As we all know, although Cheng Long and Sammo Hung are the most famous martial arts stars in Hong Kong, the reason why they can become famous is not only half of their own strength, but also half of them are due to the fact that they each have a first-class team in Hong Kong, that is, the Cheng family class of the famous Asia, and the 'Hong family class,'.

The Hong Kong film industry is different from the all-round development of the American film industry, and it is a very deformed market. In the United States, from makeup to props, from action design to lighting, photography, behind-the-scenes soundtrack, etc., everyone is an inseparable part of a movie, and they may not be as good as stars in terms of income, but they are not below stars in terms of social recognition and respect.

In fact, it is not only American movies, but also many European countries. The most obvious manifestation of this difference is that European and American films will set aside a few minutes or even as long as ten minutes at the end to explode the list of personnel of the behind-the-scenes team. And this point, Hong Kong films are also very late to follow suit, but compared with the approach of the film industry in Europe and the United States, it is more like doing a superficial project, and in private in the film industry, except for stars, directors and producers, even screenwriters are not respected, let alone the behind-the-scenes team.

Cheng Long's Cheng family class has always been first-class in Hong Kong earlier, and the scale is also first-class, with nearly 200 people at its peak, including fighting stars, comedic stars, dragon and tiger martial artists, flying car stunts, blasters, various types of extras, etc. However, in response to Golden Harvest's strategy of entering Hollywood for him, Cheng Jiaban has laid off four people since 84, and by the time "Flying Eagle Planning" started filming, there were less than 70 people.

And Cheng Long has strict requirements for Cheng Jiaban, in the early years, people in Cheng's class were not allowed to shoot private scenes, but later, although he turned a blind eye after being complained by several old brothers, he still did not support Sammo Hung like him. And once it is found that the movies shot by the people of Cheng's family class collided with their own works released at the same time, those who took private jobs would inevitably be scolded and even deducted from their salaries. Therefore, the relationship between Cheng Long and the Cheng family class he created is not as harmonious as it is in the outside world.

Sammo Hung 's Hong family class was more famous than Cheng Jiaban in his early years, he was a person who had been with Bruce Lee for a period of time, and the Hong family class did bring together a lot of cattle people, such as Lin Zhengying, Yuan Hua, Wu Ma, Qian Xiaohao, Yuan Biao, Zhong Fa, Ni Xing, Di Wei, etc., Golden Green Leaf, first-class star, first-class anti-angle and comedy star team, Hong Jiaban may not be as good as Cheng Long's Cheng family class in terms of quantity, but the single quality is still above Cheng Long's Cheng family class.

Before reconciling the scandal between Chen Baiqiang and Weng Jingjing, Lin Xiaozhi got acquainted with Liu Jialiang, and after recognizing his daughter as a deed girl, the relationship between the two became more intimate. It is precisely seeing this change that Lin Xiaozhi has long set his sights on the 'Yuan Family Class, the Cheng Family Class, and the 'Hung Family Class', the three most famous behind-the-scenes teams in Hong Kong.

Relying on Yuan Heping's group of brothers and nephews, the Yuan family class is the most united, after Huanya tried to poach from the Yuan family class several times and was frustrated, Lin Xiaozhi also rested that thought, anyway, Yuan Heping is easy to talk, a good script and enough money are enough, and he can be recruited to film at any time.

Because of his good personal relationship with Sammo Hung and Cheng Long, Lin Xiaozhi was still embarrassed to do it before, so he could only send someone to contact some of them privately. But now Cheng Long's Weihe, Sammo Hung's Baohe, and Baoxiang have all been merged into Jiahe, and Jiahe has begun to stumble on him again, and with this reason, his actions have become decisive and ferocious.

