Chapter 140: The Bright Seven Little Blessings (Third Update!)
"Ghost Fight" is still an experimental ghost movie after all, immature in many ways, even if it has Yin Jun's modifications to fill in, but the essential weaknesses are still obvious. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Therefore, on the morning of Wednesday the 20th, after the week's box office statistics came out, its result was "only" 2.69 million Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, this week's results are already very good, and in this year's box office list, it temporarily ranks seventh, second only to Cheng Long's famous work - "Serpentine Trickster" with 2.7 million.
But as long as everyone knows that the score of "Ghost Fight" will definitely exceed 5 million, and more are possible.
Such a result is second only to the more than 10 million "Seven Days of Wrong Love" and the more than 8 million "Selling Deed", if there is no more shocking new film released, it is possible to rank in the top three.
But whether it is Hung Jinbao or Golden Harvest itself, they are very satisfied with this achievement.
It is said that just this weekend, "Ghost Fighting" will be released in Nanyang Waibu, and the next step is directly Japan and South Korea.
Hong Jinbao didn't know Yin Jun, but he also knew that the script of "Ghost Fight" was written by Yin Jun, so he passed the word through Zhong Fa and had to invite Yin Jun to dinner.
Yin Jun knows Hong Jinbao very well, this person will be called "Big Brother" by the Xiangjiang film industry in the future, although after the 90s, his skills are no longer and his elegance is no longer there, but he is still a well-known brand in the Xiangjiang film industry.
Even in the years when he was silent in Chinese films, Cheng Long's action director for entering Hollywood was still him, and only the control of this senior brother could reassure Cheng Long.
Then he also served as the same martial arts instructor in several kung fu police and gangster TV series in Hollywood, which was the first in the world before Yuan Kui and others went to Hollywood.
After 2000, after mainland movies continued to be popular, Hung Jinbao, who was in his fifties, actually made persistent efforts and made several movies such as "Slaying the Wolf" in one go, among which the final duel with Retort Zidan in "Slaying the Wolf" can be called the most classic martial arts scene in those years, which is much more exciting and thrilling than the fight in Retort Zidan's "Ip Man" later...... Oh, the action design of several scenes in "Ip Man" was also done by Hung Jinbao.
It can be said that this one should be second only to Cheng Long and Li Lianjie martial arts superstar, and in terms of action design and guidance, he is even higher than Cheng Long, and should be second only to Li Xiaolong back then.
It's just that Hong Jinbao's many bad problems have brought him a lot of trouble and blocked a lot of opportunities, so that he didn't become a superstar comparable to Cheng Long in the end - don't say that Hong Jinbao's image is not good, people call it distinctive, have you ever seen such a flexible dead fat man?
Ordinary people are friends, and then cooperate seriously and deeply in the movie, this is a kind of positioning of Yin Jun for the future relationship between himself and Hong Jinbao.
For the overall development of Xiangjiang films, and even Chinese films, talent must be indispensable.
He Hung Jinbao is an excellent talent, when he is young, he can act in movies, plan action scenes, and when he is older, he can bring a large number of apprentices out and continue to carry forward the essence of Chinese action movies.
To be honest, as long as you have watched the fight scenes of Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zheng Zidan, you will think that foreign action movies are shit!
Over and over again, you hit me a few times, I hit you a few times, and the protagonist is knocked down by the bad guys, and then he gets up and knocks down the bad guys again...... In the end, the protagonist won the victory with bruises, and then a beautiful woman rushed over to throw herself into her arms...... What a happy ending!
Our action movies include Li Lianjie's chic and elegant, Retort Zidan's simple nature, Cheng Long's witty and desperate, and Hong Jinbao's tragic atmosphere...... These action movies that integrate Chinese culture are all things that foreigners don't want to learn in their lifetime.
In the future, these action movies will decline, not that such Chinese fights are outdated, but that the storyline carried by them is too nonsense, and there is no plot at all, and it is chaotic - by the way! It is exactly the same as the movies of Xiangjiang after 93!
If it weren't for the fact that China's film market is huge enough, and Hollywood movies are also rotten in terms of story structure, in fact, domestic films would have been extinguished by Hollywood's special effects blockbusters.
In fact, after 2016, everyone has been aesthetically tired of Hollywood's blockbusters that only rely on computer special effects and have confusing plots.
It's a pity that Huaguo movies are still not competitive, they are still comparing who is worse than whom, and they don't take it seriously at all, most of them are consuming the fan base, so in 2016, the overall box office of Huaguo has declined.
If Yin Jun seized the opportunity to let Chinese films get on the right track from the 90s, slowly influencing the audience and making them accustomed to watching conscientious movies, so that after 2000, after the market gradually rose, it was inevitable that Chinese films would usher in another leap.
