The villa is purely European-style, and Zhou Fangyuan's familiarity with this place is still above that of his uncle's family.

He is not a stingy person, and if he is good to himself, he will give back to each other as much as possible.

Accompanied by Uncle Long to the living room, Uncle Long's agent instructed the assistants to move suitcases inside, Uncle Long's coffee position, even if he didn't care about his image, the agent would prepare a lot of spare clothes for him. And Uncle Long has more than one agent, there are big agents who control the overall situation, and there are small agents who can only be responsible for the following clothes or food. And to put it very realistically, Uncle Long alone, his own needs, family affection can raise a team of twenty people. This is not an exaggeration, but at his current status, there are too many things he needs to care about.

Externally, personal image, social image, crisis public relations, these all need manpower. Internally, daily life, nutrition, fitness and maintenance, these also need to be helped. It's not that Uncle Long is a giant baby and can't leave his agent and assistant, but he is too busy, in other words, if he doesn't refuse every notice that finds him, and all of them should be given, I'm afraid he can only have about two to three hours left of his sleep every day.

This is notoriously sad. People who are not famous try their best to be famous, to become a big star, and to be the one who is in the limelight. But once you really become famous, the pressure from all sides can make people breathless. When the time comes, I will miss the good time when I didn't become famous, at least I can eat whatever I want from a roadside stall, which is like after becoming famous, no matter how tightly wrapped I walk on the street, I will still be recognized.

"Finally I can take a break......

Uncle Long sat down on the sofa and stretched a big stretch.

After all, he is no longer young, not in his twenties, and if he wants to maintain his image in public, he has to endure everything, but in private, Uncle Long is still a relatively open person. He and Zhou Fangyuan have only met for a long time, and they are quite familiar with it, and they will say anything, and they will not deliberately take care of it.

"Have a drink. ”

Zhou Fangyuan walked out from behind the bar, holding two glasses of red wine in his hands.

"Homemade, not famous, but the taste is good, try it. ”

Zhou Fangyuan raised his glass.

The estate he wants to buy has not yet been purchased, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any other wine industry. Distant agriculture is now so big that it is like casually making a small red wine estate to play, but the output is very small, and it can only be provided for domestic use, and it is completely impossible to sell it to the outside world.

But that's fine, Zhou Fangyuan is not short of this money, and if it is sold to the outside world, there are too many things to deal with, and he is too lazy to worry about it.

Not only red wine, but also cigars.

"I bought a cigar estate in Cuba last year and tried it to see how different cigars were on the market. ”

Zhou Fangyuan specially cut a cigar for Uncle Long, and then handed it over.

Uncle Long obediently took the cigar, roasted it, lit it, smoked a cigarette, and took a sip of wine......

"You are still comfortable, you don't have to care about the eyes of the outside world, and you won't have the eyes of the outside world to disturb you, life is so comfortable, it is really enviable. ”

Uncle Long said with some emotion.

He is not short of money, what he lacks now is idleness. The higher the status, the busier the work, and many things he can't even push off. It's like talking about the announcement of a new film, can he leave as the leading actor? Can he leave his charity work alone? Can he quit his job as a member of the CPPCC? No, he can't refuse any of them, and all kinds of daily work have resulted in the current situation -- according to Uncle Long himself, he has not had a good rest for almost a quarter.

"Isn't it fulfilling to be busy?"

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"It's fulfilling, it's just too fulfilling, to be honest, if I knew that I would become like this after becoming famous, maybe I wouldn't be an actor. ”

Uncle Long said casually.

It's really just a casual remark, if you can really choose from scratch, it is estimated that Uncle Long will still follow the old path. Quite simply, this is what his life is destined to be.

Uncle Long was born on Hong Kong Island and moved to Australia with his parents at an early age. But because he used to fight and make trouble when he was a child, he dropped out of school after the first grade of elementary school and stayed at home.

In 1961, after returning to Hong Kong with his family, Uncle Long finally became his master with Zhan Yuan, and in the same year he entered the Huaxia Drama Academy founded by Zhan Yuan to learn stage makeup and stage performance skills. There was no way, Uncle Long was not young at that time, and he couldn't continue to study cultural classes. Let him do odd jobs? He won't make any money. Seeing that he is about to grow into a young man, he has to find something serious to do. It just so happened that he himself also liked fist and foot kung fu, so he simply joined the Huaxia Drama Academy, and during his studies, Uncle Long's stage name was Yuanlou. During a Peking Opera performance, his performances with Yuan Long, Yuan Tai, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao and others gained attention, so the seven formed the "Seven Little Blessings".

