Chapter 566: Cai Ziming's Shooting

Because of "Shaolin Temple", Li Lianjie, a Chinese action movie superstar who became famous in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, once went to the United States for a time after his star career in Hong Kong was bleak after going to Hong Kong in the 80s. But since Xu Ke was re-invited to return to Hong Kong to shoot "Wong Fei Hung", relying on the wave of new martial arts films set off by him, the momentum quickly overshadowed him a few years ago, and he became a kung fu superstar who moved half of Asia again, and at the same time made him one of the new box office guarantees in Hong Kong, which also made Li Lianjie the focus of interest competition for all parties

In this battle around Li Lianjie, Lin Xiaozhi knew his future future, so after he was just invited back to Hong Kong by Xu Ke, he took advantage of the time difference between Luo Dawei and the Jiahe that had been pitted by Li Lianjie. After a few times, Li Lianjie also had a good impression of him and Media Asia, and naturally it was even more impossible to get closer to Jiahe, who looked down on him.

So in this life, Luo Dawei did not make a lot of money because of "Huang Feihong" (if you are interested, you can search for 'David Luo and Jet Li, see, the Tianya version has the highest credibility, and other versions have some misinformation), so he was even more dissatisfied with Li Lianjie, who did not obey his arrangement and chose to cooperate with Media Asia instead of with Golden Harvest, which exacerbated the conflict between the two. As a result, not long after the start of "Once Upon a Time", he threatened Luo Dawei to use the overlord contract to trap him, forcibly terminated the ten-year long-term agent contract with him, and replaced Cai Ziming, a wealthy Dutch businessman and owner of Fuyi Film Production Company, who has always favored him, as his new agent.

To say that Cai Ziming also has some ability and vision, he saw that "Once Upon a Time" set off a wave of 'Chinese kung fu frenzy' in Asia, and even some of his foreigner friends praised it. After accompanying him throughout the filming of "Huang Feihong", I felt that he had the talent to become an internationally renowned Chinese kung fu superstar like Cheng Long who was highly praised by Golden Harvest, Zhou Run who was highly praised by New Art City, and Liu Dehua who was highly praised by Media Asia. At the same time, he sent people to the United States to meet at a high price, although he was squeezed out of a lot of popularity by Schwarzenegger, but he was still the manager of the American action superstar Stallone, who managed to persuade him to match Stallone and Li Lianjie to prepare to shoot a blockbuster that could help him enter Hollywood. (It is nonsense on the Internet that Cai Ziming invited Stallone to shoot "New Dragon Gate Inn" with Li Lianjie, I watched Li Lianjie's interview with "Hero" a few years ago, and he personally mentioned in the interview that his former agent had arranged for him to cooperate with Stallone to make a hard-hitting modern action blockbuster).

It's a pity that he died before he left the school, Li Lianjie's "Huang Feihong" had just finished filming and was released, but Cai Ziming fell forever in front of the door of Fuyi Film Production Company one day in mid-August, with a few gunshots.

The anti-gang storm in Hong Kong caused by the "Huang Langwei Incident" has just started, and another gunshot accompanied by an evil wind blew out of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, which not only tore open the glamorous sugar packets wrapped in Hong Kong stars and entertainment circles, revealing the dirt and filth inside, but also made the voices of all walks of life in Hong Kong for anti-crime unprecedentedly high.

Cai Ziming, who is it, a week ago, not only did not many people in the whole of Hong Kong know this name, but even in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, there are not many people who know him. But this name soon became the focus of attention in Hong Kong like 'Huang Langwei', after Huang Langwei, the owner of Tiancheng Pictures with a background not long ago, was shot dead, Cai Ziming, a man with a similar background, also fell in a burst of gunshots, which immediately made the anger in the hearts of all walks of life in Hong Kong, who had been perennially conservative and mafia-infested, even more angry.

"Is it heaven or hell, the entertainment industry staged another shocking bloody case, Cai Ziming, the owner of Fuyi Film Production Company, was tragically shot and killed by the murderer, with nine shots and five headshots, and his death was unbearable"

"The Hong Kong police community is shaken again, the East Kowloon District Police Station summoned the superstar Li Lianjie for questioning, and there is news that the new homicide owner Cai Ziming is his agent"

"The amazing background is exposed again, the Dutch rich businessman Cai Ziming is really a 14k boss, and there is news that he is a brother with a 14k boss."

