In the 82nd year of the Xiangjiang Spring Festival, Princess Jin took the lead and presented the 'big production zuò': the best partner, which set a record for the highest cost of the highest system. This Hong Kong version of the OO7 movie, which cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, did not disappoint Princess Jin, and the audience was overwhelming as soon as it was released, and finally won an astonishing box office of more than 26 million Hong Kong dollars, raising the highest box office record in Hong Kong by nearly 10 million. Although at the beginning of the new year, the ticket price of Xiangjiang movies has increased by two yuan, but compared with the box office, the number of moviegoers is as high as 2 million, and in Xiangjiang, which now has a population of only 5 million, it is equivalent to 40% of the citizens who have watched this epoch-making comedy. This frighteningly high record of moviegoers has not been surpassed until later generations, second only to the Jingwumen of kung fu superstar Li Xiaolong ten years ago. Of course, the myth of Li Xiaolong's creation of zào is basically not crossed by anyone.

Not to be outdone, Golden Harvest launched the kung fu comedy Young Master Long starring Chen Long five days after the Best Partner screening.

Chen Long has not been very happy in the past two years, after losing Li Xiaolong, a kung fu superstar, Golden Harvest has been looking for support for new action actors for nearly a decade with the intention of reopening the door to Hollywood, and finally Golden Harvest's chosen candidate is Chen Long.

The year before last, Chen Long's first film shot in Hollywood, Killer Trench, was released, and the film did okay at the box office in the United States, but the reputation was mediocre. European and American audiences are still nostalgic for Li Xiaolong's fist-to-flesh, fast and sharp martial arts style, and at the beginning of watching the movie, they gave great enthusiasm to this co-production starring the Xiangjiang actor who is known as 'Li Xiaolong's second', but after watching the movie in the cinema, it is not the case at all. Chen Long's witty action style failed to meet the expectations of Western audiences, and the film's juggling action design was not recognized. Unfortunately, Xiangjiang audiences were also extremely disappointed with this movie, and in the eyes of Xiangjiang people, this movie mixed with Western action style was even inferior to the old Shaw Brothers action movie. This movie won the box office in the West and lost its reputation, but when it returned to its hometown, it was a word-of-mouth box office loss, and it hit the streets.

The second movie, Cannonball, made a lot of box office in the West, but the two generals of Golden Harvest, Chen Long and Xu Guanwen, only got a role in the movie, and to put it bluntly, it was still a Hollywood movie. And back in Xiangjiang, the audience is also very unhappy with this movie that cheats on Chen Long's sign. The current Xiangjiang people don't look down on Western action movies at all, just two big men, you punch me and I punch over, I don't know how to hide, I want more than two and more two.

After more than a year of a bitter Hollywood career, Chen Long returned to Xiangjiang last year. If you don't come back, Hollywood won't be famous, and your hometown will be lost. And Young Master Long, who was pushed out by Golden Harvest to fight with the Golden Princess, was also pressed by the best partner, if it weren't for Golden Harvest's gritted teeth and full support, the final box office would be difficult to guarantee even 10 million, dwarfed.

Old-fashioned kung fu movies are no longer popular, and Hollywood has not accepted itself, so how should it go in the future? Now Chen Long is confused.

And within Golden Harvest, Boss Zou has not been in a good mood recently. Failing to win the best partner made Zou Wenhuai extremely unhappy, last year finally relied on the 17 million of modern bodyguards to regain the box office champion, but I didn't expect that in less than a year, not only the box office champion was snatched by the golden princess who was regarded as a thorn in his side, but also the record was raised by nearly 10 million, and it was almost impossible to regain it in the short term.

And another movie made Golden Harvest lose face: Shaolin Temple! This film shot in the mainland was screened on the same day as Young Master Long, and unlike Young Master Long's vigorous publicity, Shaolin Temple has hardly done publicity except for putting two posters at the door of the cinema, and the low-key one can't be more low-key.

