In a single apartment of dozens of square meters on Xiangjiang Broadcasting Road, the script "Rush Hour" in Cheng Long's hand, which he had read several times, was finally posted on the table in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

That's right, at this time, Cheng Long was in the apartment he rented on the broadcast road.

Broadcast Road is located in Kowloon Tong in the northern part of Kowloon City, Hong Kong, and is a noble residential area. In the 1970s, it was home to three television stations and two radio stations in Hong Kong. At that time, there were only five electronic media in Hong Kong, and all of them were concentrated there, and it was also geographically located on a small hill, so the place was called "Wutai Mountain".

At first, the Heung Kong government did not have any policy on the location of broadcasting institutions, and at one point planned to move to a piece of land near the hills in Pokfulam. However, after the events of 1967 in Hong Kong, the Heung Kong government decided that it would be safer and more convenient to centralize all broadcasting institutions in one place, and in 1967, a large piece of land on a small hill opposite the campus of Baptist College at the foot of Lion Rock (originally planned to be developed into a noble residential area and a dormitory for middle and senior civil servants, the more famous dormitories are Lung Cheung Court, No. 83 Broadcasting Road and No. 1 Broadcasting Road) was developed into the center of the broadcasting industry in Hong Kong. The Government has also allocated lots for broadcasters to serve as their headquarters, built the Broadcasting Road into a road with only one exit and set up a military camp on Waterloo Road to prevent riots.

The streets were also renamed: Kwong Wai Road and Anning Road were renamed Broadcast Road on 16 February 1967, while the two slip roads near Broadcast Road, Ko Nga Road and Mei Tak Road, were renamed Marconi Road and Fan Shun Taat Road respectively on 5 January 1968 in honour of the two inventors of radio broadcasting from Italy and Canada respectively.

In 1978, Jiayi TV went out of business, and at this time it was called "Sitai Mountain".

Because of the geographical advantage, the apartments near the broadcast road have always been loved by some stars in the Xiangjiang film circle who have not yet made a lot of money, and even stars like Cheng Long who are not keen on filming TV series and specialize in movies like Cheng Long also like to rent a house here.

In other words, since Cheng Long, who was educated by Zhang Junyi, he has no intention of arguing with Zhang Junyi. After this period of beating, even Cheng Long, whose heart is higher than the sky, has made his position clear, knowing that there is no comparison between himself and Zhang Junyi at all.

Although Cheng Long has become popular with his continuous starring movies, he is comparable to the top stars in the entertainment industry, and has almost become a household name in Xiangjiang. But he is just becoming famous, even if he becomes the top existence in this circle, a movie star to compare with the top few rich people in Xiangjiang? Hehe......

After all, Zhang Junyi's net worth is there, and this is another thing that cannot be ignored.

And now Cheng Long has other ideas as he works hard in society.

Although Cheng Long has always believed that he belongs to the entertainment industry and relies on acting skills to eat, he does not reject the huge fame added by the circle of "entertainment industry". Not only do not exclude but even enjoy such benefits.

In the actor industry, if you know a few gold owners, it is undoubtedly the most reassuring. Whether it is to make a movie in the future, make an announcement, or attract investment, if you know a powerful financier, it can bring a lot of convenience.

Especially Cheng Long looked at the film company established by his eldest brother, although the money earned by himself was far worse than that of these big film companies, but after all, it was his own company, so the money he received was much more than his own hard work and continuous filming for Golden Harvest, so the recent Cheng Long also thought that he would break away from Golden Harvest and set up his own film company.

In this case, not to mention Zhang Junyi's status in Xiangjiang, just for the large number of actors controlled by Zhang Junyi's film company and TV station, plus almost controlling more than half of Xiangjiang's theater resources, Cheng Long will not find his own death and go to Zhang Junyi's neck.

"Hey! Sure enough, I used to think too highly of myself! ”

In fact, it is not easy for a super self-centered person like Cheng Long to admit his failure from the heart, but since he was banned by Zhang Junyi, he has changed from a bright star to no one cares about him, and he is fed up!

After all, as an actor, what is it for, not the so-called fame and wanting his movies to be seen by more people.

So during that period of snow hiding, he was extremely tormented, and it was not until that time that Zhang Junyi's strength was completely recognized by Cheng Long, and he found out how strong the rich young man who he thought was not a big threat to him at the beginning.

