The box office trend in August 1984 is destined to be written into the history of the Hong Kong film industry, because the box office competition of the summer season is better than that of the Chinese New Year file.

In August, with "The True Color of Heroes" in the front, "Food Truck" and "Family Portrait" in the back, the competition for the box office between the three giants was like an invisible gunsmoke, which opened a new beginning for the glory period of Xiangjiang Pictures.

Time came to September, after 40 days of hot screening, the final box office of "The True Color of Heroes" was as high as 37 million, breaking the record of Xiangjiang film history again and becoming the first high-grossing movie.

Although the starting point of "Food Truck" is not as high as "The True Color of Heroes", the final box office still reached 21.31 million, while "Family Portrait" of Xinyicheng came from behind, and the final box office was as high as 22.12 million, making "Food Truck" only deign to third this summer.

The three films of the three giants of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and New Arts City, with a total box office of 80 million, the high profits of which made many businessmen and associations in Xiangjiang blush, and soon after, the first Yongsheng Film Company with a community background was established this summer. Later, Lin Baixin, a well-known wealthy man in Xiangjiang, began to invest in ATV, preparing to wrestle with Shao Daheng. With the entry of these two, I believe that the future Xiangjiang film and television circle will be quite exciting.

The new box office record of 37 million brought Wang Zheng great fame at the same time, but also added a lot of trouble to him, every time he went out, there were many paparazzi following and secretly filming, not to mention, there were countless film companies, producers, investors, etc. who came to the door every day, so that he was annoyed In addition to unplugging the phone at home, he was also ready to go to the mainland in advance to temporarily avoid the limelight.

The box office record once again made Shao Tycoon very happy, and Wang Zheng's mentality of temporarily avoiding the limelight, the celebration banquet held was not only bigger and more lively, but also broadcast live on TVB at the same time, and invited singers such as Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong to perform on stage.

After the celebration banquet, Wang Zheng put down everything at hand, deposited the 20 million Hong Kong dollars given by Shao Yifu into the HSBC account, and began to prepare to go north.

"Zheng, take me with you, you were so busy some time ago, you didn't have time to accompany me, this time you leave, and I don't know how long it will take to come back, I don't care, in short, you must take me, otherwise I will secretly follow you."

In the dormitory of Dunhoulou, Guan Zhilin took Wang Zheng's hand and kept being coquettish, and in the end, he even used threats.

Wang Zheng had no choice but to take her, so he said helplessly: "This trip to the mainland is mainly to do a few things for the sixth uncle, and I also have to go to the depths of the Dunhuang Desert, the road will be very hard, and it is for your good not to take you there, besides, aren't you still filming Wang Fatzi's "Frog Prince"?" ”

In addition to tilting resources to Wang Zheng, Wang Jing, a cutting-edge director, is also very valued by Shao Tycoon.

In the middle of the year, Wang Da Fat Man wanted to shoot the self-written and directed "The Frog Prince", Shaw Brothers not only arranged for him to have a wireless brother Wan Ziliang, but also put Zhong Zhentao, who became popular because of "Seven Days of Wrong Love", into the starring lineup, and the heroine's lineup is unprecedentedly strong, in addition to Guan Zhilin, there are also Zhong Chuhong and Zhang Manyu, two beauties, and Chen Huimin and Chen Baixiang play supporting roles, and the cast is a few points better than "The True Color of Heroes".

Wang Zheng's words made Guan Zhilin's big eyes rise with mist, and after a while, pearl-like tears fell out, she stomped her feet and choked up: "Woo, you don't care about me at all, "The Frog Prince" was completed as early as the beginning of the month. ”

Wang Zheng really didn't know about this, when "The True Color of Heroes" was released, he heard Guan Zhilin say that he was filming Wang Da Fatman's play, but he didn't expect it to be completed in more than a month.

Wang Zheng hurriedly explained: "I've been caring about the box office of "The True Color of Heroes" before, and I didn't care about you well, it's me who is not good!" ”

Wang Zheng didn't explain, but after explaining, Guan Zhilin cried even more fiercely, and big tears kept falling.

Wang Zheng was helpless, picked up Guan Zhilin's tear-stained face, and said in a low voice: "As a man, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, even if I have nothing, I will not lose the courage to come again, but I am most afraid of seeing my beloved woman crying in front of me." ”

Guan Zhilin's deep voice made Guan Zhilin stop crying, and his tearful eyes stared at Wang Zheng, who was full of love.

I only heard Wang Zheng continue: "Because when she cries, I can't help but want to laugh, hahaha..."

The style of painting changed too quickly, so that Guan Zhilin, who thought that Wang Zheng would say love words to coax him, was stunned for a moment, raised his pink fist and greeted Wang Zheng, even forgetting to cry, and said angrily while fighting: "You decrepit person, don't forget to tease me at this time." ”

Wang Zheng took the rampaging Guan Zhilin into his arms, and coaxed her after she couldn't move: "Don't be angry, just kidding!" ”

Guan Zhilin, who couldn't break free, said angrily: "Then do you know that you are wrong? ”

Wang Zheng nodded again and again: "Wrong, I was wrong!" ”

"The hinterland..."

Without waiting for Guan Zhilin to finish speaking, Wang Zheng simply said: "Go, go together, but everything on the road must be under my command." ”

"Good!"

Guan Zhilin was so satisfied that he smiled, not at all like he had cried just now, which made Wang Zheng wonder if she was acting just now.

To comfort Guan Zhilin, Wang Zheng went to the wireless building to say goodbye to Shao Daheng.

Seeing Wang Zheng in such a hurry, the tycoon said with some unease: "After the Cultural Revolution, the security in the mainland is not very good, do you want me to arrange a few bodyguards to go with you?" ”

Wang Zheng waved his hand and refused: "Thank you Sixth Uncle, the bodyguards are not necessary, as a Chinese, returning to the mainland is like going home." In addition to donating money for Uncle Six this time, I am also ready to browse the mountains and rivers of the mainland, and choose the location for future dramas. ”

Seeing Wang Zheng say this, the tycoon didn't insist anymore, and finally only arranged for a person in charge of the Shaw Foundation to accompany him to help Wang Zheng deal with the problem of funds, after all, Wang Zheng himself does not understand the economy very well.

After everything was ready, Wang Zheng found 14K Liangkun and asked him if he would like to go to the mainland with him.

Ever since he witnessed the creation process of "Prison Storm" in the detention room of the police station, Liang Kun has been looking forward to the start of filming of this drama, and after listening to Wang Zheng's request, he patted his chest and agreed without thinking about it.

Wang Zheng liked his cheerful and simple personality very much, and together with Guan Zhilin and the person in charge of the Shaw Foundation, a group of four people came to Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon City District one day in September and began to go north.
