Chapter 101 Premiere of the movie "The Grandmaster"

On October 2000th, 10, it was still Hengdian Film and Television Filming City, but at this time, the crew of "The Grandmaster" had already cooperated much more proficiently than in the previous few months.

Visible to the naked eye, the scene after scene of the filming scene was directly passed by Zhang Jin and others until the end.

In the atmosphere of flying artificial snowflakes all over the sky, Ma San and Miss Gong Er directly confronted each other beside the train.

In the snow, the two figures were moving and flickering constantly, their fists and feet were interlaced and fighting each other, their eyes were so cold that there was no trace of fellowship.

Facing the flying snow all over the sky, Ma San was wearing a black cotton hat and a black cotton robe, and there was a very ferocious meaning rushing towards his face when he moved with both hands.

But in the face of Ma San's fierce and unparalleled moves, Miss Gong Er, who was wearing a black mink collar coat, looked extremely calm, not just calm, but also had a domineering demeanor in her demeanor and movements when she made the move.

Soon, the confrontation between Ma San and Miss Gong Er began to heat up. During this period, Miss Gong Er was even almost pressed by Ma San directly on the train, and her head was reduced to a dangerous level.

But even if she fell into such a dangerous situation, Miss Gong's face remained calm and calm. In the end, because she was not in danger, she found the right opportunity to use the old ape hanging seal, and directly killed the horse. San was violently hit and flew onto the body of the fast-running train, and Ma San lost all his strength to resist with one blow, and instantly fell into the situation of vomiting blood and dying.

In the wind and snow, Ma San vomited blood and struggled to get up. He stared at Miss Gong Er who was looking down in front of him with absent-minded eyes, and said in a trembling voice:

"The other day, Master once told me about his unique skill, Old Ape Hanging Seal..."

"He told me that the biggest hurdle in this move is turning around..."

"But that day, I thought that he was slow..."

While speaking, Ma San tried his best to support his body in the snow, looking at the Second Miss Gong with red eyes and tears.

Afterwards, Ma San, who had just finished speaking, suddenly raised his tone again, and shouted at the Second Miss Gong with all his strength in his chest:
"Today, I returned the things from the Gong family!"

But for Ma San's last hoarse words, it is obvious that Miss Gong Er does not agree.

As the snowflakes were flying, she stood with her hands scattered by her waist, looked at Ma San with cold eyes, and said in a very cold and decisive tone:

"Be clear, you didn't return the things from the Gong family, I picked them up myself!"

After finishing speaking, Miss Gong Er turned around and left without looking back. The only thing left behind was Ma San's complicated eyes full of tears, lying on the cold snow.

"Cut! Passed!"

"Zhang Jin, Smile, the final acting skills of the two of you are really great. Watching the final performance of the two of you, even I was not consciously brought into it by you."

"I believe that with this scene in the future, the two of you will also become famous after the release of this movie, hahahaha!"

Behind the monitor, looking at Zhang Jin and Jin Xiaoxiao who perfectly completed the classic scene of Ma San and Miss Gong Er's duel at the train station in one go, Cao Qing could only feel his inner emotions surging for the first time, and couldn't help it. Haha laughed loudly.

"No, no, it's all because of the director's training."

After the filming was successfully completed, Zhang Jin just got up from the artificial snowflakes all over the floor when he heard Cao Qing praise him.

Hearing Cao Qing's praise, Zhang Jin, who was rather thin-skinned, couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hands at Cao Qing.

Compared with Zhang Jin's thin skin, Jin Xiaoxiao, who had been with Cao Qing for a long time, behaved completely differently.

After hearing Cao Qing's praise for her, not only was he not embarrassed at all, on the contrary, she also proudly raised her head to Cao Qing, indicating that Cao Qing has a good vision and can continue to praise her.

Seeing Jin Xiaoxiao's cheeky performance like an old fried dough stick, Cao Qing almost couldn't hold back his laughter on the spot for a while.

"Okay, look at your tail is almost up to the sky, you should learn more from Zhang Jin in this respect, look at you, you are not reserved at all."

