Although it is already mid-May, the stock market crash in Xiangjiang is actually still continuing. Everyone thinks that when the stock market crash started in March, it was already at its peak.
But later they discovered that they had underestimated the stock market crash.
After the collective collapse of real estate stocks, stocks in other industries in Hong Kong were not spared and fell one after another.
Less than ten stocks are traded every day!
The entire Xiangjiang was shrouded in a sad color at this time.
Under such circumstances, the quarrel between Chu Huan and Huang Yulang resumed, adding a bit of joy to the slightly miserable Xiangjiang!
It’s still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.
"I don't understand what Huang Yulang is thinking. Is it because the losses in this stock market crash were so huge that his brain is broken?"
"It's not that his brain is broken, what else could it be? Chu Huan has already said before that he doesn't want to talk to him anymore. If anyone is looking for trouble again, he will be a puppy. He shouldn't think that Chu Huan has forgotten what he said, right?
?”
"Hey, it doesn't work anymore. Look, Chu Huan's reply this time is still the same, Huang Zhenlong: Woof!"
The scolding war between Chu Huan and Huang Zhenlong has been going on for several days. Chu Huan is trying to overcome all obstacles. No matter what Huang Yulang says, his reply will always be these five words: Huang Zhenlong: Woof!
But even so, people who eat melon still want to watch it!
This naturally boosted the sales of "True News".
In the past few days of Chu Huan's exclusive interview and Chu Huan's scolding battle with Huang Yulang, the sales volume of a single issue of "True News" has exceeded 70,000 copies!
Compared with before, it has increased seven times!
In addition, Gu Chengxi also seized this opportunity and began to invite various economic experts in Xiangjiang to analyze the current stock market problems in Xiangjiang.
Although other newspapers have also done this, this is what the audience in Xiangjiang is most concerned about now, so "True News" can be regarded as taking advantage of this excellent exposure opportunity to win more readers.
"Editor-in-Chief, we are so lucky. Although the sales volume will drop a bit after the war between Chu Huan and Huang Yulang is over, I think there will be no problem in maintaining the single-issue sales volume of 50,000 copies!"
Lin Ting looked at Gu Chengxi excitedly and with admiration.
"This is all due to your ability as editor-in-chief. It's so amazing!"
Looking at his little crush, Gu Chengxi couldn't be happy. In the eyes of outsiders, he was the one who caught the scolding war between Chu Huan and Huang Yulang and quickly rose up with "True Report".
But what about actually?
Behind all of this, Chu Huan was helping him add fuel to the flames. He first handed his post scolding Huang Yulang to "True News" for publication, which increased the popularity of "True News", and then quickly contacted a wave of people from the University of Hong Kong.
Economic experts analyze the current stock market situation.
This is why even though all Hong Kong newspapers were reporting on the Hong Kong stock market crash and hired their own economic experts, "True News" was still able to maintain its sales.
Even the future main direction of "Zhen Bao" was determined by Chu Huan.
Entertainment and business, stay away from politics!
These are the two sections that Xiangjiang readers are most interested in, but they are also the ones where I need Chu Huan’s help the most.
"By the way, editor-in-chief, we have made an appointment for an exclusive interview with Lin Qingxia tomorrow. Do you think it would be appropriate to send that reporter there?"
Lin Ting didn't know what Gu Chengxi was thinking now, but she just felt that her editor-in-chief was too powerful. Lin Qingxia had starred in the black-and-white "Happy Ghost" and another movie, and now she and Zhao Yazhi have become the most popular in Hong Kong.
Two hot young female stars.
Lin Qingxia's exclusive interview is at the front, Zhao Yazhi's interview is at the back, and there are also some other star actors and actresses from the black and white video, who will all be interviewed by "True News" one after another.
After Gu Chengxi took a long breath, he named a person and asked him to be responsible for the exclusive interview with Lin Qingxia.
Lin Ting didn't understand why her editor-in-chief was unhappy now that "True News" was doing very well.
However, Lin Ting still knew what was appropriate and did not ask too many questions. Instead, she went directly to convey Gu Chengxi's instructions to the reporter.
...
"After this incident, the sales of "Zhen Bao" should be stable, right?"
In Jiahu Building, Cao Yunshang sat in Chu Huan's office and asked curiously.
"If this doesn't work, then Gu Chengxi can really slap himself in the face!"
Chu Huan took a glass of iced Coke and sat next to Cao Yunshang.
"But I heard that Huang Yulang took advantage of this hype to increase the sales of his "Little Rascals" comic series!" Cao Yunshang said with a smile.
