Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

On January 8th, the new weekend Hurricane Rescue once again scored 1.7 million at the box office, accumulating 11 million Hong Kong dollars in eight days. When Lin Zhengying walked on the street, she really felt the feeling of being famous!

Whether he was going out to buy breakfast from home or on the way to the Jiahe studio, there were people everywhere who exclaimed "Uncle Ying" to him and even came to ask for his autograph.

Even though he has been in the industry for more than ten years and is in his 30s, he still has a dreamy feel.

This hot feeling is really...

While on the set of Jiahe, enjoying the admiration and admiration of a group of Hong family acquaintances, a figure hurriedly walked over and waved to A-ying, "A-ying, He Sheng is looking for you."

This is Hong Yin Bao.

Amid the shouts of a group of Sanmao brothers, Aying also nodded politely to the left and right, and walked away with Hong Yinbao. While walking, Hong Yinbao whispered, "I heard the meaning of some words, Zou Sheng and He Sheng still want to work." Let’s see if we can bring Hurricane Rescue to Hollywood.”

"If this thing can be done, A-ying, it would be really amazing."

Lin Zhengying was shocked, but felt it was natural.

Zou Sheng's international vision has been around since the early 1970s, when he collaborated with Warner Bros. in Hollywood on Enter the Dragon, a trend started by Brother Xiao Long, which cost 800,000 U.S. dollars, and cost more than 25 million U.S. dollars at Amei's house. box office.

Globally, not counting the cumulative box office of re-releases over the years, it also earned more than 90 million US dollars worldwide that year.

Having had Brother Xiao Long, Zou Wenhuai would look up to Hollywood more than once. After Cheng Long became famous, he still cooperated with Warner. Which one of Killer Trench and Cannonball Speed ​​was not an ambitious project to enter Hollywood?

Even if it failed, there would be blockbuster movies such as Cannonball Speed ​​2 and Power Rangers. In 1989, a co-production of Ninja Turtles took over 1 billion Hong Kong dollars at the global box office.

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Zhengying asked curiously, "Does Director Zhao hold all the copyrights of Hurricane Rescue?"

Hong Qinbao nodded and refused to comment. Zou Sheng and He Sheng over there had that idea and must have considered it. It was nothing more than a capital injection and cooperation.

In this regard, Zou Wenhuai is really better than the Thunder Tycoon, and the future Pan Disheng and others are too grand. Whether it is the fast food truck in 1984 or the later Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers, it is base to spend a lot of money to film in Europa.

"If you were asked to direct a follow-up movie about hurricane rescue, would you be able to make it?"

Lin Zhengying looked embarrassed. She glanced at Sanmao a few times and found that the other person was looking at him very seriously. Aying smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't take the photo."

As he said this, he took out a cigarette, "After the New World, more than a few new styles of clothing became popular. Many clothing factories and stores made a lot of money, and similar gangster movies were made that followed the trend."

"I heard that Brother Da Rong just followed suit, didn't he?"

He is talking about Deng Yurong, the leader of Lianle who has certain prestige and strength in the film industry and society, and is also the sworn brother of Qin Xianglin in the Five Lucky Stars.

Many people in later generations know that Chen Huimin is the eldest brother of Jianghu and one of the 14 talkers, but the strength of Lianle Deng Yurong's association is not much weaker than the power of Chen Huimin alone in the 14th.

Ah-Lian and Zhou Runfa broke up, and Ah-Fa committed suicide. It was all due to Deng Yurong. It was Deng Yurong who introduced Ah-Lian to the Hongmen eldest brother of Amei's family, who was sworn to his sister. But Shen Feifei alone had no connections to know Amei's family. The Hongmen eldest brother?

Deng Yurong was different. His father was the former head of the Hongmen Hall in Yangcheng. The Lianle club was founded by his father's disciples and was later handed over to Da Rong.

"But Hurricane Rescue, let alone the kind of editing method that ordinary editors can't do. If you want to shoot well with handheld photography, Director Zhao is currently the only one in Hong Kong."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhengying was a little lucky.

Hong Qinbao also smiled bitterly, "Fuck you when you talk about this. I have been practicing for so long. I can do handheld photography steadily for more than ten minutes, but the things I shoot... are shameless."

The problem of following the trend of Hong Kong movies is too big, ruining every subject matter.

