After Cheng Long finished filming "Laughing Boxing Tricks", he went to Australia with a large amount of dividends and spent a happy Spring Festival with his father.

After returning from vacation, he immediately came to Xu Guanwu.

"Mr. Xu, what will I shoot in the next film?" As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Long couldn't wait to ask.

""Laughing Fist Tricks" has just been painted, and you are going to make a new film now? Don't exhaust yourself, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of this time to travel and open your eyes? Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, I just came back from Australia," Cheng Long said with a smile, "I just can't be idle, so let me start a film." You see that the big brother has now finished filming "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", and filmed "Tiger Field Chicken", and he has made a lot of money. I also want to make more money while I am young. ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Ah Long, I appreciate your momentum." This is a new script, I have prepared it for you a long time ago, take it. ”

"Really?! Mr. Xiexie Xu! Cheng Long was overjoyed when he heard this, quickly stood up, took the script with both hands, and saw two big characters "Drunken Fist" written on the cover.

"Drunken Fist?!" Cheng Long was slightly stunned, and when he opened it, he was telling the story of the young Huang Feihong.

Huang Feihong is the grandmaster of the Hongquan generation, and his disciples are all over the world, leaving behind many stories of chivalry and righteousness. Wong Fei Hung was also one of the first heroes to be put on the screen, as early as the fifties and sixties, more than 80 films about Wong Fei Hung were made in Hong Kong. Most of them are starring Guan Dexing and Shi Jian.

And Master Kwan Dexing is also regarded as the embodiment of Huang Feihong, meticulous, square, chivalrous, loyal and courageous, can be called a model of hero, a hero in people's minds.

But in the story of "Drunken Fist", Huang Feihong is a naughty naughty ghost, who has nothing to do, and even has the evil behavior of molesting the eldest girl. is completely different from the big hero played by Mr. Guan Dexing.

"Mr. Xu, is this the right shot?" Cheng Long read half of the script, and saw that this Huang Feihong was really stubborn, and he was worried that the audience in Hong Kong would not be able to accept it, so he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"In this movie, we are talking about the teenager Huang Feihong, naturally we want to show the enthusiastic and lively side of the teenager, do you want a young man of one or twenty years old, acting like a fifty or sixty-year-old man with such a straight look and a dull mood?" Xu Guanwu explained, "Besides, if you talk about orthodoxy, who can play the old man Dexing?" Since it can't be compared, it has to be changed, and a different Huang Feihong will be performed. This Huang Feihong will also be naughty, rebellious, hot-blooded, and impulsive, but he is not bad in nature, he will resist when he sees a bad guy, and he will take action when he sees injustice......"

"As soon as Mr. Xu said that, I understood." Cheng Long was not stupid in the end, and reacted immediately.

"You can teach, take it back and think about it, I'll wait for your good news." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Cheng Long happily took the script of "Drunken Fist" and left.

……

After "Laughing Boxing Tricks" and "Genius and Idiot" were painted, Gui Zhihong's "Cheng Ji Teahouse" and Hong Jingbao's "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" were released.

"Cheng Kee Teahouse" is a gangster-themed film, which profoundly reflects the reality of the bottom of Hong Kong society, gangsters are rampant, justice is difficult to apply, and the people are bullied.

After the filming of this movie, when it was sent to the electrical inspection department for review, it was unsurprisingly stuck.

The officials of the Electricity Inspection Department did not say that they would ban the film, but they did not say when it would be released, so they were detained there anyway and have not been returned for a long time.

Director Gui Zhihong went to the electrical inspection office every day and quarreled with the staff there, but he never came up with a reason.

forced Gui Zhihong to almost hire a barrister to go to the same court to fight a lawsuit with the Electricity Inspection Office.

"Director Gui, now you know my intention to delete that clip, right?" Xu Guanwu looked at Gui Zhihongdao, who was dejected.

The film couldn't pass the electric inspection, Gui Zhihong couldn't explain it to the boss, and his eyes were bloodshot these days.

"Boss, I think you only have you to get out of the way." Gui Zhihong's disgraced face.

He went to the electricity office to make trouble for a week, but he never gave him an explanation. When he went, he brought him a cup of tea, and let him ramble there, and people didn't say a word, so that Gui Zhihong was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

"Eat a trench and grow wise, next time try to shoot tactfully, after all, it is the British who are in power. If you shoot the dark side of others, they are naturally unwilling. Xu Guanwu admonished.

Gui Zhihong hit his head bag, and finally admitted it at this moment, "Boss, I'll try to pay attention next time." ”

Xu Guanwu nodded and came to the electrical inspection office with Gui Zhihong.

Because Xu Guanwu has the status of a "reserve Justice of the Peace", he has friendships with the Hong Kong Police Department and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and he is the owner of Hong Kong's largest newspaper, so his arrival alarmed the director of the Electrical Inspection Department.

Although the Electricity Inspection Department is not an important functional department, it directly chokes the throat of the film company, and no film can be released in Hong Kong without their approval.

Xu Guanwu didn't pay much attention to this department before, but now he realizes the huge power it has.

"Sister, why didn't you get in touch with them in the first place?" Xu Guanwu thought with some self-reproach.

"Mr. Xu, welcome." Although the Director of the Electrical Inspection Department is an Englishman, he has lived in Hong Kong for many years and speaks fluent Cantonese.

Xu Guanwu said Cantonese to foreigners no longer surprised, "Director Smith, hello, hello." ”

"I don't know what Mr. Xu is here today, why is it important?" Director Smith asked with a smile.

"Director Smith, I'm here to ask, our company has a movie, but it can't pass the inspection for a long time, I don't know what the reason is?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? What's the name of that movie, I'll help you ask. Director Smith had a look of ignorance on his face.

"Pu your aunt, pretend! Lao Tzu comes here eight times a day, do you know which movie it is? Gui Zhihong muttered and scolded in the back.

Xu Guanwu coughed lightly, "It's the film called "Cheng Ji Teahouse". ”

"Oh, I've got an impression, wait a minute, I'll check it for you right away." Director Smith said and opened the folder and found the censorship report of the movie, "Mr. Xu, your movie has too many violent scenes, and too much foul language, and there are some movie clips that are suspected of vilifying our Hong Kong police, and if it is released, it will damage the image of our Hong Kong British government." ”

"Mr. Smith, I think it's just a misunderstanding, and I think we can cut out some of these parts that might be misleading." Xu Guanwu said.

"That's good, in that case, you can take the copy back, and send it over when it's cut." Director Smith said.

"Director Smith, in order to save everyone's time, can you send an electrical inspector to accompany us to cut the film?" Xu Guanwu suggested.

"That's fine." Director Smith nodded in agreement.

Xu Guanwu retrieved the copy, and immediately worked with Gui Zhihong, under the guidance of the electrical inspector, to re-edit "Cheng Ji Teahouse". Some foul language, as well as satirical images of the British government in Hong Kong, have been removed.

And these pictures are exactly the parts that Xu Guanwu circled out to delete at the beginning.

"Mr. Xu, I would have listened to you if I had known, so I wouldn't have to be so troublesome." Gui Zhihong bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Your spirit of pursuing the perfection of movies is good, but the real society has limitations after all. Your film can't go beyond these rules. Xu Guanwu admonished.
