failed to find a topic from the first movie "The Saint of Gambling", which broke 40 million at the box office, and some Hong Kong media were indeed disappointed for a while. But with the skyrocketing box office of "Red Alert", more and more praises have begun to increase, and there are more and more different voices.

In just over half a year, Next Magazine has been able to snatch hundreds of thousands of readers who are keen on entertainment and gossip news from the hands of Oriental Daily, the king of Hong Kong's print media, not only by the exclusive news brought by the pervasive paparazzi, but also by its endless lower limit. Red Alert has sparked a lot of buzz lately, and the latest edition of Next Magazine won't miss it, with a short review of a self-proclaimed film critic under the pen name '

“…… Liu Dehua's acting skills are blunt, the heroine is a vase except for leaving the audience with the impression that the red apricot is out of the wall, the plot of the movie is exaggerated, except for the scene where the money is smashed, the whole movie has almost no merit"

As soon as "Red Alert" came out, the starring Liu Dehua was pushed to the cusp of the storm. Fans who love him cheer for the idol finally starring in a movie to prove that he doesn't rely on his face and has acting skills. But more accusations followed. Even director Lin Xiaozhi chose to shoot more than a dozen movies a year, not only won the iron man, but also was crowned the king of bad movies, and Liu Dehua with the title of the leading actor is also considered to be the biggest mistake of his popular movie. There is no shortage of film critics in the media who lamented that if an actor with better acting skills can be replaced, the movie will undoubtedly be better.

Regarding the questioning of such eggs, Lin Xiaozhi scoffed and didn't bother to respond.

Frankly speaking, Liu Dehua's acting skills are really not good. Although his acting skills have been corrected by himself for a few months, he has reduced a lot of deliberately cool and unnecessary actions, but he is still not first-class. It's just that his performance is much better than his performance in many movies in the past, at least in his mind, he gave Liu Dehua a score of 70 points that exceeded the passing line. Under Liu Jiahui's tutelage, Liu Dehua has suffered a lot in the past few months, and several fight scenes in the movie have been filmed extremely hard and cool, anyway, the movie is not a martial arts action drama, it is absolutely enough to do this.

Relying on the crazy advertising campaign in cooperation with ATV, the first week of release of "Red Alert" brought unimaginable first-week box office data to New Asia. Although on the sixth and seventh days of the release, with the arrival of a new week, a large number of office workers began to resume working day after day, which caused the box office, which once climbed to 3 million in a single day, to decline, but due to the word-of-mouth fermentation brought by more audiences watching the movie on two rest days on the weekend, the box office on both days stood firmly above 2 million in a single day. At the same time, it also adds to the legend of "Red Alert".

In the first week of its release, the box office of "Red Alert" not only exceeded 15 million Hong Kong dollars, a box office that the vast majority of filmmakers in Hong Kong can only look up to, but also reached a height of more than 16.3 million Hong Kong dollars. When "Cheng Pao", Lin Xiaozhi's semi-royal media, was still the first to release this hour, the Hong Kong film industry was silent for a short time.

Now, no one doubts that this film, which was in full swing in its first week of release, can become the second film to exceed 40 million Hong Kong dollars after only a month of its birth. They are more curious and concerned about where the final box office of "Red Alert" can go

With this small expectation, "Red Alert" was first released in Taiwan theaters with the momentum of the rainbow, only eight days later than the release in Hong Kong.

As for the distributor, although the four major state-owned distributors in Taiwan paid a good buyout fee for New Asia before the film was released in Hong Kong, Lin Xiaozhi finally chose to continue to hand over the Taiwan distribution rights to Cai Songlin's scholar company. Even among the four major state-owned distributors, some people gambled at a sky-high price of 13.3 million Hong Kong dollars to buy out all the distribution rights of Red Alert in Taiwan, and Cai Songlin took the initiative to give up the buyout because he was worried that the asking price of the film New Asia, which claimed to have invested 50 million, was too high, and he had been negotiating with him to share the 40 box office dividends.

Another important reason why Cai Songlin is reluctant to offer a high price for "Red Alert" is that he has just spent a huge amount of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to buy out the distribution rights of "The Saint of Gambling" from Xinya after it was released in Taiwan, which caused Cai Songlin to lose a lot of money.

Unlike "God of Gamblers", which created a box office of nearly NT$60 million (about 18 million Hong Kong dollars) in just over a month after its release, because the audience in Taiwan has not yet accepted the nonsensical style of the star like Hong Kong fans, it took two weeks for the box office of "The Saint of Gamblers" to exceed NT$10 million after it landed in Taiwan at the end of September. So at that time, Lin Xiaozhi's Red Alert began to release rumors to the outside world and prepared to be released, and began to advertise on ATV.

Although Cai Songlin still came to Hong Kong to win the film that Lin Xiaozhi claimed to have invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars, he was only willing to pay a buyout fee of just over 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and then learned from Lin Xiaozhi that the four major state-owned distributors in Taiwan offered him a higher price. Cai Songlin, who lost the gamble, cautiously and tentatively proposed a 40% box office dividend, and also promised that the distribution rights of Taiwan's videotapes would be counted separately. He didn't expect to be able to persuade Xinya to hand over the film to scholars to operate, but he didn't want Lin Xiaozhi to quickly reply, and Red Alert was handed over to scholars to operate.

Cai Songlin was still surprised that New Asia did not want to buy out at a sky-high price, and this surprise was not only him, but even the four major Taiwanese distributors who contacted New Asia for the first time also felt the same way. But soon, they vaguely realized that they were probably wrong. When the crazy box office of "Red Alert" in the first week of its release in Hong Kong reached Taiwan, Cai Songlin, who was still thinking about whether to quietly reduce the number of screenings of "Red Alert", immediately came to his senses.

Taiwan's entertainment industry has been closely linked to Hong Kong since the 60s, and information has even reached the point of almost synchronization. And when this film became popular at the Hong Kong box office and claimed to have invested more than 160 million Taiwan dollars (about 50 million Hong Kong dollars) landed in Taiwan, the box office created not only surprised Lin Xiaozhi, who was a little nervous, but even Cai Songlin began to get angry and had a toothache, regretting that he did not choose to buy out the movie.

Because, on the first day of its release in Taiwan, the box office of "Red Alert" brutally exceeded 3 million Taiwan dollars, which is slightly higher than the annual tear-jerking drama "Love Letter", only under the American blockbuster "Die Hard", which just won the crown of Taiwan's box office champion this year. On the second day, it increased by more than NT$500,000 compared with the previous day, and on the third day, the box office even exceeded NT$5 million in a single day, almost completely replicating the domineering of "Die Hard" when it swept the Taiwan box office in the summer file.

With the box office in the first week of its release in Taiwan, Cai Songlin's toothache seems to be getting worse and worse. The box office of 10,000 Taiwan dollars (about 850,000 Hong Kong dollars) not only surpassed "The Saint of Gambling", which was released in Taiwan three weeks earlier than it, but even surpassed "Look Who Talks", which ranked tenth in Taiwan's box office this year as of the end of October, only in the first week of its release, shocking the whole of Taiwan in one fell swoop.

At this time, Red Alert, which had just ended its second week of release in Hong Kong, almost became the first film to exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in just two weeks of release with a total box office of 28.63 million Hong Kong dollars

The storm of Red Alert swept across Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even gradually spread to Southeast Asia and other parts of East Asia

At this moment, Lin Xiaozhi, who had been silent for more than a month, finally took the phone and dialed a phone number.

"Dong Li, I have a small private party tomorrow night, do you have time to sit down......
