Entertainment, I just like making movies

Before I knew it, the time was approaching seven o'clock.

When Lin Chaoxian appeared with film creators such as Liu Ye, Luo Jin, Wen Yongshan, Zhang Yi, Huang Jingyu, and Peng Yuchang, the screening hall burst into thunderous applause.

Bang bang bang...

Bang bang bang...

Endless applause came and resounded over the screening hall, indicating that the guests and the audience were looking forward to and optimistic about "Operation Mekong".

seven thirty.

With the early interviews and premiere procedures completed, Lin Chaoxian and Liu Ye stepped down from the stage with the courtesy of host He Jiong.

The movie is officially screened.

One minute later.

The big screen lights up, and the first thing that appears is still the Chinese character dragon, as well as the logos of Hengyu Media, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, Bona Pictures, and Beidou Seven Stars Joint Distribution Company.

Then the screen flashed.

A scene of a promiscuous woman sucking a prostitute appeared, and appropriate narration was heard, introducing the dangers of prostitutes to the audience, as well as the geographical location of Jinshanjiao and the rampant prostitution and trafficking of prostitutes.

Some viewers smiled knowingly and secretly said that Lin Chaoxian was indeed a director from Hong Kong, and the opening chapter was full of Hong Kong film style.

The knowledgeable guests felt that this movie was very different from ordinary Hong Kong police and gangster movies.

The reason is also very simple. The addition of narration adds a bit of depth to the film, instead of entering the plot immediately.

But no matter how you look at it, the beginning of the movie can score 90 points, attracting everyone to look forward to the next plot.

Soon, dinner was served to everyone on the big screen.

Mekong River, waters of Lansi Island, Myanmar.

Two Chinese cargo ships appeared, both heading towards the Golden Triangle area at high speed.

Sudden

Several speedboats appeared on the river, accompanied by bursts of AK47 gunfire. The Chinese people on the freighter suddenly felt in danger and turned around and ran back.

Then the screen darkened, and the camera appeared in the Imperial Capital of China.

A line of subtitles appeared.

The time shows October 5, 2011.

The Ministry of Security is holding a nationally interesting competition, with big bosses gathered at the scene, reporters, representatives of major police forces, and thousands of people participating.

On the big screen, special police officers were demonstrating how to rescue robbers from hijacking vehicles and taking hostages.

Three strikes, five divided by two, the powerful special police, with advanced equipment and tacit understanding, killed the robbers in one fell swoop.

Bang bang bang...

Bang bang bang...

On the big screen, there was warm applause.

Seeing this, many viewers subconsciously sat upright, knowing that the incident on the Mekong River had reached the imperial capital.

Then it slowly turned and the minister played by Bao Guoshu appeared.

The solemn police uniforms and the 000001 siren all tell the audience that something serious is going on.

The secretary came to Uncle Bao Guo and lowered his voice and said solemnly, "Minister, there is a sudden incident, something happened in the Mekong River!"

From here on, the movie's layout suddenly became bigger. Across the big screen, the audience could feel the power and majesty of China.

At the same time, everyone felt a little relieved and looked forward to the direction of the plot and the Chinese elite police to quickly go to the Golden Triangle.

What happened next was as the audience expected.

China takes the Mekong River incident very seriously. The minister ordered Gao Gang, the Yun Province Anti-Narcotics Corps, to lead a capable police force to Myanmar.

At the same time, the news was broadcast on the big screen.

"Good afternoon, viewers. Here is an urgent news report. In the early morning of October 5, 2011, two Chinese merchant ships were attacked in the Golden Triangle of the Mekong River. All 13 Chinese crew members on board were killed."

The spread of the news made the Chinese people aware of the incident and the authorities' determination to find the truth.

Then, the camera came to Myanmar.

Anbu established a special operations team for this case. Gao Gang, played by Liu Ye, was the captain and led elite police officers such as Wen Yongshan, Zhang Yi, Huang Jingyu, and Peng Yuchang to sneak into the Golden Triangle to find out the truth.

The action team came to the scene and, with the assistance of undercover police officer Fang Xinwu played by Luo Jin, tried their best to find out the mastermind behind the case.

However, the process of catching the real culprit is not as simple as the audience thought. The progress of the incident is confusing, and the clues can be lost if you are not careful.

The Golden Triangle area is dangerous, mysterious, chaotic, and full of people of all colors, and all the characters involved in unique products are not ordinary people.

The action team went through many difficulties and dangers before they found the weakness of the real culprit behind the scenes and accurately located the lair of Du Xiao.

Finally, elite special forces were dispatched to cooperate with the action team to annihilate the drug lord's lair in one fell swoop and escort the chief criminal back to the country.

