"Be careful on the road, remember to send text messages when you get off the plane"
After the transfer of the call for love was finished, it was almost the Chinese New Year. Tong Lia naturally wanted to go back to reunite with her family. Zhou Xing sent her to board the plane, and kept telling her along the way.
Tong Lia remained silent all the time, and only blinked mischievously at the terminal: "Okay, old Zhou, if you keep talking, I won't be able to catch the plane."
"Ahem." Zhou Xing was a little embarrassed: "Aren't we all sure of our relationship? Can we change our name?"
"That won't work, who made you an old cow eat young grass." Tong Lia smiled like a little fox who stole a chicken.
"I..." Zhou Xing lamented from the bottom of his heart, gritted his teeth and endured the evil he had done.
However, just when he was full of remorse, Tong Lia suddenly came over, tapped his lips lightly, then fled away with a smile on his suitcase, and arrived at the security check area in the blink of an eye.
"This girl..." Zhou Xing looked at her disappearing back, wiped off the remaining lip marks on his lips, shook his head and smiled lightly: "It seems that I will bring some high-quality lipstick when I go to Xiangjiang this time."
After sending Tong Lia away, Zhou Xing also started to get busy. "Love Call Transfer" is already in post-production, and the publicity matter will naturally be put on the motion. Zheng's box office appeal is still almost meaningless.
"System." Zhou Xing silently opened the system interface, entered two keywords in the music section: love and transfer, and then two songs appeared. After listening to it, I found that these two songs were actually the same song.
Moreover, the Cantonese version [Under Mount Fuji] seems to have been released last year, Zhou Xing thought about it and exchanged the Mandarin version.
"Sister Anli, who owns the copyright of [Under Mount Fuji]? Please contact me. I want to re-fill the lyrics in the Mandarin version of this song and use it as the theme song of [Love Call Transfer]."
Anli's eyes lit up, and she teased, "If I hadn't heard you say that, I would have almost forgotten that you can still write songs. It's been so many years. I'm really worried for your fans."
"Go, stop talking sarcastic. When have I been free in the past few years? How can I have time to release records?" Zhou Xing said angrily.
Anli's work efficiency is still very high. After three days, he got the authorization of "Under Mount Fuji". He also invited musicians from Warner Records to re-arrange the song according to the lyrics provided by Zhou Xing.
The Chinese music scene in 06 can be said to be full of flowers. All the singers seem to have gathered their strength this year. There are powerful singers and new generation idols. Perhaps this is the best era for the Chinese music scene.
This year, Angela Chang reached her peak with the song "Invisible Wings", which was included in the album "Pandora", and the sales of the album exceeded 300 million.
In the same year, a band named Sodagreen quickly gained a place in the Chinese music scene with a song "Little Love Song", and their lead singer Wu Qingfeng was also well known by fans because of his unique voice.
This year, Fei Yuqing, who was asked to sing "Yijianmei" wherever he went to commercial performances, can finally replace this old song that has been sung for more than ten years. It reached the top ten of the major music charts.
In the face of so many classic songs, Zhou Xing's "Love Transfer" is actually not very dazzling, and because Zhou Xing has not appeared in the Chinese music scene for a long time, it did not attract too much attention from fans.
"Why don't we play the rankings?" Anli was a little unwilling.
The so-called charting is actually to put it bluntly, it is public relations + buying data. Unless it is at the level of Jay Chou, basically other singers need to be on the charts when they release records. Some so-called music charts have clearly used this as a sale.
Zhou Xingwen waved his hands again and again: "Let's forget it, a lot of money has already been paid for the recording of this song, it would be more straightforward to just use the money from the charts to promote it."
"Well, since you don't care, let's do it like this." Anli has not only spoken Mandarin better and better over the years in the capital, but even her accent has changed. Many people in the circle even think that she is from the mainland.
This is the reality. Many things will not necessarily have results if you do them.
"By the way, I'm going to participate in the disciple's promotion soon. Is the date of [Love Call Transfer] fixed?" The disciple's promotion is not easy at all, and he has to travel to two places every week. Er Dongsheng still cares about the Xiangjiang market .
"Well, it will be released on February 2, the day before Valentine's Day."
This is also the data obtained through survey companies. In recent years, with Huaxia’s accession to the WTO, the Huaxia market has gradually opened up to overseas capital, and more and more foreign festivals have begun to affect young people. Tell people about Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and they will probably be considered crazy.
However, in less than ten years, sending flowers, gifts and chocolates on Valentine's Day has become the most normal love behavior in the eyes of contemporary young people.
[Love Call Transfer] The selected release time is actually quite a gimmick. On Valentine’s Day, young men and women take to the streets, eating and watching movies seem to have become standard, and love movies will naturally become the first choice.
However, what Zhou Xing didn't expect was that Er Dongsheng also took a fancy to this day, and "Disciple" was also scheduled to be released on February 2th.
