Among the four summer films, "Yin Yang Clash" is a human-ghost romance filmed by the new director Lin Lingdong.
When this film was initially planned, it was specially sold to the Taiwanese market. The original director was Taiwan's De-Chang Yang.
However, the script and shooting plan produced by Yang Dechang were repeatedly overturned. Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen both insisted on shooting the original script and rewriting it. Yang Dechang was angry and quit.
So Huang Baiming spent two days completing the new script framework, Gao Zhisen and others filled in the details of the script, and finally found Lin Lingdong, who had never made a movie, to be the director.
Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and others from New Art City are planning "Best Partner 3" and have been doing preliminary preparations in the first half of the year, and the shooting plan was postponed due to Xu Guanjie's Hung Hom concert.
As soon as Xu Guanjie's concert ended, a large group of people went to Paris together. The only three giants in New Art City left Shi Tian to stay in Hong Kong for his family.
As a result, the new director Lin Lingdong's Virgo became the main film of Princess Jin's theaters this summer.
Perhaps because of lack of confidence in Lin Lingdong, the promotional budget for "Yin Yang Crush" is not large.Moreover, in order to avoid a collision with Jiahe and Shaw Brothers films, Princess Jin delayed the release date of "Yin Yang Clash".
However, this collided with Kang Jianfei's "God of Gambling", because Kang Jianfei also delayed the release of "God of Gambling" by nearly 20 days.
The purpose of this is to avoid a head-on conflict with Sammo Hung's "The Strategy of the Five Blessings Stars". After all, Kang Jianfei knows how powerful this movie is; the second is that Jiang Zhiwen insists on releasing the Hollywood film "Mr. Duss" first, postponing the release date of "God of Gambling", which can provide four more theaters with Happy release.
As for the period when the summer season started, Kang Jianfei helped Century Pictures arrange a movie in the new era theater. Liu Zhenwei was naturally grateful. After all, Century Pictures' movies have never been scheduled for good schedules such as summer seasons and Christmas seasons before.
On July 7th, "The Strategy of the Five Blessings" and "Shaolin and Wudang" were released at the same time, and the old enemies Jiahe and Shaw Brothers collided again.
"Shaolin and Wudang" is not a film of Shaw Pictures, the producer is Xingfa Pictures, a veteran film company with a history of more than 20 years.
Xingfa Pictures has not made a movie for four years, and its boss Deng Shiliang has a close relationship with Run Run Shaw, so most of the movies in this company are Shaw Brothers, and the theaters are also Shaw Brothers.
This time is no exception. The director of "Shaolin and Wudang" is Liu Jialiang's younger brother Liu Jiahui, starring Liu Jiahui, Adam Cheng, Jing Li and Chen Yulian, all signed artists under Shaw Brothers and TVB.
This cast is pretty good, but unfortunately it is still a hard bridge and hard horse kung fu movie.Although Shaw Brothers Cinema has strong support, it is not enough to compete with "The Strategy of the Five Blessings".
"Shaolin and Wudang" was only released for a week, but it had to lose the painting due to its low attendance rate. The final box office was more than 2.8 million.
After that, Shaw Brothers theaters had no good movies released, so they had to barely release some imported Western films and independent small productions to make up for the numbers, wasting the good summer season in vain.
"The Five Blessings Stars" has made great progress, with a box office of more than 2.1 million on the first day of release, which is equivalent to the box office of "Shaolin and Wudang" in one week.
Starring Sammo Hung, Feng Suifan, Wu Yaohan, Qin Xianglin, and Cen Jianxun are famous, especially Qin Xianglin and Cen Jianxun. One of them is famous in Taiwan and Nanyang, and the other is a pure newcomer as an actor. Because of the movie "The Five Blessings of the Strategy", they have become popular actors in Hong Kong.
Of course, Cherie Chung, the only heroine in the movie, is also very popular. Before the film was lost, Cherie Chung's pay had increased to 600,000.
Run Run Shaw has stopped in the film industry, and even this summer has not been released. It seems that Shaw Brothers is not far from closing.
In contrast, Jiahe and Baohe were filled with joy, and Zou Wenhuai held a celebration banquet for the crew of "The Strategy and the Five Blessings Stars".
Jackie Chan's treatment in Jiahe was always overwhelming Sammo Hung. After this drama was sold, Sammo Hung proved to everyone that he was the eldest brother.
……
On the TV screen, Chow Yun-fat was holding a toothpick in his arms, wearing a windbreaker, and holding a double gun in his hand to shoot left and right.
Suddenly, Chow Yun-fat's outfit changed, and he made a big, shiny back with a hair wax, and a suit. There was a group of followers behind him.
As we approached, the carefully edited "God of Gamblers" flashed quickly in five seconds, all of which were wonderful shots of the film, giving the audience a feeling worth looking forward to.
At this time, the voiceover appears: Brother Ma transformed into a god of gambling, and the gambling world is on the rise again. The international director Kang Jianfei's recent masterpiece "Gambling God", will be officially released on the Hong Kong New Era Theater Channel on July 21. Please pay attention to the broadcast of the premiere of "Gambling God" on the evening of July 20!
The entire advertisement took 8 seconds in total, but the content was refreshing, especially the wonderful movie scenes, which aroused the audience's desire to watch the movie.
Yang Caini's mother Song Hye-jin smiled and said: Mr. Kang is doing a good job in this advertisement, I want to watch "God of Gambling".