This is the starting point of his life, the first and most important step to change the trajectory of his life.

At that time, their eldest brother, Yuan Long, that is, the old man Hong Jinbao, was already a well-known actor, and he was also able to speak in the martial arts industry. With this group of brothers, they began to mix in various sets, and the younger brothers and sisters had the opportunity to play a role or something, Uncle Long was young enough and handsome, so there were more opportunities. Gradually, he became famous. It wasn't until 1972, after more than a decade in the martial arts, that he finally joined Dadi Film Company as an individual, and in the same year, he participated in the stunt work of the action film "Jingwumen", and in addition, he also served as a stand-in for Bruce Lee in the action film "Raptors Across the River".

In January 1973, he co-starred in the action movie "Northern Kung Fu" with Yuan Qiu and Wang Qing; in April, he participated in the action movie "Female Policeman" and concurrently served as the martial arts instructor of the film; in the same year, he served as the action director of the action movie "Iron Man Tenderness".

Later, the Luo Wei period and the Jiahe period were all periods of rapid development when Uncle Long was out of control. It was during this period of time that he established his status in Hong Kong Island and even in the Chinese film circle, and his status as a top star and top star became irreplaceable. And in this period, another person can be said to be quite important to Uncle Long.

This person is none other than Luo Wei, the owner of Luo Wei's film company.

Born in 1918 in Soviet Province, he graduated from the Beijing High School and later engaged in anti-Japanese theatrical activities. He moved to Hong Kong Island in 1948.

His talent for making movies may be limited, but his luck is surprisingly good.

Bruce Lee was invited back from the United States by Golden Harvest to film, and he did not receive special attention at first, "Tangshan Big Brother" did not have a high investment, only filmed in Thailand, director Wu Jiaxiang is famous, and he is not good at kung fu martial arts themes, and it is difficult to continue halfway through the filming, so Luo Wei saved the scene halfway, and the box office exceeded 3 million, setting a new box office record on Hong Kong Island, which made him and Bruce Lee raise their eyebrows!

After that, Luo Wei wanted to call himself the mentor who "made Bruce Lee", but Bruce Lee did not appreciate it, and even used a knife to kill him. Facts have also proved that Luo Wei has a discerning eye, and Bruce Lee's self-directed and self-starred "Raptors Across the River" will only be more successful. There is no Bruce Lee Luo Wei, only "Cold Tiger" with veteran Wang Yu is good at the box office, and other films starring newcomers, whether it is Xu Guanjie's screen debut "Little Heroes Havoc in Chinatown", or Jackie Chan starring in "New Jingwumen" and "Shaolin Woodman Lane", the response is average.

In the 70s, when kung fu films were popular, Luo Wei was in the limelight, and if Zhang Che was the chief director of Shaw Brothers, then he was the top name of Golden Harvest. The two later encountered a similar experience: after Li Hanxiang returned to Shaw Brothers, he was borrowed by Fang Yihua to balance Zhang Che, and Director Zhang Da had to go to Taiwan to set up Longbow to fight for the Shaw Brothers. After Bruce Lee's death, Golden Harvest vigorously promoted Xu Guanwen's ghost horse citizen comedy, and the kung fu film also had two directors, Zheng Changhe and Huang Feng, who did not let Luo Wei specialize in beauty. Moreover, because his second wife Liu Lianghua became Zou Wenhuai's confidante after divorcing Luo Wei, these reasons prompted Director Luo Da to finally stand on his own and want to compete with Golden Harvest.

Then, Uncle Long appeared.

Of course, "Luo Wei Film Company" focuses on kung fu films, Luo Wei is conceited that he can make Bruce Lee popular, and of course he can also achieve others, so he signed Chen Yuanlong, who had gone to Australia to prepare to change careers to become a chef, and renamed him "Jackie Chan", that is, Uncle Long himself.

The first drama "New Jingwumen", re-illuminating the signboard of the year, failed!

Filming "Shaolin Woodman Alley" again, playing the most popular Shaolin kung fu theme, and failing again!

Three shots of "Sword Flower Fireworks and Rain Jiangnan", the most popular ancient dragon martial arts, still failed!

