As in many years, many major events have taken place in Hong Kong in '85, from the death of the first AIDS patient in February to the signing of the bill for the return of Hong Kong by the Queen of England in April.

In the entertainment industry, a lot of big and small things have also happened, but whether it is Taiwanese director Hou Xiaoxian who won the best director at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival in June, or Li Meifeng, who attempted suicide by turning on the gas in May and won the Miss Asia championship, or "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" won the highest award in Berlin to break the record, its influence is not as good as Zhong Chuhong.

Even as the most powerful gold medal producer in Hong Kong, Mo Fei, who is the most powerful figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, won the Berlin Golden Bear, how many scandals were spread, and played an unprecedented sand painting performance at the finals of "Miss Asia", it couldn't stop Honggu's light from blooming.

Weng Meiling's fame was already much worse than Honggu, and now she has withdrawn from the entertainment industry, although she has entered the clothing company under Phoenix Culture, it will not bring much improvement, and she needs to return from her studies before she can operate further.

Hou Xiaoxian is a Taiwanese director, and it doesn't matter much if he wins or not, and the Asia-Pacific Film Festival is even more of a chicken award. Although the award is also a feature film, in the eyes of Hong Kong audiences, "Dongdong's Holiday" still has a lot of gaps compared with "Taiping Mountain" or "Angel of the Poles".

Although his sand painting performances have been reported by many media, ordinary citizens prefer to see his scandals, and this kind of artistic thing is not very attractive.

The judge of the beauty pageant of "Miss Asia", the first actor in Hong Kong to get a salary of 15 million, the first actor who has great box office appeal in Europe, America, Australia, Southeast Asia, South Korea and other places, is almost the best goddess recognized by all audiences, this is the impression that Zhong Chuhong brought to the audience and fans in 85 years.

starred in three movies in a row, "Pretty Woman", "Angel of the Two Poles", and "Taiping Mountain", which won a very high box office in Hong Kong, where feature films are not very marketable, and really gave feature films and literary films a big name.

Especially "Taiping Mountain", under the continuous advocacy of the media and film critics, as well as almost unanimous praise, many audiences bought tickets to enter the cinema again and again in order to be able to experience the warmth in the film, find the things described by the film critics.

According to a survey of "Film Fortnightly", at least more than 200,000 viewers have watched the film more than three times, and more than half of this number has been seen more than five times, and there is no way to count the audience who have watched it twice.

Although none of the reporters and investigators of "Film Fortnightly" asked about it one by one, such statistics are not nonsense, but have been really investigated.

Since the third day of the movie's release, "Taiping Mountain" has become popular, almost full, and some viewers have begun to buy movie tickets for three consecutive shows.

The reporters in charge of the investigation stayed at the doors of many theaters for a month, interviewed an unknown number of audiences, and finally came up with a rough figure, and then cut a third of this data and took a relatively conservative number.

In fact, this data is what magazines like "Bi-weekly" will do, they have to do a lot of detailed statistical work, and others only need to look at the box office to know how great this film is.

One month after its release, the box office of "Taiping Shan" had successfully broken the record of 68 million for Hong Kong films set by the Chinese New Year film "Party A and Party B". Based on the average ticket price of 17 yuan, the number of moviegoers will exceed 4 million, and there are only about 5 million people in Hong Kong, excluding children and the elderly, how can they all go to see this movie, there must be a lot of repeat watching, but ordinary people are not interested in statistics.

Golden Princess and Golden Harvest now have almost 30 theaters each, and nearly 60 theaters in the two have played 4,000 shows of "Taiping Mountain" in this month, with an average of 1,000 moviegoers per game, and an average of 2.4 shows per day in each theater, and in the first two weeks, some theaters even played the film around the clock.

In North America, the world's largest movie box office market, "Taiping Shan" has also reached $95 million at the box office, ranking third in the box office list before "Out of Africa", which has the highest demand for Oscars next year, and "First Blood 2" released earlier and "Back to the Future", which was released almost at the same time.

At the premiere of "Die Hard", some reporters asked Honggu and Mo Fei what they thought of this film, whether they had any hope of breaking through the $100 million box office again after "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and even striving for the position of the annual champion of the North American box office.

For this kind of brain-dead question, Honggu just smiled and didn't answer, asking Mo Fei to deal with this kind of brain-hurting question. But Mo Fei is also reluctant to answer, the box office of "First Blood 2" is as high as 150 million, and the box office of "Back to the Future" will exceed 200 million US dollars, what will "Taiping Mountain" take to surpass, if it weren't for the expression on this guy's face that is too serious, he would have thought that he was here to block people.

