"Drunken Fist" is finished! When Lei Weidong heard the news, he could only sigh that it was not easy!

You must know that Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" has been in the filming stage since the end of April, and it has been more than six months now.

and "Tiger Field Chicken", which was filmed a little later than "Drunken Fist".

This action movie, directed by Mai Jia and starring Hong Jingbao and Liu Jiarong, was also launched at the end of April! But it's already in theaters in July!

And the box office is not bad, there are about two million, it can be said that Sanmao Brother has also made a small profit.

It can be said that compared with Cheng Long, Mai Jia and Hong Jingbao can also be regarded as fast knife players, although they are worse than the fast knife hand little fat man Wang Jing!

Of course, this shows that Cheng Long is strict with himself and strives for perfection in movies, and on the other hand, it also shows that Mai Jia, Hong Jingbao and others are more suitable for commercial film operations.

In his previous life, Hong Jingbao set up two film and television companies at the same time, Baohe and Debao, and good films were frequently released, and one person held up two large film and television companies, which is unprecedented in the Hong Kong film industry, and it is estimated that there is no one to come.

At that time, everyone was called a big brother, and Cheng Long was just a big brother.

However, success is also Xiao He defeat, Xiao He! Cheng Long's excellence in his movies has made his eldest brother dominate the film industry for decades, and he has always been popular with everyone! And Hong Jingbao and Mai Jia were in the limelight in the 80s, and even Cheng Long had to avoid them, but in the 90s, the two began to decline!

There are fewer and fewer starring films! In the end, he changed from a starring role to a supporting role!

In "Love Saint", Mai Jia played a role for the junior Zhou Xingxing, and Hong Jingbao played a supporting role for the Universe Dan in "Slaying the Wolf" and "Ip Man 2", all of which show that your audience should be a fool, and in the end you can only be a fool yourself.

Lei Weidong attaches great importance to the movie Drunken Boxing, in addition to the publicity of Jiahe Cinema, Lei Weidong also spent a lot of money in "Star Daily. Entertainment Edition" published a large number of advertisements, the leading actors, directors took photos and interviews, and large color photos were obvious.

In addition, on the promotional TV of Lei's supermarket store, the wonderful scenes of "Drunken Fist" and martial arts were also played in a loop, attracting passers-by to watch.

Now there are more than 70 stores in Hong Kong, and it has become the largest supermarket chain in Hong Kong, with an amazing daily flow of people.

Speaking of this propaganda TV, because the propaganda effect is first-class. Not only can movie clips be played, but TV commercials are the most important thing.

After only half a year of investment, a lot of advertising time was sold, and the cost of the previous investment was recovered early.

However, this mode of publicity and advertising, because it is simple and easy, is not only learned by some luxury stores, clothing stores, and household appliance stores, but also to set up TVs at the door and broadcast product advertisements in the store to attract passers-by.

For a while, it became a new fashion for shopping in Hong Kong, and even Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries hurriedly learned it. Later, it became one of the classic cases of marketing.

Because of the effective effect of the publicity, coupled with the popularity of "Serpentine Trickster", Cheng Long already has a certain reputation in Hong Kong, and all the movie tickets for the midnight show were sold out in just half a day, and the sales were gratifying.

On the day of the midnight show, Lei Weidong, Cheng Long and others arrived at the theater early.

Looking at the noisy crowd outside, Lei Weidong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ah Long! See, just seeing your name will make so many people come. It shows that after "Serpentine Trickster", you already have box office power, and after the release of "Drunken Fist", it is estimated that you will be the No. 1 martial arts superstar in Hong Kong! ”

"It's not all Lei Shao's promotion." Cheng Long said with a smile, "There is also the support of the senior brother, otherwise I would not have been able to make such a wonderful film on my own." ”

"That's right! The role of the Hong family class is huge. Lei Weidong smiled, "But Ah Long is gold, and it will shine wherever he throws it." After this movie, I see that you need to set up your own martial arts team, I will call it Cheng Jiaban! ”

"How can I raise those martial artists!" Cheng Long smiled and shook his head.

"Lei Shao! Let me introduce you to you, this time Mr. Luo! My benefactor, he found mine! Cheng Long said and introduced Lei Weidong.

"Mr. Luo, I've heard of it for a long time!" I still know about Luo Weilei Weidong, this is a cow who discovered Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long and Brother Jie, but people are too selfish, plus they know people and have vision, so they have no vision for filming, otherwise they will not end up betraying their relatives.

"Where, Mr. Lei, what do I count compared to you!" Luo Wei said politely: "Your success in Hollywood is what you admire!" ”

"You also follow what's going on in Hollywood?" Lei Weidong asked curiously.

"Of course, after all, that is the pinnacle of world cinema, as long as there are ideal filmmakers, who doesn't want to climb it?" Luo Wei laughed.

"Tangshan Big Brother" is not highly invested, only filmed in Thailand, director Wu Jiaxiang is generally famous, and he is not good at kung fu martial arts themes.

After Li Xiaolong became famous, Luo Wei has been encouraging Jiahe to use Li Xiaolong's film to test the waters in the United States, and the result is very popular, and Jiahe easily opened the American market.

"Then if you were really given the opportunity, you would still go to Hollywood to develop?" Lei Weidong asked with a smile.

