After 1949, many filmmakers from Shanghai emigrated to Hong Kong and established the Great Wall Productions, Phoenix Pictures, and Xinlian Pictures. And in 1981, in order to shoot "Shaolin Temple", the leftists established a Central Plains Film Production Company.

So, now there are four leftist film companies in Hong Kong.

At this time, Hong Kong also had four major Chinese cinema lines - Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess Cinema Line and Shuangnan Cinema Line, of which Shuangnan Line belonged to leftist cinema lines, showing films based on the Great Wall, Phoenix, Xinlian, and Central Plains, as well as acting Chinese mainland films and Soviet films.

In September 1982, Changfeng Lian and four leftist film companies including Zhongyuan merged to form Yindu Organization Co., Ltd., a state-owned film enterprise owned by the mainland government, and its Shuangnan Cinema Line was officially renamed Yindu Cinema Line.

Li Xuan knows the future direction of Hong Kong, and naturally knows what kind of behemoth the silver capital will be in the future, but unfortunately it is only 1982......

So this time Li Xuan went to the United States, in addition to the opening ceremony of "Police Story" to be held in San Francisco, the more important reason was that he wanted to avoid the opening ceremony of Yindu like Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai.

Of course, there is another reason - Paul? Allen had cancer: Hodgkin lymphoma.

But wait for Li Xuan to meet Paul at Microsoft headquarters? Allen, but found that he had not changed much, he still ate and slept well, and lived a comfortable life, and he couldn't see a person with cancer at all.

"Alan, your body ......" In a coffee shop on the side of the road, Li Xuan put down the coffee in his hand and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, Xuan, don't worry." Paul? Alan waved his hand absently and replied, "It's just the early stage, the doctor said that there is a good chance of recovery." ”

"That's good!" Li Xuan nodded and replied, "Allen, Microsoft can't do without you." ”

Alan smiled bitterly and replied, "Not necessarily. By the way, I heard that your film is going to premiere in San Francisco? ”

"Ha, yes." Li Xuan smiled: "No, I invited you to the movie premiere according to the previous agreement, but I don't know if you have time." ”

Bill? Gates laughed on the side: "Balmer and I definitely have time, but I just don't know if Allen has time?" ”

“……”

Li Xuan looked at Paul suspiciously? Alan, didn't you just say that it was an early stage of cancer? You can't travel so soon, right?

"Hey, hey—" Paul? Alan chuckled and asked, "Xuan, can I bring my girlfriend to participate?" ”

“……”

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with some curiosity: "Of course you can." ”

In the city of San Francisco, Li Xuan invited Lin Qingxia to shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu" once, but unfortunately those did not have much communication with the Chinese in San Francisco. But this time it's different.

The company that helped Golden Harvest distribute "Police Story" in the United States this time is Warner Bros., which later became famous and helped Hong Kong distribute many films in North America, such as Golden Harvest's "Enter the Dragon" and "Killer Trench", as well as "Earth Catastrophe" and the just-released "Blade Runner" invested by Shaw Brothers.

Jiahe was able to get on the line of Warner Brothers this time, but Zou Wenhuai paid attention to it, and he also sent Jiahe's second-in-command He Yichang to the main formation.

As for why Warner held the premiere of "Police Story" in San Francisco instead of Los Angeles, it was because San Francisco has the largest Chinatown in the United States. Generally, Chinese films are held here to hold their premieres, which can cause a greater sensation than in other places.

However, it was not only Warner employees who received Li Xuan and his entourage, but also an administrative director of the American Self-Help Service for the Elderly.

Self-Help for the Elderly is a large charity in California that originated from the U.S. federal government's "War on Poverty" program. Founded in 1966, the agency has grown over the past 16 years to include multiple locations in four counties: San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda and Santa Clara. Its philanthropic projects also include providing food, job and vocational skills training, health care, affordable housing and other areas for the elderly and adults in the community.

The Self-Help Centre for the Elderly mainly helps immigrants and the elderly who are not familiar with their lives, and provides them with as comprehensive help as possible. Therefore, the Self-help Service for the Elderly has a huge influence among Chinese immigrants, and there are also many donors overseas, such as Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai and He Yichang in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

This premiere of "Police Story". It was a charity premiere of Warner's partnership with Self-Help for the Elderly.

September 8, 1982, San Francisco City Big Star Theater.

San Francisco's Big Star Cinema is not a private theater chain in the United States, but a property owned by the San Francisco City Government, and charity premieres like "Police Story" certainly have to do with the government.

So this night, the San Francisco City Star Theater was suddenly dressed up in a new way, and there was a festive atmosphere, and the San Francisco city government officials and dignitaries attended the premiere ceremony. Among them were members of the U.S. Congress, the California State legislature, the mayor of San Francisco, city officials and overseas Chinese leaders, local celebrities, and even the San Francisco police department sent a dozen senior police officers to watch the movie.

But these people will definitely have some blood at night. After all, it's a charity screening.

The U.S. premiere of "Police Story" is different from the entertainment premiere in Hong Kong, and once the entertainment is related to politics, the atmosphere will definitely be much more solemn.

The main creators of the crew answered a few questions with a smile on the stage, including a slam praise for the United States and San Francisco. Then the most important interview part of the premiere is completed.

Finally, the creators stepped down, followed by a speech by the San Francisco municipal government.

“…… We can't deny that movies sublimate the friendship between human beings, and movies can allow us to see another life, to understand and think about others. Mayor Fernans of San Francisco was standing on the stage and talking: "Chinese movies can make us understand the Orient better, understand that country, and increase our friendship and cognition." Ten years ago, Li Xiaodong took us to know the East; Ten years later, Jackie, the new generation of kung fu kid, makes us ......"

"Oh, Xuan, when exactly does the movie start?" Paul? Alan sat in the audience and muttered impatiently.

"I don't know." Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders, looked at Fetans on the stage and whispered: "I thought that only the leaders of us Chinese had a long talk when we were in a meeting, but I didn't expect you Americans to do the same." ”

At this time Paul? Ellen's new girlfriend Jerry? Hall interjected next to him: "It's no different, politicians all over the world are the same. ”

"Well, that's true." Li Xuan sighed.

“…… Jackie, a kung fu kid, makes our friendship last forever, and in order to better strengthen our friendship, I am here to declare ...... on behalf of all the peace-loving people of San Francisco" Mayor Fernans paused, and then said loudly: "I declare that September 8 will be designated as Chenglong Day in San Francisco every year!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang-"

As soon as Mayor Fetans finished speaking, there was a thunderous applause from under the stage, and Chenglong, a muddy boy, immediately ran onto the stage and happily received the commemorative bronze medal and medal from Fetans.

This is not the first time Chenglong has won this 'Jackie Chan Day', after the release of "Cannonball Speed" in Los Angeles, he also won a Los Angeles 'Jackie Chan Day', and the timing is also very coincidental, these two 'Chenglong Day' are in September.

Look at how many people are in the U.S. government, 365 days a year, plus so many cities, how many foreign friends can be attracted one by one!

After all this commotion, the movie finally began.

I only read the beginning, and Paul was skeptical of Li Xuan's "Police Story" at the beginning? Allen and the others immediately shouted in surprise at the plot of the movie, and the audience was in an uproar.

In their stunned eyes, the drug bandits and Chenglong in the movie each drove straight down the uphill hill, knocking a large area of wooden houses to pieces.

“oh――！ my-god！ ”

"How is it possible, is filming dead?"

“**！ That's not true, is it? ”

"Oooo

“……”

Looking at the stunned group of foreign devils around him, Li Xuan felt in his heart that this era seemed to be not bad.
