Chapter 184: The Movie (Oversized Chapter)

Life is like a boat, some people rely on pulp, some people rely on waves, and some people can only rely on their hands.

But no matter what you rely on, you can always experience several ups and downs, wind and waves.

Li Temple is in this state now.

He was a disciple of the White Mountain Martial Arts.

Martial arts disciples can be roughly divided into three types, the first is white, the second is black, and the third is neither black nor white, half black and half white.

Needless to say, most of them are children of rich families, with clean net worth, power and wealth, no need to hook up with the community, do the dirty work, and have enough financial resources to support the cultivation, only half of them are from poor backgrounds, doing hard labor, gritting their teeth, and are called "stones in the pit".

Needless to say, the black ones are basically from poor backgrounds, and the three generations of their ancestors are all bitter and haha old boys, in an environment like Kowloon City, they can only be an old boy, and they enter the martial arts hall in order to be able to take up positions in the community, so it can be said that they kill people and set fires, do all kinds of evil, and are an important source of strength for the community.

In the end, the situation is a little more complicated, they are mostly from poor families, and they don't have enough financial resources to practice martial arts, but they don't want to work hard, and they don't want to risk their lives to join the club, and do some things that fight and kill, and violate laws and disciplines.

So what to do?

can only hug his thighs in the martial arts hall, be a little brother, serve tea and water, meet the source left and right, and survive by patting the horse's ass.

The powerful and powerful senior brother of the martial arts hall is their main customer.

Li Temple falls into this category.

He doesn't dare to kill people and set fires, he can't bully men and women, he can only fake the tiger, pretend to be a dog-legged little brother, engage in bullying in the martial arts hall, bully and bully newcomers or something, it's not even the main force of bullying, it's just a background board for shouting and cheering.

It's not a big girl who does a big evil, but there are a lot of small evils, and she doesn't live very comfortably, often the two ends are not people, and sometimes she has to be kicked out by the big brother to carry the black pot, which is also a bitter and a tear.

But there is no way, he has no choice, in this place of Kowloon Hong Kong Island, a poor person like him, there are only a few ways out, he has no talent, no connections and no resources, there is no way out for martial arts, he has to be squeezed by the community when he works hard, and he has to be cannon fodder when he joins the club.

What could he do?

There is no way, it can only be like this.

But in the past few days, his helpless life has been shattered.

First of all, a fierce bad guy came to the door and beat his master, Bai Yuansheng, the head of the Baishan Martial Arts Gym, into a self-contained, and then another person picked up the martial arts hall street, and trampled on the signboards of the martial arts halls and the five great grandmasters, and finally came to plow the court and sweep the entire street.

He didn't know what about other martial arts halls, but he knew that their martial arts halls were finished, Master Bai Yuansheng hadn't eaten a bite of food for three days, and the brothers and sisters fled and scattered, either going to prison or leaving Kowloon, leaving only their barely innocent little characters still struggling to support.

The most important thing is that his thighs, his gold master, the senior brother of the White Mountain Martial Arts Pavilion, were also arrested.

As a dog-legged brother, without the gold owner, without the backer, the martial arts hall can't hold on, and the fox friends and dog friends are even more scattered, what should he do next?

Li Si didn't know either.

Not only him, but on the street of Wuguan, many people don't know how to go in the future.

It was at this time...... The gangs of street thugs are here again.

Are they actually hiring?

And such lucrative conditions?

This made Li Si, who was in a daze, excited, and lined up with hope, wanting to have a public meal.

As a result, I don't want to, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

He was actually brushed off?

Well...... It may be a little inappropriate to say that he also knows that his virtue is unqualified, but he can't figure out how the information files of these bad guys are so detailed, and he even knows that he helped the senior brother a few years ago to suppress a newcomer.

If you just know his details, then forget it, after all, he does everything half-male

As long as you have the heart, you can find out if you check it casually, but they even dug up the bottom of Zhang Shan, the senior brother of the Chen Martial Arts Hall next door.

This Zhang Shan is the chief disciple of the Chen Martial Arts Pavilion, and his reputation on Wuguan Street is very good, and many people regard him as a righteous gentleman, but Li Si knows that this street bastard is not a good person at all, killing people and setting fires behind his back, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil.

