Lau Kar-leung wore sunglasses and saluted, and walked out of Hong Kong's Kai Tak International Airport alone.

He was born in a martial arts family, and at the age of nine he learned martial arts with his father, who was a personal disciple of Lin Shirong, a disciple of Huang Feihong. In the mid-50s, he entered the film industry with his father, starting as an extra and a dragon and tiger martial artist. During his time at Shaw Brothers, he became the royal martial arts instructor of the great director Zhang Qu, and since the mid-70s, he has directed a series of outstanding kung fu martial arts films.

In 75 years, his first work "God Fight" laid the foundation, laying the foundation for kung fu comedy. The 76-year-old "Lu Acai and Wong Fei Hung" revived the Wong Fei Hung theme for the first time, making his film style shine. In 78, "Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms" made Shaolin martial arts movies a craze, and it became more famous internationally, bringing out his brother Liu Jiahui. Since '79, Lau Kar-leung has been an actor and screenwriter, and has become one of the best-selling directors of Shaw Brothers.

In the early 80s, his kung fu films were still very popular with audiences, and "Elders" in 81 made Hui Yinghong the Best Actress at the first Hong Kong Film Awards, making Hui Yinghong a new generation of martial arts actresses.

However, with the decline of Shaw Brothers' martial arts films and the loss of power in internal strife, the number of films began to decline sharply the year before last, and after filming "Ten Heroes of Thunderbolt" last year, he went north and directed the co-production "North and South Shaolin" between Hong Kong and the mainland as a director.

After the filming, Lau Jialiang was not in a hurry to return to Hong Kong, but stayed in the mainland for several months to cultivate his self-cultivation and temperament. It wasn't until he learned from a friend a few days ago that Shaw Brothers had announced its liquidation, and he hurried back to Hong Kong.

In Shaw Brothers, middle and high-level executives and directors like him who have achieved glory have long received internal rumors, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

Walking out of the airport, just as he was strange that his younger brothers Liu Jiahui and Liu Jiarong did not come to the airport to pick him up, a familiar Mercedes-Benz S stopped on the side of the road, and a stout man took someone out of the car and walked in front of him: "Master Liu, you are back." ”

"Is that you?"

For more than a year, the dwarf cow has often partnered with the monk and played the villain's personal fighter, because of the special shape, the monk and the monk have a very tense partner, so the dwarf cow is also a little famous in the circle, and Liu Jialiang, who was born as a dragon and tiger martial artist, remembers him. Liu Jialiang even recognizes this Mercedes-Benz S, Chen Ping'an's only car, and few people in Hong Kong don't know it.

"Master Liu, please get in the car."

"No need, my brother will be picking me up soon."

"They're not coming." The cow motioned to his men to open the car door, "They are all waiting for you at the company now." ”

"Company?" Liu Jialiang was slightly stunned, "Dark Horse International? ”

The dwarf cow nodded: "Master Liu, please get in the car." ”

Liu Jialiang filmed "North and South Shaolin" in the mainland in the second half of last year, and his impression of Dark Horse International was still limited to the period of "The True Color of Heroes", with few but fine films, and the scale was small and extremely informal.

But when he came to the World Trade Center, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "When did the Causeway Bay Convention Center change its name to the World Trade Center, and your company moved here?" ”

The calf didn't speak.

Take the elevator to the 37th floor, as soon as you get out of the elevator door, and see the huge logo of Dark Horse International opposite, Liu Jialiang couldn't help but exclaim: "Won't the entire floor be rented by your Dark Horse International?" ”

The dwarf cow still didn't speak this time, but a young clerk passing by took over: "It's not that our company rents an entire floor, but that the entire building is our company's property." Our company now operates on the top two floors. ”

"Dark Horse International bought the entire Causeway Bay Convention Center?" Liu Jialiang gasped, "You are from Dark Horse International...... Employee? ”

"Yes, I joined the company only before yesterday and am still on probation, but I will be able to become a regular soon! Ah, Manager Niu...... I'm sorry, I didn't see you, I'm going to do something. ”

The young man trotted away all the way, but Liu Jialiang felt a strong sense of pride from the other party's tone and tone, as if he was proud to be able to join Dark Horse International, even if it was just an ordinary employee who had not passed the probation period.

In the more than half a year since I left Hong Kong, has there been something that I don't know about?

Following the dwarf cow to the No. 1 reception room, a staff member pushed the door open, and the dwarf cow raised his hand and said: "Master Liu, please come in, our boss will be there later." ”

Chen Ping'an is such a big shelf!

Liu Jialiang and Chen Ping'an have had several encounters. Chen Ping'an had just returned to Hong Kong and was working with Shaw Brothers for the first time, when he was there when a sample of "Police Story" was shown in the Shaw Brothers screening room.

The reception room is very lively, and when you stand outside the door, you can hear the chatter and laughter inside, and the sound is very familiar.

After walking into the reception room and seeing the people inside, Liu Jialiang was stunned.

Liu Jiahui, Liu Jiarong, Hui Yinghong, Xiaohou, Ma Liu, Zhang Zhanpeng, Jingzhu, Lin Keming, Yang Jingjing, all of them were members of his Liu family class!

The reason why I said that it was once was because after the filming of "North and South Shaolin" was completed, he stayed in the mainland to recuperate, and the members of Liu's class returned to Hong Kong first, and before leaving, he announced the disbandment of Liu's class. Although everyone was reluctant at that time, with the liquidation of Shaw Brothers and his absence in Hong Kong, the members of the Liu family class did not go their separate ways?

