The big guy Shaw Brothers Pictures, the second Golden Harvest, the third New Art City, and a group of large and medium-sized cinema chains all schedule "Dark War" once a day, or two, and most of the screenings are arranged in the 'garbage time' of noon and midnight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But none of these affected the popularity of "Dark War"!

Whether it is from the quality or the meaning of the film, because there are a lot of satirical Huang inspiration, satirizing the police who are afraid of responsibility and death, this connotation of funny interspersed period, the whole play in love, friendship, and social portrayal, is invincible.

On the fourth day of release, the box office reached 10 million!

This is an unimaginable achievement in the field of small-budget films, far exceeding the box office efficiency of Zhang Xuan's previous three high-quality films he selected, "The True Color of Heroes", "Mr. Zombie" and "Unfaithful".

The reason for this phenomenal phenomenon is mainly because during this time, there are no works in Hong Kong films, before Zhang Xuan and Jiahe fought the method, Zhang Xuan was a little better, a small entertainment company, without its own plan, just come and go, people Jiahe is a big company, the films are all planned, and the four major plays of the year were killed at one time, and now they are in a gestation period, or a low tide period, and everyone is tired of filming while dripping, and there is also a rest process, isn't it?

It's not like Zhang Xuan filmed these action movies, how long does it take to turn over and over in one shot of other people's action movies? How troublesome is it to build the prop background alone? Zhang Xuan, who has filmed "The True Color of Heroes", has already learned it.

Underworld movies and C-grade movies are much easier, a few machetes, a big bed, and it's done.

Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua sat in the luxurious box of their own cinema to watch the movie.

""Dark War" has a very rare calmness in Hong Kong movies, the film does not have the chase and stunt action common in police movies, but the two male protagonists fight wits and courage all the way." Shao Yifu exclaimed, "Zhang Xuan is indeed talented. ”

"You just know he's talented? If he was from TVB, I think I would have liked him a lot. Fang Yihua nodded, "There is a type in police and gangster films where a shrewd policeman sets off a more shrewd thief, because only by dueling with a master, victory is more golden, and the police and bandit duel in "Dark War" belongs to this category. Zhang Xuan's performance is good, and this big black guy is okay. ”

The big black man of course refers to Liu Qingyun.

The two of them didn't even know that Liu Qingyun was once the trick of TVB, TVB's star resources are too rich, an actor of Liu Qingyun's level, if it weren't for Zhang Xuan, it would take at least six or seven years to enter the sight of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother like Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua.

"Originally, there was a Golden Harvest, there was a new art city, Shaw Brothers Pictures has become more and more difficult, and now there is another Zhang Xuan." Shao Yifu likes movies because he likes movies, after all, he is a businessman, thinking of the deterioration of Shaw Brothers Pictures, his mood naturally does not improve, a cigar has not been extinguished, Shao Yifu took out another cigar and lit the fire, and then smoked a cigar, he rarely smoked two cigarettes in a row.

"We asked Zhang Xuan to make a TV series, but the TV series has nothing to do with the box office of the movie, and Zhang Xuan didn't gain much popularity when he made a TV series, and his image in "Hooligan Tycoon" is not very good, the key is that his screenwriting talent is too terrible. "Dark War" still wins in the script. At such a young age, I don't know how his brain grows? Fang Yihua hurriedly cleared up, for fear that Shao Yifu would misunderstand that he had made Zhang Xuan popular.

"It's a pity that such talents are very arrogant, they opened their own entertainment companies at a young age, if they come to TVB, after two or three years, maybe they can become the youngest manager of TVB." Shao Yifu solicited Zhang Xuan for the first time.

Fang Yihua said with a smile: "Then you have to wait until his company goes bankrupt, but now, it seems that it is almost impossible, and you can only expect his slow development." ”

Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua expect Zhang Xuan's slow development, and Zou Minhuai and He Guanzhuan also think so.

The two watched Zhang Xuan's "Dark War" in their own theater.

