"Once Upon a Time" was released in Hong Kong very well because of the huge number of movie fans, especially young people, who prefer Xu Ke's version of "Once Upon a Time" which is handsome, well-produced, and action-packed. Not only that, but also Many people in the industry also praised this film. ()
Hu Jinshuan, a master of martial arts films, publicly praised Xu Ke in newspapers, and also praised Xu Ke as a master-level director. The film "Once Upon a Time" has reached this level both in terms of action and quality. It is the pinnacle of Hong Kong martial arts films, and I am full of praise for Li Lianjie's version of Huang Feihong. I think it has brought everyone a subversion not only in terms of image, but also in terms of ideology.
At the same time, Hong Kong movie fans who love martial arts films are unanimously optimistic about this film, so "Once Upon a Time" was screened at DreamWorks Cinemas, and it was a hit. The box office in the first week reached 10,000 yuan. Especially on weekends, the box office has increased significantly. The movie "Once Upon a Time" has created a kung fu craze in Hong Kong. But not all fans like this film. There are also many Huang Feihong fans who are very disgusted, and they also pointed out Xu Ke's failure. This film is not a real Huang Feihong at all. There are many fictional characters fabricated in the film.
"Aunt Thirteen, this beautiful woman does not exist in real life, but Tsui Hark fabricated such a character, obviously just to add some emotional drama to the film. This is very disrespectful of the facts.
After talking about disrespecting the facts, more opinions immediately came in. Some people even yelled at Xu Ke for his random filming, because Huang Feihong is a martial arts master and his status among the Chinese is very high. Anyone who knows him knows that he My best kung fu is Hong Fist, I can defeat the world with one hand. However, in Xu Ke's film, Huang Feihong's leg skills can be expressed, as well as the "Foshan Shadowless Kick" that needs to be studied. In the end, Xu Ke was criticized by these scholars and experts.
I pity the criticism of these people. But it attracted more people's love. They used this example to refute these experts and scholars and strongly supported Xu Ke. The biggest highlight of this film is the fictional character Shisanwa. That's why he showed the chivalrous and tender Wong Fei Hung, breaking people's impression of Wong Fei Hung. Of course he was referring to Kwan Tak Hing, because among Hong Kong people. They all know that Huang Feihong is Guan Dexing, and some even don't know that Guan Dexing is Huang Feihong.
As for "Foshan Shadowless Kicks", everyone is very optimistic about it, because the new version of "Once Upon a Time" is more than one level better than the old version in terms of fighting scenes, and Li Lianjie is in his prime. The movements are clean and crisp. Movie fans' blood is surging after watching it, and the image is very good, which just fits the image of a hero in everyone's mind, so Li Lianjie is particularly popular among movie fans. Everyone has already replaced the impression of the little monk with the current Huang Feihong.
Mai Chengxiong was sitting in Li's office, watching the spat between the old and new "Once Upon a Time" in the newspaper with a bystander attitude. It can be said that this time it is not so explicit, and the confirmation and wording are very sophisticated. The interest in Mak Sing-hsiung was brought up, and it was a pleasure to watch. Moreover, at this time, the reporters had already forgotten about the screenwriter Mak Sing-hsiung, who was also a man. ()
"In fact, the reason why this action was so successful is all thanks to Director Yuan. Without his participation, the action effect of this film would be much inferior." Li Lianjie spoke frankly in front of Mak Chengxiong, describing Yuan Heping's excellence. .
Li Lianjie has finally completed the filming. When he arrived at the company, he followed Mak Chengxiong and told him about the film. At the same time, he also told Mak Chengxiong many things that happened during the filming. The most strange thing about Mak Chengxiong was the two old men Yuan Heping and Xu Ke. How did friends quarrel.
Li Lianjie first praised Yuan Heping's technical skills, and then said with a smile: "Actually, Director Xu also admires Yuan's director's style very much. However, on the set, the two of them were at odds with each other and both wanted to gain control. So There was a conflict, and in the end they disagreed, and the two of them broke up."
