Chapter 229 Proxy War!
Lin Shao broke out in a cold sweat. He had a feeling that this high score was definitely not a fluke or a scam...
Good reputation, high ratings, stable box office and strong topic, it's a real king bomb!
This movie is going to be a hit!
No, no, he can't sit back and relax any longer!
Lin Yuan had a premonition when he saw it. This situation was exactly the same as when they released their songs before. The victory that was within their grasp would always be snatched away at the last moment, and then they would be overwhelmed by Xingyao...
He has experienced this kind of situation where he was attacked right in the face many times, and he felt despair and powerlessness!
When did Xingyao become so powerful!
The current status of "Taken" is still relatively optimistic, with a rating of 7.4; box office on the day: 56 million, cumulative box office: 192 million, ranking in the same period: first.
The advantage still exists, but Lin Xin and Lin Shao are a little cautious about Xingyao, so they took action immediately.
"I can't lose this round again. I'm going to invest more. I want to see all topics about 'Once Upon a Time in China' drop out of the top 20 trending searches!"
The publicity and promotion war has officially begun, and all departments of Volkswagen are involved.
The market, channels, publicity, celebrities and fan groups are all working hard to promote the product, but they no longer dare to engage in large-scale slander and smearing.
The effect is also very gratifying.
Ordinary people don’t pay attention to the trivial things in the entertainment industry every day, so of course I want to see whoever is the most popular!
Under the promotional effect of online and offline linkage, "Taken" maintained its advantage and still sat firmly at the top of the single-day and cumulative box office.
But on the other hand, the word-of-mouth of "Once Upon a Time in China" was also very popular, and it was at the national level, especially in the Cantonese-speaking areas, where many people developed strong emotions and interests in the scenes in the film.
"Is Huang Feihong from Foshan, Guangdong?"
"Yeah, no wonder 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant' is a Cantonese song!"
"I've seen it, and he's truly a true Guangdong man. His aura is 1.8 meters. He's a man of high character, both virtuous and martial!"
"If you say that, I have to go and see it!"
......
"I followed the clues in the film and determined that Bao Zhilin is in your area. How come it's not there?"
“…Brother, that’s a movie.”
"That shouldn't be the case. They filmed it so realistically that I don't think it's made up!"
“…”
"Then how about this? Take me to a nearby martial arts gym."
"I grew up in this area and have never seen any martial arts schools..."
After much effort, the two finally found a martial arts training institution in Foshan.
"Excuse me, do you teach martial arts here?"
"Teach, teach, fighting, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, what do you want to learn?"
"Is there a master who knows Hung Gar?"
“…”
"Where's the Tiger and Crane Double Form?"
“…”
"What about the Foshan Shadowless Kick?"
"Won't!"
"Why are you opening a martial arts school if you don't know anything?!"
The front desk staff thought they had encountered a lunatic and didn't take it seriously. However, within a few days, there was a constant stream of people coming to consult.
The questions he asked were mostly about these few, but they still left him confused.
After the head of the training institution learned about it, he specially invited a local master to come out.
Master Deng Hong is the 38th generation inheritor of Guangdong Hung Gar and a member of the Daxia Wushu Association.
Now he is over 60 years old. With the decline of martial arts culture, his only two disciples were forced to leave and change careers. He feels that Hung Gar seems to be dying in his hands.
I never thought that there would be such a day!
The other party paid a large sum of money to hire him to become the institution's Hung Gar teacher.
"I want to ask how you came up with the idea of opening a class and recruiting disciples?"
"Uh, uh, uh, that wasn't our idea. It was the movie 'Once Upon a Time in China' that had Hung Gar, and a lot of people came to the agency after seeing it and asked about it. There were so many people, dozens of them every day!"
When Master Deng arrived at the institution, he saw a large number of young people, a scene he had not seen in many years.
It was as if he had returned to a generation ago, when he was young, with his master on stage and his fellow apprentices sweating in the audience. At that time, martial arts in Daxia was still flourishing...
