Chapter 536, National Day Release, Pre-sales Begin!
"Filming should wrap up in about a month!"
“I will try my best to schedule your scenes earlier so as not to delay your sweet trip to North America with Brother Jin.”
Zhou Yi looked at Zhu Yanmanzi in front of him.
When she mentioned wanting to finish the scene as soon as possible, one could guess her ulterior motives.
This young couple has always been inseparable.
While Chen Jin was filming "Dallas Buyers Club", Zhu Yanmanz was almost always in North America.
As for now.
The scenes they were filming were of the male and female leads after they grew up, depicting their work and life, so they moved to Beijing some time ago.
Fortunately, Chen Jin was busy with the release of "Hong Kong Trip" during this period and did not have time to come to the film crew.
Lin Gengxin can finally settle down and focus on filming.
Zhu Yanmanz nodded, and after receiving Zhou Yi's definite answer, she took the script in her hand and walked to the side.
Chen Jin was not present today, nor was Guo Fan.
To be precise, they were basically unable to be present during this period of filming.
For more than half a month, Chen Jin was handling the pre-sales for "Hong Kong Trip".
Online anticipation for this movie is at its peak.
The fierce competition during this National Day holiday has clearly ignited the audience's desire for a spectacle.
As for Guo Fan...
The primary task at present is to plan "The Martian" while also taking care of the preparations for "The Wandering Earth".
Compared to Chen Jin, the pressure is greater.
at the same time.
Electronics Technology.
Chen Jin has finished her work.
With Chen Su around, most things only require Chen Jin to nod his head.
Think so.
Chen Jin glanced at the time; Zhu Yanmanzi had another night shoot that evening, and it was almost over.
After explaining some things to Chen Su, he drove to the filming location of "My Old Classmate".
Zhu Yanmanzi had just finished filming a night scene and was completely exhausted.
"Zizi, be careful on your way back."
The other members of the production crew greeted Zhu Yanmanzi.
Just then, cheers erupted from the film crew's location, mixed with the actors' banter.
When Zhu Yanmanzi looked up, her eyes met Chen Jin's.
The man was holding a bouquet of flowers.
It's clear that she was carefully chosen, and she's slowly walking towards Zhu Yanmanzi's position.
In fact, the entire crew was already used to it.
Chen Jin's love was undoubtedly passionate. Whenever she couldn't accompany Zhu Yanmanzi to film, she would always bring gifts when she came to pick her up.
Upon seeing Chen Jin's appearance, Zhu Yanmanzi's previous fatigue seemed to vanish instantly.
She ran quickly toward the person in front of her, her smile becoming exceptionally bright.
The other actresses in the same drama cast all turned their attention to where Zhu Yanmanzi was.
To say that I am not envious is a lie.
At the same age as everyone else, Zhu Yanmanzi can be said to have achieved success in both her career and love life.
She has a boyfriend who loves her very much and is able to pave the way for her career.
No one could ignore it.
"Why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be handling work?"
"I can go back by myself."
Zhu Yanmanzi accepted the flowers from Chen Jin, lowered her head to sniff them, and a sweet fragrance wafted into her nostrils.
"It's been dealt with."
Zhou Yi circled around behind the two of them; this young couple was practically showing off to everyone.
Chen Jin greeted everyone present, then put her arm around Zhu Yanmanz's shoulder and left the film set.
"Will the pre-sale channel for 'A Trip to Hong Kong' open tomorrow?"
Zhu Yanmanzi gently stroked the flowers in front of her, filling the small space of the car with an intense fragrance.
"Ah."
"We've been building hype for over a month now, and this time—"
"By opening the pre-sale channel, we can make a priority estimate of the results we can achieve."
Zhu Yanmanz nodded.
Even when Chen Jin isn't filming, she still has a lot of things to take care of.
There was absolutely no free time.
"Thank you~"
Zhu Yanmanzi looked at Chen Jin in front of her, her heartache particularly evident in her eyes.
This scene left Chen Jin somewhat amused and exasperated, and she casually ruffled the hair of the person in front of her.
Compared to Zhu Yanmanz, he has been quite relaxed these past two days.
Aside from nodding in agreement, Chen Su basically didn't need him to do anything.
"Let's go home and eat Mom's cooking."
The two drove towards the villa area, as they had agreed to do that day: to go to Chen Jin's house together and have dinner with her parents.
