"Best Partner U" is becoming more and more like UU7, which is probably Lin Xiaozhi's first feeling after watching this new movie in Xinyicheng.

Obviously, this movie, whose full name is "Best Partner: Saving the Duke", was influenced by the UU7 series of movies and his previous spy film - Red Alert. The film is mainly about the upheaval in Eastern Europe, the Soviet intelligence agency KGB received information that the mastermind behind a series of coups in Eastern Europe was the intelligence agencies of NATO countries, and launched a retaliatory action for this. An intelligence officer of the British MI5 who was operating in Southeast Asia fell into the trap of the KGB and was captured by the Soviets. Unfortunately, the captured intelligence officer is also the third in line to an old British family, and the two people in front of him will either die in a car accident or go missing on an expedition, and he will become the direct heir to a British duke. Unfortunately, the old duke had recently become terminally ill and could die at any moment

Due to tensions between Britain and the Soviet Union, the British government was unable to redeem him. Because there is news that the KGB may hide him in a KGB agent training base somewhere in Vietnam, the soon-to-do old duke sent his personal secretary PLL89 Miss Hong Kong champion Chen Farong through some channels to find the best partners in Hong Kong - bad gambling police officer Chen Dali (Chen Baixiang) and the lascivious private detective Black Jack ±Zhentao), who loves to pretend to be a cool fishing woman, hoping to ask the two of them to rescue his heir who is in prison.

The plot continues the consistent imprecision of Hong Kong films, not to mention that a future British duke's heir ran to be an agent, and the British duke in the back did not ask MI5 but turned around and ran to Hong Kong, thousands of miles away, asking an unreliable police officer and an even more unreliable detective to save people, and the Soviet intelligence agencies could also establish a base in Vietnam and arrange a large number of troops outside the base. Of course, if you don't care about these unreasonable places, this new film in Xinyicheng will still make progress.

The scene design completely surpassed the past five "Best Partner" series, especially Chen Baixiang, who was thirteen in his outfit of thirteen, smoking a cigar from a helicopter while holding a heavy machine gun in his arms, and a look of Schwarhig and Stallone possessed from the sky, wanting to rescue Zhong Zhentao, an unreliable partner who was overturned by the KGB beauty spy pills played by Yuan Yuyi, but he was even more unreliable and was arrested. After infiltrating the base to rescue people, the rocket ejection helicopter and the scene of the explosion at the base are also extremely spectacular, and the scale of the explosion in the entire history of Hong Kong films can also rank among the top three.

In addition, a large number of foreigners are used in the film, and there are many fight scenes between Zhong Zhentao and Chen Baixiang and foreign actors. The script that Huang Baiming personally grinded made the whole movie full of jokes, which made Lin Xiaozhi feel that the trip was worthwhile, and at the same time, he also realized that this movie was a success.

Indeed, the new art city claimed to have invested 60 million yuan to shoot "Best Partner U" was successful, and the first day of box office came out of the noise of the Hong Kong film industry, this sequel, which was not favored by most filmmakers, faced the curse of the fifth box office hit the street and the word-of-mouth plummeted when it was announced, but by virtue of the tenacious win of the box office of U million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, the former overlord of the new art city, finally after spending the entire first half of the silence, raised his head and announced "We are back"

gave Li Jiaxin a rare day of rest, and Lin Xiaozhi soon returned to the company and resumed his former busyness.

The mainland film delegation did not make any big moves on the first day of the south, and on the second day, most of the time was spent in Yindu, and Lin Xiaozhi didn't know whether this was an exchange between state-owned enterprises in the system or something. However, seeing that the delegation was not in a hurry, he had already heard the wind from Lu Li in advance, but he did not panic, and patiently waited for Xie Tieli and them to visit.

Sure enough, it didn't make him wait long. On the third day after the mainland film delegation arrived in Hong Kong, Xie Tieli and Lu Li came to the headquarters of Media Asia, the Bank of Kowloon Building.

“…… It is said that Hong Kong's film industry is developed, but we have only heard about it before, and we don't know how far it has come. After seeing it yesterday, it was very impressive. ”

Introduced into the conference room of Media Asia, Xie Tieli put down Lin Xiaozhi's new secretary and poured him a cup of tea, with emotion on her face. The main leaders of several delegations found a few 'tour guides' from Yindu, and then turned around the four major cinemas of Golden Harvest, Debao, Golden Princess, and Xinbao, and also bought tickets to watch a few movies, and learned about the box office boom in Hong Kong's summer market

Lin Xiaozhi didn't know what they had about their private voyage yesterday, but after listening to a few of them talk about their movie-watching experience at a glance, he shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Xie, you don't need to envy Hong Kong's current situation at all. On the contrary, it is us Hong Kong filmmakers who should envy the future of the mainland."

