In front of the upheaval in Eastern Europe that shocked the whole world last year, Lin Xiaozhi was sure that his film that used 'conspiracy theories' implicitly would not be too small in Europe and the United States, and the smarter people were, the more interested they were in the specious. In addition, the Hong Kong film industry is the best at dealing with action movies, and he himself has been deeply influenced by hundreds of classic action movies in later generations, and he believes that the design of the plot and action will not be too bad

Regarding the preparation for the shooting of his new movie, Lin Xiaozhi himself has actually been preparing for a long time. Even if Chen Baiqiang's scandal happened before, it did not affect his preparations, and it has been continuing.

As an action movie, a good action director is indispensable. He had already said hello to Yuan Kui in advance, Yuan Kui has always been a free man, and when he heard that Lin Xiaozhi was going to open a new movie, he pushed down the next movie he was about to take, and made an appointment with him to continue to cooperate and serve as the action director of Lin Xiaozhi's new movie.

In terms of photographers, Lin Xiaozhi sent an invitation to Hong Kong gold medal photographer Huang Yuetai. Since his debut as a photographer in the 70s, he has been in charge of dozens of films. "Miracle", which once monopolized the Hong Kong box office champion for most of the year last year, is his work. Throughout Hong Kong, there are no more than a handful of photographers who can be ranked with him. Lin Xiaozhi saw this and extended an invitation to him.

However, to invite Huang Yuetai, Lin Xiaozhi also spent a lot of effort. Because Huang Yuetai had just received Xu Ke's invitation recently, after making Zhang Guorong and Wang Xianxian wait for two years, the old monster finally made up his mind to invest in filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", so he greeted him in advance and wanted to ask him to be the photographer.

Fortunately, in this movie, Xu Laowei is still ready to let his henchman Cheng Xiaodong direct, he is now filming "Qin Warriors" for New Asia in the mainland, "Qin Warriors" will not be finished for a while, Lin Xiaozhi used some means to trick Huang Yuetai into saying that his new movie can be shot in February, and it will not delay him much, so he signed this gold medal photographer and took charge of the camera for "Red Alert".

According to Lin Xiaozhi's setting, the scene of "Red Alert" will be very large, much larger than "Police Story", which is known as the largest Hong Kong film with the largest scene, and it is naturally impossible to finish filming within a month or two. However, Lin Xiaozhi is not worried that Huang Yuetai will be angry with him when he finds out afterwards, firstly, the price he offered is half higher than that of Xu Ke's studio, and secondly, it is initially estimated that the investment in "Red Alert" may reach the scale of 40 million Hong Kong dollars. As the largest investment film in Hong Kong's history, he didn't believe that Huang Yuetai would not be moved when he exposed these when the movie began.

Not to mention that it is an honor to take the helm of a film with an investment of 40 million Hong Kong dollars, there are not many cinematographers in Hong Kong who can take charge of a film with an investment of 20 million Hong Kong dollars. As the first film in Hong Kong with an investment of 40 million, the entire crew involved in the filming is destined to leave a heavy mark in the history of Hong Kong films.

The action director and cinematographer invited the best ones, and Lin Xiaozhi also invited two masters, namely Ke Shouliang, the stunt master who is the best at flying car stunts, and Lan Naicai, Hong Kong's premier geek. He is the person in the film industry who knows the most about hard special effects processing, relying on cameras, props and post-editing, and computer processing is only an assistant. In order to invite the temperamental and eccentric Lan Naicai, Lin Xiaozhi not only offered him a salary of 400,000 yuan, but also promised to hand over the post-editing of the movie to him, so he finally invited this famous Hong Kong geek to come out of the mountain.

After finishing the crew, Lin Xiaozhi's headache was basically over, and the rest of the actors had suitable candidates in his heart in those months of script creation.

There is no doubt that the most important role in the movie is the actor Leon, Lin Xiaozhi originally wanted to give this role to Zhou Yunfa, whether it is about acting skills or appearance, Zhou Yunfa is one of the best male artists in Hong Kong. Helplessly, Xinya seems to lack some fate with Fa Ge, relying on a "God of Gamblers" to sell 40 million at the box office, Fa Ge made a lot of money for Yongsheng. It is said that not only was the Taiwan distribution rights of the film sold to the scholar company by the Xiang brothers for a record-breaking price of 12 million Hong Kong dollars, but the Xiang brothers are also negotiating with Meiya and other Southeast Asian distributors, and if the negotiations are successful, Yongsheng is likely to make a huge profit of nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars from Southeast Asia

Fa Ge's movie brought tens of millions of huge returns to Yongsheng, how could the Xiang brothers let him go. Listening to the news from the industry, Fa Ge is likely to have been signed by the Xiang brothers at a high price. Of course, Yongsheng, who was born in the community, is no better than other companies in the industry, and the news released to the outside world is true or false. Although Lin Xiaozhi sent an invitation to his agent, he was also ready to do both, and asked Zhu Zhishan to contact Liu Dehua, a signed artist of the Arts Entertainment Company.

In terms of acting skills and popularity, Liu Tianwang is indeed a lot worse than Fa Ge, but he is better than his appearance, as for acting skills or something, he actually still has it after debuting for many years.

