After Zhang Cheng returned home, the public's enthusiasm for watching the first part of "Heroes in the East" was no longer so high. Although for viewers who like to watch it, they have watched it several times, and sometimes they still feel that it is not enough.

It was really enjoyable and I would go see it again if I had the money and time.

For those who regard movies as peepshows, watching them once or twice is enough.

The current situation in theaters is that the occupancy rate in the morning is only about 20% to 30%, and the occupancy rate from afternoon to evening ranges from 40% to 70%.

When Zhang Cheng edited the documentary on the battlefield as the second part of "The Great Hero", the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie exploded again.

I'm just a Kung Fu fan. After queuing up to buy tickets and watching the second part of "The Great Hero Dongfang Sheng", I was deceived. This is a war movie. Although Dongfang Sheng is the protagonist in it, there is also Dongfang Sheng holding the title.

There is a scene of a sword going into battle to kill the Japanese, but the main thing is to record the process of several wars.

If we only look at it from a movie perspective, this is the movie that sacrifices the most extras in the world - those who were bombarded to death, those who were shot to death, those who were stabbed to death with bayonets, those who were hacked to death with machetes, and those who were stabbed to death with spears.

Those who are dead are all really dead.

Of course, the audience didn't know this. They just thought it was a dramatic performance, and the particularly bloody scenes in the shot were cut out during the editing.

The shelling scenes were also shot with long shots.

Although some kung fu fans are not satisfied, the second part of "The Great Hero Dongfang Sheng" is still extremely good as a movie.

Whether it was the nervousness of the soldiers before the war or the fierce and brave fighting between the two armies, many viewers were hooked.

Well, it is a documentary after all. These emotions are not staged, but the real reactions of the soldiers on the battlefield.

This second movie was also Zhang Cheng’s careful consideration. The Flower Kingdom would still have to go to war with the foreigners in the future. However, at this time, the Flower Country was defeated twice in the face of the foreign coalition forces, which made the entire Flower Kingdom lose their confidence. In the foreign newspapers of the Eastern Freeport Concession, the foreigners

The bribed Erjiizi scholar Hu Chishi published an article in the newspaper every day, clamoring that the Hua people must be slaves to the foreign adults in order to be qualified to live in the future.

Dongfang Sheng, on the other hand, used guerrilla warfare. Even though its troops and weapons were far behind the enemy, Dongfang Sheng constantly took the initiative to find the enemy's weak points to attack, and then ambush the enemy's only way to reinforce them again and again.

Dongfang Sheng perfectly combined guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare and ambush warfare, and won battles again and again in the face of enemies with superior weapons and strength.

The purpose of this movie is to let the ordinary people of the Flower Kingdom see clearly that the imperial court lost the war because the carnivores were incapable of far-sightedness. As long as they used their brains and weapons, they could win the war. Moreover, when the locals were fighting against the invaders, anyone could win the war.

Any bloody man is a qualified soldier.

After the second part of "The Great Hero Dongfang Sheng" was released, there was a rush to watch the movie, because the first part of "The Great Hero Dongfang Sheng" still had die-hard fans of Dongfang Sheng who liked to watch it.

"Seven days after the second part was released, theaters began to play the first and second parts in turn, which also resulted in a good attendance rate.

Before the first part of "Heroes Victory in the East" appeared, not only the Chinese people at this time, but also the foreigners in the Oriental Freeport Concession, most of them had never seen a color movie.

Panyao Cinema Line's two theaters in the concession also had good attendance rates, although the foreigners didn't believe that Chinese people could make movies at first.

But the fact is such a slap in the face, the flower country has produced better movies than the foreigners. And they are the latest color movies.

The first movie in Flower Country was originally intended to be watched by foreigners for fun. However, it turned out that whether it was the plot or the lighting and sound effects, it was better than the movie made by foreigners in every aspect. In terms of martial arts design, it was even better.

It is far beyond the kind of fights in foreign movies where you punch me and kick you. In the mid-1990s in Hollywood, movie fight scenes were still punching and kicking me. At that time, there was no martial arts instructor industry in Hollywood.

As a result, foreigners were slapped in the face after watching it, and foreign newspapers were also quiet, as if there was no "Heroes in the East" on the market.

However, Zhang Cheng had his own newspaper before he made the movie. Foreign newspapers would not publish it, and his own newspaper would never be stingy with pen and ink. After the popularity of "Heroes in the East", there were letters from the audience and manuscripts from the first generation of film critics.

All of them were published in Ta Kung Pao one by one.

Audiences already like to watch "The Heroes of the East", and the very down-to-earth Ta Kung Pao, which publishes these popular film reviews and letters from readers, has also seen an increase in sales, because everyone's viewing angle is different, and in the hands of a thousand people

There are a thousand Audrey Hepburns.

Readers of Ta Kung Pao can also see things they overlooked when watching movies from the newspaper’s movie reviews and letters from readers. Readers who have time will also watch the movie again because of the movie reviews in the newspaper that they didn’t pay attention to last time they watched the movie.

something arrived.

As a result, newspapers and movies have formed a complementary relationship.

Zhang Cheng understood this a long time ago. Newspapers and movies were the earliest prototypes of media groups. Otherwise, he would not have only been engaged in these two businesses as soon as he arrived here.

Media groups can also be seen as the right to speak. Whoever controls a media group controls the right to speak. In my own world, financial groups in Western countries are still holding on to paper newspapers that are losing money year by year in the 21st century. They just don’t want to let go of the word.

right.

In large and small cities in the Flower Kingdom, during the breaks between storytelling and listening to music in teahouses, literate storyteller apprentices will also be asked to read newspapers to the guests.

"It's already very cheap. Two sets of film copies and a set of projection equipment only cost 3,000 silver dollars. You know, if you buy this set of projection equipment separately, it will cost 500 silver dollars. If you want to do this business of showing movies, you must

I have also learned about it. The market value of one hour of blank color film is eight hundred silver dollars. What's more, this is the copy film that has been used to shoot excellent movies.

You see, the first part of Heroes of the East hired more than a hundred extras, and the second part was even more impressive, with thousands of extras. It’s not a small deal if you think you have to manage the food and drink of thousands of people.

It’s a real big-scene war movie that has never been made even by foreigners.”

In the Ta Kung Pao newspaper office, Liu Yundai was eloquent in promoting sales to businessmen who came to buy movie copies and projectors after reading the advertisements in the newspaper.

In order to allow more people to open up their people's wisdom and even learn the essence of guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare against aggression, Zhang Cheng decided to sell copies of the two movies "Heroes in the East" and self-made projectors through large-scale profit concessions - we
