Chapter 56. The popularity of "The Legend of Lei Luo"!

When I got home in the evening, it was already late.

Chen Xuanting turned on the light and wanted to take a shower and go to bed. But I felt a hot ache all over my body.

remembered the fierce battle with Eleven Shao just now, so he took off his clothes, only to see that his body was bruised.

The bruised area is even more painful to touch. I didn't feel anything like it before, but now as soon as I relaxed, my whole body began to protest.

Chen Xuanting gently rubbed the injured part with his hand, but he gritted his teeth in pain. I had no choice but to rummage through the cabinets and start looking for medicinal wine.

As soon as he finished rummaging through the cabinet, he saw Chen Darong walking out of the bedroom shirtless, and he didn't speak, handed him a bottle of bone-setting wine, and said, "Wipe it, it will be better tomorrow!" ”

Chen Xuanting took it, opened the bottle, and the choking smell of bruising made him frown, "Does this work?" He asked.

"The more pungent the smell of the medicine, the better the effect!" Chen Darong said. It seems that these are all his words of experience. It's no wonder that when he was young, he was a fierce man on the road, and it is estimated that he has already become an expert in rubbing medicine and wine.

Chen Xuanting spilled the bone-setting wine on the palm of his hand, endured the pain and began to rub the bruises.

"That's not going to work, it's too light!" Chen Darong took the medicinal wine, wiped it on his hand, and then pressed it Chen Xuanting's bruise.

"It hurts!" Chen Xuanting clenched his teeth. At this moment, he suddenly remembered a classic line: Grandma's bear!

"Bear with me, it'll be fine soon!" Chen Darong ignored him.

"You can bear with me----!" Chen Xuanting muttered.

Chen Darong suddenly smiled, "I thought you had really grown up, it turned out that there were still childish times!" ”

Chen Xuanting was angry.

"Who is the other party?" It's a heavy shot! Chen Darong said.

"I don't know, it's not an ordinary person anyway!" Chen Xuanting said.

Chen Darong was stunned for a moment, "The rivers and lakes are sinister, it's best not to offend those who shouldn't be offended!" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled indifferently, "What if the other party rides on your head?" ”

Chen Darong rubbed his bruised hands for a moment, "In the past, I would definitely save face, but now, no!" ”

Chen Xuanting: "Isn't this too tiring?" ”

Chen Darong: "I used to live alone, and it didn't matter what I did; Now that I have you, I have to live well! ”

Chen Xuanting shut up.

Chen Darong slapped him, "Wipe it yourself, you have to be ruthless, so that it will have an effect!" ”

Chen Xuanting nodded, watching Chen Darong limp into the bedroom step by step, and suddenly he spoke: "Dad......!" ”

"What?" Chen Darong turned his head.

Chen Xuanting choked back the words that came to his mouth, and then said, "It's nothing, just to remind you, take a good rest!" ”

Chen Darong's cold face showed a super warm smile, and said, "You --- rest early!" ”

"Hmm!" Chen Xuanting nodded.

The whole house is warm.

………………………

June 25, 1991.

During this time, if you ask the audience in Hong Kong, that drama is the most popular, everyone will definitely say that it is "The Legend of Lei Luo" released by Tianmu Company!

Liu Guochang, who directed this play, is definitely sharp enough, he seems to be very good at shooting this kind of movie with the theme of biography, and he can't help but put a lot of effort into the picture and language of the film, and to a large extent, he draws on the delicate shooting methods of the plot development of TV series such as "Shanghai Tang", so this drama has been loved by the Hong Kong people in terms of theme and content, and it has been a big hit at the box office.

While people love this play, they are also curious about this mysterious screenwriter who dares to create this kind of theme.

Although Chen Xuanting has never appeared in hiding, everyone learned from Andy Lau's mouth that the screenwriter of this drama turned out to be the mysterious "second master" of Tianmu Company.

In this way, people are even more bizarre, and they have asked who this "mysterious man" is.

But who knows that at this moment, this guy who is getting louder and louder is hiding in wireless as a small assistant screenwriter?!

After "The Legend of Lei Luo" came out, there were two situations, which were very good at the box office, but in terms of reviews, this movie was criticized by a considerable number of people, especially Wu Siyuan, Xiao Ruoyuan and other senior filmmakers, who fired fiercely at "The Legend of Lei Luo" from content to technique, thinking that this drama of Tianmu Company is suspected of beautifying "[***] forces". As we all know, the prototype of this drama is Inspector Lu Le, who once crisscrossed Hong Kong's black and white, this person is a corruption predator, and the wanted warrant has not been revoked so far. This movie actually portrayed him as a "affectionate and righteous" desirable police hero.

"As the seventh type of art, film should not only guide people to goodness, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of realism. If you can beautify some ugly things, it will make many people ambiguous about the real history, which is the biggest shame for a filmmaker! ”

------ the words of Wu Siyuan, chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

At this moment, Wu Siyuan has long forgotten how he deceived his brother Leslie Cheung and the jade girl Huang Xingxiu to shoot the contemptible tertiary film "Spring in Red Mansions", which is completely the style of a righteous leader in the film industry.

As the owner of Tianmu's company, Andy Lau was undoubtedly placed on the cusp of this storm of criticism.

He originally thought that after this drama came out, he would be hindered by Lu Le's old forces, who would have thought that the first to stand up would be his colleagues in the film industry!

Are they just so unkind to see their box office hits?!

