……

Shaw Brothers' annual sci-fi blockbuster "Interstellar Blunt Tire" has aroused the curiosity and enthusiasm of many fans because of its huge production cost, but it has been unanimously badly praised by film critics, but it broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies on the first day of release, which exceeded everyone's expectations, and even New Arts City and Golden Harvest were nervous.

As a result, the box office shrank by 60% on the second day, and by 50% again on the third day, and then it was directly released after only three days, and the final box office was only 1.65 million.

The experience of this movie can be described as a lot of ups and downs, which is really more exciting than the movie itself, so for a while, except for "Oriental Daily", other newspaper headlines gave this legendary movie.

Seeing these front-page headlines, Chen Lang frowned slightly.

The painting of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" is a good thing for Chen Lang, because "Happy Ghost" was officially released during the Spring Festival on December 28, but now the painting of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" has attracted everyone's attention, resulting in little attention to the news of the official release of "Happy Ghost" in the newspaper today, which makes Chen Lang quite worried about the box office of "Happy Ghost" on the first day.

At the same time, as one of the two most important schedules of the year, countless film companies are rushing to release their own company-produced movies at this time in order to grab the box office.

One of the top three Golden Harvest launched the bombshell is Jackie Chan's own director, starring Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, three brothers starring "Plan A", Chen Lang is very familiar with this movie, because this is one of many Jackie Chan's masterpieces, is a classic action movie.

This is Jackie Chan's first self-directed film after returning to Hong Kong after his failure to break into Hollywood, and this film also has an extremely significant significance in that Jackie Chan created a precedent for Bo Ming performance in this film.

There is a scene in the film where Jackie Chan falls vertically from a bell tower dozens of meters high to the ground, and the whole set of shots is unedited, which is breathtaking and has to admire Jackie Chan's fighting spirit, which has also become the main theme of Jackie Chan's movies later.

For the sake of the movie, challenge the limit, for this reason Jackie Chan will be injured in every movie, and he has been seriously injured many times, almost paralyzed to death, not to mention how the movie is, but Jackie Chan's fighting spirit is admirable, so Jackie Chan is not Chen Lang's favorite actor, but Chen Lang's most admired actor.

What's even more rare is that in addition to the amazing performance of this life-fighting performance, the film also continues the humorous fighting style, such as the classic bicycle street fight, Jackie Chan used a bicycle, a bamboo pole, a few windows, and a ladder to make a group of opponents turn people on their backs, full of jokes, addictive.

Coupled with the action star combination of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, the three brothers who were released on December 22 detonated the entire Hong Kong, and now exactly a week has passed, and the box office has reached an astonishing 8.56 million.

Now Golden Harvest's theaters are still full, and the influence of action superstars in Hong Kong will never go out of style, Hong Kong action movies have experienced the era of Wang Yu, the era of Bruce Lee, and the era of Jackie Chan is about to be ushered in.

Another film industry overlord in the top three, Xinyicheng, also released the classic feature film "Yin and Yang Wrong" on December 15, the lineup of this film can be described as strong, produced by Huang Baiming, directed by Lin Lingdong, written by Gao Zhisen, and starring Alan Tam.

With the strong rise of Xinyicheng, Huang Baiming and other seven-member groups have long been well-known to everyone, and film talents such as Lin Lingdong and Gao Zhisen are also famous.

Chen Lang had not seen this movie in his previous life, but he also knew that this was a good love and fantasy drama, and of course, what made Chen Lang care more was that "Yin and Yang Wrong" ranked in the top ten of the top ten box office lists in 1983, and it was a strong competitor.

In addition, there are also "A Date with a Beautiful Woman" starring Chen Xunqi and Zheng Zeshi in theaters, as well as "The Sequel to the Legend of the Ancient Times", as well as several movies that Chen Lang has no impression of at all.

Although "Happy Ghost" still achieved the tenth box office miracle of the year in the summer vacation of 1984 in the face of Mai Dangxiong's classic "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", but now "Happy Ghost" has to face strong competition from "Plan A" and "Yin and Yang Wrong", and "Happy Ghost", which did not even inform the audience of the release date, really worried Chen Lang.

On the other side, in the office of Shao Daheng of TVB, Wang Jing is trying his best to persuade him.

"Sixth uncle, you also know that because the schedule of "Happy Ghost" was uncertain before, even if Chen Lang has been promoting the movie, everyone does not know that "Happy Ghost" will be released today, and half of the investment in the film is also from Shaw Brothers Film Company, I guarantee that this movie will bring double the profit to Shaw Brothers."

Shao Tycoon seemed a little absent-minded at this time, because of the box office boom on the first day of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" and the contrast between the three days of painting, Shao Tycoon was in a mood of ups and downs.

Now that "Interstellar Blunt Tire" has been drawn, although Shao Tycoon is still a little unwilling and unwilling to give up his film kingdom that has become dilapidated, but in the face of Fang Yihua's persuasion and reality, the 76-year-old man has to make the decision to accelerate Shaw Brothers' production cuts and be ready to close down at any time.

