Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong - Chapter 1173

In addition to inheriting the gentlemanly demeanor of their ancestors, the British in this era also pursued romantic freedom.

Film culture has always been prosperous as a carrier for the British to pursue freedom.

There are more than 1,800 cinemas in the British Isles, and the British people love watching movies as much as they love oo7 James Bond.

It can be said that in the 1970s when the global economy was developing, the most prosperous European film market besides American Hollywood was the British market, and this phenomenon continued until the early 1990s, when British films were finally replaced by French films. , becoming the number one in Europe.

There is no such thing as a movie schedule for British movies in this era. British people also like to watch movies on holidays. Basically, the whole family is dispatched together, and watching movies is as lively as a festival.

In the face of such a simple British audience, Shi Zhijian is going to teach them a lesson and let them know what a “summer stall” is!

July 15, 1972.

Newspapers all over the UK have published a news in the entertainment section that Shinhwa Entertainment Films’ first summer horror film “Blair the Witch” is about to be released nationwide!

The advertising slogan is also very sharp —-

“The Times”: “This summer, let you sweat!”

Daily England: “Watching ‘Blair the Witch’ gives you the creepy feeling!”

If it is said that these simple advertisements cannot mobilize the desire of the British people to watch movies, then Shi Zhijian’s “shameless marketing” at the funeral of the Duke of Windsor is well known!

“Have you heard that this play is the last wish of the Duke of Windsor. He likes to watch horror movies very much!”

“Yeah, I heard that part of the box office of this play will be donated to the Windsor Fund!”

“In order to fulfill his old man’s last wish, we must donate a movie ticket!”

These are the inner reactions of those ordinary people.

And those nobles who participated in the funeral were directly “morally kidnapped” by Shi Zhijian—-the movie tickets have been stuffed to you, or you won’t give face if you don’t come!

Even if Shi Zhijian is an ordinary person, he is a new count. No matter how disgusted these aristocrats are, they should give him some face.

However, these aristocratic bosses are not vegetarians. Shi Zhijian put them together, and they began to spread rumors outside, saying that Shi Zhijian’s relationship with the deceased Duke of Windsor was unclear!

It is said that the Duke of Windsor went to Hong Kong when he was young and met a beautiful sea singer in Hong Kong. The amorous Duke of Windsor fell in love with him and wrote a love story!

And Shi Zhijian is the bloodline left by the Duke of Windsor in Hong Kong. To be precise, he is the descendant of the Duke of Windsor. Otherwise, Shi Zhijian could not have become a famous Chinese Earl of the British Empire by himself, and it is even more impossible to film this horror film for the completion of the Duke of Windsor’s last wish. The film, described in one sentence, Shi Zhijian has the royal blood of the British Empire!

There are even rumors that Shi Zhijian came to the UK from Hong Kong this time to secretly compete for the inheritance of the Duke of Windsor.

If it wasn’t for Shi Zhijian’s looks too Chinese, with black hair and black eyes, maybe the Duke of Windsor would have been established as the first heir after his death!

In the face of these rumors flying all over the sky, Shi Zhijian did not respond. Instead, on the day of the premiere, he bought the entire supplement of The Times and published a full-page advertisement on it.

The advertisement is simple and clear, and it directly prints a promotional poster for “Blair Witch”. The dark tones and the strange composition give people a strong visual impact. Yet?”

As soon as the advertisement came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions, because the idea of ​​using a full-page newspaper to promote the movie was definitely the first, and Shi Zhijian’s “summer vacation stall” was even more unheard of, which directly caused People are curious.

Shi Zhijian’s way of advertising the film has also attracted the attention of his British counterparts.

For many British film companies, it’s not that they didn’t think about buying a full-page newspaper to advertise their films, but they feel that it’s not cost-effective after calculating it. They feel that a lot of money has been spent on filming, and if it is so extravagant and wasteful on advertising , the cost of the movie will increase, and if the movie box office is not good, it will be a huge loss!

In fact, these film companies have fallen into a very interesting endless loop, wanting to box office and reluctant to advertise, but without huge investment in advertising, how can there be huge box office revenue?