The two-hour movie had ups and downs in the plot and was full of dangers. The audience watched it thoroughly and happily.

Until the end of the movie and the background music came, everyone was still recalling the dangers and details in the play.

Bang bang bang...

Bang bang bang...

As expected, excited applause broke out again.

The guests, media, and audience all stood up and gave the most sincere cheers to the movie.

"Operation Mekong" did not disappoint them and brought a new visual experience to everyone present.

Along with the applause, the audience started discussing excitedly.

"It's so exciting. Apart from the nervousness and frustration at the beginning, the rest of the plot is really non-stop!"

"Awesome, that's what it tastes like. Why should we in China have to swallow our anger every time and just do it?"

"The movie is amazing. Although there are no particularly grand scenes or large-scale battle scenes, the plots of each section are interlocking. It is tense and exciting with wits and excitement. In the end, the chief criminal is captured and returned to the country. It is really exciting. Got it!"

"You think, why didn't you kill the first offender on the spot and take him back home?"

"Silly, this is to make criminals accept the sanctions of the people, and at the same time announce the truth to Myanmar and other countries around the world, telling them that our dispatch is justified and does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs."

"Oh, let me tell you, why bother?"

"Haha.. When I talk about this, I think of Hong Kong Island police movies. They always kill them through plot. Now it seems that there is nothing these movies can do. Without plot killing, the laws of Hong Kong Island have absolutely no way to arrest criminals. It has to be released when the time comes, why not just kill people at the end of the movie!"

"It's the tragedy of a small place. When you go to other countries to catch criminals, you can't even show it in a movie because it's too awesome, because people will think it's fake!"

"That's right, it's not like "Operation Mekong". The action team has the right to use weapons as soon as they arrive, and the quality is higher than that of Hong Kong police movies!"

"I laughed. When the male protagonist in a Hong Kong movie arrives in a foreign country, his first words are always only advice and no law enforcement powers. Every shootout is secretive. The weapons are either stolen or bought on the black market. I'm really drunk!"

The audience discussing the film is getting bigger and louder.

After the applause stopped, the buzz reached the ears of the guests and the film's creators in the front row.

Liu Ye, Luo Jin and others smiled knowingly, then pursed their lips and looked at Lin Chaoxian.

This is the director from Hong Kong Island, a master of police movies.

Lin Chaoxian shook his head and laughed, waved his hands, stood up, and sighed: "I'm fine. The audience is right. When we were filming police movies in the early years, Hong Kong Island was fine, and the plot could be used in any way.

Once in a foreign country, such as Thailand and Myanmar, the plot is really tiring. The male protagonist looks heroic and invincible, and his acting skills are online. However, the plot he plays in the drama is very frustrating and helpless.

You have all watched "Suppressing Independence", in which the policemen played by three great movie stars, Goo Jai, Ching Wan, and Ka Fai, face the independent gangsters in the Golden Triangle together, and are forced to leave one person behind. "

"Seen."

"Seen."

Liu Ye, Luo Jin, Wen Yongshan, Zhang Yi, Huang Jingyu, and Peng Yuchang nodded, showing a hint of curiosity.

"Do you know why the plot is arranged this way?"

Lin Chaoxian's eyes flickered as he asked and answered: "Because there is no other way. With the power of the Hong Kong Island Police Force alone, it is impossible to wipe out the powerful tyrants in the movie unless the entire force is dispatched. If only a few policemen go past, they will not be beaten except for being beaten." What else can be done is to postpone the plot and devise a plot for the independent lord to come to Hong Kong.

If we were to shoot on the mainland, with the support of the entire country, if we were given permission to shoot, I could directly pull a group over, or fire a few missiles, destroying all the independent lords in the Golden Triangle in minutes. "

Lin Chaoxian raised the corners of his mouth and said with humor.

At the same time, he was secretly proud of himself, happy that he could gain a foothold in the mainland and be able to direct such a refreshing movie as "Operation Mekong".

It was never so exciting when I was on Hong Kong Island. I was too scared to make a movie and couldn't express many of my fantastic ideas.

Yes!

For veterans like Lin Chaoxian, fighting in the battlefield on Hong Kong Island with the roar of guns and cannons is no longer enough.

It would be really satisfying to have the protagonist go to a foreign land to cause trouble and make things right, without having to worry about bugs.

At this time, Fang Ziheng heard his sigh, came over, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "You want to feel good, right? The next movie will make you feel good!"

"Okay, thank you, Chairman!"

Lin Chaoxian's eyes lit up, and he understood that this was Fang Ziheng talking about "Operation Red Sea" and that they were going to cause trouble.

………

After a while, the atmosphere at the scene became quiet.

