Chapter 229. Each leads the way

In response to Chen Xuanting's announced Hollywood plan for Thunder Pictures.

The media in Hong Kong gave very enthusiastic reports.

Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" - "Big team, big production, big investment, thunder and thousands of strikes!" "Changing Face" attacks Hollywood! ”

Hong Kong's "Oriental News" - "Let Nicolas Cage work, let Hong Kong actors laugh and be proud of the screen, thunder is a cow!" ”

Hong Kong's "Apple Newspaper" -- "I have to say that the golden decade of Hong Kong films is not only not over, but still far away!" ”

……… For a while, the whole of Hong Kong was boiling, and they were all proud of the Thunder Save Hong Kong movie.

You must know that Hong Kong movies were once glorious, Bruce Lee was the first person to enter Hollywood, followed by Jackie Chan, but after Jackie Chan filmed "Cannonball Speed" and "Killer Trench", he returned home.

Now, Thunder Pictures has been born, and it has finally given Hong Kong people a taste of rising spirits.

After solving some things in Hong Kong, Chen Xuanting began to plan to expand his career outside.

Hong Kong is too small, with a population of 6 million, and no matter how much it develops, it has limitations.

Therefore, Chen Xuanting moved his gaze to the surroundings.

The United States, Taiwan, and the mainland decided to let Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen and Li Ruotong have three lovers to explore, while his mother Qiao Huiru is in charge of the Thunder Group in Hong Kong.

As for yourself, you are ready to go to the book!

Why did Chen Xuanting go to Yueben? You must know that in the 90s, when the Korean Wave was not yet on the rise, it was the country with the largest output of Asian idol groups. and has cultivated a large number of excellent singers and actors, such as Fujiwara Norika, Kimura Takuya, and the great director Takeshi Kitano and so on...... It can be said that the early 90s was the most prosperous season in the entertainment industry, and Chen Xuanting decided to go there to open up and open up the market, help him engage in the entertainment business, export Chinese culture, and bring their culture over. Of course, the most important thing is that he has to do two things, first, to open up the market in Yueben by relying on the drama "The Troubled Son", and second, to spend a huge amount of money to set up an "AV office" in Yueben.

However, before going to Yuben, Qiao Huiru, as his mother, had already gone there first, because she had a vicious eye, she had already until her son wanted to have a Tokyo strategy, so she had to pave the road first, so as not to let her son be too tired when she got it.

Of course, Chen Xuanting understood his mother's thoughts, and after being moved in his heart, he went to the airport to see him off in person. Qiao Huiru waved goodbye to her son.

Looking back, Chen Xuanting cleaned up his mood. There's something else he has to do that is very important, what is it? The new cinema he built in Tseung Kwan O is almost complete. He had to preside over the overall situation and hold a grand banquet.

December 15, 1992.

At dusk, Chen Xuanting stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the large sky outside the window, looking at the glorious harbor in the distance, and gently caressing his chin with his slender fingers. In the tone of absolute authority that controls everything, he asks, "Is everything ready?" ”

The faint sunlight of dusk shone on him, and the light cast a halo on him, making him seem so high.

Including Stephen Chow, Ren Dahua, Ma Weihao, Zhang Daming, Wu Yusen, Wang Jing, and Lei Yaoyang, who are now under his net, all stood respectfully ten meters behind him, all staring at him like the most obedient baby.

Hearing the question, Lei Yaoyang replied, "Ah Ting, you can rest assured." I've checked every detail, and the new cinema opens tonight. It's sure to be a big hit! ”

"That's good, don't mess it up for me, the first shot must be loud and loud!"

Chen Xuanting is still relatively relieved of his sworn friend Lei Yaoyang, this kid is thick and fine, and he is very courageous. It's no longer a problem for him to preside over this opening ceremony.

Evening is coming, and the new cinema that has been completed will open tonight.

There are as many as 100 people who came to congratulate today, in order to ensure safety. Chen Xuanting specially made a phone call to Ren Darong, and asked him to mobilize hundreds of traffic police to maintain order at the intersection near the new cinema.

This Tseung Kwan O was not too prosperous, but with the development of Chen Xuanting's Datong, it has now become a prosperous place of commerce, and the Xiang brothers in New Ngee An are around, as well as Da Sixi, and everyone who follows Chen Xuanting has been benefited, and many entertainment venues, hotels, shopping malls and so on have been opened here.

At this moment, these people who followed Chen Xuanting tasted the sweetness, and those who were unwilling to invest with Chen Xuanting at the beginning regretted it even more.

