In ancient times, kings did not go to court early, but now Chu Huan does not go out!
In the following days, Chu Huan lived in Miao Kexiu's apartment, bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and even the storage room... Chu Huan's foot hair was left in these places.
Girls who practice martial arts are just different.
The flexibility of their bodies allowed Chu Huan to unlock many postures that she had only heard of before but never had the chance to try.
The ups and downs outside seemed to have ceased to exist for Chu Huan.
If Li Xiaolong hadn't called Miao Kexiu's apartment today, Chu Huan would have prepared to unlock another pose today.
She called Lin Feng and asked him to come pick her up.
Then Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu took a car and arrived at Li Xiaolong's new villa on Kimballoon Road in Kowloon Tong.
Looking from the outside in, this villa actually doesn't catch Chu Huan's eyes at all. It is a gray two-story house, which is still inferior to the luxury homes in other places in Hong Kong, such as Peak Road and Repulse Bay.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu came to the living room and met Li Xiaolong's family, as well as Yuan Hua and others.
Seeing Chu Huan coming over, Li Xiaolong immediately showed a laughing expression. Then he saw Chu Huan holding Miao Kexiu's hand without hesitation, and his happy expression added a hint of relief.
"Haha, Ah Huan, you can do it. A "Dragon and Tiger Fight" is expected to have a box office of over one million. Your black and white images can be considered to be established in Hong Kong!"
Li Xiaolong did not ask about Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu, but congratulated Chu Huan Film Company's movie "Dragon Tiger Fight" for getting a good box office.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "If someone else said that, I would think they were complimenting me, but if you say that, Brother Long, then you are just looking at my joke."
The first film "Dragon Tiger Fight" in black and white had a box office of over one million, but Li Xiaolong's first film after returning to Hong Kong, "Brother Tangshan" directly broke the box office record in Hong Kong, with a box office of 3.2 million.
, the difference is three times.
Li Xiaolong smiled proudly and said: "I can't help it, who let my personal charm be displayed here."
While talking, several people sat down. Chu Huan put the gift in his hand on the coffee table and said with a smile: "This is a gift for you, Brother Long. The first is to congratulate you on moving into your new home, and the second is to congratulate you on being selected.
Black Belt Hall of Fame!"
Just this year, Li Xiaolong was inducted into the "Black Belt" Hall of Fame. He was the first Chinese martial artist to be inducted. In subsequent years, when "Black Belt" selected world martial artists, Li Xiaolong would be inducted and ranked first.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of "Black Belt". For the first time, the "Seven Famous Martial Arts Masters in the World" were selected. Li Xiaolong ranked first, followed by American-Filipino master Dan Evian, who is proficient in karate, judo, and aikido.
, kendo, and he is also Li Xiaolong’s assistant instructor in North American martial arts schools.
The third place is Japanese karate master Yamaguchi Takeshi.
The fourth one is also the Japanese Aikido master Yamada Yoshimitsu, who is also the chairman of the North American Aikido Association.
The fifth place is still the Japanese Sone Taizan, who is well-known in the field of Jiu-Jitsu.
The sixth North American karate athlete, Joseph Heath.
The seventh place is judo player Du Green.
To say how authoritative the selection of "Black Belt" is, it would be a joke. It can be seen from the personnel that the people selected by this magazine, except Li Xiaolong, are either Japanese or North American. This is also because
The person who founded "Black Belt" magazine was a Japanese-American Mito Uehara.
When this magazine was first founded, the most introduced martial arts were karate, aikido, and taekwondo.
But Li Xiaolong was able to top the list in this selection, which shows his reputation in the martial arts world.
Li Xiaolong smiled reservedly: "It's just the magazine amusing itself. Telling it will make people laugh for nothing."
After chatting for a while, Chu Huan continued to ask Li Xiaolong: "You came back this time to move into a new home, right?"
Li Xiaolong nodded and said: "Yes, it happens that the filming of "The Dragon Crossing the River" needs a few days of rest, so I will take advantage of this time to make arrangements."
Li Xiaolong was no longer satisfied with shooting the movie "The Way of the Dragon" in Hong Kong, but instead headed to Italy to shoot on location.
"I went to the theater last night to watch the movie "Dragon and Tiger Fight". San Mao and Lou Zai's performance was pretty good, but why do I feel that their kung fu is a bit of a juggling act?"
This time it was Li Xiaolong who asked Chu Huan.