"It's not bad for me to praise you a few times. The staff of our production team are also leaving get off work. If I praise you a few more words, it will only delay people's rest time after get off work."

"At this point, I'm not the kind of boss who likes to exploit his employees."

After finishing speaking, Cao Qing turned his head and shouted a word to the crew members who were watching.

"It's finished, brothers, our movie "The Grandmaster" has been filmed for about four months, and it has finally come to a successful conclusion."

"Tonight, let's go to the hotel to get together, and after we go to the hotel, we can go to the KTV to sing together. Do you look forward to it!"

Accompanied by Cao Qing's words, the whole crew of "The Grandmaster" burst into wild shouts, and the emotions of all the staff members in the filming location were instantly raised and excited.

Even because of being too excited, these crew members, who are usually honest and obedient, even lifted Cao Qing and threw him into the air. The atmosphere of the audience was full of joy and enthusiasm!

That is to say, in this kind of celebration, when everyone in the crew of "The Grandmaster" packed up the props, the atmosphere became extremely joyful.

Accompanied by this happy atmosphere, Cao Qing, who had successfully completed all the finishing work at five or six in the afternoon, rushed to the celebration hotel with a large group of behind-the-scenes staff who were screaming like hungry wolves. middle.

Then a large group of them rushed to the next meeting point ktv after eating and drinking in the hotel, and directly set off a frenzy of magic sounds in the ktv.

Soon, accompanied by this frenzy of magic sounds, October 10th, the production day of "The Grandmaster" crew, passed quickly.

Next, Cao Qing rushed back to the capital without stopping, and quickly carried out the intense follow-up production work in the capital company.

After half a month, on November 11rd, all the editing, soundtrack, and special effects of the movie "The Grandmaster" were finally completed under the unity of many staff members in Tenda Film and Television Entertainment.

And on November 11, with the help of China Film Corporation Han Sanpin, the film succeeded in a miraculous situation with almost no cuts, and was directly distributed to major theaters across the country by China Film Corporation. .

It was at this time that Tengda Film and Television Entertainment, which had been preparing for a long time, finally began to use its well-developed media relations to carry out publicity and promotion across the country frantically.

It is slightly different from the promotional methods of those ordinary movies these days. As a time traveler who has experienced the tricky publicity methods of later generations and understands the importance of the Internet, for his third movie, Cao Qing did not use some normal media methods. It also cooperated with Tianya website in a very ingenious way.

In addition to directly hanging the promotional picture of the movie "The Grandmaster" on the homepage of the Tianya website, he also directly held a lottery for those active netizens on the film and television section of the Tianya forum.

The number of participants in this lottery event was finally evaluated by Tianya and Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company, and a total of nearly [-] lottery netizens were determined.

Of course, most of the [-] active netizens who could qualify for the lottery were secretly investigated by Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company.

Those netizens who were obviously not interested in Cao Qing’s movies and who were full of aggression, except for a few who were let off by Cao Qing and entered the [-] lucky netizens so that the results of this lottery would not be too false, the rest of the Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company or Cao Qing's personal black fan completely lost the possibility of being eligible for the lottery from the very beginning.

And after filtering out those black fans of himself and his company, in order to arouse widespread discussion and news enthusiasm in the society, the amount of rewards that Cao Qing put in the lottery box this time is quite good.

Among the [-] enthusiastic netizens, even the most unlucky group got six tickets to the premiere of "The Grandmaster" directly.

As for the vast majority of this group of people, as the relatively unlucky group of [-] lottery netizens this time, in addition to getting six movie tickets each, they also got four tickets from Cao Qing, Signed photo photos of Jin Xiaoxiao, Lin Zhiling, and Zhang Jin.

As for the luckiest half of the remaining group of people, the 50 of them not only had six movie tickets and four celebrity-signed photo photos, but were also presented by Cao Qing with a round-trip ticket from various places to the imperial capital. Plane tickets.

Relying on this kind of publicity, soon, not only many netizens on the Tianya website who were looking forward to Cao Qing's movie were discussing it endlessly, but even many viewers across the country were concerned about Cao Qing's movie because of this. The favorability of the movie has improved a lot.

