"Sister Jun, why are you so free to visit me today?" After Liang Jinling said goodbye to Guan Zhilin, he walked to the three daughters of Deng Lijun, Lin Qingxia, and Hu Yinmeng, and put his arm around Deng Lijun's shoulders and asked softly.

"Fart, showing affection in the court, is there any shame?" Lin Qingxia saw that Liang Jinling and Deng Lijun were so close, and secretly said to herself, she remembered the intimate scene with Liang Jinling just now, and her face turned red.

"Ah Ling, you forgot, tonight is a test screening, didn't you say that you want to go to the cinema with me and cheer for Brother Jie?"

"That's right, I forgot that tonight is a test screening, Sister Jun, thank you for the reminder." Liang Jinling patted his forehead, he was so busy filming that he forgot about the test screening.

"I know you're a big head." Teresa Teng nodded Liang Jinling's forehead delicately.

"Sister Jun, you are so good to me." Liang Jinling grabbed the back of Teresa Teng's smooth hand and kissed it.

Good "Meat" is numb, Lin Qingxia shivered all over her body.

Seeing the two dog men and women in front of him showing their affection as if no one else was there, Hu Yinmeng coughed, "Ahem, what are you talking about, Lijun." ”

"Oh, that's the case, Ah Ling helped Director Xu Yiwen write a movie before, and now it has been filmed, and a test screening will be held tonight." Seeing the questions of her best friends Lin Qingxia and Hu Yinmeng, Teresa Teng explained carefully.

"Test screening? What is a Preview Screening? Lin Qingxia took over the topic and asked Teresa Teng curiously.

"I don't know about that." Teresa Teng moved her gaze to Liang Jinling.

"Let's talk while we go, the test screening is 、、、。" Leung Jinling pulled the three beauties and walked away, and introduced to them the special test screenings of Hong Kong movies.

The so-called test screening is a three-day midnight test screening before the movie is about to be released. This is a unique rule in the Hong Kong film industry in the 50s to early 90s, that is, for films released in Hong Kong, each film must be screened for three days before the release of a midnight test screening, inviting the media, friends, loyal fans, entertainment stars, etc. to watch it (of course, you have to buy tickets, and those who give tickets will be counted separately).

This trick was very popular with the audience, and was later retained by the Hong Kong film industry as a tradition and became a rule, until it was canceled in the early 90s due to advanced VCD piracy technology, the triad grabbing film, etc.

This rule was originally a trick invented in Hong Kong in the 50s and 60s, when Shaw Brothers and Dianmao were competing for hegemony, in order to grab the audience, that is, to pick out the best "Mao" films without cutting, and put them all for the audience to watch, listen to the audience's reputation, and like to watch that part, so they will take it back and cut it out, become a feature film, and then come out for publication.

For example, the film "Mao" is 150 minutes long, and the director and cutter will cut it into a movie of more than 90 minutes according to the audience's joy.

This rule is both a favorite and a headache for all filmmakers, because at the midnight preview screening, the main staff of each film must be present to understand the word-of-mouth, and the rules of the Hong Kong film industry stipulate that the main creators of the film must be present, such as the director, starring, screenwriter, etc., to accept the audience's opinions on the spot.

The midnight test screening is the most unruly, if the film is not good-looking, you will be scolded by the audience with your nose and bloody, and even beat you roughly. If it looks good, it will usher in full applause and heartfelt admiration from the audience, and it will spread word of mouth. Therefore, in this era, even dull literary films, as long as the test screening has a good reputation, it can also have some box office.

In fact, this also plays a role in publicity, on the other hand, if a certain plot is not liked by everyone, this also has the opportunity to be modified. This is where Hong Kong and Chinese films in the future are far from being able to (such as the super blockbuster 3D movies of the later generations, Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Fuchun Mountain Jutu, Wuji, Future Police, The City is Full of Golden Armor, etc., the plot lacks details, the dialogue is chaotic, and the audience in Hong Kong and the mainland is scolded, and the media comments have satirized the plot, if it weren't for the 3D visual effects or the popularity of the stars, the box office would have hit the street long ago).

There have been many viewers who have thrown garbage and garbage at a certain crew (especially the cane biting party, holding the sugarcane while eating and watching, and throwing the sugarcane to the screen and the front row if it is not good-looking).

