In early December 1980, Gongzhudao Tea Restaurant.

Nowadays, several major movie theater chains have begun to focus on summer vacation and Spring Festival movies. As the two owners of Yindu Cinema Chain, they also need to know their enemies thoroughly at the end of the year.

Mr. Wang from Yindu Cinema: "Shaw Brothers' Christmas show is Evil vs. Evil, which is a follow-up to Evil."

Zhang Cheng commented: "Although I haven't watched "Evil", I have heard about it. The scale of the erotic dancing in it is shocking. Nowadays, Shaw Brothers actresses only have one task left in the movie, to take off their clothes. I want to do this

"Evil vs. Evil" is also similar to this type of movie. The dead bones in the Shaw Brothers Tomb are nothing to be afraid of."

Now, Shaw Brothers movies have really taken a wrong path. Not only did they film "Evil" and the subsequent "Evil Fights Evil", but they will also film "Evil After Evil" in the future.

Don't you think this is going down a wrong path?

Mr. Wang from Yindu Cinema: "Jiahe is promoting Jin Bao's "Ghost Fight"."

Zhang Cheng was also speechless about the title of the Xiangjiang movie. Listen to this, evil fights evil, ghosts fight ghosts, and next year there seems to be a scary movie by Jin Bao. It’s endless, right?

Zhang Cheng: "Fortunately, Jinbao hasn't stepped out of the circle of costumed martial arts dramas yet. I think it's just the same as before, with an added ghost. Jinbao's movies still have box office appeal, but that's it. It's still worse than Brother Long.

Quite a few.”

Mr. Wang from Yindu Cinema Line: "As for Princess Jin, they are promoting New Art City's pioneering work, John Woo's "Funny Times."

Zhang Cheng: "I've heard about this. It's said to be a comedy film imitating Chaplin. Let's put it this way, I think the box office of these three movies combined may not be as good as the summer holiday "Happy Ghost", let alone this year's box office champion "

"Shaolin Boy"."

Mr. Wang of Yindu Cinema Line: "So, you can't even look down on our opponents in this year's Christmas season."

Zhang Cheng praised Mr. Wang: "Let's put it this way, our "Bleeding Heroes" are not afraid of them at all. In the words of Cao Cao, the only heroes in the world are Mr. Wang and Yaoer."

Then the two looked at each other and laughed together.

There is indeed no opponent in this year's Christmas episode of "The Bloody Heroes". There is no one who can fight. In the words of the senior brother, I am not targeting you, but I am saying that everyone here is rubbish.

On December 15, Oriental Sheng Pictures rented the Taiping Theater, which can accommodate 2,000 people, and held the premiere of "Bleeding Heroes". From Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Wang Jing, Fa Ge, Dasha, Li

Xiu Xian and Hong Gu took the stage to speak one after another. They talked about the filming process and creative process of the film.

Afterwards, Taiping Theater went dark and the big screen turned on. The subtitles read "Produced by Dongfang Sheng Pictures. Directed by Xu Ke."

The first scene was a gun battle in the song and dance troupe. Fa Ge assassinated a club boss and accidentally injured the eyes of the singing girl Hong Gu.

Then there was a literary drama interspersed with a gun fight scene. Li Xiuxian, who was arresting Fa Ge, also touched the card on Hong Gu to arrest Fa Ge. At this time, the three of them were blocked in the church by a group of gun-wielding community members. Behind the chairs

While dodging bullets, Fa Ge said to Li Xiuxian: "Go out and tell them that you are a policeman and ask them to put down their weapons and raise their hands to surrender."

This scene made the audience burst into laughter.

At this time, if you stand up, you will be beaten into a sieve. Who dares to stand up?

Then there is the big shootout at the highlight moment at the end. The shootout in the candlelight, the shootout in the flying doves, the shootout in front of the statue of Jesus...

Although everyone is a little regretful that Fa Ge, a kind and kind killer, died in the ending, but even if he survives, he will be caught by the police. Perhaps the killer dies in the end, which should be the best ending.