Shi Zhijian came from the last life. In that era, during the period from filming to release, many film companies spent more than twice as much on announcements and distribution as they did in filming!

…

Razor Party headquarters in East London.

Kane Shelby is sitting behind his desk, holding today’s “The Times” to see the “Blair Witch” poster, with a weird smile on his face.

As his confidant, Duncan “Crocodile” stood in front of him, looked at him and said, “Mr. Kane, what’s the matter with you calling me here?”

Kane put down the newspaper in his hand and pointed to the poster: “Dear Duncan, do you like watching movies, such as horror movies?”

Duncan nodded. “Yes, I like it!”

Kane smiled: “What if you were a pig’s foot and played a horror movie tonight?”

“Uh, what do you mean?”

Kane didn’t answer directly, but stood up from behind the desk and walked to Duncan: “You know, everything I’m doing now is to rescue my brother.”

Duncan didn’t speak. He knew that during this period of time, Mr. Kane had spent a lot of effort to rescue his younger brother Tommy, but unfortunately the results were not very good.

“Now, I have a chance! To be precise, Mr. Downey gave me the opportunity. He asked me to deal with Shi Zhijian, and then he would help me get my brother Tommy out!” Kane reached out and put his hand on Duncan’s shoulder. : “Then you tell me, what should I do?”

Duncan glanced at the newspaper and said, “Mr. Kane, are you going to start tonight?”

Kane smiled and patted Duncan on the shoulder: “You are worthy of being the person I value the most, just a little bit! That’s right, I’m going to do it tonight! Think about it, tonight’s premiere is so grand, those aristocratic bosses They will all come to support Shi Zhijian, if there is an accident at the premiere…”

The corners of Duncan’s eyes twitched twice: “You want me… to kill and set fire at the premiere?”

“Oh no no no, that’s so uncivil and impolite! I’m not my brother Tommy who likes the smell of blood, my favorite smell is money!” Kane explained.

A stone fell in Duncan’s heart.

Although he is a villain, he also knows who can offend and who can’t. If he really kills and sets fire on such an occasion, I’m afraid his life will be over.

The tone was a little dry, “Then what do you want me to do, Mr. Kane?”

“How to do it? Robbery! Hijack those bigwigs and extort their money!” Kane said happily, “Just think about it, how spectacular would it be that the aristocratic bigwigs in the entire movie theater were robbed by us?”

Duncan’s eyelids jumped, he didn’t expect Kane to come up with such an idea, it was incredible.

“The plan is successful, all the money from the robbery belongs to you, I don’t want a penny!” Kane looked at Duncan’s eyes and said, “I only want one result, and that is to see Shi Zhijian unlucky! Think about it, so many nobles The boss was robbed under his nose, at his venue, at his premiere, even if he said it had nothing to do with him, would anyone believe it?!”

Duncan’s heart skipped a beat, the hairs on the back of his back stood up, killing people, but that’s all!

Kane is trying to ruin Shi Zhijian’s reputation!

“Is ten people enough for you? Does it feel a little less… Yes, there are so many tycoons and tycoons in such a large venue, then I will give you thirty people! Thirty people hijack the entire movie theater, just think about it Very exciting!” Kane said, walked to his desk, opened the drawer and took out a pistol, turned and handed it to Duncan “The Crocodile”: “This is the last gift I gave you—-the mission failed. , you know how to use it!”

…

Down Financial Group.

Inside the President’s Office.

Donnie Rothschild, the leader of the Apostolic Order, handed a glass of red wine to the distinguished guests he invited.

“Dear Commissioner Douglas, I hope the last incident did not affect the friendship between you and me!”

Douglas, the chief of the London Police, took the wine very politely: “God, Mr. Downey, I should have said this. I hope my reckless impulse didn’t make you angry last time!”

“How could that be? You’re just doing your duty.” Downey smiled, poured himself a glass of red wine, and said, shaking, “It was indeed the Shelby brothers who did something wrong last time, and to be precise, the madman. Boss Tommy did something wrong – his boss Kane just let him burn the warehouse, but he didn’t let him kill the police!”

“He’s a lunatic!” Douglas said. “That thing gave me a lot of headaches, but now he’s got caught!”

