The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 667 Preparations for Filming "Across the World"

After the Lantern Festival, the trial of Steve Wanda's lawsuit against Amergo for breach of contract was formally held. At the same time, the legal department sued Bao Yongqin for commercial fraud.

Because the amount of money involved in this case is huge, and the Liu family is a well-known family in Hong Kong, the two lawsuits have attracted a lot of attention.

Hong Kong people have always liked to read these gossip news, and they are even more concerned about famous families like the Liu family. They will be very excited if there is any trouble, not to mention that this time the incident is so big that they may go to jail.

Hong Kong's major newspapers paid attention to this matter, and it became more and more uproar for a while.Although the Liu family turned to the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce for help, they greeted several major newspapers for help, and even Xu's "Daily Daily" and TVB TV station also received favors.But after all, this incident was too big to be covered, let alone someone secretly poking it out.

Seeing that the fire couldn't be contained anymore, the Liu family had no choice but to smash the pot and drop it as they liked.In fact, they also know that someone is secretly messing with them.Otherwise, with the face of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, any media will have to give a little face.

The Aimegao fraud case and breach of contract case caused a storm all over the city, and it also created a bad impression on the Liu family's business.After all, everyone knows that Liu Luanxiong is a member of the Liu family. Although he ran away from the Liu family to start his own business, he was inseparable after all.

And Amergo was involved in a huge fraud case this time, defrauding customers, which is quite a bad thing.Steve Wanda has also jumped up and down these days, asking the US Consulate in Hong Kong to come forward because he suspects that the release of suspects by the Hong Kong police will hinder judicial justice, and he said that his life was threatened.

Because Steve Wanda is a U.S. citizen, he went up and down for a while, and the matter suddenly became serious, from a simple commercial dispute to an international dispute.The U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong also had to come forward and ask the Hong Kong government to guarantee the legitimate interests of American businessmen.

The British government already wears a pair of pants with the United States, and the Hong Kong government has to pay attention to this matter again under the pressure of the American consulate.Bao Yongqin was originally released on bail pending trial, but now he is also considered to be re-incarcerated because he is suspected of involving judicial justice.

The involvement of the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong made the two cases more serious and attracted more and more media attention.The Liu family was more and more thrown on the cusp of the storm, and they were in a state of desperation for a while.Not to mention Liu Luanxiong went out to fool around, even if he went out, he would be surrounded by reporters and filmed.In less than four months, he has completely aged a round.

If Liu Luanxiong knew that he was in such a mess now, it was only because he wanted to date an actress occasionally, he wondered if he would regret jumping off the building.

Xu Guanwu didn't have much pity in his heart when he saw the Liu family becoming so embarrassed.He once read a book introducing rich people in Hong Kong, in which Liu Luanxiong was highlighted, saying that he was a big crocodile in the Hong Kong stock market, specializing in stock market sniper warfare.Just like Xu Guanwu's sniping attack on 20th Century Fox, first secretly absorb and absorb the stocks of listed companies whose market value is lower than the actual value, and after the acquisition reaches a certain level, immediately announce a comprehensive acquisition. If the listed company does not respond at this time, the company will be banned. Liu Luanxiong bought it.

Because the market value is far lower than the actual value, Liu Luanxiong can acquire high-quality assets for a small amount of money.And if the listed company responds and announces an anti-acquisition, Liu Luanxiong will sell the speculative stocks at a high price, earn the difference in price, and make a large profit from it.This method is also called "bone dismantling", and Liu Luanxiong is an "expert in dismantling bones".

Liu Luanxiong used this method to make a fortune quickly, and became one of the richest people in Hong Kong in the 90s.However, the listed companies that he had sniped suffered a great loss of vitality and suffered heavy losses.

But these are just normal business activities, at best Liu Luanxiong can be said to be too treacherous.But after that, he continued to use the rights issue of its listed companies to raise funds, seriously damaging the interests of shareholders, which is a very bad behavior.He kept releasing good news about Amygao to attract investors to invest, but then he maliciously lowered the stock price, causing investors to suffer heavy losses. He accumulated a large amount of money through these strategies of buying low and selling high, and finally sold Amygao The transfer to private ownership caused heavy losses to those small investors, who almost jumped off the building.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu has no moral pressure to deal with this insidious, cunning and inhuman villain.Not to mention that this old boy has had his hands on so many actresses before, and he was dragged out and shot for 10 minutes without any relief.

……

Just when Liu Luanxiong was humiliated by Xu Guanwu because of his love for Zhong Chuhong, and his life was worse than death, Zhong Chuhong returned to Hong Kong at this moment.

After nearly half a year of training in the United States, Zhong Chuhong has become more and more beautiful and glamorous. Every movement and every look in the eyes makes people feel excited.From the previous sexy baby to the level of a peerless stunner.

The news of Zhong Chuhong's return to Hong Kong was immediately reported by "Daily Daily", and an exclusive interview with Zhong Chuhong was attached. I went to the United States to study for half a year, and returned to Hong Kong after I had completed my studies, hoping to further my acting career.

After the news was released, the reaction it caused was not particularly great.The reason is that although Zhong Chuhong's popularity was high at that time, it was not solid. It was just a burst of media hype, and there were not many fans who were really fascinated by her.Coupled with the fact that she didn't show up again after half a year, in today's era of new stars, she was quickly forgotten by people.

