Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 971 Shining On The Stage
Since it is the first important schedule of the successful cinema chain, Pan Disheng is naturally unwilling to surrender.

Before the movie was released, he specially called Tsui Hark over and asked about the movie "Shanghai Night" carefully.

This was already the nth time that Pan Disheng called Tsui Hark, and the questions he asked were almost the same.

"Mr. Pan, judging from the lineup of the two films, we didn't lose too much to "Little Life", but from the deeper aspects of the two films, I think "Shanghai Night" is even better. .”

Although Tsui Hark has not watched the drama "Little Life is Scared", judging from the name, he can be sure that this drama will continue the funny style of the previous New Art City.

Even if horror elements are added, it's just a layer of clothing, at best it's a gimmick.

Different from "Xiao Sheng Afraid", this "Shanghai Night" I filmed has tears in my laughter, a sense of history, and a sense of vicissitudes. It is not just a funny movie.

Regarding the restoration of the old Shanghai scenes, Tsui Hark can be said to have done everything he could.

Produced as much as possible, excellent actors, coupled with a mature script, Tsui Hark can be said to have great confidence in his "Shanghai Night".

"This is the first official match between Baocheng Cinemas and Xiangjiang Cinemas. I hope you can come back with a good fortune."

Although he said so, Pan Disheng was still dubious about what Tsui Hark said just now.

But in the end, the film still depends on the box office. When the film is released, it will be able to verify whether these points that Tsui Hark is optimistic about will be accepted by the audience.

If it fails to pass the box office verification, it means that Tsui Hark is just talking to himself, and what he shoots is not what the audience likes to watch.

On the other hand, the propaganda offensive of "Little Life is Scared" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace" has also come to an end.

And at this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly encountered a somewhat embarrassing thing.

That is "Little Life Is Scared" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace". The premieres of these two plays were held on the same day.

Although it is not the scale of walking the red carpet, the director and the leading actors are all going to show up.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought about whether he would go to support Li Hanxiang's "Burning the Old Summer Palace". After all, he had to suffer a lot in order to make this play.

But because of the things that happened before, if I go to support "Burning the Old Summer Palace" at this time, I'm afraid it will arouse other people's associations.

You must know that Lin Daoqiu was frequently reported before, and he got very close to leftist filmmakers, and even began to doubt his position.

It hasn't been long since the limelight has passed, if I suddenly run to stand on the stage for the drama "Burning the Old Summer Palace", I'm afraid the old story will be brought up again.

Although the tabloids in Xiangjiang no longer dare to provoke him easily, they can't prevent those who want to think about him.

And on Treasure Island, he has already provoked the eldest son, and may even have been paid attention to by Treasure Island.

So Lin Daoqiu decided that one thing more is worse than one thing less, and Li Hanxiang will not go there.

Since he didn't go to support Li Hanxiang, Lin Daoqiu naturally wouldn't favor one person over another, he didn't even go to "Xiao Sheng Afraid".

The night before Christmas was Christmas Eve, Lin Daoqiu couldn't sit still at home, so he simply took Brigitte Lin out after dinner.

"Didn't you have dinner just now?"

Lin Qingxia felt very strange, she had already had dinner at home, Lin Daoqiu took her out, did he plan to eat it again?
"I'm not an idiot, how can I eat so much, I'll take you to the movies tonight."

"Is it "Burning the Old Summer Palace" or "Xiao Sheng Afraid"?"

These two plays were both produced by New Oriental, and Lin Qingxia took it for granted that Lin Daoqiu was going to take her to see one of these two plays.

"Neither, what we are going to watch is "Shanghai Night."

Lin Daoqiu's answer surprised Brigitte Lin, and she turned her head directly to the other party.

You must know that the movie "Shanghai Night" is a movie produced by Dibao, and it was Tsui Hark, the traitor of New Oriental who made the movie.

Lin Daoqiu chose to watch "Shanghai Night" at this time. What exactly did he want to do?
"Why are you so surprised? Do you think I'm going to take you to make trouble?"

Lin Daoqiu smiled and shook his head.

But what he didn't expect was that he just said it casually, but Brigitte Lin showed a serious expression, as if he took his words seriously.

"I don't know what kind of expression Tsui Hark and the others will have when they see you later."

Lin Qingxia didn't bother to care so much. She had heard of the drama "Shanghai Night" before, and she planned to watch it sometime in the future, but today was a coincidence.

"We bought tickets to go to the theater. As for what they think, is it important?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't care what Tsui Hark and the others thought at all, he just simply didn't want to stay at home, so he pulled Lin Qingxia out to watch a movie.

If it weren't for the fact that "Shanghai Night" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace" were not easy to go to, he wouldn't have gone to support Tsui Hark.

This time Lin Daoqiu did not go out with much fanfare, nor did he let someone drive his Rolls Royce out, but changed to a black Mercedes-Benz.

After driving near the Emerald Theater, Lin Daoqiu chose to get out of the car and walk there on foot.

At this time, at the gate of the Emerald Theater, a group of reporters were surrounding Tsui Hark, Zhong Zhentao, Xiao Fangfang and others from "Shanghai Night".

This time, there are quite a few stars who came to support "Shanghai Night", Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Xu Guanwen, Cen Jianxun, Shi Tian, ​​Zeng Zhiwei, and many other stars, Pan Disheng and Wu Siyuan followed closely behind.

Outside the Emerald Theater at this time, it can be said that the stars are shining, everyone is talking and laughing, and the atmosphere on the scene looks very happy.

If this process is followed, the invited reporters should write a bunch of useless nonsense on the headline of tomorrow's newspaper.

In addition to introducing the stars who are present, it is the expectations of Tsui Hark and the leading actors for this drama.

At this moment, someone hurriedly ran to Pan Disheng's side and whispered something in his ear.

Because of the noisy surroundings, Pan Disheng couldn't hear what the man said clearly.

"Speak up, I can't hear you."

"Boss, Mr. Lin and Miss Lin are here."

Pan Disheng didn't react at the beginning, he looked at the other party with a puzzled face, but he couldn't figure out who Mr. Lin and Ms. Lin were.

But soon, when Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin appeared in their eyes, Pan Disheng was petrified.

And not only Pan Disheng, but the stars around them, after seeing Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin, their eyes widened and their faces were full of shocked expressions.

The reporters at the scene were the most excited. They were the first to react. They were originally surrounded by Tsui Hark and the others, but in a blink of an eye, this group of people immediately ran to surround Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin.
