454. Chapter 454 Scene 454 He's a Disaster

When many Hong Kong filmmakers didn't understand how this small investment without stars could make Hong Kong people's tastes, the box office of "Those Years" had surpassed the glorious classics of Hong Kong films such as "Tang Bohu's Spots of Autumn", "Falling School Veyron", "Thunder Fire", "God of Gambling 2", and "Drunk Fist 2".

The only Chinese films in front of him are Chen Long's "Red Fan District" and Zhou Xingxing's "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu"... Just think about it, "Those Years" is only three weeks after it was released, and it is only one step away from the box office of "Kung Fu" of 610,000 yuan, which means it is almost destined to become the overlord of Chinese films in the Hong Kong film industry.

"Although this is a Taiwanese movie, every touching person who has student time will resonate with this movie. Youth has no regional boundaries~" commented Ho Junhui, director of the Hong Kong Film Critics Association.

"How long have I not seen such a surprising movie released by Hong Kong cinemas? A movie that makes people feel so fresh and beautiful, "Those Years" can make people go back to the past. Happy Li has few sincerity among Chinese directors." Ming Pao reporter Shi Qi described in her article

"After watching "Those Years", Hong Kong filmmakers should also be aware of it. Don't always look for topics in the glory of the past. Only innovative types can have a way out." Zhou Wenzhi, a reporter from Wenhui Po, compared with the judging taste.

The famous 31-year-old film critic, Paul Fang, a Jew American who loves Chinese films, commented in the South China Morning Post:

"I am very surprised that in the Hong Kong film industry, where commercial films have always been rampant, a youth film like "Those Years" that completely does not conform to the logic of commercial films is so popular. The decaying atmosphere of money in Hong Kong is blown by this breeze, which seems much gentler."

"Dear friends, hello, I am Li Xiaole, happy."

Hong Kong fans are so enthusiastic that Li Xiaole will naturally not disappoint them, including this interview on the "Tournament Reply to Thanks and Celebration Banquet".

His working principle is to promote the film and participate in meaningful activities, but time should not be wasted on celebrity parties and celebrity parties. He came to Hong Kong not to join in on these fun, but for his fans, so the program interview is naturally inevitable, and he wants to find the most popular and most popular program. Today, he got off the plane and returned to the hotel and made an exclusive TVB entertainment interview.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The boys and movie fans were also very interested. A young and beautiful high school girl was very excited: "Happy Brother can speak vernacular!" The mother who was wearing sweaters next to her said disapprovingly: "It's not good at all. I must have just learned it, so I just lie to you little girls. I think Xie Xian was much handsomer than him back then, and we were not as crazy as you."

The daughter immediately retorted: "Mom, do you have any vision? He is so handsome, I am willing to be deceived by him. Don't talk about Xie Xian? Even Nicholas Tse and Louis Koo are not as handsome as him, and he is so talented. He earns more than one billion Hong Kong dollars from scratch...!"

Seeing the Hong Kong girl's popular lover Li Xiaole, tvb Jade Channel interview reporter Zhang Meini hopes to arouse the anger of the movie fans. She raises her emotions and speaks to the tvb Taiwan microphone in her hand, and her voice is quite excited:

"I'm so excited, so excited! What should I do! Happy Brother is next to me!" Li Xiaole glanced at her with a forced smile, thinking that the female reporter was too exaggerated. She sprayed her saliva on her clothes. She was embarrassed to say it directly, so she could only take out a tissue and wipe it on Zhang Meini, and smiled and hint:

"Sorry, I'm not talking about Cantonese. I just squirted out my saliva and made your clothes dirty."

"Wow~~ Happy Brother is so gentleman~~" Zhang Meini looked intoxicated.

The female audience in front of the screen were also sensational, "So nice, so gentle and considerate!" A young and beautiful woman was holding a pillow and fancy hair. She just followed the trend and liked this handsome guy director. Now she really felt that his charm could penetrate the heart of every woman. She was really handsome~ Such a talented handsome guy is so friendly and approachable, she really likes happiness. It's getting more and more serious...

When a person who likes Chongxing reaches a certain level, he will fantasize about becoming his friend, lover, and public lover, especially this. As a reporter, Zhang Meini does not ask about movies and is not professional. The first question is to ask: "Brother Happy, I want to ask you on behalf of the majority of female movie fans, please answer seriously, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No~" Li Xiaole didn't expect it, but secretly drew a circle under his feet, meaning that this doesn't count.

"Then what do you think of our Hong Kong girls?" Zhang Meini chased the aisle.

