Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

At Xingchen Entertainment, after receiving a call from Wang Jianjun, Jet Li went directly to Shen Chuxia’s office.

Wang Jianjun casually handed him a suitcase.

"Luo Wei compensated you, and the contract you signed with him has been invalidated."

Since this person is dead, the contract is naturally invalid.

When Jet Li heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Wang Jianjun.

He didn't know how Wang Jianjun did it, considering that Luo Wei had a gang background.

This guy actually compromised so easily?

Jet Li has been staying at Wang Jianjun's Peninsula Hotel these days and has no time to pay attention to any news outside.

So he didn't know that the Sun Yee On had been destroyed and Lo Wei had died.

"Boss Wang, thank you so much this time."

"You're welcome. What are your plans next?"

"Not sure yet, maybe we'll go back inland first."

After this blow, Jet Li no longer has any attachment to Hong Kong.

It would be better to return to China and seek development.

"If you still don't know what to do, why not come and make a movie with me. Tsui Hark has always wanted to make a movie with you. I happen to have a few scripts that are suitable for you."

Wang Jianjun said this and handed over a script.

Jet Li glanced at the script.

Once Upon a Time?

After flipping through a few pages, Jet Li's eyes lit up.

This script is better than any of his previous ones.

It's like it was tailor-made for him.

"Boss Wang, this movie?"

"If you come to my company, you will be the lead actor in this Huang Feihong series, and you will get one million per movie plus a share of the box office."

"Okay, I'll take this movie then."

Jet Li was very relieved about Wang Jianjun's promise.

After all, it was more than 5 million that was given.

Finally, Jet Li left with the money and the script, his face full of excitement.

He needs to go back and polish this script.

With Jet Li joining, the filming of the Wong Fei-hung series of films can officially begin.

The first movie I made was Top Gun.

It is five or six years earlier than the original history.

But even so, with the current technology and investment, the effect of this Huang Feihong is no worse than that of the previous life.

Especially in the drama, Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan look very young at this time.

The men are handsome and the women are pretty.

It can be said that they are a very pleasing to the eye CP.

Wang Jianjun also specially invited Guan Dexing, who originally played Huang Feihong, to make a guest appearance in the drama.

It’s also a sentiment.

As expected, the Wong Fei-hung movie became popular again after its release.

The investment cost was five million, and the box office directly exceeded fifty million.

With this movie, Jet Li finally established his foothold in Hong Kong.

And he got a new nickname, the Kung Fu Emperor.

In the Hong Kong film industry, although Jet Li is not the best fighter, he is definitely the most beautiful fighter.

With the strong promotion of Star Entertainment, Jet Li also became a popular kung fu star in Hong Kong.

His popularity is not even inferior to that of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

There are countless film companies that want to invite him to make movies.

The pay for each movie is no less than one million.

This year, Jet Li made a significant mark on the Hong Kong film industry.

During the Spring Festival of the same year, Wang Jianjun, who was far away in Hong Kong, also received an invitation to perform at the Spring Festival Gala in the mainland.

This news made Wang Jianjun a little flattered.

Of course, this spot was actually given to Shen Chuxia.

During this year's Spring Festival Gala, the official invited the crew of Journey to the West to perform on the stage.

Shen Chuxia's Xingchen Entertainment became very popular in the inland area because of the filming of Shaolin Temple.

So we invited him as well.

Of course, besides watching the Spring Festival Gala.

The official side also has other cooperation to discuss with him.

It turned out that the crew of Journey to the West was short of money.

This classic TV series, which was played countless times during Wang Jianjun’s childhood, has not yet been completed.

The main reason is that the crew’s funds have been almost used up.

In order to ensure the television effect, this TV series remake of the classic novel was filmed from 82 to 85 and only had eleven episodes.

Although the effect is good, the funds are flowing away like water.

Even if Director Yang Jie saves as much as she can, she can't cook without the ingredients.

Finally, I had no choice but to find the leaders at CCTV to apply for more funds.

The leaders of CCTV were also in a difficult situation.

They didn't expect that filming Journey to the West would cost so much money.

But there is a budget for this.

CCTV can’t just increase the fees at will.

Finally, we simply used the Spring Festival Gala stage to promote the product, and then went to major brother organizations to solicit sponsorship.

At that time, many state-owned units generously donated money out of sympathy after learning that the crew of Journey to the West was short of money, which allowed the filming of the TV series to go on smoothly.

Of course, only a few of them were filmed.

The remaining ones were not re-shot until more than ten years later.

It’s just that the subsequent filming inevitably has some sense of adding an end to a problem.

As for approaching Wang Jianjun for investment, it was because of the financial strength demonstrated by Xingchen Entertainment during the filming of Shaolin Temple.

After understanding the whole story, Wang Jianjun did not shirk responsibility.

He simply invested 50 million yuan and let Director Yang Jie spend it as she pleases.

He has only one requirement, and that is to strive for excellence.

This TV show must be popular for decades.

In addition to paying money, Wang Jianjun also transported the special effects machines of his film company to Beijing.

There was only one special effects machine in the country during this era.

It's just that the special effects are somewhat touching.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a 50-cent special effect.

The special effects machine that Wang Jianjun is currently using was developed and produced by his own company.

The effect is amazing.

But it is much better than the one in China.

As for the one in China, we have to compete with other crews for its use.

After learning about the latest special effects machine, Director Yang Jie also planned to re-shoot some of the previously filmed clips.

Some of the special effects shot before were too fake. Now that we have good equipment, we naturally want to strive for perfection.

As a major financial sponsor, Wang Jianjun was naturally warmly welcomed by the crew of Journey to the West.

Wang Jianjun specially found an opportunity to take a photo with Tang Seng and his disciples as a souvenir.

Among them, the largest number of photos are taken with the Queen of the Kingdom of Women.

When you see those familiar movie and TV stars from your childhood up close.

Wang Jianjun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The Monkey King of today is not yet the old artist who is proficient in both literature and art in later generations.

His eyes are very lively, just like a real Monkey King.

And the two Elder Tangs were as plump and smooth as jade.

No wonder so many goblins want to eat him.

Of course, later on, Elder Tang was unable to control himself and was taken down by a red sandalwood spirit.

However, it was the Queen of the Kingdom of Women that made Wang Jianjun couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Wang Jianjun had to admire director Yang Jie's vision.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Women is a little plump, and with the Tang Dynasty makeup, her plump beauty of "round and smooth" is immediately revealed.

Just looking at Zhu Lin's appearance, he was somewhat moved.

Unfortunately, he met a blind monk named Tang Monk.

When Wang Jianjun took a photo with Zhu Lin, he also secretly glanced at her and Xu Shaohua.

The two of them occasionally exchanged glances.

Obviously, this royal brother did not have no feelings for her as he said.