However, there are still hopes and opportunities to follow the trend and imitate the new world, but want to follow the trend of hurricane rescue?

That's just a laugh.

A moment later, Lin Zhengying arrived at Zou Wenhuai's office and saw not only Zou Sheng and He Sheng, but also a green-haired foreigner. When he came in, the foreigner kept staring at him with slightly shining eyes.

A Ying looked unnatural, mainly because his eyes were also very wandering, and he always felt that the color of the other person's hair was a bit weird.

Zou Wenhuai stood up with a smile, "Aying, this is Mr. Ross from Warner Bros. He and I went to the theater to watch You's Hurricane Rescue. Mr. Ross spoke very highly of you."

Ross shook hands with Lin Zhengying enthusiastically and said in awkward Cantonese, "Lin, your new movie is much better-looking and more exciting than the Big Nose movie from the past two years."

Lin Zhengying continued to laugh awkwardly, and Zou Wenhuai and others were a little uncomfortable. After a few polite words, Ross went straight to the topic, "Lin, do you think we will invest in Warner, Golden Harvest and Zhao's boss to make Hurricane 2 together?" , How high are your hopes?”

Lin Zhengying smiled awkwardly, but her words were polite and enthusiastic, and she didn't know what to ask.

Is A Yingchao grateful to Director Zhao? Currently, Zhao Donghuai is a good big brother and a good boss second only to Brother Sanmao in his heart.

Under this situation, outsiders wanted to divide the profits in Director Zhao's hands, but of course he didn't know anything about it.

Ross looked at Zou Wenhuai, and Zou Sheng smiled, "Aying, why don't you help us make an appointment with Xiao Zhaosheng?"

"Actually, if you can't participate in Hurricane Rescue 2, we can also ask you to be the protagonist and create a new series tailored to your needs. Previously, you were a retired instructor of the Flying Tigers. Next time, you can be a retired CIA or FBI."

"Most people can't do handheld photography, but this technology originated in Hollywood, so just hire someone behind the scenes from Hollywood."

Lin Zhengying was speechless.

But he knew that it would not be difficult to hire a photographer from there.

Director Zhao pioneered the style and genre of integrating handheld photography into action films. Then as long as he finds more top editors to study fast editing routines and more martial arts fingers, he can imitate the same style.

Most Hong Kong film companies can't do it, but Zou Sheng can definitely do it and give it a try.

The biggest feature of the handheld photography action genre is that you don’t need to be as desperate as Cheng Long. If you have good behind-the-scenes and photography skills, you can also launch action superstars in batches.

Of course, the premise is that good funds, good technology, a good script, and action stars are all combined.

Warner, the Hollywood giant, has the first three, and Golden Harvest has the last two.

Just now he was lucky that ordinary companies couldn't follow the trend and could not drown this subject quickly. In the blink of an eye, he encountered a tycoon who wanted to follow the trend?

After being silent for dozens of seconds, Lin Zhengying said hurriedly, "Thank you Zou Sheng for the promotion, but I'm afraid my schedule in the past two years is full. Not only do I have to shoot Brother Sanmao's Lucky Star series and Human Ghost series, I also signed several films with Director Zhao. play."

"But I can send a message and help you make an appointment with Director Zhao."

After being rejected, Zou Wenhuai showed no anger or dissatisfaction and instead laughed.

The green-haired Ross frowned a little, "Lin, we are going to push you to Hollywood? Don't you understand?"

………………

After a while, Lin Zhengying and Hong Yinbao walked out of the big office together. This was what they had agreed to before. They called Director Zhao to try.

While walking, Hong Yinbao said with a curious smile, "You refused so quickly just now, are you really willing to give up? That's Hollywood."

Lin Zhengying spread her hands, "I'm telling the truth. Whether it's the third part of the Human Ghost series, the second part of Lucky Star, or the hurricane series with Director Zhao, aren't they all decided in advance?"

Hong Yinbao laughed and patted A Ying on the shoulder, "Originally the third part of Humans and Ghosts should have started filming a long time ago... Now, I feel that the book is not very good."

"If you still play the role of a good guy who pretends to be a heavenly master and scares ghosts without much strength, you are too weak. After so many viewers have seen your hurricane rescue, they will have already designated you as a super boss in their minds."

