worked as a concrete mixer, worked as a cook for chopping and dividing vegetables, was penniless, had no place to live, and even cried bitterly because he was ugly and lost the opportunity to perform - the bumpy road that kung fu actor Jackie Chan has walked is poignant. Behind the superstar halo is an unknown sad history of blood and tears.

When Jackie Chan was a child, because he was "delicious" and "aggressive", his academic performance was terrible. In the final exam of the second year of the first grade, he failed two subjects and was ordered to repeat a grade by the school. So, he picked up his schoolbag again and went to first grade. However, no matter how teachers and parents controlled, Jackie Chan still did not improve in his studies, so that the first grade became the highest education in his life.

After becoming a big star, Jackie Chan has joked many times that his reading career is "reading and reading is the first grade".

The parents saw that their son was not a material for studying, but they couldn't think of a good way to take advantage of the situation, so they frowned. Mrs. Chen discussed with her husband: "I think Hong Kong Shengsheng is active and playful, and he is a piece of material for martial arts, so it is better to let him learn martial arts." So Jackie Chan worshipped Zhan Yuan as his teacher.

Yu Zhanyuan has a special status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. He moved to Hong Kong in the late 40s. When he was in the mainland, he studied Peking Opera Wusheng, but he was not well-known, and even after coming to Hong Kong, he did not make much achievements in stage performances. His main merit lies in the fact that he created the "Seven Little Blessings", which established his status as a star-level gardener. The so-called "Seven Little Blessings" refers to the seven people who have the best academic and artistic achievements in Zhanyuan Opera School and later made great achievements in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, including the eldest disciple Sammo Hung, followed by Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Yuan Long, Yuan Jun, Yuan De, and Yuan Biao. The "Yuan Long" who ranked fourth above is Jackie Chan.

Among the seven, Sammo Hung became the first to become famous, although his later achievements in acting were not as good as Jackie Chan, but his career development was broader than Jackie Chan, and the other six people all had their own achievements.

Jackie Chan's ten years of hard training in the drama school laid a solid foundation for his later development.

When he first entered the film industry, Jackie Chan was just a miscellaneous worker in the film studio, helping with props, adjusting the lighting, counting a day's money for a day's work, and sometimes acting as a stand-in for big stars. During this time, he became acquainted with Cathay Pacific Films' deputy general manager, Chen Ziqiang, who helped him with his financial difficulties and helped him become a martial arts instructor.

During this period, Jackie Chan filmed many movies, such as "Flowers Fly in Spring" and "Shaolin Gate", but they were all supporting roles. It is worth pointing out that in "Flowers Fly in Spring", Jackie Chan and Milan, a star known as "meat bomb" at the time, performed a bed scene, in the film, he went into battle naked ~ naked, kissed and hugged Milan in bed with a great sense of surname, and performed the love affair between men and women. To this day, there are still people who use these things to stimulate Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan said that he had no impression of this incident, of course, he never refused to film bed scenes again after he became famous.

Later, under the support of Chen Ziqiang, Jackie Chan started filming "New Jingwumen" as the leading actor, and since then Jackie Chan's name has appeared on the cast list for the first time. People found that Jackie Chan did not simply imitate Bruce Lee, but created another style of martial arts films, he changed the bloody scenes of hard guns and fierce fights in Bruce Lee's kung fu films, and integrated martial arts with Peking Opera moves, car skills, acrobatics and other skills, creating a kind of "humorous kung fu film" that is both thrilling and full of comedy, which was well received by the audience.

But judging from the box office revenue of the listing, the income of the film was only 456,000 Hong Kong dollars when it was released for seven days, and the total income cannot be compared with Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen", which exceeded 5 million Hong Kong dollars. The truth is grim, Jackie Chan failed to hit the ground running.

Since then, Luo Wei has been bent on becoming a popular Jackie Chan. One day at a friend's house, during the dinner, Luo Wei and Gu Long were talking about the copyright of a martial arts novel, and wanted to buy it for Jackie Chan to star. Gu Long, who was straightforward, said unabashedly in front of Jackie Chan: "He? How can he act in my novels. My novel was written for David Jiang and Dillon. The implication is that Jackie Chan is ugly. Jackie Chan didn't say a word after hearing this, and quietly hid in the toilet and cried when others were not paying attention. As a last resort, Luo Wei Company let Jackie Chan enter the beauty salon and cut his double eyelids.

For more than two years after that, Jackie Chan was still neither popular nor black, until a "Serpentine Trickster" came out. After the release of this "humorous martial arts film", it was warmly welcomed. "Serpentine Trickster" was released for 15 days, and the box office revenue reached 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars, and Jackie Chan became famous. Since then, humorous martial arts films have become a new genre among Hong Kong's "comedy films" family.