In the hall of the new cinema, the huge crystal glass chandelier has not yet been opened, and a tall figure stands tall on the stage, faintly under the fluorescent light, setting off an indescribable mystery and arrogance.

At this moment, I only heard a very magnetic voice say: "Someone once asked me, there is Broadway in New York, there is a Moulin Rouge in Paris, what do you have in Hong Kong?" I didn't know what to say at the time, but today, right now, I know the answerβ€”"

"Today is a good day for the opening of our new cinema, and I hope that when people mention Hong Kong in the future, they will think of this cinema and our Thunder Pictures! This is not because it is an industry of my Chen Xuanting, but because it represents the prosperity and prosperity of our Hong Kong and has witnessed the joint efforts of tens of millions of Hong Kong citizens... The prosperity of Hong Kong films cannot be created by one person, it depends on everyone's efforts and struggles, and with everyone's sweat, we will irrigate our beautiful Hong Kong tomorrow... Ladies and gentlemen, now I solemnly announce that Thunder Studios is officially opened! ”

In the burst of fireworks, the huge crystal glass lamp slowly turned on, projected on Chen Xuanting's straight posture, and the beautiful music also sounded immediately, but seeing the splendid city that never sleeps, the lights are colorful, and the friends are full, and there is indescribable joy everywhere.

In the middle of the hall there was a cage more than one person high, and there was a sound in the cage, and there were two or three beautiful women dressed in the family name in it, and in it was a very avant-garde pole dance that opened everyone's eyes more than any glamorous dance.

The woman with the surname who danced the striptease in the cage has a long and beautiful body, and she is in her twenties, in Chen Xuanting's opinion, this kind of entertainment was simply pediatric in her previous life, but now it makes many people have a kind of "lustful dog and horse" enjoyment.

Looking at the field, there are countless "bunny girls" wearing swimsuit-style costumes with trays in their hands and swimming in the crowd with red wine. Each is beautiful and moving, making people reverie again and again.

Restaurants, casinos, restaurants, interpretation halls, gyms, swimming pools, and a variety of entertainment programs are all shining at this moment.

The Governor of Hong Kong, the Financial Secretary, the Chief Secretary for Administration, and other high-ranking officials, film celebrities, entertainment stars, Hong Kong media, and black and white bigwigs and tycoons came to congratulate him. and the 100 guests and celebrities who were invited very decently, which can be regarded as a means to completely convince Chen Xuanting. You can do such an amazing scene, you really know how to eat your brain!

Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten is also beaming today, watching Chen Xuanting keep greeting people, so popular than himself, the Hong Kong Governor, can't help but envy and jealousy, holding a red wine glass to Chen Xuanting said: "Dear Chen, you have a very remarkable business acumen, I believe, even in the United States, which is known as a paradise on earth." I can't find a place like this studio! ”

Chen Xuanting said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you have won the award, and the reason why our new cinema is today is inseparable from your encouragement and support. Didn't you auction this land at a low price? You see, now everything has paid off for you, and such a prosperous scene once again proves your wisdom and wisdom... I believe that soon it will become one of the brightest stars in Hong Kong! ”

Patten touched his big back in a chic manner and said, "You are very right. Hong Kong will definitely be prosperous, God knows how much effort I put into this land! ”

Chen Xuanting raised his glass and touched him lightly. Then with a snap of his fingers, a bunny girl who had already arranged for him to deliver several exquisite VIP cards on a tray.

But seeing that each VIP card is made of gold and engraved with Chen Xuanting's signature, just looking at the texture is absolutely weighty.

Chen Xuanting politely handed the VIP card to Patten and said: "This is a gold VIP card specially prepared for VIPs in our cinema, and all consumption here can be discounted by 50%, or even free!" Limited edition of sixteen, and you, the first one! ”

Chris Patten happily accepted this gift that could definitely show his identity, and said: "Oh, dear Chen, thank you so much, just now I was worried that you would not be able to afford to spend here in the future, so you will be able to send charcoal in the snow!" ”

Chen Xuanting laughed, "In the future, we will need your strong support for our work!" ”

"Of course, of course!" Patten couldn't close his mouth.

Chen Xuanting wants his words, you must know that the Hong Kong governor made a top move, he just threw out a little bait, and used this big fish to catch more big fish, and the banknotes in the future will definitely be caught.

In the next moment, Chen Xuanting greeted celebrities with heads and faces one by one with wine glasses, and most of them took the initiative to greet and congratulate him.