Burdened by the disadvantages of publicity, the box office of this movie was not high in the early stage, and the attendance rate of Shuangnan Cinema, a leftist cinema line that belongs to mainland assets in Xiangjiang, was only two or three percent, and no one noticed this movie. But after more than ten days of word-of-mouth brewing, the movie finally exploded with amazing strength, and even overshadowed the best partner for a period of time. After a month of broadcasting, it looks like it is about to break through 16 million box office. If it weren't for the lack of theater resources covered by Shuangnan Cinemas, this movie would definitely not be more than this achievement, you must know that Shuangnan's theaters are basically piled up in the corner of Xiangjiang, and not like mainstream cinemas like Golden Harvest Shaw Golden Princess, which basically cover the entire territory of Xiangjiang.

The movies starring its celebrities were pressed under the opponent not to mention, and even the non-mainstream cinema chains, which had been sluggish, also rode on the head of Golden Harvest, making Boss Zou in the office angry and just wanted to smash things.

A moment later, the phone rang. Zou Wenhuai suppressed the anger in his heart and picked up the phone.

"Boss, Mr. He and Mr. Chen are here." It was her young female secretary who spoke.

"Let them come in, they don't need to report when they come in the future, just come in." One is his old friend and partner, and the other is his own general, and he still relies on and trusts the two Zou Wenhuai.

"Okay boss."

After a few seconds, the door was pushed open. He Guangchang and Chen Long walked in one after another.

"Wen Huai." "Uncle Huai."

"Sit down." In front of his old friends and generals, Zou Wenhuai put away all his anger and smiled gently.

However, as an old friend who has been friends for many years, how could He Guangchang not see the unhappiness in Boss Zou's heart. Sighing in his heart, He Guangchang persuaded: "Wenhuai, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. What was Shaw Brothers like? It's not that we've lost my temper yet. This time, it's just a matter of waiting patiently for a few more years, so let's open some. ”

"yes." Zou Wenhuai said with a strong smile. "At the beginning of the year, we were also pressed by the Shaw Brothers, but since we won Li Xiaolong, we haven't made the Shaw Brothers proud in the past ten years, and now it will not be bad to change to an opponent."

In the competition with the Shaw Brothers back then, the most proud thing Zou Wenhuai did was to spend a lot of money to snatch Li Xiaolong from Shao Tycoon. As a result, Li Xiaolong's cousin did not disappoint Boss Zou, not only dominating the Xiangjiang River, but also successfully rushing into Hollywood with Golden Harvest. The benefits returned to Boss Zou are ten times higher than the pay. After Li Xiaolong's untimely death, Golden Harvest cultivated Xu Guanwen, a cold-faced smiler, and later dug up Chen Long, a kung fu student, and set up two more gold-lettered signboards in the Xiangjiang film industry. However, what has always made Zou Wenhuai haunted is that with the death of Li Xiaolong, the door of Hollywood is slowly closed again, and no one in Xiangjiang can take over Li Xiaolong's class.

But listening to Zou Wenhuai's words, Chen Long felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he was the person he found to succeed Li Xiaolong, but compared with Li Xiaolong, he was still far away, Hollywood did not have a foothold, not to mention, these few times in Xiangjiang could not guarantee the box office, and it was in vain that Golden Harvest so much effort and financial resources were wasted.

"I'm sorry Uncle Huai, I disappointed you." Chen Long felt a little guilty, he really tried his best for Jiahe, but he didn't return decent results.

Zou Wenhuai glanced at Ai Jiang in surprise and said with a smile: "I'm not comparing you with Li Xiaolong, he is him and you are you." Although you don't have his results yet, I believe that you will go out of your own way, and you will not necessarily be worse than him in the future. I believe in my own vision, whether it's him or you, I haven't missed it. It doesn't matter if it's not going well now, it'll be fine in a year or two. ”

Listening to the boss's comfort, Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief. At least the boss hasn't given up on himself, but Chen Long doesn't know how to go in the future. After all, this is a film company, and if there has been no results, the boss will have to consider supporting newcomers to take the position no matter how much he values himself. Grades are your confidence.

