    "Dragon Tiger" was immediately sought after by movie fans as soon as it was released. This movie not only announced the arrival of Zhou Yunfa's era, but also made another leader in the Chinese film industry, Lin Lingdong, stand out. He is also a trainee of the third training class of TVB Wireless.  A man who has worked hard to become the highest-paid male star in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and a man who has accumulated a lot of experience to complete the perfect transition from actor to director.

    After the film was released, a large number of film critics defined "The Legend of the Dragon" as the most successful "hero film" after "A Better Tomorrow". The entire plot of the film starts from brotherhood and concentrates all conflicts on "Gao Qiu" played by Zhou Runfa.  "Body, in the ending, "Gao Qiu" was shot by one of his own and fell into the arms of "A Hu". A Hu did not say anything and left his "brother" to escape. At this time, Gao Qiu finally said "I  Actually, they are the police." Gao Qiu died before A Hu could react. At this time, the camera took a close-up of the eyes of Gao Qiu's boss and A Hu, once again carrying forward the traditional Chinese heroic spirit. No wonder  Film critics have almost compared the film to "A Better Tomorrow."

    However, Zhou Wen does not quite agree with the film critics. After all, he is also a time traveler. Although the film critics define it as a police film, a hero film, or some other type, Zhou Wen only knows that "undercover" will become a very fashionable style in many years.  The identity of the character is very mysterious and attracts a lot of money. After a long trough in Hong Kong movies, "Infernal Affairs" brings the "undercover" image into full play.

    "Dragon Tiger" teamed up with "Dragon Tiger" and "Feng Yun" to be like dragons and tigers at the box office, directly overturning the dream of "Dao Ma Dan" to reach the 20 million mark. New Art City also used two movies to show its peers  Declare war: We will not be defeated easily!  Lin Lingdong finally became another elite cadre who was reused by Boss Lei after Xu Ke, Zhou Wen, and Wu Yusen in the post-New Art City era.

    "Swordsman" and "Dragon Tiger" both entered the top ten at the box office in the new year, which made Debao worried. After consultation with Debao's senior management, "Happy 5" was quickly arranged to be released. No matter what, he could not let Xinyi  The whole city will grow bigger.

    Coincidentally, Golden Harvest also quickly made adjustments, arranging for "Heroes", also starring Zhou Runfa, to compete for money. After being attacked by the two major film companies, New Art City did not panic.  At the annual meeting after the Spring Festival, Boss Lei said this while holding a cigar: "A few years ago, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers teamed up to suppress us. We slapped them hard with our box office. Last summer, Golden Harvest and Debao jointly attacked Zhou Brothers.  , we still have no danger. If we talk about the past, I, Lao Lei, still had trouble sleeping and eating. But now we have three powerful generals, Awen, Asen, and Adong. Let them be blown by the wind and waves, we will remain as still as a mountain, fearing  He¡¯s a bird and a bear!¡±

    Boss Lei speaks in a quack-like manner.  Unlike Zou and He, who started out in movies, and Pan Disheng, who started out in watches, he rose up from the grassroots step by step. His industry spans real estate, transportation, film and television, etc. His family is so rich that others are jealous.  The hard work in his youth gave him some sense of loyalty.  Even in the film industry, he looks like a big shot.

    Xinyi City has had dazzling glory and precarious troughs, and Boss Lei's mood has also fluctuated. After so many ups and downs, he finally stabilized his mentality, because Xinyi City has Zhou's joint operations, and because Xinyi City has Zhou's joint operations,  There are still Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, and Lin Lingdong in the city. Although the older generation backbones such as Mecca, Zeng Zhiwei and others have left, the foundation has not been damaged.  Boss Lei feels the same as Ming Jing: There is still hope for Xinyi City to win the title!

    Different from Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, ??Teddy Luo Bin, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, Lin Lingdong and others, Zhou Wen participated in the New Art City New Year Meeting as a strategic partner. He sat on the right side of Boss Lei, relatively  Others are seated further forward, which shows that Boss Lei is very careful in arranging seats.

    The backbone elites of Xinyi City have no doubts about this.  Zhou Wen's achievements are in front of us. Hong Kong movies are in a stage of rapid development where a hundred flowers are blooming. The rules in the industry are not like those of a few years ago, which were based on seniority. As long as you have the ability.  As long as you can make money, as long as you can help everyone.  Everyone will support you.

    Zhou Wen used practical actions to prove that he deserves to sit in that position!

    After Boss Lei¡¯s enthusiastic guidance, the meeting finally entered the substantive stage, and several leaders began to report on this year¡¯s shooting plans and goals.

