In 1974, New Year's Day and Spring Festival both fell in January.

Chu Huan also slowed down work matters during this period, but in fact Chu Huan didn't stop too much.

Although various business gatherings can be postponed, there are still some that cannot be postponed. It will not be until January 6th that all business gatherings are over.

Various private parties followed closely.

For example, today’s gathering with Li Xiaolong.

Li Xiaolong has completed the filming of "Game of Death" and completed all the post-production. However, Li Xiaolong felt that this movie was not in line with the atmosphere of the New Year, so he suggested to Zou Wenhuai to save the movie until May.

Released.

Zou Wenhuai, who was the only one left to support Li Xiaolong, naturally agreed unconditionally.

In Li Xiaolong's villa, Li Xiaolong, Yuan Hua, Lin Zhengying, Hong Jinbao and others gathered together.

Everyone is in this circle, some of them are in kung fu movies, and there is also Yuen Hua as the middleman, so although there are not as many collaborations between Sam Hung and Li Xiaolong as in another time and space, they still have a good relationship.

Several people are chatting now, and Ding Pei is also sitting next to Li Xiaolong.

Now that the relationship between the two has been made public, Ding Pei will live in Li Xiaolong's villa when his wife is not in Xiangjiang.

"Brother Long, congratulations. The movie "Enter the Dragon" has grossed US$25 million at the box office in North America, and it even ranked tenth on the North American box office list last year!"

Hong Jinbao preached with some envy.

If it were in later generations, a box office of 25 million US dollars might not even be considered the top ten in the first week of box office, but in the 1970s, the dark period of Hollywood, a box office of 25 million would have been in the top ten, and the box office of local Hollywood movies

The top ten goalkeepers "007: Life and Death" only received 16 million US dollars at the box office!

Li Xiaolong is also very satisfied with this achievement. The production cost of his "Enter the Dragon" was only US$800,000. According to Hollywood, this is only a C-level production!

As a result, it defeated many A-level productions and entered the top ten of the box office list. Naturally, it is worth being happy!

And it feels great.

"It's just the beginning now, and it will get better and better in the future!" Li Xiaolong said with a smile.

Hong Jinbao was still very envious and said: "It would be great if I could make such a great movie in the future!"

When Li Xiaolong heard what Hong Jinbao said, he laughed and said: "San Mao, you are not bad. I heard that the box office of your last movie exceeded 5 million, but it is amazing!"

Although Li Xiaolong's "Enter the Dragon" made a good start in Hollywood, as Li Xiaolong's hard-hitting film style began to make Hong Kong movie audiences feel aesthetic fatigue, the movie did not cause such a big sensation in Hong Kong.

On the contrary, the humorous action films led by Hong Jinbao began to slowly become the mainstream of action films in Hong Kong.

Hung Kam-bao said modestly: "Thanks to Mr. Huan's support, otherwise, I might still be exploring my own film style!"

Speaking of Chu Huan, Li Xiaolong looked at the time and said helplessly: "What time is it? Why hasn't Ah Huan come here yet!?"

Tonight's party was initiated by Li Xiaolong, who had already called Chu Huan, but it was obviously past time, and Li Xiaolong was inevitably a little worried.

Yuan Hua whispered: "I read in the newspaper that Mr. Huan has been attending various business gatherings during this period, either a charity gala of the Hong Kong Governor's Office or a dinner of the General Chamber of Commerce. Is there anything else that Mr. Huan has to do today?

Can’t make it?”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became a little depressed.

At this time, Chu Huan was no longer the same Chu Huan as before, although Chu Huan's business activities had been reported by newspapers in the past, and even "True News" had mentioned Chu Huan's net worth.

But no matter what at that time, in the minds of Li Xiaolong and others, Chu Huan's net worth did not exceed one billion.

There is a difference between less than one billion and more than one billion, or even two or three times more than one billion.

We are all adults, and we all know that everyone has different circles at different stages.

Status represents the difference in the person's circle.

Now whenever Chu Huan appears in newspapers, there are always some business tycoons around him, and where are they?

To put it nicely, he is a Hong Kong superstar, but to put it worse, he is actually just a wage earner.

The combined net worth of people like him is not even a fraction of Chu Huan's.

This is not because they are complaining about Chu Huan, but simply because they feel inferior...

Yuan Hua asked Hong Jinbao curiously: "Brother, how long has it been since you last seen Huan Shao?"

Hong Jinbao smiled awkwardly and said: "It's been half a year. You know what Mr. Huan has been busy with before. Not to mention seeing us, he rarely even goes to the company."

Black and white images are already out of reach for these people, but now Chu Huan doesn't even use black and white images.

Everyone sighed again.

"No, Ah Huan will definitely come over!"

Just when everyone was silent, Li Xiaolong was the first to break the silence.

