Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 29 Strange

As major newspapers published this good news, more and more people went to the theater to watch "Modern Bodyguard".

On the third day, the single-day box office increased to HK$820,000. On the fourth day, it dropped slightly, to HK$760,000. On the fifth day, it dropped again, to HK$680,000. The sixth and seventh days were the same, both at HK$530,000.

.

Since then, the movie "Modern Bodyguard" has grossed a box office of HK$4.33 million within one week of its release.

It is easy to beat the previous film "Half a Category" by the three Hui brothers. I am afraid that it will break the box office of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars and create Hong Kong film history!

Just when the outside world was shocked by the explosive box office performance of this film, within Tengyue Entertainment, Su Cheng, Liang Shuyi, Wang Jing and others began to promote the film "Chasing Girls".

It was originally scheduled to be released on the 25th, but "Modern Bodyguard" was too powerful, so several people discussed and postponed the release date to February 1st. Naturally, the promotion will also be postponed.

This time, it was Liang Shuyi who went to TVB to discuss cooperation.

Due to the popularity of "Modern Bodyguard", Fang Yihua directly promoted it according to their wishes.

Coupled with the publication in the media and newspapers, the words "Produced by Tengyue Entertainment" quickly attracted the attention of a large number of people. After all, many people know that the movie "Modern Bodyguard" that is currently being released has many actors.

It’s a comedy, but the screenwriter is someone else, the boss of Tengyue Entertainment.

The second film will be released in such a short period of time, wouldn’t it be a pity not to watch it?

…

Time flies and February 1st arrives.

In the same theater, this time, in addition to the film critics and reporters, not only Wang Tianlin came again, but also Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, as well as the famous Jackie Chan and Jiahe.

The second in command, He Guanchang, also came.

This made Su Cheng sigh with emotion. Now that he's famous and powerful, it's just different!

The big shot He Guanchang was introduced by Sammo Hung: "Mr. Su, this is the director of Jiahe, He Guanchang."

"Director He, hello!"

"Hello, Mr. Su!" He Guanchang shook hands with a smile and praised: "Congratulations on the success of "Modern Bodyguard"!"

Hearing this, Su Cheng smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "That's all the work of the three heroes of the Xu family."

As of yesterday, the movie "Modern Bodyguard" has accumulated a box office of 8.83 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the contract signed between Su Cheng and Shaw Brothers, it will need to be screened for at least 10 days. In addition, the attendance rate is more than half, and the box office has exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is considered stable.

If you want to exceed the box office of 17 million Hong Kong dollars recorded in the system data, you will probably have to release it for at least 30 days, otherwise it will be extremely difficult.

At this moment, Jackie Chan, who was standing next to He Guanchang, suddenly interrupted: "Mr. Su, you are amazing! Xu Guanwen and the others did a good job in filming, and your script is even better!"

Just as he finished speaking, the system's voice rang.

"Ding! Found an S-class talent!"

"Ding! System mission released: Successfully signed the contract with actor Jackie Chan. Reward a movie."

Smiling and shaking hands, Su Chengyan said: "Mr. Cheng, thank you. I heard that your movie "Junior Brother Goes Out" was even better. At present, the movies produced by our company are all comedies. If the audience doesn't like it, or the funny factor is not in place, the box office will not be good.

How much better will it be? But your film is different. Since Bruce Lee, Kung Fu has been loved by Hong Kong movie fans. I am afraid it will not be weaker than Xu Guanwen's "Modern Bodyguard"."

There is some truth to what he said!

In the 1960s, Hong Kong movie fans liked martial arts films by Chang Cheh, Chu Yuan and others. In the early 1970s, they liked Bruce Lee's tough guy kung fu films. From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, they liked comedies plus kung fu films.

Not only in Hong Kong, but also in the Bay Islands and Southeast Asia, this type is popular.

This is how Jackie Chan became popular in the 1980s.

It wasn't until Chow Yun-fat's gambling movies and gun fight movies appeared that the situation eased.

In the 1990s, Stephen Chow's nonsense shocked Hong Kong. At that time, Jackie Chan entered Hollywood and became an international superstar in one fell swoop!

Together with Sammo Hung and others, he can be regarded as one of the good filmmakers who combine comedy with kung fu movies.

The so-called "bi-weekly success" is actually limited to Hong Kong itself. It radiates to Southeast Asia at most. As for Hollywood, only Jackie Chan has broken into it.

As for the reason? Firstly, Stephen Chow's nonsensical works are incomprehensible to foreigners, so there will naturally not be a huge response. Secondly, Chow Yun-fat's skills are mainly in literary films and some gunfight films. Unfortunately, there are no good scripts and characters to support it.

Regardless of whether what Su Cheng said was sincere or a compliment, Jackie Chan was very happy, scratched his head and said sheepishly: "This all depends on Director He's help."

Although Jackie Chan and He Guanchang are just "colleagues" in front of outsiders, Su Cheng knows that this "father and son" may kick out Sammo Hung and others in the near future, and may even hide certain things from Zou Wenhuai, causing Jiahe to spend a lot of money.

Funds are dedicated to training Jackie Chan!

After a few people chatted for a while, the movie "Chasing Girls" officially premiered.

Not to mention, if it were the pairing of Ng Mang-tat and Wong Jing, the comedy color would come out immediately, no less than the original film.

When Zhong Chuhong appeared, Su Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wang Jing deserves to be the "harvester of female stars"! She captured a beginner so well. Her youthfulness revealed rare dedication and perseverance. Even in just a few scenes, she attracted everyone's attention. Her skills

It’s evident!

Glancing at Wang Tianlin, who was sitting not far from Wang Jing, Su Cheng sighed. What an amazing and famous director! This training ability is so powerful! I hope Johnnie To will be as good as that!

When the movie was over, many people who knew Wang Jing were not surprised, but were a little surprised that Wu Mengda was cast as the protagonist. However, the second round of screenings was about to be released here, and even reporters who had many questions in their minds left one after another.

Interviewing Wang Jing and others outside.

When leaving the theater, He Guanchang and Jackie Chan had already left. Sammo Hung still stayed with Yuan Biao, and said to Su Cheng: "Mr. Su, this is another good movie. If nothing else, I am afraid that with Xu Guanwen's

That movie "Half a Category" is comparable."

Hearing this, Su Cheng's eyes lit up and he said calmly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Hong, for your kind words! Last time you spoke, "Modern Bodyguard" was a great success! If it can succeed again this time,

Not only me, but also Wang Jing must have a big drink with you."

"No problem, then I will just wait for Mr. Su and Director Wang to take over!" Sammo Hung said with a smile.

After saying that, he took Yuan Biao and left. Looking at his back, Su Cheng vaguely felt something strange.
