Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 138

In the evening, after leaving the cafe, Zhou Xingxing found a public phone booth.

I stuffed the change in, pressed the number, and after a brief busy tone, the call was connected.

"Hello? Brother Wan? It's me, Xingzi. I have something to ask you for help..."

The Wan Ge mentioned by Zhou Xingxing is none other than Wan Ziliang, who became famous on Hong Kong Island in 86 through the movie "Mobile Tycoon" and took advantage of the trend to become the leading big brother image on the Hong Kong film screen.

At this time, Wan Ziliang had just transferred from Li's TV station to TVB and had not yet taken any roles. Instead, he was assigned by TVB to be the instructor of the TVB actor training class and got to know Zhou Xingxing.

Perhaps it was because of their poor background that Wan Ziliang and Zhou Xingxing hit it off immediately. It was precisely because of this fate that Wan Ziliang later recommended Zhou Xingxing to Lee Xiuxian and let Zhou Xingxing play a supporting role in Li Xiuxian's movie, and he took advantage of the opportunity. He won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor and gained a foothold in the film industry for the first time.

During that period, Zhou Xingxing and Wan Ziliang were definitely close friends. Even at Wan Ziliang's wedding, Zhou Xingxing served as the best man. It was a pity that when Wan Ziliang returned to the film industry, he and Zhou Stars had a dispute over their film collaboration, and the two may not be strangers in the end.

Of course, these things that will happen in the future have nothing to do with the present. At this moment, Zhou Xingxing and Wan Ziliang are still just masters and disciples who have a good relationship, so when he heard that Zhou Xingxing came to him for help, Wan Ziliang was naturally unhappy. Will refuse.

"What's the matter? You tell me first."

Zhou Xingxing took the phone and informed Zhang Yang that he wanted to discuss film cooperation with Lu Liangwei.

After hearing what Zhou Xingxing said, Wan Ziliang didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

These days, everyone knows that a big screen is more profitable than a TV. If you have the opportunity to enter a movie theater, it is naturally better than watching a small TV.

Not only did he not have to apologize for such a thing, he might even thank him in return. Wan Ziliang naturally had no reason not to agree, but after Wan Ziliang agreed, he kept it in mind. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Xingzai, do you know which company hired Liang Wei to make the film?"

"This is Mr. Zhang Yang's Yingyang Pictures. Don't worry, Brother Wan, Mr. Zhang is absolutely reliable."

Publicity?

Hearing this name, Wan Zi couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy in his conscience.

Last year, there were a total of four films, three of which were among the top ten at the annual box office. In addition, there is also a prosperous mixed martial arts league. Anyone who is involved in film and television entertainment in Hong Kong now, will they know this popular fried chicken?
Being chosen by him to make a movie was a great opportunity, and even Wan Ziliang was filled with excitement.

"Xingzi, are you familiar with Mr. Zhang?"

"It's not that familiar." Zhou Xingxing scratched his head and smiled innocently, but there was pride in his tone. "I have met Mr. Zhang several times. He praised me for my talent. Sometimes I go I’ll have a few words with him at the boxing gym.”

When Zhou Xingxing said that he was talented, he was referring to boxing. However, in Wan Ziliang's perception, Zhang Yang's status as an actor was undoubtedly greater than his status as a boxer. Therefore, when Zhou Xingxing said that he was praised for his talent, Wan Ziliang was Ziliang's talent naturally turned into an acting talent.

"Mr. Zhang is really discerning. Hey, Xingzi, next time you go to the boxing gym, can you take me with you?"

"Are you interested too, Brother Wan? No problem, next time I go, I will definitely ask you to come with me!"

After hearing Zhou Xingxing's full agreement, Wan Zi hung up the phone with a satisfied conscience.Although this opportunity is not lost to him, he believes that as long as Zhang Yang sees his acting skills, he will have the opportunity to sign under Yingyang Pictures. By then, he may also be able to start his own career on the big screen. ’s journey into the film industry.

……

Two days later.

Zhang Yang met Lu Liangwei in the office of Yingyang Pictures.

As Wan Ziliang thought before, in today's film and television industry, no one wants to be on the big screen.

So when Zhang Yang put the contract on the table, Lu Liangwei signed his name without any hesitation.

After deciding on the choice of the eldest brother among the three Vietnamese gang members, the subsequent actors can also be decided accordingly.

Tony still followed the original plan, with Lu Huiguang taking the role. As for the youngest and most energetic Ahu among the trio, Zhang Yang thought about it for a moment and decided to give this opportunity to the youngest Zou Zhaolong.

Simon Yam, who was originally scheduled to play the role of Watson, did not match the temperament of the audition, so he was assigned to play the role of the adoptive father of the Vietnamese gang trio, who was also the fourth person in the original film. As for the role of Watson, his acting skills were also not good enough. Qian Xiaohao is responsible for the custom.

After confirming the entire cast, Chen Jiashang was still in charge of directing. In order to ensure that the film could be released in June, Zhang Yang had no intention of delaying and directly submitted an application to rent a studio to Jiahe.

After experiencing the disastrous failure of "The Legend of Shushan" during the Spring Festival, it was time for Jiahe to continue to fight back. Therefore, in the face of Zhang Yang's application, of course, they expedited the green light all the way and directly transferred the No. [-] studio to Zhang Yang.

On March 83, [-], under the witness of Mr. Guan, the crew completed the start-up ceremony and the filming of the film officially started.

It is still the traditional practice of Yingyang Pictures. The first scene of the first filming still starts with a fight scene.

However, this time, Zhang Yang did not participate in the first fight scene in person. Instead, he chose to film the scene where the Vietnamese trio clashed with Brother Shan. However, compared to the original film where Brother Shan was beaten throughout the whole process, Zhang Yang was in this scene There was still some extra scenes for him, allowing him to fight with Ah Hu for dozens of seconds more, and finally it was up to Lu Huiguang, who played Tony, to handle it.

After the props team arranged the venue to look like a golf course, they called all the actors who were rehearsing for the audition back to the venue. After confirming that the actors on both sides were in good position, Chen Jiashang picked up the speaker and started the countdown...

"Attention all departments, three, two, one... start shooting!"

In the scene, Qian Xiaohao, who plays Watson, after teasing with Ah Hu for a while, suddenly came to Lu Liangwei's side with a solemn expression and lowered his voice: "Brother, something seems not right."

Lu Liangwei turned his head and happened to see Brother Shan, played by Lin Guobin, leading a large group of people to approach menacingly.

The irrelevant personnel were driven away, and the two waves of people started to get angry. Qian Xiaohao, who played Watson, was kicked away by Brother Shan. Ahu took the initiative to block the way, and Brother Shan finally asked: "Brother, don't you?" When you do something, ask your subordinates to step in and help? Where is Tony? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony, played by Lu Huiguang, strode up from behind, picked up the stool, and threw it directly!
As the stool hit Brother Shan, the first fight scene of "The Fuse" was officially staged!
