Thanks to Xuan 1986 for your tip.

Zhong Chuhong is a Shaw Brothers artist, Fang Yihua naturally knows that in Chen Ping'an's new play, the heroine is Zhong Chuhong, but she only knows so much. Chen Ping'an's high salary for Zhong Chuhong sealed Fang Yihua's curiosity.

In fact, she and Shao Yifu both believed that Chen Ping'an made a risky move this time, and the company was established less than a year ago, and he wanted to go to the United States to dig gold, just to pay off the final payment. After Chen Ping'an issued a fund-raising order, he called her, hoping that Shaw Brothers could invest one million US dollars, but she refused without thinking about it. It's impossible to borrow money, let alone invest it.

Chen Ping'an's choice of Zhong Chuhong is understandable in Fang Yihua's opinion.

Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest both have experience in breaking into the American market, but they both rely on male stars, the most well-known is Brucelee, who died young. After the decline of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest chose Cheng Long again, and tried many times to make and lose, but never opened the American market.

Several male stars have failed, and Chen Ping'an is understandable when he thinks of Zhong Chuhong. Honggu's sexiness is well known and is known as "Hong Kong Monroe", and it may be a success. However, Fang Yihua is not optimistic, what about sexy, the American market is not so easy to enter, if Zhong Chuhong can really attract the attention of Hollywood studios with this film and increase her value, she is still happy to see it. After all, Zhong Chuhong is still an artist under Shaw Brothers, and the contract will expire in January next year.

Chen Ping'an's move is a big gamble in Shao Yifu's eyes, taking the future of Dark Horse International as a bet. If it succeeds, Dark Horse International, which gets eight theaters, will get rid of the hat of an independent film company and become one of the film giants that can really compete with Golden Harvest and New Art City; If I fail, I'm afraid I will be beaten back to my original form. For this reason, Shao Yifu once sighed, saying that Chen Ping'an has the essence of a hero, if he was born ten years earlier, the Hong Kong film industry in the 70s would be more lively.

In the face of the reporter's interview, Fang Yihua's answer was very calm. said that she had known for a long time that Chen Ping'an had invited Zhong Chuhong to film, and as for whether there was any other relationship between the two, she was very sure that she had not.

Such a result was not what the reporter wanted, so they began to interview Zhong Chuhong and Chen Ping'an's friends and acquaintances, wanting to dig up some useful information. It doesn't have to be sure that the two are related, as long as there is a reason for the reader to leave a thought.

What is the bottom line of reporters, Chen Ping'an knows it very well. He came to the set and found Xu Ke during the break, hoping that the latter could complete Zhong Chuhong's role first, because he planned to take Zhong Chuhong to the United States as soon as possible to avoid Zhong Chuhong being harassed by reporters.

Xu Ke expressed his understanding, but Zhong Chuhong is one of the leading actors, and the role is very heavy, and it will be the middle of the month at the earliest, so he can't avoid the entanglement of reporters.

On the contrary, Zhong Chuhong was very angry, saying that he would not pay attention to the reporter as usual, and would not fly to the United States with Chen Ping'an in advance. said that she would go to the United States at the end of the month, and she still had some personal matters to deal with during this time, and she couldn't leave early.

Since Zhong Chuhong said so, Chen Ping'an naturally no longer asked for it, he definitely wanted to fly to the United States in advance. Actors, venues, equipment, and a lot of things have to be arranged in advance.

Xu Ke showed curiosity for the first time and asked Chen Ping'an about the plot of the ghost romance film, and Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong and Ye Qianwen next to him all pricked up their ears. Chen Ping'an shook his head with a smile, saying that he would leave some suspense, and everyone would know about it when it was released in Hong Kong in the future.

The filming of "Sword and Horse" continues, and the next thing to be filmed is the scene where Cao Yun played by Lin Qingxia was arrested and beaten. Chen Ping'an sat next to Xu Ke and watched it together, and always felt that the picture was a little awkward. Halfway through filming, Xu Ke suddenly shouted to stop, and the actors looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong.

Xu Ke asked Liang Jiahui to inform everyone to rest for two minutes, and then discussed with Chen Ping'an in a whisper: "I think that when Cao Yun was tortured, the effect of the real fight was better, what do you think?" ”

It's a shame that you don't know Li Yuanfang! Chen Ping'an pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I agree." ”

Lin Qingxia was very dedicated, and was only stunned for a moment after learning the news, and then agreed.

The camera was reshot, and the warlord in charge of the interrogation ordered someone to whip Lin Qingxia on the back fiercely, although Lin Qingxia had been specially thickened with a few clothes, but Tsui Hark specially ordered the actor in advance to really whip him, and the picture seemed very real.

Lin Qingxia's screams, the picture of the whip on her back, and the hideous face of the tortured soldier are all real and natural. But after several shots, Lin Qingxia's body was already bruised, and everyone present was distressed.

When Xu Ke said that this scene was OK, Zhong Chuhong, Ye Qianwen and the staff immediately surrounded and carefully untied the rope on Lin Qingxia's hand, and the two female staff members wanted to help Lin Qingxia into the dressing room to take medicine, but they were pushed away by Lin Qingxia.

She shook her finger at Chen Ping'an: "You, carry me in!" ”

"Why?"

"Because you let people really beat me!"

"It's not me, it's Lao Xu Tiyì, I'm just nodding."

"If you didn't nod, how could Director Xu agree? Do you carry it or not! ”

Isn't this nonsense!

