The premiere of "Notes on Tomb Raiders" is scheduled for Sunday night on the 14th of the twelfth lunar month.

At this time, the New Year's film is still being shown, and it will be the Spring Festival holiday for Hong Kong people in nine days. These nine days are also the last and most critical wave of publicity before the film is released.

The location of the premiere was naturally selected at the Taiping Theatre, and it was also screened in five theaters including the Queen’s Theatre. The movie tickets for the premiere and the screening required a lot of effort from the audience to buy them.

The special effects blockbuster costing 130 million Hong Kong dollars to create, the audience is still very interested, and they want to see where the money is spent.

Kang Jianfei said at the beginning that the cost of "Tomb Raiders" was over 100 million yuan, and it was not capped. In the end, it spent a little more than 120 million yuan, mainly on special effects. Fortunately, the production of "Terminator 2" has accumulated experience for the development of computer special effects. "Tomb Notes" does not need to slowly explore the special effects processing, so it took only one year to shoot, otherwise the production cycle will be longer and the cost will be high. bigger.

James Cameron's fellow, why does it often exceed the production schedule, and it takes a few years to make a movie, which doubles the production cost? Because he has been innovating, he personally led the team to develop a new type of camera in order to make a movie, and later became even more mad. In order to make the film projection effect better, he went to promote the new big screen without his business.

When Kang Jianfei remembered it, he was full of emotion. Why can't there be such an outlier among Chinese directors, but they are only satisfied with small box office?

The premiere officially started at 7:20 pm, with a 40-minute live interaction, and the film premiere at 8:00. The other five theaters also start simultaneously at 8 o'clock.

Before 7 o'clock, many audience members came to the Taiping Theater, and there were even scalpers selling high-priced premiere tickets on the roadside.

The reporters also came early and stood outside the cinema to interview the star guest - Kang Jianfei's movie premiere. Almost all of the big-name celebrities from the Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company came to support them, except those who couldn't get away from filming. Second- and third-tier stars who are not well-known. It's because I don't have the qualifications to come, because the number of invited guests for the premiere is limited.

Last year and previous Kang Jianfei's films did not hold a premiere. This year's premiere of "Notes from the Tomb Raiders" has not yet started, but it is enough to raise eyebrows.

There was even a red carpet outside the Taiping Theater. Popular movie and TV stars came to the scene one after another. The shutters of the cameras of the reporters kept flashing. This grand scene gave people the illusion of participating in a large ceremony.

"What a lavish premiere, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, right?" Yuan Biao asked as he walked beside Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao waved at the reporter's camera with a smile, and said in a low voice, "The premiere venue is owned by Kang Jianfei, and the reporters came to promote it for free. Celebrity guests and film critics also came to join us for free, and even the host of the awards ceremony was there for free. It belongs to Phoenix TV. There are more than 2,000 seats in the Taiping Theater, and more than 1,000 seats in the back are sold at high prices to movie fans. For a premiere of this scale, it would cost us at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Money, but can make a fortune.”

Yuan Biao laughed at himself and said, "It's no wonder that others can make a fortune, I can only make some hard money by filming."

The two were talking and laughing and were about to walk into the theater, when they heard a noise behind them, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao couldn't help but look back.

"Why is Brother Long here?" Yuan Biao said in surprise.

Hong Jinbao was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled relievedly: "His mind is wild. The headache should be Mr. Zou."

The person who came was Cheng Long, who was surrounded by reporters at this time, because his appearance was too surprising. Cheng Long and Kang Jianfei have worked together before. But since then, it has been in a competitive relationship, and the meeting is only a courtesy greeting.

Cheng Long came to the premiere of "Notes on the Tomb Raiders" today. Could it be that he is leaving Golden Harvest and moving to DreamWorks?

All journalists have great brains. As soon as Cheng Long appeared, he immediately thought that he was 108,000 miles away.

In fact, Cheng Long's appearance was very simple. He just wanted to express his goodwill to Kang Jianfei. After relaxing the relationship, he might be able to cooperate in filming someday.

It was Hong Jinbao who prompted Cheng Long to make this move. Four films starring Hong Jinbao were simultaneously shown in four theaters in the new year. This situation really stimulated Cheng Long. Although Cheng Long's "Miracle" just sold more than 30 million at the box office, Hong Jinbao runs two film companies at the same time. Last year, he produced, starred and directed a total of seven plays, earning far more money than Cheng Long.

I saw that Hong Jinbao made a lot of money. Will the more famous Cheng Long be psychologically balanced? Now Cheng Long has begun to contact Taiwan's Judeng Company and promised to star in a commercial film produced by Yang Dengkui.

Although Cheng Long is still making films for Jiahe, he has privately received a film contract from Taiwan's Judeng Company, and its nature is no different from the cooperation between Hong Jinbao and Xinbao Cinema. Because Golden Harvest's Taiwanese film partner is Longxiang Films, and Yang Dengkui is now starting to cooperate with other theater chains, Judeng and Longxiang are in a competitive relationship in Taiwan.

In other words, Cheng Long chose to cooperate with a competitor of Golden Harvest's partner. Once the news is announced, it will make Zou Wenhuai very embarrassed, and it will be difficult to explain to his partner Longxiang Pictures.

