Text Chapter 141 People who don¡¯t know whether to live or die

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Every time a movie hits the box office, there is more or less a box office vacuum.  Especially after a current movie becomes a hit and turns into a money-drawing machine to attract money, this box office vacuum will become more obvious.

    Movie theaters generally use this period as a break from screenings and will not show any new films.  Of course, there are also many people who are not afraid of death. At best, they are confident and high-spirited, and at worst, they are blindly confident and seeking death. Movies will be released during this period.

    For example, Phantom International¡¯s ¡°Eight Star Announcement¡±.  After the hits of "Half a Category" and "Fist of Fury", "Eight Star Announcement" confidently followed up and set a box office miracle.  Because Wang Bi and Phantom International have succeeded, it can be said that Wang Bi is confident and high-spirited.

    Another example is "The Evil Guest" directed by Zhang Che.  He also confidently proposed to Shao Yifu that "Evil Guest" would be released immediately after "Eight Star Announcement" was released.

    Of course, even if you have a movie, you can release it if you want. After all, it costs money to release it in theaters.

    Shaw Brothers Studios, Clear Water Bay.

    Zhang Che was sitting in Shao Yifu's office with a sharp tongue, recommending "Evil Guest" to Shao Yifu with spittle.

    "Uncle Six, you know that my directorial skills are absolutely superb. And this "Evil Guest" is definitely my favorite work. Not to mention that we went to Japan to shoot the location, not to mention that I am in it.  The wonderful performances of Di Long and Jiang Dawei, two of my disciples, and my careful attention this time, I believe that once the movie is released, it will definitely set off a movie-watching craze that will exceed that of "The Good News"! "

    Zhang Che¡¯s directorial skills are indeed good and he can be called a film master.  The classic martial arts movies he directed, such as "The One-Armed Sword", "Thirteen Taibo", "Revenge", etc., can all be said to be instant classics.  Zhang Che has many classics, but he has more normal and bad films.  This "Evil Guest" falls into this category.

    Although I don¡¯t know how much the total box office of "The Evil Guest" was in the previous life, it did not enter the top ten in the 1972 annual box office rankings, which means that it has not exceeded the 10th place of HK$1.2 million.

    This is a movie destined to hit the streets.

    Shao Yifu has been making and operating movies for decades.  He has long developed a pair of piercing eyes.  What kind of movie will be a hit, and what kind of movie will hit the streets after it's released, he can guess exactly what kind of movie it is after watching it.

    So no matter how Zhang Che moved his lips and tongue, Shao Yifu was not moved by Zhang Che's words. He had his own set of judgment standards.  As long as he has not seen the real situation of this movie, he will not make an easy decision.

    Shao Yifu gently knocked the ash from his cigar in the ashtray, frowned and said, "Yi Yang, you also know my rules. If nothing else is said, let's watch the movie first!"

    This sentence was like a thousand pounds of weight blocking Zhang Che's mouthpiece, making it impossible for Zhang Che to say the words he had prepared.  He was so suppressed that his face turned red, and he could only say: "Okay, okay, okay! Uncle Six, I have brought the film over and put it in the screening room next door."

    Zhang Che is very familiar with this habit of Shao Yifu.  He had already prepared for Shao Yifu to watch the movie "The Bad Guest".  The words mentioned above are just to increase the weight of "Evil Guest" in Shao Yifu's heart.

    There was silence in the dark screening room, only the dialogue and dubbing of the movie sounded.  As the movie started to show, Shao Yifu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

    "The Bad Guest" is Zhang Che's sequel after the success of "Boxing".

    There is nothing new in the movie.  The plot is very cliche.  Moreover, the arrangement of some seppuku scenes in the movie has become clich¨¦, and judo and karate have already been widely used in Mandarin martial arts films.  So there is nothing new about the fight.

    "It's just since the release of Li Xiaolong's "Brother Tangshan" and "Fist of Fury" that it has been proven that Zhang Che's martial arts movies have reached the end of the road.  Shao Yifu originally thought that Zhang Che would learn his lesson and make some changes in subsequent movies.  But now it seems

    If you are looking for something special, there are only a lot of Tokyo scenery.  The middle part of the film almost turns into a travel film.  Introducing high-rise buildings, overpasses, movable neon tubes, World Games venues, etc., is like watching a scenic documentary about Tokyo.

