404 [Boba Advent]

Before the release of "Deadly Express", many fans of Cheng Long would be worried that "Fatal Express" would become the second "Killer Trench", thinking that a strong director would erase Cheng Long's film characteristics. But director Kang Jianfei is obviously very measured about this, and after watching "Deadly Express", you will find that the familiar Cheng Long on the screen is still the same as everyone on the screen, but he has changed from a kung fu kid to a former Flying Tiger member who lives in seclusion overseas.

The story in the movie takes place in Italy, and the way the heroine Lin Qingxia appears is eye-catching, and the heroic rescue scene at the beginning is not out of the ordinary, because Lin Meiren is not a weak person this time......

From the perspective of the movie as a whole, Cheng Long is a well-deserved protagonist, so the director reduced the number of appearances of Lin Qingxia, which makes the whole movie more prioritized. And the French kiss Sophie? Marceau's appearance, the image of the weak mafia princess, has captured a lot of Hong Kong fans.

As for the appearance of several professional boxing champions, it adds a lot to the action scenes of the film, the super realistic and sharp style of punches and kicks, combined with Cheng Long's juggling and funny fights, can be said to complement each other and complement each other, making the action scenes of the whole film hearty and laughable......"

Although Chen Bosen believes that "Fatal Express" does not meet his psychological expectations, the film reviews he wrote in "Film Fortnightly" are still full of praise.

It's not that Chen Bosen said good things to Kang Jianfei out of conscience, but that this movie is really not dark, and it is almost perfect and flawless in terms of plot, acting, shots, recordings, soundtracks, art, action design, etc. "Deadly Express" is not only a top action movie in Hong Kong, but also one of the best films in the world.

It's just that "Deadly Express" is just a commercial action movie, and it has no ideological and artistic connotation. even made sacrifices in order to accommodate Cheng Long. Lin Qingxia and Sophie Marceau's acting skills don't have much room to play, and the biggest selling point of the whole film is Cheng Long's witty action scenes.

The skyrocketing box office is the audience's biggest recognition of "Fatal Express", the joint screening of the two theaters makes the number of screenings sufficient, "Fatal Express" is only full in theaters in a few prime locations, and the sustainable box office growth is still too strong.

The box office of more than 4.6 million was recorded on the first day, and the box office of 3.37 million was still recorded on the second day, and the single-day box office on the third day was 2.48 million. In other words, "Fatal Express" broke 10 million at the box office in just three days, which made everyone in the Hong Kong film industry look sideways.

It's a pity that Hong Kong's audience base is too small, after three consecutive days of box office frenzy. The number of moviegoers for "Deadly Express" has dropped sharply. In addition, a few days after the Christmas holiday, the single-day box office in the next few days was barely more than 1 million.

The box office of "Fatal Express" in the first week was a little bit close to reaching 15 million, but at this time, it ushered in the New Year's Day, and the single-day box office rebounded to more than 2 million again.

After a few days of the New Year's Day holiday, it has been two weeks since the release of "Deadly Express". The cumulative box office in Hong Kong reached 23.04 million. By this time, the peak of the box office had passed, and the New Era Cinema and Golden Harvest Cinema had once again reduced the number of screenings. The single-day box office of "Deadly Express" fell to about 800,000. And it's still decreasing.

When "Fatal Express" was released four weeks later, the cumulative box office finally exceeded the 30 million mark, and only a few theaters were left in the two major theater chains to release the film. However, after the first round of screenings, some small theaters are buying copies at low prices, preparing for a second round of screenings around the New Year, and it is estimated that the second round of screenings will sell two or three million box office.

Another Hong Kong film broke 30 million at the box office. This is a major event in the Hong Kong film industry, Zou Wenhuai didn't wait for the film to be painted, and held a celebration banquet for the crew to celebrate the box office harvest. And the protagonists of the celebration banquet are naturally Jiahe and Cheng Long. Kang Jianfei's side has become a supporting role.

Just like Zou Wenhuai's good calculations at the beginning, if this movie is successful at the box office, it will naturally be Cheng Long's transformation masterpiece, and it can also take the opportunity to promote Cheng Long to the Western market. And once the box office hits the street, then the infamy is borne by Kang Jianfei, the director, because it was the director who shot the film on the street.

Jiahe hurriedly held a celebration banquet, and also invited Kang Jianfei and many other artists and employees under him, so that Kang Jianfei couldn't participate in it, so he could only honestly go to the banquet as a supporting role.

The celebration banquet is set up at Fu Linmen Restaurant, where the consumption is more expensive than Li Yuan.

When Kang Jianfei appeared with Lin Qingxia in his arms, he was dazzled by a flash light as soon as he opened the car door. No need to ask, most of these reporters were invited by Jiahe, and Zou Wenhuai was ready to let Cheng Long be in the limelight.

"Mr. Kang, what are you going to shoot in your next movie?"

"Miss Lin, I heard that during the filming of "Fatal Express", Mr. Kang chartered the entire hotel restaurant to celebrate your birthday, do you have any plans to get married?"

"Miss Lin, are you confident that you will be nominated for the actress of this Academy Award with "Deadly Express"?"

“……”

The reporter chased after the two and asked questions to the two, Kang Jianfei just smiled and escorted Lin Qingxia into the restaurant, and it took a long time to get rid of the reporter's entanglement.

