From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

The screen slowly dimmed, and the list of actors and credits slowly rose.

The theater lights turned on at the same time, and the voices in the audience gradually changed from a quiet discussion to a noisy one.

Some viewers loudly said that this film was the biggest surprise among all Hong Kong films this year.

Some people regretfully say that compared to other police and gangster films, this film does not have any big scenes.

Some lamented the regret that the stunning violent aesthetics at the beginning of the film were lost later on.

There are also fans who are wiping their tears pitifully - they have not yet recovered from the freeze-frame crying scene when Ding Zhi recalls the killing.

But all their discussions cannot avoid the same person, that is Ding Zhi.

"Awesome!"

Zhou He looked at the slightly fat middle-aged man who was talking next to him.

He is also a well-known film critic. The two of them are also acquaintances and have had many exchanges with each other.

Noticing Zhou He's gaze, the slightly fat man added, "Ding Zhi is awesome!"

From their professional point of view, this film by Chow Hsien-yang abandons the adrenaline-stimulating routines of most Hong Kong police films such as big scenes, explosions, gun battles, and car chases, and goes the opposite way in the creation of characters.

After working hard, the plot is even close to the exquisite plot of Japanese original reasoning.

It has ideas, is new, and looks good.

But it's far from amazing.

What really elevates the viewing experience of this film to such an extent is the actors' performances.

In particular, Ding Zhi does not have a single line in the entire story, and uses a method similar to mime to interpret a subversive character accurately and deeply, which greatly enhances the sense of surprise and story.

So much so that in the final stage, just watching the memories of Ding Zhi trembling and crying while facing the camera was enough to cause the audience to overflow with emotions.

"Do you think he can win an award this time with this film?"

Zhou He said with some emotion.

The fat man thought about it carefully and shook his head, "It's really unclear. Ding Zhi is still a newcomer. He made his debut on the talent show stage and acted in commercial Hong Kong films. You also know that those who control awards

What kind of urine do old antiques have?"

But he added, "But there will definitely be nominations."

When Zhou He heard this, he also shook his head, "Forget it, it's pointless for us to discuss this. We might as well go back and think about how to concoct a film review. I have a hunch that this film will be a hit, at least it will be."

Xiaobang.”

...

While the audience below was whispering, Ding Zhi and other main creators in the first row also came on stage again.

This time the reporters seemed much more professional, and their questions basically focused on director Zhou Xianyang, asking about the inspiration and ideas for various scripts and a series of other things.

After all, the carriage fare was paid, and there was a certain tacit understanding with the film crew. The "paparazzi-style" questioning by the four-eyed frog reporter just now was considered an exception.

More importantly, it was because I had already asked Ding Zhi before the movie started, so there was no need to "pursue and block" him again.

Of course, some reporters would occasionally ask Ding Zhi about his original intention for accepting this drama, and Ding Zhi would dismiss them according to the clichés. Anyway, those were the procedures, which seemed a bit lacking in skills.

Overall, the premiere ceremony went perfectly.

At twelve o'clock at noon, reporters and film critics were invited to the hotel for a feast and a feast. They paid for them, and they had to help you write film reviews and promote them. You had to take good care of them.

Because Ren Dahua and Wen Yongshi had to catch a flight, Ding Zhi made an appointment with them to meet again. After saying goodbye to them for a while, he found Liang Qiong, Zhang Songwen and Li Xiuyuan, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Let’s not mention the hospitality for now.

Soon, the film began to be screened simultaneously on Hong Kong Island and the Mainland.

Due to the explosion of early pre-sale results, the original nationwide film schedule of "Manhunt" has also been significantly adjusted, from the original 7% to as much as 12%.

It is unknown how many of the film producers of the same period secretly cursed "Manhunt" and Ding Zhi.

But as Zhou He asserted at the premiere, this film is slowly beginning to explode.

The first is the advantage in post-release publicity.

In fact, don’t underestimate the beneficial effect of traffic on a movie.

We scold popular artists for ruining their works, which is annoying. Don’t the capital and producers know this?

Why do they still seem to be obsessed with superstitious traffic for a period of time?

Because it’s really useful!

It wasn't until the audience was fed too much shit that they didn't want to eat anymore, and the market began to bite back, and capital suddenly gave up on that routine.

In fact, in the early stage of publicity, the movie "Pursuit" became very popular because of Ding Zhi, and it was one of the most well-publicized movies during this summer vacation.

A fantasy film and a comedy film from the same period were originally the biggest contenders for the biggest summer vacation title, but as a result, a menacing "dark horse" suddenly appeared to squeeze their film schedule!

To tell you what it feels like, it's like several lv4 and lv5 big-name authors are opening a book at a certain point at the same time, competing for a Sanjiang position. At the end, suddenly a lv1 author's trumpet is suddenly revealed. It turns out that he is a

Platinum God!

What kind of grass is this.

But in the past, this method of using popular celebrities to obtain box office has been proven to be unfeasible.

Many pre-sales results based on fans' offensive have been gratifying. The box office exceeded 100 million on the first day, and the box office was halved on the second day, and then continued to decline. Bad movies that were urgently released less than half a month after their release have given bloody answers.

But this time it seems to be different.

Although Ding Zhi is one of the hottest traffic stars currently, he is different from his previous traffic.

——"I watched the premiere, and this time I came back for the second time! I don't want to spoil the specific plot, I can only say Ding Zhi yyds!"

——"Actually, if it weren't for Ding Zhi's name printed on the poster, I would have almost overlooked that Wang Yuanyang was played by Ding Zhi! Is this a real drama?"

——"The movie is a good movie. I originally thought it would be a classic Hong Kong movie with police and gangster drama, gun battles, big explosions, and the grudges between police and criminals, but I didn't expect it to be a surprising original mystery film!"

"

——"It looks great! This is a cult film. There is no doubt that every scene I saw is so familiar, the lines, the expressions, and I even know what they are going to say next. Despite this, I was still scared."

——"In the first part of the movie, the plot was as expected, and the actors' performances were beyond my expectations! Especially Ding Zhi. When "Peeping" became a big hit, I didn't watch it, thinking that he was just another financial product.

Another 'totem', in this movie, he made me

What a slap in the face! There is not a single line in the whole film, and it relies entirely on expressions to express the complex and intense emotions in his heart! Who would have thought that four or five years ago, he relied on the traffic from the talent show stage to make his debut? In my opinion, in this film, he

It’s no exaggeration to call his performance a movie star level!”

——"For those of you who haven't watched "Peeping", now I have the urge to go back and read it! Ding Zhi is so awesome!"

As soon as these comments came out on the Internet, many passers-by initially thought it was another wave of familiar empty-bottle operations, but the emergence of more and more "tap water" has made many people who do not pay attention to the entertainment industry become interested.

The most intuitive manifestation is that after the box office of "Pursuit" exceeded 100 million in its first week of release, it abnormally continued to rise, performing a one-day box office show of reverse growth month-on-month!

Among the most commented comments about this movie on the Internet, apart from the plot, 80% of the topics revolved around Ding Zhi.

If "Peeping" was a big hit, it was a drama that was praised by people, and now that "The Manhunt" is a hit at the box office, it has a vague feeling of "people are cheering for the show".