……
2013 9 Month 24 Day.
Cinemas across the country have successively opened pre-sale channels for "Hong Kong Trip".
At this moment, the anticipation everyone has for this movie is beyond words.
The trailer recently released by CETC is enough to demonstrate the strength of this film.
While providing a strong visual and sensory experience, it also allows one to feel the collective anxiety and contradictions of society.
When these things come together, they undoubtedly create a mirror reflecting human nature.
Everyone.
All of this is unavoidable.
Perhaps the hype from a while ago had an effect, because the internet has been flooded with news and messages these past few days.
Media reporters also used this work to report on it and write news articles.
at the same time.
Huayi Brothers General Manager's Office.
Wang Zhonglei was scrolling through online news, his expression turning extremely depressed.
The entire internet is buzzing about "A Trip to Hong Kong".
In contrast, "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" is rarely mentioned.
Both films were released during the National Day holiday, and the current situation clearly shows that the film has been completely overshadowed by "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon".
"Idiots! A bunch of idiots."
present.
The marketing directors and distribution managers sitting in front of Wang Zhonglei fell silent.
Seeing their company's boss lose his temper, they certainly wouldn't dare to say a word.
To avoid getting burned, they could only silently endure the bloodshed before them.
Are you all just sitting around doing nothing?
"What's the point of the company employing you? You can't even beat a low-budget film."
Wang Zhonglei's voice echoed throughout the office, a testament to his current anger.
"Xiao Lei".
"This has nothing to do with their work."
Wang Zhongjun's words quelled Wang Zhonglei's anger. The current state of affairs did not conflict with their propaganda.
It can only be said that the timing, location, and people were all in sync, but "A Trip to Hong Kong" took advantage of that.
Seeing that their boss was actually speaking up for them, many of the people present were moved to tears.
"You guys go down first."
After Wang Zhongjun spoke, Wang Zhonglei naturally didn't say anything more.
However, his emotions are still somewhat unstable.
"Now—" "I don't care what methods you use, before the release of 'Detective Dee' on National Day, you must raise its popularity above that of 'Hong Kong Trip'."
Upon hearing Wang Zhonglei's words, everyone present could only nod in agreement.
Actually.
Whether or not this can be done is not a definite answer for them.
After all, the power of "Hong Kong Trip" was too great at the moment, and it attacked with lightning speed.
Given Chen Jin's current popularity, even with an all-star cast, "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" cannot compete with Cheng Long and Bale.
"Brother, I told you we should have made our move as soon as possible."
"The current situation is quite unfavorable for us."
Wang Zhonglei gritted his teeth as he looked at the news on the webpage. Some people had even started to criticize and praise the weaker films, implying that the box office of "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" would not be able to beat "Hong Kong Trip" in a day.
What's the point of starting early?
“We started promoting it last year, but we still can’t match the results of someone else’s month-long pre-launch campaign.”
Upon hearing Wang Zhongjun's words, Wang Zhonglei's expression turned completely helpless.
He's right.
No matter how hard they try, they can't catch up with those who are exceptionally talented.
Chen Jin has received all the good fortune, winning both Best Actor awards and box office success.
"The most important thing for the National Day holiday season is an entertainment experience without any burden."
"Now that we finally have a seven-day holiday, people probably won't be watching any tragic works."
what--
Wang Zhonglei looked up at Wang Zhongjun in front of him.
She seemed to be wondering to herself why her older brother would suddenly say that.
After a moment of thought, a response finally came to mind.
Indeed, the two works, "Detective Dee" and "Hong Kong Trip", are different in terms of viewing experience.
"Detective Dee" promotes wisdom in breaking through difficulties and protecting the homeland, while "Hong Kong Trip" exposes human selfishness and sacrifice.
Perhaps the film's quality is acceptable.
However, it is only suitable for audiences who seek deep thinking, rather than for holiday relaxation.
Perhaps they can find an opportunity in this area to promote the idea that "Detective Dee" is suitable for family viewing.
Wang Zhonglei seemed to be in a much better mood.
His brother was right. The most important thing about the National Day film season is its entertainment value; no one wants to choose something with a heavy theme.
If more effort is put into this aspect, I don't believe "A Trip to Hong Kong" can maintain its popularity.
Chen Jin got up early this morning. The first day of pre-sales for "Hong Kong Trip" is quite anticipated.
