    The first day of release was Call Girl 1988. This movie was produced by good friends. It also put a lot of thought into the actors. Zhang Manyu, Feng Baobao, and Wu Jiali, although they are not considered top-tier stars.  , but it can be considered a very famous actor in Hong Kong, and can be said to be a household name. Coupled with a name like call girl, it is easy to remind people of the call girl list compiled by Shaw Brothers. Of course  This is just a gimmick to borrow the title of the film, as the three of them will not show any nudity in the film.

    Unlike Call Girl 1988, a movie that just borrows a name to create an illusion, the movie Virgin Mary produced by Eagle Mountain seems so naked from the name, and the actors  On the list, there are porn stars who have made pornographic movies like Xuan Zhizhi. Without any guessing, you can watch it as a completely pornographic movie. In Hong Kong, pornographic movies like this are not  It is very attractive and has a large number of supporters.

    Among these three movies, the one that has started to gain momentum just after its release is of course the movie Call Girl starring Zhang Manyu. The title of such a movie is very attractive, especially with the list of starring roles.  Many people will be surprised. Could it be that these women actually go into the sea? Many people go to see it with such an idea. Even a simple nudity will surprise them. The box office on the first day  It actually exceeded one million, which definitely made the boss of Eagle Film extremely happy. Such a number is destined to have a very good box office for this movie.  For a small film company like them, if such a small production can reach 5 million, it is profitable. It is obvious that the current situation, this film will definitely exceed this number.

    Among the three movies, he misjudged the situation and chose a movie to be released at a time that should not have been released. It should be "The Virgin Delivered". The box office of this movie on the first day was only 400,000. It is obvious that in the past,  Unless a miracle happens at the box office.  It will definitely not exceed this figure. Two to three million will actually be its final box office figure. Such a schedule is a happy day for the whole family. At this time, such a purely pornographic movie is released, unless it is special  Very attractive, very few men would bring their wives or girlfriends into the theater, of course, except for those who want to add some fun.

    It was only released for seven days.  The movie was canceled and its box office figures stayed at 2.6 million.  Such figures can barely keep the cost of such a low-cost film, but it is impossible to make money.

    That is to say, when this movie was being released, the large film companies that had been waiting for it began to exert their efforts. In such a good period, those small film companies will definitely not let the pie be eaten. The first to take action  It's the Dragon Clan, or it can be said to be Yan Xu.  His part of the Eight Immortals Hotel has already been prepared.

    January 1, 1988, is a brand new day and the beginning of a new year.

    In the Golden Theater of the Dragon Clan, a huge spray-painted picture hangs directly from the top of the theater. Such a picture with a height of more than ten meters can be said to be extremely shocking. The picture is very simple, but it seems to be a  Huang's photo.

    In the photo is a two-story white building.  The entire staircase looked a bit dilapidated, and the doors, windows, and iron were smashed and rusted. A large copper lock tightly locked the door, which was particularly conspicuous and clear in the picture.

    Around that house.  You can vaguely see a lot of weeds, and some rotten tables, chairs and benches piled outside, looking like a garbage dump.  And on the top of the small building, there is a plaque.

    Although the small building is dilapidated, this sign can be said to be brand new, and it even has flashing lights. There are four big characters on it, Eight Immortals Hotel.

    In addition to the four words on the poster, there is also a line of big red fonts that look like dripping blood that is particularly conspicuous. When you come in, you will know what happened here, and below this line of words,  There are also these four words, which are the resounding golden signboard of Yan Xu¡¯s works.

    Apart from that, there is no word left on the poster. If such a huge poster is thrown casually on the street, if no one knows who Yan Xu is, if no one knows about the Eight Immortals Hotel,  Basically no one knows what this is about.

    But now, although it cannot be said that all people in Hong Kong know such a name, at least most people know it. Seventy percent of the people know the name of the genius director Yan Xu, and 50% of the people know Yan Xu.  This movie once earned hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in box office in the United States. It was the pride of Hong Kong people at that time, and at least a quarter of Hong Kong people had watched Yan Xu's film.?Some people have watched the movie Searching for the Devil more than once.

