Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Check it out, godfather!"

Hong Kong Police Headquarters, in the Commissioner's Office-——

Yan Xiong handed a piece of information to Du Yongxiao.

The Office of the Commissioner of Police is not open to everyone who wants to come and enter. Yan Xiong is the only exception.

As Du Yongxiao's only "godson", the entire police headquarters knew that he had a special status.

Even every time Yan Xiong came here, the police officers, including Gui Lao, nodded to him and occasionally called him "Master Yan".

At this moment, Yan Xiong has successfully completed the task assigned by Du Yongxiao last time and is handing the collected information to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao sat behind his desk, flipping through the information. Yan Xiong said beside him: "Jiang Ling'er is not a British Chinese, nor is she an international student. The parents' background she said are all false. According to the clues, she is probably That female pirate from Pirate Island!”

Yan Xiong glanced at Du Yongxiao, and Du Yongxiao frowned, "In addition, I also got information that the reason why she is able to be your neighbor is because she is getting close to you..."

Yan Xiong then reported all the found information to Du Yongxiao in great detail.

The more Du Yongxiao listened, the higher his frown became.

"As for the last time you were drunk, it was probably Jiang Ling'er who was planning some conspiracy. I investigated and found out that there was a man beside her named Jiang Shaolong. On the surface, they were brother and sister. In fact, Jiang Shaolong was an orphan adopted by Jiang Ling'er's parents. The island acts as a military advisor..."

Yan Xiong explained everything he investigated clearly.

Who is Du Yongxiao?

He was a master of strategy and quickly figured out everything, but what puzzled him was why Jiang Ling'er sacrificed her appearance to be bullied by him? What is her purpose for doing this?

Since he couldn't figure it out, Du Yongxiao stopped thinking about it.

"Godfather, if you need it, I can ask someone to find Jiang Ling'er. Look -" Yan Xiong tentatively said.

"No need." Du Yongxiao waved his hand and threw the information on the desk. "Even if you look for it, you probably won't find it. She is a very shrewd woman and her guess is good. Now she has escaped long ago."

"No way. Could it be that she guessed that we would go back to find her?" Yan Xiong asked suspiciously.

Du Yongxiao stopped talking. He picked up the pen and finished correcting the document at hand. Then he said to Yan Xiong: "I don't plan to go to England this time to make a big fight, and I don't plan to bring too many people there. Just accompany me."

"Ah, me?" Yan Xiong was stunned, then overjoyed. "Okay, okay, I'll prepare immediately and accompany you to the UK with my godfather!"

Yan Xiong almost jumped up with joy.

For him, this is a great honor.

Going to England to participate in the award ceremony with Du Yongxiao will be something you can brag about to your children and grandchildren for the rest of your life.

What's more, Du Yongxiao also said that he would not take anyone with him, but only him. What does this mean? It shows that Du Yongxiao has super trust in him.

Du Yongxiao told Yan Xiong a few more things that needed attention before sending him away.

Yan Xiong walked out of the Police Commissioner's office, his chest puffed out and his belly arrogant immediately.

He was walking in the corridor, humming a tune with his hands behind his back. When a Chinese police officer saw him, he immediately said hello: "Master Yan, you look like you are in a good mood. Do you want to go to Taibai Building for a few drinks tonight?"

Yan Xiong waved his hand: "No, let's do it next time. I have something to do."

"Haha, Mr. Yan, what's more important than drinking?" Several more police officers came over and said, "Why don't we have a group tonight, and after drinking, go for a massage and have sex!"

"It's really not necessary!" Yan Xiong waved his hand again, "Soon I will accompany you, Director Du, to the UK to receive a medal from Her Majesty the Queen. I have to go back to pack my luggage today... By the way, your Director Du is also my godfather. , you can’t do it without me, I won’t take anyone with you this time, you only need me to accompany you!”

Everyone was stunned for a moment and immediately gave Yan Xiong a thumbs up: "Master Yan, you are still sharp!"

"Yes, Master Yan, thank you for your hard work! You must take good care of our Director Du!"

"Master Yan, those who are capable should work harder!"

Listening to everyone's praise, Yan Xiong's heart was so beautiful that he put his hands behind his back again and said humbly: "No matter how hard it is to work for my godfather, no matter how hard and tiring it is, I still have the duty to do it!"

…

"Ah Xiao, do you really want to take Yan Xiong to England alone?"

In the director's residence, her mother Li Cuilian and her father Du Dapao were sitting at attention. They looked at Du Yongxiao and said, "It's not that we dislike Yan Xiong. Yan Xiong is old and his hands and feet are slow. In addition, he said he has thick blood fat and high blood sugar. I need you to take care of him on the way."

