Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

April 28, 1971.

The first movie "Big Brother Tangshan" starring Bruce Lee officially premiered at the Kowloon Grand Theatre in Hong Kong.

This day is also recorded in Chinese film history, because before this, Hong Kong films have never had a so-called "premiering ceremony", often only "trial screenings".

In addition, the screenings are often filmed at midnight, and the filming director and film owner will personally go to the screenings to observe the audience's reactions.

If the audience is good, then the film will be greatly increased in the filming rate. If the audition is bad and the film is scolded by the audience, then the result of this play will be miserable, or it will be directly drawn, and even the large-scale release will be released. There is no chance at all, or the number of films will be poor, and then we will see if there is a possibility of a counterattack based on the box office after the film is arranged. If it is not possible, it will be directly castrated!

On the day of the premiere, the whole Hong Kong was boiling.

The front of the Kowloon Grand Theater is even more crowded, and a red carpet has been laid in front of the theater to facilitate the tycoons and the famous gentlemen to walk on the catwalk!

At this moment, people realize that tonight's premiere is more like a downright Vanity Fair.

Not only a large group of rich Hong Kong people walked around on the carpet, but the beauties scratched their heads and made poses. Even many of the ghosts invited by Shi Zhijian couldn't stand their loneliness. They wore jewels to show their gentleman and ladylike side on the red carpet!

Uninvited media reporters set up guns and cannons on both sides of the red carpet, aiming at the people on the red carpet and shooting frantically.

"Wow, look that's the big star Chen Baozhu!"

"Beside Chen Baozhu is her foster father Cao Dahua!"

"Even Li Jiacheng, the big boss of Cheung Kong Industrial, is here too?"

"And that one, it turns out to be Shen Bi, the boss of HSBC!"

There was a lot of excitement on the red carpet for a while, and Hong Kong entertainment circles, businessmen and politicians came to the scene one after another.

The situation on the red carpet shows Shi Zhijian's extensive contacts and friends in Hong Kong.

Lai Luo came with his wife Bai Yuechang biting a cigar.

Lame Hao leaned on a cane and dragged him like 2,580,000!

Xu Sanshao joined hands with Huo Dashao, and the two great talents appeared on the red carpet together.

The reporters at the scene were almost stunned by this scene, and they didn't even have enough camera film!

As the red carpet runway draws to a close, many guests are invited to the theater to watch the premiere.

Those reporters who didn't get movie tickets were as anxious as ants on a hot pan outside.

Those reporters who have some means have finally managed to sneak into the movie theater, preparing to witness this unprecedented premiere ceremony!

...

Shao Daheng wore a hat and had two beards glued to the corners of his mouth. He followed Fang Yihua into the Kowloon Theater quietly.

He didn't leave the red carpet.

This time he only came to "watch the movie" as an ordinary audience.

Of course, Shao Daheng was a little bit jealous of the 300 yuan ticket price, and felt that Shi Zhijian was a "black-hearted ghost", which was killing people at all! In contrast, their Shaw Brothers are more conscientious, and the ticket price for "Ma Yongzhen" is only ten yuan!

Shao Daheng felt that it was safe to enter the cinema, so he took off his hat and dragged Fang Yihua towards the seat.

Who knew that after walking a few steps in the corridor, I heard a voice: "Uncle Six, why are you here?"

Shao Daheng was taken aback. He didn't expect that he would be recognized in disguise. When he looked at the man again, Shao Daheng couldn't help but smile. Personally, Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai!

Shao Daheng immediately steadied: "Oh, I'm here to watch the premiere! Let's learn from each other! Live to learn! How about you?"

Liu Jianxiong coughed twice: "We're here to learn too!" He pressed his beard with his hands, for fear of falling.

"It's good for young people to have such an attitude! We are sitting over there, don't bother!"

"Okay, Uncle Six, please!" Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai hurriedly stepped aside.

Shao Daheng nodded and took Fang Yihua to pass them by.

In fact, there are a lot of entertainment industry bosses who came here tonight to take the initiative to "learn". In addition to Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, film company bosses such as Great Wall and Phoenix also came in disguise, some wearing hats, some wearing hats Wigs, and even male disguise as female, make people unrecognizable at all, like attending a "masquerade party".

There are also grades in the cinema. The relatives and friends invited by Shi Zhijian in the front are basically rounded up, such as Xu Sanshao, Huo Dashao, old sister Shi Yufeng, Lei Luo and Lai Hao, and others, all of them are sitting in the front. .

Next are those dignitaries, famous gentlemen, and businessmen who have business dealings with Shi Zhijian.

This group of people became the main focus of those reporters, and they took out their cameras and aimed at them and took pictures frantically.