Wielding hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars of funds to poach, after offering a high price that Golden Harvest could not give, it only took a week for Lin Xiaozhi to pack and poach Lin Zhengying, Wu Ma, Qian Xiaohao, Zhong Fa, Ni Xing, Di Wei, Zhou Runjian, Lu Huiguang and other 37 people. The Cheng family is not in the same class, relying on Cheng Long, who is in the year of fighting, Huanya has only recruited a few ambitious artists. But Sammo Hung's Hong family class was almost covered by Lin Xiaozhi for most of the pillars, Qian Jiale came forward to persuade his brother Qian Xiaohao, and Yuan Kui, who had a personal relationship with Lin Xiaozhi, also pulled down his face to meet Yuan Hua and Lin Zhengying, especially Lin Zhengying, after getting Lin Xiaozhi's three-year contract for six movies of 4 million Hong Kong dollars, he decisively abandoned Sammo Hung, who had not filmed for a long time, and defected to Media Asia.

“…… Sanmao, what's going on with your Hongjia class? ”

Before Golden Harvest could react, Sammo Hung was wiped out by Media Asia, and He Guanchang still saw the news from the newspaper and hurriedly called Sammo Hung to ask about the situation.

"I only learned about it in the past two days, Uncle Chang."

Looking at the newspaper in front of him, Sammo Hung shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's also my fault for this, after I got a green card last year and was ready to immigrate to the United States, although the Hong family class was not disbanded immediately, people were panicked, and they were all looking for a way." I thought that after I came to Jiahe, everyone would let go of their worries, so I neglected to appease the people of the Hong family...

After a pause, he continued: "Listening to Ah Ying, it was Lin Sheng who asked Ah Le to contact Yin Sheng (Yuan Kui). Ah Le had followed me before, but he went to New Asia in the RR year. Huanya is really generous this time, almost everyone in our Hong family class received a contract, and A-Ying alone received a contract of four million, no wonder he ran away......"

There was only frustration in the words......

"The Rich Corps", which was invested in mid-89, lost money to his grandmother's house when it was released during the Chinese New Year last year, and he relied on favors to attract a large number of stars to achieve such a result, coupled with the successive setbacks in investing in movies in the past few years, Sammo Hung was gloomy, and he had the idea of leaving the film industry and immigrating to the United States. As a result, although he did not immigrate immediately, he did not invest in another film for a full year last year.

There are dozens of people in the Hong family's class, and everyone wants to eat. He Sammo Hung has been in the industry for 20 years and has made a lot of money and is ready to emigrate, which does not mean that other people in the Hong family class do not eat the bowl of movies, so last year, many people in the Hong family class began to find their own way, and this Sammo Hung also knew the way, but he was ready to immigrate at that time, although he did not take the initiative to mention the dissolution of the Hong family class, but he did not block himself from taking private work and finding a way below.

At the beginning of the year, He Guanchang personally came to contact him, intending to let him return to Golden Harvest to take over himself, He Guanchang is preparing to retire in the next two years, and the future of the huge Golden Harvest can not be supported only by Zou Minhuai and his unsuccessful daughter, Sammo Hung is the future president he selected for Golden Harvest.

Xu was influenced by the big butterfly of Media Asia, Sammo Hung accepted He Guanchang's kindness, not only agreed to merge his Baohe, Baoxiang and other film companies with Golden Harvest, and became a shareholder of Golden Harvest, but also joined Golden Harvest to temporarily dispel the idea of immigration. But as he said, he didn't expect that a group of people from the Hong family's class would still be poached.

He Guanchang knew that he was kind, and he had a very good personal relationship with Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hua, so he would not pursue this matter. Hearing this, he couldn't help sighing, pointed at him and shook his head: "You, alas, fortunately, now Zou Sheng has gone to the United States to personally supervise the release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", Golden Harvest is now on the market, more is better than less, this is to wait for him to come back in advance......"

Although He Guanchang didn't know that this was Media Asia's way of paying tribute to Golden Harvest's interference in the casting of "Black Hero", with Zou Minhuai fully operating Golden Harvest, the old rivals Shaw Brothers and Debao were discontinued and merged one by one, and Princess Jin and Xinyicheng were still in a state of recovery, and Media Asia has become Golden Harvest's primary competitor at this time. Since they are competitors, it is not uncommon for each other to poach each other......

At this moment, He Guanchang, who had already put all his energy into the preparation of the last day before the listing of Golden Harvest, did not notice it at all, so they had the opportunity to close the gap between Media Asia and Golden Harvest for the last time.

