On the surface, the two-line joint screening of the two companies is to deal with the newly established New Art City, but in the eyes of Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, their real business opponent is not the New Art City, but the behind-the-scenes financier of the investment in the New Art City, the "Golden Princess" Cinema Line.

Lei Juekun, the big boss behind the scenes of "Golden Princess", is not a professional filmmaker, but the Lei family is a billionaire family operating transportation and real estate.

At the beginning of its establishment, Princess Jin was like a main theater line, but she was just showing movies made by others, and it must be uncomfortable to watch others make money.

Lei Juekun is quite generous to investing in films, and he also respects filmmakers like Mecca, so soon Mecca was transferred to the Golden Princess, and "Struggle" was renamed "New Art City".

Originally, the Hong Kong film market was divided equally by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, but now there is a golden princess, and of course Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai are unwilling to do it, so there is a practice of double-line joint screening.

On the surface, the two film companies seem to have joined forces, but in fact, this two-line joint screening strategy is full of crises, and the reason is because of interests!

Because Shaw Brothers has always pursued a large-scale studio production system, it has been going downhill all these years. The quality of the works produced is uneven, so the result of the double-line joint screening must be a well-made Golden Harvest movie.

The Shaw Brothers side has little profit, and there is no light on the face, which is by no means a long-term strategy.

Xu Guanwen saw this and said that things were not as simple as Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanwu's analysis. And there is a more important reason, Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanwu only saw the contradiction between Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, but ignored the contradiction between Lin Xi and Wireless.

If Hui Yinghong really can't play "Back to the Future", the reason is definitely because of this.

Shao Yifu has now turned his main energy to TV, and it doesn't matter if Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest occasionally cooperate with him, but Lin Xi has just helped ATV defeat wireless twice in a row. made the wireless disgraced, at this time, it was definitely not very difficult for Shao Yifu to agree to let the actors of the Shaw Brothers go to Lin Xi to make a movie.

Xu Guanwen said this worry, and Xu Guanjie also felt that things were going to be yellow, but he still insisted on contacting Hui Yinghong first. Try to let her convince the Shaw side on her own.

Of course, Xu Guanwen didn't have much hope for this, but he didn't want to dampen his younger brother's enthusiasm, so he let him do it.

Hui Yinghong received a call from Xu Guanjie, and heard that she could cooperate with the Xu brothers, but before she had time to be happy, she was told by Xu Guanjie that this movie was directed by Lin Xi, and told all the grievances between Lin Xi and Wireless, and let Hui Yinghong make up her own mind.

Hui Yinghong has no idea of what she wants. As long as you ask the people around you for advice, you just ask this person who happens to be Liu Jialiang, who just finished filming "Elders" with her.

Liu Jialiang was originally a martial artist in Zhang Che's team, and later established the Liu family class from his own portal. Hui Yinghong is his female apprentice.

The two are nominally masters and apprentices, but in private, Hui Yinghong has a little bit of meaning to Liu Jialiang, because Liu Jialiang took care of her a lot when she was filming, and Hui Yinghong was a beater, acting was very hard, and it was easy to be grateful after being taken care of. Gradually, it evolved into love.

Master-apprentice love is not a big problem in later generations, but at this point it is almost equivalent to indecent. Therefore, the relationship between the two is not easy to find, but they probably understand each other's meaning in their hearts.

Hui Yinghong encountered such an undecided matter. Of course, I went to Liu Jialiang to ask for ideas.

As soon as Liu Jialiang heard that Lin Xi was the director, he released words on the spot and did not allow Hui Yinghong to play that role, because Liu Jialiang himself is the defender of the orthodox kung fu films with hard horses and hard bridges, and Lin Xi deviantly made the means of hanging Weiya and using stand-ins in "Chu Liuxiang", which is undoubtedly inferior in Liu Jialiang's eyes.

Zhang Che had complained before that Lin Xi had made many martial artists unemployed, and he was a little unwilling, but Liu Jialiang didn't like Lin Xi completely because of differences in martial arts concepts.

You must know that Liu Jialiang's father is Liu Zhan, a generation of Hongquan masters, and Liu Zhan's master is Lin Shirong, and Lin Shirong's master is Huang Feihong, so Liu Jialiang has always regarded himself as the successor of Huang Feihong, and this identity is genuine.

Liu Jialiang is from a martial arts family, so he naturally looks down on Lin Xi for playing that set of "fake kung fu" tricks, and when he heard that Hui Yinghong was going to film Lin Xi's play, his first reaction was to stop it.

But at the same time, Liu Jialiang really likes his female apprentice, and thinks about her in everything, after sending Hui Yinghong away, he is thinking about it alone, and now the audience likes Lin Xi's set, although he himself will not follow suit, but there is no reason to use this as an excuse to prevent Hui Yinghong from cooperating with Lin Xi, not to mention anything else, Lin Xi's leading actors in two TV series are now so popular that he makes it difficult to say that Hui Ying has lost a chance to become famous.

