"Yes, now almost all the good shops are being fought over by Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. What you can see are the ones that have been picked out."
Chan Kong-sang listed several areas that are not well developed. Although some shops and existing cinemas have been sold, people living nearby do not go to the movies.
"Now that you mention it, it's true." Wu Changyun smiled, but he had no choice but to continue to agree with Chen Gangsheng. He didn't believe that Chen Gangsheng was just here to talk nonsense with him and not help him find a solution.
"Of course, as a brother, I have to help you. I'll go find my senior brother and find a solution for you."
"Who? Sammo Hung?"
Wu Changyun was a little surprised. Although he heard that Sammo Hung did a good job, he couldn't be that amazing.
Chen Gangsheng didn't waste any time and just called Sammo Hung to invite him over. While the food and wine were still warm, Chen Gangsheng bought some more barbecue and put it on the table.
Joining Sammo Hung were Yuen Biao, Lam Ching-ying and Tsang Chi-wai.
Wu Changyun quickly found a seat for them. Zeng Zhiwei was considered the son of an old friend.
"You should know him. His name is Zeng Zhiwei and he is about the same age as you." Sammo Hung stopped talking halfway and didn't know how to continue.
According to seniority, Zhuyouzai and Wu Changyun are friends, so shouldn't Zhuyouzai's son call Wu Changyun uncle? But in fact, the age difference between the two is indeed not much.
"Brother Zeng, thank you for your hard work."
Wu Changyun said these words slowly, because Zeng Zhiwei had a really hard time. In 1976, Zhu Youzai was wanted and fled, and then Zeng Zhiwei followed him to join Chang Cheh's Changbow Film Company.
He returned to Hong Kong in 1976 and is now a disciple of the Hung Family Clan, and is well taken care of by Sammo Hung.
"That's not the case anymore. My father heard about you and told me about it one day, as did Inspector Lei. They all said you could do it, and it seems they were right."
Zeng Zhiwei spoke as if he was joking, but for his family, this was a serious matter.
Because all the properties left by Zhuyouzai in Hong Kong were auctioned off, it can be said that Zeng Zhiwei started from scratch when he returned this time.
"My father also said that what he regretted most back then was that he didn't get involved in your movie, otherwise he would be a producer now." Zeng Zhiwei laughed after saying this.
"Fortunately, fortunately." Wu Changyun is still in shock. Fortunately, Zhuyouzai did not get involved.
"Look." Zeng Zhiwei pointed at Wu Changyun and smiled.
"People are gone and things get cold..." Zeng Zhiwei said somewhat dejectedly.
"It doesn't matter. After chatting like this, we are all friends. Come to me if you need anything in the future." Wu Changyun said. He felt that he still owed Zhuyouzai something. He knew that the other party was on the wrong path but he was powerless to do anything.
"Okay, okay, I'm here today because of your business." Sammo Hung had heard from Chan Kong-sang on the phone before, that it was about opening a cinema chain.
“Do you have sufficient funds now?”
"Um."
Wu Changyun nodded.
"That's good, leave it to me. I was worried that you didn't have money." Sammo Hung nodded.
"Just kidding, he has no money and just pretends to be poor." Chen Gangsheng joked with Wu Changyun.
"But you, you looked miserable all the time under Lo Wei, but you did a good job under Wu Siyuan." Sammo Hung had been paying close attention to his junior brother.
Chen Gangsheng was born extraordinary. He has been stubborn and unyielding since childhood. He likes to make trouble everywhere. Even now that he has officially entered the entertainment industry, he still cannot find peace.
When Chan Kong-sang mentioned Lo Wei, he waved his hand. Although Lo Wei's reputation was not very good, it was always bad to talk about him behind his back.
"Why, wow, you didn't even invite me to the barbecue, you're really good, boss."
At this time, Zhou Runfa saw a group of people on the rooftop downstairs and followed them up.
"Oh, who was it? Isn't this Brother Xiao Ma?" Wu Changyun laughed and applauded.
"Come on, come on, I've always wanted to see what the box office champion looks like." Sammo Hung moved a stool over for Chow Yun-fat.
"Show some courage and learn from others." Sammo Hung didn't forget to mention Chen Gangsheng even when he was using the stool.
Before the excitement had died down, Zhao Yazhi and Wu Mengda also came along, and now the place was truly packed with guests.
Everyone had a lively meal together, and Sammo Hung also promised to find out about the Galaxy Film Company for him.
You wouldn't know unless you asked around. This was the real trouble. The so-called Galaxy Film Company was simply a shell company and had nothing to do with the film industry.
Moreover, one of the company’s beneficiaries turned out to be a direct relative of a senior executive of Golden Harvest.
Even Sammo Hung didn't know. If it weren't for Sam Hui indirectly asking someone to pass on the message, I'm afraid no one would know now.
A few days later, Sammo Hung found Wu Changyun again. The topic of their conversation was about this incident. He couldn't handle it either, and if he really wanted to find a solution, he could go to Golden Harvest.
Wu Changyun was also very decisive and asked Xu Guanwen to help him get the opportunity to communicate with He Guanchang face to face.
That day, at He Guanchang's house, besides Xu Guanwen, Wu Yusen was also present.
Wu Changyun and He Guanchang's conversation went straight to the point.
"I want that piece of land." Wu Changyun said nothing. He knew that no matter what the other party's position was, they would have reasons to speak.
"do what?"
"Open a cinema chain." Wu Changyun said frankly.
He Guanchang glanced at Xu Guanwen and knew that the news must have been leaked by Xu Guanwen. However, this was not something that needed to be kept secret, it would just cause trouble.
Golden Harvest invited Sam Hui and let Lo Wei go. Now is the time to give Sam Hui full play to his talents, but it is also time to give him some warnings.
"I don't care what you do. There will definitely be no problem for me to use it to open a cinema chain. We can't all go to each other's place to make trouble." He Guanchang showed a strong attitude. He had no reason to be in the wrong.
"There must be rules for everything. You have monopolized the theaters, so we must release the film in your theaters. Is this necessary?" Wu Changyun raised his eyes and asked. He spoke with a firm attitude. If the other party did not agree, he would fight to the end.
"Of course not, it depends on your ability." He Guanchang picked up the eye bag beside him and started smoking, without paying much attention to Wu Changyun's presence.
"Since you are so stubborn, I have nothing to say."
Wu Changyun knew clearly that Golden Harvest was now the number one studio in Hong Kong, and even Shaw Brothers was only ranked second.
This happened over the past one or two years. The fact that Golden Harvest surpassed Shaw Brothers was largely due to the preferential treatment it provided to its actors.
"My movies will not be shown in your theaters in the future."
"What a joke! You're not with me, but at Shaw Brothers' cinema? Or even Great Wall's? Shaw Brothers is also involved in this matter." He Guanchang said, knocking on the table with his pipe.
"I advise you to sit down and discuss the stratification of the films released in our theaters. This is still something to discuss. You are now the head of the company and have made good achievements." He Guanchang changed his tone. He was still very good at judging people.
"Even if I have to join forces to fight one family after another, I won't let anyone bully me like this." Wu Changyun said, shaking his head.
"Good boy, you are full of youthful vigor." He Guanchang said with a smile.
