"Bloody Lonely City" and "Fourteen Heroines" have been released in Hong Kong for a week, and the anger between the two films can now be seen even by a blind person. At this time, reporters from various newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong gathered behind the door of the hotel where Shaw Brothers and Wang Zijun were staying all day long, ready to ask for the latest inside story.

After the initial popularity, the popularity of "Fourteen Heroes" has decreased a little, but it still maintains an attendance rate of 84%. However, "Bloody Lonely City" has risen steadily, with an attendance rate of 75%. The weekly box office of "Fourteen Heroes" was 780,000 Hong Kong dollars, while "Bloody Lonely City" was only 550,000 yuan. On the surface, Wang Zijun lost badly.

It's just that Run Run Shaw has a sad face at this time, although "Fourteen Heroines" has achieved good results, but the lack of stamina has begun to appear. The first three days of the film's release were as full as Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen" at the beginning of the year, but "Jingwumen" didn't start to decline significantly until two weeks later, while "Fourteen Heroes" only lasted for a week.

The reason for this is because of the film itself - no matter how loud the Shaw Brothers sign, no matter how much you invest, how big the scene is, no matter how many stars you gather, the audience is most concerned about the plot of the film.

What does "Fourteen Heroes" say? Decent!

The old-fashioned folk romance routine, and the ending is an unexpectedly consummation, the audience came in to watch the movie with great hopes, but after watching it, they only remember the stars and a few "magnificent" scenes. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and gradually I lost my mind.

"Fourteen Heroes" caused a huge social sensation in the original history, but that was because of its star-studded star and unprecedented large investment. But its final box office in Hong Kong is only 2.56 million, and even Li Hanxiang's "The Great Warlord" is more than it, which is still a big step away from its investment of 4 million. If it weren't for the box office support of Taiwan and Southeast Asia, I am afraid that I would not even be able to recover the capital.

On the contrary, the box office of "Bloody Lonely City" has increased step by step, and now the streets and alleys are talking about the battlefield love between Feng Baohua and Wanqing. After learning that this is an adaptation of a real person, many celebrities praised Wanqing as a strange Chinese woman, and Wanqing's actor Zhao Yazhi also became well-known to everyone. Zhao Yazhi's neighbors and classmates recognized her, and they were all surprised, they didn't expect Zhao Yazhi to be so beautiful in a cheongsam.

After some media knew that Zhao Yazhi was a native of Hong Kong, they shifted the focus of the report to her, and suddenly, Zhao Yazhi actually stood out in this box office battle and became a well-known star.

Run Run Shaw called Li Hanxiang and asked, "Hanxiang, how is "The Great Warlord" doing?" ”

Li Hanxiang was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and his face was still a little tired, and he replied: "The dubbing is almost complete." ”

Run Run Shaw tapped his fingers on the table and said, "The release time is a month in advance, and within half a month, I want to see the finished film." ”

"In such a hurry?" Li Hanxiang exclaimed, "But what about "Fourteen Heroes"? ”

"Almost." Run Run Shaw said, ""Fourteen Heroines" can last for half a month at most. Hey, I shouldn't have agreed to make this big production in the first place, and now it's hard to ride a tiger. ”

Li Hanxiang is not a fool, and naturally understands that Run Run Shaw wants to use "The Great Warlord" and "Fourteen Heroines" to join forces to snipe Wang Zijun.

Li Hanxiang reminded: "Boss Shao, "Bloody Lonely City" is a propaganda film ordered by the Taiwan authorities to promote, if we go too far, I'm afraid the impact will not be good." ”

"It's fine." Run Run Shaw understood what he meant, Li Hanxiang was afraid that the Taiwan authorities would be angry because of this, and banned Shaw Brothers movies, so the loss would be great. He shook his head and said, "As long as you don't find out, it's a business matter, and there's no reason to mess around." I didn't fight Wang Zijun, but Zou Wenhuai, the anti-bone boy! ”

"Okay, I promise to do it in half a month." After Li Hanxiang finished speaking, he glanced at Run Run Shaw and left. For Run Run Shaw, Li Hanxiang actually has mixed emotions, friends, bosses, and rivals...... He had been in Taiwan for nearly a decade before, and he was almost the movie emperor there, but he miscalculated, and as a result, he could only run back to Hong Kong in embarrassment, work under Run Run Shaw, and make some commercial films that he didn't want to make.

Li Hanxiang was very distressed and helpless, and he was somewhat disdainful of Run Run Shaw, such as the calculation of Wang Zijun this time. Business wars are business wars, but personal attacks are a bit too much.

