Since the release of "Modern Bodyguard" on June 15, comments in the media have appeared intensively.

"Ming Pao Weekly" commented: ""Modern Bodyguard" does not move the author from an artistic point of view, but only from the perspective of commercial films, "Modern Bodyguard" is undoubtedly the most successful one in Hong Kong's history! In terms of the cast of this movie, only Anita Mui is an unknown newcomer. The rest, whether it is Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanying, or screenwriter Zhang Shaojie, any one listed separately is enough to create a huge gimmick. The concentration of so many eye-catching big names has created a great eyeball effect. I think that any movie, with this gorgeous lineup of creators, will most likely be able to sell a good box office. What is gratifying is that this movie is a masterpiece above the level, with reasonable arrangements, interlocking suspense, and over-performance, but it also achieves the effect of comedy. The author is overjoyed by the success of "Modern Bodyguard", because this also marks the gradual maturity of the entire Hong Kong film industry! Finally, I wish "Modern Bodyguard" will continue to break the Hong Kong box office record after the first week of sales."

After this review in Ming Pao Weekly.

Film critics have expressed their opinions.

Some film critics analyzed "Modern Bodyguard" from the perspective of the plot and put forward the theory that the script is king.

Some film critics also pointed out that the reason why "Modern Bodyguard" can stand out in the environment of Hong Kong comedy movies is because of the directing and acting ability of veteran filmmakers such as Xu Guanwen.

Of course, there are some people who analyze the box office appeal of stars. thinks that the big-budget movies in the future will be a star competition

In fact, since the advent of movie special effects, there is not much future for big productions with many stars as gimmicks, and in the future, the status of stars will be replaced by computer special effects.

But at this time, Hong Kong film critics, although they did not realize that the tide of special effects movies was ready to start, and the traditional blockbuster system of the star lineup was already crumbling!

Zhang Shaojie knows that film critics seem to be professional, but in fact, many times, they are contrary to the development trend of films.

The film industry pays attention to the public, and film critics are generally niche!

The film industry is all about commercialization, and film critics especially hate commercialization!

The film industry pays attention to fashionable trends, and film critics are generally nostalgic and prefer classic old films

―――――――― Zhang Shaojie learned that the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" within a week actually reached 11.96 million Hong Kong dollars, and he couldn't help but be shocked! Historically, although this blockbuster was in 1981, with a box office of more than 17 million, it set a new box office record for Hong Kong films. However, that was the result of nearly 50 days after it was released.

And now it has set a box office record of HK$11.96 million in a week, becoming the first film in Hong Kong to break 10 million at the local box office!

In the late 60s, although the Bruce Lee movies in the early 70s were invincible in Hong Kong, they only grossed more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

And Xu Guanwen's previous movies only had a box office of seven or eight million Hong Kong dollars, and there is no precedent for breaking 10 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong for the time being!

Such amazing box office results, in addition to countless film critics, for Xu Guanwen's directing ability, and for Xu Guanjie's original music, are more controversial comments on Zhang Shaojie

The media has a view that Zhang Shaojie is the most outstanding talent in Hong Kong after Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Huang Zhan, and Cai Lan. Most of the other talents have made achievements in a certain field. But Zhang Shaojie's novels, movies, music, and so on have shown outstanding talent.

Regarding Zhang Shaojie's versatility, some people think that Zhang Shaojie is amazing, and some people think that Zhang Shaojie is sparse. Some people think that Zhang Shaojie is a simple boy, and some people think that he is despicable and evil

Zhang Shaojie himself, for these comments, is just a smile. In fact, he is a reborn person, this unique identity, will he talk nonsense?

At the same time, Anita Mui's "Demon Girl" sung in the movie was also a sensation, and on the street, countless girls copied the lyrics and learned to sing "The Demon Girl"!

In this era, this is a very bold and trendy song, and as long as the woman humming this song is not too ugly, the return rate is often very high.

However, an accident happened - on the night of June 20, a young girl, on the way home alone, hummed "Demon Girl", attracting bad teenagers to bad hearts, and several teenagers dragged the girl to the alley with the intention of forcibly destroying him. Fortunately, the police patrolling at night found out and scared away the delinquent teenagers, saved the girl, and stopped the tragedy

"The girl sang "Demon Girl" on the way home at night and was perverted and molested, and almost suffered a strong * annihilation." This incident has been in the news of many media reports recently.

"Girl" is not news, "Enchantress" is not news, and perversion is not news.

But the girl was almost annihilated by a pervert because she sang the recently popular song "Demon Girl", which is an extremely eye-catching news.

