The movie slowly unfolds the story amid such expectations.
The first half of the story is almost all about tolerance. The male pig foot played by Bruce Lee endures everything, which is brewing a wave of hostility and blocking the hearts of the audience!
Slowly, as the villain's actions became more and more outrageous, Bruce Lee finally reached the point where he couldn't bear it anymore!
Bruce Lee finally takes action on the screen!
The fierce kicking skills made the audience hooked!
At the same time, the anger that was stuck in the chest became more and more exciting with Bruce Lee's sharp whistle during the fight!
“It’s so cool!”
"The bad guy deserves to be beaten to death like this!"
When Shi Zhijian listened to these faintly cheerful sounds, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Hong Kong movies have always followed the traditional route. Shi Zhijian also didn't understand why Bruce Lee's first film "Brother Tangshan" became a hit in Hong Kong. Only now does he understand that it is "first suppress and then promote"!
No matter how hard you suppressed it before, it will be so exciting when it comes out later! Coupled with Bruce Lee's domineering "ah" sound, it creates an unparalleled sense of joy!
Shao Daheng and others finally saw some clues at this moment.
In particular, Shao Daheng felt very familiar with this trick. He immediately thought of Shaw Brothers' "The Drunken Man", which was a box office hit. It also followed this "first suppress and then increase" route. The only difference was Bruce Lee's unique nickname.
His voice, and his sharp kicks!
In a word, no matter how great "The Drunken Man" is, it's all just actors' tricks, but here it's real kung fu!
Especially when filming martial arts scenes, Bruce Lee specifically asked the director to do many close-ups of difficult actions, such as his flying kicks in the air during the final battle, three consecutive kicks, etc., which made the audience excited to watch!
While watching, I couldn't help but put myself into it, feeling that I knew these skills, and every move was so real!
"Shi Zhijian really has a vision!" Shao Daheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, "This Bruce Lee might become our Shaw Brothers' strong enemy in the future!"
Fang Yihua rarely heard Shao Daheng say such discouraging words, and couldn't help but said: "Shi Zhijian is just gambling! The result of winning or losing has not yet been determined!"
"No results?" Shao Daheng glanced at the reactions of the surrounding audience, and saw that the audience was all focused on the screen. Some were fisting their fists, and some were sweating on their foreheads. They looked more nervous than the protagonist.
"The results have come out! Alas!" Shao Daheng sighed.
…
When Bruce Lee finally used his real kung fu to defeat the big boss, the audience burst into thunderous applause!
"Yeah!"
"marvelous!"
Many male audience members even stood up and applauded wildly! It was as if they and Bruce Lee were in the same group and had won a huge victory!
Seeing that the movie was about to end, Lei Juekun, the Kowloon bus boss who co-invested in New Arts City, was sitting with Shi Zhijian and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the premiere of this drama, he has been holding his heart in his throat. In order to show his calmness, he sat calmly and did not say hello to others, appearing very low-key.
To be honest, Lei Juekun is also betting this time!
Ever since Shi Zhijian approached him to co-found New Art City, Lei Juekun had no confidence. He knew that Shi Zhijian found him because he owned the Kowloon Cinema Chain, which would be the future Golden Princess Cinema Chain.
But Lei Juekun really didn't have confidence in starting a new film company, nor did he have confidence in Bruce Lee who had returned from Hollywood. He even felt that Bruce Lee was vaguely "arrogant" when he first came into contact with him.
According to Lei Juekun's wishes, instead of establishing a new art city, Shi Zhijian should seize Jiahe again and kick Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai away directly.
But Shi Zhijian didn't do this, and Lei Juekun was puzzled. He felt that Shi Zhijian was "kind-hearted and soft-hearted", but he didn't know that Shi Zhijian was planning a big plan.
If according to Lei Juekun's wishes, Shi Zhijian can easily snatch Jiahe, then what will be the result? The Hong Kong film industry is still dominated by Shaw Brothers and Jiahe!
The reason why there are so many talented people in the Three Kingdoms War is because the Three Kingdoms stand together, giving more choices to those advisors, generals and other talents!
The same is true for the Hong Kong film industry now. Instead of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest competing for hegemony, it is better to have the Three Kingdoms stand side by side to attract more talents to join different camps. Only in this way can the true "Hundred Flowers Bloom" of Hong Kong films be achieved!
And this is Shi Zhijian's purpose.
