Since the early morning of July 15, all the theaters in Hong Kong have been full every day, and about 4 million citizens in Hong Kong have walked into the theaters to see the king style of "Ip Man 2". [No pop-up novel network]

"It's worth it! "Ip Man 2" is the best movie I've watched in recent years. When a citizen came out of the theater with his family, he happened to meet a reporter from TVB News Station, facing the camera, the citizen said excitedly: "Wang Xiaohu played well, the actor played well, and the storyline was moving." ”

"This movie is very real and sincere, completely different from most movies now, although there is no excitement of jumping off a building or flying car, but it is comfortable and refreshing to watch."

"It can be seen that Wang Xiaohu has put a lot of effort into the movie, and many of the billboards in the movie can be verified, and we also ate tofu from Kowloon Tofu Workshop back then!" This citizen is obviously a Hong Kong stone.

"I'm going to learn Wing Chun and fight foreign devils like Ip Man!" A child hugged his father's thigh and begged.

My father was forced to have no choice but to say: "Now that there are foreign devils to let you fight, they are all about to get out of Hong Kong!" ”

As soon as "Ip Man 2" was released, it immediately became the focus of discussion among Hong Kong people, not only at the entrance of the theater, but also in tea restaurants, restaurants, food stalls, cafes, schools and other places, all aspects of the movie plot, actors, and martial arts were discussed.

At a café on Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok, a few customers who have ordered Mandarin Duck (a special drink made in Hong Kong) are chatting.

"I feel that Ip Man is too bad, it took so much effort to bring down the tornado!" A young man said while drinking mandarin ducks.

"Have you watched too many hero movies?" The companion retorted.

"No, I'm wondering, Ip Man clearly had the upper hand in the first two rounds, why did he promise the referee not to use his feet?" Xiao Young scratched his head and said depressedly: "You must know that Chinese martial arts and boxing are completely different concepts, Chinese martial arts are far fighting, close take, close falling, why do you have to follow the rules of boxing!" ”

"That's right, I only remembered it as soon as you said it, and we didn't stipulate that foreigners only use fists, not feet!" Another companion immediately said, "Tornadoes can also use their feet, that's fair." ”

"Foreign devils can't afford to lose!" Xiao Qing spat and said: "If they are allowed to use their feet, is it still boxing?" ”

"Anyway, Ip Man won in the end!" The companion patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Don't be depressed, drink tea, drink tea, and then you have to go to training, and strive to win the qualifying tournament in Kowloon first." ”

Discussions are in full swing in Hong Kong, and the mainland side is even more lively than Hong Kong.

One of them is quite interesting: when the audience in Yanjing watched it, they couldn't help but applaud, and the Jingmen praised the "Huayang Boxing Match" at the end of the film, which was like saying to Hong Kong people: Good job, you have won glory for our China!

That is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Jingmen pay attention to the national righteousness, Chinese martial arts and other plots, often can win their favor, and they are cool to watch, so they will naturally not be stingy with applause and word of mouth.

The south, especially in Guangdong, is also very lively when watching movies, after all, they are the closest to Hong Kong, and they have similarities in language, food culture, and blood relationship.

So when Hong Kong people are collectively nostalgic and reminiscing, the audience in Guangdong is also easier to integrate into Ip Man's life, rather than the passionate ring match, Ip Man from Foshan, Guangdong to Hong Kong, life is difficult, but he maintains an optimistic attitude towards life, this is undoubtedly the prototype of the Lion Rock spirit, many Cantonese people still know more about the so-called Hong Kong spirit.

The audience in Shandong, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Henan also applauded when watching, but they applauded for the real martial arts effect in the film.

For a time, there was an endless stream of people studying in several major schools, this was the second round of national martial arts craze after the release of "Shaolin Temple", the difference is that that this time only specifically promoted Shaolin Temple, so that Shaolin Temple made a lot of money, but this time it made Split Hanging Boxing, Baguazhang, Tai Chi, Wing Chun out of the limelight.

Therefore, the sports committees of various provinces and cities immediately contacted several major schools and directly established corresponding martial arts training schools with the help of "Ip Man 2", which can not only support the development of martial arts, but also revitalize the local tourism industry and increase local economic income, which can be described as a three-pronged approach.

At the same time, it also opened the eyes of some sects and boxers who did not respond to the "Chinese martial arts rescue plan", it turned out that through the publicity of the movie, there was such a great effect on the promotion of boxing and sects, and it was seen that those who practiced boxing in other provinces were supported, and they simply no longer hid it, in addition to strengthening the body, who doesn't want to have a good income, after all, there is now a political axe to support, unlike a few years ago.

The audience in the mainland watched the excitement, and the young people were clamoring to learn Wing Chun, Tai Chi, gossip, etc., and the various sects were ready to become the second "Shaolin Temple".

