February 14, 1977, Valentine's Day, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. 【Reading.com】

The Spring Festival stalls have entered the most intense stage, Hong Kong films have never been as lively as this year since the opening of the port, "Genius and Idiot" produced by Hui's company lasted for 30 days of screening, with a high income of 6.37 million to occupy the top position at the box office this year, followed by Binbin Film Company's "Jumping Ash", which won 4.56 million Hong Kong dollars locally after 28 days of painting.

The third place is still "Official! I want to", Wu Siyuan's self-formed Siyuan company has finally tasted the sweetness, and it is said that Wu Siyuan is currently preparing the next movie of the same genre.

In this time of fierce competition, Wang Xiaohu's Concord Film Production Company is naturally indispensable. With the rise of its four major film companies, the annual output of Concord has decreased year by year, from the initial four films a year to one a year, but it is undeniable that each one is a classic, and the fourth work "Hong Xiguan" starring Wang Xiaohu was also officially released on Valentine's Day.

"I thought you would arrange it to be released after the Spring Festival, don't you know that the Spring Festival will affect the box office?"

In the luxurious private room in the New Century Cinema, Run Run Shaw sat on the sofa and taught Wang Xiaohu a lesson with a cane in both hands.

Generally speaking, the most intense time for the Spring Festival is before entering Chinese New Year's Eve, and there will be a small malaise in the days from the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the first lunar month, mainly because everyone has to be busy visiting relatives and friends during this time, and the movie theater is also open after the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Therefore, Run Run Shaw thought that Wang Xiaohu's selection of the release on this day was a little irrational, and he couldn't help complaining.

"That's it, even I, an old guy who has just entered the film industry, knows the truth, you kid is wrong!" Shen Zhong was also on the sidelines to help.

Jin Yong and his eldest son Zha Chuanxia kept drinking tea and talking, and did not join the crusade army.

"Hey!" Wang Xiaohu sighed depressedly, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is also a matter of no choice, I can't stage cannibalism, right?" ”

"Cannibalism?" Run Run Shaw and Shen Zhong looked around, and immediately understood the meaning of Wang Xiaohu's arrangement, especially the old man Shen Zhong's face turned red at that time.

Isn't it, with Wang Xiaohu's current strength and box office appeal, he can indeed participate in the release at the prime time of the Spring Festival, but looking at the film release schedule arranged by the theater, not to mention that "Genius and Idiot" is the work of Concord's satellite company, just for newcomers and new works like "Jumping Ashes", it is even more difficult to fight a bloody road in the Spring Festival.

This is also thanks to the joint recommendation of Wang Xiaohu and Run Run Shaw, and the strong support of the theater chain behind the scenes, Wang Xiaohu made such a sacrifice, Shen Zhong just now even "fell into the well" to help Run Shaw count others, the old man Shen was ashamed, and he was busy bowing his head and drinking tea to cover up.

"Hehe, I said three old beans, you seem to have forgotten an important thing, right?" Wang Xiaohu saw that the two of them were speechless, and immediately said with a smile.

"Didn't you?" Run Run Shaw raised his head suspiciously and said, "I've been busy with the Chinese New Year recently, is the release of your movie an important event?" ”

Wang Xiaohu scratched his head and said with a bitter face: "Damn, your grandson Wang Jiaen is over the age of one, and you grandfathers don't even say it's important!" I told my son that when I grew up, I would never call you grandpa. ”

"Oops!" Jin Yong, who was busy talking with his eldest son over there, exclaimed when he heard this: "Look at my brain, I actually forgot this important thing, and I didn't prepare a gift!" ”

"Ah Yong, don't listen to his nonsense, our grandson's birth is obviously the fifteenth day of the first month after seventeen days, and the birth of this solar calendar does not count!" Run Run Shaw said as soon as he hit the ground with his cane.

"Do you kid want to finish the first birthday banquet of the solar calendar and then make the lunar calendar?" Shen Zhong blew his white beard: "Tell you, if you want to cheat me out of double red envelopes, no way!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey~~~ I was discovered by you, I'm a flash!" Wang Xiaohu saw that the situation was not good, and the three elders in the private room laughed and scolded one after another.

When I came out of the private room, I met Zhao Yazhi who came with her son in her arms, and seeing her husband's grizzled face, Zhao Yazhi asked, "Ah Hu, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Xiaohu pouted and said: "A few old guys said that our son's birth is calculated according to the lunar calendar, and I think tonight's first birthday banquet will be counted for our son." As he spoke, he held Wang Jiaen in his arms and instigated: "Son, when you grow up, you don't recognize those old guys as grandfathers." ”

"Hey, do you educate your children like that?" After Zhao Yazhi glanced at him, she snatched her son over and said, "I told you about the lunar calendar a long time ago." ”

"I'm just idle and bored to make those old beans happy, who let the lady you give birth, the solar calendar is Valentine's Day, the lunar calendar is the Lantern Festival, both are good."