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "In Xiangjiang, among the hard-hitting Kung Fu movies, which one can compare to your movie, Brother Long? Rather than hitting an egg against a stone, it's better to find another way."
Li Xiaolong nodded and said, "That's true."
Then Li Xiaolong seemed dissatisfied and asked: "But why did you change Yuan Lou's name to Cheng Long?"
Chu Huan said without hesitation: "I want Cheng Long to become a superstar like you in the future."
Seeing what Chu Huan said so confidently, Li Xiaolong smiled helplessly and said, "You are so direct and don't know how to be subtle at all."
Chu Huan said with a smile: "What's there to hide? Do you want to do business? As long as you can make money, there's nothing to be ashamed of!"
Li Xiaolong laughed. In fact, Li Xiaolong didn't care at all about Yuan Lou changing his name to Cheng Long, and was even a little happy. This showed Li Xiaolong's prestige in Xiangjiang.
"Do you still remember what we said before?" Li Xiaolong suddenly asked Chu Huan.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Brother Long, don't worry. I promise to keep the theaters for you in January next year. By then, Shanhai Cinema will release your "The Way of the Dragon" across the board."
The release date of "Enter the Dragon" has not yet been determined, but based on the filming progress of the film and the importance Golden Harvest attaches to the film, there are already rumors that the film will be released in Hong Kong during New Year's Day.
Although there is no concept of schedule in Hong Kong at this time, everyone still knows when a movie will be released to have a greater impact on the box office.
Li Xiaolong laughed and said, "I won't say thank you to you anymore."
"Say thank you and then show up!" Chu Huan also laughed loudly.
"But Brother Long, I heard that Mr. Zou is determined to have this movie released worldwide?" Chu Huan asked Li Xiaolong.
The smile on Li Xiaolong's face became more and more obvious: "I do have this idea, and now Mr. Zou and I are working on it."
Looking at Li Xiaolong's smile, Chu Huan still shook his head silently in his heart. The movie "Crossing the Dragon" finally completed its global release, but it actually took a long time.
In Xiangjiang, the film was released during New Year's Day in 1973, but in other places, especially North America, it had to wait until 1974 to be released.
But we have to admit that this movie was the first movie that officially introduced Li Xiaolong to the world. According to later statistics, this movie has achieved a global box office of nearly 100 million US dollars worldwide.
And his next movie "Enter the Dragon" was even more exaggerated, with a global box office of US$230 million.
It has been re-released multiple times in many countries.
It aroused strong reactions everywhere it went.
For example, when this movie was released in Poland, the number of viewers reached 17.26 million, ranking second in the history of Polish foreign-language films, surpassing the mainland film "Shaolin Temple"!
After being released many times in Japan, the cumulative box office reached 5.06 billion yen. This cumulative total would not be exceeded until 2000 by Wu Baige's "Red Cliff".
In addition, when this movie was released in North America, it also took in a box office of 23 million US dollars, ranking tenth on the box office list that year!
"I believe that when this movie is released in North America, it will definitely cause a huge sensation. By then, Brother Long, you can have a return of the king!"
Chu Huan smiled.
When Li Xiaolong was in North America, he had already participated in the filming of Hollywood movies. The one everyone knows is "The Green Hornet".
Later, Jay Chou also participated in the remake of this movie!
However, because of Li Xiaolong's skin color, he was not taken seriously in Hollywood, which is why he decided to return to Hong Kong and start over again.
After hearing this, Li Xiaolong put away his smile and said seriously: "I must return to Hollywood."
Chu Huan looked at Li Xiaolong and said with a smile: "It's not to prove how great I am, but to tell them that I must get back what I lost!"
What to get back?
Dignity and respect!
Li Xiaolong understood what Chu Huan meant and immediately smiled and said: "Yes, that's what it means."
They both laughed at the same time.
Chu Huan stated his ultimate goal: "Brother Long, have you ever thought about the two of us working together?"
In this era, he also chose to start his own film company. If he did not cooperate with a legendary figure like Li Xiaolong, it would definitely be a big regret for Chu Huan.
Li Xiaolong showed a troubled expression: "Ah Huan, although we have not known each other for a long time, our friendship is not shallow. To be honest, I also want to cooperate with you, but there are some things... Jiahe is treating me...
Yes, if I cooperate with you, what will the world think of me? Will they say that I, Li Xiaolong, am an ungrateful person?"
