The next day, taking the crew to rest halfway, Li Xuan took a lot of newspapers he bought in the morning and started reading the comments of the film critics.

"Mr. Zombie" incorporates the serious and terrifying zombie movies in Hong Kong into humorous elements. In the deep horror, it embodies the drama and despise the world and the positive and optimistic style of the Kung Fu comedy movie. The evil ending does not suppress the righteousness, and it deeply expresses the consistent reunion mentality of Hong Kong people. Humor fully runs through the whole play and forms an extremely excellent comedy movie."

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the film reviews in the Ming Pao Morning Post. No matter how good the review was, it would be useless to meet the magical drama "Shanghai Bund".

Shaking his head and putting the Ming Pao Morning Post aside, Li Xuan took a look at other newspapers in his hand, but it was an Oriental Daily.

I saw the newspaper write: "As soon as the midnight show of "Mr. Zombie" was previewed, I thought of last year's box office champion "Scary People". Both are a combination of monsters and kung fu, and they are also humorous. In order to distinguish them from kung fu comedy, I boldly call it a spiritual fantasy kung fu film, and this movie is truly the pioneering work of the new zombie film. The author also believes that it is the pillar of the new zombie film in Hong Kong, which can be beyond the reach of those who are later."

Finally seeing the familiar word "The Spiritual Fantasy Kung Fu" film, Li Xuan nodded slightly, but this film review was almost pointing directly at Shaw Brothers's "Seven Golden Corpse" and started to curse.

The next review of "Sing Tao Morning News" by Li Xuan is much more nonsense. The beginning is a sentence: "Mr. Zombie" uses a unique comedy style and humorous expression to satirize the increasingly intense materialism under the bubble economy."

Li Xuan read "Mr. Zombie" several times, but he didn't see such great artistic connotation. He didn't need to read the other tabloids carefully. Li Xuan glanced at it and threw the pile of newspapers aside.

Lying on the director's chair, Li Xuan pressed his forehead, thinking about how to pull the person from the front of the TV back to the theater. Unfortunately, after a while, Li Xuan sighed helplessly.

"Shanghai Bund" can be said to be the first of China's most influential film and television dramas, and it is also one of the few Chinese classic dramas that have great popularity and influence in Asian countries. It is also the first Chinese drama to sensation in Asian countries. When it emerged in 1980, the storm swept across Asia and set a ratings myth. Later, it was introduced to the mainland, which caused a scene of people being empty. I don't know how many people are crazy about this drama.

Now facing this drama, it is not just a simple way to promote the movie to bring people back to the theater. As for the tricks such as watching movie lottery, Li Xuan didn't think about it anymore, not to mention whether it was useless. Just because he paid the theater's bottom-up, in addition to maintaining the expenses of the crew of "Black Man", he was really out of money. And Li Xuan is not a person who likes to borrow money to live, not to mention that it is definitely a huge amount of money.

Li Xuan smiled helplessly and said that it would be unfair to die in this TV series. At least, judging from the quality of "Mr. Zombies", he should not die too miserably.

Putting these helpless things aside, Li Xuan looked at Zhong Chuhong, who was chatting with Xiao Qingqing not far away, then stood up and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Okay, are you all resting? I'm ready to start construction."

"OK, start construction."

"start."

"Yeah, I'm working."

With Li Xuan's shout, the entire crew came to life. There were not many protagonists needed in this scene, but because of the fact that they wanted to hang a wire to shoot a fight, many dragon and tiger martial artists were invited, and the scene was lively.

Li Xuan and his group are now on the North Point Electric Road in Hong Kong Island. This is the original site of the North Point Power Plant that was discontinued from production the year before yesterday. The Hong Kong government is preparing to develop this place into a large private housing estate, but construction has not started yet. There are many abandoned circuit towers on site, which can be used to shoot an outdoor scene of an iron frame fighting scene.

"Xiaodong, Curry, Abbot, how are you rehearsing?" Li Xuan asked at the three big men who were rehearsing their fists and feet next to him.

At this time, Yuan Dart was dressed like a Green Hornet, and she was so handsome. Curry was even more amazing, just like Zhong Chuhong's outfit now. She wore a long black wig, a black long windbreaker, high heels, and sexy fishnet stockings. Looking from behind, she was definitely a sexy girl.