The inside story was exposed, Cai Ziming was suspected of dying of murder, and the police confirmed that the murderer was ruthless and killed with guns. It is reported that the murderer behind the scenes is Li Lianjie's former agent Luo Dawei"

"The son of the great director Luo Wei was involved in the 'Cai Ziming shooting case, Li Lianjie announced through his brother's mouth that his former agent Luo Dawei blackmailed him with an overlord contract, forcing him to make a film for free, implying that he was the murderer"

"Luo Dawei traveled to Thailand to refuse the police summons, and the great director Luo Wei held a press conference to criticize unscrupulous media reports, accusing the big star Li Lianjie of being ungrateful, eating inside and out, and saying that he believed that the police would return his son's innocence"

"The famous director Xu Ke admitted that the contract signed by Luo Dawei with Li Lianjie before was improper, and he confirmed that he had set up a bureau Li Lianjie to sign an overlord brokerage contract with him, and finally led the former brothers to disperse."

An insider revealed that Golden Harvest had contacted Luo Dawei and wanted to poach Li Lianjie for filming with a sky-high salary of tens of millions, but he was frustrated by the sniper poaching of Huanya. Luo Dawei was disgruntled and repeatedly instigated Li Lianjie to change jobs and was rejected, and Cai Ziming took the opportunity to intervene to become Li Lianjie's new agent"

"Zhang Sheng, it's time to get there"

A reminder from the driver sounded in his ears, and Zhang Guozhong slowly opened his eyes, but his frowning brows were not relieved at all.

Looking up at the two twin buildings that stood out in a low-rise building not far away, the expression on Zhang Guozhong's face softened slightly: "Having a rich boss is a good fate, the Hong Kong film industry is probably in a mess now, and there are only a few companies that can avoid this wave of turmoil."

He knew exactly where he was coming and what kind of person he was about to visit. But no one knows what the outcome will be, at least not himself

The driver opened the car door for him, Zhang Guozhong followed and got out of the car, and saw the eye-catching "Media Asia Group" signboard not far away, he carefully adjusted his clothes, and walked towards the two twin buildings with a little anxiety.

“…… It's not easy to be the president of the film association, how many have you done recently? ”

Lin Xiaozhi frowned and rubbed his temples, leaned his back against the brand-new leather sand in the reception room, lit a cigarette for himself, and asked in a deep voice. There is thought in the eyes, or it is more accurate to hesitate.

Sitting next to him was Chen Qiang, the president of Media Asia, who had just returned from Big 6 a week ago. Originally, Lin Xiaozhi gave him a death order, no matter what method their public relations team used, they must persuade Beiying and Northern Radio and Television to approve the introduction of his new movie "League of Assassins", and try to synchronize the release time with Hong Kong as much as possible.

Regarding the introduction of Lin Xiaozhi, the most successful commercial film director in Hong Kong and even the Chinese world, the new work "League of Assassins", Beiying is easy to talk to, and almost as soon as Media Asia mentioned it, they expressed their willingness to cooperate with the work of radio and television. However, Radio and Television did not criticize the inclusion of "League of Assassins" in the list of imported films, but they were reluctant to let go of their introduction time, and always had to act according to their own rules.

If it is really according to the old regulations of radio and television, "one sending, two trials, three cores, four batches, and five replies", it will take three or four months to do things quickly, and it will be difficult to say if it is slow, and maybe you won't give a letter for most of the year.

Because of his death order, Chen Qiang had to lead the team to stumble in Beijing for more than half a month, grinding hard and compromising, and at the same time moving public relations from all walks of life, almost using most of Lin Xiaozhi's connections that he had worked hard in the north in the past few years, and finally let Radio and Television relent, and agreed to a quick review and approval a few days ago, and agreed in principle that as long as it does not involve issues such as politics and ideology, he will not take "League of Assassins" lightly to practice.