"What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with this schedule?" Er Dongsheng couldn't help asking when he saw Zhou Xing's expression was different.
Zhou Xing did not hide it either.
After hearing this, Er Dongsheng joked: "How is it? There is still time to withdraw the file."
"Brother Sheng, you should worry about yourself. Anyway, this is a low-budget movie, and if it can earn 2000 million at the box office, it will be able to protect its capital. [Disciple] is different. Or, why don't you withdraw the file? Be careful not to overturn in the gutter." Zhou Xing shot back.
"Cut, I'm just kidding. Let's see who gets the last laugh based on our own strength." Er Dongsheng still had great confidence in the "disciple".
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "How about a bet?"
"Okay, how to bet?"
"The box office is definitely incomparable. Why don't we see who saves first? How about just betting on a good bottle of wine?" Zhou Xing looked confident.
Er Dongsheng scolded with a smile: "Okay, you are a slicker, but I accept this bet, so you should prepare the bar, and then I will let you try something new at the celebration banquet. The wine won by this bet is the best. OK."
"Then I'm not so generous. I'll take it back and hide it when the time comes. I'll take it out and drink it when there is a happy event." Zhou Xing replied.
"Cut, be stingy."
The two smiled at each other.
On February 2th, the day before Valentine’s Day, [Disciple] and [Love Call Transfer] were released on the same day, but the treatment was very different. The filming volume of [Disciple] reached 13%, while the filming of [Love Call Transfer] The volume is only 43%, and this is still in the case of not many films released at the end of the Lunar New Year file.
Compared with the publicity campaign of [Disciple] famous director + big-name star, [Love Call Transfer] is very inconspicuous in the films released at the same time. In this era, the box office appeal of female stars is still not comparable to that of male stars, not to mention Fan Bingbing and the others are far from being able to compare with Zhou Xing and Wu Yaozu.
The premiere of "The Disciple" officially started, Zhou Xing sat next to Er Dongsheng, but he was thinking about the other side. After all, "The Disciple" is just a part-time job, and no matter how high the box office is, it has nothing to do with him, and "Love Call" Transfer] is not only his full investment, but also the first film after the establishment of "Zhixing Film and Television". If this step is taken well, the road ahead will be much easier. A joke in the circle.
The derogatory terms such as "overthinking one's abilities" and "self-righteousness" will all be attached to Zhou Xing. This is the entertainment industry, where winners and losers have always been like this.
"Don't be so nervous, it's just a bottle of wine." Er Dongsheng comforted with a smile.
Zhou Xing looked up at the big screen: "That's right, it's just a bottle of wine."
After the opening animation, the screen changed and the film officially started. Wu Yaozu sat on the sofa and fell into memory, leading to the story. The mainland version and the Xiangjiang version were actually filmed separately. In the Hong Kong version, Ali was wearing a police uniform, while the mainland version this The casual clothes worn by the lens Ali.
The reason for this is that after Ali resumed his status as a policeman, he also suffered from psychological problems.
His line: Is it the drugs that are terrible, or the emptiness that is terrible, and even the idea of trying drugs, but was stopped by the little girl.
In fact, Zhou Xing was also very surprised that this kind of scene was able to pass the review. After all, public officials cannot do bad things, which is the unspoken rule of film review in the Mainland, let alone trying drugs?
The camera editing of "Disciple" follows the obvious Er Dongsheng style, fast and neat, and in just a few minutes of footage, it clearly shows how Ali manipulates the process of drug dealers to stock up.
Later, Ali's undercover identity was revealed, but since "Infernal Affairs", this kind of undercover plot has become too common, and it is not really novel.
Zhou Xing's appearance in the hospital also let the audience know at a glance that he is Ali's undercover drug lord, but it is A Fen played by Zhang Jingchu who really catches the audience's eyes. The role of Fern is her pinnacle.
Especially the passionate scene between her and Ali, many male audiences at the scene swallowed subconsciously.
Later, the big drug lord played by Zhou Xing was randomly asked by Ali: What about the white fans?
Zhou Xing turned to look at him, Ali asked: Why do people take drugs?
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Business is all about supply and demand. If someone buys it, someone will sell it. Smoking can cause cancer. Does anyone smoke? Have I done any publicity? I haven't."
"It's not that I forced them. I didn't force them. What's none of my business? It's all their own fault."
The film was screened simultaneously in Xiangjiang, and many film critics were full of praise for Zhou Xing's performance.
Brother Kun naturally knows what an addict looks like, that's why he warned Ali not to believe those addicts. self-hypnosis, because only in this way can he bear the condemnation of conscience.
A lie told [-] times is the truth, but a lie is always a lie, Brother Kun knows it very well, that's why his reaction is so big.
And Zhou Xing's performance vividly showed Brother Kun's process from self-hypnosis, to guilty conscience, and then to anger from embarrassment.
"This performance deserves an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor!"