In the laughter and coaxing of others, Chen Ping'an walked over and half-squatted, letting Lin Qingxia lie on his back. Lin Qingxia, who is over 30 years old, is very well maintained, just like a little girl in her twenties, with a delicate body, full breasts, and exhaling like an orchid.

Chen Ping'an held Lin Qingxia's legs, and his plump thighs made him can't help but rub them twice. Feeling that Lin Qingxia's delicate body on his back trembled slightly, he hurriedly diverted the other party's attention: "Sister Qingxia, it's time for you to lose weight, I almost can't carry you." ”

"I'm going to die!" Lin Qingxia blushed and twisted his shoulder.

The dressing room was not far away, and a few minutes later, Chen Ping'an carried Lin Qingxia to the dressing room, and immediately a female staff helped her sit down, drove all the men out, and applied ointment to Lin Qingxia's back.

Chen Ping'an came back slowly, and Xu Ke quipped: "It seems that you have a good relationship with Qingxia, are she and Honggu going to be signed by you?" ”

"What, Director Xu, are you also tempted? If you are willing to come, I will welcome you. ”

"Let's make your ghost movie first."

"It's a ghost romance!"

In September, "Summer Lucky Star" and "Working Emperor" were painted successively. The box office of the former is 25 million, because of the impact of "The True Color of Heroes", it is more than 3 million less than the previous life; The latter is just the opposite, because during the release, there were rumors that Xu Ke was interested in joining Dark Horse International when he took over the filming of "Dao Ma Dan", and the box office increased by more than 1 million compared with the previous life, reaching 18.4 million.

What is jaw-dropping is that the first "True Colors of Heroes" has not yet been painted, and the Shaw Brothers has only reduced the number of theaters where it was released, because there are still some citizens, even if they have watched it several times, they are still willing to pay for tickets to watch it again, which can be regarded as crazy fans.

The number of fans in this batch is not small, and the box office generated is no less than that of Shaw Brothers' new film, so "The True Color of Heroes" was released until the end of September. Although the box office failed to reach Chen Ping'an's expectation of 40 million, the astonishing box office of 37 million still set a new high at the Hong Kong box office, which is extremely shocking.

Many media and film critics have written articles, believing that this year's box office champion is none other than "The True Colors of Heroes", and next year's Hong Kong Film Awards will become a one-man show for "The True Colors of Heroes".

Chen Ping'an didn't know about these things for the time being, because on September 10, he boarded a plane to the United States. Also boarding the plane with him were Shangge Yunton, Dwarf Niu, Luo Lixian, Guan Jinpeng and Li Xiaolin.

"Chen, we're finally back again!" The moment he stepped on the land of Hollywood, Shang Geyunton couldn't help but roar excitedly.

Chen Ping'an also felt a little emotional. At the end of October last year, he left Hollywood and returned to Hong Kong, which can be said to be penniless, and the air tickets were all bought by Shang Gewenton. Eleven months later, as the owner of the film company, he returned to the United States again, back to Hollywood to make movies.

This time, the fundraising order did not become a joke as others imagined. Chen Ping'an raised $2 million. It invested $500,000 in the brothers' Yongsheng Film Company, and Taiwan's Hailian Pictures invested $500,000. For these two film companies, Chen Ping'an didn't say a word of thanks, but only told the other party to wait and count the money next year.

In addition, Zou Wenhuai clapped, and Golden Harvest borrowed one million US dollars. It's a loan, not an investment, Golden Harvest doesn't share the investment income, but after Chen Ping'an's ghost romance film comes out at the box office, no matter whether it is a profit or a loss, you must first repay Golden Harvest loan from the box office.

Zou Wenhuai's biggest hope in this life is to make Chinese films compete with American Hollywood. In Hong Kong, no film company owner has such a mind and bearing. In order to promote Chinese films to the world, first Brucelee, and then Cheng Long, have made and lost money for many years, but they have never changed their dreams.

Knowing that Chen Ping'an intended to enter the American film industry, he decided to support Chen Ping'an. It's a pity that Golden Harvest is not his alone, and in the face of opposition from everyone in the company, he can only change his strategy, change from investment to borrowing, and lend Chen Ping'an one million US dollars.

Chen Ping'an expressed regret for this. In a sense, Zou Wenhuai and his ideas are the same, and he can be regarded as a like-minded comrade, he doesn't mind that Golden Harvest will get a piece of the pie and increase Zou Wenhuai's ammunition to attack Hollywood. It's just a pity that Golden Harvest's one million is a loan, not an investment, and it is destined to not be able to share the investment income.

Before leaving, Zou Wenhuai invited him to his home for dinner, and during the banquet, he talked about many precautions when making movies in the United States, which were all Golden Harvest's experience, and hoped that Chen Ping'an could succeed in the war and open the door to Hollywood again for Hong Kong films. Chen Ping'an was moved in his heart, and almost put his thoughts together.

Walking out of the airport, Chen Ping'an looked around, and Shang Geyunton muttered: "Chen, you are the boss, your only employee actually didn't come to pick him up, I think you need to fire him." ”

"I'm also your boss, but you always call me 'Chen' directly."

"We're friends, and I think our friendship is more important."

"He had his difficulties, and besides, I didn't let him pick him up."

Guan Jinpeng asked Shang Geyundun curiously: "Who are you talking about with the boss?" ”

"Li Press, like you, is also an Oriental, Chen said that he is very talented, and he is an employee of Chen in the United States."

"The boss also has a company in the United States?"

"That's right, it's also called Dark Horse International, but I've only invested in one movie, and I only have one employee, and that's that Li."
