In this era, Hong Kong audiences generally have low cultural literacy and little education. Their appreciation of movies is similar to readers in another time and space who only like Internet short articles. They only pursue one word when watching movies, and that is - cool!

It just so happens that Bruce Lee's movie is so enjoyable both in terms of storyline and martial arts scenes!

Coupled with the adulation and criticism from the surrounding entertainment media, they are even more curious. Especially during the premiere, a ticket was 30 yuan, but now it is only 10 yuan per ticket for all Hong Kong screenings, and the Shaw Brothers blockbuster "Ma Wing Jung"

Keep up!

Invisibly, people feel that they have taken advantage of it! Others spent 30 yuan to watch a premiere, but I only had to wait three days and spent 20 yuan less to watch one. What a bargain!

If you don't take advantage, you are a grandson!

This is also the philistine side of Hong Kong citizens in this era!

As a result, when "Tangshan Brother" was fully released, the 18 cinemas in the Kowloon Cinemas chain, the 13 cinemas in the Lai Cinemas chain, and the seven cinemas in the Golden Harvest Cinemas chain were full, and the other five cinemas were fully booked.

The attendance rate is over 90%!

Kowloon Cinemas and Lai's Cinemas are partners of New Arts City, directly Golden Harvest Cinemas - Shi Zhijian said, even if they don't want to show it, it won't work!

Such a grand occasion is in sharp contrast to the highest attendance rate of 70% on the first day of the release of Shaw Brothers' "Ma Wing Ching"!

At the same time, the reputation of the two dramas has also begun to become polarized!

Before "Tangshan Brother" was released, there were rainbow farts everywhere praising "Ma Yongzhen", saying how exciting the drama was and how fierce the fights were, especially how powerful Ma Yongzhen played by Chen Guangtai was. At the end, his intestines came out and he fought with the enemy. It was simply

Makes your blood boil!

But when "Tangshan Brother" is released, I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I am afraid of comparing goods!

Compared with Bruce Lee's cool Jeet Kune Do, Chen Guangtai's traditional hard bridge is a bit novel! In addition, Bruce Lee's blood-heated scream during the fight made the audience fascinated.

Ru Zui, I feel that this is the real skill!

In addition, in terms of script, "Ma Wing Ching" is an old story that has been changed without changing the medicine. Hong Kong people can tell a little bit of it, especially those who like to listen to storytelling, and they know this story very well! In addition, this is

The drama ended tragically with the death of Ma Yongzhen, which left more viewers distraught!

In contrast, the story of "Tangshan Brother" is original, and the story first suppresses and then develops. In the end, Bruce Lee fights a big wave of SS, and he directly lifts it up and throws it, it is so exciting!

According to the words of the audience who watched this drama, "Bruce Lee is simply Li Yuanba in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"! Not only is he great in kung fu, but he is also extremely powerful!"

No comparison, no harm!

Those viewers who watched "Tangshan Brother" immediately became New Art City's trolls, saying how good this drama shot by New Art City was and that it was worth watching once, twice, or even three times.

On the other hand, Shaw Brothers' "Ma Yongzhen" was still very popular before the release of New Art City Movies. After all, it is a major Shaw Brothers production. Shaw Brothers also spent a lot of money to promote this drama.

But when the new film from New Art City was released, the audience felt that although the film was exciting, it was too frustrating. In addition, the story was not fresh enough, and Chen Guangtai's acting was not exciting enough, so they almost immediately watched the film.

I went to the theater opposite to watch "Tangshan Brother"!

The trolls hired by Shaw Brothers worked hard to write reviews and praise for "Ma Yongzhen" in newspapers. They couldn't bear the fact that the audience had long legs, so they voted with their legs, so that the audience continued to leave, and "Ma Yongzhen" was ruined.

The box office is getting worse day by day, from 14,000 a day at the beginning to 3,000 at the end! The attendance rate has reached an astonishing 20 to 30%!

The journalists hired by Shaw Brothers were not calm anymore. They felt that they were very ashamed. They took money but did not help Shaw Brothers turn around. As cultural people, they were very shameless, so they secretly sneaked into the theater of "Tangshan Brother" and wanted to watch it.

Let’s see how this drama goes.

Finally, when they walked out of the theater, they couldn't help but wipe their mouths and said: "It smells so good!"

…

The popularity of Bruce Lee's "Brother in Tang Shirt" shocked the entire Hong Kong film industry!

The movie "Last Life" exceeded HK$3.5 million within three weeks of its release, making Golden Harvest proud and triumphant over Shaw Brothers.

In this life, the box office in three weeks directly exceeded 4.5 million! It was a million more than the previous life!