It's just that he is very well disguised, powerful, and has his hands and eyes to the sky, and he has never been exposed.

Unexpectedly, those poor guys even dug it out, and turned the application of this street boy into a surrender on the spot.

Is the current bad guy so efficient?

Li Si's astonishment did not stop there, after the extralegal fanatic next door was taken away, he also failed to pass the requirements of the police station signboard, because of interpersonal relationship and character problems.

But after brushing it down, the other party pointed him to a second way and asked him to apply for a job with the film crew next door.

Movie?

What is it?

In addition to "Deep Throat", "X Futon", "X Bottle Plum", "XX I Want", "XX I Want", "XX I Want Again" and other midnight classic plays...... He is not familiar with movies at all, and he is even more resistant to things like making movies, unless he is allowed to be the leading actor.

After all, no matter how you say it, he is also a martial arts disciple, if he really goes to the midnight field, then what face will there be in the future, and it is strange that the master does not kill him.

What, outside of the midnight show?

What other movies are there outside of Midnight Show?

Li Si didn't know, but vaguely remembered that except for the characteristic midnight show, other movies and television were basically ghost big stages, and they all spoke in foreign languages, each more boring than the other, and more boring than Cantonese fragments, not to mention that they were young people, even middle-aged and elderly aunts didn't watch it.

What are you doing with this?

It's better to shoot a "special" midnight show.

But if you want him to shoot this kind of thing......

"Just kidding!"

"Are you mistaken?"

"I'm a disciple of Yimen, if you don't accept me, forget it, and you want me to make a movie?"

"It's not an insult to insult people, it's great to send people, and you have to be reasonable."

"That is, what's the difference between you doing this and forcing you to become a prostitute."

"Hmph, I just said, how can there be such a good thing, it turned out to be a trick on us, go!"

Not only Li Temple, but also many martial arts disciples who were brushed down, all of them were flushed and furious in the face of the recommendation of the movie crew.

"Don't get excited, everyone, you're mistaken!"

Fortunately, at this time, Ah Wei came over with the microphone and said with a solemn oath: "I use our reputation as Xu Sir to assure you that this is definitely not a salty movie in the midnight show, but a serious movie and television, there are police movies, action movies, martial arts movies, supernatural movies, but there are no salty movies!"

"Cop movies?"

"Action?"

"Martial arts films?"

"Psychic tablets?"

When everyone heard this, they were amazed, and then asked curiously.

"What is a cop movie?"

"What is an action movie?"

"Martial arts films, supernatural films, haven't you heard of them?"

"How do you shoot it?"

Everyone was curious and asked carefully.

Ah Wei smiled, but didn't say much: "You'll know when the filming comes out, in short, it's not a salty and wet film, the hero and heroine, the martial arts stand-in, and the group performances, they are all in short supply now, in terms of treatment, although there are no special benefits like our police station, but the salary is quite generous, if you are interested, you can try it."

After that, he took out Xu Yang's gold-lettered signboard again: "You don't think that a person like Xu Sir will let us pull you to take salty and wet films, right?"

"This ......"

"Seems to make sense."

"Why don't you try it?"

"The male protagonist, a play, there are hundreds of thousands!"

"Martial arts, stand-ins, dragon sets, there are two or three hundred a day, and there are boxed lunches, unlimited amounts, you can eat as much as you want."

Xu Yang's signboard, Ah Wei's guarantee, and generous salary made the martial arts disciples who were brushed down ready to move.

Seeing this, Ah Wei didn't say much: "If you are interested, go to the next door to register."

"Qualified!"

"Although you are from a martial arts gym and have a certain foundation in martial arts, because you have no experience in the police academy, you still have to undergo our three-month intensive training to master the skills and codes of conduct of the disciplined forces."

"If there is no problem, I will report to the training camp in Shui Kok House Village tomorrow, you can bring daily necessities and weapons, but only cold weapons such as swords, and you must register."

"Alright, next!"

"Oooh!"