"Why are you all here?"

"Brother, we're waiting for you!" Liu Jiahui and Liu Jiarong walked to Liu Jialiang's side and pulled him affectionately, the three brothers hadn't seen each other for several months.

"Wait for me?"

"Yes!" Hui Yinghong had a smile on her face, and she couldn't hide her excitement, "Mr. Chen said that he was willing to sign all of us!" ”

"Mr. Chen? Is that Chen Ping'an's young man? ”

Liu Jiarong reminded in a low voice: "Brother, don't you dare to call Mr. Chen that." ”

"What dare you dare, isn't it just the boss of a small film company?"

Liu Jiahui was so anxious that he almost didn't cover his mouth: "Brother, Dark Horse International is a big company now!" ”

"Big company?" Liu Jialiang looked around and saw that everyone was nodding their heads, their faces full of doubts, "...... these few months?"

Many members of Liu Jiaban's class said a word, so that Liu Jialiang completely figured out the changes that have taken place in Dark Horse International from the second half of last year to the present, when he heard that the global box office of "Ghost Love" was nearly 500 million US dollars, his eyes were straight at that time!

There are also Dark Horse International Records, Dark Horse International Investment Company, Dark Horse International Film Distribution Company, Dark Horse International Broker Company...... I heard that there is a film company registered in the United States, Liu Jialiang gasped - this offspring is so powerful!

"Brother, you know now, Mr. Chen is now the boss of a large company, and I don't know how many people want to join in!"

It took ten minutes for Liu Jialiang to come to his senses: "No wonder, no wonder, no wonder...... So, are you all ready to join Dark Horse International? ”

Needless to say? Dark Horse International is now the second most attractive in Hong Kong, and no film company dares to admit that it is the first.

The members of the Lau family class can play and act, the most famous are Lau Ka Fai and Hui Yinghong, the latter also won the first Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actress.

The liquidation of Shaw Brothers does not mean that all employees are abandoned, and a small number of them are preparing to move to TVB, such as Liu Jiahui and Hui Yinghong. However, compared with Chen Ping'an's invitation, the attraction of wireless is much weaker, and in terms of salary alone, wireless is several streets behind Dark Horse International.

How many companies can have a big brother for all their employees? Even if there were only a dozen employees of Dark Horse International at that time, this represented the bearing of the boss Chen Ping'an.

When Liang Jiahui found the two and said that they were invited to join Dark Horse International on behalf of Chen Ping'an, the two were overjoyed and agreed without hesitation. With the help of the two of them, Liang Jiahui contacted other members of Liu Jiaban, and most of them expressed their willingness to join Dark Horse International.

"What about Medello and Wang Yu?"

No matter how dazzling Dark Horse International is, it is only an upstart, and not everyone wants to join. Just like Medello and Wang Yu, two important figures in Liu's class, the former joined Xinyicheng, and the latter went to ATV.

"Well, everyone can have a good future!" Liu Jialiang said with emotion. In the Shaw Brothers for so many years, these members of the Liu family class have followed him in the wind and rain, and they have a deep relationship with each other. The Shaw Brothers liquidation was able to immediately join other film companies, and the event was very fortunate that not every employee abandoned by Shaw Brothers was accepted by the film company.

Taking the hot water handed by Yang Jingjing, Liu Jialiang took a sip to moisten his throat, and then asked, "Do you know what arrangements Mr. Chen has made for you?" ”

"Brother, Mr. Chen didn't just sign us, but also you. Yinghong and I have talked to Mr. Chen, and he hopes that you will continue to lead us, and he will set up the Chen family class. ”

"Chen Jiaban?" At this moment, Liu Jialiang suddenly felt a little in a trance, the same team and the same people, but it was no longer his Liu family class, but Chen Ping'an's Chen family class. "Yes, yes, Chen Jiaban, it's Chen Jiaban......"

"Whether it's Chen Jiaban or Liu Jiaban, I hope that Director Liu can lead them and join hands with me to create our own glory." Chen Ping'an's voice sounded from outside the door, and he took Zhang Ziyang and Liang Jiahui to walk quickly to Liu Jialiang's side and took the initiative to hold each other's hands.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Mr. Chen!"

"Mr. Chen!"

Liu Jiahui, Hui Yinghong and others got up to say hello, Chen Ping'an nodded with a smile, and finally held Liu Jialiang's hand and said: "Liu Daozhou is tired, let Liu Dao wait for a long time, Chen is here to make amends." ”

Liu Jialiang already knows that today's Chen Ping'an is not the small boss of half a year ago, and Dark Horse International has also successfully ranked among the four leading theaters in Xiangjiang. ”

"So Director Liu is willing to join the company? Ayan, bring the contract! ”

So straightforward!

Seeing Liu Jiahui, Hui Yinghong and others overjoyed one by one, Chen Ping'an was full of fists, what else could Liu Jialiang say? After reading the contract, the last one signed his name on the contract.

Chen Jiaban was established!

"I have already secured a place at Yongji, and I would like to thank you all for joining Dark Horse International. However, I can't leave because I have something to do, so I can only ask Ah Hui to greet you on my behalf, and I ask for a few forgiveness. Ah Hui, greet me at night, if you neglect me, I will deduct your salary, haha. ”

Liang Jiahui is currently playing the role of office director in Dark Horse International, directly obeying Shi Nansheng's orders, and all kinds of miscellaneous matters are in his charge.

After a few casual conversations, Chen Ping'an asked Liu Jialiang: "How do you feel about filming in the north this time?" Li Lianjie, that young man...... "RS."
