Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

At 11 o'clock in the morning, guests began to arrive.

The first to arrive were a group of artists signed by Hengyu Film Company.

Hengyu didn't sign too many people, but it was quite a few.

Francis Ng, Gigi Leung and Louis Koo are all signed to Hengyu Film Company.

These three are currently Hengyu’s more popular artists.

Wu Zhenyu previously won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Golden Horse Awards which ended in December for his role in "Red Sea" and was very popular.

He also played Liang Kun in Wang Jing's "Young and Dangerous", and even appeared in "All's Well, Ends Well 97" which was going to compete with "The Man from Lonely Planet".

As for Gigi Leung, after "The Ring", she starred in "Chariots of Fire" with Andy Lau, which was also released in December. The box office of both movies was very good, and she became a relatively popular new star in the Hong Kong film industry.

As for Louis Koo.

His contract with Hengyu Films is actually a bit complicated.

He was borrowed by Hengyu from TVB.

He hasn't filmed many dramas at Hengyu so far. His main work is the "Yin Yang Road" series. This low-cost series has good box office performance.

In addition, he has a hit TV series on TVB, which makes him quite valued at Hengyu Films.

It’s just because his contract is not entirely with Hengyu, and he has to go back to TVB to film TV series from time to time, which makes it inconvenient for Hengyu to tailor-make movies for him.

After the artists from Hengyu Film arrived, those who came next were Zhou Ziheng’s friends and friends of the crew’s main creators.

Because Zhou Ziheng has so many friends, it is impossible for him to call each one of them to ask who wants to come, so he simply sends invitations to everyone.

There are all kinds of people from Hong Kong, the mainland, and Taiwan.

What Zhou Ziheng didn’t expect was that almost all the people he invited came.

Faye Wong arrived with her husband, whom Zhou Ziheng didn't like very much.

Out of respect for Faye Wong, Zhou Ziheng still exchanged a few polite words with him.

Then there is Tong Ange, who has actually retired and rarely attends such events.

This time, he was very considerate and came to Hong Kong in person to support.

"Actually, my acting skills are pretty good too. Next time you have a good role, you can consider me."

After meeting, Tong Ange was very jealous of the scene and pulled Zhou Ziheng to ask him to give him one next time there was a role.

"Sure! I'll send you an invitation directly when the time comes, but don't even think about being the protagonist.

The protagonist is mine.”

Of course Zhou Ziheng would not refuse and agreed directly.

Later, Tony Leung and Carina Lau also came.

Although these two are somewhat estranged from Zhou Ziheng because he was previously ostracized by the Hong Kong circle.

But they were friends after all, and Zhou Ziheng felt embarrassed not to invite them when everyone else had been invited.

Then there are Leon Lai, Tony Leung Ka Fai, and Jet Li's wife Lizhi.

Jet Li was asked by Yongsheng not to come because his movie was a competitor, so his girlfriend came in his place.

After all the friends invited by Zhou Ziheng and artists from his good company arrived, Jackie Chan finally arrived.

When he arrived, he did cause a commotion.

The reporters present were all shocked.

"It seems like these two have never interacted with each other. Jackie Chan actually left his own movie promotion alone to come help Zhou Ziheng?"

"What do you think? Are these two sending some kind of signal to the outside world? Are they collaborating?"

Who knows Zhou Ziheng's social relationships best?

It’s definitely the media.

These media outlets had nothing to do every day, so they dug out Zhou Ziheng's social circle completely.

As far as they know, Zhou Ziheng and Jackie Chan have little contact.

But now Jackie Chan actually appeared at Zhou Ziheng's movie premiere.

What does this mean?
Reporters speculated whether Zhou Ziheng and Jackie Chan had some kind of collaboration. Curious reporters asked directly in the interview area before the premiere was over.

"Jackie, didn't your movie just come out? Logically, you and Zhou Ziheng should be competitors! How come you showed up at his premiere?"

"Will you have future cooperation?"

"Hengyu and Jiahe have always had a bad relationship. Do you want Jiahe to agree to come over?"

“Do we have the hope of seeing the most influential Chinese-speaking region in the world be a collaboration between these two people?”

Don’t be fooled by Jackie Chan’s usual carefree appearance. In fact, he is very smart and has high emotional intelligence.

He said directly:
“I’ve actually always wanted to be in the same frame with Zhou Ziheng, but I never had the chance.

This time, I took the initiative to contact Hengyu, hoping to attend his premiere.

As for the cooperation you mentioned.

Of course I hope to work with him, but you know, it's very difficult to coordinate our pay and other aspects.

If a company can hire him and then hire me, I would be happy to cooperate.”

Jackie Chan got rid of the reporters and walked towards Zhou Ziheng immediately.

"Brother Long, welcome, welcome!" Zhou Ziheng was the first to greet him.

"I hope my coming here won't be a problem for you!"

Jackie Chan smiled and hugged Zhou Ziheng.

"It's not a big deal, we are all friends." Zhou Ziheng said politely with a smile.

In the entertainment industry, you may not know anything, but you must learn how to be polite.

After several years of training, Zhou Ziheng has already developed a thick skin.

Although he is just an acquaintance of Jackie Chan.

But in front of the camera, he still looked like an old friend.

The two of them stood in a row and let the reporters take a few photos. Then Zhou Ziheng took the initiative to lead him into the theater.

"Is your play an action movie?"

Jackie Chan asked Zhou Ziheng as he walked.

"It's an action movie. Brother Long, please give me some suggestions later. You are an expert in this area." Zhou Ziheng said with a smile.

"You're too polite. I heard that this movie received very good reviews at your internal preview.

I also heard from Yuan Kui that your fighting skills are very good, and you may have a place in the field of action movies in the future."

Jackie Chan seemed very polite.

“In fact, it’s mainly because of the good action scenes designed by Yuan Kui. When I first started filming, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to complete many scenes without his help.

Oh, and there’s Chin Kar Lok.

If it weren’t for Brother Yuan Kui borrowing him from the Hong Clan, there would be many difficult moves that I wouldn’t be able to perform at all.”

The action director of "The Man from Nowhere" is Yuan Kui.

Because it was Zhou Ziheng's first time filming an action movie, although he had been training, some actions were still too difficult for him.

In addition, there was a housekeeper named Florence Hui who was determined not to allow him to perform some difficult moves himself.

Finally, Yuan Kui borrowed Chin Kar Lok from the Hung Clan, and many of Zhou Ziheng's dangerous moves were performed by Chin Kar Lok.

“Chin Kar Lok is really amazing, he did a lot of the action for me in many scenes.

He should be the one in Hong Kong."

When talking about Chin Kar Lok, Jackie Chan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

The two of them walked into the theater chatting and laughing.

Arrange a seat for him and the premiere begins.
