"Drunken Fist" is like a jar of old wine, quickly becoming popular in less than a week, men, women and children are talking about "Drunken Fist", strolling through the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, you seem to be able to smell bursts of rich wine, the root of this aroma comes from "Drunken Fist", from Jackie Chan, from the film company called Concord. [Full text reading]" -- Zhang Meijuan, "Hong Kong Women's Daily".

This film is obviously more mature than "Serpentine" a few months ago, and it gives full play to the characteristics and appeal of the genre, further confirming Jackie Chan's new on-screen hero image - an indomitable, unyielding and successful little man. This new hero is very different from the undead heroes or tragic heroes portrayed by Bruce Lee before, first of all, this hero is a crooked cultural conservative with a lingering chivalrous spirit, and this chivalrous spirit is maintained by the little folk people who rely on their fists, and they use their conscience and force to maintain social justice. -- Express News.

"The future route of Hong Kong films is determined, and Wang Xiaohu is willing to be a pathfinder and become popular Jackie Chan."

"Ming Pao Evening News" commented and pointed out: "Jackie Chan began to show his body myth in these films, and many stunt scenes were fought by him personally, fighting with his surname, that is, using this as a selling point, and also taking this as his own label in the film industry, if "Serpentine Trickster" is just Wang Xiaohu's roadstone, then the success of "Drunken Fist" undoubtedly allowed Jackie Chan to find his own kung fu path completely different from Bruce Lee, in the movie, Jackie Chan no longer shows a serious face, but incarnates as a civilian, It makes people feel friendly and naughty, and his kung fu route is closer to civilian, often extracting materials, everything can be used to kill the enemy to win, it looks relaxed but thrilling, so that the audience can make a knowing smile while being nervous, it can be said that the success of "Drunken Fist" opened Jackie Chan's road to an action superstar in the Hong Kong film industry. ”

"I really like this movie, it is very ornamental, and there are some principles of life in it, many places have deep educational significance, it allows us to see a completely different image of Huang Feihong, Jackie Chan's version of Huang Feihong makes us feel more intimate and real, as if the naughty big boy next door, I really love Jackie Chan!" This is the heartfelt words of a female fan.

It is true that after "Drunken Fist" became popular, followed by Jackie Chan, who was also popular, and the red was purple, and the surname of the character of Jackie Chan's version of Huang Feihong became the favorite object of many girls. On the third day of the release of "Drunken Fist", Concord's mailbox was filled with a large number of letters sent to Jackie Chan by fans, and there was no shortage of bold female fans openly professing their love in their hearts. Whenever this happens, Jackie Chan will proudly take the letter to visit all departments of the company, and will read out the content of his heart aloud to everyone.

A bunch of good words from media reporters smashed up, and they had the intention of patting Concord's sycophants and cooperating with Concord to create an idol superstar in the new era. In an interview with reporters, when asked by reporters and media why "Drunken Fist" stood out among many movies and created a generation, Wang Xiaohu just calmly replied with three words: "The script is good." ”

The sentence "the script is good" illustrates the important influence of literary opera on martial arts, and also illustrates the absolute lethality of martial arts opera and singing on the box office. reminds all reporters of last year's "Righteous Heroes", "Ip Man", and "Jingwumen", three well-known small-budget films directly slaughtered the Southeast Asian box office, bringing Hong Kong films to a new starting point in one fell swoop. Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Wang Xiaohu's nirvana of the popular star was not unrelated to the script.

Think about it, the release of "Righteous Heroes", Wang Xiaohu became popular with Zhao Yazhi and Yuan Biao, he became popular with Chow Yun-fat again after the release of "Ip Man", "The Loser" soared Yuan Biao's popularity again, and "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist" made Jackie Chan an idol in the minds of young people.

is almost a script that makes a newcomer popular, not counting Stallone who rose in Hollywood with "Rocky"!

Wang Xiaohu's "glorious deeds" in Hollywood have been spread by Run Run Shaw intentionally or unintentionally in Hong Kong, although Wang Xiaohu is very speechless about this, but it doesn't seem to cause anything to make him unhappy, everything is in a calm transition, the transition to the present, even Golden Harvest has been quiet recently.

"What film will Director Wang shoot next?"

Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said: "You shouldn't ask me these questions, you should ask Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping, they are now my right-hand men, if they submit a good script, I will not hesitate to invest in filming." As for what I'm going to do now? You should go buy a TV and watch my Jingwumen a month later. ”

"But Hong Kong people have become aesthetically tired of imitating the Bruce Lee series or spoofing "Jingwumen", do you think there is anything that can attract everyone about TV dramas?" "Ming Pao" reporter Yi Xiujia asked.