Chen Qiang still has a lot of work in the hands of the president of Media Asia, and as soon as he loosened his mouth in the north, he immediately handed over the work to Zhu Zhishan, vice president and executive director of Media Asia, leaving him in the north to continue to keep an eye on the review process, and he went back to Hong Kong to deal with the accumulated work first. But he didn't expect that as soon as he came back, he encountered trouble, and the 'Huang Langwei incident' that caused a sensation in Hong Kong and Taiwan exploded.

Chen Qiang thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "I remember asking the boss to go out for tea six days ago, Wen Jun visited you four days ago, Deng Guangrong came twice in three days, who is this today?" ”

"Zhang Guozhong ......"

Chen Qiang was surprised when he heard this, "Artistic energy? What is he going to do, this wave of anti-black waves is not a bad thing for the Hong Kong film and television industry, hasn't the art energy been exposed several times and blackmailed on the road, shouldn't he hide and laugh now? ”

For the vigorous anti-gang in Hong Kong now, at this time it is just the 'Huang Langwei incident, at the beginning of the explosion, after seeing the Hong Kong government change a new governor, it finally made up its mind to sweep away' the underworld, which has plagued the Hong Kong entertainment industry for many years, and half of the artists in the entire industry who have been threatened by the underworld applauded the film company. Those who have not been bullied also applaud loudly because the people around them have had similar encounters, in short, except for a very small number of people who were immediately impacted when they came to the brunt, the vast majority of people have a positive attitude towards the Hong Kong government's fight against gangsters.

After all, since the late 70s, Hong Kong's triad has been constantly invading the entertainment industry, hoping to take it into their pockets, not only to make huge profits, but also to take advantage of the opportunity to launder money. Although this move was resisted and counterattacked by the industry, relying on the slow picture of more than ten years, by the early 90s, few film companies in Hong Kong dared to say that they did not use money from unknown sources to make movies.

In the more than ten years from the early 80s to the early 90s, this was the best and worst years for Hong Kong films. One is thriving, and the other is struggling in the dark, but no one notices that the film funds imported from the underworld have accounted for one-third or even more of the entire Hong Kong film investment.

Once this money is quickly withdrawn in a short period of time because of the Hong Kong government's anti-crime campaign, it will really be a big turmoil for the entire Hong Kong film industry, except for Golden Harvest and Media Asia, two film groups with good financial conditions, none of the other hundreds of film companies in Hong Kong will be spared, and they will inevitably fall into the crisis of breaking the chain of funds without money.

Although Chen Qiang is the president of Media Asia, his vision is obviously not comparable to that of the reborn who knows this period of Hong Kong film history.

Lin Xiaozhi also had scruples in his heart, so he suppressed the undecided thoughts in his heart and explained to him: "Although Zhang Guozhong debuted very early in the circle, his real deeds started as a manager for Zhou Yan. I admire him very much, in the 80s, he took the initiative to cut his share and help his own artists come forward to block things, and signed a lot of big-name stars. Because of this, he has been intimidated and threatened by all kinds of people, and he has been beaten up for this. His family used to pull Pan Disheng as a major shareholder, and later with us, which is just one of the means for him to find a balance. Mr. Chen, you must not have looked at the composition of Arts Eng's shares, of which about 13 Arts shares belong to Macau Cathay Pacific Company."

Seeing that he was still frowning and thinking, obviously not knowing what Cathay Pacific Company was, Lin Xiaozhi had no choice but to name it and said, "That's the real estate company under Yin Guoju's name......

"It's him......" Chen Qiang suddenly realized that he had never heard of an unknown real estate company in Macau, but it was impossible not to even know this big man who was known as the "little governor of Macau."

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Xiaozhi has been slow to start with art in the past few years, he has long been greedy for Zhang Guozhong's star resources and connections. However, after the complex shareholding structure of Yineng was revealed, even he couldn't figure out how the owner of the entertainment company with the ace agent was involved with the Macau bigwig, even if he held Hong Kong public opinion and was not afraid of the other party, but he was still very afraid of the underworld people who had many outlaws under him.

But now that Zhang Guozhong has found the door by himself, it is impossible for Lin Xiaozhi to close the door and not see him, he really wants to see what kind of medicine this brother and Andy's former agent are selling in the gourd