Huo Min took the leaflet and registration form, and left the recruitment office in a daze.

Right now......

"Where, where?"

A familiar voice came, Huo Min looked up, and saw his father Huo Huan, rushing over here in a hurry, his eyes lit up, looking around, and he didn't know what he was looking for.

"Daddy?"

Huo Min stepped forward with a puzzled face: "Why are you here too?"

"Amin, you're here too, great!"

Seeing that his daughter was also there, Huo Huan was immediately overjoyed, and asked repeatedly, "Where is that movie crew?"

"Movie crew?"

Huo Min was stunned: "What movie crew?"

"This movie crew!"

Huo Huan took a leaflet in front of her, and said with excitement on his face: "They want to shoot Huo Yuanjia, Huo Yuanjia, I'm going to sign up, I must sign up, do you know where they are, oh, over there, I'll go over first, you go home by yourself!"

After that, no matter what Huo Min's reaction was, he rushed to the recruitment office of the film crew.

Kowloon Police Station, inside the office.

Li Jiayuan, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, reported to Xu Yang with a plan: "At present, there are three film crews, one TV crew, the film crew is "Police Story", "Crazy Boy", "Huang Feihong", the TV crew is "Hero Huo Yuanjia", and the follow-up file is "Jingwumen", and the preparation of "Zombie Taoist" and other supernatural films is also underway......

"Hmm!"

Xu Yang nodded, chuckled and said, "Has the protagonist decided?"

"Not yet."

Li Jiayuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Most of the decent movies on the Hong Kong Island market now are mainly ghost and foreign films, and our Chinese film and television industry, except for Fengyue films, has not developed at all."

"Not to mention the protagonist, it's the supporting roles, the dragon set, and the director, the front and back cameras, all of which are lacking, these can barely be replaced by the crew of Fengyue films, but can't the heroes and heroines also use the heroes and heroines of Fengyue films to shoot?"

"It's really not possible, so I can only go to Bay Island to pull people, but the situation over there ......."

The last words were not finished, but he looked at Xu Yang with a sad face.

When Xu Yang heard this, he also smiled: "Then how about I recommend a few to you?"

"This ......"

Li Jiayuan looked at Xu Yang in surprise: "Boss, do you still know the star of Wandao?"

"I don't know."

Xu Yang shook his head and chuckled, "But I know who is suitable for these roles."

"Police story, Chen Jiaju, currently serving in the Central District Police Station, you can go to Ma Sir later, ask him to come forward to transfer this person, and then pull him to the crew, find a few old actors with stage experience, train him for a period of time, master the sense of stage and camera, and then you can play."

"Huang Feihong, this person's name is Gong Wei, he is a special police officer in the mainland, and he is currently undercover in a criminal group, I will organize an operation to solve this criminal group, and then talk to him again, if he is willing, then use him, if he is unwilling, find someone else."

"As for the Troubled Boy...... Isn't there all of them in Shuijiao Prison, you go over and see which one is pleasing to the eye and which one is suitable, and then you can put it forward and act according to the script."

"Huo Yuanjia's side, you take the time to go to the Huo Clan's Martial Arts Hall and ask their opinions, I don't think they will refuse."

"That's it, prepare first, train well, and then start filming at the end, it doesn't matter if the time is slow, the quality must be guaranteed."

"Yes!"

After some discussion, the film plan was finalized.

Movies, why make movies?

Because Xu Yang discovered a very interesting thing.

That is, in this world, the film industry on Hong Kong Island has not developed vigorously, and the classic Hong Kong films that he has traveled through before, such as Police Story, Best Partner, Five Lucky Stars, Wong Fei Hung, God of Gamblers and other movies, have not been made, and there are not even similar works.

Why?

Is it because the filmmakers of this world don't have such creativity, such scripts, and such ideas?

No, it's not, creativity doesn't go away because the world changes.

The filmmakers of this world also have the ability to create excellent movies, maybe the content of the script will be different, but excellent movies are inevitable, there will be no police stories, there will be bad stories, there will be no best partners, there will be the best detectives, in short, creativity will not disappear.

