Dreams of the Fragrant River

In this year's summer season, Shaw Brothers, which has decided to stop production, returned to the light and returned to the light. A small-budget film received a box office of 7.2 million, which can be regarded as saving Shaw Brothers for several consecutive months. [;Starting]

However, the success of one or two plays cannot restore Shao Yifu's determination to suspend production of Shaw Brothers, especially this play was filmed by Zhang Jianting and Chen You.

On the contrary, Zhang Jianting and Chen You's reputation rose again, and the films of various small companies flew like snowflakes.

And a week before the release, Princess Jin also launched Chen Xunqi's.

After Chen Xunqi left DreamWorks, he set up his own film company with the help of Lei Juekun. In the past two years, many of the films he made have sold well, and none of them have lost money. His works have already entered the golden schedule of the golden princess.

However, this time Chen Xunqi finally missed, and with (Jiahe) interception, the attendance rate dropped drastically.

When Kang Jianfei was finally forced to quit the film, Shi Tian directed and starred and Xu Guanjie starred.

This is also a turning point in Chen Xunqi's directorial career. From the beginning, although his future films can also be ranked in the summer and Christmas seasons of the Golden Princess, they will no longer be able to squeeze into the top 20 at the box office. And Chen Xunqi also had a first-class director since then, and gradually began to become a second-tier director, until later Lei Juekun refused to invest in him to make movies.

Different from its poor box office, Art City received rave reviews as soon as it was released, and the box office went up like a rocket.

In late July, the Hong Kong film market was completely dominated by the world. Jiahe couldn't resist at all, but they had to hold on, because Zou Wenhuai wanted to wait until the right time to release it again, otherwise the three smash movies would collide and everyone would be smashed.

...

Queen's Road, Central.

In a short section of the street, there are several big theaters, belonging to the Golden Princess, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and Oriental Cinema.

The theaters of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers are deserted. In stark contrast to this, there is a long line of ticket purchases outside the theaters of the Golden Princess and the Oriental Cinema.

Xu Guanjie's reputation in Hong Kong at this time is no worse than Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia. With the signs of Xu Guanjie and Shi Tian, ​​it is enough for the audience to pay a steady stream of money to enter the theater.

It is worth mentioning that the female protagonists in the original film are Zheng Wenya and Jenny. Since Zheng Wenya is an artist of Oriental Entertainment Company at this time, Xinyicheng specially invited Hu Huizhong from Taiwan to be the heroine. And with the success of the box office, Hu Huizhong also made up his mind to develop in Hong Kong, and rarely returned to Taipei to film.

The sky gradually darkened. A young couple made an appointment to go to a restaurant for dinner.

The couple are white-collar workers in an office building near Central. The man's name is Lin Zhiming. Doing administrative work in a company, the woman's name is Meng Chunjiao, who is currently a sales accountant.

Young white-collar workers like Lin Zhiming and Meng Chunjiao, although their salaries are not very high. But a high quality of life is still to be pursued - even if you can't afford a house in ten years.

After the candlelight dinner, Lin Zhiming and Meng Chunjiao held hands again and ran to Lan Kwai Fong for petty bourgeoisie.

Compared with the chaotic nightclubs in Lan Kwai Fong in later generations, Lan Kwai Fong has only emerged for a year or two at this time. It is a serious and elegant bar, and the drinkers are young people with petty bourgeoisie feelings.

After a few drinks while pretending, the young couple walked hand-in-hand down Queen's Road, ready to go home after watching a movie.

Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have the fewest people in the theaters, so you can buy tickets to watch movies without queuing. But not in their scope of choice.

"Look, there seem to be fewer people lining up over there." said Lin Zhiming in a suit.

Meng Chunjiao, who was slightly drunk, immediately retorted: "The more people there are, the better the movie is, I want to watch it!"

"Xu Guanjie's film is very good, plus Shi Tian, ​​it's absolutely funny." Lin Zhiming tried to persuade his girlfriend.

"No. People have to watch!" Meng Chunjiao began to act like a spoiled child.

Lin Zhiming lost his temper in an instant, and honestly joined the ticket-buying team. The film directed by Kang Jianfei is still guaranteed, and it is not a loss to queue up more.

Half an hour later, the ticket maker said to Lin Zhiming with a blank face: "The tickets for the nine o'clock session are gone, and there are still tickets for the ten-thirty session."

Lin Zhiming was sweating madly, how late would it be after watching it at half past ten? If I had known, I would have bought movie tickets before going to Lan Kwai Fong.

Turning his head to look at his girlfriend who was holding milk tea a few steps away, Lin Zhiming nodded helplessly and said, "Let's have two, I don't want to sit too far ahead."