On the surface, these people seem to be very disgusted with the candid photos of these reporters, but in fact they are happy, thinking that it would be better if they could be on the front page tomorrow!

Be famous as soon as possible! isn't it? !

Shao Daheng, Liu Jianxiong and others, who were hiding in the auditorium, saw this and couldn't help but sighed. Even watching a play was divided into three, six, nine, and so on. This Shi Zhijian has figured out the heart! Then I thought, the next time my own movie is released, I will also hold such a premiere! Learn, you must apply what you have learned!

"Master Zhao!"

"Master Huo!"

Master Zhao Zhijing from the Baihe School of the two major schools in Hong Kong, and Master Fok Chingjun from Bagua School clasped their fists and bowed to each other.

"I didn't expect you to come here."

"I'm here to see how that Kung Fu Emperor beats ten!"

"That's right! I'm also here to ask for advice!"

Zhao Zhijing and Huo Qingjun looked arrogant, and the two of them who usually disagreed with each other, but at this moment they all share the same hatred and regard Bruce Lee as their only opponent.

"In fact, in addition to our Baihe faction and Baguamen, there are many martial arts friends who come here tonight. They must have the same thoughts as you and me, and they also want to see the real kung fu of the kung fu emperor!"

"What real kung fu? I think it's blowing water!" Huo Qingjun looked disdainful, "We'll show him his true form later!"

book

"Well said! Just taking advantage of the crowds here today, and there are still many bigwigs in town, we will show the real kung fu on the spot, and let the hairy boy know what it means to have a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people, a mountain is better than a mountain. High mountains!"

After Zhao Zhijing and Huo Qingjun finished speaking, they laughed up to the sky!

For them, the business of the Hong Kong martial arts hall has been difficult recently. Unlike in the 1950s, young people prefer to learn martial arts. Today's young people can't bear the hardships, and they prefer to dance in the ballroom!

As a result, the business of their martial arts hall is getting worse and worse, and their income has dropped sharply.

Today is just a good opportunity to show off your martial arts, and it will not explode by then?

When it becomes famous, the business of the famous martial arts hall will definitely explode! Don't talk about drinking ginseng tea, you can even rinse your mouth with abalone juice!

...

Two thousand spectators who bought high-priced tickets entered the venue one after another. Some people who sneaked in by the back door didn't even have a seat and could only stand in the aisle.

Those media reporters were surprised to find that there were not only 2,000 people at the scene, but almost 3,000 people!

Based on the ticket price of 30 yuan per person, this premiere alone will help Xinyicheng buy 80,000 yuan!

What if the whole Hong Kong is online?

Not even a million a day? !

Thinking of this number, those reporters couldn't sit still any longer!

The one who can't sit still is Shao Daheng. He is a genius at counting, especially good at box office counting. After a few glances, we know that this movie Xinyicheng made almost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan tonight! And his audition room was only 14,000! It's weak in comparison!

Shao Daheng was complacent at the box office of tens of thousands of games before, but now he is sad!

Seemingly feeling the sense of loss and frustration in Shao Daheng's heart, Fang Yihua reached out and shook his hand lightly and said, "That surnamed Shi has always been a ghost, and he never plays cards according to common sense! The success this time is also a surprise victory, it's just the back ...we'll just have to wait and see!"

Shao Daheng, who was comforted, nodded, "You're right! He's just a sleight of hand. If Art City wants to surpass Shaw Brothers, it has to watch the quality of the movie!"

the other side.

Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai also calculated the box office of the premiere of Xinyicheng tonight, and the figure of 70,000 to 80,000 made them gasp.

"Cough cough, if this drama blows up and is released all over Hong Kong, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to break the million-dollar box office?!"

When Liu Jianxiong heard Zou Wenhuai say this, he didn't want to admit it, but he had to nod his head and said, "Then it has to be a blast! I'm afraid that the premiere will be earth-shattering and the quality of the movie is too bad. Well, it will close down immediately!"

"Mr. Shi has always been cautious and meticulous, and he never does anything he is not sure about!"

"Brother Wenhuai, he is no longer your boss. You don't need to address him so respectfully. Just call him Shi Zhijian!" Liu Jianxiong was very dissatisfied with Zou Wenhuai's respectful attitude towards Shi Zhijian.

"I'm used to it, I can't change it!"

"In short, you and I are on the same boat now, and we must distinguish between friends and enemies! Also, you and I are here to study tonight. When the time comes, we will use what we have learned and use Shi Zhijian's moves to defeat him! One floor!"

"You're right, we're here to learn!"

...

While the two were talking, the lights in the entire cinema suddenly dimmed, and then a beam of light hit the center of the stage.

