1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 383 Hong Kong ranks third in annual box office!

During the show, Xia Tian and Cai Lan were discussing food, and he suddenly raised a finger: I have an idea, let’s draw a cartoon about Chinese food, let’s call it “The Cooking Master Boy”!
There are also some classic clips in the trailer, such as Xia Tian showing off his fancy shuffling skills and chopping cans with flying cards.

And said that classic line~
"Nine out of ten gamblers are scams, and not gambling is the best way to win. I have an incompatible relationship with gambling and drugs! I am truly a saint at the gambling table, and people call me the Gambling Saint!" (Grouper tone~)

There are also classic clips of catching flies in the summer, bursting cans of beer with one hand, and practicing drunken swordplay.

"From seven steps away, the gun is fast. From seven steps away, the gun is accurate and fast! How can you become a master if you have a gun but don't use martial arts?"

“Time is like cleavage, if you squeeze it there’s always some.”

There was also Xia Tian, ​​a female voice, with orchid fingers, and she said to A Rong with a charming face: "Sir, is my singing good to your ears?" A Rong was so scared that he kept shouting "There's a ghost!"
A few lines of "Song of the Wine" sung by Xia Tian and a few lines of "Chi Le Chuan" were also edited into the trailer!

What can I say? ATV’s editing team is also well aware of this, and has edited many highlights into the trailer.

However, because it was broadcast randomly over three days, with 20 to 30 segments of about 10 to 20 seconds each, few viewers could watch them all.

Everyone was communicating with each other: Hey, haven’t you seen that part?
As a result, everyone's curiosity became even stronger! I really want to see the full movie!

On the last day, the ATV program team even published:

"After ten months of work, this program has finally reached its peak!"

"Going against our ancestors' decision - a super two-hour special!"

Waiting for the title!
Traditional art~
At this time, the audience had already been caught by black carp after three days of baiting. They were looking forward to it and jumping to the water surface!
Audience: Is this the Tianerzi in the newspaper? He speaks so funny!
Audience: Hmm, this sentence makes sense! It makes so much sense!
Audience: So cool! Isn't this swordplay so cool? It's not even this cool in the movies!
Audience: I've seen his movie, it's super bad, okay? It's still showing now, go watch it!
Audience: It’s getting bigger! I want to learn this!

Audience: Can you make public the boxing technique that can maintain the condition, so as to benefit the people?

Then, the show aired.

……

At 8 o'clock on Saturday night, in the backstage of ATV, the "Tonight Without Defense" program crew and relevant managers were waiting.

Originally this program was a late night show and was supposed to start at almost ten o'clock.

But today's program is special, with more than two hours, so it was moved forward to 8:05 - squeezing out another program.

There are still two minutes before the official broadcast, but countless Hong Kong viewers have already turned their televisions to Asia Television.

Even many viewers who originally didn't watch ATV much but watched TVB made an exception and switched to ATV.

Audience: Damn, no matter whether it is good or bad, I must watch this episode! I want to see if it is really so magical!
Can it grow bigger? Really?!
At noon the next day, the staff who specialized in counting the audience ratings were still making phone calls to investigate user data, while ATV had already started receiving many calls from viewers - asking ATV to replay last night's episode of "Tonight Without Defense".

These people didn't see the show yesterday for some reason.

And now, this program has become a hot topic among relatives and friends, and it seems that I can’t keep up with the times?

"Replay! You guys are going to replay it anyway, so what if it's a few hours early? No? You're screwed~"

A more intuitive ratings performance is shown in the box office of "The Hitman's Bodyguard".

At this point, the movie had been released for more than 20 days, the peak attendance had passed, and the box office had reached 20 million, which was pretty impressive.

However, the attendance this Sunday morning has suddenly returned to the level when the movie was first released.

Tickets for some popular shows are even unavailable!
The popularity of the show "Guardless Tonight" has boosted the box office of "The Hitman's Bodyguard"!

When Hong Jinbao got the news in the afternoon, he was stunned for several seconds: Is this even possible?!
Then he quickly went to find Golden Harvest's boss, Zou Daheng. After looking at the data and reports, Zou Daheng immediately decided: to extend the release time of "The Hitman's Bodyguard"!
This movie has the potential to be among the top three in the annual box office!
Now A-Long's "Miracle" has basically secured the first place. If he can get another place, he will definitely surpass his old boss Shao Liushu.

Although Uncle Shao Liu has been suppressed again and again, Zou Daheng still wants to suppress him!
What makes Uncle Shao even more depressed is that this weird program has actually affected the overall ratings of his own radio station - now many of his loyal viewers have temporarily switched to watching TV on ATV!
……

Summer didn't care about movies and shows anymore.

He didn't care much about it before because the passion had passed and there were still many things to do.

What's more, the layout in Japan has been in full swing recently. Every now and then, we can see a few rich second-generations and some professional traders.

I also have to read a lot of information and study hard - you really can learn as long as you live!

That afternoon he finally had some time to go shopping with Aying and buy some things.

