If you have to choose one kind of movie to represent Hong Kong movies, then kung fu movies are definitely the most competitive.
The appearance of Li Xiaolong made Kung Fu known to Xiangjiang and the whole world.
But it is a pity that Li Xiaolong was like a bright meteor that shined across the entire universe and then disappeared.
Subsequently, Hong Kong's kung fu movies fell into underestimation. The Hui brothers took over, and comedy movies became popular in Hong Kong movies.
But... this type of movies can only be successful in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other places with similar cultural attributes. They cannot reach the height of kung fu movies at all.
This is also the reason why Xu Guanwen, the first-generation comedy king in Hong Kong, who broke Li Xiaolong's box office record, cannot be compared with Li Xiaolong in terms of fame in later generations.
There are two people who are crucial to the rise of Kung Fu movies in Hong Kong after the death of Li Xiaolong.
Hong Jinbao, Liu Jialiang.
In 1977, Hong Jinbao wrote, directed, acted, and acted as action director in "The Monk of Three Virtues and Chung Mi Liu". He walked out of Li Xiaolong's routine of hard bridge and hard horse real kung fu, and created a precedent for comedy kung fu in Hong Kong movies, and then Cheng Cheng
The dragon's electric influence spreads throughout the world.
Liu Jialiang, the fourth generation direct disciple of Huang Feihong.
Shaw Brothers' Kung Fu films in the 1960s and 1970s were basically all directed by Liu Jialiang, including "The One-Armed Sword", which set a box office record in the Hong Kong film industry, and later "Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan", "Lu Atai and Wong Fei Hung", "
Movies such as "Thirty-Six Chambers of Shaolin".
However, Liu Jialiang is now a treasure of Shaw Brothers, and coupled with the relationship with the great director Chang Cheh, it is impossible for Liu Jialiang to change his career.
On the other hand, if Hung Kam-bao works hard, there will be no problem.
At this time, Hong Jinbao had not yet founded the famous Hung Family Class. Now he is only a relatively famous martial arts instructor in Shaw Brothers. He has also starred in some movies. However, due to image problems and the fact that he has not yet found his own acting path,
Therefore, Hong Jinbao’s status in Jiahe was not very high.
If Chu Huan wants to sign him, the problem won't be too big and it won't arouse Zou Wenhuai's resentment.
In addition, if Hong Jinbao can be signed, the Seven Little Fortunes behind him will basically belong to Chu Huan.
Cheng Long in the Seven Little Blessings will be a treasure in the future!
By the way, at this time, Cheng Long was not called Cheng Long, but Chen Yuanlou. If Chu Huan had not appeared, the name Chen Yuanlou would not have been known until 1976, when Cheng Long joined Luo Wei's film company.
Change your name to Cheng Long!
"Sanmao?" Li Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the person Chu Huan wanted was Hong Jinbao: "This is not a big problem. Although Sanmao has been working in Jiahe, he is not yet an actor in Jiahe, and Mr. Zou should not be able to
It’s too difficult, but..."
At the end, Li Xiaolong was a little embarrassed.
"But what?" Chu Huan asked.
Li Xiaolong said: "San Mao still has a lot of ideas. Your film company is just a newly established film company. I'm worried that he will..."
Although he didn't say it clearly, Chu Huan heard the implication and said with a smile: "Brother Long is worried that Sanmao doesn't like my company, right?"
Li Xiaolong laughed twice.
Chu Huan said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, you have to give it a try."
Li Xiaolong said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll make you an appointment for three cents now."
After finishing speaking, Li Xiaolong called Hong Jinbao. At this time, there was no mobile phone or pager, so it was not easy to find someone.
Fortunately, the circles of both parties were the same. After a phone call, Li Xiaolong learned that Jinbao Hung was currently working on the set of Golden Harvest.
I asked someone to tell me that Li Xiaolong had the guts to treat Hong Jinbao to dinner tonight, and the matter was settled.
Meeting Hong Jinbao is tonight. During this period, Chu Huan is preparing to meet Miao Kexiu.
After coming out of Mingde Garden, Chu Huan asked Qin Peng to drive to the apartment where Miao Kexiu rented.
Knocking on the door and opening the door, Miao Kexiu, who looked a little haggard, opened the door and saw Chu Huan standing at the door. Miao Kexiu's face suddenly changed. Maybe she felt that her current image was not very good, or maybe she was
For other reasons, the door is closed directly.
This made Chu Huan, who was standing at the door with a smile on his face, a little stunned.
There is something wrong with this way of meeting.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Miao Kexiu to reopen the door, put on a set of decent clothes, and combed her hair, but she didn't put on makeup.
In fact, girls in this era don’t wear much makeup, so the girls who go out in this era are really pretty!
The kind that is not adulterated.
"Chu, Mr. Chu, why are you here?"
After inviting Chu Huan into the room, Miao Kexiu's face turned red because her room was now very messy, with clothes scattered on the floor and several bottles of beer on the coffee table.
