Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

In this era, Hong Kong audiences generally have low cultural quality and no culture. Their appreciation of movies is similar to that of readers in another time and space who only like online Xiaobaiwen. They only pursue one word when watching movies, and that is - cool!

It just so happens that Bruce Lee's movie, whether it's a storyline or a martial arts scene, is so cool!

Coupled with the touts and taunts of the entertainment media around them, they are full of curiosity, especially when a ticket was 30 yuan at the premiere, and now it is only 10 yuan per ticket for the whole Hong Kong release, and the Shaw Brothers blockbuster "Ma Yongzhen" Check it out!

Invisibly, people feel that they have taken advantage of it! Others spend 30 yuan to watch a premiere, and I only need to wait for three days to spend 20 yuan less to watch a premiere, which is more cost-effective!

It's a grandson if you have the advantage!

This is also the philistine side of Hong Kong citizens in this era!

As a result, when "Big Brother Tangshan" was fully released, 18 cinemas in the Kowloon Cinemas, thirteen cinemas in the Li's Cinema, and seven in the Jiahe Cinemas were full, and the other five cinemas were full. The attendance rate is over 90%!

Kowloon Cinemas and Lai's Cinemas are partners of Art City, and they go directly to Jiahe Cinemas----Shi Zhijian said, even if they don't want to show it!

Such a grand occasion is in stark contrast to Shaw Brothers' "Ma Yongzhen"'s highest attendance rate of 70% on the first day of release!

At the same time, the word of mouth of the two dramas also began to polarize!

Before "Big Brother Tangshan" was released, there were rainbow farts everywhere who touted "Ma Yongzhen", saying how wonderful the show was and how intense the fighting was, especially how powerful Ma Yongzhen played by Chen Guangtai was. Makes blood boil!

But when "Big Brother Tangshan" is released, I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I am afraid of comparing goods!

Chen Guangtai's traditional hard bridge iron horse, compared with Bruce Lee's cool Jeet Kune Do, is somewhat novel! Coupled with Bruce Lee's **** screaming in the fight, the audience was mesmerized by it, and felt that this was the real kung fu!

In addition, in terms of script, "Ma Yongzhen" belongs to the old story of changing the soup without changing the medicine. Hong Kong people can tell a little bit, especially those who love to listen to storytelling, and they know this story well! In addition, the ending of this play ended with the tragedy of Ma Yongzhen's death, which made more audiences uneasy!

In contrast, the story of "Big Brother Tangshan" belongs to the original, and the story is first suppressed and then raised, and finally; Bruce Lee decisively fought the big BOSS, directly lifted it up and threw it out, it was so cool!

According to the words of the audience who watched this play, "Bruce Lee is literally the Li Yuanba in "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties"! Not only is his kung fu great, but he is also extremely powerful!"

No comparison, no harm!

Those viewers who watched "Big Brother Tangshan" instantly became the navy of Xinyi City, saying how good the film was in Xinyi City, it's worth watching it once, twice, or even three times.

On the other hand, Shaw Brothers' "Ma Yongzhen" was very popular before the new Art City movie was released. After all, it was a big production by Shaw Brothers.

However, when the new film of Xinyicheng was released, the audience felt that although the film was warm, it was too aggrieved. In addition, the story was not fresh enough, and Chen Guangtai's performance was not exciting enough, so after watching this film, it was directly I went to the opposite theater to watch "Big Brother Tangshan"!

Those navy hired by Shaw Brothers worked hard to write film reviews and hymns for "Ma Yongzhen" in the newspapers. They couldn't bear it. Those audiences all had long legs. Everyone voted with their legs, so that the audience kept flowing out, causing "Ma Yongzhen" The box office is not as good as day by day, from 14,000 a day at the beginning to a drop of 3,000 at the end! The attendance rate has reached an astonishing two or three percent!

The reporters hired by Shaw Brothers were undecided. They felt ashamed that they took money but did not help Shaw Brothers turn over. As a cultural person, they had no face, so they sneaked into the "Tangshan Brother" theater, wanting to Check out how the show goes.

Finally, when they came out of the theater, they couldn't help but wipe their mouths and said, "It smells so good!"

...

The popularity of Bruce Lee's "Big Brother Tangshan" shocked the entire Hong Kong film industry!

In the last life, the play exceeded 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars in three weeks, which made Jiahe proud at that time and beat Shaw Brothers.

In this life, the box office directly broke 4.5 million in three weeks! A million more than in the previous world!

The total population of Hong Kong is only 4 million. A movie ticket costs 10 yuan, but the box office of this movie is as high as 4.5 million. What is the problem?

