Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong Chapter 1016

"Is this Bruce Lee crazy? He wants one to fight ten?"

Unsurprisingly, once this version of Shi Zhijian's advertisement was published, the whole Hong Kong was boiling!

When I learned that Bruce Lee, the star of "Big Brother Tangshan", wanted to play ten at the premiere tomorrow, those viewers who didn't buy tickets, and those who were reluctant to spend a lot of money on tickets were going crazy.

The 2,000 limited-edition movie tickets were sold by scalpers, and finally from 30 yuan to 100 yuan a piece! From 100 yuan to 150 yuan, 200 yuan, 300 yuan! In the end, a movie ticket was multiplied tenfold!

Those rich guys found that not only did they not lose money on the movie tickets they bought, but they made a lot of money!

How did this happen?

We want to support Senator Shi, and in turn make money? What a shame!

Those poor people were also dumbfounded. They thought that 30 yuan for a ticket was too expensive, and they were reluctant to buy it, but now a ticket of 300 yuan is even more unaffordable!

Seeing that tomorrow night's premiere is highly anticipated, Shi Zhijian is carefully selecting ten martial artists who were "madly beaten" by Bruce Lee.

As Bruce Lee said, this kind of thing will hurt people if it doesn't work well, and the so-called "point to the end" does not exist at all, so what can be done to ensure the safety of personnel, so that "everyone is happy"?

The audience not only enjoyed an unparalleled martial arts match, and it was worth the fare, Bruce Lee could "stand out" with this match and live up to the reputation of "Kung Fu Emperor".

Of course, the most important thing is that the follow-up box office of "Big Brother Tangshan" can be hyped up and become a huge success?

In the end, Shi Zhijian thought of a group of people, first of all "Seven Little Fortunes" headed by "Hong Jinbao" and "Cheng Long", seven people, then Dong Wei, Lin Zhengying, and Wu Ma, just enough for ten people!

Dong Wei, Lin Zhengying and Wu Ma are easy to handle, because these three are now acting as substitutes in Xinyi City. As for Qi Xiaofu-----

Shi Zhijian remembered that he had talked to Lin Zhengying when he visited the class before, and asked him to help introduce that he wanted to recruit Qixiaofu into Xinyi City. Lin Zhengying was very grateful to Shi Zhijian for this.

Immediately, Shi Zhijian called Lin Zhengying and asked Lin Zhengying to call Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao has been acting in Shaw Brothers since his debut, and he does well by interpersonal relationships. He has a small role in the play, but he is not very famous.

The most outstanding is that he once helped Hu Jinquan design the martial arts movements in "Drunken Man".

Unfortunately, he has had bad luck recently and offended Zhou Duwen, the producer of Shaw Brothers.

When Zhou Duwen was celebrating his birthday, all the big and small stars gave gifts and congratulations, but Hong Jinbao didn't eat this set, and didn't even give a fart.

Afterwards, Zhou Duwen began to put on small shoes for him, first changing his position as the martial arts instructor, and letting him be a stand-in for the protagonist.

It doesn't matter to Hong Jinbao, it's not that he never worked as a stand-in before, but he was still young at that time, but now he's grown up and fat, how can many male pig feet look like him, how to replace him?

Shaw Brothers' remuneration is calculated on the basis of quantity. If you don't work, you won't make any money! It made Hong Jinbao hungry and thin in the past two or three months!

In the last time and space, Hong Jinbao finally broke with Shaw Brothers and left Shaw Brothers with a rage to join Golden Harvest. ,

In the same year, the film "Aikido" was filmed, which was Hong Jinbao's first leading role in the film, in which he played the second male lead.

Since then, Hong Jinbao and Bruce Lee have become the best friends, including Yuan Hua, Lin Zhengying and others, all of whom are Bruce Lee's best friends!

It was not until Bruce Lee passed away that Hong Jinbao and other talents started the open-hanging mode, traversing the Hong Kong film industry, and each became a big shot!

Of course, at this time, Hong Jinbao, who was refrigerated by Shaw Brothers and had nothing to film, was so hungry that he couldn't even eat instant noodles! They can only rely on a group of brothers and friends to help, but the brothers like Cheng Long were also indirectly banned by Zhou Duwen because of his reasons. These brothers have nothing to do, and everyone is hungry!

In short, including Hong Jinbao, Qi Xiaofu and others have reached a low point in their lives at this time!

"What? Xinyicheng wants to invite me to film?" Hong Jinbao, who looked disheveled, answered the phone weakly, "And the salary is three times that of Shaw Brothers? If I perform well, you can sign a long-term contract with me and let me do it. Male pig's feet?"

