Golden Age 1990

Chapter 197 Target "Westward Journey"! (4000 words)
On the day Bai Feng left Hong Kong, the movie "Young and Dangerous" still failed to exceed 4000 million.

However, this number is not far off.

Although there will be many Hollywood blockbusters and later real Lunar New Year movies released.

But exceeding 4000 million is definitely not a problem.

However, there is bad news.

The kidnapping of the richest man's son could no longer be concealed.

The main reason is that this matter is too difficult to hide, and there is almost no way to hide it.

Because the funds used are too large.

The richest man is really powerful. He raised one billion in one fell swoop, but this is only one billion. This is the cash capacity of the entire Hong Kong bank.

If you want to pay an account or something, it's actually quite simple, but if you just take out cash, it's really difficult.

The Li family suddenly wants so much money, what are they going to do?
The banks can ignore it, but what about the Hong Kong government?
Are you investing or what?

Interestingly, a large part of the funds went into buying Li family shares.

But he still couldn't hide this matter.

Of course, the Li family did not call the police, which meant that even if everyone knew about it, nothing could be done.

Well, actually the police can handle it, because this matter is completely a public prosecution case.

But the Li family was still suppressed.

To put it simply, everyone in Hong Kong knew that the eldest son of the Li family had been kidnapped, but they had to pretend that this incident never happened.

The victims are not in a hurry, so why are we the common people making trouble?

But to be honest, many ordinary people are quite happy and have a lot more to talk about after dinner.

The richest man really got choked up this time, and the money was really lost.

Of course, some knowledgeable people will understand that Mr. Li is really powerful and deceived Zhang Ziqiang into investing in his company's stocks.

This is almost nothing to lose.

But this is just a family opinion, and most people still find it quite satisfying.

However, this is the view of ordinary citizens, but Hong Kong's rich people are different.

Everyone has a feeling of turmoil.

Then, it directly caused the security industry in Hong Kong to flourish.

Yes, they have money, so they can hire more bodyguards.

Otherwise what else can be done?
In fact, many people have also seen that the richest man's way of handling the matter, that is, suppressing the matter and not going to the Hong Kong police, is really a very correct choice.

It doesn't necessarily mean that the richest man has reached an agreement with the gangsters, or that they have some gentlemanly agreement.

This billion is given to you, and you, Zhang Ziqiang, can no longer touch the Li family.

And it is very likely that the Hong Kong government has no ability at all now.

Yes, this is very possible.

Various situations in the past actually illustrate this point. Just like that robbery of a cash transport truck, everyone was caught and brought to court.

How is the result?

Why don't you let the person go?

Some knowledgeable people have a very profound view on this, that is, they see that this is actually a profound shortcoming of the Anglo-American legal system.

In fact, looking at the world, places that follow the common law system will always have such results.

That is, the more evil the person is, the more they let him off.

There is even a trend to abolish the death penalty, which has become a mess in the common law systems around the world.

Therefore, if we go to Hong Kong, it is almost certain.

It is impossible for the Hong Kong government to do anything to the gangster Zhang Ziqiang.

Yes, it's so weird, but it's the truth.

And that's it for this matter.

As a result...

Anyway, it didn't affect the movie "Young and Dangerous".

What’s interesting is that even in this case, there were previous underworld fights.

and all kinds of controversies.

It seems that it has not affected the box office of "Young and Dangerous". Everyone should watch it anyway.

That's what's really surprising.

Naturally, at the moment, many people still see Haonan, Pheasant, and Xixinli.

Not many people know what role Bai Feng played.

Do you know?
In a house that could see the sea, Hong Gu lazily picked up the phone.

This thing used to beep non-stop, which was really annoying.

However, she did know who was calling.

"Honggu, it seems, it seems..."

"A Yin, what's going on?"

"It's nothing, just...just..."

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. The main thing is... there seems to be some problems with this movie."

"Ha...what's the problem? By the way, what about that thing I asked you before?"

"that……"

"Just answer honestly."

"I, I have nothing to do with him."

"really?"

"Why should I lie to you?"

