Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chow Yun-fat's interview reached Chen Qiming immediately.

Facing this guy who asked him for help one second and stabbed him in the back because he didn't help the next second, Chen Qiming was really angry.

He picked up the phone at that time and wanted to call Fox and use his influence to put pressure on them to give up cooperating with Chow Yun-fat.

However, Liu Ciwei stopped him.

“If a dog bites you, you can’t go back and bite him.

Most importantly, you are now the most influential Chinese person in Hollywood.

If you really put pressure on Fox, it will confirm that you are suppressing other Chinese news.

This will be very detrimental to you. "

After listening to Liu Ciwei's words, Chen Qiming thought for a long time and put down the phone.

What Liu Ciwei said makes sense.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Qiming at this time is the light of the Chinese people.

He is the first Chinese in Hollywood.

If it is confirmed that he suppresses Chow Yun-fat, the impact on his image will definitely be huge.

Not just the image.

Ever since he became famous in Hollywood, Liu Ciwei has made a plan for Chen Qiming.

The plan is to make him the leader of the Chinese in Hollywood and create a group belonging to the Chinese community with him as the core.

Chen Qiming has this strength and appeal.

They are all Chinese who are away from home.

Chen Qiming is popular and influential. Chinese groups created with him as the theme can better help celebrities from China to gain a better foothold here.

In turn, as long as such a group is established, the benefits to Chen Qiming will be huge.

It can give him huge influence in the country, both in terms of connections and influence, which will be of huge benefit.

However, although there is no intention to put pressure on Fox to suppress Chow Yun-fat.

But Chen Qiming would not just let him go.

He hates people who think too highly of themselves and think others owe them something.

On November 16, Chen Qiming flew back to Hong Kong from the United States.

As soon as he got off the plane, he was blocked by reporters.

When asked by reporters whether to suppress Chow Yun-fat, Chen Qiming responded for the first time.

“Whether there is any suppression or not, everyone should be able to see it.

I don't even bother to suppress a second-rate person. He is not at the same level as me. It will not do me any good to suppress him. "

wow...

Chen Qiming's remarks directly detonated the Hong Kong and Taiwan media circles.

Chow Yun-fat is a second-rate character.

We are not on the same level!

Every sentence can be called a critical blow. While Chow Yun-fat was furious, it also caused a lot of criticism of Chen Qiming's response from the outside world.

Many people in the media think Chen Qiming is too crazy.

After all, Chow Yun-fat is Hong Kong's top superstar, a person who has been on the box office charts for many years.

As a result, Chen Qiming attacked him by saying that he was a second-rate person.

This really caused dissatisfaction among some Chow Yun-fat fans and friends.

Among them, Hong Kong's famous supporting actor Liu Qizhi publicly accused Chen Qiming of disrespecting his predecessors in the media. He also said that Chen Qiming was crazy because of his popularity.

Chen Qiming did not respond to this.

He never admitted that he was a good guy.

Since his debut, everyone knows that he is the kind of person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes.

So what about Chow Yun-fat.

He is indeed a senior, but that’s not how seniors act.

Since he can call a deer a horse, why can't he attack him openly?

It was enough to give him face without using his resources to directly suppress him.

The feud between Chen Qiming and Chow Yun-fat caused quite a stir in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Many media and newspapers have participated in the discussion of this matter.

However, because the two people who had the quarrel were the two top people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, many young stars did not dare to join the two sides' camps even though they wanted to take advantage of the popularity.

Not only the little stars, but also people like Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung have all chosen to remain silent.

Like Andy Lau, he is good friends with Chen Qiming, but similarly, he also has a good relationship with Chow Yun-fat.

Therefore, when asked by reporters, he directly chose to remain silent and did not make any remarks.

In private, he and Leslie Cheung both called Chen Qiming to inquire about the specific details.

After knowing the whole story, he didn't say a word about it.

Didn't take Chow Yun-fat's matter to heart, on the 2th, Chen Qiming appeared at the celebration party of "The Storm ".

"Wind and Cloud 2" was released a month ago. Thanks to Chen Qiming's album, it was a hit in Europe and the United States, and the movie's box office was very good.

The film grossed a total of HK$41 million in Hong Kong.

Because the box office performance in Hong Kong is very good, the copyright of this film has been bought by Baodao, Japan and South Korea.

Plus the box office and VCD copyrights in Singapore and other places.

The film brought Qiming Pictures nearly HK$30 million in profits.

If the profits from theaters are included, Chen Qiming earned nearly 50 million in revenue from this movie.

The renewed success of "Wind and Cloud 2" has indirectly made Qiming Film and Television rise to the top, becoming the most popular film and television company in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The influence directly catches up with Jiahe and Yongsheng.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations on the box office success!"