"It should be like the ones in Ren Jing Ren, or better than the Taoist masters in Ren Jing Ren."

"The last script setting is scrapped. I'll find you three million, and then ask Zou Sheng if he is willing to raise funds. When you want to shoot, you can find someone to form a team yourself. You will be the biggest male lead and move the finger. "

The original third installment of "The Man and the Ghost" was crowded at the box office by a bunch of blockbusters. After it hit the market, A Yingcai and Liu Guanwei co-produced the scene of Mr. Zombie. The zombies are all played by Yuan Hua, which will be next year.

As soon as Hurricane Rescue exploded, Hong Yinbao immediately rejected the script for the third part of "Humans and Ghosts".

Old Liu is also a great master of zombie movies, including Mr. Zombie, Family of Zombies, Uncle Zombie, New Mr. Zombie, etc... They were all created by Old Liu as a director. He started working with Hong Yibao in the late 1970s.

Like he said, hurricane rescue is fierce!

If you position Lin Zhengying's second part or the next part as a Taoist priest or a Celestial Master who pretends to be a god, conjures ghosts and scares people, but does not have much ability, it will be too easy for the audience to feel separated.

Even if they continue to be scary Taoist masters, they won't be too fragmented.

Lin Zhengying nodded excitedly, "Okay."

What Director Zhao meant was to leave Hurricane 2 to him and let him find the script, act as the director, select the actors, etc. After that, Zhao Donghuai would be the producer, inject funds, and have a handheld camera operator. It’s just Teacher Si.

Hong Qinbao continued to walk, and said helplessly as he walked, "Hey, what about Lucky Star? Originally, you were supposed to be a villain and attract our Five Lucky Stars to the island country. In the end, Abiao or Aaron alone can defeat you."

"The current environment does not allow it. How about we defeat all the masters of the villains, and then you can easily come on the stage and beat me, Aaron, and Abiao to the ground, leaving us unable to fight back. "

"Then you are attacked by a vase girl or Luo Han Guo and you are beaten into the street? Add a bit of comedy. The more powerful you are, the more dramatic you will be when you are attacked and knocked down."

Lin Zhengying, "..."

"Brother Sanmao, you can handle this kind of thing. I'm going to call Director Zhao and remind him that it's still being released in Shaw Brothers. If word gets out that Shaw Brothers won't like it, it would be a pity to cancel it immediately. "

Hong Yinbao, "..."

He almost forgot about this.

If Director Zhao came to talk to Zou Sheng happily when he heard about the opportunity to go to Hollywood, and when Boss Shao heard about it, he would have lost a lot of money by directly handing him over.

What if that were the case? Zou Sheng would be beaming with joy. At worst, Golden Harvest Cinema will take over and re-release it. It's already January 9th. Plan A will be released for 17 days, and the box office will be squeezed to a pitiful extent.

………………

Broadcast Channel TVB City.

Director Zhao, who was discussing Liu Dehua's contract with Shao Daheng, received Lin Zhengying's BB phone, found a nearby phone to finish the conversation, then walked back with a smile and said, "That Zou Sheng came to me, it seems he still wants to hit Hollywood. .”

Shao Yifu frowned while drinking tea. The most profound memory in his life was Zou Wenhuai...

"You say that, aren't you afraid that I will delay the hurricane rescue?"

Zhao Donghuai laughed and said, "Shao Sheng, calm down. The profits involved in Hollywood are too huge. Profits can easily cost tens of millions of dollars. I don't believe you don't want to make them."

Shao Yifu frowned and put down his tea cup, "So you not only just want to make money, but you also come here to poach my five tigers? Or even rent and buy my theater chain?"

Zhao Donghuai continued to laugh and said, "Shao Sheng, I think I am quite generous in my work. When I praised Afa and the others, I didn't recruit any of them. It was Lan Jieying. The first time I approached her to interview the heroine, she had not yet met her at that time. Wireless has officially signed a contract."

"I have done this several times, and now I am also asking, if A Hua is really selected for the new film, I hope that he will sign all the film contracts and albums with our company. As for the TV contract, for the remaining contract period with TVB, do I want him to When it comes to making TV shows, I’ll leave it up to you to discuss it with him.”

