Rebirth of the Hong Kong tycoon, the beginning of the star Shuzhen

Before turning Li Lianjie into a real monk, Xu Jinyang snatched him from the Yindu organization.

In fact, he also snatched the Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie before the Xiang brothers' Yongsheng.

Although Li Lianjie's box office appeal in his original life could not catch up with Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Long and Zhou Yifa, he was also the first person under them. The total box office of those movies he shot was also quite considerable. After all, the movies shot by Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Yifa and Cheng Long can account for a certain percentage of the total movies. It still requires a large number of people like Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua who can make a profit and make money continuously.

Of course, in the eyes of Li Lianjie's fans, Li Lianjie is not inferior to Cheng Long. Speaking of it, there are still several stages of dragon fighting between Li Lianjie and Cheng Long, the two Kung Fu kings.

The first stage was before the 1980s, when Cheng Long completely defeated Li Lianjie.

The 1980s was the era when Cheng Long and Li Lianjie became famous.

As an actor, Cheng Long came out earlier and Li Lianjie was a little later.

Before the 1980s, Cheng Long had filmed the world-famous"Drunken Master", which brought Cheng Long great reputation and fame.

At this time, Cheng Long was full of vigor and vitality, and was a veritable kung fu star, no one could match him, while Li Lianjie was still practicing martial arts in the Beijing Wushu Team!

The second stage was the 1980s.

In the 1980s, Li Lianjie surpassed Cheng Long for the first time because of the emergence of Li Lianjie's"Shaolin Temple".

Perhaps luck is so sudden and unpredictable.

In 1982, Li Lianjie, who was born in Beijing, made his first screen debut and became a blockbuster.

He was promoted to an Asian kung fu star in one fell swoop.

"Shaolin Temple" broke the box office records of many countries.

In an instant, the three words"Li Lianjie" became famous, and it was unstoppable, achieving the first surpassing of Cheng Long.

Although Cheng Long is very popular, Cheng Long's works have never influenced more than one billion people like Li Lianjie's Shaolin Temple.

The third stage, the early 1990s, saw both teams win and lose, but Li Lianjie was more powerful, and the Huang Feihong series of films was far ahead.

Li Lianjie has not changed much since the"Shaolin Temple Trilogy", and his brilliance has become dimmer for several years, but he is full of determination and has not been discouraged.

He is full of fighting spirit, and finally, his luck has turned and he has ushered in his brilliant spring.

In 1991, Li Lianjie made"Huang Feihong: Top Gun", the pioneering work of the new Chinese martial arts film.

Its breadth and depth are talked about with relish:"Especially the reflection on social changes, the insight into human nature, etc.

, the excavation is very accurate and worthy of the name.

At this time, Li Lianjie completely swept away the haze of the past, and was sent to the status of Kung Fu Emperor, which is unstoppable.

In the early 1990s, due to the rise of Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Long was eclipsed by Zhou Xingchi at that time, and there were no noteworthy film works! The fourth stage, in the mid-to-late 1990s, Cheng Long surpassed Li

Lianjie with the"Police Story" series of films, the exploration of kung fu and comedy.

After filming the"Huang Feihong series" movies, Li Lianjie successively filmed the Fang Shiyu series, Fist of Fury, Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng, Swordsman: Invincible in the East and other films, all of which achieved very good box office and reputation!

If we follow this context and trajectory, it will be difficult for Cheng Long to surpass Li Lianjie.

Surpass Li Lianjie, but the fact is just the opposite.

Cheng Long started to fight back after 1994.

A series of police movies such as Drunken Master 2, Rumble in the Bronx, Police Story: Simple Mission, and A Good Man dominated the box office charts of Hong Kong movies.

Perhaps Cheng Long was holding back a strong desire to make a film that surpassed the Huang Feihong series.

Although the Police Story series of movies could not surpass the Huang Feihong series in depth and reputation, it achieved a counterattack at the box office and surpassed it.

To be fair, in the above four stages, two wins and two losses, it was a tie.

Although there were wins and losses, overall, Cheng Long before the new millennium was The movie has a higher box office than Li Lianjie's movie, and Li Lianjie's movie is more colorful.

Taking the new millennium as the watershed, the 20 years before 2000 were the most productive time for Li Lianjie.

His film career blossomed, blossomed, and bore fruit.

He produced many excellent works and shot countless classic films, which established Li Lianjie's leading position as the king of Kung Fu.

No one has successfully challenged him for the next 30 years.

In a word, with a powerful combination of film works, Li Lianjie was invincible.

However, due to the overall environment of Hong Kong at that time, Li Lianjie's Hong Kong movies had a good reputation, but the box office was not as good as that of"Shuang Zhou Yicheng"!

The box office success of Cheng Long's movies in the late 1990s greatly inflated Cheng Long's confidence.

When Cheng Long was still obsessed with the altar, he did not expect that, with his understanding of Li Lianjie, Li Lianjie would no longer pose a threat to him.

But who would have thought that the former Kung Fu Emperor would advance all the way, relying on the film"Hero", his reputation became more and more prominent, and he had the momentum to challenge himself.

