June 11, 1981 was the day when "Falcon" was officially released in Hong Kong. is different from the situation when "The Hoe" was released, as early as two months before the release of "Falcon", the Hong Kong film industry already knew that this was a super giant with an investment of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and its excitement and watchability were far above "The Hoe".

When "The Rape" was released, Southern Pictures organized 18 theaters to screen it, and this time, Yindu organized 23 theaters. Originally, Binbin Film Company was very optimistic about "Falcon" and was ready to screen it in its own theaters. However, they were soon threatened by the Liberty Federation, saying that if they showed "The Falcon", then the Liberty Society's films would not be shown in their theaters. In desperation, Binbin Film Company had no choice but to abandon the plan to screen "Falcon".

At ten o'clock in the morning of this day, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng walked into the Nanhua Theater. Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng are boyfriend and girlfriend, at the beginning of this year, Xu Ke received an invitation from Xinyicheng and asked him to shoot in Xinyicheng, so Xu Ke called Shi Nansheng and joined Xinyicheng together. Recently, they have just completed the post-production of their first film "Ghost Horse Smart Multi Stars" in New Art City, and the movie will be officially released next month.

Xu Ke watched Xu Wangqiu's "Hoe Rape" two years ago, and was shocked at the time, and Shi Nansheng felt the same way. Although Taiwan bend and pro-Taiwan media have reprinted a large number of bad reviews of "Falcon" by European and American media, and some media say that the real director of "Hoe Rape" is not Xu Wangqiu, but Xie Fei, Xu Wangqiu's real level is not good at all. However, this kind of nonsense can't deceive professionals like Xu Ke, who saw the trailer of "Falcon" on TV, and the shooting technique and style are in the same vein as "Hoe Rape", and the standard is extremely high. They happened to be fine today, so they came over to take a look.

Xu Ke raised his eyes and looked around, and the screening hall was not full, not about seventy percent. He turned to Shi Nansheng and said: "It's work time, and there is such a high attendance rate, it seems that everyone is looking forward to "Falcon". ”

Shi Nansheng raised his eyes and looked at the audience around him, mainly young people who looked like old people and college students, and nodded slightly: "Yes, there is this attendance rate during the day, and I am afraid that the venue will be full at night." If "Falcon" can be at the level of "Hoe Rape", the box office may exceed 10 million. ”

Xu Ke is a Chinese-Vietnamese, knows the misery of Vietnamese Chinese after the exclusion of Chinese in Vietnam, and absolutely supports the People's Liberation Army in fighting the Vietnamese, and he has a strong sense of substitution when watching this movie. In the 23 cinemas, there are many Chinese who fled to Xiangjiang because of Vietnam's anti-Chinese exclusion, and like Xu Ke, they can't hold back their sadness and can't help but burst into tears when they see the Vietnamese shooting and killing Vietnamese Chinese. When Yan Shuangying and the others raided the Vietnamese army and killed the Vietnamese one by one, they couldn't help but applaud.

Although other viewers do not empathize with Xu Ke and others, they still know about the Vietnamese anti-Chinese and the tragic experience of Vietnamese Chinese, and they all agree with the People's Liberation Army cleaning up the Vietnamese. Now seeing Yan Shuangying and the others beating the Vietnamese army to the point of losing their armor, they all have a feeling of bad breath and an indescribable comfort.

The 120-minute movie ended quickly, and Xu Ke was stunned as he watched the subtitles scrolling on the screen. When he watched the release of "Hoe Rape", he already knew how powerful Xu Wangqiu was, but at that time he thought that if I was given a chance, I could also make such a film. But now after watching "Falcon", he feels that even if he is asked to shoot such a film, he will not be able to make it. For example, the shot that simulated the flight of the shell, such as the long shot of the PLA charging, he didn't know how Xu Wangqiu took it. Facing "Falcon" and facing Xu Wangqiu, he really has a feeling of looking up at the mountains.

The lights in the screening room turned on, and Shi Nansheng looked at Xu Ke with excitement on his face and asked, "What do you think?"

Xu Ke let out a long sigh of relief and nodded: "Very powerful, this is the most wonderful war movie I have ever seen." Xu Wangqiu's level in "Falcon" has not decreased, but has improved, this guy is so powerful, he is simply a monster. ”

Shi Nansheng said excitedly: "Yes, this person is really amazing. If only he could join us in the new art city. If he can join us in Xinyicheng, with the addition of a few of you, we will definitely be able to surpass Golden Harvest and become a powerful film company in Xiangjiang. ”

Xu Ke smiled and didn't speak, he felt that Xu Wangqiu might be difficult to join Xinyicheng, Xu Wangqiu was very good at war films, and there were no conditions for making war movies in Xiangjiang, so it might be difficult to give full play to his advantages in Xiangjiang.

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng left their seats and walked out along the flow of people. At the same time, the audience around them was excitedly discussing the plot of "Falcon", and enthusiastically poured out their inner excitement. Some people are excited about the People's Liberation Army's crushing of the Vietnamese, some people are excited about the bravery and sacrifice of the Yan Shuangying and the Falcon Squad, and some people are discussing the details of the movie.

