Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

April 28, 1971.

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

This day is also recorded in the history of Chinese film, because Hong Kong films have never had a so-called "premiere" before, and there are often only "trial screenings".

And the test screenings are often filmed at midnight, and the filming directors and film bosses will go to the test screenings in person to observe the audience's reaction.

If the audience is good, then the screening rate of this movie will be greatly increased. If the test screening is bad and the movie is scolded by the audience, then the result of this movie will be miserable. There is no chance, or the number of films scheduled is pitiful, and then based on the box office after the film is scheduled to see if there is any possibility of a counterattack, if there is no possibility, it will be castrated directly!

On the day of the premiere, the whole Xiangjiang River was boiling.

There are even more people in front of the Kowloon Grand Theater, and a red carpet is laid at the entrance of the theater, which is convenient for those tycoons, celebrities and gentlemen to show on it!

It was only now that people realized that tonight's premiere was more like a complete "Vanity Fair".

Not only a large group of Hong Kong rich men walked up and down on the carpet, but also beautiful women posing. Even many ghosts invited by Shi Zhijian couldn't stand the loneliness, they wore jewels and showed their gentleman and lady side on the red carpet!

Media reporters came uninvited, set up long guns and short cannons around the sides of the red carpet, and shot wildly at the people on the red carpet.

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

"Beside Chen Baozhu is her adoptive father, Cao Dahua!"

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

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

All of a sudden, the red carpet was full of excitement, with Hong Kong entertainment, business and political figures arriving at the scene one after another.

From the situation on the red carpet, Shi Zhijian has a wide network and many friends in Hong Kong.

Lei Luo came with his wife Bai Yuechang, biting a cigar.

Lame Hao leaned on crutches and pulled like two to five or eighty thousand!

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

The reporters on the scene were almost stunned by this scene, and even the camera film was almost not enough!

As the red carpet show is coming to an end, many guests are invited to the theater to watch the premiere of the play.

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

Those journalists with some tricks spent a lot of effort and finally sneaked into the movie theater, preparing to witness this unprecedented premiere ceremony!

…

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

He didn't go on the red carpet.

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

Of course, Daheng Shao was a little bit annoyed by the 300 yuan ticket price, and felt that Shi Zhijian was a "black-hearted ghost", which was simply killing people! In comparison, their Shao Brothers had a lot more conscience, and the ticket price for "Ma Yongzhen" was only ten yuan!

Shao Daheng felt that it would be safe to enter the movie theater, so he took off his hat and pulled Fang Yihua towards his seat.

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

Shao Daheng was taken aback. He didn't expect to be recognized even though he was disguised. Looking at that person again, Shao Daheng couldn't help but smile. The other person was similar to him. He also wore a hat and had a beard glued on. Personally, Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai!

Shao Daheng immediately calmed down and said: "Oh, I came to see the premiere! Let's learn from each other! Live to learn! What about you?"

Liu Jianxiong coughed twice: "We are also here to learn!" He pressed his beard vigorously with his hand, for fear of falling.

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

"Okay, okay, Sixth Uncle, please!" Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai hurriedly moved out of the way.

Shao Daheng nodded, and led Fang Yihua to pass them by.

In fact, there are many big names in the entertainment industry who came here tonight to actively "study". In addition to Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, the bosses of film companies such as Great Wall and Phoenix also came here in disguise, some wearing hats, and some wearing hats. Wigs, and what’s more, men disguise themselves as women, so that people can’t recognize them at all, just like attending a “masquerade party”.

The movie theater is also divided into grades, and the front seats are basically surrounded by relatives and friends invited by Shi Zhijian, such as Xu Sanshao, Huo Dashao, elder sister Shi Yufeng, Lei Luo and Li Hao, etc., they all sit in the front .

Then there are those dignitaries, celebrities and gentlemen, and businessmen who have business dealings with Shi Zhijian.

This group of people became the main body of those reporters' attention, and they took out their cameras to shoot wildly at these people.

On the surface, these people seem to be disgusted by the sneak shots of these reporters, but in fact they are happy in their hearts, thinking that it would be even better if they can be on the headlines tomorrow!

It's too early to be famous! isn't it? !

Seeing this, Shao Daheng, Liu Jianxiong and others who were hiding in the auditorium couldn't help but sigh with emotion, even watching a play is divided into three or six grades, this Shi Zhijian has figured out people's hearts thoroughly! Then I thought, next time my own movie is released, I will also have such a premiere ceremony! To learn, you must apply what you have learned!

"Master Zhao!"

"Master Huo!"

Master Zhao Zhijing from the Baihe School of the two Hong Kong sects, and master Huo Qingjun from the Bagua School clasped their fists together.

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

"I came here to see how the Kung Fu Emperor beat ten of them!"

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

Zhao Zhijing and Huo Qingjun looked arrogant, they usually disobeyed each other, now they were all in the same hatred, and they regarded Bruce Lee as their only opponent.

"In fact, besides our White Crane Sect and Bagua Sect, there are also many martial arts friends coming here tonight. They must have the same thoughts as you and me. They also want to see the real kung fu of the Kung Fu Emperor!"

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

"Well said! Just taking advantage of the crowds here today, and there are many big bosses sitting here, let's demonstrate our real kung fu on the spot, and let that brat know what it means to have a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the people, and a mountain is better than a mountain." The mountains are high!"

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

For them, the business of martial arts in Hong Kong is not good recently. Unlike in the 1950s, young people like to learn martial arts. Today's young people can't bear hardships, and they prefer to go to the ballroom to dance!

As a result, their martial arts business is getting worse and worse, their income has dropped sharply, and they can hardly even drink the ginseng tea that they usually nourish their energy and body!

