Chapter 16 The true nature of a hero

Cai Zhiliang stopped and listened, but his heart was bleeding secretly. This was "A Better Tomorrow", a movie about Zhou Runfa's battle to become a god, but he just passed by him. If he had acted earlier, he might have invested in this movie.

Movie.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qingxia asked.

Cai Zhiliang pointed to the nearby house and said, "The lines are being read over there."

"How strange, this was originally a film set... Hey, it seems to be Zhou Runfa..." Lin Qingxia seemed to have discovered a new world, obviously unable to understand Cai Zhiliang's frustrated mood at this time,

"It's Zhou Runfa's lines that make people excited. Do you know what kind of movie they are filming over there?" Cai Zhiliang followed Lin Qingxia's train of thought and asked.

Lin Qingxia shook her head and said: "I don't know, what lines did you just say?"

"Ahem..." Cai Zhiliang cleared his throat and said, "I want to fight for something, not to prove that I am better than others, I just want to tell others that I must get back what I have lost with my own hands!"

"Haha..." Lin Qingxia was amused by Cai Zhiliang's somewhat exaggerated voice. She looked at Cai Zhiliang and commented: "This line is also inspirational, but it is not as funny as your voice, and you dare to say that you are an actor.

"

"I'm not a professional to begin with."

Cai Zhiliang suddenly felt his face turn dark. After Lin Qingxia finished laughing, he suggested: "Shall we go over and take a look?"

Lin Qingxia and Zhou Yunfa are also familiar with each other. The two have just finished filming "Dream Man" together, which is expected to be released in April this year. Lin Qingxia originally wanted to make a move, but she thought that now that she and Cai Zhiliang are together, it is really difficult to go to the studio together.

He immediately declined and said: "We are filming over there, so let's wait until we have free time for lunch."

"All right."

At this moment, Cai Zhiliang saw Peng Cheng waving to him and a strange man standing next to him. He could only apologize and said: "Miss Lin, I'm afraid I can't go with you. There is a friend over there. I'll go over and say hello.

Please show me the way and I'll go there in a moment."

Lin Qingxia also noticed Peng Cheng, pointed to the distance and said: "Go around the red house and turn right."

Cai Zhiliang looked along the slender jade fingers and said, "Okay, thank you. I'll see you later."

"goodbye."

Viewed from the back, the round buttocks and plump slender waist convey the delicacy of a girl and the charm of a mature woman.

After the lady left, Cai Zhiliang turned around to look for Peng Cheng.

As soon as he walked in, he heard Peng Cheng introduce himself, "Ajie, this is Uncle He's nephew, Cai Zhiliang."

"Hello, just call me Ah Liang." Cai Zhiliang stretched out his hand to Jie Zi.

"Hello, my name is Li Jie, everyone calls me Ajie." Li Jie introduced himself without waiting for Peng Cheng to speak.

The two shook hands and seemed to know each other.

"A-Liang, Ajie are here to invest in movies just like us." Peng Cheng said the purpose of Li Jie's coming here.

Cai Zhiliang was a little suspicious when he heard Li Jie's Taiwanese accent, but after hearing Peng Cheng's introduction, he had an idea.

At this time, Hong Kong films were very popular in Taiwan, which attracted Taiwanese businessmen to begin to enter the Hong Kong film market in large numbers. This would reach its climax in the following year when scholar-owner Cai Songlin joined forces with the shareholders of Golden Princess Entertainment to establish Xinbao Cinema Line. Li

Since Jie and Peng Cheng knew each other, their identities became clear.

"I know a place, let's go there and chat." Li Jie suggested as he was obviously familiar with this place.

Naturally, Cai Zhiliang and Peng Cheng had no objections. What Cai Zhiliang didn't expect was that the place Li Jie was talking about was the red house that Lin Qingxia just pointed to.

Cai Zhiliang sat on the sofa and asked casually: "Ajie, which movie are you investing in?"

