But Jackie Chan was still very vigilant, even more vigilant than Wei Jun.

"Director Wei, be careful of Stephen Chow."

Jackie Chan specifically found Wei Jun and reminded him, "Stephen Chow is a very capable fighter and should never be underestimated."

“Don’t worry, Brother Long, only a fool would look down on Master Xing.

"Wei Jun was very calm: "But don't worry too much, Stephen Chow is indeed a good fighter, but we are also very good fighters.

Moreover, during the Spring Festival, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" didn't have any advantages over our subject matter. "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is positioned as an action comedy. After all, it's a Jackie Chan film, and it's aimed at the Spring Festival family-friendly season, so it's bound to be more popular. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is different; it's essentially a horror mythology film, a darker take on "Journey to the West."

Wei Jun remembered that in his previous life, a child was frightened to tears after watching "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

This kind of subject matter is actually not suitable for the Spring Festival period, but the box office of the Spring Festival period is high, so the film producers don’t care whether it is suitable or not.

"The premiere of 'Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons' will be held in two days. Let's go and see it together then."

Wei Jundao.

Jackie Chan nodded and said: "Yes, we should go and see it. It is our strongest opponent during the Spring Festival." The premiere of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" was on the third day after "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which was staggered with the premiere of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

There is no need to be confrontational. We are all in the same circle and we will meet each other sooner or later.

Besides, Wei Jun and Stephen Chow have no grudge against each other, so why would they have to fight?

Wei Jun and Jackie Chan attended the premiere of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" together, giving Stephen Chow enough face.

After watching it, Jackie Chan felt relieved.

To be honest, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is okay, but compared with the average level of Stephen Chow's movies, it is obviously an order of magnitude lower.

It is definitely not a classic.

In this case, the subject matter clearly favors "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains."

Of course, Jackie Chan certainly wouldn't reveal his true thoughts during the commercial praise. His review was this: "This is the best Journey to the West movie I've seen this year."

Wei Jun almost spit out the words when he heard them.

He dared to guarantee that Jackie Chan had definitely watched this Journey to the West movie this year.

Wei Jun is much more honest than Jackie Chan. As a movie fan, he spoke his mind: "In fact, I would rather see Stephen Chow as an actor than a director.

I like Stephen Chow the actor, not Stephen Chow the director."

Actor Stephen Chow has created many classics, and can even be said to be unique.

To be honest, director Stephen Chow is just so-so.

After hearing Wei Jun's comments, the smile on Stephen Chow's face slowly disappeared.

Of course, everyone is a matter of routine, and no one will lose their temper on the spot.

However, it is obvious that Stephen Chow is not satisfied with Wei Jun's comments.

This was later proven true.

"Master Xing isn't attending our premiere?" Wei Jun looked strange.

Jackie Chan patted Wei Jun on the shoulder and comforted him, "That's just his personality, don't take it to heart.

If he had known how to behave, he wouldn't be targeted by so many people."

Wei Jun shook his head and smiled, "I didn't take it personally, but this is indeed very unkind. It's basic social etiquette not to reciprocate."

"It's normal for this to happen to him. When he was filming Kung Fu, it also conflicted with Feng Xiaogang's A World Without Thieves. He invited Feng Xiaogang to make a cameo appearance in Kung Fu, and Feng Xiaogang readily agreed.

As a result, Feng Xiaogang invited him to make a cameo appearance in A World Without Thieves, but Stephen Chow refused outright, which nearly pissed Feng off to death.

Jackie Chan said with a smile.

Wei Jun also saw the news about this.

"Eccentrics all have their quirks, and they have the right to be arrogant."

Wei Jun said: "However, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons is not a movie that can make Stephen Chow proud. It is just average for him.

Stephen Chow the actor is scary, but to be honest, there's not much to be afraid of about Stephen Chow the director."

"I also felt relieved after watching Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. He made it so scary."

Jackie Chan said: "Children will definitely be scared if they see this."

"Let him alone, we just do our best.

It's not like we're facing "Kung Fu Hustle" or "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."

If it were to face a classic film as a rival, Wei Jun would indeed be nervous and worried. Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons is only a 7 out of 10, far from being a classic.

Of course, his "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is not a classic either, but when the quality of everyone is similar, factors such as publicity, scheduling, subject matter, release date, actors, etc. are very important.

In the latter aspects, Wei Jun is confident that he can defeat his opponent.

So Mr. Wei has nothing to worry about.

In fact, Wei Jun has an even more vicious method. The leading actor of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is Wang Xuehan. If Wei Jun exposes the affair between Wang Xuehan and Yao Di, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will definitely plummet.

But Wei Jun was too lazy to use that method.

Yes, but not necessary.

In a fair PK with real weapons, Wei Jun is confident of winning.

Why resort to such unconventional means?

If the other party doesn't follow the rules, then you should break the rules too.

But Wei Jun is now famous, and the distribution of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was done by Huayi Brothers. The two Mr. Wangs really don't dare to use any tricks against Wei Jun, and they don't dare to provoke Princess Tian either.

