During this period, many people were like Zhao Chao, unable to put down a TV set. They would never even let go of an advertisement.

The wife on the side gave her a few more rolls of her eyes. She didn’t say much. She was used to her man’s temper. Just watch it for a while! Five minutes! Ten minutes at most!

Humph! If you still don’t recognize me later, you won’t be able to climb into my bed for a month! Humph!

Just then, a new commercial appeared on TV.

Amidst the cheerful music, the family sat together and enjoyed hot pot lively. From time to time, they picked up a beer and raised a glass to drink.

"...Everything in China is celebrating! Yequan Beer celebrates the Year of the Rooster! Happy family! Good luck!..."

After being reminded like this, my daughter-in-law finally thought about it: "Xiao Zhao, the Spring Festival is almost here, and I really should prepare some more New Year's goods at home. How about this Yequan beer? Do you want to buy a box?"

"I've never heard of it. The people drinking outside are all Jingcheng and Shuanghesheng." Zhao Chao replied casually. He was still thinking about the advertisement just now. It looked very festive, and the photo was really good. The picture quality was even better than

Some TV series are better than others.

"Never heard of it?" My daughter-in-law asked curiously, "It should be a famous brand advertising on TV, right?"

"Maybe it's a new Sino-foreign joint venture. Anyway, it definitely doesn't exist in the time-honored brands. I'll go out and take a look in a few days and buy a few bottles to try."

When this commercial ended, a new commercial came on.

This new advertisement is even more lively, using a large crane to shoot down, with various colorful lions dancing in the square...

Then there was a close-up shot. A colorful lion performed a lion dance. After the lion's head was removed, a heroic young man's face was revealed. At the same time, a subtitle was printed - the champion of the 1992 Hong Kong Lion Dance Competition...

Immediately afterwards, another colorful lion performed a walking performance. After taking off the lion's head, another smiling face appeared - a descendant of Feihemen, who has been the top three in the lion dance competition for three consecutive years...

A strong-spirited white-haired old man - the head coach of the Hong Kong Lion Dance Club, who was once the Hong Kong Lion King in the 1970s...

A lively and lovely boy who once won the championship of the youth group of the competition...

…

The last colorful lion showed off well. After taking off the lion's head, Liu Dehua's handsome face was revealed. The other lion kings also surrounded Hua Zai like stars holding the moon.

Sweating profusely, these people raised their bottles of water and took a sip, with happy expressions on their faces. At the same time, they raised their bottles of water and said, "The Lion King wishes you a happy spring! All the best! Clear springs in the wild mountains!"

Due to the rush of time, Li Yuan didn't have time to go outside to advertise, so today's advertisements were full-length feature films, and the one for "The Lion King Celebrates Spring" was even more than a minute long.

However, both Zhao Chao and his wife thought it sounded very good, and they didn't feel as bored as watching other advertisements at all.

"Xiao Zhao, is this a Hong Kong star?"

"Yes! Liu Dehua." As a TV show lover who is not picky about food, Zhao Chao still knows a lot of things.

"What is that wild mountain clear spring? Liquor?" At this time, there is no concept of bottled water in China. Even large barrels of canned water have not been launched yet. So ordinary people have no idea what this is?

"Hmm... maybe!" Zhao Chao was not sure, "Lion dancers are very skilled, but they like to drink liquor?"

"Then what is the relationship between this wild mountain spring and the wild spring beer in front?"

"Listening to the name, I thought it might have something to do with it!"

"..."

The reason why I later chose the brand "Yequan Beer" instead of continuing to use the "Yeshan Qingquan" brand was that on the one hand, it was necessary to create independent brands; on the other hand, it was necessary to create associations between the two brands.

Linked together, one order is needed to facilitate joint promotion in the future.

Therefore, Zhao Chao and his wife were not wrong.

At this moment, the show officially started.

A female host sat in front of the studio and spoke eloquently: "Dear audience friends, just as the Spring Festival is approaching, our Yequan Cinema is showing a Hong Kong film today - "A Better Tomorrow"...

"

"This film was directed by the famous Hong Kong director John Woo and starred by the famous actors Ti Lung, Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung. After it was released in 1986, it broke the historical record of the Hong Kong box office and won the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Wanwan Golden Horse Awards:

A series of awards including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, etc. have caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and have received great response and praise overseas..."

To be honest, according to a certain Yuan brother's understanding, there is no need for this hosting content at all, just show the video.

But in the early 1990s, mainland TV stations were like this. They seemed uncomfortable not hosting. Especially the hosting style was the same, and the words they spoke were in the style of "Xinwen Lianbo". The host seemed to be abstinent, which seemed special.

Old fashioned.

But Zhao Chao and his wife have long been accustomed to this routine. They listen to it with gusto. So awesome? Damn it! Or is it a Hong Kong movie?

As a result, even my wife became interested: "Xiao Zhao, is this a Hong Kong martial arts movie like "Shaolin Temple"?"

""Shaolin Temple" was co-produced with us in the Mainland. This film is the original version from Hong Kong, and it must be even more powerful!" Obviously, people who are not picky about food still have blind spots in knowledge. Due to the lack of information, Chao Chao has not heard of "A Better Tomorrow"

The name of this film.

