After the midnight show of "Black Man", film critics all over Hong Kong suddenly boiled, and many people commented on this novel film in the newspapers. The literati are already light, and many people even use film reviews to fight in the newspapers.

After Ye Zhiming was in charge of the company's internal affairs, Li Xuan also rarely had to run to the company every day, but just took the time to go to the company to see if there were any new screenwriters who had sent good scripts.

It's a pity that Li Xuan hasn't seen anything good so far.

Early in the morning, Li Xuan made breakfast, sat at the dining table with a pile of newspapers and began to read the newspaper while eating.

"If the Hong Kong movies of the 60s were the era of costume kung fu films, and the 70s were the era of kung fu films in the early Republic of China, then the 80s are very likely to be the era of fashion kung fu films.

In recent years, although costume kung fu films and early Republic of China kung fu films have still come out repeatedly, fashion kung fu films have sprung up in the film market. April's "King of Killers" has already taught people the charm of fashion kung fu films, but this time "Black Man" is even more amazing, no one would have thought that the combination of kung fu and fashion would have such a great charm, gorgeous and beautiful. And these two movies turned out to be the same screenwriter, and the author is still guessing at the moment what kind of person Li Xuan, the boss of this magical film company, is.

In this film, the director constantly challenges the limits of human beings by jumping off buildings, snatching cars, and exploding, so that the moviegoers are stunned by the protagonist's bold actions while being fascinated by the protagonist's dazzling actions.

The many innovations in the shooting techniques of fashion action films perfectly interpret the arrival of the new wave of cinema. The scenes and actions are also much more exciting than the old-style kung fu movies, and the scenes and actions that can't be done in kung fu movies can also be made in action movies through stunts. Therefore, fashion kung fu films have more highlights and are more contemporary than the old kung fu films.

At this point, the author predicts that it will be inevitable that fashion kung fu films will become mainstream. ”

This is a film review in the entertainment edition of "Ming Pao Morning Post", called "Black Man" - The Coming of the Fashion Kung Fu Film Era". The article is very well written, there are no spoilers and a lot of praise for the movie "Black Man", Li Xuan should really give this guy a good citizen award.

However, there are good things and bad things, and the "Oriental Daily", which has always been not very good at dealing with "Ming Pao", is not very quiet, and one of their film critics directly scolded it in the article.

"Obviously, the movie 'Black Man' 'borrows' a lot of Hollywood elements, such as mutants, superheroes and even the Green Hornet. Although the addition of these elements makes the whole movie seem more avant-garde, it is more of a nondescript, and it looks like a hodgepodge of Chinese and Western combinations.

And the plot of this movie is also relatively weak, just the general victory of justice **, it is completely a movie that you can guess the end when you see the beginning. Throughout the movie, the whole film is a movie supported by explosive fight scenes and some bloody scenes, and a tasteless feeling arises spontaneously after watching the movie.

Among them, the plot of the hero and heroine is particularly mentally retarded, and what is even more jaw-dropping is that after watching the whole movie, the supporting actress is even more scene-stealing than the heroine. Of course, this may be because the heroine is the director's 'girlfriend'. As for the action scenes in the movie, they are even more fake to the point of exaggeration and untruthfulness. This kind of boring and fake fight, no matter how wonderful the rehearsal is, the audience can never fully substitute for it, which is also a big failure of "Black Man".

All in all, this movie is a good film for some people who don't pay attention to the connotation. ”

"Hey......

Li Xuan chuckled lightly and tossed the newspaper aside.

This film critic almost got the shortcomings of the movie "Black Man" right, and exaggerated it a lot. However, it is obvious to everyone that these two newspapers are fighting in the ring, and if one side says that it is good, the other party will definitely have to sing down.

Doesn't that look good? Li Xuan thought while chewing poached eggs that the more they quarreled, the better the publicity effect of "Black Man".

"Why don't you call me when you get up?"

Zhong Chuhong walked out of the bedroom in a white lace nightdress, and the exposed delicate collarbone and the lazy face of the beauty who had just woken up made Li Xuan, who was eating breakfast, accidentally choked.

