Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 31 Unexpected
On February 2th, the movie "Junior and Brother" produced by Golden Harvest Film Company and starring Jackie Chan was promoted in the commercial time of Li's TV station.

Similar to the movies "Modern Bodyguard" and "Chasing Girls", they are all edited and played highlights.

Relatively speaking, Golden Harvest is richer and richer.It was replayed ten times throughout the day, which was even bigger than the original "Modern Bodyguard".The most important thing is that this movie is still the favorite action movie genre of local fans in Hong Kong!
Suddenly, Golden Harvest and Jackie Chan became the focus of media attention.

Fast forward to February 2th.

Golden Harvest's publicity for the movie "Junior and Brother" not only did not decrease, but intensified.Even at noon, there was sudden news that a midnight screening of the movie would be held tomorrow night.

When Su Cheng heard the news, he shook his head and laughed without any worry.He originally thought that Jiahe was very courageous, but unexpectedly, he would be a "deserter", after all, he was not confident!

That being the case, why engage in publicity methods like theirs?

The reason why later generations promote the movie in this way, even using the theme song of the movie, is all because of creating a sense of mystery, tension, excitement, and fans' desire to find out.

But when the midnight show comes, these moments are gone.

However, the current movie fans are not as "high-sighted" as the later generations after all. Maybe, the promotional model of Golden Harvest will make the box office soar.

But Su Cheng believed that even if "Junior Brother" was successful, it would be impossible to surpass the box office of "Modern Bodyguard".Presumably, whether it can surpass "Chasing Girls" is unknown.

why?It's all because the release date of "Junior and Brother" is more than a week longer than that of "Chasing Girls"!
However, in the current situation, whoever wins and who loses depends entirely on God's will!
……

On February 2, "Junior and Brother" was screened at Golden Harvest Cinemas as scheduled.

Although I watched this movie in my previous life, I still have very few memories.Due to Uncle Wu's proposal at home, Su Cheng took Liu Qing, Xiao Amin and the others to a theater that was closer to their home.

Since the tickets had already been bought, they didn't wait long before they entered the theater.

Not to mention, whether it's Golden Harvest's recent publicity or Jackie Chan's popularity, in short, this "premiere" can be regarded as a complete success.Full attendance.

After a while, the movie officially begins.

First, there is a lion dance duel.Wait until Zhengfeng Wuguan, represented by Jackie Chan, loses the game.In addition, after the inside story was exposed that it was their senior brother who took the place of their opponent, their master and curator became furious.

First, the elder brother left the martial arts hall in a fit of anger, and then the younger brother played by Jackie Chan let out a fit of anger and left angrily.

In order to survive, the senior brother even robbed the prison car with the gangsters and rescued the golden feet.

Jackie Chan is looking for his senior brother, and on the way he meets the fourth brother played by Yuen Biao, Sangong and his family.Since several of them are martial arts masters, Jackie Chan also learned a lot of new kung fu, including the "skirt kung fu".

When fighting against several villains, he also used it flexibly, leading to a big defeat of the opponent.

Overall, it gives Su Cheng an action comedy that hasn't broken away from martial arts routines.

The reason for saying this is because the movements are relatively tough.Compared with more mature films such as "Five Lucky Stars", "Fast Food Truck" and "Police Story" starring Jackie Chan, the difference is too much!

Looking at the fans who occasionally applauded and shouted "Okay!", "Enjoyed", "That's how it should be!", Su Cheng knew that even if the film had obvious flaws, the lovely audience would still praise it.

At least, the box office can be guaranteed!
……

The next day.

When the premiere box office of the movie "Junior and Brother" reached 43 Hong Kong dollars, it shocked a large group of people.

You know, the original "Modern Bodyguard" was less than 30 Hong Kong dollars!Is this another movie worth more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars?
Is the Xiangjiang film market about to rise?

However, just as they were celebrating, Su Cheng was sitting on the sofa at home, lost in thought.After a long time, he sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's because I don't have enough stamina!"

If only "Junior Brother Goes Out" is released, maybe the box office this time will be higher than what he knew in his previous life. Unfortunately, there are also "Modern Bodyguard" and "Chasing Girls" in theaters now! "Junior Brother Out of the Horse" wants to ride the dust, but there is not much hope.

What's more, today's box office of "Modern Bodyguard" has accumulated to 1378 million Hong Kong dollars. (It was released for 23 days.) The cumulative box office of "Chasing Girls" was 511 million Hong Kong dollars. (It will be released for 9 days.)
It's too difficult for "Junior Brother Going Out" to catch up!
Just when Su Cheng was engrossed, Liang Shuyi called and said immediately: "Boss, Wireless is pressing again. They have already bid 1000 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Su Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses.Perhaps it was because of Golden Harvest's "Junior and Brother", which made Run Run Shaw feel threatened.What he wants to suppress right now is Jiahe, and he is afraid that if there is any further delay, there will be accidents.

Furthermore, the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" is already approaching 1400 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if it pays 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, I am afraid that it will be profitable by then. This account can be calculated.

And such a movie brought Shaw Brothers more than just profit.Perhaps, they can also let those distribution companies package and take away many of their Shaw Brothers films. Wouldn't this be another big profit?
After thinking about it, I feel that the price is neither high nor low.Su Cheng said: "Then sign the contract at this price. However, Manager Liang, there is an actress named Hui Hongying in Shaw Brothers, she is a rare actress who goes on and on. Before she made her fortune in Shaw Brothers, Sign as many as possible."

The current Tengyue entertainment company's artists are very short of such action movie stars.This is one of the reasons why Su Cheng dug Sammo Hung.As for actresses, it is even more rare.Such as Brigitte Lin, Michelle Yeoh, Hui Hongying, Zhang Peipei, Yuan Qiu and a few others.

Brigitte Lin is flourishing in Wandao, and will not come to Xiangjiang for the time being.Michelle Yeoh is still studying abroad.After Zhang Peipei got married, she withdrew from the film industry.Yuan Qiu is the senior sister of Hong Jinbao and others, and it won't be too late to invite after the Hong family class is taken down.In this way, only Hui Hongying is left, who is currently in Shaw Brothers and has not yet become famous for "The Elders"!

Although she didn't know who this Hui Hongying was, since she was an artist admired by the boss Su Cheng, Liang Shuyi nodded naturally: "Okay, boss! I will definitely handle this matter well!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng smiled faintly.It seems that his initial move was correct.Cooperate with Shaw Brothers and let it continue to confront Golden Harvest.In this way, their Tengyue entertainment company can develop rapidly.
