01 Guo Biting and Xiang Zuo got married in Italy
Hong Kong media news is really fast, Guo Biting and Xiang Zuo just married in Italy low-key, they received the news.
Actually, the news that the two will be wedding in Europe has been reported a while ago, but the two sides have not responded to the media until there are some clues that everyone knows the news.
, Xiao Jingteng, the son of Xiang Taigan, accidentally exposed the full English menu of the wedding banquet. The words "Bea & Jacky" were clearly visible on it, and the news spread like wildfire.
Later, Guo Biting also admitted the news on social networking sites, and expressed love to Xiang Zuo Interaction: You will be the only one for the rest of his life. The sweet interaction between the two of
sprinkled a big pot of dog food for netizens, hoping that they can stay with each other in the days to come until their lifetime.
Guo Biting’s family belongs to Xiaofu’s family. This time it is upgraded to Xiangtai. I wonder if she can become the next helm of the Xiang family in the future.
Xiang Tai Chen Lan has always been a strong face, but she and Guo Biting have been getting along very well, and she has been looking forward to Guo Biting's hurry to conceive and have a child. It is estimated that she has already identified this daughter-in-law in her heart.
I just don’t know if Tai Tai Chen Lan has made the future family property distribution plan for a long time, or whether she has considered letting Guo Biting take the helm of the homesick movie kingdom in the future? The status of the
Xiang family in Hong Kong is definitely a "big brother" level existence.
Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Tai Chen Lan have always enjoyed high praise in the film and television industry. The couple are loyal and generous, and they have made many friends. The celebrities also praised them.
However, many people do not understand the "dark past" of the Xiang family before they became the movie lords.
Some people know that their family is from a society, but because their family has always been low-key, apart from the legendary stories about them, the specific details are not known. Today, I will take a look at the "dark past" of the Xiang family.
02 The coerced superstars
are in Hong Kong. Speaking of the Xiang family, everyone knows that they have a strong community background. When it comes to this, many people will automatically bring the image of Chen Haonan and his community to the young and Dangerous boy. In fact, this is It's a bit exaggerated.
Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s was chaotic, but underneath its glamorous appearance there were many mysterious and dirty transactions.
mentioned these transactions, inevitably the entertainment circle and the Xiang family.
However, many people have a bit of misunderstanding about the Xiang family. As long as the entertainment star is being coerced, everyone will automatically think of Xiangjia, but this is not the case.
At that time, there were a lot of community organizations in Hong Kong. In addition to Xiangjia’s Yongsheng, there were also various organizations such as Jiahe, 14K, New Ngee Ann, Triad, and so on. It's related to the entertainment industry.).
Many superstars were threatened by the underworld at that time. At that time, the film industry was at its peak, and the daily gains made many underworld jealous, and the safety of the superstars was also greatly threatened.
Jackie Chan once said in an interview that he had written a book, and after a hundred years of life, he would be in broad daylight, letting everyone know the darkness at that time.
cite a few cases of superstar humiliation at the time:
Jackie Chan was late for playing a big name and was fined kneeling for half an hour; (the legend has something to do with Xiang Jia, but it is actually related to Jiahe)
Jet Li’s agent Cai Ziming was shot and killed on the way to the company; (Unknown society)
Anita Mui was named by her elder brother to sing, but she was slapped after she refused; (related to Huang Langwei of 14K)
Carina Lau was kidnapped; True or false) These vicious cases above
, in the early years, many people thought it was Xiangjia's work, but the true and false, passed from side to side, no one can tell the real reason behind the scenes.
03 From Xiangjia
In 1921, Xiangjia formally registered the "Ngee Ann Chamber of Commerce and Industry" in Hong Kong. Before that, this Chamber of Commerce and Industry was actually the "Chaoshan Association" because Xiang Jia’s ancestral home is in Guangdong, and he has always been there. People walked very close.
Later, this organization was cancelled in 1947 because of too many criminal activities. The members of the organization were scattered. Some went on their own, while others followed Xiang Huaqiang's father to "Xin Yi'an."
XianghuaQiang's father, Qiang Xiang, was an officer of the Kuomintang and was once Dai Li's proud disciple. His mind, strategy, and some special methods were all trained at that time, which laid a good foundation for him to lead the society.
was deported from Hong Kong to Taiwan because of his "excessive" activities. All the affairs of the Hong Kong community were handed over to his elder son Xiang Huayan.
