After a month of release, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" took the lead in Hong Kong, although the box office did not break the record of "Pirates of Malacca",

But it's also pretty good.

reached 81.37 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition to the magnificent picture of the film, the profound portrayal of the characters, and the gripping plot, such achievements can be achieved.

The main thing is a strong cast.

Some media even bluntly said that such a strong cast as "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has never been seen in the history of Hong Kong films.

There will be no more in the future.

This may be an exaggeration, but it also reflects the huge impact of the film's strong cast. The media is still like this,

Not to mention the average viewer.

The primary purpose of many audiences entering the cinema is not for the movie itself, but to watch the scenes of more than a dozen beautiful women.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

Subsequently, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and other countries and regions also spoke one after another. It also achieved a strong box office.

It is worth mentioning Japan.

During its release in Japan, the film was boycotted and vandalized by some right-wingers, and there were even cases where viewers were beaten after watching the film.

The police arrested more than 50 people.

The incident has attracted significant attention in Japan, and TV Asahi conducted an investigation on December 18 based on street interviews.

Hundreds of random interviews were conducted.

――――――――――――

Reporter: Hello, I'm a reporter from TV Asahi, and now we are doing a market research, can you delay for a few minutes?

Passerby: Hello, you're welcome.

Reporter: Look at your dress should be a white-collar worker in the company, right? Now "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is being screened, I don't know if you have seen it?

Passerby: I just went to see it with my boyfriend the other day.

Reporter: What do you think?

Passerby: I'm shocked, there is very little access to this information in China, and there is no record in the history books, so I have never known about it.

It's hard to imagine that we've ever done something like this.

Seriously, I wasn't entirely convinced at first, until yesterday. My company is an American-owned company with many American employees.

One of them has a good relationship with me,

He also went to the cinema some time ago to watch "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and then he just returned to China to deal with some things, so he stopped by and went to the library.

A large amount of relevant information was found.

made him have to believe that the message conveyed by the film was true. When he returned to Japan, he shared everything he knew with his colleagues at the company.

To this day, I find it incredible.

Reporter: Since the release of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", there have often been some people who make trouble, sabotage and even beat audiences outside the cinema.

What do you think about this?

Passerby: I guess someone wants to cover up the historical truth. After World War II, Germany's attitude towards the Jews earned them the world's forgiveness.

is participating in more and more international affairs.

If we have also done something wrong, we should actively admit and compensate. Instead of going to great lengths to cover it up, this is irresponsible.

Reporter: Thank you.

――――――――――――

Reporter: Hello sir, I'm a reporter from TV Asahi, and I'm doing a social survey, can I delay you for a few minutes?

Passerby: Okay.

Reporter: Have you ever watched "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?

Passerby: I heard that it was a very good and meaningful film, but I was too busy with work to go to the cinema all the time.

Reporter: How much do you know about it?

Passerby: Not much, I heard others say that it is a movie about the massacre of civilians by the Japanese army in Nanjing in World War II, with hundreds of thousands of victims.

In fact, I already know this history.

My grandfather was a soldier who participated in the attack on Nanjing, and although he did not personally participate in the massacre, he witnessed the incident.

My grandfather died the year before last,

When he was alive, he told me and my father that we would be able to pay homage to the victims on his behalf if we had the chance.

Reporter: I hope you can fulfill your grandfather's last wish.

I don't know if you have seen the news from the newspaper that the audience of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was beaten for no reason when they left the cinema?

Passerby: Yes.

This is really a terrible thing, and even though half a century has passed, there are still some people who do not admit defeat and deny war crimes.

I'm not a politician and don't want to say too much.

However, I believe that if Japan wants to become a normal country, the first thing to do is to face up to history, and there is no point in covering it up.

―――――――――――――

Reporter: Hello, I take the liberty of excuse me, I'm from TV Asahi, and I'm doing a social survey, can I delay you for a few minutes?

Passerby: Hehe, yes, yes.

Reporter: I don't know how old the old man is this year?

Passerby: I'm almost eighty years old, probably older than your grandfather. Hehe, you said you were doing a social survey, what kind of survey?

Reporter: Do you know "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?

Passerby (his face changed slightly, he was speechless for a long time): I know, but I haven't seen it, it's just that for me, I don't need to know that history from the movie at all.

Reporter: What do you mean......

Passerby: I am a soldier who participated in the war of aggression against China, although it was not the Nanjing battlefield, but I have heard my colleagues talk about the cruelty of that war.

In just a few days, the entire city of Nanjing was full of corpses.

It's like a ghost town.

I don't want to cover up my crimes. During the invasion of China, many Chinese civilians also died at my hands, even though it was during the war.

A lot of things are up to me.

But a mistake is a mistake.

Now I am a member of the China-Japan Friendship Association, and a few years ago we went to China to pay respects to a cemetery in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province.

Hundreds of martyrs are buried inside.

Reporter: I'm sorry to mention your sadness.

Passerby: Don't say that, I hope to make up for the crimes I have committed in my lifetime. I also hope that young people can learn more about history.

