Chapter 124: Heroes Released (Part II)
Chapter 124 Heroes Released (II)
When it comes to Hong Kong films, we have to mention "Hero Ben Sรจ", which set off a "hero film madness". It plays an important role in the development of Hong Kong's films.
The film fully brings together the contradictions between the brotherhood of the rivers and lakes (Song Zihao and Brother Xiaoma) and the biological brotherhood (Song Zihao and Song Zijie), reflecting their different setbacks, failures, repentance and revenge. These interpersonal conflicts make the film's sensational approach more enjoyable.
"You look nervous?" Zhang Yi glanced at Wu Yusen, who was sitting on his left, smiled, and said, "This film will definitely be successful." Believe me, he will definitely take the whole of Southeast Asia by storm! โ
"Thank you!" Wu Yusen smiled at Zhang Yi and said. However, looking at his expression, he was still a little nervous.
This movie is his turnaround. If even the film written by Zhang Yi fails to succeed, then his directorial career is estimated to be over.
Although "Hero Ben Sรจ" was written by Zhang Yi, it is still not favored by the media. Some media even said that this movie will be Zhang Yi's "Waterloo". Of course, the discourse of those media is not as direct as it used to be.
After all, Zhang Yi's "Waterloo" has been fried by them many times. And slapped again and again, those media are much more cautious about such words.
This film consists of an unwanted director, an outdated star, an idol singer who has just become popular, and an actor who has just said goodbye to "box office poison". Of course, what made the media criticize Zhang Yi the most was nothing more than handing over this movie to Wu Yusen. Therefore, Wu Yusen is undoubtedly the most stressful one.
The movie has already begun, and as the plot unfolds, the audience is all caught up in it and can't extricate themselves.
In the movie, there is naturally no shortage of jingcai dialogue.
"I've been a big brother for many years."
"I swear I'll never have a gun pointed at my head again."
"This thing has been in trouble for a lifetime."
"I've been waiting for three years, just to wait for an opportunity, I want to fight for a breath, a lot of people want to prove that they are great, I just want to tell everyone, what I lost must be taken back."
"Ah Yi, why do I think I've heard this line anywhere?" Zhou Huimin, who was on Zhang Yi's right, frowned, and then asked.
"Huh." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Fa Ge said almost the same thing in "Nightclub". โ
"You're not afraid that the media will grab your line and say that you're exhausted!" Wang Fatzi, who was sitting behind Zhang Yi, immediately said with an excuse.
"If the film fails, maybe it will. It's a pity that they don't have a chance. After the success of the movie, they made a fuss about this line, which obviously outweighed the losses. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"It's a really good movie. I didn't expect Ah Yi to write comedies, kung fu movies, or gangster shootout movies! Wang Jing smiled and said.
"Watch your movie!" Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and said.
"Bang!"
When Brother Xiao Ma played by Zhou Yunfa turned around and returned, but was hit by a shot and fell, the entire theater suddenly became silent, and countless people opened their mouths wide and were dumbfounded.
In "Hero Ben Sรจ", Zhou Yanfa's role is actually not the most, but it is undoubtedly the most brilliant one. People have already fallen in love with this chic and uninhibited little pony brother wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, holding a toothpick, and lighting a cigarette with a banknote.
I don't know how many people can't accept his death.
With this death, the character of Pony suddenly became a classic, and the whole film instantly rose to a new level. Classic, another classic movie. And it's another blockbuster film. Xu Ke said to Shi Nansheng beside him, and then looked at Zhang Yi next to Wu Yusen.
"It's cheap again!" Zou Wenhuai said with some sighs.
Although this movie is written by Zhang Yi, directed by Wu Yusen, and invested by Zhang Yi personally, the producer is Shaw Brothers, after all, Zhang Yi did not open a film company, or even a film studio. Moreover, this film was also screened at Shaw Brothers Cinemas.
"Shaw Brothers RI Bo Xishan, has been nearly discontinued. Shao Daheng focuses on the television industry, and with his age, Ten Men Jiu will give up on movies. A Zhang Yi can't support Shaw Brothers! He Guanchang said, suddenly thought of something, and then said, "You said Zhang Yi's movie, why was it released in Shaw Brothers Theaters?" Is he playing the idea of Shaw Brothers Cinemas? โ
"Quite possibly!" Zou Wenhuai frowned and then said, "Zhang Yi has countless industries, but there is no film company that he is good at, which is probably because he does not have a cinema chain in his hands." If he has a cinema chain in his hands, it is estimated that it will be a matter of time before he starts a film company. โ
At this time, he has become a climate, and he can't suppress it at all. If it is forcibly suppressed, he will fight back, and the gains outweigh the losses. He Guanchang shook his head and said, as if he regretted not being at the beginning.
"Try to be cooperative! He seems to have a natural acumen for his grasp of the market. Zou Wenhuai sighed and said. There is inevitably some bitterness in my heart. After leaving Shaw Brothers and founding Golden Harvest, now seeing that Shaw Brothers is about to withdraw from the film industry and end the three-legged situation, I didn't expect Zhang Yi to rise like a comet.
Zhang Yi has not opened a film company now, and it is already impossible to contain it. If he opened a film company, which one in Xiangjiang would still be his opponent.
He is a demon.
If Zhang Yi is just a screenwriter and a director. Let him write the screenplay, how good the director's movies are, and how good the connections are. Zou Wenhuai would not have such scruples about Zhang Yi at all. But Zhang Yi has a lot of money in addition to these. You can make any movie you want, and you don't have to rely on any film company at all.
Of course, Zhang Yi's biggest weakness now is that he does not have a theater in his hands. But once the Shaw Brothers' cinema chain fell into his hands. At that time, in Zou Wenhuai's opinion, Zhang Yi's threat was much greater than that of Xinyicheng. After all, he naturally saw the potential crisis within the new art city.
"I heard that Zhang Yi is going to co-produce a blockbuster with New Art City after filming "Resident Evil", and the investment is much more than "Resident Evil". That Lei Juekun's side invested 40 million. With Zhang Yi's Xing style, he must have invested a lot. Ho Kwan Cheong continued, "After the two blockbusters, the tastes of Hong Kong audiences are afraid that they will be raised, and the blockbuster era in Hong Kong may rise." Do we need to plan ahead? โ
"The Hong Kong market is too small, the investment is too large, and if you want to recover your costs, you have to rely on foreign markets. Let's see how the market reacts, shall we? Zou Wenhuai thought about it and then said.
He Guanchang stopped talking, and finally sighed and didn't say anything more. At this time, the movie ended, and the theater burst into overwhelming applause.
"Congratulations, you succeeded." Zhang Yi stretched out his hand and said to Wu Yusen with a smile.
"Thank you! Thank you! Wu Yusen was excited, tears couldn't help but flow, holding Zhang Yi's hand, a little out of shape.
"Let's go up and say a few words, everyone wait. I won't go up. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Seeing Wu Yusen come to the stage, Zhang Yi pulled Zhou Huimin and walked out, but he didn't expect that just a few steps away, a voice stopped him.
"Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Yi glanced back, but was a little surprised, and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Xu, your matter, Director Wu mentioned it to me, how about we find a place to talk?" โ
"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang." When Xu Ke heard this, he smiled and said.
