The most sensational event in Hong Kong in October was the sudden announcement by Zou Wenhuai, who was far away in Hollywood, that he would invest $60 million to shoot six major international films.

Just when filmmakers all over Hong Kong were impressed by Zou Wenhuai's generosity, Li Xuan found Cai Yongchang with the finished film of "The King of a Thousand Kings". After half a month of urgent production, Wang Jin finally completed the post-production of the film in late October.

Without Zou Wenhuai, Cai Yongchang would not be polite to Li Xuan, and directly arranged the movie to be released at the end of November. When arranging the film, Li Xuan paid attention to it, Hong Jingbao's "Ghost Fight", which had been a film for a long time, was scheduled for November 9.

And the Christmas file that Li Xuan paid the most attention to was given priority to a movie that was being filmed. "Lin Shirong" is directed by Golden Harvest Investment, directed by Yuan Heping, and starring Hong Jingbao. Obviously, Golden Harvest's ambition is not small, after Yuan Heping's "Drunken Fist" and "Serpentine Trickster" became popular with Chenglong last year, Golden Harvest aimed at Hong Jingbao again, intending to make Hong Jingbao's reputation rise to a higher level.

As for why Golden Harvest Cinemas didn't directly release "Ghost Fighting" in the Christmas file, it was because "Ghost Fighting" was filmed solely by Hong Jingbao's own film company Baoxiang.

Reading Power Film Company's movies want to be released in Golden Harvest's Christmas and New Year's files, which is still a bit possible five years ago. At that time, Li Xiaolong had just passed away, and the Xu brothers had not yet joined Golden Harvest, and Golden Harvest did not have any movies that could be used. But now, Golden Harvest is full of talents, so it will not send the two most profitable prime times to other Reading Film Company.

Li Xuan has no opinion on this, after all, there is nothing wrong with wanting his family to make money. Unless Li Xuan wants to hand over part of his company's equity, or accept some film investment from Golden Harvest. However, Li Xuan didn't want to do this. Making movies is more of an interest for him now, and he doesn't want to have a big boss on his head out of thin air.

Under Li Xuan's intimidation, Liu Xiwei also completed the task assigned to him by Li Xuan, and finally rushed to two-thirds of the filming progress within half a month, which made Li Xuan feel a lot more at ease.

Windsor House, located at 311 Gloucester Road in Causeway Bay, is a commercial building that has just been completed less than a month ago. The brand-new hallway rooms and many vacant properties can just be used as the set for the headquarters building of the villain Tsukamoto in "The King of Killers". Moreover, Causeway Bay is the territory of New Ngee An, and it is also very convenient to film here, and even the protection fee is saved, who dares to collect the protection fee from the big guy?

At 9 o'clock in the morning on October 27, 1979, the opening ceremony of "The King of Killers" was held at the entrance of Victoria Park in front of Windsor Building.

Li Xuan and Wang Jin were standing in the crowd talking to the two Xiang brothers. As for Zhong Chuhong, he was pulled aside by Xiang Huaqiang's wife Ding Pei, and muttered something with Wen Yu'er, the actor of the villain female thug in the play, and there was a burst of chuckle from time to time.

Here Li Xuan saw Ding Pei for the first time in reality, with short hair and a delicate face, worthy of being a beauty who fascinated Li Xiaolong and then Xiang Huaqiang. However, she rarely acted in movies at this time, and now appears here as the executive producer of "The King of Killers".

As for Wen Yu'er, some people may not be familiar with it. But her sister, hearing the name Li Xuan, is like thunder, it is the actor Yuan Qi of the charter wife in "Kung Fu", and Wen Yu'er's kung fu is all handmade by her sister. However, unlike her sister's unattractive appearance, Wen Yan'er is very beautiful. Now in addition to acting in movies at Shaw Brothers, she is also the leading Hua Dan of Lishi, and at the beginning of the year, she also co-starred with Zhang Guorong in "Huanhua Washing Sword Record".

This time, Xiang Huaqiang looked for an actress who knew kung fu, and by the way, he borrowed her and Yuan Hua from the Shaw Brothers.

However, what amazed Li Xuan even more was the bunch of leading actors and tricks who participated in the opening ceremony this time.

At a glance, more than 30 creators and actors are all wearing black suits, black pants and black leather shoes, both Asian and European. If it weren't for the incense table and the camera in front of him telling others that they were filming, someone would definitely call the police and say that the black and astringent would be partying.

In this way, there was still a circle of people around, especially in the crowd, there were many green-clothed policemen pointing at this side.

