At the end of the year, in addition to the battle between ATV and TVB, the two major TV stations, "Meteor Garden" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", two extraordinary TV series dedicated to the majority of Hong Kong audiences, the Hong Kong film industry is also unambiguous, and the three major cinema chains are again in smoke when Christmas is approaching.

Golden Princess Cinemas took the lead and launched the supernatural romantic comedy "Yin and Yang Wrong" directed by newcomer director Lin Lingdong, written by Gao Zhisen, and starring popular singer Alan Tam, movie star Ye Tong, and newcomer Ni Shujun on December 15.
As soon as the film was released, it received a good reputation among the audience, and it was screened for a week and achieved an astonishing box office result of more than 1 million per day.
After three weeks of screening, it finally entered the top ten of the annual box office list with a total box office of 14.1 million, becoming the "knife and saw the big tree" praised by people in the industry, the best example of a small cost and a large box office, second only to the lower cost, the 15 million box office "Seven Days of Wrong Love" released in September this year.
Shaw Brothers Cinemas followed, and the next day on December 16, it launched the costume film "Day Tribulation" directed by the great director Chu Yuan and starring Er Dongsheng and Zhong Chuhong. It's a pity that this strange and imaginative film, the audience is not cold at all, they can't stand it, and they run to the opposite side to watch "Yin and Yang Wrong", and finally released for two weeks, ending dismally, only achieving a total box office score of 940,000.
Seeing that the films of rival Xinyicheng Company are riding the dust in the Christmas schedule, the film giant Golden Harvest Company is not far behind, and also launched its own killer feature a week later.
After Cheng Long returned from Hollywood, Golden Harvest helped him create an action blockbuster "Plan A" with a huge cast cast and three kung fu stars, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Biao, which attracted huge attention from the industry and fans from the beginning of filming.
During the test screening, it received rave reviews from fans and critics.
On December 22, it landed on the Golden Harvest Cinema Line, and staged a strong confrontation with the supernatural romantic comedy "Yin and Yang Wrong" released by the Golden Princess Cinema a week ago.
On the first day of release, the evening attendance rate reached an astonishing 90%, which suddenly lowered the attendance rate of the popular "Yin and Yang Error".
"Wow, Cheng Long's kung fu moves are getting more and more handsome, and he must be the one who may surpass Li Xiaolong in the future!"
"Surpassing Li Xiaolong? Is it so exaggerated, even if Ada is a fan of Cheng Long, you can't talk about it! How can Cheng Long compare with Li Xiaolong, I think the senior brother Hong Jinbao plays better than him and plays beautifully. ”
"Hey, don't fight, I see that the three brothers are all very beautiful. Cheng Long came back from Hollywood, and it was rare for their brothers to get together to dedicate a wonderful fight in a movie, hey, this ticket is worth it today!
"Ah Guo, have you watched "Yin and Yang Wrong"? Is it good? It won't make people sleepy, right? Tomorrow Christmas Eve, my girlfriend wants me to watch this movie with her. ”
"Don't worry, it's not bad. Although I think the kung fu movie "Plan A" is more exciting, that film also stars Aaron, and the beautiful female ghost in it is also very interesting, and the plot makes people laugh and cry, which is most suitable for boyfriends and girlfriends to watch together. ”
"Really? Then I'm going to have to take a good look at it. ”
Cheng Weiliang and a few of them walked out of the cinema, and they kept hearing the audience's feelings about Cheng Long's new film "Plan A" after watching the movie, which was mixed with the evaluation of another film "Yin and Yang Wrong".
"How is it? Which film do you think is better?" Cheng Weiliang wore a long windbreaker and big sunglasses, striding down the bustling street at night, asking them a few as he walked.
"Plan A, of course. The scene was big, and Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao played well again. You see how energetic the audience was watching the show just now, and how hot the attendance rate was! There were much more viewers than the previous "Yin and Yang Wrong"!" Xibiao replied without thinking about it.
"Yin and Yang Wrong"! Didn't you see that the attendance rate in the first week was also very hot? I think that the new art city is too powerful, the cost is so small, but the box office is so good. Wu Junru was quick to speak, and immediately retorted.
Lan Xie Ying glanced at Cheng Weiliang and said angrily: "If you have to choose, it's "Yin and Yang Wrong". Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao's funny fights like circus clowns, back and forth are the same thing, old-fashioned, boring!"
In the past, she still admired on-screen kung fu heroes like Cheng Long, but since she once met that group of kung fu stars in a restaurant and found that they liked to use foul language, she stared at her in a daze and whistled at her when she passed by, she stopped worshipping.
When she heard the big mouth, the corners of her mouth hissed, and her heart was cold! This blue chick has such an unforgiving mouth! Now the two most famous kung fu superstars in the Xiangjiang film industry are actually thought by her to fight like clowns?
The big-mouthed text wanted to answer that "Plan A" was better-looking, and seeing that the two girls said that "Yin and Yang Wrong" was good, he also echoed and said: "I also prefer to watch "Yin and Yang Wrong", the truth in it is so touching, "Plan A" is too boring to fight and kill. ”
Cheng Weiliang also glanced at Lan Xie Ying when he heard this, and then turned his head sideways and asked Zeng Huaqian, "What do you think, Hua Nu, are action movies more popular, or comedy movies more popular?"
"It's not so easy to compare, both films are excellent, each with its own style, and it's hard to distinguish between the top and the bottom. The scene of "Plan A" is a little better, the plot of "Yin and Yang Wrong" is very good, and the heroine's performance is touching. I guess "Plan A" will be higher at the box office in the end. Zeng Huaqian tilted her head and thought about it and said.
"If you have to choose, you will still choose "Yin and Yang Wrong" in the end, right?" Cheng Weiliang said with a smile.
Zeng Huaqian stuck out her little tongue and nodded embarrassedly.
It seems that the form of love + comedy is no less attractive than action movies. Cheng Weiliang sighed.
It was still early to watch the movie, so Cheng invited the three girls to his new apartment in Ho Man Tin, Kowloon, for a while, and visited his new home.
Since "Meteor Garden" became popular in Xiangjiang, his apartment in Mei Foo New Village has been completely exposed to the public, and there are media reporters and fans outside all day long, so he has to choose to move.
"Come in, Ah Ying, it's all at the door!" Zeng Huaqian dragged Lan Jieying's hand and called her to come in quickly.
After filming a sneaker advertisement this afternoon, I originally made an appointment with Wu Junru, who had not been announced today, to go shopping together, but suddenly received a call from Cheng Weiliang asking if she would like to go to the movies with them, Zeng Huaqian naturally happily agreed. Before going out, she remembered that her good sisters Lan Jieying and Cheng Weiliang still had a little knot because of the last "Oolong Love Letter" incident, so she took the initiative to call Lan Jieying and go to the appointment together, so that the two could have more contact and reconcile as before.
"Cheng Weiliang, your new house is so big, it's 1,000 square feet, right? Hehe, the decoration is really high-grade, I like this sofa!" Wu Junru said as soon as he entered the door, he ran to the soft sofa and shook it a few times.
After everyone sat down, Cheng Weiliang took out two scripts and showed them them, and asked, "These two scripts, you can help me see, which script do you like the story in?"
