Chapter 263: Pure Music
When "Heavenly Love" was released, the Falklands War, which Britain had fought with Argentina for more than two months, also came to an abrupt end. This battlefield, which is extremely far away from Hong Kong, has deeply affected all aspects of Hong Kong people at this time.
After winning the Falklands War, Britain began to make a request to the mainland for negotiations on the Hong Kong issue, and once again brought up the idea of separating sovereignty and governance. Not only do they intend to continue to rule Hong Kong, but Margaret Thatcher is rumored to be preparing to visit China in the near future.
The people and news media in Hong Kong began to make various predictions about this incident, some said that the negotiations would break down and then the People's Liberation Army would take back Hong Kong by force, some said that the mainland authorities should give in to Britain this time, and some said that the negotiations were expected to drag on for a long time and Hong Kong would be in turmoil for a long time......
In short, rumors were everywhere in Hong Kong for a while, which made people panic.
Li Xuan is the only one in Hong Kong who is not worried about this matter, and he is still thinking about whether someone will help the old British lady if she falls at the door of the Great Hall of the People?
And when this group of idle and bored seven aunts and eight aunts were discussing the international situation, they were stunned to find that their daughters ran home crying with red eyes, and then they were locked in the boudoir and cried.
"Ayi, is that bastard boy Ah Jian bullying you? Tell Daddy, Daddy will teach him a lesson! ”
"Daughter, what are you talking about, your mother is very scared."
"Sister, if we're tired from work, let's change it, don't hide quietly and cry."
"Wan Chai, everyone else is crying, why are you crying as a man!"
“……”
Since the first day of the release of "Heavenly Love", it has triggered a new round of small-scale rainfall in Hong Kong, especially in the theaters, many girls cried so much that they burst into tears, causing many men to have red and swollen eyes.
These adolescent boys and girls were moved by "Heavenly Love"!
Even Yishu, a well-known female writer, wrote in her film review column in "Ming Pao": "...... A few days ago, I was visiting my brother's house, talking and laughing, and suddenly I saw my fifteen-year-old niece running in crying. Everyone was shocked, thinking that something had happened, and after some careful questioning, they realized that it was because they had watched a movie, and they suddenly felt ridiculous.
When I first heard the name of this movie that made a lot of young girls cry, I thought it was very amazing, "If there is love in the sky", the sky is also old, and the moon is like a hateless moon and the moon is round', but when he snorted softly, his brother laughed on the side and said, "If the sky is loved, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life", a good sentence The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life!
Under some curiosity, I, a woman who is not willing to be lonely, also quietly slipped into the cinema. Director Li Xuan used to hype up his movies, but this time he was quiet, was he afraid of being drowned on the spot by the tears of the beauty? But maybe it's because of my own age, there are a few more rational surnames and a few less sadness, but I didn't shed tears.
The storyline of the movie is not complicated, and it can be said that it is a Hong Kong version of Romeo and Juliet. Love and righteousness, youth and blood, the things that these young people value most are all shown in the movie, and even I, an old woman at the level of seven aunts, feel sour.
"If he can live with you here, who cares if life is helpless"
The last song was sung and sighed, with fate and despair. Some people say that this movie promotes the righteousness of the community in transition, but I don't think so. The director is unconventional in the plot design, which brings a heavy fatalistic color to the movie. Whether it is the woman who fell from the car at the beginning, or the eldest brother of Fa Zai, or the villain Horn, or the protagonist of Fa Zai, or Uncle Da who does not know his life and death in the end, these characters who are more or less implicated in the community end in tragedy.
These are also a kind of fate.
If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life!
This is a poignant elegy for love, and all the movie elements are so classic and unforgettable. The director's just right plot advancement to immerse the audience in it; The skillful language expression of the lens makes the fire, blood, wedding dresses, locomotives and other props combined into beautiful pictures......"
In fact, in terms of the cast of "Heavenly Love", it is not very good, and there are no first-line stars such as Chenglong, Lin Qingxia and Hong Jingbao. Among them, Zhong Chuhong, who is the most well-known actor and has the highest salary, is also the same as later generations, most people pay attention to her appearance and do not pay attention to her acting skills, which makes her very depressed.
So on the first day of the release of "Heavenly Love", there was no fullness. state, but relying on a bunch of stars and Li Xuan's golden signboard, the attendance rate is still above ninety.
The box office was 710,000 yuan, which is a basically qualified result for Li Xuan.
However, after the movie made thousands of girls cry on the first day, the attendance on the second day soared due to its excellent reputation, and finally it began to be full, and almost all of them were young men and women watching.
As a result, after being full for two consecutive days, Golden Harvest Cinemas couldn't sit still, and finally began to screen this tragic movie across the board. The number of Hong Kong audiences crying has increased dramatically, and many girls walk out of the theater crying and red eyes every day, and then get on the motorcycle that their boyfriends bought with gritted teeth and go away.
Throughout the summer, sales of Yamaha bikes in Hong Kong quadrupled, and private drag racing competitions appeared on many quiet roads. As a result, car accidents occurred frequently, and in the end, the Hong Kong government had to send a lot of patrol police to strictly investigate and deal with them, so as to kill this unhealthy trend of drag racing.
As a result, in the first week of its release, "Heavenly Love" won a box office of 6.43 million Hong Kong dollars, although it is not as good as Li Xuan's first two movies, but this result is very good among Hong Kong's movies with literary and artistic surnames.
And Golden Princess Yongjia's "Lifting Little Hands" also performed well, getting a box office of 4.83 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week, and Yongjia made a good start. After watching the movie, many fans who were so sad by "Heavenly Love" went to Princess Jin to watch the comedy "Let Go of Little Hands" to adjust their mood, which made Li Xuan feel crying and laughing.
As for Shaw Brothers' "Evil Again", it is obviously a little unlucky, perhaps because they have watched too many such horror movies in recent years, and Hong Kong audiences have gradually begun to dislike it. In the first week of its release, "Evil and Evil" only got a box office of 2.83 million, and now the attendance rate has dropped to less than 40%, and it is estimated that it will have to be painted in less than two weeks.
Shaw Brothers' presence in the Hong Kong film industry is getting weaker and weaker.
Compared with the tepid popularity of several movies in the summer file, Li Xuan's "Heavenly Love" is much more popular. Because Li Xuan and Chen Shuhua are not very outstanding in the Hong Kong music scene, Ye Zhiming is now on the shelves of the movie "Heavenly Love" after the movie is released.
The result is very good, many boys and girls love the house and Wu, "Heavenly Love" has just sold more than 7,000 copies on the first day of its release, and as the movie becomes more and more popular, the sales of the record in the first week reached more than 40,000 copies, almost breaking the platinum. Li Xuan, a newcomer in the record industry, and Chen Shuhua, a newcomer to the Hong Kong music industry, suddenly shocked the jaws of musicians in Hong Kong.
On Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, there is a burst of pure music of guitars like rock and heavy metal in Tom Lee Piano Shop.
With a heavy trill, the whole music came to an abrupt end, Deng Weiqian put down the guitar in his hand and asked Li Rongchao on the side, "Why hasn't Jiaju come yet?" ”
"I don't know." Li Rongchao shrugged his shoulders, flicked the bass in his hand and said, "Maybe there is something delayed on the road......
"Hey, hey! You see, I've found a good thing. ”
A young voice suddenly interrupted Li Rongchao's words, and the two turned their heads to see a young man running towards them holding what looked like a vinyl record.
At the same time, Li Xuan was sitting in the tea restaurant of the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, quietly drinking afternoon tea while looking at the magnificent Victoria Bay outside the window.
