The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

"Why is there something dirty on my face?" Yang Dongxu was a little uncomfortable being looked at by the two people, he looked at himself and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the bottom of his trousers.

"I didn't expect you to be considerate of other people." Fu Decai said with emotion.

"Am I as bad as you said?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes.

Fu Chaming nodded beside him, making Yang Dongxu even more speechless.

I am obviously very easy to get along with and have a very gentle temper, okay? And he is still very democratic. He didn't see Fude before he felt that this decision was wrong. He also felt that he was taking a risk to save face by being able to come, and it would be unkind to force him to stand in line, so did he change his decision? Where can I find such a reasonable boss?

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Dongxu did not stand at the door to greet the movie premiere, although it was a bit impolite. But he doesn't want to reveal his identity except for those who have worked with him. Besides, it's not rude for the general manager Fu Decai to stand at the door to greet him.

Yang Dongxu in the front row would definitely not sit there, otherwise he would not be keeping a low profile, he would obviously tell the guests that I am the big boss, but if I don’t stand at the door to greet you, you are not qualified...

As expected, the number of 'guests' came was much less than expected. Even if there were quite a few people who came, it was probably because of the cooperation with Heiner Company that they had to come. It's an honor, but only you know what you think in your heart.

But fortunately, although the guests at the premiere ceremony were nervous, they didn't find any farce such as someone throwing rotten eggs, or rotten socks and shoes. Everyone took a quick photo and got into the movie room.

"Why did you invest in such a movie?" Maggie Cheung pulled Yang Dongxu who was sitting a few rows behind and said in a low voice.

This is more than a headline, this is going to heaven. It should have been a pleasant surprise to see the movie invested by Yang Dongxu really hit the headlines, but now it is absolutely shocking.

"Is there anything wrong with investing in this movie?" Yang Dongxu blinked and asked with a smile.

"That...that...that rich manager's words are a bit unpleasant." Maggie Cheung didn't know how to answer for a while, and it seemed normal for Yang Dongxu, as a mainlander, to invest in a movie made by a mainlander. So she dumped the blame on Fu Decai who had been holding the press conference at the front.

If Fu De heard Maggie Cheung's words, he must have vomited three liters of blood, and then roared: "I won't take this blame."

"Speaking is not nice." Yang Dongxu nodded seriously, looking serious.

Fude, who was sitting in front, suddenly sneezed and felt the chill behind him.

Although not many people came, all those who should have come have come, and Yang Dongxu doesn't care about those who shouldn't come and those who should come or not. Anyone who knew Yang Dongxu knew his character, so even though he saw him sitting in the back row instead of the front row, he didn't bother him and nodded his head as a greeting. It's just a little strange to see that he and Maggie Cheung are quite familiar. I haven't heard of any cooperation between Maggie Cheung and Haina Company.

As for those who didn't know Yang Dongxu, seeing that Maggie Cheung was very familiar with him, they didn't care too much, thinking that this 'child' was a child of Maggie Cheung's relatives or friends who brought him here to see the world. This is normal. If it weren't for the press conference of Heiner Company that made the movie a big bomb, many people would bring some relatives and friends who want to enter the industry to see if they can secure some directors and investors.

When all the people arrived, Fude didn't talk nonsense, and signaled to the people behind that they could start playing. The originally whispered discussion in the screening room quickly quieted down. No matter what mood they were in when they came here, everyone was quickly overwhelmed by the plot of the movie. absorb.

To be honest, from the perspective of the storyline, there is nothing very novel. This type of story has long been badly filmed. But no matter what the plot structure is, this movie feels really good to watch. Both the plot connection and the fighting scenes are extremely exciting, and the actors' performances are also very good.

If it weren't for the headline incident in the morning, this movie would not be close to the top three in Hong Kong's box office this year, but it can still have a place in the top ten. But now, the high-level executives of Haina Company played a good hand of cards a little bit badly.

"How is it?" Yang Dongxu looked at Maggie Cheung nervously after the movie was shown.

To be honest, the first film was made out of "Heroes of Fist of Fury" instead of other classic comedy movies. It is naturally related to Yang Dongxu's martial arts dream, otherwise the two consecutive films that decided to start filming would not be martial arts films.

But Yang Dongxu also knows one thing, that is, pure martial arts movies are not the first choice in Hong Kong, comedy is the theme of this era, but besides Yang Dongxu's desire to make martial arts movies, naturally there is another purpose in choosing martial arts movies.

"It's pretty good-looking." Maggie Cheung said without hesitation, leaving aside the incident in the headline, this scene of the movie is indeed very exciting. Especially the fighting scenes in the back make people have a thrilling feeling.

It's not just that everyone present has a bright feeling, but they always feel that something is missing.

Good-looking, wonderful. This is the first reaction of all those who have watched the movie, but you can say whether it is a boutique or even a classic. They were a little hesitant in their hearts. After all, this kind of pure martial arts movie without comedy elements always feels a bit unsatisfactory to those who are used to watching Hong Kong movie comedies.

After sending all the guests back, Fude found Yang Dongxu frowning.

"What's the matter, the movie wasn't made well?" Seeing Fu Decai's expression, Yang Dongxu's expression was still very relaxed.