Chu Huan laughed and said: "Brother Long, you misunderstood. The cooperation I told you was not in Xiangjiang, but in Hollywood. I believe you will return to Hollywood sooner or later, so what I hope is that you will be able to work together in Hollywood."
How about the two of us working together on a movie?"
Since Chu Huan has become very good friends with Li Xiaolong, it is naturally impossible for Chu Huan to watch Li Xiaolong die young like he did in another time and space.
This matter must definitely be prevented.
Chu Huan didn't know what height Li Xiaolong would have reached if he had not died, but he wanted to see it.
Of course, there is another reason for this. Chu Huan knows very well that for nearly forty years to come, the North American market will always be the center of the global film market.
Although Chu Huan originally wanted to confuse Chu Tianxiao when he founded the film company, this does not mean that Chu Huan does not attach importance to this industry. In the future, the entertainment industry will definitely become one of Chu Huan's many industries.
Either don't do it, or if you do, it will naturally be bigger. So even if the entertainment business is not the strongest among Chu Huan's many industries in the future, long-term planning must be done.
Now that Chu Huan people are in Xiangjiang, there should be no problem in spreading the market throughout Southeast Asia with Xiangjiang as the center, but what about the European and American markets?
Chu Huan needs a stepping stone, and looking at it now, the most suitable person to be this stepping stone is undoubtedly Li Xiaolong.
As for Li Xiaolong himself, he may just regard returning to Hollywood as a goal that needs to be achieved in the future. At this moment, he has no idea of going.
However, after the global success of "Enter the Dragon" and "Enter the Dragon", Li Xiaolong determined his intention to develop in Hollywood at that time.
Yuan Hua, Lin Zhengying and others who were with Li Xiaolong at that time also received a notice from Li Xiaolong, telling them to prepare to go to North America for development after filming the movie "Game of Death".
But fate plays tricks!
This time Chu Huan wanted to see if he would change history if he appeared.
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Li Xiaolong immediately smiled: "Haha, there is no problem. Anyway, I will need financial support when I get there."
Chu Huan nodded seriously and said: "This is true."
Li Xiaolong's expression froze, and then he laughed helplessly.
At this time Linda Emery also came to inform everyone that the food was ready and ready to be served.
At the dinner table, Li Xiaolong told Chu Huan about the script of "Crossing the River". With the experience of the last "Fist of Fury", Li Xiaolong believed that Chu Huan must have good insights into the story.
Chu Huan did not hide his secrets and put forward some suggestions, but he also told Li Xiaolong that his suggestions were just for mutual discussion between friends, and whether Li Xiaolong would adopt them or not entirely depended on the needs of the film shooting.
After dinner, Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu did not leave immediately. Instead, they came to his study with Li Xiaolong. Mingdeyuan took out the things in the study in the apartment and asked Li Xiaolong to move them, especially
It's the electric shock device.
In Chu Huan's view, this set of electric shock equipment has even been upgraded by Li Xiaolong.
"Ah Huan, how about it? I asked you to try it last time, but you didn't agree. Do you have any ideas this time?"
Li Xiaolong pointed at the electric shock equipment and preached to Chu Huan with ulterior motives.
Yuan Hua and Lin Zhengying showed lingering fears, and at the same time they looked at Chu Huan with eyes full of expectation.
I have suffered the same thing, and I hope others will try it.
In the end, Chu Huan just replied to Li Xiaolong with a haha!
Whoever wants to try this thing can try it. Anyway, I don’t have a hobby of abusing myself, and my waist is a little painful during this period, so Chu Huan is even less likely to agree.
Not only did he not agree, Chu Huan also reminded Li Xiaolong.
"Brother Long, do you see yourself as a movie actor or a martial artist now?"
Li Xiaolong was slightly startled. He didn't expect Chu Huan to ask such a question, but Li Xiaolong then said without any doubt: "I am both a martial artist and a movie actor."
Sure enough, in the adult world, there is no choice but I want it all!
"By the way, Ah Huan, why do you ask me that?"
Because I thought you would say that you are now a movie actor, so I can advise you.
Regardless of the cause of Li Xiaolong's death, it was because the training was too intense, which overdrawn his vitality, leading to his death in Ding Pei's room.
Or he was really ambushed by the Xiangjiang society.
Chu Huan hoped that Li Xiaolong would give up on electric shock. There were two possibilities, neither of which Chu Huan wanted to happen.