Amidst the clamor, no one noticed the tears glistening in the eyes of an old martial artist.
......
The movie "Once Upon a Time in China" brought out many masters who had been living in seclusion in the mountains.
Including the stunt doubles on the set, they also received a lot of inquiries and attention.
"Old Huang, you're proficient in everything, but who is Huang Feihong to you?"
".....I am your second grandfather."
“.......”
"Alright, give Wulang Bagua stick a try!"
"Okay!"
By the end of January, topics related to "Once Upon a Time in China" could no longer be suppressed.
Daxia Martial Arts Association:
【
Huang Feihong's martial arts skills not only include boxing, swordsmanship, gunmanship, etc., but also involve techniques from multiple martial arts schools and styles.
His unique skills include Hung Gar, Double Flying Lead, Mother-and-Child Double Swords, Wulang Bagua Stick, Shadowless Kick, Iron Wire Fist, I-shaped Fuhu Fist, Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist, etc., with novel structure and light movements, which have gotten rid of the shortcomings of the previous southern style boxing, such as sluggish, narrow and repetitive movements, making him unique in the martial arts world.
After research by the association, the origins and successors of Hung Gar, Iron Wire Fist, Wulang Bagua Stick, I-shaped Fuhu Fist, and Mother-and-Child Double Swords have been found. Interested martial artists can visit the official website for more information.
Thank you to everyone in Daxia for your support! Thank you to the film "Once Upon a Time in China" for its contribution to the inheritance and development of Daxia martial arts! We look forward to the crew's visit for guidance and discussion!

After seeing the news online, the association conducted a careful study and discovered that the martial arts scenes in the movie were indeed not randomly fabricated. Many of them are exactly the same as the styles of martial arts schools that still exist today. The rest that cannot be traced back to their sources are also unique and are definitely not simply film and television effects.
"Where did they find so many schools of thought?"
"Who says they aren't? For many martial arts, we even have to ask people to go to the local area to consult with them. They are absolutely professional!"
"Not only professional, but also solid! Look at Huang Feihong's boxing and kicking skills, I really feel inferior to him~"
"This martial arts director is definitely a master!"
The president also felt it was necessary to have an in-depth discussion with the film's martial arts instructor, so this blog post once again fueled the popularity of "Once Upon a Time in China"~
When Lin Shao saw it, his heart sank.
When fighting with Xingyao, I always have a feeling that the opponent never fights head-on.
Suddenly a big guy disguised as a younger brother appears from the corner, and then the public gets beaten up!
What kind of proxy war is this?
Can't you just play by the rules of the film industry?!
Lin Shao watched helplessly as "Once Upon a Time in China" took up the screening time of "The Storm" and "The Wish".
It has increased from 18% to 30%, and the box office has increased from more than 4,000 to more than 7,000!
"hiss!!!"
There is still some gap in the total box office, and Lin Shao is already sweating all over.
"No, I won't give up!"
Volkswagen then began to add resources in an attempt to maintain its slight advantage.
For the next two weeks, "Once Upon a Time in China" and "Storm" staged a battle for supremacy.
You go back and forth, neither side gives in, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller.
But Lin Shao knew that as long as he could hold on until the Spring Festival, he would win.
Because the movies released during the Spring Festival period will have their traffic divided away, the remaining tail will not have much impact on the final box office of the movie.
All Volkswagen needs to do is to delay and hold on to its slight advantage until the Spring Festival!
Time has entered the Spring Festival holiday.
With the release of Spring Festival movies, other movies have been taken off the shelves.
The top three are still online, but their traffic has dropped significantly.
"Storm" score: 7.3; single-day box office: 12 million; cumulative box office: 539 million, ranking in the same period: first.
"Once Upon a Time in China" score: 8.6; single-day box office: 12.5 million; cumulative box office: 513 million, ranking during the same period: second.
"Wish" score: 7.5 points; single-day box office: 8.9 million; cumulative box office: 375 million, ranking during the same period: third.