Andy Lau, who has always shown a positive image of these negative reports, will never be indifferent to these negative reports, so he faced the reporter and said directly: "It is true that film is the seventh type of art. Since it is art, it is inevitable that there will be an element of fiction. If anyone confuses fiction with reality, then I can only say that the wise see the wise! What's more, now that Hong Kong movies are blooming, some people even shoot tertiary films where meat and silk meet, and no righteous people are seen to stop and whip, but in turn make a fuss about this drama, isn't this putting the cart before the horse? ! As an actor, I can only say that I am worthy of my conscience, and as a boss, I want to say that I am worthy of the employees who created this play! ”

Andy Lau's sharp answer undoubtedly caused an uproar again.

Who is Wu Siyuan? Chairman of the Academy Awards, now a pivotal boss in the film industry, Andy Lau dared to publicly call out, this scene is lively!

Sure enough, Wu Siyuan really didn't expect Andy Lau, a guy whose hair has not yet grown, to dare to refute himself. Do you really think you are the four kings of Hong Kong?! It's the other way around!

As a result, a war of public opinion began.

During this period, with the battle of public opinion, the box office of "The Legend of Lei Luo" continued to rise, and the second "Father and Son Feud" was also launched, and the box office was even more popular, which made peers drool.

At this moment, Wu Siyuan, a scheming guy, finally saw some clues, no, no matter how arrogant and arrogant Andy Lau is, he will not dare to hold on to himself; Look at it again, the more noisy it is, the hotter the box office over there----- Pu Ta's aunt, she was played by others as a Kaizi, and people are using themselves to hype their own plays!

When Wu Siyuan came to his senses, Andy Lau was counting the banknotes in the company.

, a superstar who has always been diligent, never thought that he would listen to Chen Xuanting's words and argue with Wu Siyuan, a big man in the film industry, for four or five days, and receive such a big effect.

The first and second parts of "The Legend of Lei Luo" were released in less than a month, and the box office revenue reached an astonishing 30 million!!

What is this concept?!

It's only 1991 now, and the average big-scale drama in Hong Kong is only more than 10 million a month.

But today's two dramas together reached 30 million, and it has only been released for less than a month!!

Andy Lau looked at the box office statistics and was speechless in shock.

In fact, in the history of Hong Kong films in the previous life, the "Legend of Lei Luo" series of movies, the first Hong Kong total box office exceeded 30 million, and the second exceeded 20 million, a total of 50 or 60 million! Converted into today's currency, it is more than 100 million movies.

Looking at the astonishing box office figures, Andy Lau finally recovered from the shock. After a simple calculation, in addition to the necessary expenses and the share of the cinema, the company can earn at least more than 10 million from these two dramas!

And this made Andy Lau stunned again.

As mentioned earlier, he is a diligent person by nature, and he has always believed that he can get as much as he puts in, even if the "Ninety-one Condor Heroes" he invested in is a box office hit, he only earns one or two million, so he is already beautiful, but now, his two dramas have earned tens of millions! What is this concept?! Suddenly, Andy Lau had a feeling that it was too unreal!

It's too easy to get the money!

It would be false to say that Andy Lau didn't want to make money when he started Tianmu Company, but now he is making so much money at once, and he needs to shoot more than a dozen dramas to earn it, which makes him a little at a loss.

Born in poverty, he is deeply rooted in the concept of "pay is proportional to gain", and for a while, he really can't turn around.

But everything is real! Let him have to believe. finally started to get excited, and then picked up the phone and called Chen Xuanting. After all, this guy is the real behind-the-scenes leader of these two dramas.

I thought that Chen Xuanting would be very happy when he heard him say that the box office was a big hit, but Chen Xuanting on the other side of the phone seemed very calm, neither particularly happy nor excited, but just smiled and said: "Very good!" ”

Very good, just these three words, Andy Lau couldn't help but shake his head, this guy is really not an ordinary person, there is no so-called joy, anger and sorrow at all.

"You don't have anything else to say?"

"Yes, take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and shoot the script I wrote for you!"

"Las Vegas Tycoon?"

"Yes!" Chen Xuanting has the meaning of cherishing words like gold.

"It's going to be a big hit?"

"It should be!" Chen Xuanting popped out three more words. Then there was silence.

However, Andy Lau still said on the phone: "That, Ah Ting, there is something I want to tell you, I am going to hold a celebration banquet the day after tomorrow, you must come no matter what!" ”

Chen Xuanting paused obviously, "It's not appropriate for me to come." ”

"Why is it not appropriate, you are also the boss of Tianmu, and you have contributed the most to the blockbuster of this movie!"

"I don't want to reveal my identity too soon!"

"Don't worry, I'll just say that you are a friend of my hometown, and no one will know that you are an investor!"

Hearing Andy Lau say this, Chen Xuanting said: "Okay, if I can walk away here, I will definitely go!" ”

"Are you busy? Hehe, you must arrive anyway, and I won't open the table until I don't have it! Andy Lau hung up the phone, and he was in a very happy mood. For him, Chen Xuanting's so-called busyness may be just some excuses. In fact, he really misunderstood Chen Xuanting.

After Chen Xuanting hung up the phone, he thought about it for a while, and made a call to Da Sixi in Wan Chai, telling him about the company's profitability, and saying that the one million he invested had doubled, should he take it out? The senior happily closed his mouth on the phone, saying what to take and continue to let them lay eggs! Then he thanked Chen Xuanting even more for a while, and said that he didn't see the wrong person, Chen Xuanting was really his lucky star, and said that he wanted to invite guests to drink tea and eat Yunyun, but Chen Xuanting refused.

At this moment, Chen Xuanting believes that this big four happiness will never be able to do without himself in the future, after all, interests are above all else, and interests are the last word!

By chance, he also had a certain amount of bargaining chips in the community, although the place was limited to the area of Wan Chai, but Chen Xuanting believed that one day, it would spread throughout Hong Kong and even ...... China.
