"True Colors of Heroes" is the third genre trend in Hong Kong cinema in half a century, and before that, only the new-school martial arts films of Cheung Cheh and Hu Jinquan, the "superhero kung fu films" of Bruce Lee, and the "kung fu comedies" of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Wo Ping were able to match. It is impossible to estimate the magnitude of the impact, but the word 'trend' speaks for itself. In the past, although there was no shortage of modern gunmen who bravely entered Longtan with firearms, the one that really caused a sensation in Hong Kong and caused a chain reaction was the first to suffer from "The True Color of Heroes". More far-reaching, the emergence of "The True Color of Heroes" will allow overseas audience fans and even producers and directors to transcend the limitations of "kung fu martial arts" for Hong Kong films, and then agree: Chinese not only use guns, but also can use them more dashing and shocking than us! ”

"What should "The True Color of Heroes" be defined as? Cops and bandits? Black. Help? Urban feud? I don't think it's appropriate, so it's better to call it a 'hero film' for the time being. What is a hero film? Cool styling, as long as the gun is in hand, the bullets will never be finished, the ** war is always a crazy weapon duel, the worship of the heroes by the characters in the film is always just "Brother Pony", hatred and misunderstanding of revenge are often brothers or friends, and there has never been a strange ** love that can keep pace with the true colors of a man Yang Lin, a genius director known as 'entertainment genius', has given the answer. I believe that in the near future, this type of film will emerge in an endless stream, creating an era and opening up a world. Either way, let's pay tribute to that 20-year-old kid! ”

I have to say that on the star-studded list of Hong Kong actors, Zhou Yunfa is indeed a star-studded name, he is the most successful star idol in Hong Kong, and he is also one of the most influential male stars in the entire Chinese entertainment industry. "The True Color of Heroes" is definitely a masterpiece of Chow Yun-fat, which vividly brings to life the art of civilian heroes who live in the lower echelons of society but are righteous and chivalrous. When the performance enters the inner level of the characters and always feels the psychological ups and downs of the characters, everything will be properly expressed, and the art will be vivid and vivid. Zhou Runfa, good job! ”

All of a sudden, all the media in Hong Kong praised it, whether it was newspapers or film critics, they were all boasting about their abilities, and they were full of praise.

Of course, there are good and bad, and this time Yang Lin's old rival "Xingdao Newspaper" jumped out again without surprise.

"Is this film really as good as it rumors? I am curious, and I also bought tickets to see it, so if Mr. Yang Lin is unhappy, please also see that in the case that the contemptible people have also contributed to the box office of your work, Haihan one or two. Brother Xiao Ma went to Taiwan alone, and the first paragraph of killing in a nightclub is indeed a model work of Hong Kong movies, the use of long shots, the scheduling of scenes, the beautiful singing, and the murderous intentions hidden in the romantic mood are too perfect. It's just a slight flaw that in the rain of bullets, Brother Pony stepped forward and ran out of the bunker, strafing all the shots, and the other party's minions jumped out to feed the bullets. An old movie? Of course, this film is indeed masculine, but this kind of masculine film is prone to the plot being too coarse and not delicate enough. For example, why do Taiwanese people turn against the water, why does Brother Xiao Ma go to Taiwan alone and not engage in assassination, but killing, why don't you walk with your back to the wall when you leave, but with your back to others, Brother Xiao Ma has been mixed up for so long and has no money, and if his foot is broken, he will fall to the bottom of society, and there are many details that are not very good, strange. In short, the contemptible people also asked Mr. Yang Lin to do a little more when he created in the future, and not to fool those audiences who contributed to the box office as fools. ”

Look at the final name - Joenieh, who is this person? This comment is very specific to the surname, not to the film, but to Yang Lin himself. Childish, shallow, fooling the audience? Yang Lin's eyes narrowed, and he called Wang Jing directly: "Who is that Joenieh, you can check it for me." ”

Wang Jing smiled and said: "I also read that comment, and it feels quite strange, so I checked it and wanted to tell you." It's Ni Zhen, the son of Ni Frame, this kid is quite talented, I don't know why he came up with such a comment. Also, this kid is a playboy, and he's been in close contact with your little ** recently, beware of your hair becoming green, haha! ”

"Little **?" Yang Linqi said: "Who?" ”

"Of course it's Zhou Huimin, who is like that beautiful fairy daughter, pretending to be stupid!"

"Zhou Huimin?" Yang Lin's brows furrowed tightly. These two enemies from their previous lives came together so quickly? Yang Lin remembered that Ni Zhen and Zhou Huimin met and really pursued what happened after Li Jiaxin's failure. History has changed!

Yang Lin touched his chin and thought about whether to break up the two of them. In other words, no matter in his past or present life, Yang Lin has no good impression of that Ni Zhen, and he is clearly a little white-faced playboy.

People are often like this, they only see the shortcomings of others, and they choose to ignore their own shortcomings.

Sure enough, as the senior management of Golden Harvest worried, "Weilong Detective" was tragic. The plot of the whole film is arranged without any new ideas, and the focus is still on showing the tense and exciting action scenes and Jackie Chan's outlaw stunt performance, but unfortunately director James Greggenhouse did not grasp Jackie Chan's unique sense of joy and shot the tone of the film too seriously, so he lost the usual intimacy of Jackie Chan's works. Coupled with the comparison of "The True Colors of Heroes", even Cheng Long's most die-hard fans can't help but shake their heads and lament: This film is too substandard and cannot pose any threat to "The True Colors of Heroes" at all.

The box office of "The True Color of Heroes" has been rising and soaring in the expectation and attention of the whole Hong Kong.

