Chapter 156: A lie told 10,000 times is the truth.

"Be careful on the road, get off the plane, remember to send a text message..."

After the love call was transferred, the Chinese New Year was almost over, so Tong Liya naturally had to go back to reunite with her family. Zhou Xing took her to board the plane and kept reminding her along the way.

Tong Liya never said a word, until the terminal building, blinked mischievously: "Okay, Lao Zhou, if you talk more, I won't be able to catch up with the plane."

"Ahem." Zhou Xing was a little embarrassed: "Aren't we all determined our relationship? Can we change our name?"

"That won't work. Who asked your old cow to eat tender grass?" Tong Liya smiled like a little fox who only stole the chicken.

"I..." Zhou Xing lamented in his heart, and he had to hold on even the evil he had done.

However, just as he was regretting, Tong Liya suddenly came over, tapped his lips slightly, then pulled the suitcase and ran away quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the security check area.

"This girl..." Zhou Xing looked at her disappearing back, wiped off the remaining lip marks on her lips, shook her head and chuckled: "It seems that I will bring some high-quality lipstick when I go to Xiangjiang this time."

After seeing off Tong Liya, Zhou Xing also became busy. The "Love Call Transfer" was already in post-production, so the promotional matters naturally had to be proposed. Although many female celebrities have made guest appearances, the highlights are still a bit insufficient, and Xu Zheng's box office appeal is still almost interesting.

"System." Zhou Xing silently opened the system interface, entered: love, transferred two keywords in the music area, and then two songs appeared. After listening to it, he found that these two songs were actually the same song.

Moreover, the Cantonese version of "Subsidy of Mount Fuji" seems to have been released last year. Zhou Xing thought about it and exchanged the Mandarin version.

"Sister anli, who is in the copyright of [Sub Fuji]? Please contact me, I want to fill in the lyrics of this song in Mandarin version to use it as the theme song of [Love Call Transfer]."

Anli's eyes lit up and she joked: "If I hadn't heard you say this, I would have almost forgotten that you could write songs. It's been so many years since you were really worried about your fans."

"Go, stop talking sarcastic. When have I been idle in recent years? How can I have time to release records?" Zhou Xing said angrily.

Anli is still very efficient in his work. He obtained the authorization of [Subsidy of Mount Fuji] three days later and invited the musician from Warner Records to reorganize the song according to the lyrics provided by Zhou Xing.

In 2006, the Chinese music scene was full of flowers. All singers seemed to have made enough effort in this year, with powerful singers and new generation idols. Perhaps, this is the best era in the Chinese music scene.

This year, Angela Chang reached its peak with a song [Invisible Wings] and was included in the album [Pandora], with the album sales exceeding three million.

In the same year, a band named Soda Green quickly occupied a place in the Chinese music scene with a [Little Love Song], and their lead singer Wu Qingfeng was also well-known to fans because of his unique voice.

It was still this year that Fei Yuqing, who was asked to sing [Yi Jian Mei] wherever he went, could finally replace this old song that had been singing for more than ten years. As soon as he sang with Zhou Jielun, he was ranked on the top ten of the major music charts as soon as it was released.

In the face of so many classic songs, Zhou Xing's song [Love Transfer] is not very dazzling. The previous release was also because Zhou Xing has not appeared in the Chinese music scene for a long time, so it did not attract much attention from many fans.

"Or why should we play the ranking?" anli was a little unwilling.

To put it bluntly, the so-called rankings are buying data for public relations. Unless it is at the level of Zhou Jielun, other singers need to play the rankings when releasing records. Some so-called music rankings have already used this as a seller.

Zhou Xing waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this: "Forget it, I've already paid a lot of money to record this song. It's better to just use the money from the rankings to promote it."

"Okay, since you don't care, then just do it." Anli has been in Beijing for many years, not only has she spoke Mandarin better and better, but her accent has changed. Many people in the circle even think that she is a mainlander.

This is reality. Many things are not necessarily resulted if you do them.

"By the way, I will participate in the disciple's publicity soon. Is the schedule of [Love Call Transfer] set?" The disciple's publicity is not easy at all. Zhou Xing wants to run between the two places, and Er Dongsheng still cares about the Xiangjiang market very much.

"Well, February 13th, the day before Valentine's Day."

This is also the data obtained through survey companies. In recent years, with China joining WTO, the Chinese market has gradually opened up to overseas capital, and more and more foreign festivals have begun to affect young people. In the 1990s, if you talk to people about Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, you will probably be considered crazy.

However, in less than ten years, giving flowers, gifts and chocolates on Valentine's Day has become the most normal love behavior in the eyes of contemporary young people.

[Love Call Transfer] The release time chosen is actually quite gimmick. On Valentine's Day, young men and women took to the streets, had dinner, and watched movies. Love movies naturally became the first choice.

