Due to Tang Huan's habit of planning and then moving, the film "Fang Shiyu" that he personally supervised took a little longer to prepare, but after the project was officially launched, the various advantages of large-scale industrial manufacturing were reflected, such as the first and second parts were filmed directly together.

The reason why this is so, in addition to being greedy for trouble and saving costs, is also because the Xiangjiang film industry has always been popular for commercial films, Tang Huan didn't want to be dog-tailed mink, so he simply completed it in batches, and the first part finished the Tiandihui, and the second part followed the Heitiandihui, which is also quite matching.

Compared with the original time and space, the changes in actor configuration are not very big, Li Lianjie is the male number one who plays Fang Shiyu who can't be moved, and Fang Shiyu's mother Miao Cuihua is also played by Xiao Fangfang.

Xiao Fangfang, one of the members of the "Seven Princesses of Xiangjiang", joined the TV industry as early as the 1970s, joined TVB, and created the well-known comedy character Lin Yazhen in 1977 with an ugly appearance, which became a smash hit.

This year, Xiao Fangfang also put this artistic image on the big screen and filmed the movie "Colorful Lin Yazhen", which shows the breadth of her acting path, and Miao Cuihua, a very important and brilliant role, she also happily followed.

It is impossible for Tang Huan to leave a large number of artists in DreamWorks unnecessary, and the entire crew is composed of these subordinates.

Lei Tingting, the vase heroine who has roles in the first and second parts, naturally it is impossible to find Li Jiaxin to play it, but it was handed over to Zhong Chuhong, who currently has only three movie acting resumes, and this role has almost no martial arts, for her. It's not that difficult.

The actor of Sun An'er, another vase heroine who did not appear until the second part. It can't be Guo Aiming, who is also from Hong Kong. It is Yu An'an, the master of DreamWorks.

Don't look at Yu Anan is only 23 years old, but his qualifications are extraordinary, and his popularity is not ordinarily fast, as early as after graduating from middle school at the age of 16, he was invited by the famous "Bole" Zong Weigeng in the circle to shoot a Shengli beer advertisement, and later was appreciated by Zhou Liang Shuyi and invited him to join TVB.

It was in the same year that Yu Anan and the Wenna Band participated in the first movie "Everyone's Music". entered the film industry, and has participated in a number of martial arts films adapted from Gu Long's original book and directed by Chu Yuan, which are very popular.

In the 1976 TVB version of "Book of Swords and Enmity", Yu Anan played Princess Xiangxiang and began to become popular quickly, even after switching to Jiayi TV and passing to Li's TV, the momentum is still unabated, and Li's TV is even more popular through a series of TV series such as "Deep in the Clouds" in 1980.

After starring in the role of Princess Zhaoren and Chen Yuanyuan in the DreamWorks boutique TV series "Martial Arts Emperor Flower" last year, Xu Xiaoming filmed the TV series "Chen Zhen" this year. The heroine is also Yu An'an, and her schedule is actually a little tight.

Arguably. Let Yu Anan play Sun An'er, which is far more worry-free than letting Zhong Chuhong play Lei Tingting.

Another impressive character - Lei Laohu, who will be called "convincing people with virtue" when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, Tang Huan still likes the original Chen Songyong. But this person's qualifications are complicated, maybe he will be locked up somewhere, and Tang Huan will rarely go to the treasure island to find it, so that Zeng Zhiwei will be on top.

Lei Laohu's concubine Li Xiaohuan, Tang Huan also wants to find the original Hu Huizhong to act, after all, it is one of his goals to bring together art practitioners from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, and he can go to Baodao to pull the box office more confidently.

But the other party, who had not long completed his college studies, couldn't give up the image of a "jade girl" similar to Lin Qingfang, and he had a schedule on Treasure Island, so he hesitated and didn't decide.

Tang Huan is not waiting for anyone here, and considering that Hu Huizhong at this time has not yet transformed into a beating girl in the original time and space, and Li Xiaohuan's martial arts are quite heavy, Tang Huan used Wen Xueer, another master of DreamWorks.

Like her sister Yuan Qiu, one of the members of the "Seven Little Blessings", Wen Xueer began to learn martial arts at a young age, and joined the film and television industry in the mid-1970s, becoming an artist under the Shaw Brothers Film Company, when she was not yet 16 years old, and was the first choice for Shaw Brothers martial arts films.

In 1975, Wen Xueer joined Jiayi TV and became the leading actress with Mi Xue, and in the Jiashi version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", she played the actor Wei Xiaobao in reverse.

After Jiayi TV announced its collapse in 1978, Wen Xueer and several other artists followed Xiao Sheng to join Li's TV and continued to be reused.