Lei Juekun didn't know this. He only knew that since Shi Zhijian had found him, he had to take a gamble! In addition to his extraordinary relationship with Shi Zhijian, there was also Shi Zhijian's terrifying identity! Member of the Legislative Council, this is not
It's easy to offend!
Now after watching the movie screening, Lei Juekun felt his heart drop to the ground, feeling that he seemed to have made the right bet!
Such a low-cost movie was shot with such distinctive features by Bruce Lee! Judging from the audience's reaction, they were not only enthusiastic, but also left unfulfilled, which is a good sign!
"Ajian, I admire you! You really have a sharp eye for heroes!" Lei Juekun couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Shi Zhijian, "This Bruce Lee is a talent!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "It's not that I have good vision, it's that Boss Lei is lucky and dares to bet on him!"
Lei Juekun pouted: "To be honest, don't laugh! In fact, I invested in Xinyi City not because I liked him, but because I liked you! Besides, you are now a member of the Legislative Council, and I don't dare to offend you easily!"
Lei Juekun's words were half true and half false, but made Shi Zhijian burst into laughter: "I'm not that scary, am I?"
"What do you think? You don't even know how powerful you are now!"
"Really?" Shi Zhijian pinched his chin, as if he had thought of this question for the first time. He vaguely felt that many people looked at him differently now. Take Chen Huimin and Dasha for example. These two people are so serious and reserved now.
, I used to like to laugh and laugh in front of him most, or smoke or talk, but now I am more honest than a little girl.
"Pa bang bang..."
Just when Shi Zhijian was thinking wildly, warm applause erupted in the screening hall. The staff list was displayed on the big screen, but "Brother Tangshan" had already finished playing.
"Mr. Shi, congratulations on the success of Xinyi City!"
"Mr. Shi, congratulations on the success of the new film!"
"Mr. Shi, congratulations!"
The distinguished guests stood up and congratulated Shi Zhijian.
On the other hand, no one cares about the male pig-footed Bruce Lee over there!
Although he is the protagonist of this drama, Shi Zhijian steals the limelight from him!
Fortunately, those media reporters who had no chance to interview Shi Zhijian were more interested in him and greeted him one after another: "Li Sheng, what are your expectations for this drama?"
"Li Sheng, how long have you been practicing Kung Fu?"
Seeing Shi Zhijian and Bruce Lee enjoying themselves, Shao Daheng stood up with a long sigh and left the theater accompanied by Fang Yihua.
Over there, Liu Jianxiong and Zou Wenhuai also quietly left in envy, jealousy and hatred.
Dai Fengni and Li Xuexuan took one last look at Shi Zhijian, who was surrounded by distinguished guests to congratulate him, and left with different expressions.
…
Inside the Hong Kong Oriental Daily newspaper office.
President Lu Yawen and Vice President Ni Ji are waiting in front of the phone, waiting for news.
"Yawn! The movie should be over, right? It's so boring. I can't go to the premiere. I can only wait for the news with you here!" Ni Jiang yawned in boredom.
Not far away, his sister Ni Shu was still immersed in writing editorials. Ni Jiji said again: "Little sister, don't be so diligent. President Lu didn't say he would add more labor to you!"
Ni Shu looked up at her brother and sneered at his "sowing discord".
Who doesn't know that the salary here is three times that of "Ming Pao", and only a greedy guy like Ni Jiang will constantly ask for "more labor". Now as a boss, he has already "no more labor" in terms of labor, and wants to
The only way to get more salary is to rebel.
But Ni Jiang maintains that he belongs to the type of "loving women and cherishing jade", and President Lu Yawen is a beautiful woman, so he is even less willing to rebel against her!
"Ahem, don't ignore me. I'm talking to you. Can you give me your reaction first?" Ni Jiang saw that he had complained, and all he got was a blank look from his sister, and Lu Yawen's indifference.
I couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.
"Now, looking at your stoic looks, I know that you are not interested in the topic I just mentioned, so I will change the topic that you are interested in - I know a lot of secrets about Handsome Jian, do you want to hear it?
"
Handsome guy is Shi Zhijian.
The two girls pretended to continue busy, but their ears perked up.
Ni Jiang saw clearly and despised the two girls for pretending to be innocent.
"As you know, pretty boy Jian and I are good friends. We even drank together and took...baths together! Ahem! So I know a lot of his secrets. Is there anything you want to know? Don't be shy, I can tell you.
Yours!"
"Who wants to ask about this! Hurry up and get to work!" Lu Yawen scolded.
