"'The Grandmaster of Guoshu: Starting from Scratch' was screened in Tang Dynasty theaters last night, and there is no doubt that this is definitely a well-made movie. Whether it is the rhythm of the plot or the design of martial arts, it is quite exciting! This film is a milestone in action movies! ”

"The plot of 'The Grandmaster of National Art from Scratch' produced by the movie all-rounder Gu Weiqi is full of ups and downs, and the martial arts design is sharp and crisp, without any mud and water, which can be called the best textbook in action movies!"

"This film is definitely one of the few excellent works in the Xiangjiang film industry in recent years, and it is another action blockbuster after Li Xiaolong's real kung fu movie, I highly recommend everyone to go to the theater to watch it!"

"It is worthy of a big production and a big cast movie created for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, it looks hearty and exciting, it is really happy! I have no responsibility to predict that it should not be a problem for this film to break the highest box office record of 21.1 million created by "Lifting Little Hands". Even judging by the current momentum, it is not impossible to break through the 30 million mark. ”

"A history of the rise of a teenager full of legends! A fist to the flesh, a peak duel that can make the audience's blood boil! A real kung fu movie, especially the actor Gu Weiqi's interpretation of national arts, can be described as exciting! ”

"It's definitely an action blockbuster that you have to watch. ' 'The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch' is an innovative work of action movies. It's definitely worth your time in the theater! ”

“……”

The next day, major newspapers reported on the hot test screening of "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch" in Tang Dynasty theaters.

And the audience who watched the movie "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch" that night, in order to show off, couldn't help but talk about this movie to their friends: "Have you watched the movie "The Grandmaster of Guoshu?" No? Let me tell you, this movie is so good, the real kung fu duel to the flesh will definitely blow your eyes, it's a pity not to watch it! ”

"Really? Is it that good-looking? ”

"Cub lied to you, this movie is really good!"

"Hearing you say that, I really want to see it."

……

"Ming Zai, have you watched the movie 'The Grandmaster of National Arts: Starting from Scratch'?"

"Look, not only did I go to see it, but I also won a lucky prize when I bought a ticket."

"What a lucky prize? What are you two muttering? ”

"We're talking about the movie 'The Grandmaster of Guoshu Starts from Scratch', let me tell you Director Wang, this movie is good, and you can also draw a lottery if you buy a movie ticket. I went to the movies last night and paid 10 yuan for a ticket, but I won the lucky prize and got a handheld game console worth 58. ”

"Isn't it? And such a good thing? ”

……

"Dao Boy, last night I gathered my brothers to go to Sha Tau Kok to cut people and grab land, why didn't you come? What did you do? ”

"Hehe, Brother Feng, I ...... last night I was dragged by my girlfriend to watch 'The Grandmaster of National Art from Scratch', let me tell you Brother Feng, this movie is good. ”

"You fucking want to watch a movie, you don't even dare to listen to my orders, this movie is really that good?"

"Absolutely good-looking Brother Feng, you can find it when you have time to take a look."

……

With the media comments and the audience's word-of-mouth, the "National Art Grandmaster's Starting from Scratch", which had been fully promoted, fermented instantly, and the box office showed a blowout. The quality of the film itself is really good. There are quite a few viewers who feel that they can't enjoy it after watching it once, and they highly recommend it to their friends and watch it a second time.

Soon, the attendance rate of "Guoshu Grandmaster Starting from Zero" soared all the way, breaking through ninety percent. However, because the theaters of the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line are limited, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie is high, so there are eight additional screenings every day. But even so, it still can't satisfy the audience's movie-watching craze.

The 11 theaters of the Tang Dynasty cinema line lined up in long queues from morning to night, and some scalpers began to haunt, and after speculation, the ticket prices all rose to twenty or thirty yuan. And after watching this film, and then watching the "Dragon and Tiger Master" and Jiahe's "Avenger" released by Shao's in the same period, I feel that both the picture and the plot are weak.