The total population of Hong Kong is only about 4 million. A movie ticket costs 10 yuan, but the box office of this movie is as high as 4.5 million. What does this mean?

Such abnormal results immediately shocked other filmmakers who received the news.

"Three to four and a half million?" The boss of Golden Harvest Film Company, Liu Jianxiong, burned a part of the cigar in his hand and still didn't know it.

Zou Wenhuai looked haggard, smoking a cigarette vigorously, putting one hand in his hair and scratching vigorously.

They felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts in response to Xinyi City's huge box office performance.

Jingle bell bell!

The phone rings.

The two of them were startled, you looked at me, I looked at you.

Finally, Zou Wenhuai picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm Zou Wenhuai, who are you?"

Someone said something on the other side of the phone.

Zou Wenhuai's expression became very strange.

"Wen Huai, are we looking for you?"

"It's...Shi Zhijian!"

"What did he want from you?" Zou Wenhuai sat up from his chair, looking nervous.

"He said there will be a meeting on the Kowloon Peninsula at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Having a meeting? He thinks he's just a sideshow? Calling us around?" Liu Jianxiong was furious.

Zou Wenhuai read the news in the newspaper that the box office of "Tangshan Brother" reached 4.5 million in three weeks, and sighed: "Do we still have a choice now?"

Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Shao Daheng has been very irritable these days. He has always had a good temper. He not only likes to curse people, but also likes to throw tea cups!

At this moment, the tea cup on his desk is the third one that has been replaced.

"Are you sure that all the audiences in our theater have gone to watch "Tangshan Brother"?"

"How do you draw traffic? You know what I say, either draw the audience to the cinema, or you will resign voluntarily!"

"You don't have to pay for promotions? Send balloons? Only children like these things, why don't you give them away!"

Shao Daheng cursed and drove some of his men away, then sat down on the chair angrily and loosened his tie with his hands.

Fang Yihua saw the gray-headed and scolded people outside, smiled apologetically at them, and then knocked on the door with ginseng tea.

"Come in!"

Fang Yihua pushed the door open and saw Shao Daheng holding a newspaper and looking at it angrily.

"Drink tea to relieve your anger!"

Shao Daheng didn't even raise his head, "What's the news? Those guys didn't dare to sue me personally and asked you to make the fire extinguisher?"

Fang Yihua smiled and put down the ginseng tea, "You also know that you have a bad temper and can easily scare people, so calm down!"

Gu Min

"I thought about it too, but - hey!" Shao Daheng sighed, "Okay, okay! I promise you! Even if something terrible happens, I will endure it!"

"Then let me tell you, the box office of the New Art City movie has been released today——"

"How much?" Shao Daheng thinks that the box office in Hong Kong today is at most 100,000. After all, it has been in theaters for three weeks, so any popular movie should go down.

"Because of the audience's return and the extra show, the box office today is 500,000!"

"What?" Shao Daheng was shocked and suspected that he heard wrongly.

In this era, if the box office can exceed one million or two million, it is already great! If it exceeds three million, it is the best! But now, if the previous four and a half million are added, wouldn't "Tangshan Brother" directly exceed five million?

!

Shao Daheng stood up suddenly, his head was dizzy, and he reached out to hold the table.

"Uncle Six, what's wrong with you?" Fang Yihua stepped forward to help.

Shao Daheng tried to stand firm and asked Fang Yihua: "Is everything you said true?"

Fang Yihua nodded.

Shao Daheng felt dizzy again and felt the world spinning. He said after a long time: "Where did this evildoer Shi Zhijian come from? I, I, I will punch his lungs out!"

Fang Yihua was originally worried about Shao Daheng's health, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Shao Daheng was slightly angry.

"I laugh that you haven't cursed like this for a long time!" Fang Yihua said, "In my impression, you have always been calm and calm in situations."

Shao Daheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, sat down on the chair again, waved his hands and said: "No! I'm old!"

"How come you are old? In my eyes, you will always be so young." Fang Yihua said softly, handing over the ginseng tea.

Shao Daheng was a little moved when he heard this. He took the ginseng tea in his hand and felt the temperature of the tea cup: "You are the only one who can comfort me at this time."

"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."

"Hey!" Shao Daheng put the tea cup on the table, "I can just say this once. The problem is that I have lost to the boy named Shi many times! No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't handle it! Besides, I make movies.

After all these years, it’s still hard to understand why those audiences rush in like crazy to watch it once, twice, or even three or four times? Don’t they all think the ticket price is expensive and it’s such a waste? If I hadn’t stayed in Nanyang,

I must suspect that the boy surnamed Shi has condescended to those people!"
