The next day, "Mr. Zombie" was released in Golden Harvest Cinema.

Each theater line has several theaters with luxurious facilities and more seats as "leading theaters". The Royal Capital Theater in North Point is one of Jiahe's leading theaters and has witnessed the glory of Bruce Lee to Cheng Long.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, a group of main creatives came to the Imperial Theater.

The movie had already started, and they quietly took their seats on the second floor. There were not many viewers on the second floor, but the first floor was relatively full. The attendance rate was good or bad. After all, this movie only had one big name, Xu Guanying, and it was also titled "Zombie".

People subconsciously think it's scary.

Lin Zhengying was extremely nervous and highly concentrated. He looked at the screen for a while and then at the audience. He wanted to look at everyone's expressions carefully in order to know the other person's true feelings. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything in the dark.

Qian Xiaohao is equally nervous. He is a young actor in Shaw Brothers. He has been practicing the Kungfu of the Great Sage Splitting the Coat Gate since he was a child, and he also won a bronze medal in the ring competition. "Mr. Zombie" is the first movie with a large investment that he has participated in.

.

And his younger brother Qian Jiale also made his debut as a martial artist in "Plan A".

In short, everyone is watching this film with unknown future with their own thoughts.

Needless to say, the historical status of "Mr. Zombie" started the boom of Hong Kong's fantasy kung fu movies and formed a zombie craze, which even spread to Taiwan and Japan. From 1986 to 1991, there were more than 100 zombie movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but not a single one.

Can surpass.

His influence lasted for decades, until the Internet era, when Uncle Jiu became a well-known NPC in Zhutian Novice Village.

This version of "Mr. Zombie" basically follows the content of the original version, with only two changes in the characters. The Ghost Bride was originally played by Wang Xiaofeng, and now it is changed to Xia Wenxi; Ren Tingting was originally played by Li Saifeng, and now she is Li Lizhen.

The biggest difference is the director. The original version was by Liu Guanwei, a photographer from the Hong Family Class. He made this film by chance, and it took decades to make the film.

The current director is Yu Rentai, whose masterpieces include "The White-Haired Witch", "The Haunted Bride", "Freddy vs. Jason", etc. "The White-Haired Witch" is played by Leslie Cheung and Brigitte Lin, creating a weird and monstrous atmosphere.

Very good.

He brought this expertise to Mr. Zombie, which is even better than the original.

"Ahhhh, so scary!"

"This ghost bride is beautiful, evil, and a little pitiful!"

"Hahahaha, Qiu Shengwen is so stupid!"

"Uncle Nine!"

The audience's reaction gave them great comfort. From time to time, cheerful laughter and fearful screams came from the first floor, accompanying the rhythm of the film. This feeling is great, like every beat of the music.

At this point, it shows that the movie really arouses the audience's emotions and makes everyone immersed in it.

In fact, the story is not complicated. The key lies in various details, such as ink lines, glutinous rice, Gang steps, drawing symbols... and the innovative setting that zombies cannot smell the breath of strangers. As long as you close your breath, zombies will not be able to find you.

All this makes "Mr. Zombie" establish itself.

Finally, Uncle Jiu led a group of people to kill the zombie BOSS, and the film ended.

"Whoosh!"

Warm applause erupted in the Royal Capital Theater, and the applause erupted again in an instant, because a group of leading actors came on stage - since the leftists pioneered this propaganda routine, everyone has been imitating it.

The scene was naturally very lively, not to mention the interactions. After staying for a short 20 minutes, a group of people hurried to the next restaurant.

Xu Guanying gave up, and the others were smiling and excited, knowing that this time they were safe!

…………

"A very novel film that cleverly combines some content from Maoshan Taoist priests and folklore, and turns the hideous and terrifying ghosts in people's imagination into a comedy, making the whole work smart and interesting."

"In the past, there were "Ghost Fighter", "Qi Men Dun Jia" and "The Scary Man", and now there is "Mr. Zombie". It seems that the Hong Kong film industry will have another genre film."