Cheng Long, who came over to deliver egg tarts to Hong Jinbao, immediately pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word.

Half a day later, Hong Jinbao hung up the phone in a daze, and Cheng Long immediately stepped forward and said, "What's the matter? How did Xinyicheng find you? What did they ask you to do? Three times your salary? ?"

Hong Jinbao just blinked, "Yes, Xinyicheng called me! But why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Aaron, you pinch my face!"

Cheng Long hurriedly stepped forward, reaching out and pinching Hong Jinbao's face.

"Oh! Take it easy! It wasn't a dream!" Hong Jinbao confirmed.

"Brother Sanmao, you have developed!" Cheng Long said enviously, "I heard that Xinyi City was founded by Mr. Shi Zhijian! He is not only a businessman, but also a member of the Legislative Council. He is very powerful! By then you will be there If he shows his face in front of him, maybe he will be able to soar!"

Hong Jinbao was also full of excitement, rubbing his fists: "What you said is true! I have heard people say this! Mr. Shi's Shenlong is not so easy to meet! I must seize the opportunity! Is there Aaron? Money? Lend me some first, I want to buy a suit! No matter how you go to Xinyi City, you can't lose the face of our Seven Little Fortunes!"

"receive!"

In the end, Cheng Long called Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao and the others over again. It took them a long time to collect 500 yuan in their pockets, and they gave it all to Hong Jinbao.

Action actors like them who rely on blood and sweat to eat, to be precise, are small dragons. Generally, their salaries are spent quickly, and it is difficult to save money. Now that Hong Jinbao has been banned, they are also unlucky. Where is the money?

Hong Jinbao held the five million that his brothers had put together in his hands, and solemnly said to Cheng Long and the others: "Good brothers, for a lifetime! I will pay you back the money soon!"

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Hong Jinbao bought a suit with 500 yuan. Although the suit was a little small, it still looked decent on him, and then he called a rickshaw to the New Art City Film Company.

Originally, Hong Jinbao wanted to take a taxi, but found that the fare was too expensive, so it was better to take a rickshaw!

However, the rickshaw driver found that he was suffering because he took Hong Jinbao's job.

But adhering to the principle that the customer is God, the rickshaw driver took Hong Jinbao responsibly to Xinyi City. When he arrived at the destination, he had already collapsed to the ground, exhausted like a dog!

Hong Jinbao entered Xinyi City, Shi Zhijian was talking with Bruce Lee and others about the premiere, so Chen Huimin went out to inform Hong Jinbao and let him wait outside first.

Hong Jinbao could only wear a small suit, standing on the spot, his buttocks were stretched uncomfortable, and he would dig with his hands from time to time.

Chen Huimin was also a rude person who didn't know how to entertain guests, let alone let Hong Jinbao find a place to sit down.

But Hong Jinbao thought too much, thinking that this was a "test" given to him by Shi Zhijian, and he had to persevere! Not only to stand firm, but also to stand accurately! But how did he know that Shi Zhijian was really too busy and he forgot about him.

When Shi Zhijian remembered it, more than two hours had passed before he turned around and asked Chen Huimin, "Is Hong Jinbao still outside?"

Chen Huimin said, "I've been waiting outside."

"Let him in!"

When Hong Jinbao got the news that Shi Zhijian was going to meet him in person, he was very excited. When he moved his legs, he found that he was standing too straight and his legs were a little numb.

"Mr. Shi, hello!" Hong Jinbao saw Shi Zhijian's excited face, his lips trembling.

"Hey, are you injured?" Shi Zhijian saw him limping.

"Oh, no!" Hong Jinbao hurriedly moved his legs and feet, "I was standing outside for too long just now, so I--"

"I'm sorry, I'm being rude! I was so busy just now that I forgot that you were still outside! Huimin really doesn't know how to treat guests!"

"It's okay!" Hong Jinbao waved his hands hastily, "We martial arts practitioners are used to this kind of thing!"

Shi Zhijian nodded, arranged for Hong Jinbao to sit down, and let someone make tea.

Hong Jinbao leaned his **** on the sofa. He didn't dare to be presumptuous in the face of a big man like Shi Zhijian. Tell me that there is a movie that can be filmed, is it true? Also, you said that the salary is three times that of my Shaw Brothers, and you want to make me a pig's foot, are these all true?”

When Shi Zhijian saw Hong Jinbao's questioning so carefully, he couldn't help but feel amused, "Then how much is your salary at Shaw Brothers?"

