Chapter 77 The Name of Bole, the plot is adapted from reality (please subscribe)
After making the arrangements, Xu Jiajun was free. Now except for serious cases, there was no need for him to personally lead the team to investigate and arrest people.
As a leader, if you still do everything personally, how can the people below make contributions? How can they express themselves?
Anyway, he only needs to sit in the office and write documents and sign, or go out to watch movies and pick up girls under the guise of investigating a case. After his subordinates finish a certain case, they will have a share of the credit credited to him.
For example, right now, he is fishing.
"Brother Jun, A Better Tomorrow is showing tonight, are you going to watch it?" Zhong Chuhong was lying in Xu Jiajun's arms with her clothes half undressed, her face was red, her eyes were blurred, and a few strands of messy hair were soaked with sweat and stuck to her face.
A Better Tomorrow is released today, but Pretty Girl has been postponed to prevent the two films from killing each other.
Xu Jiajun wiped his hands on her skirt and replied casually: "If you want to go, I'll go with you."
He had nothing to do, so of course he wanted to go. This was his first time making a movie, so it was very memorable.
"Brother Jun is so nice." Zhong Chuhong didn't know this, so she just thought that Xu Jiajun was accommodating to her. With a smile as bright as a flower, she happily kissed him on the face.
The time comes at night.
In the front row of Kaisheng Theater, Hui Jiajun and Zhong Chuhong were sitting in the most conspicuous position. Next to them were Lei Juekun, Zhou Runfa, Di Long and other actors and directors.
Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, and Mai Jia also came, and their Struggle Pictures was bought into by Lei Juekun, renamed New Art City Film and Television Company, and joined the Golden Princess Cinema Line.
At the end of March, Lei Juekun announced that Lisheng Cinemas would be renamed Golden Princess Cinemas, and at the same time announced the abolition of the theater chain's subsidized system that had been implemented for many years.
This reform system has attracted many independent film companies. Coupled with its partners Oriental Pictures and New Art City, Golden Princess Cinema has established a firm foothold in the film industry and has a place.
Many reporters and celebrities came to the scene, and the seats were packed. After all, Shanghai Beach had just finished broadcasting, Zhou Run was in high fever, and there were many viewers who came to him.
Zhou Runfa looked tense and held his girlfriend Chen Yulian's hand hard. He had made movies before but the response was mediocre. This time he didn't want to be disappointed again.
The same was true for Zhong Chuhong, her little face was full of anxiety, and she held Xu Jiajun's hand tightly with both hands.
"Relax, it'll be fine." Xu Jiajun patted the back of her hand to comfort her. Compared to the others who were nervous, he was very relaxed and just a little expectant.
As the lights were turned off, the theater where people were still chatting in low voices suddenly became quiet. Along with the majestic and short music, the logo of Oriental Pictures first appeared on the screen, followed by the film title.
The opening song played, and the calm Song Zihao, the unrestrained Xiao Ma, and the slightly reserved driver Tan Cheng appeared on the screen. As the camera turned, batch after batch of counterfeit banknotes were produced on the assembly line...
Song Zihao took Tan Cheng to Taiwan for business, but was betrayed, leaving Tan Cheng to escape alone and imprisoned himself.
Brother Ma went to Taiwan to take revenge, and blood splattered on Maplewood Pavilion.
The lame Xiao Ma was humiliated by his former younger brother Tan Cheng and vowed to take back everything that belonged to him.
The plot is passionate, touching, and climaxes one after another. The audience just feels happy, but professional filmmakers such as Huang Baiming and Wu Yusen are shocked beyond measure.
How can a gangster movie still be made like this?
Although the movie has not yet finished screening, they all already know that this movie will become popular again and will create a new trend after the popularity of Happy Ghost.
Especially John Wu, who has long been tired of making comedies. He has always wanted to switch to making police and gangster shootout movies, and he even had a plan in mind.
But after seeing the true nature of the hero, he felt that the original understanding of gun battles in his mind was rubbish!
He desperately wanted to imitate this style.
The movie is still going on. In the end, Song Zihao, Song Zijie, and Xiao Ma Ge join forces to fight for Tan Cheng. The fast-paced gun battle makes people feel hearty. Finally, the movie comes to an end with the ending song "Love of the Year"...
Everyone was still immersed in the plot and had not come back to their senses. I don’t know who applauded first to break the silence, and then thunderous applause erupted in the theater.
A Better Tomorrow is an epoch-making film for Hong Kong at this time. Its appearance will change the pattern of movie genres and will also be a brand-new movie-watching experience for the audience, which is both enjoyable and touching.
The theater lights came on, and the audience was discussing the plot intensely as they left the theater. Some people even rushed out to buy tickets, wanting to watch it again.
"Ajun, congratulations, the movie is very good, it makes my old bones boil with excitement!" Lei Juekun held Xu Jiajun's hand with a bright smile. He was originally worried that Dongying's second movie would be a hit because of the different genres.
But now it seems that I have to wait and collect the money again.