Thinking of Miao Kexiu's decadent appearance before, it is obvious that she was drinking to drown her sorrows.
"Well, my place is usually not that messy!" Miao Kexiu explained in a panic.
"Understandable!" Chu Huan said with a smile, walked to the sofa and wanted to sit down, but just looked at the clothes piled on the sofa...
Chu Huan pretended not to see anything and sat down.
"I just came over from Brother Long, and he told me about Jiahe's situation..."
Miao Kexiu's expression darkened, and she just hummed softly.
Chu Huan continued: "I actually have some responsibility for this matter. I just discussed it with Brother Long and I know that Jiahe wants you to rest for a while. If you want to continue making movies, I have
A way!"
Miao Kexiu's dark and bright eyes flashed with a hint of grace, "What can I do?"
Chu Huan said: "It's like this. I'm going to set up a new film company by myself, and you are the first actor I'm going to sign. In this case, you will naturally have movies to make!"
Miao Kexiu looked at Chu Huan in surprise. She really didn't expect that Chu Huan's method would be like this.
But then Miao Kexiu's face suddenly turned red...Does this count as being kept?
The investment in a movie costs hundreds of thousands. Doesn't Chu Huan's doing this seem like a compliment to people in the industry?
"That, this..." Miao Kexiu, who was in a panic, didn't know how to answer Chu Huan for a moment.
Chu Huan sat there and waited slowly without urging. After a while, Miao Kexiu suddenly asked: "Where is Miss Cao?"
After saying that, Miao Kexiu felt a little regretful.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "In business matters, Yun Shang and I do our own things."
Miao Kexiu hummed again in a low voice.
"You can think about this carefully. Don't be in a hurry. I also need some time to prepare for opening a company." Chu Huan still said calmly.
Miao Kexiu showed a sincere smile: "Thank you, Brother Huan, but I'm worried that you will lose money!"
Chu Huan laughed and said: "Don't worry, I have never lost money in business!"
It was not difficult to invite Miao Kexiu to join his film company. Although Miao Kexiu had gained some fame in Hong Kong at this time, Li Xiaolong's films had too strong personal traces, and the audience would always only remember Li Xiaolong.
Miao Kexiu was only slightly famous at this time, and could not compare with Zheng Peibei.
In addition, because of Miao Kexiu's scandal with Chu Huan, Jiahe was preparing to let her rest for a while. The little girl was upset when Chu Huan appeared and invited her to join his film company.
As the only actress in the film, it is impossible not to be tempted.
So Miao Kexiu simply thought about it for a while and agreed to Chu Huan's invitation.
"It's just that I still have a contract with Jiahe." Miao Kexiu said with some worry.
Chu Huan said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will talk to Mr. Zou personally."
When Miao Kexiu heard what Chu Huan said, she had nothing to worry about.
After taking care of Miao Kexiu, Chu Huan planned to talk to Zou Wenhuai after meeting Hong Jinbao. The future film tycoon in Xiangjiang, I wonder if he can still become a film industry tycoon after poaching Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long.
Already.
What Chu Huan didn't expect was that when he just walked out of Miao Kexiu's apartment, he saw two paparazzi. Seeing them taking photos of him with cameras, Qin Peng was already standing in front of Chu Huan.
Before.
If he hadn't seen that the other party was a reporter and had not taken any further action, Qin Peng would have taken action.
"Master Huan, are you here to comfort Miao Kexiu?"
"Master Huan, now you come to see Miao Kexiu and how are you going to deal with the Cao family?"
"Young Master Huan, there are rumors that you are going to marry Cao Yunshang soon. Now that you are in love with Cao Yunshang, will your wedding with Cao Yunshang still be held as scheduled?"
Okay, Chu Huan hasn't spoken yet, these two paparazzi have already finalized Chu Huan's matter.
Chu Huan's behavior at this time was not like his previous character. He left without paying attention to the two paparazzi. Instead, he deliberately stopped and answered their questions.
"Miss Miao and I are just ordinary friends, and we may even become superiors and subordinates in the future. I am not here just to comfort Miss Miao, but I want to set up a film company and specially invite Miss Miao to join."
"In addition, I have a very good relationship with Yun Shang, and she also knows my relationship with Miss Miao. Yun Shang and I met Miss Miao by chance when we went to the movies that day. As for getting married, we were still very young.
We still have to wait until after graduation!”
After saying what he wanted to say, Chu Huan no longer answered the paparazzi's questions, but directly got into the car and left under the protection of Qin Peng.
"Brother Huan, why are you paying attention to these people?" Qin Peng got into his car and said angrily as he looked at the paparazzi who were still taking pictures outside.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Because I want some people to see this news and think that I will not have any impact on them!"
Qin Peng was stunned and didn't understand what Chu Huan meant. Fortunately, although Qin Peng talked a lot, he also knew what to ask and what not to ask.
"Let's go home and have a rest first. I'll take you to eat well tonight!" Chu Huan patted Qin Peng on the shoulder and asked him to drive home first!