The box office competition between the Shaw Brothers and the Wang Brothers is in full swing, and the newspapers on both sides are also disrupting the battle. At the beginning, several newspapers that were friends with the Shaw Brothers joined forces with "Yanbao" to deal with several newspapers in the 14K and Xinyi'an territory that Wang Zijun had bought, while "Ming Pao" and others were in the middle of the persuasion and scolding "Yanbao" by the way.

At some point, Wen Wei Po, Ta Kung Pao, and Xin Wan Pao, three pro-communist newspapers, suddenly changed the direction of neutrality and wantonly satirized the Taiwan political axe behind Wang. Obviously, the mainland seized the opportunity and ordered to take public opinion measures.

As soon as these three newspapers spoke, the three pro-national newspapers, "Sing Tao Bao", "Overseas Chinese Bao", and "Gongshang Bao", could not sit idle and joined the debate. Later, these six newspapers threw away all the Shaw Brothers, Wang's, "Yan Bao", and movies, and began to scold each other in a shrewd manner. What novels, essays, comics, poems...... All kinds of themes take turns to fight, three vs three team attacks, there are MT, there are DPS, and there are doctors who are responsible for adding blood, you lose me, I hang him up, quote scriptures, and bombard. The Hong Kong citizens are dazzled and shouted!

At present, in addition to watching TV dramas on the radio station, Hong Kong people also have an entertainment program every day, that is, flipping through newspapers, and even some tea restaurants have specially hired people to be responsible for reading newspapers to see who is scolding happily today.

…… Chen Hong is the editor-in-chief of Yanbao, and he has recently made a good living by reporting on Wang Zijun's negative news.

It's funny to think about that lawyer today, and he's a famous barrister, and it's not that he can't do anything about me. I didn't say who was reporting in my article? Those things that were done were all "supposedly" and "maybe", which was also interviewed by the reporter of our newspaper, and it has nothing to do with us whether it is accurate or not, is there a definite word in the article? No!

You can't sue me for eight lifetimes, but it has made me famous.

Do you think you're above you? The shareholders behind "Yanbao" are not joking.

Chen Hong drove the somewhat old car that the boss gave him today, humming a little tune home, thinking about how to go back and show off to his wife - we also have a private car!

Suddenly, a man appeared in the middle of the road ahead, blocking his way.

Chen Hong stopped and scolded: "Hit the street, get out of here!" Or I'll kill you! ”

The man didn't move, but asked, "Are you Chen Hong, the editor-in-chief of Yanbao?" ”

"Who are you?" Chen Hong was vigilant, but then he was relieved, he was in a hot trouble with Wang Zijun now, and the other party would not be stupid enough to hack him at this time, it was purely asking for trouble.

"I have evidence of Wang Zijun's blackmail and murder, and I want to hand it over to Chen Hong of "Yanbao". The man said.

Chen Hong was overjoyed, and it turned out to be Wang Zijun's enemy. He opened the car door and got out of the car, and said, "I am Chen Hong, leave it to me......"

"Bang bang bang ......" Before he could finish speaking, the man took out his pistol and fired six shots in a row, confirming that Chen Hong was dead, and then left calmly.

...... "Glasses Week, what did the newspapers say today?" A refreshment guest asked the newspaper reader.

Glasses Zhou picked up the newspaper he had just arrived and read: "Yan Bao was convicted for his words, and the editor-in-chief was assassinated last night!" At 12 o'clock last night, the family of Chen, the editor-in-chief of Yanbao, found Chen's body near his residence, and he was shot six times and died on the spot. At present, the police have launched an investigation into the matter......"

"Dead? Fuck, publicly assassinate the editor-in-chief, this Wang Zijun is too arrogant. ”

"Hehe, I knew that the editor-in-chief of "Yanbao" would die a miserable death, what to report indiscriminately? It's purely full of food. ”

...... "What? The editor-in-chief of "Speech" is dead? When Run Run Shaw heard the news, he was first shocked, then delighted, patted his thigh lightly with his palm, and said calmly, "God help me!" ”

Fang Yihua nodded and said, "Yes, I was shot six times last night." Listen to the police, it should be done by a professional killer. ”

Run Run Shaw nodded and said, "Yes, I see." Yihua, you go out first. ”

Fang Yihua left the newspaper and turned around to close the door.

Run Run Shaw picked up the phone: "...... Well, yes, I must give an explanation to the deceased, Hong Kong is a legal society with freedom of speech......"

...... "Chen Hong is dead?" Chen Hong's death is my business, I don't know who he is. Wang Zijun said angrily in the face of several policemen.

