315 Concord makes a comeback to the film industry

Although the development of history has advanced, it has basically developed in the direction of Wang Xiaohu's memory, and the fiasco of Golden Harvest's "New Jingwumen" is not enough to arouse the vigilance of other small film companies, they think that since they have invested, they should naturally get back some profits. 【】

Many bosses who indirectly acquired Jingwumen, Jeet Kune Do, and Bruce Lee vs. XX series scripts from Wang Xiaohu did not flinch, and they hired the remaining "Bruce Lee" who were screened by Golden Harvest to shoot more than a dozen related movies in the shortest possible time, and they were looking for theatrical release.

Originally, they thought that no theater would take over, but Wang Xiaohu and Shaw Brothers agreed very happily this time, and even gave up the summer files of some medium-sized theaters to arrange the release of the film, which made those bosses happy, and they couldn't wait to put Wang Xiaohu's tablet at home to get up early and go to bed late.

I didn't know that Wang Xiaohu was even happier than them, hiding in the gap between the filming in the crew and looking at the sky and smirking, making everyone think that this guy had a nymphomaniac or something, Weng Meiling was even more direct, pulling Zhao Yazhi's arm and saying: "Sister Zhi, do you see if Brother Xiaohu has changed his mind." ”

Zhao Yazhi asked curiously, "Where did you see that he had changed his mind?" ”

"Isn't it said in books and movies, as long as a man or woman giggles for more than a minute, he must be thinking about a different surname, you see that Brother Xiaohu's current performance is not wrong at all." Weng Meiling blinked her eyes wide, and reminded with some concern: "So Sister Zhi, you have to be careful recently, especially after getting off work, staring at him to see if he is going out to fool around, if he catches him, it will be even better, I promise that he will be obedient to you from now on." ”

"Ah Weng" Zhao Yazhi really had nothing to say now, she opened her mouth and laughed, and only giggled after a long time, Weng Meiling was confused, she said seriously with a small face: "Sister Ah Zhi, what people say is true, if you don't believe it, forget it, even laugh at me." ”

"No, Ah Weng, listen to me, hehe." Zhao Yazhi smiled and leaned back, tried several times before controlling his smile and said: "Your little brother is not such a flowery carrot, he is a rare good man in the world, I believe he will not do that kind of thing." ”

"Cut, if you don't believe it, we'll see." Weng Meiling pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "Then why is he smirking there?" ”

"I can guess some, but I can't tell you right now."

"Oh, good sister, tell me quickly."

Throughout July, the citizens of Hong Kong have eye blessings, but this kind of eye blessing is torture for them, they have experienced more than a dozen mental destruction in just one month, from the beginning of July "Jingwu Dragon Fist", "Intercepting Fist Brother", "Jing Wu Soul" to mid-July "Li Sanjiao Shocking Hell Gate", "Bruce Lee vs. Superman", "Bruce Lee vs. Vampire", "Bruce Lee Dominating the Pyramid", and then to "Tower of Death", "Death Tower", "Death Tower", "Death Tower" at the end of July

Although the small bosses have long been psychologically prepared, they have lowered the ticket price and extended the time of leasing the theater, and even lost money to invite fans to watch it for free in the end, but the fans would rather hide at home, you just give us money, and we won't go to the theater to suffer, what kind of fucking movie is this, one is more disgusting than the other, one is more unreliable than the other, and one is more torturous than the other!

The citizens have seen enough, and when they mention those movies imitating Bruce Lee, they vomit, and they are even tortured to the point of nervous breakdown, and they smell the "free movies" to the point of changing color, which shows how strong this crooked wind is, how strong it is to strengthen the public's visual nervous system.

The major newspapers also gradually gave up these reports from the earliest criticism and accusation to the last familiarity, but Jin Yong made a special trip to Wang Xiaohu's home to visit Wang Xiaohu when this crooked wind passed, and asked Wang Xiaohu why Hong Kong films were so deformed.

