Chapter 46: A Strange Fire
A cordon has been set up on the road where sewage flows. On the periphery of the cordon, there were a group of Golden Harvest bigwigs and employees, and Li Xuan also stood behind this group of people and looked into the Golden Harvest building.
The fire was extinguished before it reached the second floor, and firefighters and police officers walked around the already blackened house from time to time. Li Xuan's nose sniffed, and after the fire, there was a strong smell of burning in the air.
Moreover, the burnt smell is mixed with a pungent smell of gasoline.
Li Xuan smacked his tongue, this fire is not simple! Didn't you see that Zou Wenhuai's face was already dark?
"Mr. Zou!" A policeman in green walked over: "Can I ask you a few questions?" ”
"Officer, just ask."
"Have you been in a relationship with anyone lately?"
After hearing this, Zou Wenhuai raised his right hand and pointed to the Jiahe Building in front of him and said, "My company is so big, it may be enmity with people at any time." ”
"Uh......" The policeman was obviously stunned by this answer for a moment, and only after half a sound did he react and continue to ask: "Then do you have any main suspicions?" ”
Zou Wenhuai paused, thought for a moment and said, "No ......"
"Then thank you, Mr. Zou, for your cooperation." Obviously feeling Zou Wenhuai's perfunctory attitude, the police didn't bother to ask, and turned around and walked directly towards the other witnesses next to him.
Zou Wenhuai lost the interest in talking, and looked at the building in front of him with a gloomy face.
"Wen Huai......, are you okay?" A slender woman in her forties walked up to Zou Wenhuai and asked.
Zou Wenhuai shook his head: "It's okay." ”
"Did he find someone to do it?"
"I don't know! But ......" Zou Wenhuai frowned and said: "This time I only set fire on the first floor, it seems that I want to warn me, anyway, you should be careful recently." ”
"Hmm!" The woman nodded.
The first time Li Xuan saw this woman with long hair and shawl in the back, he knew that he had met another major shareholder of Golden Harvest, the legendary gold medal producer - Liu Lianghua.
Speaking of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, not only in the film industry, but also in the two big bosses, they are also fighting on confidantes. Shao Yifu has Fang Yihua, Zou Wen is pregnant with Liu Lianghua, it is the "Shuanghua" that competes for glory, and the moon is not seen.
In other words, Liu Lianghua is not an ordinary person, her father used to be the quartermaster of the 19th Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War, her uncle was the chief inspector of the Chinese in Hong Kong, and an uncle was the mayor of Lanjing, and her brother-in-law was one of the founders of the Hong Kong newspaper "Cheng Pao", and her father doted on her and gave her more than a dozen Hong Kong properties.
Miss Liu Lianghua took such a rich family property and devoted herself to the film industry as an actress, often playing some spicy villain female roles, who are beautiful and have a good figure, and are called "little meat and bullets" by people in the rivers and lakes. For example, in Shaw Brothers' 1967 "Journey to the West: Pansi Cave", she played the golden spider in it, and the long legs of the seven spider spirits in it made people swallow their saliva.
Later, she became the second wife of the great director Luo Wei. When Golden Harvest was established, it also became one of the major shareholders of Golden Harvest. Now, she is one of the senior managers of Golden Harvest.
Liu Lianghua is a very capable woman, Jiahe sent her to the United States to recruit the "martial arts actress" Zheng Peipei, but Zheng Peipei had no plans to make a comeback. That's when it happened. She heard that Li Xiaolong wanted to go back to Hong Kong to film, and she was hesitating between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, so she killed him by the way, handed over a price three times higher than that of Shaw Brothers, and packed Li Xiaolong back to Hong Kong.
It's a pity that her husband Luo Wei has a good eye for people, but his directing level is limited, and the movies he makes are all follow-up works, so he was suppressed by Zhang Ce in Shaw Brothers. went to Jiahe, after Li Xiaolong died, Xu Yiwen suddenly rose up again, but still suppressed him. Soon his second wife Liu Lianghua divorced him and became the confidant of Jiahe boss Zou Wenhuai.