"Mingzai, the sales of the new album are so hot! I heard it has broken the historical record in Europe and the United States."

"Mingzai, this is my new signing, please take good care of me in the future!"

Fengyun II chose the Shangri-La Hotel for its celebration party. Chen Qiming has shares in the hotel, so Chen Qiming's company usually chooses this hotel for various activities.

In the hotel lobby, Chen Qiming is undoubtedly the protagonist.

There were densely packed people around him, all of whom were well-known to the audience and well-known agents in the industry.

Chen Qiming took the trouble to greet them while holding a wine glass.

"Boss, Mr. Han from China Film and Television is here!" A staff member from Qiming Film and Television came over to report.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiming immediately smiled and apologized to the people around him.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I have a little problem here. You drink first and I'll greet you later!"

"Mr. Chen, please don't worry about us!"

"Please……"

The people around him began to disperse. Chen Qiming smiled, raised his glass to signal, and then left quickly. The people from China Film Group were invited by Chen Qiming.

In the past two years, Chen Qiming's cooperation with the mainland has become increasingly closer.

He will give a certain share of Qiming Films' many movies to major mainland studios.

Among them, China Film Group has the most cooperation.

"Anaconda" and "The Storm 2" both have investment from China Film.

The two cooperations made the relationship between the two parties very good.

It also allowed the cooperative relationship between the two parties to gradually develop further.

Chen Qiming hopes to use China Film and Television to operate Qiming Film and Television's films to be released in the mainland.

China Film Group needs to cooperate with Chen Qiming to make the film.

Especially after it was reported in Europe and the United States that Chen Qiming had reached a big project with Fox, China Film Academy paid more and more attention to Chen Qiming.

They hope to use Chen Qiming's connections and influence to allow China Film to participate in some Hollywood projects.

"Mr. Chen, you are really prosperous recently. I hear news about you every day in the Mainland!

I heard that you have reached a partnership with the giant American film and television company 20th Century Fox? Want to invest in one of their blockbusters? "

As soon as they met Han Sanping, the director of the China Film Office, who Chen Qiming had the most contact with, asked Chen Qiming with a smile.

"Yes, it's a romance film. Fox has already invested $100 million in this project, and now they let me join it because of a lack of funds.

I invested $60 million! "

"What a generous move!" Han Sanping sighed, and then said:

"We at China Film Group have a lot of funds. If Mr. Chen has a suitable project next time, please help introduce it."

"This is natural!" Chen Qiming nodded.

If possible, he still hopes to have a good relationship with China Film.

This can only be good for him.

……

The day after the celebration party, Chen Qiming attended the premiere of Yongsheng's "Adventure King" and shared the stage with Jet Li and Takeshi Kaneshiro to boost the box office of the film.

This is the first time that Chen Qiming and Jet Li stand in front of the camera together.

Therefore, reporters are very interested in the two of them.

"Mr. Chen Qiming, as we all know, most of your films in the past two years have been action-oriented, and Mr. Jet Li is a role model in this regard.

We were wondering, is it possible for the two of you to work together? "

As soon as it came up, reporters started asking Chen Qiming if he had the opportunity to cooperate with Jet Li.

It can be seen that reporters and even the audience are very much looking forward to seeing Chen Qiming and Jet Li, one of the two people with the strongest box office appeal in China, working together.

"Maybe! If there is a chance, I would like to work with Mr. Jet Li." Chen Qiming responded with a smile.

"Mr. Li, there are media reports that the original film of Adventure King was burned, and the current version is a reshoot. Will this affect the quality of the film?"

A reporter asked about a major event about the drama Adventure King.

Originally, the drama Adventure King could have been released in advance.

The main reason why it has been delayed until now is that the original film's rubber was burned, causing the crew to have to reshoot again, and then it was delayed until now.

"Don't worry, the quality of the reshoot is no less than the original!" Jet Li said confidently.

However, Jet Li seemed very confident, but in fact, Chen Qiming saw worry in his eyes.

Chen Qiming also understood why.

Chen Qiming is one of the investors of Adventure King.

He has seen both the original version and the reshot version of the movie.

Generally speaking, the original version is definitely better than the reshoot version.

After all, the filming time for the reshoot version was short, so some modern scenes were shot, and then used to fill in the unburned footage of the original film.

Although the plot has come full circle, the quality is far worse than the original version.

To be honest, even Chen Qiming has some regrets.

Because the special effects and quality of the original version are very good.

According to Chen Qiming's estimation, if the original film was released, the box office of this movie would be...

Unfortunately, the original film ended up being burned.

Chen Qiming attended as a guest, so in order not to steal the limelight from the protagonist.