Today is just a good opportunity, I can take this opportunity to show off my martial arts, won't it explode by then?

Once you become famous, the martial arts business will definitely explode if you become famous! At that time, 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 arena one after another. Some people who sneaked in through the back door didn't even have seats 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!

Calculated based on the ticket price of 30 yuan per person, this premiere alone helped New Arts City earn 80,000 yuan!

What if it goes online in Hong Kong?

Not worth a million a day? !

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

The one who can't sit still is Daheng Shao. He is a genius at counting, especially good at counting the box office. After just a few glances, he already knows that tonight's movie New Art City has earned almost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan! And my trial screening was only 14,000! It's so weak in comparison!

Shao Daheng was still complacent about the box office of tens of thousands of shows before, but now he is dejected!

As if feeling the sense of loss and frustration in Shao Daheng's heart, Fang Yihua stretched out his hand and shook his hand lightly, saying, "That man 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, but later ...We'll have to wait and see!"

Feeling comforted, Daheng Shao nodded, "You're right! He's just a cunning man. If New Art City wants to surpass Shaw Brothers, it needs to watch the quality of the movie!"

the other side.

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

"Ahem, if this movie explodes and is released in Hong Kong, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes before the box office breaks one million?!"

Hearing Zou Wenhuai's words, Liu Jianxiong didn't want to admit it, but he had to nod his head and said: "It must be able to blow up! I'm afraid that the premiere will be earth-shattering, and the quality of the movie is too bad. Don't say it will blow up when the time comes. Well, it will go bankrupt immediately!"

"Mr. Shi has always been cautious and meticulous in doing things, and he never does things that he is not sure about!"

"Brother Wen Huai, he is no longer our boss, so 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 foes when we do things! Also, you and I came here to study tonight, and when the time comes, we will apply what we have learned and use Shi Zhijian's moves to defeat him! Let's make Golden Harvest Movie even better One floor!"

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

…

While the two were talking, the lights of 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 had changed at some point -----

A group of men in white karate uniforms are practicing boxing on the stage "Hoohoo!"

Hong Jinbao was wearing exercise clothes, with Rendanhu stuck to his mouth, and punched the sandbags away!

Cheng Long split the brick with one hand, and with a hey sound, the brick split in half!

Yuan Hua flew up and kicked his legs, and kicked the wooden board in Yuan Biao's hand with a bang!

There was also Lin Zhengying somersaulting on the stage and Wu Ma's tricks!

Not to mention the audience, even the masters of the White Crane Sect and Bagua Sect couldn't help but praise the scene before them: "Real skill!"

Just when everyone was dumbfounded by the real kung fu of these people on the stage, an exciting drumbeat suddenly sounded.

Under the guidance of the stage lights, Bruce Lee in a Chinese tunic appeared at the entrance of the martial arts hall with a plaque on his shoulders!

Bang!

Plaque resident!

There are four words written on it: "Sick Man of East Asia!"

"Chen Zhen, why are you here?" Hong Jinbao asked with his hands on his hips.

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

"Yaoxi! So you are looking for death!" Hong Jinbao laughed wildly, "Then let you go to **** to accompany your master!"

Just as Hong Jinbao was about to step forward, 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!"

Only then did the audience wake up!

It turns out that this is one hit ten?

What are you doing? What about acting in a play?

Those martial arts masters at the scene even sneered, is this a live martial arts competition? Liar!

"You want one to fight ten? Hahaha!"

Loud laughter!

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

Without further ado, Bruce Lee threw up the plaque and let out a long roar! Raise your leg and kick the plaque into two pieces with a snap!

Move too fast!

And his amazing whistle!

Startled the audience.

When everyone woke up, they found that Bruce Lee had already fought with Hong Jinbao and others on the stage!

One person singled out ten people!

Fly in the air!

Chain legs!

Clap clap!

too fast!

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

Wing Chun aimed at Hong Jinbao for fear of slapping, so he pressed Hong Jinbao to the ground with more than ten punches in a second!

"How is it possible?" Huo Qingjun, the head of the Eight Diagrams Sect, stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the speed of Bruce Lee's punches.

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

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

At that time, most of the filming was done with 24 frames per second cameras, because Bruce Lee had to switch to 32 frames per second, only in this way could he capture his punching movements.

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

There are "corpses all over the field" on the stage!

Hong Jinbao and others howled endlessly!

At this moment, they are not acting, but really hurt!

Although Bruce Lee was very restrained when exerting his strength, he still used a little bit of strength for the stage effect, but even this little strength was too much for Hong Jinbao and others!

Finish these Japanese ghosts!

Bruce Lee stretched out his tunic suit, revealing his amazing muscles, especially stretched his arms and shoulders, his latissimus dorsi were stunned!

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

The men were all stunned, looking at this peerless hunk in front of them!

Those martial arts masters looked at Bruce Lee's muscles on the stage, compared them with their own, and their mood of wanting to go on stage to learn a lesson suddenly disappeared!

Punching speed is fast, this is a soft condition!

Strong muscles, UU reading www.uukanshu. The explosive power of com is strong, this is a hard condition!

They are so strong, how can they fight?

The head of the Baihe School and the head of the Bagua Sect looked at each other, and they were scared!

When the audience was silent--

A voice said: "The scene just now is a highlight of our next drama "Fist of Fury" in Xinyi City! Next, please invite the famous Hong Kong male singer Mr. Luo Wen to sing the theme song "Descendants of the Dragon" of "Fist of Fury", Lyricist and composer - Shi Zhijian!"

The scene exploded with a bang!

Only now did everyone know that the gift that Shi Zhijian wanted to give everyone was actually a song!

Shao Daheng, Liu Jianxiong, and many 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 the next drama!

Shi Zhijian will always walk in front of them!
