Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1135 Better Than Jackie Chan
After returning to Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai came directly to his office.

Not long after he sat down, He Guanchang came looking for him.

Zou Wenhuai told He Guanchang everything about what happened to Run Run Shaw before.

"Looking at it this way, the arrangement of this schedule is still fair, but it seems to be more beneficial to Lin Daoqiu."

New Oriental is full of talents, including Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Zeng Zhiwei, Teddy Robin, and the new director Gao Zhisen. They have formed a new generation of New Art City.

There are also Wang Jing, Zheng Danrui, and Wen Jun, the original Shaw Brothers four directors, Zhang Che, Chu Yuan, Li Hanxiang, and Hu Jinquan.

It can be said that for commercial-themed movies, basically no one in Hong Kong can beat New Oriental.

Li Hanxiang made two historical blockbusters that were very popular, and Hu Jinquan made a "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Zhang Che and Chu Yuan didn't have any outstanding results, but they also made a few movies last year, and they accumulated over [-] million box office results.

Not to mention that New Oriental has the backing of Magic Studio, which is beyond their reach.

With top stars like Jackie Chan and Brigitte Lin in hand, it is even more desperate.

"What do you think we should do now? Are we really going to let Jiahe sink like this?"

Zou Wenhuai covered his head, looking helpless, he really couldn't think of a good way to resolve Jiahe's current predicament.

"If we want to break Golden Harvest's current predicament, I think we should find a better actor."

Zou Wenhuai looked at He Guanchang and said nothing, but motioned him to continue with his eyes.

"Ah Wen is coming back soon, we can hand over the urban comedy to him, and we can push Li Yuanba for action movies, and I also found a new action star with great potential, who is more fierce than Jackie Chan back then..."

After hearing what He Guanchang said, Zou Wenhuai's eyes widened in surprise.

Is there such a person who is more aggressive than Jackie Chan in the past as a new star?Why don't you know?
"You should have heard of this person's name. His name is Jet Li. He has acted in "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Boy" before."

When He Guanchang mentioned the name Jet Li, Zou Wenhuai suddenly realized.

A "Shaolin Temple" won a box office of 600 million in Xiangjiang, and "Shaolin Boy" even set a record of 2000 million in [-].

"But Jet Li is a member of the mainland martial arts team, can we invite him to Xiangjiang to make a movie?"

While Zou Wenhuai was happy, he couldn't help worrying, after all Jet Li's situation was a bit different.

It should be very difficult to invite him to Xiangjiang to make a movie, otherwise, it is impossible for him to stay in the mainland and not come out.

"Actually, after "Shaolin Temple", I began to pay attention to this young man. After filming "Shaolin Boy" last year, Jet Li was seriously injured, and now he is being treated in LA..."

"Okay, you rush to LA right away, you don't have to worry about things here, you must do everything you can to invite him to Xiangjiang."

If Jet Li can be invited, it will be of great help to Golden Harvest's recovery. No wonder Zou Wenhuai is so excited.

Li Yuanba's potential has not yet been fully revealed, but Jet Li's potential is already not to be underestimated.

Jackie Chan's "Serpentine Hand" and "Drunken Master" combined were only a little over 1000 million, while Jet Li's two films have already earned nearly 4000 million at the box office.

This already means that the audience of his movie Xiangjiang is very acceptable. If he can be invited to Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai feels that Jet Li's achievements in Golden Harvest are definitely not inferior to Jackie Chan.

…………

LA, a restaurant in Chinatown, where He Guanchang met Jet Li who came to the United States for leg treatment.

At this time, the 22-year-old Jet Li looked very handsome. Even though his legs and feet were inconvenient, he was still very talkative.

"Mr. Li, I, He Guanchang, are here to discuss with you on behalf of Xiangjiang Golden Harvest Film Company, asking you to go to Xiangjiang to make a movie."

Hearing that He Guanchang came to invite him to film, Jet Li was of course very happy, but two seconds later, he pointed at his leg.

"Mr. He, I'm sorry, I like filming very much, but my current situation, let alone filming, can't even walk. According to the doctor, it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least half a year to recuperate."

When Jet Li was talking, He Guanchang kept looking at Jet Li's legs.

In fact, before coming here, He Guanchang already knew that several groups of people had come to look for Jet Li before, but seeing his current situation, all of them returned in defeat.

After all, Jet Li has already been injured like this, not to mention filming, even walking is very difficult, please go back for people like this, it will not help them at all.

But for He Guanchang, he firmly believed that a young talent like Jet Li would not be crippled because of this injury, so he decided to take a gamble.

"Mr. Li, I know many well-known doctors here in LA. They have high prestige and skills in treating legs. If you are willing to sign with Golden Harvest, your medical expenses will not only be fully covered by Golden Harvest, but also in the I will give you a signing bonus of 200 million Hong Kong dollars, what do you think?"

The reason why He Guanchang knew these doctors was entirely because of Jackie Chan's relationship, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

And Jet Li originally thought that after seeing his appearance like this, He Guanchang would choose to leave like those who came to visit him before.

But what I didn't expect was that the other party not only didn't leave, but also promised that as long as he signed the contract, he would find a way to help him heal his legs, and he also added a signing bonus of 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

It can be said that this kind of courtesy has greatly exceeded Jet Li's expectations.

"Mr. He is not joking, right? With my current appearance, I may become a disabled person in my next life. If I can't be cured by then, you Jiahe will lose money."

What Jet Li said was just testing He Guanchang, he wanted to see if the other party really came to sign him, or if he was just talking casually here.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, I'm definitely not joking. If you don't believe me, we will sign a contract at that time. If there is any point that Golden Harvest fails to do, we will pay you 1000 million Hong Kong dollars in liquidated damages. What do you think?" .”

That's all He Guanchang said, if Jet Li still doesn't believe it, then he really feels a little like a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's belly.

"Mr. He, let me go back and think about it. I can't give you an answer now."

Jet Li was actually very moved, but he still couldn't give the other party an answer immediately. He wanted to go back and find someone to discuss, and by the way, find out what kind of company Golden Harvest is in Xiangjiang.

"That's what it should be. I will stay in LA during this time. Please call me if you need it."

He Guanchang handed his business card to Jet Li.