"Yes, although Yan Xiong looks very shrewd, he is also very confused sometimes, especially likes to eat and drink. This kind of person is most likely to make mistakes. The most important thing is whether his force is worth it. If something happens to you on the road, Who will protect you? Why don't you bring a few more people over, and I'll find some good bodyguards for you! By the way, there are some good ones in Hong Yihai!" Dad Du Dapao said.

Before Du Yongxiao could speak, Yan Xiong standing next to him couldn't help coughing and said: "Sister Lian, Brother Pao, after all, I'm standing here, you don't have to be so rude and say I'm worthless, right?"

Du Dapao got up from his seat, stepped forward and patted Yan Xiong on the shoulder: "When we say this, we don't treat you as an outsider."

"Yes, we criticize you just because you are so familiar with us." Li Cuilian said.

Yan Xiong rolled his eyes.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "This trip to England is just to award honors, not to fight, so there is no need to bring so many people with me. Yan Xiong has been with me for a long time, and it is easy to use. Besides, this is the peaceful era, how can there be so many criminals?"

Mom and Dad looked at each other.

Li Cuilian said: "Since you said so, then I will do as you wish. Originally, I wanted Ah Shun to accompany you there, but Ah Shun and that girl Chun Li are having a hot fight, and the two of them are planning to open a shop and do business recently—— You also know that your younger brother is not very smart, and it is rare for a girl to treat him sincerely without looking for money."

Dad Du Dapao continued: "So Axiao, you must work hard! Maybe your younger brother will get married first, and then you, the eldest brother, will be embarrassed!"

"Yes, Axiao! Although our family doesn't have so many rules, if your younger brother really walks in front of you, outsiders will gossip. You must work hard and strive to make your life-long event happen by the end of this year. It’s decided.” Mom Li Cuilian said earnestly, “Your dad and I don’t want anything right now, we just want to hold a grandson!”

Du Yongxiao was speechless and quickly changed the topic: "Okay, I'm going to go upstairs and pack my things! Yan Xiong, please book your boat ticket and don't delay the departure time."

"Yes, godfather!"

Watching Du Yongxiao go upstairs, Yan Xiong turned around and said to Du Dapao and Li Cuilian: "Sister Lian, Brother Pao, don't worry! Although my force is not worth it, I will definitely protect Mr. Du! In a word," Yan Xiong slapped his chest, "As long as I, Yan Xiong, breathe, I will protect him!"

…

To Yongxiao is about to leave Hong Kong, and the black and white parties in Hong Kong have mixed reactions.

To them, Du Yongxiao is simply Hong Kong's current "anchor". Once he leaves, there is no telling what will happen in Hong Kong.

But soon, Du Yongxiao said that during his absence, no matter who dared to cause trouble in Hong Kong, he would definitely settle the score after he comes back.

As soon as these words came out, the originally turbulent black and white circles in Hong Kong immediately became quiet again.

Those emerging associations originally wanted to take advantage of Du Yongxiao's departure from Hong Kong to seize territory, but now they have ceased to exist.

But what Du Yongxiao didn't expect was that before leaving, Jiahe bosses Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang came to find him.

It turned out that Bruce Lee left Golden Harvest and went to Hollywood to develop in the past two years. Du Yongxiao created many opportunities for him, and Bruce Lee lived up to expectations and became a Hollywood superstar.

Without the support of Bruce Lee, Golden Harvest continued to compete with Shaw Brothers in its films. Shaw Brothers had carried out film reforms. Both martial arts and horror films were excellent, but Golden Harvest was slowly falling behind.

In addition, Baodao Capital has entered Hong Kong. For example, Ni Kun teamed up with He Junxiong to establish "Kunxiong Film Company", Lei Juekun teamed up with Xu Sanxiong to establish "Thunder Film Company", and the rest include "Debao Film Company" , "Noon Film Company", "Jiayi Film Company" and so on.

These are film companies built by Hong Kong and foreign capital. Seeing the booming Hong Kong film market, they want to get a piece of the pie.

Since then, Golden Harvest Film Company has become even more stressed, and now it has suffered box office losses for three consecutive months. For this reason, the two came to apologize before To Yongxiao left Hong Kong.

In Du Yongxiao's private study——

"I'm sorry, Mr. Du, we have failed to live up to your expectations. Now Jiahe is being attacked from both sides and has reported losses for three consecutive months!" Zou Wenhuai sat on the sofa, lowered his head, and apologized to Du Yongxiao.

