Just as Li Xuan and his group were flying back to Hong Kong from Taiwan, in the tea restaurant on the first floor of the Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel, two bigwigs from New Art City Mai Jia and Huang Baiming were also whispering something.

Huang Baiming is a well-known Kuaishou screenwriter in Hong Kong, and his speed is about second only to Ni Fu, who has only written without changing it. Just like the later generations of "Hitting the Wrong Car" sold in Taiwan, only two days, "The Aura" took three days, and "The Best Partner" that caused a sensation in Hong Kong only took only one week to write.

Of course, the script is not called "Best Partner" now.

Huang Boming looked at the script in his hand and asked Mai Jia next to him for a moment: "Bald man, is it really good to find Zhou Runfa to play that thief? You have to know that he is a box office poison."

"Aren't you going to find a handsome guy to play?" Mai Jia took a sip of coffee and said loudly: "Zhou Runfa is so handsome guy. Besides, isn't his "The Story of Hu Yue" a hit and a hit, and it's a box office poison? I think he just didn't meet a good director."

"Do you think Xu might train him well?"

"That boy Xu Ke is still a little capable." Mai Jia touched her bald head and said, "You see, this movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was very good, which made us make a big profit in New Art City."

"But……"

"Hey, stop talking, stop talking, Zhou Run is here." Mai Jia quickly interrupted Huang Baiming's words, stood up and greeted Zhou Runfa not far away, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I really delayed you today. I'm very busy recently?"

"Haha, no delay, no delay, I'm not very busy lately." Zhou Run replied, then stretched out his right hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Mai!"

"Okay." Mai Jia gently turned around.

After the two said hello, Zhou Runfa and Huang Baiming greeted each other again, and then the three of them sat down again.

After Zhou Runfa gave a gentle explanation to the waiter, he looked at Mai Jia and asked, "I heard what Mr. Mai said on the phone, are you trying to make a movie with me?"

"Yes." Mai Jia nodded and continued: "Our company has been trying to make a script recently. I feel that the protagonist Mr. Zhou is quite suitable to play."

"Oh?" Zhou Runfa was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Then can I read the script first?"

"Yes, I believe Mr. Zhou will like this script." Huang Boming, who was standing beside him, then handed the script in his hand to Zhou Runfa. He didn't film Zhou Runfa and leaked the script. In addition to believing in Zhou Runfa's character, the tens of millions of investment required by this script are not something ordinary filmmakers dare to take out.

"Bald Detective"?

Zhou Runfa looked at the cover page and pondered silently in his heart, then opened the script and started to read it carefully.

"Hey, bald guy." Huang Baiming patted Mai Jia's arm and whispered.

After looking at Zhou Run, who was concentrating on reading the script, Mai Jia turned her head and asked whispered: "What's the matter?"

"You have a good attitude. Just now when you stood up and shook hands, I saw that your height is about the same. It's great to be a partner!"

"That's more important." Mai Jia replied proudly.

Zhou Runfa was obviously very attentive to read the script. He was not halfway through Mai Jia and his two men who finished drinking a whole cup of coffee. But even so, he could tell the quality of the script.

"Mr. Mai, I like this script very much." Zhou Runfa closed the script in his hand and handed it back and said: "And I am very happy to be able to work with Mr. Mai. I just don't know when the filming of this movie will start?"

"When will the film start..." Maijia paused, then continued: "It will probably be around September."

Zhou Runfa was slightly stunned and then said, "September? Can't this be earlier or delayed?"

“…”

Mai Jia and Huang Boming looked at each other, then Huang Boming asked, "What, Mr. Zhou has no schedule in September?"

"Yes." Zhou Runfa nodded with a wry smile and replied: "I have taken on a new drama in Zhucheng in September, and I will not be able to get any other time at that time."

"That's going to be troublesome." Mai Jia sighed. He didn't expect that he would encounter such troubles when he found an actor.

"Yes!" Zhou Runfa said: "So I want to ask, your movie can..."

"Mr. Zhou, our movie is for the New Year's Eve." Mai Jia explained with a bitter face: "You can tell how much investment this movie is, so it is definitely not possible to shoot early. It will take more than a month to prepare for anything else. If it is postponed, it will definitely not be able to catch up with next year's Eve. So this time in September will definitely not be changed."

"well--"

Zhou Runfa sighed and said slowly: "That can only be said that I have a fate with this script."

“…”

Mai Jia and Huang Baiming looked at Zhou Runfa's disappointed and left behind for a while and wanted to speak to Wu. After a while, Huang Baiming murmured: "Now the male protagonist is gone, what should we do?"