"I once read a medical magazine that mentioned this electric shock stimulation method. It said that although this method can improve people's potential, it can also cause serious damage to the body and even overdraw one's own vitality. Therefore,
If possible, I hope you can give up this method of exercise!"
"What?" Yuan Hua couldn't help but shout in surprise, and so did Lin Zhengying.
They had always regarded this method as an inhuman exercise method of Li Xiaolong, and didn't think much about it. At most, they admired Li Xiaolong's endurance in their hearts, but now they heard Chu Huan say this.
They were somewhat surprised.
"Master Huan, is this true?" Yuan Hua couldn't help but ask after being surprised.
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Do you think I would joke with you about this kind of thing?"
Magazine? Chu Huan must not have seen it, but as long as Chu Huan wants to, I believe Chu Huan can easily find some authoritative doctors in Xiangjiang to prove his statement.
Only then did Yuan Hua remember Chu Huan's identity. The Chu Huan at this time was no longer the Chu Huan he was when they first met. Now Chu Huan's energy in Xiangjiang was unmatched by even Li Xiaolong.
"Brother Huan will definitely not joke about this kind of thing." Miao Kexiu said at this time.
Yuan Hua laughed twice and stopped talking.
Li Xiaolong, on the other hand, showed a complicated expression and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am not an ordinary person. Those kinds of harm do not exist to me."
Still so strong!
Li Xiaolong is not a person who is easily persuaded by others. At the same time, Li Xiaolong's obsession with martial arts has reached an appalling level, otherwise he would not have thought of using such a method to improve his potential.
Now it is impossible for him to make any changes because of Chu Huan's words.
Chu Huan said: "When it comes to your own body, I would rather believe it or not. I think it is better to pay more attention, so I think it is better to do this. In the future, we will find a doctor to do regular body examinations for you. If there is no
Naturally, everyone is happy, and if there is a problem, it can be discovered and treated early, right?"
Regarding Chu Huan's suggestion, Li Xiaolong did not reject it immediately, but fell into consideration.
Seeing this, Chu Huan continued: "Brother Long, don't forget that you have to go to Hollywood to expand our territory. If your body collapses, you won't be able to do anything. And those who once looked down on you will
, and you will never see their regrets.”
This sentence touched on Li Xiaolong's pain point. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, Ah Huan, what you said makes sense, but I don't know such a doctor in Xiangjiang. If I go to the hospital rashly,
It will definitely attract media attention, and then we will be in trouble."
Chu Huan smiled and said: "It's simple. I will handle this matter. Then you only need to wait at home for the doctor to come to your door."
Li Xiaolong showed a moved expression: "Ah Huan, thank you!"
Chu Huan laughed and said: "Brother Long, I didn't expect you to have such a stained day!"
The affectionate Li Xiaolong's face suddenly turned red when Chu Huan teased him like this. Then when he saw Yuan Hua, Lin Zhengying, and Miao Kexiu holding back their laughter, his expression turned red immediately.
"Okay, how dare you make fun of me? Have you forgotten that I am a martial arts master in the "Black Belt" Hall of Fame?"
After saying that, Li Xiaolong came directly to Chu Huan.
When Chu Huan saw this, he dared to fight against Li Xiaolong, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, let alone those with his own physique.
What's more, he is still weak now.
So when she saw Li Xiaolong coming, Chu Huan turned around and ran away, but how could Chu Huan outrun Li Xiaolong in the small study room.
Not long after, Chu Huan was caught by Li Xiaolong.
Seeing that Chu Huan couldn't run away, luckily he stopped running and started fighting with Li Xiaolong. It was obvious that Li Xiaolong didn't have any real intentions with Chu Huan, but was just joking around.
Otherwise, Chu Huan should have gone to the hospital by this time.
But even so, Chu Huan was no match for Li Xiaolong. He was quickly pinned to the ground by Li Xiaolong. Seeing that he couldn't break free, Chu Huan didn't think much and directly used a move to lift his vaginal leg.
Ouch!!!!
Li Xiaolong, who had never expected that Chu Huan would use this move, screamed, covered his life, jumped up on the ground, and then pointed a finger at Chu Huan, with a painful expression and nothing to say.
Chu Huan stood up with a proud look on his face, "All martial arts in the world are invincible, except speed. A man will be a man after all!"
Li Xiaolong saw Chu Huan's stern look and said loudly: "Just wait for me."
"Haha, you don't have a chance!" After Chu Huan said that, Miao Kexiu, who wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to laugh, ran out of the study and ran out of the study, said hello to Li Xiaolong's wife, and left directly.
