Chapter 382
Because of the extreme silence at the scene, this "Birthday Song" sounded very clear, and everyone heard it clearly.
Jackie Chan also whispered to Yuen Biao next to him: "Is this Adam Cheng and Liza Wang here?"
Yuen Biao: "A special surprise?"
Sammo Hung also thought that the original singer of this "Birthday Song" had come to celebrate his birthday, and he stretched his neck to look at the door.
At this moment, Ah Hu was panicked to death. He accidentally opened the music greeting card just now, and then the singing played automatically, and it was at the critical moment when the boss was about to speak.
However, just as he was about to turn it off, he dropped it on the ground because his hands were shaking, and he was picking it up on the ground now.
Sammo Hung didn't see any new guests and looked in the direction of the singing: "Is there anyone carrying a tape recorder?"
Ah Bao, who was usually reticent, said: "Boss, this is a birthday gift our brothers prepared for you."
Big Bear also stood up: "Yes, yes, yes."
Finally, Ah Hu finally closed the greeting card and stood up with a red face.
"What is it? Bring it over and let me see."
The three small minions walked to Sammo Hung, and the reporters who came to eat also took a photo.
The covers of the three greeting cards were posters of movies he had filmed. Sammo Hung picked up the one of "The Monk and the Rice Pounder". After opening it, the music played automatically. It was the Cantonese "Birthday Song". When closed, the sound stopped.
After opening the one of "Enter the Fat Dragon", it sang the English version of "Birthday Song".
The last one sang the Mandarin version of "Birthday Song": "Wish you a happy birthday."
Everyone looked fresh. They had never seen this kind of greeting card with music before. Sammo Hung looked at Jackie Chan: "Big Nose, you often go abroad and are well-informed. Do they have this kind of thing in the United States and Japan?"
Jackie Chan shook his head: "If there really were, my fans couldn't have not sent it to me."
Hearing this, the tiger, leopard, and bear were overjoyed. They didn't expect this to be a unique gift.
From then on, Sammo Hung can not only brag about being the first person in the Hong Kong entertainment industry to use a mobile phone, but also brag about being the first human to use a music greeting card.
Sammo Hung was also very happy. This thing shouldn't be very expensive. What's rare is that these three newcomers are very attentive. There are also their crooked blessing words in the greeting card. Fortunately, there is their own name behind it, otherwise Sammo Hung couldn't tell who is who. This belongs to the newly joined bottom-level martial arts actors, consumables that can be replaced at any time.
"Good, good, you three follow me tomorrow." Sammo Hung spoke. This is to personally promote the three young people.
This made other people in the Hung family class envious, and even a little angry. Usually, when the boss has a birthday, he gives us benefits. Now you three little bastards give the boss gifts. Doesn't it make us all heartless!
Countless resentful and hostile eyes were cast on the three, but they were in great joy and couldn't perceive it at all.
Afterwards, Sammo Hung made a speech, mentioning "The Prodigal Son" that everyone worked hard to complete. His words were full of optimism and expectations for the film, and he encouraged the company to create brilliance again in the new year, and then started eating and drinking amidst the cheers of friends and subordinates.
Jackie Chan specifically found Ah Hu and them and asked: "Where did you buy that music greeting card?"
He thought about buying it for his girlfriends in the future, which saves money and is convenient, and it seems attentive.
Ah Hu didn't dare to hide it: "This was prepared for us by a gentleman named Wei Ming."
"Wei Ming??"
"Yes."
Jackie Chan was overjoyed: "He came to Hong Kong! That's my friend!"
At this time, Jackie Chan's friend and Vivian Chow had already entered a Golden Harvest cinema.
Just now in the car, Mao Mao Amin had changed out of her school uniform. Of course, Wei Ming was not in the car, nor was he under the car. He was guarding Mao Mao Amin outside the car.
Now Golden Harvest has no films, so it uses this work of Blue Bird to challenge Shaw Brothers' "Red Powder in the Jianghu". This is a traditional martial arts film starring Michelle Yeoh, Chen Guantai, Yuen Tak, and Wai Tin-chi.
"Red Powder in the Jianghu" was released a day earlier, with a first-day box office of about 300,000. This kind of old-fashioned action film where you make a move and I make a move seems to have been unable to satisfy the audience. Now action films are the world of Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. Of course, kung fu films from the mainland also have the strength to fight.
Shu Kei, male, a famous film critic and founder of "Film Bi-Weekly". Yesterday, he had just watched "Red Powder in the Jianghu". It was meaningless. There was innovation in the plot, but the filming technique was too old-fashioned. He was even too lazy to write a film review for this movie. If it weren't for Gu Long's original work and Ni Kuang's adaptation, he would have been too lazy to watch it.
Today, after finishing the magazine affairs, he specifically ran to watch "Let's Make Laugh". The biggest motivation was the screenwriter Wei Ming.
In the first half of the year, "The Young Avenger", also created by him, broke the precedent of letting a little kid who loves to brag be the male lead of a martial arts film, which was indeed refreshing.
I don't know what fresh things he will bring this time.
Wei Ming didn't expect that he and the famous film critic were sitting in the same show, and the attendance rate of this show was quite high. Before entering, he asked the ticket seller, saying that "Let's Make Laugh" sold well during the day.
Of course, it was just good, not yet to the point of being hot.
The film just started with the male lead Kenny Bee, who is a rookie policeman, messing up the errand and being scolded by his boss Tan Tan Yonglin. The original version of this film is Shaw Brothers, and the person playing this role is Wong Jing.
