Seeing that Lin Youlun and Spielberg were both looking at him in surprise, Lucas shrugged his shoulders and said, "Imagine, if the three of us can jointly form a film company, good film materials, first-class special effects skills, and abundant financial support...... With all the ingredients in place to run a successful film company, what can stand in the way of our success? ”

Lin Youlun and Spielberg glanced at each other in unison, and then laughed together.

"George, let's wait until my contract with Universal is over."

Spielberg did not refuse outright, this answer was already very satisfactory to Lucas, and he then looked at Lin Youlun to hear what his opinion was.

Two years is enough time for Lin to complete all the arrangements before entering Hollywood, and George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are good collaborators, and with Lin Youlun's familiarity with future film development trends, it will not be difficult for the company to develop smoothly.

"I also agree with Mr. Spielberg that it's better to leave this issue back in two years' time."

Lin Youlun and Spielberg both said this, and Lucas had no choice but to give up, not realizing at the moment what a great film company his proposal would give birth to in the future.

——

Lin Youlun stayed in France for more than a month, during which time there were several box office blockbusters in the Hong Kong film industry.

First of all, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" won 100 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office twice the ticket price of ordinary movies in Hong Kong, and the global box office of the film reached 600 million US dollars, setting a new record for the highest box office of Hong Kong films in one fell swoop. And this figure has once again stirred the nerves of the Hong Kong media and the public, which have been numbed by shock. There are more media predictions. This movie brought Lin Youlun at least 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Some good deeds put together the net profit of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars from a movie by Lin Youlun and the kidnapping of Li Jiacheng's eldest son by gangsters some time ago to extort 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, jokingly saying that making movies is more profitable than robbing and kidnapping tickets.

Before everyone recovered from the record-breaking box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Jiayi Cinema Line announced that the disaster relief movie "Dragon and Phoenix Shop" performed by the all-star lineup finally won 45 million box office.

So far, the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry has raised more than 400 million yuan for the East China flood. The vice minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the mainland expressed his gratitude to Hong Kong compatriots at a press conference, and also affirmed the important role played by the Zhi Fund in the process of fundraising.

The first tranche of the Wisdom Fund has been disbursed, and relevant staff have gone to the disaster area to supervise the use of the disaster relief funds, because of the affirmation of the central government and the cooperation of the governments of the affected areas, the entire disaster relief work has been carried out in an orderly manner.

Back in Hong Kong, the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Dragon and Phoenix Shop" officially kicked off the summer season of films, and various films have seized this golden period, and the Hong Kong version of "The Shawshank Redemption", which topped the Golden Dragon Award at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, won the award all the way from Hong Kong to Europe.

The film was released simultaneously in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Both box office successes.

The box office in Hong Kong exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars in a week, and the box office in Taiwan easily exceeded 40 million Taiwan dollars. Zhou Runfa's unparalleled box office appeal coupled with a wonderful plot vividly explained the words "reigning in the world", and the movies released at the same time had no opponents who could compete with it.

Just when everyone thought that this year's Hong Kong film summer file would continue the previous Hong Kong Film Festival "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "The Shawshank Redemption" competition for hegemony, suddenly another movie came into everyone's sight as a dark horse.

This is the black invested by Mai Danxiong and starring Lu Liangwei. Gang the biographical film "Lame Hao".

The film is based on the famous Hong Kong drug lord Wu Xihao in the 70s. Wu Xihao sold drugs worth more than 300 million yuan, involving more than 16 tons of drugs, was the number one person in Hong Kong's drug trafficking organization that year, and was arrested on the evening of November 11, 1974.

Hong Kong black. It has always been a rule that the consent of the parties involved in making a movie must be obtained, and the surname cannot be specified, otherwise no matter how good the film is, it will not be released. Although Wu Xihao had already died of liver cancer when Mai Danxiong made this movie, Mai Danxiong, who was known for his boldness in filming, did not dare to name his name in the movie, and had to add a paragraph in front of the movie: "When this film was filmed, without the consent of Mr. Wu Xihao. If there are plots such as imitation and innuendo in the film, it is a coincidence. We would like to apologize to Mr. Wu for any inconvenience this may cause. "It's soft.

Of course, the film itself is quite brilliantly shot, although the scene lasts for 2 and a half hours, but it is majestic and there is no bullying in one go.

The beginning of the movie begins with Wu Guohao listening to the priest in the prison church, Wu Guohao was already a gray-haired old man at that time, and as he slowly recalled his past, he also led the audience back to the chaotic society in the 60s and 70s.

