Chapter 55: A farce

"Uhhh

There was a sound of brakes, and two cars, one black and one white, stopped at the door of the set together. Fifteen minutes after Li Xuan finished calling, Zou Wenhuai rushed over.

"Boss Zou!" Li Xuan and the three of them hurriedly greeted the white car.

"Bang!"

Zou Wenhuai, who had just gotten out of the car, closed the car door with a gloomy face, looked at Li Xuan and the three of them and asked, "How long have those people kidnapped Ah Long?" ”

"Less than fifteen minutes......" Li Xuan paused and continued: "Those people look professional, clean and neat, no two ......"

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, a sound of the door closing interrupted Li Xuan's words, Li Xuan inadvertently turned his head to look, but his little heart jumped up. But it was Long Wu in the later movie, and Xiang Huaqiang, one of the current new Ngee An bosses, was walking down from the black car with a few bodyguards.

At this time, Xiang Huaqiang was obviously not the ruthless and fierce Long Wu in "God of Gamblers", but had long hair that was popular nowadays, although he was still wearing a black suit, but he looked more like a young young man.

After stabilizing his mind, Li Xuan continued: "The whole process didn't take two minutes, and the car and people disappeared at once. ”

"Where did the car go?" A sentence suddenly interjected next to him, and it was Xiang Huaqiang who spoke.

Li Xuan also calmed down at this time, pointed to the end of the road and said, "Go to the Rainbow Road." ”

"Rainbow Road?" Xiang Huaqiang thought about it and nodded: "It's going to Yau Jianwang, it's the territory of the 14k Yi word pile, and it is estimated that it was done by Beard Yong!" Brother Huai, your former subordinate thought he had found a good backer, and he was very restless. ”

"Ahem!" Zou Wenhuai coughed embarrassedly, and then said: "I endured it twice, but it was only three." Luo Fatzi is getting more and more excessive, Ah Qiang, you have to help my brother and me! ”

"Help is definitely helping, but ......" Xiang Huaqiang hesitated for a moment and said: "Although the bearded Yong guy said that he was the first in money, the six relatives didn't recognize it." But as long as he receives the money, he is very righteous in doing things, and the relationship in the Tao is also very good. I look at Brother Huai, you still have to solve that Luo Wei first. ”

"Hey!" Zou Wenhuai sighed deeply: "Ah Qiang, you help my brother and me to fish people out first." As for Luo Weina, I will personally go to the door tomorrow and talk to him! ”

"Okay, we'll go find Beard Yong now." Xiang Huaqiang didn't talk nonsense, glanced at Li Xuan and the three of them, turned around and walked back to his car.

Zou Wenhuai also turned around and opened his car door, but remembering that Li Xuan and the three of them were still on the side, half of his body that had just gotten in leaned out and said to Li Xuan: "Mr. Li, thank you this time, please have tea next time." ”

"Thank you in advance, Mr. Zou, let's go." Li Xuan waved his hand: "Ah Long's safety is important!" ”

"Then Mr. Li, goodbye."

Zou Wenhuai said goodbye, closed the car door directly, started the car and followed the black car to Youjianwang.

"Hey......"

Looking at the distant car shadow, Li Xuan let out a long sigh, and he seemed to be directly ignored by Xiang Huaqiang.

However, this is the second time that Li Xuan himself has been so close to the Black Society. The first time was when Applejack was hacked to death in front of him, and the second time was when Chenglong was directly kidnapped in front of him, especially since so long has passed since the kidnapping case, and no one has called the police until now, you can imagine the darkness beneath the bustling surface of this city.

It's better to keep a low profile, although I'm invulnerable.

But......

Li Xuan looked at Zhong Chuhong and Wang Jin next to him, the two of them were normal people who died after being stabbed a few times.

After this incident, Li Xuan originally thought that Chenglong's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" would temporarily stop filming, but he didn't expect that early the next morning, Li Xuan saw Chenglong return to the Golden Harvest set, with a calm face, as if the kidnapping had never happened at all.

After a few days of calm, Li Xuan slowly inquired about some inside stories from the mouths of the Hong family class and others.

It turned out that Luo Wei was doing so many things, in addition to really not being able to swallow this breath, in order to get angry, he also wanted Chenglong to come back and help him make a movie.