Cheng Long is not stunned, he obviously knows this. This time I came to the premiere of "Notes on Tomb Raiders" not only to express goodwill to Kang Jianfei, but also to show Zou Wenhuai's muscles.

If Zou Wenhuai is smart, he will definitely compromise with Cheng Long and no longer prohibit him from cooperating with other companies.

If other actors do this kind of thing, they will definitely be banned by a big company like Jiahe, but Cheng Long is full of wings and can't be banned at all. Do you think that after Hong Jinbao cooperated with Xinbao, Jiahe still "disregarded previous suspicions" and continued to choose to cooperate with Hong Jinbao?

It was the example of Hong Jinbao that prompted Cheng Long to take this step. In fact, Cheng Long's thoughts put it bluntly: why does he earn more than me?

In fact, these are all the bad fruits that Zou Wenhuai planted by himself. He promoted the professional director system in Hong Kong, broke the inherent large-scale studio model, made a great contribution to the development of Hong Kong movies, and also made Jiahe leap into the whole Hong Kong. One of the best movie companies.

But Xiao He also defeated Xiao He. More than half of the top directors and companies that Zou Wenhuai cultivated have now left him and turned into Jiahe's competitors.

There is no other reason, Jiahe and the ** directors are for the benefit of cooperation. Maybe there was affection mixed in it at first, but when one day, the best of benevolence and righteousness, Jiahe couldn't satisfy the appetite of these ** directors, people naturally chose to leave.

Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long had the most to eat in Jiahe, but their appetites were getting bigger and bigger, and Jiahe could no longer satisfy them.

Kang Jianfei does not have these hidden dangers. If the original DreamWorks is still a big studio system, then the company's various departments have been split into separate distribution, brokerage companies, and the establishment and growth of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group. It has been successfully transformed into a fine division of labor. diversified entertainment group.

The Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group focuses on the cultivation of talent teams, scientific management and operation and the mutually beneficial cooperation of various companies. It has never placed its treasure on a certain star, nor will it limit the freedom of its artists too much. Anyway, there will not be a situation where the company will collapse by half as soon as the pillar leaves. This is the essential difference from Golden Harvest Pictures.

Not to mention gossip, but said that Cheng Long, among the many surprised eyes, leisurely pressed the number on the invitation to find a seat and sat down, which happened to be sitting next to Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao.

"Aaron is here too?" Hong Jin Bao pretended to have just discovered Cheng Long.

Cheng Long smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Kang sends me invitations every time the premiere is held. I'm really sorry if I don't come again."

"I am also very kind." Hong Jinbao said with a smile.

Yuan Biao sat next to him, listening to the conversation between the two senior brothers, feeling very awkward. Hong Jinbao helped him, and Cheng Long helped him. Now there is an obvious gap between the two, but Yuan Biao doesn't know how to help them resolve it.

There are more and more guests and audiences entering the venue. Stars such as Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingchi, Zhong Chuhong, and Li Jiaxin are all here. Many of the others who did not come are filming. Because the Spring Festival holiday is coming soon, many crews are busy rushing to the show. knock off. As for Li Lianjie, Wang Zuixian and Guan Zhilin, they went home early to reunite and wait for the Spring Festival, and their families are not in Hong Kong.

There are hundreds of media reporters and film critics, occupying a large number of seats, and some photojournalists squatting in the aisle to take pictures, their cameras will be put away after the film starts.

As time passed, the lights in the Taiping Theater suddenly dimmed, and the premiere finally officially started.

The two hosts were Chen Baixiang and Mao Shunyun. After a while of opening remarks, they invited the main creative members of the film to the stage.

Zhang Dan sat down next to Kang Jianfei, while Kang Jianfei deliberately moved away to keep his distance. There are a lot of old friends sitting in the following star guest seats, Zhong Chuhong, Li Jiaxin, Lan Jieying, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Saifeng, Wen Bixia, Li Lizhen... There are eight or nine of them, and they may turn into jealous jars at any time, but he dare not be on stage Too much intimacy with Zhang Dan.

Kang Jianfei sat there calmly and didn't speak much. With his high status, he naturally had to be a little more restrained~lightnovelpub.net~ He couldn't do his best to attract audiences and create topics like before.

Basically, Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Dan and Zeng Jiang talked about a lot of interesting stories during the shooting, and Kang Jianfei occasionally interjected to enhance the atmosphere.

The interactive session lasted for 40 minutes, and finally entered the whole tonight. The host and the main creative team stepped down and prepared to show "Tomb Notes".

More than 20 staff members patrolled the venue, reminding reporters to put away their cameras and prohibit taking pictures, and even stared at the auditorium to search carefully to prevent anyone from secretly filming a movie with a small camera.

Piracy is so rampant these days, especially with the popularity of home video recorders, the video tape rental business has become booming, and more than half of the video tapes on the market are pirated.

Hong Kong films have a tradition of midnight screenings. Many films are now screened at midnight, and then re-cut according to the audience's reaction. There is about a week time difference from the midnight screening to the official release.

After the development of the videotape industry, many people went to the midnight scene to secretly film, so that many times the movie has not been officially released in the theater, and the pirated videotapes on the roadside stalls are listed ahead of schedule. (To be continued)()