Li Lianjie simply told Mai Chengxiong what happened, which Mai Chengxiong could think of. Although Yuan Heping looks very amiable, he has a stubborn temper. Needless to say, Old Monster Xu, he is the biggest king on the set, and everyone must listen to him. In this way. Sparks are bound to fly between the two people, and they are bound to break up in the end. If there hadn't been Mak Cheng-hsiung's invitation, perhaps they would have reconciled soon. After all, Yuen Woo-Ping was reluctant to part with this film.
Speaking of this film, Yuen Woo-Ping put in a lot of effort, especially when he helped Mak Sung-hsiung complete the design of "Resident Evil". After participating in that filming, the quality of foreign filming has always affected him, so this time he turned to "Resident Evil" "Once Upon a Time" is taken very seriously. You must be willing to show it on the big screen in a unique style. This? Come on. There were also many misunderstandings with Xu Ke. Yuan Heping, who had received international influence, was not optimistic about Xu Ke's opinions, and Yuan Heping's advanced ideas were not easily accepted by Xu Ke. In this way, the contradiction between the two talents continued to deepen.
Li Lianjie among them became a beneficiary at this time. He could hear the different ideas of the two people, and both had merits, so he was able to synthesize the traditions of the two farmers and the ideas of the well talk action, and finally The pattern also got Xu Ke's praise as soon as it came out. They had the same idea, but after going to Li Lianjie to change it, he got better results.
"By the way, Ah Xiong, after working with Director Yuan recently. I also feel that his ideas have changed a lot after going to Hollywood. He has changed very much, and "Once Upon a Time" can produce such a big hit In terms of the scene, he also has a lot of credit. Believe me, he is a very good action director. Li Lianjie did not finish his words at this time, but looked at Mak Chengxiong at this time, because even if he didn't say anything, for this reason Even Mai Chengxiong could understand what he was talking about.
Obviously Li Lianjie likes Yuan Heping's style very much, so he loves talents very much. He hopes that Mak Chengxiong can come forward and invite this excellent martial arts instructor to DreamWorks. This will be a great help to the development of DreamWorks, not to mention DreamWorks. The most popular films shot by DreamWorks are action films. With his addition, DreamWorks will be even more powerful.
Why doesn't Mak Sing-hsiung want to catch up with these two talents? It's just that both of them are old people in the Hong Kong film industry and have great status, so they have never spoken out. After all, this matter is too impatient, maybe it will If you make them feel disgusted, then the gain outweighs the loss. ()
It has to be said that Xu Ke and Yuen Woo-Ping are rare talents in the Hong Kong film industry. Both of them have their own unique ideas and successes in different fields. It is well-known even internationally.
Mai Chengxiong suddenly thought of a good way to win over. At this time, the corner of his mouth curled up and he immediately started to contact Xu Kelai. The success of "Once Upon a Time" made Xu Ke very satisfied, and his face felt like he was bathing in the spring breeze. Soon, he met Mai Chengxiong at the agreed place without waiting to speak. Xu Ke couldn't wait to find the waiter. Get the best stuff here.
Good things are not cheap, as even a three-year-old child knows. Xu Ke ignored Mai Chengxiong's expression and asked Mai Chengxiong with a smile: "You are actually willing to invite me to such a nice place. It seems that you must have something of your own." Purpose, tell me if I can do it. If I can¡¯t do it, I¡¯ll be embarrassed to have a wasted meal.
This guy obviously has no sincerity at all. What is a free meal? This is not obvious. The dishes have been ordered. Now, he only said polite words. Mai Chengxiong's nose was almost crooked with anger. But at this time, Mai Chengxiong suddenly smiled. After all, If he dares to come, he is naturally mentally prepared to be slaughtered.
"By the way, Lao Xu, I heard that there was a big conflict between you and Lao Yuan, so I just asked about it. And I also wanted to hear your evaluation of him." Mai Chengxiong quickly smiled and tried to win over Xu Ke Views.
