Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 395 Who is the real sequel?
"In "Heroes and Glory 2", Brother Ma will fight in the world again!"

""Heroes 2" was created by the original team and shows the loyalty of the world."

"........."

One newspaper after another took money to promote "Heroes 2" and accompanied it with pictures.

The pictures mostly use big scenes such as explosions, pictures of walking in the firelight at the end, and handsome photos of Ma alone wearing black clothes and black sunglasses.

For a time, there were voices discussing "Heroes 2" in Hong Kong and mainland China.

on the bus.

"I must watch "Heroes 2" next Monday. I am a die-hard fan of "Heroes"."

"I will definitely go see it. I liked the last movie so much. It is said that this one has bigger scenes and more loyalty."

"I can't wait. I hope Monday comes around and I can watch the movie early."

The passengers were talking about it while reading the newspapers in their hands.

Similar scenes are everywhere, even in the nightclub, a place where people have fun, a few men chatted about "Heroes 2".

"Gee, I'm the most loyal person. I'm nicknamed Happy Horse Road Ponyboy! I'll drink this wine as soon as I want, but I just need to wait a little longer."

"You're a stupid kid, and no one is pointing a gun at your head to force you to drink."

"Tch, I'm the little guy on the horse racing track. If you don't accept it, keep drinking!"

Several men who were singing and drinking ignored the women around them and argued about who was the real brother.

But soon, there were a lot of media reports that "Heroes 2" had a new director. It was not a work by John Woo, and it did not count the original cast.

At the same time, there is also a lot of underestimation in the length of the film. Why is John Woo the soul of "Heroes"? Without John Woo, there would be no way to capture the sense of brotherly loyalty, and so on.

This type of report also has a certain market audience, but it does not have much impact overall.

Even in the future, the audience will still watch the celebrities, not the director.

Even though John Woo is already very famous, he still can't replace the main actors like Ponyboy and Brother Hao.

At the same time, Debao Pictures also started a grand promotion. They also borrowed the brand name of "Heroes" and used "Heroes" director John Woo as a selling point to promote the new film "Heroes Have No Tears".

Chen Huajiang was naturally rude about this, and asked his subordinates to find a lawyer and directly sue Debao Pictures for infringement, demanding an apology and an end to the infringement.

Who gave him the copyright of "Heroes"?

But it was useless in the short term. Dickson Pan was also a wealthy man and had arranged a team of lawyers to litigate.

This has also attracted media attention, and there have been a lot of reports on whether the two companies have infringed upon the promotion of "Heroes".

This has also brought more and more attention to the films of the two companies.

Who is the sequel to "Heroes" has also become the focus of curiosity among many Hong Kong people.

One is the original cast, the other is the original director, one is "Heroes 2", and the other is "Heroes Without Tears". Many people want to see who can shoot better.

"BOSS, Shaw Brothers rejected our screening request."

In the office, Chen Huajiang received a call from Li Min, with a bit of anger in his words.

The publicity is in place, and the next step is the release.

This aspect is relatively simple, just sign a distribution agreement with the theater chain.

However, there was a moth on the Shaw Brothers side, and the people from the Shaw Brothers Cinemas directly rejected the cooperation invitation, and ordered that "Heroes of Pride 2" not be arranged for a screen screening.

"You're really petty. Since Shaw Brothers won't accept them, just ignore them."

"By the way, have Jiahe and Princess Golden Cinema reached an agreement?"

Chen Huajiang curled his lips, naturally knowing why the Shaw Brothers were acting like this. It was obvious that the Shaw Brothers were targeting them because of what happened last time.

I just don’t know whether the person who calls the shots is Shao Yifu or Fang Yihua. Chen Huajiang thinks the latter is more likely. If Shao Yifu only has this kind of magnanimity, it will be difficult for him to develop to this day.

For businessmen, making money is the first priority, and grudges are the second priority. It is impossible for Shao Yifu not to understand this truth.

"Jiahe and Princess Jin have reached an agreement on a [-]-[-] split." Li Min said in a deep voice, his voice a little more relaxed.

"Okay, that's it." Chen Huajiang nodded and hung up the phone.

At present, the Kunlun Entertainment theater chain in his hands has taken shape, and 27 of the [-] theaters have been renovated, which is enough to ensure that they are not controlled by others.

But overall, the number is still small and will increase in the future.

In Chen Huajiang's mind, Kunlun Entertainment must at least ensure a theater ratio of 50.00% of the market to be considered normal and not be affected in any way in the future.

However, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. In this regard, we still need to take our time.

Moreover, Chen Huajiang does not plan to build a theater chain himself, but rather wants to acquire Shaw Brothers theater chain or other theater chains, because he has no overseas distribution channels.

This aspect is his shortcoming and must be made up for. Even if he builds his own cinema chain, he will still have to acquire the hair styling channels of other cinema chains in the end.

In this way, time passed day by day, and soon came Monday.

Double Dragon Cinema on Happy Race Road, a cinema owned by Golden Harvest here.

"Get a movie ticket for "Heroes 2"."

"I want a video of "Heroes Have No Tears."

"Here are two movie tickets for "Heroes 2"."

A crowd of spectators gathered around the ticket booth to buy tickets, while some filmmakers took their tickets and entered the theater directly.

The places they went to were screening rooms for "Heroes Have No Tears" because only Debao gave them tickets, and Kunlun Entertainment didn't buy their account at all.

The relationship between the two parties has not been good since the last episode of "The Young Man". Of course, Chen Huajiang would not let his subordinates hold them back.

On the other hand, Chen Huajiang knows that film critics will become increasingly powerless and less able to influence the audience's choices, so naturally there is no need to have a good relationship with them.

"Heroes Have No Tears" screening room.

"Humph, "Heroes 2" is definitely boring. The soul of a movie is the director. Without John Woo, the sequel is just a continuation of the dog's tail."

"That's right. Kunlun Entertainment Group doesn't know how to make movies at all. It's just a company founded by a nouveau riche who just made a lot of money."

"I prefer John Woo's style. His movies are not only romantic, but also a torture of human nature."

A group of film critics sat in the front row, holding pens and papers in each other's hands, chatting while the movie started.

Even before watching this movie, I have already begun to praise "Heroes Without Tears" and look down on "Heroes 2".

The audience comes in and the movie starts.

"Heroes Have No Tears" still follows the same old routine of John Woo's movies, which revolves around a gun battle between the good and the bad.

It's just that Wu Yusen has played tricks this time. The main line is not the killer, but the agent hired by the Eagle Country to help the Eagle Country catch the drug lord, on condition that his son and relatives are recommended to immigrate and study abroad.

In the future, it will definitely be a wrong view, but it is acceptable at the moment. After all, Hong Kong is still a colony where the sun never sets.
