Xu Anhua's skin is very rough and her appearance is average, but her eyes are very sharp, and with her short ear-length hair, she exudes a capable temperament.

This is the third time Xu Anhua has seen Kang Jianfei, the first time was when she was filming "Crazy Robbery", Kang Jianfei went to the crew to find Zhao Yazhi to star in "Shanghai Tang", at that time Kang Jianfei was just an assistant director who had just been valued by Wang Tianlin; The second meeting was on the plane to Taipei to attend the Golden Horse Awards, Kang Jianfei has become a famous director and film company owner.

After Xu Anhua handed over the drama of "The Story of Hu Yue" to Kang Jianfei, he began to seriously look at the famous young man in front of him with some curiosity. Today's Kang Jianfei has a little more temperament than when they met last year, and Xu Anhua can't tell what this temperament is, or the temperament of the so-called successful person.

Kang Jianfei watched the drama very quickly, and it only took more than 20 minutes to watch the whole drama. Although he had planned to invest in the filming of this art film, Kang Jianfei still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Ms. Xu, I said last time we met that a movie that can make money in my eyes is a good movie. When you make this film, I'm afraid not many Hong Kong audiences like to watch it. ”

It's going to be rejected again......

Although Xu Anhua was mentally prepared before she came, she was still a little disappointed when she heard Kang Jianfei say this.

Kang Jianfei saw her lost expression, and suddenly smiled again: "However, it's okay to make this movie and win awards, for Sister Zhi's sake, I accepted the drama." How much budget are you going to have? ”

Xu Anhua said: "Not much, 1.5 million. ”

Due to the rise in prices and labor, the production of films is also rising. Today's investment of 1.5 million is almost equivalent to 1 million when Kang Jianfei filmed "Happy Ghost", so you can imagine how fast Hong Kong's economic development has been in the past two years.

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, but the hero and heroine are up to me." ”

Xu Anhua listened. I was suddenly a little dissatisfied in my heart, but after thinking about it, since Kang Jianfei was rushing to win the award, he naturally wanted to use this film to support the actor of Dream Factory. That's a reasonable thing to do.

Xu Anhua asked: "Who does Mr. Kang let be the hero and heroine?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Zhou Yanfa plays Hu Yue, Zhong Chuhong plays Shen Qing, Hui Yinghong plays Li Lijun, and Wu Mengda plays Ah San." ”

Xu Anhua is more satisfied with Zhou Runfa, Wu Mengda and Zhong Chuhong, but the actor of the second female is not very in line with her wishes, saying: "Hui Yinghong has always been a fighting woman, can she be competent to play this kind of art film?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "In terms of acting, there are no bad actors, only bad directors. Ms. Xu, do you know what I mean? ”

Kang Jianfei is an investor. Xu Anhua could only give in: "Okay." Just the four of them. ”

Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong.

More than a dozen passengers in rustic sportswear walked out. The chatter along the way kept talking, attracting many people's side eyes.

These people all speak Mandarin and are obviously from the mainland. And there are two or three bald heads, which look really eye-catching.

This group is the Chinese martial arts exchange group. The deputy head of the troupe is Yu Hai, a martial arts coach, and the head of the troupe is Zhang Ling, an official from the Hong Kong and Macao Office of the State Council/State Council/Academy.

Yu Hai is the one who played Tanzong in "Shaolin Temple", who has been performing with the Chinese martial arts troupe since the 60s, and has visited more than 30 countries before and after, and is now the captain and head coach of the Shandong/East Wushu team.

This time, the position of the deputy head of the Chinese martial arts exchange group came to be the captain of the Beijing/Beijing team, but I didn't expect Deng Gong to remember such a person as Yu Hai and appointed him as the head of the group.

The film "Shaolin Temple" was filmed last year after discussion by zhōngyāng and in the name of the State Council/State Council/Yuan invited Zhang Xinyan, director of the Hong Kong Great Wall Film Company, to shoot it, with the aim of increasing contact with the outside world and improving the impression of China in the hearts of people in other Asian countries.

Zhang Xinyan started casting for the film last year, and only started filming two months ago, and now it is only two-thirds of the way down with Jīng's meticulous work.

Due to the urgency of zhōngyāng, Zhang Xinyan had no choice but to stop filming halfway and release people, and wait for Li Lianjie and Yu Hai to return from the Hong Kong exchange performance before continuing filming.

The people in charge of picking up the martial arts troupe at the airport were people from the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency and the Great Wall Film Company, and the last dozen or so people left the airport in the Great Wall Company's filming car.

"Wow, this is Hong Kong, there are so many high-rise buildings."

"There are a lot of cars, but there are fewer bicycles than běijīng, so Hong Kong people don't ride bicycles when they go out?"

"You see that car has no roof, and it's running so fast!"

“……”

In the martial arts exchange group, more than half of the martial arts athletes came out for the first time, lying behind the car window and chattering.

"Quiet, quiet!" Zhang Ling, the head of the regiment, was so loud that these teenage little guys couldn't help it, and shouted several times before everyone was stopped, and said, "You remember, the martial arts exchange group is to communicate on behalf of the party and zhèngfǔ, and your words and deeds represent the dignity and decency of the country." Therefore, after arriving at the hotel later, it is strictly forbidden to make loud noises, and if you don't understand anything, ask me and Coach Yu, and don't damage the hotel's property. During the martial arts exchange visit, it is strictly forbidden to accept gifts from Hong Kong compatriots without permission, and if others really want to give them, all gifts must be handed over to the ......"