"Since Bruce Lee went to Hollywood to develop, we at Golden Harvest have lost our backbone, and those audiences no longer buy in. The most important thing is that the film market is now diversified, and many companies have started shooting low-cost movies that have better box office than ours!" He Guanchang explained road.

Du Yongxiao motioned for them to drink water first and said, "I understand what you are talking about. It was my idea for Aaron to go to Hollywood. After all, the Hong Kong market is not big. He will have a greater future in Hollywood, but I didn't expect you to rely on him." It’s going to be so deep—”

"But you should also understand that a company cannot be supported by one person alone. This kind of development cannot last long. What you have to do is to win with the quality of movies." Du Yongxiao analyzed.

"As you just said, there are now many film companies flooding into the market, and many low-cost films have been able to defeat Jiahe steadily and sell well at the box office. Haven't you studied the reasons for this?"

"Uh, this -" Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang looked at each other, "We have also watched those movies. Although the production is rough, the plot is very good."

"That's right!" Du Yongxiao nodded, "That's the reason! If their plot is good, it means the script is good and the story is good! Why can they write good stories and make good plots even though they have no money? Jiahe has a lot of money, but Can’t you make a good movie?”

Du Yongxiao's words directly asked Zou Wenhuai and they didn't know how to answer.

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Many movies are good because they have no money! Good movies in Hong Kong are all low-cost and not sidelined. Only when there is a recession can you use your brain. Only when you have no money can you be creative. Only when you have no money can you use your brain." When it comes to money, you don’t know how to think, that’s it, it’s that simple.”

In fact, Du Yongxiao is talking about an interesting phenomenon - money is not enough and brains are not enough to get together. If people want to spend less, they will spend more. Money comes too easily for anything, and you won’t do the hard and brain-consuming things too quickly. So when a film company can easily make money in the market by relying on a big star, it can't be expected to write a good script and polish the movie.

"Mr. Du, we understand!"

"Yes, Mr. Du, your words have enlightened us! We are so ashamed, so ashamed, we have ignored the most basic things!"

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang said respectively.

Du Yongxiao smiled. In a movie or TV series, the director and actors are all important, but the script is the key.

Since Du Yongxiao wants to dominate the film and television entertainment industry, there are so many classic movies in the past life. This world either does not exist or has not yet appeared. If he hides them all in his mind and does not show them out, he will not only be stupid, but also very sorry for those classics.

So while Zou Wenhuai and the others were still "ashamed", Du Yongxiao had already stood up and walked over, opened the desk drawer, took out a few scripts from it and turned around to hand them to them.

"Now, these are the script outlines I wrote in my spare time. Do you think they are useful?"

To Yongxiao's tone is very humble. In fact, the scripts he submitted are all heavyweight classic films from the previous life, including the "Happy Ghost" series, the "Best Partner" series, the "Infernal Affairs" series, and Hong Kong's favorite Watched the martial arts movies "Fearless", "Once Upon a Time" and so on.

Only Huang Ying, his female secretary, had read the outlines of the scripts written by Du Yongxiao, and she didn't feel much about them.

She has never been exposed to the film and television industry, that is, from an ordinary person's perspective. Some of the scripts she has read are not interesting at all, and some find them interesting, but that's all. If you really want to say what the prospects are for filming, she can't imagine it at all.

But Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang in front of them were different.

They are filmmakers themselves and have an innate sensitivity to scripts.

Of course, they were not very optimistic about the script that Du Yongxiao handed over at first. After all, every line is like a mountain. Du Yongxiao is good at catching thieves, and writing scripts may be just for fun.

But when they carefully read through the script outlines, the expressions on their faces gradually changed from casual to horrified, and finally shocked!

They had never believed that genius existed in the world, but with these scripts, for the first time they felt that genius was right in front of them!

Although there are still many flaws in these script outlines, as they thought, Du Yongxiao is not a filmmaker or a professional, but Du Yongxiao has poured all his imagination into these outlines.

Looking at the outline of the script, Zou Wenhuai and the others immediately thought of the corresponding movie story in their minds, and then——

Everything falls into place.

"Genius, Mr. Du, you are such a genius!"

"Mr. Du, I admire you so much!"

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang looked at Du Yongxiao excitedly. Deep down in their hearts, they already regarded Du Yongxiao as a god. They wished they could kneel on the ground, worship Du Yongxiao, and ask Du Yongxiao to accept their knees.

"Okay, you can leave - I hope that when I come back from England, Jiahe will be famous in Hong Kong with these scripts!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile.

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen!"

"We will never let you down!"

At this moment, the frustrated two people were full of energy, looking at Du Yongxiao and swearing.
