Shaw Brothers' big production "Water Margin" received a box office of 1.8 million in 20 days after its release, which is said to be a good result, but the people's Concord "Righteous Heroes Bravely Entering the Beach" swept the box office of 5 million in 17 days after its release, which is more than twice their results.

Concord was established less than half a year ago, and has already established a good position in the Xiangjiang film circle, mainly thanks to a dragon and a tiger, the Dragon and Tiger brothers joined forces to create "Jingwumen", and then separately guided the completion of "Righteous Heroes" and "Raptor", "Righteous Heroes" The small cost of "Righteous Heroes" not only won the box office, but also became popular with Zhao Yazhi, Yuan Biao, Yuan Brothers and Stephen Chow in one fell swoop.

Zhao Yazhi returned to work in the airline immediately after filming, and after the release of "Righteous Hero", the colleagues and leaders of the airline found out that the kind and beautiful Xiaoqian inside was Zhao Yazhi, so Zhao Yazhi became an idol star at the same time, and also became the best spokesperson for the airline.

According to the airline's survey, where there is Zhao Yazhi on duty, the customer complaint rate is the lowest, almost as low as the lowest in the history of the company's establishment, which shows its popularity!

Many film and television companies and even Shaw Brothers sent people to contact Zhao Yazhi to discuss cooperation with new films, but she vetoed them. According to those representatives, Zhao Yazhi only cooperates with Wang Xiaohu to make films, and she is Wang Xiaohu's queen heroine, even if you offer a high price, Zhao Yazhi is not impressed. Such a result makes all film and television companies sigh and pity, and at the same time, it also reflects Wang Xiaohu's charm in a certain aspect.

The Yuan brothers changed the downfall of a few months ago, and became a martial arts instructor, assistant photographer, and assistant director, and the happiest was their father Yuan Xiaotian, who heard that he had called Yu Zhanyuan in the United States, and he said to Zhanyuan on the phone: Zhan Yuan, your apprentice is amazing, my two sons have studied with you for more than two years and have never learned anything, and now they have learned with your apprentice for less than a month, and now the knowledge they have mastered has surpassed me.

Yu Zhanyuan laughed on the phone and asked if it was Sanmao, in his subconscious, only Sammo Hung could mix so well, which was considered to have given him a long face. Yuan Xiaotian shouted that it wasn't Sanmao, it was Ah Hu. "Hu?" Yu Zhanyuan was stunned for a long time on the other side of the ocean, and then asked eagerly: "Is that the Yuan Hu who is lazy and lazy and embarrassed after coming to the United States?" "Isn't he who he is? Zhan Yuan, several of your apprentices have been amazing in the past six months, you better stop tossing in the United States, come back and help these little cubs take care of their homes! Yu Zhanyuan sighed with relief and returned: "It's good that the children have a chance."

Stephen Chow immediately became a little celebrity on Temple Street because of his role as a little cricket, and the neighbors praised him for his very good performance in the film, like a child star seedling, so that Xingzi only grinned happily when he heard it, and he also wiped his nose disdainfully like Bruce Lee and said: "What is this, when I learn kung fu from my master, I will be Bruce Lee when I grow up!" ”

"I Am Bruce Lee" is spreading in Xiangjiang at an unstoppable speed, and the young men in the streets and alleys are dancing nunchucks, humming and singing, and playing with joy, of course, the "Bruce Lee Sporting Goods Store" is facing a shortage again, and the turnover has doubled several times, and Yuan Xiang has cramped every day

At the same time, Zou Wenhuai called Luo Wei, who was filming in Yueben, and asked them to speed up the filming progress of "Cold Tiger", after all, neither "Righteous Hero" nor "Raptor" is a film in his hands Zou Wenhuai, he clearly knows that if "Raptor" is released, his control over Bruce Lee will become smaller and smaller, if he does not speed up the cultivation of the company's films, after Bruce Lee and others are completely self-reliant, Golden Harvest is likely to face a situation of lack of success, and no one can fill the gap in the middle. This incident has always haunted Zou Wenhuai, and even made him sleepless at night.

Zou Wenhuai was worried, some people were even more worried than Zou Wenhuai, Shao Liushu, the head of the Shaw Family, was visiting the set of "Ma Yongzhen" in Clear Water Bay at the moment, and watched it carefully for a long time on the side, and he found Zhang Che during the break in the middle, and asked like this in the first sentence: "Can you speed up the progress?" Zhang Che sighed and shook his head, since the release of "The Righteous Hero", the Hong Kong director is also worried, he first thought that his "Ma Yongzhen" would create the first precedent in the history of Hong Kong films, and it would also become the first "gangster" movie, who knew that "The Righteous Hero" shattered his dream.