Time is running out, Chen Xuanting did not forget the other highlight he prepared tonight, and once again appeared on the stage in good spirits, and said to the slightly boiling crowd below: "Tonight is not only a good day for the opening of Thunder New Cinemas, but also the screening of our Thunder Film's first play "Changing Face" in Hollywood... I just want to say that although this short film is not long, it embodies a lot of hard work and sweat of our staff, and Chow Yun-fat and Nicolas Cage joined in. ”

"Although this drama has not officially started filming yet, you can see the story of this drama from the trailer that you will wait for a while. As for whether it looks good or not, whether it is wonderful or not, whether everyone will buy tickets in the future or not, then wait and see! Well, now the trailer is about to be screened, and after the screening, the main actors of the film will take the stage one by one to receive interviews and congratulations from everyone! ”

The hall fell silent again, the lights slowly dimmed, and the projector projected the film onto a huge screen. Soon the exquisite story, the dual protagonists of good and evil, as well as those absolutely exciting hot shots, gunfight sequences, are all shown in people's eyes.

I have to say that now the Thunder is strong, even if it is filmed, it is enough to make people breathtaking. What's more, Chen Xuanting asked John Woo to use computer stunts in this one first. So it looks more powerful.

No one knows that it was this simple film that made Hong Kong films move forward by leaps and bounds from that moment.

The nearly ten-minute trailer has finally come to an end, and everyone is still immersed in a dreamlike space, is this a shootout movie? Is this made in Hong Kong?! Thoughts of anticipation surged in the hearts of countless people. I wish this drama would be filmed and released earlier!

When director John Woo appeared on stage with Chow Yun-fat, Donnie Yen and many other Hong Kong actors, the entire hall of the film city resounded with thunderous applause, and the applause was endless, as if to vent the burning fire in everyone's hearts.

John Woo modestly introduced his ideas for directing this film, and talked about the pressure he was under and the serious problems he would face in the future filming. finally declared: "Our Hong Kong movies are very good, but Hollywood movies are even better, we can't be arrogant, so we must go out!" This time, Mr. Chen Xuanting invested heavily in the filming of "Changing Face" and invited Hollywood superstars to join, the reason is very simple, that is, to use their strength to make our Hong Kong movie name! ”

"I'm a director and an artist! I love movies and Hong Kong, so I hope that I can finish filming this drama smoothly, and I hope that Hong Kong films can create brilliance again in the future! Thank you! ”

The applause rang out again, and even the cinema tycoon Shao Yifu, who had been silent after watching the film, couldn't help but applaud softly, yes, if you want to break out of Hong Kong, go to the world, and let Hong Kong movies be in the spotlight, how much courage and perseverance does it take... Yes, I make my own movies to make money. But I am also deeply in love with the film industry, and I dare not do it, but someone does it. The other party is definitely a hero worthy of his respect! Immediately after that, it was time for Chow Yun-fat's personal charm to be displayed, and everyone found out that the Hong Kong actor not only had good acting skills, but also practiced fluent English.

If an actor can conquer the audience without speaking and relying on his stage type alone, then Chow Yun-fat is absolutely amazing.

Chen Xuanting stood under the stage with a wine glass in a refreshed spirit, looking up slightly at the dazzling superstar he was holding, he knew that he had succeeded, because in front of him, Run Run Shaw was walking towards him with a wine glass on crutches.

"Ah Ting, you are really a good means, the "Changing Face" that you are going to invest in filming looks like it is going to be a super blockbuster, I really don't know if the blockbusters of other Hong Kong film companies can withstand its impact?" Run Run Shaw asked with a smile.

"Sixth uncle, you have praised it falsely, I just grabbed the opportunity, when it comes to making movies, you are a great expert!"

"Haha, that's in the past, I'm retired now. Also, I'll take care of the sale of Shaw Brothers Cinemas for you, I didn't expect the scale to expand so much now! It's terrifying! Run Run Shaw raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with Chen Xuanting, drank it all, and then said: "Everything is in plain sight, I hope you can make persistent efforts in the future to run Shaw Brothers Cinemas, no, it should be Chen's Cinemas, and continue to operate it well!" Let those ghosts see, we can also make good movies, and we can also dissipate heat and shine in Hollywood! ”

Chen Xuanting smiled lightly and said: "I think we should look farther, what we need to do is to build Hong Kong into a film base for the whole of Asia and even the world, surpassing the Hollywood of the ghosts!" ”

Such ambition can't help but arouse the blood of Run Run Shaw, he once didn't have this dream, but in the passage of time, this great dream is getting higher and more unattainable, at this moment, although he has retired, but the rise of Chen Xuanting has given Hong Kong people new hope.

