Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 468: Kamamasho Office Established

In order to tie Li Xiaolong down, Wang Jianjun increased Li Xiaolong's salary to 3 US dollars before the filming of the second movie "Fist of Fury" began.

And he was promised to give him a share of the box office.

With the success of two consecutive films, Li Xiaolong also established his title as Hong Kong's number one martial arts star.

Shaw Brothers, which originally wanted to make fun of Li Xiaolong, fell silent.

As for causing trouble for Li Xiaolong and the others, he would not dare to do that.

Behind Xingchen Pictures stands the Shen Group.

Compared with Shaw Brothers and Shen Group, it was like an egg hitting a stone.

No matter how arrogant Run Run Shaw was, he would not dare to challenge Wang Jianjun.

Starting with signing Li Xiaolong.

Wang Jianjun's film company is also developing faster and faster.

Several new movies have been released in a few years.

And each of these movies can be said to be a classic.

First of all, there are four and a half exclusive movies of Li Xiaolong, namely, The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, Enter the Dragon, and Way of the Dragon.

And his posthumous work, Death Game.

Thanks to Wang Jianjun's intervention, Li Xiaolong avoided the fate of dying young this time.

This time he successfully finished filming the Death Game.

Especially the last work, Death Game, was a box office hit in North America.

He has won so many awards in the United States.

Each of his five films broke the box office record in Hong Kong.

The only thing that can break his record is his own movie.

After filming these five movies, Li Xiaolong slowed down his film-making pace and began to focus on training new talents.

He did not forget his ideals.

Change Hollywood's prejudice against Asian actors and show the charm of Asian culture to the world.

But to realize this ideal, he alone is not enough.

So Li Xiaolong wanted to train some talents to develop in Hollywood.

The first people he trained were the Seven Little Fortunes who played extras and stand-ins in the crew.

The Seven Little Fortunes have also grown a lot over the years.

Among them, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung have made the greatest progress.

Wang Jianjun was thinking about Jackie Chan's famous works in the future.

They simply gave him the scripts of Drunken Master and Snake in the Eagle's Shadow in advance and asked him to star in a kung fu comedy.

It turns out that Jackie Chan is really good at acting in Kung Fu comedies.

Because of these two movies, Jackie Chan became famous overnight.

The Seven Little Fortunes also became popular.

Although the others are not as famous as Jackie Chan, they became famous following Li Xiaolong.

Wang Jianjun simply asked them to start starring in some martial arts films.

This again brings us to the film genius Tsui Hark.

This old weirdo Xu has his own unique insights into filming.

He was also very bold in the use of lenses, especially after communicating with Wang Jianjun, he also learned a lot of shooting techniques that only appeared in later generations.

As a result, the movies made are always refreshing.

It directly crushes those assembly-line martial arts films produced by Shaw Brothers.

Today, Star Films has surpassed Shaw Brothers to become the number one film company in Hong Kong.

With the popularity of several kung fu movies.

Another offbeat horror comedy has also begun hitting cinemas.

This is exactly the Uncle Nine series starring Lam Ching-ying.

Before this, there were also horror-themed movies in Hong Kong.

But most of them are unsystematic or simply copy some incongruous Western horror elements.

This is the first time that a horror drama like "Uncle Nine" with Chinese horror elements has appeared in Hong Kong.

The Ninth Division played by Lin Zhengying immediately won the hearts of the people.

Everyone thinks that a Maoshan Taoist priest should be like Lam Ching-ying.

Even the box office of Lin Zhengying's first movie exceeded that of Jackie Chan's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.

The success of Star Pictures also gave other Hong Kong film companies an opportunity to make money.

What followed was a bunch of shoddy copycat movies.

Most of them imitate the film styles of Li Xiaolong, Jackie Chan and Lin Zhengying.

Wang Jianjun doesn't care about these copied and counterfeit products.

You have to give others some room to survive.

The popularity of Star Pictures has also attracted many actors.

Many famous actors came to recommend themselves.

Those actors who rejected Wang Jianjun at the beginning are now regretting it.

But now they have no chance to go back even if they want to.

As for those stars who wanted to sign a contract with him, Wang Jianjun simply handed them over to Shen Chuxia for assessment.

He was now busy preparing to receive the money he had saved over the years.

In 74, the Kamakura Office was established in Hong Kong to specifically deal with corruption issues.

When this news was first released, many Hong Kong officials did not take it seriously.

Corruption in Hong Kong has a long history.

From Wang Jianjun's perspective, the system was rotten to the core.

The so-called break and then stand.

This time, the Kamamasho Office is indeed different.

Just a few days after its establishment, it caught a few mice.

This caused a stir in Hong Kong's political arena.

All of those mice are powerful.

But the Kamamachi Office will arrest you if they say so, without giving you any chance at all.

With these people being arrested.

Many people panicked.

The most panicked among them were the four inspectors headed by Lui Lok.

Lui Lok originally thought that he could escape the disaster by relying on his connections with his superiors.

But after his men were taken away, he did not return for several days.

And his backer has been avoiding him these days and doesn't want to see him.

Lu Le was scared.

The attitude from above is very clear.

I'm afraid the good days of these people are about to end.

Knowing that he was in danger, Lu Le didn't dare to stay any longer.

He directly called his right-hand man Zeng Qirong and asked him to arrange a private plane. He planned to fly to Canada with his whole family.

Then fly to Wan Island via Canada.

Because there is no extradition treaty.

It is definitely safest to go there at this stage.

The most important thing now is to take away as much money as possible that he has made over the years.

There were several other inspectors who had the same idea as Lui Lok.

These detectives have a very keen sense of smell.

From the clues, one can guess that someone from above wants to take action against them.

So one by one they started to show off their magical powers.

Those who resigned openly resigned, and those who took leave took leave.

In private, he was seizing the opportunity to collect all the money and prepare to run away.

What they didn’t know was that all their every move was under Wang Jianjun’s surveillance.

Wang Jianjun originally asked Lei Bao to find someone to monitor the four chief inspectors.

As soon as they make any move, come back and tell him.

So Wang Jianjun knew all this when Lu Le and the others started packing up.

Thinking that every time his new movie was released, Lui Lok would ask Zeng Qirong to come to him to ask for kickbacks.

Wang Jianjun sneered in his heart. After enjoying good food for so many years, it was time to make the other party spit out the money back to him with interest.