So everyone competes in a friendly manner.

In that case, just do it with all your ability.

The market has more confidence in the combination of Wei Jun + Jackie Chan, which has already been successful once. The starring actors on Stephen Chow's side are Wen Zhang as Tang Sanzang, Huang Bo as Sun Wukong, and Shu Qi as the heroine. To be honest, the box office appeal of this combination in the 2013 Spring Festival movie circle is not enough for director Stephen Chow to beat alone.

But director Stephen Chow is not better than director Wei Jun at the box office.

Jackie Chan is recognized by most people as the number one Chinese-language star, and his status and popularity are no less than Stephen Chow.

Although the quality of the two films is similar, from the first day, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" clearly widened the gap with "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Although it is not a lot, only 2000 million, it is a gap.

The reputation of the two is also similar.

However, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" made the audience feel happy and laugh, while "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" made children cry.

Three days have passed since the Spring Festival period, and many people believe that the overall outcome of the Spring Festival period has been decided.

2021/6/27第24章魏导要做原创综艺 《富春山居图》和《西游降魔篇》齐头并进，但是《富春山居图》的票房每天都比《西游降魔篇》多几千万三天过去已经超出了8000万。

The reputation of both parties is not much different, fluctuating around 8 points, which also makes it difficult for the reputation to reverse.

In this case, the theater's screening schedule will not change. After seeing this situation, all the crew members of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" began to cheer.

"Stable."

"The Spring Festival box office champion is in hand."

"Director Wei is awesome, Brother Long is awesome."

Wei Jun stopped everyone from celebrating early.

"Everyone calm down, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons hasn't completely surrendered yet."

The Duke of Wei showed no joy.

This victory was expected. Once you win once, it is natural to win again.

Because you're already at that height.

So Wei Junyuan was not as happy as when "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" broke the record.

"Master Xing has already started to work hard, so we also need to step up our efforts in publicity and promotion, and everyone should also pay attention during the roadshow."

Jackie Chan also lamented, "Stephen Chow has really started to show his strength, actually praising the actors of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons so much.

Stephen Chow said: "Huang Bo is the fifth comedian of our time. After seeing him play the Monkey King, I no longer dare to act."

Huang Bo was almost scared to tears after hearing Stephen Chow's praise.

It is obvious that no one believes this.

But Stephen Chow just kept blowing it like that.

It is obvious that for the sake of popularity and box office, Stephen Chow is willing to give it his all.

This hype is still useful.

After all, there are always people who want to see how well Huang Bo played the role of Sun Wukong that Stephen Chow praised him so much.

Then after watching it, they started cursing... They felt cheated... But at this point the box office had already been contributed, so the film company didn't care if they were scolded.

Wei Jun has never praised the actors of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" so much. The main reason is that except for Jackie Chan, the other actors may even have problems with their stance. Wei Jun would be stupid to praise them.

They are the only ones who praise Director Wei.

Especially the two heroines.

However, Wei Jun did not sit idly by.

Wei Jun chose to hype Jackie Chan and play the emotional card, and that kind of invincible emotional card.

The only problem is that the other party can also use this sentimental card.

However, we have the advantage of taking the initiative. As long as we catch the opponent off guard, it will be too late for them to catch up even if they want to.

"Brother Long, the publicity and promotion department has an idea."

Wei Jun put the blame on the publicity department: "During your roadshow, you told the public that Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains was your last film."

Jackie Chan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and laughed, "No problem."

Jackie Chan feels no psychological pressure at all when doing this kind of thing.

Because he and Jet Li have done this more than once.

Every time they make a movie, these two like to declare that it will be their last.

Anyway, just trick as many people as you can into the cinema.

Don't expect actors to have any moral integrity.

Even Jackie Chan doesn't have this, he lies right away.

"To coincide with your retirement, the publicity department will hype up a hashtag called #OweJackieChanAMovieTicketMachine. After all, many people grew up watching your pirated movies.

Now these people have grown up and are the main force in watching movies."

When Wei Jun said this, Jackie Chan's eyes lit up instantly.

“You can actually play like this?

Of course it is possible.

This sentimental trick was actually used by Stephen Chow when he was making "The Mermaid". At that time, the hype of #owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket# was so widespread that it directly pushed the box office of "The Mermaid" to more than 30 billion.

However, the quality of "The Mermaid" is about the same as "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

30 billion out of the 20 billion box office revenue is due to sentiment.

The power of emotion is evident.

Wei Jun is actually not very willing to hype up sentiments, but if he doesn't use this thing, others will.

Wei Jun thought it would be better for him to use it in advance, so as to block others from hyping it up.

Of course, Jackie Chan can hype himself like this, and so can Stephen Chow.

After this move comes out, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will definitely be confused for a day or two, and then they will follow suit.

In fact, it doesn't matter.

It would be nice if we could all make money together.

Moreover, if both sides really hype up sentimentality, it will only make the sentimentality card rot faster and make the competition in the Chinese-language film industry more rational.

Wei Jun could also accept this result.