Then the male lead was miserably stepped on two boats by his girlfriend. The person playing his girlfriend is Angie Chiu. In the original timeline, this role was a guest appearance by Anita Mui, with few scenes and not likable.
And the guest appearance on Angie Chiu's other boat is Leslie Cheung. The actor who played the wealthy husband of the heroine is Lin Lin Zixiang, who filmed it before going to Hainan to film "Boat People". Although Wei Ming didn't collect their lyric and music fees, it wasn't completely without benefits. This lineup can be considered light luxury.
If Wei Ming had known earlier that he found Angie Chiu, he would definitely have suggested that she play the heroine. What a standard amorous young woman! He even wanted to play the male lead, or let Joey Wong play the male lead~
With the explosion of "Let Everything Go with the Wind", Kenny Bee's popularity in the music scene finally narrowed the distance with Tan Tan Yonglin. And this time, in addition to the guest appearance, Tan Tan Yonglin also helped him sing an interlude. Anthony Chan, one of the Wynners, also played an important role.
The high attendance rate on the first day and the actor lineup that can be considered a gimmick are also an important reason.
Because Wei Ming had already watched it once, he was not focused on watching it. He was more looking at the reactions of the surrounding audience.
This cinema is not too far from Holiland. A couple even brought a Holiland family bucket in. The two ate a crispy chicken leg for a while, and a spicy chicken wing for a while. The fragrance drifted far away. Wei Ming regretted not buying a bucket in advance and could only chew popcorn and drink cola.
Film critic Shu Kei was in the row in front of Wei Ming. It's a pity that he didn't know what this famous Shu Kei looked like. If it were another Shu Qi, he would definitely recognize her. Even if she took off her clothes and covered her face, he would recognize her.
In addition to watching the audience, Wei Ming also observed Mao Mao Amin's reaction. She watched it very intently. After all, this is Mao Mao Amin's first romance film, but this seems to be a romance film with a married woman, a taboo love!
However, it looks very relaxed. The male lead is silly. Mao Mao Amin, who also knows Kenny Bee, said that he is not this kind of person at all, so he acted really well.
And Tan Tan Yonglin, Anthony Chan, Leslie Cheung, and Lin Lin Zixiang are all acquaintances Mao Mao Amin met while attending concerts. Her connections in the entertainment industry were all established through Mao Mao Amin. Watching familiar people act has a unique fun.
Joey Wong can't be considered a great beauty, and her skin is dark, but she acted really well. Mao Mao Amin confirmed in her heart that she wouldn't act. There is a drama club in the school, and she feels that acting is so difficult.
The romance scenes of the two protagonists are very delicate, and they are progressive, reasonable, and full of laughter.
As the relationship between the two gradually eased, the heroine encountered trouble again. Her parents wanted to come from abroad to see her and her husband, and this marriage had not received the consent and blessings of her parents before.
In order to deal with her parents, the heroine Naidong asked the male lead Yang Du to pretend to be her husband to muddle through. She didn't want her current embarrassment to be seen by her parents.
So the relationship between the two warmed up further, and they even helplessly slept in the same bed, and Yang Du's honesty and kindness also won the approval of her parents, who agreed and blessed their marriage.
Watching the relationship between the two continue to warm up, Mao Mao Amin couldn't help but hold Wei Ming's hand, and the two fingers intertwined.
Hmph, you don't even know how to be active, so I have to do it myself. Mao Mao Amin's love is domineering.
However, Mao Mao Amin was a little panicked by the next scene, because the male and female leads were going to bed.
I thought it would be "after one night" after kissing, but I didn't expect the director to film it in detail, which made Mao Mao Amin blush, but she still held his hand tightly.
Although there was no exposure like the original version, Director Patrick Tam filmed it even more excitingly than exposure, and he was able to film Joey Wong, who had dark skin and a flat figure, so alluringly. The whole audience held their breath, and some couples even kissed publicly.
Mao Mao Amin also wanted to, but she knew that Mao Mao Amin had principles and was very restrained, so after some ideological struggle, she put Mao Mao Amin's hand on her leg to comfort herself.
There is an old saying in Hong Kong: Philip Ko's fist, Vivian Chow's leg, both are lethal weapons!
Fortunately, Mao Mao Amin was wearing pants, which was equivalent to putting this sharp sword into the scabbard, and the lethality was reduced a lot.
Fortunately, this passage finally passed, but the two who had a breakthrough in their relationship became more awkward, and the heroine had a sense of guilt.
However, with the appearance of a group of strong men, kidnapping the heroine in the villa, the story became relaxed and happy again.
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
"What is the spraying water behind!"
The male lead heard the heroine's cry for help in a daze. At this time, he was wandering outside, and a heroic rescue of beauty in the style of Shaw Brothers martial arts films appeared in his mind.
Kenny Bee and Joey Wong changed into ancient costumes. B-Gor was dressed in white and held a long sword. However, this segment was for comedy, so it would magnify the style of Shaw Brothers martial arts films. Wei Ming felt that Director Patrick Tam filmed it better than the original version, with denser laughter, and the whole audience laughed non-stop. It was probably the kind of "Peerless Master Lu Xiaoyu".
Never expected that Shaw Brothers martial arts could also be made into a comedy style.
Even Shu Kei, who is not very interested in comedy films, because he happened to watch a typical old-fashioned Shaw Brothers martial arts film yesterday, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud when watching this segment, even more exaggerated than watching "Security Unlimited" at the beginning of the year.
Just because of this, Shu Kei felt that he also had to write a film review for this movie, and he wanted to find Joey Wong to shoot the cover for the next issue of "Film Bi-Weekly". This woman acted too well, and she looked so young.
