Chapter 136 is finalized.
At the beginning of the release of "The Promise", "Huo Yuanjia" finally completed the arduous filming. During the period, not only Zhou Xing, the lead actor, was injured several times, even Obi Yin, who played the role of the American Hercules, was also injured due to lack of time during filming. Shen fell and lost two teeth, and the others were more or less wounded.
On the day of wrapping up, the entire crew was filled with a kind of feeling: in the joy of being finally freed, Sun Li even wept with joy. When filming a scene in the paddy field, she found that there were leeches in the paddy field. She was so scared that she almost cried. Rentai applied for protective measures, but he scolded him back.
Xiong Xinxin was also filled with emotions. Before, he dreamed of becoming a kung fu movie martial arts instructor, in his own name, not in the name of Liu Jiaban. Now, this goal has been achieved, and then?
When people have never seen the outside world, they may not have so many thoughts. Once the door is opened, it can no longer be closed.
On the night of the finale banquet, Xiong Xinxin drank a lot and refused to refuse anyone who came. The martial artists under him thought he was happy, so they toasted him in various ways.
Zhou Xing found something was wrong, and quickly helped him back to the room, otherwise he would have to drink until his stomach vomited blood.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Zhou Xinggang put him on the sofa and turned around to pour water for him.
Xiong Xinxin hugged the trash can and vomited, pretending to be okay while throwing up: "It's okay, what can I do? Just, I'm just happy."
"I'm happy~~~" As he spoke, the tough man actually shed tears.
Zhou Xing handed him hot water, patted his shoulder and sighed without saying a word.
"Master Liu treated me well. When I first arrived in Xiangjiang, I didn't know the place where I was born. Not only did I get looked down upon, but I also had to pay protection fees to Da Wuxing. It was Master Liu who accepted me into the Liu family class and cultivated me all the way."
A man's collapse often happens in an instant, and Xiong Xinxin knows that he can't go back.
"Actually, you should talk to Martial Uncle Liu, he is not a stingy person, and he definitely hopes to see you have a good future." Zhou Xing comforted.
"Ah Xing, I know, I know, as long as I open my mouth, Master Liu will definitely make it happen, but, I hate myself for being worthless. I used to think that I was a man who valued love and righteousness over small profits, but in fact, I just I wasn’t tempted enough before, I’m just a villain through and through!”
Xiong Xinxin struggled to stand up, but fell to the ground, and then, then passed out completely drunk, and kept chanting: villain.
Zhou Xing was a little dumbfounded, but also a little emotional. There are not many people like Xiong Xinxin this year. Let alone the kindness of knowing you, so what if it is the kindness of saving your life?It is said that tradition is "dross", but similar "dross" has been lost. Is there any hope for the Chinese nation?
A few days later, Zhou Xing and Xiong Xinxin left the film crew and bid farewell at the airport. Xiong Xinxin took people to Xiangjiang, but Zhou Xing did not return to the capital, but flew to Pengcheng.
Since the first mobile phone, the Motorola 1987, entered the mainland market in 3200, it has been growing at a rate of several times or even tens of times every year. However, such a huge market was always occupied by Japanese companies in the early days.
Until the last two years, domestic mobile phone brands gradually began to gain a certain share in the market, among which a company named "Gionee" from Pengcheng is one of them.
In fact, the "Gionee" publicity department is very fond of Zhou Xing's influence, and has been wanting him to be the spokesperson of Gionee mobile phones since last year, but the price they offered was not enough to make Anli's heart move, so they never signed a contract.
Over the years, with Zhou Xing's increasing influence in the mainland, it is not too much to talk about advertising endorsements, but Anli has always been very restrained when it comes to accepting endorsements, and the cooperation is with some well-known international brands.
If it weren't for Gionee's sincerity, and at the same time raising the endorsement fee to 3 million in three years, there would be no Zhou Xing's trip to Pengcheng.
Well, the main reason is that they pay more. In fact, the price of Zhouxing to pick up some international brands is generally about 1000 million a year. However, the marketing, planning and advertising investment of international brands are higher than that of domestic brands, which affects the image of Zhouxing itself. There are also improvements, and the two parties belong to a mutually beneficial relationship.
Domestic brands do not have these added values, so they can only spend money on them.
"Are you okay?" Anli has already negotiated all the conditions for Zhou Xing in Pengcheng. He only needs to sign the contract and shoot a few advertisements. After that, he will do some promotional activities with Gionee mobile phones.
"What can I do?" Zhou Xing's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously looked at the little assistant, who fled the dressing room in a flash.
Anli stared at him, and said angrily, "You still want to hide such a serious injury from me."
"Hey, Miss Anli, don't listen to Xiaomei's nonsense, it's just a skin injury, it's fine."
Seeing Zhou Xing's shameless appearance, Anli sighed: "You, what can I say? Being an actor is just a profession, and you earn a living. Why are you so risking your life?"
