Chapter 533, "A Trip to Hong Kong," is scheduled for release!
The release date for "Hong Kong Trip" has been officially confirmed.
In comparison, completing a task always brings a sense of relief.
The two sides then discussed the pre-release roadshow and preview screening arrangements. The final performance of the film will depend on the pre-release publicity and marketing.
Zhu Yanmanzi pushed open the door and walked in.
Just then, Chen Jin hung up the phone.
To be precise, the announcement of the release date is already quite late.
In North America, the release date would typically be announced even before filming is complete or during post-production.
This has indeed had a significant effect in terms of marketing strategies.
Once the audience's expectations are fully raised, the popularity will naturally increase.
In particular, setting the release date in advance can reduce the chances of clashing with other works.
after all--
Nobody wants to go head-to-head with a powerful IP.
"Has it been dealt with?"
Chen Jin nodded; her schedule for the second half of the year was quite full.
With the release date of "Hong Kong Tour" confirmed in August, a series of pre-release preparations naturally began.
As for "My Old Classmate", the cast has been finalized, and according to Guo Fan's idea, the sooner filming starts, the better.
To release it as early as possible on the original date.
In addition, there are the subsequent screening arrangements and roadshows for "Hong Kong Trip".
After confirming the schedule with the relativity team, Chen Jin contacted Chen Su to discuss the next steps.
As a zombie movie, it's natural to generate buzz as early as possible.
Compared to other lighthearted comedies or heartwarming films, zombie movies have a much smaller audience.
Especially for families with young children, there will definitely be some concerns.
Actually.
Since filming began, everyone has been eagerly anticipating this movie.
Chen Jin previously provided an explanation for this work.
In contrast to the horror scenes, the core of "A Trip to Hong Kong" is to explore the complexities of human nature.
The choices made in times of crisis, and the malice born out of fear.
but.
However, there are clear boundaries to the definition of humanity. Under extreme pressure, some people are willing to sacrifice themselves to save others.
However, some people are extremely selfish to the extreme.
It has to be said that this movie is definitely attractive to everyone. Now the main thing is to see how the audience views this work during the publicity and distribution process.
The release date for "Hong Kong Trip" is set for the National Day holiday.
The news caused an instant uproar online.
This movie was already a hit before its release, with the strong addition of Batman Bale and kung fu superstar Jackie Chan, plus Chen Jin, the Grand Slam winner of "Fast & Furious 6" so far.
Such a lineup is truly impossible to ignore.
All of a sudden.
It's being discussed all over the internet.
The overwhelming news reports have swept across both domestic and international markets, and everyone can imagine Chen Jin's recent popularity. His latest masterpiece is scheduled for release, which is enough to stir up a storm.

[The National Day holiday film season instantly transforms into a "survival battlefield," with Bear Grylls, Jackie Chan, and Chen Jin teaming up to fight off a zombie horde!]
[Highly anticipated even before release! "Hong Kong Tour" is set for National Day, offering a thrilling post-apocalyptic escape experience!]

【…】
It's impossible not to look forward to it.
Putting everything else aside, this lineup alone has already driven many movie fans into a frenzy.
"My expectations are through the roof!"
"I can't even imagine how explosive the scene will be when Batman and a kung fu superstar clash with the villain."
"I wonder if it will be scary?"
"This is an absolutely dream collaboration!"
Despite the high-risk nature of the experiment, people are still extremely interested in this film.
Without exception, they learned to overcome even fear.
There's a lot of discussion online. The combination of these three seems a bit far-fetched, but it's strangely hilarious.
Huayi at this moment.
Wang Zhonglei was so angry he laughed.
He never expected that his brother's words would come true, and that his film would actually clash with Chen Jin's "Hong Kong Trip".
Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon.
This work had already been withdrawn from release once before, but after careful consideration, Huayi encountered an even bigger problem.
It wasn't that they were particularly afraid of Chen Jin and his group's power.
mainly--
This time, the lead actors are Christian Bale and Jackie Chan, and their collaboration is sure to dominate the airwaves.
In addition, it was produced in Hollywood and had a strong promotional campaign.