As soon as Zhang Ling said on the phone, the martial arts athletes who had just made a fuss like sparrows were all sitting upright and not squinting, like a monk who had meditated and settled.

After arriving at the hotel, the martial arts team members were arranged to go to various rooms, and someone from the Xinhua branch handed over an invitation to Zhang Ling and said: "Hong Kong compatriots know that you want to come and invite you to attend the premiere of the movie." ”

Although Zhang Ling is an official of the Hong Kong and Macao office, he usually only receives some Hong Kong and Macao news from Xinhua News Agency, and he himself is the first time to come to Hong Kong, so he got the invitation and asked curiously: "What is the movie premiere?" ”

A comrade from the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency explained: "It was a celebration held when a film made by Jīng Liang was screened for the first time. ”

Zhang Ling felt very strange that a ceremony was held for the release of the movie, and he secretly laughed at the extravagance and waste of Hong Kong people. However, he belonged to the zhèngfǔ official, and he would not speak casually, but began to look through the invitations.

It wasn't until he saw Kang Jianfei's name that Zhang Ling asked in surprise: "Is that Kang Jianfei who is on the internal reference?" ”

The comrades of the Hong Kong branch nodded and said: "It's him, his new film "Dao Ma Dan" premiered the day after tomorrow, and invited all the members of the entire martial arts exchange group to participate. ”

Zhang Ling said strangely: "How could he take the initiative to invite us?" ”

The comrade smiled bitterly and said, "How do I know the Dao? He's the owner of the film company, so it's reasonable to try to avoid getting involved with you. ”

Zhang Ling smiled: "Since others are not afraid, of course we can't spoil the fun." After speaking, Zhang Lingchong, deputy head of the troupe, Yu Haidao, "Coach Yu, let the players rest well tonight, don't let them run around, there will be a martial arts exchange performance tomorrow, go to familiarize yourself with the venue in the morning, and officially perform in the afternoon." There is no task the day after tomorrow, you can take everyone around Hong Kong, but you must be careful of the impact and don't get lost. There was a movie premiere in the evening and everyone went to the movies together......"

While the two were talking, more than a dozen young martial arts team members were surrounding Li Lianjie and asked, "Xiao Li, you have been to Hong Kong alone, tell us about what's fun here?" ”

Li Lianjie said with a bitter face: "I've said it many times, I was only 8 years old when I last came to Hong Kong, where do I remember clearly?" ”

Team member Gao Hong said: "I remember things at the age of 8, so I remember a little bit." ”

Li Lianjie said: "I really forgot ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Hai, who had a shaved head, pushed the door in and said, "There will be a performance tomorrow, and I will take you to Hong Kong to watch a movie the day after tomorrow......"

"Oh!!!" The team cheered collectively.

On July 26, 1981, "Dao Ma Dan" held its premiere at the Golden Princess Cinema.

At the same time, there was a strange incident in the Hong Kong film industry that shattered the glasses of countless people:

In order to snipe Princess Jin, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, two former friends and now sworn enemies, actually announced that they had joined forces.

Produced by Shaw Brothers Pictures and directed by Yuan Heping, "The Brave and Fearless", a week after its release in Golden Harvest Cinemas, suddenly promoted and released in both Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Cinemas at the same time. This film, which only has a box office of 5.61 million in the parallel space, has already earned 6.47 million box office before the release of "Sword and Horse".

"The Brave and Fearless" is about to be painted, and Cheng Long's "Young Master Dragon" is scheduled to premiere on the same day as "Sword and Horse", and a grand premiere was also held, which is also a double-line joint screening of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

Kang Jianfei couldn't cry or laugh after knowing the news, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest had obvious ideas, using Yuan Heping's "The Brave and Fearless" against Chen Rongmei Investment, Wu Yusen's "Modern Heavenly Master", Cheng Long's "Young Master Long" against Kang Jianfei's "Dao Ma Dan", Hong Jinbao's "Bad Officer Hitting the Ghost" against Mecca's "Best Partner", and Wu Siyuan's "Ah Can's Errand" against Zeng Zhiwei's "Mr. Zombie 2".

The three largest cinema chains in Hong Kong, now Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Lianwu Kangcao, have naturally become the topic of tracking and reporting by entertainment media.

In the first round of the theater war, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest won completely, because the box office of Wu Yusen's "Modern Heavenly Master" was only more than 4 million, which was a lot less than the box office of "The Brave and Fearless".

The second round of the theater battle is Cheng Long's "Young Master Long" vs. Kang Jianfei's "Sword and Horse". The propaganda war between the two movies during this period was also fierce, TVB made Cheng Long appear on several TV shows in a row, and the three daughters of Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong also frequently appeared in Lishi as "Dream Three Girls".

Beauties are always more attractive, not to mention the three stunning beauties, when Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin, and Zhong Chuhong appeared at the same time for the first time as the cover girls of "Oriental Fashion", that issue of "Oriental Fashion" was sold out. And the portraits and promotional posters of the three girls are now flying all over the streets, and they can be bought casually for only one dollar.
