Hong Kong 1990: From stuntman to King of Kung Fu

Chapter 88 The Big Shot's Game Showcases the Scene

On April 8th, filming for "Swordsman II" officially wrapped up.

After more than a month of intensive filming, the entire crew was exhausted.

Brigitte Lin even slumped down on the prop box.

"Sister Qingxia, are you alright?"

Tang Long, who was standing nearby, noticed Lin Qingxia's condition and quickly helped her up, asking her with concern.

The drowning incident occurred that day. Although the filming was successfully completed in the end, after work, Brigitte Lin discovered that her scalp had been rubbed raw by the metal hair ornament.

Underneath that red silk costume, there were actually three layers of thermal underwear.

During underwater filming, sweat mixed with the pool water, and he fell ill that very night, running a high fever for three consecutive days.

In order not to delay the entire production schedule, she insisted on continuing filming even though she was not fully recovered.

"I'm fine, I just relaxed a bit, I just need to rest."

"You need to take a good rest for a while."

Tang Long and Brigitte Lin have collaborated on three films, but it was only during the filming of "Swordsman II" that he truly began to admire Brigitte Lin.

She endured the most hardship while making this movie.

"Please tell Director Xu that I won't be attending the wrap party."

"No problem, the wrap party isn't important, we'll have a celebration party later."

"Are you so sure this movie will be a box office hit?"

"Of course, most of us actors can roughly sense whether a movie is good or bad during filming."

The filming of "Swordsman II" was a great success, with everyone working together seamlessly. The plot, performances, and action choreography were all impeccable.

I don't believe you can't tell this is a good movie.

And I dare say, this will be one of your classic masterpieces.

"Haha, I hope it's as you say."

After the wrap party, the entire crew began their return to Hong Kong.

Tang Long did not follow the main group, but instead went north to visit the set of "Painted Skin: The Yin-Yang King".

Rosamund Kwan didn't wait for him on set the whole time.

After resting for two days and recovering, she returned to Hong Kong.

With "Once Upon a Time in China II" about to begin filming, she needs to make some preparations.

This gave him the opportunity to visit Wang Zuxian on set.

Compared to Xu Ke's fast pace, Hu Jinquan is at the other extreme.

The crew of "Painted Skin: The Yin-Yang King" arrived in mainland China almost two months earlier than them, but the filming schedule is only half complete.

When Wang Zuxian saw Tang Long, she was overjoyed and rushed towards him in her costume.

Then, with a happy expression, she introduced him to director King Hu and lead actor Cheng Shao-chiu.

Zheng Shaoqiu was somewhat surprised that Wang Zuxian and Tang Long had gotten together.

However, he wasn't familiar with Tang Long, only knowing that he was a newly emerging kung fu star in Hong Kong, so he gave him a brief greeting.

Hu Jinquan, however, treated Tang Long differently.

He highly approves of the TV series "Reign of Assassins" and also has a good impression of the screenwriter Tang Long.

Tang Long spent three days on the set of "Painted Skin: The Yin-Yang King", allowing Wang Zuxian to finally relieve her longing.

Having mastered the new technique, she was no longer as helpless as before, and finally managed to hold on until the very end before happily fainting.

Wang Zuxian was in significantly better condition during the daytime filming, which even surprised King Hu, who jokingly said he wouldn't let Tang Long leave.

But Tang Long still left amidst Wang Zuxian's reluctant gaze.

He had to leave as the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was about to take place.

He was nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenplay, so he certainly couldn't refuse to attend.

What he didn't know was that there was someone in Hong Kong who cared about him.

The office of the chairman of the board of directors of the Chinese Group is located on the top floor of Queen's Building in Causeway Bay.

Old Liu slammed Tang Long's photo onto his desk and looked at his assistant standing opposite him: "You mean Rosamund Kwan is having an affair with this Tang Long guy?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu, Rosamund Kwan and Tang Lung met at the end of last year while filming the movie 'Twin Dragons' and have maintained a very good relationship ever since."

Not long ago, they collaborated again on the film "Swordsman II," directed by Tsui Hark. I confirmed with the crew that they lived together during filming.

"At the end of last year, when I first took a liking to Rosamund Kwan, I never imagined I'd lose to an actress?"

Old Liu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Chairman Liu, should I have someone warn him?"

Old Liu glanced at his assistant and said calmly, "Don't always think about fighting and killing. We are businessmen, and we value harmony above all else."

He didn't offend me, and we have no conflict of interest, so why should I bother him?

She's just a woman, not even an important one. If she loses, she loses. What impact will it have?

But I'm curious, Rosamund Kwan is willing to give up her mansion and money for Tang Long, I wonder if Tang Long would be willing to give up those things for her?

"Chairman Liu, are you still going to give this Tang Long a luxury mansion and money?"

"It's not a gift; let's see what he chooses."

Go find him and tell him that if he's willing to leave Rosamund Kwan, I can give him a villa in Lion Rock and HK$50 million in cash.

"If he were truly willing to leave Rosamund Kwan, would he really give her all these things?"

"Of course, you think I'm joking?"

Let Rosamund Kwan take a good look at the person she chose. When it comes to money, she might not necessarily choose her firmly.

I really want to see what her expression is.

"Then Mr. Liu will be able to win Ms. Rosamund Kwan back."

"Do you think I'd take any kind of junk?"

Upon hearing this, the assistant's forehead immediately broke out in a sweat.

Fortunately, Lao Liu didn't say anything more, but instead told him to go and do his work.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he gently closed the office door, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The pressure from Lao Liu was too great.

But at the same time, I couldn't help but be astonished that someone would be willing to spend one or two hundred million dollars just to see Rosamund Kwan's regretful expression.

The villas in Lion Rock are worth at least 100 million yuan, and given the current booming real estate market, their value could rise even further.

The boss truly lives up to his reputation.

He wished he could replace Tang Long. If he had the choice, he would be disrespectful to the villa and the 50 million in cash if he hesitated for even a second longer.

Tang Long, whom he envied, did not return to his home in Taigu City until April 15th.

Liu Jialing was waiting for him at home.

"Ah Long, you're finally back."

"Are you getting impatient? Don't worry, your evening gown for the awards ceremony has been prepared for you for a long time."

Since the plan is for Liu Jialing to follow Fan Bingbing's path, then the red carpet at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony should naturally be another success.

Last year, her auspicious dragon robe with oriental clouds stunned the audience, and after the ceremony, she became the focus of media reports throughout Hong Kong.

Riding on this popularity, she filmed four or five movies in that year.

Despite lacking representative works, her popularity still rivals that of top-tier actresses such as Lin Chung-hung, Rosamund Kwan, and Wong Cho-han.

Moreover, many media outlets and viewers are already looking forward to seeing what kind of makeup and styling Liu Jialing will bring this time.

Tang Long naturally had to help Liu Jialing save face.