Several old professors who cooperated with Wang Xiaohu in the filming of "Myth" and "Mulan" were not idle, everyone sat together, this expert said: "Xin Qiji said that men are as dead as iron, watch the trial harvest, make up for the cracks in the sky, in the face of the provocation of foreigners, Master Hong chose to face, he used his death to defend the dignity of Chinese martial arts, this is the sacrifice of his body to the country, death seems to be home, I would rather die standing than sit and live." ”

The professor of literature said: "Mr. Lu Xun said: A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and dare to face the dripping blood, in this regard, whether it is Master Hong or Ip Man, they are all real men and good men!" ”

When the old professor of Yenching Film Academy heard this, he simply didn't speak, and immediately issued a notice when he returned to the school after drinking tea: All students will go to the screening room of the college to watch "Ip Man 2" collectively tonight, whether it is a lecturer or a student, they must write their impressions from a professional point of view, especially the classes that are about to graduate, and take "Ip Man 2" as a thesis.

Okay, now the film academy immediately fried the pot, and they all went to call Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others at work, who made them Wang Xiaohu's protégés.

This one said: "Zhang Yimou, I want to invite Mr. Wang to class, and I will take care of your food expenses for a month." ”

The one said: "Chen Kaige, as long as you invite Mr. Wang to open a small stove in us, I will give you a free nanny for a week." ”

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, these graduates suddenly became fragrant and sweet, after a few guys communicated privately, Zhang Yimou came forward and called Wang Xiaohu nervously, Wang Xiaohu heard the intention, and directly trained him on the phone: "What should I do, if you can't find an iron rice bowl in China, you will come to Hong Kong!" ”

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly hung up the phone, and never mentioned the matter of opening a small stove for his younger brother and younger sister

A week after the release of "Ip Man 2", the Hong Kong box office reached 8 million, directly squeezing films such as "Modern Yamen", "Flower Heart", and "Xi'an Incident" released at the same time off the box office list, doubling the pressure on the upcoming films such as "Seven Wrong Loves" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace".

No way, Wang Xiaohu's signboard is too loud, although he didn't put his work on the Academy Awards to win the trophy, but as long as his movie comes out, the first place in the box office list of the Hong Kong film industry will definitely not be able to run, and if he doesn't win the award, he won't be comforted by the box office?

Xu Junlong took a stack of forms, knocked on the president's office, walked in and said, "Brother Tiger, the weekly box office data of Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia are here." ”

"How much?" Wang Xiaohu didn't raise his head, and was tinkering with the script of "The Prequel of Ip Man".

"If converted into Hong Kong dollars, there are 3 million in Macau, 6 million in Taiwan, and 2.7 million in Thailand," Xu Junlong reported various data in detail, and finally concluded: "The total box office in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia is currently 27.35 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"Not bad!" Wang Xiaohu nodded: "I believe that in a month, this data will increase, if you add the box office of the mainland, Yueben, and South Korea, maybe it will be able to break the internal record of Concord and International." ”

Since the separation and reorganization of Concord International, in order to encourage Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Huang Baiming, Xu Guanwen and other subsidiaries, an internal box office list has been specially established.

Xu Junlong is the person in charge of the Propaganda Department, and it is easy to deduce from a week's data that he is about to break the record, and now he has been confirmed from Brother Hu, and he is very happy in his heart, and he howls a little, and he goes out to report the good news, and it is definitely a great thing to have a bonus.

"Wait, don't hurry!" Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and beckoned the anxious Xu Junlong back: "Don't be happy yet, the Propaganda Department has been working overtime in the past few days to finish the fighting competition, and prepare a planning plan, Hong Kong Wing Chun Gate will have cultural exchanges with the mainland's Wing Chun Gate." When will these things be done, and you will have a holiday. ”

"Huh?" Xu Junlong grinned and left the office with a sad face.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, lowered his head and wrote the script of "The Prequel of Ip Man", but without writing a few words, the phone in the office rang.

"Boss, tell you a good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Lao Wen's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Hehe, let's hear the bad news first." Wang Xiaohu didn't even want to say it.

"Well, I thought you'd choose good news." Winter Dur smacked his lips and said: "The bad news is a bit troublesome, after the release of "Ip Man 2" in North America, the two major boxing council associations of the United States WBA and WBC sent us an invitation letter, thinking that some of the plots in the film are not true, and they want to organize a real Huayang boxing match to prove that boxing is the greatest combat sport in the world." ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Wang Xiaohu frowned.

"Sure, I'll fax the invitation right away, and you'll know it's true once you've seen it." "Boss, this is a troublesome matter, and I feel like it should be resolved through the champion Ali. ”

"No, no!" Wang Xiaohu suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect someone to be more serious, but this is not bad news." ”