Is it because Uncle Long can't do it, or is Luo Wei not able to give full play to his characteristics? History has already told us the answer. It can only be said that Luo Wei knows people with vision, but he has no vision for filming, in his life, in addition to cooperating with Bruce Lee and participating in the creation of "Xiaolong Jingwu Tide", he has always been following the trend, if the box office is mostly good, it is just that he is popular enough. Luo Wei tended to be more conservative in the later stage of his creation, and in 1978, he borrowed Uncle Long to shoot "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist", which were obviously very successful, but he still couldn't judge the new trend of kung fu comedy - when Uncle Long took the company's money to shoot "One and a Half Tricks to Break into the Rivers and Lakes" and played nonsense, Luo Wei was very annoyed and actually hid the film.

It wasn't until around 1980 that Luo Wei used novice Zeng Zhiwei as the director, and after filming two nonsensical kung fu comedies "Kicking the Hall" and "Thief Stolen Goods" after a bumper box office, he dared to take out "One and a Half Tricks to Break into the Rivers and Lakes" to follow the trend, and at this time, Uncle Long had already defected to Golden Harvest.

Luo Wei is to Uncle Long, just like Bian He is to He's Bi, he has an eye and doesn't know how to carve. Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping helped make Uncle Long popular, but unfortunately Luo Wei didn't know how to appease, and still only gave Uncle Long tens of thousands of yuan per play, and his monthly fixed salary was only 3,000 yuan. In the long run, Uncle Long's gratitude to Luo Wei will gradually turn into resentment, which is normal, as any person, when his efforts and gains are completely disproportionate, he will also have resentment. So when He Guanchang asked him to pass the Golden Harvest and took out a deposit check of millions of Hong Kong dollars on the spot, the result was logical.

Luo Wei's anger at Golden Harvest's robbery and Jackie Chan's breach of contract can be imagined, and the poor old man resorted to various tricks of kidnapping and intimidation, but he still failed to prevent the "He's Bi" he had worked so hard to dig up from being handed over to others.

But one thing must be admitted is that when Luo Wei found Uncle Long, it happened to be the most depressed period of Uncle Long's life. Of course, Uncle Long's life is not smooth sailing, and when he becomes famous, everyone will say that he is good, but dare not say that he is bad, for fear of disgusting him and making him unhappy. In fact, when I think about it, wasn't the downfall of the year a valuable asset?

Can you think about Uncle Long who was almost sold by his father back then?

In fact, it was sent to Yu Zhanyuan's opera school, in that thought, apprenticeship, to a large extent, it is equivalent to selling the child to the master, it is really beaten and scolded, and one day he died inexplicably, as long as you can't find the master's stubble, it is basically equivalent to dying in vain. This is still before Uncle Long became famous, and after he became famous, it was also troublesome.

He has said more than once that in the most chaotic years on Hong Kong Island, some people even put a machete directly on his neck and asked him if he would shoot 200,000 yuan.

If it is changed to ordinary people, it is estimated that they will be scared to pee, Uncle Long's words, although he didn't say it, but he is probably scared enough, after all, don't watch the movie He is often this hero and that hero, but in reality, he is an ordinary person, at most, he knows a little boxing, and if he really fights, he may not be better than Wang Baquan. There are also many unpleasant times in his career, and the years before Luo Wei found him were his more unpleasant days, otherwise why would he be going to Australia to be a chef?

In the final analysis, Luo Wei's greatest kindness to Uncle Long may be to keep him on Hong Kong Island.

He gave Uncle Long a second chance, although his later growth and final achievements had nothing to do with Luo Wei. But this provocation was made by Luo Wei, which needs to be admitted. Otherwise, Uncle Long went to Australia with all his brains, and now it is unknown whether there will be one more powerful Chinese chef, but there will definitely be one less Chinese movie star who is famous all over the world. Luo Wei left Uncle Long on Hong Kong Island, even if it was only temporary, but it really ushered in the second spring of Uncle Long's career, and he was out of control, climbing all the way from Ah Long, Brother Long, Uncle Long, Master Long...... It's called anything.

Therefore, Uncle Long is really not easy.

Those who hacked him...... Touching his conscience, Uncle Long has done many wrong things, such as some controversial incidents or something, so I won't repeat them here. Another example is some small problems in personal life style...... Zhou Fangyuan has more right to speak, he knows that a normal man will indeed encounter a lot of temptations after his career is successful. A man who has not done anything wrong can only say that he has not done anything wrong, everyone has a limit to resist, and when they can't resist in the end, people are the same, and there is no one who laughs at whom. As for those who can't even meet temptation...... So what else to say?

Smoking cigars, tasting red wine, and taking the time to glance at Uncle Long, Zhou Fangyuan couldn't help but be surprised.

Uncle Long is also old, and his hair is gray.
