Chapter 429 Let the literary film dynasty feel ashamed
When "A Lang's Story" was released for 30 days, the local box office broke through 635 million Hong Kong dollars. This has already made many people who are engaged in the shooting of literary films look up. They thought they were happy to cheer for the box office exceeding 100 million, but Wang Xiaohu has already broken through. The 600 million mark, comparing the two, Wang Xiaohu's realm exceeds theirs by more than 6 times.

Such a good box office performance has greatly stimulated the local literary film market in Hong Kong. More filmmakers have begun to realize the great charm brought by literary films, especially those filmmakers who have been engaged in literary films for a long time. The employees of the company, abandoning their previous colored eyes, walked into the theater very humbly and were overwhelmed by being moved again and again. That’s not counting. Many employees were asked to write movie viewing summaries. I heard that this method was spread from Wang Xiaohu. Yes, it can improve the level of script writing very well.

A script is a script, and "A Lang's Story" once again showed colleagues the important role of scripts in movies.

The film was really successful, and the huge box office benefits made Xiehe happy. Although this figure is far from the 3000 million mark in Wang Xiaohu's memory, he insisted on doing so with a clear purpose, which is to Chow Yun-fat is popular, and Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda are supported. Now this goal has been successfully completed, and the box office value is the result of taking advantage of it.

"A Lang's Story", known as "the clarion call for the renaissance of Hong Kong's literary and artistic films", also achieved a great sensation in Taiwan.In the narrow space filled with Qiong Yao's pure love films, "A Lang's Story" used powerful force to tear a gap. This gap was completely inflated on the day of the premiere, and it was shown in major theaters in Taiwan at a speed visible to the naked eye. Siege the city and seize the pool.

Since Golden Harvest was jointly acquired by Xiehe and Shaw Brothers, Taiwan's local commercial films have been provided by the two companies, and Tian's Group, which had a bad relationship with Wang Xiaohu at first, also improved their relationship with Wang Yu's help. This is mainly because Tian Jianren has no choice but to bow his head due to the great strength shown by Xiehe Company. What's more, under Wang Xiaohu's intentional or unintentional instructions, Wang Jiaxing has obtained sufficient funds and started to accelerate the acquisition plan of Taiwan's local theaters.

Under the pressure of Hong Kong films, the Taiwan film market is bound to find ways to catch up with the beats of Hong Kong filmmakers. Although they are working hard, when "Lang" comes, the Taiwan film market still triggers quite a stir. massive earthquake.

Within a week of its release, "A Lang's Story" earned NT$130 million. Such a result may not be considered the highest in Taiwan, but it made Taiwanese filmmakers who have always been proud of literary films feel ashamed.

They can say that "A Lang's Story" still contains commercial elements full of copper smell, they can say that this kind of father-son emotional drama is very old-fashioned, they can even say that the ending part is too far-fetched, but let them do what they want Belittling this film just can't stop the audience from going into the theater to watch it.

"I don't understand why those film critics belittled "A Lang's Story". I watched it and it was very touching. It can be said that I watched it with a smile at the front, but at the end, my eyes were always blurred. All in great grief."

A Taiwanese citizen expressed strong doubts about the belittling of the film by local film critics. They think that such a film is a very good representative work. They can not only appreciate the unique literary style, but also feel the philosophy of life carefully choreographed by the creative team. , Such entertaining and educational works were belittled as commercial rubbish.

The audience did not understand and was not satisfied!

"Don't comment on this film like this, please, it makes us local filmmakers have no quality. If you have the ability to make a film that is more touching than "A Lang's Story", we will spare no effort to support you!"

"If you can't eat grapes, don't say grapes are good. If you have the ability, you should make one. Don't play tricks here all day long! I really doubt whether you have read it seriously. All people will be moved by A Lang!"

The Taiwanese counterparts did not lose money by stealing chickens. Not only did they not drive "Lang" away, they even had the opposite effect of boosting their reputation. The more fiercely they scolded, the more audiences went into the theater to watch. Such a strange phenomenon As a result, the box office of "A Lang's Story" broke through the terrifying data of NT$30 million within 376 days!
Even Qiong Yao's movies may not have such strong box office results!

In 1973, Li Xing, an important director of Qiong Yao films in the 60s, came back with mixed feelings to shoot "Colorful Clouds Flying", "Where Seagulls Fly", and "A Thousand Knots" that broke box office records.It made Qiong Yao the most popular novel adaptation queen in Taiwan. When she started writing, she was no longer in the state of purely writing, but expected the possibility of film adaptation, and some even wrote for the director's vision.Since the mid-70s, when the novel was published, the filming of the movie had already started, and the portrait of the protagonist on the cover of the novel had already used the protagonist in the movie as a model.