Industry insiders are also focusing their attention on "A Trip to Hong Kong".
Combined with her performance in "Fast & Furious 6," Chen Jin's talent is truly undeniable.
Especially now.
"Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" can be described as a big-budget production, high-quality film, and star-studded cast.
As a result, in recent promotional efforts, it has been far from being able to compete with "Hong Kong Trip".
The overwhelming press releases seemed to have already determined the fate of the two works.
Many people are waiting to see how the results will unfold.
In this battle between the two, who will ultimately emerge victorious?
So much so.
This ending left many people feeling somewhat regretful.
When gods fight, those who are quite strong but somewhat mediocre in comparison, yet still want to secure a place for themselves, are the ones who suffer the most.
For example, "Out of Inferno" and "Silent Witness" were released at the same time.
With the addition of disastrous 3D blockbusters and domestic suspense films, their presence has clearly been squeezed out by the double boost from "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" and "Hong Kong Trip".
All of a sudden.
Both directors were quite frustrated.
However, since things have come to this point, there's definitely no way to change the schedule.
now.
Domestic cinemas have all opened pre-sale channels at the same time.
Everyone is waiting for today's results, and the news is already spreading like wildfire online.
This undoubtedly increases the chances of success for "A Trip to Hong Kong".
[Pre-sales for "Hong Kong Tour" begin; zombie hordes impact National Day box office—what will be the outcome?]

[Tickets are available for pre-sale across the country, and queues are overflowing!]
【…】
In an instant, the entire internet was engulfed in controversy.
Netizens have already focused their attention on these movies.
"Diversification of genres is a good thing; this time we can choose the best films to watch."
"I am quite supportive of 'Hong Kong Trip,' as I am a big fan of zombie movies."
"Personally, I think 'Detective Dee' is better. Who wants to watch horror or serious films during holidays?"
"We must support Brother Jin!"
Everyone was talking about it.
Most of the discussion focused on "A Trip to Hong Kong" and "Detective Dee".
However, whether it's just netizens' imagination or not, a bunch of comments suddenly started appearing online.
Most of the comments were criticizing the film "Hong Kong Trip" for not being released during the National Day holiday.
Even if you're going to watch a movie, it should be enjoyable and fun.
Perhaps it's because these kinds of incidents are happening more and more frequently that many people are starting to pay extra attention.
Zhu Yanmanzi had already finished her morning scenes.
She couldn't wait to take out her phone; she wanted to see what people were saying about the incident online.
Today marks the start of pre-sales for "Hong Kong Tour". Although the final results won't be known until tomorrow, we can't help but pay attention to some of the online discussions.
Fortunately.
Discussion generates buzz.
Zhu Yanmanz was focused on the content on her phone and didn't notice anyone appearing behind her.
The light in front of her was suddenly blocked, and Zhu Yanmanz subconsciously tried to pull the hand on her eyes down, but then she realized what was happening.
"Husband~"
Upon hearing Zhu Yanmanz's voice, Chen Jin finally released her grip.
"You guessed it so easily?"
Zhu Yanmanz smiled; the two of them had been together for so many years.
They knew every part of Chen Jin's body like the back of their hand.
"look--"
Holding up her phone, Chen Jin noticed that Zhu Yanmanz was reading a related news report.
This is a scene from the pre-sale of "A Trip to Hong Kong".
Many people were queuing up to buy tickets, clearly showing great anticipation for the movie.
"It seems to be gaining popularity."
After saying this, Zhu Yanmanzi's face showed a slight expression.
She then realized that Chen Jin, who should have been handling the pre-sales of "Hong Kong Trip", was actually on set.
"What brings you here today? Shouldn't you be at the office?"
Upon hearing Zhu Yanmanz's words, Chen Jin subconsciously laughed.
"As an investor in 'My Old Classmate,' I definitely have to come and supervise the filming process."
The others present laughed; they were already used to Chen Jin's appearance.
Having such a big name in the entertainment industry here is undoubtedly an honor for their production team.
"Brother Jin, I wish 'Hong Kong Trip' a huge box office success!"
Sui Kai gave Chen Jin a thumbs up, and the others began to offer their own compliments.
They all saw the news online today.
A film with a production cost of tens of millions of yuan completely crushed "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," which had an investment of 200 million yuan.
It's unbelievable!
