Chapter 93 Dragon World(1/3)
In September 1982, the six office buildings of Dongfang Sheng Pictures were in place, and the office multiplex theaters were renovated. The newly released films in the two new office buildings were "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" by leftist director Li Mouxiang and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" released in October.
The sequel "Listen Behind the Curtain".
In order to complete the layout of the cinema chain, Zhang Cheng temporarily owed the bank 300 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the current income of Dongfang Sheng Pictures, it can be repaid in one or two years.
Li Mouxiang himself has been banned by the island province for many years, so of course it doesn't matter, but Zhang Cheng knows that next year the new actor Liang Jiahui will also be banned by the island province. Left-wing artists must have this awareness. It's just an island market. Besides,
In fact, the Taiwan dollar is worthless. That is to say, those small film companies that make movies that cannot even be sold in Southeast Asia are reluctant to part with it.
In the eyes of leftists like Zhang Cheng, the so-called ban from the island is just a clown jumping off the leash, only to make people laugh.
In November, "Pretty Girl" was released following "Curtain Curtain", and in December, "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" was released. The four left-wing films all took in a box office of nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars. This result is the same as New Art City's best
The second part of The Best Partner shows great power and balance. Full content
Judging from the overall box office, in the entire year of 1982, the number ten at the box office was more than 10 million. In the film industry, people have begun to cheer for the arrival of the golden age of movies.
You know, the box office of Shaw Brothers Chang Cheh's new martial arts film "The One-Armed Sword" won the box office championship in Hong Kong with a box office of more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars. The movie with a box office of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars could have competed for the box office championship of that year at least three years ago.
A top three player, now they can only compete for tenth place.
This is evident from the rapid development of Hong Kong's film industry.
On January 10, 1983, Zhang Cheng's "Huo Yuanjia" was released. As the first hit star, Zhang Yao still had some box office appeal. Although in the previous film "Tang Bohu Spots Qiuxiang", only the last battle was a fighting scene.
It's also very refreshing.
As you can tell from the title, "Fearless" is a martial arts film. Fans of martial arts films will definitely not miss it.
In fact, the martial arts scenes of this fight drama did not disappoint everyone. After seeing the box office revenue of 1.5 million on the first day, Xu Ke also breathed a sigh of relief.
Movies, no matter how good they feel when you shoot them, it doesn't matter if the audience doesn't buy them. Now the box office revenue may not be as good as "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", but it is a movie that can make people laugh, even because it makes people laugh so hard.
Don’t let your favorite viewers watch movies consecutively or they will get stomachaches. Martial arts movies cannot compare to classic comedy movies.
In early March, "Fearless" was released in Hong Kong with a box office of RMB 33 million, which did not break the local box office record. But for a martial arts film, this is already a pretty good result. Jie Ge's "Shaolin Temple"
"Shaolin Boys" also had a box office of over 20 million.
In the past two years, apart from Dongfang Sheng Pictures' movies, no other company's movie box office has exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. The closest one has avoided the schedules of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" and "Fearless Fearless"
"The Best Partner Shows Their Magical Powers" grossed HK$18.5 million at the box office.
Although it is not as good as the historical box office, New Arts City still has something to offer. In order to show off its talents in this film, New Arts City spent 2 million Hong Kong dollars to poach Xu Guanjie, the younger brother of the cold-faced comedian, and broke up the three brothers of the Xu family.
Brother duo. In terms of box office, the second Best Partner movie indeed surpassed the first one. If it weren't for the sudden rise of Dongfang Sheng Pictures, this Best Partner movie would have been the box office champion in Hong Kong in 1982.
After "Huo Yuanjia" was finished, it was the second Hong Kong Film Awards, and Zhang Cheng took his wives to support him. Left-wing films, except for Zhang Cheng, all like to shoot literary and artistic films of the New Wave, and literary and artistic films are the most popular ones.
It's easy to win awards, but sometimes it's like "Father and Son", which is well-received but not popular.
"Into the Wrathful Sea" was unavailable because Andy was filming in Shushan. It was senior brother Lin Guobin who filmed "Into the Wrathful Sea". However, the senior brother did not win the Best Actor. The position of Best Actor went to Fa Ge from "A Better Tomorrow". Last year, windbreaker and sunglasses
The success of toothpicks is attributed to Fa Ge.
