The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 23 "Sensual Dogs and Horses" Fighting in the Ring
"In this case, let's "Sensual Dogs and Horses" and "Ghost Horse and Two Stars" compete," Shao Yifu made the decision, "Director Zhang, let's draw your "Stinging Horse" for now."

Zhang Che's face was gloomy, as if it was about to freeze.

In the past two years, because Bruce Lee has created a new type of kung fu, the box office of the great director Chang Cheh's kung fu movies has continued to decline.Being stepped on by a young junior made the great director very dissatisfied.

If you are poor, you want to change. The movie "The Horse" is Zhang Cheh's first braid scene that he has overcome all difficulties.Using the most beloved disciples Ti Lung, Jiang Dawei, and Chen Guantai, the story is novel and the costumes are exquisite, thinking that they can beat Bruce Lee's box office record and create their own glory again.

But now it has only been released for two weeks, and the box office has just surpassed one million, and it is about to face the result of underwriting, which makes Zhang Che can't help but burn with anger.

Although a million-dollar box office is justified, for him, a "million-dollar director", it already means a failure.

"Director Zhang, don't be angry. Continue to work hard next year. The company will still rely on you old courtiers." Seeing Zhang Che's unhappy face, Shao Yifu knew that he was dissatisfied with his decision to leave the painting, so he quickly persuaded him.

Zhang Che nodded with a gloomy face, "Mr. Six, it's nothing, I'll go first." After speaking, he got up immediately and strode away without looking back.

Seeing this, Fang Yihua, who was sitting beside her, couldn't help but her expression darkened.Relying on his status as an old courtier, this Zhang Che didn't take her as the second in command at all.

……

The next day, director Zhang Da's powerful work "The Thorn Horse" was released, and Li Hanxiang's "Sensual Dog and Horse" was officially released.

In order to compete with Golden Harvest, Shaw did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to promote the film.For a while, newspapers, radio, and television were promoting the film.

"Damn it, the Shaw Brothers are deceiving people too much!" Zou Wenhuai threw a newspaper on the table viciously, and saw the headline read "Xu Guanwen vs Xu Guanwen, which one is stronger?!".

"Clearly knowing that we will release it in a few days, they want to release it two days in advance. This is blatant ignorance! We all underestimate this old fox." Zou Wenhuai scolded viciously.

"Mr. Zou, you and I already know that he is an old fox, why are you still so angry?" Cai Changyong threw the newspaper into the trash can and said, "The soldiers came to cover up the water and soil, in fact, I had already expected that he would There is this trick."

"Ah Yong, how do you think we should deal with it?" Seeing Cai Changyong calm and confident, Zou Wenhuai hurriedly asked.

"Return to him the same way, he released it in advance, and we will release it in advance!" Cai Changyong said with a smile, "Anyway, our company is showing some kung fu movies this week, and the highest box office is only a few hundred thousand, so we just release them all." Draw a picture, all "Ghost and Horse" will be screened from tomorrow. At the same time, a few film critics are hired to write articles, saying that Shaw's "Sensual Dog and Horse" is coquettish, and it is indecent to show off its chest and back."

"I also heard that Bai Xiaoman, the heroine of the movie "Sexy Dogs and Horses", was a young lady in Causeway Bay before filming. As long as you find the person who was with her in the past and expose some shady things in newspapers and magazines, you want to pay back. Would anyone be willing to watch this movie?" He Guanchang sneered.

"This method is too insidious, if you don't have to try your best, it's better not to use it." Zou Wenhuai shook his head after hearing this.

People who hang out in the same small circle and don't see each other when they look up, there's no point in using such a means of extermination.

"Raymond, you are still too soft-hearted. If Bruce Lee hadn't joined us back then, Shao Yifu would have killed us all." He Guanchang snorted coldly.

"Even if that's the case, in the future we will still have to work hard in Hong Kong, so why do we have to be such villains?" Zou Wenhuai persuaded again.

"In that case, forget it." Seeing that Zou Wenhuai still disagreed, He Guanchang had no choice but to give up this idea.

……

Once the play "Sensual Dogs and Horses" was released, there was a huge crowd, even the entrance of the theater was full of people.

This movie is another romantic movie directed by Li Hanxiang, boldly using Bai Xiaoman, a newcomer, to play opposite Xu Guanwen.On the screen, Bai Xiaoman, who is only 1 years old, is really youthful and glamorous, which makes the audience burn with desire.The box office reached 19 Hong Kong dollars on the first day of release, showing a very strong appeal.

On the second day after "Sensual Dogs and Horses" was released, Xu Guanwen's new work "Ghost Horse Twin Stars" was officially screened in [-] theaters of Golden Harvest Cinemas.

On the same day, Xu Guanjie's new Cantonese album "Ghost Horse Double Star" was officially released, and the title song "Ghost Horse Double Star" also began to be broadcast on the radio.

The song "Ghost Horse Twin Stars" uses Hong Kong local dialect and incorporates market slang, but the style is not low.The whole song is full of self-mockery about oneself, irony about society, and irony about the idea of ​​worshiping money for nothing.Once broadcast, it was immediately welcomed by the people of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's economy began to take off in the 70s, and the post-war generation began to grow into the main force of society.They were born in Hong Kong and grew up in Hong Kong. They speak Cantonese and have morning tea. They have a very strong sense of identity with Hong Kong.But at that time, the mainstream music in the Hong Kong music scene was English songs, followed by Japanese songs, and lastly Cantonese songs.Therefore, young people are very eager to hear music that represents Hong Kong.

At this time, "Ghost Horse Twin Stars" was born, which immediately satisfied the inner pursuit of the younger generation.Therefore, on the first day of its release, "Ghost Horse Twin Stars" sold more than [-] copies, which shocked Polygram Records.

In the Hong Kong music scene at that time, the singer's album sales reached [-] copies, which can already be called a gold record.Even the most popular singer's record sales are only tens of thousands.Xu Guanjie's record was sold out on the first day it was put on the shelves, setting a record for record sales on the first day, which is really a miracle.

The crazy sales of the "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars" album also boosted the box office of the "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars" film.

After hearing this song, many fans spontaneously went to the cinema to watch the movie.

And the movie "Ghost Horse Double Star" is fresh and interesting, which made the audience overjoyed and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Audiences who have watched the movie "Ghost Horse Twin Stars" are also very interested in the theme song that appears in the movie.

Therefore, under mutual stimulation, not only the box office of movies soared, but even record albums also sold well.

……

"How is it? Have you calculated the box office on the first day?" In the office, Zou Wenhuai asked the theater manager anxiously.

The theater manager, with a phone in his hand, called each of his theaters to inquire about the box office situation, while recording the numbers on paper with a pen.

"Mr. Zou, the box office of "Ghost Horse Double Star" exceeded 25 on the first day, and the average attendance rate exceeded [-]%." The theater manager reported.

"25?! It's more than 5 Hong Kong dollars less than Shaw's "Sensual Dogs and Horses." Zou Wenhuai sat down on the chair at once.

The box office failure on the first day made him feel like he was struck by lightning.

"Lei Meng, don't worry, I believe that "Ghost and Horse" must have more stamina than "Sensual Dog and Horse"." He Guanchang stepped forward to persuade him.

"I hope." Zou Wenhuai took a sharp puff of his cigar, "Achang, if it really doesn't work, let's try your trick."

"Okay, I will be careful." He Guanchang nodded and said.
