On January 25, 1981, the Jade Theatre was brightly lit at Jade Pearl Square, Paterson Street, Causeway Bay.

The Jade Theatre is one of the leading cinemas of the Shaw Brothers, and next to the Jade Cinema, there is another leading cinema of the Shaw Brothers, which is the Pearl Cinema in the Jade Pearl. And these two theaters are known by the name as Shaw Brothers' industry, because the two flagship channels of TVB are called Jade Channel and Pearl Channel.

At this time, it was close to seven o'clock in the evening, and the premiere of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was about to start, except for two or three reporters waiting at the gate of the theater waiting for the rest of the gods to visit, others had already entered the theater and waited for the premiere to begin.

Li Xuan also took great pains for this premiere, not only distributing premiere invitations all over Hong Kong, but even overseas reporters can get an invitation for free as long as they rely on their press cards and expatriate letters. As a result, in just three days, the four hundred invitations in Li Xuan's hand were all delivered. As for the remaining nearly 1,000 tickets, they were sold by Li Xuan at a high price of 50 Hong Kong dollars each. He still has to spend money to rent the Shaw Brothers' leading theater, so how can he not make some money back?

But then he knew that he was still selling low, and he heard that the tickets for the premiere of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" had been speculated by those scalpers to a sky-high price of 400 Hong Kong dollars, and they were still in short supply.

As for the ordinary audience who bought tickets at a sky-high price, sitting in the theater at this time is also worth the trip. If this is in normal times, how can it be so easy to see so many stars - Hong Jingbao , Di Long , Zhou Runfa , Chen Yulian , Yuan Dart , Lin Zhengying , Xiao Shushu , Guo Yi , Luo Python , Guan Jiahui , Wu Ma , Yuan Hua , Zeng Zhiwei , Miao Qian Ren , Mi Yu , Zhang Guorong ......

What kind of movie premiere is this, it's obviously Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Wireless and Lishi having a party together! However, everyone was not interested in the fact that Golden Harvest's strong general, Chenglong, who had just returned to Hong Kong, did not appear at the premiere.

Moreover, where are the stars of this movie?

In addition to these stars, Li Xuan also invited many directors and familiar producers. For example, Du Qifeng, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, Liu Qiwei, Xu Anhua, Xiang Huaqiang, Xiang Huasheng, Gui Zhihong, Chu Yuan and Cheng Gang, etc., as for Zhang Ce, he refused because he was too old to stay up late, and the other remaining directors of Shaw Brothers simply did not respond.

Li Xuan didn't care about it, and gave away these vacant positions with a change of hands. There are a lot of people playing movies in Hong Kong, are you afraid that you won't find a few people to cheer for the show?

"Yusen, Master Zhang should have watched the test film of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", what did he say?" Xu Ke looked at Wu Yusen, who was sitting on his left, and asked.

Xu Ke didn't come alone this time, his girlfriend Shi Nansheng was sitting on his right. And Shi Nansheng is much more competitive than her boyfriend, Xu Ke is still moving forward on the road to the street at this time, but she is already the administrative director of Lishi.

Hearing Xu Ke's question, Wu Yusen had to smile bitterly and say two words: "Very good." ”

"Good?"

"yes!" Wu Yusen nodded, and said helplessly: "He just said the word 'very good', and he refused to say anything else." ”

"Haha." Xu Anhua, who was sitting in the front seat, laughed, turned around and said to a few people: "Ah Xuan is still very good at making movies, since Director Zhang said so, it must be a good movie." However, I guess this movie shouldn't be very much in line with Director Zhang's heart. ”

"It's still Anwar who is powerful, not to mention." Wu Yusen shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "I heard that halfway through the filming of this film, my master left with his burden. ”

"Huh?"

The few people beside Wu Yusen were all shocked, obviously not expecting that a random question could lead to such a big gossip. The assistant director of a drama ran away halfway, how much disagreement with the director is!

"Okay, you just know about it, don't spread the word!" Wu Yusen hurriedly looked at a few people and admonished. If this matter spreads, it will not be a good thing for either Zhang Ce or Li Xuan.

"Hmm!" Xu Ke and the others hurriedly nodded in response.

"That's right, Lao Xu." Seeing that everyone agreed, Wu Yusen turned his head to look at Xu Ke and said, "Princess Jin's Xinyicheng Company lacks a director, and Mai Jia is looking for talents everywhere, so I recommended you to him." Well, would you like to meet? ”

As soon as Wu Yusen's words came out, Tsui Hark was stunned, and only after half a sound did he cowardly reply: "But ......"

In fact, this is not the first time Wu Yusen has recommended Xu Ke to others. As early as two months ago, Wu Yusen recommended him to Zou Wenhuai.

It's a pity that Xu Ke is still sticking to his unique New Wave path, and the three movies he made are all extreme in theme, which makes the investment company lose a mess. So when Wu Yusen patted his chest and assured Zou Wenhuai that Xu Ke would make a movie that was popular and popular, Zou Wenhuai only looked at the bills for Xu Ke's three movies and refused directly.

There are many talents under Golden Harvest, so they are naturally unwilling to work hard for such a street-fighting director. But Xinyicheng is different, they don't have a regular director there, as long as Xu Ke goes to Xinyicheng, he will definitely take action. And next, it depends on how Xu Ke's head cannon will fight......

