Superstars start as villains

Chapter 100 Cruel New Year's Day.

While Zhou Xing was actively promoting the new album, the film market was also surging. First, Xiao Gang Pao's "A World Without Thieves" was scheduled for December 12th, followed by "Kung Fu" by Xingye. On the 9rd, these two films are undoubtedly the most direct competitors, although they are one in front of the other.

All the major media have started to stir up a commotion. Whether this year will be a good one depends on this wave.

Xiao Gang showed great confidence in "A World Without Thieves", and even publicly stated to the media that the box office of this movie will surpass "Housing Daggers" to win the annual box office champion.

Of course, Xiaogangpao may not really think so, it's just for publicity, after all, this is also the way he is best at.

However, in this way, Zhang Weiping is not happy, what do you mean?Isn't this obviously going to step on him to climb up?That's okay?

Zhang Weiping immediately said that not every director can reach the height of the national teacher, and some people should not blow it so hard, be careful to stumble in the end.

Xiaogangpao's nose is crooked, isn't this clearly looking down on him?
As a result, there was another scolding battle between Xiaogangpao and Zhang Weiping in the media. It seemed to be a battle of spirits, but in fact the purpose of both sides was very obvious. Attention, and Xiaogangpao has repeatedly emphasized that "A World Without Thieves" is his ambitious work, and it is clearly aimed at promoting the film.

Experts look at the doorway, in fact, many seemingly life-and-death battles are nothing more than hype. When you reach the status of Xiaogangpao and Zhang Weiping, you do everything with a purpose. If you deny that people spend thousands of dollars every minute, why should you entertain them? ?

Of course, for most viewers, just watching the excitement is enough.

[A World Without Thieves] has an unprecedentedly strong promotional lineup. Hua Tsai and Uncle Ge lead the team, one Xiangjiang and one mainland, with flowers blooming on both sides, and milk tea is running non-stop on both sides. This shows the ambition of Xiaogangpao, he is not just Focus on the mainland market.

Compared with the publicity lineup of [Kung Fu], it seems a lot "low-key". Except for Yuan Hua who is still a little famous, everyone else is a small role. Any big guy, in his movie, will be overshadowed by his light.

The word Xingye itself is a guarantee of the box office. This is what he has accumulated through classic movies over the years. Just seeing "Xingye's work" on the promotional poster is enough to make the audience pay for tickets , the entire Chinese film industry, this is the only one, there is no semicolon.

Amid all the attention, [A World Without Thieves] ushered in its premiere. According to the feedback from the audience, the media and film critics, the quality of this movie is still quite high. I kept holding my breath, after all, there were too many films that were popular or not.

But soon, Xiaogangpao breathed a sigh of relief, and the box office of "A World Without Thieves" broke through 600 million in the mainland on the first day, and it was in the limelight for a while.

On December 12th, it was released for eight days, and the box office exceeded 17 million. This achievement not only made Xiaogangpao ecstatic, but even the two kings of Huayi, big and small, laughed the whole time when they were interviewed by the media.

Originally, based on the previous box office performance of Xiaogang Cannon, Huayi estimated that the domestic box office of "A World Without Thieves" would exceed 6000 million. However, it was only one step away from the goal after only eight days of release. This is undoubtedly a huge surprise. If the box office of "A World Without Thieves" breaks through 8000 million according to this trend, it will not be a problem.

Of course, the higher the box office, the better. Huayi has put in all its strength to publicize [A World Without Thieves], and almost all the media have nothing else to do for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Weiping didn't stay idle. When interviewed by the media, he said arrogantly: He?It’s still far away. [Ambush from Ten Daggers] reached more than 500 million in seven days. The box office in the mainland can’t match it, and the box office in Xiangjiang is even less ideal, let alone overseas?

For this, Xiaogangpao was very angry, but there was nothing he could do, because what he said was true, Xiangjiang's box office was indeed on the street, and it was unknown whether he could break through 600 million in the end. Catering to the Hong Kong audience, the Cantonese dubbing was specially made, but the Hong Kong audience did not buy it at all.

Of course, Xiaogangpao doesn't have time to talk to Zhang Weiping, because "Kung Fu" by Xingye is about to be released, and he himself played a cameo role in this drama. In terms of understanding of this drama, he is better than ordinary people. They are much deeper, and naturally they are like facing an enemy.

At the premiere of [Kung Fu], Zhou Xing obtained two movie tickets through his connections, and asked Zeng Ruowen to go to the theater to see it quickly.

When the media saw Zhou Xing and Zeng Ruowen appearing in the theater, they were stunned, and then they all gathered around.

"Zhou Xing, are you and Zeng Ruwen in a relationship now?" This is the question that reporters ask the most. In fact, since Zhou Xing and Zeng Ruwen started working together, there have been rumors about their affair. Zeng Ruwen knew each other first.

Well now, they broke up, and Zhou Xing even came back from the mainland and wrote two songs for Zeng Ruowen. Many fans of Zeng Ruowen expressed their hope that they could be together.

It's a pity that Zeng Ruowen and Zhou Xing both said that their relationship is limited to friendship, but unfortunately the outside world still doesn't believe that they are a pure relationship between men and women.

"Do you think we are like lovers?" Zhou Xing and Zeng Ruwen looked at each other and smiled.

Having said that, it's true, if Zhou Xing really had something to do with Zeng Ruwen, he would definitely not let the media see it so blatantly.

"Don't they really have nothing?" This made the paparazzi a little bit at a loss.

"Wait for me, I'll go buy popcorn." Zhou Xing ignored the reporter and said to Zeng Ruwen.

"There's still Coke!" Zeng Ruwen reminded with a smile.

Zhou Xing also smiled when he saw this, and it was obvious that she should have come out completely.

At the beginning of the movie, when the little steel cannon bared its crooked teeth and shouted: Who else.

Both Zhou Xing and Zeng Ruowen couldn't help laughing out loud, and the theater was full of laughter, but the audience probably didn't even know that this guy would be the director of "A World Without Thieves".

Master Xing's movies are as funny as ever, but they are not just funny, in fact, as Master Xing once said: I have made many tragedies, but you all say they are comedies.

Amid applause, the movie ended, and just as Zhou Xing was about to leave with Zeng Ruwen, Master Xing walked over.

"Thank you for coming." Master Xing stretched out his hand.

Zhou Xing smiled and shook hands with him, he didn't seem to be as unkind as in the legend.

"Master Xing, does the ending of the movie indicate that all this is just a dream of a little boy?" Zhou Xing asked suddenly.

Master Xing's eyes lit up, he looked at Zhou Xing, shrugged his shoulders: "If you think it is, then it is."

The two looked at each other and laughed, Zeng Ruowen looked at them blankly, not understanding what they were laughing at.
