300 [Qingxia, because of dreams] two-in-one
Three days later, it was the day of the release of "Rouge Buckle", and before that, Golden Harvest contacted more than 30 theaters in Hong Kong that formed a cinema alliance with them, and at the same time contributed some funds to promote the film to a certain extent.
On the other hand, Huo Yaowen was not idle, he not only let the company's two magazines, "Kyushu" and "Young People's Books" promote together, but also specially greeted Zhang Wanjun, who has a column in "Literary World", and asked her to help advertise.
Among them, Zhang Ailing was the most conscious, and on the day of the movie's release, she personally wrote an article and published it in the newspaper "Literature and Art":
"Everyone in the world knows that I love the Red Mansion the most, and I pity the twelve of them. I have read a lot of books over the years, and few of them can move me, but Huo Yaowen's "Rouge Buckle" made me see a trace of the Dream of Red Mansions, and the story couldn't help but make people cry and break their bowels......"
It was just a blink of an eye, and three days passed quietly.
The Kowloon Peninsula, located at the entrance of the Yau Ma Tei Cinema at the junction of Shanghai Street and Waterloo Road, is surrounded by a group of young men and women.
A young man in a long-sleeved shirt ran quickly to a girl, panting and saying, "Ah Zhen, I bought a ticket!"
"Look at you, you're running with sweat. Ah Zhen took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead for the man in front of him.
At such a close distance, he could almost smell the floral balm rubbed on the girl's body, which made the man a little embarrassed, but his heart was happy.
After wiping for more than ten seconds, the boy finally blushed, touched the back of his head and said, "It's okay Ah Zhen, it's just a little sweat." Let's hurry in and watch a movie. ”
Seeing her boyfriend's stupid appearance, Ah Zhen suddenly burst out laughing, nodded and said, "Okay, go in and see." ”
The two then walked into the theater.
"It looks like your movie is going to do pretty well at the box office. ”
Bruce Lee looked at the backs of the two people who left, and glanced at the people queuing up to buy tickets at the entrance of the theater, there were about dozens of them.
Huo Yaowen covered his mouth and yawned, and said: "Looking at the current situation, it should be pretty good, but I don't know what will happen to Taiwan." ”
Hong Kong's box office, Huo Yaowen is not too worried, after all, it is his base camp, there are many book fans, and with Zhang Wanjun and Zhang Ailing and others helping to promote in newspapers and magazines, the box office of "Rouge Buckle" will not be too bad.
On the other hand, the Taiwan side is unknown.
"What's the matter, didn't you rest well?" Bruce Lee glanced at Huo Yaowen, who seemed to be sleep-deprived.
Huo Yaowen nodded: "One thing, I rushed to the script overnight last night, and finally wrote the script, thinking that I would take more rest today, I was called out by you." ”
"The script is written?!" Bruce Lee's face was full of consternation, it has only been three or four days, and the script has already been written?
"Well, I'm done, and I haven't revised it yet, but I think it shouldn't be a problem. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry back!"
"No, I brought it, it's in the car. ”
Huo Yaowen beckoned Bruce Lee back to the parking lot, and when he got in the car, he threw the script of "Big Brother Tangshan" written last night to him.
I don't know if it's because of the inertia of history, which fits Bruce Lee, and after reading the script in a hurry, he hurriedly asked Huo Yaowen to send him to Golden Harvest Film Company.
After sending Bruce Lee to Golden Harvest, before he could say hello, he took the script and opened the car door and ran out, and Huo Yaowen was dumbfounded.
Huo Yaowen wanted to follow up and take a look, but after thinking about it, forget it, since Bruce Lee likes this script, he shouldn't need to change it.
Sure enough, in the evening, Bruce Lee called Huo Yaowen, saying that he was very satisfied with the script, and also expressed his apologies for the hurried morning.
For the next period of time, Bruce Lee was busy preparing the crew and interviewing suitable actors. In less than half a month, he went straight to Thailand with 300,000 Hong Kong dollars approved by Renma and Zou Wenhuai.
That's really efficient!

Ximending Cinema, Taiwan.
"Hurry up because of the dream!"
Zhang Liren anxiously urged Hu Yinmeng, who was walking slowly not far away.
Qingxia on the side said: "Ah Ren is not in a hurry, the movie will start in a few minutes." ”
Zhang Liren said: "But we still have to find a seat!"
More than ten seconds later, the slow Hu Yinmeng finally walked over, carrying three bottles of glass soda he had just bought.
"Alright, let's go inside. Zhang Liren took the soda in Hu Yinmeng's hand and quickly pushed the two towards the theater.