At this time, Cheng Long may have suddenly realized that Li Lianjie was worthy of being his strongest opponent.

The fifth stage, before 2010, Li Lianjie won.

In this stage, it can be said that you chased me and I was so lively.

If you released a movie like this, I would follow suit, with a momentum of PK to the end, and never give up until the winner is determined.

During this period, Li Lianjie, who had been at a disadvantage in the late 1990s, surpassed Cheng Long's movies with films such as"Hero" directed by Zhang Yi, the autobiographical film"Huo Yuanjia", and the costume blockbuster"The Warlords".

On the other hand, Cheng Long has filmed many Chinese-language films since entering the new millennium, and the number of his works is far higher than that of Li Lianjie, but his reputation and box office are worse!

Before this, Xu Jinyang had thought about whether he should replace Li Lianjie and act in these movies that Li Lianjie acted in, or intercept Li Lianjie to his own company and let him act.

After experiencing the whole process of filming"The Romance of the Condor Heroes", Xu Jinyang found that he probably didn't have the time to film. Even if he did, he would carefully select two or three dramas a year. For example, Zhou Xingchi and others, who had nearly 10 dramas a year at their peak, didn't have that much time.

Because Xu Jinyang wants to be a top chaebol, not an actor or a box office elixir, he should be more inclined to invest more generously in industry.

On the other hand, he also needs to spend time with his confidantes to make his family more prosperous.

Doesn't the system have a role-playing mode? Xu Jinyang still has to act.

But Xu Jinyang needs to find the kind of male protagonist who has special abilities, items and resources to perform, and there is no need to play the general ones.

Xu Jinyang once thought about whether to play the Huang Feihong series, but Huang Feihong's Foshan shadowless kick and other kung fu, to be honest, are not particularly advanced martial arts, it is better to play some martial arts movies. Therefore, Xu Jinyang decided to intercept Li Lianjie from the Yindu Organization.

Just now, he talked to Li Lianjie about his future development in fluent Mandarin.

Li Lianjie's Cantonese is not very good. After all, he has been dealing with mainlanders most of the time in these years, and he has not completely turned to teamwork with people from Hong Kong.

When he heard that Xu Jinyang, the son of a Hong Kong chaebol, actually spoke fluent Mandarin, he was very surprised and a little flattered.

He didn't expect that he, a big boss of a film company and the son of a chaebol, would be so approachable, which made him very emotional.

Li Lianjie didn't know that Xu Jinyang was planning to take his beloved wife Lizhi for himself. If he knew, he would probably want to kill Xu Jinyang now.

But Li Lianjie didn't have a God's perspective, and didn't know that the extremely charming woman was his true love in that time and space.

Xu Jinyang said to Li Lianjie:"Ajie, if you continue to stay in the Yindu organization, it's basically a big pot of rice, which can't inspire your talent at all.

No matter how good your performance is, your income will be restricted in the distribution.

If you talk about contribution, you will only make a few hundred yuan a year, at most a few thousand yuan.

Although it is much better than before, you have to know that talents like you in Hong Kong are paid millions of yuan for a film.

Think about how big the gap is.

"

In the early 1980s, Hu Guanjie's guaranteed salary was two million, and so was Cheng Long.

Li Lianjie took a breath of cold air. It turned out that he had not entered this circle, and had no idea how high the salaries of these Hong Kong stars were now. When he found out, he was completely shocked. It turned out that there was such a big difference. Thinking about how he only made one dollar a day before, and a few hundred dollars a year, and he was exhausted, it was simply ridiculous.

Seeing that Li Lianjie was very excited, Xu Jinyang patted him on the shoulder and said,"If the distribution mechanism is not well managed, it will be difficult for mainland films to develop. At present, the distribution mechanism of Hong Kong films is still very able to stimulate the fighting spirit of talents. For a genius like you who has kung fu, image, temperament and acting skills, it would be a waste to stay in the mainland or in the Silver Capital Organization.

You should come to act in Hong Kong films and new martial arts films. By then, the box office will easily reach tens of millions, and you can also get a salary of millions.……"

Xu Jinyang could see that Li Lianjie was simply afraid of poverty in the mainland at this time, so he valued money more now, so Xu Jinyang talked to Li Lianjie about money.

He reiterated his conditions for discovering Li Lianjie, giving him a signing fee of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and a guaranteed annual salary of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, which would increase by 10% every year. In addition, he was guaranteed to have at least three movies every year, and the salary would not be less than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

When Li Lianjie heard these numbers, he was very happy, but he still had his own ideas and pretended to be very calm, because he didn't know if this was Xu Jinyang's trump card. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

If it were an ordinary movie company boss, he might be affected by the state that Li Lianjie pretended to be, and he would raise the price.

But Xu Jinyang knew Li Lianjie very well. Although Li Lianjie was a kung fu superstar, he was not a reckless man with strong limbs and a simple mind. On the contrary, he was very smart and had his own opinions.