Among them, many young domestic people who didn't pay much attention to Cao Qing's movie called "The Grandmaster" also walked into the movie theater out of curiosity.

In this way, Cao Qing, who had spent a total of 120 million publicity funds, finally took the movie "The Grandmaster" into theaters across the country just ten days before 2001, and directly started its premiere nationwide. reflect.

……

On December 2000, 12, in the capital movie theater in Beijing, countless young audiences flocked to the movie theater, which quickly caused a phenomenon of being overwhelmed by the movie theater.

Of course, many of these audiences frantically pouring into the capital cinema must have been sent by Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company for show and hype.

However, the traffic jam happened because of this, which even Cao Qing himself did not expect. He really underestimated his reputation in the whole country.

Because of this incident, the Capital Cinema and the movie "The Grandmaster" were on the news in the imperial capital that night. This was a blessing in disguise and brought a lot of attention to Cao Qing's movie.

And because of this, the attendance rate of major movie theaters in Beijing, which already had an attendance rate of close to 87.3%, was directly raised to about [-]% in the second or third day for Cao Qing's "The Grandmaster" movie.

But that's all for the next two days. What's really worth saying about the movie "The Grandmaster" is its premiere performance.

On the day of the premiere, there were almost [-] seats in Auditorium No. [-] in the Beijing Capital Cinema, except for the relatives and friends of the main creator and crew of the movie "The Grandmaster" specially invited by Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company. In addition, most of the audience in the movie hall are real audiences.

Among these real audiences, there are not only die-hard fans of Cao Qing’s films who came to watch the movie because of Cao Qing’s personal director ability, but also movie lovers who came to watch the movie because of the publicity, and many are preparing to watch the movie after watching the movie. Those film critics and media reporters who immediately commented on this movie.

And Cao Qing and Jin Xiaoxiao just randomly mixed among these movie audiences with different ideas. While wearing hats, wigs and sunglasses, they tried their best to keep a low profile, while constantly watching the reactions of these audiences in the theater.

"Mr. Cao, I heard that when your first movie "Crazy Stone" was released, the attendance rate for the premiere of your movie was already as high as [-]%. By the way, you shouldn't have experienced the so-called low period, right?"

Low-key among the movie audience, Jin Xiaoxiao ate the big bucket of popcorn snacks in his hand, gently poked Cao Qing's arm with his hand, and asked in a low voice curiously.

"That's when I ate crabs early. At that time, almost no one in China would advertise on the Internet. I just seized this opportunity and raised the attendance rate to such a high level."

"And besides that, another reason why my movie "Crazy Stone" was able to have such a high attendance rate was that there were not many theaters that launched my movie in China at that time."

"So those audiences who are curious about my movie are all concentrated in the few theaters that are willing to play my movie, so that on the day of the premiere of my "Crazy Stone", the attendance rate reached [-] become."

"This kind of thing is completely the result of the right time, place and people's joint efforts. Even if you ask me to do it again, I may not be able to do it."

Hearing Jin's smiling words, Cao Qing, who was huddled on the seat in the corner of the movie theater and was also munching on popcorn, shook his head with a bit of a smile.

After finishing speaking, Cao Qing directly changed the topic and said:

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Instead of paying attention to my successful first movie, what we should care most about now is the upcoming "The Grandmaster". I hope its premiere will be a good one. result."

"Okay, listen to you, let's focus on watching the movie in front of us first, and go back easily."

Hearing Cao Qing's answer, Jin smiled and shrugged, feeling a little bored, and obediently chose not to speak anymore.

At this time, the screen in the movie theater was finally about to start playing, and the atmosphere in the movie hall, which was still somewhat noisy, suddenly fell silent. Everyone stopped chatting and turned to look at the big screen in front of them.

And at the moment when the big screen in front of him suddenly lit up, Cao Qing also looked at the movie screen slowly appearing on the big screen in front of him with special eagerness, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice like a mosquito. Saying:

"King of Sunglasses, I don't know if you have watched my movie in Hong Kong Island. If you have, how would you evaluate my movie?"

"Is it a compliment...or do you think I'm superfluous...?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Qing had a complicated expression on his face.