"Ahem...... Li Xuan cleared his throat and replied slowly: "Aren't you too tired last night, I want you to rest more." ”

"Phew! **！ ”

Zhong Chuhong smacked Li Xuan fiercely, turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Listening to the sound of washing in the bathroom, Li Xuan held a newspaper and shouted, "Hey, wife, there is a newspaper to praise you!" ”

"Trans... I... Extremely... Baa ......" Zhong Chuhong, who was brushing his teeth, poked his head out of the bathroom door with a half-toothbrush in his mouth and asked vaguely.

"Mm-hmm, I'll read it to you." Li Xuan pretended to pick up the copy of "Sing Tao Morning News" and read it with a serious face: "Previously, the rivers and lakes of traditional kung fu movies were always a world of blood swaying by male surnames. Except for the martial arts queen Zheng Peipei, there are really few female surnames on the screen that can leave a deep impression. In this "Black Hero", the female No. 2's ** dress and 'skilled' martial arts skills are eye-catching, and we seem to see another way to interpret kung fu. is mixed with sharpness in **, but it is amazing to be able to dance such a wonderful kung fu movie......"

"What is this compliment to me? I'm praising you. Zhong Chuhong's voice in the bathroom returned to normal, and it seemed that he had finished brushing his teeth.

"It's the same, who is the two of us. Besides, this is obviously complimenting you as well. Li Xuan folded the newspaper and continued: "Maybe, now this person who writes movie reviews is already a fan of yours." ”

"Fans?"

"Uh......" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly added: "It's not a fan, it's a fan!" ”

“fans?” Zhong Chuhong, who came out of the bathroom, muttered, "That's not what you said just now. ”

"That's it, let's not talk about it, I'll serve you breakfast!"

Li Xuan, who had said that he had leaked his mouth, hurriedly walked into the kitchen, afraid that Zhong Chuhong would ask some strange questions.

In the next two or three days, the newspapers were still fighting over this more subversive "Black Man", but Li Xuan focused on another thing, that is, "Mr. Zombie" has been fully drawn in other cities.

What makes Li Xuan quite happy is that "Mr. Zombie" has received more than 24 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Southeast Asia, which is more than one million more than the results of "Senior Brother Out" in Southeast Asia.

Compared with the two movies, this game can be regarded as a small victory for Li Xuan's "Mr. Zombie".

It's a pity that in the face of Chenglong, who is quite appealing in Yueben, "Mr. Zombie" can be described as a fiasco at the box office in Yueben.

"Junior Brother Out of the Horse" sold a sky-high ration box office of 630 million yuan in Yueben, which suddenly established Chenglong's peerless status in the Asian film industry. And "Mr. Zombie" is extremely pitiful, only half of the box office of "Senior Brother Out", and finally got a ration box office of 340 million yuan.

However, this result is also more satisfactory to Li Xuan, according to this value, it is estimated that Li Xuan can get more than 11 million Hong Kong dollars in box office dividends from other cities a month later, and the company's funds are suddenly abundant.

Now Li Xuan has a lot of confidence in the next plan.

At this time, the Hong Kong film critics were still noisy, but the day before the release of "Black Man" on June 28, a film review published by a person in "Ming Pao" instantly put this farce to a halt.

This person is none other than Shaw Brothers' film director - Zhang Ce.

As the mainstay of Shaw Brothers Pictures, I saw him write in the comments: ""Black Man" is actually a martial arts movie dressed in fashion, and happiness and hatred in the rivers and lakes are everywhere in it. With his own unique understanding of 'new martial arts', the director uses a new film language to show a strong and powerful style. The film's narrative techniques, scene scheduling, stunt pictures, and characters are all refreshing. Compared with the martial arts connotation of his films and previous martial arts movies, it may be difficult to summarize the word 'new' alone. This can't help but remind me of "Butterfly Change" directed by Xu Ke and "Famous Sword" directed by Tan Jiaming not long ago, both of which are unprecedented breakthroughs in film novelty and art. More than ten years ago, the author was fortunate to participate in the improvement and innovation of the 'new martial arts movie' at that time, and experienced a martial arts boom. But I didn't expect that more than ten years later, the author himself would become the object of improvement and innovation. Looking back on this, how sad and fortunate it is! ”

In the noisy late June, as Zhang Ce's film review full of worry and pleasure suddenly quieted down, this war of words gradually came to an end.

It's a pity that the tranquility of the film industry at this moment was broken by the upcoming summer file in a blink of an eye. (To be continued.) )