In the 1979 TV series "Huanhua Washing Sword Record" filmed by Li's TV, she and Leslie Cheung played the male and female protagonists respectively, becoming a sensational on-screen couple.

Like Yu An'an, Wen Xueer's role as Li Xiaohuan is also worry-free.

And through Wen Xueer's relationship, Tang Huan brought in Yuan Kui, the queen action director of Li Lianjie in the original time and space, and Yuan Kui, one of the members of the "Seven Little Blessings", and asked him to play the role of Lei Laohu, who corresponds to the first part of "Convincing People with Virtue", and Li Guobang, who is also brilliant in the second part, is Miao Cuihua's senior brother.

For Tang Huan's iconic lines such as "convincing people with morality", "safety first", "look at my mouth shape", and "the most important word for walking the rivers and lakes", the entire screenwriting team did not dare to treat them sloppily, and created a lot of jokes for them, and the more they were used, the more flavorful they became, which not only frequently caused laughter during the filming process, but also spread among the crew and became a mantra.

The martial arts in Xiangjiang have always been divided into gangs, such as the southern faction represented by Liu Jialiang and the northern faction represented by Yu Zhanyuan's son-in-law Han Yingjie.

In addition to Cheng Xiaodong, Yuan Kui, one of the members of the "Seven Little Blessings" who recently defected, etc., there are also teams from the mainland and the movie "Shaolin Temple" represented by Jet Li.

People who practice martial arts are inevitably angry and are the most likely to cause trouble, and these word-of-mouth jokes have invisibly alleviated a lot of contradictions.

The villain in the first part, Admiral Erdo, Tang Huanrang, who played Wang Renze in the movie "Shaolin Temple", replaced the original version of Zhao Wenzhuo; The actor candidate for Yu Zhenhai, the second hall of the second hall of the villain of the Chinese University of China, does not need to be changed, and Ji Chunhua, who played the vulture in the movie "Shaolin Temple", is already in place.

In order to show his interest in this project, Tang Huan repeated his old tricks. Again, we will be held accountable in a hands-on manner. didn't play many roles. And it basically belongs to Chen Jialuo, the chief helmsman of the Tiandi Club, who is handsome, but he saved the cost of inviting Zheng Shaoqiu, a big-name star.

The difficulty in the filming of these two movies lies in the ingenious and whimsical martial arts scenes, but they have been discussed many times in preparation, and it is not a big problem.

This is also mainly due to Tang Huan's ability to express, although he doesn't know much about filmmaking, he can use the stick figures he is good at to illustrate the effect he wants in a visual way.

So many people at DreamWorks. After all, it's not a dry meal, so use your brains to solve it immediately.

All in all, it was very difficult to shoot, but it was not so difficult that people were overwhelmed, but they were exhausted and busy by the big boss.

The director is jointly served by Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Cheng Xiaodong, Zeng Zhiwei, Yuan Kui and others, and they are filmed in parallel, because these two commercial films are well prepared, and they only need to be shot according to the plan, and there is no need to care about the director's personal characteristics.

This kind of work that seems to have no artistic creativity. Even the most individual Xu Ke did not dare to complain about being boring. He is also counting on the "Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" that he plans to film, and he will get the full support of DreamWorks.

For Tang Huan, the filming process is undoubtedly fresh and interesting, which greatly relieves the pressure caused by the capital war with Jardine Matheson.

In the crew, Tang Huan is undoubtedly the person with the tightest schedule, so his scenes are arranged in front and the filming is prioritized.

So in the following time, as soon as Tang Huan had spare time, he went to the shooting site to watch the excitement.

On this day, the crew happened to shoot a part of Lei Laohu setting up a ring for his daughter Lei Tingting to recruit relatives, and Fang Shiyu and Li Xiaohuan stepped on people's heads.

In the entire crew, the most tired is Jet Li, who has him in almost every scene.

Fortunately, Jet Li is very sensible and understands that he is the key to hard work in life, and he is paid the same salary as Xiangjiang actors, not one dollar a day when filming "Shaolin Temple", but he is also full of energy.

It can be said that Li Lianjie's idea represents the general psychology of these martial artists on the mainland, and this hard work can be seen from their hard work.

The fact is also true, as long as they survive the hard work of these few months and successfully complete the filming task, their life circumstances are completely different after all.

Because Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Cheng Xiaodong, Zeng Zhiwei and others have talked about it a lot, after the release of these two martial arts films designed by the big boss Tang Huan, a new genre will be created, forcing some forms of films to gradually die out, and at the same time, raising the overall production level of Xiangjiang films.