After Chu Huan left, Li Xiaolong twisted his body, sat on the sofa, glared at Yuan Hua and Lin Zhengying and said, "No one is allowed to tell anyone about this matter!"
"yes!"
Yuan Hua and Lin Zhengying held back their laughter while preaching.
...
"Brother Huan, you are too bad, that, that..." Sitting in the car, Miao Kexiu could finally laugh unbridled.
Chu Huan said: "Are you saying that it hurts to look at it?"
Miao Kexiu nodded seriously.
"Actually, I have an identity that I haven't told you!" Chu Huan also said seriously at this time.
Miao Kexiu looked at Chu Huan curiously and asked, "What is your identity?"
"Actually, I am a martial arts master!" Chu Huan said.
Miao Kexiu looked at Chu Huan speechlessly.
Chu Huan reminded Miao Kexiu at this time: "You must remember this incident. When I write my autobiography in a few decades, I must include this paragraph."
"That's it." Miao Kexiu said with a smile: "Even if Brother Long is already on crutches, he will definitely come to trouble you."
"Hmph, at worst, let him taste my vaginal legs again!"
Chu Huan said with disdain.
Miao Kexiu: "......"
...
No matter how good the countryside is, you can't indulge in it. After celebrating Li Xiaolong's move, Chu Huan returned to work.
First, I inspected my company as usual.
Brothers Video Store is now opening a chain store in an orderly manner, renovating each store and opening one by one. A few months have passed, and now there are five chain stores of Brother Video Store.
Nothing can be seen below.
But the company already had the capital to negotiate with major record companies... At this time, in order to facilitate management, when the second video store began to be renovated, Chu Huan had already established a brother audio and video company, specifically responsible for
Negotiate with major labels to get records at lower prices.
In terms of management personnel, Bao Tianming has not officially joined the company yet, and Chu Huan has talked to him several times, but Bao Tianming has never given Chu Huan an accurate answer, and he obviously has his own concerns.
Chu Huan did not force Bao Tianming on this matter. Although there was no problem with trust between the two, Chu Huan also understood that everyone had their own ideas.
In order to avoid exposing herself in advance, even when recruiting people, Chu Huan did not formally appear. Instead, Zhu Xiaozhao acted as the agent, while Chu Huan listened in another room.
The reason why Bao Tianming was not used was because Bao Tianming was still lying in the hospital at that time.
Because Brother Video Store was already on track at this time, it was naturally impossible for Chu Huan to ask directly, so Chu Huan asked Bao Tianming, who had just recovered from a serious injury, to ask about the company.
Although Bao Tianming has not officially joined the company, during this period of development of Brother Audio and Video Company, Bao Tianming has always appeared as the person in charge, so there are already small-scale rumors that Bao Tianming is the boss of Brother Audio and Video Company.
Brother Audio and Video Company does have some problems, but this problem does not occur in management and development, but in the decoration of the new store. In fact, it is not a big problem, it is just that the original decoration team was replaced by another team.
Since the eldest brother Cheng had his eye on this decoration project, he naturally would not give up just like that, so after he approached Bao Tianming several times to get emotional, Bao Tianming found Chu Huan, hoping that Chu Huan could take care of the decoration matter.
Leave it all to big brother Cheng.
Although Bao Tianming was looking for a decoration team from their club before, now his eldest brother Cheng wants to take the business completely into his own hands.
In short, you have to steal even your own people’s business!
"Brother Huan, I know you don't want to have more contact with the club, but to save you the trouble, let him do this. But I can assure you that there will definitely be no problem with the quality."
Bao Tianming preached to Chu Huan like this.
Chu Huan smiled at that time and said: "Since you said that, I have no problem. Again, if you want to do anything, remember to inform me in advance. I don't want anything like the last time to happen again."
Bao Tianming nodded: "Let me think about it again, and I will tell you when I make up my mind!"
Chu Huan said nothing.
After asking Bao Tianming about the company, Chu Huan went to find Zhu Xiaozhao. Compared to Bao Tianming, Zhu Xiaozhao's situation was much smoother.
The newly opened chain store has completed renovation and started business.
But because Chu Huan had done so too quickly before, it would take some time to get back the money.
After inspecting these two companies, Chu Huan returned to his current base camp and found Fang Jianhui.
Promotional work for "The Great Warlord" is about to begin!
