Updated in time, Lin Youlun accompanied Shao Yifu into the box on the second floor, and when the film was about to start, Cen Jianxun suddenly came in in a hurry.

Seeing that Cen Jianxun's eyes flickered and seemed to have something to say, Lin Youlun had no choice but to confess to Shao Yifu and walked out of the box with Cen Jianxun.

"Someone saw Zeng Zhiwei and Yu Rentai below, they came in with the audience with their tickets, and their subordinates didn't stop them." Cen Jianxun switched from Debao to Jiayi, and he will inevitably bear the brand of Debao's old ministers, in order to avoid suspicion, his position and attitude on matters involving Debao have always been very clear.

Yu Rentai is the director under Pan Disheng, and Zeng Zhiwei's good friend Film Company has a cooperative relationship with Xinbao Cinema Line, and these two people appeared at the premiere of "Journey to the West", the purpose of which is definitely not just to watch a movie.

"Buy a ticket to enter the stadium is our audience, as long as you don't make trouble, you don't care." Lin Youlun's eyes were calm like a pool of clear water, without the slightest wave.

Cen Jianxun thought that the two of them were here to inquire about the situation, and it was unlikely that they would make trouble, so he didn't say anything more.

The movie has begun, and the audience is focused on the big screen, and no one recognizes Zeng Zhiwei and Yu Rentai.

"When we came in, the people in the theater should have recognized us." Yu Rentai said in a low voice.

"We sell tickets to come in, can they still come and chase us away?" Zeng Zhiwei pursed his lips, "We are like a great enemy, and people may not take us seriously at all." ”

Zeng Zhiwei's words are not self-deprecating, this is the case. Hearing that Jiayi's release of this new film was produced by Lin Youlun, Pan Disheng was immediately nervous. I had to let the two of them come over and find out what was going on.

It's one thing to be against Lin Youlun, it's another thing to be able to be treated as an opponent by Lin Youlun, judging from Pan Disheng's reaction, he himself has no confidence to become Lin Youlun's opponent.

The logo of Jiayi Cinema Line flashed on the screen, the opening credits, the list of main creators and anything have not yet come out, and Sun Wukong and Guanyin fought together at the beginning, and this fight scene incorporated a lot of special effects and techniques. The visual effects are more shocking than the sensational "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" 3 years ago, but the images of the rebellious Wukong and the talkative Tang Seng are too alternative, and the audience is a little uncomfortable for a while.

"You want it! Goku. If you want it, you can speak, if you don't say you want it, how do you know that you really want it? Although you look at me with sincerity, you still have to tell me what you want. It's impossible for you to say that you want me not to give it to you, you say you don't want me to give it to you, everyone has to be reasonable! Do you really want it? Then you can take it, you don't really want it, do you? Do you really want to? ”

Tang Seng's language in the film seems to be extremely verbose, Liu Zhenwei originally wanted to use this kind of long-winded character language to highlight the effect of comedy, but these words have no substantive effect on the advancement of the plot, which is really difficult to accept for audiences who are used to watching comedies that can laugh without thinking about it.

Most of the funny in "Journey to the West" focuses on the lines, if you don't watch the movie carefully and don't listen to the lines carefully, you won't feel where the film is funny, and the "laughing fruit" in the film screening is not as good as Liu Zhenwei expected. Some viewers laughed, but the people around them didn't laugh, and the people who laughed seemed to be neurotic, and slowly, even those who could understand the film were embarrassed to laugh anymore. It's obviously a comedy, but the atmosphere in the theater is getting more and more weird and dull.

"What kind of plane, so much nonsense!"

"It's also a comedy, and this beginning is not funny at all!"

The whispers of the surrounding audience reached Zhou Xingchi's ears, as uncomfortable as a knife prick, and he looked at Liu Zhenwei. The look of disappointment was extreme.

Zhou Xingchi's cold attitude was like pouring a basin of cold water on Liu Zhenwei's head, Liu Zhenwei felt that his whole body was as cold as ice, he originally wanted to explain two sentences, but the audience's reaction was too far from what he imagined, his lips trembled, and finally he didn't say anything. …,

The protagonist of the movie shifted from Sun Wukong to Supreme Treasure, and the situation was only slightly better, at least everyone saw the familiar Zhou Xingchi again, instead of the strange monkey face.

What really made the audience's eyes shine was Zhang Manyu, with a smile and a charming style between the eye waves, which suddenly made the role of Chun Thirty Niang deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Wang Guxian, who appeared later, was not to be outdone, dressed in white with resentment and sorrow, the wind blew the green silk, the clothes fluttered, and the heart-warming eyes released a faint murderous intention, but the white bone spirit made her act well.

The performances of the two girls in the play are too amazing, the light has overshadowed Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, the audience is attracted by the two of them, and they don't care about the plot even more, and many funny plots are ignored like this.

