1017 [Red carpet! Show off, tycoons gather together! 】
April 28, 1971.
Bruce Lee's first movie "Brother Tangshan" officially premiered at the Kowloon Grand Theater in Hong Kong.
This day has also been recorded in the history of Chinese film, because before this, Hong Kong films had never had so-called "premieres", often only "test screenings".
Moreover, test screenings are often filmed at midnight, and the filming director and movie boss will personally go to the test screenings to observe the audience's reaction.
If the audience is good, then the film's screening rate will be greatly improved. If the test screening is terrible and the film is criticized by the audience, then the result of the film will be disastrous, or it will be canceled directly and not even be released on a large scale.
There is no chance, either the number of films scheduled is poor, and then based on the box office after the film is scheduled, we will see if there is any possibility of counterattack. If it is not possible, it will be castrated directly!
On the day of the premiere, the whole of Hong Kong was in an uproar.
There are even more people in front of the Kowloon Grand Theater. There is also a red carpet laid out in front of the theater to facilitate the tycoons, celebrities and gentlemen to catwalk on it!
Only now did people realize that tonight's premiere was more like a "vanity fair" through and through.
Not only were a bunch of rich Hong Kong people walking around on the carpet, and beauties were posing and posing. Even many ghost guys who were invited by Shi Zhijian couldn't bear the loneliness. They wore jewelry and showed off their gentlemanly and ladylike side on the red carpet!
Media reporters came uninvited and gathered around both sides of the red carpet, setting up guns and cannons and shooting wildly at the people on the red carpet.
"Wow, look, that's the big star Chen Baozhu!"
"Next to Chen Baozhu is her foster father Cao Tat Hua!"
"Even Li Jiacheng, the big boss of Cheung Kong Holdings, is here?"
"And that one, it turns out to be Shen Bi, the boss of HSBC Bank!"
For a time, the red carpet was bustling with activity, and figures from Hong Kong's entertainment industry, business circles and political circles arrived at the scene.
The situation on the red carpet further demonstrates Shi Zhijian's extensive connections in Hong Kong and the number of friends he has.
Lei Luo came hand in hand with his wife Bai Yuechang, chewing a cigar.
The lame man came with a cane and pulled him as hard as 2,580,000 yuan!
Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao, two talented people from wealthy families appeared on the red carpet together.
The reporters at the scene were almost stunned by this scene and even ran out of camera film!
As the red carpet show came to an end, many guests were invited to the theater to watch the premiere of the play.
Those reporters who had not obtained movie tickets were as anxious as ants on a hot pot outside.
Those reporters who had some skills finally managed to sneak into the cinema after a great deal of effort, preparing to witness this unprecedented premiere ceremony!
…
Shao Daheng, wearing a hat and a beard stuck to the corners of his mouth, followed Fang Yihua quietly into the Kowloon Theater.
He didn't walk on the red carpet.
This time he just came to "watch the movie" as an ordinary spectator.
Of course, Shao Daheng felt a little jealous of the three hundred yuan ticket price. He felt that Shi Zhijian was a "black-hearted ghost" and that he was ripping people off! In comparison, Shaw Brothers were more conscientious. The tickets for "Ma Yongzhen"
The price is only ten dollars!
Shao Daheng thought it would be safe once he entered the cinema, so he took off his hat and pulled Fang Yihua towards his seats.
Who would have thought that after walking a few steps in the corridor, I heard a voice: "Uncle Six, why are you here?"
Shao Daheng was startled. He didn't expect that he would be recognized even though he was in disguise. Looking at the man again, Shao Daheng couldn't help but smile. The man was similar to him. He also wore a hat and a beard, and he also had two faces.
Personally, Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai!
Shao Daheng immediately calmed down and said: "Oh, I'm here to watch the premiere! Let's learn from each other! We will always learn from each other! How about you?"
Liu Jianxiong coughed twice: "We're here to learn too!" He pressed his beard hard with his hands to avoid falling off.
"It's great for young people to have this kind of attitude! Our seats are over there, don't bother us!"
"Okay, okay, please, Uncle Six!" Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai hurriedly moved out of the way.
Shao Daheng nodded and passed them with Fang Yihua.
In fact, there are many big names in the entertainment industry who came here tonight to take the initiative to "study". In addition to Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, the bosses of film companies such as Great Wall and Phoenix also came in disguise, some wearing hats, and some wearing hats. The wigs, and even the men disguised as women, make it impossible for people to recognize them, just like attending a "masquerade party".
The cinema is also divided into levels. The front seats are basically occupied by relatives and friends invited by Shi Zhijian. For example, Xu Sanshao, Huo Dashao, elder sister Shi Yufeng, Lei Luo and Lai Hao, etc., they all sit at the front. .
Next are the dignitaries, celebrities and gentlemen, as well as businessmen who have business dealings with Shi Zhijian.
