Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

The double-day box office war between Christmas and New Year's Day officially begins two weeks before Christmas.

Heung Kong Cinema's "Merry Christmas" and Pocheng Cinema's "The Owl and Dumbo" are the protagonists of this double-day box office battle.

What followed them was Pou Seng Cinema's "Happy Three Booms" and Heung Kong Cinema's "Godzilla."

Although "Godzilla" has not been released yet and has only been put up on posters in theaters, the discussion has already far exceeded that of "Merry Christmas" and "The Owl and the Dumbo" which are about to be released.

As for Eric Tsang's "Happy Three Guns", no one even mentioned it, as if this drama didn't exist at all.

However, the popularity of "Godzilla" is still high, and the movie will be released in two weeks.

So now more and more people go to the theater to watch "Merry Christmas" and "The Owl and Dumbo".

One is a comedy and the other is an action comedy, and the leading actors in both films have done what they are best at.

If divided according to fame, Sammo Hung's fame and appeal are obviously higher than that of Mai Jia.

However, this time, in addition to Mai Jia, Leslie Cheung also plays one of the roles in "Merry Christmas", which somewhat helps Mai Jia push back the balance a little bit.

Lin Daoqiu was fine that day, so he took Zhong Chuhong and two of them to a theater to watch the play "Merry Christmas".

After simply disguising themselves and making sure that others could not recognize themselves, the two of them entered the theater holding Coke and popcorn.

"Why did you think of taking me out to watch a movie today?"

Zhong Chuhong was a little curious. She didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu thought of taking her out to watch a movie today, and in such a way.

"I have nothing to do and I don't know what to do at home, so I took you out for a walk and helped Director Mai cheer for you. What do you think of my reason?"

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he handed the Coke in his hand to Zhong Chuhong.

When Zhong Chuhong heard this, she felt that there was nothing wrong with what Lin Daoqiu said, but she happened to have no scenes to shoot today, so she had very little time and didn't know what to do.

If Lin Daoqiu didn't take her out, I'm afraid Zhong Chuhong would choose to stay at home, reading books or watching TV, just to pass the time.

"Actually, sometimes you should go out for shopping, shopping, or get a beauty treatment. It's not good to stay at home all the time."

Completely opposite to Guan Zhilin, Zhong Chuhong actually doesn't like to go out very much, and prefers to stay at home.

Lin Daoqiu didn't want her life to be too boring. After all, he couldn't always be by her side, so he hoped Zhong Chuhong could go out and walk around more.

"You mean to let me learn from your sister Guan, right?"

Zhong Chuhong suddenly turned the topic to Rosamund Kwan.

There are some things that everyone knows very well. Even if Lin Daoqiu tries to hide it, Zhong Chuhong can't pretend that he doesn't know anything.

"That's not what I meant. Don't think about it that way."

Lin Daoqiu had only good intentions, but unexpectedly it seemed to have the opposite effect, and he inexplicably turned the topic to Guan Zhilin.

"Thank you very much for Mr. Lin's suggestion, but I have a weak temper. I usually like to stay at home and don't like to go shopping."

In fact, what Lin Daoqiu didn't know was that the reason why Zhong Chuhong said this was entirely because of the previous drama "The Mute Girl A Fang".

Lin Daoqiu wrote a script for Rosamund Kwan and personally coordinated the filming of the TV series.

It is definitely impossible to say that Zhong Chuhong has no ideas in her heart, but she did not express her dissatisfaction directly.

As soon as the name Guan Zhilin was mentioned, Zhong Chuhong's mood suddenly became not very good.

Although she didn't say anything, Lin Daoqiu felt that Zhong Chuhong seemed to be unhappy.

If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have mentioned anything about shopping, but now it's better. When she thinks of Guan Zhilin in this way, she doesn't know how to explain it.

At this moment, the lights in the theater slowly dimmed and "Merry Christmas" officially began to show.

Zhong Chuhong was not interested in arguing with Lin Daoqiu, so she turned her attention to the big screen.

Lin Daoqiu actually watched this play in his previous life, but he could no longer remember the plot.

As the plot unfolded, Lin Daoqiu's memory of the play slowly began to recover.

Compared with "The Best of Us", "Merry Christmas" is definitely not a big production, and the protagonist of this drama, Mai Jia, takes the leading role alone this time, which can be considered a very risky move.

If Leslie Cheung hadn't participated, the stardom of this drama would definitely be far inferior to that of "The Owl and Dumbo" by Pou Seng Cinema.

In addition to Mai Jia and Leslie Cheung, another character that the audience is most looking forward to is Xiao Feng, played by the Hong Kong singing queen Xu Xiaofeng.

Prior to this, Xu Xiaofeng had only been the heroine in the movie "Tianlong Hotel" shot in 1967. After that, she may have felt that she had no interest in filming, so she focused on singing.

In the 1970s, she made guest appearances in three movies, but never acted in a serious role.

I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Mai Jia poured into Xu Xiaofeng, and actually made her nod and agree to participate in the drama "Merry Christmas".

It is precisely because of this that many viewers who bought tickets to attend the show are actually fans of Tsui Siu Feng. They all want to see what it feels like for Xu Siu Feng, who usually sings so well, to act in a movie.

"If I had known that Sister Xiaofeng was going to act, I would have signed up for a guest role."

Zhong Chuhong likes Xu Xiaofeng's songs very much and can be said to be her fan.

I didn't expect that Xu Xiaofeng would cross over to act in a movie this time. If I had known that she would have made a cameo role and acted together with Xu Xiaofeng, how great would it have been.

"Actually, you don't need to be too disappointed. If the box office of "Merry Christmas" is good, Mai Jia will definitely look for Xu Xiaofeng to film other movies."

If he remembers correctly, Lin Daoqiu remembers that Xu Xiaofeng will act in a movie, but Lin Daoqiu no longer knows the name of the movie. He only remembers that it seems to be a movie about stealing money, and it should be with Xinyi City.

cooperate.

"Are you lying to me? Do you really think Sister Xiaofeng is so easy to hire? I still can't figure out why Sister Xiaofeng agreed to star in this movie."

Zhong Chuhong turned to look at Lin Daoqiu. It could be seen from her eyes that Zhong Chuhong obviously did not believe Lin Daoqiu's guess.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know how to explain it to Zhong Chuhong. He couldn't say that as long as he offered enough sincerity, Xu Xiaofeng would naturally not refuse. There were not many people in the world who had a grudge against money.