Xia Tian gave her a bank card with 500,000 yuan in it before, but Aying didn't spend much.

Instead, he used her money to buy groceries, daily necessities, and fill up his car with gas...which made Xia Tian feel like he was a gigolo, and the kind who was living off his wife!

This time when shopping in the mall, Xia Tian hopes to buy her something, jewelry, clothes, bags, etc.

However, Aying just looked and did not buy. Finally, after Xia Tian’s constant persuasion, she just bought a set of underwear and a swimsuit with a blushing face.

However, what they didn't expect was that they were now also stars - although Aying was a TVB actor before, there were many such people in Hong Kong, and everyone was used to seeing them. But now, Xia Tian and Aying are really popular.

So, in the shopping mall, Xia Tian was blocked by people.

If it's a paparazzi, it would be okay to give Xia Tian some face, invite him to drink an ice drink, chat with him, and answer some questions.

As long as everyone is happy and I am fine, that's all.

But this time, it was a large number of fans who blocked the way! Most of them were women!

To be honest, I really don’t know how to deal with summer.

Although being in Yanjing is the dream of three million Yanjing girls, my hometown is simple and conservative after all. Even if I meet him on the street, they will just stare at him from a distance at most.

Few people dare to come up and chat with me, let alone a group of people blocking me and asking for my autograph, then praising me for this and that.

This is considered meeting a fanatical fan!
The girls in Hong Kong almost took off their coats and asked him to sign on them.
It's not easy for you to just run away from a group of female fans, let alone chase them away.

Seeing that the mall was about to be blocked, several security guards were sweating anxiously. Xia Tian could only cope with it reluctantly and try to get them to disperse.

Xia Tian had the expression of a warm and handsome man and said a lot of nice things, finally coaxing these people to disperse.

As a result, when the show was over, there was still a female fan who seemed very dissatisfied with Aying who had been holding Xia Tian's arm, and she shouted sarcastically: "Aying, you are so lucky to have met Brother Tianer!"

Because of the sudden deaths of her two exes, Aying is particularly sensitive about fate and destiny.

Aying: "Yes, I think so too." Her smile was a little forced.

Xia Tian felt that her grip on his arm had tightened a little.

Xia Tian put his arm around Aying's waist and said to the people who were dispersing with a smile: "It's not that Aying is lucky, it's that I am lucky! It's my luck to meet her~"

After saying that, he kissed Aying on the cheek.

I don’t know if it was this sentence or the kiss that made Aying’s face as red as an apple and her eyes sparkle.

Soon, the paparazzi's reports appeared in the newspapers.

It is said that in the summer, shopping malls were blocked by fanatical female fans who wanted autographs on their chests.

There are also reports that "The Hitman's Bodyguard" has made a comeback at the box office, once again topping the single-day record, and Golden Harvest has decided to extend its release.

There are also people saying that an ATV internal employee revealed the inside story of the recording of "Tonight Without Defense"...

In short, summer is hot again!

Moreover, the tenth episode of "Unguarded Tonight" was actually replayed four times at the request of the audience!

It is said that at least one-fifth of the people in Hong Kong have seen it!

Nowadays, when we talk and chat, we often say things like "so that the children can have enough food to eat" and "Time is like a groove, you can always have some if you squeeze it."

I wonder if summer will be mentioned when someone compiles the hottest memes of the year in the future?
"The Hitman's Bodyguard" was released for more than twenty days, and on October 10, the movie "A Better Tomorrow 20" was released.

The protagonist of this movie is naturally Chow Yun-fat, and the other actors include Gu Mei and Liang Jiahui.

The full name of this movie is "A Better Tomorrow 3: Sunset Song".

Mei Gu has a lot of scenes in this film, and even the narrative perspective is mostly based on her. The story is set in the occupied Annan Monkey, and the director is Xu Ke, so this is not surprising.

Xu is a Chinese from Annam who came here and is good at photographing women.

Xia Tian naturally had to go and show his support to give face to Aunt Mei and Ah Hui.

He went there with Aying, and was greeted by the three leading actors - except for Chow Yun-fat, who had a cold attitude and didn't seem to like them very much.

I guess the other two are Xia Tian’s good friends, so they came to the door to greet him, and he felt embarrassed if he didn’t come. He felt like he lost points if he came~
Xia Tian was too lazy to pay attention to him and didn't talk to him much, but he did get to know Old Monster Xu by the way.

Old Monster Xu seemed quite interested in Xia Tian and talked a lot about things like getting bigger and using boxing techniques to maintain form.

Of course, Xia Tian felt that it must be him who aroused Xu Laoguai's passion for martial arts, and it must not be about men's sexuality...right?!
On October 10, "The Hitman's Bodyguard" was taken off the screen, completing the handover with "A Better Tomorrow 21".

The movie "The King's Bodyguard" was released for 42 days and grossed 3110 million, second only to Jackie Chan's "Miracle" and Wong Jing's "Family Fun", and currently ranks third in Hong Kong's annual box office.

Fatty Hong finally made a comeback and he even walked with gusto, and he wanted to hold a celebration party!