Since the creativity of filmmakers has not disappeared, why is there no thriving film industry on Hong Kong Island in this world?

Because—the ghost!

That's right, this is a good thing done by the British ghosts, who have limited the development of Hong Kong Island films.

This may sound a little incredible, as an open and civilized Westerner, how can he restrict the development of the film industry, it is not free at all, it is not reasonable at all.

But in fact, this ...... Very reasonable, very, very reasonable!

What is a movie?

Art?

It's art, yes.

However, from the perspective of Zhengzhi, it has only one nature, that is, cultural export and ideological propaganda.

It is a propaganda tool that instills culture, instills ideas.

Before Xu Yang's crossing, why was the film industry on Hong Kong Island so thriving, and a large number of excellent classic works emerged, including mainstream melody films that praise China and defend the country, and even a large number of movies that expose ghosts and make them play villains, so as to beat foreigners.

Are those Britons really so enlightened, so free, and completely uncontrolled by literary and artistic propaganda such as movies?

It's a fart!

The appearance of these movies is just a forced compromise, as well as a calculation that harbors evil intentions.

Needless to say, the Hong Kong Island at that time was not only the Hong Kong Island of the ghosts, but also the Hong Kong Island of the Chinese.

It is not only the colonizers who hold the power, but also the local forces on Hong Kong Island, those who are rich and rich, the big fishing families, the wealthy and powerful, the big families, the associations and gangs, they are all part of Hong Kong Island and part of the power of Hong Kong Island.

If they don't make certain compromises and cede certain powers, then even if the British are colonizers, they will be overwhelmed by them, even if they have guns, cannons and troops.

After all, in that world, there is no supernatural power, and one person cannot form an army and suppress everything.

It is in this world that there is a powerful transcendent force, and there is mutual restraint and balance in all aspects, and an outlier like Xu Yang who can break the framework is not a conventional species at all.

Therefore, the British had to cede some of their power to the localists on Hong Kong Island.

Since we want to let it, then we should simply and thoroughly, and directly give up the most conspicuous piece of power on the surface, so that people all over the world can see how enlightened we are and how free we are.

Although I colonized you, I still shoot Huo Yuanjia and Jingwumen for you, casually let us foreigners be villains and harlequins, casually talk about black and white collusion, officials protect each other, we talk about freedom, it doesn't matter, we don't care, and we won't restrict it.

In this way, they will not only gain a good reputation for "enlightened freedom", but also win the favor of the local factions on Hong Kong Island, and vigorously support the local factions on Hong Kong Island, so that they can firmly grasp the power and hope to hold it forever, so as to resist the future handover.

Give full play to their ability to stir X sticks, and try to disgust you as much as they can if they can.

If it weren't for that, there wouldn't be so many messy things happening decades after returning home on Hong Kong Island, all of which were the local factions they had propped up, secretly fanning the flames.

The world before the crossing is like this, and the world after the crossing is ......

The ghost of this world, why don't you do it?

Could it be that they have changed their sex, and suddenly they have a conscience, and they are no longer so disgusting.

Of course not.

The reason why they don't do this is because the situation in this world is different, there is a powerful transcendent power, and there are special powers such as "dragon vein", "national power", and "emperor's luck".

In such a world, public opinion and popular sentiment are very important things, because it will directly affect the country's luck, and it must be strictly controlled, otherwise it is easy to cause extremely serious consequences.

In this way, how can those ghosts still make works like Huo Yuanjia and Jingwumen appear in Hong Kong Island movies, isn't this digging the foundation of their British Empire?

Not to mention Huo Yuanjia, Jingwumen, it is a conventional police movie, action movie, and martial arts film are not allowed to be filmed, and all the films released are spy films starring ghosts, legal films, or simply move the mainstream movies of the West, what you want is a cultural export and spiritual colonization.

Therefore, on Hong Kong Island, where Xu Yang is located now, the film industry is in a sparse state, local films can basically only make Fengyue films, and they cannot be imported from the outside world, no one can make mainstream movies with the melody of the Chinese family and country, and even their own "Royal Police" are abandoned and not promoted.

In this situation, filming the police story and Huo Yuanjia's Jingwumen, isn't that an eye medicine for the British?