Speaking of this, Director Douglas showed a smirk: “Of course, Dear Mr. Downey, if you want, I can help you get Jean out of the **** Alcatraz prison at any time!”

Douglas guessed, being invited to meet here today, Downey’s purpose is to save that crazy Tommy. Everyone knows that Downey’s relationship with the Razor Party boss Kane is very unusual.

Just when Douglas thought he had guessed right—

“Oh no no no! You are wrong, dear Commissioner Douglas, on the contrary, I hope you will do justice to the law and keep that lunatic Tommy in jail for a while!”

“Huh?” Director Douglas was taken aback, but he didn’t expect that he would guess wrong.

Downey looked at the dazed Douglas and said with a smile: “If you want to use a knife well, you must hold the handle tightly. Only in this way can you do whatever you want!”

Douglas’ eyes lit up. “I’ll do what you say, yes, God! I’ll definitely keep that Tommy in prison in comfort!”

Downey nodded, satisfied with Director Douglas’s statement, “I have one more thing I want to ask you…”

“Anything, just speak up.”

“There’s going to be something big going on at the London Coliseum tonight, so I hope you can disarm there and have a long night of meetings with those bureau chiefs!”

“Uh, this—” Douglas rolled his eyes and said immediately, “I understand, I’m preparing to rectify those stubborn men recently, and I’ll teach them a good lesson tonight!”

“Hahaha, if you don’t cut it, you can’t make a weapon! This is a Chinese saying, and it applies to us British people too!” Downey was very happy and raised his glass to invite: “Come, thank you for your help, cheers!”

“You’re welcome, Mr. Downey!” Chief Douglas and Downey dipped their glasses and drank the red wine.

…

London Police Headquarters.

Charlemagne, head of the East End of London, walked side by side with a fat white man towards the headquarters conference room.

“Hey, did you hear the news, tonight’s meeting is not easy!” the fat police officer said to Charlemagne.

The fat police officer named “Bowman” was newly transferred to Central London to replace the hapless Bruce as bureau chief.

Like Charlemagne, Bauman belongs to the most recent position, and many veterans find him unpleasant, and he can only negotiate with Charlemagne.

Charlemagne glanced at Fat Bowman: “It’s just a meeting, how can it not be easy?”

“But the problem is, it is said that it will be open all night tonight! God, I am most afraid of staying up late!” Fatty Bowman complained bitterly.

Charlie Mann was stunned for a moment. He knew something about Director Douglas. This guy likes to be lazy the most. Even if the meeting is only for a short time, he wants to talk to their subordinates tonight.

“In addition, I also heard that Commissioner Douglas had the police force assigned to the London Coliseum tonight dismissed, saying that there were complaints from citizens that a mere premiere was not worth the effort and wasting taxpayers’ money!” Fat Bowman He spit out all his thoughts to Charlemagne like a bean.

Hearing this, Charlemagne immediately became alert.

The horror film “Blair Witch” shot by Shinhwa Entertainment will premiere at the Grand Theater tonight. For this reason, Shi Zhijian specially invited many celebrities in London to help.

After the police got the news, they attached great importance to it, and specially arranged a police force to help maintain order and protect the personal safety of those bigwigs, but now they have to be thorough. What the **** is going on?

Charlemagne’s mind turned quickly, his eyes flickered, he smiled and took out a cigarette and handed it to Fat Bowman: “Thank you, dear friend! You have helped me a lot!”

“Uh, what do you mean?” Bowman looked confused.

“It’s nothing, maybe my chance to make a contribution is coming again!”

“Make merit?” Bauman immediately regained his spirits when he heard this, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com didn’t care about smoking, “Can you bring me, I also want to make merit!”

Bowman is absolutely true.

Since he was transferred to the Central District as the director, many people have looked down on him, and he urgently needs to prove himself with merit.

“Of course you can, if you can handle it!”

“What’s the meaning?”

“You’ll understand soon!” After speaking, Charlemagne turned his head and walked outside the police station.

“Wrong, we are going to the conference room for a meeting, why are you going back?”

“Do you want to make a contribution?” Charlemagne looked back at him. “If you want, come with me!”