    Huang Baiming's task this year is very simple. He plans to shoot a comedy film that reflects civilian life in the second half of the year. This is an idea he came up with after watching "The Rich Man". The cast has not yet been determined, but he himself will definitely participate in the performance.  of.

    Shi Tian doesn¡¯t have any filming plans, and he still works as a producer at Xinyi City and does behind-the-scenes work. He is the most leisurely person in the company. Xu Ke asked him to participate in the planning of the sequel to "A Better Tomorrow".

    Within the core of the old New Art City, only Xu Ke is currently the most popular. Although "Dao Ma Dan" was disrupted by "The Legend of Dragon and Tiger", it also won an exciting box office of 19.85 million Hong Kong dollars in the local area, which can be said to be a close call.With the price exceeding 20 million, and the victory over Jiahe and Debao in the Taiwan market, Mr. Xu finally found his psychological balance.

    "My main task this year is to focus on filming the prequel and the third part of "A Better Tomorrow". The prequel script will be completed later this year. I am planning to show it to Awen later. As for the third part, it is just a plan. I still have to read the prequel script.  The decision will be made after the box office." Xu Ke smoked a cigar in style. After a pause, he looked at Zhou Wen and continued: "The remaining work is to fully assist Awen in computer special effects. One is "The Legend of Wesley"  ", one is "A Chinese Ghost Story", the pressure is not that great!"

    Hearty laughter suddenly came from the conference room. As we all know, Xu Ke himself is notoriously strict with the film's visuals and sound effects. Being able to make him shout under great pressure shows that Zhou Wen's requirements are even better.

    Regarding "The Legend of Wesley", everyone has basically seen two versions, and they all agree that Zhou Wen's version of Wesley is absolutely superior in terms of action. Especially after watching "Brothers of Dragon and Tiger" by Cheng Long, this concept has become even more ingrained.  The martial arts action alone can tie it with "Brothers of the Dragon and Tigers". Zhou Wen also added computer special effects to enhance the sci-fi style of the film, completely to create a new peak. By then, whether Jiahe's annual championship can be stabilized is questionable.  is unknown.

    "A Dong, what are your plans over there? "Dragon Tiger Storm" is gaining momentum, so you won't be lazy, right?" Boss Lei focused his attention on Lin Lingdong.

    "I want to make another romantic film." Lin Lingdong said with steady eyes: "Asen and I had similar childhood experiences, so we have more common languages, but my style is not as aesthetic and romantic as his. I prefer a realistic style. Later,  I also communicated with Ah Wen and he said that you might as well make a series of "Feng Yun" and use a realistic style to show the completely different brotherly relationship with Ah Sen."

    "Really?" Boss Lei became interested. He turned his head and smiled at Zhou Wen: "I didn't expect that you are still a versatile person. Everyone in the company revolves around you. I'm afraid it won't be long before all my subordinates come to mess with you.  Got it!"

    "Brother Kun is joking." After hearing this, Zhou Wen smiled bitterly and said, "If I say it's a coincidence, you won't believe it. My main purpose of communicating with Brother Dong is to make money. Everyone knows that I am an investor in "Dragon Tiger Storm"  And the producer. Any movie that Fa Ge stars in must have me as a part, so if you want to borrow Fa Ge in the future, you have to be prepared to be beaten by me!"

    "I heard that Fa Zai was borrowed by Debao to make a literary film. You" Boss Lei asked gossiping.

    "Ahem, Brother Kun, you know too much!" Zhou Wen looked embarrassed.

    Boss Lei shrugged nonchalantly and said, "What are you afraid of? If Pan Laoer stops his brother from making a fortune, I will be the first to refuse. But I'm curious, how do you judge whether a movie is a hit or not?"

    "It's the script." Zhou Wen spread his hands and said naturally: "I have very loose requirements for the artists signed by the company, but when they accept the film, they must let me read the script and make sure that the image of the script and their acting skills can have the greatest chemistry before I agree.  Borrow or not, otherwise it will be useless no matter how high the price is."

    "According to you, you have read the script of A Dong's new drama. What is the story?" Boss Lei asked curiously.

    "Prison!" Zhou Wen held his chin and said with a watery face: "The title of the film is "Prison Storm"."

    ¡°Hey~ It¡¯s really not an ordinary way!¡± Even Xu Ke and Wu Yusen were surprised at this time. You must know that the Hong Kong film industry has never heard of a film about prisons since the opening of the port.