And himself, although his reputation is very big among the people of Xiangjiang, but Cheng Long knows very well that the company has cultivated him to make money until now, and now he can create value for the company, so the company has used most of its resources on him.

It is for this reason that Cheng Long is now more and more intense about establishing his own company.

Although he apologized at the time and promised to help Yitian star in three movies for free, Zhang Junyi was no longer banned, but when the script was really placed in front of him, to be honest, Cheng Long still felt a little awkward in his heart.

Although in Cheng Long's opinion, Zhang Junyi's script is still so good, but no matter what, a little depression in his heart is still inevitable.

Although he is uncomfortable in this way, Cheng Long knows that this script is not something he can refuse, not to mention what kind of price he will suffer if he refuses Zhang Junyi's script, is it for this opportunity to enter Hollywood again, to be honest, he Cheng Long does not have the courage to refuse.

To say that although Cheng Long's character is not very good, he is quite self-centered, but he is still quite enthusiastic about acting, and he is very dedicated, otherwise he would not have made such a name for himself in the film circle of Xiangjiang for a few years.

And it has always been Cheng Long's most desirable thing to enter Hollywood, so Cheng Long has always been working hard for the core holy land of the world's film industry, but until now, two years ago, the first opportunity to enter Hollywood, the very confident Cheng Long finally failed.

"Killer Trench" is an action comedy produced by Golden Harvest Film Co., Ltd. Directed and written by Cross, Cheng Long and Jose? Feller, Christine? Starring Debell, Iwamatsu Shin. The film was released in the United States on September 10, 1980.

tells the story of the 30s, Guan Ren struggled to run a restaurant in the United States. His eldest son opened a clinic in the local area, and his second son, Yunlong, was born with martial arts. One day, Yunlong and his girlfriend Xiaolan came back from a trip, and saw the flying knife Ah Peng and his men extorting from his father and being beaten, Yun Long angrily fought back and repelled Ah Peng's gang. Ah Peng's uncle Luo Bao was the local godfather, and when he learned that Yunlong was good at martial arts, he wanted to use Yunlong to participate in the Texas martial arts competition, so he ordered Ah Peng and his gang to set layers of traps on Yunlong, persecuted him a lot, and also captured his brother's fiancée as a hostage. Yunlong was forced into the ring, and after hard work, with his strength, Yunlong knocked his opponents down one by one, but on the day of the final, the opponent turned out to be a fierce killer trench.

"Killer Trench" is the first ambitious film made by Golden Harvest in the 80s to bring Cheng Long to the international market. The film is directed by Hollywood director Robert Brown. Written and directed, Gao Los tells the story of the young son of an old overseas Chinese who runs a small restaurant in the United States, who has a unique skill and skillfully maneuvers with local underworld forces. During the filming, Americans fantasized about Cheng Long as a new generation of kung fu superstars after Li Xiaolong, and Los Angeles, where the film was filmed, even set September 2 every year as "Cheng Long Day", but after the release of "Killer Trench", the word-of-mouth was very mediocre, and the American audience wanted to see Li Xiaolong's brave and strong, fist-to-flesh style, but Cheng Long's style was witty and naughty, and his movements were like juggling, which did not meet the appetite of American audiences. On the other hand, Hong Kong audiences are very dissatisfied with the action design of "Killer Trench"; Cheng Long, who has always served as a martial arts instructor by himself, even came to the trouble of painting a snake once, but added enough things, and finally made the movie into a four-like, and the final result of the movie made in this way was of course to hit the street.

To say that "Killer Trench" is part of Golden Harvest's ambitious plan to expand into the international market. In October 1979, Golden Harvest's boss Zou Daheng announced in Hollywood that Golden Harvest would invest $60 million to shoot 6 big-budget films with international superstars! At that time, the veteran Shaw Brothers Film Company in the Xiangjiang film industry was declining.

Zou Tycoon, who is not amazing, has such a tone and momentum that no one can match it. Golden Harvest has never broken its promise, and its film started filming as planned! In "Killer Trench", Hollywood's big star Jose Farah was hired at any cost? Justine Thubel, directed by Rob Gauros of Hollywood. Xiangjiang noodles are starring Cheng Long and Zhao Jianing.

In other words, in fact, Zhang Junyi is also embarrassed when he thinks about the decline of the veteran overlord Shaw Brothers Film Company.

