Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 251 The turbulent Spring Festival
A week later, Christmas.

"Dragon in the River" starring Li Guohao is officially released.

Although the opening ceremony was a complete mess, the name of Li Xiaolong's son still attracted many people.

But compared to those mature filmmakers, Li Guohao is still a little immature after all. Although as Chen Huimin said, his kung fu is indeed not bad, but acting relies on more than just kung fu.

Even for a person like Zhang Yang, who is talented in epoch-making action, the first "Black Fist" only made more than 600 million. The success of "Fist of Heroes" later was also due to Zhang Yang's own hype skills and the use of successful experience. It doesn't matter.

And his immaturity also caused the film's box office to be far less than expected.

Although the box office performance was relatively good in the first week, it began to decline rapidly from the second week.

After all, the Hong Kong film industry today is no longer the Hong Kong film industry it once was.

Yes, your Li Guohao's kung fu is good, but now that Zhang Yang is in front of you, your Li Guohao's kung fu has naturally become unattractive. Cheng Long Movie has the momentum of a desperate Saburo, and Hong Jinbao has a playful attitude. The angry and angry citizens of Hong Kong Island are in all kinds of ways, Zhang Yang has top-notch practical action and exciting film rhythm.

What do you, Li Guohao, have?
Except for Li Xiaolong’s name and some kung fu, he is nothing!

In the end, this film, which Pan Disheng had high hopes for, only received more than 800 million at the box office. Although this figure is not small for a newcomer, Li Guohao's halo is too bright, and this kind of film can only be ranked among The box office results of over [-] in Hong Kong obviously cannot satisfy anyone involved in this film!

……

The failure of "Dragon in the River" did not affect Zhang Yang.

Even on Christmas Day, I originally wanted to go to the theater to support Li Guohao's publicity. However, at the invitation of Wang Zuxian, I was not able to go to watch the movie in person. Instead, I was dragged by Wang Zuxian to go to Victoria Harbor to enjoy it. The festival went.

The two walked and chatted along the way, and soon returned to the location where the kiss scene was filmed.

After the unexpected encounter on the court last time, it was clear that Wang Zuxian's affection for Zhang Yang soared.

Now that he has revisited his old place, Wang Zuxian couldn't help but sigh after talking about the many funny past experiences in the filming of the film.

"A-Yang, if that scene were shot again now, it would definitely not drag on for so long."

"It's hard to tell. There were too many surprises that day, not to mention how long it has been. Are you so confident in the progress of your acting skills?"

"I'm not talking about acting."

Wang Zuxian turned around and looked at Zhang Yang with his big eyes.

Zhang Yang was not stupid, and he couldn't hear the voice-over, so he took the initiative and looked down at Wang Zuxian.

"I don't believe it just by what you say. How about we try again?"

Wang Zuxian's face turned slightly red, and she didn't say anything. She just turned her head silently and looked at the coastline of Victoria Harbor.

This action is obviously the same as the scene in the memory in the film.

Zhang Yang gently hugged Wang Zuxian from behind, and Wang Zuxian raised his head nervously and shyly.

This time, it's no longer a casual kiss, but a gentle kiss.

After a long time, the two separated. Zhang Yang said with a smile: "You still can't get through it. The film shows the tacit happiness of an old couple, but you are the shyness of a young girl."

Wang Zuxian lowered his head and said nothing, but lightly bumped Zhang Yang with his shoulder.

"Try again?" Zhang Yang whispered in his ear. "Um."

Nodding like a mosquito, Wang Zuxian closed his eyes and raised his head, saying nothing.

That night, Zhang Yang sent Wang Zuxian back to his temporary residence. Compared to Man Yu's playful enthusiasm, Wang Zuxian was obviously more pure and elegant.

Since she didn't want to cross that hurdle casually, Zhang Yang was not an evil spirit who insisted on pressing her head to drink water.

If you love me, I will push the boat along the way.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Zhang Yang's behavior is a definite scumbag, but it is obvious that Zhang Yang has no self-awareness.

No matter in his past or present life, he has never lacked suitors around him.

Without the constraints of marriage and love, he would not restrain himself.

As for the day when he is really bound by love and marriage, he is willing to be a person who "keeps his integrity like a jade".

But right now, these things are too far away, and he doesn't want to think about them yet.

Because compared to the long love between children, there are many things worth doing for him.

……

January 1987, 1, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.

After experiencing some twists and turns caused by Li Guohao, Zhang Yang's "John Wick" was officially released.

Faced with Zhang Yang's fierce and devoted masterpiece, Jiahe and New Art City naturally prepared their works.

The first to bear the brunt is New Art City's "Legend of Wesley"

As the first heavyweight film released by New Art City after the seven-member group officially separated, the new films released by him and Jiahe are also competing against the popular "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series abroad. However, compared with Cheng Long's innate ability to bring He has a different adventurous temperament, and it is obviously difficult for Xu Guanjie to show that kind of style.

In addition, after the three-person team split up, the film completely lost its focus. Although a lot of special effects were added to add a grand epic atmosphere, it only made fans feel that it was a mess. Therefore, the final box office of the film was not as expected at all. , only received about 1600 million at the box office, which can be said to be the worst Lunar New Year show in New Art City.

But this is not the only thing that makes Xinyi City uncomfortable.

Jiahe's "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", which was also released on January 1st like "The Legend of Wesley", has won a lot of applause from the opening. Cheng Long still maintains his usual desperate style, coupled with the adventurous treasure hunt this book It is extremely suitable for Cheng Long's movie theme style, and the film instantly took the whole of Hong Kong by storm!

The box office data of up to 1000 to 80 million in the first week is the most favorable proof!
There is no doubt that Cheng Lung once again proved that he was the number one superstar who ruled Hong Kong movies in the 80s!

But this sentence, from a historical perspective, is naturally fine.

But now that Zhang Yang has joined, everything seems to be completely different again.

When the poster for "John Wick" was posted outside the Debao Cinemas, with the announcement of director Wu Yusen and starring Zhang Yang, movie fans couldn't help but start looking forward to it.

Especially Zhang Yang's slightly aged but extremely capable image in the poster completely subverted Zhang Yang's previous style.

The unique signal released by this poster naturally made movie fans, especially those who were fanciful, smell a unique atmosphere, making them unable to help but flock together and sit in the theaters of Debao Cinemas. Inside.

In order to verify how successful his film can be, even Zhang Yang, who had not been to the offline premiere for a long time, couldn't help but come to the premiere theater in person, waiting to receive the first call from the audience. feedback!
