From the perspective of film genre, spy war films do not belong to a type of genre film, but a branch under police and gangster films. Looking at a book? ???· １?ＫＡＮＳＨＵ·ＣＯＭ

As far as China is concerned, whether it is the mainland or Taiwan, spy war films have appeared very early and have strong political implications, and the propaganda role is far greater than their storytelling.

As for Hong Kong, spy war films are a scarce genre. Hong Kong audiences are very familiar with undercover police films, but they don't know anything about spy war films, so "The Wind" is definitely a very novel thing.

Take Zhou Jiaming as an example, after watching "The Wind", he only had an unclear feeling, shocked by the cruelty and excitement of spy warfare. In particular, the heroine relied on being a female celebrity, embroidering encrypted Morse code with needle and thread, and finally successfully passed the message on.

This Nima is so awesome!

The hidden sword light and sword shadow and step-by-step killing machine are far more tense than the hot gunfights and fierce fights, giving Zhou Jiaming an unprecedented movie-watching experience.

As for the patriotic feelings inside, to be honest, Zhou Jiaming really didn't feel anything. Although his grandparents had come to Hong Kong from the mainland, and his parents spoke a few words of Chinese, Zhou Jiaming himself had no special feelings for China.

For Zhou Jiaming, "The Wind" is a very good high-IQ spy war drama, which is very cool to watch, but that's all. If I had to add some more feelings, it would be that both heroines are beautiful.

Chow Ka-ming's movie-watching experience represents the views of most young Hong Kong audiences.

More than 10 years ago, when Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen violently beat up Japanese devils on TV, the Hong Kong audience in front of the TV applauded loudly, and this situation is gone forever. The new generation, born and raised in Hong Kong, is even more emotionally inclined to the UK. Want to read a book ??· １ＫＡＮＳＨＵ·ＣＯＭ

This kind of change can be seen from the film and television works, in the previous movies of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the Japanese people in them were all big villains. In Li Lianjie's "Jingwu Heroes" two years ago, the Japanese people in it are both good and bad, and the feelings of family and country are no longer a selling point, but can only be reduced to the background of the story.

On the contrary, in Taiwan, this "The Wind" may be more marketable, although Li Mouren has been greening Taiwan Island now.

Oriental Film and Television Distribution Company is actively operating, and "The Wind" should land in Taiwan this summer. The "old ghosts" and "old guns" in this film do not emphasize which force are spies, you can see them as the underground party of the Central G, or you can think of them as the military commanders of the Kuomintang Party.

Even if it is placed in Taiwan, "The Wind" can also be a "patriotic film".

……

Although Hong Kong audiences regard "The Wind" as a special police film, this novel genre still ignites the public's enthusiasm for watching the movie. Especially those older audiences over 40 years old, the feelings of family and country in their hearts have not been extinguished, and they especially respect and love "The Wind". (Hong Kong's population in 1950 was just over 2 million, of whom less than half spoke Cantonese.) Now there are more than 6 million people, many of whom are from the mainland. ）

After a month of screening, the Hong Kong box office of "The Wind" approached the 30 million mark, which shocked countless colleagues in the film industry.

In comparison, Zhou Xingchi was much more depressed.

He had previously built his own film studio, under the name of Oriental DreamWorks, and last year upgraded the studio to Playmate Films. The movie "Journey to the West" invested more than 60 million, of which DreamWorks only invested 35 million, and the remaining 25 million was Zhou Xingchi's own money.

In the case of the sluggish environment of Hong Kong films, everyone does not dare to pay for the film, and Zhou Xingchi's move shows that he still has a lot of revenge.

At the beginning, "Journey to the West" was only going to be filmed. But patting and patting, the plot has broken away from Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi's estimates, and can only be released in two.

The first "Moonlight Treasure Box" had a good momentum at the beginning, with a box office of more than 5 million in two days, and the audience came to the name of Zhou Xingchi. But it didn't work soon, and the attendance rate fell wildly, and the box office in the port was only 25 million when the painting was settled. Now the screening of the second "The Great Sage's Marriage" ("Cinderella") has ended, and the box office of 20 million makes Zhou Xingchi want to cry without tears.

The total box office is only 45 million, and if you go to the theater and the theater chain to share and then deduct taxes, the producer can get 20 million at most, which is only one-third of the cost.

Zhou Xingchi's Caixing Film Company will lose at least 15 million this time. It depends on how much you can get back at the overseas box office, the Oriental Film and Television Distribution Company is eating well, and the overseas box office will still give some shares. is not as scoundrel as Golden Harvest, and often embezzles overseas box office, resulting in the producer having to choose to sell out the copyright instead of sharing.

After the release of the two "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingchi locked himself in the house for two weeks, and even his girlfriend Mo Wenwei was gone. The main plot of this movie was written by Liu Zhenwei, but many details belong to Zhou Xingchi's design, and now the movie is hitting the streets, hitting Zhou Xingchi's self-confidence directly.

After being depressed for half a month, Zhou Xingchi finally adjusted his mentality, drove a sports car, and came to a nearby Chinese restaurant.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you want to eat?" The waiter was already immune to Zhou Xingchi because he often came here to eat.

Zhou Xingchi said: "A fried rice." ”

"Okay, please wait."

Ten minutes later, instead of the waiter, a white-hatted chef came. The chef put the fried rice on the table and said, "Your rice is here." ”

Zhou Xingchi looked up and saw that it was an old acquaintance, and said with a smile: "It's you again, what about the waiter?" ”

The cook replied, "It seems to have gone to the thatched house, and no one answered my shouting in the back kitchen for a long time." ”

Zhou Xingchi said: "I'm strange, the fried rice you make is so delicious, how can you work in this kind of mid-range restaurant?" ”

The chef sighed: "I used to be the chef of FLM, and the gambling king Ho Hongsen knows that he eats my special fried rice for 5,000 yuan at a time." Later, I quit my job and opened my own store, and I could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, and the business became bigger and bigger, and I also opened three branches. ”

"So powerful?" Zhou Xingchi was surprised.

The chef smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that my friend calculated that there was a batch of low-priced beef and asked me if I wanted it." I was also greedy at the time, so I said yes. ”

"And then?" Zhou Xingchi said curiously.

The chef sighed, "And then it was pitted, it was a smuggled problem beef." Not only was I fined a large sum of money, but I was also ordered to close the business for rectification, and by the time I reopened, the bad news had already spread, and the diners in the neighborhood were reluctant to eat in my restaurant. The tens of millions of net worth I have accumulated over more than ten years have all been wiped out in just three months. ”

"Then you're worse than me." Zhou Xingchi said with emotion, he found that his frustration seemed nothing compared to this chef.

The two quickly chatted, talking about the chef's experience back then, and Zhou Xingchi felt that this kind of story was very dramatic, and maybe it could be made into a movie.

The chef's name is Dai Long, who is the fried king in "God of Food" who didn't use overnight rice to make fried rice, but was given a zero score by Zhou Xingchi.