This group of people became the main focus of the reporters, and they all took out their cameras to take pictures of this group of people.
On the surface, these people seem to be disgusted by these reporters' candid photos, but in fact they are happy and thinking that it would be better if they could be on the front page tomorrow!
It’s early to become famous! Isn’t it?!
When Shao Daheng, Liu Jianxiong and others who were hiding in the auditorium saw this, they couldn't help but sigh, even watching a movie is divided into three, six or nine. This Shi Zhijian has thought through people's hearts! Then he thought that he would do it next time his own movie is released. Such a premiere! When you study, you must apply what you learn!
"Master Zhao!"
"Master Huo!"
Master Zhao Zhijing of the White Crane Sect and Master Huo Qingjun of the Bagua Sect, two sects in Hong Kong, clasped their fists and bowed to each other.
"I didn't expect you to come over."
"I came here to see how the Kung Fu Emperor beat ten of them!"
"That's right! I'm here to ask for advice too!"
Zhao Zhijing and Huo Qingjun looked arrogant. They usually refused to obey the other, but now they both shared the same hatred and regarded Bruce Lee as their only opponent.
"In fact, in addition to our White Crane Sect and Bagua Sect, there are many martial arts friends here tonight. They must have the same idea as you and me, and they also want to see the true Kung Fu of the Kung Fu Emperor!"
"What's the real skill? I think he's just showing off!" Huo Qingjun looked disdainful, "We'll show him his true colors later!"
"Well said! Just take advantage of the fact that there are so many people here today and there are many big guys here, let's show our real skills on the spot and let that little boy know what it means that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and every mountain is bigger than a mountain. The mountain is high!”
After Zhao Zhijing and Huo Qingjun finished speaking, they looked up to the sky and laughed!
For them, the business of martial arts schools in Hong Kong has been difficult recently. Unlike in the 1950s, when young people were all interested in learning martial arts, today's young people can't bear the hardship and prefer to go to dance clubs to dance!
As a result, the business of their martial arts studio is getting worse and worse, their income has dropped sharply, and they can no longer even afford the ginseng tea they usually drink to nourish their energy and health!
Today happens to be a good opportunity to show off your martial arts skills. Why don't you explode by then?
Once you become famous, your martial arts gym business will definitely be booming! By then, instead of drinking ginseng tea, you can even rinse your mouth with abalone juice!
…
Two thousand spectators who had bought high-priced tickets entered the venue one after another. Some people who sneaked in through the back door didn't even have seats and could only stand in the aisle.
Those media reporters were surprised to find that there were not only two thousand people at the scene, but almost three thousand!
Based on the ticket price of 30 yuan per person, this premiere alone helped New Art City to raise 80,000 yuan!
What if all of Hong Kong goes online?
Not even a million dollars a day?!
When I think of this number, those reporters can no longer sit still!
The one who can't sit still is Shao Daheng. He is a genius in arithmetic, especially good at calculating box office. After just a few glances, he already knew that tonight's movie New Art City made almost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan! And his test screening venue was only
Ten thousand and fourteen! It’s so weak in comparison!
Before, Shao Daheng was complacent about the box office of tens of thousands of shows, but now he is dejected!
As if feeling the sense of loss and frustration in Shao Daheng's heart, Fang Yihua stretched out his hand and gently shook his hand and said: "That man named Shi has always been a cunning person, and never does things according to common sense! The success this time was also a surprise, but what happened later
…We’ll have to wait and see first!”
The comforted Shao Daheng nodded, "You're right! He just has uncanny skills. If New Art City wants to surpass Shaw Brothers, it needs to see the quality of the movies!"
The other side.
Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai also calculated the box office of tonight's New Art City premiere, and the figure of 70,000 to 80,000 made them gasp.
Gu Liang
"Ahem, if this movie explodes and is released all over Hong Kong, wouldn't it only take a matter of minutes for the box office to exceed one million?!"
When Liu Jianxiong heard what Zou Wenhuai said, he didn't want to admit it, but he had to nod and said: "Then it must be able to explode! I'm afraid that the premiere will be earth-shattering and the quality of the movie is too poor. Don't say it will explode when the time comes. It won't work."
If it’s good, it will go bankrupt directly!”
"Mr. Shi is always careful and meticulous in his work. He never does anything that he is not sure about!"
"Brother Wenhuai, he is no longer our boss. You no longer need to address him with such respect. Just call him Shi Zhijian!" Liu Jianxiong was very dissatisfied with Zou Wenhuai's respectful attitude towards Shi Zhijian.
"You're used to it, you can't change it!"
"In short, you and I are on the same boat now, and we have to distinguish between friends and foes when doing things! Also, you and I are here to learn tonight. Then we can apply what we have learned and use Shi Zhijian's moves to defeat him! Let's make our Jiahe movie even better
One floor!”
"You are right, we are here to learn!"
…
While the two were talking, the lights in the entire cinema suddenly dimmed, and then a beam of light hit the center of the stage.