"They are all very beautiful, very enthusiastic, and I like them very much." Li Xiaole was asked this question, and they all had the same answer, but after saying that, he still emphasized: "But when I heard someone called me 'Oba' when I picked up the plane... I want to explain that I am Chinese, so it's better to call me Xiaole, Director Li, of course, happy is barely enough, 'Oba' is really inappropriate..."

Listening to Li Xiaole constantly emphasizing that she is Chinese, Hong Kong female movie fans are increasingly appreciating him. The young stars in Hong Kong hate the Chinese name others call him and think it is very rustic. This talented director likes to hear others call him "Xiaole". Regardless of whether he is polite or not, it makes everyone think he is very natural. Zhang Meini finally showed an appreciation look and began to ask some questions about the movie:

"Congratulations to "Those Years" for being very hopeful to become the Chinese box office champion in Hong Kong's film history. I would like to ask Director Lee, many Hong Kong education experts say that young people are wasting time watching this movie, and they are completely whining away from anything. Hong Kong people should support Hong Kong people's own movies more. In this regard, Brother Happy, what do you want to say to them?"

"We are really grateful for everyone's love and support for "Those"~" Li Xiaole calmly said with a pursed mouth towards the microphone:

"Everyone has the right to express their opinions when it comes out. From a certain perspective, this movie is really boring. Since everyone likes to watch it, it proves that it is like Ke Jingteng's line. There are many things in life that are futile and you don't have to learn anything. I think time should be wasted on beautiful things. Chen Long, Zhou Xingxing and my movies should be considered beautiful things that cannot be learned... Haha~ Just kidding, please don't scold me for your fans of Big Brother and Stephen Chow."

Seeing him shrugging and laughing self-deprecatingly, Zhang Meini and the audience at this time laughed. The audience was very impressed by Li Xiaole's eloquence and wit. The reporter clearly wanted to arouse his desire to fight, but he underestimated the pride of Hong Kong filmmakers Chen Long and Zhou Xingxing, which made the Hong Kong people's favor for him even deeper when they saw this scene in front of the movie screen.

I have to say that the whole of Hong Kong is now in the whirlwind of Li Xiaole, and you can hear screams and amazement in various occasions where Li Xiaole appears.

"Happy boy!", "It's really him!! Happy brother!!", "Li Xiaole!!!"...

At the same time, in Taiwan, the craze caused by Li Xiaole is no less than that of Hong Kong. The Taiwan News Administration Bureau, which invested in "Those Years" and "Cape Seven", was completely trapped in a carnival atmosphere. The industry analysts invited by the United States all fell into glasses. Taiwanese movies fell into a trough and Taiwanese movies were about to go bankrupt. Li Xiaole arrived in Taiwan in just one year and created a box office report card of nearly 100 million... You should know that the total box office of Taiwanese movies last year was only 1.98 billion...

Li Xiaole alone subverted all Hollywood companies' foundations that have been operating in Taiwan for more than ten years.

WarnerWillson Dawson, president of Greater China at WarnerWill Show, described in his report on Time Warner Group at the end of the year:

"2005 was a year of disaster in Greater China. All the movies that our company promoted did not meet expectations. The main reason was the strong rise of mainland and Taiwan films. All these factors were due to a director, Li Xiaole. It took us more than ten years to defeat local films in Taiwan and mainland, and the absolute advantage of establishing their markets. But within just one year, he brought the balance back to the state ten years ago. China Film Group, Taiwan News Bureau and Li Xiaole were simply a terrible disaster..."

The Administrative News Bureau, a "incompetent" institution criticized by Taiwanese media a year ago, is now the most "eyed" investment company in Taiwan. The Free Press, which has never given the government a good look, all said that they have created a "business miracle" and have made great contributions to the overall recovery of Taiwanese films.

The cultural leaders of the New Wave faction, who were originally criticized by the Administrative News Bureau, did not intend to make the News Bureau feel better. They said in the media:

"Those Years and Cape 7 are both products of the cooperation between the News Agency and the Mainland Government. The purpose is to erode our film market with mainland culture. It is not a Taiwanese movie at all. If you love Taiwan, please do not buy tickets to go to the cinema to watch this movie."

In fact, everyone understands that these so-called New Wave cultural leaders just say that the grapes are sour. The fact is that because the News Bureau gave the movie auxiliary funds to Li Xiaole and Wei Desheng, and whether there were any people who gave these people a good meal, Taiwanese movies have flourished this year.

And because it was offensive to the media, several cultural leaders who had columns in traditional media were swept out, including Wang Qun. As Li Xiaole's lord, he spared no effort to discredit the cooperation between the News Bureau and Li Xiaole, and eventually became a laughing stock. The editors were furious and regarded him as a punching bag and fired him.
