On May 28th, Lin Xiaozhi got up early in the morning, Wang Jia'an asked him to rush to the company early today before getting off work yesterday, the audition of the actors of "Maoshan Taoist Fighting Zombies" has ended, Xinya is already so popular, once the movie starts, almost the entire company will revolve around a movie.

"Dad, it's early......"

"Old man, today is Saturday, why do you get up so early......

"Big brother, ...... early"

"Grandpa Fu is early, also help me prepare a breakfast, as usual!"

Holding a few newspapers that had just been delivered, Lin Xiaozhi fiddled with the tie knot on the neckline with one hand. For him, who is accustomed to wearing loose and casual clothes, wearing a suit is a kind of torture. When I walked to the restaurant on the first floor, I found that except for the sister-in-law who went home to visit relatives and the third mother and son who hadn't gotten up on vacation today, everyone in the family was already sitting at the dining table.

"Hmm!"

Lin Jiannian glanced at him and nodded. Recently, his restless second son seems to have finally become sensible, and he has honestly insisted on working from 8 to 5 for a few days, which makes him very relieved. No matter how long he can hold out in the future, at least for now, the momentum is good.

“…… Dad, after getting a loan from Uncle Nine, the bank's situation has improved greatly. I have already contacted several newspapers and will be conducting a series of publicity reports on the bank in the near future, reshaping the image of our Kowloon Bank in the hearts of the public, and fighting back against those who keep criticizing us, saying that our Lin family has no money. ”

Lin Jiannian likes to communicate with the old man about some business things during dinner, these Lin Xiaozhi has recently understood, he rarely eats at home at noon, but in the morning and evening, he often hears the old man and his father in the exchange of work, the eldest brother occasionally participates in interjecting and discussing a few words, it seems that the two old people are using this method to constantly cultivate the heir in their eyes.

Today, as usual, when he came down, the old man and his father, who were very paternal, were sitting in the upper and lower seats, and they were communicating over breakfast

"Young Master Sun, you're early. Why do you still want to go to the company today? After summoning a servant and instructing him to make him a breakfast according to the previous standard, Fauber asked with a smile.

Sitting down next to Lin Xiaoyi, he threw the newspaper on the table, pulled out the bench and sat down, "The company has something to do, it seems that a new movie is going to be made, I have been busy these past few days, I don't care, anyway, I have nothing to do after resting!" ”

“…… Grandpa, in the past two days, several old customers from the bank have re-applied for loans with us. However, given their poor financial performance during the stock market crash last year, I think it is risky to continue to lend to them, so I am not in favor of lending them at this time. Moreover, the loan amount requested by these old customers is not small, and the time is relatively long! ”

After nodding hello to Lin Xiaozhi, the eldest brother Lin Xiaoyi also joined in the conversation of several people.

"Which old customers? How much loan do they want, for a few years? ”

"Lu Song Trading, which has two fish ball canning factories in the New Territories, needs a loan of 3 million, but it will take three years, and they are ready to expand a factory in Fujian to open up the mainland market; Wing On Department Store wants a loan of 5.4 million yuan, which will take four years, and they are ready to add a department store in Kowloon......"

"It's been a long time, but don't be in a hurry to refuse, a lot of people outside are waiting to see how we perform......"

Lin Xiaozhi couldn't interject in the conversation between the three, so he could only flip through the newspaper boringly.

But when he opened a few newspapers in a row, there was no eye-catching news, and he just glanced at it casually. It wasn't until he saw the last copy of the "Oriental Daily" that he finally saw a piece of news in the entertainment section that made his eyes light up, "After a year of silence, Wu Yusen, who has been rumored to have intensified the conflict with Xu Ke for a year, will prepare to make a new movie, and it is reported that Wu Yusen's new film is called "Bloody Heroes", this newspaper has called Xu Ke's studio to ask about the start date of filming, and has not received any reply from Xu Ke's studio. The former golden partner is now intensifying again, and Xu Ke may not pay for "Bloody Heroes"! ”

"Bloody Heroes" is about to start filming?

Lin Xiaozhi's spirit was shocked, Xu Ke and Wu Yusen are both the top directors in the Chinese film industry, and they both say that there are no secrets in the entertainment industry, and the contradictions between the two of them are in the era of the information explosion, which has been spread all over the Internet as early as possible.

In Hong Kong in the 70s, the most popular directors were Zhang Che, Chu Yuan, and Luo Wei, and among the three, Zhang Che was the most popular and shot the most movies. Wang Yu, Jiang David, Li Xiuxian, Guo Chai, Dillon, Chen Guantai each became famous, and Wu Yusen, who was also from Zhang Che's disciple, was depressed at the time, until he switched to Jiahe, which became an instant hit.

In 1980, three young people approached their friend Wu Yusen and asked him to help direct their film company after its reorganization. Wu Yusen, who has always emphasized righteousness, is naturally difficult but enthusiastic, but because he has an appointment with Golden Harvest, he had to secretly make two movies for the company under ———the pseudonym "Wu Shangfei", these two movies are "Modern Heavenly Master" and "Funny Times", which broke the box office record in Hong Kong that year, and the company is the "New Art City" that led the trend of Hong Kong films in the 80s, and those three young people are the later famous Mecca, Shi Tian, and Huang Baiming.

The two films brought more than 10 million net profits to Xinyicheng, found the first pot of gold for Xinyicheng, and laid a solid foundation for Wu Yusen's future glory. However, in the face of the sincere invitation of Xinyicheng, he could not join because Golden Harvest's contract had not expired. Seeing that Xinyicheng was distressed by the difficulty of finding a director, Wu Yusen suddenly remembered his old friend Xu Ke, whom he had always admired, so he proposed to Mecca to use the New Wave director who had already made three loss-making films at that time. Despite their doubts, Mecca and others finally adopted Wu Yusen's opinion, and as a result, Xu Ke's first modern comedy film "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Stars" directed by Xinyicheng was unexpectedly popular and popular, and he won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Director, and Xu Ke's film career has been bright and soaring since then.