He kept the interview brief and silent until the movie was released.

The entire film "The King of Adventures" was shot in mainland movie theaters, with wooden cows, flowing horses, trains, airplanes and other large-scale artificial props appearing in the film.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hong Kong's film special effects had just started at this time, and the film studio was reluctant to hire a Hollywood team. The large-scale action special effects scenes in the film that were shot with real shots still looked very shocking.

It's a pity that most of the original film was burned, and only a small part was left to be added together with the reshoots. Those big scenes were unfortunately missed by the audience.

In the original "Adventure King" that Chen Qiming has watched, the plot develops like this:

The Adventure King (played by Jet Li) is an archaeological expert with extraordinary skills and a love for adventure around the world. He is accompanied by a young assistant Bao Xiancai (named Acheng in the reshoot version, played by Takeshi Kaneshiro).

General Long, the Presidential Advisor of the Xi'an Security Command, commissioned the Adventure King to find the legendary scripture box and the Wordless Book.

It turns out that the wordless Book can penetrate the secrets of heaven and earth, has the ability to change the world, and is related to the future of mankind. The scripture box and the Book are integrated and are the key to finding the Book.

The clue provided by General Long is that the sutra box appeared in the late Qing Dynasty. A group of lamas from XZ wanted to take it to XZ, but were robbed by the bandit Yan Gang on the way.

During the melee, someone opened the sutra box, which actually caused a fire from the sky. Both gangs present were attacked by the fire. Only Duan Muming, the leader of the Yan Gang, disappeared with the sutra box.

Later, Duan Muming's wife received a letter from her husband. This letter may contain clues related to the sutra box, and it is now hidden in the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai.

So Adventure King and Cabbage sneaked into the Japanese consulate to steal the letter. In the process of stealing the letter, he met a Japanese woman Rufeng (named Kamiko in the reshoot version, played by Rosamund Kwan).

In fact, Rufeng is the Japanese spy Admiral Nora, who deliberately released the news to attract the Adventure King to steal the letter. The purpose is to lure the Adventure King to find the sutra box. She can get clues to the sutra box as long as she follows it secretly.

In order to deal with the Adventure King, Admiral Noliang found the extraordinary horse thief Ni Ba (named Hong Hong Xingxing in the reshoot version, played by Zou Zhaolong) to help.

Sure enough, based on the paper used in the letters, the Adventure King investigated Zhengyi Daily, which specializes in using this kind of paper. It turns out that the owner of this newspaper, Uncle Jiaying (played by Luo Jiaying), is Duanmuming's son, and the sutra box is hidden in the newspaper.

So Adventure King and Bao Xingcai sneak into the newspaper office to do odd jobs, and Bao Xingcai falls in love at first sight with Xinxin (played by Yang Caini), a female typesetting worker.

The Adventure King learned the whereabouts of the sutra box and informed General Long. However, when General Long arrived in Shanghai by train, he was attacked by the Japanese as soon as he stepped out of the train. Admiral Nora and his men rushed to the station and wanted to kidnap General Long.

Later, the Japanese colonel (played by Billy Chow) ignored General Nora's safety and ordered the firing of poison gas bombs in an attempt to kill General Long, causing General Nora to break with the Japanese. The Adventure King rescued Admiral Nora, and the two got the scripture box from Uncle Jiaying and decided to find the Wordless Book together.

It turns out that the Wordless Book of Heaven is hidden in an underground temple in the Jiayuguan section of the Great Wall. Adventure King, Admiral Nailiang, Bao Xingcai and Xinxin all came to Jiayuguan and entered the temple. However, Ni Ba rushed from behind to snatch the Book of Heaven, and started a battle with the Adventure King in the temple.

In the chaos, the sutra box was opened again, and it turned out that there was a lot of radiation inside. Admiral Noliang and Ni Ba both died due to the radiation. The Adventure King finally placed both the Book of Heaven and the Sutra Box in the hands of the statue in the center of the temple, thus opening the mechanism, and the holographic image of Master Xuanzang appeared in front of him.

Master Xuanzang was able to predict the future, and he calculated that Cabbage and Xinxin would become husband and wife.

The war of aggression against China launched by the Japanese would eventually suffer a disastrous defeat in 1945.

The three adventure kings finally left with complicated emotions and started a new adventure.

Compared with the original film version, the reshoot version had to re-revise the plot due to a lot of missing rubber, and fill in the original film's scenes with novel content.

As the plot develops in the film, the two timelines of modern Hong Kong and Republic of China Shanghai intersperse and develop together.

Overall, both versions may have their own merits.

But from Chen Qiming's perspective, he still prefers the original version.
