Man can be destroyed, but not defeated. 【】》

Yi Xiujia, a special reporter for film and television criticism of "Ming Pao", expressed his views on "A Tiger" with this title: "The theme of Hemingway's immortal masterpiece "The Old Man and the Sea" was reinterpreted by the Hong Kong film "A Tiger", and the ending is embarrassing, but as far as I am concerned, the thinking brought by this film is not just a simple copy of "The Old Man and the Sea". While the struggles faced by the characters are similar, the emotional backgrounds of the characters are different. The old man is just an old man, he has no worries, and he comes and goes empty; Ah Hu is not just a boxer, he is also Ploy's father and the nun's new boyfriend. ”

In this famous saying, in fact, it should be based on a kind of either/or victory struggle outlook on life. However, from the perspective of a person's entire life, it is difficult to say that there are any winners and losers. 'What if you lose and win the world?' It was sung over and over again. I think it has something to do with the many elements of life, life can't just be a fishing and a boxing fight. One can do his best in a single element, and win at all costs, at least to earn himself the dignity of eternal immortality. But once you enter a certain multi-element context, you can't speak in such a high-profile manner. It has to be weighed, and it has to be at the expense of the achievement of a certain element to seek the harmony and synergy of the whole. And like "Ah Hu", Ah Hu on stage did not hesitate to prove himself with his family name, the audience ploy cried like tearing, the nun burst into tears, Ah Hu completed his self-sublimation and lost a lot of things that are more worthy of his cherishing than boxing. ”

"So, 'The Old Man and the Sea' is a single element. It's more like a football game. With the old guys on one side and the Sharks on the other, the game is coming to an end, the outcome is in the balance for a long time, everyone is exhausted, everyone is still running. Can't lose! Don't lose! And "Ah Hu" is multi-elemental. It's not a ball game. Those who know football well will know a phrase that is often mentioned in European football: "Football is not everything. "Last-minute grabbing at the risk of self-injury or injury to the opposing goalkeeper is not encouraged. Everyone still has a future life, as well as a wife and children. Relatively speaking, I am looking forward to the second ending of "A Tiger", and I don't know what kind of way Wang Xiaohu will use to resolve this seemingly simple but contemplative topic. ”

Yi Xiujia's thousand-word film review article was quickly sought after by most citizens, of course, there are many opposing voices, and here "Hong Kong Women's Daily" reporter Zhang Meijuan seems to be on the right hand with Yi Xiujia.

Zhang Meijuan believes that "it is undeniable that Wang Xiaohu has earned everyone's tears this time, but also threw down a heavy topic, just after I watched "A Hu" for the third time, I was still shocked by the end of the film, and moved, Ah Hu has taken on too much, only in the boxing ring can he truly realize his own redemption, to PIM, to Ploy, to the nun, to everyone related to Muay Thai, he must complete his unfinished things in the ring, and finally achieve self-redemption, Stuck in the ring until the last moment. ”

"It was at that moment that I felt the essence of what Wang Xiaohu wanted to express through the film, just like an ignorant child who suddenly opened his mind, really, I found that I understood a lot of concepts that were vague before. To be a man is to be like this, to be worthy of your heart, to be worthy of yourself, and to be worthy of the person who loves you, so that life can be meaningful. ”

In addition, it is worth praising Zhao Yazhi, who knows how to grasp some subtle bits to express the emotions and thoughts of the character, a smile, a look or a simple body-language, which is also a soothing point for tension in the movie. Of course, Weng Meiling, who plays Ah Hu's daughter Ploy, is eye-catching. ”

A reporter who angrily denounced Wang Xiaohu in front of the media and dragon fans a year ago published a very interesting article.

"I saw another tiger in Ah Hu"

Although the name sounds a little tongue-twisting, the article is written in a sprinkling manner, "There are many people who say that after Bruce Lee's death, Hong Kong movies died, but I don't think so!" When Bruce Lee was alive, it was the most dazzling moment of Hong Kong films, just like Ah Hu was invincible in the ring when he was young, and the old feeling on Ah Hu's face when he was imprisoned and released from prison is a metaphor for the downturn and overwhelm of Hong Kong films after Bruce Lee's death. Ah Hu insisted miserably in the ring, implying the darkest struggle of Hong Kong movies, from which we can see how tormented Wang Xiaohu was at that time, fortunately, Ah Hu won, Wang Xiaohu won, Hong Kong movies are reborn to welcome a new beginning, Wang Xiaohu, you are the best! ”

After seeing this article, Wang Xiaohu grinned smirkly, to be honest, he admired this dragon fan reporter called Lobster, although he didn't know if it was his real name, but just this ability to talk nonsense shows that he has profound skills, God knows that Wang Xiaohu just filmed "Ah Hu" because he likes "Ah Hu", which is not as great as Lobster said, and he also admires Lobster for being able to "misinterpret" simple questions into such complex and convincing. Although it is made up, Wang Xiaohu likes it very much!