    The name Eight Immortals Hotel was a topic discussed on the streets of Hong Kong a year ago. Although a year has passed, the attention of Hong Kong people is constantly changing, and only a few people still remember it.  This name, however, has appeared again in major newspapers recently, and has also become a discussion topic among Hong Kong citizens.

    This started from a piece of news in the Oriental Daily News. It was just a simple comment, that is, in the renovation of the wooden shed area in Macau, the Eight Immortals Hotel where Mie Men'an once happened will be demolished. What is the whole case like? What are the details?  What happened, and whether Huang Zhiheng was the murderer of the family murder case. There are so many doubts, and what the truth is will be completely eliminated with the demolition of this place.

    After such a news, many tabloids began to dig into the entire case again, and all kinds of speculations emerged again. Some newspapers even exaggeratedly stated that during the demolition process of the wooden shed area, in the yard,  Many bones were found inside. Of course, these news are just to attract attention, but they rush to report everything and dare to write about anything. That is to say, those various speculations have made such an event that has gradually become quiet become more popular again.  It seems that in the chats and discussions between neighbors, as in the chats over morning and afternoon tea, it seems that gossip is out of date without saying something about this matter.

    It was at this time that Oriental Daily once again described the whole story of the Eight Immortals Hotel massacre case in a very impressive manner, including all kinds of doubts, as well as Huang Zhiheng's suicide note when he committed suicide. When a person is about to die, his words are also good.  , his art has made the whole case even more confusing, everything has become a question mark, and the question mark is getting bigger and bigger, which makes many people have different opinions in this discussion.

    Of course, the emergence of all this is not an accident. This is a publicity strategy for Yan Xu's new film. If it is to directly promote Yan Xu's film, although it can drive some people to watch it in the cinema, it will also make people  Some people were put off because of the subject matter. Now, with such a method, everyone can participate in the discussion, and those tabloids have become the trolls in the hands of Yan Xu. Such discussions have aroused the curiosity of many people.  They were attracted. There were not only white-collar workers and young people from some companies, but also some middle-aged and elderly people, and even many housewives and nurses who were visiting the vegetable market. They were all curious about this and discussed it.

    It was three days before the film was released that Yan Xu's film began to be truly promoted. Within a day, the streets and alleys were covered with posters, and even appeared in some newspapers and magazines.  Exclusive interviews with Yan Xu appeared, and even a short interview with Yan Xu was included in TVB entertainment programs. This was also due to some good karma generated by filming a movie with Zhou Runfa.

    Yan Xu's new film has always been a curiosity of the media. Although they know that Yan Xu is shooting the movie in Macau and who are the main actors in it, they still don't know what the subject matter is and what the content is.  These are kept very secret, just for the sudden explosion. At this time, the media are rushing to report the news of Yan Xu's new film, which is also a kind of promotion and publicity.

    Of course, the content of the exclusive interview is also part of the promotion. Basically, when Yan Xu was preparing for God of Gamblers in Macau, he learned the news that the Eight Immortals Hotel was going to be demolished, so Yan Xu resolutely gave up the position of director of God of Gamblers and focused all his attention.  Invested in this ordinary hotel, if it is demolished, it may be completely buried. He is collecting information everywhere in order to solve the mystery for everyone. What happened in the Eight Immortals Hotel  , so there is the current movie. Of course, this does not represent the truth, but it represents some superficial evidence.

    Of course, such a publicity is not just about interviews in newspapers and magazines, and the surrounding posters. In Oriental Daily, which has the largest circulation, Yan Xu also used the entire page to leave such a sentence,  Come January 1st, you will know what happened at the Eight Immortals Hotel. Below are still the four words "Yan Xu's work". Such a black word on a white background, such a page that stands out among the dense reports, is completely  It is very eye-catching and will make people want to move.

    Such a publicity campaign, although it cost Yan Xu hundreds of thousands of funds, has achieved obvious results. Although the movie has not yet been released, the hugeness can already be seen from the discussions on the streets.
