Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 447 Xiangjiang First Building

   into the night

  Wan Chai Queen's Road East

  On the top floor of the Hopewell Center Building, Yang Chen and a group of people are busy filming the new police story.

  Hope Wo Center Building was completed in 1980. It has 66 floors and a height of 212 meters. It is the tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong today.

   At the same time, it was also the tallest building in Asia in the early 1980s.

  The central building of Hopewell is cylindrical and built with Australian slip-form technology. There is a revolving restaurant on the top floor, which was designed by Hu Yingxiang, chairman and architect of Hopewell Industries.

   Hopewell Centre is the first building in Heungkong to be built with Australian slip-form technology. It marks the eastward shift of Heungkong’s business district, which was later replaced by the Bank of China Building.

  In the original new police story, the first shot of the villain five people, jumping down from the building, this scene is naturally indispensable.

   In the new police story, Yang Chen deleted all the scenes where Brother Long appeared in advance, and was going to have a big scene at the beginning.

The original version of the new police story started off really badly, this movie Yang Chen is going to make it into European and American countries, the small foreshadowing in front is not suitable for outsiders to watch, it is very unnecessary, it goes directly into the villainous five-member bank plot, only then to attract maximum attention.

  The original new police story was filmed in that building, Yang Chen wasn't sure, but in the early 1980s in Xiangjiang, the tallest buildings were Hopewell Center and Jardine's Leisure Building.

  Ye He's side, Yang Chen wanted to use the building to film, it was obviously impossible, so when Wu Yusen and others were worried about this matter, Yang Chen contacted Hu Yingxiang, the chairman of Hehe Center, from Huo Daheng.

  Why contact Hu Yingxiang through Huo Daheng, the reason is very simple, because Hu Yingxiang and Huo Daheng are the same group of people who are relatively close to the inland.

   This boss is not an ordinary person. The reason why there is no news about him in later generations is that this boss is relatively low-key and rarely appears in front of the media.

   In 1972, Hu Yingxiang changed his family's business from a motorcade to real estate investment, and listed Hopewell Industrial Co., Ltd. in 1972.

  The main business of Hopewell Industrial is infrastructure project investment, property leasing, agency and management, hotel operation and management, restaurant operation and food operation, construction and project management.

   At the beginning of reform and opening up, Hu Yingxiang was one of the first investors in Hong Kong-funded enterprises to enter the mainland.

  Different from other Hong Kong capitals entering the inland to engage in real estate, Hu Yingxiang focused his investment on the construction of two major infrastructures, transportation and energy.

  Three years of reform and opening up, Hu Yingxiang has invested more than 50 billion yuan in the mainland, making important contributions to the country's reform and opening up and the economic take-off of Guangdong and Hong Kong.

   This is an invisible boss, if it wasn't for the shooting of the new police story, Yang Chen wouldn't have noticed him.

  Although the filming of the first scene was very simple, it was quite scary to think about jumping down from a building of more than 200 meters.

   Changed the average person. Hu Yingxiang would not lend the other person to shoot anything. If something happened accidentally, the fun would be great.

  Hehe Center was newly built last year. If something goes wrong, Lao Hu cannot sit on the ground and cry.

   These days, the best feng shui in Xiangjiang says that if this building is just newly built, people will die, then the reputation of Hehe Center will probably be stinky.

   However, Yang Chen's relationship is also hard, with Huo Daheng helping to speak, Boss Hu can only give half-hearted permission.

  For the sake of his own building, Boss Hu brought his son and accompanied Yang Chen and others throughout the filming.

  Especially in terms of safety, Boss Hu personally went on the field and confirmed it time and time again. He was more concerned than Wu Yusen and others.

  It’s not good if you don’t care, if something happens to Yang Chen, this little fresh meat, he can’t afford to sell himself.

   The sixty-six-story building, the villain's five-member group, apart from Yang Chen and the speeding expert, Guan Zhilin, Liang Jiahui, and Andy Lau, all of them couldn't help shaking their legs.

   It is more than 200 meters high. Fortunately, there is no wind today, otherwise the shooting would be impossible.

   Playing this kind of game is usually enough. If you play too much, you will inevitably have a heart attack.

   For this shooting, Guan Zhilin, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Andy Lau have been overcoming their fear of heights since they received the script.

  However, at a height of more than 200 meters, his legs are shaking, and he wants to go to the toilet without drinking water. This is the portrayal of Liang Jiahui and Liu Dehua.

   "How about it, can it be done?" Yang Chen patted Guan Zhilin on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.

   Guan Zhilin shook his head and did not speak.

  Although they were shot jumping down, they were not really like in the movie, they just fell head-to-head.

The height of    is more than 200 meters, the danger is too great, Yang Chen can't really end it like that, he can only use the one that is used, and the special effects will handle it later.

   However, at a height of 200 meters, even if you don’t jump down suddenly and put it down slowly, it’s quite scary, and most people don’t have such a big heart.

   "Everyone try to go through it again and try not to lose the chain. After one pass, everyone will get off work and rest early, and obviously go to HSBC to shoot."

  The plot of the original new police story bank is too simple. A few people hit the glass and opened the safe door by themselves.

  If the bank safe is like this, who would dare to deposit money in the bank?

   Therefore, Yang Chen changed the plot of the bank anew. Taking advantage of the fact that HSBC was about to be demolished and rebuilt, Yang Chen personally called and contacted Shen Daban.

   Borrow the bank to make a scene for him.

   If it were other times, no matter how big Yang Chen's face was, the Taipan Wang would not agree. After all, the bank needs to keep secrets, so it is impossible to lend it to outsiders to film and expose internal secrets.

   But Yang Chen is lucky, there is no one in the old HSBC building now, the building can be demolished and rebuilt at any time, and it won't take long to borrow Yang Chen to make a movie.

Today, the HSBC Bank Building is the third generation, and it is the tallest building in Hong Kong where it was built. However, over the past few decades, the old HSBC Bank Building cannot even fit into the skyscrapers. This is why Daban Shen wants to rebuild the HSBC Building. s reason.

  Central is the most densely populated area of ​​Heung Kong Buildings. Generally speaking, if you want to use other people's buildings to film, and the target is a bank, this is obviously wishful thinking.

   In the past life, Brother Long made a new police story, and the reason why he omitted this point is probably because he could not find a suitable bank. Therefore, the process is not detailed.

   Now Yang Chen has directly borrowed the leading bank in Xiangjiang and the building of HSBC to film, Wu Yusen and the others have nothing else to say except to be convinced.

  Although HSBC is going to tear it down and rebuild it, but Wu Yusen and the others will contact them, let alone borrowing, it is still a question whether the Taipan Wang will take care of them.

   Delay in construction, with HSBC's annual profit, tens of millions in minutes, how much money can you take out at one time?

   Now Yang Chen didn't give a dime, and they didn't say anything. The reconstruction work was postponed, and there was no hesitation at all. This made Wu Yusen and others have to say "convinced" in their hearts.