"Oh... don't mention it." When talking about this matter, Li Jie looked unlucky and said: ""A Better Tomorrow" is preparing to withdraw funding."

"Withdraw capital? Why..." Cai Zhiliang was envious, but also a little funny. What he envied was that Li Jie had invested in this movie and was destined to make a lot of money. What was funny was that he was planning to withdraw capital. It was like someone had won the jackpot but didn't know the result.

It was sold to someone else cheaply before.

Li Jie explained: "When I originally invested, I thought it was director Xu Ke. Who could have imagined that when things happened, it was replaced by Wu Yusen. Do you think the box office can still be guaranteed?"

Regarding the director, Cai Zhiliang was not surprised, but Peng Cheng asked: "Didn't Wu Yusen go to Taiwan?"

Li Jie knocked on the table with his hand, with a depressed look on his face, and said: "Isn't this because Xu Ke invited me back? It's just for the "Comedian" he filmed last year, you said this..."

"The Comedian" was filmed the year before last and was only released in January last year. After seven days of release, it was a mess and only had a box office of 800,000. Therefore, Wu Yusen could not stay in Hong Kong anymore and had to escape to Taiwan like his predecessors.

Limelight.

Peng Cheng comforted him: "Since it is a work produced by Xu Ke Studio, it must also be produced by Xu Ke. Don't worry too much. From the name of the movie, it seems that Wang Yu has acted in one before. Is the content the same?"

"It's different." Li Jie shook his head and said, "Xie Xian also made a movie with the same name in the 1960s. Xu Ke adapted it based on this movie. The content is roughly the same."

"The era you mentioned is a bit early. I haven't seen it yet. Anyway, it's okay. Let's talk about it." Peng Cheng thought for a moment and had no impression of this movie.

"There is a gangster named Song Zihao. After he was released from prison, he wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin and reconcile with his younger brother who was a policeman. But at this time, the gangster and his former younger brother wanted to invite Song Zihao to work..." Li Jie is so eloquent.

Not bad, I roughly told the story once.

However, this is somewhat different from the story Cai Zhiliang knows. In Li Jie's description, Xiao Ma is just a supporting role and does not seem to have much role.

Did the story change due to time and space confusion? Cai Zhiliang also doesn’t know.

"Listen to me, why do you want to withdraw funding for such a wonderful movie?" Peng Cheng was a little confused.

But Cai Zhiliang asked: "Who did Director Wu and Song Zihao invite?"

Li Jie said: "Song Zihao will be played by Di Long, and Song Zijie will be played by Zhang Guorong."

Cai Zhiliang nodded, and he immediately said: "Di Daxia plays Song Zihao, which reminds me of the era when "The One-Armed Sword" was popular, and Wu Yusen is a disciple of Director Zhang Da, and maybe he will make a lot of money.

, I have the same view as Ah Cheng, I think there is no need for you to divest your capital."

Cai Zhiliang wanted to take over the job himself, but due to Cai Ming's relationship with him, when the film became a big hit, the relationship between the two companies was at loggerheads. So he decided to persuade him first and fulfill his responsibility as a friend. If Li

Jie still wants to withdraw his capital, so he can take over the business himself. The key is that the money will not flow to others, which will only benefit him.

Director Zhang Da is talking about Chang Cheh. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he made martial arts movies for Shaw Brothers, with box office of over one million, but the cost was only tens of thousands. He was the best-selling director at that time, and it was also the one that Shaw Brothers could dominate at that time.

The biggest contributor to the Hong Kong film market.

Di Long is director Zhang Da's favorite leading actor. He was a hit for a while, just like Cheng Long and Xu Guanjie today. But now, with the end of Shaw Brothers' martial arts, Di Long has also passed away.

Peng Cheng added: "There is also Zhang Guorong. With his influence in the music industry, he can sell a good box office."

"Speaking of this, it's even more irritating. I don't know what happened to Wu Yusen. It aggravated the role of Xiao Ma and made him more like a protagonist, so that Leslie Cheung was like a supporting actor." He was angry.
