Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

On December 31, 1982, the sequel to "Mr. Zombie" had its premiere at the Dragon Head Theater owned by New Oriental.

Today, as many as thirty companies showed up every day, and many celebrities and directors came to support us.

The first to enter were Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. After experiencing setbacks in Hollywood, they also temporarily gave up the idea of ​​entering Hollywood.

Today they came to support Lin Zhengying, but the appearance of these two brothers still caused quite a shock in the scene.

Although they left Hong Kong for a while and went to Hollywood to film movies, the reputation of these two people in Hong Kong has not weakened much.

"Brother, do you have any preparations for this year?"

"A Biao, I heard that you two went to Hollywood to film a movie before. I wonder how it is going now?"

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao knew before they came that they would definitely be questioned by reporters.

So they were already prepared on the way.

"Today we are here to support Aying. As for our personal problems, we will have the opportunity to chat with you another day."

Sammo Hung didn't want to talk more about his own problems, he wanted to turn the topic to "Mr. Zombie".

However, the reporter was obviously unwilling to let them go like this.

I finally saw Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao here today, so I naturally wanted to find a way to get to the bottom of it.

"Brother Hong, will you two be filming in Hong Kong this year?"

When a reporter asked this question, Sammo Hung thought about it and answered with a smile.

"Of course, Yuan Biao and I will both be in the show this year. Please rest assured. Thank you very much."

As if they didn't want to continue to quarrel with the reporter, the two of them clasped their fists in a gesture and walked into the theater together.

Not long after he walked in, Sammo Hung saw that Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa were already standing inside, waiting for their arrival.

Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa have known about Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao's entry into Hollywood for a long time.

Moreover, they were also very clear about what happened to Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao during this period.

Although everyone wants to be like Bruce Lee back then and make a name for himself internationally.

But to this day, there is no Kung Fu star from Hong Kong who can reach the international reputation of Bruce Lee.

"Brother..."

Seeing Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao walking in, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa honestly called "big brother".

For them, Sammo Hung is still the well-deserved big brother, and this will not change in any way.

"Congratulations to Ah Ying, the first good fortune in the Hong Kong film industry this year must be yours."

"Mr. Zombie" is not suitable to be released during the Spring Festival, so Lin Daoqiu put the drama on New Year's Day.

Lin Zhengying naturally doesn't think too much about this. He feels that it is actually a very good thing to put it on this schedule.

And because the first part of "Mr. Zombie" has already received a good reputation, Lin Zhengying is really not too worried about the box office of the sequel.

"Brother, you're welcome. I'm just lucky."

Lin Zhengying smiled and shook his hand, still looking very humble.

"Uncle Jiu, don't be polite. I think judging from the quality of "Mr. Zombie", this drama will definitely become your golden signature in the future."

Nowadays, when most people see Lin Zhengying, they no longer call him by his name, but simply call him Uncle Jiu.

At the beginning, Lin Zhengying was not very used to it, but as the name was called more and more times, it became more and more common.

Even when Lin Daoqiu saw him, he couldn't help but call him Uncle Jiu, which forced Lin Zhengying to accept this title.

"I think if the Xiangjiang theater chain restarts by then, it might be possible for "Mr. Zombie" to break 40 million."

At this time, Zhong Fa suddenly said something that surprised both Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

However, they all thought that Zhong Fa was just talking casually. After all, the bosses of Baojia Cinemas were Zou Wenhuai and Bao Shaogang.

It is almost impossible for Lin Daoqiu to restart the Xiangjiang Cinema Line.

And judging from the hostile situation between Lin Daoqiu and Bao Shaogang, unless one of them withdraws, it will be difficult for Lin Daoqiu to restart the Xiangjiang Cinemas chain.

"Brother, if things develop well in Xiangjiang, it will be no worse than abroad."

Lin Zhengying thought for a while and finally said what was in his heart.

Ever since Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao left Hong Kong to film in Hollywood, Hong Kong has suddenly lost two of its top kung fu superstars.

Moreover, after Jackie Chan finished filming "Police Story", he also went to Hollywood to film "Red Zone".

Because of this, almost none of the Kung Fu movies in Hong Kong in 1982 were outstanding.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is all caused by Lin Daoqiu's butterfly effect.

But Lin Zhengying didn't know this. He only knew that if things continued like this, it would not be a good thing for anyone.

After listening to Lin Zhengying's words, Sammo Hung also nodded silently.

He previously only wanted to make a name for himself in Hollywood and inherit Bruce Lee's legacy.

But unfortunately, he obviously thought of things too simply before.

After seeing Lin Daoqiu's movies becoming popular in Hollywood, I felt that I and Yuan Biao could do the same.

But everyone knows that success in Hollywood is by no means an easy task, especially for Chinese people.

"I know that A Biao and I will shoot a few more movies this year to make up for what we missed last year."

While Sammo Hung and Lin Zhengying were chatting, Lin Daoqiu had already walked in from the outside with Brigitte Lin.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Lin..."

As soon as Sammo Hung and others saw Lin Daoqiu, they immediately went forward to greet him.

"As soon as I came in, I heard Sanmao saying that he would shoot more movies this year. It seems that the audience in Xiangjiang will be blessed this year."

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are now in their prime, and many classic movies were born at this time.

Their departure to Hong Kong is definitely a huge loss to Chinese films.

But things are getting better now. After experiencing previous setbacks, they are no longer eager to go to Hollywood, which may be a good thing.

"If Brother Hong wants to film a movie then, remember to leave a role for me."

Brigitte Lin has collaborated with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao in "The Mummy" before, so they are considered old acquaintances.

"Of course it would be best if we could invite Miss Lin. You are now an international star."

Sammo Hung never thought that he could have Brigitte Lin as the heroine in his new film.

But asking her to play a guest role shouldn't be a big problem.

Originally, Lin Qingxia just said it casually, but because of her words, Lin Daoqiu suddenly seemed to think of something.

"How about we all make a New Year's film..."