Before this, after the Shaolin Temple became a big hit, Li Lianjie worked as a martial arts coach in the Beijing Sports Committee. Li Lianjie had been to Hong Kong many times for filming. When he passed through Shenzhen, he was excited and infected by the vigorous construction of the Special Administrative Region at that time. He decided to leave the prosperous capital and join the ranks of pioneers of the new city in the southern border, using sweat and wisdom to open up a new career.

This is the polite words, but the main reason is that within the Beijing Sports Committee system, even if you are the No.

1 male star of Shaolin Temple, the salary is still 1 yuan a day, but the Hong Kong actors who work with you can get dozens of yuan a day even if they play corpses and run small roles.

In addition, after the release of Shaolin Temple, it raked in 16 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong, and set a box office record of 160 million in the mainland with a ticket price of 10 cents.

With such a big box office result, he only got a few hundred yuan.

Li Lianjie must feel a little unwilling and unbalanced.

After many twists and turns, on the eve of the National Day in 1984, Li Lianjie finally got his wish and was transferred to work in the Sports Committee of Shenzhen.

Li Lianjie has forced himself to think about things and problems since he was a child, and strives to make himself a thoughtful and cultured person.

When he was in Shenzhen, Li Lianjie felt that his knowledge was insufficient, so he signed up for Shenzhen University.

After careful assessment, Shenzhen University accepted him as a formal student of the school and issued a student ID and books.

However, because Li Lianjie was busy with too many things, it was impossible for him to stay in school to study all day; he could only use his spare time to study on his own, and the teacher would visit him regularly for tutoring, and he would take exams regularly.

Li Lianjie would use his spare time to self-study business management and literary theory.

During his stay in Hong Kong to recuperate (he was injured while filming"North and South Shaolin"), he studied while recuperating.

Many people attribute Li Lianjie's success to"luck" and good looks. In fact, these two factors are definitely there, but this cannot erase his efforts.

These two are not the key to his success. The key to his success is being good at thinking.

Li Lianjie knows how to stop at the right time and transform without any regret. He won the martial arts championship for 5 consecutive years. Most people think that he is in his prime at the age of 16 or 17, and it is the time when he should win more championships. This age is also the time when he is full of blood and attaches great importance to fame and glory. However, Li Lianjie resolutely chose to give up his identity as an athlete and go to film.

This is undoubtedly an important turning point in his fate. He is very smart and knows that he has won 5 consecutive championships, which is enough to prove his strength. Since his salary has reached the top, it is meaningless to compete.

Maybe one day he will be eliminated and embarrassed. Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to withdraw when he is popular. Facts have proved that his choice is right."Shaolin Temple" became a hit.

After Li Lianjie finished filming Monk Jueyuan, he failed several times in the same series of styles, which made him understand that acting cannot rely on kung fu and actions alone.

That would be just a killing machine without the embodiment of profound connotations.

So he is about to transform and constantly challenge new heights in the play to hone his acting skills, so that his future performances will no longer be just the interpretation of martial arts actions, but also a deeper embodiment.

So when we see Li Lianjie's classic movies, we always feel that there is a deeper meaning behind them, not just limited to various classic martial arts moves that can stimulate adrenaline.

No matter what kind of movie it is, it must have a story, connotation, and soul to be exciting and likable, especially in martial arts movies, if it is just fighting and killing, it is meaningless. It is precisely because Li Lianjie knows how to inject soul into the characters in the movie that the audience has a deep understanding, thinking, and discussion of the movie, so that the movie will not appear empty, and the audience can better understand what Li Lianjie wants to express.

In fact, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are not reckless men with strong limbs and simple minds. They are all very smart. They have successfully transformed from actors to capital itself.

It is precisely because of his thorough understanding of Li Lianjie that Xu Jinyang is willing to support Li Lianjie. He believes that at least in the next ten years, Li Lianjie will be a big cash cow.

Xu Jinyang can see that Li Lianjie is very satisfied with the conditions he proposed, but he is not sure whether the conditions he proposed can be better, so Li Lianjie pretends to be not very satisfied.

Xu Jinyang said calmly:"Ajie, if you think the conditions are not good, you can turn around and leave.

If you think the conditions are good, let's sign the contract right now. I like to be resolute and do not like to drag things out."

Li Lianjie saw Xu Jinyang's impetuous look and knew that he should not pretend anymore. He nodded and said

"Actually, I am very satisfied, but I have a question. My senior sister Huang Qiuyan, who is also my girlfriend, is also very good. I hope the company will sign her as well."

Xu Jinyang shook his head and said,"I have seen your senior sister and you in"North and South Shaolin". In terms of image, temperament and acting skills, she can only be regarded as average, and my company wants top talents, so I can only sign you, and your salary is enough to support both of you."

Since"Shaolin Temple" became popular, Li Lianjie has actually encountered a lot of digging. Xinyicheng Film, Golden Harvest Film, and many major film companies, including the previous Shaw Brothers Film, have contacted him and wanted to dig him out. But the conditions they gave, to be honest, are indeed much better than those in the mainland, but compared with Xu Jinyang, they are far worse.

Li Lianjie signed his own name at the time. This time, Xu Jinyang intercepted the Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie from two major film companies, and he will get huge rewards and returns.……