Gave the ticket inspector a movie ticket, left the ticket stub, and the three of them looked for a while to find a seat, and just a few seconds after they sat down, the lights in the screening room dimmed suddenly, and a picture appeared on the big screen in front of them.
"Whew, it's finally time to arrive!"
Zhang Liren spat out turbidity, picked up the soda in his hand, and distributed it to Qingxia and Hu Yinmeng, just when he was about to open the lid and drink, he remembered that there was no bottle opener, and hurriedly whispered to Hu Yinmeng, who was sitting next to Qingxia: "Because of the dream, have you taken the bottle opener?"
"Huh?" Hu Yinmeng was confused for a few seconds, and said embarrassedly: "I forgot, why don't I go out and buy one now?"
"Forget it, it's too much trouble. Zhang Liren shook his head, put the mouth of the bottle directly into his mouth, and bit it with his teeth, and the lid was loosened and fell.
Grunt, took a big sip, Zhang Liren's eyes began to stare at the screen, and the beginning was still playing at the moment, listening to the opening song felt very good.
"Well, Ah Ren, you can also help me open it. Qingxia said with a grin.
"Trouble, you and the people who dreamed of it. ”
Zhang Liren took Qingxia's glass bottle, bit down the cap, and helped Hu Yinmeng open the cap by the way.
The three of them began to watch the movie beautifully.
"Who is this actor? ”
"Zheng Shaoqiu. ”
"Do you know you because of your dreams?"
"There was an introduction in the opening credits. ”
“……”
"This woman dressed as a man should be Ruhua! It turned out to be the seventh princess Chen Baozhu! So beautiful, I didn't expect her to look so good in men's clothes. ”
As the plot unfolded one by one, there was no movement in the screening hall where they were still communicating with each other, and the audience was staring at each other, staring at the big screen, unwilling to miss even a single frame.
When Huang Zhan's "Rouge Buckle" song sounded slowly in the theater, with the end of the movie, like a flower seeing the elderly twelve young people, the picture with tears in the corners of their eyes, many emotional girls cried in low voices.
Qingxia was the most melancholy, when she read the book before, she cried for a while after reading it, but when she saw the movie at this time, she felt even more deeply, and sobbed silently.
Zhang Liren also felt uncomfortable, she always thought that the twelve young people were a kind person when she was reading the book, but she didn't expect the movie to be filmed, but she could also feel that the twelve young people who lived secretly still had a very deep affection for Ruhua.
……
The hour-and-a-half-long film is over.
The audience in the screening hall walked out one after another, and the second group of audience waiting outside was surprised to find that almost all the people who came out, both men and women, had red eyes, as if they had just cried.
I suddenly looked forward to this movie even more!
When the three girls came out of the cinema, their emotions were not very high.
Hu Yinmeng is a little better, although she is sometimes quite sentimental, but she has always been calm, and she can still control her mentality and expression.
And Qingxia and Zhang Liren were miserable, they were crying in the cinema just now, and after they came out at this time, not only their eyes were red, but even their noses were red.
Behind the three women, a pair of middle-aged men walked out slowly.
"Director Li, are we really going to Hong Kong?"
Wen Yingguang, the former production manager of Guolian Film Company, asked sullenly.
Li Hanxiang looked at his friends around him, and couldn't help sighing: "If you don't go, you can't go, after the collapse of the League of Nations, I also thought about it for a long time, and concluded that it is nothing more than too many idle departments, and the overall bloat is difficult to manage." ”
Li Hanxiang made films in Hong Kong in his early years, and later moved to Taiwan, where he stayed for seven or eight years, but he never thought that he would return to Hong Kong.
And he has already thought about it, with the money from the sale of the League of Nations, he will reopen the League of Nations in Hong Kong!
Wen Yingguang knew that the collapse of the League of Nations was not because he couldn't make good films and couldn't make money, but because the company as a whole was bloated and over-indebted, and it wasn't necessarily a good thing to be able to get out of it now, but he went to Hong Kong, and literary films didn't seem to be very popular, so he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Then Director Li, you go to Hong Kong to make films, do you have any good ideas?"
Li Hanxiang glanced at him and said with a smile: "How did you feel about that "Rouge Buckle" just now?"
"Li Xing's directing skills are still good, and I feel that the box office should not be less. As a production manager, Wen Yingguang can naturally see how good the movie is, and many audiences in the theater have just cried, which is enough to show that the plot is touching and attractive enough.
Li Hanxiang's eyes flashed and said: "No, Li Xing, I have known him for many years, and the filming is average, the main reason why this movie can be touching is because of the script!"
"Script, Mr. Huo?!" When Wen Yingguang went to Hong Kong with Li Hanxiang to make a film the year before last, he also met Huo Yaowen, and his impression of him has always been a very handsome and elegant literati.