Such a perverted result directly stunned other filmmakers who got the news.

"Three four million five hundred thousand?" Jiahe Film Company, the cigar in Liu Jianxiong's hand burned the boss, but he still didn't know it.

Zou Wenhuai was haggard, smoking a cigarette vigorously, and scratching hard with one hand in his hair.

They felt a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts for such an explosive box office performance of Xinyicheng.

Jingle Bell!

The phone rings.

The two were taken aback, you look at me, I look at you.

Finally, Zou Wenhuai picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm Zou Wenhuai, who are you?"

Someone on the phone said something.

Zou Wenhuai's face became very strange.

"Wen Huai, who is looking for you?"

"Yes... Shi Zhijian!"

"He asked you to do it?" Zou Wenhuai sat up from the chair, looking nervous.

"He said that at three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a meeting on the Kowloon Peninsula!"

"Meeting? He thought he was a sidekick? Calling us around?" Liu Jianxiong was furious.

Zou Wenhuai looked at the news that "Big Brother Tangshan" had totaled 4.5 million at the box office in three weeks, and sighed: "Do we still have a choice?"

Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Shao Daheng has been very irritable in recent days. He has always been very good-tempered. These days, he not only likes to scold people, but also likes to throw teacups!

At this moment, the tea cup on his table is the third new one.

"Are you sure, the audience in our theaters went to see "Big Brother Tangshan"?"

"How did you attract the audience? As you know, you will either lead the audience to the movie theater, or you will resign yourself!"

"I don't need money for promotions? Send balloons? Only children like this stuff, you give it to a ghost!"

Shao Daheng scolded and chased all his men away, then sat down on the chair and loosened his tie with his hands.

Fang Yihua saw the gray-headed and gray-faced people being scolded outside, smiled apologetically at them, and knocked on the door with ginseng tea.

"Come in!"

Fang Yihua pushed open the door and entered, and saw Shao Daheng looking angrily with a newspaper.

"Drink tea, let go of the fire!"

Shao Daheng didn't lift his head, "There is also news that those guys dare not sue me in person and ask you to make a fire extinguisher?"

Fang Yihua smiled and put down the ginseng tea, "You also know that you have a big temper and are easy to scare people, so put it out!"

"I also thought about it, but----hey!" Shao Daheng sighed, "Okay, okay! I promise you! Even if something big happens, I will endure it!"

"Then I'll tell you, the box office of Xinyicheng movies has come out today----"

"How much?" Shao Daheng believes that the box office there is at most 100,000 in Hong Kong today. After all, it has been released for three weeks, and any popularity should go down.

"Because of the return of the audience and the addition of the show, today's box office is 500,000!"

"What?" Shao Daheng was taken aback, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

In this era, the box office can break 1 million, and 2 million is already amazing! Breaking three million is the best! But now, if you add the previous 4.5 million, doesn't "Big Brother Tangshan" directly break 5 million? !

Shao Daheng stood in front of him, his head dizzy, and he hurriedly reached out to hold the table.

"Uncle Six, what's wrong with you?" Fang Yihua stepped forward to help.

Shao Daheng tried his best to stand firm and asked Fang Yihua a sentence: "Is everything you said true?"

Fang Yihua nodded.

Shao Daheng was dizzy again, and the world was spinning. After a long time, he said, "Where the **** is this Shi Zhijian coming from? I, I, I'll beat him!"

Fang Yihua was very worried about Shao Daheng's body, but when he heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Are you laughing too?" Shao Daheng was slightly angry.

"I laugh at you, it's been a long time since you scolded people like this!" Fang Yihua said, "In my impression, you are always calm and calm when you are in trouble."

When Shao Daheng heard this, he smiled bitterly, sat down on the chair again, waved his hand and said, "No way! I'm old!"

"How can you be old? You are always so young in my eyes." Fang Yihua said softly, passing the ginseng tea by the way.

Shao Daheng was a little moved when he heard the words, and took the ginseng tea with his palm to feel the temperature of the teacup: "Only you can comfort me at this time."

"Winning or losing is a common thing in military affairs, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

"Hey!" Shao Daheng put the teacup on the table, "It's enough to say this sentence once, the problem is that I have lost to that boy surnamed Shi many times! No matter how thick my skin is, I can't bear it! Besides, I make movies. After so many years, it's still really hard to understand, those audiences flocked in like crazy to watch it once, twice, or even three or four times? Don't they all think the fare is expensive, and it's such a waste? If I hadn't stayed in Nanyang, I must suspect that the boy surnamed Shi gave those people his head!"