    Well, if there is anything surprising.  That was Zhang Che's personal participation.

    Therefore, let alone "Eight Stars", Shao Yifu will be satisfied as long as it can reach the box office of "Tangshan Brother", which is more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

    Shao Yifu looked at Zhang Che sitting aside and said to himself: Is this your classic?  I didn't see anything exciting in the whole movie, except But your performanceThis villain really steals the scene!  Even if you don't direct movies anymore, you won't have to worry about having no future.  You can be an actor!  Specializes in playing this kind of gangster boss!

    The movie has finished playing.

    There was silence in the dark screening room, only the sound of the projector whirring.

    There was a "clang" sound and the crisp sound of a lighter sounded.

    Shao Yifu took out a cigar and lit it in his mouth, puffing away smoke while thinking about countermeasures.

    Zhang Che looked at Shao Yifu intently. Although there was no nervous expression, his eyes were eager.

    "Uncle Six, how did you like watching the movie?"

    How about it?

    "If it were in the past, if Wang Ben was still there, before he rose to prominence, Shao Yifu would have nothing to say about films like Zhang Che's.  However, Wang Ben's two consecutive films not only whetted the appetites of Xiangjiang citizens, but also whetted Shao Yifu's appetites.  Shao Yifu is no longer satisfied with the Hong Kong box office of less than one million per movie.

    Now if Shao Yifu is asked to evaluate this movie, he can only say that it is mediocre and definitely not as good as "The Good News".

    Shao Yifu shook the ashes from his cigarette, his eyes and brows filled with disappointment.  Zhang Che can be said to be one of Shaw Brothers' most powerful directors and represents the highest level of Shaw Brothers.  But even so, he is still not as good as Wang Ben!

    "How is it? Yi Yang, your performance is not bad, very good. If you have the opportunity in the future, you might as well participate in more movie performances. This is also a way out!"

    Although Zhang Che sounded modest, his face was undisguisedly proud.

    "Uncle Six is ??so impressed! My main job is to be a director, and my performance is just a guest appearance. Uncle Six, do you think this movie can be released tomorrow?"

    Shao Yifu squinted his eyes and thought, his slightly opened eyes filled with light.  Ordinarily, if a film like this is placed in such a box office vacuum period, it will definitely rush to death.  If we put it in the past.  Shao Yifu would not screen it.  But this time Shao Yifu made the opposite decision.

    "Yi Yang, "Eight Star Announcement" has been offline today. This movie will be released accordingly!"

    Since this period of time, Zhang Che can be said to be a bit arrogant in Shaw Brothers. In addition to being respectful to Shao Yifu, he doesn't look down on other people, including Fang Yihua.  Last time, he said that he would increase the budget and reshoot the scenes of "The Evil Guest". There was no other way, so Shao Yifu agreed.  But now it seems really

    It seems it¡¯s time for Zhang Che to wake up!

    "Yi Yang, I just want to see how this movie does at the box office. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

    Shao Yifu said with profound meaning.

    In the confused smoke.  Zhang Che couldn't see clearly the sneer on the corner of Shao Yifu's mouth.

    "Thank you for your trust, Uncle Six! Uncle Six, just watch! Let's see how "Evil Guest" becomes a big hit!"

    Hearing Shao Yifu¡¯s words, Zhang Che suddenly felt a little complacent and thought to himself: How is it?  Uncle Liu agrees with my opinion! Even if you Li Hanxiang returns to Shaw Brothers, I won't be afraid. No matter how awesome you Wang Ben is, it will be useless.  Just wait and see how popular my movie is after it is released!

    In the dim blue smoke, Shao Yifu glanced at Zhang Che with a cold look, saying nothing but sneering in his heart.

    Looking at the ambitious Zhang Che, Shao Yifu couldn't help but think of Wang Ben, who was even more arrogant than Zhang Che.