Slowly, people got used to the light in front of them, only to realize that the stage changed the scene at some point-----

A group of men in white karate training suits are practicing "huhuhahe" on the stage!

Hong Jinbao was wearing a training suit, with Rendanhu sticking to his mouth, and knocking the sandbag flying with one punch!

Cheng Long slammed the brick with one hand, hehe, the brick split in half!

Yuan Hua kicked and kicked Yuan Biao with a bang!

There is also Lin Zhengying doing somersaults and noon horses on the stage!

Not to mention the audience, even the masters of the Baihe faction and Baguamen had to praise the scene before them: "Really kung fu!"

Just when everyone was stunned by the real kung fu of the group of people on the stage, an exciting drum suddenly played.

Under the traction of the stage lights, Bruce Lee, who was wearing a tunic suit, appeared at the entrance of the martial arts hall with a plaque on his shoulders!

Bang!

Plaque resident!

On it were written four words: "Sick man of East Asia!"

"Chen Zhen, why are you here?" Hong Jinbao asked with akimbo.

"I'm here to avenge my master Huo Yuanjia!"

"Yangxi! It turned out to be courting death!" Hong Jinbao laughed wildly, "Then let you go to **** to accompany your master!"

Hong Jinbao was about to step forward when Bruce Lee suddenly stretched out a finger and shook it.

"Why, are you afraid?"

"No!" Bruce Lee circled his fingers, pointing at Cheng Long, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying and others, "I want one to fight ten!"

The audience just woke up!

It turns out that this is one hit ten?

What's wrong? What about acting?

The martial arts masters on the scene even sneered. Is this a live competition? What a liar!

"Do you want one to fight ten? Hahaha!"

Laugh out loud!

The audience at the scene had a strong sense of substitution, and they all laughed, especially those masters who were extremely thin and contemptuous!

Without saying a word, Bruce Lee threw the plaque up and let out a long whistle! He kicked the plaque into two pieces with a slap of his legs!

Move too fast!

And his amazing howl!

Shocked the audience.

Only when everyone woke up did they realize that Bruce Lee had already fought with Hong Jinbao and others on the stage!

One person heads up ten people!

Fly into the sky!

Serial legs!

clap clap clap!

Too fast!

"What did I see?" Zhao Zhijing, the head of the White Crane Sect, rubbed his eyes hard.

Wing Chun aimed at Hong Jinbao and pressed Hong Jinbao to the ground for more than a dozen punches for a second!

"How is that possible?" Huo Qingjun, the head of Bagua Sect, widened his eyes, unable to believe the speed of Bruce Lee's punches.

Those reporters were shooting wildly at the stage, only to find that their shooting speed couldn't keep up with Bruce Lee's hands-on speed!

In fact, Bruce Lee in another time and space has made many directors troubled because of the speed of punching!

At that time, most of the filming was shot with 24 frames per second camera, because Bruce Lee had to switch to 32 frames per second, and only in this way could he shoot his punches.

"Ada!" Bruce Lee knocked down the last opponent with the last punch!

There are "corpses everywhere" on the stage!

Hong Jinbao and the others wailed incessantly!

They are not acting at the moment~www.readwn.com~ but it is really painful!

Although Bruce Lee was very restrained when he exerted his force, for the stage effect, he still used a little force, and even this little force made Hong Jinbao and others overwhelmed!

Finish fighting these ghosts!

Bruce Lee stretched out his tunic suit, revealing his amazing muscles, especially his arms and shoulders stretched a little, and his lats were stunned!

The women covered their mouths one after another, their eyes glowing!

The men were dumbfounded, looking at this peerless man in front of them!

Those martial arts masters looked at Bruce Lee's muscles on the stage, compared their own, and then wanted to take the stage to learn a lesson or two, and the mood suddenly disappeared!

The punching speed is fast, this is a soft condition!

The muscles are strong and explosive, this is the hard condition!

People are so strong in both soft and hard, how can they fight?

The head of the White Crane Sect and the head of the Bagua Sect looked at each other, and they were cowardly!

Just when the audience was silent...

A voice said: "The scene just now is a wonderful clip of our next play "Fist of Swords"! Next, let's invite Mr. Luo Wen, a famous male singer in Hong Kong, to sing the theme song "Descendants of the Dragon" of "Future of Swords". Lyrics and music----Shi Zhijian!"

The scene exploded!

At this moment, everyone knew that the gift that Shi Zhijian wanted to give everyone was actually a song!

Shao Daheng, Liu Jianxiong, and many other movie tycoons also knew that Shi Zhijian never regarded them as opponents from the very beginning!

When they thought Shi Zhijian was promoting this drama, they had already started advertising for the next drama!

Shi Zhijian, always walk in front of them!