"Zhang Xuan and Liu Qingyun, these two little-known actors, one is elegant and the other is shrewd, the image is very distinct, and the duel is extremely interesting. In the clash of intelligence, there is always a winner, and in the clash of acting, it can be described as a win-win. Zou Minhuai said in a deep voice, this is already a high evaluation for Zou Minhuai.

"Yes, I don't know who this Zhang Xuan is from? A 15-year-old boy really has some ability. The film is fast-paced and has the flavor of a Hollywood shootout movie. Portrayal of friendship between men, especially between police and bandits. The entry point is unique, which is why the word of mouth is so good. In the past, we were all simply playing the righteousness between bandits and bandits, and people are already portraying the feelings between bandits and policemen, this is innovation! The ups and downs of the plot, the completely different jokes, and the faint love story that is not directly announced on the surface make this movie more watchable. Although there is also a love in this play, it has been diluted, and the intricate relationship and emotion between the bandits and the police in the film, and the entangled grievances between men and men are the reasons why this film makes the audience nervous during the viewing process. He Guanzhuo's assessment is more specific.

"Dark War" is the beginning of Du Qifeng's balance from art to business, and the film unfolds in a seemingly deliberately designed intellectual game, in which Liu Qingyun and Andy Lau's sympathy for each other obviously has the meaning of the creator's own situation.

This movie made Andy Lau finally break through the bottleneck of his acting skills when he was approaching middle age.

It can be said that the original "Dark War" in history is a representative work of Andy Lau and Du Qifeng who have reached the peak level.

Although the robber played by Zhang Xuan only has four weeks to live, he is bent on avenging his father, and the film does not focus too much on showing the "coolness" of Zhang Xuan's appearance.

And the wit and slight cynicism revealed in Zhang Xuan's eyes aptly reflect the characteristics of this character.

Liu Qingyun plays the role of He Shangsheng, a negotiator, and his restrained and calm acting skills make the role of He Shangsheng a representative work in the police role he plays.

The chess opponent's police and bandit duel has built the gripping internal tension of "Dark War", and the movie is different from many Hong Kong police and gangster films with thrilling and exciting shots to attract attention, but it is quite ingenious in the excellent portrayal of the characters' emotions.

Zhang Xuan and Liu Qingyun were two men who were a policeman and a bandit, and the two had calmly sympathized with each other before.

The suffocating love between Zhang Xuan and Wang Zhengxian, and the sense of urgency of the countdown to life, have all formed a touching inner depth in this movie, and the sincere warmth under the coat of police and bandit themes is moving.

Zou Minhuai and He Guanzhuo stopped talking.

As silent as they were, Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Shi Tian, the three bigwigs of the New Art City.

New Art City now has a vague trend of competing with Golden Harvest for hegemony, and the old Shaw Brothers Pictures is no longer regarded as a big enemy by the three of them.

"We must not let this Chinese entertainment company get up." Huang Baiming wore thick glasses, and he looked like a gentleman, but his mind was very heavy.

"It's hard to press, try your best. It is estimated that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest will think the same way. Mecca chimed in.

"Dark War" cost less than a million to shoot.

The films released at the same time as "Dark War" include Golden Harvest's "Three Treasures of Wisdom and Bravery", directed by Wu Ma.

The movie of Xinyicheng in the same period is "The Emperor of Work", directed by Xu Ke, and "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" by Xinyicheng, which is starring Huang Baiming himself.

One of Golden Harvest's films and two films from New Art City, no matter which one of them, has a cost of more than 2 million, which is not a big production, but the cost is much higher than "Dark War".

In the original history, "Three Treasures of Wisdom and Bravery", "The Working Emperor" and "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" were all films with top ten results in 1985.

But after Zhang Xuan's rebirth, the situation was completely reversed.

Four movies were released at the same time, and there were long queues at the ticket windows of "Dark Wars" in each theater.

The audience of the other three movies only buys one or two tickets per person, while the audience of "Dark War" goes to the movies with the whole family, and even many companies will charter the venue, but these people have nothing to do with Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan doesn't like to cheat, especially not to swipe tickets.