In October 1978, "Drunken Fist" was released in Hong Kong, and the box office revenue reached 6.7 million Hong Kong dollars in four weeks. Jackie Chan created the most glorious record since the film with this work.

The famous Hong Kong director Zhang Che once spoke highly of Jackie Chan's performance in this film, he said that "Drunken Fist" is wonderful with Jackie Chan's strong rhythm, which is indeed beyond the ability of ordinary people. "Drunken Fist" later became one of Jackie Chan's representative works.

After Jackie Chan became famous, Golden Harvest Company launched a poaching operation against Jackie Chan. Zou Wenhuai sent He Guanchang, the real power figure of the company, to meet Jackie Chan privately, hoping that Jackie Chan would switch to Golden Harvest Company, and handed him a cash check on the spot, and specifically explained that this was only a deposit for filming. It is said that Jackie Chan was stunned when he looked at the check, since he was a child, his arithmetic ability has been very poor, and intuitively he knew that the amount on the check was very large, with a "1" in front and many "0s" followed by it, but he couldn't recognize how much it was for a while. Fortunately, He Guanchang had to answer a phone call halfway, and Jackie Chan took the opportunity to count with his fingers repeatedly. But He Guanchang returned after answering the phone, and he hadn't counted it yet. He Guanchang knew that Jackie Chan might need to discuss such a major matter as changing the court, so he asked Jackie Chan to bring the check back first, and the two sides would talk about it after making up their minds. Jackie Chan brought the check back, and after consulting Chen Ziqiang, the manager of Luo Wei's company, he found out that it was 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

Since then, Jackie Chan has joined Golden Harvest and become its rare Optimus Prime, at this time, the veteran overlord of the Hong Kong film industry, Shaw Brothers Film Company, has been thin, and Golden Harvest Company is like a round of bright sunshine.

Jackie Chan's prestige is also said to be in the sky with Golden Harvest, and Chen Xuanting is of course familiar with him, and he can't be more familiar with him. Because almost every day there is news of him in Hong Kong's gossip weekly. I don't want to know it. As for Jackie Chan and Chen Xuanting, they have only met a few times occasionally, after all, according to the strength of Tianmu and Thunder, there is no way to invite a big name like him. So at this moment, Chen Xuanting is very curious, I don't know what happened when Jackie Chan came to the door? !

Seeing Chen Xuanting looking at him so surprised, Jackie Chan smiled and said, "Director Chen, it's very surprised, right?" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled bitterly and said, "It's really unexpected, Brother Jackie Chan, how did you find here?" ”

"Well, I naturally have my supernatural powers!" Jackie Chan smiled mysteriously and said, "Uh, Director Chen, don't you invite me in and sit?" Although Jackie Chan was asking Chen Xuanting what he said, he didn't wait for Chen Xuanting to answer, so he walked past Chen Xuanting with Luo Quanbu and walked into the hall by himself.

Seeing this, Chen Xuanting couldn't cry or laugh a little, please don't invite this, isn't it the same? Big brother Jackie Chan really has a surname.

After Jackie Chan entered, those little eyes turned very restlessly, and suddenly said: "Director Chen, the place you live in now is not very good, the surrounding environment is too poor, it is easy to have security problems, if no one is at home, even if it is patronized by thieves, it is difficult for others to find out!" Well, the light here is also a little darker, and living in such a house is easy to produce a series of negative emotions such as depression, irritability, depression, etc......"

After Chen Xuanting closed the door and came in, he heard Jackie Chan's remarks, and couldn't help but say: "How can you say so badly, I just moved here not long ago, and I feel pretty good!" ”

"Your requirements are too low!" Jackie Chan walked into the bedroom as he spoke, looked left and right a few times, and suddenly screamed, "This room is too small, there is almost no extra space after placing the desk and bed table, and the light here is worse than in the hall, if you want to see anything, you have to turn on the lights during the day......"

Jackie Chan finished commenting on the bedroom, killed the horse pistol again, and walked to the bathroom, kitchen and other places.

Chen Xuanting was surprised when he heard it, why is this Jackie Chan here today, why is he so interested in his residence?

"Well, this bathroom is not as good as it could be, so-so...... Hey, is this a bathroom or a bathroom? This is not good, at least the bathroom has to be separated by a separate position...... There's the kitchen over there, so let's take a look...... Oh my God, is this still the kitchen? The cement platform is too low, and I'm short enough to make do with it, but if it's you, it's too hard to use, so you can't squat and cook, right? Well, it's very crowded here, and if there are two people standing, you will accidentally bump into ......."