"Of course you go, it's a fool not to go." Luo Wei shouted, "It's a pity that Li Xiaolong died suddenly, otherwise we would have gone to Hollywood a long time ago?" ”

"Li Xiaolong is gone, isn't there still Ah Long!" Lei Weidong nodded at Cheng Longdao, "Of course, now is not the best time to enter the United States, wait another seven or eight years, and I will buy one of the eight major Hollywood film companies." When the time comes, everyone can go to Hollywood to develop. ”

"Poof!" Cheng Long, who was drinking water on the side, heard this and immediately squirted out the water in his mouth.

"Lei Shao, don't scare me, it's really fake? Buy Hollywood's top eight studios? Cheng Long asked with wide eyes.

Now Hong Kong filmmakers want nothing more than to sell the film to Hollywood, Lei Weidong is good, he wants to buy Hollywood directly!

Lei Weidong smiled, "Aaron, don't be so surprised, if it weren't for the backlash of Hollywood's conservative forces, I would be able to buy one of the eight major film companies now?" Hundreds of millions of dollars mean little to me."

"In recent years, Hollywood has seen a sharp decline in the box office due to the impact of television, and several of the eight major film companies are now on the verge of bankruptcy. So you don't think they're rich, just make acquisitions. And they're eager to sell it to you. ”

Lei Weidong explained: "However, in Hollywood, the conservative forces are strong, and foreign forces will inevitably be counterattacked by them if they rush into the army, so for the sake of conservatism, it is better to wait a few years to have absolute certainty of starting!" ”

"A few hundred million dollars is still a small matter?" Hearing Lei Weidong's words, Cheng Long and Luo Wei glanced at each other, indicating that the rich man's world could not be understood.

If there were hundreds of millions of dollars, I wouldn't buy any film company, wouldn't it be more profitable to invest in real estate? Cheng Long swallowed his saliva and sighed.

"Okay, let's stop talking, the film will start soon, let's go inside and listen to the audience's opinions." Lei Weidong waved his hand and walked into the theater first.

Because of the large number of moviegoers, nearly 1,000 seats in the cinema were soon filled.

Seeing this scene, the red light soon lit up at the door of the theater, and the four big red characters of "full seats" shone in the middle of the night, which was both festive and eye-catching, revealing a sense of spirit.

"Poof, Auntie, what kind of film sells so well, the midnight show is still full, is there a film with color?" The vendor selling sugar cane at the door muttered.

"Films with color can't sell a full house, this is Cheng Long's kung fu film, I went to watch "Serpentine Trickster" when it was released, it looks very good, and it is completely different from ordinary martial arts films." A lady selling fish balls next to her said.

"It doesn't matter what kind of film he is, anyway, as long as it sells out, I'll just eat with this." The peddler muttered.

"With so many people coming in and out just now, you must have sold a lot." The lady who bought the fish balls said.

"It's all from the sugarcane gang, and sugarcane sells a lot, but popcorn and soda don't sell much?" The vendor spat and said, "Business is still good during the day, and popcorn sells a lot!" ”

"During the day, couples watch a lot of movies, and of course popcorn and soda sell well!" The lady who bought the fish balls smiled.

"Do you think those sugar cane gangs will make a scene!" The peddler asked, looking at the movie theater.

"Who knows, I guess it can't!" I've been setting up a stall in the cinema for a long time, and the aunt and the vendor all know the way the sugar cane gang is doing, the movie is not good, let alone smashing the screen, and the beating of actors and directors has happened!

Rumble! Rumble!

At this time, bursts of laughter can be heard in the theater, which can be heard on the street.

"Listen to the laughter inside, this movie must be good today." Aunt Yuwan smiled: "It is estimated that the Sugarcane Gang will not make a scene!" ”

"If it's good-looking, buy a ticket another day and go in and have a look!" Said the vendor.

"Why another day, we also bought tickets to go in when the next screening was held, today and Saturday, the circuit show, and there will be no rest at night." Aunt Yuwan smiled: "It's so late, there is no one except watching the movie, and I happened to be doing business after watching the movie!" ”

"Okay! Auntie will listen to you, and we will go in later! The peddler laughed.

The two of them chatted together, and before they knew it, more than an hour passed, and they heard bursts of applause suddenly come from the theater.

"Yo! The audience applauded so warmly. The peddler peeled the sugarcane and said, "Auntie, prepare, the Venerable Master!" “

"It's ready." The fish ball lady skillfully put the skewered fish balls into the pot and lit the fire.

As soon as the words were finished, an audience member had already walked out of the theater.

"Today's movie is really interesting, Cheng Long's Huang Feihong is different, I laughed to death."

"It's just that I'm tired of watching the old-fashioned Huang Feihong before, and now it looks like Cheng Long is still interesting."

"Why do I feel a little awkward, Master Huang is a famous martial arts master, how can he be so frivolous and funny."

"What you said is all rumors, I think Cheng Long is more real, who didn't have a young age!"

The audience walked out while discussing, and generally speaking, they were all satisfied with the movie, and the people who put forward their opinions were all supporters of the old-school Huang Feihong, but although these people had opinions about Huang Feihong played by Cheng Long, they all admitted that Cheng Long acted very well! Let everyone like it.