As for why he dressed up like this, it was because Curry played the role of Zhong Chuhong's stand-in here. In the movie, he was the role of Zhong Chuhong's fight scenes without showing his face. Because Zhong Chuhong, who is not good at martial arts, did not have the sharp taste that Li Xuan needed, so he simply arranged Curry to play. Anyway, he also played Zhong Chuhong's stand-in in "Scary People".

"The rehearsal is almost done, should I take a look first?" Cheng Xiaodong replied with his hands gestured.

"No need to watch it. Yuetai, be ready, let's try shooting it directly." Li Xuan called Huang Yuetai over casually and planned to start shooting directly.

"Okay, then take a photo."

Cheng Xiaodong also nodded boldly.

Now the crew members are all on the foundation of an abandoned high-voltage electric tower. They are said to be the foundation, but they are still below. Li Xuan and the others' feet are more precisely a house built on the foundation.

As everyone finished preparing, Curry also pulled the guardrail on the roof and stood outside, while Yuan Biao stood in the guardrail. The distance between the two was less than half a meter and stood opposite each other.

"Each person is buried in his own seats and is ready to start shooting."

"Scene 81st first filming, action!"

"Bang!"

As the field board fell heavily, Curry jumped sideways and jumped in from outside the guardrail. The two people's right feet kicked together, but that's not the end. Curry swung again and then kicked Yuan Biao's face with the flow.

"Crack! After that, the action is synthesized in one go, very good!"

Li Xuan stood up from behind the monitor with joy and said with a smile.

"Smack it..."

A burst of applause immediately sounded in the crowd, which made Cheng Xiaodong thank him immediately.

"Baoba!" Li Xuan also patted hard a few times, then waved his hand and shouted: "Okay, the martial artists are ready to be a wire, we are going to go there to take pictures."

After saying that, Li Xuan pointed to the high-pressure iron frame about twenty meters high next to him.

What happened next was as Li Xuan expected. As soon as "Shanghai Bund" was released, who would compete with him!

The TVB, which was originally slapped in the face by Lishi's "Six Tribulations of Fusheng" and was slapped in the face. As soon as "Shanghai Band" was broadcast, it took only three days to tie the ratings with "Six Tribulations of Fusheng". Six days after "Shanghai Band" was broadcast, it happened that the next day was Sunday, and the ratings of that night soared to 61, and the results steadily exceeded the "Six Tribulations of Fusheng".

Of course, this viewership rate is the data investigated by the TV station itself, and the calculation method of Hong Kong TV series ratings in later generations was not implemented until 1991. At this time, it was through telephone surveys and interviews, and the data results were not accurate and only had some reference value.

But such achievements have also shocked the Hong Kong film and television industry.

The topics that Hong Kong citizens often chat about have suddenly changed from the tens of millions of box offices of "The Junior Brother" to Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng. Even the dress of young people has changed their fashion. The usual narrow shirts and bell-bottom pants are gone. Many people imitate Xu Wenqiang's black clothes and a white scarf, and a lit cigarette in his hand to make them cool.

In just one week, "Shanghai Bund" has become popular all over Xiangjiang.

"The waves are running, the waves are flowing, and the surging rivers never stop..."

Whenever the theme song of "Shanghai Bund" sounds at night, the streets of Hong Kong are rare in an instant. Even the old couple Zhong's father and mother who are determined to make money are rushing to close the file and go home to watch TV.

What does it mean to have a crowded street?

That's it!

What is a miserable box office?

That's it!

Li Xuan sat in Jiahe's office, looking at the data table in his hand and laughed and cried.

Yesterday, the ratings of "Shanghai Bund" exceeded 61, and yesterday was also the first day of "Mr. Zombie" released in Hong Kong.

This zombie movie, which was finally released in Taiwan for four weeks and won more than NT$13.8 million in box office. It only won NT$510,000 on its premiere on Hong Kong, barely surpassed half of the first day of "The Junior Brother" box office. Based on the price increase of nearly one-third this year compared to last year, this movie is even worse than Wang Jin's "Scary Man", not to mention that "Mr. Zombie" is a full-time joint film of Jiahe...

Is such a good movie doomed to fail? (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
