"I heard that the response is very good, when will it be released online?" Jia Yuyao asked excitedly in the microphone.

Yang Lin hummed and said: "At seven o'clock tonight, Xiang Huaqiang has several theaters and Red Star Cinemas that will be screened across the board, with a total of 25 theaters. ”

"Hehe," Jia Yuyao chuckled, "Don't worry, I believe in you, you are the best!" ”

Yang Lin pouted: "I have a fart heart, I haven't worried about the box office at all." ”

Jia Yuyao snorted: "Are you very good?" I'm too lazy to talk to you, I'm hanging, and I'll have time to go back and see you. ”

Yang Lin said softly: "Kiss me." ”

"Get out! Rogue! ”

Yang Lin put down the phone with a smile, picked up a stack of newspapers on the table, and flipped through them casually.

The front page of almost all newspapers was devoted to "The True Colors of Heroes", and most of them were full of praise for "The True Colors of Heroes". Of course, there are also a few people who jump out to sing the opposite tune and disgusting people, such as "Sing Tao Yuebao".

"It is self-evident what kind of impact a film with bloody violence will have on society. It is undeniable that this movie by 'entertainment genius' Yang Lin is definitely a black film that can be called a classic. Help the film, there is no doubt about success. But what I want to say is, as long as it is to make money, some people can use a lot of super violent means to talk about a black without scrutiny. Help stories, or even sing hymns, and call them heroes? When this movie has a powerful negative impact on teenagers and the public, will some people still be able to count their money at home? Let's keep our eyes open, look at the ugly faces of those people who have no sense of public morality and no sense of social responsibility, and let's resist it together! ”

This is the comment of "Sing Tao Yuebao" on "The True Color of Heroes", which made Yang Lin very unhappy. This has gone out of the category of news commentary, and it is simply red. Bare. Naked life attack, how can Yang Lin not be angry? But there's no way to be angry, people have the guidance of **, and you can't refute it if you want to.

Yang Lin frowned, and a thought turned in his heart.

"Hey dude, is there any mistake, I have been queuing for a long time, and you told me that there are no tickets?"

"That's it, didn't you say it earlier if you didn't have a ticket? I'm going to change it! ”

"You open a theater to eat dry food? Someone watched the play and said that there was no ticket? Crazy line! ”

At the door of every house in Hong Kong that is ready to screen "The True Color of Heroes", the queue to buy tickets is dozens of meters, and the most outrageous is a cinema in Tsim Sha Tsui East, where the long queue actually goes all the way to the bus stop 80 meters away.

A black sedan drove slowly on the side of the street, and Jiahe bigwigs Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang sat in the back seat, looking at the long queue of people on the street through the glass, silent.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a spectacular scene, and our play "Lucky Stars" wasn't so spectacular when it was released, right?" Zou Wenhuai said with a little emotion.

He Guanchang said slowly thoughtfully: "It stands to reason that this kind of scene will only occur when a drama is well-received. But now that "The True Color of Heroes" has not been released at all, it has been sought after by so many people, and Yang Lin's propaganda method of the loser is really powerful. ”

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone is scolding him for being a loser, at that time, this guy probably hid in the corner and looked at those people, snickering with disdain, right?" ”

He Guanchang also smiled: "It's almost, this kid is doing these tricks, there are really few people in Hong Kong who are opponents, but I don't know how the filming is?" "On the day of the midnight show, he went on a business trip and did not attend.

"It's not enough to say it's the best, but at least it's first-class, and there are few Hong Kong directors who are better than him." Zou Wenhuai said lightly.

"Oh?" He Guanchang was really taken aback, Zou Wenhuai was very arrogant and had a very high vision, and he had almost never praised a person so much.

Zou Wenhuai smiled and leaned back on the saddle: "I'm ready, this "Xia Yue Fuxing" is probably not the opponent of "The True Colors of Heroes". After a pause, he sighed a little embarrassed: "Back then, we were dissatisfied with the system and practices of the Shaw Brothers, and we formed our own Jiahe, which made Shao Tycoon embarrassed. Then the rise of New Arts City, the box office of several films set records, and Hong Kong films became a three-legged trend. I thought that Shao Daheng withdrew from the film industry, and from then on it would be a fight to the death in Golden Harvest New Art City. Who would have expected that this Yang Lin would come out of nowhere, and he would actually buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas and dominate one side. first "Assembly Number", and then "The True Color of Heroes", Yang Lin is menacing, and the picture is not small. ”

He Guanchang groaned: "The newspaper said that Lei Juekun intends to join forces with Yang Lin and unite the two major theaters to snipe us, what do you think?" ”

Last night, Lei Juekun participated in the midnight show of "The True Color of Heroes", and this morning the newspapers were already clamoring, and it became the most sensational event in Hong Kong.

Zou Wenhuai's gray eyebrows lifted: "There's no need to worry, Yang Lin won't join forces with him." ”

"Why?" He Guanchang said strangely, he was not surprised by Zou Wenhuai's judgment, but strange Zou Wenhuai's affirmation when he said this.

"Do you remember what Yang Lin said? What do you think about not directing more than two films a year? Zou Wenhuai asked rhetorically.

He Guanchang was stunned, he had heard of this, but he had never thought deeply about the meaning.