The mainland's film industry is not well developed, which is obvious to all. But don't mainland movies make money? Don't mainland people like to watch movies? Missing

A dime a movie ticket (mainly for the inland film source area screening price, some coastal areas ticket price more than a dime), "Shaolin Temple" sold a box office of 400 million yuan, hundreds of millions of people have watched this movie, it can be seen that although the mainland that has just started reform and opening up is a little poor, but the people's pursuit of spiritual enjoyment is very urgent.

And how much was the filming investment of "Shaolin Temple"? It is conservatively estimated that it is only about 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and it can only be regarded as a medium-investment film in Hong Kong this year, not counting the income of the mainland, it has got a box office of more than 16UU more than 16UU in Hong Kong alone, and it has sold overseas films from Japan, Southeast Asia, the United States, Europe and other overseas at a high price of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, making a lot of money for the mainland and Central Plains Film Company.

The two people stand in different positions, and the scenery they naturally see is different. Xie Tieli can only see the prosperity of Hong Kong's film industry today, but she can't see that for Hong Kong, which has a population of only 6 million, now may be the peak of its prosperity. However, Lin Xiaozhi does not look at the mainland now, but ten or twenty years later, far surpassing Hong Kong at its peak, second only to the United States in the world's largest box office market.

Of course, when he said this now, Xie Tieli and the others only thought that he was envious of the mainland's human and material resources, and he didn't feel very proud. Although the reform has begun to change the entire continent from the roots after more than ten years, in the final analysis, it is still a poor and impoverished country, especially since it still has a population of more than one billion, and it is not in the world per capita, so it is impossible to say that these people are now envious of the prosperity of Hong Kong.

Several people chatted for a while, and exchanged their views on movies for a while, among which Lin Xiaozhi and Xie Tieli were the most talked, Lu Li asked him about the operation of film companies, the operation of film copyrights, and the construction of overseas distribution channels, and rarely spoke at other times. On the contrary, Han Sanping, who Lin Xiaozhi has been paying attention to, rarely speaks from beginning to end, and spends more time sitting on the side with a smile on his face and listening to the three of them communicate, but from time to time he writes something in a notebook in his hand, and his expression is very serious.

After chatting for a while, he finally got into the topic, and Lu Li took the initiative to speak, which shocked Lin Xiaozhi's spirit, "Lin Sheng still remembers what I said at lunch the day before yesterday, in fact, this time I went south with the team, and I also had a task, that is, our Beijing Film Group, hoping to introduce three films from Media Asia Group, and wait for the opportunity to operate and release them in the mainland in the second half of the year." ”

Lin Xiaozhi's spirit was shocked: "Of course I remember, this is a good thing." When I went north at the beginning of the year, I mentioned this when I communicated with Minister Ai of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television. However, it was not immediately approved at the time, and now I finally hear a reply. In my personal opinion, Hong Kong will return to the embrace of the motherland in 97, and we Hong Kong filmmakers will also be part of Chinese-language films, but the mainland's film language is Mandarin, while we use a narrower Cantonese. ”

"That's true, but I also ask Lin Sheng for your understanding of the difficulties on the mainland. Our mainland practices socialism, and Hong Kong follows the capitalist line, and some differences in ideology will affect unhindered communication, of course, we are also trying to overcome these, but the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television still has some scruples and restrictions on the films introduced.

Lin Xiaozhi nodded when he heard this, but his heart sank. The mainland will impose restrictions on the introduction of Hong Kong films, which he expected. Even before he was reborn, there were countless classics of Hong Kong films and American blockbusters that were dressed up for one reason or another, and the only thing he is worried about now is what kind of restrictions will the mainland set?

You must know that Lu Dao is now he, for which three movies to choose to enter the mainland for release, he already has a stomach in his heart, it is "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun", "Resident Evil" and "Black Man" The three films invested by Media Asia this year are the best, I believe that once these three films are released on the mainland, they will definitely cause a lot of sensation, even if they can't compare to the storm caused by "Shaolin Temple" back then, at least they can cause a lot of movie-watching craze.

Of course, the premise is that it can pass the nod of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television. Among these three movies, "Huang Feihong: Top Gun" is just that, and the theme of Huang Feihong's martial arts and patriotism is not difficult to pass the nod of the bigwigs of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television. But the other two former "Resident Evil" are a little bit bloody and bloody, and the latter has a lot of violent fight scenes.

In a word, he has no bottom in his heart.