However, Xu Guanwu is confident that Zhong Chuhong will become popular again, because after half a year of training in the United States, she can no longer resist the star smell all over her body.To be honest, even if she stood with Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, Zhang Aijia and other first-line actresses, Zhong Chuhong at this moment would not be at a disadvantage.

The momentum has been established, and as long as there is a good work in the future, she can immediately rise to the top.As for the work that will make her popular, Xu Guanwu has already thought about it, that is "Across the World" co-starred by her, Zhang Guorong, and Zhou Runfa.

"Across the World" is the most classic work of Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong. It once achieved a box office of 90 million Hong Kong dollars in the 3000s, ranking fourth in the annual box office list.In the film, the part where Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Runfa dance in a wheelchair is known as one of the classic scenes of Hong Kong movies.

This film was also Wu Yusen's transformational work back then. At that time, the gunfight film "Blood on the Street" he had high hopes for failed at the box office, with a total box office of more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking No. 40 in the annual box office list.In the end, the cost of this film was not even recovered, and the company that Wu Yusen had just founded was closed down, which caused him a great blow both mentally and financially.

Later, in order to help him cheer up, Zhou Runfa specially entrusted him with directing this work, and said that he must direct it.And in order to have a better box office guarantee, Zhang Guorong and Zhong Chuhong were also brought in to play.Zhong Chuhong was in the best period of her acting career at that time, and she just won the nomination for Best Actress in the Golden Horse Awards last year.And she also intends to fade out of the film industry, the gimmick of this Fengshan work is enough.

In addition, the superstar Zhang Guorong who has just reached the top of the superstar ranks with "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Days of Being Wild" and announced his retirement from the music scene, and the two collaborated again after "The True Colors of Heroes", this gimmick is even more sufficient.

Not to mention that Zhou Runfa himself is also very popular. He only starred in "God of Gamblers" last year and won the annual box office championship. Fares up.Not to mention that "Across the World" is still a classic thief-themed movie.

Movies of this kind are rare in Hong Kong. They belong to a type of shootout movies, but they pay more attention to technology and sentiment, which is quite different from ordinary street fights in black clubs.In the words of Uncle Li in "A World Without Thieves", "I hate these robbers the most, they have no technical content at all."

Xu Guanwu considered making this film because Zhong Chuhong's Hongdou sister in the film is so classic, playful and cute, romantic and affectionate, especially the dance with Zhang Guorong and Zhou Runfa at the ball, it is simply too much. classic.It's a pity that Zhong Chuhong married after the filming of this film. Otherwise, in terms of popularity at the time, she might not be worse than Lin Qingxia, who became popular again with "Invincible in the East".

……

The script of "Across the World" was quickly written by Xu Guanwu. Of course, it was just a rough story, and the specific lines had to be designed by a professional screenwriter.In terms of director, Xu Guanwu still prefers to choose Wu Yusen. After all, there are many directors in Hong Kong who can shoot shootouts, but it is rare to be as good as Wu Yusen.

However, Wu Yusen is still the contracted director of Golden Harvest, so it is not easy to hire him, and it is estimated that he will have to pay a little price.

In terms of actors, Zhou Runfa, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Guorong, the iron triangle, and Zeng Jiang, Zhu Jiang, the golden and green match.Xu Guanwu wanted to make Zhong Chuhong popular in this film, but he also wanted to make Zhang Guorong a popular movie star by the way.

As famous as Zhang Guorong, and there are some competitions in the open and in the dark, the Winner band has become popular in the film industry with the "Café de Paris" directed by Huang Zhan as early as a few years ago. Later, the handsome Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao also successfully transformed into movie stars. It has won many movies, and also achieved a very modest box office.Although Chen You, another member of the Winner Band, is not as good as the above two, he has a weird appearance and a relatively developed sense of humor, so he also acts in more comedy movies. Although he is not the leading role most of the time, his popularity is still established Get up and become a movie star hovering between the second line and the first line.

In comparison, Zhang Guorong is a step behind in the development of the film industry. So far, he has only made a few youth romance films, but the response is not very good.The reason is that although Zhang Guorong looks handsome, he has a baby face, which makes his acting path too narrow. He can't make funny comedies, and he can't do action movies. Youth romance movies also always play the affectionate Prince Charming. Even if the fans don't get tired of counting more than one, he gets tired of it himself.

This time starring in "Across the World" is undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to transform.Because he plays a handsome thief in the film, this role has more depth than the innocent Prince Charming, and this person will also rob women with his brother, this will test the actor's skill and the director's skill , otherwise it is easy to be portrayed as a villain.

In addition, there are many action scenes and gun battle scenes in the film, which is the most suitable for men to pretend to be X. In the 007 series, James Bond's demeanor is most displayed, always in hot action scenes. James Bond is not afraid of danger, braving the hail of bullets to avoid chasing and killing, but his hair and clothes are not messed up.Although this stalk has been complained by countless people as unreal, it should be admitted that these shots are indeed very attractive.

Moreover, this film will be filmed in Paris, which is a first-class big production now.Big-budget movies always attract attention, and are the best for wowing people.No matter how many low-cost films are shot, it is not as good as a big-budget film to increase popularity.