The 19th is the premiere of "God of Gambling". Sister Song, if you want to go and watch it, I can give you two tickets.
Brigitte Lin brought a fruit plate, handed a piece of the peeled apple to Yang Caini, and then handed it to Song Hye-zhen and Lin Fengjiao next to her.
The place where the girls were at this time was the villa that Kang Jianfei gave to Brigitte Lin.
Brigitte Lin has been back from Japan for more than two months, and this is the first time that Lin Fengjiao has been invited to visit her.
As for Yang Caini and her daughter, they are much more diligent. After all, Brigitte Lin is Yang Caini's godmother, and the two are not far from their hometown in Taipei.
Lin Fengjiao was still a little guilty when facing Lin Qingxia. At first, she and Kang Jianfei got along, and a large part of the reason was to compete with Lin Qingxia. However, after being promoted by Kang Jianfei, she was conservative in her mind and focused on Kang Jianfei. Now she is worried that Lin Qingxia will discover the two of them.
Fortunately, Brigitte Lin didn't mention that, so she finally felt at ease. The three women teased the children from time to time and talked about the past in Taipei.
Not long after, there was a sound outside. Brigitte Lin walked out and saw that Kang Jian was flying. He asked in surprise: You are coming today, why don’t you say it in advance?
Why, if you hide a man here, I am afraid that I will know about it?Kang Jianfei joked.
There are not men, but there are many women.Brigitte Lin gave him a blank look and said that she was not afraid that Song Hye-jin and Lin Fengjiao knew about the relationship with Kang Jianfei.
After Kang Jianfei walked into the living room, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Fengjiao and Yang Caini, but then he reacted and said with a smile: Today is so lively.
As soon as Song Hye-jin saw Kang Jian flying in, she immediately realized that it was not easy for him and Brigitte Lin, but she didn't show any thoughts, but just stood up and smiled: Mr. Kang is here, we were still talking about your "God of Gambling".
The nine-year-old little Caini ran over with a fruit plate and shouted enthusiastically: Director brother, please eat apples.
Kang Jianfei stuffed an apple into his mouth, hugged Yang Caini and sat down to the center of the living room, pretending to be nothing, and said to Lin Fengjiao: Why did Fengjiao remember to come to Qingxia to play today?
Lin Fengjiao was a little embarrassed and replied wisely: I haven’t seen Qingxia for a long time, so of course I have to walk around when I have time.
Brigitte Lin helped ask: A Fei, Feng Jiao has learned almost all of her Cantonese. Are there any good roles for her?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: I haven't thought about it yet, but I will say hello to Oriental Entertainment Company. If they have good roles, they will give it to Feng Jiao first.
Song Hye-jin is very eye-catching and takes the excuse to say goodbye when he hasn't talked for a long time, so as not to disturb the world of Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin.
Seeing that Yang Caini and her daughter were leaving, Lin Fengjiao was embarrassed to be stunned for a long time. She glanced at Kang Jianfei with a resentful look before leaving with them.
Only Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia were left in the house. Lin Qingxia came over and leaned in his arms, and said angrily: Why don’t you live with her tonight?
She naturally refers to Zhao Yazhi. From this we can see that Brigitte Lin has figured it out completely and can still tease Kang Jianfei from time to time, unlike when she sees Zhao Yazhi, she looks ugly when she starts to mention it.
Although Kang Jianfei has many women, he still stays at Brigitte Lin and Zhao Yazhi's home most of the time. If Rosamund Kwan returns to Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei will often accompany her.
As for Pan Yingzi and the Happy Girls group, Kang Jianfei basically only went once a week or two.
Kang Jianfei slapped Lin Qingxia's fragrant buttocks and said with a smile: I'm afraid I'll neglect you.
You all speak nicely.Brigitte Lin had no choice but to take Kang Jianfei. She had to accept her fate by hitting this demon star.
Kang Jianfei asked: Do you like it or not?
Men who are used to saying good-hearted are all fickle thieves.Brigitte Lin summarized very vividly.
Kang Jianfei had no choice but to talk, and soon changed the topic.
Brigitte Lin said: By the way, the box office of "The Strange Scheme of Five Blessings" is very good this time. Are your "God of Gamblers" confident that it will surpass it?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: I know that "The Five Blessings Stars" is very powerful, so I deliberately staggered the schedule.The opponent of "God of Gamblers" is "Yin Yang Clash" from New Art City, and you are not worried about not winning the audience.
In fact, "Yin Yang Clash" is not bad either. In another time and space, this movie was released during the Christmas season, half a year later than now.
The box office is close to 15 million, ranking sixth in the annual box office list, second only to Zhang Jianting's "Seven Days of Mistakes", and is another classic work with a small cost and high box office.
With the arrival of the premiere of "God of Gamblers", "The Five Blessings Stars" has been released for nearly half a month, with a box office of more than 15 million, but its popularity is gradually decreasing.
When the publicity of "God of Gambling" was overwhelming, the outside world's attention turned to "God of Gambling", especially the TV commercial, which pushed the publicity of "God of Gambling" to its climax in the past month.
Some newspapers are already predicting which movies will become the box office champion among the movies released this summer.
When this film was initially planned, it was specially sold to the Taiwanese market. The original director was Taiwan's De-Chang Yang.
However, the script and shooting plan produced by Yang Dechang were repeatedly overturned. Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen both insisted on shooting the original script and rewriting it. Yang Dechang was angry and quit.