Yes, definitely.

It's not that Xu Yang doesn't shoot yet.

As for the good ones, why bother the British?

First of all, there is no good way to say it, there are natural contradictions and conflicts between Xu Yang and those ghosts.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Hong Kong Island is so big, how many people can talk?

Don't look at the old ghost governor of Glenn, who has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, the appearance of a good gentleman, such tolerance for him, such concessions, and the appointment letter to him, giving him the identity of the chief superintendent, and even ceding Kowloon City, painting him a land as the king, and acting recklessly, but this is all won by Xu Yang himself.

If Xu Yang did not have such strength, this colonial governor, who had been in charge of Hong Kong Island for decades and had endured ups and downs, would he be so polite, so tolerant, and so conceited?

forbearance, because he can't do it, because he can't take Xu Yang, he can't afford and doesn't want to bear the consequences of flipping the table with Xu Yang.

That's why he gave up Kowloon City and painted land for Xu Yang as the king.

But if he had a little way to take Xu Yang and ensure that he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, he would have eaten Xu Yang alive a long time ago.

He really couldn't figure it out, so he pinched his nose and let Xu Yang develop like this.

And what Xu Yang has done has been harming his interests, harming the interests of the British, and harming the interests of the entire Hong Kong Island power class.

Don't look at him during this time, he only played clubs and martial arts halls, but in fact, he has destroyed the Zhengzhi ecology of Hong Kong Island and benefited the environment.

What is the basis for Hong Kong Island's prosperity today?

Not only is it a serious business, but the gray and black industry chain is also very important.

Xu Yang's crackdown on associations has occupied Kowloon City, an important transportation node, and the gray and black industries on Hong Kong Island, such as unique products, human trafficking, piracy, human organs, and various illegal markets, have been severely cracked down and even destroyed, and the overall industrial chain has shrunk by at least 30 percent, or even 50 percent.

Is it only the interests of the community that are at stake?

No, it's for everyone's benefit!

Those British, those rich people, go up to the Governor's Palace in Mid-Levels, go down

In Yau Ma Tei, Wan Chai, everyone's interests were harmed by Xu Yang.

If he wasn't strong enough, so strong that everyone couldn't do it, then he would never have survived to this day.

This is a natural opposition and conflict.

They can't tolerate Xu Yang, the current silence is just helpless forbearance, when they have a way, they will definitely suddenly attack, and remove Xu Yang, the street fighter who harms their interests, completely eliminate it, break the corpses into thousands of pieces, and scatter the ashes.

Never die!

This is their attitude towards Xu Yang.

What about Xu Yang to them?

Needless to say?

They can't tolerate Xu Yang, but Xu Yang can tolerate them?

If he doesn't lift the table now, it's just because he doesn't have the ability to control the overall situation, and when he can control the overall situation, then he won't spare these people, and he will definitely kill these street bastards.

This is the current situation, Hong Kong Island is too small to accommodate so many talkers, and the contradictions, conflicts and wars between Xu Yang and these people will break out one day.

Therefore, Xu Yang didn't mind giving those ghosts an eye pill to add to the blockage, and while disgusting them, he also accumulated a little capital for himself.

The film industry is still very profitable, don't look at this is the eighties and nineties, a movie is made, and the box office is tens of millions at most, but the film industry is not all supported by the box office, there are also advertising benefits, star value, and various domestic and external demand to drive consumption.

All in all, this industry, as long as it is well run, is definitely a golden rooster that lays eggs.

Xu Yang is very rich, but he is also very short of money, the leeks of the last club were cut too hard, and there is no way to harvest the second crop in a short period of time.

So, what was not said, shoot!

Not only to shoot, but also to shoot a big shot, plus a little magic change, so that those street ghosts can also taste the disgusting taste.

What, flip the table?

Let's lift it.

Xu Yang is now worried that he can't find the next experience gift package, I don't know how the old ghost of Glenn has practiced the royal arts, compared to the emperor vampire of Issey Miyake, how to say that he has also been the governor of Hong Kong Island for decades, it shouldn't be too bad, right?