However, during the same period, "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Multi-Star" directed by Xu Ke, which was released by Xinyicheng, also received praise from many film critics. This film can be said to be completely different from the prevalent drama of the early days of the Republic of China in Xiangjiang. This film is very Westernized, the sets and costumes are gorgeous and bright (the art director of the film is Uncle Zhang), giving the audience a refreshing feeling. Historically, the film was a huge success when it was released that year, and later became a modern and luxurious streamlined comedy.

However, when it comes to costumes and sets, "The Grandmaster of National Art from Scratch" is not far behind. In particular, the clothes designed by Gu Weiqi not only look more beautiful, but also very fashionable and trendy. In terms of sets, he is even more fused with the strengths of hundreds of schools, and even the professional film magazine "Film Fortnightly" has praised him.

Of course, at that time, Gu Weiqi's Phoenix TV and "China Entertainment Times" also began to exert their efforts and issued favorable comments and publicity.

Shao Tycoon's TVB and media magazines also launched reports in favor of "Young Master Dragon and Tiger" at the same time; And because Xinyicheng and Jiahe don't have TVs, they can only spend money to let people publish advertorials in many newspapers that are conducive to the release of their own movies.

Of course, it is inevitable that the film reviews released by each other to smear each other's opponents will be released, and the media will be divided into several factions to start a war of scolding. But in fact, it's just a war of words now, which is much better than the competition between Shao and Jiahe in the 70s. At that time, in order to grab the audience, the two sides got people and horses, and directly staged a real knife and gun battle at the door of the other party's theater.

Gu Weiqi put down the newspaper he had just finished reading with interest, drank all the breakfast milk in the cup in one go, wiped his mouth, turned his head to look at Fang Lingwei and said, "Now it seems that the box office of 'National Art Grandmaster' Starting from Scratch doesn't have to worry." How is the issuance right of the 'small hand' in the foreign city sold? ”

Fang Lingwei stopped her chopsticks and replied, "It's still under negotiation." ”

"Thank you, Sister Weiwei."

"It's okay." Fang Lingwei smiled slightly: "You are my man, I help my own man take care of his career, even if it is hard, it's fine." By the way, you won't forget to shoot your part of the 'Diamond Heist' this afternoon. ”

"Well, I remember. By the way, how is the details of the scar man I asked Jiang Han to investigate now? ”

"It's still under investigation, I'll let you know if there's news. And you promised Hong Jinbao to write a script for him, don't forget it. ”

"Well, I'm thinking about it." Gu Weiqi nodded, closed his eyes and thought about it, and decided to help him drum up Hong Jinbao's "scary", anyway, this movie itself is his work, and now he can help the other party get it, and he can also earn personal favors, why not?

Speaking of which, the original version of this film was released in 1983 in history, and it received a box office of 10.1 million Hong Kong dollars as soon as it was released that year. Pie is at number 10 at the box office. The film is starring Hung Jinbao, Lin Zhenying and Chung Chuhong, as well as Wu Ma and others.

The general plot is mainly about Zhu Dajiao, played by Hong Jinbao, who lent his body to the soul of his dead friend Ma Linxiang in order to help his friend avenge his friend. In the end, the Taoist priest played by Lin Zhenying was rescued. The film is very good-looking and very interesting.

But just when Gu Weiqi was tinkering with "people are scary". He Guanchang, the second boss of Jiahe Film Company, quietly walked into his home Tang Dynasty Cinema Cinema with glasses and a hat under the command of his old man. There is no way, this film is so popular that the attendance rate of the "Avengers" released in their theaters has repeatedly declined, and I have to pay attention to it.

After going back, I asked him how about this big cast movie that claimed to have invested tens of millions. Although He Guanchang didn't want to admit it, he had to tell the truth and tell the old man that this movie was quite good, and it was not for nothing that the audience sought after it.

Fu Wenhuai shrugged his brows and asked, "What's a good method?" ”

"The plot is full of ups and downs, very tense, and the sense of rhythm is very well controlled."