"Brother Qiang, Brother Sheng, you talk, I'll go get to know other actors!" Li Xuan looked at Yuan Hua not far away and said to the two Xiang brothers.

Xiang Huaqiang, who was surnamed Zhengnong, was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Xuan and said with a smile: "Go, go, let's go, a few of them asked me who Li Xuan was when I asked them to act." ”

"Hehe, it's still a small name!"

Li Xuan laughed to himself, turned around and walked towards Yuan Hua.

At this time, Yuan Hua was talking to Zeng Zhiwei, the two of them were both dragon and tiger martial artists before, and they were also familiar with each other. Yuan Hua has already painted her makeup, wearing a close-fitting black suit, her long hair is neatly combed back with hairspray, and with that vicious long face, she is a big villain.

"Ah Hua!" Li Xuan said hello from a distance.

Yuan Hua turned his head to look at it and hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Li." ”

"Hey, why are you so raw, just call me Brother Xuan, I'm very familiar with your Yuan family." Li Xuantao said with an almost smile.

"Hey, Brother Xuan!" Yuan Hua was not ambiguous, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded, looked at Zeng Zhiwei on the side and said, "This is Brother Zeng, look up for a long time." ”

"Haha, ...... Li, Brother Xuan, I should have admired you for a long time, how can I compare to this street fighter." Zeng Zhiwei complimented and replied.

"Haha, batch each other." Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders, looked at Yuan Hua again and asked, "Ah Hua, I heard Dong Wei say that you are the best kung fu in the Yuan family's class, have you ever thought of coming out to make a movie like Sanmao and them?" My company is newly opened, and I really need people like you. ”

"Uh......" Yuan Hua was stunned, he didn't expect Li Xuan to ask this question.

Why doesn't Yuan Hua want to come out to make a movie? I think what kind of scenery he and Hong Jingbao and his group were when he was filming with Li Xiaolong as a martial artist, and even Li Xiaolong said that he would take them into Hollywood. But the words were still gone, and their entire martial arts team was scattered......

In the end, Hong Jingbao took a group of people to Jiahe, he saw that there were too many people with Hong Jingbao, and his appearance was not outstanding, so he went to Shaw Brothers silently. After Shaw Brothers has been an anonymous supporting actor and martial arts finger for nearly five years, when he thought he was about to get moldy, he didn't expect that someone would come to him to play a movie, and he was still a villain with lines and roles.

And listening to the meaning of Li Xuan's words just now, entering the company is definitely not a trick. Yuan Hua hesitated, his five-year contract with Shaw Brothers was about to expire, should he come out and break in?

"Ah Hua, in fact, I already have the script for the next movie, and I think you are very suitable for a role in it." Seeing that Yuan Hua began to waver, Li Xuan dropped another sugar-coated cannonball.

But this sentence is not empty words, Li Xuan thought of another classic killer movie "Black Man" before thinking of the movie "King of Killers". It's a pity that because he likes this movie so much, Li Xuan is reluctant to give it to others, and he is ready to use it to make his first real director's movie.

Besides, although Xiang Huaqiang knows kung fu, it is a pity that he doesn't have that kind of sharp feeling when he fights, and his skills are not as good as Li Yutian, the master who has been following him. That guy is a Muay Thai master, otherwise why should he control a big gang of saffron sticks. Fortunately, there are not many fight scenes in "The King of Killers" and they are simple, otherwise I don't know what it would have been filmed.

"Brother Xuan, can you give me some time to think about it?" Yuan Hua replied cowardly.

Li Xuan didn't plan to do it all at once, nodded and said, "Yes, but it's better to hurry." ”

"Haha, what else are you thinking about? I don't know if every one of Brother Xuan's movies has been a big hit. Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile on the side.

Li Xuan smiled helplessly, looked at Zeng Zhiwei and said, "Then Brother Zeng wants to come over too?" ”

"Forehead......" Zeng Zhiwei didn't expect to be burned, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, Boss Luo is good to me." ”

"Well, then I won't force it." Li Xuan nodded regretfully.

Zeng Zhiwei now wants to be a director, Luo Wei is also very supportive of him, and has made several films in a row, of course he doesn't want to leave now. As for the identity of this actor, he didn't ask Hua Qiang, he hadn't thought about being an actor yet.

Now that we have finished talking about business, Li Xuan will not stay. Looking at Ren Dahua who was alone in the distance, Li Xuan said to Yuan Hua and the two: "Those two go on, I'll go meet Ren Dahua over there." ”

Li Xuan, this is indeed an addiction to digging people! (To be continued.) )