"Sister Anli, you may not like to hear what I say. If you want to talk about making money, the money I make now is enough to spend a lifetime. However, one must pursue something when one is alive? Otherwise, why did you come to the mainland with me? What about it?" Zhou Xing said seriously.
Yes, she is also a troublemaker, otherwise she would not have come to the mainland with Zhou Xing when the situation was not yet clear. Apart from Xiangjiang, the pension is quite suitable.
"You, I can't say no to you, let's do it. In short, you can handle it yourself. You don't want to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair at a young age, do you?" Anli sighed, knowing that Zhou Xing couldn't be persuaded, so she could only A few words of advice.
"Sister Anli, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." In Zhou Xing's heart, Anli is no longer a simple manager. After so many years of ups and downs together, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a real sister.
"Sister Anli, boss, I just bought milk tea, it's delicious."
As soon as the chat was over, Xiaomei poked her head in.
"Okay, you little traitor"
"Oh, sister Anli, help, it hurts~~~"
After laughing, the staff of the advertising company came to invite: "Mr. Zhou, everything is ready outside, hello."
Anli and the little assistant tidied up Zhou Xing's suit again, and then nodded until they ensured that there were no flaws, indicating that the filming could start.
"Mr. Zhou, you can walk over here later, and then come here and sign this person." The director of the advertising company rushed over. With Zhou Xing's current status, he can shoot commercials for him. , In the future, you don't have to talk about those second- and third-tier starlets anymore.
Gionee’s advertisement is also very simple. Zhou walked on the stage, signed an autograph for a fan in the middle of the walk, and finally turned around, forming a triangle with his hands, and uttered the slogan: "Gionee mobile phone, gold quality, stand in the world."
The filming went smoothly, but the advertising company had prepared several sets of advertising proposals, and it was three days after all the filming was finished. Gionee even gave Zhou Xing a mobile phone when he left.
Of course, this must be collected, not only collected, but also carried with you. Otherwise, you are advertising Gionee here, and then the media photographed using Motorola to make a phone call. What do the audience think?What do manufacturers think?
Reasonably speaking, Gionee's mobile phone design is really nothing special, and the body is also very thick, with a large battery and a large speaker, which is still in line with the needs of the current Chinese people.
However, to be reasonable, this mobile phone does not quite meet Zhou Xing's aesthetics, but who asked them to give more?
Back in the capital, Zhou Xing's original Motorola was accepted by Zhou Lan without hesitation.
"You're going to take the college entrance examination in half a year, don't just play around all day long." Zhou Xing felt a headache when he thought of this girl's grades.
Zhou Lan fainted when she heard this, and wanted to run away, but Zhou Xing grabbed her.
"Don't run away, this year's Chinese New Year, I don't think I have time to come back. Are you planning to celebrate the New Year in the capital, or go back to your hometown?"
Zhou Lan blurted out almost subconsciously: "Of course I'm celebrating the New Year here."
"Hey, you little heartless one, even if you don't want E-Mu to love you so much, you should go back and see him during Chinese New Year, right?" Zhou Xing gave Zhou Lan a hard look.
Zhou Lan gave Zhou Xing a helpless look, and muttered, "Hmph, I knew it was like this, and you still pretended to let me choose."
"What are you mumbling about?"
"Ahem, it's nothing, then what, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go to review first."
"Go."
In fact, Zhou Xing returned to the capital to rest for less than a week, and he was about to start the pre-publicity for [Huo Yuanjia].
The post-production of [Huo Yuanjia] was relatively simple, and it was basically done in ten days. What Zhou Xing didn't expect was that Yu Rentai actually compressed the film duration to 101 minutes in order to maximize the filming volume.
For this reason, Michelle Yeoh's cameo role was even cut out. I guess Michelle Yeoh couldn't laugh or cry when she knew about it.
Otherwise, like Master Xing and Luo Jiaying, they might turn against each other.
Zhou Xing watched the 101-minute version. Fortunately, Yu Rentai compressed the part of Huo Yuanjia's youth to less than 5 minutes. The other parts did not move too much, and the overall rhythm was not damaged.
The response from the theater managers who came to watch the film was also good. "Fearless" is finally set to be released on January 1, stepping on the tail of the Lunar New Year file.
After the file is finalized, Zhou Xing's itinerary is even more full. In the past, when doing publicity, the publisher had to consider other actors to some extent, and "Huo Yuanjia" is almost a one-man show for Zhou Xing, so the publisher naturally has to put all All resources are spent on him.
In Kung Fu movies, audiences can accept such a relatively simple story structure only if the protagonist stands upright, otherwise, everything is empty talk.
Zhou Xing was not originally a kung fu actor, but fortunately, he had a very good performance in "Seven Swords", and in the publicity before the release of "Seven Swords", he did not make a fuss about his real kung fu.
Therefore, the audience's acceptance of Zhou Xing's appearance in kung fu movies is quite high.
