Before "The Deadly Express" was released, many Jackie Chan's fans were worried that "The Deadly Express" would become the second "The Killer's Trench", and believed that a strong director would erase Jackie Chan's movie characteristics.But director Kang Jianfei is obviously very sensible about this. After watching "The Deadly Express", you will find that the familiar Jackie Chan is still on the screen, but he has gone from a kung fu boy to a former Flying Tiger team member living in seclusion overseas.
The story in the movie takes place in Italy. The way the heroine Brigitte Lin appears is eye-catching, and the opening Her saves beauty drama is not a rude, because Meiren Lin is not a weak person this time...
From the overall perspective of the movie, Jackie Chan is the well-deserved protagonist, and the director has therefore reduced the number of appearances in Brigitte Lin, which makes the whole movie more distinct.
As for the appearance of Sophie Marceau's kiss, the weak and slim mafia princess image has captured many Hong Kong movie fans.
As for the performances of several professional boxing champions, it adds a lot of color to the action scenes of the film. The super realistic and sharp punches and foot movements, combined with Jackie Chan's funny and mesmerizing fights, can be said to be complementary and perfect, making the action scenes of the whole film feel refreshing and laughing...
Although Chen Bosen believes that "The Deadly Express" did not meet his psychological expectations, the reviews he wrote in "The Movie Biweekly" are still praised throughout the article.
It’s not that Chen Bosen said good things to Kang Jianfei against his conscience, but that this movie is really not bad, and it is almost perfect and flawless in terms of plot, acting, camera, recording, soundtrack, art, action design, etc.
"Deadly Express" is not only a top action movie in Hong Kong, but also one of the best movies in the international field.
However, "The Deadly Express" is just a commercial action film and has no ideological and artistic connotation.
Even making sacrifices to accommodate Jackie Chan, Brigitte Lin and Sophie Marceau don’t have much room to play in their acting skills. The biggest selling point of the whole film is Jackie Chan’s humorous action scenes.
The soaring box office is the audience's greatest recognition of "Fatal Express". The joint screening of the two theaters has made the number of releases sufficient. "Fatal Express" only has a huge crowd in theaters in some prime locations, and the sustainable box office growth is still too strong.
It won more than 4.6 million yuan on the first day, but still recorded 3.37 million yuan on the second day, and the single-day box office on the third day was 2.48 million yuan.
In other words, "The Deadly Express" had a box office of over 10 million in just three days, which made everyone in the Hong Kong film industry look at it.
Unfortunately, the audience base in Hong Kong is too small. After three consecutive days of box office revenue, the number of viewers of "Deadly Express" has dropped rapidly.
In addition, the Christmas holiday has passed, and the box office in the next few days has only barely exceeded 1 million in a single day.
The box office of "Deadly Express" was a little short of 15 million in the first week, but New Year's Day was ushered in this time, and the single-day box office rebounded to more than 2 million.
After the holidays on New Year's Day, "The Deadly Express" has been released for two weeks, and the cumulative box office in Hong Kong has reached 23.04 million.
By this time the box office peak had passed, and the New Era theaters and Jiahe theaters reduced the number of releases again. The single-day box office of "Deadly Express" fell to about 800,000, and it was gradually decreasing.
Four weeks after "The Deadly Express" was released, the cumulative box office finally exceeded 30 million mark, and at the same time, only a few theaters left in the two major theaters are releasing the film.
However, after the first round of screenings, some small theaters purchased copies at low prices and were preparing to hold a second round of screenings around the New Year. It is estimated that the second round of screenings will still be sold for two or three million yuan.
Another Hong Kong film had a box office of over 30 million, which was a major event in the Hong Kong film industry. Before Zou Wenhuai could finish the film, he held a celebration banquet for the crew to celebrate the box office.
The protagonists of the celebration banquet were naturally Jiahe and Jackie Chan, and Kang Jianfei became supporting roles.
Just like Zou Wenhuai made a good plan at the beginning, if this movie succeeded in the box office, it would naturally be Jackie Chan's transformation masterpiece, and it could also take the opportunity to push Jackie Chan to the Western market.
Once the box office fails, the infamy will be remembered by director Kang Jianfei, because the director made the film miserable.
Jiahe hurriedly held a celebration banquet, and also invited Kang Jianfei and many other artists and employees. Such kindness made Kang Jianfei unable to attend, so he could only go to the banquet to be a supporting role.
The celebration banquet is set up at Fulinmen Restaurant, where the consumption here is more expensive.
When Kang Jianfei appeared in the arms of Brigitte Lin, he was dazzled by a flash as soon as he opened the car door.
Needless to ask, most of these reporters were invited by Jiahe, and Zou Wenhuai was preparing to let Jackie Chan show off.
Mr. Kang, what are you going to make in the next movie?
Ms. Lin, I heard that when filming "The Deadly Express", Mr. Kang booked the entire hotel restaurant to celebrate your birthday. Do you have any plans to get married?
