Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 555 Released

Although New Line secured 800 screens for "The Fast and the Furious" in the United States.

But considering that "The Fast and the Furious" is produced in Hong Kong, all the actors are yellow.

Therefore, the 800-screen theater that New Line strives for is also very sophisticated.

Most of these theaters are located near Chinatowns in major cities in the United States, as well as areas with a large number of Chinese immigrants.

Not only the theaters where it is shown, but also when promoting this movie, the main promotional resources are tilted towards the Chinese area.

Promotional posters for "Fast and Furious" can be seen at many bus stops, subway entrances and exits, outdoor billboards, and some supermarkets near Chinatown.

New York, Queens.

Lin Hao and Huang Xiaoling finished their classes and rode their bicycles back. It was still spring in the United States in April, but the summer heat was already approaching.

It was noon at this time, and the scorching sunshine shone on his body, making Lin Hao sweat all over.

Before entering the community where they lived, the two parked their bicycles at a large convenience store in front of the community.

Of course, He Jin will also pay close attention to the film critics invited by New Line Cinema.

People came into the theater one after another and sat down. Lin Hao looked around while grabbing popcorn from the popcorn bucket in Huang Xiaoling's hand and putting it into his mouth.

After a while, Lin Hao came back with two bottles of iced soda.

So today's premiere seems a bit nondescript.

Chicago.

On the huge poster, two figures stood facing each other. There were blood stains and beads of sweat on their faces, and they looked at each other fiercely.

Lin Hao, a manly man, went in to buy water, while Huang Xiaoling waited for him under the shade of a big tree nearby.

"Of course you don't know. You only study all day long, and you don't have time to pay attention to them."

A screening of "The Fast and the Furious" has come to an end.

Behind the two people, two sports cars that had collided were on fire.

Two minutes later, the movie started, and everyone started watching the movie quietly.

"You are talking about movies with big American stars and Chinese starring roles, but this has never happened.

It’s not like there were no Chinese films released in the United States in the past.

"Who are these two stars? I don't remember these two stars in Hollywood?"

But it is rare to see a situation like today where there are more blacks and whites than Chinese.

It's like a one-man show for an actor from "The Fast and the Furious."

Huang Xiaoling is very unfamiliar with the two people on the poster.

Lin Hao said, pointing to the man on the left side of the poster and said:

Because New Line Cinema spends most of its money on promotion and screen arrangement.

Even if there are, they are all Chinese.

Lin Hao was surprised by the current situation.

"It looks like this movie will do very well at the box office, there are so many people!"

"He Jin's movie "The Fast and the Furious" is one of the few theatrical movies with an all-Chinese cast."

The scene was full of He Jin's fans and the attracted audience, and he couldn't tell who was his fan and who was not.

But it is obviously impossible to imagine that producers usually ask He Jin and other actors to do things.

There was not a single foreign actor in this premiere, it was all actors from the production crew.

Huang Xiaoling looked at him like a fool.

"Isn't that the case all the time? Many movies are sold out when they are released, but after they get a bad reputation, no one comes to see them anymore!"

Maybe, maybe we Chinese can have another superstar like Bruce Lee.

Time passed by and before I knew it, more than half of the movie had passed.

"That's He Jin, the most powerful king in Hong Kong. He has developed both movies and music, and his results are very good.

The two of them got on their bicycles and chatted while walking. After a while, they disappeared on the street, leaving behind huge posters that continued to attract interested people to the theater.

No, it should be two, and Jackie Chan..."

Huang Xiaoling took a small sip of Coke and said.

Huang Xiaoling took a sip of soda and looked up.

After all, New Line is not the producer of this movie. Although they have the North American copyright of this movie, He Jin and others are obliged to cooperate with them.

"That's right! It seems that He Jin's popularity in the United States is really very high.

He is very popular in the United States now, and many people in our school know him.

He pointed to a huge poster banner above a convenience store not far away.

And these people came back very quickly, and no one left early.

He Jin himself is one of the screenwriters of the movie, and he has watched it several times in Xiangjiang.

And you see, in addition to Chinese Americans, there are also many blacks and whites."

It is not difficult to tell from the poster that this is the scene of a large car accident.

Farther away, there were overturned cars and broken glass all over the ground.

It has successfully entered the American market, and there is no bad viewing experience due to cultural differences.

Time Warner Studios.

He Jin and Zhou Huimin sat quietly waiting for the movie to show.

In the past, some North American film producers would screen some Hong Kong films in theaters near Chinatown.

At this time, the movie has finished playing the scene where He Xinyang ends up undercover and begins to hunt down the speedsters as a police officer.

He knew that "Fast and Furious" was a success.

When he was in Hong Kong, no matter how big or small the film investment was, there would be at least one or two supporting guests.

When they arrived at the small theater, the two of them went directly to the third row from the bottom and sat down in the two seats in the middle.

But when these movies were released, there were almost no people.

Since this is a premiere venue, it is not feasible to look at the attendance rate.

Therefore, if we want to understand the audience's interest in this movie, we can only look at their expressions while watching the movie.

Passing a bottle to Huang Xiaoling, he unscrewed his own bottle, took a deep sip of soda into his mouth, suppressed the heat in his body, and then spoke.

At the same time, he found that most of the audience had already invested their emotions in the movie.

Therefore, he was not used to today's premiere.

So, after going on stage to interact with some film critics and reporters who came to watch the movie, He Jin simply came down to accompany the little Jew and stopped going on stage.

The other one is also the King of Hong Kong, named Andy Lau.

These performances from the audience made He Jin relax his somewhat nervous heart.

"Okay then! Relax." Huang Xiaoling nodded.

They will be excited by the thrilling plot in the movie, and will look worried when the protagonist encounters danger.

After He Jin observed for tens of minutes, he roughly determined the audience's interest in this movie.

"As you said, that guy named He Jin is very popular right now. Isn't it normal to come and see him?"

The ceiling lights went out and the movie started. Lin Hao stopped thinking about it and started watching the movie.

"Let's go to the movies!"

This is the first time He Jin has experienced this kind of premiere without any support.

So he didn't focus on the movie, but on observing the audience.

Lin Hao and Huang Xiaoling walked into the theater nearest their home and bought two tickets for "The Fast and the Furious".

Since the movie started playing, he has only seen about a dozen people going out to use the restroom.

He should be moving to the United States now and has released three records, one album and two EPs.

Lakeley from "Chicago Moviegoer" crossed his arms and stared at the screen.

Oh, don't worry about it, just go or not! Anyway, we have finished our tutoring classes today and have nothing else to do, so go and support our compatriots."

Therefore, even though New Line really hoped that He Jinduo would come on stage to stir up the atmosphere, they had no choice but to give up when He Jin felt that it was no longer necessary.

He seems to have been attracted to the movie.

As a senior film critic working on the front line, it is a must to watch newly released movies every weekend.

Even though March and April are the off-season for American movies, good movies generally don't choose to be released during this season.

But Lakeley still sticks to his job every weekend.
