Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Early in the morning, the film crew arrived at this street and made various preparations, waiting for the morning rush hour to pass before starting filming.

To familiarize themselves with the environment, the actors who had rehearsed today arrived early to discuss filming with the director and martial arts instructor.

In today's drama, Yu Liang is the protagonist, and most of the scenes focus on his character, Da Lai, showcasing Da Lai's cruelty, cunning, and high combat prowess.

"When the armored truck comes from that direction, you drive your car to force it to stop, and then have a shootout with the security guards..." The director explained this scene to Yu Liang again.

Yu Liang was already so familiar with this scene that he knew it by heart, but he still carefully went over the procedure with the director. Afterwards, seeing that the martial arts director Nie Jinlong was also there, he brought up one of his clever ideas.

"Director Jia, Instructor Nie, after Da Lai finishes the robbery and gets into the car, can I jump in through the passenger window?" Yu Liang said, gesturing as he spoke. "The car can drive slowly, and once he's in, we can drive away quickly. That would make it more entertaining."

In this scene, Da Lai is shooting at the guards and nearby officers who hear the commotion while retreating. To convey the suspense and the urgency of the situation, Jia Zhendong and Nie Jinlong devised several plans, but they always felt something was missing.

Upon hearing Yu Liang's suggestion, Nie Jinlong and Jia Zhendong went over it in their minds, exchanged a glance, and said, "That's a good idea."

"But can you do it?" As a martial arts instructor, Nie Jinlong knew best about the difficulty of the movements. According to Yu Liang, jogging a short distance and then jumping up to get into the passenger side window of a slowly moving car was a very difficult task.

Even if he were to do it, if he wasn't careful, he would either get his upper body stuck in the car window above, or he would jump in with both feet and be unable to turn his body around properly. In short, he was prone to injury.

Yu Liang had been waiting for this day for who knows how long. The inspiration for this move came from the day he bought the car, and he practiced it countless times in private. First, he jumped in through the window of his house, and only after he was proficient at it did he jump out of the car window.

"Let me show it to you two first," Yu Liang said.

Jia Zhendong immediately asked the assistant director to bring over the car, the very car that would be used to pick up Da Lai during filming.

The car stopped, and under the tense gazes of Jia Zhendong and Nie Jinlong, Yu Liang nimbly jumped in through the window, sat up straight with agility, and even mimed fastening his seatbelt. His smooth movements pleased Jia Zhendong and Nie Jinlong.

"Try again," Jia Zhendong said.

Seeing that Yu Liang's action was very natural, Nie Jinlong said to the actor driving the car, "Drive the car slowly."

After Yu Liang got out of the car, the actor driving the car slowly started driving as instructed by Nie Jinlong.

Then Yu Liang took a running start and quickly jumped into the car through the window.

This time, however, the difference between driving and driving a stationary car was too great; he almost hit his head on the car. Fortunately, he managed to complete the maneuver.

Jia Zhendong made the decision: "We'll do this move in a bit!"

Such great action sequences are exactly what action movies need. What makes action movies so appealing? It's these kinds of highly difficult and visually stunning stunts.

After filming began, even though the morning rush hour had passed, there were still quite a few pedestrians on the street. Seeing the film crew shooting an action movie, the idle pedestrians gathered around to watch.

With a large number of people, it inevitably becomes lively.

Several motorcycles stopped in front of a tobacco shop. One of the men, a tall man with tattooed arms, bought a pack of cigarettes, smoked one, and asked his henchman, "What are you doing over there?"

"It looks like they're filming a movie."

Which film company made this?

"I'll go ask." The henchman immediately drove his motorcycle over, took a look, asked a few questions, and came back to tell the man, "Brother Ying, it's a movie by Shengshi Entertainment."

The man known as Brother Ying narrowed his eyes and said, "People from Shengshi Entertainment come to my territory to do business. Do they know the rules?"

The henchman next to him understood what Ying Ge meant, "I'll call a few brothers over later to teach them the rules."

Ying Ge got back on the motorcycle, the engine roared like thunder, and it sped recklessly through the streets, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, a group of gangsters with cigarettes in their mouths and swaggering around arrogantly pushed aside the citizens watching the filming and walked in, kicking over the props of the crew.

"Who gave you permission to film here? Do you even know whose land this is?" The gang leader pulled a wooden stick from his belt and pointed it at the film crew: "Who's in charge? Step forward!"

Assistant director Shen Chunming could tell at a glance that they were gangsters who came to collect protection money. This kind of thing happens often in the film industry. Whenever you go on location and go to the territory of some gangs, you will inevitably encounter them.

However, since Huang Yuliang made a name for himself, few people have dared to cause trouble for Shengshi Entertainment.

Shengshi Entertainment has made several movies, but this is the first time they've encountered someone who dares to demand protection money from them.

Shen Chunming walked over, took out a cigarette to offer to the leader of the gangsters, but the gangsters threw it on the ground and cursed, "What are you? Do you look down on me? Do you think I'm a beggar?"

Shen Chunyang said with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, we are from Shengshi Entertainment. We are just using your place to film a movie. Please, for Mr. Huang's sake, let's talk this out."

"Whoever knows who Huang Sheng, Bai Sheng, or Hei Sheng is the boss on this land!"

Thinking it best to avoid trouble and finish filming smoothly without delaying the production schedule, Shen Chunming took out a wad of cash from his bag and gave it to the gangsters, sending these big shots away.

Director Jia Zhendong walked over, looked at the backs of the gangsters, and asked, "Whose henchmen are they?"

Shen Chunming said helplessly, "I don't know whose subordinate he is, but this territory belongs to the Changxing Gang. I thought that Huang Sheng had connections with the Changxing Gang and would at least give him some face."

Jia Zhendong frowned. He knew they were from Shengshi, yet they were here to collect protection money. What did the Changxing gang mean by this?

"Remember to get reimbursed when you get back to the company." Then he returned to the set and told the actors to speed up the filming.

Who knew that not long after filming began, a group of fierce-looking thugs came to collect protection money.

Shen Chunming suppressed his anger and said, "A few big shots came over just now and have already collected protection money."

"Who knows who you handed it over to? This territory is mine. There are rules in this business. You think you can do business here without even telling me? Are you trying to cause trouble?"

As soon as he said that, several gangsters pulled out wooden sticks and arrogantly tried to beat him up.

Seeing that things were not going well, and that it would be a huge loss if the machine were smashed, Shen Chunming smiled apologetically and gave them some money again.

After watching them leave, I immediately called the company to tell them about it.