According to incomplete statistics, about 800 theaters in the United States were released at the same time, with an attendance rate of 75%, as the oriental version of "Rocky", we see that Tiger has created a plump father fighter for us, and the inspirational tone of the film is in the same vein as "Rocky", deducing the complex surname, multi-faceted surname and hot-blooded surname of the Oriental, many people think that Tiger's performance is as pure as fire, There is a good chance of being nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor. This Oriental has set off another whirlwind of Muay Thai in the United States, what an amazing guy! "Los Angeles Newspaper reporter Ben. Fox was patting his asses in the newspaper.

The controversy caused by the ending of "A Tiger" has been boiling in the newspapers for several days, and with the heated discussions of major newspapers, the audience has a lot of interest in the second ending held by Wang Xiaohu, and strongly asks Wang Xiaohu to release the second version of "A Tiger" as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, at least after the first version is finished!" Wang Xiaohu smiled evilly and said to the anxious reporters, the reporters were angry on the spot when they heard the words, you Wang Xiaohu is too bad, bad to the bones, this is obviously to cause a boom in the second round of releases!

That's right, Wang Xiaohu thought like this, he had already thought about it when he was preparing the two endings, and there was no opponent in this year's summer file, so he used this way to add the time of the film's release, that is, to use the controversy brought by the first version to pave the way for the second round of release, and I believe that the box office of "A Hu" will show a second peak period.

Hong Kong's local box office has steadily exceeded 12 million in 15 days, and the strong data has made other cinema chains greedy, especially several cinema owners under Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest has not shown the slightest action in the past six months, and its 60 theaters can only rely on the release of other small companies' films to survive, after several discussions, some bold and strong economic foundation tried to introduce "A Tiger" to be released, which soon pulled up the popularity of the theater, and several other theater owners saw that Golden Harvest could still calm down, and ignored this, and now had the courage to go to Wang Xiaohu to talk about the introduction of the film.

Wang Xiaohu personally received them in the conference room of the Concord Company, many of these bosses are Wang Xiaohu's old friends, when "Jingwumen" and "Raptors Across the River" were released, these bosses all made great efforts, but then the relationship between the two companies deteriorated, they rarely contacted, two years have passed, when the little dragon and tiger martial artist of Golden Harvest Company has become a tycoon of Hong Kong films, these bosses are particularly emotional in their hearts, and they also seem a little sincere and fearful in front of Wang Xiaohu.

"Boss Liu, Boss Zhang, Boss Tan, Boss Lei." Wang Xiaohu looked at the familiar old faces on the other side of the conference table, and greeted him with a smile, whenever he called out a person's surname, those bosses stood up with a smile on their faces and said hello, and they were particularly respectful to Wang Xiaohu.

"Don't be so restrained by a few bosses, I know very well everyone's intentions." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, but several bosses had to be restrained, because Wang Xiaohu's status is different now, people are now tycoons, we are here to ask people to do things, and I don't know if people will put up a shelf to settle old accounts.

Wang Xiaohu seemed to see through the thoughts of several people, and then said: "There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests, since everyone is mixed in this circle, we have no intention of pushing the business outward, in fact, I am personally very happy to work with you to make a fortune." ”

"Huh~" Several bosses were relieved when they heard this, and their hearts were filled with joy, and they were just about to enter the key link of the negotiation to discuss box office dividends, so they heard Wang Xiaohu say: "This time, everyone has the first cooperation, if you feel that cooperating with my Concord Company can bring huge profits to your theater, I hope everyone can invest in Concord Company, I don't know how many people think?" ”

"Boss Wang, what are you talking about" Boss Zhang's eyes widened and he asked blankly.

"Hehe, I couldn't have said that more simply. I hope that everyone can join the cinema company under Concord, wouldn't it be good to make a fortune together? Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course, I won't force everyone to express their stance immediately, you can wait for the film to be painted and discuss it together to give me an answer. ”

Wang Xiaohu's first knife at Jiahe Company finally swung it
