Chapter 115: 0114 [Buy Out "One-Armed Swordsman"! 】

Wan Chai, Causeway Bay.

This is one of the most developed areas in Hong Kong. Not only are there many department stores, but there are also many movie theaters. During the day, many people work in the company, and at night they all come out for entertainment.

"Selling curry fish balls!"

“Crispy and delicious sausage!”

“Fragrant Fried Beef River!”

On the side of the road, from time to time, there were loud shouts from vendors.

Those young men and women who got off work gathered together in twos and threes, ate fish balls, chewed fat intestines, and their faces were full of happy smiles.

Shi Zhijian was dressed in a brand-new suit, and walked down the street gracefully.

Those beautiful company girls, as well as the pretty women standing at the neon lights waiting for business, cast ambiguous glances at him from time to time.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and women are no exception.

But when the eyes of these women shifted from Shi Zhijian to Shi Yufeng next to him, they felt a little contemptuous, thinking that it's a pity that such a pretty boy is with a cripple? Why is there a little girl? Could it be a couple?

"Your mother, this is my younger brother!"

Shi Yufeng was perceptive, and immediately saw the meaning in these women's eyes, and then she couldn't stop cursing.

"It's fun when you come out to play, why are you losing your temper?" Shi Zhijian bought a candy figurine and handed it to Bao'er, which made Bao'er giggle.

"It's because they saw that my eyes were wrong, so they scolded me first with their eyes!"

"You are sharp, and you can tell if you scold you with your eyes?"

"I've seen this a lot!" Shi Yufeng said, "I haven't seen any eyes since I was limping, and I know what it means just by looking at it."

Shi Zhijian fell silent, Shi Yufeng's leg was lame because of him.

"Hey, I understand your look! Don't have any psychological burden. I saved you voluntarily. It was my bad luck to have my tendon cut off! If you do this again, I will be angry!"

Shi Zhijian hurriedly put his arms around the elder sister's shoulders, "Listen to you, we are all happy! Now, watch the movie first!"

...

Hong Kong films in this era were almost monopolized by Shaw Brothers.

Since Lu Yuntao, a generation of film tycoon, passed away in an accident three years ago, there are not many film companies that can compete with Shaw Brothers.

Now Shaw Brothers is the only one in the Hong Kong film industry, producing more than 200 films a year, and is forming a huge film empire.

The "New Stage Cinema" in Causeway Bay is very lively tonight. There are various snacks at the entrance, as well as balloons, toys, and flowers.

In the long movie hall of the cinema hall, there are various hand-painted movie posters, such as the big stars of this era Li Qi, Xie Yuan, Cao Dahua, Chen Baozhu, Xiao Fangfang, Xue Jiayan, Feng Baobao, etc., many big stars appear on the poster.

Three new movies will be released tonight, namely the first domestic 007 film "Tieguanyin", Liaozhai's adaptation of "Chain", and "Heavenly Sword and Sword" starring Chen Baozhu, in which she plays the leading role "Zuo Shaobai".

This play was adapted from Wo Longsheng's martial arts novel, and Shaw Brothers bought the film adaptation copyright. It took only 20 days to complete the filming, and the response was overwhelming after it was released.

Shi Yufeng is a die-hard fan of Chen Baozhu, and her family has collected a lot of personal posters and gossip magazines about Chen Baozhu, but she seldom watches movies because movie tickets are too expensive.

This "Heavenly Sword and Sword" has been released for a month, and many people have already seen it. Shi Yufeng also went to listen to the story told many times, but she was never willing to spend money to buy a ticket to watch it.

Tonight, Shi Zhijian helped the elder sister realize her dream. Two adult tickets and one child ticket cost a total of 12.5 yuan.

Shi Yufeng saw Shi Zhijian handing money to the conductor. Even though she is now a rich little woman with 30,000 Hong Kong dollars in her possession, she still couldn't help but feel pain.

After Shi Zhijian bought the ticket for her, she nagged Shi Zhijian wasted money, and said that she didn't like watching movies very much, and the movies were good to listen to, but they were really bad to watch.

...

Inside the cinema.

Shi Yufeng, who just said that Shi Zhijian wasted money and that the movie was not good, sat on a chair, fisted with both hands, looking so nervous that she wanted to prop up her eyelids with a matchstick. fall.

Bao'er also looked at the big screen curiously, completely attracted by the martial arts scenes on it.

Only Shi Zhijian yawned discordantly.

Because this drama has been released for more than a month, not many people bought tickets to enter the theater tonight.

Many people who like to watch movies come here to finish their addiction as early as a month ago. Only a stingy woman like Shi Yufeng can appreciate "such a masterpiece" so late.

Of course, in Shi Zhijian's eyes, "such a masterpiece" is inferior to the advertisements in his previous life.

This drama is not only monotonous in color, but also boring, especially the fake fighting scenes that can no longer be faked can only be described as funny.

The only thing that interests Shi Zhijian is that there is a future old actor "Zeng Jiang" in this movie, but at this time Zeng Jiang is still a handsome boy, and the role he plays is also a very decent character, which makes Shi Zhijian feel very unsuitable .

Just as Shi Zhijian was yawning and drowsy, there was a conversation behind him.

"Shaw Brothers has made a lot of money recently, so many new movies are released!"

"There are also those who lose money. The investment of two to three hundred thousand yuan in a play, if the box office is not good, it will lose money!"

"Shaw's productions must be high-quality products, so what kind of bad movies can there be?"

"That's not necessarily the case! I heard that Shaw Brothers is investing in a play called "The One-Armed Swordsman" recently. The director Zhang Che challenged Boss Shao and even hired an unknown newcomer Wang Yu to play the leading role. To vomit blood!"

Big movies of this era usually use big stars for big investments. This time Shaw Brothers filmed "The One-Armed Swordsman", Boss Shaw liked the big star Chen Guantai as the leading actor, but director Zhang Che wanted to use newcomer Wang Yu. People are not optimistic, including Boss Shao himself.

When Shi Zhijian heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and even the sleepy bug who had just climbed up the bridge of his nose was startled away.

Shi Zhijian originally heard what Xu Shixun and Xu Sanshao said before, and planned to go to Shaw Brothers to sponsor and advertise his instant noodle brand, but now he heard the movie "One-armed Swordsman", and suddenly had a new idea.

Others don't know, but he, Shi Zhijian, knows very well that "The One-Armed Swordsman" is simply the dark horse of Shaw Brothers since its establishment! It is also the first Shaw Brothers movie to officially exceed one million box office!

The director of this play is Zhang Che, and the screenwriter is Ni Kuang. Ni Kuang wrote this play and directly learned from Jin Yong's "The Legend of Condor Heroes". .

This film was unknown before its release, but it became an overnight hit thanks to word of mouth after it was released, with a box office of more than one million. Zhang Che won the title of "Million Director", and Wang Yu became a martial arts superstar.

Shi Zhijian's heart became hot.

Instead of engaging in movie sponsorship and enhancing your own brand reputation, why not just buy out the movie?

It can not only help the brand to promote, but also make a lot of money!

Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian has already made a decision——

Shaw Brothers tomorrow!

Buy out "One Armed Sword"!