When the subtitles appeared, the audience applauded. This is a wonderful movie and a successful commercial film. Love and law, loyalty in the world, and the love between men and women are all included.

The violent aesthetics proposed by Zhang Cheng was used for the first time in Xiangjiang movies and conquered the audience.

Westerners may not understand why a gunfight among a group of pigeons has the aesthetics of violence. In fact, in the East, pigeons have always been messengers conveying important military information. They can also be regarded as messengers of the God of War, Hachiman Bodhisattva, which is the root of peace.

It has nothing to do with it.

Therefore, during the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang also sent doves to signal the start of the war - they were homing pigeons that notified the start of the war.

On the afternoon of the second day after the premiere, "The Heroes" was screened in all 16 theaters in Yindu, including the temporarily rented Taiping Theater.

It was also Zhang Cheng's good idea to release it in advance before the Christmas season.

Facts have also proven the correctness of this point.

After everyone has watched the mature violent aesthetic movie "Dragon", it's hard to watch "Evil" or "Ghost". It's too cliche. People would rather choose to watch it on Christmas and New Year's Day.

During the holidays, I went to watch the wonderful "The Two Bloods".

"Burlesque Times" is slightly better, but it is just a movie that imitates Chaplin. Not only does the protagonist's makeup and movements imitate Chaplin's, but even the plot is borrowed from Chaplin's movies, and there is nothing new. It is just a piece of cake.

.

In other words, Chaplin passed away, otherwise he would have jumped out to file a copyright lawsuit with Xinyi City.

Even before "Bloodshot" has been released, Dongfang Sheng Film Company is already preparing for the next hero shootout film.

Since Wu Yusen insisted on going to Xinyi City to compete with us, he was welcome. Zhang Cheng directly took out the script of "A Better Tomorrow".

However, the only shortcoming is that the script of "A Better Tomorrow" is a man's drama, and Hong Gu has no room to perform, and can only play Song Zijie's girlfriend. Zhang Guorong was still singing at this time, and he had acted in a street movie "Cheers", please

It's not difficult at all.

However, Ti Lung is the leading male actor of Shaw Brothers. It is not so easy to recruit. Historically, Ti Lung participated in "A Better Tomorrow" in 1986 because Shaw Brothers Pictures was in a state of suspension in 1986. Ti Lung was in Shaw Brothers

If there is no filming, of course he has to go out to pick up jobs in order to make money. Now that Ti Lung is allowed to film for Dongfang Sheng Pictures, which is cooperating with Yindu Cinema, he is being treated as a second-rate kid.

Nowadays, more and more Shaw Brothers movies are produced year by year, but the box office performance after release is worse than the last one. In the past, when Shaw Brothers became famous with its new martial arts movies in the 1960s, ten movies had

Nine movies make money, right now. It’s good if one or two movies out of ten make money. Of course, overseas Shaw Brothers can still make some money. In this way, local theater chain Shaw Brothers is also losing money every year.

Is the reason for the decline of Shaw Brothers similar to the failure of Napoleon? When Shaw Brothers was at its peak in the 1960s, Shao Yifu was in his fifties and sixties and still lived and ate on the set every day. Now Shao Yifu is in his seventies. You

It's also unrealistic to ask him to live, eat, sleep and watch the filming on the set.

Shao Yifu's younger wife, Fang Yihua, has been focusing on TVB. She has repeatedly persuaded Shao Yifu, who has no energy to take care of movies, to close down the film company and sell the theater chains to save money.

In fact, Shaw Brothers no longer relies on movies to make money. The Shaw Brothers have many profitable businesses, but Shaw Brothers Pictures is the life-long efforts of the Shaw brothers. It is not so easy for the elderly to give up these things. Back then, Shaw Brothers made money in the 1950s.

When I first returned to Hong Kong to host Shaw Brothers, Shaw Brothers' films were ahead of the leftist Great Wall Films.