"What should I do?" Mai Jia thought for a moment and suddenly said, "It's better to find Xu Shijie."

“…”

Huang Baiming widened his small eyes and asked in surprise: "Xu Shijie, isn't he from Jiahe?"

"He didn't sign a contract with Jiahe. Since Li Xuan could use one million to ask him to help Shaw Brothers film, then we..." Mai Jia thought for a while and continued: "Then why can't we spend two million to ask him to help our New Art City film? It's best if we can directly dig up all his people."

Huang Baiming said blankly: "You bald guy, really dare to think about it!"

"What do you think, go quickly." Mai Jia replied casually, then stood up from the chair.

"What are you doing?"

"Look for Xu Shijie!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Just as several bigwigs in Xinyi City were quietly discussing how to dig Jiahe's corner, Zou Wenhuai, the bigwig Jiahe, knew nothing, but she smiled.

After "Police Story" received a super box office of 11.69 million in the first week, it earned another HK$8.27 million in the second week. The overall box office was only 40,000 Hong Kong dollars away from 20 million. Although this made Zou Wenhuai a little regretful, he remembered that he earned 20 million Hong Kong dollars in half a month, these small regrets were nothing wrong!

The summer of 1981 is destined to belong to "Police Story"!

This is not only a consensus among all Hong Kong people, but also a consensus among the two large theater chains, Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin. Originally, the two planned to screen their own "Book and Sword" and "Chasing Girls" two weeks after the release of "Police Story". However, after seeing the super performance of "Police Story", the two theater chains extended the release period of the movie by one week.

However, no matter how good a movie is, the number of viewers in two weeks will be almost half less than when it was first released. So two weeks after "Police Story" was released, Jiahe Theater began to reduce the number of screenings, and several luxury theaters also withdrew from the screening alliance.

In the third week of the release of "Police Story", it continued to earn HK$5.16 million, and finally successfully broke the Hong Kong box office record that "Modern Box Office" has just maintained for half a year.

Jiahe broke Hong Kong's box office record in three years. This glory really made Zou Wenhuai so happy that he couldn't stop. At this moment, he could proudly say that Jiahe's rookie's achievements have far exceeded that of Shaw Brothers in the East!

Zou Wenhuai also booked a whole floor in Fulinmen, preparing to hold a big celebration banquet after painting under "Police Story".

At this moment, as "Police Story" was already exhausted, Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin released their own fine movies one after another, and the two guys bypassed the Jiahe Cinemas to start the third battle.

There is no need to say much about the result. After Chu Yuan's "The Book of Swords" suffered another defeat in Hong Kong after a box office defeat in Taiwan. "The Book of Swords" was released in Hong Kong only seven days after it was released in Hong Kong, because the number of viewers was too small, it was painted together with Jiahe's "Police Story".

In the end, "The Book of Swords" received a box office of HK$1.57 million, which was a crushing defeat for Chu Yuan, especially the results of "Police Story" in the last week were nearly HK$800,000 more than "The Book of Swords".

As for "Police Story", although the police and gangster films are not as strong as the comedy film, they still scored 27.4 million in total when they were released four weeks after the filming.

The success of "Police Story" has caused a sensation in Hong Kong.

"When will it exceed 30 million again? Looking at the prospects of Hong Kong movies! - Oriental Daily"

"The advent of the era of police and gangster films, the rise of martial arts fighting for life? - Sing Tao Morning News"

"A new sign of Hong Kong's economic take-off, the successive explosion of the film industry. - Hong Kong Business Daily"

“…”

Just when "Police Story" attracted a lot of praise in Hong Kong, its performance in Taiwan was also quite good.

"Police Story" has won a super high box office of NT$17 million in three weeks of release, under the squeeze of two powerful Western films, "IQ IQ Zero Egg" and "Superman 2". Although the schedule of Hong Kong films in Taiwan is usually only about one month, "Police Story" has exceeded NT$20 million. Now, when will this movie break the box office record of "Swordsman" be held.

As for whether the box office of "Police Story" can beat these two Western films, Li Xuan didn't have to think about it. Nearly half of the extra screen count in Western films can't be caught up with just the quality of the movie. This scene is so similar to the battle between "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "Modern Bodyguard" in Hong Kong at the beginning of the year.

Just as Hong Kong people were still hotly discussing the "Police Story" and Zou Wenhuai was busy fiddling with his celebration banquet, a news broke out by Oriental Daily shocked the entire Hong Kong film industry and also caught Zou Wenhuai off guard.