"Yes! If you are free, write an editorial for me. Besides, what secrets does Mr. Shi have? Are you lying?" Ni Shu glared at his brother.
"Tch, you're still trying to provoke me?" Ni Jiang was about to break the news when the phone rang.
The reporter sent by the newspaper called and reported to Lu Yawen and the others: "President Lu, the atmosphere at the premiere is very lively. This drama in New Art City may explode! I will fax you some pictures of the scene now!
It will definitely be on the front page tomorrow!”
Lu Yawen asked a few more specific questions before hanging up the phone, then looked at Ni Jiang and Ni Shu and said, "Now, we are very busy!"
Ni Jiang gears up: "I knew it! I knew this drama would be a hit! Also, I am the screenwriter of Xinyi City's next film "Fist of Fury"! You just have to watch it, my name is Ni Jiji."
To appear on the big screen!”
No wonder Ni Jiam is so happy, because the fight scene in "Fist of Fury" before tonight's premiere was written and directed by Shi Zhijian. Ni Jiang lived up to expectations and finally did it, and now it looks like the effect is great!
In addition, Shi Zhijian also asked Ni Ji to write the script for "Fist of Fury", which also gave Ni Ji a place to display his talents!
In the last time and space, in fact, the drama elements of "Fist of Fury" and Chen Zhen were all created by Ni Jiji. Shi Zhijian is now just "returned to the original owner." How did Ni Jiji know this? He thought he had met Bole and met Bole.
Shi Zhijian is such a confidant! I can’t wait to express my heartfelt thanks to Shi Zhijian!
Just as Ni Ji was gearing up to write the script for "Fist of Fury" and Lu Yawen and Ni Shu were writing film reviews for "Brother Tangshan", Shi Zhijian was making plans for the next release of this drama!
To be precise, it is "hunger marketing"!
…
According to the traditional operation of this era, after the test screening, the film will be scheduled according to the results of the test screening and released in Hong Kong. However, the film "Tangshan Brother" did not, but the full release date was changed to three days later!
Shi Zhijian believes that the topic of this drama will be enough to arouse the audience's appetite within three days! What's more, there are also entertainment media who will add fuel to the fire.
Facts have proved that Shi Zhijian's guess was correct.
"The premiere was a grand event, with all the stars gathered together! It was so exciting!"
"Bruce Lee's real kung fu kicks the 'Sick Man of East Asia'! The Seven Little Fortunes take turns performing shocking performances!"
"Shi Zhijian's song "Descendants of the Dragon" made people burst into tears! Luo Wen started singing domineeringly, shouting that we are all descendants of the dragon!"
In addition to the "Oriental Daily" controlled by Shinhwa Group, which began to exaggerate the premiere and carried out repeated reports, other media in Hong Kong could not sit still, such as "Ming Pao", "Sing Tao Daily", and even Gui Lao's "
The Tiger Daily began to publish the grand premiere of the drama "Tangshan Brother".
Even the reporters who racked their brains to sneak into the premiere venue vividly described how grand, shocking, and touching the entire premiere was!
Those reporters who did not have the opportunity to enter directly began to make up for this situation, combining the reports of "Oriental Daily" with those of other reporters, tinkering, adding fuel and jealousy, and finally concocting their own "amazing masterpiece."
, in a word, the premiere was great!
Of course, in addition to these praising voices, there are also some bad voices.
For example, "Southern Weekly" controlled by Shaw Brothers published a large front-page headline: "Shoddy kung fu movie, punching, kicking and monkey show!"
The author of the article directly pointed the finger at the fact that this drama is low-cost, and both the scenes and the storyline are very thin. The most important thing is that he believes that Bruce Lee's constant roar during the fight is "grandstanding"!
In his words: "When fighting, you keep making harsh screams. Is this to boost morale, or is it just grandstanding and relying on grotesque tricks to please the audience?"
In addition to Shaw Brothers' "Southern Weekly", Hong Kong's largest gossip magazine "Entertainment Times" also criticized the drama.
This time, the target person they targeted was Shi Zhijian. Of course, because of Shi Zhijian's special status, they would never dare to call him by his name in the newspaper, but just called him a "big shot"!
"Today's film industry is in decline and morals are in decline! In order to please a certain big shot, countless celebrities and gentlemen kneel down collectively! A certain low-cost movie is actually praised as a super blockbuster! Only after watching it do you know how outrageous the praise is. Facts have proved that this is a movie
