Rosamund Kwan glared angrily at Nina Li Chi, just as a few more people arrived.

When Cheng Long saw the person who had arrived, he grabbed Shen Fang's arm.

"Brother, come and meet my elder brother."

Shen Fang nodded slightly when he saw the person who had arrived.

It was Jin Bao, Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu, Yuen Kwai, and others.

Jackie Chan and his fellow apprentices were practically pillars of the Hong Kong film industry during that era. Kam Po sported a slicked-back hairstyle and a flushed face, looking quite imposing, but ultimately useless. He might have the air of a big shot, but he was just an actor.

True big shots don't flaunt their power easily. In reality, big shots are humble; you can't fake it. However, in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, he truly holds a senior position.

Sammo Hung patted Jackie Chan on the shoulder.

"Ah Long, what's this banquet today? There are quite a few people here. And who is this gentleman?"

Cheng Long said respectfully, "This is Brother Shen, a wealthy businessman from the mainland, and also from our media industry. He just reached a cooperation agreement with Boss Yang."

Cheng Long's words simply introduced Shen Fang's identity: a wealthy man, in the media industry, and a collaborator with Boss Yang, directly stating that Shen Fang was no ordinary person.

Upon hearing this, Sammo Hung immediately greeted him with a warm smile, saying, "Hello, Mr. Shen."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Hong."

Shen Fang then greeted Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao, and the others.

"Brother, let's go over there and talk."

Jackie Chan made an inviting gesture, and Sammo Hung nodded, taking the lead as they arrived at the garden party hall. Lin Fengjiao and Xiao Fang also came over.

"Brother, you've arrived."

"Hello, Uncle."

Sammo Hung nodded.

Why is Sammo Hung so powerful? Logically speaking, Jackie Chan's status is definitely higher than Sammo's, and there's a reason for that. Sammo Hung was Jackie Chan's senior in martial arts, and he bullied Jackie Chan back then, making him wash and clean shoes, borrowing money and not paying it back. He got used to bullying him.

When Jackie Chan was young, he was quite arrogant and hot-blooded. He offended the triads, and they wanted to kill him. Why did they want to kill him?

At the time, a triad boss wanted to cast Jackie Chan in a movie, but the pay was very low, so Jackie Chan refused.

The triad boss, harboring resentment over the incident, gathered fifty or sixty thugs who rushed in and attacked Jackie Chan and his friends while they were having dinner. Faced with these knife-wielding men, and with only two ashtrays left on the table, all the friends present fled in terror. Only Sammo Hung bravely stayed behind to risk his life to save them. Ultimately, through the combined efforts of the two martial arts brothers, they managed to hold out until the police arrived, and Jackie Chan escaped unharmed.

Sammo Hung saved Jackie Chan's life; otherwise, we might not have seen Jackie Chan today. This is no joke. Many actors in Hong Kong have had guns held to their heads while filming, including Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, and others. Back then, many triads used movies to launder money, forcing actors to make films without paying them. This is no laughing matter.

This does not include the Xiang family. The Xiang family is relatively well-behaved. Xiang Huaqiang was quite farsighted and knew that Hong Kong was going to return to China. When he heard the news, Xiang Huaqiang immediately transformed his company into a film company. Otherwise, he would have been purged sooner or later.

Furthermore, the characters in the Young and Dangerous movies are based on real people; the film was made at the behest of the triads. It's just unexpected that it became so popular and influenced a generation.

Yuen Wah was Bruce Lee's stunt double. His most famous role is the landlord in Stephen Chow's movies. He is a well-known supporting actor and has appeared in many movies, especially villainous roles. When he was young, the bad guys he played were cold and imposing. He was good at kung fu and his action scenes were very exciting.

Yuen Qiu, who played Bao Zupo, still smokes cigarettes nowadays. Perhaps the reason why her portrayal of Bao Zupo left such a deep impression is because she was a perfect fit for the role; she herself is not much different from the character in the movie.

Yuen Biao was an action star in his youth, especially after the movie "The Peacock Prince" was released in Japan, which caused a sensation. Many Japanese people regarded Yuen Biao as an idol, and even the then Prime Minister of Japan was a fan of Yuen Biao. His movies had a great influence in Japan.

In the Japanese society at that time, ordinary people neither had the qualifications nor the money to watch DVDs; it was the social elite and the wealthy who watched them. The most popular ones were Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Yuen Biao. Other movie stars were not very popular in Japan.

In contrast, South Korea prefers handsome men, with the most popular being Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat, and Leon Lai. These men had a huge influence in South Korea, and "A Better Tomorrow" even broke box office records and influenced a generation of South Koreans. At that time, Hong Kong films were truly prosperous, with influence throughout Asia and even in Europe and America. Many American films were also produced by them, especially Jackie Chan's kung fu films.

Unfortunately, things started to decline in 2000. Newcomers couldn't take over, and the older generation was getting old. In later years, Hong Kong films still relied on Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung, and others to carry the torch, as the younger generation simply didn't have any outstanding talents.

Corey Yuen is the best martial arts choreographer in Hollywood. He has been the martial arts choreographer for many classic action films.

"Brother Hung, you've gotten fatter again!" Man Shen and Sammo Hung teased each other.

Sammo Hung laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Maggie, I'm magnanimous. Being a little chubby is good, my wife likes me to be a little chubby."

"It's better to be careful; being too fat puts a lot of strain on your body."

Sammo Hung nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, I've already had my blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol checked, and I'm taking medication every day."

Chingmy Yau, Rosamund Kwan, and Nina Li, among others, merely exchanged greetings and did not engage in any lively conversation with Sammo Hung. They were not familiar with him, and it seemed that Sammo Hung held a rather prejudiced view of them.

Shen Fang was somewhat dismissive. "What's the meaning of acting like a big brother in front of me?" He could understand Cheng Long acting like a big brother, but what right did this fatso have? And he was putting on quite a show.

The moment he arrived, the relaxed atmosphere that everyone else had been chatting and laughing about vanished. What's the big deal? Trying to act tough? Even with my immense wealth, I don't act tough. Who do you think you are?

Shen Fang disliked him a bit, but didn't intend to do anything. He walked to the grape trellis by himself, holding a champagne glass in his hand, wearing sunglasses and looking at the scenery. The mountain scenery of Repulse Bay was quite nice.