Xiangjia's strength is so strong, it is said that Xiang Huaqiang does not need to fight on his own, it is strange that Xiang Huaqiang and the boss are not born by the same mother.
Xiang Huaqiang’s father has 4 wives, and the family fights very fiercely. The 4 wives and concubines are also intrigue, but the mother who prefers Huaqiang is very introverted, even cowardly, and she doesn’t dare to fight at all, and finally gets her own son. They have no status.
In this way, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng went to Taiwan to make a living and start a business very early. The two brothers have a very good relationship. They depended on each other in the early days, and later they also supported each other in the process of starting a business.
Xiang's family had a high status in Hong Kong at that time, and film and television stars were also regulars of their family. The famous Wu Chufan and Deng Biyun of that era had good relations with his family. When Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng were young,
already had a certain understanding of the film industry.
In the early days, Xiang Huasheng mainly engaged in business, first in the jewelry business, then opened a large restaurant, and then opened a film production company, and slowly started his own business.
And Xiang Huaqiang has been in the film industry in the early days, and for a while he was also a famous martial artist in the circle, but he has not been popular, and staying in the film circle has no energy, so he started a film company with Xiang Huasheng. The two of
established the first "Yongsheng Pictures" in 1978, which means always victory.
However, the company didn't go well at the beginning. In order to save money, Xiang Huaqiang was allowed to play the leading role. He thought it would make a fortune. Who knew the box office was bad, and Xiang Huasheng withdrew a batch of losses.
and Xiang Huaqiang continued to mix in the film industry. In the 1980s, the film industry began to flourish, and people's pursuit of spiritual life became more and more intense, and the two were moved again. The second entrepreneurship of
was a turning point for the brothers, and they achieved their future glory.
04 Xiangjia’s starting time
In the 1980s, the two started the company again, but this time the name was changed to "Yongsheng" and one word was changed. The first film of
invited Zeng Zhiwei and Zhang Aijia, both of whom were newcomers, low cost, good quality and low price, but they made a box office of tens of millions. Under the economic conditions at the time, they were already quite remarkable. The success of the first film of
made the brothers realize the importance of cultivating their own directors, and they began to look for suitable directors everywhere.
Finally, Wang Jing walked into their sight.
Later, the success of "Yongsheng" and Wang Jing are inseparable.
Wang Jing’s father, Wang Tianlin, has always been a big-time figure in the Hong Kong film and television circle. He not only has a strong network of resources, but also knows many big stars.
As soon as Wang Jing entered Yongsheng, he brought Andy Lau and Mo Shaocong to the platform, and filmed the first "Magic Emerald", which was a big success at the box office. In one fell swoop, Yongsheng was paid tens of millions and the Xiang brothers were happy.
Anyone who knows Wang Jing knows that he is famous for making "fast food movies", the fastest one even a week.
Because of the lack of the movie market, as long as there are new movies coming out, movie theaters will basically be full. At that time, fast food movies were the public demand.
Many years later, Wang Jing said that there is no distinction between good movies and bad movies. As long as the public likes to watch them, they are good movies.
In the era when there was no IP, Yongsheng had already thought of this when filming.
In the mid-1980s, "The True Colors of Heroes" exploded, and Hong Kong and the mainland were crazy about it. Yongsheng also smelled a hint of "explosive fire" and created "Jianghu Qing" and "Heroes". As soon as
was released, it sold out!
Xiang Huasheng is indeed very clever in doing business. He already had the idea of "rubbing IP" more than 30 years ago. It is difficult to fail. In addition to being more sensitive to the trends in the film and television industry,
is also very generous in sharing accounts with directors and actors.
In order to invite McDonald, the great director at the time, to pay a big price to the brothers, all costs were spent on himWe come out, and the final profit is divided between the two parties. The conditions of
are so favorable, McDonald's heart is moved, and also attracted the then big coffee Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau.
"Hardcover Chasing Girls" and "Recently Losing Friends" both sold 20 to 30 million. Not only did they make money for the Xiang brothers, but the director was so happy to take off.
are both comedies, but they are so popular that Yongsheng was overjoyed. Later, many comedies were filmed.
In the 1990s, most of the comedies seen in the Mainland were produced by the Xiang family, and many fans should have a deep memory.
Slowly, Yongsheng moved towards its most glorious period.
