new kung fu king

Chapter 366

"Man can be destroyed, but not defeated. "

"Ming Pao" film and television commentary feature reporter Yi Xiujia expressed his views on "A Hu" with this title: "This theme from Hemingway's immortal masterpiece "The Old Man and the Sea" was reinterpreted by the Hong Kong movie "A Hu". It's embarrassing, but as far as I'm concerned, the thinking brought about by this film is not just a simple copy of "The Old Man and the Sea". Although the struggles faced by the characters are similar, the emotional backgrounds of the characters are different. The old man is just The old man, naked and careless, comes and goes with nothing; Ah Hu is not just a boxer, he is also Ploy's father, and the nun's new boyfriend."

"In this famous saying handed down from generation to generation, in fact, it should be based on a fighting outlook on life that is either one or the other, or loses or wins. However, from the perspective of a person's entire life, it is difficult to say what wins or loses." Lost So what if you win the world?’ was chanted repeatedly. I think this has something to do with the multi-elements of life. Life can’t just be fishing and boxing at a time. People can do their best in a single element and fight for victory at all costs. At least you must win the dignity of immortality for yourself. But once you enter a multi-element context, you can’t speak so high-profile. You have to make a trade-off, and you have to sacrifice the achievements of a certain element to achieve overall harmony Just like in "Ahu", Ahu on the stage did not hesitate to prove himself with his wealth and life, Ploy in the audience cried like tearing apart, the nun burst into tears, Ahu completed the sublimation of himself and lost a lot of fights at the same time Sai is more worthy of his treasure."

"So, The Old Man and the Sea is one-elemental. It's more like a football game. It's the Old Man and the Sharks, it's coming to an end, it's up in the air, everybody's exhausted, everyone People are still running. Can't lose! Never lose! And "A Hu" has multiple elements. It cannot be compared to a ball game. People who are familiar with football should know a sentence that is often mentioned in European football: " Football is not everything. "It is not recommended to risk self-injury or injury to the opponent's goalkeeper at the last moment. Everyone still has a future life, as well as wives and children. Relatively speaking, I am more looking forward to the second ending of "A Hu". What method will Wang Xiaohu use to resolve this seemingly simple but thought-provoking topic.”

Yi Xiujia's [-]-character film review article was quickly sought after by most citizens. Of course, there were also many voices of opposition. Here, "Hong Kong Women's Daily" reporter Zhang Meijuan seemed to be on par with Yi Xiujia.

Zhang Meijuan believes that "it is undeniable that while Wang Xiaohu earned everyone's tears this time, he also left behind a heavy topic. After watching "A Hu" for the third time, I was still shocked by the ending of the film, but Touched, Ah Hu has undertaken too much, only on the boxing ring can he truly realize self-salvation, for Pim, for Ploy, for the nuns, for everyone related to Muay Thai, he must complete his unfinished business on the boxing ring I finally achieved self-salvation and persisted in the ring until the last moment."

"From that moment on, I felt the substance of what Wang Xiaohu wanted to express through the film, just like an ignorant child suddenly enlightened. Really, I found that I understood many concepts that were vague before. Being a human being Just like this, be ashamed of your heart, yourself, and those who love you, so that life has meaning.”

"Another person worthy of praise is Zhao Yazhi. She knows how to grasp some subtle bits to express the emotions and thoughts of the characters. A smile, a look or a simple body-language are also the soothing points for the tension in the movie. Of course, Weng Meiling who plays Ah Hu's daughter Ploy is really eye-catching."

A reporter who had angrily scolded Wang Xiaohu in front of the media and dragon fans a year ago published a very interesting article.

"I saw another Ah Hu in Ah Hu"

Although the name sounds a bit convoluted, the article is eloquent, "Many people say that after Bruce Lee passed away, Hong Kong movies died, but I don't think so! When Bruce Lee was alive, Hong Kong movies were the most dazzling moment, just like Ah Hu was invincible in the arena when he was young, and he was so aggressive, while the old look on Ah Hu's face after he was imprisoned and released from prison is a metaphor for the downturn and bewilderment of Hong Kong movies after Bruce Lee's death. I was deeply encouraged. When Ah Hu stepped into the ring to defend his dignity, I seemed to think of the moment when Wang Xiaohu tried his best to bring Hong Kong movies back to life with comedy kung fu a year ago. Persistence, implying the darkest struggle in Hong Kong movies, from which we can see how tormented Wang Xiaohu was at that time. Fortunately, Ahu won, Wang Xiaohu won, and Hong Kong movies were reborn from nirvana to welcome a new beginning. Wang Xiaohu, you are the best of!"