In the end, Wang Jing hired veteran actor Guan Haishan from TVB to play the role of Song Zihao. Guan Haishan's aura makes him no problem playing the role of the boss Song Zihao. As the number one actor in Xiangjiang, Guan Haishan plays like an emperor and a beggar.

Acting well too.

Moreover, Guan Haishan was not trained by TVB itself. He only started taking roles in TVB in the past two years.

The film will be released in Hong Kong on January 18th, and "Once Upon a Time in China" will be released after yesterday's premiere. After completing the first round of screenings, "The Hero" has grossed 23.6 million at the box office.

Hong Kong Dollar. It was also the second movie in 1980 to have a box office of over 20 million. It was the runner-up at the box office in 1980. Happy Ghost had to be ranked third.

When Dongfang Sheng Pictures released the copyright income, Wang Jing went home with a huge sum of 136,000 yuan. When Wang Tianlin saw it, Wang Tianlin felt that his blood pressure was high. He pointed to the huge sum of money on the table and asked: "To be honest

, where did you get this money?”

Wang Jing: "The 100,000 yuan I brought home to pay off my mother's debt last time was an advance and could be considered a loan from the company. This part is the remainder of the advance. I was the screenwriter for Dongfang Sheng Pictures' "Bleeding Heroes", and I took it from

One percent copyright dividend. Now that the first round of screenings is over, the money has been distributed. It’s that simple.”

Wang Tianlin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not borrowed from loan sharks or proceeds from crime. Mr. Wang still knew his son's talent as a screenwriter: "No wonder you refused to go to work at the wireless station. You made me worry in vain. This Oriental

Sheng Pictures is very generous."

Wang Jing: "Yes, those of us behind the scenes have one-year contracts and salary increases based on market conditions. Actors are all under contract. The core members of the creative team can receive copyright dividends. They don't need contracts at all, just because they

It's generous enough. Look at how much money a screenwriter at a wireless station makes. That little money can't even rent a big house. With this money, you can almost buy a thousand-square-foot house."

Wang Tianlin asked: "Don't be in a hurry to buy a house. You can live here. I heard that your company's new drama, Once Upon a Time in China, has received a very good response. I heard them say this in the theater.

Well done."

Wang Jing: "That's it, good scripts, good actors, and good directors all come together. Can the filming be good? The point is, the movies of several other film companies are not innovative at all. According to what our boss Yao Ge said

, there is no one who can win this year’s New Year’s Eve.”

"Oh. By the way, you poached Guan Haishan to film some new movie?"

"Uh, let's have Guan Haishan play the club boss in a hero gunfight movie."

Even a busy person like Wang Tianlin has heard about the fame of Once Upon a Time in China, and ordinary citizens were shocked by this new martial arts film.

"Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Boys" were just test works of the new style of martial arts films. By the time of "Once Upon a Time in China", the new style of martial arts films were already very mature. People in the film industry went to see "Once Upon a Time in China".

"Ling Yun" just felt like the mountains were rising. How could someone dare to jump from a bell tower of more than ten meters, only to break through a layer of sunshade before landing. This alone is enough to leave a mark in history.

Not to mention that Wong Fei Hung’s shadowless kicks in the movie are almost uncountable in slow motion. I can only say, should this be called shadowless kicks? Those shadowless kicks of Wong Fei Hung in the previous movies are now

In front of Zhang Cheng's shadowless feet are baby-level shadowless feet.

When Huang Feihong was bombarded by foreigners on the ship, Huang Feihong flew up to grab the cannonball and stuffed it into the muzzle, causing the foreign cannon to explode. The audience exclaimed that it was exciting and enjoyable. In the past, those who could catch bullets were considered masters, but now they can

A man came out to catch cannonballs. He was indeed a master among masters.

For example, newspapers or movie biweeklies, etc. What I like more is the literary drama in "Once Upon a Time in China".

The Shahe Gang who took refuge in foreigners and helped foreigners catch women in "Once Upon a Time in China" is very similar to the wealthy Hong Kong people in Hong Kong who collude with the British and exploit the people of Hong Kong today.
