Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 221 The summer season where gods fight
"Zhang...Mr. Zhang, I didn't know it was you."

After seeing Zhang Yang's face clearly, Minister Liu's expression froze.

He stood up in a panic, with a hurried smile on his face.

But how could Zhang Yang pay any attention to the fake smile he showed afterward.

"Remember what I just said?" Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows and asked again.

Minister Liu suddenly understood, turned his head hurriedly, nodded and bowed to Wu Yusen.

"Mr. Wu, I didn't know that you made an appointment with Mr. Zhang today. I'm just looking down on you. I'm sorry, Mr. Wu. We were colleagues before, so please don't argue with me. I promise that in the future I will never talk about your affairs again. I am a person with little knowledge, unlike Mr. Wu who does big things..."

Maybe it's driven by the survival instinct.

Minister Liu hurriedly showed off his ability to speak like a lotus flower. A series of words made Wu Yusen a little stunned. The anger in his chest could not be rekindled, so he could only wave his hands in disgust.

Seeing Wu Yusen's actions, Minister Liu felt like he was being pardoned and hurriedly moved aside. As he left, he did not forget to glance at Zhang Yang's expression. Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't seem to care about him, he felt relieved.

It's really bad luck to fuck his old mother. When did Wu Yusen climb the big tree of Zhang Yang?

Bad luck, really bad luck!
However, Zhang Yang is also a nouveau riche with no vision. After making money from a few movies, he is in a state of disbelief. He actually wants to support a loser like Wu Yusen. Now in the Hong Kong film and television industry, who doesn’t know that he is a loser? Humph, support him now, and you will secretly scold him later!I'll pay you to death then, you bastard!
Unconvinced and secretly shouting, Minister Liu from Jiahe left in despair.

Zhang Yang sat down again, looking at Wu Yusen who lowered his head in silence, and didn't know how to comfort him.

After all, he was a boxer, so if he was asked to brag and give a speech to tens of thousands of people, he would have no problem, but if he was asked to comfort others, it would be really difficult for him.

Fortunately, they are all grown men, so Wu Yusen doesn't need anyone else to comfort him.

Rubbing his face hard with his hands, Zhou Runfa and others happened to have arrived. Wu Yusen immediately stood up to greet them, and then led Zhang Yang, Fa Zai and others straight to the box.

A meal can be described as a feast for the guests and the host.

Perhaps because of the unpleasant encounter downstairs, Wu Yusen drank a little too much, but he didn't lose his temper because of it. He just fell into a deep sleep. Zhang Yang asked someone to call a car and arranged for the other party to send Wu Yusen back. Finally, he also left the hotel.

……

Next, the intense filming of "A Better Tomorrow" continues. At the same time, Du Qifeng's second masterpiece after "Underworld", "Dark War", has also officially begun to be released in Deyang Cinemas.Although compared to their previous lives, Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun at this time were still relatively unknown, but with Du Qifeng's signature, they still attracted a large number of moviegoers on the day of the movie's premiere, rushing to the cinema. Viewing.

Liu Qingyun was born to be a movie star. Although he is still a little green at this time, his naturally mature appearance still allows him to control the characters easily. As for Andy Lau, he is dark and tragic. This is his natural charm, playing the killer Hua Hua. For him, he is basically acting in his true colors, and naturally there are no flaws at all.

The most important thing about the film "Dark War" is the strength of the two leading actors. Now that the two leading actors are strong enough, the quality of the film will naturally not be low either. Therefore, after the filming of the film was completed, it immediately won the attention of the audience. unanimously praised.

The audience's enthusiastic response to the film also immediately inspired the two people who secretly went to the theater to watch the premiere reaction, especially Liu Dehua, who has had many difficulties since "The Wrath of the Sea". This film , and it swept away all the troubles and haze he had encountered in the film industry in recent years.

In the end, "Dark War" had a box office of 660 million in the first week and a final box office of 330 million, a perfect ending.

Although "Dark War" failed to catch up with "Underworld" in terms of box office data, this film directly made Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun's popularity soar by several orders of magnitude, and the results are obvious. .

At the same time, more importantly, the success of "Dark War" also announced that everything Du Qifeng achieved in Deyang Cinema was not accidental, but was actually due to his ability. At this point, it can be regarded as an official announcement that after Zhang Yang's personal exit , Deyang Cinema Line has welcomed its second core force that can serve as a box office guarantee!
But this is not over yet. With the release of "Dark War" in Deyang Cinema, "A Better Tomorrow" filmed by Wu Yusen has also officially been completed. Now, together with Chen Jiashang, he personally sits in the office of Yingyang Entertainment. Busy with the post-editing work of the film.

Due to the insufficient film supply capacity of Debao Pictures, it announced to Zhang Yang in advance that it would give up the August schedule. This also means that after the film editing is completed, "A Better Tomorrow" will be officially scheduled for summer release in early August. Theatrical release.

However, this summer season is not an ideal period. It can even be described as a wolf before and a tiger behind.

This is not an exaggeration, it is just the way it is.

In mid-July, it was "Happy Ghost's Summer Vacation", the second part of Huang Baiming's Happy Ghost series, and in mid-August, it was "Summer Lucky Star", the third part of the Five Lucky Stars series from Golden Harvest, with Hong Jinbao withdrawing.

Since Mecca gave up on "The Best Partner" and Chenglong managed "Plan A" during the transition period, Zhang Yang can say without hesitation that these two films are now the most popular at the box office under New Art City and Golden Harvest. Power’s trump card IP.

No matter which one is taken individually, it is a work that is competitive in the top ten box office of the year.

In this summer season, it is not an exaggeration to say that gods are fighting.

But the films produced by these two companies sound great, so will the films released by Yingyang Company necessarily be inferior?
So what if it's a fight between gods?
Whoever quits this summer movie is no longer a god!

Seeing that the filming of "A Better Tomorrow" was coming to an end, Zhang Yang directly asked people to put up a banner in front of the gate of Deyang Cinema, launched a publicity campaign, and unhesitatingly scheduled the film for August. number 8.

This time, he didn't plan to be sneaky. He just wanted to make Golden Harvest and New Art City ready, and then watch his own movie in front of his eyes. In this summer season where everyone was full of confidence...he lost miserably!
At the same time, he will also use this opportunity to break Jiahe's overseas distribution blocking strategy in one fell swoop!