"What the hell!"
Wang Zhonglei slammed the mouse in his hand to the ground, his eyes brimming with anger.
"Xiao Lei, calm down."
Seeing his older brother's scolding, Wang Zhonglei was indeed getting angry.
To know.
They were quite confident in this film, and undoubtedly made comprehensive preparations and investments before its release.
However, despite all the planning, they didn't expect it to clash with Chen Jin's "Hong Kong Trip".
Every time I confront Chen Jin, nothing good ever comes of it.
Especially now that his influence is so great, his personal popularity has long occupied the top spot in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Hollywood broke in with ease.
Given his current influence, other works that are affected by his actions will inevitably be impacted.
"We have put so much effort into 'Detective Dee,' and the film's pure production cost has reached 1.5 million yuan."
"If we really lose to 'Hong Kong Tour,' wouldn't we become a laughing stock?"
It's far more than 1.5 million.
The advertising and marketing expenses alone have exceeded 2 million.
It is also the first Chinese-language underwater 3D film.
As for "Hong Kong Trip," a film shot on a train, it doesn't have many large-scale scenes overall.
Aside from the relatively high profile of a few actors, there's absolutely nothing appealing about it.
Even the production cost was only around 6000 million.
It's absolutely far inferior to their big-budget production.
"Just an ordinary person."
"It's impossible for every film to achieve top box office success."
Wang Zhongjun looked out the window.
It's good that young people are ambitious, but they still need to have the corresponding strength to maintain that ambition.
If we blindly forge ahead...
You never know when you might get yourself into trouble.
In Wang Zhongjun's view, even the most intelligent person cannot have a smooth journey.
In the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune, power shifts occur every day.
"It's just a horror movie. We'll see how it goes on the day it's released."
Wang Zhonglei calmed down a bit, and his facial expression finally returned to normal.
Perhaps because he had been suppressed by Chen Jin for too long, his current state and mood were somewhat distorted.
But thinking about it, there's really nothing to be too afraid of.
In terms of both production and plot, "Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" is definitely superior to "Hong Kong Trip".
only--
With both Huayi Brothers and CETC's productions scheduled for release simultaneously, the resulting buzz in the entertainment industry is naturally considerable. Since CETC's meteoric rise, comparisons between the two companies have become increasingly intense.
especially.
Despite being a leading enterprise, Huayi's products have been consistently surpassed by CETC in the past two years.
Not only that.
Whether it's box office revenue or influence, the difference is significant.
In such cases, every time the works of the two companies are released at the same time, it becomes a topic of conversation among industry insiders and media reporters.
Even more so this time.
Compared to the fact that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" lost to "Grandma's Grandson," which has been criticized since the beginning of the year, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" clearly falls short of "Grandma's Grandson" in terms of its excessive technical skill and sincerity.
The comparison between the two works has once again sparked online discussions.
"Huayi has fielded a top-tier lineup this time; if they lose—"
"That would be embarrassing."
"It's alright. The previous 'Detective Dee' series did quite well. This type of series is still quite popular."
"I prefer Bale, Jackie Chan, and Chen Jin."
The friends were all talking at once.
It's worth noting that before "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" was a box office and critical success.
To be precise, with a good start, subsequent works naturally laid a solid market foundation.
Simultaneously.
When Huayi Brothers announced the release of "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" before the Lunar New Year, they had already begun a large-scale advertising campaign for the film.
Especially the clash between popular actors and seasoned performers.
When the release date was first announced, it certainly attracted close attention and anticipation from the entire internet.
This time, it's going against Chen Jin's "A Trip to Hong Kong".
The outcome certainly needs to be reorganized.
As for Chen Jin, the announcement of the release date for "Hong Kong Trip" indeed generated a great deal of buzz online.
However, with the popularity of "Hong Kong Trip", netizens began to compare the two works, "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon".
Zhu Yanmanzi couldn't help but frown.
Although it is clear that this is unavoidable, after all, no matter what kind of work it is, it will basically be the subject of heated discussion when it is released in the same period.
This is already commonplace in the industry.
"Unreasonable."
Faced with Zhu Yanmanz's indignation, Chen Jin felt somewhat amused and exasperated.
