"Give up? Why give up?" Zeng Zhiwei opened his mouth wide and laughed: "I earn the most as a martial arts craftsman is not money, but friendship." Zeng Zhiwei also slowly put down his guard against Li Xiaole and opened his mouth and said:

"Actually, I am a different person than others. I don't have that kind of strong feelings with my lover before. I only have a strong relationship with my friends. I eat outside 363 days a year, and I will stay at home during the Chinese New Year or when I am sick. The reason why I enjoy my work in the entertainment industry is because I like this kind of group life. I play football for more than a dozen people, and I also have dozens of people together in filming. I like a group of people to eat and chat together the most."

As he said that, Zeng Zhiwei smiled and touched his head, which claimed to be "strange" and said with a wry smile: "I probably used to being a person who talks more among the large group of people and makes others laugh. I am making comedy now and become a host, all of which are my bragging methods in the past."

Among the four people, Cheng Long was obviously the most vigilant about Li Xiaole. He kept bowing his head and drinking and silently. Zhang Guorong didn't like to talk too much, but just smiled silently. It was just Li Xiaole and Zeng Zhiwei bragging and spanking. However, Zhang Guorong knew that Cheng Long had been secretly observing Li Xiaole. This is how Hong Kong people do things. Before working with someone, it was not that he was very capable, but whether he was reliable or not. Drinking was just a cover. It was mainly to understand this person. He wanted to see Li Xiaole.

"Do you know, the Hong Kong entertainment industry is a big family, and everyone is very good at working hard." Tsang Chi-wei drank too much, and began to complain sadly: "For more than 30 years, I have done all my work in this circle. I have done all the actors and directors. I have done nothing regrets, but I can't rest~~Do you know why?

Because there is a sense of mission and responsibility that forces us elderly people to stop. I have been in this circle for so many years, and fame and fortune have been obtained from this circle. We have the obligation to keep Hong Kong films from falling behind~~”

Zeng Zhiwei hugged Li Xiaole's shoulder and vomited wine, saying, "Look at Andy Lau, he is the king of heaven, why do he have to go to various awards ceremony every year? Is he short of awards? And he also risked losing to those yellow-haired girls. Why? It's just to let everyone see this awards ceremony."

Tsang Chi-wei said, pointing at Cheng Long excitedly: "Look at Cheng Long, he is all an international star, why do you want to come back? Why do you want to film "Baby Plan"? Why do you want to do the "Successor of the Dragon" program? When he came back, he was actually retreating. He just felt that he was a Hong Kong performer and should support the Hong Kong circle."

Seeing Cheng Long shrugging his shoulders helplessly and wondering what to say, Li Xiaole was also a little moved. The Hong Kong circle is indeed like a big family, and they are all united by these "big brothers". Unlike the mainland, those so-called international celebrities, as soon as they go to Europe and the United States, they want to immediately distance themselves from their domestic counterparts, for fear that they will lose their share.

Li Xiaole looked at Zhang Guorong frequently winked at him, and knew whether this could be done. The key was to see if Cheng Long could nod. Now it was time to express his feelings. He also raised his cup and said to Zeng Zhiwei:

"Brother Zeng, I'm not going to be a fool anymore. This time I came to Hong Kong, hoping to gather everyone together, create a good show, and spread our Hong Kong films to Europe and the United States."

Zeng Zhiwei, who was already drunk, suddenly became cold when he heard this, and instantly showed Han Chen's expression in "Infernal Affairs", looked at Li Xiaole and snorted coldly:

"Just you? How can you, a mainlander, make good Hong Kong films or martial arts films? How do you shoot? Do you know how to arrange the movements? Why do you think you can let so many of us listen to you? Weizai, Huang Rihua and others call me elder brother, which does not mean that I can give them to you casually. Why do you think you are stronger than Liu Wei and Mai Zhaohui? Why do you want me to bring so many kings over to film for you?"

Zhang Guorong was also stunned. He didn't expect that Zeng Zhiwei would turn against him and even say everything harsh words in an instant. However, Cheng Long was drinking and staring at Li Xiaole's face tightly, observing his reaction.

"Of course I can take a good photo." Li Xiaole faced Zeng Zhiwei's sudden provocative speech, but there was no turbulence on his face. His clear eyes were calm and firm, and he explained in a calm and firm tone:

"Hong Kong directors have limitations as Hong Kong directors. You are addicted to gangster films of the old era and cannot extricate yourself. They always want to relive the glory of the past. Their feelings are admirable, but they are inappropriate. You should know that the culture of gangsters is dark and one-sided. Hong Kong can win attention with these themes, but it will always become a world-class mainstream.

