229, suppress the black and white

The old house of the Xiang family!

The drunk Xiang Weiqiang pushed open the door and walked in. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the moment he entered the door, Xiang Weiqiang's drunken state was gone, and he was replaced with a cautious expression.

Seeing that the lights in the living room were not turned on, Xiang Yuqiang breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to return to his room.

There is one thing that Xiang Mingqiang was right about in later generations, that is, during this period, his status in the Xiang family was not very high. Even if other people’s mothers were married by Xiang Xiangming, only Xiang

Qiang Qiang’s mother is filling in a house!

Therefore, Xiang Meiqiang's status in the Xiang family was not high at this time.

Just when he was about to go upstairs, the light in the living room suddenly turned on.

Xiang Weiqiang, who was not used to it, covered the light with his hand, and then saw his eldest brother, Four-Eyed Dragon, sitting on the Grand Master's chair. Sitting next to the Four-Eyed Dragon were his third brother, Xiang Weiguang, and his fourth brother, Xiang Weibo!

Seeing such a formation, Xiang Yuqiang's expression suddenly changed and he walked over.

"Big brother, third brother, fourth brother!"

Xiang Mingqiang, who was enjoying great glory outside, could only stand here at this time.

"If you want to film, then film well, didn't I tell you? Try not to interfere in the company's affairs!"

The four-eyed dragon sat there and preached with a calm expression.

But the more such an attitude, the more worried Xiang Mingqiang is. His eldest brother has always been like this. If it is really a scolding for you, Xiang Mingqiang will not be so worried.

But what scares me the most is that people don’t even know what they have done wrong.

As for the filming mentioned by Four-Eyed Dragon, it is because Xiang Weiqiang has signed a contract with Shaw Brothers at this time and became an actor in Shaw Brothers. He was at the top of his career and was starring in it!

Now Xiang Mingqiang has just finished filming his first movie in his life, "Dragon Tiger, Local Snake".

"Brother, I was wrong!"

Although I don’t understand where I went wrong, it is necessary to admit my mistakes first.

The four-eyed dragon asked calmly: "What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't come back so late!" Xiang Qiang asked tentatively.

It's a bit funny to say that although the Xiang family is a corporate family, the family rules are actually very strict. If a family member has nothing serious to do, they must go home on time. This is why Xiang Eiqiang later moved out.

"Haha!" The four-eyed dragon laughed indifferently, and then said: "Come out with me!"

Xiang Eiqiang didn't dare to ask why, he just followed the four-eyed dragon with a low eyebrow. The four brothers got in the car together and left the Xiang family's old house.

The car drove smoothly all the way. Xiang Qiangqiang wanted to ask what happened, but seeing his elder brother's expression, he still didn't dare to say a word.

Just like that, the car arrived at a food stall.

Xiang Mingqiang, who followed the Four-Eyed Dragon out of the car, saw that there were only six people sitting here in this food stall. One person was sitting at a table alone, and the other five people were at the table next to him. His eyes were always on that person.

What surprised Xiang Qiang was that at this moment, the stern elder brother suddenly had a bright smile on his face.

"Master Huan, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"

The person sitting at the food stall was naturally Chu Huan. He called Si-Eyed Dragon at Ding Pei's home, and the two parties agreed to meet here.

Chu Huan said with a smile on his face: "You're welcome, I just arrived!"

At this time, Xiang Meiqiang also knew Chu Huan's identity, and he immediately understood why he was brought here by his elder brother.

Being already in the film industry, Xiang Mingqiang naturally knew that the movie "Enter the Dragon" had black and white film investment.

Then you can think of the reason why my eldest brother brought me here today. It was for tonight's work on the set of "Enter the Dragon".

Thinking of this, Xiang Mingqiang was not only worried but also a little confused.

Although what he did broke the rules of the world, it was natural for the crew to start work and pay protection fees to the society. He didn't know why his elder brother was so polite to Chu Huan.

Even if Chu Huan is now a celebrity in Xiangjiang, the Xiang family is not so polite.

However, at this time, even if Xiang Meiqiang had questions in his mind, he did not dare to ask them.

As Si-Eyed Dragon and others sat down, Chu Huan waved, and Lin Feng handed Chu Huan an envelope.

Chu Huan didn't see it either, so he handed it to the Four-Eyed Dragon directly and said with a smile: "The rules of the world are: you must give what you should give!"

The four-eyed dragon's expression tightened slightly, and then he said with a smile: "Young Master Huan is too polite. I haven't thanked you properly for your reminder until now. How can I accept Young Master Huan's money?"