For a long time, Liu Zhenwei didn't dare to look at the reaction of the audience around him, and his whole body was soaked in a sense of hopelessness. He could never have imagined that this would be the case when the film was released. Hope was like a colorful soap bubble that suddenly burst in front of his eyes, making him feel extremely depressed.

At the end of the show, Zhou Xingchi left without saying a word, while Liu Zhenwei was still sitting in his seat in a daze, and a boundless pathos overwhelmed him.

After watching the whole film, the only thing that many viewers remember in their minds is the charming and colorful Chun Thirty Niang and the bewitching and sexy Bai Jingjing, and of course, the Zixia Fairy who glimpsed at the end, in addition, everyone's impression of this film is "too noisy and noisy" or "I don't know what to do".

There are not many people who really understand this film, Zeng Zhiwei is one of them, and at the end of the film, he said to Rentai with emotion: "This movie is really well made, but it's a pity that it was born at the wrong time!" ”

Yu Rentai agrees with him, but the film's box office prospects are bleak, and the setback of Jiayi Cinemas is good news for them.

——

"Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" was released three days before Christmas in 1985, and with the luxurious star lineup of the film, many viewers bought tickets to enter the theater at the beginning, and the box office results were once very good. It's a pity that the "good start" didn't last long, and the overall box office plummeted.

According to the rules of Jiayi Cinema Line on box office scheduling, the number of screenings began to be reduced two weeks after its release to make way for other high-grossing films, and the final box office of this film in Hong Kong was only 25 million, and even the cost was not recovered.

Lin Youlun's golden body of "undefeated at the box office" was broken, which immediately aroused heated discussions in the Hong Kong media, but the director of this film, Liu Zhenwei, was completely forgotten.

The entertainment industry is so realistic, when you become popular, there will be many people who regard you as a master, and when you are down, these people will all leave you.

Shaw Brothers did not forget Liu Zhenwei, and made a special phone call, but not to comfort him, but to inform him that the filming of "Shaolin Football" was suspended, and he would be notified when filming would resume.

Since answering this call, Liu Zhenwei has become a "walking corpse", turned into a pile of ashes, he locked himself at home all day, he didn't think about tea and food, lost his soul, like a demon, the days were in a daze, and he didn't have time to buy the calendar for the New Year, and even he didn't know that the day had passed, and he only vaguely knew that it was still January.

In less than a month, Wang Jiawei saw Liu Zhenwei again and found that he had changed very much, not only did his eyes sink deeply, but even his spirit was even worse. When the two chatted, Liu Zhenwei often wandered, and sometimes Wang Jiawei called him, he would be startled, as if he had been awakened in a dream, and his eyes seemed to have just groped back from a distant place; Sometimes his eyes looked forward in a daze, and he directly ignored Wang Jiawei. …,

"Hey, I said if you're listening to me carefully, your movie is really good, you don't need to be so depressed!" Wang Jiawei knocked on the table dissatisfied, he came to Liu Zhenwei today, originally to tell him a good news, but after talking about it for a long time, this guy didn't listen to anything.

"What's the use of what do you think is good, and the audience doesn't buy it!" Liu Zhenwei's eyes were empty, and he replied weakly.

"Who says audiences don't buy it?" Wang Jiawei took out an audio tape, "This is the reaction of the audience when I watched this film in a theater in Ximending, Taiwan, you can listen to it yourself." ”

Liu Zhenwei found a tape recorder, stuffed the tape in, pressed the play button, and after the murmur, there was a chaotic noise, laughing, crying, shouting, and applauding, and the most was the exclamation of "wow" and the laughter of "Ha Lu Ha".

"Is it so outrageous?" Liu Zhenwei raised his head, his eyes were full of suspicion, he felt that this tape was made by Wang Jiawei to comfort himself, and these voices must be fake.

——

When Lin Youlun got the box office data in Taiwan, he was also unbelievable at first, the box office revenue of "Journey to the West" in Taiwan was equivalent to more than 35 million Hong Kong dollars.

The box office dismal "Journey to the West" in Hong Kong will be copied to Taiwan, and Taiwanese theater companies will only test screen the film in some universities in Taiwan out of caution, wanting to see how it works.

Perhaps such "alternative" films are more suitable for flowering in the soil of the campus, and the screening of the film in Taiwanese colleges and universities immediately caused a "full house". There are even people who specialize in the cultural significance of the film's touring structure, line dialogue, and classic deconstruction, and for a time the film was hyped up, and most of the followers were young college students.

The "big talk" trend that blew up on Taiwan's campus soon blew into Taiwanese society, and audiences flocked to the cinema, and Taiwanese audiences who watched more literary and artistic movies were more patient than Hong Kong audiences, and were more able to accept this nonsensical comedy style, and many people liked this movie for a while.

"Journey to the West" dramatically became a "big hit" in Taiwan, and the result of flowering inside the wall and incense outside the wall made Lin Youlun unexpected.
