Chapter two hundred and seventeenth birth at the wrong time

Although Hometown is still popular in the United States, especially January and February are the pre-season guide for the Academy Awards. Most of the films released at this time are art films, or more inclined to awards and dramas favored by awards/

Even if there are box office big movies, most of them are for the awards season, and they are specially communicated to let several theaters and more than ten theaters show the videos they want to make from time to time.

Just like returning to the future with Mr. Qiao and his wife, both of these films were produced by the production company, namely DreamWorks, a film production company invested and controlled by Qiao Feng. Both films were awarded the Academy Awards by DreamWorks.

And back to the future, I have also received several award nominations for important awards.

James Cameron and Anne Hurd finally got together. Anne Hurd's company became famous because of the success of the previous Terminator. The Terminator also made director James Cameron famous.

Although Cameron was happy in the Terminator period, it was because Qiao Feng gave him all the rights he wanted to make him feel respected and believed, so he later joined Qiao Feng's company after brief thinking. However, this person still spared no effort in promoting Anne Hurd's film distribution company.

Anne Hurd Company's business scope includes a service for awards PR for movies, targeting a group of people who are preparing to make a difference during the awards season.

Then because of his collaborations before, and Anne Hurd is already James Cameron's woman, James Cameron is the most awesome director in Hollywood, so Qiao Feng must give this face to others.

The result is that if you go back to the future, the nominations obtained by the two films of Mr. Qiao and his wife, it depends on Anne Hurd's public relations ability.

One month after the release of the House of Kat, it was awards season for a long time, which naturally means that there are very few movies that can compete with the House of Kat in this period.

Although, in North America and Hollywood, Home Alone is the most mentioned movie name, it is not as brilliant in Hong Kong.

There is no way, the boss of the little kid was released in Hong Kong for only one month. Even if it was very awesome, so what? After the box office around North America was shocking and eye-catching, the people in the Hong Kong circle were shocked and frightened.

But it was just a shock. After all, the boss of the little kid has already painted in Hong Kong, and he was surprised that he should have been surprised. Moreover, the box office in the United States seems to have nothing to do with Hong Kong. You are a big box office video in the United States, but you may not be able to get more whistles in Hong Kong.

Just when the little devils are rampant in North America and no longer receive more attention in Hong Kong, the annual Spring Festival has arrived.

First, Jiahe Theater released an urban kung fu action comedy police story starring Cheng Long, Lin Qingxia and Zhang Manyu. There is Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia, one is a policeman and the other is the female secretary of a drug lord. These two people alone can attract a large number of fans and audiences.

Then on February 10, the lucky star high-light, one of the five lucky star series directed by Sammo Hung, was also released in Jiahe.

Because of the release of these two films, Jiahe had almost no other films scheduled at the same time, and all of them were given canvas for these two films.

Although the lucky star is a series of five lucky star movies, it has nothing to do with the previous work. Although several leading actors are basically there, they have already played another group of people.

The story tells the story of the third brother of the police (played by Lin Zhenge) swept up jewelry worth nearly 100 million yuan to Japan. Two detectives, Dalimaru (played by Cheng Long) and Vickey (played by Yuan Biao), followed and chased, but the third brother was still rescued by the Japanese underworld leader Matsumoto, and the two Chicken Bone Grass were also in crisis.

Due to public image restrictions, the Hong Kong police are unwilling to use local police force. Superintendent Cao (played by Cao Da) found the criminal Partridge (played by Sammo Hung), who was serving his sentence, hoping to use his power to extradite the third brother back to Hong Kong. Partridge then assembled friends from the orphanage, Citigan (played by Qin Xianglin), Rhinoceros (played by Feng Suifan), Dasheng Di (played by Wu Yaohan) and Luo Hanguo (played by Zeng Zhiwei). Under the coercion and inducement of Superintendent Cao, five jokes continued to embark on a journey to Japan with the female police detective Ba Wanghua.

In this movie, Cheng Long is not the protagonist, but he is not a supporting role, and he has quite a lot of scenes.

Cheng Long and Yuan Biao's scenes have increased a lot compared to the first part. This time, the Five Fortune Stars moved the lively stage to Japan. In order to cater to the heroic "Sex" of several brothers, the heroine this time was replaced by the same beautiful female policewoman Overlord Flower (Hu Huizhong). On the way, the five people were very attentive to Overlord Flower, hoping to win the favor of the beautiful women and each made a strange move. The film is full of jokes and many tricks.

In the final desperate battle, Partridge Nao and Dalimaru successfully defeated their opponents. The muscular and hard-working girl faced by Bawanghua was very powerful. Bawanghua's legs were kicked so hard that she could not stand and was knocked hard in the stomach. In the end, Partridge Nao beat the girl to death, and the Five Fortune Stars won a great victory.

The story is as old-fashioned as ever, and has no novelty and has big logical loopholes. But I have to say that the audience likes to watch some jokes, but they don’t like it when watching movies.

Therefore, the several art films released at the same time that were released on the same period that were big and wanted to bet on big things was praised by the critics, but they turned into rotten leaves in the mouths of non-professional people.

In the fight between nonsensical humor and Qi Xiaofu, a pure Japanese geisha performance suddenly penetrated into it, which felt quite wonderful;

After arriving at the horror playground, the set soundtrack has already gained the essence of Japanese-style beauty;

Finally, the fierce fighting is very consistent with the characteristics of this era. The ultimate fighting at the end is also a mixture of Hong Kong and Japan, which is refreshing. Sammo Hung suddenly punched and turned the Japanese-style killing into Hong Kong-style hilariousness, hahahaha!

The day after the police story was released, the box office and the reputation of ordinary viewers who have watched the movies basically maintained a positive proportional growth trend.

The box office on the first day reached 3.8 million, which was directly surpassed the entire street of Shaw Brothers films released more than 20 days earlier.

But the films on Shaw Brothers are actually not bad. The plot tells the story of the Kapok robe in the late Ming Dynasty.

The uprising teams all raised the Shaolin flag. Wang Cheng, the general manager of the Jinyiwei, regarded Shaolin Temple as a thorn in his eyes. He instructed his minions Qi Tianyuan to cut his hair into a monk and falsely passed the imperial edict, ordering Qi to be the host of Shaolin Temple, and then stir up trouble in the temple, and then was attacked by the hero Huineng.

The model of "Kapok Robe" is similar to "Shaolin Temple", but it is well-made, with scenes spanning the northern part of the Passerby, Central Plains and Wudang Mountain, and the cast and crew lineup are also extremely strong. The director is Xu Xiaoming, who became famous in the mainland for his "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia". He can sing, play, act, and direct, and is known as an "all-round artist".

The actor is played by national martial arts champion Xu Xiangdong, who is famous for his "Eagle Claw Fist". The heroine is Tai Chi champion Lin Qiuping, and the villain starred by Yu Rongguang, who later became the most popular action star. In addition, Qiao Feng's "Kamikaze Stunt Team" joined as a supporting actor. In comparison, even "Shaolin Temple" is slightly inferior.
