When "The Story of Ah Lang" was released for 30 days, the local box office exceeded 6.35 million Hong Kong dollars, which has made many people engaged in the shooting of literary films look up to the mountains, thinking that they were still happy to cheer for the box office of more than 1 million, but Wang Xiaohu has broken through the 6 million mark, compared with the two, Wang Xiaohu's realm is more than 6 times beyond them. [Full text reading]

Such good box office results have greatly stimulated the local literary film market in Hong Kong, and more filmmakers have begun to realize the great charm brought by literary films, especially those filmmakers who have long been engaged in literary films.

A script is a script, and "The Story of Ah Lang" once again shows peers the important role of script in film.

The film is really successful, and the huge box office benefits make Concord burst of joy, although this data has a large gap compared to the 30 million mark in Wang Xiaohu's memory, but he insists on doing this also has a clear purpose, that is, to make Chow Yun-fat popular, promote Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda, and now this purpose has been successfully completed, and the box office value is the result of hand-holding.

"The Story of Ah Lang", which is known as "sounding the clarion call for the revival of Hong Kong literary films", has also gained a great sensation in Taiwan. In the small space full of Qiong Yao's innocent romance films, "Ah Lang's Story" was stunned to tear open a gap with strong force, which was completely inflated on the day of the premiere, and attacked the city and captured the pool in Taiwan's major theaters at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Since Golden Harvest was jointly acquired by Concord and Shaw Brothers, Taiwan's local commercial films have been provided by the two companies, and the Tian Group, which did not have a very good relationship with Wang Xiaohu at the beginning, has also improved their relationship with each other under the mediation of Wang Yu, mainly because of the strong strength shown by Concord Company, Tian Jianren does not bow his head, not to mention that under Wang Xiaohu's intentional or unintentional instruction, Wang Jiaxing got sufficient funds to start accelerating the acquisition plan of Taiwan's local cinema chain.

Under the pressure of Hong Kong films, the Taiwan film market is bound to try to catch up with the beat of Hong Kong filmmakers, although they are working very hard, but when "Lang" came, the Taiwan film market still caused a considerable earthquake.

In the first week of its release, "The Story of Ah Lang" earned 1.3 million Taiwan dollars, which may not be the highest in Taiwan, but it made Taiwanese filmmakers, who have always been proud of literary films, look up in shame.

They can say that "Ah Lang's Story" still includes commercial elements full of copper smell, they can say that this kind of father-son relationship drama is very old-fashioned, and they will even say that the ending part is too far-fetched, but no matter how they belittle this film, they just can't stop the audience from going into the theater to watch it.

"I don't understand why those film critics belittle "The Story of Ah Lang", I have seen it, it is very touching, I can say that I watched it with a smile in the front, and in the back, my eyes have been blurry, and by the end of the day, my whole person was immersed in great grief."

A Taiwanese citizen expressed strong doubts about the local film critics' disparagement of the film, believing that such a film is a very good masterpiece, which can not only appreciate the unique literary style, but also feel the life philosophy carefully choreographed by the main creative team.

The audience did not understand and was not satisfied!

"Don't comment on this film like this, it seems that our local filmmakers are so unqualified, if you have the ability to make a more touching movie than "The Story of Ah Lang", we will spare no effort to support you!"

"If you can't eat grapes, don't say that grapes count, if you have the ability, you can also make one, don't play tricks here all day long! I really doubt that you have read it carefully, and if you did, you would definitely not say so, because even hard-hearted people will be moved by Ah Lang! ”

The more ferocious they scolded, the more the audience walked into the theater to watch, such a strange phenomenon caused "Lang's Story" to break through the terrifying data of 3.76 million Taiwan dollars at the box office in 30 days!

Even Qiong Yao's movie may not have such strong box office results!

In 1973, Li Xing, an important director of Qiong Yao films in the 60s, came back with mixed feelings and filmed "Flying Clouds", "Where Seagulls Fly", and "There Are Thousands of Knots in My Heart", which broke box office records. made Qiong Yao one of the highest-grossing novel adaptation queens in Taiwan, and when she began to write, she was no longer a writer who simply wrote, but anticipated the possibility of adapting movies, and some were even written specifically for the director's vision. Since the mid-70s, when the novel is published, the film has already started filming, and the portrait of the protagonist on the cover of the novel is already based on the protagonist in the movie.