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. In fact, Huang Yulang was not our opponent from the beginning. Everything is just his wishful thinking!"
"Then who is your opponent?" Cao Yunshang adjusted his sitting posture and asked Chu Huan.
"Japan's "Boy Jump", North America's DC and Marvel!" Chu Huan said calmly.
In the East at this time, comics were in the process of pioneering and expanding, but the North American comics industry had entered a golden period of development. At this time, DC had been acquired by Warner, and Marvel had experienced 1954 and was taken over by the North American Senate.
After the prosecution, he also got out of his first trough.
The original Justice League and Avengers from both companies have also been launched.
Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy to fight!"
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "Comics are the same as novels. The most important thing is the story. As long as the story is exciting enough, there is no need to worry about their sales."
Cao Yunshang nodded and said, "That's true."
After the two chatted for a while, Cao Yunshang looked at the time and said, "Let's go, it's almost time!"
Cao's mother Zhou Meiqi called before and asked Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang to go home for dinner tonight. Because Chu Huan had something to do, Cao Yunshang came to pick up Chu Huan.
...
Everything was going smoothly on Chu Huan's side, but Li Xiaolong was in trouble at this time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brother Long, I think it's better to just give them the protection money. It's not a lot anyway, just treat it as a loss of money and avoid disaster."
Because the movie "Enter the Dragon" has a night scene tonight, after filming the afternoon scenes, the crew did not go home, but stayed on the set to have dinner and prepare to continue filming later.
Lin Zhengying also took advantage of this moment to come to Li Xiaolong and preach to Li Xiaolong who was eating a box lunch.
The concept of crew hierarchy in this era is not that serious. There is no difference between the leading role, the supporting role, and the extras. They all eat box lunches.
In Shaw Brothers, the situation is even more exaggerated, as the leading actors and supporting actors receive the same salary.
Later, there was a comedian in the Hong Kong film industry, Chen Baixiang, who discovered this matter. So after starring in several movies, he decided that it would be more enjoyable to play a supporting role. There were fewer scenes and the same pay, so he could finish this movie.
This movie is more enjoyable than the starring role!
Hearing Lin Zhengying's words, Li Xiaolong stabbed his chopsticks on the lunch box and said coldly: "Fart, the previous movies were all funded by Xiangjiang, and those people were given protection fees. Now this "Enter the Dragon"
》With investment from Hollywood, those short mules are not ashamed of themselves, but I still feel ashamed!”
People say that the 1980s and 1990s were the craziest time when Hong Kong clubs invaded the entertainment industry.
The reason why I say this is because the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang was in its golden age at that time. Many groups saw the profits from the film industry and established their own film companies. In addition, consulting during that period was relatively developed, and the video materials left behind
Also more.
But in fact, in the 1970s, the harassment of the Hong Kong entertainment industry by the society was also very serious, but at this time the society had not yet established its own film company.
Not long after the movie "Enter the Dragon" started filming in Hong Kong, people from the society came to the set to collect protection money.
Li Xiaolong believed that this movie had Hollywood investment, and that people from the society would embarrass the people of Hong Kong by coming to the set to collect premiums, so he directly rejected the other party's request.
This made Lin Zhengying, Yuan Hua and others a little worried.
"Brother Long, it's better to do less than to do more. Why worry about those people? All of them are barefoot. If they come to the set to cause trouble, we will lose more than we gain!"
Yuan Hua still wanted to put things to rest.
Li Xiaolong waved his hand and said: "I said I won't give it, so I won't give it. I want to see what they can do!"
Seeing Li Xiaolong's firm attitude, Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hua turned around and left helplessly.
The two came to a corner, and Lin Zhengying curiously asked Yuan Hua: "What happened to Brother Long this time? Brother Long would not be so impulsive in the past. Is it really because the movie "Enter the Dragon" has Hollywood investment?"
reason?"
Yuan Hua was smarter and said helplessly: "Hollywood investment is just an excuse. Do you know which society is here to collect protection fees this time?"
Lin Zhengying showed a curious expression: "That club?"
"Xin'an (it's good that everyone knows about that club, the main reason is that I'm afraid of being blocked, so I can only modify it like this.)!" Yuan Hua spat out two words.
Lin Zhengying then showed a look of surprise and said: "It turns out it's them. This makes sense."
After finishing speaking, Lin Zhengying's eyes fell on Ding Pei next to Li Xiaolong.
Although Ding Pei did not participate in the film, she would often come to visit the cast, and today was no exception. Her relationship with Li Xiaolong has been made public to the crew.
