Hong Kong New Territories, Phantom World Entertainment Company—

The decoration is not luxurious but very comfortable in the company's conference room, with seven or eight people sitting upright, almost all of them are the management of the film company, including Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi.

Song Zhichao looked through the company's recent business statements, to be precise, the box office statements, and was very satisfied with the profit margins of the several films invested by the company.

As the second boss of Phantom World Company, Fu Jiajun is also sitting in the front at this moment, but the second young master Fu is constantly yawning, looking like he didn't have a good rest last night.

In fact, this is true. Since learning that his film company has sold well at the box office, Fu Ershao has coquettishly invited his relatives and friends to celebrate, banquets, nightclubs, and dance halls.

For Fu Jiajun, when celebrating, as long as the other party says, "You are so good at Mr. Fu, I didn't expect you to be so good at filming", he will immediately become as excited as if he was injected with chicken blood.

As a famous playboy in Hong Kong, Fu Jiajun used to never dream of being praised by others, such respect one day. And these praises and respects are from the heart and heart of those people. Unlike before, they spend money to find praises themselves - those people also provide them with free food and drink, so they keep flattering themselves.

Because he was having too much fun, he yawned all over the place at the meeting, which made him feel embarrassed because those in the management looked at him from time to time. Fu Jiajun was crying, but he couldn't explain that he was too sleepy, so he could only endure it and wait for Song Zhichao to speak at the meeting.

Finally, Song Zhichao put down the information in his hand, then sat upright in a pagoda shape with both hands, and said, "I am very happy. Our performance this quarter is very good. No, to be precise, it's great! Come on, everyone will give themselves an applause!"

Papa, everyone applauded together.

Song Zhichao waited until the applause stopped, and then said: "After all the movies we invested in have been released and the box office has been sold. Next, we are about to enter 1992. So what is our investment and shooting plan? Who wants to talk about it?"

Song Zhichao turned his attention to the management and first glanced at Fu Jiajun. Fu Jiajun was yawning. Seeing him looking, he hurriedly wiped his face and said, "I have no objection. You can do whatever you say."

Song Zhichao looked at others again, and no one spoke.

At this time, Liu Dehua said.

Liu Dehua said that his Skywall was about to start filming a big production called "Legend of the God of War", with him being the male lead, the second male lead was Big B Brother Zhong Zhentao, and the heroine selected Anita Mui and Maggie Cheung.

Then it is said that the movie tells the story of a fisherman A Fei and Yan Shisan, the remains of the previous dynasty, helping Yan Shisan and the king of Lanling to regain the throne from the fourteenth prince, but fell in love with Yan Shisan's fiancee, and after getting rid of the fourteenth prince, he retired sadly for the sake of his friend's loyalty.

Obviously, because the success of the drama "1991 The Return of the Condor Heroes" made Liu Dehua very confident in this new drama he was preparing to film, so when telling the script story of this drama, Liu Dehua also used a strong personal relationship.

Finally, Liu Dehua said to Song Zhichao with a smile: "I am very optimistic about this drama. If Mr. Song, you think it is OK, we can cooperate again, and you Phantom can also invest in it. What do you think?"

Looking at Liu Dehua's expectant look, Song Zhichao did not immediately agree to him. After all, investing in filming is not making friends, and favors and investment are different things.

The most important thing is that Song Zhichao knew very well about Liu Dehua's play in his previous life.

To be precise, "Legend of the God of War" is a movie in which Liu Dehua failed to invest in the sky, but it is also a crazy masterpiece in the heyday of Hong Kong films in the early 1990s.

There are four directors in this film. Sammo Hung is in charge of the overall situation and completes the martial arts dramas with Cheng Xiaodong and Yuankui according to the scenes. Luo Qirui and Zhang Wanting are responsible for the literary dramas.

At that time, Cheng Xiaodong's elegant "dance" style was unique and very popular. He had different opinions with Sammo Hung, who preferred ground combat and emphasized hard bridges and hard horses. It was inevitable that two people with equally popular personality would go off fire. According to Luo Qirui, don't let them stay together.

Except for the first protagonist Liu Dehua, this film brings together three stars: Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung and Chung-tao. Unfortunately, due to schedule issues, there are a lot of opponents, and only one scene is really involved in the shooting at the same time. In the rest of the time, the martial arts scenes are almost all made by martial artists, and most of the literary scenes are also completed with their opponents.

The most exaggerated thing is Maggie Cheung, who gave the crew two days to film her close-up shots of all scenes, and the rest of the civil and military scenes were handed over to the stand-in. The statement that she earned 2 million a day may come from this. No wonder she is the second heroine in the scene, at least as a supporting role, but she made a guest appearance and finally did not fool the audience.

Later, Sammo Hung mentioned in other interviews that he was disappointed with the trend of stardom in overall production of Hong Kong films, and his shoddy production of quick success and instant profits, and he was disappointed. He took the example of the four stars in this film never gathered together, and his elder brother was tortured to the point.

In his previous life, Song Zhichao first watched "Legend of God of War" when he was still in school. He was attracted by Liu Dehua's opening show in the bamboo forest. There were also many strange dolphins. The action scenes were wonderful and the literary scenes were romantic. After watching them again a few years later, Song Zhichao really understood the movie, and then realized that Andy Lau's heroic posture and the dolphins photographed in the swimming pool could not withstand the test of time. The traces of the action scenes were too obvious, and the rhythm of the literary scenes was too slow to compare with the whole film. What's bad is that after learning about those gossips in DVD behind-the-scenes, he was mixed and could not enjoy the movie purely.

But no matter what, this future drama will be known as the "Three Unpopular Martial Arts Movies" and "Kung Fu Boy's Love" and has a place in the history of Hong Kong martial arts films.

However, in retrospect, it was this drama that made Liu Dehua lose a lot. A shrewd person like Song Zhichao would never invest in filming this drama. Nostalgia and sentiment were worthless in his eyes. He knew that it was a loss-making product and had to do it, that was a fool.

Thinking of this, Song Zhichao was already calculating in his heart, and smiled affectionately, saying to Liu Dehua: "Andy Lau, since you are optimistic about this drama, then this drama must be very good. However, the funds of the Phantom Company were a little tighter recently. When you see that your cast is a big production - we Phantom has no funds to invest in such a big production yet."

Song Zhichao said it very tactfully. He did not advise Liu Dehua not to invest in this movie. The reason is that Liu Dehua is now full of confidence, and it is useless to persuade him. In addition, Song Zhichao has selfishness, which is to make Liu Dehua fall hard. Only in this way can he better control the other party. For Song Zhichao, Liu Dehua is not only a friend, but also a star, a star who can help Phantom Entertainment make money. So what Song Zhichao has to do is to help Liu Dehua fail to invest in this movie and lose money, so as to deepen his emotional investment.

Liu Dehua didn't know this. He really thought that Song Zhichao had no money at hand and missed such a good investment opportunity, so he shook his head and said, "What a pity, it's such a pity!"

Judging from his appearance, I feel regretful that I want to make a fortune with you, but you missed a good opportunity.

Song Zhichao was afraid that Liu Dehua would bother him again, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Zhou Xingchi, who was sitting with Liu Dehua, and said, "Xingzai, what are your shooting plans next year?"

Zhou Xingchi himself is completely different in the movie. He is dull and muna, and he doesn't seem to speak very well. At this moment, when Song Zhichao asked, he whispered and said, "I have thought about it... I want to film Mr. Jin Yong's "The Deer and the Cauldron"..."
