At a time when many Hong Kong filmmakers don't understand how this small investment without stars can affect the taste of Hong Kong people, the box office of "Those Years" has surpassed "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", "Truant Dragon", "Thunderbolt", "God of Gamblers 2", "Drunken Fist 2" These glorious classics of Hong Kong movies.

The only Chinese films in front of him are Chen Long's "Red Fan District" and Zhou Xingxing's "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu", which are just three films...... Think about it, "Those Years" was only released for three weeks, and it is only one step away from the box office result of "Kung Fu" of 61.29 million, that is to say, it is almost destined to become the overlord of Chinese films in the Hong Kong film industry.

"Although this is a Taiwanese movie, everyone who has a student time will resonate because of this movie, youth has no geographical boundaries~" Ho Junhui, director of the Hong Kong Film Critics Association, commented.

"How long has it been since I've seen such a surprise movie in Hong Kong cinemas? A film that is so fresh and makes people feel infinitely beautiful, "Those Years" can make people go back to the past, and Happy・li has a rare sincerity among Chinese directors. "Ming Pao" reporter Shi Qi described in his article

"After watching "Those Years", Hong Kong filmmakers should also be conscious, don't always look for themes in the past glory, innovative genres have a way out." "Wen Wei Po" reporter Zhou Wenzhi compared the taste of judgment.

And the 31-year-old famous film critic and American Jew who loves Chinese films, Paul, who has lived in Beijing and Hong Kong for many years, commented in the South China Morning Post:

"I am very surprised that in the Hong Kong film industry, which has always been rampant with commercial films, "Those Years", a youth film that does not conform to the logic of commercial films at all, can be so popular, and the smell of Hong Kong's decadent money is blown by this breeze, which seems much gentler."

"Dear friends, hello, I'm Li Xiaole, Happy Boy."

Hong Kong's movie fans are so enthusiastic, Li Xiaole will naturally not disappoint them, including this "tour to answer the Xie Qinggong banquet" event interview.

His working principle is to participate in meaningful activities for the promotion of the film, but time should never be wasted on celebrity parties, celebrity parties, and other things, he came to Hong Kong not to join in the excitement, but for his fans, so program interviews are naturally inevitable, and to find the most popular and popular programs, I first made a TVB entertainment interview when I got off the plane and returned to the hotel today.

"Ahhh The girls and grandmothers from all over the family hurriedly picked up the remote control and turned up the volume.

Boys' fans are also very interested, and a young and beautiful high school girl is excited: "Brother Happy can speak in the vernacular!" The sweater's mother next to her said disapprovingly: "It's not good to say it at all, it must have just been learned, so I lied to you little girls, I think Xie Xian was much more handsome than him back then, and we weren't as crazy as you." ”

The daughter immediately refuted: "Mom, do you have any vision~ He is so handsome, I am willing to be deceived by him~ Don't talk about Xie Xian?" It's just that Nicholas Tse and Louis Koo are not as handsome as him, and he is so talented~ The money he made from scratch is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars......! ”

Seeing Li Xiaole, the public lover of a Hong Kong woman, TVB Jade Channel interviewed reporter Zhang Meini hoping to drive the anger of fans and raise her emotions She spoke to the TVB station logo microphone in her hand, and her voice was quite excited:

"So excited, so excited! What to do! Happy brother is right next to me! Li Xiaole glanced at her with a forced smile, thinking that the female reporter was too exaggerated, and the saliva sprayed on her clothes, and she was embarrassed to say it directly, so she could only take out a tissue and wipe it on Zhang Meini's body, and hinted with a smile:

"I'm sorry, Cantonese is not good, just now a nervous saliva squirted out and stained your clothes."

"Wow~~Happy, what a gentleman~~" Zhang Meini looked intoxicated.

The female audience in front of the screen also sent a burst of nymphomania, "So nice, so gentle and considerate!" "A young and beautiful woman is holding a pillow with her hair, she just follows the trend and likes this little handsome director, and now I really feel that his charm can penetrate every woman's heart, it's really handsome~ Such a talented handsome guy is still so kind and approachable, she really likes Happy is getting more and more serious......

When a person who likes Chongxing reaches a certain level, how to see how to like it, and will fantasize about becoming his friend, lover, and public lover, especially if Zhang Meini is a reporter who doesn't ask about movies, not for professionalism, the first question is to ask Jiaoxiao and ask: "Brother Happy, I want to ask you on behalf of the majority of female fans, please answer seriously, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

"No~" Li Xiaole didn't expect it, but secretly drew a circle under his feet, meaning that this didn't count.

"What do you think of our Hong Kong girls?" Zhang Meini chased after the aisle.

"It's all beautiful, it's welcoming, and I love it." Li Xiaole was asked this question, and they all had the same answer, but after speaking, he still emphasized: "But I heard someone call me 'Oba' when I picked up the plane...... I want to explain that I'm Chinese, it's better to call me Xiaole, Director Li, of course, Happy is barely okay, 'Oba' is really inappropriate......"