At this time, Yin Jun naturally needed a lot of people to help.
Cheng Long is definitely one, and Hong Jinbao, as a behind-the-scenes person, is also indispensable.
……
The place where Hung Jinbao invites guests to eat is very sincere, and it is a very famous "Snow Garden Hotel" in Xiangjiang.
This shop has been relatively popular since the beginning of its opening a few years ago, and the owner's family is a chef from the mainland in the 50s, and after more than ten years of precipitation, he finally opened a restaurant of his own, specializing in Shanghai cuisine.
Then the economy of Xiangjiang gradually began to develop, people gradually got rich in their hands, the boss jumped out of the small restaurant, spent all his savings, bought a two-story shop on the street, and officially hung up the signboard of "Snow Garden Hotel", and the business was even more hot from then on.
Shanghai cuisine is mainly based on light Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, but it has absorbed a little style of Shandong cuisine and Hui cuisine, so it has formed a unique local cuisine.
In this place of Xiangjiang, there are many rich people in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, for example, Bao Yugang, the richest man in Xiangjiang, is a Lingbo person, Shao Yifu is also a Lingbo person, and the Chen family, the king of cotton yarn, is also Lingbo's, and the Guo family of Yongan Department Store is also a trace in Shanghai.
In addition, as for a group of cultural intellectuals, the elite class, there are even more from Shanghai, who occupy the backbone of Xiangjiang in this era.
It is not until the 80s that a group of real estate developers in eastern Guangdong will make efforts to replace Jiangsu and Zhejiang and become the number one wealthy group in Xiangjiang.
When everyone comes to another country, they naturally have homesickness, and this hometown cuisine is a good thing to soothe their souls, so naturally the Snow Garden Hotel is doing very well.
When Yin Jun came to the door of the hotel downstairs, he saw the sturdy Hong Jinbao standing at the door with Zhong Fa, looking around.
Zhong Fa saw Yin Jun who got out of the car at a glance, and said something to Hong Jinbao, who immediately walked over with a smile.
"Ah Jun, it's the first time we met, thank you for giving me Sanmao face!" Hong Jinbao smiled and stretched out his hand and shook hands with Yin Jun.
"Brother Sanmao, you are too polite. Yin Jun said with a smile, "Most of the results of the movie are due to your excellent directing and performance, and the script is secondary." ”
"Haha, if I'm really so powerful, why didn't I have such good results a few years ago? 5 million box office can be expected, this is a good situation that I never dreamed of!" Hong Jinbao patted Yin Jun's shoulder, "Ah Jun, you don't need to be modest, whoever has any ability has to rely on the results to speak." Brother Sanmao, I don't have your help, I don't know when I will be able to rush to the front, this favor, I will remember. ”
Yin Jun smiled but did not speak.
Even if he doesn't have his own help, Hong Jinbao will quickly soar up, in the first few years of the 80s, he was a superstar in Xiangjiang, and Cheng Long had to start slowly surpassing him in the back.
This is a handy favor, and Yin Jun doesn't expect Hong Jinbao to return anything to him, and it is enough to get thanks.
"Brother Sanmao!"
At this moment, a shout came from a distance nearby.
Yin Jun sounded familiar, turned his head with Hong Jinbao, and saw a young man with a big nose combing the lid of the pot, walking this way with a smile on his face.
Wearing big bell bottoms and a floral shirt, he was not as steady as he often wore Tang costumes in the future, and he didn't button a few buttons on his clothes, revealing strong muscles, obviously proud of his strong figure.
"Ah Long, why are you here?" Hong Jinbao grinned and hugged his neck, "Come, let me introduce you, this is Yin Jun, the most talented gold medal screenwriter in Xiangjiang, and he is a young hero...... Ah Jun, this is my junior brother Yuan Lou, oh, now his name is Cheng Long!"
"Oh!"
Cheng Long was originally giggling, but when he heard Hong Jinbao say this, he quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, and then stretched out his hands, "Hello Jun Shao, I'm Cheng Long!"
"Hello Brother Long. Yin Jun smiled, "I've watched several of your movies, Brother Long, like Brother Sanmao, is really born to eat this bowl of rice!"
"How many movies do I have?" Cheng Long was also unsure at this time, so he asked casually: "Which ones have you watched?"
Hong Jinbao frowned when he heard this, and he felt a little unhappy.
I thought that I had worked so hard to invite the guests, and people complimented you, and you began to embarrass people here?
You are only a little famous this year, and Yin Jun has only been in Xiangjiang for half a year, where have you seen many movies?
Unexpectedly, Yin Jun also replied casually: "I have watched "Jingwumen" that was beaten by Li Xiaolong by grabbing his hair, "New Jingwumen", "Shaolin Woodman Alley", "Flying Over Cirrus Mountain", and the recent "Serpentine Trickster" several times. ”
Cheng Long was dumbfounded when he heard it, and even Hong Jinbao was dumbfounded.