Considering that the heroine wants to focus on the overseas market, Lin Xiaozhi intends to lend their former mixed-race jade girl Ling with Debao. This mixed-race beauty who is good at taekwondo and karate has unique conditions, and she relied on the movie "Best Lucky Star" directed by Zeng Zhiwei for two years, but unfortunately she has not been able to take on another movie to consolidate her position. Since she cooperated with Lin Qingxia in "Windfall of 30 Million", her popularity has been declining every year, and in the past two years, her fame has been completely thrown out of a few streets by Wang Xianxian and Guan Zhilin, who were as famous as her at the beginning, and even Li Jiaxin, Yuan Jieying and other later generations, their fame must surpass her.

However, her appearance is very good, not only is she good at it, but she has also acted in movies for many years, which is much easier to train than a vase. This is also one of the reasons why Lin Xiaozhi chose her.

In other roles, Lin Xiaozhi considered promoting his company's own signed artists, as well as artists who had worked with him. Wu Yijiang, Qian Jiale and several others are all good, either from the professional training class or the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts, the bald Xu Jinjiang is also on his list of actors, "Killer Leon" has made him a little familiar with the audience in Europe, and it is not a pity to let him go.

As for other female characters, New Asia has female artists, such as Qiu Yueqing and Qiu Yuru can be used, even if it is not enough, there is also the most famous female popular group in Hong Kong on New Asia Records, Happy Girl Group. Anyway, they are all Xinya's own people, and they just took the opportunity to train these artists who can only sell cuteness, show off their career lines, eat youth, and their acting skills have not been very good.

As for the foreigners who need to be used in the movie, it is not difficult to choose. Richard Norton, Gary Daniels, Mike Abbott, etc., there are not a few foreigners who eat mixed rice in Hong Kong, and there are more people who are good at fist and foot kung fu. Most of them are influenced by Hong Kong action movies, and they come to Hong Kong from overseas countries to eat. Don't look at Hong Kong people because of xenophobia, these foreigners are either horny people, perverts or antagonists in Hong Kong films, among which Mr. Bodybuilder accounts for less than half, and more are not good at karate, judo or free fighting, boxing, Lin Xiaozhi paid a little attention to it before, and he was also shocked, even he didn't expect that during the golden decade in Hong Kong, there were so many foreign actors who ate in Hong Kong, but it was cheap for him who was trying to break into the European and American markets in vain.

Lin Xiaozhi is going to make a new movie, from funds to props to photographic equipment, etc., the whole company has begun to prepare for it, and more and more invitation calls have been made from New Asia to other film companies, including Zhu Zhishan, several directors, deputy directors, and company directors of New Asia Film Company have personally led a team to negotiate with the artists in Lin Xiaozhi's picture, their agents, and the company.

Around Lin Xiaozhi's new movie, Xinya's machine moves in an orderly manner.

At first, many Hong Kong media were still curious about why "Sing Pao", one of the Hong Kong media giants, chose to stand on the side of New Asia and cheer for New Asia with an iron heart.

Soon some of them answered the doubts in their hearts, and at first, some rumors suddenly came from out of nowhere, saying that the vice president of Xinya Film Company was in contact with Cheng Pao Newspaper Group, and there was likely to be a big move between the two companies.

This rumor is said to come from a shareholder of Cheng Pao Newspaper Group, and the outside world cannot believe it. However, the contact between New Asia Film Company and Cheng Pao Newspaper Group, the parent company of "Cheng Pao", made many people scratch their heads and think about what big moves the two could make when they came together.

The Hong Kong media has been buzzing for several days around the rumors coming out of Sing Pao, and almost every day you can see discussions in the newspapers about the big moves between New Asia and Sing Pao.

Some people speculate that New Asia may win the high-quality advertising space of "Cheng Pao" in the next year at a sky-high price of nearly 10 million, which is why "Cheng Pao" has been so partial to New Asia Film Company during this time.

As soon as this statement appeared, it caused countless discussions, among which half of them agreed with this speculation, and the reasons for their belief were also abundant, and almost all of the high-quality advertising space on "Cheng Pao" in the past half a month has been taken away by New Asia Film Company and New Asia Records, and it is difficult not to attract attention. In their opinion, even if Lin Xiaozhi didn't spend tens of millions to buy out the high-quality advertising space of "Cheng Pao", at least he spent a lot of effort to win over "Cheng Pao".

The media quarreled with Sing Pao for New Asia, and even the South China Times, Hong Kong's largest English-language newspaper, which was bought by the media king Murdoch, finally couldn't hold back, and the newly appointed New Zealand editor-in-chief Lird humorously wrote in the corner of the latest issue of the newspaper: "...... Two years ago, he was a well-known gentleman of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, but two years later, he became an upstart in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and a future movie tycoon. We can't use common sense to measure this famous wealthy rebel, if a few days later, the situation changes dramatically, and this upstart in the entertainment industry becomes the new boss of "Cheng Pao", it is not impossible"

The New Zealander, who is just 50 years old this year, just made a joke, and he didn't expect that just one day later, the Hong Kong Economic Journal would break a big story.

"New Asia may merge "Sing Pao", the upstart in the entertainment industry can no longer satisfy Lin Xiaozhi, and the wealthy rebel swords the media, wanting to be Hong Kong's Murdoch"
