Chapter 212: The Battle for the Box Office (2)

As soon as they entered the theater, the stars sat in the front row of the screening room, and the more than 1,000 audience members who were lucky enough to buy tickets for the premiere filled the huge screening hall in an instant.

Sitting in the front row, when Wang Zheng was looking around left and right, he suddenly saw Guan Yi not far away, and said to Guan Zhilin who was sitting next to him in surprise: "Jiahui, why is your father here." ”

Guan Zhilin glanced in the direction of Guan Yi and explained, "Well, he and Brother Sanmao are good friends in private, so he is here today." ”

Guan Shan and Hong Jinbao are good friends, Wang Zheng really didn't know about this, and asked, "Since you saw it, should we go and say hello?"

Guan Zhilin shook his head and said, "No need, I don't want to talk to him." ”

The estrangement between the father and daughter due to the divorce has not been relieved until now, and Wang Zheng can understand that since Guan Zhilin is unwilling, he did not force it, and quietly waited for the opening of the film.

After a while, Hong Jinbao took the stage to speak on behalf of the crew, and after saying a word of thanks to the audience and today's stars, the film started.

The overall story of "Lucky Stars" is very innovative, in addition to the wonderful fight scenes between Chen Long and Yuan Biao in the play, Hong Jinbao, Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Yaohan, Qin Xianglin, Feng Quifan, The five-person Wufuxing is full of jokes, especially the scene of ordering food with body language in the Waguo Hotel, which made the audience laugh more than once, and the scene where the five people pretended to be robbers and tied up with the heroine Hu Huizhong at night to take advantage of it, and even Wang Zheng, who had watched this film several times in another time and space, was so amused that he couldn't help laughing, not to mention the audience at the scene, and the audience with relatively low laughter was amused to dance. Pounding his chest and stunning, he looks crazy like a neurotic, but the audience doesn't care about this exaggerated action, because they all empathize with it.

At the end of the film, Chen Long and Wufuxing work together to successfully enter the boss's lair and rescue the kidnapped Yuan Biao, although this ending is a bit clichΓ©, but overall, this drama is an excellent action comedy whether it is placed in the 80s or the 21st century, until the end of the film, most of the audience is still immersed in the funny plot.

Revisiting this film from the perspective of a director, Wang Zheng sincerely admires Hong Jinbao's directing ability and funny talent, and he is also the most flexible fat man he has ever seen.

A dead fat man who can direct, act, be funny, and also know kung fu is actually the big brother in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, excluding the factor of Chenlong, Hong Jinbao's strength is beyond doubt.

At the end of the film screening, the audience left with a smile on their faces, judging from the sound they caused when watching the movie, Wang Zheng expected that the box office results of this drama would be very hot, and after that, he also felt some pressure, it seems that "Prison Storm" will also be released in advance.

Therefore, Wang Zheng declined Hong Jinbao's invitation to dinner, and left the Golden Harvest Theater early with Guan Zhilin, preparing to go to the wireless building to discuss the early release with Shao Daheng.

"Zheng, isn't that Sister Qingxia?"

In the parking lot of Jiahe Cinema, Wang Zheng was about to start "911" to leave, and Guan Zhilin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly pointed out the car window and said.

Wang Zheng looked in the direction of her finger and saw that Lin Qingxia had just gotten into a silver Rolls-Royce, and when the Rolls-Royce passed in front of the 911, the two saw that the person driving was the martial arts star Wang Yu.

Guan Zhilin's eyes flashed with gossip, and he asked curiously: "Why is Sister Qingxia with him, that Wang Yu is not a good person." ”

Wang Yu was the most popular actor in Xiangjiang in the 60s, and the box office champion of Xiangjiang for four consecutive years in 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1970 was all movies starring him, until Bruce Lee was born, Wang Yu's consecutive championships were not broken, but the record of four consecutive championships has not been broken until the 21st century.

As the saying goes, there are many people who are popular, Wang Yu is also a backbone member of the Treasure Island Gang, and has been involved in many bloody gang conflicts, the most famous is the Tianchu Restaurant incident.

Wang Yu was seriously injured for offending Liu Weimin, the boss of the Treasure Island Four Seas Gang, and then organized the Bamboo Union Gang to retaliate and cut the boss of the Flying Eagle Gang into serious injuries, this incident was called the "three major bloody cases" by the Xiangjiang media, Wang Yu also faded out of the entertainment industry and began to move to the business circle, but he didn't expect Hong Jinbao to invite him to the premiere, and he also got into the same car with Lin Qingxia, who was the image of the jade girl.

Wang Zheng slowly drove 911 out of the Jiahe Theater and said to Guan Zhilin, who looked curious: "Don't worry about other people's private affairs, learn a few more dishes when you have time, I haven't eaten your meal for a long time." ”

When it came to cooking, Guan Zhilin hurriedly told Wang Zheng about Guan's recipes, and no longer mentioned Wang Yu and the others.

Wang Zheng is not interested in the relationship between Wang Yu and Lin Qingxia, what he is interested in is how to surpass his record of maintaining the box office champion for four consecutive years, Wang Yu's virtue is not flattering, and it is better to let him fall off the altar as soon as possible.

came to the wireless building, talked to Shao Tycoon about the popularity of the premiere of "Lucky Star Gaozhao", as well as the performance of the audience, and suggested that Tycoon release "Prison Storm" in advance.

In the 80s, the release date of the movie was not as accurate as that of later generations, and the release date was often a temporary decision, after listening to Wang Zheng's suggestions and analysis, Shao Daheng thought so, and finally set the release date of "Prison Storm" on February 13, which is also a small year in the south.

Golden Harvest learned that Shaw Brothers had changed the release date of the new film, and hurriedly discussed with Tycoon Shao, and finally changed the release date of the co-production "Plan A Sequel" to February 14, Valentine's Day in the West.

The box office battle for the Lunar New Year stalls was kicked off by Hong Jinbao's Debao Company, followed by the two giants of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, and Xinyicheng, who originally planned to give up the Lunar New Year stalls, out of unwillingness, only spent a month for Shi Tian to shoot a Lunar New Year film "Wishing you prosperity", which was released behind the two giants.

Behind these four companies, there is also a small company, Goodman Pictures, and Fujian Studios' co-production, which is also lined up for the Chinese New Year, which is a follow-up to "Shaolin Temple" and has not been taken into account by the Big Three. Other companies chose to avoid the edge of the Big Three and did not schedule films in the Lunar New Year file.

During the Lunar New Year box office competition, the happiest people are the people of Xiangjiang, in addition to a lot of holidays and banknotes during the New Year, they can also enjoy a number of movies, and the poster walls of major multiplex theaters have been plastered with movie posters released during the Lunar New Year.

It is said that the Shaw Brothers will pick a date, but if "Goodbye Seven Days of Love" is released in the Chinese New Year file, I am afraid that it will only become cannon fodder, but it is a pity that Wang Guxian's pure performance is a pity.