Tang Huanzheng watched with great interest as Xu Ke reprimanded the mistakes on the shooting site, and when hundreds of people, including extras, bowed their heads and listened carefully, Zhou Mi hurriedly came over, but he didn't start reporting until he was dragged to the car.

"I just received two messages, one is about the latest developments in Jardine Matheson, and the other is about the latest major transactions in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, which one do you want to listen to first?" Thoughtful gestures asked.

"Let's talk about Jardine first." Tang Huan lazily picked one at random.

"With the help of HSBC, Jardine Matheson is looking for a home for the newly arrived Heung Kong telephone and Heung Kong electric light, and it is said that it has plans to sell other assets."

Zhou Mi's face was stupid, "It seems that Yihe is really in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't be so busy cashing out." However, these industries should have been taken down by us. If Jardine succeeds, it will be tantamount to eating two less pieces of meat. ”

"Then someone has to be willing and capable of taking over, HSBC is so proactive, could it be that it intends to lend money to support these buyers?" Tang Huan analyzed to himself.

"That's what HSBC is going to do." Zhou Mi nodded, "I heard that among the buyers contacted by Jardine Matheson, including Swire & Co. and Li Jiacheng. ”

"In the current situation, if anyone is the receiver of Jardine Matheson, it means helping the other party and opposing us. Is it true that these people are not afraid at all in their hearts? Tang Huan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"It's hard to say." Zhou Mi spread his hands helplessly, "For the sake of profit, maybe someone really doesn't care about our feelings." ”

"You move on to another piece of news." Tang Huan waved his hand and put the topic aside for the time being.

"The Murray House in Central, which you brought me to my attention, has been sold to the Bank of China by the British government." Zhou Mi's tone revealed a hint of weirdness, "6,700 square meters, but only 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars." ”

Murray House on the north shore of Hong Kong Island was built in 1844 as part of the Murray Barracks and was mainly used as a barracks for the British Army stationed in Hong Kong.

After the Japanese occupation of Heung Kong, the Murray Building was used as the headquarters of the Japanese military police, and there were many prisoner cells and execution grounds, in which more than 4,000 people were killed, which is the deadliest building outside of hospitals.

After the end of the Second World War, Murray House was used as an office of various departments of the British government in Hong Kong, and since 1975, it has been the headquarters of the Rating and Valuation Department.

Obviously, in Central, where every inch of land is at a premium, the use of the land of Murray House is too wasteful, and the benefit is maximized by moving this building and changing the land to commercial use.

"The land we were competing for with Hongkong Land in Central, which was also located in Central, was sold for nearly $5 billion, with an area of 144,000 square feet, or more than 14,000 square meters, which is more than twice the area and more than four times the price compared with the land in Murray House."

After careful calculation, he laughed a little gloatingly, "Perhaps, this is a way for the British government in Hong Kong to show goodwill to the mainland, but super real estate friends Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson, how can they be embarrassed." ”

The site of Murray House is very famous, and it was built as the famous 70-storey Bank of China Building, with a height of 367.4 meters, holding the record of the tallest building in Hong Kong and Asia for more than two years.

The uniquely designed BOC Tower, with its prismatic shape resembling a "rising" bamboo shoot, has become one of the most eye-catching landmarks in Hong Kong, the only famous building in Hong Kong that appeared in the computer games SimCity 3000 and SimCity 4, and has appeared in Hollywood blockbusters many times.

It is precisely because of this fame that Tang Huan has a deep memory of the Bank of China Tower, and deeply understands that the transaction of this land is of extraordinary significance, and there is much to be done.

"You're not right, this piece of land is worth this price, this is the real market of the real estate industry at present." Tang Huan made a powerful gesture to emphasize his judgment, "Hurry up and send out this news as a special financial analysis report, and at the same time expose the inside story of the fake real estate transactions of Jianing Group that we have collected." ”

Zhou Mi was stunned for a moment, and slowly confirmed: "According to your approach, the Xiangjiang real estate industry, which is already in high and dangerous position, will not be looked down upon because of this, which will eventually lead to collapse." ”

"Early death and early life, anyway, the current Xiangjiang real estate industry with this game of play will inevitably suffer this time, so you might as well give it a kick on the road to collapse."

Tang Huan smiled evilly: "Since real estate is worthless, then my technology stocks are more attractive, no matter how Hongkong Land and Jardine Mason take measures to save themselves, it will be useless." ”

At this time, the car had already come to the office building, Tang Huan looked up at the clear blue sky, and took a long breath, "It's all come to this point, I see who else jumps out to help Jardine!" (To be continued......)
