Chapter 125: All the way to the north.

[Initial text d] and [Myth] overlap, and the release time of the media is naturally compared to the promotional time.

Although Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang's partner have produced masterpieces like "Infernal Affairs", in terms of background, they are really not a little different from Tang Jili.

Tang Jili was born in a martial arts industry and became a disciple of Liu Jialiang's junior brother Yu Yuanwen and Hou Yaozong. He then entered the film and television industry. He was also Liu Jialiang's junior nephew. As a martial arts industry leader Tang Jili once served as a stand-in for Chow Yun-fat, Maggie Cheung, Chung Cheung, and Leslie Cheung.

Later, [Angel Action] was promoted to executive director and martial arts director, and then he began to enter the ranks of directors.

In 1990, Tang Jili seized the opportunity of Hong Kong film prosperity and formed a self-made company to film the [Demon World Flying Dragon] with a box office of over 10 million, which established his identity as a director in one fell swoop.

Jiahe saw Tang Jili's talent from this film, so he invited him to invest 80 million to shoot [Police Story 3], which is also the first time Cheng Long won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

In 1994, Jiahe once again invited him to serve as the director and action director of [Red Fan District], and broke the record of the most popular Chinese film in the United States.

It can be said that Tang Jili's human body is like a cheat. If it is placed in a novel, it is a perfect template. In terms of status in the film and television industry, Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang can only be considered elementary school students in front of him at most.

So in the publicity, Tang Jili expressed with confidence: He never regarded anyone as an opponent, his only opponent is himself.

Of course, there are also many reporters who are holding back their bad intentions and ask him to comment on Zhou Xing. This is obviously digging a hole to make him jump. After all, Zhou Xing is the male lead in [Initial D]. Praise him, that is to increase the enemy's prestige and belittle him? Liu Jialiang just recognized him as his junior nephew, and they are actually brothers of the same school, and it is wrong to say anything.

However, Tang Jili clearly stated: I just watched the Seven Swords. Zhou Xing is a good actor and looks forward to his cooperation with this junior brother.

Of course, this is also because Tang Jili has enough confidence. After all, the combination of Sung Long and Kim Hee-sun and Liu Jiahui plays the villain. He is aiming for the box office champion in this film.

In contrast, the promotional strategy of China Asia is very clear. To put it bluntly, even if this film is not profitable, as long as it can make the actors famous, they will make money. They will not lose money when they are filmed in a series in the future.

Moreover, the World Asia also attaches great importance to the mainland market. Yuwen Le and Chen Guanxi all came to the mainland to join Zhou Xing to post various notices to participate in the publicity.

Of course, the resource tilt is mainly about Zhou Xing. After all, his popularity in the mainland is not comparable to that of two newcomers.

[Initial D] was released a week before [Myth], and it can be seen that Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang are a little nervous. After all, this time the opponent is different from usual. They will also remove the halo of "Xiangjiang Film Saving the Market". The two pure commercial films will only compete in the box office in the end.

[Initial D] Premiere, Ten D-Drift Girls were specially selected. Not to mention, such a vulgar marketing method was so popular. Perhaps it was related to the audience of this movie, most of which were young men. Beauties of fragrant cars have always been the pursuit of men.

The World Asia even created a "props museum" that said it would auction some props from this drama, including the ae86 that Zhou Xing drove in the movie. It is said that a rich man had already paid a high price of 500,000 yuan.

I have to say that the World Asia has put some thoughts on this movie.

A series of fancy actions have been completed, and the film officially begins. The beginning is naturally the usual dragon mark, and then the opening animation of the World Asia. The picture changes, and with the subtitles, there is a harsh sound of brakes and the roar of the motor.

The first one to appear was not Zhou Xing, but Ryosuke Takahashi played by Chen Guanxiong and Shi Nakari Nakari played by Yuwen Le.

The two agreed to challenge the drivers from all walks of life in Gunma Prefecture and then fight to the point.

One day, Nakari Yi came to the gas station: "I want to find the Akima Mountain Racing God. If you know him, please tell me. I will wait for him to appear on Saturday night."

At this time, Zhou Xing had a blank expression on his face, looking very immature. Some viewers even suspected that he was really the same actor as Chu Zhaonan?

Takukai Fujiwara, played by Zhou Xing, looks ordinary and has no desire to win or lose. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him. Amu, who took over his friend, was full of confidence, but he wanted to compete with Nakari Yi.

"He really doesn't know anything." Nakari Yi looked at Amu playing tricks and started first with a relaxed look.

The result of the competition can be imagined. The scene of Fujiwara Takumi getting out of the car and vomiting wildly also made many viewers laugh.

After the competition, Nakari Taki once again expressed his intention to compete with Ryosuke Takahashi, but the other party said that it was a flaw. At night, Nakari Taki drove GTR on Akime Mountain to find a solution.

However, a AE86 suddenly appeared in the rearview mirror. Nakari Yi naturally would not give way and rushed all the way. In the end, Nakari Yi was overtaken. He stopped the car and watched the AE86 in the distance disappear in front of him.

Many viewers who have watched the trailer couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene. It turned out that ae86 won in the end.

[Initial text d] is not a very connotative movie, but it is definitely a movie that looks very satisfying. From the beginning of Ritsuki's loss to Fujiwara Takumi, his life gradually changed.

Of course, the plot of the heroine Xia Shu being kept caused many viewers to curse. Obviously, Mai Zhaohui overestimated the audience's ability to bear the cuckold plot.

Especially at the end, Fujiwara Takukai, played by Zhou Xing, saw the scene of Natsuki making the final hug with the middle-aged uncle, and the background slowly sounded.

"The world in the rearview mirror

Farewell to the distance

You turn to your back

The side face is still beautiful

I'll chase it with my eyes

Hear your tears.”

As the ending subtitles were broadcast, the audience realized that the song was called "All the way to the north", and the lyrics and songwriting and singing were all Zhou Xing.

[Initial text d] The premiere came to an end, and the audience's comments were mixed. Many viewers said that the racing camera was cool, the actors were handsome, the interlude was nice, and then, there was nothing.

On the day of the premiere, [Initial D] Douban scored 6.5, which is a very pertinent score. Although there are many comments that derogatory this film to be useless, most viewers still expressed that as a popcorn movie, it was quite satisfying to watch.

I guess if I saw such an evaluation, I would faint from crying in the toilet. Is this too double standard?