"Then let me watch you for a while longer. Humph." Seeing Zhao Chao becoming extremely excited, my wife squinted her eyes. I will let you go for half an hour. I will take a quick glance with you at most...

As mentioned before, the king of entertainment venues in the mainland at this time was the video hall.

But who among the good kids would go to a video hall? In addition, the cost of video halls is very expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to spend a few dollars. Therefore, the entire society knows almost nothing about overseas movies and TV dramas, but is particularly eager to go there.

learn.

The first thing domestic audiences watched were movies from brotherly countries. At that time, there was a saying - North Korean movies make people cry, laugh and cry, Vietnamese movies cannons, Romanian movies hug, Albanian movies... it's inexplicable. (laughing and crying)

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! To be honest, the quality is really not as high as that of domestic movies. In other words, under a special background, domestic audiences have no new movies to watch, so they can only watch these with their noses pinched.

However, after the reform and opening up, some overseas translated films came in one after another, which often caused huge sensations. For example, the Indian film "Wanderer", the script film "The Hunt", "Witness" and so on.

But to be honest, even these overseas dubbed films that have caused a stir are not considered first-tier blockbusters in developed countries in Europe and the United States at all.

In fact, whether it is Hollywood or Hong Kong, they are all crying and wanting to enter the Chinese mainland market, but a distribution system of selling copies blocks everything.

The sales volume is as high as 500 copies, which is more than 5 million yuan! Of which 4 million yuan also needs to be paid to the printing factory for copy production?

In the end, the people in China really wanted to watch overseas translated films, but they couldn't see them at all.

Of course, here, Zhao Chao and his wife artificially elevated "A Better Tomorrow" because it is a very pure Hong Kong film with no mainland elements.

Although "Shaolin Temple" is a co-production, it is an extremely rare movie!

It can be said that as long as the "History of World Cinema" is compiled, "Shaolin Temple" will definitely be on the list. And it is also one of the top films. The series of records created by this film can be said to be a miracle!

It’s unprecedented, and perhaps it will be unprecedented!

But I never expected that a Hong Kong movie would be shown today? Is this a Spring Festival welfare gift from Beijing and Taiwan?

The video finally starts...

The first paragraph shocked Zhao Chao and his wife.

Brother Ma's arrogance in lighting cigarettes with counterfeit US dollars made them high-spirited, but they were betrayed in the end...

For Zhao Chao and his wife, this simply opened the door to a new world. They were astonished for a moment - is there such a movie in the world?

"Xiao Zhao, the Hong Kong actor just now is Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Bund", right?"

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble! Keep watching!"

"The look of death! Hum hum!"

"..."

…

At the same time, in another room in the capital, Lu Feng and a group of his friends were also crowded in front of a TV...

Unlike Zhao Chao, who is not picky about food, Lu Feng and his classmates made a special trip from school to watch the movie "A Better Tomorrow."

Lu Feng is a sophomore at Nortel. As a college student majoring in screenwriting, Lu Feng must have heard about some overseas business cards. Although he and most of his classmates have never seen it, they at least know about "A Better Tomorrow"

This is a masterpiece of Hong Kong films.

There's nothing we can do about it. The film appreciation classes in school only watch old-fashioned art films. There are no such recent blockbuster commercial films from overseas.

There is no guarantee in the video hall, it depends on luck. If the owner of the video hall does not have a pirated video tape of "A Better Tomorrow", how can you watch it? Besides, this is a pirated video tape, and you can't put up posters on the street.

You don’t know either. The only possibility is to meet him by chance.

However, just a few days ago, Lu Feng was surprised to read in a newspaper that Beijing and Taiwan were broadcasting "A Better Tomorrow" late on Monday night? He couldn't believe his eyes - "A Better Tomorrow"

, is that the Hong Kong movie "A Better Tomorrow" that I know?

Currently, in major cities in the Mainland, there is only one newspaper with the highest sales volume - "Weekly TV Newspaper"!

It may not matter to someone like Zhao Chao who is not picky about food. He wants to see the snowflakes falling anyway. But there are still many ordinary people who choose programs through the "Weekly TV Newspaper".

Therefore, after seeing "A Better Tomorrow", Lu Feng and a group of classmates made a decision.

Fortunately, Lu Feng is a native of the capital. He planned to escape home with his classmates and make sure to enjoy this popular Hong Kong movie. Unexpectedly, most of the classmates came and packed his home?

However, after watching the beginning, Lu Feng has discovered that almost all his friends are dumbfounded - is this the true level of overseas films and Hong Kong films? If this is the case, then how can mainland China catch up?

When the TV came on, Brother Ma was lame and collecting tips for cleaning other people's cars. He looked like a hero at the end of his life. Many female classmates were already red-eyed...

When Ti Lung finally decided to take revenge, he made the phone call: "Gao Yingpei, I'm back!"

It caused another burst of laughter...

Gao Yingpei is the name of the villain in "A Better Tomorrow". But there is also an old cross talk artist in the Mainland named Gao Yingpei, and the two of them coincidentally had the same name.

In the last journey of revenge, Brother Ma rushed all the way with two guns...