Xu Jiajun smiled and said: "In that case, I suggest Lei Sheng that you show this film next time to add to the fun."
Everyone immediately laughed in understanding.
"Xu Sheng, I really didn't expect you to be better at shooting gunfights than comedies." Huang Baiming sincerely admired.
With a smile on his lips, Xu Jiajun pushed Du Qifeng to the front: "The success of the film is not due to me alone. The director is the main contributor."
"No, no, no, this is the first movie I directed. Many parts were made thanks to the guidance of Xu Sheng." Du Qifeng, who was still young, turned red with excitement, but kept speaking modestly.
Looking at the once unknown To Qifeng, everyone sighed in their hearts, Hui Jiajun is really Kim Bo Lok in the film industry, and he has discovered another talent.
………………
The next day, April 3rd.
"Eastern Film's new film is released, with long queues outside many theaters, ushering in a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office."
"Andy Hui once again breaks a new trend, a gangster hero movie, where brotherhood and passion are intertwined."
"First there was Gao Zhisen, and then there was Du Qifeng, two people came into being, and Xu Jiajun was a great player in the film industry."
The next day, various newspapers boasted about the hero's true qualities, successfully attracting more people to the theater.
"Sir Xu is acting in his true self, so beautiful."
"Yes, Song Zijie is so annoying, but looking at Sir Xu's face, I can't help but hate him."
"Brother Ma is also very handsome. He lights up cigarettes with dollar bills."
The streets are full of discussions about the nature of heroes.
Shaw Brothers Chairman's Office.
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!" Shao Yifu put down the newspaper and sighed. The first film "Happy Ghost" can be said to be luck, and the true nature of the hero is his true strength.
But he still couldn't understand. He looked at Zhou Runfa and Di Long: "Is this movie really that good?"
The newspaper said that this is another movie that is destined to exceed 10 million at the box office and will break the record of Happy Ghost.
Could it be that I really can’t keep up with the times?
"Uncle Six, I am an actor. If you ask me to tell you what is good about him, I can't tell you, but he is good-looking." Di Long said in a simple tone.
Zhou Runfa nodded: "Me too."
At this moment, Fang Yihua pushed the door open, glanced at Di Long and Zhou Runfa, and then looked at Shao Yifu and said, "Brother Six, Golden Princess Cinema has just released the first-day box office of A Hero's True Colors."
"How much?" Shao Yifu blurted out.
Zhou Runfa and Di Long also pricked up their ears.
Fang Yihua pursed his lips and said: "1.02 million."
Zhou Runfa and Di Long's pupils shrank suddenly. When they looked at each other, they could see the surprise and shock in each other's eyes, but they were worried about Shao Yifu and did not show it.
Shao Yifu remained silent for a long time.
1.02 million.
It broke the record of more than 800,000 on the first day of Cheng Long's "Junior Brother Goes Out" and became a new milestone.
He still remembers that a few years ago, it was considered good for a movie to have a total box office of over one million.
And now, A Better Tomorrow has exceeded one million on its first day.
"Brother Six?" Fang Yihua called him and further comforted him: "Afa deserves a lot of credit for achieving this result on the first day. After all, Shanghai Beach has just finished broadcasting the finale. Otherwise, he would not have reached this number."
In her mind, she had decided to strike while the iron was hot and ask the screenwriting department to write a script following Feng Yingxiong's true colors, and let Chow Run-fat and Ti Lung film it. The box office would definitely be good.
Shao Yifu exhaled heavily, and after a long time he said in a dry voice: "Go buy me a ticket."
At the same time, Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai was also shocked by the first-day box office figure of 1.02 million.
"Isn't this number watered down?" He Guanchang spoke up, breaking the eerie silence in the office.
Wu Yusen immediately objected: "It's impossible. I watched the whole movie last night. The quality of the movie is very good. It took less than a month for Happy Ghost to be drawn, and with the additions of Di Long and Zhou Yunfa, it was possible to get this box office on the first day."
It’s an exaggeration, but it’s understandable.”
He feels that the true character of a hero is worth this number.
"This box office must have reached 15 million, it is really scary." Zou Wenhuai sighed, and then cheered up: "This also shows that the movie market is hot now, which is beneficial to us. When Aaron's Killer Trench is released, it will definitely
We can reach new highs.”
If Shao Yifu is a pure businessman, then Zou Wenhuai is a businessman with ideals and feelings.
He has always wanted Hong Kong movies to enter Hollywood.
In the 1970s, Jiahe relied on Bruce Lee to briefly achieve this goal. After Bruce Lee died young, Jiahe pinned its hopes on Cheng Long.
"The Killer Trench" invested US$10 million and invited many foreign filmmakers to collaborate with Cheng Long.
Zou Wenhuai has high hopes for this big production, and is waiting to come back after filming to reduce the dimensionality, sweep the Hong Kong market, and gain a foothold in the global market.