No way!
You're too good, aren't you?
Not only have I really seen it, but I can even recognize the flashing scene in "Jingwumen"!?
Such a person is no longer just described as a talent, he is simply a genius!
Seeing that Cheng Long was speechless, Hong Jinbao sighed and said: "Ah Jun, people say that you are a genius, but I now know that geniuses can also shock the world through continuous learning and accumulation." ”
As he said this, Zhong Fa next to him also nodded again and again.
Even Cheng Long, a new star, Yin Jun can know it clearly, and he also told his most inconspicuous role, which shows that Yin Jun's observation ability, super-memory and well-informed can he say?
No wonder Brother Fan said that people like Ah Jun don't come out, it's really intolerable!
After the interlude, when Yin Jun and Hong Jinbao walked into the Snow Garden Hotel, Cheng Long really respected and admired Yin Jun.
When he started to eat, he directly picked up his wine glass, punished himself with three glasses, and apologized sincerely.
Yin Jun understands that Cheng Long's big mouth is natural, and now he is quite restrained, and when he becomes famous, it will be called open-mouthed.
But Cheng Long generally doesn't have any bad intentions, but he just doesn't speak through his brain, so he offends some people and makes some people hate him.
For this person who has always been close to the mainland and regards himself as a descendant of China, Yin Jun is naturally willing to support him, so that he can achieve greater achievements than in his previous life and become a typical benchmark.
See, as long as your heart is towards Huaxia, then you can get greater benefits!
As long as you know that the closer you are to the mainland, the more benefits you can get, and the people of Xiangjiang will naturally be close to the mainland and will not be sow discord by the villains.
Hung Jinbao ordered a wide variety of dishes at the Snow Garden Hotel, such as duck in sauce, stir-fried river shrimp, hibiscus chicken slices, braised yuan hoof, rock sugar soft-shelled turtle, steamed anchovies...... and so on more than a dozen dishes on the table, so that everyone, who is almost all young people, is feasting.
Yin Jun doesn't drink and doesn't eat much, so in addition to chatting with Hong Jinbao next to him, he is more looking at the people at the dinner table.
Compared with the group of pink chrysanthemum brothers present when Wei Xiaofan was eating food stalls before, Hong Jinbao's table is completely a much higher-grade character.
On Yin Jun's right is Hong Jinbao, and on the other side of Hong Jinbao is Yuan Heping, at this time he is only called Big Eye or Starling, not the eighth master in the future.
In the past, Lin Zhengying, that is, the eldest apprentice of Pink Chrysanthemum, Wei Xiaofan and Dong Wei, their elder brothers, will play such a classic role as the Taoist in zombie movies in the future.
Lin Zhengying is followed by Yuan Kui, that is, the second-tier director who will gain a firm foothold in Hollywood in the future; next to Yuan Kui is Yuan De, who is also a director who will mix well in the mainland and the United States in the future; and there is another Yuan Bin next to him, who is also an action director who will be active in the mainland film industry in the future, Xu Ke likes to use him very much, "New Dragon Gate Inn", "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" are all action designs he did.
Next is the future villain Yuanhua, next to him is a hot beauty, who looks a bit like a mixed-race child, originally Yin Jun thought it was Yuanhua's girlfriend, but he was surprised when he heard the introduction of Yin Jun.
It turned out that this was Hong Jinbao's younger sister Yuanqiu, that is, the charter wife in "Kung Fu".
Thinking about the sloppy charter wife, and then looking at the beautiful beauties in their prime, Yin Jun deeply felt that it was still a woman like Jiahui, Qianqian, and Sister Zhi who knew how to maintain.
After these two have passed, it is Cheng Long, who is now famous, and next to Cheng Long is the little junior brother Yuan Biao, who is still playing tricks.
Yuan Biao's side was also a man in his thirties, Yin Jun couldn't recognize him, but he was definitely not one of the Seven Little Blessings, because he was more like a businessman, and he didn't have any martial arts at all.
After Hong Jinbao's introduction during the meal, Yin Jun learned that his name is Wu Siyuan, who used to be a director who made movies, and is now the boss of Siyuan Film Company.
As soon as he heard his name and the name of the film company, Yin Jun immediately matched the number.
It turns out that this is Wu Siyuan, who left Zhang Guorong with a lifetime of regret and tricked him into filming "Spring in Red Mansions"!
It turns out that this is Wu Siyuan, who became popular with Cheng Long!
It turns out that this is Xu Ke's Bole Wu Siyuan!
It turns out that this is Wu Siyuan, the owner of the future Huaguo mid-range cinema line - UME Cinema Line! )
