The comedy kung fu film "The Loser" premiered last night in 70 theaters in Hong Kong, and according to the reporter of this newspaper interviewed hundreds of citizens, the theme of this film is very novel, and they almost spent it in laughter. 【】"New Star Newspaper"

"China Post" reported: "The film has changed the old routine of 'chivalrous heroes, grievances and hatreds' in the same type of films in the past, and focuses on the witty drama of the market, accompanied by the tragic surname ending, and the great sorrow and joy are relaxed." ”

"Focusing on playing, assisted by literary dramas, the action style of the film is more practical and interesting, and it is the most interesting in the part where Lin Zhengying returned to the field to recuperate, originally after Lin Zhengying's troupe Feng Le Nian was purged, it should usually be after retreating, resting well, and then taking revenge, but there is no meaning here, but the two brothers quarrel, as well as some gag details, and so on."

"Ming Pao" Jin Yong's commentary feature said: "It is precisely with the existence of enterprising filmmakers like Wang Xiaohu that we can see more gratifying that Hong Kong films are improving, maybe his last film failed, but in the messy bad movies, whether it is "Serpentine Trickster" or "Loser", it brings bursts of laughter to everyone, sweeping away the depression in last month's heart, Wang Xiaohu - the creator of comedy kung fu films, and the vane of the new era of Hong Kong films. ”

"Comedy kung fu films are very popular with the public, and after Bruce Lee's death, when most filmmakers were imitating and copying Bruce Lee's style, Wang Xiaohu took a unique path and integrated comedy and kung fu films into a new style, leading Hong Kong films to develop in a new direction." "Hong Kong Women's Daily" reported.

All the newspapers are reporting on the extraordinary achievements of "The Loser", and although the film's pre-release publicity tactics are somewhat opportunistic, it cannot hide the significant impact of "The Loser" on the Hong Kong film industry.

Yes, Wang Xiaohu made a comeback as a "savior" this time, not only swept the box office of 5 million before the release of the film, but also innovated a new movie theme, that is, a comedy kung fu film.

When interviewed by reporters, a reporter asked: "Whether it is "Serpentine Trickster" or "Loser", why did you start to have a soft spot for little people? ”

Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "It's not that I have a soft spot for small people, but everyone used to be used to Bruce Lee's national hero-like style, and everyone likes to watch big heroes, so I thought about it last year, everyone always looks at big heroes sooner or later, and they should shoot the stories of small people." ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled when he said this, his white hair was particularly dazzling under the flashlight, he held his chin and pondered: "Ordinary people are selfish, don't people kill for themselves, some time ago, everyone hated me, saying how I am, it's a bit unrealistic to say not to be angry, and then I thought about it carefully, everyone is not me Wang Xiaohu, why do you think about me, you don't understand what I'm doing, from everyone's point of view, you are right, but I am not wrong." ”

The reporters were a little embarrassed when they heard this, and the super dragon fan who had angrily reprimanded Wang Xiaohu was even more ashamed, he walked forward and bowed deeply to Wang Xiaohu in a complicated heart, and his voice was already choked when he raised his head: "Mr. Wang Xiaohu, I'm sorry, my words were too extreme some time ago, if it causes confusion to your life, please forgive me."

Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "Hehe, I actually forgave you a long time ago."

"Thank you, thank you!" The super dragon couldn't cry, and after three bows, he wiped his tears and retreated. Applause immediately erupted at the interview scene, dedicated to the broad-minded Wang Xiaohu, and even more to the super dragon fan reporter friend who had the courage to admit his mistakes.

After the applause calmed down, Wang Xiaohu continued: "The death of Brother Xiaolong hit me quite hard, but I know that blind pain cannot solve the problem, movies have become an indispensable part of everyone's life, whether you like it or hate it, it is an affirmation for us filmmakers." So I've been experimenting, trying to find a new way forward, and I'm glad you like it. ”

Within a week after the interview, the box office of "Loser" continued to climb one after another, Xu is inspired by the fresh stimulation of the lottery to inject vitality into the Hong Kong film industry, Xu is everyone has transitioned from the Bruce Lee era, in short, now everyone is gradually accustomed to Wang Xiaohu's comedy kung fu film style, vying to chase Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying, Sammo Hung and other three leading actors.