After reading this article, Wang Xiaohu grinned foolishly. To be honest, he admired this reporter named Long Xiaoxia. Although he didn’t know if it was his real name, his ability to talk nonsense showed his skill. Profound, God knows, Wang Xiaohu filmed "A Hu" just because he liked "A Hu", which was not as great as Long Xiaoxia said, and he also admired Long Xiaoxia's ability to "distort" a simple problem into such a complicated one , so persuasive.Although it was made up, Wang Xiaohu liked it very much!

"The biggest winner of the Oscars - the third film starring Tiger himself was released in North America, causing a huge sensation. According to incomplete statistics, about 800 theaters in the United States were screened at the same time, and the attendance rate reached 75%. As "Rocky" In the oriental version of "Rocky", we can see that Tiger has created a plump father boxer for us. People think that Tiger's performance is so pure and pure, and he is very likely to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor. This oriental man has set off a whirlwind of Muay Thai in the United States. He is really an amazing guy!" "Los Angeles Daily" reporter Ben Fox wrote in the newspaper Kissing.

The controversy over the ending of "A Hu" has been raging in the newspapers for several days. Along with the heated discussions in major newspapers, the audience has become very interested in the second ending that Wang Xiaohu holds in his hands, and they strongly demand that Wang Xiaohu Release the second edition of "A Hu" as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, at least you have to wait until the first edition is finished!" Wang Xiaohu said to the anxious reporters with a smirk. When the reporters heard the news, they were blown up on the spot. You, Wang Xiaohu, are so bad, you are broken to the bone Yes, this is clearly intended to trigger an upsurge in the second round of screenings!

That's right, that's what Wang Xiaohu thought. When he was preparing for the two endings, he had already considered it. This year's summer file has no rivals, so he used this method to add the release time of the film, that is to say, using the first The controversy brought about by one version paves the way for the second round of release. I believe that the box office of "A Hu" will show a second peak at that time.

The local box office in Hong Kong has steadily exceeded 15 million in 200 days. The strong data has made other theaters envious, especially the owners of several theaters under Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest has not shown the slightest action in the past six months. The 60 theaters could only survive by showing the films of other small companies. After several discussions, some courageous ones with strong financial foundations tried to introduce "A Hu" to the theaters, which quickly boosted the popularity of the theaters. Seeing that Jiahe could still hold his breath, the owner of the movie theater ignored it, and immediately went to Wang Xiaohu to talk about introducing the film.

Wang Xiaohu personally received them in the meeting room of Xiehe Company. Many of these bosses are old friends of Wang Xiaohu. When "Fist of Fury" and "Raptors Crossing the River" were released, these bosses all made great efforts. But then the relationship between the two companies deteriorated, and they seldom contacted each other. Two years later, when the little dragon and tiger martial artist of Golden Harvest Company turned into a Hong Kong movie tycoon, these bosses felt extraordinarily emotional, and they seemed a little apprehensive in front of Wang Xiaohu. .

"Boss Liu, Boss Zhang, Boss Tan, and Boss Lei." Wang Xiaohu looked at the familiar old faces across the conference table and greeted them with a smile. Standing up and greeting Wang Xiaohu with a charming smile, she was extremely respectful to Wang Xiaohu.

"Bosses, don't be so restrained. I know everyone's reasons very well." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, but the bosses had to restrain themselves, because Wang Xiaohu's status is different now. He is a tycoon now, and we are here to ask for help. , I don't know if people will pick up the airs and settle old accounts.

Wang Xiaohu seemed to see through the thoughts of several people, and then said: "There are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests. Since everyone is in this circle, we in Xiehe have no intention of pushing the business outside. In fact, I personally It’s a pleasure to work with you all to make a fortune.”

"Huh~" The bosses breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and they were secretly happy. They were just about to enter the key link of the negotiation to discuss the box office dividend, when they heard Wang Xiaohu say: "This is the first time everyone cooperates. If our cooperation with Xiehe Company can bring huge profits to your theater, I hope that everyone will vote for Xiehe Company, what do you think?"

"Boss Wang, what are you talking about?" Boss Zhang asked blankly with his eyes wide open.

"Hey, actually, my meaning couldn't be simpler. I hope that everyone can join the theater company under Xiehe. Wouldn't it be good to make money together?" Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course, I won't force everyone to immediately Express your position, you can discuss with me after the film is finished and give me an answer, there is no righteousness in business, I still insist on convincing people with virtue.”

Wang Xiaohu finally swung his first strike at Golden Harvest Company.