Miss Lin, are you confident that you will nominate for the Best Actress Award at this Academy Awards with "Deadly Express"?
……
The reporter asked the two questions while chasing each other. Kang Jianfei just smiled and escorted Brigitte Lin into the restaurant. It took him a long time to get rid of the reporter's entanglement.
These reporters were not expecting any news to be interviewed. It was enough to take photos of the two holding hands. When they saw the next star coming, they immediately rushed over to interview again.
Pan Yingzi got off the car from an extended version of Lincoln, but followed by Stephen Chow and Ye Zimèi.
She is not as simple as a celebrity now. Since Oriental Entertainment Company grew rapidly, Pan Yingzi, who became the general manager, has become a hot figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
The more than 100 well-known and famous signing stars under Oriental Entertainment Company are enough to make Pan Yingzi extremely influential, and the bosses of independent film companies have to be careful to serve them.
The reporters' attention to Pan Yingzi is not much smaller than Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin. A flash of light shook so that Ye Zi, who had never seen a big scene, lost her appearance.
Of course, the reporter noticed Stephen Chow and Ye Zimèi who accompanied Pan Yingzi to the banquet. Stephen Chow was famous when he was a host, and then filmed the popular drama "He comes from the Jianghu", and his fame quickly rose.
Although Ye Zimèi is a new face, her 36-inch boobs' big breasts and a 21-inch water snake waist are enough to make reporters ignore whether she is famous.
This is an era when plastic surgery has not yet formed a trend, and most celebrities are purely natural.Where has anyone seen such a terrifying measurement of 36/21/35?
Why did Pan Yingzi bring Stephen Chow and an unknown Boba to the banquet instead of Stephen Chow and his partner Mao Shunjun?
Professional habits make reporters instantly have infinite associations, but more reporters asked directly: Manager Pan, what is the name of this beautiful woman next to you?
When Pan Yingzi responded openly when facing the reporter's question.
Since Jiahe held a celebration banquet to steal the limelight from DreamWorks, Pan Yingzi's task this time was to take the opportunity to promote the company's new films and newcomers. She held Ye Zimèi's hand and said: This is Ye Zimèi, a newcomer that our Oriental Entertainment Company promotes. She is the heroine of Mr. Kang's next movie.
Mr. Kang's new heroine?!
There was an uproar and surprise at the entrance of the Fulinmen Restaurant, and then all the cameras were pointed at Ye Zimèi, pressing the shutter and shooting continuously.
Ye Zimèi's grades in the training class are not very good, and he has only been to the supporting role so far.
Inexplicably, she was notified to be the heroine of Kang Jianfei's new film. This time she was brought to the celebration banquet by Pan Yingzi. She felt like she was in a beautiful dream. At this time, she faced the reporter with a stiff smile like a puppet, and couldn't even say a word.
The reporters originally wanted to interview Ye Zimèi, but seeing that she was completely stupid, they had to turn to ask Pan Yingzi and said: Miss Pan, is the name of Mr. Kang's new film convenient to reveal?Who is the protagonist of the new film?
I won’t talk about the title for the time being, but the male protagonist is the one next to me.Pan Yingzi pointed at Stephen Chow with a smile and said.
Hello, friends from reporters, I am Axing!Stephen Chow is much more generous than Ye Zi, and waves to the reporters very freely.
Before the reporters could ask again, Pan Yingzi said: Okay, we are here to have a banquet today, and we will talk about the new film later.
After the three of them successfully got rid of the reporter, Ye Zimèi was still in a trance. When he went upstairs, he sprained his ankle and stood there in pain.
Pan Yingzi blamed: Why are you so careless?Beware of hurting your feet, Mr. Kang changed the actor temporarily.
Ye Zimèi was frightened when she heard this and quickly said: Manager Pan, I'm fine, I just sprained it.
Pan Yingzi admonished: Let’s be more relaxed in public places in the future. Haven’t the training class taught you how to deal with reporters?
Ye Zimèi couldn't help but lower his head and replied in a low voice: I was too nervous to see so many shots just now and I can't remember anything.
Stephen Chow helped smooth things over and said: It's okay, I won't be nervous if I experience it a few more times. I used to be a host.
Pan Yingzi didn't say anything anymore and took the two to the main hall of the celebration banquet.As soon as she appeared, many small company bosses and directors immediately came over to get close to each other, which was more popular than Sammo Hung and others.
Pan Yingzi dealt with these people, but looked at Kang Jianfei.
Although she didn't mind Kang Jianfei had other women, Pan Yingzi was still jealous when she saw Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin standing intimately together.
It was not just Pan Yingzi who was jealous, but the five girls in the Happy Girls group all wanted to show their love to Kang Jianfei at this time.
Fortunately, Rosamund Kwan is not here, otherwise this girl would definitely come up to make trouble, and maybe there will be a good show of two women competing for their husbands at the celebration banquet.
