Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 178
"Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" originally invited a Korean kung fu star in the previous life.

But now that there is Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung naturally doesn't need to consider others.

In addition to the combination of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, Lin Zhengying played Liang Zan, Zhong Fa played the villain Boss Mo, and Shi Tian played the master.

In this life, because of the relationship between Lin Zhengying and Ye Zhun who learned Wing Chun, and the success of "Ip Man", this alone can attract a lot of audiences.

Generally speaking, this drama is more mature than before, and the hard bridge and hard horse Wing Chun made the audience shout and enjoy it after watching it.

On the other hand, Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master" is basically a story about revenge.

However, compared to Yuen Biao's righteous face, Jackie Chan is obviously more witty and humorous than him, and he is more relaxed in the performance of the movie.

In "Drunken Master", Jackie Chan added funny and funny plots.

Molesting the cousin, beating the evil little, eating free food, and those lazy and tricky methods that he thought of when he was learning Kung Fu with Su Qier, these are not like the actions of a hero.

But Jackie Chan didn't think about shaping himself into that kind of hero or hero at the beginning.

On the contrary, he has positioned his role as a small person from the very beginning, who will do some bad things, and will be lazy and tricky, so that he is closer to ordinary people.

Although "Drunken Master" is the same as Yuen Biao's play in terms of genre, in terms of plot and feeling, "Drunken Master" obviously makes ordinary audiences feel completely new.

During the screening, the audience laughed constantly, which relieved Jackie Chan, who had been very nervous, to some extent.

"You don't have to worry. I didn't see everyone laughing so happily. I think this movie will definitely have a good box office."

Wu Siyuan, who was sitting next to Jackie Chan, knew that Jackie Chan had been worried about the box office of "Drunken Master" these days, so it was inevitable that he would be so nervous.

However, judging from the reaction of the audience, at least in the eyes of the audience, this drama is still good.

As for what Wu Siyuan said, Jackie Chan also nodded. Now he can only hope in his heart that this drama will sell better.

If he can surpass "Serpentine Hand", he will be very satisfied.

Compared with the kung fu themes of "Drunken Master" and "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua", Lin Daoqiu's romantic comedy is much less attractive in terms of subject matter.

There is neither hard work, nor love-hate entanglement. There are just some trivial matters encountered by an ordinary young couple in order to get married.

Investment failure, girlfriend's nagging, mother-in-law's making things difficult, as well as the banquet and house required for marriage, these are undoubtedly huge pressures on the male protagonist.

There are many viewers at the scene. While watching the movie, they can't help but think about themselves from the perspective of the male (female) protagonist.

What should you do if you encounter such a situation.

After all, weddings and funerals are things that most people will encounter in their lives, and no one can escape.

Although they are no longer newcomers, Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun sitting in the audience are still very nervous.

After all, this romantic comedy suffers from the subject matter, not to mention that Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao's kung fu movies will be released at the same time.

Even with the support of Wen Na's disbandment, if the movie wants to get a good box office, it still needs to rely on its strength to speak.

After the movie ended, the audience still burst into applause as a response to the play, and the first day passed like this.

""Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" 76, "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" 50, "Drunken Master" 40."

When this result came out, basically no one was surprised by it.

"Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" has Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung and Lin Zhengying, three popular martial arts stars. This lineup can attract a large number of movie fans as soon as it is set up.

And "Drunken Master" had fewer shows than Yuen Biao, so even though the attendance rate was good, it only got 40 box office.

Compared to Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan, Lin Daoqiu was much happier, because Shaw Brothers didn't have any strong movies in the same period, so Fang Yathua allocated [-] theaters to him.

However, because it borrowed the wind from Winner, the attendance rate is not bad, at least much better than the movies of the same period.

And this drama does not have any information about Lin Daoqiu, so the audience does not know that this drama has something to do with Lin Daoqiu.

When the box office came out, the two guys finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it would be no problem for the box office to break one million, and maybe it could climb to 200 million.

But when everyone was paying attention to these three movies, Lin Daoqiu was suddenly invited by Fang Yathua to the Peninsula Hotel, because someone was waiting for him here.

For Run Run Shaw, a legendary figure, Lin Daoqiu had only seen a lot of news about him on the Internet, but this was the first time he had seen a real person.

"Mr. Lin, I have admired you for a long time."

At this time, Run Run Shaw was already 71 years old. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with an elegant demeanor, sitting there with a smile on his face.

Before that, Run Run Shaw had actually heard a lot about Lin Daoqiu, but he was most interested in movies.

"I'm really sorry for making Uncle Liu wait so long."

After shaking hands with the other party, Run Run Shaw asked Lin Daoqiu to sit down, and Fang Yat Hua sat next to Run Run Shaw.

"Actually, I wanted to meet Mr. Lin before, but because everything was complicated, I couldn't take the time."

It can be said that in this life, Run Run Shaw's favorite and favorite thing is the film business.

But it is a pity that in the past few years, the situation of Shaw Brothers has deteriorated day by day. The big studio system that he was proud of before has now become a stumbling block hindering the development of Shaw Brothers.

Outstanding talents such as Bruce Lee and the Hui Brothers, all because of this relationship, finally missed Run Run Shaw.

But even if he did it all over again, Run Run Shaw would still reject them.

Because this is not just a matter of individual stars or directors, but is related to the business direction of the entire Shaw Brothers Company.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang saw that Shaw Brothers could not make up their minds to reform these shortcomings, so they left Shaw Brothers and chose to use another model to make movies.

Looking at it now, it is clear that Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang have succeeded, and the Shaw Brothers is already at sunset.

"If Uncle Six wants to see me, all he needs to do is say hello."

Lin Daoqiu behaved very modestly, and did not show the appearance of being proud and conceited because of some achievements, which Run Run Shaw appreciated very much.

"I heard that you have been filming in Baodao recently?"

Lin Daoqiu nodded, and Run Run Shaw asked with a smile, "Does Mr. Lin have any opinions on Wireless?"

It's normal for Run Run Shaw to think this way. After all, Lin Daoqiu has already helped Li's film two TV series, and his actions are undoubtedly aimed at TVB.

"Uncle Liu was joking, how could I have that kind of thought, Mr. Huang asked me to help make three films, since I agreed, I have to do my best."

When Fang Yihua at the side heard what Lin Daoqiu said, a half-smile appeared on her face.

Is Lin Daoqiu really the kind of person who can't afford it early?People who haven't dealt with him may think so.

But Fang Yihua thought he knew Lin Daoqiu somewhat, and he must have some kind of purpose in helping Li, but he hasn't seen it yet.