As a left-wing literary film, "Into the Wrath" still achieved well, winning best screenplay and best director.
This time, the Academy Award for Best Picture went to "Shushan". There is no doubt about this, because computer special effects ushered in a new era.
"Shushan" also won Best Cinematography and Best Art, all thanks to director Wang Jinghe's new digital camera.
The Best Actress award went to Yuen Pik-chi of "Pretty Girl", the youngest female actress born at the age of 17.
"Pretty Girl" is a film that reflects the real social problems in Hong Kong. At least it is more recognized by the judges than commercial films. Moreover, "Pretty Girl" is a well-received movie. The box office is better than that of "Father and Son".
It is much stronger.
The best action direction went to Hong Jiaban's "The Prodigal Son", the best film score went to the horror film "The Reborn". The best editing went to "Fright Night". The best newcomer went to the young actor in "The Wrathful Sea".
Ma. Best movie song went to the playful schoolgirl.
Although this time it is also a cake-sharing Academy Awards, commercial films still cannot compete with literary and artistic films in terms of winning awards. They can only be divided. If "A Better Tomorrow" hadn't been so outstanding, I think even Fa Ge's Best Actor would have won.
Not coming down. Historically, this time, both Mecca and Jinbao won the Best Actor.
And the Shaw Brothers movies, which were beginning to decline, failed to win anything at the Academy Awards this time. It seems that not only the audience doesn't like Shaw Brothers movies, but even the judges don't care what Shaw Brothers says.
Perhaps because he predicted that Shaw Brothers would not be able to participate in the Academy Awards this time, Shao Yifu, who participated in the first Academy Awards, did not come this time.
However, "Interstellar", a major production in which Shaw Brothers invested tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, received a box office of 120,000 yuan three days after its release, and was finally withdrawn in despair. It can be called a rare major investment failure by Shaw Brothers.
Shaw Brothers' style has always been to spend a small amount of money to do big things, and save money wherever possible, which also led to the continuous decline in the quality of the film, and was finally abandoned by the audience after the rise of Golden Harvest, New Art City and other companies.
In 1983, Zhang Cheng starred in the first film, and Lin Qingxia starred in the second and third films. He completed three "Swordsman" films in one year, all directed by Xu Ke.
The first part was released in the summer holiday season, and the second and third parts were released in the Christmas season and New Year season respectively. The audience had a good impression, but I heard that Mr. Jin was not very satisfied with the magical modification of Dugu Nine Swords such as the sword swing style.
Dongfang Sheng Pictures, which is full of talents, has been on the right track since then. Zhang Cheng spends more time at home with his wives.
Beginning in 1985, Zhang Cheng, who had not acquired land for a long time, took advantage of the Sino-British negotiations and took advantage of the sharp fall in stock market prices to acquire a large amount of cheap land from auctions. In addition to building the Dongfang Sheng Film and Television City in Yuen Long, he also built a project in the North District.
A large number of commercial buildings have been built in Yuen Long and Tseung Kwan O for rent and sale.
North District is a bit out of the way in Xiangjiang, but with the buses and subway, Xiangjiang is not that big to begin with, so it’s not too far to go anywhere.
The biggest advantage of housing prices here is that they are cheap. It is very cheap to buy land in Zhangcheng, and the selling and renting prices are not expensive. Moreover, it has solved the housing problem of hundreds of thousands of people.
At this time, the mainland only had a tougher attitude. The British finally had no choice but to cause trouble in Hong Kong. The collapse of housing prices and the stock market was all caused by the British behind the scenes, and a large number of wealthy people fled from Hong Kong.
The mainland doesn't care about this either. Anyway, it's a problem that occurred during the British governance, and it's none of my business.
The mainland, which has mastered a lot of alien technology, launched a space station earlier in 1985, which shocked the world.
According to the mainland's development plan, it will complete a series of ambitious space programs such as manned exploration of the moon in 1986, launch of a Mars probe in 1987, and launch of a space telescope in 1988.
Originally, the outside world thought that just launching a space station would cause the mainland to decline. However, in the next three years, the mainland verified everything it boasted step by step.
At this time, the foreign media began to report sourly, saying that for such a space program, one billion people in the mainland starved to death, etc.
At this time, more than 95% of the energy in the mainland uses nuclear fusion power plants, which are safe and pollution-free clean energy. If it were not for the huge cost of dismantling some hydropower stations, and the hydropower stations themselves do not generate electricity, they can also be used to prevent floods.