"It's not bad. The movie must be a good movie. Even the people from the Film Association can't say that this movie is rubbish, but it doesn't seem to suit the appetite of Hong Kong people." Fu De said with a sigh.

Yang Dongxu made a film for the first time and also worked part-time as a screenwriter, director, producer and other roles. The fact that a film made with this level definitely shocked the Hong Kong film circle. But now that the 'clamorous' publicity has made things so big, this makes the movie, although good, still a bit underwhelming.

"Otherwise, what do you think I would ask you to hold more press conferences?" Yang Dongxu had a cunning smile on his lips.

"What backhand do you have left?" Looking at Yang Dongxu's expression, Fu Decai knew that this guy must have bad water in his stomach.

"I know that pure martial arts movies are not as popular as comedies in Hong Kong, but the Hong Kong box office cannot be ignored. After all, this is a big hit. But you have to admit that this kind of martial arts movies has a very strong market overseas.

Even if it is placed in Japan, it can sell well. You said that a movie that can sell more than 10 million box office in Hong Kong can also be a big hit overseas, compared with a movie that can sell more than 20 million box office in Hong Kong but has a poor box office overseas, which one is worse? is attractive. "

"It's a bit difficult to say. Some celebrities only look at the latter. Naturally, the latter is better. After all, the Hong Kong market is very important. They can make more money while gaining fame. They naturally choose the one with the highest box office. But from a long-term perspective, the former More importantly, after all, no matter how important the Hong Kong film industry is, it is only a corner, and the sky will be more open if it goes out." Fu De thought for a while and said.

After finishing speaking, he reacted: "You said our movie can exceed ten million?"

Fude, who was a little worried at first, heard Yang Dongxu say that the box office of the movie can exceed 10 million, and his eyes immediately lit up. Judging from the box office performance in Hong Kong in the past few years, if it can exceed 10 million, it is possible even if it is just over 10 million. Entered the top ten box office movies in 1990.

Although the top ten is not in the top three or the first is a bit of a pity, but this answer sheet can definitely dispel the worry that Fu Decai just didn't have enough weight. Who dares to say that the first film made a box office of over 10 million and entered the top ten films in Hong Kong's annual box office. The company is rubbish and doesn't know how to make movies?

"It should be no problem to exceed 10 million without accidents." Yang Dongxu said, but he was a little uncertain in his heart. After all, he is a reborn and the movie was filmed in advance.

Although in his impression Jet Li's martial arts movie period was the peak period of Hong Kong martial arts movies. None of the martial arts movies with Jet Li as the leading role has a box office of less than 10 million, but who knows if his reborn butterfly wings will have any impact on this box office.

"As long as it exceeds 10 million, I can shut up those people with bad mouths." Fude waved his fist and was instantly full of fighting power.

A movie company with a box office of tens of millions, even Golden Harvest wouldn't dare to say that the box office of the movie he made would definitely exceed 10 million, right?

But now the box office results of tens of millions have not been released, and it is not known whether it will be a hit overseas. So after the premiere, the major media exploded. In this era when the Internet is not well developed, the public's evaluation of the movie is good or bad, except for a few people who were interviewed at the entrance of the movie theater, struggling on the front line of criticism Of course, those film critics, popular stars, or film company bosses, etc., after all, you are an ordinary person who writes a manuscript and the newspaper will not publish it for you.

So there was no need to wait for the morning headlines of the next day, the evening papers had already begun to report overwhelmingly. The content of the report is naturally full of bad reviews, and all film critics almost overwhelmingly believe that this is a bad movie, a case of an extremely failed remake of Bruce Lee's movie.

And under the instigation of people with good intentions, this kind of critical attack is not only an attack on the film itself, but also a bundled attack. For example, if you say that the director is bad, you can even say that the actors are bad and the company is bad.

Jet Li has made so many blockbuster movies, why do you say his acting skills are not good? Sammo Hung has a certain status in the entire martial arts industry in Hong Kong. Why do you say that his martial arts guidance is rubbish? The Haina film department only made this supplemental film, how can you be sure that this is a bad film company?

If the propaganda of Haina Company was regarded as clamor before, then the criticism of these film critics is an indiscriminate attack of extreme prejudice. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, everything related to Haina Company is rubbish.

"How could they do this?" Fu Decai looked at the newspaper in front of him with burning eyes, and he probably even wanted to kill someone at this time.

"What's there to be angry about? Isn't this expected?" Taking the newspaper in his hand and flipping through it casually, Yang Dongxu sneered: "I really spared no effort, but this proves that they are afraid."

"Scared?" Fude was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

That's right, this kind of vicious attack, and everyone jumped out to attack together. In addition to refuting the previous clamor of Haina Company, it also proved that the people in these film companies are afraid.

Otherwise, those film critics jumped out, why did these bosses criticize shirtless? Wouldn't it be more powerful to say that Haina Company is rubbish after your company's movie slaps "Jing Wu Heroes" at the box office? It seems that he is more anxious and aggressive?

"Prepare over there, since they are starting to be shameless, then we will not be polite." Yang Dongxu's eyes flickered coldly.