Seeing that his friend was successful and lucky, Wu Yusen himself began to be unlucky. Comedies such as "Eight Colors Lin Yazhen" filmed for Golden Harvest can no longer regain their former box office glory. After the expiration of the Golden Harvest, he went to the new art city where many friends gathered, but at that time, the new art city was no longer the dilapidated small company that needed the big three to come to the door in person to ask him to make a film, and the new art city that had just received a huge investment from the golden princess was rich in capital and fierce generals, and the seven tigers of the new art city almost monopolized the vast majority of film shooting, Wu Yusen couldn't even receive the film for a while, and after the last, he was sent to Taiwan to open up a new market.

Most of the movies in Xinyicheng are comedies, and Wu Yusen went to Taiwan to shoot comedies, at this time, the trend of following the trend has risen, and after several failures in a row, he began to think about transformation, and after a year of repeated polishing, "The True Color of Heroes" came into being. Wu Yusen then returned to Hong Kong with the script to contact the three giants of the new art city to ask for investment, but was categorically rejected by the three giants.

During the Spring Festival of 1986, the film "The True Colors of Heroes" cooperated by two old friends received rave reviews after its release, and the box office also set the highest record since the opening of Hong Kong. Wu Yusen also raised his eyebrows and became a popular director in the Hong Kong film industry again, and Golden Harvest Company even took out the old Wu's gunfight film "Heroes Without Tears", which had been hidden for many years, to screen it in order to get a piece of the pie.

The huge commercial success of "The True Color of Heroes" also made Xu Ke decide to start filming a sequel and make another profit, but Wu Yusen did not approve of this quick success. Out of gratitude to his old friend, he still actively participated in the creation of the sequel script. However, what no one expected was that the two had a big disagreement when conceiving the sequel to "True Colors of Heroes", and Wu Yusen created a prequel about the friendship between Pony and Brother Hao. But at this time, Shi Tian, another major shareholder of Xu Ke Studios and one of the three giants of Xinyicheng, expressed his intention to invest in this film, but he wanted to play a role in the movie. Xu Ke immediately brought in the fast gunner Ni Mad, changed Wu Yusen's original script into a sequel, created a twin brother for Pony, and shoehorned an important role for Shi Tian, "True Colors of Heroes 2" has been changed beyond recognition. In the end, Wu Yusen made a compromise.

Last year, "The True Colors of Heroes 2" was still hot at the box office with the first episode of Yu Wei, but unfortunately this movie was only shot to make money was naturally not as good as the first one, and the word of mouth was rapidly declining after its release.

The box office and word-of-mouth of "True Colors of Heroes 2" plummeted, which was considered by Wu Yusen to be the result of Xu Ke's quick success. Therefore, after the release of "True Colors of Heroes 2", when Xu Ke asked him again to immediately make the script of "True Colors of Heroes 3", he categorically refused. Out of support for his friends, Zhou Runfa also rejected Xu Ke's invitation to "The True Colors of Heroes 3", which quickly intensified the contradiction between Xu and Wu, and Xu Ke, who was extremely controlling, was very dissatisfied with Wu Yusen's practice of 'setting up another mountain', especially intolerable for him to incite Zhou Yanfa to openly confront himself.

As a result, the director of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" that Xu Ke was originally going to hand over to Wu Yusen for filming became Cheng Xiaodong, and Wu Yusen was completely blocked by Xu Ke's internal blockade, so that after his "Bloody Heroes" script was created, because Xu Ke refused to invest, he could only run around to contact investment.

"'Bloody Heroes'?"

His eyes couldn't help narrowing, at this moment, he was the only one who knew that after this movie, the former Xu Wu golden partner would be completely split into mortal enemies, and the two fought from Hong Kong to Hollywood, competing for nearly 20 years. With the departure of Wu Yusen, it has also officially ushered in the most important investment in Hong Kong films by Taiwanese capital, and the most glorious five years of Hong Kong films are coming.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Xiaozhi's blood boiled with excitement, although the three giants of the new art city are not in harmony, but with the support of the Kowloon Lei family, the new art city still holds the throne of Hong Kong's largest film company, but the foundation has been shaken; The only one behind the wealthy family, the consortium, the general trend of the strong support of Golden Harvest is still wearing its millennium hat, the boss Zou Wen is ambitious, based in Hong Kong to seek a new market in the United States, if his determination is greater, maybe it will be a different picture; The Shaw Brothers have completely declined, although the former movie mogul Shaw Yifu has made up another ' Metropolitan Films', but with TVB, the most influential TV station in Chinese, his heart is no longer on the movie, even if the Met one day emits a dazzling light, it is just a return to the glory of a former film empire; and Debao, after relying on the influence of movies to spread his company's brand influence to the whole Southeast Asia, the famous brand king Pan Disheng is also content, and after holding the beauty, he has played enough of the movie deck......

The old Big Four are waiting to choose between a new life or disappearing in the long river of history, and the new Big Three Golden Harvest is still doing the choice of Zou Wenhuai's ambition and determination; Yongsheng has not yet washed off the black marks on his body, and the Xiang brothers have not yet realized what a wonderful step they have taken by invading the film industry; As for Xu Ke's studio, it is also about to usher in the split of Xu Wu's golden partner, and with the arrival of a reborn, it is still unknown whether it can inherit most of the legacy of Xinyi City as it has done in history?

1988 was the best of times!