It may not be recorded in the book, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Reporter: Indeed, I only learned about this history after watching "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". Have you ever heard of a crowd being beaten?

Passerby: Is there such a thing?

Reporter: So far, there have been eight cases, and the most serious brain injury is still in the intensive care unit of the hospital.

Police detained dozens of people.

Passerby: Hmph, some people just want the world to be chaotic, and they only isolate Japan by doing so, and I hope that this will not happen again.

――――――――――――

In the news on the evening of the 19th, TV Asahi broadcast interviews with the above people, but for safety reasons, their faces were mosaic.

At the same time, the interview data was released,

Of the 120 people interviewed, 67% believed that history should be taken seriously, and 27% believed that the content of the film was apocryphal.

6 per cent did not take a position.

It can be seen that most Japanese people still distinguish between right and wrong. However, after the news was broadcast, it aroused criticism from some right-wing forces.

They pointed out that TV Asahi is a Hong Kong-controlled TV station.

The so-called news is speaking for the Chinese. It also denounced the Japanese employees of TV Asahi as treason, despicable and shameful.

Some right-wingers even protested outside the television station and caused trouble.

However, even so, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is still being screened in major theaters in Japan, and more and more young people are entering the cinema.

The United States spoke four days later than Hong Kong.

As the largest box office of Hong Kong films, it did not disappoint this time, reaching 149 million US dollars, although it is slightly lower than "Life is Beautiful".

But it's already quite high.

It is expected that the global box office will probably reach around $370 million. According to Wei Xiong's plan, this money deducts the production fee and publicity fee,

The rest will form a foundation.

The foundation has two tasks: first, to provide material assistance to veterans of World War II who are living in difficulty.

Secondly, the construction and maintenance of martyrs' cemeteries.

These two tasks were originally the unshirkable responsibilities of the state, but there are priorities, and the country is currently in a period of rapid economic development.

Many things can only be put on hold for a while.

For example, in military construction, although the state has increased its investment in military construction in the past two years, its annual military spending is still far from sufficient.

And like a martyr's cemetery,

Except for a few major large martyrs' cemeteries, the rest are basically unmanaged, and have even become barren wilderness.

In addition, the remains of many martyrs were not buried.

Or even directly violent corpse wilderness.

This is undoubtedly very sad and lamentable.

At present, the foundation named 'Great Wall' is already in the preparatory stage, and the funds involved will be gradually disbursed in the next six months.

And when "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" spoke one after another,

Another big drama produced by Webster Films, "Journey to the West 1: Moonlight Treasure Box", held its world premiere in Hong Kong on Christmas Eve.

As the Christmas drama of this year's Webster movie,

The importance of the film is self-evident, and many big-name stars under Wei's agency are here, and these people do not necessarily have a good relationship with Zhou Xingchi.

But the company arranged it, and they naturally came.

As the protagonist of the film, Zhou Xingchi is even more energetic today, wearing a neat black suit, and walking on the red carpet with Karen Mok holding hands.

Zhu Yin walked the red carpet with Wu Mengda.

In other words, the first and second parts of "Journey to the West" were filmed together, and the storyline was also coherent, but they were released separately.

On the importance of roles,

Karen Mok is obviously the heroine of the first part.

But the scene is actually similar to Wen Bixia who plays the spider spirit. As for Zhu Yin, she only appears for a few minutes at the end of the film.

In the second part, she is the heroine.

In addition, in order to avoid suspicion, it was naturally not her undisclosed real girlfriend who walked the red carpet with Zhou Xingchi, but Mok Wenwei.

She didn't think much of it.

However, things often turn out as a surprise.

The premiere went well, and in the interview session, Zhou Xingchi attracted almost all the attention, and the others were reduced to foils.

This is the first time he has occupied the Christmas stall,

According to past experience, as long as there are no major accidents, the box office hit is a foregone conclusion, and his fame will definitely rise to a higher level by then.

His first film to be released worldwide was "Strange Jack in Disguise".

In that film, he gave Western audiences their first glimpse of his nonsensical comedy of Zhou, which also achieved good box office results.

But there has been no breakthrough since then.

Even the comedy blockbuster "Skyhawk Squad" starring him in the middle of the year hit the streets in the US market, only achieving more than 20 million box office.

The film was financed by Huang Baiming's Oriental Films.

is a film that combines science fiction and comedy, and was given high expectations, but it disappointed investors such as Huang Baiming.

Fortunately, the Asian box office is good, so there is no loss.

After the premiere, Webster Films held a dinner as usual, and Chow Xingchi was still the brightest star of the dinner, not one of them.

This made Zhou Xingchi's whole person in a state of excitement.

Especially after listening to the comments of some film critics and well-known media people on the film, he was in a better mood and seemed to have seen a box office hit.