And he affirmed again with great determination: "As long as Ah Huan says to come, he will definitely come!"

Yuan Hua didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that even if Chu Huan was willing to come over, he would most likely have to wait until he had finished his own business.

By that time, it might have been the time when they were about to finish.

Just when everyone was having their own thoughts, a dazzling light shone into the living room.

Everyone in the living room stood up with different expressions.

Li Xiaolong immediately walked out of the living room and came outside the villa, where he saw Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu walking out of the car.

After getting off the car, Chu Huan saw everyone standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "It's so grand, don't you think one of you wants to help me borrow money?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing Chu Huan's teasing, Li Xiaolong suddenly laughed and said: "Don't we have enough money of our own? Why do we need to borrow money from you?"

Chu Huan pretended to be relieved and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if we borrow money, we will be good friends if we don't borrow money!"

Everyone laughed.

Miao Kexiu, who was standing next to Chu Huan, smiled and said to Li Xiaolong: "Brother Long, I'm sorry, Brother Huan was waiting for me just now, otherwise we would have arrived long ago!"

Li Xiaolong said nonchalantly: "Ah Huan should wait for you. Besides, we don't have anything to do, right?"

Everyone walked back into the living room talking and laughing.

After sitting down, Chu Huan said to Hong Jinbao: "Sanmao, I heard from Fang Jianhui that you also want to set up your own satellite company?"

As Xu Guanwen established his own Xu's Pictures with the investment of Black and White Video, Hung Kam-bao also began to get ready to take action. After all, he could make more money by setting up his own film company... No one

Before setting up a film company, I thought my films would lose money.

Hong Jinbao thought that Chu Huan was not satisfied with what he did, so he smiled awkwardly: "I just want to see my own strength."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Your ability is definitely no problem. The market for humorous action movies is huge, even bigger than the market for Brother Long's hard-hitting movies. If you do it well, it will serve you for life!"

This is not that Chu Huan is bragging about the market for humorous action films, but that this has been proven in another time and space.

Watching too many Li Xiaolong movies will inevitably give people a sense of déjà vu, especially the action. After all, it is difficult to make much innovation in pure kung fu routines. Even Li Xiaolong will have a day when his talent is exhausted.

And this matter has begun to show up now. Otherwise, even if the movie "Crossing the Dragon" takes more into account the cultural attributes of Western audiences, the box office of the movie in Hong Kong should not be so low...

...compared to Li Xiaolong's other movies.

Hearing that Chu Huan was not complaining about himself, but encouraging him, Hong Jinbao's face flushed with excitement.

"Young Master Huan, don't worry, I will work hard!"

Li Xiaolong on the side pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Ah Huan, you are wrong, saying that my movie is not good in front of me. Don't forget that "Enter the Dragon" has achieved great success in North America.

"

Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "I don't believe Brother Long that you haven't discovered this on your own. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to South Korea to study "Crossing the Dragon" before it was released in Hong Kong.

Your "Game of Death"!"

Li Xiaolong's expression changed, and he said helplessly: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Way of the Dragon" did not do well at the box office in Hong Kong, which always made Li Xiaolong feel a little unhappy.

Chu Huan smiled proudly and said: "If you beg me, if you beg me, I will tell you!"

Li Xiaolong slapped his neck and said loudly: "Seniors can be killed, but not humiliated. Let me beg you, unless the sun rises from the east!"

Just when everyone was sighing at Li Xiaolong's toughness, Ding Pei said in confusion: "Isn't the sun rising in the east?"

Li Xiaolong immediately boasted and showed a flattering smile: "So, Ah Huan, please tell me quickly, Brother Long, please!"

Everyone looked like they were vomiting when they saw Li Xiaolong's appearance.

Chu Huan smiled and said: "It's actually very simple, that is, work hard on the story!"

Action movies all have a problem, that is, it is difficult to perfectly combine drama and action. Weak drama and drama seem to have become a label of action movies.

Li Xiaolong naturally understood this problem, and said with some scratching his head: "Everyone knows the prescriptions, but not everyone knows how to cure the disease?"

Action dramas and dramas have been weak for decades, and few movies have been able to solve this problem perfectly. So what Chu Huan says now seems a bit hollow in the eyes of Li Xiaolong and others!

Chu Huan thought for a while and said: "To put it simply, in the movie, you can't fight just for the sake of fighting, but there must be a story to foreshadow and suppress the emotions. When the critical point is reached, then the protagonist explodes. Only such an audience

Only when you watch it will you feel happy and will you feel that you have enjoyed this battle."

Chu Huan always believes that whether it is a novel, a movie, or a TV show, no matter what type it is, what we need to do is actually make the audience resonate with the content!

Love movies want to make the audience think that there is really beautiful love in this world, and the regret of not being able to love according to their true situation can be released in the movie.