Host He Jiong appeared on the stage, shouted passionately, and invited Fang Ziheng, Yu Dong, Lin Chaoxian, Liu Ye, Luo Jin and others to the stage.

"Thank you, thank you everyone for your support."

After taking the stage, Fang Ziheng took the microphone and led everyone to bow slightly to the audience.

Then, he handed the microphone to Yu Dong and stood aside waiting quietly.

He knew that reporters would definitely ask questions later, asking them their evaluation of "Operation Mekong" and their views on the film in the face of five imported blockbusters.

Yu Dong, Lin Chaoxian, and Liu Ye can answer the former question.

The latter question can only be answered by him. It is estimated that even Yu Dong has lingering fears and does not dare to fire off the cannons randomly.

About ten minutes later.

The reporters completed the preliminary preparations and interviews. The conversation changed and they started questioning Fang Ziheng in a swarm.

"Hello Director Fang, I am a reporter from Modu Entertainment. I would like to ask you how you predict the total box office of "Operation Mekong", and how you judge the film is about to face the encirclement and suppression of five imported films."

"Hello Director Fang, I am a reporter from Nandu Daily, and I come here with a lot of imported films. If the box office performance of "Operation Mekong" is not as good as everyone's expectations, it sometimes means that there is something wrong with your vision, and the myth of unbeaten is about to be broken!"

For a moment, the screening room fell silent.

The audience and the guests all held their breath at this moment, the secret passage was coming!

In the audience, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Chen Yu, Chen Wu, Ren Zhong, Fu Ruoqing, Hengyu's artists, and other people in the film industry all stared at Fang Ziheng with glaring eyes, for fear of missing a word.

On the stage, host He Jiong, Yu Dong, Lin Chaoxian, Liu Ye, Wen Yongshan, Luo Jin, Zhang Yi, Huang Jingyu and others also took a breath, gently adjusted their steps, turned sideways, raised their ears and whispered listen.

There was only one Peng Yuchang, blinking his innocent eyes, not knowing what happened!

Fang Ziheng took the microphone from Yu Dong, pondered for three seconds, and spoke loudly in front of more than 1,500 people present.

"Let's talk about the first question first, box office."

"I don't have high expectations for the box office of "Operation Mekong". It doesn't have to catch up with "Fast 7", it just needs to surpass "Avengers 2"!"

As soon as these words came out, the reporters became excited and opened their mouths one after another.

"How much is that? "Avengers 2" will soon reach 1.4 billion!"

"That's right, Director Fang, please stop playing riddles and speak quickly!"

"This is it"

Fang Ziheng deliberately whetted everyone's appetite and raised his left hand in front of everyone's fiery eyes.

First they compared ten, then they compared six and eight.

"The total box office of "Avengers 2" is about 1.5 billion. As a domestic military action film, "Operation Mekong" will be set at 1.6 to 1.8 billion. Isn't that too much?"

boom..

The scene suddenly became noisy, and countless people stared blankly at the figure in the center of the stage.

1.6 billion to 1.8 billion!

Not too much?

What was the last military action movie and how much did it earn at the box office?

It seems to be "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds 1" directed by Wu Jing, the movie adapted from the game of the same name, with a total box office of more than 700 million, but less than 800 million.

Two years later, someone is now telling them that their second domestic military action film can earn 1.8 billion.

seriously?

People today are stupid. If the person who said this didn't say Fang Ziheng, if he didn't know that Fang Ziheng's vision has always been accurate, his predictions have never been wrong.

If it were anyone else, such as Yu Dong, everyone would definitely turn on taunting.

At the very least, there will be boos!

Before everyone could recover, Fang Ziheng's voice sounded again, and completely shocked everyone.

"Now for the second question."

"In my opinion, the three imported films released today and the other two imported films released soon are all rubbish in the face of "Operation Mekong" and do not pose any threat to the film."

"I'm not afraid that people will say I'm bragging. None of the five imported films have been successful, and none of them have reached the billion-dollar box office level. They are all rivals of "Operation Mekong"."

"Director Fang, is this your promise of five imported films?"

A reporter took advantage of every opportunity and asked questions!

"No, it's not bold talk, it's grand talk!"

"If you don't believe it, we can wait and see!"

"Oh, by the way, fellow journalists, please write down the situation more clearly when you go back to report. This time "Operation Mekong" will face not five imported films, but six."

"I firmly believe that "Operation Mekong" can sweep all the movies released in the same period in the next month, that is, June, in the first half of the summer season, including "Jurassic World" which will be released on June 10!"

Fang Ziheng's expression was calm, but his voice was cold and his eyes were unwavering, expressing his feelings to everyone present.

The resolute and cold voice rumbled through the top-notch speakers and resounded throughout the entire auditorium, shocking the more than 1,500 people in the room.