"But I saw some paparazzi photos here."

"what?"

"It's you sitting on the back seat of Ah Xing's bicycle."

"Isn't that normal? It's probably like this here anyway."

"Really nothing?"

"really."

"Okay, but I also told you."

"I understand."

"Okay, let's go here."

This phone call was made in a vague way, and most people couldn't understand it.

However, one could tell that it was Zhu Yin on the other end of the phone.

In fact, this call could be said to have been agreed before, but Zhu Yin didn't receive it the last time he called, so he called now.

And these things discussed in it...

The person riding the bicycle is of course Ah Xing, and the movie they made is "Westward Journey".

As the first female artist signed by Hong Gu, Zhu Yin is still very interested in her.

And this time "Westward Journey" is a very good resource.

However, before the filming of this movie started, there were still many problems encountered.

In itself, the film started with a special premise.

Didn't Bai Feng produce a movie called "Swordsmen of Two Flags" in Hong Kong back then?

Ah Xing has also seen this movie.

At that time, Ah Xing was not particularly famous. Although he was not far away from becoming famous, he was not that famous yet.

In fact, Ah Xing only became interested in this movie through Fatty Wang's introduction.

Then when I saw it, I was immediately conquered by the scenery of the northwest desert in this movie.

Ah Xing thought this movie was very well done.

Originally it was just a small thing, but then, earlier this year.

To be precise, at the beginning of 1994, Liu Zhenwei came to see Ah Xing.

The script I picked up at that time was called "Westward Journey".

The two of them were originally partners, and the movie where Ah Xing really got his start was "The Gambler".

In fact, the movie "The Gambler" also has many stories.

Originally, this film was pitched by the family boss Wu Siyuan, who supported Liu Zhenwei and Ah Xing from the beginning.

The director at the time was actually Yuan Kui, the one who played Safety First in "Fang Shiyu" and the master in "New Fist of Fury".

In fact, what is more interesting is the director of the movie "New Fist of Fury".

Looking at the director column, there is a person named Zuo Songsheng. He has actually appeared in many movies. His more classic image is the Japanese ghost king in "Heaven and Earth Xuanmen".This guy's surname is Zuo, and he also looks like a Dasa.

But the other one...Rowe.

About this person. . .

If a person's vision is poor, then it cannot be worse than Luo Wei.

If a person has a bad temper, it cannot be worse than Luo Wei.

If a person is said to have bad luck, it cannot be worse than Luo Wei.

The above is based entirely on the history of Hong Kong films.

Let's put it this way, this name can be seen in the fame history of many superstars.

Bruce Lee!
The original director was Luo Wei.

And after that?
Fall out.

Jackie Chan!

Luo Wei has also directed films.

And after that?
Fall out.

Kung Fu Emperor!

Luo Wei has been involved, and he definitely deserves credit for "Once Upon a Time".

And after that?
Nothing happened to him.

All the way to Asing!
"Fist of Fury" is actually a really good movie. It is definitely a success and one of the movies that made Ah Sing famous.

But Luo Wei still got involved just a little bit, and then...

Almost all of the above four people cooperated with Luo Wei in the early days. It is even possible to say that Luo Wei was their guide.

As a result, after these four people became famous, Luo Wei didn't get any glory at all.

Let’s just say this guy is unlucky or not.

Anyway, I haven’t seen him much in the past two years. Of course, he is getting older.

Let’s not talk about this one, but Liu Zhenwei found Ah Xing.

In fact, both of them were not very happy in 1994, but Ah Xing was better off. After all, he got an opportunity to take the photo himself.

"Domestic Lingling Paint".

But, after all, it still hasn’t reached its previous heights.

And the script Liu Zhenwei brought really impressed Ah Xing.

"Journey to the West"!
When A Xing got the script, he immediately thought of one place.

Journey to the West means going to the west.

Having watched "Swordsmen of Two Flags" before, he also saw what the northwest was like.

Therefore, I planned to cooperate with Xiying Studio.

Liu Zhenwei was also very happy when he mentioned the Xiying Studio.

Because he has collaborated before.

