After receiving Bruce Lee's invitation, Lin Li still made a trip to America.
He was waiting for the post-editing of the Game of Bravehearts. Overall, the effect was good. Bruce Lee was satisfied with the script. At the same time, he was also quite satisfied with Cheng Long. Bruce Lee admired this guy's action comedy very much.
However, Cheng Long had returned to Xiangjiang. After the rare filming, he naturally needed to relax.
"Brother Xiaolong, you look good!”When Lin Li arrived, Bruce Lee felt a rare sense of relief.
"Ah Li, come, let me show you my new toy!”When Bruce Lee saw Lin Li, he immediately pulled Lin Li excitedly to a room specially used for fitness.
"This is?" Lin Li looked at the strange machine in front of him, and had a bad feeling.
"This thing is called the Muscle Oscillator. It's specially used to train muscles!”Bruce Lee showed off his exaggerated muscles and smiled."How is it? Isn't it shocking?”
Lin Li could not help but frown."Brother Xiaolong, it's best not to use this thing!”
Bruce Lee asked curiously,"What's wrong?"
"Haste makes waste!" Lin Li said slowly," There's a limit to the growth of our bodies. This is the law of nature. Muscle Oscillators are just pulling up seedlings to help them grow. It's not good for the body at all!“
“NO,NO，NO!”Bruce Lee shook his head." Lin, this is an era of science and technology. We can't ignore the development of science and technology because of personal prejudice!”
"However, any improvement in technology is verified through repeated experiments. This muscle generator, Brother Xiaolong, do you want to try it out like a lab rat?”Lin Li frowned slightly." Brother Xiaolong, I don't object if you want to use this machine. However, I still hope that you can appraise it to see if this machine is really so magical!”
When Bruce Lee heard this, he nodded with a solemn expression."Alright then! I'll take your suggestion into consideration!"
Lin Li took a deep look at Bruce Lee, wondering if this guy would listen to his words.
"Oh right, is Hong Jinbao in Mi Di Ba now?”Lin Li suddenly asked.
Bruce Lee was slightly stunned." Yes, he had a scene a while ago. He shouldn't have left yet!"”
"Then don't let him go for now. Stallone is also lent to me. Also, Hong Jinbao, I have use for him during this period of time!”Lin Li smiled.
Although Bruce Lee didn't know what Lin Li was thinking, he still agreed readily.
…………
Xiangjiang!
At this moment, Xiangjiang movies could be described as a pool of stagnant water.
Xiangjiang movies were also affected by the stock market crash. As a result, the citizens of Xiangjiang City wanted to split their money into two.
In the movie market this year, neither Jiahe nor Shao Brothers had any works that they could take out.
In July, Jiahe released five movies.
Night Girl, box office 1.2 million.
The Spring Pavilion Storm Box Office earnings were 800,000 yuan.
General Hu Tu's box office earnings were 1.1 million.
Xin Lan's Story's box office earnings were 700,000.
On the other side, although the Shao family was a big family, at this moment, the pressure they were facing was not small at all.
Only " 72 Tenants ", which was released at the beginning of the year, earned a lot of box office earnings. It was produced by Shao Group and directed by Chu Yuan. It could be said that there were tears in this movie. The lineup of this movie was really strong. Zheng Shaoqiu, Shen Dianxia, Xu Guanying, and so on. There was also Zhao Yazhi and Guan Zhilin, who were stuffed in by Lin Li.
In addition," 72 Tenants " was released before the stock market crash in March.
And the Shao Family had learned Lin Li's methods and engaged in a lot of publicity and marketing.
The box office earnings of " 72 Tenants " were more than one million yuan compared to the original box office earnings in history. The box office earnings of 4.8 million yuan could be said to be a huge profit.
Originally, at the end of the year, Bruce Lee's China-US co-production of Enter the Dragon was still successful. Even after the stock market crash, it still relied on Bruce Lee's appeal to take 3.2 million at the box office and win second place in the annual championship.
However, in this time and space, the battle between dragons was directly destroyed by Lin Li.
Now, Bruce Lee was filming the US-China co-production of " Game of the Bravehearts," which had an investment of eight million US dollars. Naturally, Jiahe could not produce any movie that could bring in box office earnings this year.
When " 72 Tenants " was released, many media people in Xiangjiang were calling it the rise of Shao Group.
Without Lin Li and Bruce Lee, how could Jiahe fight against the Shao Family?
When the stock market crash broke out, Xiangjiang citizens suddenly realized that Jiahe and Shao's were really brothers in distress.
Next, if the movie could reach 1.5 million at the box office, it would be considered a high box office.
Overnight, the box office of Xiangjiang City seemed to have returned to its original state. The previous high box office of 10 million was like a dream. The box office of Xiangjiang City suddenly returned to the era of millions.
For Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu, the most painful thing was that they had to sell their cinemas at a low price or sublet them.
Previously, Lin Li had brought two high-box-office movies, which gave them an illusion.
That was, the movie industry would enter a period of rapid development. The more cinemas there were, the better. However, now, the cinemas had become a huge burden to them.
Now, they had no choice but to give up a large number of cinemas to maintain their own survival.
October
The Oriental Daily wrote a special article to evaluate the movies in the first half of the year.
"Throughout the first half of this year, we only saw one movie,'72 Tenants,' whose box office reached 4.4 million, barely reaching our expectations. I can almost predict that this will be the movie with the highest box office this year!”
"But should we be happy? This was a kind of sorrow. Don't forget that Bruce Lee's first movie," Big Brother Tang Shan," had already earned 5.3 million at the box office. Don't forget the miracle created by " Ye Wen." Now," 72 Tenants " was not even a fraction of " Ye Wen "!”
"I feel a strong sense of sorrow. Without Lin Li and Bruce Lee, Xiangjiang movies immediately revealed their true colors. It was not Xiangjiang movies that ushered in a new era, but Lin Li!”
The article of Oriental Daily reminded all the Xiangjiang citizens of the past.
Lin Li, the man who had created the miracle of box office in Xiangjiang.
Lin Li announced that he would retire for a year.
Now, a year seemed to be almost up.