Gangster films may be the pride of a generation of Hong Kong directors, but they are not something that a nation is truly worthy of pride. The best film and television culture must always be loved, liked by everyone in the world, and martial arts films meet all the conditions. Why don’t you shoot? Because the market now believes that this theme is behind the scenes and everyone dares to shoot. How many years have there been no real good martial arts film in Hong Kong?"

"And I am willing to shoot." Speaking of this, Li Xiaole confidently patted his chest with his thumb and said: "I have all the world-class influence that Hong Kong directors do not have, the technology that you don't have, the funds, and at all costs, only I can make works that will allow Hong Kong films to go out of the small circle of Asia. This is not begging you, but you need someone like me."

Zeng Zhiwei turned out to be trying Li Xiaole's character, but he didn't expect that he would say such words and was surprised. He turned to look at Leslie Cheung, and Leslie Cheung also showed a dazed expression. Obviously, he didn't know that Li Xiaole, who was usually humble, had this side.

Li Xiaole's words were not for Zeng Zhiwei, but for Cheng Long, who had never paid attention to him, obviously, the "big brother" felt that he was just a young boy and did not like him.

"That's right. Of course, it's okay for you to make Hong Kong movies, but why do you let so many old seniors help you?" Cheng Long, who had been silent, finally spoke out, his eyes met Li Xiaole's gaze, and he questioned him: "Do you think you and your actress have the qualifications? Since you are going to make a good show, why can't you change to someone else to star in? Isn't Tse more suitable than you?"

This is what Zeng Zhiwei and Cheng Long are concerned about. They are worried that Li Xiaole was cheating these Hong Kong elites in order to satisfy their personal wishes and support the scenes. You should know that many mainland film manufacturers have done this before. Mainland investors are rich and generous. They often invite Hong Kong stars and directors at high prices, conducting various blindly, and holding their actresses. As a result, they later made an unspeakable bad movie. The audience came for the reputation of Hong Kong directors and actors. But after the release, the audience shouted that they were fooled when they saw the big bad movies, and they would say that Hong Kong specializes in making bad movies, so Hong Kong stars are afraid of cooperating with mainlanders.

Leslie Cheung and Zeng Zhiwei both looked at Li Xiaole at this moment, which was also their doubts.

"I have invited so many famous Hong Kong seniors for two reasons." Li Xiaole looked at the three of them calmly, pouring wine into their cups, and said:

"First of all, there is a huge gap between our Hong Kong's talents in film and television and Hollywood overall, but they are not inferior to them at the elite level. Only by concentrating the best actors as supporting roles can the quality of the whole drama be improved." Li Xiaole looked at Cheng Long and Zeng Zhiwei's eyes and explained slowly:

"I think you all know that martial arts dramas are a very unfamiliar subject compared to foreign audiences. No matter how good the props or sets are, it is probably difficult for the audience to bring them into this story. So I need the actors themselves to build this world. Whether it is the Five Great Sages or any small character in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, I need every supporting character to hold the audience's eyes tightly as soon as they appear... let the audience understand this fictional but romantic world through them."

Li Xiaole said this and emphasized: "I not only want to use the fame of these Hong Kong stars to increase the ratings, but more importantly, because they are the best actors in Hong Kong, I need them to appear in this episode. This is like the British filming of "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings". The supporting roles in it are all the greatest Shakespeare actors in the UK in this era. Only they can pick up this fictional story."

Li Xiaole's words made Cheng Long, Zeng Zhiwei and Zhang Guorong feel very comfortable, especially when he compared "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings". You should know that the protagonists of these two movies are young, especially "Harry Potter" is played by a group of little kids. Although the audience thinks that the movie is for Harry and Hermione, the insiders know that this drama is basically dominated by the supporting roles of those old actors. Without them, "Harry Potter" is just an ordinary children's drama that cannot be more ordinary.

When Michael Gamben, who plays the president of the School of Magic, speaks those classical and romantic English rhymes, many viewers will naturally be brought into that fantasy magic world.

The similar "Golden Compass" and "Legend of Narnia" that Americans imitated and filmed have no epic feeling of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", which is the one that lacks the support of these British Shakespeare actors.

By the same token, as long as the audience who loves to watch martial arts dramas will have a feeling that although the mainland has remade many large-scale martial arts dramas this year, such as "The Swordsman", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is either a bandit and robber drama that makes martial arts a bandit or a martial arts an idol drama, which is completely without the chic, pride and romantic elegance in the bones~~

This is the cultural heritage. The older generation in Hong Kong has maintained the spirit of "heroine". Whether it is characters, every move, music, or dialogue, the feeling of many lyrics sung in Cantonese is full of nostalgia~~