Zhao Yazhi said this, "Okay, don't be poor here, hurry up and go to the front to accompany Lucas and Zhengdong." Zhao Yazhi took her son into the luxurious private room and let the little guy go to meet his grandfather.

At this time, the movie theater was already full of people, and there were about five minutes before the film was released, and the small merchants and vendors were taking advantage of the opportunity of the prosperous life in the theater during the Chinese New Year, shouting and selling popcorn, melon seeds and other small foods.

Wang Xiaohu bought two packs of melon seeds and three packs of popcorn from a small vendor, hugged them in his arms and came to the front seat to share food with Jet Li, Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, and Huang Yuehua.

Then he opened the melon seeds and handed them to Lucas next to him and said, "George, how is it, the atmosphere in the Hong Kong cinema is good, right?" ”

Lucas nodded and said, "It's very lively here, it's very different from the theaters in North America. ”

"That's nature, that's the real theater." Wang Xiaohu said: "The audience will tell you the good and bad of the film very directly through their way. ”

"You said that when you were in Thailand last year." Lucas knocked on the melon seeds and said: "It's just that the atmosphere in Thailand is not as strong as here, and it is not unreasonable for Hong Kong to be called the Hollywood of the East." ”

"I hope you're still reminded of what we talked about last year about the combination of stunts, special effects and kung fu."

"Of course, I found out that there are a lot of flaws in Star Wars through this vacation, and if it's strictly speaking, boss, I should apologize to you!"

Lucas's serious appearance made Wang Xiaohu stunned, smiled and pinched the melon seed skin in the palm of his hand, and said, "Apologize, why?" It's normal that any movie can have flaws of one kind or another. ”

"No, no, no!" Lucas shook his head and said, "Boss, you misunderstood me. By apology, I am focused on the cultural aspect, oh God, I don't know how to express it right now. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, you can think about it slowly, and it's not too late to talk to me when you sort out the clues." Wang Xiaohu spread his hands and said, "Hey, the movie has started, let's watch the movie first." ”

The lights of the cinema dimmed, and the concord symbol of yin and yang Tai Chi appeared on the huge screen, and the Tai Chi fish, one yin and one yang, slowly rotated, and finally merged together, with the two big characters of Concord, which was very philosophical. This logo is very familiar to the majority of audiences, because the movies they have seen in the theater in the past four years have been invested and assisted in the filming of Concord, and the film works of the four major satellite companies will appear first with the logo of Concord, and then their respective logos.

In theaters in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, this logo immediately replaced the Shaw Brothers' "SB" logo, and the Yin and Yang Tai Chi Fish even affected Hollywood, and American audiences knew that it was a Hong Kong movie when they saw it.

The names of the leading actors appeared on the screen one after another, and everyone is also very familiar with actors like Wang Xiaohu and Pan Yingzi, when the subtitles of "Special Recommendation: Jet Li" appeared on the screen, Wang Xiaohu heard that Jet Li's family not far away began to make noise, and it should be Jet Li's brothers and sisters who were exclaiming and surprised.

A tragic scene was staged at the beginning of the movie: Hong Xiguan was tragically destroyed by the Qing court, his infant son escaped, and Hong Xiguan was in a dilemma: "Son, my father is going to die in the world, and taking you is a drag; However, Dad can't deprive you of your right to live. Let's make a bet: if you pick a steel knife, Dad will take you up the knife mountain and cross the sea of blood; If you're picking a Trojan horse,". Hong Xiguan's eyes flashed, "Dad will send you down to Huangquan to see your mother!" He put the child on the ground, the child stumbled, and walked in the direction of the wooden horse, Hong Xiguan's wrist flipped, a sharp knife flashed, and his face was already murderous! The child seemed to be frightened, but he turned around and walked towards the steel knife, and finally stopped in front of the erected knife, his hand touched the blade and shook slightly, grinning at his father. Hong Xiguan was pleasantly surprised, hugged his son, and wiped away a heroic tear from the corner of his eye: "This is the last tear of our father and son, from now on we can only bleed!" ”

It seems that this beginning is too dark, which makes many theater audiences frown, but Wang Xiaohu's appearance with this serious and cold appearance did not disappoint them in any way, after all, Wang Xiaohu on the screen is far cooler than in the poster and trailer!

Next is a wonderful fight between Hong Xiguan and Ma Ning'er, the fast editing method, which is different from the martial arts style of Wang Xiaohu's previous three movies, makes the audience dizzying and addicted!

"Who said that Wang Xiaohu's donkey skills are poor!"

"That's right, what "Shaolin Five Ancestors", "Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu" are all going to die, compared with Wang Xiaohu, their martial arts actions are children peeing and mud, which is not a grade at all!"

"What was that trick called a dragon just now?"

"You are stupid, it's a poisonous dragon piercing the heart, look, after Wang Xiaohu killed Ma Ning'er, he was handsome with his head bowed and his gun on his back!"

The audience whispered about it, it can be said that Wang Xiaohu's old-fashioned appearance and chic martial arts movements, as soon as he appeared on the stage, gave them a big surprise-