Wang Xiaohu combined the indirectness of history and his own experience, and replied like this: "The ancients said that things must be reversed, and prosperity must decline, and the development of Hong Kong martial arts films is now the third stage of the period, which is the process of moving from prosperity to decline, which is a natural law of the development of things. ”

"In fact, this kind of decline did not come suddenly one day, the apex of ** is the starting point of weakness, some people say that the sudden death of Brother Xiaolong is the first period of Hong Kong films, and it is also a turning point for movies from prosperity to decline, and it is also a symbolic sign, I want to say that this is not unreasonable." Wang Xiaohu said that there was some sadness here: "But some people value Brother Xiaolong's remaining box office appeal and want to make profits from it, which is destined to be impossible, first, the hero will no longer come, and no one can replace Brother Xiaolong's position in everyone's minds, second, most people only value Brother Xiaolong's glorious era, and do not see the hardships he once worked hard in Hollywood, and third, some Hong Kong filmmakers have gone a little too far, and squandered the only remaining market value. This has led to a tragedy that is now irreparable. ”

Jin Yong nodded and agreed with Wang Xiaohu's analysis, and he asked with a serious face: "As one of the former leaders of Hong Kong films, how do you think Hong Kong films should break through this strange circle?" ”

"Quite simply, there is no other way but to innovate!" Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "But innovation always has to bear a part of the price, you see I haven't opened for three months now." ”

"But you're not idle, you're filming a TV series with Shaw Brothers." When Jin Yong said this, he suddenly asked with some curiosity: "Xiaohu, I feel a little strange, why is the Jingwumen series now in a sluggish popularity, and you still insist on filming this kind of TV series, aren't you afraid that everyone will not be able to accept you?" ”

"Hehe, I'm different from them." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "I have a lot of advantages in this regard, first of all, I am a screenwriter, and the scripts of several films filmed by Brother Xiaolong in the later period were made by me, and I was born as a Dragon and Tiger martial artist, and most of Brother Xiaolong's martial arts movements were also designed by me, and more importantly, I know Jeet Kune Do, I understand Jeet Kune Do style!" So I'm not worried about the ratings of the TV series, because I'm confident that the audience can see the real spirit of martial arts. ”

"Hearing you say that, I feel like I have some sense." Jin Yong thought a little, today's interview made him gain a lot, he heard a lot of unique indirect and analysis from Wang Xiaohu, and expressed his admiration for Wang Xiaohu's profound research in film.

"When are you going to make a comeback? I'm referring to you on the film side. ”

Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "Recently, maybe tomorrow may not be clear." This is extremely reasonable, the post-production of "The Loser" has been completed for about two months, and "Drunken Fist" has also entered the third recalibration period. However, Wang Xiaohu decided to wait a little longer, when some people were in a hurry.

Wang Xiaohu is waiting for no one else, it is Zou Wenhuai, who has been sick for a month in the hospital, after careful care by nurses and Yuan Xihua, his condition has finally been stabilized, and now he can go to work normally, today is the day he was discharged from the hospital, and on the first day he returned to the company, he came to Du Huidong to ask about the company's recent situation.

Du Huidong truthfully replied that the company has been very calm recently, and the "Game of Death" that Warner is filming has come to an end, and is intensively doing post-production. Zou Wenhuai sighed when he heard this, grabbed the newspaper on the table and seemed to be his habit of reading newspapers every day, and when he saw the special commentary article published by Jin Yong in "Ming Pao", he was shocked.

"Adu, why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing happening outside when I was hospitalized!" Zou Wenhuai refers to the imitation and crooked trends that have recently appeared in Hong Kong movies, these things have been specially told by Yuan Xihua and the hospital, because his condition is unstable, for fear that he will aggravate his condition after reading the newspaper, so he has been concealing, covering up, and covering up.

Du Huidong is also one of the insiders, seeing him ask like this, his nervous forehead began to sweat, and he didn't know how to answer, just when he was in a hurry, Yuan Xihua pushed the door in, and said calmly: "This matter is instructed by me, it has nothing to do with them, if you want to lose your temper, just target me." ”

When Du Huidong heard the gratitude in his heart, he quietly left. Yuan Xihua sighed and walked over and said, "Ah Huai, you have to control your emotions, the more times like this, you should be more tolerant of your subordinates, otherwise Du Huidong will also be scolded by you, isn't the whole Jiahe an empty shell?" ”

"Hey! For today's plan, the fate of our Golden Harvest can only be pinned on Warner. Zou Wenhuai saw that the general trend had gone, and said a little unwillingly

At the beginning of August, Concord Film Company issued an announcement that Concord finally reappeared in the public eye after half a year of silence, and this time Concord Company will launch two of its films, called "Loser" and "Drunken Fist".

After this announcement was issued, both Hong Kong citizens and the media were a little lacking in interest, after all, in this month, they have already acquired torture, who cares about the release of these two films, for this Wang Xiaohu has been prepared, he has launched a series of measures to save Hong Kong audiences from returning to theaters, such as
