Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 516 Continue to lead the award
With the premiere of "Fast and Furious 2" in Hong Kong, with the influence of "Fast and Furious", the appeal of He Jin and Andy Lau, as well as the huge premiere promotion, more audiences know this movie, and Went into the theater to watch.

On January 2th alone, "Fast and Furious [-]" was screened in [-] theaters. In one day, it earned a single-day box office of [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

This is one of the highest-grossing figures for a movie starring non-Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow, second only to the 2 million of "God of Gamblers [-]" released last month.

They are also sequels, and they are also popular commercial themes in recent years.

The influence of "God of Gamblers 2" is much higher.

In the entire God of Gamblers series, apart from Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau and Stephen Chow have made outstanding contributions to the expansion of the influence of the entire series.

It is no exaggeration to say that the "God of Gamblers" series should be the most successful series in recent years.

Although this series is not a series, it is just under the guise of being a series, the real situation is that several films that are only slightly related interact.

But it does not affect the status of this series in the hearts of the audience.

In contrast, Fast and Furious is indeed a good movie, but the interval between its releases is too short.

It was so short that its influence hadn't expanded further, and the second part was released again.

Under the circumstances that the accumulation of word-of-mouth has not yet reached a certain level, the box office of "Fast and Furious 2" was able to earn 2 million yuan on the first day under the impact of "God of Gamblers [-]", and won the single-day box office champion. It is a very happy thing.

"The core of this film is not actually the drag racing, action and cop-gang confrontations we see on the surface.

In my opinion, this is a film that combines the best of all the above factors.

Whether it's drag racing, fighting scenes, or the confrontation between good and evil between police and gangsters, I have seen a factor that the previous Xiangjiang movies did not have.

This factor I call the "tough guy factor."

Throughout the film, there is a tough guy style that makes people soar with adrenaline.

This kind of film, in the entire history of Xiangjiang, I have only seen this style in Bruce Lee and Chow Yun-fat's "The True Colors of a Hero".

I don't know how many people have watched the films of Stallone and Schwarzenegger in Europe and America.

If anyone has seen it, he will definitely agree with me.

Because Stallone, Schwarzenegger and others follow this tough guy style.

It is also this style that makes them well-known action superstars in Europe and America.

And the performance of He Jin and Andy Lau in this film, let me see a new way out for action movies.

The hard bridge and hard horse but the fighting that breaks away from the iconic martial arts routines and the racing plot that stimulates the adrenaline of men all make me feel that this film has a feeling of going out to the world.

I heard that New Line Films of the United States has won the North American release rights of "Fast and Furious 1", and they will choose to release this film in North America this year.

Here, I sincerely hope that this film can enter the world and let our film appear on the world stage again. "

"The plot design is very novel, the characters fight to the flesh, and every drag racing in the play creates a very tense and exciting feeling. This is a must-see movie for men."

"A movie that is very refreshing after watching it without peeing. Although there is nothing worth exploring in terms of art, it is undoubtedly a movie worth watching in terms of business."

The next day, the film reviews of "Fast and Furious" from major newspapers came out one after another.

The reviews have been rave, with many critics giving the film an eight or nine.

Of course, no one is perfect, and the same is true for movies. If there are good reviews, there will naturally be bad reviews.

"The whole process of selling meat, after the whole film, Andy Lau took off his shirt three times to show his muscles, He Jin took off his shirt twice, and the other actors were sometimes shirtless.

I sometimes wonder, is this a Japanese welfare film? "

"Xiangjiang movies are being looked down upon more and more because there are more movies without a trace of artistic content."

Compared with good reviews, there are bad reviews, but they are very few. Almost as soon as they appear, they are submerged in the good reviews. Even if there are some, Huaren Film and Television will immediately start public relations and remove them from the newspaper.

As a result, starting from the [-]th, the reports on "Fast and Furious" in the entire Xiangjiang film magazine were all positive.

At the same time, with the help of the premiere ceremony attended by a huge star lineup, "Fast and Furious" has aroused strong attention in Hong Kong and even Asia.

In the next few days, the box office data of "Fast and Furious" has been booming all the way.

In a week, "God of Gamblers 2" snatched back the single-day box office champion for only one day.

On the 2th, "Fast and the Furious" won the box office championship of the week with [-] million figures, beating "God of Gamblers [-]" with [-] million figures.

And just when "Fast and Furious" was killing the market and leading the racing boom again, He Jin devoted himself to the recording of his album.

At noon on the [-]th, all Korean songs were recorded.

For the next five days, he has been filming the MV.

Of course, he also had other things in it.

On the night of the 1994th, he and Zhou Huimin who returned to Xiangjiang attended the [-] Xiangjiang Top Ten Golden Songs.