Especially Yuan Biao, he has been familiar to everyone earlier, but he has always been the second male lead, this time he played the leading role for the first time in a decent manner, with "The Loser" is liked by Hong Kong citizens, Yuan Biao will be accosted by strangers when he walks on the street: "Hi, Ryazan go home?" "Ryazan grocery shopping?" "What about Ryazan's ride?" "Ryazan went to the toilet"

Ryazan couldn't stand it, and hid in the company and poured bitter water on his colleagues: "Oh, when I wasn't famous before, I tried my best to be famous, but I didn't expect that there would be so much trouble after becoming famous!" ”

Seeing this, Jackie Chan blew his beard and glared, and the instigators shouted: "Grandma, Ah Biao, this kid is purely showing off, don't you see that I haven't made two films and it's not popular, the brothers beat him, and he will pretend not to be forced in the future." ”

When Wang Xiaohu came, it was lively here, Yuan Biao was chased and beaten by Jackie Chan and fled in embarrassment, and when he saw Wang Xiaohu coming in, he immediately hid behind him and asked for help: "Ah Hu, help me, they are going to beat me." ”

"Hehe, you kid must be bragging, right, I didn't see that Ah Long is depressed now, you, asking for trouble!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, and then said to Jackie Chan: "Ah Long, don't worry, I will arrange the release of "Drunken Fist" at the end of the month, and then it will be when you are popular!" ”

"Really?" Jackie Chan stared at Wang Xiaohu with suspicion, a little distrustful and a little confused.

Wang Xiaohu can understand the meaning, he knows that Jackie Chan is a relatively arrogant person, and he knows that Jackie Chan has his own ideas, and his brothers will sooner or later become prosperous in the Hong Kong film industry, and he is their best leader, the best mentor and Bole.

"Of course it's true! Haven't you seen that the box office results of "Serpentine Trickster" are picking up in the past few days, sometimes you have to believe in yourself! Wang Xiaohu patted Jackie Chan on the shoulder and entered the office with a smile. Then he called Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping in.

"Brother Ping, Senior Brother Sanmao, you can sit casually." Wang Xiaohu said: "Today I called you to discuss the box office dividends. ”

"Dividends?" Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping glanced at each other, although Wang Xiaohu said about dividends half a year ago, but at that time, Bruce Lee died and "Snake Trickster" hit the street, the company was in a downturn, and everyone forgot about the dividends.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Yes." In the past six months, everyone's hard work, I have seen it in my eyes and remembered it, everyone did not abandon me in the most difficult time, I am already very grateful, this time our company has improved, and the promises made before must be fulfilled. ”

The market for Hong Kong films is not very large, and Wang Xiaohu is not selfish enough to shoot all the classic movies completely, after all, this is very unrealistic, and he doesn't want to toss in Hong Kong for the rest of his life, so every time he opens up a style or market, he will let the Seven Little Blessing brothers come to the top, and he will do what he wants and make his favorite films.

The reason why Shaw Brothers Group can't retain people is because Golden Harvest took the lead in using the shareholder system, that is, encouraging its pillars and popular movie stars to set up branches to produce films independently, and if they are not able to produce films independently, they can also get a part of the dividends from the box office.

It's just that Zou Wenhuai's plan to be called a "hand of God" in later generations was mixed up by Wang Xiaohu's three-five divisions, but Wang Xiaohu did not deny the correct surname of Zou Wenhuai's "Huairou" policy, in addition to Bruce Lee, Xu Guanwen, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and others have become Golden Harvest's satellite companies, and the momentum of development is also good, which is also one of the reasons why Golden Harvest has been able to stand tall in the Hong Kong film industry for decades.

Wang Xiaohu, as a reborn person, even copied Bruce Lee's script and actions, not to mention this so-called system, he must implement the strategy of Golden Harvest, if the dividend system is not started now, there will definitely be more hidden dangers within the Concord Company. This is not impossible, Wang Xiaohu used to take his brothers to fight the country, but now that the country is gradually stable, he must consider how to sit firmly in the country. The dividend system is only the first step he has to take.

"Everyone has been coming out with me for more than a year, and we have made a lot of popular films in the past year, but you all know that the money was personally invested by me." Wang Xiaohu seems to be summarizing, and it seems to be a calm narration, in fact, whether it is "Righteous Hero", "Ip Man" or "Enter the Dragon", "Rocky", including "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist", "Loser" All the costs of these films are completed by Wang Xiaohu personally.

Among these money is the six million US dollars he "pulled" in Yueben, as well as his box office dividends and salary, with the boom of the box office, the initial funds are more and more, but he also does a lot of things, Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union, acquisition of theaters, establishment of overseas branches, etc., etc., can lay so many countries, even Wang Xiaohu himself is surprised!

Even if he is a brother, he has to settle accounts, so Wang Xiaohu was full of confidence when he said these words, and it was natural that others couldn't say half a word.

"I've thought about it for a long time, starting with "The Serpentine", I plan to give a tenth of the box office as a dividend, and take this tenth according to everyone's performance in the film and the amount of Billy they pay. I don't know if you guys have any comments? ”――

This chapter must exist, put yourself in your shoes, Wang Xiaohu did it right, and the films filmed in the future will not let Wang Xiaohu pay for it alone.