As for Lin Zhengying's focus on Ding Pei after Yuan Hua finished talking about Xin'an, there was also a reason.
Because everyone knows that before Ding Pei and Li Xiaolong got together, there was always a crazy suitor beside Ding Pei, and this suitor is Xiang Weiqiang, the half-brother of Xinan's leading four-eyed dragon!
It's just that King Xiang has intention, but the goddess has no intention!
Now that Ding Pei and Li Xiaolong have come together, this result is naturally unacceptable to Xiang Meiqiang.
"No, I remembered that this is not Xin'an's territory!" Lin Zhengying suddenly thought of something and said.
Yuan Hua muttered: "Who knows what's going on with people in these societies!"
While the two of them were talking about these things, Li Xiaolong had already begun to greet everyone to start filming.
Yuan Hua and Lin Zhengying naturally ended their conversation and prepared to take pictures.
Tonight's scene was a night battle between Li Xiaolong's character and people from the enemy camp. However, it was not filmed inside Qingshan Temple. Instead, a temporary filming area was set up outside.
At this time, Li Xiaolong was naked, revealing his muscular upper body. As director Robert Close started shooting, Li Xiaolong and others quickly got into the mood.
But just as they were preparing to take the photo, several burning gasoline bottles suddenly flew out of nowhere.
The gasoline bottles instantly ignited a fire when they hit the ground, and one of them was even thrown directly towards Li Xiaolong.
When Lin Zhengying saw Yuan Hua, who was waiting for the show to start, he quickly exclaimed: "Brother Long!"
Li Xiaolong was also startled by the sudden change, but he immediately reacted and kicked the gasoline bottle flying toward him away with a side kick.
The gasoline bottle fell to the ground and immediately burst into flames.
Seeing that there was no more fire behind them, everyone immediately began to frantically enter the fire-fighting stage.
Li Xiaolong was also protected by a group of martial artists.
Ding Pei immediately ran to Li Xiaolong's side and asked with concern: "Brother Long, are you okay?"
Li Xiaolong said with a livid face, "It's okay!"
Then Li Xiaolong ordered the martial arts masters around him: "Don't worry about me, you hurry up and put out the fire!"
With such an incident happening to the crew, there was naturally no way to continue filming. In the end, Li Xiaolong could only announce with a cold face that today's filming was over, and everyone could go back to rest after cleaning up the things here.
After saying this, Li Xiaolong came to the site attendant and asked: "No one was injured. Is the machine damaged?"
The field attendant hurriedly said: "A martial artist was burned, and several machines were damaged. We need to replace them with new ones!"
Hearing this answer, Li Xiaolong's expression became even more ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Immediately put that martial artist into my car and take him to the hospital. Let the machine tell the company and let them prepare a new one tomorrow!"
"Okay, okay!" the steward replied hurriedly.
Li Xiaolong then got into Ding Pei's car and left the set with a gloomy look on his face.
"Brother Long, I'm sorry, this whole thing is all my fault!" Ding Pei said anxiously while sitting in the car.
Li Xiaolong waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that the other party is bullying others too much!"
...
Not far from the filming site of "Enter the Dragon", several short mules looked proud and walked in the other direction arm-in-arm.
"Did you just see that Li Xiaolong's kick was so cool!"
Although they were arsonists, this did not stop their personal admiration for Li Xiaolong.
"Fuck, I threw it too early just now. If I threw it with you later, Li Xiaolong would definitely not be able to catch the two gasoline bottles!"
"Hey, do you think Li Xiaolong will give in this time and give him protection money?"
"I guess I should give it to him, as long as I don't torture him enough this time!"
While several short mules were chatting, they came to the foot of the Qingshan Temple. There was a black car parked here. A young man wearing white half-sleeves and bell-bottom pants, wearing sunglasses, leaned against the car and held his hand in his hand.
Holding a cigarette.
"Brother Qiang!"
"Brother Qiang!"
When several dwarf mules saw each other, they immediately ran over and shouted happily.
This person is naturally the mastermind of this matter, Xiang Wei from Xin'an is strong!
Xiang Eiqiang was born in 1948 and is just 25 this year.
"How about it?"
Why Long Wu, played by Xiang Mingqiang, is so successful is actually because he is acting in his true character. Normally, he is serious and unsmiling.
"Brother Qiang, don't worry. With a few of us taking action, there will be no problem!" the short mule said proudly.
Xiang Eiqiang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Did Li Xiaolong get burned?"
"No, he kicked the gasoline bottle I threw at him away." The short mule said with some regret.