If you accept it, you have to follow what Chu Huan said, everything is the rules of the world!

At this time, Chu Huan was no longer the Chu Huan before. He was a super rich man with a net worth of one billion, and his contacts were all top people in Xiangjiang. Xiang Meiqiang believed that his Xiang family was no worse than Chu Huan. This was Xiang Meiqiang's own understanding.

But the Four-Eyed Dragon understood that Chu Huan and himself were no longer in the same dimension at this time. Unless the two sides really broke up and fought without any scruples, the Xiang family would not be Chu Huan's opponent.

Even if there is a real fight, for the Xiang family, it will definitely result in killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to oneself.

What's more, what happened now, in the eyes of the four-eyed dragon, was really a trivial matter.

"One code equals one code. Since other film companies in Xiangjiang give it to us, we will also give it black and white images." Chu Huan pushed the envelope forward and pushed it directly in front of the four-eyed dragon.

The Four-Eyed Dragon doesn't want to fall out with Chu Huan, and Chu Huan also doesn't want to fall out with the Four-Eyed Dragon, at least for now.

Although in terms of top-level combat power, Chu Huan has Lin Feng and five people around him, in terms of number, there are still too few people available on his side. If he really falls out with the Xiang family, it will be very troublesome unless he spends money on it.

I hate trouble.

This is actually the reason why Chu Huan asked Lin Feng and others to find more people to come to Xiangjiang. If Chu Huan can gather hundreds or thousands of people like Lin Feng, then at that time, the entire Xiangjiang society, Chu Huan will no longer

Don't worry about it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing Chu Huan's actions, the Four-Eyed Dragon knew that there was no way to make things better today, so he could only hand the envelope to his brother with a smile on his face.

.

Then his expression changed, "Old Shi!"

Xiang Weiqiang trembled and stood up quickly!

"I promised Young Master Huan before, and I owe Young Master Huan a favor. Today it is my younger brother who is ignorant and broke the rules of the road. However, my younger brother has grown up by my side. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Young Master Huan wants to

Just tell me what you want to do, we brothers will never say anything!"

Xiang Eiqiang looked at the Four-Eyed Dragon with excitement. From the moment Chu Huan gave the money to the Four-Eyed Dragon, Xiang Eiqiang knew that the center of this matter tonight was himself.

According to the rules of the martial arts world, wherever the crew is filming, the protection fee must be paid to the association in that territory.

Xiang Eiqiang led people from the club across the border to collect protection fees from the crew of "Enter the Dragon." This is breaking the rules of the world. What's more, Xiang Eiqiang also had people throw gasoline bottles at the crew today.

I originally thought that I would definitely have to receive some lessons today, but I didn't expect that my elder brother would take all the responsibility for me.

This is the first time Xiang Eiqiang has personally felt the love his eldest brother has for his brother.

Chu Huan chuckled and said: "Mr. Xiang is serious. I am not from your arena, and there is no need to talk about the rules of your arena. The most important thing I want to say to Mr. Xiang when I invite Mr. Xiang here today is

Hey, Li Xiaolong is my friend, a very good friend. I don’t want this friend of mine to get hurt for some unnecessary reasons. Otherwise, I will definitely use all my connections to make the other person feel uncomfortable.

of!"

When he finished speaking, the smile on Chu Huan's face disappeared and his expression became serious.

Xiang Yiqiang's expression suddenly changed. He understood that this was Chu Huan's warning to him. The root cause of everything that happened today was actually the triangular relationship between himself, Li Xiaolong and Ding Pei.

When Chu Huan said this now, he naturally wanted to give up on himself.

The young and energetic Xiang Weiqiang suddenly wanted to speak, but was slapped hard by his third brother Xiang Weiguang.

For a moment, Xiang Qiangqiang didn't dare to say anything.

The four-eyed dragon laughed and said: "I understand what Mr. Huan means. It happened that my father called me some time ago and said that I was a little lonely in Taiwan and missed us children. There are others in Xiangjiang.

It is Lao Shi who has his own affairs to do, and I will ask him to go to Taiwan to serve my father tomorrow!"

Chu Huan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Xiang first!"

The four-eyed dragon also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Young Master Huan is too polite. You and I are friends. It's only polite to say this to friends!"

"Yes, it's true that these things are said out of hand among friends!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

Both parties drank it all in one gulp, and then the Four-Eyed Dragon stood up to say goodbye, and Chu Huan also stood up to see them off.

