Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 20 Depressed Cinema

Back at Su Residence at night, Uncle Wu suggested: "Master, it's a big festival, do you want to go out and watch a movie?"

In the past, this festival didn't matter.But today is different.Because of Su Cheng's generosity and kindness, neither Aunt Zhang nor Amin went home.Aunt Zhang is here to help.And Xiao Amin is practicing there assiduously according to the teacher's teaching!Tired, but also to play the piano.

Including Wu Zheng who was on vacation, Liu Qing and others who followed, the total number was nearly 20!

Going to the movies is also entertainment.

After thinking about it, Su Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Wu!"

Turn around and ask people to find out what movies are showing in the theater.

Not long after, Liu Qing reported back.

After listening, Su Cheng was surprised.He also didn't expect that Hong Kong theaters in this era are not much better than those in later generations!"Hong Wending Three Breaks the White Lotus" produced by Shaw Brothers is currently being screened.Produced by Golden Harvest, "Lin Shirong" starring Sammo Hung.No Moves, No Moves, Produced by Silver Films Films.

In addition, there is also "Crazy Mantis" produced by East Asia Film Company, which has already held a midnight show and will be released soon."Serpentine Walking" produced by Bandung Films.The movies "Wrong First Step" and "God Drive, Ancient Temple" imported from Wandao.

After asking several people for their opinions, it was finally decided to watch "Lin Shirong".

Compared with Su Cheng, a later generation, Xiao Amin, Liu Qing, they all know that there is a Jackie Chan "Drunken Master" in kung fu movies, which is about the young Huang Feihong.And the protagonist in the film "Lin Shirong" studied under Huang Feihong.Its actor is Jackie Chan's brother.

It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that the two films were both directed and shot by Yuan Heping after a year.It is equivalent to descending in one continuous line.However, at the box office, Sammo Hung does not have as much appeal as Jackie Chan.

……

When he came to a movie theater owned by Golden Harvest, seeing the few people who bought tickets, Su Cheng smiled lightly.Nowadays, people still like to have happy family dinners. I am afraid that this pattern will be broken soon.It became the beginning of a box office explosion.

After buying some drinks and food, everyone entered the screening hall.

After a quick glance, the occupancy rate was less than [-]%. Even though the film was about to be released, there were too few people, right?
Shaking his head, it didn't take long for the film to officially start showing.

First of all, Lin Shirong played by Sammo Hung, nicknamed "Pork Rong", used funny performances to ask for "pork" with his colleagues.Then, they just like to be smart and meddle in their own business.But the bullied person reported to Gao Batian of Wulongtang.Immediately afterwards, there was a "kung fu contest" between Gao Batian and Huang Feihong.

When Huang Feihong went out to visit friends, Lin Shirong started to meddle in his own business again.Unfortunately, this time he helped the wrong person.He beat up his own younger brother Lin Shiguang, but let go of Gao Dahai, son of Gao Batian, who robbed his younger siblings.

Just when Lin Shirong was about to commit suicide, an old beggar with strong martial arts rescued him and began to punish the villain Gao Dahai.Then, he fought with Lin Shirong.

Then, things became clear.Lin Shirong and the old beggar started to save people.And because of meddling in other people's business, he rescued Gao Lanxin, Gao Batian's adopted daughter.Unexpectedly, Gao Dahai framed and murdered Gao Lanxin.

In the end, let Gao Batian break into Huang Feihong's Baozhilin.

After being seriously injured, Lin Shirong began to learn martial arts from the old beggar.Huangtian pays off, he is a master of martial arts.Gao Dahai was killed and Gao Batian was defeated.It revived the reputation of Bao Zhilin and Huang Feihong.

After watching the whole film, it is actually not much different from Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master".There are actually three reasons why the box office varies a lot.First, Drunken Master's moves are more attractive.Second, the role of the heroine is more and more delicate.Third, the protagonist's transformation from weak to strong is remarkable.You can see the difference at a glance.

After walking out of the movie theater, Su Cheng asked Uncle Wu and the others to go back first, and he took Liu Qing to find the fat Wang Jing directly.

……

In a small restaurant, Su Cheng handed the script "Beware of Little Hands" to Wang Jing, and said with great care: "Hong Jinbao's "Lin Shirong" will be drawn soon. This is the script for him. Special approval 300 Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars in production costs. Once profitable, 15% dividends. As for who is invited to participate, that is his director's business. Our company is only the producer. This is very important, do you understand?"

"Understood, boss!" Wang Jing asked suspiciously, "Is this too much?"

For Sammo Hung, Wang Jing claims to know a little bit about it. As far as the few films produced by his company, the box office has never exceeded 400 million Hong Kong dollars!The production cost is so high, can it be recovered?As for dividends, he only thought that Su Cheng didn't understand the film business.

After waving his hand, Su Cheng said lightly: "I know what's in my mind, you just do it. For the signing of the contract, let Hong Jinbao go to Manager Liang."

The reason why he took out this script in such a hurry was that Su Cheng thought of Jackie Chan's "Junior and Brother", which will break the box office of tens of millions in one fell swoop.Adding "Modern Bodyguard" produced by their Tengyue Entertainment Company, there are two movies with a box office of over 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Coupled with Wang Jing's filming speed, "Chasing Girls" will not be delayed too long, only "Happy Ghost" will be released at the end of February, during the Spring Festival.

With such a lively scene, Jackie Chan went to Hollywood to prepare for "The Killer", and Golden Harvest's remaining main player, Sammo Hung, naturally had to worry about him.Once "Beware of Little Hands" breaks the box office record of Jackie Chan's "Junior Brother", coupled with Wang Jing's flickering, even if Sammo Hung does not have trouble with Jackie Chan, presumably, he will split with Golden Harvest.

After all, the box office of the films Golden Harvest invested in for him was not high.High for Jackie Chan.The olive branch extended by Tengyue Entertainment is naturally better.

If he waited until the box office of "Killer's Trenches" was less than 600 million Hong Kong dollars, and he praised Sammo Hung again, presumably, Jackie Chan's resentment would be even worse.However, he is He Guanchang's adopted son after all, so he will not leave Jiahe so soon.

On the contrary, Sammo Hung, who has tasted the sweetness, may leave Golden Harvest and join their Tengyue Entertainment Company.

With such a "giant" above the "Kung Fu movie" joining in, the development of Tengyue Entertainment will directly leap to a new level.After all, Sammo Hung is not alone.He has a complete Hong family class!That Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Lin Zhengying, Wu Ma and others should not be underestimated!
As for whether Golden Harvest will target them?Su Cheng didn't mind at all.First, he already knew from Wang Jing how Boss Shao and Miss Fang treated them.What's more, the New Art City of Mai Jia and others may be established soon.

They are not the only opponents!
