Entertainment Empire

The post-production of the film also means that Luo Xun has more time. After all, post-production is not like shooting. It is inseparable from the director's supervision every day. At least it is not a problem for Luo Xun to take time out to participate in the promotion of "Partners"--

Not cooperating is not an option.

The target of this "Partners" is the Spring Festival period. As a battleground in the film industry over the years, the Spring Festival period is the time when the competition among various blockbuster films is the most intense. Luo Xun cannot afford to slack off, especially after he saw which movies are the opponents of the Spring Festival period. He felt that the situation was not good--

Brother Chen Kai's "The Orphan of Zhao"!

Lao Mouzi's "Under the Hawthorn Tree"!

Zhen Zidan's "Ip Man 2: The Legend of the Grandmaster"!

None of them is easy, especially in the parallel world, when data is easily biased, even Luo Xun is a little worried about the situation of "Partners". He feels like he is surrounded by strong enemies. I am afraid that Chen Kexin himself is also in trouble at this moment. No one expected that this year's Spring Festival period would be so competitive. What's more, they are all big names, and no one is willing to give way.

Will Brother Chen Kai be willing to give way?

He is the Cannes Palme d'Or director!

If Lao Chen doesn't give in, Lao Mouzi will not give in either, otherwise where will he put his face as the number one in mainland movies? Moreover, Brother Chen Kai and he are both fifth-generation directors, but they are not very harmonious in private, and their filming concepts are very different.

As for Zhen Zidan?

He is the strongest Zhen Zidan in the universe, and his personality has always been very domineering. Moreover, Zhen Zidan represents Hong Kong movies this time, and his partner director is Ye Weixin, one of the most authoritative top directors of Hong Kong action movies at present. Not to mention that his movie this time is the second part of the "Ip Man" series of movies, and the first part of this series is a work that has gained both fame and reputation. If he gives in, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that Hong Kong movies are afraid of the siege of the two famous directors in the mainland?

This matter is related to...

The face of Hong Kong movies!

Although the cooperation between Hong Kong and the mainland has become more frequent in the past two years, due to some policies, actors from both sides have begun to be used together, but the film circles of the two sides are not in the same boat after all, and how can the gap between them disappear just like that, not to mention that Chen Kexin is in the Spring Festival period.

You know.

Because Chen Kexin's "Partner" casting completely leans towards the mainland, there is no Hong Kong face in the movie, which has caused dissatisfaction among many veteran Hong Kong filmmakers. When the movie was just filmed, it caused more than one controversy in the Hong Kong film circle. Now that everyone is encountering it, how can Hong Kong not want to let Chen Kexin taste the bitterness?

In short, it is very complicated.

The media is also competing to report on the grand occasion of the strong collision of the Spring Festival this year. All parties are predicting which of these movies will be stronger and weaker in the end. Among them, Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" is the most promising, because the lineup of this movie is too strong. The leading actor is Ge You, who currently has the highest personal box office in China. Wang Xuexin, who plays with him, is so experienced that everyone in the entertainment industry respects him. Even the supporting roles are at the level of Huang Xiaoming, Fan Binbin, Zhang Fengyi, and Zhao Wenzhuo!

The second is Lao Mouzi.

Although Lao Mouzi has declined slightly in the past two years, his signature as a director is still the first choice for many Chinese movie lovers. Even if the reputation of each of his movies is inevitably unsatisfactory, there are still batches of audiences who buy it. This is the charm of top directors!

These two are fighting!

Then "Ip Man 2: The Grandmaster" is a slightly inferior strong film. Ip Wai-hsin and Zhen Zidan are a combination that started in the first film, and their power has been proven. In order to increase the appeal of the cast in the second film, the crew also invited Hong Kong's veteran kung fu superstar Sammo Hung to play with Zhen Zidan!

Zhen Zidan vs. Sammo Hung!

It can be said that those domestic kung fu movie lovers should not miss it, but most domestic media believe that this kind of traditional Hong Kong action film has certain inherent limitations, so the final performance is definitely not the worst, but it is difficult to become the best.

In contrast.

Most media have the lowest prediction for "Partners" starring Luo Xun, because the male lead Luo Xun has never had the experience of taking the lead in a movie, although his performance in supporting roles in movies is remarkable, while Deng Chao and Tong David are a bit TV-like. The two may be very influential and famous in the TV circle, but they are small-time characters in the film circle...

No black meaning.

Even if Luo Xun examines the casts of several movies, he will come to a similar conclusion. After all, Deng Chao and Tong David in recent years have not had much appeal in the film industry. They are just famous enough. Luo Xun does have a certain appeal, but he used to play supporting roles, and they were the kind of supporting roles with outstanding personalities. No one can say whether the audience will still buy into him after he plays the leading role!

But who made Luo Xun a time traveler?

As a time traveler, Luo Xun knows that the performance of "Partners" is not bad. If he gives up now, it will really be a failure. You must know that this movie did not face so many challenges in the previous life: "But then again, if it stands out under such high pressure, the box office value of "Partners" will be unprecedentedly high, and I can also use this time's leading role to truly prove my box office appeal!"

Not only Luo Xun.

At this time, Zhen Zidan, who was promoting in Shanghai, was also full of ambition: "Ip Man 2: The Grandmaster is not only a legend of Ip Man, but also a legend of me. I have a veteran Kung Fu star like Sammo Hung as my supporting role, and Director Ye Weixin is here to escort me, just to officially promote me to the top and make me the first fighting star in the country in the true sense. This is my coronation ceremony as the new king!"

On the other side.

Brother Chen Kai was also full of confidence: "Ge You, the actor with the highest box office in domestic movies, Wang Xuexin, who has won numerous top awards, and Zhang Fengyi, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Binbin and other first-line stars are playing supporting roles. The Orphan of Zhao is a real all-star lineup. With me, great things can be accomplished!"

Lao Mouzi was the calmest.

The main reason is that he is no longer at the age where he can dance with his mood for a movie. Nowadays, the failure or success of a movie has little impact on him, so he is now highlighting that he is not surprised by praise or criticism. "Under the Hawthorn Tree" is the movie he wants to make. The heroine is even a complete newcomer. Anyway, this is not a commercial film, so it doesn't matter if the box office is a little poor.

Different thoughts.

But the publicity war of the four movies is definitely full of gunpowder. The head-on collision of top directors and countless first-line stars has made this Spring Festival period unprecedentedly lively before it has even started. Domestic movie fans have also accumulated enough expectations early, and the four fans are competing against each other in the forum!