"Shao Sheng, I have always felt that as a person, I like win-win and win-win. He is the only one I want. TVB is full of talents and there is no shortage of this one."

In 1985, Ah Hua was kept in the ice for more than a year because he did not renew his contract. He felt that he was sincerely looking for someone to discuss win-win issues.

After he grabbed the tea cup and took a sip of tea, Shao Yifu said, "Win-win? That's okay. I can rent more than a dozen theaters to you for a rent of 150 million a year."

Director Zhao looked at Shao Daheng speechlessly, you must be too dark.

He knew that more than a year later, Pan Disheng spent 35 million on renting only four properties. At first glance, he rented more than a dozen properties for 150 million... The remaining dozen properties cost 115 million?

That's not how the accounts are calculated. The value of the four leading theaters is far higher than the remaining ones.

The luxurious Longtou Cinema in downtown Tsim Sha Tsui and the theater near Kwun Tong Industrial Estate are not of the same dimension.

His various accounts are coming back one after another, and by selling off the distribution rights of Hurricane Rescue in East Asia and Southeast Asia, he will be able to collect more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the next month, of which selling car glass is the biggest money.

But 150 million, a year's rent?

In 1983, the box office revenue of all theaters on Hong Kong Island was more than 500 million, and theater chains were expected to take half, pocketing 267 million.

But it was Jiahe and Golden Princess that took the lion's share, while Shuangnan and Anle Cinemas, etc., all took part by relying on mainland blockbusters such as Shaolin Temple and Burning Old Summer Palace or showing Hollywood movies.

Shaw Brothers...does the total revenue of the dozen or so Shaw Brothers theaters reach 30 to 40 million? That’s New World’s contribution of more than 10 million! At the beginning of 1984, hurricane rescue is now in progress.

One New World brought more to Shaw Brothers theaters than dozens of Shaw Brothers films combined.

Asking for a rent of 150 million a year is too shameful, and it is more than just a lion's mouth.

No wonder second-generation rich people like Pan Disheng will only dare to rent four leading theaters in the future, and then rent, buy or recruit other small theaters to join them and share dividends to form a theater chain.

After another sip of tea, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "Well, I only want four leading theaters in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, with a rent of 35 million a year and a one-year contract, and then I have the priority to renew the contract."

"Look, you opened a dozen theaters, Shaosheng, for 150 million, and I only rented four theaters and gave you 35 million. Isn't that very kind?"

He knew that if he asked for 35 million now, what he would get in the end would definitely be higher, which would make Boss Shao earn more. But again, Zhao Donghuai prided himself on being a kind man, and it was so exaggerated to make money in the waste paper and glass business.

Now he is still planning to poach Andy Lau's contract and promote new action stars and singers.

It doesn't matter if you let Boss Shao earn a few more millions. Just treat it as a return of favor, but you have to tell me straight up that I'll take Andy Lau's contract and I'll buy Ah Hua according to the liquidated damages above... That won't sound good. Now both parties are working together happily. , there is no need to make things ugly.

It's Shao Yifu's turn to be speechless, you are really a bargaining genius!

After grabbing the tea cup and playing with it for a while, Shao Yifu said, "Four leading theaters will do, too, 50 million a year."

In the future, he can only split it up and rent it. He also understands that there are too few people who can come up with tens or hundreds of millions of cash flow to rent this.

There are many rich people in Hong Kong, and those who are willing to enter the entertainment industry...

No matter whether Pan Disheng in the future or Zhao Donghuai now, what matters most is not only whether you can make money by renting a theater, but how much you make, but after you have your own theater, your influence and prestige in the Hong Kong film industry will become another kind of, Someone standing on another step.

There are so many film companies in Hong Kong. Why are the only ones who are called film tycoons those who hold theater chains?

As for Pan Disheng's renting of the theater, it was only in April 1985, and the deal was completed only after the third brother of Shaw Brothers passed away due to illness. On the surface, the third brother was in charge of everything at Shaw Brothers Theatre.

Wouldn't it be feasible to do so far in advance now? It really doesn't have that influence. Shao Daheng's third brother is in charge of Nanyang Cinema, Xingma Tai, etc., and he likes to delegate power and let juniors take over.

Far from being a character like Shao Yifu who wants to dominate everything in Shaw Brothers and TVB.

At the Shaw Brothers Theater on Hong Kong Island, his third brother rarely interfered.