"Ashes of Time".

The masterpiece of Liu Zhenwei’s good friend and Sunglasses King.

This movie was filmed for several years, and then the two of them even made a movie called "East and West".

And this "Ashes of Time" was released this year, and this release... really hit the streets.

Less than ten million!

The previous film "Days of Being Wild" cost at least over 1000 million, but this time it didn't even reach [-] million.

"Ashes of Time" has an all-star cast, and it was basically made by the same people as "Ashes of Time".

This is definitely a big failure.

However, we had cooperated with Xiying Film Studio before, and then Ah Xing proposed this.

that would be great.

However, there are certain procedures that must be followed when filming a movie here in mainland China.

The script of "Westward Journey" was sent to Xiying Film Studio, and they gave it some thought.

Because this movie is so subversive that people can’t even imagine it. Is this possible?
Xiying Studio was afraid that its sign would be damaged.

But... in recent years, it has been very difficult to make money. If you can film a project, at least you can make money.

Ah Xing was very generous this time and simply set up his own company and invested in this movie.

4500 million!
Apart from anything else, this investment alone made Xi Film Studio feel that this project should be established.

However, it still took a while.

Finally, by the end of the year, it was time to start filming.

Ah Xing himself probably got at least more than 2000 million, and Liu Zhenwei probably got at least more than 2000 million.

This is probably an investment situation.

All in all, it took a lot to get this movie started.

Hong Gu also knew something about this, and what was interesting was that that guy Bai Feng had shown a strong interest in this movie before.

According to general logic, then Bai Feng should participate in the investment.

But this guy has always stood still.

Naturally, Honggu didn't understand the reason, but she still followed many things.

Because they had collaborated before, it was easy for Ah Yin to get the heroine.

But this matter...

Why don't you send out a photo now?

A Yin was sitting on the back seat of someone's bicycle, and she didn't know which paparazzi took the photo.

In fact, you can tell from that photo, it was probably around October, and Ah Xing was wearing a sweater.

The movie probably hasn't officially started shooting yet, so A Yin and him... Hong Gu asked about this.

Now it seems that maybe they are not dating.

But no matter what, Hong Gu also figured out the news.

But...in fact, she wanted to tell A Yin a piece of news.

That is where Bai Feng has gone.

But these words were not spoken.

A strange smile appeared on Hong Gu's face.

……

When Bai Feng left Hong Kong, his first destination was the West Film Studio.

In other words, it is the Western Film and Television City.

Well, to be precise, these are two places, or even two institutions.

What is the relationship between West Film Studio and West Film and Television City?

It's really hard to say. After all, as far as the film and television city is concerned, this place is Yinchuan, and it is connected to Chang'an and Yulin, which are all across provinces.

But in fact, it's really not that far.

In fact, many movies have been filmed here in Yulin. The landscape here is very good. Many scenes of "Ashes of Time" were also shot in Yulin.

It should be said that this relationship is somewhat like the later Hengdian Film and Television City and Xiangshan Film and Television City.

Xiangshan Film and Television City was originally built for the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". There is a large eagle at the gate, but it is more than 200 kilometers away from Hengdian.

It's not that far away, and they can complement each other. So we might as well develop both places later on and become a film and television city circle.

The same is true of the Western Film and Television City, which is not far from Yulin. Many movies are shot here, and they can be shot there just by car.

The scenery in the west is really nice.

The Xiying Film Studio is located in the south of these two places, and many film companies are connected to the Xiying Film Studio.

Therefore, Bai Feng probably wanted to go to Xiying Studio first.

Then go to the Western Film and Television City.

His real target is, of course, Zixia... Oh no, it's "Westward Journey".

But as soon as he arrived at Xiying Studio, he encountered something interesting.

"I can't do this scene! Please replace me!"

"No, how can we change people?"

"Anyway, I quit!"

"Teacher Lu, please don't do this."

A tall, red-faced man seemed to be giving up.

But Bai Feng could tell that this was Mr. Guan.

　I sincerely appreciate the reward, thank you all for your monthly votes, thank you!
