Chapter 32 is really a hit
“Shaolin Kung Fu, shocking Hong Kong!”
The next day, dozens of media in Hong Kong used this title in unison.
The media was full of praise for the movie "Shaolin Temple", and Jin Yong even wrote an editorial himself to recommend it.
He praised "Shaolin Temple" for bringing kung fu movies to a new level, and said that the theme of "the desire to kill can be stopped, but the desire to support justice cannot be stopped" expressed in the movie is the true spirit of chivalry.
It’s understandable that Jin Yong wrote an editorial and boasted, after all, he is Xia Meng’s number one licker. Moreover, Yang Ye is also serializing novels in "Ming Pao". The greater Yang Ye's fame, the more beneficial it is to him.
The talented Hong Kong girl Lin Yanni wrote a long film review for "Shaolin Temple", which attracted even more attention.
Compared to others who are surprised by the shocking kung fu fights in the movie, Lin Yanni’s writing focuses on the young love between Jue Yuan and the Shepherdess in the movie.
She said that what moved her most in the movie was the heart-shaped jade pendant hidden in the palm of Jue Yuan's hands when he was officially ordained as a monk.
All the viewers who watched the premiere were bragging crazily to their relatives and friends after going back.
In a certain middle school, Wen Jun was holding a bunch of fish eggs and frothing at the mouth: "Young Master Yang is absolutely good at Qinggong. He jumped at least three meters high and killed Bruce Lee in an instant."
Another little fat guy. Dissatisfied, he glared and said: "Are you bragging? You killed Bruce Lee in an instant? Have you seen Li Sanjiao?"
Wen Juan swallowed a fish ball and said disdainfully: "Li Sanjiao is indeed very powerful, but compared to Compared with Liu Jialiang, it’s almost boring. Liu Jialiang’s three kicks can definitely kill Bruce Lee. I think he can also do Qinggong.” Is Bruce Lee famous?”
“If you don’t believe it, let’s go to Ax Mountain Road after school to broaden our horizons.”
"You're still waiting for school to end? Isn't there just one class? Go now if you have the guts!"
"Just go and skip class. I'll shut you up in a minute."
>A few students slipped out of the school on bicycles and happily ran to the audition room of Jiahe Studio.
Then everyone was disappointed. "Shaolin Temple" was not played in Jiahe's test room at all.
When they asked the staff, they were told: "'Shaolin Temple' has already had its premiere and there will be no previews. It will be officially released on January 1st, New Year's Day. Remember to take your family to the theater to watch it!"< br>
A group of people came back disappointed, looking forward to "Shaolin Temple" even more.
......
Due to numerous publicity reports by dozens of media, "Shaolin Temple" which has not yet been released has become a hot topic in the city.
Many people want to know how good this movie is, why is it so praised?
However, on Christmas Day, five days before the release of "Shaolin Temple", a "Shaolin Temple" was released in Shaw Brothers Cinemas.
After receiving the news, Yang Ye was confused: Did this shit really happen to me? Shaw Brothers are too shameless!
Xia Meng sighed and said: "This is the usual practice of Shaw Brothers. When Shaw Brothers and D&M faced each other in the past, they used to undermine each other like this. If I know what you are filming, I will make a similar film. It will be released in advance.”
Yang Ye couldn’t laugh or cry: “We will release it on New Year’s Day, and Shaw Brothers will release it on Christmas Day, and he is very good at riding horses.”
“Who said it’s not the case?” Said Chen Yuanlong, who was informed of the news by the company.
Yang Ye asked: "Who filmed their "Shaolin Temple" and who is the leading actor?"
Chen Yuanlong said: "That's amazing. The director is Zhang Che, the screenwriter is Ni Kuang, and the starring roles are Fu Sheng, Ti Lung, Jiang David, Meng Fei, and Qi Guanjun."
"Holy shit, all the elites are here, this lineup is awesome. ! ”
Chang Cheh is the most representative director of martial arts movies. Fu Sheng, Ti Lung and David Chiang are all the leading niche students of Shaw Brothers, and they are also very famous in later generations.
Meng Fei's most famous film is probably the 1991 version of "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", in which he also played Yang Guo.
As for Qi Guanjun, he is very good at the Hong Family Iron Fist. Zhou Xingxing once invited him to star in "Kung Fu", but unfortunately he encountered SARS and he was quarantined. Zhou Xingxing could only change people.
Seeing Yang Ye's indifferent expression, Xia Meng couldn't help but roll her eyes: "How can you still laugh?"
This was the first time that Yang Ye saw Beauty Xia roll her eyes. She usually rolled her eyes. It's very dignified and intellectual, and I can't help but find it very interesting.
Yang Yedao: "Judging from this lineup, if I guessed correctly, it should be the story of the Five Patriarchs of Shaolin, right?"
The Five Patriarchs of Shaolin is a folk legend, telling the story of the Qing Dynasty The imperial fire burned Shaolin in Songshan, Henan, and only five people, Hu Dedi, Li Shikai, Ma Chaoxing, Fang Dahong, and Cai Dezhong, escaped. They fled to the Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian, and together with the Tiandihui, they fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. Later, Wang Jing also filmed this story, called "The Five New Shaolin Ancestors", starring Jet Li and Xie Miao.
