Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

On November 18, at the Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong Island, a red carpet stretched far out in front of the Ocean Terminal, the flagship cinema of the Golden Harvest Cinemas chain.

Before it even got dark, the streets were already packed with young movie fans and media reporters.

Today is the premiere of "Tai Chi Master," and the media and movie fans are full of anticipation for Jet Li's new film.

93 was Li Lianjie's most productive year.

2月份【黄飞鸿3之狮王争霸】、3月份【功夫皇帝方世玉】，4月份【黄飞鸿之铁鸡斗蜈蚣】，7月份【方世玉续集】。

The four films grossed 2700 million, 3000 million, 1800 million, and 2300 million respectively at the box office.

His personal cumulative box office earnings are nearly 100 million.

It seems they are trying to replicate the miracle of 92, the "Year of Stephen Chow".

Moreover, apart from "Once Upon a Time in China III", the other three of these four films were produced by Jet Li's newly established Eastern Productions.

He has broken free from the constraints of being an actor and is beginning to transform into an investor and a capital tycoon.

The media also used the title of the film, "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu," to give him the nickname "Kung Fu Emperor."

Li Lianjie was enjoying unparalleled fame.

He himself is very confident in this new work.

The company's first three films, even the worst one, grossed 1800 million at the box office, making them very wealthy.

This film, "Tai Chi Master," doesn't need to have a very high box office; it just needs to be similar to this one.

With this, Eastern Entertainment could earn HK$90 million in Hong Kong box office revenue this year. Adding in overseas copyright and box office revenue, it's conservatively estimated that they could make HK$100 million!

Don't be surprised, here's a little-known fact.

Taiwan Island has always been the largest overseas box office market for Hong Kong films, bar none.

Jet Li's films often perform better at the box office in Taiwan than in Hong Kong.

Take "Iron Rooster vs. Centipede" as an example.

The film grossed HK$1800 million in Hong Kong Island and NT$1.22 million in Taiwan Island, which is equivalent to more than HK$3500 million!

Although Taiwan buys out all the tickets directly and doesn't share the box office revenue.

However, the buyout price exceeded 1000 million, which is higher than the box office revenue share in Hong Kong Island.

So earning 100 million a year is no exaggeration for Li Lianjie, who owns Orient Securities.

As long as the movie is a big hit, you can make a lot of money by starting your own film company.

Otherwise, people like Stephen Chow and Andy Lau wouldn't have all started their own film companies.

However, the entrepreneurial journeys of these two individuals were not smooth; they failed to achieve their goals before their companies collapsed halfway through their ventures.

The premiere began at 7 p.m.

One by one, celebrities walked the red carpet in their gowns.

Of course, there were also some celebrities who came to ride the coattails of Jet Li's popularity, but most of them were genuinely there to support him.

The red carpet was dazzling with stars, resembling a mini awards ceremony.

During the waiting time, He Xi met many celebrities.

Actors like Yuen Biao, Max Mok, Xiong Xin-xin, Ji Chunhua, Li Zixiong, Chin Ka-lok, etc...

These are all people who have worked with Jet Li before.

With Jet Li's introduction, He Xi greeted and got to know these people. None of them were A-list stars; they had all played supporting roles for Jet Li, and they all behaved very politely.

On the other hand, actresses like Rosamund Kwan, Brigitte Lin, Michelle Reis, and Amy Kwok appeared relatively more polite (and perhaps a little arrogant).

They are all beautiful women, and all leading ladies. Wherever they go, they are surrounded and fawned over by a group of perverts, so their pride is naturally a bit higher.

As a complete newcomer playing supporting roles, He Xi had neither works nor fame. Compared to top-tier female stars, she was about the same as a male model.

With so many handsome male celebrities present, he's just an escort. Getting involved with him would easily lower your own status.

No matter what circle you're in, being bad at cooking is the original sin.

He Xi understood this principle, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with what these female celebrities were doing.

However, I still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

The desire to become famous has become stronger than ever before.

If I had the fame that Jet Li has now, wouldn't I be able to kiss whichever female celebrity I wanted, however I wanted?

Getting seven or eight special rewards a day is probably not a problem.

pity……

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!"

He Xi sighed softly.

"How are you feeling? Nervous?"

Beside her, Yuan Jieying asked with concern.

The two, as a couple, were arranged to appear in the final stage, the second to last pair, leaving only Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh as the male and female leads.

Yuan Jieying still sported her short hair, but wore a pure white evening gown.

Originally, she didn't plan to wear an evening gown.

She has always had a short hairstyle and her clothing style is also more androgynous, often wearing a white shirt with a suit, which is both cool and stylish, appealing to both men and women.

However, when He Xi followed Li Lianjie's advice and communicated with her in advance about the color and style of the dress, she did not hesitate to choose to wear an evening gown.

Moreover, it was pure white, with lace trim and a puffy skirt, and a white veil hat as decoration on her head.

It looks good, but something feels a little... weird.

With the help of the Heart Sutra, He Xi's tension had been greatly relieved, and her sigh just now was not because of that.

However, when Yuan Jieying asked, he nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, this is the first time I've met so many industry veterans and big names, and the first time I've attended such a grand ceremony. There are so many fans and media reporters here. What if I make a mistake..."

"Oh, it's alright!"

Yuan Jieying stepped forward, interrupting He Xi, and reached out to straighten his bow tie.

"You're so beautiful, your kung fu is so amazing, and most importantly, you're young and energetic!"

"Brother Jie has suffered so many injuries, he won't be able to play for many more years, then..."

"You are the next Kung Fu King!"

"Go for it, my Kung Fu King!"

Yuan Jieying smiled and clenched her little fist.

He Xi blinked.

"Your Kung Fu King is very nervous right now and needs some encouraging love..."

Yuan Jieying understood immediately, put her arm around He Xi's shoulder, and stood on tiptoe.

"mua..."

She originally only intended to try it briefly, but He Xi firmly controlled her.

Moreover, He Xi's hands began to have their own thoughts...

As Lu Xun once said, a woman should dress in mourning clothes to look pretty.

Yuan Jieying has a good foundation to begin with. Although she still has short hair today, this white dress has elevated her looks and temperament to a whole new level.

This further triggered certain things in He Xi...

"hiss!"

A few minutes later, He Xi exclaimed in surprise, covered her mouth, and took a step back.

"Sister Ying, are you trying to murder your husband?!"

"It doesn't matter if I become mute without a tongue, but you'll definitely have less fun!"

Yuan Jieying blushed and glared at him, while adjusting her skirt and complaining in a low voice.

"We're about to go on stage, and you're so busy you won't stop easily. You don't want us to walk the red carpet in this state, do you?"

He Xi lowered his head.

Yeah, that's a bit too arrogant.

"Sister Ying, can you help me...?"