Qiong Yao can be said to have unlimited scenery, but now, "A Lang's Story" directed by Wang Xiaohu has entered the Taiwan film market with a strong attitude. Before, there were major theaters supporting each other, and later, Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Aijia and others carried out circular publicity in various cities in Taiwan. The powerful box office data broke the dynasty of literary films under the rule of Qiong Yao.

Cracks appeared and expanded with lightning speed, allowing Taiwanese filmmakers to truly appreciate the dominance of Hong Kong films. It turns out that Hong Kong people can not only make popular commercial films, but also make touching films. What's more, how can you let this group of Taiwanese filmmakers who are immersed in their own fictional dynasty suffer!
Wang Xiaohu, who was busy in Hong Kong preparing for the Chinese New Year, soon received a call from Wang Jiaxing: "A Lang's Story" is likely to be nominated for the Golden Horse Awards.

This news made Wang Xiaohu happy for a long time, and he felt refreshed all over his body. For nothing else, letting "A Lang's Story" be released 13 years in advance would have reduced Chow Yun-fat's influence a lot. If he didn't win another Golden Horse Award Wang Xiaohu himself would feel very sorry if he comforted Fazi, but no one in this era knows that "A Lang's Story" won a box office of 3000 million in another time and space.

Wang Xiaohu wore an apron around his waist, humming the tune of "Your Look" at last, and cooked soup for his wife with great joy. As the due date approached, he also let go of all the company's affairs. Chinese New Year is approaching, so he decided to give the company employees a holiday in advance on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In this way, in addition to working hard in Thailand to catch up with the "Earth Shattering" stunt team, most of the local employees in Hong Kong went home to prepare for the New Year. Anyway, the United States People don't have a Chinese New Year plot, as long as they have the motivation to work, they like to stick to their jobs.

Wang Xiaohu himself, incarnated as a new good man, accompanied Zhao Yazhi to raise the baby at home every day. He still listened to the sound of his son rolling and swimming through his lower abdomen, and even hummed some nursery rhymes that Zhao Yazhi had never heard before for prenatal education.

Speaking of this prenatal education work, Wang Xiaohu took it very seriously. He found the Xiahou sisters and asked them to use their network in the United States to find a lot of light music. Among them, Zabach's piano pieces are the main ones, because these piano pieces can improve people's intelligence. , listening and other aspects, it was considered the best prenatal education music in the 70s.

Zhao's mother simply moved in these two days, carefully serving her daughter and waiting for the birth of her grandson.Since Wang Xiaohu was an orphan and had no parents, the Zhao family subconsciously classified their grandson as a grandson.What is the difference between grandson and grandson?Don't they all love each other equally?

In this way, Wang Xiaohu spent the Spring Festival of 1976 while waiting. Since he became a father for the first time, he was very nervous. Apart from visiting Yu Zhanyuan's home on the first day of the new year, he did not do any extra walking around, and directly adopted The way of calling New Year's greetings made Jin Yong, Run Run Shaw and others laugh and curse and say they were serious.Wang Xiaohu was also happy not to care about them. After all, he didn't care what other people said at this time. Who made him a father for the first time?

Of course, some people will use the telephone as a communication tool to send New Year greetings to Wang Xiaohu. Weng Meiling, who is far away in the UK, called on the evening of the New Year's Eve. During the phone call, the first sentence that the little girl said was: "Old man, I miss." You! I hate you for not sending me off when I came to England."

This somewhat made Wang Xiaohu feel a little wronged. Weng Meiling stayed in Hong Kong for a while after the filming of "Seven Little Fortunes". He even missed sending Weng Meiling to the plane. Later, he stayed in Thailand for two months. During this period, Weng Meiling called several times and Zhao Yazhi answered them. He also wrote many letters, but Wang Xiaohu was too busy to go around. He didn't reply to the letter, and even forgot about making a phone call.

How can you make Weng Meiling not angry.

Wang Xiaohu was busy apologizing on the phone, and Weng Meiling knew that Laodou was busy, so she stopped messing around after saying a few symbolic angry words.

"Old Dou, when was my younger brother born? By the way, you haven't given me the red envelope yet. I don't care. You didn't give it to me last year. You are not allowed to leave it this year. You mailed it to me by airmail, but I didn't see the red envelope." I don't recognize you, old man!"

"Uh! It's easy to talk about the red envelope. Your brother will be born in a few days."