However, before Chenglong signed a contract with Golden Harvest, Luo Wei's company was preparing to shoot a "Awakening Fist" - a follow-up work invested and filmed by a master of the trend. The cast has been scheduled, and the director is Chenglong and Zeng Zhiwei, and the actors are Chenglong, Li Lili, Liu Jiayong and others. He asked 14k people to kidnap Jackie Chan and come back, just to make this film.

It's a pity that Luo Wei only knows that 14k people are easy to please, but he doesn't know that people in New Ngee An are not easy to mess with. Just tied Chenglong to the door of the company, and before he could send it in, he was cut off by Zou Wenhuai and others.

After listening to these inside stories, Li Xuan, who thought that everything would be over next, saw a farce that had been promoted for more than three months together with other Hong Kong people.

Things have come to this point, 14k and Xin Yi'an, the two sides are evenly matched, and it will no longer work for Luo Wei to invite the Black Astringent Society again.

If the black one doesn't work, the white one will come!

Luo Wei gritted his teeth, and actually sued Jiahe in court with a complaint, and wanted to go to court with Jiahe. On the grounds that Chenglong signed a contract in Luowei Company, he wanted to compete with Jiahe.

As soon as this news came out, public opinion in Hong Kong was in an uproar.

However, a discerning person can see at a glance that Luo Wei Company has a good show this time. Even Li Xuan, an outsider, knew that Luo Wei was decided, and this Jiahe was an expert in lawsuits.

When Golden Harvest Company was founded, Zou Wenhuai secretly reached an agreement with the filmmaker, planning to jointly shoot "One-Armed Knife vs. Blind Man", hoping to launch the first shot of Golden Harvest's conquest of the film industry. In order to make this very commercial gimmick "China War", Zou Wenhuai not only pried away Wang Yu, the top actor of Shaw Brothers who starred in "One-armed Knife", but also avoided the prohibition and arranged "One-armed Knife vs. Blind Man" to be filmed in Taiwan Bay.

However, Zou Wenhuai thought he was doing it secretly, but he was learned by Shao Yifu soon after, which immediately caused a sensational dispute in the film industry that year.

You must know that "One-Armed Knife" is not only the first blockbuster film in Hong Kong to break one million at the box office, but also the golden lacquer signature of Shaw Brothers. In 1969, Wang Yu performed "The One-Armed Knife King" again, which was also a big hit at the box office and was widely popular. And now Zou Wenhuai abducted Wang Yu in one fell swoop, and blatantly used the story theme of "One-armed Knife" to make a transnational film, it's no wonder that Shao Yifu is not angry!

So, when "The Blind Man vs. the One-Armed Knife" was released, Shao Yifu personally stepped out and directly scolded Golden Harvest for copyright infringement. Zou Wenhuai responded calmly, arguing on the grounds that he and Wang Yu had also participated in the creation and production of "One-armed Knife".

This copyright dispute even went to court in the end, and the two even went to court in person, turned their faces on the spot, and spent millions of lawyer fees for this, until the end of the film's screening, the lawsuit was not over, but the lawyers of both sides made a lot of money.

In the end, the lawsuit dragged on for several years, and Golden Harvest has grown from a small seedling to a big tree, making a lot of money in the film market, and is no longer afraid of compensation. In the end, the lawsuit ended with thunder and rain, and it was over.

However, in this way, the fire and water between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have become a success, and the decades-long battle that has had a far-reaching impact on the Hong Kong film industry has officially kicked off......

And now Luo Wei's contract may be able to scare others, but it can't scare Golden Harvest. At this time, Jiahe has both money and strength, so he will not take such a small company as Luo Wei in his eyes.

As a result, Jiahe and Luo Wei's company opened a lawsuit hard, and in the end, Luo Wei was defeated by the wealthy Jiahe. The lawsuit came and went, and there was a lively fight, but Chenglong still returned to Jiahe. Of course, Golden Harvest also made some concessions, it lost money to Luo Wai Company on behalf of Chenglong, and promised Chenglong to make another movie for Luo Wai. Only then did the problem finally be resolved, and public opinion in Hong Kong had calmed down.

As for Chenglong's "Awakening Fist", Li Xuan never saw it again, and he didn't know whether Chenglong filmed it or not, or if he did, it was hidden by Luo Wei's company.

However, such a farce brought an unexpected benefit to Li Xuan later. Of course, that's another story.