Nowadays, Zhong Chuhong is not only synonymous with high box office, but also a symbol of good movies.

With Honggu's appearance, "Die Hard" is also a posture with strong potential, coupled with the news of the Singapore bombing of buildings that Mo Fei has deliberately hyped, it makes people want to go into the cinema to see what this movie that woke up one-third of Singapore's population looks like, and what kind of role Honggu plays in it.

The release of "Die Hard" in Hong Kong was an accident in the plan. Originally, this kind of film mainly shot by American companies was to be counted as Western films, but according to the consistent practice of Hong Kong cinemas, Western films are basically not allowed to be shown in major theaters, and almost all of them are done in theaters that specialize in Western films, such as Broadway theaters that have not yet become large.

But the box office attraction of the two cinema chains produced by Phoenix Culture, produced and screenwritten by Mo Fei, and starring Zhong Chuhong is too strong, and the two cinema chains Golden Princess, Golden Harvest, and UA, which has just signed an agreement, have long ignored the question of what Western films are not Western films, as long as Hong Kong's Phoenix Culture participates in the production, it must be treated as Hong Kong films, and the Phoenix Culture in the United States is not Mo Fei's company, but it's just a different shell, and the crust inside is still made in Hong Kong.

Princess Jin and Golden Harvest are so open-minded, "Die Hard" did not disappoint the two families, and after "Taiping Mountain", the first box office of more than 2 million was won again, although it is much worse than "Taiping Mountain", but this momentum is also quite good.

After the premiere, Honggu went to the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" again, but she had to stay to deal with some company affairs before she could go to Yanjing to meet Honggu, and then the two had other things to do.

Although the premiere and promotion of "Die Hard" in the United States were handled by Wu Yusen with Willis and other crew members, it is impossible for Honggu not to show up all the time, so she has to go to the United States to buy a few more adaptation rights, and by the way, sign a singer as a guest at the New Year's Eve party.

As soon as she arrived at the company the morning of the second day after sending Honggu away, Mo Fei was reminded by Yi Nan that she would attend the concert invited by He Chaoqiong in the evening, and most of her good mood in the morning was ruined.

So a thin invitation, although the quality is quite good, but the price is even more amazing. Those who don't get 180,000 on such a trip are embarrassed to talk to others, and they will be laughed at by the people in the same audience in the future; Not to mention the invitation sent by Miss He personally, the seat is still in the best position, and the money cannot be less.

After the company finished work in the afternoon, Mo Fei went to eat something, and then arrived at the Lee stage more than ten minutes before the concert started. He didn't want to have too much to do with He Chaoqiong, that woman was the daughter of the gambling king, and the gambling king was with Wei Yifu.

But what he didn't expect was that when his car arrived at the Li stage, He Chaoqiong was waiting outside the theater, this should be waiting for him, and it seems that he has been waiting for a while, which is not a good phenomenon.

Seeing Mo Fei's big white iron box with the surname coming over, He Chaoqiong subconsciously looked at what was wrong with her dress, and after making sure that there was no problem, she raised her head and stood there with a smile at Mo Fei, who had just gotten off the car.

He Chaoqiong was waiting for Mo Fei, but Mo Fei's performance made her a little annoyed, this guy didn't say anything about being late, and when she got out of the car, she didn't seem to see a beautiful woman standing in front of the theater, but began to look at this theater.

How did she know, when she saw this theater, she remembered her theater plan, and silently sighed that this theater could not be accepted into her hands.

Lee Theatre is the private property of the Lee family, a wealthy family in Hong Kong, not only this Lee Theatre, but also Leighton Centre and One Hysan Road on both sides, as well as several streets in the entire Lee Garden Hill. And this theater is just built by Li Xishen, the wealthy founder of the Li family, in order to facilitate the viewing of the play.

With such a good location and such a theater, it must be impossible to get it, what a pity. But this kind of idea is just a moment, how could you not know that the Li family is so rich, they will never sell such a good land in their hands, they will wait until the nineties to rebuild the Li Stage Square here.

After a short sigh, Mo Fei walked towards the door of the theater, and when he approached He Chaoqiong within five meters, he seemed to have just reacted, and asked, "Why didn't Miss He go in, are you waiting for someone?" ”

He Chaoqiong was almost made to vomit blood by Mo Fei's words, Miss Ben stood here and waited for you for nearly half an hour, just waiting for you to say such a sentence, at this time she really wanted to ask Mo Fei regardless of her image: Are you a human being? (To be continued.) )