Watching the car leaving the Four-Eyed Dragon, Chu Huan thought silently, Li Xiaolong was accompanied by Dr. Qi, and now that Xiang Mingqiang's problem has been solved, Li Xiaolong should be fine, right?

Return to the Xiang family's old house.

Xiang Eiqiang finally couldn't help but said to the Four-Eyed Dragon: "Brother, why are you so polite to that Chu Huan? It's true that he is rich, but we are not afraid of him!"

The four-eyed dragon's eyes became sharp and he said coldly: "Kneel down!"

When Xiang Eiqiang saw this, he didn't dare to say anything and knelt down directly.

"You also know that Chu Huan is rich, don't you know that being rich in Xiangjiang means having everything? Why do we join the club? Do you think it is really to let you go out and commit vandalism and robbery in the name of the club?

?We join the club just to make money, do you understand?"

"You even said stupid things like Chu Huan is rich. Who is Chu Huan? If you dare to be cruel, he is someone who can even send his own uncle to Stanley. If you touch Chu Huan's people, Chu Huan

You don’t even need to use his connections, just use the secret money of 500,000 in the arena, and then someone in the entire Xiangjiang society will want to kill you!"

The four-eyed dragon scolded sternly.

Xiang Mingqiang, who had grown up under the majesty of the four-eyed dragon since he was a child, dared not say anything at this time.

The four-eyed dragon continued: "Tomorrow you will go to Taiwan and stay with daddy. You are not allowed to come back without my phone call!"

Xiang Mingguang advised from the side: "Old Shi, you don't have to worry. After a while, Li Xiaolong goes to Hollywood, and you can come back. It's just a woman by your side. I'm doing this for your sake."

"But I still have a contract with Shaw Brothers?" Xiang Mingqiang made his final struggle.

The four-eyed dragon sneered: "Who do you think you are? If I didn't provide money from behind, why would Shaw Brothers let you, a newcomer, be the leading actor? Do you really think you are good-looking?"

At this time, Xiang Eiqiang knew that his trip to Taiwan was irreversible.

"Remember this clearly, from now on you are not allowed to provoke that Ding Pei, let alone Li Xiaolong, otherwise, see how I deal with you!"

After saying that, the four-eyed dragon went directly upstairs to his room.

Xiang Mingguang and Xiang Mingbo helped Xiang Mingqiang up, patted Xiang Mingqiang on the shoulder, and went back to his room.

...

The next day!

The cast and crew of "Enter the Dragon" came to the set again.

It was obvious that what happened yesterday still left everyone with lingering fears, and they also acted a little absent-minded at this time.

Ding Pei followed Li Xiaolong to the set as usual and asked Li Xiaolong worriedly.

"Brother Long, do you think anything will happen today?"

Li Xiaolong waved his hand and said confidently: "Since Ah Huan has already said that he will settle the matter, I believe everything will be fine!"

After talking to Ding Pei, Li Xiaolong immediately started to greet everyone to prepare for filming.

While everyone was making preparations in an orderly manner, Chu Huan came over to visit the class with some snacks.

Seeing Chu Huan coming, Li Xiaolong immediately walked over with a smile on his face and asked: "How is the matter?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is nothing left. It's just that it was too late at the end last night, so I didn't call you!?"

Li Xiaolong suddenly asked curiously: "How did you solve it? Is it too troublesome?"

Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I will take action personally. If there is any trouble, Xiang Mingqiang should have been on the plane to Taiwan by now!"

Ding Pei on the side suddenly showed a surprised expression when he heard what Chu Huan said.

Although Chu Huan was very sure yesterday, Ding Pei was still a little worried. As it turned out, just as Chu Huan said, the matter was perfectly resolved, and Xiang Mingqiang actually went to Taiwan.

Li Xiaolong was also happy, but he still whispered to Chu Huan: "By the way, A Huan, Mr. Zou will be here soon!"

Zou Wenhuai obviously also knew what happened yesterday.

Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "Just come over here. I just have something I want to discuss with Mr. Zou!"

Li Xiaolong asked curiously: "What do you have to discuss with him?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it anymore, just go and film your own drama seriously!"

Li Xiaolong scratched his head and couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and immediately called everyone to get ready to start filming.

Now that the crew's troubles are gone, Li Xiaolong is going to increase his workload and make up for all the lost time!

Chu Huan sat under the umbrella and watched Li Xiaolong filming there. Unfortunately, he was filming "Enter the Dragon" and not "Game of Death". Otherwise, he might still be able to see Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!

Chu Huan, who once participated in the school team, is naturally very familiar with the NBA. He also knows that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is actually Li Xiaolong's apprentice and also participated in "Game of Death"!