Luo Wei was so angry that he simply formed his own Luo Wai Film Company, signed Chenglong, who was originally going to go to Australia to be a chef, and filmed "New Jingwumen" first, wanting to follow Li Xiaolong's classic to a new high, but the box office failed miserably. re-filmed "Shaolin Woodman Alley", followed the most popular Shaolin kung fu film at that time, but it was still a fiasco. filmed "Sword Flower Fireworks and Rain Jiangnan" for the third time, and followed the most popular Gurung martial arts movies, all of which ended in failure.
And now, Chenglong has just become popular, and Jiahe has dug people up in Luo Wei's hands. Li Xuan touched his chin, could it be that this fire was made by that guy looking for someone?
In fact, the grievances between Luo Wei and Jiahe are not limited to these, and the later kung fu emperor Li Lianjie went to the United States to develop. Luo Wei has won a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn over! Li Lianjie left the mainland for the United States for his first drama contract, which he caught. As a result, when filming "Dragon in the World", Luo Wei's son Luo Dawei became Li Lianjie's agent.
But Luo Wei didn't expect that this son Luo Dawei was a two-five boy, and directly sent Li Lianjie to his stepmother Liu Lianghua. As a result, people were robbed by Golden Harvest again, and the sensational "Huang Feihong" series was filmed, but the "Dragon in the World" was mediocre at the box office.
How unworthy of this Luowei's eight characters and Jiahe is, it was rushed like this.
During this time, the gossip in Hong Kong was destined to revolve around the fire in the Golden Harvest Building, and there were all kinds of speculations. What gangsters seek revenge, what blocks people's money, what love killings, gossip is flying all over the sky. Even Qin Xianglin's huge scandal in the face of the media openly admitting that she was pursuing Teresa Teng was squeezed into the corner of the newspaper by these speculations.
Qin Xianglin pursues Deng Lijun? Li Xuan touched the back of his head, he couldn't understand, he didn't understand. The first Lin and the second Qin of later generations made such a vigorous noise, and they knew a little vaguely. But only in this era do you know that there is more gossip here.
"Xuan Zai, how about reading my script?" Wang Fatzi, who had just come to the door, said, and handed over the script.
Li Xuan folded the newspaper in his hand and took the script. This guy has been working hard for more than a week for this script, and now it has finally come to fruition. Don't think that writing a movie script for a week is fast, just like the masterpiece "Crazy Robbery" by New Wave, the script was written by Xu Anhua and her friend in a day, and it was so fast.
Li Xuan looked at this script, which was different from many details in later generations.
When Zhu went to grasp the big intestine, it was no longer a problem with his fingers, but a problem with the open toe hole on the shoe. Zhu's big intestine and childhood sweetheart's girlfriend is no longer the female intent in the original book, but the love is hot, embarrassed for ......, bah! Li Xuan glared at Wang Fatzi, which was in line with Wang Jin's surname. But anyway, this childhood sweetheart is almost a vase character, so it doesn't matter if you change it like this. The ending has been changed for the better, and the happy ending is not like the tragedy of Zhu's intestine having a child in the original book, Li Xuan has always felt deep pain when he watched this movie in later generations.
However, Li Xuan frowned when he looked at the script.
"What's wrong?" Wang Jin asked worriedly on the side.
"Why do you have to stand on the ground and fight when Zhu's intestine and ghost fight?"
Now Wang Jinqi said: "I didn't stand on the ground, didn't I still climb the ladder?" ”
Li Xuan rubbed his forehead: "The key is that you ghost can climb the ladder no matter what, the ghost should float away." ”
"Gone with the wind? Aren't ghosts always on the go? ”
"The ghost stories can float, why do you use them in the movie." Li Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly.
This is the most painful part of this era, and the ghosts basically don't fly. Recently, Li Xuan has been watching these old movies, just like the "Journey to the West: Pansi Cave" mentioned above, a spider spirit turned Zhu Bajie into a little pig and took it away. Senior brother Sun Wukong and this spider spirit actually chased me on the ground for a long time, and there was not a single shot of hanging Weiya. That foot power, Li Xuan deeply admired.
"Floating......"
"Don't be embarrassed, hang a Weiya and it's over."
"Yes." Wang Jin nodded: "What about the rest of the script?" ”
"Not bad......" Li Xuan gave a comment and got up from the sofa: "Let's go, let's go out." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Baoxiang!"