He Guanchang sighed and exclaimed: "Especially the martial arts design, it can be said that it is hot-blooded, fist-to-flesh, and has a great visual impact. And both the costumes and the set are very beautiful. I didn't expect that this Donglai company's inconspicuous ability to make such a well-made action movie. Especially Gu Weiqi, although he is young, his skills are very good. And for film production, he is simply an all-rounder, and I am afraid that our Jiahe life will not be easy in the future. ”

"After all, it's a big investment of tens of millions, and it's not surprising that it's well-made. If it's garbage, it's really weird. He took a puff on his cigar and asked, "How's the attendance?" How many percent? ”

"Full." The other party smiled bitterly: "According to the current situation, I am afraid that it will break the box office record of Xiangjiang again." Fortunately, Sanmao's 'Loser' was released half a month early and got more than 6 million box office paintings, otherwise it would definitely be violently blocked. ”

Fu Wenhuai nodded approvingly: "Yes, by the way, what kind of film are Xinyicheng and Shao's released?" ”

"The new art city is 'ghost horse wisdom multi-star'. As for Shao's release, it is 'Young Master Dragon and Tiger', but there is nothing to worry about. It's just that I'm afraid that this newly rising 'Oriental Hollywood International Film Company' will definitely become a big problem for our Jiahe to dominate Xiangjiang Films! ”

"It doesn't matter."

Fu Wenhuai waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "A newly rising film company, even if it makes a blockbuster movie, it may not necessarily be able to sell movies in the future, and movies are not something that anyone can play." Although it is reported that the Gu kid is rich, making a movie is not just a matter of watching who has more money. ”

"You're right, it seems that I'm overthinking."

He Guanchang nodded, and continued: "Judging from the attendance rate I observed, this movie is very popular, why don't we take the opportunity to launch a similar kung fu movie and take advantage of this shareholder wind to make a fortune?" I think even if we don't do this, it is estimated that Shao's and Xinyicheng will do the same. ”

"Haha, you've got a good idea."

Wrinkled Wenhuai laughed and said, "It's like coming with me." Since this movie is called 'The Master of National Arts' Starting from Scratch', let's just get a 'Gossip Grandmaster of National Arts'. But how to do it, we still have to study and study, you notify the heads of various departments to come over for a meeting to discuss. Come up with a practical plan as soon as possible. ”

He Guanchang nodded, then turned around and walked out.

At the same time, Shao Yifu also sent his right-hand man Liu Jialiang to quietly buy tickets to enter the "Tang Dynasty Cinema" to watch the "National Art Grandmaster's Starting from Scratch", and the results were naturally as praised as He Guanchang.

After all, this film is already well-made, and the blockbuster with an investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is not for fun. Of course, it certainly didn't actually cost that much. However, it is still a superior work in the current Xiangjiang films.

After getting the news reported by Liu Jialiang, Shao Yifu and Fu Wenhuai, who had been fighting for ten years, thought of a match, and decided to follow a "Tai Chi Grandmaster of National Art" to make a lot of money with this shareholder wind. So he ordered the people to go down, hold a meeting, and actively mobilize.

And Lei Juekun, another giant of the three major film companies in Xiangjiang, the big boss of Xinyi City, also sent a capable bald Mecca quietly into the theater to watch the "National Art Grandmaster: Starting from Scratch", and the results also made the boss Lei who had a keen sense of smell feel profitable. So with a big stroke of money, he approved a fund of 5 million Hong Kong dollars and decided to follow the trend to start filming "The Eight Extremes Grandmaster of National Art".

Well, these three giants are worthy of being the people who have been in the shopping mall for many years, and when they saw that it was profitable, they immediately began to prepare to follow the trend and make money. In the same way, some independent film companies found it profitable, so there was a frenzy to follow the trend. In this regard, all kinds of grandmasters seem to have no capital, and they have sprung up one after another. Of course, only God knows if it will make money in the end.

And the initiator Gu Weiqi was busy tinkering with "scary people" at this time, and he finally wrote the main story plot of this play after a busy morning. However, in order to save time, he did not draw a storyboard script, in terms of action design, Hong Jiaban has talents, so after writing the story, he called Hong Jinbao to send someone to get it.