Chen Yuanlong nodded and said: "Yes, that's the story from the introduction."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "What's there to be afraid of? They are not talking about the same thing." Xia Meng sighed: "The main reason is that their lineup is too strong. They are an all-star lineup and we are all novices. They are also Released in advance, this has a big impact."
"Okay, Sister Meng, you have to have confidence in our movie. They can laugh for five days at most, and after five days we will beat them to the limit. The ground is looking for teeth, don’t you think so, Aaron?”
“Of course!”
……
Shaw Brothers renamed "The Five Shaolin Patriarchs" as "Shaolin Temple" and shamelessly rode on the popularity. The box office exploded, with sales exceeding HK$1 million in just five days.
People lamented that Jiang is still more spicy than old, and Shao Laoliu's skills are really good.
Both took advantage of Yang Ye's crazy promotion to fish in troubled waters and promote his own movie.
They also used a super lineup to crush Yang Ye’s rookie lineup.
Now there are many voices in the market questioning Yang Ye’s previous publicity campaign, thinking that it is all bragging.
How could Yang Ye, a rookie director with a group of useless Seven Little Fortunes, be able to outdo Zhang Che's superstar cast?
Shao Run Run was very satisfied with the box office of "Shaolin Temple" and said with a smile: "Chang Cheh is still great. The local box office of this movie should not be less than 2 million."
Fang Yihua laughed. : "Of course, we have an all-star cast, how can it be compared to that guy Yang Ye's bad cast? In his "Shaolin Temple", the only famous one is Wang Yu, and I heard he is still a supporting actor. Wang Yu used to When I was playing the leading role in Shaw Brothers, now I am reduced to carrying shoes for a young boy. It’s really funny.” More than a hundred contracts were walked away, causing Shaw Brothers to suffer heavy losses. Seeing him in such a state of desolation now, I feel very relieved.
Unfortunately, the two were not happy for long.
One day later, the box office news of Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" was calculated, and the whole of Hong Kong was shocked!
Single-day box office...five hundred thousand!
“Hahaha! It’s not in vain for me to book the venue!” Zhao Yangming laughed heartily while reading the news in the newspaper.
In order to celebrate his daughter becoming the heroine in her first movie, Zhao Yangming called on his friends and went directly to the theater to book a show, and also asked the theater... not to discount!
In fact, he couldn't get a discount even if he wanted to. The theater didn't have to worry about selling. The tickets had already been snatched up by hungry audiences before the movie started.
As Yang Ye said, "Shaolin Temple" has grabbed people's attention even before it started filming. It has been promoted continuously for nearly a year, and various materials have been released in newspapers from time to time, pushing people's expectations to the limit, making many people wait for it. Find out.
Coupled with the sensation caused by the premiere and the generous praise from cultural celebrities such as Jin Yong and Lin Yanni, the reputation of "Shaolin Temple" has been fermented to the extreme, whetting everyone's appetite.
Even if Run Run Shaw plays a trick in the middle, it will not affect the overall situation, and we will still watch what needs to be seen.
"Daddy, I don't think I've seen enough. Let's arrange another show to support the fourth sister!" Zhao Yazhen shook her father's arm and acted coquettishly.
Zhao Yangming said: "Good girl, I can't do it now even if I want to."
"Why? You can't bear to spend money, right?"
Zhao Yangming said: "I support the fourth child, how can I be reluctant to spend money? But do you know what the single-day box office of "Shaolin Temple" is 500,000?"< br>
“What is the concept?”
“According to the analysis in the newspaper, Jiahe has 24 theaters. To reach this box office, the attendance rate throughout the day must reach more than 99%, which is close to full capacity. In other words , the single-day box office of "Shaolin Temple" is 500,000, because Jiahe can only sell so many tickets, if it is not limited by the size of the theater, "Shaolin Temple" can also sell higher box office. I have seen the single-day box office of Shaolin Temple within three days. The box office will remain above 400,000. If you want to book the venue, it will take at least a week." Zhao's mother couldn't help but gasped: "This Yang Ye is so powerful?"
Zhao Yangming sighed: "Yes, I heard that he is only 21 years old, as old as our fourth child. He is really a formidable young man."
Mother Zhao said with a smile: "We Zhizhi are so lucky, he actually starred in the movie Such a movie. Zhenzhen, tell me honestly, how did Zhizhi and Yang Ye know each other?”
Zhao Yazhen hurriedly lowered her head to eat the buns and said vaguely: “How do I know?” "Sister."
Mother Zhao saw that her youngest daughter looked strange and wanted to ask again, but Zhao Yangming said, "Where is the fourth child?"
"Go." It’s the film company. It seems that “Silver World” wants to interview her.”
"Silver World? Go call your eldest brother, second sister, and third sister, and ask each of them to book at least one game and fully support the fourth child!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Yazhen She threw down the newspaper and ran to make a phone call. What Mother Zhao wanted to ask didn't come out.