At that time, Wen Yingguang was thinking that if Huo Yaowen came to make a movie, he would definitely be able to become a popular student in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and even the whole of Southeast Asia, but unfortunately his status was too high!
"Well, Mr. Huo and I are also old acquaintances, but it's a pity that this movie was not handed over to me to shoot, otherwise it would definitely be better!"
Li Hanxiang felt a pity.
He didn't say anything big, Li Xing's filming is really good, but Li Hanxiang's love film is unique and has a unique style, and the 1960 Shaw Brothers produced "A Chinese Ghost Story" was filmed by him himself!
For this kind of ghost love, it can be said that I have already experienced it.
"It's just..."Wen Yingguang thought for a few seconds and hesitated: "Mr. Huo doesn't seem to have any other works except for "Rouge Buckle" recently, do you want to shoot "Sweet Honey" Director Li?"
"Forget about sweetness, what I fancy is "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" written by Mr. Huo's talented female cousin!"
Li Hanxiang knew that Huo Yaowen would not hand over "Sweet Honey" to him for filming, so he set his sights on Zhang Wanjun's "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store".
This film also sold very well in Taiwan, and many readers even deliberately named it "Love Through Time and Space".
Generally, most of the movies adapted from romance have a readership base, and the most representative of them should be Qiong Yao, five of the top ten box office movies in Taiwan are adapted by her.
The same is true of Zhang Wanjun's "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", there are readers and markets, and men and women from different time and space can communicate by letter and have feelings for each other by chance.
Make it into a movie and it will definitely attract a lot of people!
Wen Yingguang hasn't read this book, but the name Zhang Wanjun is still a little familiar, since Li Hanxiang said that it is feasible, it is naturally good. Thinking of something else, he asked curiously: "Then Zhen Zhen and the others are also going to Hong Kong with you?"
The former Guolian Wufeng, with the collapse of the Guolian Film Company, it stands to reason that the contracts of these people have ended, but the five of them are thinking of Li Hanxiang's old love, but they are not in a hurry to find a home.
"Forget it! I've already terminated their contract before, so there's no need to let them go to Hong Kong all over again. ”
Li Hanxiang thought about it, and finally shook his head, Zhen Zhen and the others are popular with him, but now that the company has closed down, the future of going to Hong Kong to reopen the film company is bleak, and it is not good for Zhen Zhen and Jiang Qing to leave their base camp in Taiwan and follow them to Hong Kong.
Wen Yingguang saw that Li Hanxiang said this, so he didn't mention it much.
The two chatted and walked at the same time.
"Oops!"
Hu Yinmeng, who was walking slowly, was suddenly hit from behind, and the whole person almost fell forward, but fortunately, Qingxia, who was quick-eyed on the side, reached out and pulled it.
Li Hanxiang noticed that he seemed to have met someone, and hurriedly looked back at it, it turned out that he accidentally bumped into a girl in front of him, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry for this little girl, I didn't pay attention to the road just now, didn't I hit it?"
Zhang Liren frowned, looked back, and saw that it was two uncles, he was a little scared at first, but he noticed that there were many people around him, and he also dared to scold: "How can you do it! You can still walk without paying attention!"
"I'm sorry. Li Hanxiang looked at the little girl's aggressive appearance, and he also knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't entangle with her much, and took a step forward to look at the girl who was hit by himself and said, "Little girl, are you okay?"
"No, it's fine. Hu Yinmeng raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, in his forties, wearing a pair of glasses, looking sven, he didn't think he had hit himself on purpose.
Hiss!
Seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Li Hanxiang couldn't help but be stunned, she looked very beautiful, and took a look at the side, heh, these two girls are good!
"Girl, are you really not hurt?"
Hu Yinmeng noticed that something was wrong with the man's gaze in front of him, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, thank you, sir, I'm fine, let's go." ”
"There's no hurry. Li Hanxiang grinned, and Wen Yingguang on the side also followed, seeing the faces of the two girls clearly, and immediately guessed Li Hanxiang's thoughts, which were nothing more than the same as digging Zhen Zhen and others many years ago.
Qingxia and Hu Yinmeng looked at the appearance of these two people, a little frightened, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Zhang Liren hurriedly ran to the second daughter and asked, "You... What do you want to do, this is on the street, be careful I shout for help, let the police arrest you!"
"Hehe, little girl, I have no ill intentions. ”
Li Hanxiang looked at the cautious appearance of the three girls, and couldn't help touching his face, is there such a bad guy? But he continued: "That's the case, I'm a director, seeing that these two girls are very beautiful, they fit the roles of our next movie, I don't know if you have any ideas about wanting to be actors?"
