"The four biggest forces in the Hong Kong film industry, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, New Arts City, and Left Wing, just happened to release their own works in the summer season, and they started a fierce fight.

"Tai Chi 2" premiered yesterday, and all four movies were featured.

The drama of "Tai Chi 2" is not inferior to that of its predecessor, and the design of the cloth stick is even better. The shape of the red light is magical and glamorous, and it has a cult temperament. The most rare thing is that it is combined with the historical background and the protagonist is embedded in it.

Hong Kong films have always had little sense of family and country, and are rather stingy in their structure. The "Tai Chi" series has broken new ground, with lofty aspirations and intense ambitions. The four films are undoubtedly the first."

"The overseas copyright of "Tai Chi 2" sold for 5.92 million U.S. dollars, Japan exclusively owned 2 million U.S. dollars, and South Korea broke a record of 600,000 U.S. dollars, which shows the love of East Asian audiences for Li Lianlian... After three movies, this man from mainland China

The martial arts champion has demonstrated strong box office appeal!"

"Stereotyped and preachy! Full of the strong political undertones typical of mainland movies!"

"The level of martial arts is child's play, the logic is nonsense, and it's not worth mentioning!"

"Cheng Long helped out in "Tai Chi 2" and ran away after being exposed!"

After it was released, various media outlets began to report on it. The left praised it, the centrists looked at the situation, and the right criticized it. But nothing stopped the audience from flooding into the theater. It has a large number of fixed audience groups:

Mandarin, middle-aged and elderly, mainland immigrants!

How many purely local talents are there in Hong Kong? Most of them are immigrants. Even if some of them abandon Mandarin, the number of the remaining ones is still considerable.

Back then, the "Shaolin" series attracted 700,000 viewers into the theater, while the "Tai Chi" series only attracted a lot more.

…

"Li Lianjie!"

"Li Lianjie!"

Another theater road show.

The enthusiastic audience chanted, and Li Lianlian was fascinated by it. However, when the event was over, he had to wave and reluctantly walked away quickly to avoid causing a stampede accident.

Zhen Zidan was even worse, his mouth never closed. Although he was just a side dish, he still felt like he had become a big star.

"Go, go, go!"

Chen Qi accompanied them all the time and told the two of them to leave the scene quickly, then got into the car and ran away.

"Brother Qi, the activity time is too short, can't it be longer?" Li Lianjie sighed.

"The longer one is called a fan meeting and will be held for you later. Now it's a road show. You follow the arrangements."

"oh!"

Li Lianjie curled his lips, paused, and then said: "Brother Qi, I remember that the first part was released during the Spring Festival last year. The second part was released more than a year ago. Is it too long?"

"I can't help it. Filmmaking in mainland China is slow, which is already good. But with Tsui Hark taking over the third film, the speed should be faster."

"Yeah, Director Xu shoots very quickly!"

"When you make Hong Kong films in the future, your efficiency will be improved. Two or three films a year will be no problem."

The two of them were chatting, and Zhen Zidan was embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

He had an unpleasant quarrel with Chen Qi before, but he was not a fool after all. He knew he could not offend, so he still said: "Mr. Chen, thank you for choosing me. I hope you can give me another chance in the future!"

"Well, how about you follow Master Yuan now?"

"Master's company doesn't do many movies, but he will recommend me to other crews."

Chen Qi nodded and said nothing.

Zhen Zidan, if there is a suitable role for him, he will be used, if not, he will be removed. He does not want to get close to him. He wants to bring development to the mainland brothers Ji Chunhua, Xiong Xinxin, and Sun Jiankui.

"Sir, it's half past six!"

In a mansion thousands of feet tall, an elderly maid who was combing her hair shouted.

It is a custom in the Pearl River Delta region for women to comb their hair by themselves. Most unmarried women wear their hair in braids and change it into a bun after marriage. Some women, for various reasons, say they will never marry, so they comb their hair into a bun.

She was wearing a blue cloth gown, black cloth trousers, and black cloth shoes, and her whole body exuded the flavor of the Republic of China.

"knew!"

With a response, Qiu Degen walked out of the study and into the living room. The TV had been turned on and Li's "News Tonight" was playing.

"News Tonight" is the flagship program with the highest ratings. As long as he has time, he will usually watch it.

"The British government has made it clear that Prime Minister Thatcher will visit China in September to hold talks on the Hong Kong issue... Britain has just won the Falklands War, and Thatcher has gained unprecedented popularity and support. This time she comes to China...

…”

The beginning is a big event!

The most concerning issue in Hong Kong.

Qiu Degen drank a cup of tea and snorted: "Hong Kong is not the Falklands, and the mainland is not Argentina!"

Then came the local news in Hong Kong. There were few policy-related things. They were all about people's livelihood and even nonsense. Especially when criminal cases were breaking out, people loved to see this.

After reporting a few reports, an entertainment news suddenly came.

"A little farce happened at the premiere of "Tai Chi 2" the day before yesterday. A foreign audience suddenly jumped on the stage, hugged Li Lianjie and kissed her fiercely. Li Lianjie's beauty turned pale... Afterwards, the foreign audience and Li Lianjie were on stage.

The security guard played hide and seek until he was carried away, which caused laughter at the scene.

Our reporter interviewed this audience member outside the theater..."

As soon as the screen turned, Marino's big face appeared on the TV, speaking English, with subtitles underneath: "I'm an American, I came to Hong Kong, and my friend invited me to watch the movie... Yes, I like kung fu movies very much!"

"I am a crazy Bruce Lee fan. I have watched every one of his works. But my favorite now is Li Lianjie. I also have the video tape of "Tai Chi" in my collection. He is really great!"

"What do you think?" the reporter asked.

"It's a great movie-watching experience. I couldn't understand the lines, but the kung fu was so beautiful. To be honest, I've seen some Hong Kong movies and I thought they were terrible. I'm not interested at all. I just like kung fu!"

"You said Hong Kong movies are terrible. Which ones have you seen specifically?"

"Just yesterday, this guy invited me to watch another movie. I don't remember the name at all..."

At this point, a voice floated from outside the screen. It was probably his friend from Hong Kong. He also spoke English and thoughtfully provided subtitles: "Brothers in Trouble, we are watching "Brothers in Trouble"!"

"Oh, that's what it's called!"

Marino's big face suddenly came up and seemed to occupy the entire shot: "I advise everyone not to watch it, it's boring, it's too boring!"

"cough!"

"Cough cough cough!"

Qiu Degen choked on his tea, coughed repeatedly, and looked at the foreigner suspiciously.

With his many years of business experience, he couldn't tell for a moment whether this special girl was real or fake? Let's be honest, it's a little fake, let's be honest, it's a little bit real...

This is called self-media!

Everyone in the future generation is a self-media. They don’t have to write articles or do programs. They can just post a short video. Their characteristic is that they interview themselves and even have fixed sentence patterns:

"At that time... I thought it was very interesting... so I took the photo casually... I didn't expect..."

Who asked you? Who asked you?

"..."

Qiu Degen was puzzled, so he simply picked up the phone and called Director Li Zhuanglie.

(Finish and call it a day!)
Chapter completed!