As early as the early 1980s, with the rise of New Art City, Jiahe relied on Cheng Long, Hong Yinbao and others to dominate step by step. Even in the mainland, blockbusters appeared one after another, and Anle Cinemas could also make money by showing Hollywood movies.

Shaw Brothers is losing money every year and has no good films.

Since theaters cannot sell tickets, the many movies produced by Shaw Brothers Pictures are losing money, and the salaries of the large crews from the front to the back are also suffering long-term losses.

Zhao Donghuai said again, "Shao Sheng, I will contribute up to 40 million to the four leading theaters, and I will have priority to renew the contract every year. However, if one day Shaw Brothers reorganizes Shaw Brothers Pictures and releases new films, I will definitely support them strongly."

Shao Yifu took a sip of tea and said, "Now that I think about it, I feel that you really want to rent the theater and are not joking."

"Is it really that profitable to sell waste paper?"

When he was planning to film the first film "New World", the bad guy in front of him had to mortgage the IOUs owed to him by the mainland's public paper mills to raise funds.

How many months has it been? Isn’t it difficult for you to spend tens of millions? Doesn’t it affect your filming plans? That's it, he's still playing newspaper.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and said nothing.

Shao Yifu thought again, and after a few minutes, he said, "Okay, I can rent four leading theaters to you for a rent of 35 million yuan a year, but this matter will have to wait at least one or two months. I have to do it." Good overall arrangement and proper measures.”

"Then Andy Lau's film contract and record contract will also be given to you."

Zhao Donghuai was surprised. This is not like the person you asked for 150 million before, right? He has taken the initiative to raise the price to 40 million a year, but he still hears you taking the initiative to give a discount?

"What about the conditions?"

Shao Yifu smiled and said, "I want you to help me support a group with pretty girls like Guan Jiahui, He Qing, and Hu Huizhong. Of course, I don't want to support you right now. Your girl group has just debuted and is starting to become popular."

"If I ask you to praise their competitors now, you will definitely not do it."

"After a year and a half, their popularity has stabilized. You are helping my wireless support. By then, your newspaper resources, movie resources, and my TVB can all complement each other. Didn't you say you like a win-win situation? This condition How about it?"

Zhao Donghuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Shao Yifu's vision is really... Let's not talk about the mainland. Happy Girls gradually appeared in Hong Kong after Happy Ghost became popular. Wanwan also started in 1984. Under the influence of the island country, City Girls appeared, and Flying Eagle Three appeared in 1986. Shu.

The early girl groups, the originators of girl groups, really didn’t have the same operating methods as later generations.

His company's group is only in its prototype and early trial operation stage. The newspaper photo album is still limited to 50,000 copies a day, and the demand for songs to hit the streets is still in its early stages.

But these groups are organized. If you want to gain popularity, they will become a cash cow. They are not just one group, but a group. Shao Daheng's proposal is really a win-win situation... He really needs the cooperation of the TV station to form a logical circle with newspapers and movies.

Of course Shao Daheng is not at a loss.

TVB has too many beauties, and they control the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. There are always newcomers year after year!

Who will be the Hong Kong sisters in the next few years?

He is really helping TVB to promote a new group, and the impact on him is just that. He does not help TVB. As long as Shao Yifu has this intention, he can do his homework and TVB has a lot of beautiful female resources.

In this era, there are also many powerful people in Hong Kong and Wanwan music circles.

There is no shortage of publicity platforms for Shao Daheng. He can just find Ming Pao and Oriental Daily newspapers to cooperate with him, and it may even have a greater impact on the sales of his newly formed Kowloon Daily.

Not only Shao Yifu, these years are the birthplace of the birth of girl groups in Japan, South Korea and even all over the world. In addition to the girl group, Wanwan also quickly formed the Little Tigers in 1988.

After thinking, Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Okay, it's settled."

Shao Yifu smiled, "With the influence you and I have now, let's not talk about signing a contract. Let's make a verbal agreement first. You can always go to someone to ask for Ah Hua's contract."

"Even with the group you have, the record release can be done in Leslie's way."

At this point, he sighed again, "Is it really that profitable to make waste paper? My dear, you are the fastest newcomer I have ever seen. Bruce Lee was a child star, and before joining Golden Harvest, he had already achieved fame through kung fu!"

