Chapter 54 "Serpentine Trickster" is released

Xu Guanjie saw that the second brother actually put on a broken jiashi, and knew that he had already strengthened his determination, so he had to remain silent and stop persuading him, but he made up his mind in his heart that before leaving, he must find out the details of this Stallone and see if the second brother was coerced by him.

On the same day, Xu Guanjie found the Screen Actors Guild in Hollywood to look up information about Stallone's acting skills, but was told that his membership had already been revoked because he had not paid his dues for a year.

Xu Guanjie did not give up, and found a private detective to investigate, and soon received the news.

It turned out that when Stallone first came to Hollywood, he went to various crews for interviews, so he submitted many resumes.

Among these resumes, Xu Guanjie made an amazing discovery.

……

"What do you say? Stallone has also made a restricted small movie? Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile.

"Well, I think he told you about the so-called acting experience before, and he was referring to this restricted movie." Xu Guanjie pointed to the row of small characters on his resume and said, "Second brother, if you look at his resume, he has no serious acting experience at all." is either a trick or a human flesh background, and the only time there are many scenes is this small movie. How can a person like this be the leading actor? ”

"Ah Sam, there are some things you don't understand." Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "You will go back tomorrow, and tell the eldest brother about it as I said yesterday." ”

"Second brother, weishenme, you are always stubborn and obsessed, that Stallone has no potential to be a big star at all. It's better to give a beggar a million dollars than to throw it into the water. Xu Guanjie saw that the evidence was conclusive, and the second brother was still so obsessed, he couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Ah SAM, am I obsessed, when the movie comes out at the box office, you can see the results. I don't want to quarrel with you right now, everything depends on the box office. Xu Guanwu didn't bother to argue with Xu Guanjie anymore, because no matter how you explain it, spitting and spitting lotus flowers is not as convincing as a large pile of dollars in front of you.

"Okay then, I'll report to my eldest brother when I go back to Hong Kong tomorrow." After Xu Guanjie got angry, he didn't bother to quarrel with his second brother anymore, so he went back to his room to sleep.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Guanjie took a plane back to Hong Kong.

"Ah Sam, I got news from within Golden Harvest, it seems that this project of Ah Wu is not very good. You've seen it for yourself, what is it like? Xu Guanwen asked worriedly.

Xu Guanjie shook his head in frustration and told what he had seen and heard, which frightened Xu Guanwen on the spot.

"Wouldn't it?! It's really that bad! Xu Guanwen was very surprised and said, "That person is so weak, how can he be the protagonist?" No, I'm going to call and wake up this stinky boy right away. I think he must have been in the United States for a long time, and his head is funny. ”

"Big brother, it's useless. In my opinion, the second brother is iron-hearted. Xu Guanjie shook his head and said with a look of regret, "He now recognizes that Stallone will become a big star, and the whole person is stunned, and he can't listen to anyone's words." ”

"What then? Why don't I go to the United States myself? Xu Guanwen said anxiously.

"Big brother, it's useless for you to go out in person! The second brother has a good temper recently, and he used to be silent, but now he is more like a stubborn donkey, who persuades whom. Xu Guanjie waved his hand.

"Alas! If he knew this, he shouldn't have been allowed to go to the United States in the first place. Xu Guanwen said with a look of regret, "This stinky boy has just made such a little success in Hong Kong, so he thought Shijie was so easy to mix, and he went to the United States to develop." The sixth uncle and Mr. Zou are so powerful, and they are not as bold as him. ”

"It's too late to say anything now, in my opinion, I'll send a million dollars to my second brother. When he finished the film, he woke up from his daydream. Xu Guanjie analyzed, "Otherwise, the more you don't let him shoot, he prefers to shoot, and after a long time, it will not only hurt his brother's feelings, but also make him fall into a dead end." ”

After listening to Xu Guanjie's suggestion, a psychology professional, Xu Guanwen could only breathe a sigh of relief, "In this case, let's wait for the box office of "Fa Qian Han" and "Serpentine Trickster" to come out, and then give him money." Anyway, these two films were prepared by him, even if Zuihou loses all of them, he will be busy for these two months. ”

Among the two dramas opened by Xu Brothers in the Spring Festival, "Serpentine Trickster" was completed first, and after post-processing, it was quickly put on the screen.

Because all the newcomers are the main players, Golden Harvest has little confidence in this film and only arranges for it to be released in its six theaters.

At the same time, the fight with "Serpentine Trickster" was Shaw Brothers' "Ghost Horse and Two King Kongs" and another kung fu film "Seven Provinces Boxing King" by Golden Harvest.

Shaw Brothers' "Ghost Horse and King Kong" knows that it is borrowed from and imitated by the Xu brothers' "Ghost Horse Double Star", but the core is still Shaw Brothers' old-fashioned kung fu film.

Golden Harvest's "Seven Provinces Boxing King" is starring Liu Yong, a handsome student, telling the story of a master with unique skills who is incognito, and finally jumps out to do chivalry for various reasons.

At midnight test screenings, "The King of Boxing in Seven Provinces" and "Serpentine Trickster" have received a lot of praise, but Shaw Brothers' "Ghost Horse and Two King Kongs" has received bad reviews.

The reason is that when everyone enters the theater with the name, they think they can daxiao again, but what they see is an old kung fu movie.

Selling dog meat on the head of a sheep is naturally difficult for the audience to buy.

So that night, more than 50 chairs were cut by the audience in Shaw Brothers' theaters, which can be described as a heavy loss.

And Golden Harvest saw that "Serpentine Trickster" had a good response, and decided to add two more theaters to release it.

On the first day of the release of "Serpentine Trickster", the box office performance reached 150,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is quite gratifying.

The other "Seven Provinces Boxing Champion" is only 80,000 Hong Kong dollars, a difference of nearly half.

And Shaw Brothers' "Ghost Horse and King Kong" is even worse, the number of screens is twice that of "Serpentine Trickster", but the box office is only 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to be extremely miserable.

Moreover, newspaper reviews are also bipolar, and film critics have given quite bitter criticism of Shaw Brothers' practice of selling dog meat on sheep's heads.

thinks that in addition to the name "Ghost Horse", the plot of this "Ghost Horse and Two King Kongs" is not "ghost horse" at all, and the performance is embarrassing with fake actions on the set, and there is almost no merit. If you score out of 5, you can only give one star.

And although the plot of Golden Harvest's "Seven Provinces Boxing King" is clichΓ©, it can also arouse the enthusiasm of the audience. And the handsome young Liu Yong played the starring role for the first time, playing well and steadily, without stage fright, and has already revealed the potential of a star. If you score out of five, you can score three stars.

For that "Serpentine Trickster", most film critics gave it a high evaluation. It is believed that it initially merged comedy, juggling and kung fu to create a new film genre.

And although the director Hong Jingbao, the leading actor Cheng Long and a group of actors are all newcomers, this movie is very interesting and colorful, and it is not simple.
