"Senior brother, have you encountered any happy events recently?" Yuan Yi turned his head from the passenger seat, and when he saw Hong Jinbao wandering, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but ask.

Hong Jinbao, who was sitting in the back seat, came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Is there one? ”

Yuan Qiu joked on the side: "There must be, I don't think you almost laughed out loud." ”

Hong Jinbao touched his chin and said mysteriously: "This matter has to be kept secret for the time being, and you will know the truth after a while." ”

Yuan Yi blinked in surprise, "Do you still play this game?" ”

Yuan Qiu also coaxed: "That's it, you really treat us as outsiders." ”

Hong Jinbao spread his hands, "Okay, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but that it hasn't been completely decided yet, if I tell you the news first, if this thing doesn't work out, then wouldn't I be very faceless?" ”

"Then we can remember, but don't forget to treat you to dinner!" Yuan Qiu emphasized.

"You......" Facing his only junior sister, Hong Jinbao didn't know what to say. At the beginning, Hong Jinbao thought about cultivating Yuanqiu to become a screen beater, but the audience didn't accept it, and Yuanqiu himself was disheartened, so he changed careers and married after making a few movies.

In contrast, Yuan Di made Hong Jinbao very pleased.

In the mid-eighties, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Di were the most popular kung fu movie stars in Hong Kong.

Yuan Di often followed Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long to make films at the beginning, and the three of them collaborated together at the beginning of "A Scheme", and then "Five Lucky Stars" and "Food Truck". In the meantime. All three have set up their own film companies. Cheng Long is Weihe, Hong Jinbao is Baohe, and Yuanqi is Taihe.

After their respective careers have improved, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Tong have gradually fewer opportunities to work together, "Flying Dragon Warrior" is the last film that the three of them cooperated, and then Cheng Long began to enter the overseas film market with the support of Golden Harvest, but Hong Jinbao and Yuan Huang still cooperate from time to time. Last year, the two also collaborated on a "Oriental Vulture".

During this time, Yuan Di's popularity in Japan skyrocketed because he starred in "The Peacock Prince" produced by Cai Yan, and he kept making film appointments, and he was busy filming, and rarely contacted Hong Jinbao, so he actually couldn't help it.

Yuan Jin did not forget that he became famous in one fell swoop because he starred in the movie "Juggling Boy" directed by Hong Jinbao, although Hong Jinbao has felt a little worse in the past two years, but in Yuan Yuan's heart, Hong Jinbao will always be his respected elder brother.

This time, Hong Jinbao proposed that the members of the "Seven Little Blessings" get together. Yuan was also the first to express his support.

"Seven Little Blessings" is the name of the troupe specially chosen by the master Yu Zhanyuan for the apprentices when they were learning art in Liyuan. From the name. Many people mistakenly think that "Seven Little Blessings" refers to 7 people, but in fact, there are a total of 14 people in the entire troupe, but the seven people behind Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Yuan Di, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Yuan De, and Yuan Bin are more famous, so it is logical for everyone to refer to the "Seven Little Blessings" to the seven of them.

At this gathering, in addition to calling all the juniors and sisters who are working hard in the film industry, those who have not entered this circle and have changed their careers to make a living by other means are also invited.

Except for Yuan Jun, who was far away and couldn't come back, the other brothers and sisters all happily went to the appointment, but Cheng Long did not agree to come over to participate in this party on the grounds that filming was inseparable.

Yuan Di and Yuan Qiu took Hong Jinbao's car to the restaurant where the party was gathered, and on the way, both of them tacitly did not mention topics related to Cheng Long, so as not to make Hong Jinbao unhappy, but at the dinner table, Yuan Hua mentioned this matter.

"Some people are great now, and they are international action superstars, so they don't take those of us who have struggled together in our eyes."

In 1971, Yu Zhanyuan's troupe was disbanded, and Hong Jinbao, who graduated from the school three years ago, had been promoted from a dragon and tiger martial artist to a martial arts instructor at this time.

In that movie, Yuan Di and Yuan Kui played two Japanese ronins who were violently beaten by Bruce Lee, while Yuan Hua was Bruce Lee's stunt double, and some of the acrobatic moves in the film were basically completed by him.

Yuan Hua is famous for playing the villain in Hong Jinbao's movie, and he is also Hong Jinbao's staunchest supporter, he has always been unaccustomed to Cheng Long's various practices after gaining power, so he couldn't help complaining with the strength of wine.

"In the years when the senior brother was in the limelight, he often came to cooperate with the senior brother, to put it bluntly, he wanted to use the senior brother to become famous, and now that he is famous, even the senior brother is not in his eyes."

The originally lively banquet became a little cold in an instant because of Yuan Hua's words.