Xu Ke is very disdainful of Mai Chengxiong's approach. This guy is asking questions knowingly, and he himself has a very high opinion of Yuan Dayan, otherwise he would not ask him to cooperate again and again. After glancing at Mai Chengxiong, he said indifferently: "What else can I say? Of course it is good, otherwise you can cooperate with him so many times?"
Mai Chengxiong hit a big snag, but it didn¡¯t matter because he just wanted to hear a definite answer. He hurriedly added water to Xu Ke and continued: "Ajie, after returning to DreamWorks, he also told me a lot about your shooting. He admired Yuan Heping's guidance very much. He thought he was a rare talent. I I think you think so too, Lao Xu."
Xu Keke and Yuan Heping have been old friends for many years, and the two have collaborated many times. I also know his style very well. This time he did not speak ill of Yuan Heping, and said with a smile: "Big Eyes has made great progress now. Especially after working with you last year, this guy has more ideas. There are a lot of clever ideas on the set, I think he is I learned a lot in Hollywood. I really envy him." Xu Ke showed an appreciative smile without any concealment.
Nowadays, many people envy Yuen Woo-Ping's luck, because many people in Hong Kong hope to work in Hollywood, but they don't have this opportunity at all. Yuen Woo-Ping actually went to Hollywood to film one after another with the help of Mak Cheng-hsiung. And the reviews for the film were very good. In this way, his influence will naturally increase a lot. The action directors in Hollywood are not very professional, that's right. At that time, the skills of Hong Kong instructors were seen, and they were also appreciated by foreign countries. This is not an honor that everyone can get.
??Mai Chengxiong nodded and said: "Ah. So that's it. That's good. I thought you were still angry, but it seems like this. Yuan Heping has a high reputation in the hearts of all of us, and I feel more confident. Got it
Xu Ke didn¡¯t know what kind of medicine Mai Chengxiong was selling in his gourd, so he looked at Mai Chengxiong with confusion.
After Mai Chengxiong ate. He also smiled and said to Xu Ke: "Okay, I won't be too close now. It's like this. You and Yuan Heping have been good friends for many years. I have something to ask you for help and I didn't know you would do it." Wouldn¡¯t agree.¡±
Xu Ke¡¯s chin tilted up to signal Mai Chengxiong to continue speaking, and he also felt fuzzy in his heart. It was as if he had fallen into Mak Cheng-hsiung's trap. It seems that Mai Chengxiong¡¯s rice is not so delicious.
"Haha, in fact, I personally value the talents of the two evil spirits more. So I want to attract him to You. You also know that our dream is to recruit Sun Xie's nephew who is very lacking in talents. I am just afraid that he will not give up. In this case, when the two of them meet It¡¯s embarrassing, so I just want you to be a peacemaker in the middle, what do you think?¡±
After listening to what Mai Chengxiong said, Xu Ke's intestines were filled with regret this time. What a shame for you, Mai Chengxiong. It turns out that you were just trying to show off in front of me, and you thought you had defeated him these few times, so Xu Ke himself became negligent, and unexpectedly fell into Mai Chengxiong's trap.