At this moment, a boy in front of Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng praised "Falcon" and pointed the finger at Xiangjiang Movie: "Look at "Falcon", and then look at our Xiangjiang movie, I feel ashamed. What kind of movies are we making in Xiangjiang? It's not a martial arts movie, it's a vulgar comedy, and it's a blind shot when it comes to shootouts, and the bullets in the guns are completely infinite, and they never need to change the magazine, and the bullets won't run out. It's not a matter of technology, it's a matter of attitude. ”

"We directors in Xiangjiang use movies as a tool to make money, while mainland directors use movies as works of art, so of course the works that come out are different. ”

"In recent years, we have seen a lot of new directors come out in Xiangjiang, and we have also engaged in a new wave of Xiangjiang, but the films of these directors are more ugly than the other, such as the one called Xu What, the "Hell No Door", what "The First Type of Danger", what are the few things called, it's just a few blind shots. At his level, there are still a bunch of people holding stinky feet, and I don't think he deserves to lift Xu Wangqiu's shoes. ”

"No Gate to Hell" and "Danger of the First Type" are Xu Ke's works, and critics have okay reviews of these two films, but the audience doesn't buy it at all, and both movies are box office fiascos. Now hearing the audience say this, Xu Ke has a strong sense of frustration in his heart, he studied film in the United States, and knows that the structure of the play of "Falcon" is the standard Hollywood commercial film structure, if he is asked to write such a story, he can also write it. It's just that he was asked to make such a movie, but he couldn't make it, Xu Wangqiu's control of the rhythm, the operation of light and shadow, and the scheduling of actors have all reached the world-class level, and there are only a handful of directors who can shoot war films to this level in the United States. In fact, these are not terrible, what is really terrible is that Xu Wangqiu is still improving.

Shi Nansheng saw that Xu Ke's face turned dark, and hurriedly comforted: "There is no need to take other people's words to heart. ”

Xu Ke came back to his senses, and when he saw Shi Nansheng's eyes flashing with concern, his heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be relaxed: "Xu Wangqiu is really too strong, and he is only nineteen years old, in the face of such a person, you will feel that you are very weak." ”

Shi Nansheng felt the depression in Xu Ke's Chinese, stared into Xu Ke's eyes, and said seriously: "Xu Wangqiu is a genius, yes, but your talent is not lost to him at all, your imagination and creativity are incomparable, but there is no good platform, and there is not enough funds for you to show your true talent." ”

Xu Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought to himself, my audio-visual language and directing skills are indeed inferior to Xu Wangqiu, but I also have my own advantages, if I want to compare imagination and imagination, I am confident that I will not lose to Xu Wangqiu. He looked deeply at Shi Nansheng's black eyes, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to be the fog of the early morning slowly dissipated, and said with a smile: "The parents who gave birth to me, and Nansheng who knows me." ”

"The Falcon" is an exciting and exhilarating movie. Like mainland audiences, after watching "The Falcon", Hong Kong audiences could not contain their excitement in the mainland and recommended the film to their friends and acquaintances.

""Falcon" is simply too good, better than "Hoe Rape", better than "007". 007 is very mouthful, but Yan Shuangying is even more mouthful. Let's make a bet. You shoot at me, and if there is a bullet in the gun, I will die. If the gun doesn't go off, you lose me a dollar. But I want to remind you that I have a habit of killing anyone who shoots at me, even if she doesn't have a bullet in her gun. It's a blast!"

"This film is really good-looking, it seems that so many movies are so cool to watch for the first time. The Falcon squad was really awesome and beat the Vietnamese to the point of peeing. In the past few years, the Vietnamese have bullied our compatriots so badly that many people have died at sea. After watching this movie, I finally breathed a bad breath. ”

"You must watch "Falcon", I will definitely regret not watching it. After watching "Falcon", you will find that those Hollywood war movies do not match the shoes of "Falcon". ”

In the evening, office workers who have been busy all day flock to the theaters, and the 23 theaters where "Falcon" is screened are lined up, which can be described as full. Due to the large number of spectators, many people could not buy tickets and asked for more midnight performances.

Shuangnan Cinema mainly screens mainland movies, and mainland movies are not particularly popular in Xiangjiang, and it is rare to fill the golden screenings at night, let alone open midnight screenings. However, now that some audiences have taken the initiative to ask for more midnight performances, the theater manager will naturally not miss this opportunity to make money, so all 23 theaters have opened more midnight performances.

The next morning, with the exception of the "Xiangjiang Times," which was still publishing articles criticizing Xu Wangqiu and "The Falcon," all the other media were dumbfounded and pretended to be blind; the pro-mainland media and the neutral media reported on the grand opening of "The Falcon" on the first day of its release at great length, and published a series of film reviews, which were almost overwhelmingly praised.

On this day, the media in Hong Kong paid close attention to the box office of "Falcon" on the first day, with the pro-mainland media hoping that "Falcon" would do well at the box office; the pro-Taiwan media hoping that "Falcon" would fail miserably at the box office, while the neutral media hoped that "Falcon" would either be a box office hit or a box office fiasco, and that it would be good to make a big news anyway.

The current box office statistics of Xiangjiang are the same as those in the mainland, and they are not networked, so they can only be counted manually. Xu Dunluo knew that the box office on the first day was a good publicity point, and personally ordered the company's financial statistics to count the box office. The company's financial staff counted from 8 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock, and the box office of "Falcon" on the first day finally came out.

In less than half an hour, almost the entire Xiangjiang media knew that the box office of "Falcon" was 1.15 million on the first day. This score is nearly double that of "Hoe Rape", which is definitely a staggering achievement.

After getting this data, the neutral media lamented that Xu Wangqiu was crazy, but it was really powerful; the pro-mainland media were cheering, with such amazing results on the first day, it was no problem for "Falcon" to exceed 10 million at the box office in Xiangjiang; and the pro-Taiwan media were also cheering, with this premiere result was much worse than the 1.52 million on the first day of "Modern Bodyguard", it was impossible to surpass "Modern Bodyguard", and they could slap Xu Wangqiu in the face.
