Chapter 187: Much Acclaimed (Fourth Update)
For the next month, Hong Kong's newspapers and magazines were filled with praise for "Best Partner". Especially several newspapers and periodicals owned by Wu Ming, in order to please the boss, they even praised this film to the sky.
"Best Buddies is clearly inspired by the world-famous 007 series, and the other elements in the film are also very nod to the 007 series. After all, DreamWorks, the production company of this film, and United Pictures, the Hollywood giant that holds "007", are brother companies.
However, director Xu Ke did not completely imitate "007", but integrated the local characteristics of our Xiangjiang into it. KingKong presented by Xu Guanjie is still very down-to-earth, he is clever and kind, a little cynical but never unjust, loves beautiful women, and also likes girls, and is a high-level thief who is both cool and stupid. - Cheng Pao
"Wu Yaohan's comical image and exaggerated performance are hilarious, and the radiant Zhang Aijia is also very interesting to play the role of a man's wife, especially her good acting skills, which vividly present the artificial transition between the character's true colors and the feigned gentleness without leaving a trace. In my opinion, the crown of the highlight is the habitual thief "KingKong" played by Xu Guanjie, the king of the highest status in the music world. Xu Guanjie's existing influence, coupled with his energetic and dashing image at that time, was combined into such an attractive role as "habitual thief", who is the most interesting thing?" - "Sing Tao Daily"
"Best Partner" is dressed in a Hollywood-style shell, but mixed with local comedy elements of Hong Kong, although nervous, but expensive in down-to-earth, hip-hop, slapstick, confused, God bless the way to solve the case, can be regarded as the culmination of Hong Kong film creation and entertainment.
Xu Guanjie and Wu Yaohan, one is a thief, the other is a policeman, one is handsome and chic, both civil and military, and the other speaks with a Shandong accent and is a little stupid, which happens to be the sharp contrast between the two that produces a humorous effect. Zhang Aijia also unexpectedly played a man's wife, who was masculine in speech and demeanor, but was won by Detective Wu Yaohan, which is ridiculous. - The New Newspaper
"Best Partner" was applauded and applauded, and in the midst of praise, the box office continued to rise. A month later, the total box office came out, with a total of HK$26.7 million, which was unprecedented in the history of Hong Kong films, breaking the box office record set by "Modern Bodyguard" at the beginning of the year.
"Shockingly, DreamWorks' debut film 'Best Partner' grossed a huge HK$26 million at the box office, breaking box office records and setting new history, will this be another harbinger of the rise of another film giant?"
"In the past, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers in the Hong Kong film industry were evenly matched. Now Golden Harvest is still bright, but Shaw Brothers is lonely. At this time, DreamWorks rose from the ground and was bound to take over the position of Shaw Brothers and become another giant in the Hong Kong film industry. ”
"From the success of Best Partner, I saw that one shining star in the film industry is rising, and that is DreamWorks. ”
Seeing the words of praise in the newspaper, the more Shao Yifu looked at it, the more it was an eyesore. In the past month, with the preliminaries of the "Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest", the ratings of Star TV have continued to rise, breaking the status quo of the two sides, and now in the time period from 9:30 to 11:30 in the evening, the ratings of both sides have become 6:4.
Originally, Shao Yifu hated Wu Ming for throwing money desperately, which made Star TV suppress wireless. Now DreamWorks, another company owned by Wu Ming, has come to the film industry to compete with his Shaw Brothers. And the newspaper revealed between the lines that DreamWorks would replace Shaw Brothers, which made it impossible for Shaw Yifu to endure it.
"Whoa!"
Shao Yifu was so angry that he threw the newspaper out and scattered it all over the place.
"Damn the little devil!" Shaw slammed the table.
"Okay, sixth brother, don't be angry, beware of being angry. Fang Yihua on the side comforted softly.
In the past, it was Shao Yifu who comforted Fang Yihua, but Fang Yihua was so angry that he already had a little immunity, so now it was Fang Yihua who persuaded Shao Yifu.
"I didn't expect that little ghost to brag that "Best Partner" really broke through the box office of 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Fang Yihua sighed.
Shao Yifu shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "What you are not sure of at all, that little ghost will not do." Since he dares to let his newspapers and magazines say that, it means that he is very confident in "Best Partner". I had a hunch before the movie was released. ”
"This little imp is getting harder and harder to deal with. Fang Yihua frowned.
"Indeed," Shao Yifu nodded and smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect him to get involved with Zou Wenhuai of Jiahe." ”
This is also what many people in Xiangjiang don't understand now, after all, after the rise of DreamWorks, it is likely to impact the hegemony of Golden Harvest, which is obvious. However, Golden Harvest ignored the threat and cooperated with DreamWorks to let "Best Partner" be screened in Golden Harvest Cinemas, which is really unexpected.
What's more, a few days ago, there was also news that DreamWorks and Golden Harvest had officially formed an alliance.
"These two people are now hooking up and committing adultery, they have both influence and financial resources, it's really difficult to deal with!" Fang Yihua said with a sad face.
Fang Yihua is in charge of TVB, but Shaw Brothers is also closely connected with her, and she really doesn't want to see Shaw Brothers decay even more under the attack of DreamWorks and Golden Harvest.
Shao Yifu sneered: "I don't know that Zou Wenhuai is a street boy, he must have taken a fancy to the little ghost's resources in Hollywood and wants to enter Hollywood again, so he will form an alliance with the little ghost." ”
As Zou Wenhuai's rival for so many years, Shao Yifu really knows him very well. Golden Harvest's Hollywood journey came to an abrupt end because of Bruce Lee's sudden loss. Now that he has such a good opportunity, how could Zou Wenhuai let it float in front of him.
Shao Yifu sneered again: "But Hollywood is not so easy to enter, although the little ghost has one of the eight giants of Hollywood, United Pictures, but it is impossible to easily help Golden Harvest succeed." I guess Golden Harvest will still fail in the end. Then it's time for DreamWorks and Golden Harvest to part ways. Zou Wenhuai is just raising tigers now!"
Shao Yifu didn't know that Wu Ming had a movie theater chain in the United States, and the scale of the theater chain continued to expand. So when the connection between Golden Harvest and DreamWorks became closer and closer, and he successfully entered Hollywood with the help of Wu Ming, Shao Yifu was stunned.
However, although Shao Yifu expected Wu Ming and Zou Wenhuai to turn against each other, he was still very optimistic about his own Shaw Brothers movies. The rapid development of the film industry really dazzled Shaw. Therefore, Shaw Yifu decided to speed up the pace of Shaw Brothers' production reduction, and then turned his main energy to the development of the "wireless" television business.