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "The reason why they didn't succeed in imitating is that they didn't grasp the key to the spirit of Jingwu, you might as well wait for a while, if my "Jingwumen" is not exciting, you can go to the TVB Building to find Uncle Shao Liu or go directly to Xiehe to find me, ask me to give you spiritual compensation, I will unceremoniously give you a TV as a prize!" ”

"Wow! Director Wang, you are really generous, it seems that you are very confident this time. Yi Xiujia exclaimed as she grew her mouth.

"Of course, don't forget that the script of "Jingwumen" was created by me, and the TV series version of "Jingwumen" will have better tension in terms of plot, characters, and martial arts action, and will take you to appreciate the wonderful martial arts action, the ups and downs of the storyline, and the touching and tearful love."

As of the end of August, the box office of "Drunken Fist" in Hong Kong reached a high of 7.9 million, and there are still 8 days before the painting is completed, plus 4.8 million in Southeast Asia, the net income of Concord Company has exceeded 10 million, which shocked the whole Hong Kong again, this is the first film with a net income of more than 10 million after Bruce Lee's death, Wang Xiaohu used 10 million data to once again establish his identity as the savior of Hong Kong films, and at the same time made other filmmakers feel unprecedented pressure.

For example, Run Run Shaw was envious, and he laughed and scolded at the celebration banquet of "Drunken Fist": "Boy, I heard that Twentieth Century Fox transferred the box office dividends of "Rocky" in the later stage? ”

"Sixth uncle, where did you get the news!" Wang Xiaohu asked depressedly, George. Wilson had just put the balance on the accounts two days ago, and this Shaw immediately got the news, and he was surprised, who has so many mouths!

"You don't care where I come from, what do you do!" Run Run Shaw picked up a glass of red wine and handed it over, replaced the watermelon juice in Wang Xiaohu's hand and said: "Your kid is worth 30 million US dollars more now, and his taste should be improved. ”

Seeing that Run Run Shaw rarely told himself these things with a straight face, Wang Xiaohu had a feeling of crying and laughing, he sang a sip of red wine, and always felt that the taste was obedient, so he pouted and said: "The taste of this thing is really not as good as watermelon juice." In addition, I have to explain that I only received more than 23 million in accounts, and more than 7 million taxes were deducted by the damn Yankees, grandma's, the American political axe is too good at robbing money! ”

"The more you earn, the more taxes you pay, which is much better for us in Hong Kong than in the United States. Hey, every time I see you putting tens of millions of dollars in your pocket, I can't sleep with jealousy. Run Run Shaw rolled his eyes to show that his eyeballs were bloodshot. Stinky boy, you are worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars now, why did I see you just now and still take a taxi to attend the celebration banquet, can't you have some taste and buy a Mercedes-Benz sports car? ”

Wang Xiaohu shrugged indifferently and said: "I don't have any special pursuit of these now, and besides, driving is very unsafe and prone to car accidents." ”

"You've got to buy a few safe cars to fill up the façade, right?" Hearing this, Run Run Shaw immediately rolled his eyes and said: "Identity cannot be ignored, otherwise how will you enter the upper class society in the future." ”

"You seem to have a lot of point." Wang Xiaohu took another sip of red wine in his hand, "But a person like me who was born in a bun has never wanted to drill in the upper class circle, I feel too hypocritical and tired!" ”

"Hehe, you, everything is good, but being a person is too direct." Run Run Shaw pointed to his nose and said, "Boy, something is wrong with Uncle Six. Zhang Che wants to leave Shaw Brothers"

Wang Xiaohu frowned, and suddenly thought of an important question: "What about Liu Jialiang and Wu Yusen?" ”

When did Zhang Che leave Shaw Brothers in history to set up Longbow Film Company in Taiwan, Wang Xiaohu didn't know, he only knew that Zhang Che took his beloved apprentices Jiang David, Dillon, and Liu Jialiang when he left Shaw Brothers! Two years later, Liu Jialiang had a disagreement with Zhang Che, and then returned to Hong Kong to establish Liu Jiaban, and Hong Kong kung fu films were divided into two major factions: Liu Jiaban vs Hong Jiaban.

Liu Jialiang's orthodox southern kung fu and Sammo Hung's kung fu comedy were the soul of the heroes in the late 70s and early 80s. Now that Zhang Che is going to retreat south to Taiwan, Wang Xiaohu has to take the opportunity to pull Liu Jialiang and Wu Yusen over.

Liu Jialiang wants to leave the finale to Run Run Shaw, as for John Woo, it is best to win it over, let him adapt to Hollywood as soon as possible, and lay a solid foundation for the future in Hollywood!