"He also starred in a TV series at A Mei's house."

"Not to mention big-nosed Aaron and Sanmao, but I advise you, don't think about getting involved in Hollywood easily in the early stages of development. It's not too late to lay a solid foundation."

"Once you stumble in the rapid development momentum, not to mention the outside world, Zou Wenhuai can swallow you up. Now he is helping Sanmao to start a show, isn't it just two to three million that he will throw away, and there will be no dividends from other places. ?”

Zhao Donghuai laughed. Even now, he still didn't forget to dig a hole for Zou Sheng while talking? ?

However, the last time I approached Hua Xing to talk about releasing a record for Kwan Jiahui and the girls, they were rejected... Shao Daheng personally agreed? It saved him a lot of trouble.

………………

When Zhao Donghuai returned to Zhao's Building, it was still early for the time he had agreed with Jiahe Zou Sheng. He had originally planned to call the mainland and ask his subordinates to recruit some theater management talents... He had already placed an advertisement for novel writers at Yangma. out.

The Pengcheng branch office where the letter was received was assigned, and a chief editor and three editors were sent to visit the office and screen the manuscripts.

Now that the movie theater chain is about to be acquired, we definitely can’t use all the managers from Shaw Brothers. We have to recruit ourselves. Hiring people from Hong Kong Island is also good, but the mainland has such a large market, population base, and cheaper salaries.

Recruiting a few from the mainland and recruiting a few from Hong Kong Island is the right approach.

To Director Zhao's surprise, when he had just arrived at the company and waited for the elevator, he saw three girls, Guan Jiahui, He Qing and Hu Huizhong, running from a photo studio in the newspaper office on the first floor. Guan Jiahui held his arm even more excitedly, "Brother Huai, New World 2 Samples are out, Director Du is waiting for you to come back and watch them."

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "No wonder you are so excited."

The good news keeps coming.

The New World 2, which is based on the core of Infernal Affairs, started filming almost at the same time as Hurricane Rescue. Hurricane has already made 11 million at the box office in 8 days of release. The sample film has just been released and is waiting for test screening, which is considered normal.

It is normal for the three daughters Guan Jiahui to be so excited.

Infernal Affairs 1 has three female characters.

Zhou Runfa plays Liu Jianming, Wan Ziliang plays Chen Yongren, Lu Liangwei plays Lin Guoping who finally shoots and kills Lao Wan, and the most powerful boss Han Chen is played by Qin Pei. This veteran actor has no pressure to play this role.

Huang Zhicheng is Zeng Jiang.

Guan Lijie and Zhou Xingxing played Han Chen's subordinates Di Lu and Sha Qiang. Well, Lao Guan played Sha Qiang.

Compared with New World 1, it is really the original cast gathered together.

Wu Zhenyu did not appear in the role. Zhao Donghuai plans to push Wu's potential and let him try to take the leading role in the third film in the future.

The three women also acted as a group, and they still received 100,000 yuan. The best acting was played by Hu Huizhong, the daughter of Dr. Li Xin'er.

Guan Jiahui plays the role of a minor ex-girlfriend May, and He Qing plays Ah who discovers his girlfriend Mary!

Again, when you create a group, you should appear together frequently.

After smiling, he waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go see the samples with Sir Du first."

His current company does not yet have a separate screening room. However, since the theater chain rents it once a year, he will take 35 million first, and he is considering buying the six-story building one by one.

If you don't buy the land of Shao Daheng's current theater chain, you can still make money by buying other land. It will be much more cost-effective to demolish the six-story old building and build a new building in a few years. The new building can be built with twenty or thirty floors.

Buy it layer by layer. After buying it, you can build an internal screening room first. The editing room, recording studio, etc. also need to be renovated and built one by one. You can't rent them from outsiders again and again.

He can collect more than 100 million in cash flow in a month, use 10 million to continue buying car windshields, use a few million to continue running the waste paper business, and use the rest to buy buildings and houses? ? You can buy more than just office buildings.

If you live in a high-end residential complex on Broadcasting Road, you can also buy a few more units to use as dormitories for more and more employees in the future. After 1984, it was time for housing prices to rise again. This does not mean that they would rise a lot immediately. In 1985, the average price of real estate in Kowloon only increased by several hundred yuan per square meter.