Although Zou Wenhuai said this, he did not have regrets in his heart. Li Xiaolong's death nine years ago really caught him off guard. In the first few years, I have been looking for actors with a similar style to Li Xiaolong, but unfortunately they have been unsatisfactory, and many newcomers have been supported but cannot be accepted by the market.

Li Xiaolong is unique, and his style is built on his own strengths. He's not just an action movie superstar, he's a real-life martial arts master. When Li Xiaolong went to Thailand for a vacation in 72, the Thai boxing champion came to challenge, but he didn't even last three seconds in his hands, this is a real boxing champion and not a martial arts star. In the sixties and seventies when racial discrimination was rampant in Europe and the United States, Li Xiaolong's rise attracted all kinds of martial arts masters to challenge. Black market champions, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champions, and what other karate, taekwondo, gladiatorial stars...... No one beat him, but let him take the Noldor title, and even the boxing champion Ali admired his fighting skills. One vote racist can only shut up. In this way, he broke out of the sky with his fists and feet, and there are countless fans in the East and the West. If you want to copy Li Xiaolong's style, you can only rely on the editing and special effects of later generations, and now people can only learn to draw tigers instead of anti-dogs.

Zou Wenhuai, who had no hope of finding Li Xiaolong's second place, finally took a fancy to a young man with a very different style from Li Xiaolong, Chen Long, who could make action movies witty.

Although Chen Long's performance in the past two years has disappointed him a little, to put it bluntly, this is a matter of style, and it has nothing to do with Chen Long himself, Chen Long is one of the hardest working actors he has ever seen.

"I still haven't found the right way." Zou Wenhuai thought secretly.

Looking at Zou Wenhuai, who was at a loss, He Guangchang also frowned, he actually disagreed with Zou Wenhuai's idea of impacting Hollywood, but Boss Zou was amazingly courageous, and Chen Long was his own son, so it was hard to say anything. In his opinion, if he focuses on Xiangjiang in the past two years, he will never let Princess Jin and Xinyicheng become bigger. But now that the general trend of people has become a reality, they will fight with others in the future. Previously, Princess Jin relied on Li Xuechu's movies to make a few big splashes, and she thought it was good luck. Now that this movie that swept through Xiangjiang comes out, we can't wait to take it lightly, this movie has nothing to do with Li Xuechu.

Thinking of this, He Guangchang had an idea and said: "Why don't we ask Li Xuechu to write a movie for Chen Long, his scripts have always been brilliant, and there will be no accidents this time." ”

Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and said, "This is also a way, Guangchang, you can contact him about this matter and ask him to go to the Peninsula Hotel to discuss." ”

It's not appropriate to call people to their own offices like before, this kid is rising too fast now, and his net worth is over himself, and he doesn't know what people will think when he calls others to the office like this way of treating his subordinates.

sighed in his heart, in fact, he had already moved this idea, but Boss Zou didn't know how to face this posterior boy for a while. After all, I am a senior, and I can't wipe my face to 'beg for someone', but this time my old friend brought it up to give me a step down.

At this time, Li Xuechu was accompanying his girlfriend to watch Shaolin Temple in the cinema.

Li Lianjie's debut work has won him a solid audience and laid a solid foundation for his rise in later generations.

The movie Shaolin Temple can be called a divine drama in Chinese films, and later generations have recorded a total global box office of 170 million US dollars. Although it is not as high as the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon of later generations, this is eighty-two years! In '82, the mainland ticket price was only a dime, less than one percent of that of later generations, but it still won more than 100 million at the box office. In Xiangjiang, Europe and the United States, the ticket price is only about one-fifth to one-tenth of that of later generations, if converted by purchasing power, it is several times that of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Although for Li Xuechu, who has passed through a year or four, this movie is too old to be old, he still watches it with relish. Sitting on the wooden seat of Shuangnan Cinema, looking at Li Lianjie, who is still a pink newcomer, and then looking up at the changing pillar of light projected by the projector on the screen, Li Xuechu vaguely felt like returning to his childhood.