After thinking about this, Liu Jialiang called Hui Yinghong back again, asked carefully about the situation of this play, and heard that it was not a play, the last trace of scruples in his heart was dispelled, and he immediately changed his mind to support Hui Yinghong to play this role.

With Liu Jialiang's support, Hui Yinghong immediately rushed to negotiate with the Shaw Brothers, and what she was going to negotiate with the Shaw Brothers this time was not only to cooperate with Lin Xi, but also to want the Shaw Brothers to give her a salary increase.

Hui Yinghong has been beating women for so many years, but the monthly salary given to her by Shaw Brothers is only 500 yuan, which is lower no matter what, but it is unfortunate that Fang Yihua is now the daily main business of Shaw Brothers.

Fang Yihua is a very principled person, and her principles can be summed up very simply, just a "saving" word, since she joined Shaw Brothers, Shaw Brothers' purchasing manager has been nicknamed CuttingManager - no matter what budget is reported. I'll cut you in half.

The most famous example is that once Li Hanshen used 10 children to blow bubbles during filming, but the purchasing department only approved 5 bamboo tubes for blowing soap bubbles, which made Director Li, who had already found 10 children, depressed, and directly stopped filming this drama.

Hui Yinghong went to see Fang Yihua, and first mentioned a salary increase to her. There is no doubt that Fang Yihua rejected it. Then Hui Yinghong said that Xu Guanjie invited her to film, Fang Yihua's attitude was not so clear at first, but when she heard that the director of that movie was Lin Xi, she immediately turned cold and directly told Hui Yinghong that there was nothing to talk about.

Two things were rejected in a row, and of course Hui Yinghong refused to do it.

Fang Yihua's side is also sure that the two parties have signed a contract before. Hui Yinghong didn't dare to disobey, so her attitude was very resolute.

Hui Yinghong was not in a hurry, and reminded Fang Yihua with a smile, asking her to take a good look at the contract she signed with Shaw Brothers back then - at that time, Hui Yinghong was not yet an adult, and it was her sister who signed the contract. Not herself.

Fang Yihua, who has always been shrewd, has made a mistake in this matter.

Hui Yinghong threatened that if the Shaw Brothers did not agree to her conditions, everyone would break up.

Fang Yihua had no choice but to agree to Hui Yinghong's request, not only raising her monthly salary from 500 to 10,000 all at once, but also being forced to agree to Hui Yinghong to film Lin Xi.

The development of things to this point not only greatly surprised Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie's brothers. Even Lin Xi was taken aback when he heard about it.

The Xu brothers were surprised that Hui Yinghong actually persuaded the Shaw Brothers, and Lin Xi was surprised that Hui Yinghong would actually agree to appear in this movie.

Originally, "Back to the Future" gathered Xu Guanwen and Zhou Xingchi, two generations of comedy kings. Coupled with Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanying, the lineup is already quite luxurious, and now that there is one more Hui Yinghong, the meaning will immediately become different.

If Lin Xi's memory is not wrong, the Hong Kong Film Awards should be born next year.

Although there were only five awards in the first edition: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Picture.

There is no nomination and no red carpet, just a simple award and an announcement to the public. Even at that time, neither the winners nor the media took this award seriously.

But from Lin Xi's point of view. The pomp and circumstance at the beginning of the Academy Awards was indeed shabby compared to later, but the pattern and mind were much larger than in the future.

Until Lin Xi crossed over for a while. The Academy Awards have been held for more than 30 years, and dozens of actors and actresses have been born, but among so many best actors and actresses, there are a few comedians who have been crowned as the best actors, and a few action actors who have won the actress, which can be counted on one hand.

However, the first Academy Awards had such courage, awarding the actor to Xu Guanwen, who was born as a comedian, and the actress to Hui Yinghong, who was born as a girl.

Although there is still more than half a year before the first Academy Awards, "Modern Bodyguard", which helped Xu Guanwen win the title of actor, and "Elders", which helped Hui Yinghong win the title of actress, have all been filmed and released, which means that as long as the Academy Awards can be judged normally, the first actor and actress are destined to be in the bag of Xu Guanwen and Hui Yinghong.

Being able to promote the cooperation between Xu Guanwen and Zhou Xingchi, the two generations of comedy kings in "Back to the Future", Lin Xi is already very satisfied, and now even the first Academy Award actor and actress have been gathered, this cast even Lin Xi himself thinks is a bit too extravagant?

When Xu Guanwen called Lin Xi to talk about this, he was worried that Lin Xi would object, but he didn't expect Lin Xi to be silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and he agreed directly without saying anything.

Counting Hui Hongying and Zhou Comin, who was recommended by Lin Xi to play the role, the actors of "Back to the Future" are officially complete.