Both the director and the actors were very scared of this. Because at midnight, if the audience is not satisfied, scolding is still a trivial matter, and it is even possible to hit someone without taking responsibility (in 1983, Shaw Brothers claimed to have invested tens of millions of dollars to shoot an invincible bad movie that could be beautiful Star Wars, and the director of the interstellar blunt tire was seriously injured and hospitalized by the cane biting party).

In this way, every director and actor always does their best to do their best, so as to please the audience and escape the "catastrophe" of the test screening.

Therefore, in the case that everyone is deliberately pleasing the audience, Hong Kong movies have gradually evolved into easy-to-understand, highly entertaining Hong Kong films, which is far less than Hollywood films of that era, and the midnight test screening has made Hong Kong movie audiences soar, and later generations According to statistics, in the 50-90s, the average Hong Kong person watched movies more than 22 times a year, more than double the average number of views per capita in Europe and the United States.

This rule is half good and half bad, and the advantage is that it can force filmmakers to do their best to make a good film, act well, and make a good movie, compared to filmmakers who only get paid and don't work hard in later generations, this rule is beyond doubt.

The disadvantage is that filmmakers are afraid that they will be thrown away, trash, or criticized, so generally talented directors and screenwriters copy other people's works, or directly imitate the bridges, or even language. For example, if you look carefully at the zombie movies of the 80s and 90s, many of the plots, language, and action design are the same.

In this way, it has also created the so-called follow-up, if a certain type of movie suddenly becomes a big success, there will be many similar movies immediately, and in the long run, some themes will be shot badly, and the audience will get tired of watching it, even if there are new films in the future, not many people are willing to watch them.

After dinner, Lin Qingxia and Hu Yinmeng, instigated by Teresa Teng and pulled by Leung Jinling, had no choice but to follow them to the cinema to enjoy the special test screening of the Hong Kong film industry. After all, they are filming in Hong Kong, and they will also come into contact with the rules of test screenings in the future.

In the villa, Lin Qingxia's three daughters changed into noble and shiny off-the-shoulder evening clothes, and drove towards the Golden Harvest Wan Chai Cinema in Leung Jinling's red Ferrari.

Golden Harvest Wan Chai Cinema, located in Central, is the largest cinema in the Golden Harvest Cinema Line in the 70s, which can seat more than 800 people.

Park your car on the side of the road, in this era, there are not many cars in Hong Kong, and there are not so many parking lots, and the cars are parked casually.

Liang Jinling held Teresa Teng's wrist with his left hand and flowers in his right hand, and got out of the car, followed by two curious babies Lin Qingxia and Hu Yinmeng. I saw the three girls carrying the skirt of the falling to the ground, following Liang Jinling and looking around.

Walking to the Wan Chai Cinema, Leung found that the entrance of the cinema was already crowded, and countless fans and reporters were blocking the roadside at the entrance of the cinema, and the noise was constant.

"Look, it's Liang Jinling here." I don't know who is sharp-eyed, and when I saw Liang Jinling walking over with Deng Lijun in her arms, she shouted.

"Ahh Those little girls, seeing the arrival of their idols, ran madly towards Liang Jinling. Those reporters were not far behind, carrying cameras and notebooks, and squeezed towards Liang Jinling.

"Lingzai, sign it for me." A little girl with glasses squeezed in front of Liang Jinling and asked for an autograph.

"Lingzai, take a picture with me, okay." A little chubby girl squeezed Deng Lijun away, threw herself into Liang Jinling's arms, and coquettishly bought cuteness.

"Lisa, I love you, can you sign me a name." A little boy took the opportunity to squeeze in front of Teresa Teng and asked for an autograph.

Seeing Liang Jinling and Teresa Teng being overwhelmed by hundreds of fans, they were in a hurry, Lin Qingxia and Hu Yinmeng, who were squeezed behind, glanced at each other, secretly envious, when did they become so popular.

Liang Jinling smiled wryly while signing the autograph, I knew that there were so many fans, and I covered my face, but now it's okay, at least I can sign my hand.

Although the rouge floated around him, after signing dozens of names, Liang Jinling shook his arm and whispered to these little girl fans for mercy: "Ladies and gentlemen, look at my hands, I'm tired of signing autographs, it's better to let me go tonight, and I'll sign for you another day." ”

"No, Lingzai, sign my name first." The girls who didn't ask for autographs crowded around Liang Jinling one after another and didn't let him go.