05 Xiangjia’s most glorious moment
Xiang Huasheng is the best business in Xiangjia, and he is much smarter than Xiang Huaqiang.
He not only has investment vision, is generous, dare to offer prices, but is also very careful.
As long as there are good movies on the market, he will go to the cinema to watch several shows in person. At which stage the audience reacts and what plot they are interested in, he will record one by one, and then have a meeting with the company's screenwriter to discuss. In the early years of
, Yongsheng’s glory was almost all made to Huasheng.
Xiang Huasheng managed the casino in Macau in his early years, and he knows the good gambling factor in human nature. Once it is ignited, it will be out of control.
After a period of observation, he decided to shoot a gambling movie.
subsequently produced "Supreme", "God of Gamblers", "The Gambler", "The Holy Gambling" and many other gambling-themed movies, which refreshed the highest box office of Hong Kong movies and became a well-deserved winner.
At the end of the 1980s, a movie could sell for forty to fifty million at the box office. It was unimaginable! The
Xiang family has reached a glorious moment since 1990 and has become a big brother in the movie circle.
In addition, Yongsheng began to train his own actors. Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Min were both popular with Yongsheng. It is no exaggeration to say that they really carry the memories of a generation.
Of course, the scandals between Zhang Min and Xiang Huasheng are also full of enchanting and dreamy colors, making the outside world speculate.
Although the last two did not come together, it was a well-known thing at the time. Zhang Minneng had a smooth run in the entertainment industry, and he was definitely stunned by Xiang Huasheng.
Although Stephen Chow is now bigger than Zhang Min’s coffee, he was definitely Zhang Min’s supporting role back then.
Now, although Zhou Xingchi has broken up with Xiangjia, he has already established his status in the arena, but in the early days, he did rely on Xiangjia's support.
Jet Li also had a good relationship with the Xiang family at the time. This benefited from Xiang Tai Chen Lan. In order to allow Jet Li to film Yongsheng, Chen Lan had been in contact with Jet Li for half a year, and the two talents were considered successful.
Later, Jet Li was threatened by the underworld and quarreled with Jiahe to terminate the contract. He was exhausted from tossing and came forward to Xiangjia to help him.
Jet Li is also a grateful person. He has always had a good relationship with the Xiang family. So far, the Xiang family still has Jet Li’s separate bedroom. He will live for a few days every year.
Later, the market continued to change, and the mainland film circle gradually started. Everyone wanted to get a share. After "God of Gamblers 2" and "Nine Pins of Sesame Official", Yongsheng slowly began to decline. The segmentation of the
market, improved audience tastes, increased star pay, unscrupulous piracy and other reasons have reduced Yongsheng’s profits, and they began to decide to transform.
06 The transformation of Yongsheng
In 1994, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Tai Chen Lan separated from "Yongsheng Movies" and founded "Yongsheng Entertainment". Xiang Huasheng and Cai Songlin were behind the scenes and started another wave of glory.
Xiang Huasheng's body slowly went wrong in the mid-1990s, and he gradually faded out of the film and television industry and went behind the scenes. Later, he suffered from esophageal cancer and died in Peking Union Medical College Hospital on November 20, 2014. After
Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan established "Yongsheng Entertainment", they began to sign artists and gradually expanded their business scope.
However, in the early days, the boss of the two of them was always Xiang Huasheng, and there was also a Taiwanese boss Cai Songlin.
Cai Songlin is also a gang leader, more than Xiang Jia, Wang Jiawei in the early years of the public rumored that he was pointed at the head by a gun because he couldn’t make a film.Dry.
has these two big shots behind the scenes, and the development of "Yongsheng Entertainment" is also booming.
Xiang Huaqiang compared to Xiang Huasheng, in terms of business, it is really not a half-and-a-half difference in doing business. If it were not for the help of Xiangtai Chen Lan, he would have to finish playing. Fortunately,
married a good wife, and Yongsheng Entertainment was slowly included in the China Star banner and was able to go public.
Now, just talk about Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan, they have film and television companies, gambling, hotels and real estate under their umbrella.
Throughout the struggle history of the Xiang brothers, it is true that they are free from harassment because of their community background, but in the final analysis, it is because Xiang Huasheng is really very capable!
Now that the Xiang family's family business is so big, it is basically Xiang Tai Chen Lan grabbing it in one hand, and Xiang Zuo looks like a son-in-law. I don't know what role Guo Biting will play?
let us wait and see.
