"Click—"

"No, Rong Zai, the expression is too pompous, do it again."

"OK, it's been over this time, Rong Zai, good job."

………

"Click—"

"Brother Long, explosiveness, I need to detonate the audience's enthusiasm at this time, so when you act, you have to show me that kind of outburst, the movements are more exaggerated, the eyes are more fierce, and the lips are slightly pursed, OK, yes, yes, that's the feeling, remember that we'll do it again."

"OK, Brother Long, it's amazing, it's worthy of being an old-timer."

"Jialing, you... Forget it, it's OK to be quiet when you shoot for a while, it's best not to be too big in action, just try to release your most beautiful side. ”

"Director Xiao, what you mean is that I'm a vase."

“…”

"It doesn't seem right that you understand it that way, so imagine yourself as a vase."

“….”

………

"Click—"

"No, the light is too weak, I'll shoot one side later, and try again with three degrees of light.

"OK, this is over."

……….

"Click—"

"No, it's too bad, so let's do it, I'll give you three nights, you don't have to do anything for these three days, just keep shooting for me, and you want to reflect the charm of Hong Kong at night, you know?"

"Director, it's just a few seconds of footage, do you need to be so harsh?"

"It's just that maybe when the time comes, the audience won't be able to find out."

"Remember, I'll just say this, movies are not art, movies are life, and life has to start from the details, a movie is 1 hour and 30 minutes, that is, 90 minutes, or 5400 seconds. If you think of this as a life, a few seconds is a lot. ”

"You've all remembered for me that there is no room for sloppiness in my films, even if it's a few seconds and a fleeting shot. I want to be a high-quality product, even if there are no people in this shot, just a landscape, you have to shoot this scenery for me as picturesque. ”

Time keeps passing, and the time for the start of Christmas is getting closer and closer. Xiao Jian also put all his energy into the movie, and he didn't even go to the release of "The Battle of the Crazy Boys", of course, the movie was released for a total of 42 days, and the box office reached 30 million again at the end of the screening, although the box office this time was a little watery, but it still exceeded 30 million again, making countless people lose their voices.

Naturally, Xiao Jian's upcoming film "The True Color of Heroes" was also rated as the most anticipated film in this year's summer file.

During this time, Xiao Jian did not give up publicity. first used the scandal, and then used the film to promote, and after the film was drawn, Xiao Jian began to use various opportunities to hype the movie, and even let his friends in the circle talk about the film from time to time.

By the time "The True Colors of Heroes" was filmed in 2 months, there were still nearly 2 months left before the Christmas file, and there were few millions of people in Hong Kong who had not heard of the movie "The True Colors of Heroes".

As soon as the filming of the movie was completed, Xiao Jian had already decided to put the schedule of "The True Color of Heroes" on the day before Christmas, that is, the premiere on Christmas Eve, and the next day's Christmas in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea... and other 11 regions in Southeast Asia will be released at the same time.

It has to be said. Being able to win so many places to be released at the same time, and it is such a good schedule, the energy of Shaw Brothers is indeed very large, of course. With the release of the second part of Crazy Boy and some time ago in Southeast Asian countries, the good results achieved have also helped a lot.

In addition to Xiao Jian's current prosperity in Hong Kong, he is known as the first commercial director, and it takes 20 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a large-scale production zuò, so it is not impossible to be released in so many countries and regions at the same time.

At the same time, Golden Harvest's "Police Story". "Best Partner 4" of Xinyicheng, "Royal Sister" of Debao... and countless other films have also decided to test screen on the same day as "The True Color of Heroes" and release them on the same day, and their purpose can be said to have been revealed.

After completing the filming of "The True Color of Heroes", Xiao Jian just rested for a few days before diving into the crew again, this time he was going to shoot the last two parts of the Crazy Boy series, "Crazy Boy: Dragon Fight" and "Crazy Boy: The Winner is King".

The two movies Xiao Jian took a month and a half to shoot, and the time was not as good as the film "The True Colors of Heroes", which is not that he treats them differently, but that the old boy really doesn't have any big scenes, but "The True Colors of Heroes" is different, he filmed several battle scenes over and over again, and he spent nearly a month and a half just on those battle scenes.

By the time Xiao Jian finished all the filming work, the time had come to December 22, and it would be Christmas Eve in 2 days.

is also on this day, the 5th part of the Crazy Boy series, Enter the Dragon has ended its release, a total of 34 days of release, after winning the local box office of 30.02 million, it was fully drawn, and it also completed the warm-up for the Christmas file, and also won the first city of the Christmas file for Xiao Jian.

Before Christmas, Xiao Jian filmed a total of eight films, six of which were released and won the local box office of 30 million, which can be said to have shocked the whole of Southeast Asia, and at this time, he has become the well-deserved number one commercial director in Hong Kong, and no one can shake his status.

6 films, all of which exceeded 30 million, that is to say, just the local box office of these 6 films, Xiao Jian bombarded an astonishing box office of more than 190 million, and its ability to attract money at the box office made all directors in Hong Kong silent.

And with this amazing news, "The True Color of Heroes", which premiered 2 days later, can be said to be known throughout Hong Kong, and everyone has no doubt that as long as it is not too bad, the box office of 30 million is definitely proper, and many people even guess that it will become the first film in Hong Kong to break through the box office of 40 million.

And looking at the reports about "The True Color of Heroes" and Xiao Jian all over the front page, all the people, Golden Harvest, New Art City, and even Run Run Shaw were silent, with the current edge of Xiao Jian, no one can stop its edge in this Christmas file.

Before the Christmas file started, Xiao Jian and "The True Color of Heroes" already had the momentum of box office champions, whether it was Cheng Long's "Police Story", or the classic series of "Best Partner", or other movies, it was difficult to compete with them.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Jianhao did not preferably set the last part of the "Crazy Boy Winner is King" series on January 1, New Year's Day, which is only 7 days away from the release date of "The True Color of Heroes".

Xiao Jian's move once again silenced countless opponents, in the face of the highly anticipated schedule of the Christmas file, everyone hopes that time will stop forever at this moment! (To be continued.) )