But those people who are eager to immigrate and flee Hong Kong Island and sell their properties cheaply are gradually decreasing.

Some time later, Zhao Donghuai just appeared on the set of Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay with a few girls and bodyguards. Johnnie To, Zhou Runfa, Wan Ziliang, Qin Pei and others appeared one after another, waving over from a distance.

When the crowd gathered and walked towards the screening room, Zhao Donghuai smiled and teased, "Sir Du, do you blame me for writing the storyboard script in too detail, which reduced your performance?"

Du Qifeng shook his head and giggled, "No, of course I wouldn't dare. The script you wrote is so good that if you let me shoot it myself, I'd be afraid that it would turn out to be a mess. To be honest, I became a brother during the filming process and I understood a lot of things. Still can’t take care of it.”

"After finishing this film, I feel confident that I can remake the movie. When the time comes..."

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "As long as the script is good, I will cast your film."

He was originally one of the leading directors of Hong Kong gang films, and now he has filmed two New World films!

Even if Director Du wakes up early, it's normal.

After a while, there was silence in the screening room, and the melodious bells started.

The scenery of Sha Tin Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple also jumped out. Qin Pei walked out from behind, knelt in front of the Buddha statue and worshiped the Buddha. After worshiping the Buddha, he thanked the master for the scented oil money, and the masters left. Qin Peicai walked with Zhou Runfa and Lu Liangwei with a gloomy face. Waiting in front of the young people.

Here again, the two of them left the country directly, and their makeup was specially arranged to make Lu Liangwei's appearance different from his normal image to avoid being recognized at a glance. Ah Fa's image was very clear, and he was known to be an undercover agent from the beginning.

"Five years ago, the parking stall in front of the Palace Restaurant in Tai Hing Estate, Tuen Mun, opened with great success."

Along with the lines, Qin Pei's expressions became more and more rich, and as the scene progressed... everyone watched.

Until that sentence "I wish you all the best in the police department, cheers, sirs!"

As the tense soundtrack played, Qin Pei drank tea with Zhou Runfa, Lu Liangwei and even a few extras. Guan Jiahui, who was holding Director Zhao on her arm, burst into laughter. The laughter started from her and spread to more and more people.

On the contrary, Qin Pei was confused by the laughter, and was a little nervous and restless.

Is his performance too funny?

Zhao Donghuai also smiled and waved, "Okay, keep watching, Uncle Pei, don't be nervous, it's just that the image of the two dramas is very different, and everyone feels the contrast. When New World was released, Ah Fa was called Xu Wenqiang as soon as he appeared. "

Qin Pei was relieved, and the others slowly let go of their thoughts and watched the movie again.

The story of the sequel has no connection with the previous one at first glance, and it is not uncommon for the sequel to feel more disconnected.

The key is to look at the video quality!

At the end of the movie, Wan Ziliang was shot in the head by Lu Liangwei. The desolate and melancholy soundtrack of "Goodbye, Police" played and the scene was still flashing back. Lu Liangwei repeatedly explained that he was also an undercover police officer and complained about Han Chen. Don’t value him…

The theater was filled with exclamations and shock!

This kind of shock is almost as impactful as the original hero, Xiao Ma, who was shot in the head when he was roaring!

As Ah Fa was going down in the elevator, the sound of gunshots filled the air. Facing a group of military uniforms outside the elevator, Ah Fa was wearing a handsome slim suit, almost the same style as in the New World. He held his ID and put it on his chest, "I It’s the police!”

The finale, of course, is when Liu Jianming (Chow Yun-fat), who has been promoted and made a fortune, brings a group of female characters and male supporting actors to collectively salute in front of the tomb of Chen Yongren (Wan Ziliang).

The moment of salute.

The few people in the theater, starting from Hu Huizhong, started to applaud crazily.

While applauding, Hu Huizhong couldn't help but exclaimed, "Boss, if we don't award you two Best Director awards at the 1984 and 1985 Academy Awards, why don't we organize a Hong Kong Film Awards!"

"Then Ah Fa and Ah Liang took turns winning the Best Actor award."

Many people agreed, but Du Qifeng hesitated... Fuck, this second movie was filmed by him, and Zhao Donghuai didn't even have the director's name, okay? !