But the results were not very good. The local box office in Xiangjiang was 5 million US dollars, and the global box office total was 20 million US dollars. It seemed good, but compared with the production cost of more than 10 million US dollars, the performance was mediocre, and it was even considered a flop.
"Zou Sheng, actually... I have always wanted to make a gunfight movie." Wu Yusen made this request.
Zou Wenhuai is a very tolerant person and willing to give people opportunities, not to mention that Wu Yusen also made a lot of money for the company: "Write a notebook and hand it over."
"Thank you Zou Sheng." Wu Yusen said happily, already gearing up for a big fight.
"Go buy me a ticket." Zou Wenhuai said.
Half an hour later, he and Shao Yifu bumped into each other at the entrance of Lisheng Theater, which was very embarrassing.
The relationship between the two of them is as awkward as this scene, and a book could be written about their feud.
Neither of them spoke, but they were even more embarrassed when they entered the theater, and their positions were connected together.
The two of them still said nothing and watched the movie quietly.
After watching, everyone started to leave, but they were the only ones who still sat there, sighing subconsciously, then looked at each other and looked away.
At this moment, they had mixed feelings in their hearts.
The two have cooperated for many years and fought for ten years. The only rival in their eyes is each other, but now they both feel the pressure and crisis from a young man.
Happy Ghost and A Better Tomorrow are two movies with completely different styles, but each of them has set a new trend and set new box office records.
This guy named Xu is really a monster.
How did his brain grow?
In ten days, the box office of A Better Tomorrow has exceeded 10 million, and some people have boldly predicted that the box office will exceed 20 million. Zhou Runfa, Di Long, Simon Yam, and Zhong Chuhong have all become famous, especially Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong.
Di Long has become famous and returned to the top.
Zhou Runfa was originally just a TV star, but now he has been promoted to a movie star, and his net worth has soared to 400,000.
Zhong Chuhong has a beautiful face and graceful figure. As the only heroine and Song Zijie's girlfriend, she is also deeply loved by movie fans and became an instant hit.
Of course, those who are envious of her don't know how many times she suffered from Xu Jiajun behind her back.
If you want to be beautiful in front of others, you have to strip naked behind others.
All the movies released during this period have become cannon fodder, and some companies' films have been postponed.
Although I knew that Dongfang Movies would have a movie called Pretty Girl released in the second half of the year, it was said to be a youth drama. The market for such movies is not big right now, so it was not considered to be a big pressure by my peers.
Xu Jiajun didn't know this, otherwise he would have mourned for them. He was writing a script at this time.
"Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers".
Isn't what happened to Ho Yaodong the prototype of the provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers? When the time comes, we can use gimmicks adapted from real cases to attract attention.
In fact, the Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers series is suspected of smearing the Mainland. If Hui Jiajun doesn't film it, McDonald's Bear will do it, so it's better to let him do it. We can also change several parts of the movie that smear the Mainland.
There are many big scenes in this movie. It is said that McDonald's Bear even pretended to be a policeman and blocked the streets for filming.
He doesn't need to pretend.
He can close the street with just a phone call.
With the hero's true nature at the forefront, this version of the Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers produced by East Film is sure to be a big seller.
When filming "A Better Tomorrow", East Film Company found Luo Lixian, Yang Qingqing, Liang Xiaolong and Lin Guobin as the core to establish the Xu family class. Liang Xiaolong was the class leader and Luo Lixian was the deputy class leader, so action scenes, speeding scenes, and explosion scenes were not included.
question.
When Hui Jiajun was writing the script, the prototype of the story, Ho Yiu-tung, who had been discharged from hospital, was preparing to kill someone.
The shootout at the Star Ferry Pier was fought off by his companions and Hua Shen under the operation of Xu Jiajun. He was exempted from prosecution and was discharged from the hospital this morning. Xu Jiajun gave him a gun and a copy of Ge Hongshen's movement track.
That action track was created by Awu. On the surface, the police did not want him in order to quickly close the case.
This will definitely be a fantasy in future generations.
But in today's chaotic Xiangjiang, it is normal.
This is also the reason why many people dare to return to Hong Kong to continue their crimes after committing a crime, because as long as the police did not issue a wanted order for that case, the matter will be over after the case is concluded.
So after the dust settled on the case, Awu returned to Ge Hongshen and opened a Xiangtang and became a red stick. He knew Ge Hongshen's life pattern best.
According to Awu, Ge Hongshen would go to Jinniu Mahjong Hall to play cards for a while at four o'clock every afternoon.
Next to the phone booth with peeling paint, He Yaodong was wearing a black sportswear, with the zipper tightly zipped, and a white peaked cap on his head.
Looking up at the Jinniu Mahjong Hall opposite, He Yaodong slowly finished the pineapple bun in his hand in small bites, just as the red light turned green.
He put the packaging bag into his trouser pocket, then put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the mahjong parlor across the street.
When he walked to the zebra crossing, he saw an old lady walking very slowly. With a gentle smile on his face, he stepped forward to help her: "Grandma, let me help you cross."
