Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 222 Killing through the summer season
"What are you talking about? Deyang Cinema put up a banner and put Wu Yusen's movie on the summer schedule?"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I get it, I get it."

Putting down the phone with a smile on his face, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but feel happy.

He really didn't expect that there were people in this world who didn't believe in evil like Zhang Yang.

Yes, the former Wu Yusen was great, a disciple of a famous director, and he also made successful films, but Zhang Yang, a brainless fool, didn't he understand one thing, that the times are changing?

Wu Yusen was able to make well-received and well-received films back then, but that doesn't mean he can do it today.

Otherwise, it would not be his turn to take over an industry like Shaw Brothers Pictures.

If this guy wants to lose money, you really can't stop him.

Originally, he was a little nervous when he heard from Minister Liu of the Approval Department that Zhang Yang had called Wu Yusen.

After all, although Wu Yusen's ability to make films is far inferior to that of the past, he still has some contacts in the industry. It would be really troublesome for him to give advice to theaters or production companies after relying on the big tree of Zhang Yang. threaten.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang actually asked him to direct and film a movie!
This brainless fool is a leader who really knows nothing. Even if he wanted to give Wu Yusen a chance, he could just find a random date like mid-April or November and let him try it out. Well, the cost is not high.

It's a good thing now. In such a hot summer holiday, I would drag such a loser out to carry the tripod. It would be strange if I don't pay to my death!

Zou Wenhuai leaned back in his chair leisurely, and the image of Zhang Yang's stupid decision made by Zhang Yang was described as a disastrous failure when the summer vacation ended.

Comfortable!

so comfy!

In so many years, Zhang Yang is the first bastard who was picked up by Jiahe, but chose to betray him. In contrast, watching him decline now is as enjoyable as watching his own movie, which took another 3000 million at the box office!
Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, just wait for your failure this time!

……

Time flies and it’s August.

At this time, the summer release of "Happy Ghosts Have a Summer Vacation" has been released for almost two weeks.

In the first week, the box office of this film has reached just over 620 million. Now after the second week, the box office has successfully exceeded 500 million. According to the predictions of major film review publications, the final box office of this film will be locked. Between 800 million and [-] million.

Although the 3000 million box office of "Lucky Star" at the beginning of the year has made the box office performance of more than 1000 million seem less dazzling, as a low-cost film, Huang Baiming's "Happy Ghost" series will never be more profitable than any 2000 film. Movies worth tens of thousands are much less.

It can be said that Xinyi City got off to a very difficult start in this summer season where gods fight.

Whether this trend can continue depends on whether the "A Better Tomorrow" promoted by Zhang Yang can reach a new height.

Midnight on March 8.

That night, in the theater of Deyang Cinema.

On the big screen, Xiao Ma was tapping his head with his fingers and speaking his lines with great emotion.

"Since that night, I swore that I would never ask anyone to point a gun at my head again in my life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly erupted in exclamations.

In a daze, movie fans seemed to see the Xu Wenqiang who once dominated Shanghai appearing in front of them again.

But there's obviously more to the film than meets the eye.As the plot progresses, in order to avenge Brother Hao, Xiao Ma single-handedly breaks into the enemy camp.

Under the poetic advancement of medium and slow close-ups, the fragments of debris stirred up by the bullets are like falling petals, setting off the pony's movements, making it look so heroic.

But with Brother Hao being released from prison, when the two met again, Xiao Ma's desolate appearance made people sigh again.

In the back alley of the bar, when his younger brother slapped Brother Hao against the wall, and Brother Hao said helplessly, "Officer, I haven't been a big brother for a long time," some viewers who were deeply involved in the drama couldn't help but choke up on the spot. stand up.

But the tragic scene did not end there.

His younger brother was injured and Xiao Ma was captured. Brother Hao worked hard to finally pull Xiao Ma back from the gate of hell. The two of them were sitting on the edge of the pier, facing Xiao Ma's last invitation. Brother Hao Still chose to refuse.

Xiao Ma couldn't bear it anymore, and then said a golden sentence in film history that people will never forget.

"Do you think I'm a beggar? I've endured it for three years just to wait for an opportunity!"

"I want to fight, not to prove to others that I am great, but to tell others that I must get back what I have lost!"

As Brother Ma on the big screen shouted these words with grief and indignation, the audience in the theater, especially those who had watched Shanghai Beach and witnessed how prosperous Xu Wenqiang was back then, couldn't bear it at this moment. Live in tears.

At this moment, Ma Ge on the big screen seemed to be one with Chow Yun-fat behind the screen.

This line does not seem to be spoken at all, but more like a roar dug out of Chow Yun-fat's heart.

"Wow!"

In the theater, there was endless applause.

……

The next day, at noon.

Not to mention the first week's box office, even before the premiere box office data was released, a Ming Pao writer who watched the film had already published a review of "A Better Tomorrow".

There was no disparagement or ridicule that Zou Wenhuai had anticipated in advance. The author of this film review almost exhausted his praises and used various tricks to praise this film to the sky.

Those who have not seen the film may think that the author of Ming Pao may have been paid to promote it deliberately.

But only the audience who sat in the movie theater with the writer on the night of yesterday's premiere could understand that these compliments and compliments were not exaggerated or boastful, but were spoken from the bottom of their hearts and could not be more sincere.

As for the effectiveness of this film's reviews, whether fans believe it or not, it has at least aroused everyone's curiosity.

Coupled with the familiar names of Di Long, Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong, those viewers who had not planned to watch the movie couldn't help but become curious about the film and walked into the gate of Deyang Cinema. And in the end, They were all undoubtedly conquered by "A Better Tomorrow" and became loyal fans. Many of them even started playing the game for the second time or even the third time...

exploded!

For Xinyi City and Jiahe, it was unexpected, but for Zhang Yang, it was reasonable.

"A Better Tomorrow" brings a dull and pent-up desire to vent, just like the situations that Wu Yusen, Zhou Runfa, Di Long, Zhang Guorong and others have suffered in these years, it completely broke out.

When the box office for the first week was announced, Hong Kong Film and Television's record was set again.

"A Better Tomorrow", first week box office... 1360 million!
Kill the summer season!