Yuan Hua was not wrong in saying this, but it seemed very inappropriate to say it on such an occasion. Indeed, in the early years, Hong Jinbao's fame was much greater, even in 1985, when "Police Story" was very popular, Cheng Long was invited to the stage to present the award, and the host just regarded him as an object that could be joked, at that time, the host said that the list of winners was placed at the top of the audience seat in the gymnasium, and let Cheng Long run up to get the list of winners in 30 seconds to announce the winners, Cheng Long immediately did so, the whole process was a bit like playing monkey, and Hong Jinbao participated in similar activities in the same year, When he appeared, he rode on the lifting platform in the center of the stage, which was majestic, and the host had to introduce that he was the big brother in the film industry!

Cheng Long really became the big brother in the film industry after starring in Hong Kong blockbusters such as "Red Fan Zone" and "Die Hard", which entered the international market, but Hong Jinbao has been going downhill in recent years, so his fame was surpassed by Cheng Long.

Hong Jinbao made a face, "Yuanhua, how do you speak?" ”

"Senior brother, what I said is from my heart, I ......"

Before Yuan Hua finished speaking, he was covered by Yuan Di, who was sitting next to him.

"He drank too much and talked nonsense, so don't care."

Yuan Di explained that even those brothers who have left the film industry can see that there must be a problem in this.

"Let me be fair." Yuan Bin, who had not been talking much at the wine table, suddenly opened his mouth.

Among all the senior brothers, Yuan Bin's situation is very special. The other brothers have gathered around Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, or as martial arts instructors, or on the screen, and they can come out more or less thanks to the support of the two people in front of them, only Yuan Bin joined the Shaw Brothers, who has been the deputy martial arts instructor of the Shaw Brothers since the end of the 70s, and met Du Qifeng by chance.

Wang Jing and Du Qifeng established a film company, and Yuan Bin was invited by Du Qifeng to be the action director, because he has not received too much support from Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, so Yuan Bin's position will be more objective and fair.

"I met Yuan Lou on the set yesterday, he was indeed rushing to make a movie, I heard from others that he only slept three or four hours a day during this time, and the rest of the time was filming...... Of course, he should really come to such a gathering today, after all, everyone's friendship for so many years is here, but those of us who are brothers and sisters should also be considerate of him, after all, it is not easy to get to his position, he doesn't fight now, and he can't fight if he wants to fight in a few years, and it is not easy for everyone to eat this line of food. ”

As soon as Yuan Bin said this, the few people who originally had some opinions about Cheng Long did not speak again.

"Okay, let's drink and eat, don't mention those unpleasant things." Yuan Kui stood up to play a round, and the other brothers and sisters also responded, and the matter was revealed, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again.

After drinking and eating, everyone dispersed in the car, and Yuan Qiu's husband drove over to pick her up, so on the way back, only Yuan Di and Hong Jinbao were left in the car.

"Actually, this matter can't be completely blamed on Yuanlou, since Mr. Zou dug Li Yuanba here, he has really a lot of pressure, and now many people are spreading that Mr. Zou is ready to replace his position with Li Yuanba, I heard that Mr. Lin also means this." Yuan Di has been cooperating with Golden Harvest to make films, and I have heard a lot of news about this.

"Didn't he bring it all on himself? I told him a long time ago not to be too sharp, but he relied on his relationship with Mr. He and never took my words seriously, and now he has tasted the bitterness. At the beginning, Mr. Lin was going to ask him to play the male protagonist in "Mythology" at the beginning, but he actually played a big name and didn't go to see Mr. Lin, if it was just this, the last thing he should do is to contact Hollywood studios in private, which is exactly Mr. Zou's taboo. Hong Jinbao didn't say anything about Cheng Long at the dinner table, but this doesn't mean that he has no opinion on Cheng Long, at least from these words, Yuan Yi has heard a lot of resentment.

"But I always feel that Li Yuanba is a little unreliable."

Hong Jinbao shook his head, "Regardless of his ability for the time being, judging from his two betrayals of Wu Siyuan, this person's character is not very good." ”

Yuan Yan was stunned for a moment, "Senior brother is not optimistic about this person?" ”

"It's not that I'm not optimistic, but I think Mr. Zou didn't choose the right person from the beginning, and he asked Li Yuanba to be Yuanlou's opponent, which was simply to seek the near and far." Hong Jinbao explained.

Yuan Di didn't quite understand, Hong Jinbao didn't make any more detours, and said directly: "Actually, I think that the most qualified person to be Yuanlou's opponent is you!" ”

Yuan Di's eyes widened in surprise, he had never thought about it before.

Hong Jinbao shrugged, "You don't have to look at me like that, I didn't say this, it was Mr. Lin who said it." (To be continued......)