When 20 days after its release, the box office of "The True Color of Heroes" unstoppably crossed the 30 million mark, and everyone knew that there was no suspense about breaking the record, and the only thing they were looking forward to was what kind of height and what kind of myth this "True Colors of Heroes", which set off a frenzy of Hong Kong films, would reach and what kind of myth it would create.

Some people are envious, some people are jealous, but no one denies it: Yang Lin is too powerful! People finally saw the shocking scene of "The Assembly" sweeping the mainland box office last year, and they can't help but reflect: Why did "The True Color of Heroes", which bucked the trend, achieve such a great success in the tide of "martial arts and comedy" in Hong Kong films and audiences? Is it true that the audience is tired of those comedy films and wants to change their tastes?

As a result, countless plans to follow the trend were put on the agenda. The most outrageous thing is that the previous "box office poison hair" was very hot, and countless filmmakers waved banknotes to invite him to film, and at most he actually received more than a dozen invitations in one day. Of course, Zhou Yanfa smiled and declined, his film appointment with Yang Lin had already been scheduled for two years later. No amount of money will make him turn his face with Yang Lin, who has twice "saved" himself from dire straits.

It wasn't until a month later that "The True Color of Heroes" gradually drew in order to make way for "Mr. Zombie".

The final box office statistics, "The True Color of Heroes" shocked Hong Kong.

In the first month, the box office reached 40.5 million, not only breaking the box office record of Hong Kong films, but also breaking the 40 million mark for the first time, raising the original record by 10 million!

Shocking, surprising and incredible!

"The True Color of Heroes" has created a myth, a myth destined to be jaw-dropping, a myth destined to make everyone look up to the mountains and worship them.

Jin Yong wrote: "If 'shocking' is used to describe the grand occasion after the release of "The True Color of Heroes", it has reached an unprecedented level, and people will not forget it even 20 years later. ”

Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni did not hesitate to express their excitement after watching the film, the former wrote in the article: "I have been looking forward to applause for a long time, and now the applause is pouring in!" This play discharges tears, and the heroic romantic feelings under the gentle appearance; filmed the righteousness of friends and brotherhood, in the popular saying, it can be described as 'drama'! ”

Box office, word of mouth, "The True Color of Heroes" has reached an unprecedented height.

Golden Harvest's "Weilong Detective" created for Cheng Long's entry into Hollywood has a mediocre box office, with a cumulative box office of 11 million when it was painted on August 7, even though Golden Harvest knows that this movie will not cause much repercussions in Hong Kong, but such a bad box office under the big production can only be described as "bleak". Jiahe was holding his breath up and down, just waiting for "Xia Yue Fuxing" to win back a city.

Among the big three Hong Kong films, who is the most tragic this summer? There is no doubt that it is the new art city.

After the fiasco of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", "The Emperor of Part-time Jobs", which was pinned on by Xinyicheng, had just been on the painting for a day, and he encountered "Mr. Zombie" painted by Red Star.

At the beginning, everyone was not interested in zombie films, thinking that they were just new wine in old bottles, and there was no creativity. However, with the gradual drawing of "The True Color of Heroes", the release screen of "Mr. Zombie" has gradually increased, and the response has become better and better.

With a light-hearted and interesting plot, witty and funny lines, bizarre design, and mysterious Maoshan technique, the audience is becoming more and more optimistic, and the reaction of "Mr. Zombie" is gradually heating up. The film combines horror and comedy, using absurd techniques, which greatly stimulates the audience's sensory enjoyment, and the effects of horror and laughter are good. And the film is by no means the same as those ghost movies in the past, either scary or funny, and it is hasty. "Mr. Zombie" is rigorously produced and cleverly conceived, and director Liu Guanwei's handling techniques are compact and smooth, pushing the horror comedy movies since "Ghost Fighting" to a new **. Although there are no big stars to join the performance, it is still applauded, and the box office is rising.

Xinyicheng's "Working Emperor" was bitterly suppressed, but the most depressed was none other than Zou Wenhuai. Why? Because it was he who single-handedly returned this "Mr. Zombie" to Yang Lin. Thinking about the situation when Liu Guanwei begged him to invest millions more, but he flatly refused, Zou Wenhuai could only sigh.

Especially when he saw a comment in the newspaper, he regretted not doing it at the beginning.

"'Mr. Zombie' pioneered an important genre of Hong Kong cinema, zombie kung fu films, or 'psychedelic kung fu films'. That is, after the 'hero film', Red Star Pictures once again created a new genre of films, will Yang Lin become a master of 'genre films' in the Hong Kong film industry? ”

No matter what Zou Wenhuai thinks, "Mr. Zombie" has already begun, that is, after "The True Color of Heroes", once again set off a movie-watching boom!

In this summer, "Red Star Pictures" is definitely the biggest winner, even if you don't look at the box office, Red Star Pictures has already established enough prestige and influence in Hong Kong, standing firmly on the heels of one of the "Big Three", and in such a fierce and domineering way, it is indisputable to complete a counterattack on an old film company like Golden Harvest New Art City. As long as Red Star Pictures releases two more high-quality and acclaimed films in the next year, it will completely establish its position as the hegemon of Hong Kong films, rather than relying only on Yang Lin's Red Star Cinema Line.

Red Star Pictures is rising with a strong momentum and competing for hegemony in Xiangjiang!

When everyone was lamenting and chasing "Mr. Zombie", Yang Lin had quietly arrived in Taiwan, accompanied by the actor who set up a stall - Liang Jiahui. This trip is not only to promote the release of "The True Color of Heroes" and "Mr. Zombie" in Taiwan, but also to solve Liang Jiahui's "ban" by the way. After all, this powerful actor will be one of the firmest cornerstones of Yang Lin's blueprint in the future. (To be continued.) )