The dinner lasted until 10 o'clock,

Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, Mok Wenwei and other main creators stood at the door of the dinner hall and said goodbye to all the guests. After a while, the people were gone.

looked at the empty hall,

Zhou Xingchi swept the people around him and said with a smile: "I must not have had fun just now, I have already booked a place, and the next game will be held later." ”

Luo Jiaying is also a person who loves to drink,

How could it be possible to drink all the joy on such an occasion just now, when he heard Zhou Xingchi's proposal at this moment, he immediately echoed: "Okay, today is a good day,

How can you drink half of it and leave. ”

The others also responded, and finally Zhu Yin said with some hesitation: "I still have some things, or you go to play, I won't go." ”

Mok Wenwei glanced at Zhou Xingchi,

Then he said: "If it's not urgent, let's go play together, just leave you alone, what a disappointment, and it's rare for everyone to get together." ”

Zhu Yin couldn't help but look embarrassed.

It's not that she's unsociable, but she really has something important, a few days ago her father was hospitalized with a heart attack, and she didn't have time because she was busy with publicity.

I only went to see it once in a hurry, and I was always very uneasy.

Now that the film is finally released, she wants to go with the night. Zhou Xingchi knew about this, so he said: "Ah Yin is really something,

Don't be embarrassed. ”

Then Zhou Xingchi asked the others to go to the bar where he had booked a box first.

He personally drove Zhu Yin to the hospital. When she got out of the car, Zhu Yin kissed Zhou Xingchi's lips: "Remember, don't play too late,

Also, be careful when driving on the road. ”

Zhou Xingchi nodded and said, "If I drink too much later, I will take a taxi back." You also go to bed early, and call me if anything. ”

Lan Kwai Fong is the most famous bar street in Hong Kong.

And the Kessar (Caesar) bar is one of the standouts, and it is also a bar frequented by many celebrities in the circle.

Zhou Xingchi parked the car,

Before getting out of the car, he specially put on a mask. As he walked outside Kessar's bar, he was greeted by a bar manager.

Then walked into the bar with the manager.

It's not yet 11 o'clock, and it's the busiest time of the bar. It took a lot of effort for Zhou Xingchi to finally pass through the crowded crowd,

Enter the box.

As the door closed, the deafening DJ sound immediately became much quieter.

At this time, the box had been closed, and seeing Zhou Xingchi coming in, Mo Wenwei patted the sofa next to him and said, "I still have a seat here." ”

Zhou Xingchi just sat down,

With a bang, Luo Jiaying put a bottle of beer that had just been opened and was still bubbling in front of him: "Today you are the absolute protagonist,

Dry this bottle first. ”

Zhou Xingchi stood up with a beer and said with a smile: "If you want to do it, we will do it together, and the success of the film is not my business alone." ”

They all said that they didn't shed tears if they didn't see the coffin,

After a long period of snow hiding, the edges and corners of Zhou Xingchi's personality have been worn off a lot, although there are still such and such problems,

But it's definitely a lot better than before.

At least in the crew, they won't clash with others at every turn.

Wu Mengda immediately coaxed: "Ah Xing is right, Brother Ying, since you have picked this head, you have to drink this bottle of wine." ”

Luo Jiaying said angrily: "Isn't it just a bottle of wine, drink wine." ”

With a few gurgling sounds, a bottle of 300 ml of beer bottomed out, Luo Jiaying put the bottle mouth down, and there was an immediate cheer next to him.

Zhou Xingchi was naturally not to be outdone, and directly blew the bottle.

The atmosphere in the box immediately reached its peak, and after that, everyone exchanged cups. After a while, Zhou Xingchi reached over and took the wine: Why is it gone?"

Wu Mengda took a look: "Two dozen, one person is only four bottles." ”

Then he burped,

Then he walked over and opened the door, the deafening DJ sound drowned out all the sounds, and Wu Mengda could only gesture to the waiter for two more dozen beers.

After the waiter finishes delivering the wine,

I don't know who turned off the lights, and the room suddenly darkened, and then the ambient lights in the center of the ceiling and at the four corners lit up.

There is also a deafening DJ sound.

Mo Wenwei crouched in Zhou Xingchi's ear and shouted, "Let's go dance." After that, without waiting for Zhou Xingchi to answer, he pulled Zhou Xingchi to the center of the box.

Seeing this, the corners of Wen Bixia's mouth hooked slightly.

She is also a woman, and naturally understands women's minds best. In fact, as early as when she was filming, she found that Mok Wenwei's gaze at Zhou Xingchi was a little unusual.

……

It wasn't until almost two o'clock in the morning that a group of six people came out of the bar.

Except for Mok Wenwei and Wen Bixia, who walked normally, the other four men obviously drank too much, their faces were red, and their eyes were foggy.

Even walking is a little unsteady.

Luo Jiaying's hand was propped up on a telephone pole on the side of the road, and a taxi stopped next to him: "I...... I just took a taxi home.

Be careful on your way. ”

Because they knew they were going to drink, they didn't come by car, but parked in the parking lot of the hotel, and Zhou Xingchi was the only one who drove.

Wu Mengda looked at Zhou Xingchi, who was supported by Mo Wenwei

Before she could speak, Mo Wenwei spoke first: "Brother Da, you have also drunk a lot, just go back first, I will send Brother Xing back." ”

Belch......

Wu Mengda burped: "That's good, Lu ...... Be careful on the road. With that, he opened the door of a taxi on the side of the road and sat in.

Then the others followed.