If you want to see it, you can buy a ticket. [Make an advertisement, all the book friends and relatives of "Rebirth Xiangjiang", hurry up and vote for recommendation, vote for monthly tickets, and give rewards]

This is a real crushing, "Dark War" crushed all the movies of the same period, and the total box office of more than a dozen movies in the same period, even in the lower stage, every day combined, could not catch up with one-fifth of the box office of "Dark War" in a single day.

However, what made Zhang Xuan feel that the fly in the ointment was that Liu Qingyun was more popular than him.

"Dark War" only increased the number of Zhang Xuan's fans by another thousand, and most of them were female fans, and most of the girls came for Zhang Xuan's appearance of little fresh meat.

Especially in the film, in the minibus, Zhang Xuan used to sit with Wang Qixian in order to avoid police inspection.

A simple encounter, without any foreshadowing.

Wang Jixian is indeed a goddess, and this is also the first time that Wang Jixian has left a deep impression on the audience on the big screen.

In the original history, Wang Qixian became popular in Asia because of "A Chinese Ghost Story", but also because "A Chinese Ghost Story" became popular, which also caused everyone to be unable to reverse their impression of Wang Qixian, it seems that Wang Zhengxian should be Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian should be Wang Zhengxian, actors are very afraid of being stereotyped, Wang Zhengxian's life, it seems that he can no longer be separated from the image of Xiaoqian.

This is actually not good for a goddess with such conditions as Wang Qixian, if she can be reborn, Zhang Xuan thought, maybe Wang Qixian would prefer that she had not played Xiaoqian.

Zhang Xuan sat next to Wang Qixian in the minibus, deliberately revealing the pistol on the belt around his waist.

Wang Xianxian looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise and was stunned.

Zhang Xuan put his arm around Wang Yuxian's shoulders and said coldly, "It's okay if you don't speak." Then he put on his sunglasses for Wang Zhengxian, took off one of the earbuds that Wang Zhengxian was listening to, and put them in his ear.

The whole film of "Dark War" has very little explanation of the relationship between men and women, but every time Wang Jixian appears, it can play the finishing touch and promote the plot and emotions, which is one of the most successful places!

"Come here." Zhang Xuan looked out the window expressionlessly and did not look at the police.

Wang Qixian glanced at the 'unfamiliar' Zhang Xuan and leaned over obediently.

The police came up to check, the police got out of the car, and in the middle, Zhang Xuan and Wang Qixian leaned together quietly, and the artistic conception was very beautiful.

This paragraph has wiped out all the young male and female audiences, if it weren't for the high fan requirements of the entertainment industry overlord cultivation system, Zhang Xuan would definitely not have attracted more than 1,000 fans!

At present, Zhang Xuan's basic values are:

The appearance is: 41 points.

The aura is: 32 points.

The acting is: 40 points.

Singing is: 42 o'clock.

Eloquence: 23 points.

Kung Fu is: 35 points.

The dance is: 10 points.

However, Zhang Xuan already has 5 spare happy beans.

Zhang Xuan was immersed in the box office miracle brought by "Dark War", sitting alone in the office smoking and watching the movie.

Watching his own works, this is Zhang Xuan's greatest enjoyment now, it is really more than 10,000 times more refreshing than watching other people's movies!

He likes to watch movies quietly by himself, and he doesn't like to watch them with others, which gives him time to think and not be disturbed.

At this rate, there is no suspense that "Dark War" will exceed 30 million box office, and it can even hit 40 million box office!

This is a miracle for him and Liu Qingyun, two newcomers!

"Brother Xuan, it's not good." Xue He came in.

Zhang Xuan doesn't like someone to interrupt him halfway, no matter what he does, eating, going to the toilet, sleeping, working, he can only find him in between!

He knew that Xue He must have something urgent, although he was unhappy, he was still calm, "What's the matter?" ”

"Brother Xuan, I didn't deliberately annoy you at this time, didn't you say that the filming of "Ah Lang's Story" will start soon? The people in the sales department went to contact various theaters, large and small theaters, and they all boycotted us, and they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. "Dark War" also has many theaters that are off the shelves for no reason. Xue He reported.