However, what Zhou Xing did not expect was that Er Dongsheng actually took a fancy to this day, and [Disciples] was scheduled to be released on February 13.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this schedule?" Er Dongsheng saw that Zhou Xing's expression was different and couldn't help asking.

Zhou Xing did not hide it either.

After hearing this, Er Dongsheng joked: "How is it? It's still time to withdraw the file."

"Brother Sheng, you should worry about yourself. Anyway, I am a small-cost movie. If you can get 20 million in the box office, you will be able to guarantee your capital. [Disciple] is different. Otherwise, you should withdraw the file, right? Be careful of capsizing in the gutter." Zhou Xing retaliated.

"Tsk, just kidding, then we will rely on our strength to see who will laugh to the end." Er Dongsheng is still very confident in [Disciples].

Zhou Xing laughed and said, "Why do you want to make a bet?"

"Okay, how do you bet?"

"It is definitely incomparable to compare the box office. Why not see who can guarantee the capital first? How about betting on a bottle of good wine?" Zhou Xing looked confident.

Er Dongsheng laughed and scolded: "You're a slippery person, but I'll agree to this bet, so you can prepare a bar. Then I will let you taste it at the celebration banquet. The wine won by this bet is the best taste."

"Then I'm not so generous. I'll take it back and hide it. When there is a happy event, I'll take it out and drink it." Zhou Xing replied.

"Tsk, stingy."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

On February 13, the day before Valentine's Day, [Disciples] and [Love Call Transfer] were released on the same day, but the treatment was very different. The number of films of [Disciples] reached 43%, while the number of films of [Love Call Transfer] was only 18%. This is still the case when there are not many films released at the end of the New Year holiday.

Compared with the publicity offensive of famous directors and big-name stars, [Love Call Transfer] is very inconspicuous in the films released at the same time. In this era, the box office appeal of female stars is still not comparable to that of male stars. Moreover, in terms of status, Fan Bingbing and others are far from comparable to Zhou Xing, Wu Yaozu and others.

The premiere of [Disciples] officially began. Zhou Xing sat next to Er Dongsheng, but he was thinking about the other side. After all, [Disciples] is just a job, and no matter how high the box office is, he has no dime to do with him. [Love Call Transfer] is not only his full investment, but also the first movie after the establishment of "Zhixing Film and Television". If this step is done well, the future will be much easier. On the contrary, if the box office fails, he will become a joke in the circle.

All derogatory words such as "overestimating one's own abilities" and "self-righteousness" will be attached to Zhou Xing. This is what the entertainment industry has always been like.

"Don't be so nervous, just a bottle of wine." Er Dongsheng comforted with a smile.

Zhou Xing looked up at the big screen: "That's right, just a bottle of wine."

After the opening animation, the picture changed and the film officially began. Wu Yaozu sat on the sofa and fell into memories, leading to the story. The mainland version and the Xiangjiang version were actually shot separately. In the Xiangjiang version, Ali was wearing a police uniform, while the mainland version was wearing a casual outfit.

The reason for this is that after Ali recovered from his identity as a policeman, he also had psychological problems.

His line: Is it terrible or emptiness? I even had the idea of ​​trying drugs, but was later stopped by the little girl.

In fact, Zhou Xing was surprised that he could pass the review of such a shot. After all, public officials cannot do bad things. This is the unspoken rule for mainland film review, let alone trying drugs?

The footage editing of [Disciple] adheres to the obvious Er Dongsheng style, which is fast and neat. In just a few minutes of the shot, it clearly shows how Ali controls drug dealers to get goods.

Later, Ali's undercover identity was revealed, but since [Infernal Affairs], such undercover plots have become too common and are not considered novel.

Zhou Xing's appearance in the hospital also made the audience clear. He is the drug lord undercover in Ali, but what really made the audience's eyes shine is Afen played by Zhang Jingchu. I have to admit that from appearance, temperament to acting, Afen is her pinnacle work.

Especially the passionate scene between her and Ali made many male audiences subconsciously swallow their saliva.

Afterwards, the drug lord played by Zhou Xing was asked casually by Ali: Where is the white powder?

Zhou Xing turned his head to look at him, and Ali asked: Why do people take drugs?

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Business is about supply and demand. Some people buy it and some sell it. Smoking can cause cancer. Different people smoke? Do I do publicity? I don't."

"It's not me who forced them. I didn't force them. What does it have to do with me? It's all their fault."

This drama was released simultaneously in Xiangjiang, and many critics praised Zhou Xing's performance.

Brother Kun naturally knew what an addict looked like, so he warned Ali not to believe those addicts. He also knew that he was committing evil. This set of rhetoric was not actually for Ali to listen to, but his self-hypnosis, because only in this way can he withstand the condemnation of his conscience.

A lie that is told ten thousand times is the truth, but lies are always just lies. Brother Kun is very clear, so his reaction is so great.

Zhou Xing's performance fully demonstrates the process of Brother Kun from self-hypnosis to guilt, to anger and shame.

"This performance is worth a Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards!"