Wu Guohao, who came to Hong Kong with the wave of famine refugees, lived a miserable life at first, was bullied, and in order to survive, a group of Chaozhou brothers stole and smashed, and gradually became famous, and then caught up with the Hong Kong white powder Chaozhou boss "Fat Bo", and helped him rob the Hakka family's flour stall business in Hong Kong Shixiawei, so as to be helped to the top.

With the rise of status and the expansion of business, the contradiction between Wu Guohao and Fatty Bo has become increasingly intensified, and in the end, he is desperate to overturn "Fatty Bo", which also attracted the dissatisfaction of Inspector Lei Luo, who takes care of Fatty Bo, and began to sweep Wu Guohao's stalls. In the emergency, Wu Guohao helped Lei Luo get back his illegitimate child, so he was reused, and the police and bandits cooperated, and finally "Lame Hao" became the overlord of the Hong Kong drug trafficking syndicate, but his fate took a sharp turn when his career was at its peak.

In 1973, when the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established in Hong Kong, everyone in the police force was in danger, Lei Luo persuaded Wu Guohao to stop, but Wu Guohao was arrogant and arrogant, and finally betrayed his relatives and was betrayed by his subordinates and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

In the early 80s, Mak Danxiong's films were the object of imitation by many film companies, and the director of "True Lies" once became Hong Kong's leading commercial film director.

In the Hong Kong film industry, which is full of talents, people who dare to say that they have stood at the top of the industry can be counted on one hand, and after the peak, only Mai Danxiong can retreat bravely, after filming "True Lies", he began to serve as the distribution manager of Jiayi Cinema Line, responsible for the distribution of Hong Kong films in Europe, since then no new films have been released, and the production company under his name has slowly reduced production.

Just when everyone was about to forget about Mai Danxiong, Mai Danxiong came back with "Lame Hao".

Although this movie is not directed by Mai Danxiong himself, he himself is only a nominal producer, but the whole movie Mai's color is very strong, and there are many characters in the film and complex relationships, but it is handled in an orderly and clear manner. There are all kinds of intrigues and tricks, but there is no Hong Kong-style mentally handicapped, the story peaks and loops are realistic, and the movie is more than two hours long, and the audience who comes out of the theater feels quite enjoyable.

The actor Lu Liangwei gained dozens of pounds in order to show the lame man's big belly, and his professionalism was unanimously praised by the media, after the release of the film, he once admitted frankly in front of the media that he was also cooperating with Mai Danxiong, "Lame Hao" is more difficult to act than "True Lies", although "True Lies" is grand and thrilling, but the requirements for acting skills are not very high, but there are many inner emotions in "Lame Hao" to be expressed through facial expressions, which is a big challenge for Lu Liangwei.

Lu Liangwei once ranked among the top actors in Asia because of his role in "True Lies", and a movie has become popular until now, I have to say that his luck is really good, seeing that his previous reputation has almost been consumed, he was reluctantly asked by Lin Youlun and Mai Danxiong to make this movie, but he didn't expect it to become popular again.

With the box office performance and popularity of "Lame Hao" after its release, it will not be a problem for Lu Liangwei to become popular for at least another two or three years.

And the supporting roles in the film are also very eye-catching this time, the lewd insect anti-bone boy Wu Qihua, the treacherous detective Zeng Jiang, Zheng Zeshi, Ye Zimei, Li Zixiong, Xu Jinjiang and others are all both physical and spiritual, eye-catching but not scene-stealing, it can be said that it is a very high level of supporting roles.

Mai Danxiong's comeback not only made the Hong Kong film summer file a dark horse, but also set off a wave of biographical films in the Hong Kong film industry, among which the fastest action is Xiang Huaqiang.

Seeing that "Lame Hao" is so profitable, Xiang Huaqiang hit the idea of Wu Guohao's police umbrella Lei Luo in "Lame Hao", and Lu Le, the head of the four detectives in reality.

Lu Le joined the Hong Kong Police Force in the 40s, starting from a low-level police officer, all the way to the chief inspector of Hong Kong Island, who is the first of the four detectives.

In 1973, the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, and Lu Le, who had retired, fled to Taiwan when he heard the news, and according to the ICAC investigation at that time, Lu Le's net worth exceeded 500 million.

Xiang Huaqiang's eldest brother Xiang Huayan is Lu Le's uncle, and he has been the leader of New Ngee An before he was arrested by the police in the 80s.

Just when Lin Youlun returned to Hong Kong, Xiang Huaqiang had already found someone to write the script of the film, and the heroine in the film wanted Qiu Shuzhen to play it, so the news about this movie spread from Qiu Shuzhen to Lin Youlun's ears.
