Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 206 Breaking the Record Again
After everyone entered and took their seats, "Five Lucky Stars" was officially released.

What appeared at the beginning of the movie was Sammo Hung's face full of joy.

He is wearing a black night suit so that the audience immediately realize that this guy is a thief.

After observing the surroundings, Sammo Hung chose one of the villas.

With agility, he climbed over the wall of the villa and slipped in in just a few strokes.

But before he had time to rummage through the boxes, he was startled by the sudden scene of celebrating the male host's birthday.

Just when everyone thought that Sammo Hung would escape smoothly by relying on the steel cable in the end, they didn't expect him to slip into the police car directly.

And then there are the other three lucky stars, appearing one after another with their own stories.

Especially when Cen Jianxun, who speaks Chaozhou Cantonese, appeared on the stage and gave a speech for the mistake, the audience couldn't help laughing.

"The curly hair is well cast."

In addition to ordinary audiences, many filmmakers also came to join in.

This includes Tsui Hark, as well as Lin Fan, the screenwriter of "Butterfly Change".

At this time, Tsui Hark was favored by Wu Siyuan because he filmed "Golden Sword Lover" in Jiashi. He felt that he had great potential, so he paid for Tsui Hark to make a movie.

After finally getting an opportunity, Tsui Hark intends to show what he has learned in this movie.

And the "Butterfly Change" he is going to shoot is adapted from "Vampire Moth" in Gu Long's Six Chapters of Cry.

It's a pity that the current Tsui Hark is not the one who will be called Old Monster Xu in later generations.

At this time, he still doesn't understand what kind of movie the audience likes.

He is now making movies he likes, which are far from real commercial movies.

And Lin Daoqiu's "Five Lucky Stars" is a purely commercial film, a purely funny movie.

At least in Tsui Hark's view, the film's commercial value is considered perfect, but unfortunately it has no artistry, which is completely contrary to the film he pursued.

But unlike Tsui Hark, Wang Jing who was sitting on the other side was quite happy watching.

The artistic value of movies is not worth mentioning in Wang Jing's eyes. For him, making movies to make money is the kingly way.

Chu Yuan told Wang Jing when he entered the industry that he can do anything in filmmaking, except for one thing, which is that he must be a blockbuster.

Wang Jing participated in the screenwriting of two dramas last year, but unfortunately none of them were blockbusters.

In order to find out what movies the audience likes to watch, Wang Jing specially bought tickets to enter the theater today to learn.

He wanted to see what kind of movie "Five Lucky Stars", which was likely to sell well, was like.

I have to say, compared to Tsui Hark's judgmental, Wang Jing laughed from the beginning to the end when watching it, because this drama is very suitable for him.

But such a big production, no one will invest in him, and it is impossible for him to afford just the three of Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao.

Wang Jing felt that if she came to film this movie by herself, most of the people would disappear.

Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao must not even think about it. As for the huge group of dragon and tiger warriors, he would not be willing to use them even if he could afford them.

Shaking her head, the more Wang Jing thought about it, the more helpless she felt. After all, such a lineup was not something ordinary people could afford from the beginning to the end.

That is to say, Lin Daoqiu is willing to spend money to make such a film. If it were him, he could make four or five movies with this money.

Besides being funny, Lin Daoqiu also arranged a big scene.

For example, Jackie Chan started chasing the thief from the park, and chased him to the back. Because he thought the speed of the car was too slow, he directly passed through the middle of a large truck that was still moving.

Seeing this, almost everyone on the scene gasped.

This is no joke, if you make a mistake, you will be run over by a big truck.

In order to make this scene well, Lin Daoqiu called Chen Yiyan and Ke Shouliang over and asked them to be in charge of arranging the scene.

In addition to the thrilling scene of Jackie Chan, there were more than a dozen car collisions.

Lin Daoqiu's request is very simple, that is, when shooting, it must be very realistic.

Although most of the cars are actually scrap iron, with the engines and stereos inside completely removed, there are still a few cars that are genuine.

One must know that Lin Daoqiu burned as much as 20 yuan just for this scene.

But fortunately, Lin Daoqiu was quite satisfied with the final result, after all, it was spent with real money.

This is just a small scene, if Chen Yiyan and the others can't handle it well, then they definitely won't be able to participate in "Mission Impossible".

In the end, the movie reached the end of the warehouse battle, which is also one of the biggest selling points of the movie "Five Lucky Stars".

The three brothers Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao went into battle together and fought with more than a dozen famous martial artists.

In ordinary movies, it is not bad to get a few familiar martial artists, but Lin Daoqiu pulled almost everyone in the Hong family class who could be called by name at once.

Moreover, he was still not satisfied with this, and he even sent people to Shaw Brothers' Qingshuiwan studio to find Dewey and others for help.

After some great fights, the film finally ends on a happy note, with the bad guys brought to justice and the good guys rewarded.

After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Lin Daoqiu does not want to cause trouble for everyone at this time.

And on the promotional and movie posters, it has already been written to celebrate the New Year happily.

When the movie ended, the audience's warm applause had already indicated that this movie would definitely have a good result.

Early the next morning, when Lin Daoqiu was still wandering in his sleep, the disturbing phone rang suddenly.

"Hello, who is it?"

When Lin Daoqiu answered the phone, he made no secret of his impatience.

He doesn't like to be disturbed while sleeping, because if he is not well rested, he will have no energy throughout the day.

"Brother Qiu, great news, the box office of "Five Lucky Stars" on the first day has already exceeded 150 million..."

On the other end of the phone, from the voice of Zheng Danrui, he knew that he was very excited now.

This is the first movie to be shown in Golden Harvest Cinemas, and it's no wonder he's so excited for a movie that broke through 150 million box office on the first day.

But for this news, Lin Daoqiu didn't have much reaction, he just hummed, then hung up the phone and went back to bed to sleep.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't respond, it doesn't mean that other people will ignore this matter.

It's a pity that the box office came out too late, otherwise, the entertainment pages of major newspapers would definitely use the headlines on the front pages to report.

You know, this is a movie that breaks the box office record of Golden Harvest Cinemas.

Even when Sammo Hung was having morning tea and heard about the box office, he couldn't help showing a shocked expression.

"Mr. Lin's attack is really extraordinary."

Zhong Fa is a staunch supporter of Lin Daoqiu. After he finished speaking, the people around him also nodded in agreement.

If there were people in Hong's class who doubted Lin Daoqiu's ability before, no one would have such an idea now.