However, Xu Ke was still entangled, but Shi Nansheng answered for him on the side, she looked directly at Wu Yusen and asked, "Yusen, when and where will we meet?" ”

“……”

Wu Yusen glanced at Xu Ke, who was silent, then turned his head to look at Shi Nansheng and said, "If you agree, then we will meet at the Peninsula Hotel at two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow." ”

"We agreed!" Shi Nansheng was quick to speak for Xu Ke.

Wu Yusen nodded, looked at Shi Nansheng and said with a smile: "Then I'll call Mai Jia back when I go back in the evening, but I didn't expect that Nansheng would still be the master at your family......"

"Sir Shao is here!"

"Wow, Sir Shao and Boss Zou came in together."

"Click, click—"

"Ah, Shaw and Jiahe, no, no, there is also Princess Jin!"

"Boss Lei is also here in person......"

"Click-"

"The three bigwigs of the Hong Kong film industry are gathered!"

"It's not just the three, Anle's Boss Jiang came very early."

"Really?"

"Click-"

“……”

Before Wu Yusen's words were finished, there was a commotion at the scene, and many reporters violated the agreement to prohibit taking pictures, took out their cameras and took a burst of shots, so much so that the on-site staff hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"This Brother Xuan, there is really a way, the three big guys are here." Yuan Dart, who had short hair, stood up, looked at Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and Li Xuan who were walking in from the gate through the crowd and sighed.

Since the filming of "Black Man" became a big hit, Yuan Dart felt that his short hair was much more handsome than his previous long hair, so he kept this hairstyle. And in the past few months, he has also received one or two follow-up films of "Black Man", but unfortunately the box office has never reached the height of "Black Man", and it can even be said that it is a bit of a hit, after all, the beauty of the movie lens and professional martial arts instructors are not just to follow the trend.

Knowing that "Black Man" still has a sequel plan, Yuan Dart loves and hates Li Xuan at the moment, aren't you in a hurry to make a sequel to such a good movie? Especially the starring role!

"That's someone else's ability, you can't learn it, silly boy, so sit down!" Hong Jingbao, who had been sitting, glanced at Yuan Dart and said quietly.

"Hehe...... " Yuan Dart laughed awkwardly, sat down and continued: "I really want to know what Brother Xuan made in this film to make such a big move." ”

Hong Jingbao glanced at his junior brother and said lightly: "You better take care of yourself first, I plan to start filming the second part of "Zombie Dao Chief" after the New Year, and I will arrange a role for you by the way." ”

“……”

This time for Christmas, "People Scare Ghosts" starring Hong Jingbao got a box office of 6.01 million. Although this figure is not half of the results of some films, it is good in a series of films shot by Hong Kyung-bo. In particular, this result has a box office of more than 2 million more than last year's comedy kung fu film "Lin Shirong", which also starred him in the Christmas file, which made Hong Jingbao more determined to continue to take the route of psychedelic kung fu films.

The theater also quieted down as the three theater bigwigs took their seats, and the start time of the premiere came.

Suddenly, it was dark in the theater, but all the lights were dimmed. Just when everyone was curious about how the next premiere would go, two lights shone straight down from directly above the stage.

"Wow, look, it's Xu Xijie and Hui Yinghong!"

"They are still wearing ancient costumes, strange, can Xu Xijie play the guzheng?"

"What is Hui Yinghong doing with a sword?"

"Stupid, one plays the piano and one dances the sword, I can't see it."

"Hey, really."

“……”

In the beam on the right side of the stage, Xu Guanjie is sitting on the ground in a Huashan suit from the movie, and there is a guzheng in front of him. But this guzheng is just a prop, just wait for Xu Yijie to do it casually, and the soundtrack can be done directly with the accompaniment tape. In the beam on the left, Hui Yinghong was wearing a white knight's suit with a simple bunch of hair, and was holding a sword with her back to the audience, her straight body looked chivalrous.

Suddenly, a light and upbeat prelude music sounded, and the two people on the stage also moved!

"The sea laughs, the tide on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs with the waves, only remember the present day; The sky is smiling, the tide is in the world, who loses and who wins, God knows; The rivers and mountains are smiling, the smoke and rain are far away, and the waves are full of red ......"

As soon as Xu Xijie's tender version of "A Laugh in the Sea" came out, it caused silence in the theater. Many viewers who heard this song for the first time were attracted by the artistic conception of this song in an instant, and they didn't know where they were, but they seemed to see a strange man smiling proudly in that lonely place.

And the sword dance performed by Hui Yinghong, choreographed by Cheng Xiaodong on the side, also seemed to dissolve with this song, becoming a white butterfly around the man's body, if it was separated and seemed to be looming.

Vaguely, everyone only felt that the butterfly was missing, and the man had no peerless sense of smiling and proud; Without that song, the white butterfly can only fly lonely in the mountains and flowers.

“…… The rivers and mountains are smiling, the smoke and rain are far away, and the waves are all over the world; The breeze smiled, but it was lonely, and there was still a night photo left of pride; The people are laughing, no longer lonely, and the pride is still smiling and laughing! Lalala......"

As if the vicissitudes of life had passed, the ethereal singing and obsessive sword dance in everyone's minds were gradually moving away, and the lights on the stage gradually dimmed.

Everything returns to the primordial and dark. (To be continued.) )