It's just that the trace of nostalgia in his heart that is not completely desperate makes Shao Tycoon not immediately close the Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Wang Jing saw that Shao Daheng seemed to be a little distracted, so he had to shout, "Sixth uncle! Uncle Six! Did you hear what I said? ”

Shao Daheng was awakened and rubbed his eyebrows, closed his eyes and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

"Lang Lang and I edited a trailer for the movie, hoping that TVB can broadcast it around the clock and spread the news of the release of "Happy Ghost" today." Wang Jing immediately said when he heard this.

"Trailer? Is it similar to a movie trailer? Did that kid Lang Lang get it again? Shao Tycoon was stunned when he heard this, obviously it was the first time he had heard of the trailer.

"The trailer is indeed made by Lang Lang, which is very similar to the trailer, but it is different." Wang Jing said.

"yes, then take me to see this so-called trailer first, I want to see what this kid has come up with." After Shao Daheng finished speaking, he walked out of the office directly and walked towards the screening room.

Wang Jing had no choice but to follow behind with the trailer.

Twenty minutes later, the short five-minute trailer was over, and Wang Jing looked at the expressionless Shao tycoon with some nervousness.

After watching the trailer, Shao Daheng shook his head and muttered, "MV, trailer, this kid can really toss." ”

Wang Jing didn't hear Shao Tycoon's whisper, and when she saw Shao Tycoon shaking his head, his heart suddenly cooled.

"I agreed, and this trailer will be broadcast on TVB around the clock for three days, but the advertising fee cannot be less, and Shaw Brothers and Lang Lang still split the cost in half." Shao Daheng left after speaking.

Wang Jing jumped up happily when she heard this, and then immediately handed over Shao Daheng's words and the trailer to the TV station, and then called Chen Lang to tell the good news.

Chen Lang was also excited after hearing the good news, with TVB's super high ratings, I believe that the news can be quickly spread to many people.

At this time, Chen Jian also called the heads of various regions of Chen Lang's club to inform fans of the news that "Happy Ghost" will be released today, so that everyone can go into the cinema today to support their idols.

"Hey, Ah Ming, Lang Lang's movie "Happy Ghost" will be released today, you hurry up and inform the fans of your school to go to the theater tonight to support Lang Lang's first movie."

"Ah Hong, hurry up and tell everyone the news of the release of "Happy Ghost" today, and let's go to see Lang Lang's screen Virgo tonight."

……

Wang Yu is a movie fan, he likes to watch movies very much, often applauds the highlights in the movies, and his usual pocket money is also used to watch movies and subscribe to "Oriental Daily", reading Chen Lang's novels has become a part of almost every young person's life.

The Spring Festival file every year is not only a time for major film companies to grab money, but also the happiest time for fans, because during this period, major film companies will launch well-made movies, which makes fans excited.

Wang Yu is naturally no exception, he has already watched "Plan A" and "Yin and Yang Wrong" now, after all, the Spring Festival movies of Golden Harvest and New Art City are definitely not to be missed, and the movie is really great, it is definitely worth the ticket price, of course, Wang Yu prefers "Plan A".

Wang Yu also watched a few other movies, but it didn't feel very good, and now Wang Yu is looking forward to Chen Lang's first movie "Happy Ghost".

Although Chen Lang is a newcomer in the film industry, his acting skills are debatable, but Wang Yu, like many people, is very confident in Chen Lang's ability to make up stories, and the movie "Happy Ghost" should be a good movie.

It's just that Chen Lang didn't know what the reason was when he was promoting the movie, that is, he didn't disclose the release time of the movie, which made Wang Yu and many people puzzled.

After Wang Yu finished watching "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" serialized in "Oriental Daily", he turned to other pages with some boredom, and saw on the headline of "Oriental Daily" that "Little talent Lang Lang Virgo "Happy Ghost" has been officially released today! ”

"What? Why wasn't there any news before? Wang Yu was very surprised, the release date was not disclosed when it was advertised before, but now the newspaper suddenly said that it has been released, what the hell is this?

Although Wang Yu didn't understand Chen Lang's fucking behavior, he still called his friend and made an appointment to go to the cinema tonight to watch the long-awaited "Happy Ghost".

Because it is now the Christmas holiday, there are not many students like Wang Yu who noticed the official release of "Happy Ghost", because everyone went out to play, and as for the novel, it is normal to read it a day or two late, so when Wang Yu and his party came to the cinema to buy tickets and enter the theater in the evening, they found that the attendance rate was less than forty percent.

You must know that now is the period when Hong Kong movies are popular, and even bad movies can reach about 30% of the attendance.

"How did Lang Lang do it, the movie has not revealed the release date, and now it is a raid, I estimate that there are absolutely very few people who know that "Happy Ghost" will be released, otherwise with Lang Lang's appeal, the attendance rate will definitely not be so miserable!"

"Is Lang Lang too confident and messed up?"

"Who knows."

Chen Lang, who was sitting in the front row of Wang Yu's four people, smiled bitterly when he heard the discussion, this release date was not set by himself, and I was also very sad.

Fortunately, Chen Jian helped contact fans to cheer, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no attendance rate of 30%.

When Chen Lang was still shaking his head and smiling bitterly, the lights in the movie theater dimmed, and the movie officially began.