"Lin Zhengying has worked hard for many years and finally has a masterpiece!"

"The settings of each character are very distinct and memorable. Uncle Nine and the two trouble-making apprentices can be called the standard template for commercial genre films."

"Legendary Pictures has not failed in any of its three films and has become a new force that cannot be underestimated!"

"The screenwriters of "Qi Men Dun Jia", "Scary" and "Mr. Zombie" are all Dongfang Ren. This great screenwriter seems to be obsessed with this."

"Mr. Chen, the leftist, is right when he says that Hong Kong does not value scripts. If Hollywood knew that the screenwriter who won the Oscar for Best Screenplay could not sell for HK$150,000 in Hong Kong, we would laugh to death."

On the first day, the box office was mediocre.

However, thanks to word-of-mouth and media praise, the box office of "Mr. Zombie" has been rising steadily. As of one week, it has reached a frightening more than 8 million! With the current market inertia, more than 8 million in the first week means that it will eventually be able to

There are about 20 million.

Jiahe's previous estimate was at most 5-6 million.

Eyeballs dropped in shock, even the creators themselves were stunned, and then they were ecstatic.

Such an achievement made it worthwhile for Zou Wenhuai to come out again, book a luxury hotel, and personally entertain a group of people. During the dinner, there was fresh seafood, cups and cups, and chatting and laughing with the big bosses.

Li Lizhen, Qian Xiaohao and others seemed to be blooming. This was their dream star life. Li Lizhen was so proud, especially since "Xin Zha Junior Sister" might not be as good as her at the box office, she felt even more overwhelmed.

"Mr. Zhuang, congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Zou Wenhuai took a glass of wine and walked up to Zhuang Cheng. The two touched each other. Zou Wenhuai sighed: "It's really a world of young people nowadays. I founded Jiahe when I was 43 years old. I am not yet 60 years old now. I suddenly feel old."

I really didn’t expect Mr. Zombie to be so popular, and we can’t keep up with the tastes of a new generation of viewers.”

"No, no, we were just lucky."

"If you have strength, you have strength. How can it be a fluke? You and Zhengying signed five film contracts in one go. What are your plans next?"

"Everyone likes it, so naturally I will continue to make zombie movies. I can't do without the help of the Hong family, and I will bother you by borrowing Jiahe's theater chain."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

This is what Zou Wenhuai asked about. He was immediately relieved when he heard that Zhuang Cheng continued to film and also continued to work on Jiahe Cinema.

And Zhuang Cheng added: "Mr. Zou, I can't control other people's zombie movies, but the agreement I signed with Lin Zhengying stipulates that he will not make other zombie movies until he completes the contract. I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry about this. Everyone must be trustworthy when doing things. Jiahe is still a bit thin-faced." Zou Wenhuai said.

If there is no agreement, Lin Zhengying will definitely be dragged around to film, and he will even encounter a Hong Kong-style tradition: being filmed at gunpoint by the gang!

What Zou Wenhuai meant was that if someone caused trouble, Jiahe would intervene to mediate. Zhuang Cheng thanked him, but he didn't believe it in his heart. Neither Zou Wenhuai nor He Guanchang were kind people.

Maybe Jiahe himself wants to drag Lin Zhengying into filming!

The agreement is nothing. Hong Kong movies have a strong gang atmosphere, and they are very concerned about political affairs. They rarely go to court.

…

After eating, some people dispersed first.

Zhuang Cheng was invited to a nightclub again, where he fully experienced the decadent capitalist life before returning home the next day.

As soon as he got home, the phone rang. It was Feng Bingzhong from Princess Jin.

As usual, congratulations were given, and then the conversation changed: "A Cheng, we have always cooperated happily, why did we go to Jiahe to show it this time? If there is anything that brothers have not done, just tell me."

"I'm serious, I invited people from the Hong family class to act, so I can only put the film in Jiahe."

"Oh, that's it! I wonder if there's time for us to meet and talk?"
Chapter completed!