These reporters are not expecting to cover any news, and it is enough to take a photo of the two holding hands, and when they see the next celebrity on the scene, they immediately flock to interview them.

Pan Yingzi got out of a stretched Lincoln, followed by Zhou Xingchi and Ye Zimei. She is not as simple as a star now, since the rapid growth of Oriental Entertainment Company, Pan Yingzi, who served as the general manager, has become a hot figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Only the more than 100 signed stars under the Oriental Entertainment Company are enough to make Pan Yingzi extraordinary, and the bosses of those independent film companies have to be careful.

The reporters' attention to Pan Yingzi is not much less than that of Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia, and a flash of light shook Ye Zimei, who had never seen a big scene.

Of course, the reporter noticed that Zhou Xingchi and Ye Zimei, who went to the banquet with Pan Yingzi, Zhou Xingchi was very famous when he was the host, and then filmed the hit drama "He is from the rivers and lakes", and his fame rose rapidly.

Although Ye Zimei is a fresh face, her 36-inch bobs and huge breasts, as well as a 21-inch water snake waist that contrasts with her breasts, are enough for reporters to ignore whether she is famous.

This is an era when plastic surgery has not yet become a trend, and most of the stars are all-natural. Where has anyone ever seen such a horrible measurement on 36/21/35? (Ye Zimei's huge breasts are certified, and later she also insured her breasts, and if it is a fake breast, the insurance company will not accept it.) )

Why did Pan Yingzi bring Zhou Xingchi and an unknown boba to the banquet instead of Zhou Xingchi and his partner Mao Xianyun?

Professional habits make reporters instantly have infinite associations, but more reporters ask directly: "Manager Pan, what is the name of this beautiful girl next to you?" ”

Pan Yingzi responded generously to reporters' questions. Because Jiahe held a celebration banquet to steal the limelight of DreamWorks, Pan Yingzi's task this time was to take the opportunity to promote the company's new films and newcomers, she took Ye Zimei's hand and said: "This is our Oriental Entertainment Company's newcomer Ye Zimei, she is the heroine of Mr. Kang's next movie." ”

"The heroine of Mr. Kang's new film?!"

There was an uproar and surprise at the gate of Fu Lin Men Restaurant. Then all the cameras were aimed at Ye Zimei, and she pressed the shutter and kept shooting.

Ye Zimei's results in the training class are not very good, and she has run a few tricks so far. was inexplicably notified to be the heroine of Kang Jianfei's new film, and this time she was brought by Pan Yingzi to participate in the celebration banquet, and she felt like she was in a dream. At this time, he faced the reporter with a stiff smile like a puppet, and he couldn't even say half a word.

The reporters originally wanted to interview Ye Zimei. But seeing that she was completely stupid. I had to turn around and ask Pan Yingzi: "May I ask Miss Pan, is it convenient to reveal the name of Mr. Kang's new film?" Who is the male lead in the new film? ”

"I won't talk about the title for the time being, but the actor is the one next to me." Pan Yingzi smiled and pulled Zhou Xingchi to the front.

"Hello journalists, I'm Ah Xing!" Zhou Xingchi was much more generous than Ye Zimei, waving to the reporters very freely.

Pan Yingzi didn't wait for the reporters to ask again, and said, "Okay." Today we are here for a banquet, and we will talk about the new film later. ”

After the three of them successfully got rid of the reporter, Ye Zimei was still in a trance, and when she went upstairs, she stepped on the empty foot directly. Stood there grinning in pain.

Pan Yingzi reproached: "Why are you so careless? Beware of hurting his foot, Mr. Kang temporarily changed the actor. ”

Ye Zimei was frightened when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Manager Pan, I didn't have anything to do, so I just took a break." ”

Pan Yingzi admonished: "In the future, let go in public, didn't the training class teach you how to deal with reporters?" ”

Ye Zimei couldn't help lowering her head and replied in a low voice: "I was too nervous to see so many shots just now, I can't remember anything." ”

Zhou Xingchi helped to play the round and said: "It's okay, I won't be nervous after a few more experiences, and I used to be the host." ”

Pan Yingzi didn't say anything more, and took the two to the main hall of the celebration banquet. As soon as she appeared, many small company owners and directors immediately came over to get close, and she was more popular than Hong Jinbao and others.

Pan Yingzi dealt with these people, but her eyes looked at Kang Jianfei's side. Although she didn't mind that Kang Jianfei had other women, at this time, seeing Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia standing intimately together, Pan Yingzi was still jealous in her heart.

Pan Yingzi is not the only one who is jealous, the five girls in the happy girl group are all eager to show affection to Kang Jianfei at this time.

Fortunately, Guan Zhilin is not here, otherwise this girl will definitely come up to make trouble, and maybe there will be a good show of two daughters fighting for a husband at the celebration banquet. (To be continued......)

PS: Today I was only going to see if there was a suitable house, but in the afternoon I came across a second-hand house that Lao Wang was very satisfied with. The house was so sought-after that the owner changed his residence because his daughter went to school, and there were three waves of buyers during the viewing process, all of whom were rejected by the owner because they were loans. Lao Wang was excited for a while, and directly said that he would pay the deposit in cash, and then he was busy until eight o'clock in the evening to sign the contract.

In other words, Lao Wang also has a house, although it is a second-hand house in a third-tier city......