Xiang Eiqiang also showed a dissatisfied look, but he still waved his hands and said: "Okay, you guys can drive back and come back tomorrow to see the situation!"
After finishing speaking, Xiang Yuqiang drove away by himself, and the short mules also got into the van next to him and left after Xiang Yuqiang left.
...
Chu Huan was having dinner at Cao's house when she received a call from Hong Jinbao.
"Uncle, aunt, something happened at the company, I'm leaving first!"
Chu Huan didn't know what happened, but he heard that Hong Jinbao was a little anxious on the phone, so he decided to go and see what was going on!
Cao Wenjin and Zhou Meiqi didn't say anything. Now everyone no longer needs the unnecessary politeness.
Cao Yunshang originally wanted to go there with Chu Huan, but Chu Huan refused.
Chu Huan took a car to Hong Jinbao's residence. When Chu Huan arrived, he saw Hong Jinbao and Yuan Hua waiting for him downstairs.
"What happened?"
After Chu Huan got out of the car, he asked directly.
Hong Jinbao glanced at Yuan Hua beside him and said, "You should tell Mr. Huan!"
Yuan Hua hurriedly told Chu Huan what happened on the set of "Enter the Dragon" tonight, and then spoke with some worry.
"Originally, Brother Long didn't want us to tell you, Master Huan, but the current situation is indeed quite troublesome. You know Brother Long's temper, Master Huan. He prefers softness to hardness. If the other party is like this now, Brother Long is even less likely to give it to you."
They paid for the protection, but today they dared to throw gasoline bottles at the set, and tomorrow they dared to bring people to smash the set, so I went behind Brother Long's back to find you, Mr. Huan!"
What is supposed to come will always come.
Although Chu Huan is still not sure whether Li Xiaolong's death has anything to do with this jealousy, the triangular relationship between the three people is completely established.
Xiang Eiqiang is young and energetic, and with the top clubs in Xiangjiang like Xin'an behind him, he is naturally bold.
Later, Chu Huan also saw an interview with this person. At that time, the couple also swore that their success was entirely due to the hard work of the couple and did not rely on the help of the family at all. But this kind of words is just what they heard.
Listen, whoever believes it is a fool!
First of all, the biggest credit for the success of Yong Sheng belongs to Xiang Meisheng, not Xiang Meiqiang and his wife. Later, the two brothers separated and Xiang Meiqiang reorganized Yong Sheng into Hua Guoxing, and no more classic movies were made.
Xiang Eiqiang simply does not have the ability of his younger brother.
Secondly, in the 1980s and 1990s, when Hong Kong's social groups invaded the entertainment industry, which was the craziest era, Yongsheng was able to recruit a group of actors with the most box office appeal at the time to film for them without being harassed. Do you think this is a film company with no foundation?
Can the company do it?
Finally, in the Xiang family banquet passed down from later generations, although Xiang Mingqiang was not qualified to sit in the C seat, he still sat in the seat closest to the four-eyed dragon.
"Where is Brother Long now?" Chu Huan asked aloud.
Yuan Hua hurriedly said: "I just came out of the hospital, and now, now I'm at Miss Ding's home!"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Take me there first!"
...
Ding Pei’s home!
At this time, Li Xiaolong was sitting on the sofa in the living room, breathing heavily, obviously still angry about what happened tonight.
Seeing this, Ding Pei quickly took out a bottle of medicine from his bag, poured out one pill, and handed it to Li Xiaolong.
"Brother Long, this is the medicine prepared by Doctor Qi for you. Take it first!"
Dr. Qi is the doctor assigned by Chu Huan to Li Xiaolong around the clock. Now every other week, Dr. Qi will give Li Xiaolong a full-body examination. Li Xiaolong is suffering so much, but he still doesn't take it.
His money is not under his control.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'm fine!"
Li Xiaolong didn't want to take medicine.
Ding Pei whispered: "Brother Long, just eat it, otherwise Dr. Qi will have to criticize you again tomorrow. If you can't tell, he will have to call Mr. Huan. Then Mr. Huan will have to call you again."
I made fun of you!"
Li Xiaolong's temperament was naturally not so obedient, so one time when Li Xiaolong was really annoyed by Dr. Qi and refused to take medicine, Dr. Qi had no choice but to call Chu Huan.
Then Chu Huan came to Li Xiaolong's crew and loudly announced in front of everyone that Li Xiaolong was a coward and didn't even dare to take medicine.
Nothing harmful, but very insulting!
Li Xiaolong became angry and chased Chu Huan for several streets, but in the end, he had no choice but to take the medicine.