    After the last banquet.  The relationship between Shao Yifu and Wang Ben is even more complicated.  On the surface, the relationship between the two is still so cordial, and Shaw Brothers and Phantom International are also working together seamlessly, and there is no hint of anything fishy at all.

    But both Shao Yifu and Wang Ben knew that there was an ever-widening gap in the relationship between the two families.  One day the two families will fall out.  Stage a life-and-death fight.  It¡¯s just that no one knows the specific time.

    Shao Yifu squinted his eyes and breathed in the fragrant cigar smoke. The smoke flickered in the swirling smoke, making his skinny crane face look particularly gloomy and eerie.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In order to celebrate the success of Phantom International¡¯s first movie, Wang Ben decided to hold a celebration party.

    The celebration banquet for "Eight Star Announcement" was held at the Peninsula Hotel.  Wang Ben directly booked one of the restaurants.  I plan to hold a buffet-style Western-style banquet.

    A home in a mid-level villa.

    Zhong Zhen is helping Wang Ben adjust his bow tie, carefully smoothing out every wrinkle on the straight dress.  Looking at the handsome Wang Ben, the corners of her mouth and eyebrows were full of tenderness and sweetness.

    Although Wang Ben enjoyed Zhong Zhen's meticulous care.  But his frown showed his unhappiness.

    ?Wang Ben lowered his head, looked at Zhong Zhen unwillingly, and muttered: "Wife, why don't you accompany me to the banquet tonight? Look, I have prepared an evening dress for you!"

    Zhong Zhen rolled her eyes at Wang Bi charmingly, pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose and said disdainfully: "I don't want to attend these banquets! I don't know these people, and I have to put on a smile and pretend to cater to them.  . The most important thing is that I don¡¯t understand these etiquette rules If I don¡¯t do it well, I will embarrass you and I won¡¯t be as comfortable at home as I am at the party!¡±

    Wang Ben held up Zhong Zhen¡¯s delicate dimple, kissed it gently, and then pressed his head against Zhong Zhen¡¯s smooth forehead to coax Zhong Zhen in a low voice.

    "Is there anyone you don't know? I haven't invited many people tonight. They are all employees of the company and a few friends I have worked with. You are the boss's wife, how can you pretend to be ingratiating with others?  ? It¡¯s them who want to flatter you! No! They should be flattering you!¡±

    ¡°As he spoke, Wang Ben patted Zhong Zhen¡¯s beautiful butt with both hands, and then gently kneaded it.

    Zhong Zhen¡¯s pretty face suddenly turned into a cloud of fire, which burned all the way to Zhong Zhen¡¯s delicate jade neck.  Like a little kitten, Zhong Zhen purred and bit Wang Ben's lip, biting it gently and cooing.  "Yours is the one who flatters you!"

    While Wang Ben was playing a war of lips and tongues with Zhong Zhen, he joked in a low voice: "I not only have flattery, but also horses! Hehehe you know this!"

    Hearing Wang Ben¡¯s shameless words, Zhong Zhen seemed to have thought of something.  Her dimples, which were already as red as drunkenness, suddenly turned even crimson, so bright that they seemed to be bleeding.

    "Ouch! It hurts! You little wild cat, why did you bite me?!" Wang Ben covered his lips and kept shouting.

    Zhong Zhen bared her neat white teeth in retaliation and bit Wang Ben's lips hard, leaving a neat row of deep tooth marks on Wang Ben's lips.  Fortunately, Wang Ben had rough skin and thick flesh, otherwise he would have been bitten by Zhong Zhen and bled.

    Zhong Zhen pushed Wang Ben away, put her hands on her hips, glared at Wang Ben with beautiful black and white eyes, and scolded Wang Ben in a cold voice: "You deserve it! Who told you to say such hooligan words! You should leave quickly! Otherwise, I will kill you!"  I¡¯m angry!¡±

    Wang Ben saw that Zhong Zhen was determined not to go.  There was really no other way, so Wang Ben had no choice but to hug Zhong Zhen and whisper many sweet words, making Zhong Zhen smile before leaving.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
