly.

"Although we haven't seen each other this year, I've heard from you often. You're a completely different person now."

.

"I only found out you were so famous when a reporter asked me about the kicking incident."

"Haha, impressive skill!"

Police Story 2013 did nothing, yet the second male lead and the female lead's popularity skyrocketed. Isn't that like a windfall?

Director Ding Sheng was smug.

He did have some concerns when he chose Jiang Yang, mainly because Jiang Yang's status was clearly inferior to Liu Huohua's.

Now, hehe.

If Jiang Yang were to compare his fan base with Liu Huohua, who doesn't follow the idol route, it would be unfair to him.

What's the best part?

He and Jing Tian didn't become famous separately; rather, they became famous after co-starring in "Si Teng" and gained popularity for their roles in the series.

The pairing has become incredibly popular.

The release of "Police Story 2013" has garnered a huge response and high level of attention even before it entered the promotional period.

CP fans are ecstatic!

Previously, I strongly requested that a sequel to "Sito" be made to support their second collaboration. I didn't expect that it would happen in just three months?

Second attempt? No, no, no.

"Police Story 2013" is not a second collaboration; Jiang Yang and Jing Tian filmed "Si Teng" after filming "Police Story 2013," and fans don't mind.

That just shows that they were already very familiar with each other when they filmed "Si Teng".

No wonder they have such great chemistry!

So cute!

You're the best, Fierce Vine!

Cheng Long and Ding Sheng both realized that Jiang Yang and Jing Tian, ​​this popular on-screen couple, could be a major selling point for "Police Story 2013," but it seems they underestimated them.

Do you even know how valuable a popular couple is?

Wherever the film crew went, fans lined the streets to welcome them with great enthusiasm, their screams filling the air and creating a lively atmosphere.

Jiang Yang and Jing Tian had to personally step in to maintain order.

Jackie Chan is a worldly man. He was very popular in Japan in the 80s. Japan is the birthplace of East Asian idol culture and has long been exposed to the influence of fanatical fans.

This scene filled him with emotion.

"It seems your popularity is even more terrifying than I imagined."

"This should be a good thing for Police Story 2013."

"But they don't seem to care or even know I exist. Next time I'll have to give way to you two. You two stand in the middle."

If it were someone else, these words would sound sarcastic.

However, given Jackie Chan's status, it's not worth fussing over these things; it's just a joke.

Jiang Yang and the other man naturally couldn't really steal his spotlight, so they always mentioned that "Police Story 2013" was a Jackie Chan movie.

This is also true.

The Police Story series is Jackie Chan's signature film; without him, the movies wouldn't be called that at all.

Thanks to the popularity of the Jiang Yang and Jing Tian couple, "Police Story 2013" became a hit even before its release, and the older brother praised it highly during an interview.

"Jiang Yang is excellent. This is his first film, but his performance is impeccable."

"His action scenes are good, his dramatic scenes are also very good, and what's most remarkable is that he not only acts well himself, but he is also very good at motivating the other actors in the crew."

"When I was his age, I didn't have this ability!"

It sounds fine.

However, after it was posted, it unexpectedly caused a small controversy.

Jing Tian's fans are very dissatisfied with this.

Why only praise Jiang Yang and not our sweetie?

Do you mean she didn't perform well?

Because Jing Tian used to have the infamous title of "Queen of Bad Movies," and now some haters still use this to mock her, her fans are very opposed to it.

Fans have sensitive skin like that.

Even without direct denigration, you can't imagine what you might say that might offend them without them even realizing it.

Jing Tian's performance in "Police Story 2013" was adequate but unremarkable.

Compared to earlier dark histories like "The Warring States Period," this represents significant progress.

I don't talk about Jackie Chan, mainly because there's nothing to talk about.

Even if you put Zhang Ziyi or Gong Li in this role, they wouldn't be able to bring anything to the table.

At Jiang Yang's suggestion, Jing Tian paid close attention to her fans' activities. If her team hadn't noticed and calmed them down in time, they might have even threatened Cheng Long.