In fact, for Uncle Liu, no matter what kind of purpose he made charity, Zhang Junyi admired it in his previous life or in this life, and he should not do to others what he did not want, no matter whether Uncle Shao did charity for one purpose or another, but it is true that he spent a lot of Hong Kong dollars on charity, and it is also true that many people have benefited because of Uncle Shao's Hong Kong dollars.

In 1973, Shao Daheng established the Heung Kong Shaw Foundation, which mainly subsidizes hospitals, educational institutions, scholarships and teacher training. In his previous life, since 1985, Uncle Six has spent an average of more than 100 million yuan every year to support social welfare undertakings in the mainland. According to preliminary estimates, Uncle Liu's donations to science, education, culture, and health in the hinterland have reached 3.1 billion yuan, and more than 4,500 projects have been donated, of which more than 80 percent are education projects.

In 1957, Shao Daheng bought a piece of land in Clear Water Bay to build a cinema, and in 1958, he announced the establishment of the Shaw Brothers Film Company.

In Zhang Junyi's view, the heyday of the Shaw Brothers was naturally the period when Zhang Ji and Hu Jinquan created Shaw Brothers kung fu films, but before Zhang Ji and Hu Jinquan came up with "One-Armed Knife" and "The Drunken Man", the Shaw Brothers started in the movie Jianghu but Li Hanxiang's Huangmei movie.

In 1958, the two tycoon brothers had no production experience when they started in Xiangjiang, relying on the advantages of the cinema chain accumulated over the years. Since the 1930s, Shaw Brothers has been involved in film distribution and theatrical business, and by 1956, Shaw Brothers had more than 100 cinemas and 10 large amusement parks in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. The most direct reason for coming to Hong Kong to invest in the production business is that his theater needs more than 520 films every year, and it is far from enough to buy films alone.

In the early days of Shaw Brothers' foothold in Xiangjiang, the biggest opponent was the "Dianmao" hosted by Lu Yuntao. In the mid-50s, there were actually three major forces in the Hong Kong film industry, namely Shaw Brothers, Dianmao (Cathay Pacific), and Great Wall and Phoenix Company.

Lu Yuntao was originally engaged in cinema management in Nanyang, and landed in Xiangjiang two years earlier than the Shaw Brothers. Lu Yuntao studied in Europe and the United States, learned from the Hollywood experience at that time, attached importance to female stars, and tailor-made films for them. At that time, the actress lineup of "Dianmao" included Lin Dai, You Min, Lin Cui, Ge Lan, Ye Feng, Li Mei, Ding Hao, Wang Lai, Su Feng, and the director lineup included Yue Feng, Tao Qin, Tang Huang, Yi Wen, Wang Tianlin, etc.

At that time, the only actress in the hands of Shaw Brothers was the musical flute that was transferred from the Great Wall.

In his memoir "Thirty Years from the Beginning", Li Hanxiang described Shaw's "status" in Xiangjiang at that time: "When I first arrived in Xiangjiang, I really had some difficult taste, and I had to accommodate every effort to invite big stars to dinner, because I tried to invite several big stars to his villa in Clear Water Bay to eat, but the big names did not arrive, and even the second and third cards were not invited. ”

In view of the advantages of "electric mao", Shao Liushu, who opened a playground, had a typical playground thinking, and he proposed that Shaw Brothers must be "big": build a big factory, make blockbusters, and make a lot of money. In 1961, the first phase of the Shaw Brothers studio was completed, covering an area of 650,000 square meters, and the first one used the color widescreen technology that was popular in the United States at that time, called the "Shaw Brothers Variety Show Curved Wide Screen". Fashion films can't be made big, so Uncle Shao Liushu makes costume films. 1959's "Beauty of the Mountains" was manufactured under such a guiding thinking.

"The Beauty of the Mountains" tells the story of Emperor Zhengde and Sister Li Feng, which opened the popular trend of Xiangjiang Huangmei tune. The Huangmei tune was used in response to the popular songs "Peach Blossom River" and "Mambo Girl".

Shao Liushu said that at that time, the moviegoers were mainly women, and they liked to record songs, and the more songs they had, the more popular they became. In his previous life, Zhang Ji also had a recollection in his memoir "Thirty Years of Xiangjiang Films": "Huangmei tune is a natural pronunciation.

Singing with natural pronunciation can make the general public catchy, and learning to sing along is popular. In the 30s, after film technology entered the sound film, movie songs became the easiest way to attract audiences. ”