"Look, the movie is about to start, we can't all huddle on the side of the road, okay, didn't that cutie just now have a camera? Why don't we take a group photo together? Liang Jin had an idea and thought of a way to get out.

"Okay." As soon as the little girls heard the group photo, they all agreed.

"Click." After taking a group photo, the little girls were very satisfied to let Liang Jinling go, surrounded the camera owner, and asked her for her phone number, so that she could take pictures in the future.

Those reporters saw that Liang Jinling had already escaped, and let go of the three daughters of Teresa Teng and Lin Qingxia around them, and they all ran over to interview Liang Jinling.

"Lingzai, I'm from Oriental Daily, may I ask if you came over with Deng Lijun holding hands just now, are you patting her?" A scantily clad big wave girl, with her figure, squeezed to the front and grabbed the interview first.

"Hehehe, guess." Liang Jinling didn't deny or admit it, just mysteriously singled his eyes and laughed. is not a loss, an unscrupulous newspaper company, as soon as it comes up, it directly hits Liang Jinling's lace news.

"That's a drag." The big wave girl beauty reporter made a bold guess.

"You say yes, that's it."

Wow, no, Liang Jinling and Teresa Teng are in a sister-brother relationship, this is big news. The reporters present remarked.

"That's 、、。" Big Bo Mei still wants to ask.

"One question for one person, you come next." Liang Jinling pointed to the reporter of Ming Pao and asked her to ask questions, after all, she had mixed up in Ming Pao and gave her face.

"Lingzai, I'm from Ming Pao, I want to ask, since your novel Zhuxian ended, there has been no new book for a long time, when will you release a new book, many book fans are waiting for your new work." An ordinary-looking female reporter, holding a pen and a notebook, interviewed Liang Jinling.

"My new work has been written, it is also a Xiuzhen novel, called "Ethereal Journey", it will be published next year, please be patient and don't worry." Liang Jinling heard the inquiry of the reporter of Mingbao, and remembered that he was still an author, and he forgot to plagiarize the novel, how can this work, the novel can improve the popularity of his literati costume "Force".

"Lingzai, hello, I'm from TVB, I heard that you are the screenwriter of Xu Xiwen's play, is this true?" A big-eyed sister held a microphone to Liang Jinling's mouth for an interview.

"Yes, I wrote the script of this movie to director Xu Yiwen half a year ago, a few months before the script on Shanghai Tang."

"Lingzai, I'm from Hong Kong Economic Weekly, and I have a question to ask." An intellectual beauty holds a tape recorder and wants to interview Liang Jinling.

"Beauty, if there is anything you want to ask, I am happy to answer." Liang Jinling saw a beautiful reporter in a professional skirt and flirted with her frivolously.

The intellectual beauty blushed, why is this guy so frivolous, but she hasn't forgotten her work: "The Rubik's Cube toy company in Hong Kong that is very popular in the world, and the legal person in it is also called Liang Jinling, is that person Lingzai are you?" ”

Originally, it was strange that the reporters who interviewed entertainment stars in the economic newspaper heard this question and turned their eyes to Liang Jinling to see how he answered.

"Yes, I own that company."

"Wow." Last week, the Wall Street Economic Weekly in the United States made a statistic on the turnover of the Hong Kong Rubik's Cube Company, and found that the company was listed together with the Wal-Mart supermarket chain in the United States, the Carrefour supermarket chain in France, the Whampoa department store in Asia, and Europe, America and Asia.

In just two months, this intellectual toy in the world's major newspapers, TV station publicity, high competition bonuses attracted, quickly popular around the world, the global turnover of up to one billion US dollars, according to the United States Wall Street Economic Weekly estimates, Hong Kong Rubik's Cube company to open costs and expenses, at least 500 million US dollars profit, market value of more than 1 billion US dollars.

Not only that, the Wall Street Economic Weekly also praised the marketing methods of Hong Kong Rubik's Cube, which can be listed simultaneously in the world, so that piracy companies do not even have time for piracy, and Rubik's Cube toys will be in short supply in the next six months.

"That Lingzai, we're not going to call you a tycoon in the future." Hearing Liang Jinling's admission, the intellectual beauty changed her face, and hurriedly threw a wink at him, jokingly.

The net worth of this guy in front of him is now at least 5 billion Hong Kong dollars, one of the top ten Chinese richest people in Hong Kong, but he is a real diamond king. If she can be on the list, she still needs to find a reporter, and she can buy the Hong Kong Economic Weekly as the proprietor.