Mai Chengxiong¡¯s move was very cruel, and he quietly launched a plan that killed two birds with one stone. Moreover, Xu Ke was also involved. Although he was talking to Xu Ke about wooing Yuan Heping, this was when Xu Ke was secretly building a plank road in Chencang. When Xu Ke said these words to Yuan Heping. Yuan Heping naturally asked about Xu Ke's attitude. Xu Ke is now a famous producer and also cooperates with DreamWorks. To win over him, he must consider himself. Mai Chengxiong's words forced Xu Ke to Come to the corner
Xu Ke looked at Mai Chengxiong¡¯s proud smile. I really wanted to go up and slap him hard, but we are all civilized people, so naturally we can't do such a rude thing. But I was still angry. this. At that time, I simply pretended to be stupid and said: "Oh. So this is what happened. It's easy to handle. But this big eye is still helping you shoot and is not in Hong Kong. When he comes back, I will go to him." Then tell him this idea, it¡¯s that simple, but I¡¯m really sorry that it cost you so much, Ah Xiong. This meal is really good, as expected of Mai Chengxiong. It¡¯s a generous gesture. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave. ¡±
Mai Chengxiong looked very relaxed, but he was also sweating at this time. What is Xu Ke's nickname? That was Old Monster Xu, who had a weird temper. He couldn't be evaluated by ordinary people. He was really afraid of this. Xu Ke suddenly gave him another explanation. In case the two people suddenly had a showdown, this was what Mai Chengxiong didn't want to see. Unexpectedly, this guy actually pretended to be stupid. Mai Chengxiong didn't believe that he didn't have any ideas.
Xu Ke walked out quickly, and Mai Chengxiong smiled at him. Since he had no objection, it meant that he was not disgusted with DreamWorks. It was just that he had just left Xinyi City, and he might still have feelings for other companies. There is still a bit of resistance, so Mai Chengxiong doesn't force it. He still understands that things will come naturally.
Because there has been some progress on the issue of Hong Kong's return. Therefore, the mainland's view of Hong Kong has also changed a lot, and it is not as hostile as before. Therefore, Hong Kong movies also have the opportunity to enter the mainland, but they are not aboveboard. Moreover, it is a Cantonese film, so the scope is very narrow. It is only popular in a small area in Guangdong. People there are also the first to come into contact with Hong Kong films. The mainland is naturally very aware of this, but it has not stopped it and turned a blind eye. Turning a blind eye allows some people to get away with it.
The film "Once Upon a Time" has also had a great impact on the mainland, especially the fierce and magnificent fighting scenes, which surprised some people and exclaimed that Hong Kong's movies have reached the peak. Therefore, "Once Upon a Time in Foshan" has also spread in the mainland. Kailai, especially places like Buddha, they are all proud of Huang Feihong.
DreamWorks is a trendsetter in Hong Kong. Almost every one of their excellent films can bring a sensation to the society, and then imitation and popularity spread. Not only in the film industry, there will be a series of trend-chasing films. , it will also have a great impact on the lives of movie fans. Hong Kong people who have watched this movie have unknowingly acquired the image of a hero, and this image of Huang Feihong is younger and closer to them, especially the black humor in the film. It is even more memorable for everyone. From time to time in life, they will say a few classic lines from the movie.
Xu Ke found Mak Cheng-hsiung again, of course not for what he said before. After all, Yuan Heping is still filming intensively in India and has not returned to Hong Kong yet. Of course he couldn't see him, but he had other ideas when he found Mai Chengxiong this time.
After "Once Upon a Time" was screened in Hong Kong for half a month, the box office has already exceeded the same level.?'s other videos. It became after removing the New Year film. It has the highest box office, and the box office is already close to Debao's New Year's film "Eight Happiness". It is only a matter of time before it surpasses it. Then there is New Arts City's "The Best Partner: Save the Chapo", which ranks third in the box office list over the years. If this film can surpass this box office, Li Lianjie will become another Hong Kong box office superstar.
Xu Ke didn¡¯t find Mak Cheng-hsiung because of the box office issue. When he came here, he looked more like a rogue. He didn't regard Mak Cheng-hsiung as an outsider at all. He stretched out his hand and said to Mak Cheng-hsiung: "By the way, Ah Hsiung, now that this film has been a big hit in Hong Kong, shouldn't you also consider the next script? I'm taking a break. It¡¯s almost done. I think it¡¯s time to see the next script, so I¡¯m going to take a look this time. Do you have any other good ideas?¡±
Xu Ke didn¡¯t regard himself as an outsider. He drank Mai Chengxiong¡¯s expensive tea, and then reminded Mai Chengxiong, sitting aside and preparing to listen to Mai Chengxiong¡¯s next idea.