Slowly, people adapted to the light in front of them, and then realized that the stage had changed scene at some point——
A group of men wearing white karate uniforms are practicing boxing on the stage "Huhuhahaha"!
Hong Jinbao was wearing a training suit, with Rendanhu stuck on his mouth, and punched the sandbag away!
Cheng Long split a brick with one hand, and with a haha sound, the brick split into two halves!
Yuan Hua flew up and kicked his legs, knocking Yuan Biao's wooden plank away with a bang!
There was also Lin Zhengying doing somersaults and fighting with Wu Ma on the stage!
Not to mention the audience, even the masters of the White Crane Sect and the Bagua Sect couldn't help but praise when they saw the scene in front of them: "Real Kungfu!"
Just when everyone was stunned by the real skills of this group of people on the stage, an exciting drum beat suddenly played.
Under the guidance of the stage lights, Bruce Lee, dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, appeared at the door of the martial arts gym with a plaque on his shoulders!
Bang!
Plaque station!
There are four words written on it: "Sick Man of East Asia!"
"Chen Zhen, why are you here?" Hong Jinbao asked with his hands on his hips.
"I'm here to avenge my master Huo Yuanjia!"
"Xinxi! It turns out you are seeking death!" Hong Jinbao laughed wildly, "Then I will let you go to hell to accompany your master!"
Just as Hong Jinbao was about to step forward, Bruce Lee suddenly stretched out a finger and shook it.
"What, are you scared?"
"No!" Bruce Lee circled his fingers and pointed at Cheng Long, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying and others, "I want to fight ten of them!"
Only then did the audience wake up!
So this is one against ten?
What are you doing? What about acting in a drama?
The martial arts masters at the scene even sneered, "Is this a live martial arts competition? What a liar!"
"You want one to fight ten? Hahaha!"
The whole room burst into laughter!
The audience at the scene had a strong sense of empathy and they all laughed, especially the experts who were even thinner and looked down upon with extreme contempt!
Without saying a word, Bruce Lee suddenly threw the plaque up and let out a loud roar! He raised his legs and kicked the plaque into two pieces with a snap!
Move too fast!
And his amazing roar!
The audience was shocked.
When everyone woke up, they found that Bruce Lee was already fighting with Hong Jinbao and others on the stage!
One person challenges ten people!
Flying into the sky!
Chain legs!
Bang bang bang!
Too fast!
"What did I see?" Zhao Zhijing, the leader of the White Crane Sect, rubbed his eyes vigorously.
Wing Chun's inch blows were aimed at Hong Jin Po, fearing that there would be a slap, and Hong Jin Po was pressed to the ground with more than ten punches per second!
"How is that possible?" Huo Qingjun, the leader of the Bagua Sect, stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the speed of Bruce Lee's punches.
Those reporters were shooting wildly at the stage, but found that their shooting speed could not keep up with Bruce Lee's speed!
In fact, Bruce Lee from another time and space gave many directors a headache because he punched too fast!
At that time, filming was mostly done with 24 frames per second cameras. Because Bruce Lee appeared, he had to switch to 32 frames per second. Only in this way could his punching movements be captured.
"Ah!" Bruce Lee knocked down the last opponent with his last punch!
"Bodies everywhere" on the stage!
Hong Jinbao and others were wailing!
They are not acting at this moment, but it is really painful!
Although Bruce Lee was very restrained when exerting force, he still used a little bit of force for the stage effect. Even this little force was too much for Hong Jinbao and others!
Finish beating these Japanese ghosts!
Bruce Lee stretched out his hand and ripped off his tunic, revealing his amazing muscles, especially his arms and shoulders, which shocked everyone!
The women covered their mouths one after another, their eyes shining!
The men were all dumbfounded, looking at this peerless hunk in front of them!
Those martial arts masters looked at Bruce Lee's muscles on the stage, compared them with their own, and then their mood of wanting to go on stage to learn a lesson suddenly disappeared!
Boxing fast is a soft condition!
Strong muscles and strong explosive power are hard conditions!
How can I fight when someone is so strong both softly and hardy?
The leader of the White Crane Sect and the leader of the Bagua Sect looked at each other and got scared!
Just when the whole place was silent——
A voice said: "The scene just now is a highlight of our next drama "Fist of Fury" in New Art City! Next, we invite the famous Hong Kong male singer Mr. Luo Wen to sing and write the lyrics of the theme song "Descendants of the Dragon" from "Fist of Fury"
Composer - Shi Zhijian!"
The scene exploded!
At this moment, everyone knew that the gift Shi Zhijian wanted to give everyone was actually a song!
Shao Daheng, Liu Jianxiong, and many movie tycoons also realized that Shi Zhijian never regarded them as opponents from the beginning!
Just when they thought Shi Zhijian was promoting this drama, they had already started advertising for the next drama!