Jackie Chan shook his head vigorously as he spoke, with a sigh on his face.

Chen Xuanting was dumbfounded, a house that he was quite satisfied with was actually degraded to worthless by Jackie Chan's mouth!

Is this Jackie Chan here to visit him, or is he here to buy a house?!

Chen Xuanting made tea, handed his eldest brother Jackie Chan a cup and said, "Brother Long." You're not here to see my house today, are you? ”

"Of course," Jackie Chan said, "where a person lives, the environment in which he works is basically the same, and if he lives well, then he will have the strength to work!" ”

Chen Xuanting shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you said. ”

Jackie Chan was stunned: "Haven't you received the news yet, Yongsheng has announced to the media that he wants to acquire your Thunder Pictures!" ”

"What?" The teacup in Chen Xuanting's hand almost fell to the ground and shattered.

Seeing Chen Xuanting's surprised appearance, Jackie Chan was also stunned, "It looks like you really don't know." ”

Just as the two were talking, the phone at Chen Xuanting's home suddenly rang, the call was from Stephen Chow, he said a word, Yongsheng wants to buy Thunder!

Chen Xuanting put down the phone, feeling melancholy, he said to Jackie Chan: "Now I know! ”

Seeing Chen Xuanting like this, Brother Jackie Chan sighed and said: "Originally, I didn't want to be a lobbyist, but instead of letting you join Yongsheng and be acquired by them, it is better for you to join us Jiahe and work together!" ”

Chen Xuanting finally knew the intention of Jackie Chan's big brother this time, no wonder he and he only had a one-sided relationship with him when Thunder Pictures opened, but he personally visited him, and sure enough, he went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"I'm sorry, whether it's Yongsheng or Golden Harvest, I won't retreat, since Thunder Pictures has been established, it will never be acquired so soon!"

Jackie Chan glanced at Chen Xuanting with a sigh and said, "There are many things in this world that you can't do. ”

Chen Xuanting looked at him proudly and said, "My life is up to me!" If God really wants us to perish, I have nothing to say, if not, I will let people know that as long as I am Chen Xuanting, Thunder Pictures will definitely stand! ”

Jackie Chan sighed and said, "Originally, I thought you were just a young man who was a little lucky, but now, I want to re-examine you, Chen Xuanting!" ”

So here, Jackie Chan took out a business card and handed it to Chen Xuanting and said: "If you really can't hold on, just call me - no matter what, I'm really willing to be friends with you!" ”

"Me too!" Chen Xuanting took the business card.

After Jackie Chan left, Chen Xuanting suddenly felt as if he had been hollowed out, and he paused on the sofa

Hong Kong's "Entertainment Weekly" reported: Recently, Hong Kong film giant Yongsheng invested 300 million yuan to acquire the newly established Thunder Pictures, and Yongsheng President told Mr. Huaqiang that this acquisition is not a bad surname, but completely out of consideration for future development strategies. As the largest investment shareholder of Yongsheng, Ms. Ni Qiuyi said that she will work hard to support Yongsheng's acquisition plan.

Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" reported: Less than a month after the establishment of Thunder Pictures, the two giants of Yongsheng and Golden Harvest have successively proposed acquisition plans, which can not help but let the whole Hong Kong citizens see the charm of Thunder Pictures. Mr. Zou Wenhuai, President of Golden Harvest, said that the acquisition of Thunder Pictures is mainly to diversify in the future development and operate Thunder as a subsidiary. If the acquisition is successful, he will continue to retain the Thunder brand and continue to hire Chen Xuanting and Stephen Chow as shareholders and chief executive officers of the company.

Hong Kong's "Economic Daily" reported: The recent collapse of the Soviet Union has triggered a sharp turmoil in the currency market, and experts predict that the Soviet ruble will depreciate sharply in the next few years, .......

Hong Kong's "Apple Daily" reported: The return to the motherland is approaching, and Hong Kong has set off a new round of immigration. Many wealthy Hong Kong people have emigrated to Canada and Australia, and many items that are inconvenient to carry, such as valuable cultural relics, are immediately auctioned. However, the newly established Thunder Auction House by Mr. Chen Xuanting and Mr. Leslie Cheung is bullish .......

Hong Kong's media have made a series of reports on Hong Kong's entertainment industry, international economy and other aspects.

At this time, Chen Xuanting couldn't stop. His money has been poured into the Soviet ruble, and now is the harvest season, and if he withdraws to maintain Thunder Pictures, he will lose a large amount of profits, even astronomical amounts. This is what he does not want to see. In addition, he has recently invested a large amount of money in Thunder Auction House, and the cash flow has long been stretched. Where is the money to deal with the opportunistic acquisitions of Yongsheng and Golden Harvest?