"Yifu, it can't be faster, Ah Tai and Wei Zai haven't slept well for three days, if you urge it again, I'm afraid it will backfire." Zhang Che has words of suffering. "At the moment, what we are pursuing is not the progress, but the quality of the film, the script can no longer be modified, we can only start from the martial arts aspect, I have been thinking with Jia Liang these days, to see if I can add some big open and close actions like in "Righteous Heroes", that I know that Jia Liang was very angry after hearing it, saying that it is not the authentic Hongquan, and the big opening and closing in the north will not work in Hong Kong"

"Hey, this Jialiang, when is it, and he is still clinging to the boundary between the southern and northern factions, as long as it looks good, won't the audience like it?" When Run Run Shaw heard this, he became angry in a hurry, "You do ideological work for everyone, we can't wait, otherwise after Bruce Lee's "Raptors Across the River" is released, our Shaw Brothers' status will be completely shaken." As for Jialiang, I'll do the work. ”

Liu Jialiang began to learn martial arts with his father at the age of 9, and his father Liu Zhan was a personal disciple of Lin Shirong, a disciple of Huang Feihong, so he won the true inheritance of Huang's martial arts. In the mid-50s, Liu Jialiang entered the film industry with his father, starting as an extra and a dragon and tiger martial artist. In 63, he cooperated with Tang Jia and became a martial arts instructor in "Southern Dragon and Northern Phoenix". The famous work is "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" of the Great Wall Film Company in 65.

Before entering the Shaw Brothers, Liu Jialiang was already a "hot commodity" that many film companies were vying for, and he was invited by Zhang Che to shoot "Ma Yongzhen" this time with great passion, but Zhang Che repeatedly asked him to change the style of martial arts design in the half month since the start of filming, which made Liu Jialiang feel very depressed.

As we all know, Liu Jialiang has always maintained the martial arts style of "hard bridges and hard horses, bridges and bridges, and fierce strength", which is not unrelated to him and Huang Feihong's authentic heirs, in his eyes, "Jingwumen" and "Righteous Heroes" belong to the northern style, Zhang Che asked him to add that kind of northern style of play in "Ma Yongzhen", he couldn't accept it, and he didn't want to accept it.

So when Run Run Shaw approached him for a discussion, he made a decision with Run Run Shaw on the spot: "Shaw, I categorically will not agree to what you say, if you feel that someone is more suitable than me to be this martial arts director, I, Liu Jialiang, will automatically let Xian." ”

Run Run Shaw trembled angrily, after all, his Shaw Dynasty had created many screen classics, and was forced to this point by a Concord company that had just been established for less than half a year, Uncle Shao was very helpless and sad, and now it was the time to employ people, and it was inconvenient for Uncle Shao to do too many radical things, so he left the set angrily and pulled the senior management together to discuss how to stop Bruce Lee's "Dragon Crossing the River".

The result of discussing for an afternoon is equivalent to no discussion, everyone is at a loss, if "Ma Yongzhen" is released before "Righteous Heroes", it will not be so passive. However, Chu Yuan put forward a feasible suggestion: "I don't know if you have noticed Concord's publicity methods this time, their trailer publicity effect is good, can we also try it in "Ma Yongzhen", after all, our theater chain is more than Jiahe's." ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Run Run Shaw's brows finally relaxed, and immediately informed Zhang Che to shoot a short film of "Ma Yongzhen", and learn Golden Harvest's propaganda methods to broadcast it in the prime time of major theaters. After this arrangement, Run Run Shaw was not satisfied, and he still had an important way to publicize it compared to Golden Harvest, that is, his wireless television station.

After the meeting, Run Run Shaw left He Shouxin alone and said to him earnestly: "Ashin, you have written me a plan recently, which is roughly to add a group of special interview programs on "Ma Yongzhen" in "Happy Tonight", and remember to insert the trailer of "Ma Yongzhen" in the prime time of the short drama"

After arranging these things, Run Run Shaw leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily, the rise of Golden Harvest and Concord had made him feel a lot of pressure, "Is my time about to pass?" "Fortunately, I have TVB and can still develop, young people, young people, your vision is only for a while after all"

If Wang Xiaohu knew about Run Run Shaw's thoughts, he would definitely sneer at Run Run Shaw and say: "Sixth uncle, you are old, do you think that only you will know that TV shows will be very popular in the future?" I'm a reborn, if I give up the fat of television, won't I be reborn again in vain? ”

Of course, Wang Xiaohu doesn't know Run Run Shaw's thoughts now, he is at home at the moment with his cheeks blared at Yuan Biao and Li Shaonan.

"Have you had enough?"

"No, it's not playing, hehe, Master, don't train Brother Biao, he was forced by me, what anger do you have to spread directly at me." Maybe he was forced by life, maybe it was after that starvation and fainting that Li Shaonan opened up a little bit of the trick, he is not rigid at all now, but tries to make himself more active and diligent, in order to let Wang Xiaohu accept him as an apprentice