One of the policemen said: "Mr. Wang, Chen Hong is the editor-in-chief of Yanbao. Rest assured, we just ask you to go back and assist in the investigation and make a transcript. ”

"Editor-in-chief of Speech?" Wang Zijun was a little confused, he just asked the lawyer to sue the other party's newspaper, and he didn't ask anyone to kill him.

Wang Zijun eased his mind and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me, so I can't go with you, if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask here." ”

The policeman was not a servant of the people, but he was taking some people's money. However, as police officers, they still remember the incident of 14K and Xin Yi'an teaming up to help Wang Zijun find someone that night, so they didn't dare to be rude, so they had to ask: "Mr. Wang, may I ask where you were, with whom, and what you did between 11:30 and 12 o'clock last night?" ”

"I'm writing the script in my house." Wang Zijun said.

"Who can help you testify?" The policeman asked.

"Me!" A female voice came.

A few policemen turned their heads to look at each other, with a smile on their faces, and the leader said, "It turned out to be Miss Deng." My wife loves you singing a lot, can you sign it for me? ”

After saying that, the policeman took the transcript and handed it over.

Wang Zijun was speechless.

After Teresa Teng signed her name, she said: "I can prove that Mr. Wang was in the house all night, and I was afraid that he would stay up too late last night, and I brought him coffee." ”

"Since there is Miss Deng to testify, then there is no problem." The policeman gave an irregular salute and led the man away.

After a few policemen went out, they began to discuss, and some people envied: "This Wang Zijun is really majestic, he has nothing to say about killing, and there are even beautiful singers who help him exonerate." ”

"Hehe, I see, this Miss Deng must have a leg with him."

"Needless to say? I didn't see them all living together, and I delivered coffee in the evening. Damn, if Teresa Teng let me sleep one night, I can live a few years less! ”

"You just dream, it's good if you can sleep until Xiaohong tonight."

"Sleep little red? That's the captain's woman, is it good, don't dare to borrow ten guts from me. ”

Wang Zijun patted his forehead, fell on the sofa and wailed: "I'm going to go, who the is sick and does it indiscriminately!" Lao Tzu's plan has just begun, and now it is all ruined! ”

"Are you alright?" Teresa Teng asked with concern.

"It's fine." Wang Zijun shook his head and said.

Teresa Teng thought for a while and said: "If you are not happy in your heart, then you don't have to go to tomorrow's singer club." ”

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "I said it's okay, and I will definitely attend on time when the time comes." I'll take a break. ”

Teresa Teng said: "Okay, then I'll go out first." ”

"Goodbye." Wang Zijun watched Teresa Teng close the door, and then suddenly dialed Chen Kehua's phone: "Hey, Mr. Chen, that Chen Hong is dead, you know about it, right?" ”

Chen Kehua smiled on the phone: "I know, this person is too long, and no one can save him." ”

"What did your men do?" Wang Zijun's tone was a little displeased.

"Sort of." Chen Kehua said, "But those people are not under my control, they are directly under the Taiwan Intelligence Bureau." Wang Zijun said angrily: "Why do you want to kill? ”

"Do you remember that article the other day?" Chen Kehua said, "The singer surnamed Wang colluded with corrupt officials, who is this corrupt official? Isn't this an insinuation that Dean Jiang is? ”

"Oh, thank you." Wang Zijun let out a sigh and hung up the phone, cursing in his heart those damn intelligence officers, they killed people, and now they have to carry the black pot.

Damn, it's yellow mud off the crotch now, it's not and it's. Do these intelligence officers have straw in their heads? Specifically run out to make trouble.

Wang Zijun was sure that Chiang Ching-kuo absolutely did not know about this incident, and most of it was done by officials from Taiwan's intelligence bureau.

It's not once or twice that these guys have done this kind of thing, the assassination of Yu Chengwan was one time, and the later Jiangnan case even stabbed the United States, causing Chiang Ching-kuo to come out and announce that his son would no longer succeed to the presidency.

…… That night, some people who claimed to be Chen Hong's family and friends wept in linen and filial piety at the entrance of various theaters, demanding that the authorities severely punish the murderer. This action made all the people who were going to buy tickets stop and gather around the door of the theater to watch the excitement.

The managers of each theater hurriedly called the police, but the police were struggling, and two or three people came for most of the day, and Nima was drunk.

When Wang Zijun received the call, his lungs were about to explode, and he gritted his teeth and called Xiang Huayan: "Hey, Mr. Xiang?" I want to ask Mr. Lu Lelu out for a light meal, I wonder when he will be free? ”