Qiong Yao can be described as infinitely beautiful, but now, "The Story of Ah Lang" directed by Wang Xiaohu has entered the Taiwan film market with a strong attitude, with major theaters supporting each other in the past, and Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Aijia and others in various cities in Taiwan to carry out circular publicity, and breaking the literary film dynasty under the rule of Qiong Yao with strong box office data.

Cracks have appeared, and they are expanding with lightning speed, so that Taiwanese filmmakers can really taste the domineering of Hong Kong films, it turns out that Hong Kong people can not only make popular commercial films, but also make touching literary films, and moreover, and can be so popular, how can you let these Taiwanese filmmakers who are immersed in their own virtual structure of the dynasty suffer!

Wang Xiaohu, who was in Hong Kong and was preparing to spend the New Year, soon received a call from Wang Jiaxing: "The Story of Ah Lang" is likely to be nominated for the Golden Horse Awards.

This news made Wang Xiaohu happy for a long time, and there was a refreshing factor all over his body, not for anything else, letting "Ah Lang's Story" be released 13 years in advance, which itself made Chow Yun-fat's influence shrink a lot, if he didn't take a Golden Horse Award to comfort Fa Zai, Wang Xiaohu himself couldn't help it, but no one in this era knew the 30 million box office achieved by "Ah Lang's Story" in another time and space, if they knew, they would definitely break a large jaw.

Wang Xiaohu tied an apron around his waist, and finally hummed the tune of "Your Look", and happily made fetal soup for his wife, as the due date approached day by day, he also gave full authority to all the things of the company, anyway, it is almost the New Year now, he asked for the surname to give the company's employees a holiday in advance on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, so that in addition to working hard in Thailand to catch up with the "earth-shattering" stunt team, most of the local employees in Hong Kong are going home for the New Year, anyway, the Americans do not have a Chinese New Year plot, As long as they have the motivation to work, they like to stick to their jobs.

Wang Xiaohu himself, incarnated as a new good man, accompanied Zhao Yazhi to raise a fetus at home every day, and still listened to the sound of his son rolling and swimming through his lower abdomen, and even hummed some nursery rhymes that Zhao Yazhi had never heard to do prenatal education.

Speaking of this prenatal education work, Wang Xiaohu can be said to take it very seriously, found the Xiahou sisters, and asked them to use their network in the United States to find a lot of light music, among which Zabach's piano music is the mainstay, because these piano music can improve people's intelligence, hearing, etc., and it is the best prenatal education music in the 70s.

Zhao's mother simply moved in directly in the past two days, carefully serving her daughter, waiting for the birth of her grandson. Since Wang Xiaohu is an orphan and has no parents, the Zhao family subconsciously classifies their grandson as a grandson. Is there any difference between a grandson and a grandson? Aren't they all the same love?

Wang Xiaohu spent a Spring Festival in 1976 in waiting, because he was a father for the first time, he was particularly nervous, in addition to going to Yu Zhanyuan's house on the first day of the New Year, he did not do extra walking, and directly used the telephone New Year's greeting method, so that Jin Yong, Run Run Shaw and others laughed and scolded and said false and serious. Wang Xiaohu is also happy not to care about them, after all, he doesn't care what others say at this time, who made him a father for the first time, what about doing such a thing.

Of course, some people will use the telephone as a communication tool to greet Wang Xiaohu for the New Year, Weng Meiling, who is far away in the United Kingdom, called on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the phone, the first sentence of the little girl's mouth was: "Old Bean, I want to kill you!" I hate you, you didn't send me when I came to England. ”

This made Wang Xiaohu feel a little wronged, when the filming of "Seven Little Blessings" was completed, Weng Meiling stayed in Hong Kong for a while, "Seven Little Blessings" was released for a few days, Wang Xiaohu rushed to Thailand alone to stare at the filming of "Earth-shattering", so that he even missed sending Weng Meiling on the plane, and then he squatted in Thailand for two months, during which Weng Meiling called several times and was answered by Zhao Yazhi, and also wrote many letters, but Wang Xiaohu was busy with the group, and he didn't have the time to reply to the letter. I forgot about making a phone call.

How can you make Weng Meiling not angry.

Wang Xiaohu was busy apologizing on the phone, but Weng Meiling also knew that Lao Dou was busy, and the symbolic surname stopped messing around after saying a few angry words.

"Old Dou, when was my brother born? By the way, you haven't given me a red envelope yet, I don't care, you didn't give it to me last year, this year is not allowed to fall, you mail it to me by air express, I won't recognize you if I don't see the red envelope! ”

"Ugh! It's easy to talk about the red envelope, your brother will be born in a few days. ”