"What?" Zhang Xuanqi's hair almost curled, and he stood up all of a sudden, "Who is this ghost?" ”

"I don't know the specific situation, it seems that Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Art City have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and some large and medium-sized theaters that have a good relationship with them also participate." Xue He said distressedly.

Zhang Xuan walked back and forth a few steps, asked people to stop the screening of "Dark War", and walked out of the test room of the Chinese Entertainment Company.

"This shouldn't be their joint efforts to suppress us, it should be pink eye!" Zhang Xuan made his own judgment.

Xue He nodded, "It should be like this, otherwise it doesn't make sense, you can't make money if you put it?" Brother Xuan, what now? ”

Zhang Xuan didn't speak and returned to his office.

Zhao Yazi, Sha Li, Zhang Feiyan, Zhou Huimin, Wang Qixian, Wen Bixia, Du Qifeng, Liu Qingyun, and a group of people in the office of the Chinese entertainment company all came over, and everyone got the news.

"Ah Xuan, what now?" Zhao Yazi asked uneasily.

Zhang Xuan is really a little annoying, it's cool to be the boss, but all the problems are pressed on his head!

Especially the 'small' boss of this kind of small company, it is even more difficult to live!

When can I remove the word 'small' and change it to 'big' boss, it should be cool, right?

Zhang Xuan thought for a while, "In this case, you can only unite with one of the predators, the best choice is to find Shaw Brothers Pictures, as long as Shao Yifu is willing to help, their tacit understanding will immediately fall apart!" ”

Zhao Yazi nodded, "Yes, this is the same as a faucet, several large faucets are turned off, even if the small faucets are turned on to the maximum, the speed of releasing water is still not enough, once a big faucet starts to release water, the other faucets will not dare to turn off, because not only will it not play a limiting role, but it will also watch others make money!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled: "Your analogy is very appropriate! By the time I make the big faucet, the water pipes for them will be blocked! ”

Burst!

You're ruthless enough.

Zhao Yazi, Sha Li, Zhang Feiyan, Zhou Huimin, Wang Qixian, Wen Bixia, Du Qifeng, Liu Qingyun, a group of people looked at Zhang Xuan, usually thinking that Zhang Xuan was gentle and elegant, and had a good temper, but he didn't expect it to be very fierce.

"The key is that Shao Yifu is willing to help?" Zhao Yazi asked uneasily.

"He refuses, even if he is stupid, he must want to take advantage of us, and want to rely on my talent to rescue Shaw Brothers Pictures from the predicament of dying!" Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes, "However, I don't want to go to him!" ”

At present, there are less than 200 large-scale cinemas in Hong Kong, and there are thousands of chaotic cinemas in total, but more than half of the movie box office is controlled by these 200 large-scale cinemas.

Especially Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers!

Golden Harvest has about 30 large-scale theaters, and Shaw Brothers Pictures is about the same number, these two account for about 30% of the market!

These two bigwigs refuse to bow their heads, and it will be difficult for other theaters to have a way.

Therefore, there have been incidents in history where Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have joined forces to suppress New Art City.

Of course, Zhang Xuan is not a new art city, Zhang Xuan doesn't like to bow his head to people casually, he just entered the entertainment industry, and when he didn't have a fart, Zhang Xuan dared not sign a contract with the TV station, not to mention that Zhang Xuan is now at least tens of millions of people no matter what he says!

"If you don't look for Shao Yifu, do you want to go to Zou Minhuai?" Zhao Yazi asked in surprise.

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "I don't want to look for anyone, Shao Yifu and Zou Minhuai may be waiting for me to find the door at this time!" I'm not afraid of their monopoly, I'm not short of money, it's their business that they love monopoly, it's a big deal not to make movies for the time being! I specialize in selling scripts! They engage in our small entertainment company, and I will join forces with small entertainment companies to boycott them! ”

Burst!

Zhang Xuan's idea is unheard of!

It's all big companies suppressing small companies, can small companies still suppress big companies?
