SARS in the first half of 03, and the film market slowly recovered in the second half of the year.

Despite the setbacks, the overall momentum is still optimistic, because the number of films has risen. The box office rankings in the 90s were good if they could release ten a year, almost all of which were supported by imported films and Xu Fei.

Now it can be ranked in the top 50, and the box office statistics are relatively clear, with tens of millions, one or two million, and millions of them......

currently ranked first, "Harry Potter: The Lost Chamber of Secrets", 59 million. "The Matrix 2 and 3" ranked second and third, and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" ranked fourth.

are all famous Hollywood blockbusters, "Finding Nemo", "Terminator 3", "Lord of the Rings 2", "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The highest Hong Kong film is "Flying Dragon Rebirth", 28 million, ranking tenth. followed by "The Mouse Falls in Love with the Cat", which ranked twelfth.

This period saw more screens than ever before, and the box office grew slightly. But "Infernal Affairs 2", which has a good reputation, was released with a box office of only 10 million.

This also reflects the trend, Hong Kong films are becoming more and more unsellable.

In the blink of an eye, it's December, the New Year's stall.

In the past, it was all one film, occasionally two, and this year three films competed. The heat has been hyped up in advance, and the bigwigs will release "Infernal Affairs 3" first.

gave a ten-day prime schedule, the results were decent, and the box office received 44 million in advance.

Then there is "Mobile Phone", which also received 63 million at the box office in ten days - 53 million in history.

Finally, there is "Kung Fu".

............

"Stephen Chow has always been a very thoughtful actor, and he is good at embodying these ideas in films. "Shaolin Football" is still a little immature, and "Kung Fu" I think is very mature.

It will definitely be a milestone work for him. ”

At the press conference before the premiere, Xu Fei personally sat down. Since his appearance at the awards ceremony, he is no longer as low-key as before, and he attends when he deserves.

slipped the table, he and Zhou Xingxing were in the center, and the leading actors sat on the left and right.

The next person is Miss Huang, who plays a mute girl in the play. 20 years old, pure and lovely, looking at Xu's father with a frightening look.

Even if she is not the peak of her debut, she can be regarded as a leap from the start, but after more than ten years, she can only be on the hot search with "Haiwa".

Passers-by are corrupted a little bit, especially when they find such a husband, ouch, a match made in heaven.

mentioned that the knife sect was famous, and it was this husband who was holding the surveillance video at the time, he just didn't let it out, and said: "Yin Xiaotian, you have been surrounded by the people, I advise you to let go of your luck and apologize to Xiaoxiao and the crew!"

It's amazing to be so cheap.

Speaking of Zhou Xingxing, who is 41 years old, wears a hat and presses his half-length hair, and communicates with reporters in difficult Mandarin.

"Box office? Didn't Mr. Xu talk about it, Bao, Bao one fights for two. ”

"I don't dare to think more than "Heroes". ”

"But we have faith, I have faith in this film, and I have faith in Mr. Xu. ”

The reporter asked for a while, and then turned to Mr. Xu.

"You said that Mr. Stephen Chow is a very good director, will he continue to cooperate in the future?"

"He belongs to the talent + accumulation type, with a rare imagination and creativity, if the script is good, of course I want to continue to work together. ”

"Will you sign a contract with the company like Zhang Yi and Feng Xiaogang?"

"It depends on the wishes of both parties, it doesn't matter. ”

Zhou Xingxing's directing level is very strong, but he is getting older and older. Some people are old and can still lead the trend, and some people can't keep up with the times.

"Kung Fu" is his pinnacle, and "Yangtze River No. 7" is actually not bad, but it is a little bland.

The stalk of "Journey to the West" is old, but the imagination is still first-class, but it is a pity that it is not good to receive it.

"Mermaid" is really embarrassing, relying on the audience's feelings to eat, and sold more than 3 billion.

At the end of the press conference, Zhou Xingxing took the initiative to come over and ask about "Earth Cannon".

He is not good at talking and stumbles: "Mr. Xu's film has caused a sensation in the Chinese entertainment industry, everyone is looking here, if there is a chance, uh......"