"There are not many tickets left. The last seat is also in the third row. Do you want it?"

Lin Zhiming, who had bought two tickets, was depressed, and went to the mall with his girlfriend for nearly two hours before walking into the theater.

Ten minutes later, the depression in Lin Zhiming's heart disappeared completely, replaced by a laugh, and his girlfriend laughed directly on top of him.

On the big screen, Huang Shrimp and Zhou Xingchi debunked each other's identities as liars, and the two had a serious conversation.

Yellow Shrimp: Who are you?

Stephen Chow: The rivers and lakes are sinister, I will never leave my name.

Yellow Shrimp: If you don't want to leave your name, you have to leave your head.

Zhou Xingchi: I've been lonely all my life, and the only person who lives with me is this head. I'm afraid it won't be so easy if you want this head.

Yellow Shrimp: You forced me to take action. I will dye this sea red with your blood.

Zhou Xingchi: I have been wandering in my life, like a lonely boat in the ocean, I have long put my life and death aside.

Yellow Shrimp: Well, since that's the case, you can teach me the Taijiquan that I can attack and kill people without being invisible.

Zhou Xingchi: I was about to ask for advice.

In the ancient dragon-style dialogue, the two circled around each other, and suddenly they shouted in unison and jumped towards each other at the same time, and it was a tragic fight.

Just when the audience thought the two of them would fight, Zhou Xingchi and Huang Shrimp suddenly played in slow motion, gently pushing each other's arms as if they were *, and chatting while pushing and pushing, dissipating the tension just now. .

"puff……"

Lin Zhiming burst out laughing when he saw this scene. Until finally Dasha caught his own younger brother Kuangbian, he was already laughing with his girlfriend in his arms until his cheeks were sore, and tears of laughter were pouring out of the corners of his eyes.

After watching a movie, even on the street, Lin Zhiming can still hear various discussions about it, and from time to time there are people who learn Zhou Xingchi's funny lines.

"Ah Xing is so funny. She fell down the stairs and brushed her teeth while rolling down the stairs. Giggle..." Meng Chunjiao seemed to remember the funny scene in the movie and couldn't help laughing again on the street. stand up.

Lin Zhiming said: "I think the funniest thing is that Zhou Xingchi and Mao Shunyun pretended to be plumbers to steal things. Ah Xing laughed at me when he pinched Mao Shunyun."

Meng Chunjiao smiled and said, "Yeah, Mao Mao is too cola, I liked watching it before hosting."

The two of you talked about this sentence by sentence, and then walked out of the theater more than 30 meters away, and met a colleague from the company head-on.

"A Fang, do you want to watch a movie too?"

"Yeah, I just finished watching it for my girlfriend."

"Does it look good?"

"It's not bad, it's funny, didn't you see it?"

"I see it."

"How is it? Director Kang Jianfei's film should be good, right?"

"It's more than good. I laughed so hard I almost couldn't breathe."

"Really so pretty?"

"Anyway, I laughed from the beginning to the end, and I couldn't stop at all. It's definitely your loss if you don't watch it."

"Then I'll check it out another day."

"..."

Such conversations began to take place in various places in Hong Kong, and the audience who watched it all recommended these two films to their relatives and friends.

Time will soon enter August, the ten-day release has already won 16.29 million box office, and the box office released one day later has also successfully exceeded 13 million.

The two films are chasing after each other, forming a crushing situation for other films released in the same period. As for the Hollywood musicals introduced by the Anle Cinema, there are even more miserable audiences.

It is one of the rare masterpieces of Xinyicheng, which mixes family affection, love and funny. With Xu Guanjie's box office appeal, it is only reasonable to get a high box office~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But with the release time With the increase, the box office has finally pulled away.

Two weeks after its release, the box office has soared to 22 million, compared with just 17 million.

It's not that nonsensical comedy performances have never appeared before, but the previous nonsensical performances were immature, and Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical acting skills were slowly formed during filming.

It's the kind of crazy and neurotic performance that suddenly set off a trend this summer, allowing people to laugh and vent unbridled, and its influence is far higher than that released in the same period.

An article in the film review section wrote: "The biggest highlight of this year's summer season is that the nonsensical limelight in director Kang Jianfei's new film tends to mature, bringing the audience a novel viewing experience. Watching this kind of film does not require a brain, just need Just bring Hong Kong dollars and a mouth, and then you can forget all your worries and laugh out loud without any scruples..."

At this time, the strong period that Jiahe thought was over, and finally released the three brothers Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biao co-produced.