Hearing Chu Huan's name, Li Xiaolong showed a helpless expression, took the pill from Ding Pei's hand, raised his head and swallowed it in one gulp.
Ding Pei then smiled, but thinking of today's events, Ding Pei was a little worried and said: "Brother Long, I think it's better to tell Mr. Huan what happened today. In the past, your movies did not have Mr. Huan's investment.
, so you don’t want to trouble Huan Shao, but now this “Enter the Dragon” also has Huan Shao’s investment.
And according to Mr. Huan’s current influence in Xiangjiang, even the Xin’an Society will definitely not dare to say anything!”
After hearing this, Li Xiaolong shook his head and said: "A Huan is so busy right now. Didn't you see it in the newspaper? The companies under his name are all busy with a lot of things. Although A Huan is very capable, after all,
It’s a company worth hundreds of millions, and there must be a lot of things going on in it, so it’s better not to bother him.”
At this point, Li Xiaolong snorted coldly and said: "If those bastards dare to come again tomorrow, I will lead people to beat them away. I don't believe they can cover the sky in Xiangjiang with one hand!"
The worried look on Ding Pei's face became more and more intense.
Just when he was about to continue persuading, the doorbell rang.
Ding Pei looked at the time and saw that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. He suddenly said with some dissatisfaction: "Who is it, so late?"
Although he said this, Ding Pei still got up and came to the door.
"Who?"
"Chu Huan!"
Hearing Chu Huan's name, Ding Pei immediately opened the door, and sure enough, it was Chu Huan standing there.
"Ah Huan, why did you come here so late?"
When he just heard Chu Huan's name, Li Xiaolong also stood up.
"I heard that you showed great power today and kicked away a gasoline bottle. You came here specifically to see the hero!"
Chu Huan joked with a smile.
"Brother Long!" Yuan Hua followed Chu Huan and whispered to Li Xiaolong.
When Li Xiaolong saw Yuan Hua, he knew that he had told Chu Huan what happened to the crew today, and smiled and said to Chu Huan.
"It's not a big deal, you don't have to worry!"
"Things that delay making money are a big deal!" Chu Huan said dissatisfied: "The crew stopped working because of this matter, which means an increase in investment. Then the money I will earn will naturally be less. How can I say
It’s okay!”
Li Xiaolong had long been accustomed to Chu Huan's way of speaking, so he smiled and didn't care.
Ding Pei quickly invited Chu Huan to the living room.
After several people sat down on the sofa, Ding Pei took the lead and said apologetically: "Young Master Huan, this matter is all because of me..."
"A Huan, regardless of A Pei's business, this matter is my own decision." Li Xiaolong directly interrupted Ding Pei's words and took all the responsibility on himself.
Chu Huan waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "At this time, you two don't have to show off your affection here. Yuan Hua has already told me what happened. I came here this time to tell you, and you can do the rest.
Don’t worry about it, just concentrate on filming, and I will take care of the rest!”
Ding Pei said worriedly: "But Xiang Qiangqiang is very selfish and won't listen to anyone!"
Chu Huan looked at Ding Pei and felt that this woman was actually quite interesting. She and Li Xiaolong had a real relationship, but in another time and space, after Li Xiaolong passed away, he filmed a consumer film in Shaw Brothers.
Li Xiaolong's movie "Li Xiaolong and Me".
Later, he married Xiang Eiqiang, but their marriage only lasted four years. Then Xiang Eiqiang fell in love with the next wife, Mrs. Xiang, and they divorced.
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "That's because you didn't make him afraid. Naturally, he doesn't have to listen to you. As long as he finds someone who makes him afraid, he won't be so self-conscious!"
"Ah Huan, what are you going to do?"
Now that Chu Huan already knew about this matter, Li Xiaolong naturally stopped pretending to tell Chu Huan not to worry about it anymore.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "It just so happens that Xiang Qiangqiang's brother still owes me a favor. As long as the four-eyed dragon comes forward in this matter, there should be no problem!"
No one except the two of them and Xiang Weibo knew what happened between Chu Huan and Si-Eyed Dragon.
When Ding Pei heard that the Four-Eyed Dragon actually owed Chu Huan a favor, he immediately smiled and said: "It would be great if this were the case. If the Four-Eyed Dragon comes forward, Xiang Eiqiang will definitely not dare to take any action!"
Chu Huan said to Ding Pei: "Use your home phone!"
Naturally, Ding Pei had no objection. Chu Huan picked up the phone and dialed Four-Eyed Dragon!