    I saw everyone looking surprised.  Zhou Wen smiled and said: "Don't underestimate the prison. In fact, the stories that happen in the prison are also very thrilling and ups and downs. For example, Dong Ge's script reflects how two prisoners convicted of manslaughter fought against the evil forces of the prison. The story itself  It¡¯s an attractive gimmick, because in everyone¡¯s mind, unless you go to jail after committing a crime, prison is a very mysterious place, and some people may never experience it in their lives.¡±

    "Awen, you are clearly misleading everyone. Who can just go to the prison for a walk!" Huang Baiming protested.

    Lin Lingdong said: "With different entry points, the themes and ideas captured are also different. Just like the big turning point in last year's "Rivals 2", the core of my theme is also admonishment, persuading people to do good and not to do wrong.  Don¡¯t break the law and cherish yourself and your family.¡±

    "It seems that A Dong and A Wen have already coordinated. I have no objection." Boss Lei nodded and others naturally stopped expressing their opinions.

    Boss Lei looked sideways at Zhou Wen and said, "Awen, everyone has talked about their plans for this year, and I want to hear yours even more."

    Zhou Wen smiled, and then mused: "Perhaps I am the busiest one here. After finishing "The Legend of Wesley", I will start "A Chinese Ghost Story" immediately. In addition, after communicating with Brother Dong, I also want to make a prison movie."

    "You take pictures too?" Everyone was shocked."Yes, as I said just now, prison movies are a very good genre. Brother Dong's prison scenes reflect the various shady scenes in real prisons. I can make prison action movies, such as setting up a big arena in the prison, and the prisoners  Winning the championship through wrestling can get you a reduced sentence or even freedom. Another example is that one of you committed a crime and was about to be beheaded. As a brother, I would not hesitate to commit a crime to rescue you and accompany you in planning a jailbreak"

    Zhou Wen kept talking for half an hour, leaving everyone in Xinyi City dumbfounded. They never expected that Zhou Wen would classify a prison type in such detail, and just listening to the examples he gave would make people fascinated.

    "Anyway, in my opinion, comedy, action, suspense and other genres can be combined with prisons. As long as everyone combines the plot carefully, prison movies can be carried forward."

    "I'm convinced!" Xu Ke took the lead in applauding.

    "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!" Huang Baiming was completely convinced.

    ¡°It¡¯s so amazing, I want to cut your brain open now and see what else is inside!¡± Boss Lei laughed.

    After everyone applauded, Zhou Wen sighed and said: "Actually, my most important task at the moment is to compete with Debao Company for Hollywood share."

    Debao announced a high-profile alliance a few years ago with Paramount in the United States, preparing to extradite hip-hop genre films popular in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia to North America. It plans to organically combine them with popular dance in the United States to complete its high-end international route.  .

    Integrating with international standards and allowing Hong Kong films to take root on the other side of the ocean has been the goal that all Hong Kong filmmakers have been striving for. Unfortunately, this dream that should have been realized ended with the death of Bruce Lee. Later, Golden Harvest Company reluctantly sent Cheng Long to Hollywood after several efforts.  , it is a pity that Cheng Long was defeated and had to return to Hong Kong to look for opportunities for development.

    Even since the establishment of New Art City, Golden Harvest has not been able to shake Jiahe's status in overseas distribution in Europe and the United States. Zhou Wen suddenly raised this heavy topic, and everyone, including Boss Lei, fell silent.

    Why?

    No one can give the answer.

    After a long time, Boss Lei let out a long sigh, patted Zhou Wen on the shoulder and said, "Awen, we old guys have struggled for so many years and still can't surpass Jiahe. Even if we take the international route, we can't be like a tiger but a dog.  You are different. You have skills like Bruce Lee, and you have better hardware than Cheng Long. You can definitely win, so everyone's hope is on you. As long as you speak up, ask for money, give money, and ask for people,  As long as I frown, my surname is not Lei!"

    If we talk about Zhou in the past, Zhou Wen in the past would have been laughed out of the industry when he made bold statements about attacking Hollywood, but now he is not fighting alone. Behind him are New Art City and Princess Jin, as well as Boss Lei, a big financial backer.  With strong financial backing, no one doubts his ability to enter Hollywood.

    However, Xu Ke and others began to murmur again. It was true that Zhou Wen was capable, but it was definitely not an easy task to carve out a place in Hollywood where ghosts ruled. Bruce Lee was humiliated in Hollywood and returned to Hong Kong to film "Fist of Fury".  "The Gate", "Brother Tangshan", "Across the River" and "Enter the Dragon" declare to the world that the Chinese are still proud of the international film industry. Bruce Lee is still having such a difficult time. Zhou Wen, are your luck better than Bruce Lee?
