Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

In the final outcome, Luo Lei and Danny went to their boss with a bomb and asked to press the password in front of their boss.

The boss panicked; "Are you crazy? Are you going to detonate a bomb in the city center?"

"I thought the code was for defuse the bomb. Do you mean, is it for detonating the bomb?"

"Stop joking, you obviously know it!"

"I don't know, please explain!"

"The Kowloon Walled City has gotten out of control, and taxpayers are complaining. Let's clean them all out!"

"Clean with this bomb?"

"Yes, it's not fair, but it's effective."

"Then clean it!"

Danny pressed the code!
The boss was so frightened that he hid under the table.

Luo Lei said with a smile: "This bomb is so powerful, what's the use of hiding from it?"

Of course the bomb did not explode, it had been defused long ago.

The boss stood up and Danny said: "Smile to the audience one last time!"

He turned on the TV, which was showing their conversation live.

It turned out that Laura was upstairs opposite and recorded this scene with a camera.

The lives of tens of thousands of people were saved, and the villains who conspired were punished. The government ordered the walls to be demolished and the people in the walled city to be moved out so that they could live a normal life.

The perfect ending!

Amid warm applause, Yang Ye returned to the stage with the creatives.

Deborah patted her chest and said, "It's so exciting, I almost have a heart attack."

Zhou Xingchi said: "That's right! Especially the light skills shown in the movie are really fascinating!"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "If you want to learn, I will teach you!"

Zhou Xingchi immediately clasped his hands and said loudly: "Master, please accept my bow!"

Donnie Yen immediately stepped forward to stop him: "If you want to become a disciple, you must pass my test first!"

"Hahahaha!" The two sang and made jokes, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

Deborah watched them play tricks for a while, and then asked: "You must want to know how these shots were shot, right? Can Mr. Yang give an answer?"

Yang Ye said calmly: "Just shoot."

"Those who jump off buildings and so on, do they also jump directly?"

Yang Ye nodded: "Jump directly without any protective measures."

Deborah took the lead in applauding: "This is filming with your life. This spirit deserves recognition from all of us!"

Amid a burst of warm applause, Yang Ye said: "I want to emphasize here that after watching the movie, some viewers may think the scenes in it are cool and want to imitate them. This is very dangerous. If you are not a professional, please don't. Try it easily, remember it!”

Deborah said: "Yes, we must emphasize this. Please pay attention to safety, cherish life, and don't imitate the scenes in the movie easily."

Next, as usual, the creators answered some questions from the audience, and the premiere came to an end.

The next day, the news of the premiere of "Kowloon Walled City" immediately made the entertainment headlines of major newspapers.

During prime time on ATV, clips of parkour performances by Yang Ye, Donnie Yen and others began to be shown.

Although these clips lasted only a few dozen seconds, they were extremely exciting and made the audience feel scratchy and eager to rush into the cinema to watch the movie.

All of a sudden, Baiyang Cinema’s ticket booking phone lines were filled with calls, and there was a long queue at the on-site ticket window.

Faced with such popularity, theaters have of course arranged a large number of films, and "I Love Tuberose", which was bumped into the schedule of New Art City, was unlucky.

The film schedule of "Kowloon Walled City" exceeded 60%, which squeezed the film schedule of "I Love Tuberose" to only 30%.

The main creators of New Art City couldn't help but sigh, especially Teddy Robin, who was a director for the first time, and cried out that he was unlucky.

To make matters worse, "I Love Tuberose" actually conflicts with the plot of "Kowloon Walled City".

"I Love Tuberose" tells the story of scientists who develop a super weapon that splits uranium. This weapon can lead to the destruction of mankind, which triggers various parties to compete for this weapon.

The gag comedy meets the hard-hitting action, coupled with the incredible urban parkour, it really hits the spot.

On Easter, there was a long queue outside Baiyang Cinema. Two new movies were released and it was a holiday. Everyone came to support them.

While people were queuing up, audiences kept coming out of the theater, most of them looking excited and talking about the plot.

"Damn, that move through the window is really sharp."

"I think the action of hiding from the car is exciting. The two of them flew up. Damn it!"

"Brother, which one do you want to watch?" A man who was waiting in line couldn't help but asked when he saw that they were chatting happily.

"Of course it's "Kowloon Walled City"!"

"Does it look good?"

"Absolutely wonderful. I want to raise a Li Saifeng."

"What do you mean by wanting to raise a Li Saifeng?"

"Hahaha, you'll know when you go in and take a look." The guy walked away with a lewd smile.

The man was so itchy that he finally got to the ticket window and said immediately: "Bring me a copy of "Kowloon Walled City"!" "It's sold out today, only "I Love Tuberose", do you want it?"

"Depend on!"

……

Xinyi City, struggling room.

Huang Baiming said: "Jiang Zhiqiang just called and said that the filming of "I Love Tuberose" will be scheduled at 5 o'clock tomorrow."

"Damn, isn't this bullying?" Shi Tian said. "

Teddy Robin said: "Cinema theaters have to make money. Jiang Zhiqiang has given us a lot of respect by keeping the film schedule for Easter three days."

Huang Baiming is a person who has suffered a lot. He said: "Our film schedule is half of others, and the box office is only 20% of others. Our skills are not as good as others, so there is no way to reduce the film schedule."