Not long after the machine was turned on, Zou Wenhuai arrived at the scene.

Now the only card in Jiahe's hand is Li Xiaolong, so Li Xiaolong can't have any problems, so after knowing what happened yesterday, Zou Wenhuai decided to come over today to solve all Li Xiaolong's problems.

trouble!

But when he came to the scene and saw Chu Huan here, he immediately couldn't help but started to feel pain in his teeth.

It seems that all the troubles in Jiahe began to happen after the black and white images came out.

Although he was filled with dissatisfaction in his heart, Zou Wenhuai still had to walk towards Chu Huan with a smile on his face.

"I've told Aaron before, how could such a trivial matter disturb you, Mr. Huan!"

Now Zou Wenhuai has no advantage in front of Chu Huan. Outsiders say that Black and White Image is about to surpass Jiahe and become the second largest company in Xiangjiang.

But Zou Wenhuai understood that at this time, the black and white images had actually surpassed Jiahe!

Now Jiahe's only advantage over black and white images is their out-of-town distribution channels.

They even participated in and invested in Li Xiaolong's movies. What else do they have to say?

In terms of content production, if Li Xiaolong is offset, Jiahe is actually being rubbed on the ground by black and white images.

And all this took Chu Huan less than a year!

This guy is so terrifying!

Although Jiahe had been thinking about digging into the black and white image, Chu Huan was still smiling at Zou Wenhuai, because Chu Huan's real purpose of coming here today was actually Zou Wenhuai!

"Mr. Zou is so polite. We also invested in the black and white image of the movie "Enter the Dragon". If something goes wrong during the filming, our black and white image will also suffer losses!"

Zou Wenhuai felt the toothache hurt again, but he still smiled and said: "So, with Young Master Huan stepping forward, the problem has been solved?"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "Thank you for living up to your fate!"

After some pleasantries, the two sat down and continued talking.

Li Xiaolong, who was directing the actors' movements in the distance, took the time to glance at Chu Huan and Zou Wenhuai. He was very happy to see Chu Huan and Zou Wenhuai talking and laughing.

Zou Wenhuai was kind to Li Xiaolong, and Chu Huan was Li Xiaolong's good friend. Although the two sides were competitive in business, Li Xiaolong still hoped that the two of them could get along well.

But in fact, Li Xiaolong's expectations must have been disappointed.

Because at this time, if Zou Wenhuai hadn't been well behaved, he might have gone into a rage.

"It's impossible. Our company's studio has company movies being shot every day, so we don't have time to shoot black-and-white movies!"

Just now, Chu Huan proposed renting the Jiahe studio, and as expected, Zou Wenhuai refused.

Chu Huan was not surprised by Zou Wenhuai's refusal. Now Jiahe was already rubbed on the ground by black and white images and Shaw Brothers. If he lent his studio to black and white images again, wouldn't he be digging his own holes and jumping into them?

?

"Mr. Zou, please don't refuse. I just said that I have two things to ask Mr. Zou, so I just said the first thing!"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head like a rattle and said, "Whether it's one thing or two things, I won't agree to it!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Would you like to listen first? I think Mr. Zou might agree after a while!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at Chu Huan suspiciously, thought for a moment and said, "You go ahead and say it!"

"The second thing is actually simpler. I want to sign an overseas distribution contract with Jiahe, especially Jiahe's channels in Japan!"

Shaw Brothers' overseas distribution channels are strong in Southeast Asia, and Jiahe's overseas distribution channels are strong in Japan!

Zou Wenhuai laughed angrily: "Chu Huan, you are probably not dreaming. I don't need to explain the relationship between our two companies. You all know it. Now you not only want to rent our company's studio, but also want us to

Does the company distribute your company’s movies?”

At this point, Zou Wenhuai joked again: "What? There is a problem with your cooperation with Shaw Brothers?"

Previously, Chu Huan's black and white films had been shot at the Clear Water Bay studio rented from Shaw Brothers. At the same time, Shaw Brothers was also responsible for the overseas distribution channels of black and white films.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now Chu Huan suddenly turned around to seek cooperation with Jiahe, which had to make Zou Wenhuai think more.

Chu Huan chuckled and said: "The cooperation between our company and Shaw Brothers is very harmonious, and nothing happened. However, some things always need to be prepared with both hands. It would be better if we could also form a cooperative relationship with Jiahe."

."

"Okay, you're done dreaming, I won't accompany you anymore, farewell!"