"OK, I'm looking for your help if I need it. ”

Xu Fei saw that he was struggling to speak, and he was straightforward. Zhou Xingxing nodded, just understand the meaning.

In the end, Miss Huang also wanted to come over, but was stopped by Xiao Mo and escorted the boss away.

............

That night, it premiered at 0:00.

The China Film Times International Cinema is crowded with young people, all in pairs. It's approaching Christmas again, and there are some celebratory activities, which are very lively.

A girl pulled her boyfriend and ran into the bookstore with a familiar approach.

"Is the Kung Fu puzzle here?"

"Here it is, here. ”

The clerk magically didn't change it, and explained to the other party according to the process: "After putting together five sets of puzzles and synthesizing a projector pattern, you can get the highest-level VIP card and watch the movie for free for life." ”

"Wow, that's good. ”

The boyfriend was very curious: "So you finished fighting three?"

"Well, I'll show you another day. ”

The girl bought the puzzle and asked, "There really won't be a film next year, do you want to postpone it?"

"Yes. ”

"It's a pity, I'll have to wait a year. ”

"Wait, wait, I'll give it to you then!"

Boyfriend pats his chest.

"Well, good luck. ”

The clerk said inexplicably.

At 11:50, the audience entered, and more than 400 seats were seated, and the row in front was empty.

"No Thieves in the World", "October Siege" and "Heroes" all rely on a pile of stars and cramming publicity, and "Kung Fu" is different. The real superstar is only Zhou Xingxing, but that's enough.

The audience does have a special affection for him. The reputation declined, the work was disappointed, and it will take more than ten years to wait.

............

"Who else ?!!!"

"Is there still a royal law, is there still a law?"

"Hahaha!"

Feng pants bared a mouthful of rotten teeth, and appeared at the beginning brightly, instantly pushing up the highlights.

And then hung up.

The Axe Gang appeared, the pig cage was in the walled city, the chartered public and the tenant, and all kinds of households.

"Kung Fu" is full of the cultural characteristics of old Hong Kong films, and the name like chartering the public and renting the wife is the Cantonese name. But mainland audiences did not feel unwell, thanks to the nationwide dissemination of pirated Hong Kong films.

The most prominent advantage of "Kung Fu" is the rhythm.

The content is extremely rich, one small turning point after another, and you won't feel bored. And these small turning points are coherent, and it is natural to enter the big turning point.

"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet!"

Zhou Xingxing threw the cannon and smashed it on Lin Xue's hat, and the Axe Gang came. The peaceful and beautiful life in the walled city before was broken in an instant.

This is the starting point of the whole plot.

Following the twelve-way Tan leg, the Hongjia iron fist, and the Wulang gossip stick appeared, Dong Zhihua, who played the stick, did not attract the attention of young people.

But if a parent is present, he may recognize the star of the 80s.

He made a movie "Shanghai 1937", the knife Yang Fan.

"Yang Fan, everyone knows that you have nine knives!"

Of course, here, there is only a bald uncle in a white coat left.

The Axe Gang can't be defeated, so naturally they can't find someone powerful to kill, but they can't beat it, so they have to find something even more powerful - the ultimate killer king, the Fire Cloud Evil God!

The Condor Heroes were seriously injured and passed on their skills to Zhou Xingxing, a martial arts wizard with clear bones.

Zhou Xingxing was beaten away by the toad, had an epiphany in the clouds, and performed a palm trick that fell from the sky......

The movie is smooth, in one go, with baggage and emotion, mixed with the stories of the hero and heroine.

And there is an easter egg buried at the end:

The hero and heroine turn into children and go to the candy store hand in hand. Sauce explosion is teasing the girl at the door, the chartered public and chartered wife are walking, the fire cloud evil god is directing the traffic, and there are coolies, buck teeth, and four-eyed boys......

You can understand it as a fantasy of a little boy, and you can understand it as the transformation of the protagonist, to achieve "the heart is born of all kinds of laws", and it is also okay to see the world become beautiful.

Sublimated height.

Looks satisfied.