Shi Tian said: "That's not what you calculated. "Kowloon Walled City" occupies the prime time period and gives us all the entertainment time. How can it beat others?"

"I Love Tuberose" had high hopes, but it turned out that on such a good Easter schedule, it only had a box office of more than 2 million in three days of release. The creators of New Art City really broke through.

And this is not a problem with the movie. People who watched the movie thought it was funny and gave it good reviews.

A group of people made some remarks and looked at Mai Jia, who had the most shares.

Mai Jia thought for a while and said: "Yang Ji's film scheduling rules are relatively fair. Whoever's film is a hit will be scheduled more films to occupy a good time slot.

When our movie was released before, we got a lot of advantage because of this rule.

This time it was an accident. We all thought that Yang Ye's movie would be on the summer schedule, but who knew that he would suddenly be on the resurrection schedule?
In Hong Kong, the person who can defeat Yang Ye in a head-to-head confrontation has not yet been born, and it is not okay to refuse to accept it. This time we are committing a crime other than war.

Fortunately, Yang Ye only shoots one movie a year, so let's stay a little bit hidden and just ask first when scheduling the movie in the future. "

Teddy Robin sighed, he thought he was unlucky anyway.

Shi Tian couldn't help but ask: "Have you discussed with Boss Lei about building our own theater?"

Mai Jia said: "The market in Hong Kong is in such chaos now, and Boss Lei's place is so messed up, how can he be in the mood to build a theater?"

The most valuable property in Lei Juekun's hands is the shares of Kowloon Construction. As the stock price plummeted, his current net worth has shrunk by more than half.

Now the people at New Art City want him to quit Baiyang Cinemas, which has a stable output, and form his own cinema?
How can it be? He's not crazy!
Even if he is crazy, he has no money!
……

There is a term in the United States called the "lipstick effect"!
In the 1930s, the United States fell into the Great Depression. Stock prices plummeted and people wailed. Many people lost their jobs and lived on the streets, homeless.

But what is surprising is that the lipstick sold very well at that time!
It turns out that when the economy was in recession, people's consumer psychology and consumption concepts changed greatly, causing cheap products such as lipstick and culture to sell like hotcakes.

Later, Estee Lauder analyzed market demand and further verified the "lipstick effect."

When the economy is in recession, people need more psychological comfort and happiness. Lipstick represents confidence and beauty. It represents a kind of vitality, it is not expensive, but it can cheer people up.

At the same time, people also need an outlet to vent, which also explains the enthusiasm when "King Kong" was released in 1933. King Kong stepped on the Empire State Building, and when he beat his chest, he seemed to be roaring: I have done enough cooking, I want to stand up.

During the financial crisis in the 30s, all industries in the United States were at a standstill, with the exception of one industry: Hollywood movies.

Through the lipstick effect and the psychological analysis behind it, it is not difficult for people to come to the conclusion that people who are too depressed need entertainment and vent.

This is the situation in Hong Kong now!
The future is uncertain and the currency is depreciating wildly. People want to spend their money quickly.

Otherwise, who knows what day it will become paper.

As a result, people began to eat, drink and have fun, making the business of Donglai Plaza reach its peak period since its establishment.

The box office of the movie "Kowloon Walled City" has also been soaring, and it only took half a month to exceed the 20 million mark.

This movie not only has great action and cool parkour, but also scratches the itch of Hong Kong citizens with its plot about the government's craziness.

One month after its release, the box office of "Kowloon Walled City" exceeded HK$28 million, allowing Yang Ye to regain the title of Hong Kong box office record holder.

Of course, there is a price increase factor in this. The average ticket price in Hong Kong this year has increased to 10 yuan, which is 1 yuan more than last year.

This box office is already at its limit. If we want to exceed 30 million, we have to wait until next year to increase ticket prices again.

On the other hand, the final box office of New Art City's "I Love Tuberose" was only more than 6 million, which was half the amount compared to the original time and space.

In fact, this is normal. On the one hand, he bumped into Yang Ye and hit the iron plate.

On the other hand, the protagonist of the movie "Original Time and Space" is Lin Qingxia, but the protagonist of "Original Time and Space" is changed to Sylvia Chang, whose appeal is much worse.

Of course they can't invite Lin Qingxia and they won't.

Lin Qingxia went to the mainland without authorization. Although she was not named by Taiwan, she was soft-blocked.

Not to mention that she has a baby, so she has no time to film.

Yang Ye persuaded Lin Qingxia to accept "New Shushan Swordsman". After all, it was a piece of film history.

With the box office of "Kowloon Walled City" soaring, the sport of "Qing Kung" has once again been pushed to the forefront.

Many young people watch the movie over and over again, pondering the parkour moves in it and trying to imitate them. Many young people have even been injured as a result.

Regarding this matter, Yang Ye had to go on TV to appeal to everyone not to imitate it randomly.

He also said that a documentary will be released to elaborate on this movement.

Will there be a documentary for a while? Yang Ye is preparing for another thing.

After ten years, the Hung Hom Stadium, the palace of Hong Kong musicians, was finally completed and officially opened.

The first concert held at the Coliseum is Yang Ye's "Ten Years" concert! (End of chapter)