For both works, normally the focus should be on the creation of each character.
Instead of blindly praising the weak and criticizing the strong.
However, comparison leads to improvement.
Chen Jin was already used to it.
The film "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" achieved impressive results upon its release.
Controversy isn't necessarily a bad thing; only when everyone is discussing it will there be a lot of buzz.
The most dangerous thing is probably a work that has no one to discuss it.
As for Zhu Yanmanzi...
During this period, we have already begun preparations for the filming of "My Old Classmate".
Today's event is the pre-filming reading session, a fundamental procedure for every film before its release.
It is also one of the most crucial creative processes.
In this process, we can identify each person's biggest problem and address it one by one.
The process of refining the script also allows for mutual understanding and getting to know each other beforehand.
Chen Jin changed his clothes. Zhu Yanmanzi was usually by his side, but this time she finally gave him a chance to shine.
"Let's go."
The two drove towards the power company.
A large space is not required for a group reading; a small office is sufficient.
In addition, since "My Old Classmate" didn't have many actors, Chen Jin and her team decided to place the film in the Department of Electrical Engineering.
When they arrived, Guo Fan had already been waiting for a long time.
The script for "The Martian" gave him tremendous motivation, and now he can't wait to finish his work as soon as possible.
Ding--
As the elevator doors opened, the two walked straight toward the office.
Everyone has arrived.
The moment Chen Jin appeared, everyone present stood up.
"Brother Jin."
Lin Gengxin was the first to stand up. Seeing the person in front of him who was not much older than him but was extremely popular in the international market, Lin Gengxin naturally respected him.
Guo Fan looked up after hearing the sound.
"Mr. Chen, you're late!"
Guo Fan hadn't expected Chen Jin to come along, since script readings are relatively tedious.
but--
Having Chen Jin here is a good thing, since he can offer more guidance.
Putting everything else aside, when it comes to acting skills, if Chen Jin dares to say she's number one, there really isn't a young actor who dares to say he's number two.
The others present also stood up to greet them.
Besides Zhu Yanmanzi, Lin Gengxin is probably the only other actor in this drama who is somewhat famous.
As for the others, they are basically ordinary people or people who have appeared on various variety shows.
Seeing Chen Jin here was incredibly exciting for them.
Sui Kai approached Chen Jin, his face beaming with a wide smile.
"Brother Jin, I like you so much."
"Fast & Furious 6 was so cool a while ago."
Seeing Sui Kai's enthusiasm, Zhu Yanmanzi couldn't help but cover her face and laugh.
Most people present treated Chen Jin with respect. Compared to these unknown figures in the entertainment industry, Chen Jin was a top-tier superstar.
Zhang Zifeng stood to one side, a sweet smile on her face.
"Brother Chen Jin".
Only after noticing Chen Jin looking over did he speak up and greet her.
Chen Jin nodded.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to begin."
In short, we can't let our work be delayed.
The group found seats and sat down. With Chen Jin, her boyfriend, by her side, Lin Gengxin was a little nervous.
Even though it's just acting.
Before this, Lin Gengxin was wondering why Chen Jin didn't film this project with Zhu Yanmanzi.
Thinking about it later, the answer naturally came to mind.
Aside from blockbuster films, Chen Jin seems to never take on low-budget movies.
Especially in matters of love and romance, Chen Jin is rarely seen engaging in such activities.
This clearly demonstrates sufficient confidence and strength, which makes Lin Gengxin somewhat admire and envy it.
The two of them were not much different in age, and Lin Gengxin was even a little older.
However, the results achieved were vastly different.
The script was in front of Chen Jin. After all, it was a work by the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, and it was starring his girlfriend, so he definitely had to take it seriously.
He is confident in Zhu Yanmanzi's acting skills.
Zhu Yanmanzi perfectly captures Zhou Xiaozhi's stubbornness and brokenness.
Guo Fan got into work mode.
They had to go through the entire movie from beginning to end to figure out where the big problems were.
"Little Zifeng, let's start with you."
Everyone was on high alert, and the atmosphere in the entire office instantly became tense—