"Cough cough, it's not too much, a play can cost almost 3,000 yuan!"

"Really?" Shi Zhijian threw out a stack of money and threw it on the coffee table in front of Hong Jinbao, "Here is 30,000 yuan!"

"Uh, this?" Hong Jinbao didn't expect Shi Zhijian to be so generous.

"Is this the salary for ten plays?"

"Wrong! A play!"

"Uh?"

"Accurately for you and your brothers to make a play for me!"

"You mean me and Cheng Long?"

"That's right!" Shi Zhijian nodded, "I need your Seven Little Fortunes to help you perform a play on the day of the premiere!"

Hong Jinbao's eyes twitched, as if thinking of something, "You mean-----Bruce's one hit ten?"

"Smart! No wonder you can become a movie boss in the future!"

"Uh, what?" Hong Jinbao was stunned, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

Shi Zhijian did not explain, but pointed at the money: "If you are willing to do it, accept the money! I know that you Qi Xiaofu are best at performing kung fu live, especially the fighting scenes are very exciting, so let me see your greatness tomorrow night. !"

Hong Jinbao didn't expect to be so regarded by Shi Zhijian. He was so excited and his blood boiled, he quickly grabbed the money and stuffed it into his arms: "Mr. Shi, don't worry! We Qi Xiaofu can't do anything else. We're beaten, it's definitely professional!"

Shi Zhijian smiled, "You don't need to be beaten, you should fight back when it's time to fight back! The audience will be happy when they come and go!"

"Understood!" Hong Jinbao stood up immediately, then bowed deeply to Shi Zhijian, "I, Hong Jinbao, on behalf of Qi Xiaofu, will let you, Mr. Shi, to see our true strength tomorrow night!"

When Hong Jinbao left Shi Zhijian's office with 30,000 Hong Kong dollars in his pocket, Bruce Lee, who had heard the news, entered Shi Zhijian's office.

Shi Zhijian drank tea with his legs crossed, and squinted at Bruce Lee: "Of course it's fake! Do you still want to beat people to death?"

"I don't mean that... I mean I am a warrior, and a warrior should be upright and upright when he does things!"

"Fair and fair? Do you really want to hit ten with one? You also said that your fists and feet are blind, what if you hurt someone? Also, Hong Jinbao and the others are very professional, and they know how to minimize the damage when they are beaten! You can also go to them and play tricks with them at this time, instead of telling me the moral standards of warriors here!"

Bruce Lee was speechless.

Shi Zhijian put down the teacup and tapped the table with his fingers: "Remember, since I, Shi Zhijian, hold you to be the Emperor of Kung Fu, you have to do it if you don't do it, and do it well! You know what? Because you represent the Chinese people. I want those foreigners to know what it's called 'eseKungFu!'"

Tomorrow will be the premiere of "Big Brother Tangshan". Before that, "Ma Yongzhen" filmed by Shaw Brothers will be released first.

On the day of the test screening, a movie theater's box office reached an astonishing 14,000!

Although the number 14,000 is not very auspicious, it makes Shao Daheng ecstatic.

According to the box office calculation of the Hong Kong premiere, the next film will be released in Dongying, Baodao, Southeast Asia, and South Korea, and the box office will be further expanded.

In fact, in this era, Hong Kong films had four overseas ticket warehouses, namely Dongying, Baodao, Thailand and Malaysia, and South Korea.

In particular, South Korea and Shaw Brothers have a close relationship. Many Shaw Brothers films like to be filmed in South Korea, such as "Empty Mountain and Spiritual Rain", which will have a great influence in the future, and "Golden Bottle Shuangyan" and so on.

Korean movies were not so good in the 1970s, and there was no such thing as the troika of Chungmuro Road. Some of them were only occupied by Hong Kong movies and existed as a dumping ground for Hong Kong movies!

In Shao Daheng's opinion, the "Ma Yongzhen" produced by Shaw Brothers can achieve such a proud achievement in Hong Kong this time, and the next step is to dominate overseas, especially Dongying and South Korea must win!

Therefore, at the end of the premiere, Shao Daheng began to let his actors Chen Guangtai, Jiang Dawei and others go to Dongying and South Korean runners to perform, cheering for "Ma Yongzhen" and cheering for the box office!

At the same time, the long-awaited "Big Brother Tangshan" also ushered in its premiere on the same day.

As of the day of the premiere, in order to help the play build momentum, Shi Zhijian's cost of publicity alone is as high as 100,000! It is already higher than the total box office of some street movies!