The process of this year's top ten songs is no different from the previous ones, but the number of songs shortlisted for the top ten songs has changed from ten to twelve.

In other words, there are twelve songs in the top ten songs this year.

The twelve songs are:

He Jin: "Goodbye Is Tears"

He Jin: "The King of Karaoke"

Andy Lau: "Who Knows"

Jacky Cheung: "I waited until the flowers withered"

Liming: "The Day I Miss You"

Aaron Kwok: "The Temptation of the Iron Curtain"

Emil Chow: "Who Did You Marry Last Night"

Zhou Huimin: "Favorite"

Faye Wong: "Dream Man"

Ye Qianwen: "The Weakness of Women"

Peng Ling: "Let Me Follow You"

Shuyi Kwan: ​​"Under the Starlight"

He Jin continued the advantage of having one more song from other singers in the previous two sessions, and became the biggest winner of this session's Top Ten Golden Songs with two nominations.

Judging from the list of twelve shortlisted songs, the five heavenly kings still continue to dominate the top ten golden songs.

Of the twelve songs, the five heavenly kings accounted for six.

However, this rule has gradually decreased compared to previous years.

In the past two years, whether it was the top ten songs or the top ten Chinese, the five kings almost accounted for more than half.

Even, in the first two years, no singer other than the five heavenly kings could squeeze in. In addition, even female singers survived in their cracks.

But this year, not only Emilia Chow entered the top ten songs, but in terms of female singers, besides Faye Wong, Vivian Chow, and Ye Qianwen, there were also new faces including Guan Shuyi and Peng Ling.

The previous top ten songs and top ten Chinese golden songs lists, at a glance, are all five heavenly kings.

And this year, it seems that there is already a trend of contention among schools of thought.

In addition to the top ten golden songs, it can be seen that the rule of the five heavenly kings has become weak, and other awards can also be clearly seen.

The other award recipients are:

In other awards, He Jin won the most popular Hong Kong male singer award in the Asia-Pacific region, the silver award for the most popular Mandarin song, and the silver award for the most popular chorus song.

But among the five heavenly kings, apart from him, only Andy Lau won the gold award for the most popular Mandarin song for "Forgetting Love", and Liming's "I Don't Think About You That Day" won the best composition. The other heavenly kings did not win any other awards .

"The reign of the five heavenly kings has come to an end."

This is a report published by the New Times newspaper.

In the article, they pointed out that the era when the five heavenly kings ruled the music scene in Xiangjiang is almost over.

Next year, there may be newcomers replacing old ones, who will squeeze out the five heavenly kings.

And this news coupled with the presentation of the awards has indeed attracted the attention of many people.

When He Jin and Zhou Huimin left, the reporter asked him who he thought might be replaced by a newcomer.

Regarding this question, even if someone will be replaced, He Jin will not answer.

This is so offensive.

Moreover, according to He Jin's past life memories, some of the other four heavenly kings will not develop well in the late 90s, but in the following years, none of them missed several major awards.

Although the dominance of the four heavenly kings did become very weak in the late 90s.

But the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse.

Throughout the late 90s, although a bunch of Taiwanese singers rose up, such as Zhang Huimei, Zhang Xinzhe, Wu Bai, Ren Xianqi and so on.

But the status of the Four Heavenly Kings of Xiangjiang did not drop because of their impact.

Therefore, He Jin said: "There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. I like this poem by great men very much.

I also really hope someone can replace me! "

He Jin didn't comment on whether other people would be squeezed out by newcomers, but said that he hoped someone could challenge his position.

The awarding of several major music awards in Hong Kong is crowded together, and this year is no exception.

After the Top Ten Golden Songs were held on the [-]th, on the [-]th and [-]th, the awards for the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs and the music scene were also announced.

IFPI Award for Best Music Album: "Water of Forgetfulness" (Andy Lau)
The Supreme Music Creation/Song Award: "Goodbye Is Tears" (He Jin)

Compared with the top ten songs, the top ten Chinese golden songs and the top ten awards, the rule of the five heavenly kings is still the same.

Especially He Jin, his dominance over the major awards this year is stronger than in previous years.

Although he only won one of the top ten Chinese golden songs, one less than Andy Lau's two.

But this does not mean that he is not as good as Andy Lau.

On the contrary, in other heavyweight awards, he almost beat others.

And the reason why he was shortlisted for one.

What He Jin heard was that the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony felt that he had been too popular in the past few years and wanted to suppress it.

Sweeping is the last thing the organizers of the awards want to see.

This will cause aesthetic fatigue to the public.

Moreover, in recent years, the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards have become more and more influential, which has seriously threatened the top ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards in the Chinese-speaking region.

So they need gimmicks.

It will undoubtedly be a good gimmick for He Jin to be shortlisted for only one song.
