In the seventies and eighties, Hong Kong's test screening "midnight show" was an unwritten rule in the film industry, and "Food Truck" officially started its own "midnight show".

On December 5, 1983, in a very luxurious cinema in the southeast corner of Kowloon under Golden Harvest, "Fast Food Truck" was about to usher in its midnight test screening. It is also Li Yihua's first midnight test screening.

By the time it was almost 11 p.m., the 1,500-seat cinema in the southeast corner of Kowloon was already crowded. In front of the cinema, itinerant vendors shout and shout, selling hot sugar cane, fried chestnuts, brine offal, roasted corn, popcorn and other snacks.

"Hot sugar cane! Hot sugar cane! Juicy and watery, affordable and inexpensive, a must-have choice for couples! ”

"Little brother, let's divide the fried cow river, right?"

"Sugar-fried chestnuts! Fragrant and sweet chestnuts! Pretty boy, let's have a chestnut! ”

The cries of various itinerant vendors attract many moviegoers to spend a dollar or a few cents to have a little snack and wait for the movie to relieve their boredom. It also stimulates the movie test screening, and there will be a lot of small traders and vendors around.

There are many young people in the crowd of moviegoers, men and women gather together, hook shoulders and backs, call friends, accompanied by the surrounding shouting, making the theater very lively and prosperous, these young people are the main consumers of movies, today's Hong Kong, watching movies is a very popular entertainment method for ordinary people.

The people at the door of the theater were waiting for the start of the midnight show, while chatting and scolding, the scene was very lively, the atmosphere was full, everyone was chatting loudly, and their eyes were looking at the quartz clock hanging in front of the theater from time to time.

"I don't know if this "Fast Food Truck" is good-looking or not, if it is not good-looking, Lao Tzu will definitely scold" A stout man shouted in the crowd.

"The movie of the three brothers Hung Jinbao must not be wrong, I like Sammo Hung the most." An equally tall man next to him also spoke out loud.

"Even Shaw Brothers has been a bad movie this year, which company has a guarantee? Ay...... Here we go...... Don't talk about it, follow along! I don't know whose voice it is, these people all pushed and shouted into the theater for the test screening of midnight.

At the invitation of Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan and others, many media reporters, film critics, and filmmakers also came to cheer. Because this film is the work of director Tsui Hark, many people also come to watch it with curiosity.

However, some people nominally say that it is called a cheering field, but looking at the appearance of these people "murderous" and "sharpening knives", it makes them more like they are here to "smash the field", the so-called thousands of people are all kinds of people.

Looking at the bustling audience and those film critics, media reporters, and filmmakers who flocked to the theater, Li Yihua, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, although he was only the assistant director of this film, but after all, it was his first step in screenwriting.

And Li Yihua has a lot of feelings invested in this film, and when facing the test of the audience, he is inexplicably a little weak in his heart.

"Hehe, Andy, look at why you look so nervous, don't be nervous as a director, don't worry, even if I am beaten in a while, I will be in front of me! Okay, relax, the most important thing in movies is to have confidence in yourself, if you don't have confidence in yourself, then you will never be able to shoot excellent works! ”

Hong Jinbao walked in very calmly, and as soon as he came in, he saw Li Yihua standing there stupidly standing on the side, and couldn't help but show a smile, and walked over to smile and comfort.

"That's it, there's nothing to be nervous about, when you step into the film industry, you have to face everyone's opinions, if you don't even dare to face the basics, then leave the industry as soon as possible, the director, you need not only technology, but also a strong heart!" Jackie Chan also smiled and encouraged Li Yihua.

"Haha, Hong Fatty, Jackie Chan, you're all here, I'm here early enough, right?"

Just as Li Yihua and Hong Jinbao were chatting, a unique voice sounded.

"Hehe, Old Monster Xu, thank you for coming!"

"Haha, how can I not cheer for your fat man's new film?" Old Monster Xu said with a very righteous smile as always. "Andy, you're here too!"

Li Yihua nodded to Xu Laowei, and when the people were almost there, Hong Jinbao and Li Yihua and other relevant personnel of the crew sat at the back of the theater, waiting for the start of the movie "Fast Food Truck".

After Jackie Chan played a few words in front of the stage, the audience, film critics, and media reporters were quietly waiting for the start of the movie.

When the music sounded, and then the logo of the new art city appeared, some of the audience at the scene couldn't help but eat the popcorn and hot sugar cane they bought, and they all watched movies while eating, and the sound was a little noisy.

"These are the famous 'cane biting gangs' in Hong Kong, when it comes to midnight, many people will buy sugar cane to eat and arbitrarily evaluate the characters in the play. If you don't shoot well, these people will even throw the sugar cane directly at the big screen, hehe, you have to get used to it, of course, if you shoot well, you will also get their unremitting publicity! Hong Jinbao smiled and pointed to some fans who were biting sugar cane, and said jokingly to Li Yihua.

As the soundtrack of the film began, Li Yihua watched his name flash twice on the film, once as a screenwriter and once as an assistant director, Li Yihua couldn't help but feel happy.

The black-and-white maverick opening made the audience a little interested. The beginning of this slightly Western modern way is also what Li Yihua specially explained to Sammo Hung and others, this kind of title may fail in a few years, and no one likes to use it, but now, this film has different types of titles, but it gives the audience a refreshing feeling. "Jackie Chan kicked the troublemaker off the motorcycle"

"Ahh That's a real kick, you see that person is being kicked out of the saliva. "A fan was so frightened that he quickly blindfolded him!

"It only took six days for God to create the world, and eight days to catch that girl, that's enough time."

The film continues, and when the picture of Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Dart coming to the castle comes to the scene, the theater remembers the sound of a flutter.

"It's time to stage the three brothers desperately"

The plot develops slowly, when Sammo Hung played the incomparably beaten into panda eyes, the magnificent scene made everyone at the scene shine, and they couldn't help but worry about it!

When he saw Cheng Long, Yuan Dart, and Hong Jinbao each holding a knife, they shouted "Three swords merge!" ”

Watching the ups and downs of the plot continue, this makes viewers who are tired of watching the kind of movies in the 70s can't help but become more and more energetic, and many people stretch their necks and stare at the big screen tightly. "I saw Yuan Biao turn into the lady's skirt"

As the plot develops. From time to time, the theater erupted in a burst of heartfelt laughter. When the film reaches the end, watch the three brothers subdue the enemy.

Such an unexpected ending caused a lot of discussion in the audience, which made them even more interested in the ending that followed.

The lights were lit up, and the audience applauded warmly. And Hung Jinbao also brought the actors and staff to the stage to thank the audience.

Li Yihua looked at the thunderous applause and the many viewers who kept talking about this film, and couldn't help laughing, and put down a stone in his heart. This movie also made Li Yihua's throbbing heart more active.

Looking at the audience who applauded thunderously and kept applauding, Li Yihua felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, if a film appeared in his hands and was liked by everyone, it must be a very wonderful thing.