Fang Yihua walked behind Shao Daheng with a smile and massaged his shoulders: "I don't have to bow my head, but I do! Shi Zhijian has always liked to figure out people's hearts. You can also see at the premiere, whether it's the episode "Jing Wu" "The Door", or the song "Descendants of the Dragon" are all fantasizing about it! Counting it, the people's hearts are the most difficult to guess, but Shi Zhijian has a good grasp of people's hearts!"

Shao Daheng was speechless. It was really difficult for him to accept that a hairy boy in his early twenties knew how to use people's hearts better than himself, a veteran who had been immersed in the silver sea for many years!

Just then, Jingle!

The desk phone rang.

Shao Daheng was stunned for a moment, Fang Yihua helped him pick up the phone and handed it to him.

After a moment, Shao Daheng put down the phone, his face gloomy.

"Uncle Six, does something happen?"

"Humph!" Shao Daheng slapped the phone on the table, "Shi Zhijian even invited me to a meeting at the hotel at 3 o'clock in the afternoon! Needless to say, he must be trying to save my face and make me admit defeat on the spot!"

"Then...are you going?"

"Of course!" Shao Daheng stood up, his eyes sharp, "If you lose, you won't lose, I, Shao Yifu, will never be a tortoise!"

...

Cinematheque Films, Auditorium.

"Hello, Mr. Shi!"

"Hello, Senator Shi!"

"Hello, Boss Shi!"

The auditorium was crowded. In addition to Lei Juekun, Bruce Lee and others, there were seven Xiaofu including Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, and Lin Zhengying, Dong Wei, who had been acting as martial artists and stand-ins.

When everyone saw Shi Zhijian coming in from outside, they all opened their mouths to greet him.

Shi Zhijian nodded to the crowd, Chen Huimin and Dasha followed behind him with imposing manner.

Shi Zhijian walked to the front of the stage, first nodded to Lei Juekun and Bruce Lee, then turned to face the crowd, and told everyone about the current total box office of the drama "Big Brother Tangshan".

Although everyone knew that the box office situation was good, they were still shocked by the breakthrough of 5 million!

In this age when the monthly salary per capita is only five or six hundred yuan, a single movie has bought five million box office. What kind of miracle is this?

Immediately, everyone screamed in excitement.

Hong Jinbao clenched his fists!

Cheng Long even jumped up!

Yuan Biao grinned!

Yuan Hua couldn't wait to turn somersaults on the spot!

Shi Zhijian managed to appease everyone, and then said: "What I promised everyone will definitely be fulfilled! In addition to holding a celebration banquet, I am also preparing to set up a new art city Li family class!"

After finishing speaking, Shi Zhijian looked at Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others: "According to our previous discussion, Mr. Hong Jinbao will serve as the first shift leader of Li Jiaban, and Mr. Cheng Long will be the deputy shift leader! In terms of financial situation, I will invite special Personnel management~www.readwn.com~ As for the salary of everyone in Li Jiaban-----"

Shi Zhijian extended three fingers to Hong Jinbao and others: "Three times! Your salary is three times that of other film companies!"

"Wow! It's developed!"

Everyone excitedly hugged each other and shouted.

Hong Jinbao, Lin Zhengying and the others are slightly better kung fu stars, and they can get a maximum of 3,000 yuan for a movie in other companies, and three times is 30,000 yuan! And now, the highest salary of a superstar is only 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. There are very few people who earn 300,000 yuan like Wang Yu, Di Long, and Jiang David.

They can get one-tenth of each other's salary, which is absolutely amazing!

Especially the big-nosed Cheng Long was about to cry with joy. Compared with his Sanmao eldest brother Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long debuted a little later, and most of the roles he played were dead-on tricks, and he often acted as a substitute for actresses, doing better than others. A lot of money, but the salary is the least, because he is young, and he is always bullied by those veteran actors on the set. Now, as soon as the Li family class is established, he will have a family. Not only will his salary skyrocket, but he will still be able to rely on him in the future.

Finally, Shi Zhijian reiterated their role to the soon-to-be-established "Li Jiaban", that is, to assist Bruce Lee in shooting martial arts scenes, and to do a good job in martial arts design, as well as handle some difficult action scenes and so on.

In a word, Shi Zhijian said, "Don't underestimate yourself from the Li family class! Because each of you is a rare talent! In the future, I will also give you the opportunity to design stories for you according to the characteristics of each of you, help you Put your wings on and let you fly as high as you can!"

Hong Jinbao and others look at me, I look at you.

Some of them questioned whether it was true or not. After all, in this era, there are not many people who are willing to pay for their dragon and tiger martial arts! One is to spend money, and the other is to lose money easily!