Now there is only one way - drag! I hope that the other side will not take a too tough attitude. I can borrow money from friends and other connections. If you really can't deal with it, you have to sacrifice this newly established company. After all, this small company is insignificant compared to the huge profits, and as long as it makes a profit in the financial market, it can make a comeback.

Just when Chen Xuanting made up his mind and persevered to the end.

Inside Hong Kong Yongsheng Film Company.

Xiang Huaqiang: "Isn't it too much for us to do this?" ”

Xiang Huasheng: "This is the business society, interests first!" ”

Xiang Huaqiang: "But the acquisition of Thunder is not much benefit for us, after all, it is just a newly established small company!" ”

Xiang Huasheng: "What I value is not the thunder, but the 500 million investment funds promised by Ni Qiuyi!" ”

Xiang Huaqiang: "So don't offend women!" ”

Xiang Huasheng: "Especially this kind of woman who is not very broad-minded!" ”

Xiang Huaqiang: "But will Dong Lingwei agree to her?" ”

Xiang Huasheng: "We signed a contract, and she can't agree if she doesn't want to!" ”

Xiang Huaqiang: "No matter how ruthless a woman is, she is no more than us men!" ”

Xiang Huasheng: "So, men are wolves, and women can only be foxes forever, at most play some cunning tricks!" ”

……… Inside Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company.

Zou Wenhuai: "Ah Long, you see that we are already very sincere in doing this, not only keeping their thunder signboard, but also retaining their positions, so will Chen Xuanting accept it?" ”

Big brother Jackie Chan: "It's hard to say, I've been in contact with that Chen Xuanting." On the surface, this person doesn't care about anything, and he looks very open, but in fact he is stubborn. We can be regarded as taking advantage of the fire to rob this time, and he may not be willing to give in! ”

Zou Wenhuai: "Then find a way to start with his partners Stephen Chow and Ren Dahua——"

Jackie Chan: "What do you mean—"

Zou Wenhuai: "I bought their shares first, and see how long Chen Xuanting can support it!" ”

Jackie Chan: "But will they agree?" ”

Zou Wenhuai: "Find the best lobbyist, Stephen Chow is famous for his love of money, as long as he is given the right price, he will definitely be loosened." As for that Ren Dahua, it is difficult to do. ”

Jackie Chan: "Yes, behind him stands his big guy Ren Darong, and the relationship between Ren Darong and Chen Xuanting is not ordinary-"

Zou Wenhuai paused and said: "The biggest difference between businessmen and politicians is that businessmen value money, and politicians value the future!" ”

Jackie Chan: "So what do we do?" ”

Zou Wenhuai: "Let's explore their bottom first, the only constant in this world is change!" ”

………… Within the four major families, the Dong family.

Dong Lingwei: "Su Ruochen, how do you see this move?" ”

Su Ruochen: "If you force the palace too ruthlessly, it will cause unnecessary trouble!" ”

Dong Lingwei: "Is that Chen Xuanting also troublesome?" Although it has some weight now, you don't dare to fight me, right? ”

Su Ruochen: "The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bit in a hurry!" ”

Dong Lingwei: "Such vulgar words don't seem to be said by an elegant person like you. ”

Su Ruochen: "Although vulgar, it makes sense!" ”

Dong Lingwei: "Does he still have a move?" ”

Su Ruochen: "It is said that Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho are very close to him. ”

Dong Lingwei's phoenix eyes lit up, "That's why we have to defeat him as soon as possible!" ”

Su Ruochen: "I'm afraid that he will move rescue soldiers to the other party!" ”

Dong Lingwei: "Those two old foxes have never seen rabbits and eagles, what qualifications does he Chen Xuanting have to ask them for help?" ”

Su Ruochen: "Maybe there is some ulterior secret between them." ”

Dong Lingwei: "Then what should we do?" ”

Su Ruochen: "Just let it out, if anyone helps Chen Xuanting, it will be an enemy of our Dong family!" ”

Dong Lingwei: "I can't imagine that this ant is so difficult to step on to death!" ”

Su Ruochen: "I'm afraid that if he passes this level, it will be even more difficult to deal with!" ”

Dong Lingwei's eyes shrank, "Then he will never be able to pass this level!" ”

Su Ruochen: "What do you mean-"

Dong Lingwei: "Do you remember the dashing head horse of Helian Sheng, who was abolished by Chen Xuanting?" ”

Su Ruochen: "I understand, I'll go to Lai Decong!" ”

Dong Lingwei: "Those who are wronged will be avenged!" This is the rivers and lakes! ”