Hong Kong people's movie dreams, Hong Kong people's Hollywood dreams, maybe it's no longer just a dream, after all, dreams and reality are only one step away from reality in many cases.

In front of him, Chen Xuanting stretched out his strong and powerful hand, Run Run Shaw smiled and shook it, Chen Xuanting smiled: "It is undeniable that the starry sky in Hong Kong will be brighter and more brilliant in the future!" ”

Singing and dancing are flourishing, and the wine is hot.

Stephen Chow, Ren Dahua, Ma Weihao and others looked at the magnificent scene in front of them, and a group of them gathered around Chen Xuanting, looking around happily.

At this time, as the "king of comedy" in Hong Kong, Stephen Chow's mood is extremely cool, when Chen Xuanting let himself invest, he was still looking forward and backward, afraid that he would lose all his money, but now, look at it, this face, pick, how imposing it is? How many cinemas in Greater Hong Kong will have such achievements?

So he excitedly said to Chen Xuanting: "Ah Ting, thank you so much." I'm a handful, hehe, I was a little worried at the beginning! If it weren't for Ren Dahua, I wouldn't have dared to make such a big determination... Hehe, it's really rich and dangerous, look at this scene, from today onwards, we can be considered developed! ”

After hearing this, Chen Xuanting just smiled, slowly took out a box of cigarette rolls from the pocket of his suit vest, took out one of them, and put it in his mouth. Stephen Chow shook his hand and took out a lighter from his back waist, and lit a bright flame in front of the cigarette next to Chen Xuanting's mouth.

Chen Xuanting lit the cigarette on fire, turned the cigarette in his hand around his fingers, and said lightly to Stephen Chow: "Ah Xing, you must know that our future will be better, and everything now is just the beginning!" Are you ready? ”

Stephen Chow showed a sincere smile on his face and said, "It's done!" Just waiting to set sail with you! ”

"Hehe," Chen Xuanting smiled, "You better make your movie and wait to enter Hollywood!" ”

"Into Hollywood?"

"Yes, your comedy style is very good, I believe there will be a market in Hollywood, and you can compete with Jim Carrey when the time comes!"

Stephen Chow was excited, after all, in addition to being a shareholder of Thunder Pictures, he is also an excellent film actor.

Later, Ren Dahua hurriedly said: "Ah Xing, don't hurry up and thank Ah Ting, I don't think this beautiful thing is yet!" ”

"Hehe, thank you, thank you, they are all our own brothers, we have to work together in the future!"

Stephen Chow and Ren Dahua glanced at each other, and then said loudly: "That's a must!" ”

In the end, the opening ceremony of the grand Thunder Studios ended smoothly with the grandeur and success of the event, so that the people who attended the event were still immersed in the excitement of relishing.

As Chen Xuanting's confidante, Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen, and Li Ruotong and others also attended this grand banquet.

In addition to them, there are also many entertainment beauties such as Guan Zhilin, Qi Qingsi, Zhang Min, etc., these women compete for beauty, which makes the whole scene beautiful.

In comparison, Li Jiaxin belongs to the kind of person who is used to attending any occasion, and in her arrogant and elegant demeanor, she makes everyone pay attention to her.

As for Qiu Shuzhen, her surname is euphemistic and gentle, on such occasions, she is more like an obedient and obedient little jasper, and she is also like Xiao Zhao in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", giving people the feeling of a little sister next door.

As for Li Ruotong, her surname is upright and bold, and she loves to play with her temper, although she has the dusting excellence of Xiaolongnu, she does not have her temperament that does not eat the fireworks of the world. She regards Li Jiaxin as her opponent, competing for glory, and she is very busy.

In addition to the three women, the last aura and popularity may be the big-eyed beauty Guan Zhilin.

The charm of a mature woman is undoubtedly displayed in her. Especially her charming and smiling appearance, with big watery eyes. It makes many men unrelenting.

After a struggle, these women fought for clothes, taste, and style - Li Jiaxin finally came out on top, and Li Ruotong gradually took the lead, only Qiu Shuzhen was too drunk to drink, and was slightly drunk.

Among the many beauties, the big-eyed beauty Guan Zhilin has a good relationship with Qiu Shuzhen, and the two have starred in many movies together, including the "Best Friend" series.

Chen Xuanting felt sorry for Qiu Shuzhen, a stupid girl, so he asked Guan Zhilin to take her back in advance. Guan Zhilin saw that Li Jiaxin and Li Ruotong were present, and it was boring for her to stay here, so she used the excuse of sending Qiu Shuzhen home and left the banquet early. Leaving Li Ruotong alone to lead the way.