Countless reporters and literati began to write articles criticizing Zhang Shaojie and Anita Mui.

Because, the song "Demon Girl" was written and composed by Zhang Shaojie, and Anita Mui is the original singer of "Demon Girl", without Zhang Shaojie and Anita Mui, there would be no recently popular "Demon Girl"!

That girl, not a star chaser, will not attract the attention of perverts at night if she imitates and sings "Demon Girl".

TBV TV, a reporter named Chen Guanyu was present on the program, and said: "As we all know, Hong Kong has a new 17-year-old talent, Zhang Shaojie, as a cutting-edge writer and screenwriter, is also a composer. not only wrote a popular script like "Modern Bodyguard", but also wrote the song "Demon Girl" for his popular girlfriend! Zhang Shaojie's feelings for his girlfriend are worthy of admiration, and in order to make his girlfriend popular, it can be described as a hard measure. However, has Zhang Shaojie ever thought about it, is it necessary for such a vulgar song to appear in the movie? If a girl is in front of me and sings this song, I must think that she has a crush on me and is seducing me. Not to mention, those young girls singing on the street and those young people listening, will the young people be excited?"

There are also some vicious comments that said: "The girl who was almost annihilated by singing "Demon Girl" is not worthy of sympathy at all." This song itself is not a healthy song. It's a song sung by a bad woman when she seduces a man. When you sing this song, the other party subconsciously seduces him. Isn't this inciting others to sin against you? So, whoever wants to sing this song and is forcibly annihilated by the bad guys, I will definitely not sympathize with her! Because it deserves it, if there is a well-bred girl, who would sing such a explicit song? ”

Countless criticisms in the media, and even some vicious threatening letters, were written to Golden Harvest, which was forwarded by Golden Harvest to Anita Mui.

In the past few days, she has received hundreds of scolding and threatening letters, which made Anita Mui almost collapse

At Anita Mui's house, she has been bedridden for more than a day, without eating, drinking, or doing any activities.

Zhang Shaojie was very worried, so he went to her house and knocked on the door.

She looked haggard!

"It's you, Shaojie!" Anita Mui opened the door weakly.

Zhang Shaojie was taken aback, helped her, and asked with concern: "Yanfang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Anita Mui said: "Nothing? ”

"It's nothing, so weak, so pale, it's better to go to the hospital for examination, don't shy away from the doctor!" Zhang Shaojie said distressedly, in fact, Anita Mui has always been a person who can't take good care of herself. In addition, the two Anita Mui sisters were found to have cancer when they were in their thirties, but it was already at an advanced stage. I didn't find it before, so I delayed the treatment, and after fighting cancer for ten years, I lost my fragrance in my 40s.

Anita Mui pushed him away and said, "It's really fine, I just haven't eaten for more than a day!" ”

Zhang Shaojie was more diligent and said: "By the way, I still have dumplings sent by Yishu in the refrigerator at home, I will bring them and cook them for you?" ”

Anita Mui nodded and said, "En" Zhang Shaojie made the dumplings, and after Anita Mui was full and full, she seemed to have a little spirit.

Under Zhang Shaojie's inquiry, I finally learned that Anita Mui felt lonely and powerless because of the criticism of "Demon Girl" in the media.

Zhang Shaojie is a little emotional, for the pressure on the media, Zhang Shaojie as a traverser, these innocuous comments are generally regarded as a passing cloud, not to mention in a few years, even if it is a few months, those criticisms will be forgotten by the public, the entertainment industry is very glamorous and dazzling on the surface, in fact, it is not a huge industry, compared with banking, securities, real estate, shipping, manufacturing, the entertainment industry is an inconspicuous industry.

In fact, Hong Kong's top rich people don't look down on Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

Because, Li Ka-shing casually builds a skyscraper, which is more than the annual output value of the entire film and record industry combined. Bao Yugang has hundreds of ships, and taking out some ocean-going ships of tens of thousands of tons is also bigger than the interests of the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle!

Not to mention giants such as HSBC, whose profits in 1980 exceeded 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is larger than the operating income of all Hong Kong movies, TV series, and records combined!

"Shaojie, what should I do?" Anita Mui was extremely helpless.

"It's okay! What about me? Zhang Shaojie said.

Anita Mui said with tears in her eyes: "But, you are scolding me everywhere, is it that the songs I sing are so annoying?" ”

Zhang Shaojie sneered: "The vast majority of these letters were started by the criticism of a few psychologically shady commentators, and most of the rest are following the trend and scolding, it's not a big deal!" However, I also see that the surname Chen is unhappy, today I will write a letter to pay tribute to him and submit it to "Ming Pao"! ”