Zou Wenhuai asked himself and replied: "Yang Lin is not as high as his achievements and how many records he has set, although now it seems that he does have that level. What he wants is a team, a team, and a force. I don't know exactly what he's trying to do, but I can say for sure that he doesn't care how much his film sells, only how strong his team can be. ”

He Guanchang was shocked: "Could it be?"

Zou Wenhuai frowned and said slowly: "Maybe Yang Lin has the same ideas and goals as us, but his methods are different from ours. We picked up Li Xiaolong with one hand and Cheng Long with the other, because we wanted to rely on the star strategy to open up the international market. And Yang Lin's approach, I think he wants to take a completely different path: to pick up the director? ”

It's a pity that Yang Lin is not here and didn't hear Zou Wenhuai's words. Otherwise, Yang Lin would definitely give a thumbs up and praise: half of the guess was right!

The audience who was waiting outside the theater looked at the door of the theater and felt as if time had frozen.

Finally, the director of the first scene ended, and the audience in the theater walked out talking loudly one by one, and immediately waited to enter the theater and asked: "How is it?" "They've all seen the poster and trailer, and they're looking forward to the film, but they're also a little nervous: can this be as good as the trailer?

"How? One word: cool! ”

"It's so enjoyable!"

"I've never seen such a thrilling movie, damn it!"

The audience waiting to enter the arena was itchy for a while, but when they looked at the people who were in their next row, they became angry again.

There are no surprises in the popularity of "The True Color of Heroes", but it is a surprise to everyone, including Yang Lin. There is no accident, which means that almost all film critics in Hong Kong have always been optimistic about this drama, and to everyone's surprise, it means that the popularity of "The True Color of Heroes" far exceeds everyone's psychological expectations.

The original plan was for each theater to start showing seven times a day from 9 a.m. until 1 a.m. However, after word of mouth from the audience, "The True Color of Heroes" has become a "can't be seen without watching" film, and a large number of audiences flocked to the cinema to complain because they couldn't buy tickets.

The theater chain had no choice but to rearrange the screening schedule, starting at 8 a.m. and ending at 2 a.m., with eight screenings a day, and all the theater staff were almost sleepless. Even so, the surging audience was still enthusiastic, and the audience who couldn't buy tickets was loudly dissatisfied.

Why do so many people watch "True Colors of Heroes"? How many people are there in Hong Kong? The reason is: this film has surpassed the point of "you can't watch it" and reached the supreme state of "you can't watch it once".

You only have to look at the trench coats and sunglasses all over the street, everyone walks with toothpicks in their mouths, and everyone opens their mouths with lines like "I am God" to know how big the impact of "True Colors of Heroes" is.

"The True Color of Heroes" has a total of Red Star Cinemas and several theaters controlled by Xiang Huaqiang, reaching 25 theaters to be released simultaneously. The average ticket price is 20 yuan, and there are 25 theaters, each with an average of 800 seats. In the first week of its release, the box office has exceeded 20 million, and the momentum has not diminished, and it is still hot. In this case, no one doubts that "True Colors of Heroes" will win the box office champion of this year, only whether it will break the box office record.

Other films released at the same time are outright tragic. The first is Xinyicheng's "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", which was released on July 4, with a box office of more than 3 million in three days, and Gao Zhishen, the director who was able to shoot the classic "Happy Ghost" in Xinyicheng, almost hit the wall. Huang Baiming's painstaking efforts to create the "Happy Girl Group" lost their armor and failed.

Golden Harvest even held a special meeting for this to discuss whether to postpone the release plan of "Weilong Detective" to avoid the unstoppable popularity of "True Colors of Heroes". Zuo Hou or Zou Wenhuai's generous sentence "Defeat must be a dignified defeat on the battlefield" dispelled this proposal and released it according to the original plan.

The popularity of "True Colors of Heroes" in Hong Kong has spread throughout Asian countries through the media. Originally, he had been hesitant to rub the proportion with Red Star Pictures, and the Dongbao Cinema immediately sent someone to negotiate and win the screening rights of "The True Colors of Heroes" in Yueben at all costs.

Yang Lin sat in the office, complacent, but secretly sighed. How many classic movies can there be in Hong Kong? It's all plagiarized by yourself, what about the others? Plagiarizing the classics for himself was not his original intention. He just wanted to set off a wave at a time, a wave of pioneering and enterprising, and the courage to create.

For a movie, there are many factors for success, actors, directors, production, and even the release schedule will have an impact on the movie. However, Yang Lin has always believed that the core of a movie is the script. No matter what kind of film, his essence is a story. Only a good story can make the audience flock to it and be fascinated. Movies made with big-name stars and super productions, even if they can be a sensation, will never become a classic.

Why can "Infernal Affairs" fight a sunny day at the lowest decadence of Hong Kong films, and make people sigh as "the savior of Hong Kong films"? No matter how many billions of dollars "Avatar" swept at the box office, it still can't replace the classic status of "Titanic" in people's hearts. Ten years later, all people remember is Avatar's awesome 3D special effects and crazy box office, and who remembers what kind of story it told? The super visual effects blockbuster stacked with advanced technology can't shake the poignant and moving love story of "Titanic".

Only the script is the flesh and blood of a movie, and the soul that can move people's hearts!

Yang Lin looked at the busy employees outside the window, and the corners of his lips provoked a smile!

Hollywood, it's time to plagiarize you! (To be continued.) )
