1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 387 Flirting, the next Kung Fu superstar!
March 7th, late.

Jiang Xiaofeng and Fan Bingbing arrived in Hong Kong again to promote the new film "Ip Man" with martial arts director Sammo Hung, as well as Lam Jiadong, Simon Yam and others.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng has withdrawn from the Hong Kong music scene for several years and has rarely been active in Hong Kong in recent years, his popularity in Hong Kong is still more popular than that of ordinary singers.

After all, he was the superstar who single-handedly broke the monopoly of the Four Heavenly Kings. Whenever Jiang Xiaofeng comes to Xiangjiang, he will definitely cause quite a stir.

However, times have changed. Many of the people who came to see him back then were girls of seventeen or eighteen years old. Most of the fans who come now are already 25 or 30 years old, and some are even over [-] years old.

"Maple!"

"Maple!"

"..."

Listening to the cheers and shouts of the fans, Jiang Xiaofeng was also smiling. He felt as if he had returned to the past, to the years when he ruled the Hong Kong music scene in the 90s.

Seeing familiar and unfamiliar faces, Jiang Xiaofeng was not only happy but also felt warm.

Fans not only support Jiang Xiaofeng verbally, but also at the box office. The box office of "Ip Man" in Hong Kong also makes Jiang Xiaofeng very excited.

It is worth mentioning that on the first day of its release in Hong Kong, "Ip Man" scored 130 million at the box office, breaking out among Hollywood and ranking second in the box office list during the same period, second only to "Superman" Return".

Immediately afterwards, the box office results of "Ip Man" on the second, third and fourth days in Hong Kong were 150 million, 140 million and 120 million respectively.

In just four days, "Ip Man" has earned 530 million in Hong Kong. If the current trend continues, if nothing happens, it will only be a matter of time before "Ip Man" reaches [-] million.

Don't underestimate this 1000 million box office result. In the current Hong Kong film market, if a movie can exceed [-] million at the box office, it is basically locked in the top ten of the year.

When asked by a reporter what he wanted to say to the fans in Hong Kong after "Ip Man" was a hit at the box office in Hong Kong, Jiang Xiaofeng said with emotion: "Thank you all for always supporting me. I really appreciate it. I love you."

As soon as these words came out, there were screams again.

Unlike the mainland media, where everyone calls Jiang Xiaofeng "Director Jiang", the media in Hong Kong prefer to call him "Fengzi".

Jiang Xiaofeng also felt that it was quite friendly, because for a long time in the mainland, it was really rare to hear others call him "Fengzi".

Reporter: "Fengzi, will you release a Cantonese album in the future?"

After Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a moment, he did not say anything, but explained with a smile: "I think creation requires inspiration and will encounter bottlenecks. If there is a breakthrough, I will not exclude the possibility of releasing another Cantonese album."

Reporter: "Do you have any plans to come back to Xiangjiang to hold a concert this year?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said calmly: "Not yet. If we want to go on tour in the future, our first stop will definitely be Hung Hom!"

Although Jiang Xiaofeng has no plans to hold a concert for the time being, he said that his first stop would be the Hung Hom Stadium, which still aroused excited screams from local fans.

Silent night.

Stay at the hotel, presidential suite.

Thinking about seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's enthusiastic fans today, Fan Bingbing couldn't help but sigh: "You haven't released a Cantonese song in several years. I didn't expect you to be so popular in Hong Kong?"

Jiang Xiaofeng pretended to be sad and said: "It's not possible now. If you came to Xiangjiang a few years ago, you would know how popular I am in Xiangjiang."

Fan Bingbing asked with great interest: "The girl in Xiangjiang likes you so much. Tell me honestly, have you ever been in love with a female star in Xiangjiang before?" Jiang Xiaofeng asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Fan Bingbing immediately replied: "Obviously I'm asking you, why are you asking me instead?"

Without waiting for Jiang Xiaofeng to answer, Fan Bingbing continued: "You dare not answer directly, which means you must have talked to the female star in Xiangjiang. Can you tell me who she is?"

Seeing Fan Bingbing's gossipy look, Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Since you are so sure, you might as well make a guess. If you guess right, I will tell you."

Fan Bingbing suddenly became interested. He started guessing from Li Jiaxin. After guessing several names, but after they were all denied, he quickly guessed Zhou Huimin.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng was a little stunned and didn't say "yes" or "no", Fan Bingbing suddenly realized: "It's her after all. Let me tell you, you boys must all like a pretty girl like Zhou Huimin."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "I didn't say anything. This is all your own guess."

Fan Bingbing obviously didn't believe Jiang Xiaofeng's words, and then added: "How can you be such a shameless person? You just said that if I guessed right, you tell me, liar, big liar, I will ignore you!"

Jiang Xiaofeng said proudly: "That's great. After a busy day, I want to sleep a long time ago."

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng pretending to sleep, Fan Bingbing became anxious and said hurriedly: "Don't sleep, you make me unable to sleep, you must be responsible for me!"

Jiang Xiaofeng asked with a smile: "How do you want me to be responsible?"

Fan Bingbing said angrily: "I want you to sleep with me in my arms."

After a few flirtations, Jiang Xiaofeng and Fan Bingbing kissed each other as usual.

It wasn't until 2 a.m. that the room became calm again.

With the huge sales of the movie "Ip Man" on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, "Ip Man" has become the most popular domestic film in the summer season, and has been hailed as the "most touching" and "most perfectly matched" movie. Martial arts film, "It is the best martial arts film in China in the past 5 years and the best one."

The People's Daily website even called "Ip Man" "a truly great movie."

In Hong Kong, some film critics even called "Ip Man" "one of the best films of 2006", and Jiang Xiaofeng was even named "the next kung fu superstar".

In terms of action scenes, the scene where one fights ten is naturally the most classic, with a series of uninterrupted attacks, and the visual effects are full of speed and power. At this time, Donnie Yen's Ip Man has a murderous look in his eyes, which is also the first time for many viewers. This is the first time I really saw Jiang Xiaofeng's acting skills.

The game with Miura at the end was also very exciting, with multi-camera shooting and sharp editing, the opponent was quickly and accurately eliminated. Watching this short fight carefully, you can also see the exquisite action design.

Under the polish of Jiang Xiaofeng, the character of Ip Man appears to be very elegant, low-key, humble to his neighbors, but a little afraid of his wife, but at critical moments he can beat ten of them one by one, and for the sake of national integrity, he can defeat Japanese officers even on an empty stomach.

Compared with Donnie Yen's "Slaying the Wolf" and "The Fuse", the plot is only to advance the action, while Jiang Xiaofeng's "Ip Man" achieves the complementarity of literary and martial arts.

Especially at this point in 2006, the anti-Japanese drama was not yet popular, and the combination of dramatic effects and historical background, playing the Japanese people was undoubtedly the most able to arouse the national attention of the Chinese people, and it was also a novel setting.

Along with the praise, criticism also followed, such as "The biggest shortcoming of "Ip Man" is that there is no suspense", and some people bluntly regarded "Ip Man" as "a smaller version of a generation of Japanese kung fu masters".

Of course, the success of the movie "Ip Man" also has external factors. Because there are no high-quality kung fu movies on the market, this IP has been able to come to the fore.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Jet Li has faded out of the film industry. If Jet Li still focused on making movies, Jiang Xiaofeng would not be so famous. "There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king" is the most appropriate way to describe it.