Listening to Li Xiaole constantly emphasize that he is Chinese, Hong Kong female fans are more and more appreciative of him, those young stars in Hong Kong hate others to call him his Chinese name, think it is very earthy, but this talented director likes to listen to others call him "Xiaole", regardless of whether he is polite or not, anyway, let everyone feel that he is particularly natural, Zhang Meini finally showed an appreciative look and began to ask some questions about the movie:

"Congratulations to "Those Years" is very promising to become the Chinese box office champion in Hong Kong film history, I would like to ask Director Li, there are many Hong Kong education experts who say that young people watching this movie is a waste of time, a documentary that is completely disease-free and moaning, and they can't learn anything, Hong Kong people should support Hong Kong people's own movies more, in this regard, Brother Happy, what do you want to say to them?"

"We really appreciate everyone's love and support for "Those"~" Li Xiaole calmly pouted into the microphone and said:

"Everyone has the right to express their opinions when the movie comes out, from a certain point of view, this movie is really boring, since everyone likes to watch it, it also proves that just like Ke Jingteng's line, there are many things in life that are in vain, and you don't necessarily have to learn anything, I think time should be wasted on beautiful things, Chen Long, Zhou Xingxing and my movies should be regarded as beautiful things that can't learn anything...... haha~ Just kidding, fans of big brother and star master, please don't scold me,"

Seeing him shrug his shoulders and smile self-deprecatingly, Zhang Meini and the audience at this time laughed, and the audience admired Li Xiaole's eloquence and wit in their hearts, the reporter obviously wanted to provoke his desire to fight, but he lightly praised the pride of Hong Kong filmmakers Chen Long and Zhou Xingxing, which made Hong Kong people who saw this scene in front of the movie screen have a deeper impression of him.

I have to say that the whole of Hong Kong is now in the whirlwind of Li Xiaole, and Li Xiaole can hear screams and exclamations one after another on various occasions.

"Happy boy!!" "It's really him!! Happy brother!! ", "Li Xiaole!! ”……

At the same time, in Taiwan, the craze caused by Li Xiaole is no less than that of Hong Kong, and the Taiwan News Administration and Information Bureau, which invested in "Those Years" and "Haijiao No. 7", is completely caught in a carnival atmosphere, and those industry analysts invited by the United States have all fallen through the glasses, what Taiwanese films have fallen into a trough, and what Taiwanese films are on the verge of bankruptcy, Li Xiaole has created a box office report card of nearly 2 billion yuan in just one year after he landed in Taiwan...... You must know that the total box office of Taiwanese films in the whole of last year was only 1.98 billion......

Li Xiaole alone has subverted the foundation of all Hollywood companies operating in Taiwan for more than ten years.

Wilson Dawson, president of Warner Vision's Greater China region, described in his year-end report to Time Warner:

"2005 was a disaster year for us in the Greater China region, all the films promoted by our company did not meet expectations, the main reason is the strong rise of mainland and Taiwanese films, and all these factors are due to a director, Li Xiaole, it took us more than ten years to beat the local films in Taiwan, the mainland, and establish an absolute advantage in their market, but he only made the balance return to the state of ten years ago, China Film Group, And the Taiwan Information Bureau and Li Xiaole are simply a terrible disaster......"

The Administrative Information Bureau, which was criticized by the Taiwan media a year ago as "mediocre and incompetent," is now the most "eye-catching" investment company in Taiwan, and even the Liberty Daily, which has never given the government a good look, has called it a "business miracle"; It has made a great contribution to the overall recovery of Taiwanese films.

The cultural leaders of the New Wave, who had been criticizing the Administrative Information Bureau, did not intend to make the Information Bureau any better, saying in the media:

""Those Years" and "Haijiao No. 7" are both products of the cooperation between the Information Bureau and the mainland government, the purpose is to use mainland culture to erode our film market~ It is not a Taiwanese movie at all, if you love Taiwan, please don't buy tickets to watch this movie in the cinema."

In fact, everyone understands that these so-called cultural leaders of the new wave just say that grapes are sour because they can't eat grapes, and the fact is that because the Information Bureau gave the film subsidy to Li Xiaole and Wei Desheng, and there are no dry meals for these gangs, so Taiwanese films are flourishing this year.

And because of the disgust of firing in the media, several cultural leaders who have columns in the traditional media have been swept away, including Wang Qun, as Li Xiaole's sworn enemy, he spared no effort to discredit the cooperation between the Information Bureau and Li Xiaole, and finally became a laughing stock, and the editors-in-chief also used him as a punching bag in anger and fired his squid.

A month after the screening, with the return of the cinema chain, China Film Group and the Information Bureau began to get a share of the box office......