Otherwise, China would have developed a 100% nuclear fusion power plant long ago.
Solar-powered electric vehicles have become popular in China. They were first distributed to model workers, then ordinary workers, commune brigades, and finally even agricultural machinery were replaced by electric vehicles. Anyway, there are many electric vehicles.
The application of a large number of agricultural machinery and the cultivation of improved seeds have resulted in a substantial increase in grain production, and infrastructure has also been spread to every village across the country along with power grids, roads and railways. Two-thirds of the country is mountainous, and there is actually no shortage of land for building houses.
.With almost unlimited energy, it has become a popular trend in China to build houses and live near mountainous areas and ride in self-driving electric cars.
In the 1990s, a rural couple from the Mainland traveled to New York and exclaimed: "New York is developing too fast. It seems that in another 30 to 50 years, it will catch up with Tieling."
In 1990, a turning point recognized by the world, the space fleet built in the Mainland made its first stop on the moon, established a lunar patriotism education base, and officially began to announce human immigration to the moon.
The next stop for the Mainland Space Fleet will be Mars.
The Cold War has lost its meaning. A new pole of the world has been established on the earth.
In this year, Zhang Cheng, who was behind all this, realized the second magical power, the magical power of time.
This magical power of time does not allow Zhang Cheng to travel through the past and future, but it can change his own time and accelerate his time flow in a short period of time. In this way, the forward movement of the spell is omitted. It can also allow himself to continuously change age groups.
, one is a baby and the other is an elderly person.
Space magical powers and worldly magical powers are also the most common cosmic magical powers.
After acquiring the magical power of time, Zhang Cheng knew that the time had come and asked Lu'er to use Zatwin's corpse to refine a golden elixir-level clone elixir, and then continue to stay in Xiangjiang to guard the property and take care of his wife in place of his clone.
child.
This clone with the magical power of wood went to the next world without ancient gods.
Lu'er had already explored the road here in the early stage. This is a world where the ancient gods have truly died - the belief in the ancient gods has completely disappeared locally. Most of the power left by the ancient gods has been obtained by the locals, who have developed magic and fighting spirit here.
Two extraordinary systems and various monsters and strong men inherited by blood.
In such a world, it is really dangerous to have a golden elixir stage clone.
Zhang's clone, created through the magical power of space, came to a rural baron's town on the border, Bull Town.
Because it is close to the border, a large number of Kingdom troops are stationed at the pass not far from here. Since Buer Town is the last supply point after reaching the pass, it is quite prosperous.
Prosperity is only relative. It is more prosperous than medieval villages and towns.
Baron Boer does not have enough troops to protect the territory. In fact, most lords do not. It would be good if the few knights, a few trainee knights and dozens of soldiers under the baron can protect their castle. The safety of most towns is
Leave it to the mercenaries who are paid to do the work.
Because it is not only humans who benefit from the dissipation of the power of the ancient gods, some beasts also benefit from it and evolve into monsters. Various dragons fly past here, sometimes killing a town or destroying a city.
On the ground, the kingdom's army can do nothing more than guard the royal city and borders. However, all kinds of monsters and beasts in the mountains and plains, as well as cave-dwelling underground creatures, will come to the town at night to see if they can harvest something. Humans can't eat it.
It is also good to eat some livestock and poultry.
After staying in a hotel in the town for a few days, Zhang Chengcheng understood that the rulers of this world are actually dragons, but dragons also have wisdom. Occasionally, crazy dragons will massacre a village or town, just like humans.
The children of the world are like pouring boiling water on ants.
Adult dragons rarely do such things. Even if occasionally a dragon is killed by a human dragon-slaying hero, the dragon will not take revenge - just like after army ants kill someone, humans will not specifically kill army ants to take revenge.
As the rulers of the world, the Dragon Clan must of course maintain the diversity of species and civilizations in the world. Just like humans on earth will protect rare animals and species diversity.
The landlady brought a piece of stewed goblin meat to Zhang Cheng in the morning. Zhang Cheng said, "It's not good to include breakfast. You can eat whatever you have. Yesterday it was chicken, but today it's goblin meat."
Boss lady: "Today a goblin died in the chicken coop trap, so of course he has to eat goblin meat."