Zou Wenhuai stood up to leave. He was not ready to talk to Chu Huan anymore!

Chu Huan did not get up, but just smiled and said: "I heard that Jiahe has a big production to be released next month? I wonder if Jiahe's movie will be successful compared with Li Hanxiang's movie...

.By the way, what if we were sniped by Sam Hung’s movie at the same time?”

Zou Wenhuai, who was getting up to leave, stopped abruptly, turned around, and looked at Chu Huan with a sinking face.

"What do you mean?"

Chu Huan spread his hands and said with a smile: "It doesn't mean anything, but Mr. Zou, you Jiahe have made so many moves in the past few months and frequently extended olive branches to our company's employees. Do you really think that I don't know anything?"

You can’t do it, right?”

Chu Huan has always remembered Jiahe's behavior. The reason why he had not taken any action before was because Chu Huan's mind was not on it at all. Now that the matter with Jiahu Textile is over, he can be considered smooth.

The matter between Jiahu Textile and Huhua Real Estate has been resolved.

Naturally, I have to go back and settle the score with Jiahe.

Seeing that Zou Wenhuai didn't speak, Chu Huan continued: "I am a very simple person. If others treat me well, I will naturally treat them well, but if someone wants to plot against me, I will definitely return the favor.

As the saying goes, calculations may be late, but they will never be absent!”

God's calculations may be late, but they will never be absent; justice may be late, but they will never be absent!

After Zou Wenhuai slandered, he said coldly: "This is a lose-lose approach!"

Chu Huan looked indifferent: "Didn't Mr. Zou watch the previous "True Report"? Now my net worth is close to one billion. Does the loss of a few movies still matter to me?"

At this point, Chu Huan's expression suddenly turned cold: "But Mr. Zou is different. Although Jiahe was founded by you, Jiahe is not the one who has the final say, Mr. Zou. If Jiahe movies have several consecutive

Come on, Mr. Zou, do you think the capital behind you will still invest in you?"

In mid-May, the weather in Xiangjiang has begun to get hotter, but at this time Zou Wenhuai felt as if he was in an ice cave and it was as cold as a bone!

This is Jiahe’s biggest weakness!

Although Golden Harvest's fundamentals are stable, Golden Harvest's funds are not stable, because investment in many of their films requires external investment. This also leads to why in later generations it seems that Golden Harvest has been beating Shaw Brothers, but there is no Shaw Brothers.

Even more influential.

Zou Wenhuai's influence has never been able to break through the film circle.

"Chu Huan, don't forget, we still have Li Xiaolong!"

Zou Wenhuai preached stubbornly.

Chu Huan still looked indifferent and said: "It is true that Jiahe does have Li Xiaolong, but one Li Xiaolong cannot support one Jiahe. The most important thing is that Li Xiaolong's future development focus will definitely be the European and American markets, whether you want it or not

Admit it, his market in Xiangjiang will definitely be affected."

In fact, Chu Huan didn’t lie at all. It’s just like the movie “Enter the Dragon” that Li Xiaolong is currently filming. Although this movie has received nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in box office worldwide, it only received 3.3 million in box office in Hong Kong. Compared with Li Xiaolong

There is no way the previous movies can compare to the same.

Zou Wenhuai is a sensible person, so he knows what Chu Huan said is correct.

"The most important thing is that in the future filming of Li Xiaolong's movies in Hollywood, our black and white images will also be included."

At this point, Chu Huan showed a victorious smile: "Then I want to ask, Mr. Zou, what can you do with my black and white image?"

Threat, this is already a threat from Chi Guoguo.

Zou Wenhuai has never felt so helpless as now. Jiahe, who is so powerful in the eyes of outsiders, is unable to face the threat of black and white images at this time.

"What do you want?" Zou Wenhuai didn't realize that he was already talking to Chu Huan in a helpless and helpless tone.

Chu Huan said easily: "It's very simple, just the two things I just said!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly. He naturally could not believe that Chu Huan would be satisfied so easily.

"If I promise you, within five years, Jiahe will be yours, right?"

Chu Huan did not deny Zou Wenhuai's inference and said with a smile: "At least in this case, Jiahe still has five years to figure out how to get out of the current predicament.

But if you don’t agree, Mr. Zou, Jiahe may become a piece of history in the Hong Kong film industry in less than two years!”

Having said that, Zou Wenhuai knew that he no longer had the right to choose.

As if he had exhausted all his strength, he said to Chu Huan: "Let someone from your company sign the contract tomorrow!"

Chu Huan smiled brightly like a flower: "Thank you Mr. Zou!"
