The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 138 Drunken Fist
After Cheng Long finished filming "Laughing Fist Strange 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 look for Xu Guanwu.

"Mr. Xu, what's my next film?" Cheng Long asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

""Laughing Fist Strange Moves" just came out, and you're going to make a new movie now? Don't wear yourself out. Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of this time to travel and broaden your horizons?" Xu Guanwu laughed.

"Mr. Xu, I just came back from Australia," Cheng Long said with a smile, "I just can't sit still, let me start a movie. Look at the big brother who finished filming "The Fat Dragon Crossing the River" "Tiger Frog" earns a lot of money. I also want to make more money while I am young."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Aaron, I appreciate your drive. This is a new script, and I've prepared it for you a long time ago. Take it."

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

""Drunken Master"?!" Cheng Long was taken aback for a moment, and opened it, but it was the story of the young Huang Feihong.

Huang Feihong is a great master of Hong Quan generation, and his disciples are all over the world, leaving behind many stories of chivalry and righteousness.Huang Feihong was also one of the first heroes to be put on the screen. As early as the 60s and [-]s, Hong Kong had filmed more than [-] movies about Huang Feihong.Most of them are starring Guan Dexing and Shi Jian.

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

But in the story of "Drunken Master", Huang Feihong is a mischievous and mischievous ghost, making trouble out of nothing, even molesting big girls.It's completely different from the hero played by Mr. Guan Dexing.

"Mr. Xu, is this suitable for filming?" Cheng Long read half of the script, saw that Huang Feihong was really stubborn, and worried that the Hong Kong audience would not accept it, so he couldn't help asking in embarrassment.

"We're talking about the young Huang Feihong in this movie. Naturally, we want to show the hot-blooded and lively side of the young man. Is it necessary for a 20-year-old boy to act like a 60-year-old man with a serious and lifeless look?" Xu Guanwu explained, "Besides, in terms of orthodoxy, who can pass the role of Mr. Dexing? Since you can't compare, then you have to change and play a different Huang Feihong. This Huang Feihong can also be mischievous, rebellious, passionate, and He will be impulsive, but he is not bad in nature, he will resist when he sees bad people, and he will take action when he sees injustice..."

"When Mr. Xu said that, I understood." Cheng Long was not stupid after all, so he immediately realized it.

"A child can be taught, take it back and think about it carefully, I will wait for your good news." Xu Guanwu smiled.

Cheng Long happily left with the script of "Drunken Master".

……

After "Laughing Fist" and "Genius and Idiot" were released, Gui Zhihong's "Chengji Tea House" and Hong Jingbao's "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" were released next.

"Sheng Kee Tea House" is a gangster-themed film, which deeply reflects the reality of the bottom of Hong Kong society where gangs are rampant, justice is hard to claim, and people are bullied.

After the filming was finished, when it was sent to the inspection department for review, it was stuck without any accident.

The officials at the Public Prosecutor's Office didn't say they would block the film, but they didn't say when it would be released. In short, it was held there, and it has not been released for a long time.

Director Gui Zhihong went to the prosecutor's office every day and quarreled with the staff there, but he couldn't make any sense out of the quarrel.

Gui Zhihong was forced to almost hire a barrister to file a lawsuit with the prosecutor's office.

"Director Gui, now do you know my intention of deleting that clip?" Xu Guanwu looked at Gui Zhihong who looked dejected and said.

The film failed the inspection, and Gui Zhihong was unable to explain to his boss. His eye circles were bloodshot after suffering these days.

"Boss, I think you can only do it if you go out." Gui Zhihong said disgraced.

He went to the prosecutor's office to make a fuss for a week, but they never gave him an explanation.Bring him a cup of tea when you go there, and let him babble, and he doesn't say a word, making Gui Zhihong full of anger and having nowhere to vent it.

"Learn a lesson and learn a lesson. Next time, try to be more tactful. After all, the British are in power now. If you take pictures of people's dark side, they will naturally not want to." Xu Guanwu urged.

Gui Zhihong bumped his head, and finally admitted at this moment, "Boss, I will try my best to pay attention next time."

Xu Guanwu nodded and followed Gui Zhihong to the prosecutor's office.

Because of Xu Guanwu's status as a "reserve justice of the peace", he has friendship with the Hong Kong Police Force and the ICAC, and he is the boss of Hong Kong's largest newspaper, so his arrival alarmed the director of the prosecutor's office.

Although the prosecution office is not an important functional department, it directly chokes the throat of the film company. Without their approval, no film can be released in Hong Kong.

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

"Sister, why didn't you get in touch with them well?" Xu Guanwu thought with some self-blame.

"Mr. Xu, welcome, welcome." Although the director of the prosecutor's office is British, he has lived in Hong Kong for many years and speaks fluent Cantonese.

Xu Guanwu is no longer surprised to speak Cantonese to foreigners, "Director Smith, hello, hello."

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

"Director Smith, I'm here to ask, our company has a film that has been unable to pass the inspection. I don't know why?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Oh? There's such a thing? What's the name of that movie? I'll help you ask." Director Smith showed a ignorant expression on his face.

"Grandma Pu, put on a show! I come here eight times a day, don't you know which movie it is?" Gui Zhihong muttered and cursed behind him.

Xu Guanwu coughed lightly, "It's the movie called "Chengji Teahouse"."

"Oh, I have an impression, wait a minute, I'll check it for you right away." Director Smith said as he opened the folder and found the review report of the movie, "Mr. Xu, your movie has too many violent scenes. , and there are too many swear words, and some movie clips are suspected of smearing our Hong Kong police, if it is released, it will damage the image of our British Hong Kong government."

"Mr. Smith, I think these are just misunderstandings, and I think we can delete some of them that may cause misunderstandings." Xu Guanwu said.

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

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

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

Xu Guanwu took back the copy, and immediately, together with Gui Zhihong, edited "Chengji Teahouse" under the guidance of the inspector.Some foul language and scenes satirizing the British Hong Kong government were deleted.

And these pictures were the part that Xu Guanwu circled and planned to delete at the very beginning.

"Mr. Xu, I would have listened to you if I knew it earlier, so I don't have to bother you so much." Gui Zhihong bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

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