“…… Time waits for no one, Li Lianjie can't take over the play, forget it, the actor of "Black Man" has changed to Donnie Yen, I hope Xu Sheng, you can carve him with your heart. This is a very good seedling, but his set of kung fu to take the foreigner route makes the audience who are used to watching the fancy not buy it very much, Xu Sheng, you need to spend a little more effort to train it. I also watched "Once Upon a Time" just now, and the filming location was very good. It's not convenient for us to contact Princess Jin, but you can bring a message, we are going to release this movie in early August, and the premiere time is set between August 4th and 7th, depending on their arrangements......"

The day before the decision to start "Black Man", Xu Ke came to the Kowloon Bank Building to see Lin Xiaozhi again, not only to bring him the final cast list and his slightly revised script, but also to bring the newly completed post-production "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun".

Xu Ke nodded, he heard that Donnie Yen had just signed a five-year contract with Media Asia a few days ago, and the lord in front of him was waving banknotes everywhere not long ago to poach people, and the means were ruthless and fast to poach dozens of powerful stars in a very short period of time, obviously to retaliate for Golden Harvest's previous meddling in the casting of "Black Hero", which caused a lot of discussion in the circle. Donnie Yen is now a member of Media Asia, and it is natural for Lin Xiaozhi to let him take care of him more.

I couldn't help but think of my friend Li Lianjie who missed the play "Black Man", and he sighed secretly, feeling that it was not worth it for him to look away this time.

"I will contact Princess Jin, and after the coordination is completed, I will inform Lin Sheng again when the time comes, thank you Lin Sheng for not pursuing it this time, ......"

During this time, he walked around more diligently, and after gradually getting acquainted with Xu Laowei's temperament, Lin Xiaozhi found that although Xu Ke was always criticized by the outside world, he was actually not difficult to get along with. Seeing that he was still thinking about the fact that he had broken the contract and privately promised to put "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" in the Golden Princess Cinema for co-screening, he smiled and disagreed: "If one more theater is screened, the box office will be better, and I am also an investor in the movie, so I will be reluctant to make more money." By the way, Xu Sheng, I think the box office of the "Huang Feihong" you filmed is promising, Guan Dexing's version of "Huang Feihong" has been filmed dozens of films, do you have such an idea to also make Li Lianjie's version of "Huang Feihong" into a series? ”

Xu Ke's face remained unchanged, obviously he had already thought about it. However, listening to him take the initiative to mention it, Xu Ke is not a stupid person, and after turning his words into his ears, he tasted the deep meaning of his words, and then said: "I have such an idea, but I have to wait for the box office to see the reaction of the audience after the release ......of "Huang Feihong", although it is more vulgar to talk about money, but if the movie loses money, it is okay not to shoot it."

Lin Xiaozhi smiled when he heard this, "Huang Feihong" will not make money, just kidding......

The reborn man clearly remembers that it was with this movie that Xu Ke once played the golden sign of Hong Kong's highest-grossing commercial film director. The film created an astonishing total box office of nearly 3.6 billion yen from Japan, won the most Chinese film of 5.6 billion won in South Korea, and swept away a total box office of nearly 200 million Hong Kong dollars in Southeast Asian countries, allowing Li Lianjie to replace Kwan Tak Hing as the new image of 'Wong Fei Hung'.

And historically, it is precisely because Xu Ke's "Huang Feihong" series is so profitable that it has caused a lot of contradictions. In the end, under the tripartite conflict between Golden Harvest, Xu Ke and Li Lianjie, Li Lianjie finally sent only a few films and no longer took on the "Huang Feihong" series, and Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, Zhao Wenzhuo and other successors, none of them could shoot a better effect, but they still earned countless popularity with this series.

But none of this will happen now, because the second method that Lin Xiaozhi is going to use to deal with Golden Harvest is to make it never participate in the "Once Upon a Time" series. Because Media Asia is ready to make a move, the "Once Upon a Time" series directed by Xu Ke and him will become one of the classic series of Media Asia in the future.
