Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

After everyone entered the venue and took their seats, "Five Lucky Stars" was officially released.

What appeared at the beginning of the movie was Sammo Hung’s face full of joy.

He wears a black night suit, which makes the audience immediately realize that this guy is a thief.

After observing the surrounding situation, Sammo Hung chose one of the villas.

With his agility, he climbed over the wall of the villa and slipped in in just a few moves.

But before he could even rummage through the boxes, he was startled by the unexpected scene of celebrating the birthday of his male host.

Just when everyone thought that Sammo Hung would finally escape smoothly by relying on the steel rope, they didn't expect that he would slip directly into the police car.

Then there are the other three lucky stars, who appear one after another with their own stories.

Especially when Sam Kin-hsun, who speaks Teochew Cantonese, came on stage to give a speech about his mistake, the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"The curly character is well cast."

In addition to ordinary audiences, many filmmakers also came to support the show.

This includes Tsui Hark and Lin Fan, the screenwriter of "Butterfly".

At this time, Tsui Hark was filming "The Lover of the Golden Sword" on Jiashi, and Wu Siyuan took a fancy to him. He felt that he had great potential, so he funded Tsui Hark to film a movie.

After finally getting an opportunity, Tsui Hark plans to show everything he has learned in this movie.

The "Butterfly" he is planning to shoot is adapted from "The Vampire Moth" in Gu Long's "Six Frightening Stories".

It's a pity that the current Tsui Hark is not the one who will be called Old Monster Xu in later generations.

At this time, he still didn't understand what kind of movies the audience liked.

The movies he makes now are the movies he likes, which are still far from real commercial movies.

And Lin Daoqiu's "Five Lucky Stars" is a purely commercial film, a very pure comedy movie.

At least in Tsui Hark's view, the commercial value of this film is considered perfect, but unfortunately it has no artistic quality, which is completely contrary to the film he pursues.

But unlike Tsui Hark, Wang Jing, who was sitting on the other side, was quite happy to watch.

The artistic value of movies is not worth mentioning in Wang Jing's eyes. For him, making money by making movies is the only way to go.

Chu Yuan told Wang Jing when he entered the industry that he could do anything in making a movie, but there was only one thing he couldn't do, and that was that it had to be a hit.

Last year, Wang Jing participated in the screenwriting of two dramas, but unfortunately neither of them was a hit.

In order to find out what kind of movies the audience likes to watch, Wang Jing specially bought a ticket to learn about it today.

He wanted to take a look at what kind of movie "The Five Lucky Stars" was, which was likely to be a hit.

I have to say that compared to Tsui Hark's criticism, Wong Jing laughed from beginning to end when watching it, because this drama was to his liking.

But no one would invest in him for such a big production, and it would be impossible for him to even afford it for Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao.

Wang Jing felt that if he were to film this movie, most of the people would disappear.

Don't even think about Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao. As for the huge group of dragon and tiger martial arts masters, he would not be willing to use them even if he could afford them.

Shaking his head, Wang Jing felt more helpless the more he thought about it, after all, such a lineup from beginning to end was not something that ordinary people could afford.

In other words, Lin Daoqiu is willing to spend money to make movies like this. If it were him, he could make four or five movies with the money.

In addition to being funny, Lin Daoqiu also arranged a big scene.

For example, Jackie Chan started chasing a thief in the park. When he got behind him, he thought the car was too slow and passed right through a large truck that was still moving.

Seeing this, almost everyone at the scene took a breath of cold air.

This is no joke, if you make a slight mistake, you will be run over by a big truck.

In order to film this scene well, Lin Daoqiu found Chen Yiyan and Ke Shouliang and asked them to be responsible for choreographing the scene.

In addition to Jackie Chan's thrilling scene, there were also a series of collisions involving more than a dozen cars.

Lin Daoqiu's request is very simple, that is, when shooting, it must be very realistic.

Although most of the cars are actually scrap metal, with their engines, stereos, etc. completely removed, there are still a few cars that are genuine.

You must know that Lin Daoqiu burned as much as 200,000 yuan for this scene alone.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu was quite satisfied with the final result. After all, it was made with real money.

This is just a small scene. If Chen Yiyan and the others can't handle it well, then they will definitely have no part in "Mission Impossible".

Finally, the movie reaches the warehouse showdown at the end, which is also one of the biggest selling points of the drama "The Five Lucky Stars".

The three brothers Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao went into battle together and fought with more than a dozen respectable martial artists.

For ordinary movies, it would be good to have a few familiar martial arts masters, but Lin Daoqiu immediately attracted almost everyone from the Hong family who could be named.

Moreover, he was still not satisfied even though this was the case. He even sent people to the Clear Water Bay studio of Shaw Brothers to find Dewey and others for help.

After a wonderful fight, the movie finally ends with a happy ending, with the bad guys brought to justice and the good guys rewarded.

After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Lin Daoqiu doesn't want to cause trouble for everyone at this time.

Moreover, it has been written on the promotions and movie posters that they will celebrate the New Year happily.

When the movie ended, the audience's warm applause already indicated that this drama will definitely have a good result.

Early the next morning, when Lin Daoqiu was still wandering in his sleep, the disturbing phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, who's there?"

When Lin Daoqiu answered the phone, he made no secret of his impatience.

He doesn't like to be disturbed when sleeping, because if he doesn't get a good rest, he will have no energy throughout the day.

"Brother Qiu, great news, the box office of "Five Lucky Stars" on the first day has exceeded 1.5 million..."

On the other end of the phone, listening to Zheng Danrui's voice, it was clear that he was very excited now.

This is the first movie to be released at Golden Harvest Cinema, and it's no wonder that a movie that grossed over 1.5 million at the box office on the first day was so excited.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't have much reaction to the news. He just said yes, then hung up the phone and went back to bed.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't react at all, it didn't mean that others would ignore the matter.

It's a pity that the box office came out too late, otherwise the entertainment sections of major newspapers would have reported it with front-page headlines.

You know, this is a movie that broke the box office record of Jiahe Cinema.

Even Sammo Hung couldn't help showing a shocked expression when he heard about the box office while having morning tea.

"Mr. Lin's actions are indeed extraordinary."

Zhong Fa was a staunch supporter of Lin Daoqiu. After he finished speaking, the people next to him nodded in agreement.

If there were still people in the Hong family class who doubted Lin Daoqiu's ability before, no one has such an idea now.
