Before Lin Zixuan came, he inquired about Zheng Zhengqiu's character and past experience.

He knew that this person supported the new culture. Although he liked Peking Opera, he did not exclude foreign literature. He also rehearsed Shakespeare's plays. He was a patriot who pursued progress in his thoughts.

Unlike Zhang Shichuan, he cannot impress such people with benefits, but can only serve his preferences.

Therefore, he prepared the story of "Tianmen Hero Huo Yuanjia" and wrote the lyrics of "The Great Wall Never Fall".

Looking at Zheng Zhengqiu's excited appearance, Lin Zixuan knew that there should be no problem.

Of course, he did not want to fool Zheng Zhengqiu, but he did want to make a movie about Huo Yuanjia.

First of all, this is an action movie, which will be very marketable, at least not lose money.

Moreover, Huo Yuanjia is very influential in the country, and even Sun Zhongshan praised him. The Jingwu Gymnastics he created will grow stronger and have a far-reaching impact.

Filming Huo Yuanjia is also a film that promotes the spirit of martial arts and national self-esteem, which is a completely positive energy movie.

What Lin Zixuan gave Zheng Zhengqiu was not a complete script, but just some stories about Huo Yuanjia.

Huo Yuanjia was weak when he was young and could not practice martial arts, but he secretly learned martial arts by himself. Then he searched for famous teachers everywhere and exchanged skills. Later, he competed with Russian strong men in Tianjin, causing a sensation in Tianjin.

In Shanghai, we had a fight with the British strongman, exchanged ideas with the Japanese martial arts club, created a martial arts gymnastics club, guessing that we died in the end, etc.

These stories are connected together to make a very legendary movie.

However, before filming, it is necessary to obtain the consent of Huo Yuanjia's family and the Jingwu Sports Association, especially in terms of scripts.

This is respect for patriotic martial artists.

Jingwu Sports will be a huge organization and the backstage is tough. If you dare not shoot Huo Yuanjia's movie without passing through their permission, they will teach you how to be a human being in minutes.

On July 7, 1910, the China Jingwu Gymnastics Association was officially established, with the site located in Wangjiazhai west of Dangqiao, Zhabei.

Huo Yuanjia personally taught boxing, and his disciple Liu Zhensheng and later Zhao Hanjie, Chen Qimei and Nong Jinsun also often came to guide him.

The first batch of 73 students adopted the traditional martial arts teaching method, and taught boxing with masters and apprentices.

After Huo Yuanjia's death, in order to inherit Huo Yuanjia's last wish, a group of backbone students, Chen Gongzhe, Lu Weichang, Yao Chanbo and others discussed the plan to revive Jingwu.

On March 3, 1911, the Jingwu Gymnastics Association moved to the former site of the Chinese Volunteer Team of the Wanguo Business Group. It has two practice rooms, a library, dormitory, and a photography room, called the Second Club.

After that, Chen Gongzhe generously presented 2 acres of residential land at No. 73 Peikaier Road, Tilanqiao, and everyone raised funds to start construction of the Xinhui House.

On April 6, 1916, he moved to Xinhuishe and changed his name to "Shanghai Jingwu Sports Club".

From 1910 to 1920, the association grew to more than 1,100 members in ten years, and branches were established across the country.

On July 3, 1920, at the invitation of overseas Chinese, the Shanghai Jingwu Association sent five core members to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia and other countries and regions to promote the martial arts cause of the Jingwu Sports Association and assist in the establishment of the association.

In Jingwu history, it was called the "Five Envoys to Southeast Asia".

At its peak, there were 42 domestic and foreign branches and more than 400,000 members.

Lin Zixuan dares not offend such an organization easily.

What's more, in 1919, when the Jingwu Sports Association held a commemoration of the tenth anniversary of its establishment in Shanghai, Sun Zhongshan wrote a plaque "Shangwu Spirit" inscribed by himself, and served as the honorary president of the association. He also wrote a preface for the association's special issue "The Record of Jingwu".

In fact, Jingwu Sports Association has a deep relationship with the Shanghai business community, and many businessmen will sponsor Jingwu Sports Association.

The students of the Jingwu Sports Association have complex components. They cannot just learn martial arts, but also make a living. Being a bodyguard for wealthy businessmen is a good way out. Some patriotic businessmen have students of the Jingwu Sports Association around them.

The Lin family is also related to the Jingwu Sports Association, which gives Lin Zixuan confidence to convince the head of the Jingwu Sports Association.

What he wants to make is an action film, not an art film, it will not involve Huo Yuanjia's private life, nor will it explore the inner world of the characters. What he needs is inspiration and passion. The film will not have any dark side of the protagonist, but will only promote the national spirit.

According to later generations, he is the "glorious and upright" male protagonist.

In this era, such national heroes are needed, and there is no need to look for the shortcomings of heroes.

I believe that Jingwu Sports will have no reason to refuse such a script, and the actor who plays Huo Yuanjia is best to play real kung fu, so that he can spread the mystery through the movie.

This requires the cooperation of Jingwu Sports Association to select actors from it. It would be even better if Huo Yuanjia's descendants were starring.

At this time, Huo Yuanjia's second son Huo Dongge presided over the Jingwu Sports Association. He was invited to teach at the Guangdong Jingwu Branch in 1920. He was twenty-five years old at the time.

After Zheng Zhengqiu finished reading the manuscript, Lin Zixuan talked about his thoughts to him, which made Zheng Zhengqiu very excited.

If Huo Dongge could really play Huo Yuanjia, this movie would have extraordinary significance. He would be honored to be able to participate in the shooting of this movie.

Lin Zixuan knew that things were done, so he solemnly invited Zheng Zhengqiu to join his film company to create a new era for Chinese films.

Zheng Zhengqiu agreed happily.

So far, Lin Zixuan's film company is still an empty shell, but Zheng Zhengqiu has connections in this area and his financial support is a perfect match.

Zheng Zhengqiu recommended Zhou Jianyun to Lin Zixuan, who has the ability to do business and is very good at running a company.

Lin Zixuan asked Zhou Jianyun to be the manager of the film company and be responsible for the company's operations, and Zheng Zhengqiu is the artistic director, responsible for the filming of the company's filming, and also set up an artist department to prepare for the contract for actors.

However, at the suggestion of Zheng Zhengqiu, he planned to set up a performing arts school to train actors by himself.

What Lin Zixuan wanted to establish was not a family-style small company like Du Yu, but a professional film company.

Only such a company can survive the fierce competition in the future, otherwise it will only fall into the fate of bankruptcy or being annexed by other companies.

The three of them were discussing eagerly in a small editorial room, and the prototype of a film company was formed.

Lin Zixuan invested 20,000 yuan, accounting for 90% of the company's share, while Zheng Zhengqiu and Zhou Jianyun each accounted for 5% of the company. This is considered to be a stake in technology and talent.

Of which, 5,000 yuan is used to purchase shooting equipment, 5,000 yuan is used to establish a performing arts school, 5,000 yuan is used to rent a house, recruit other staff, and the company's daily operating expenses, and the remaining 5,000 yuan is used to shoot the company's first movie.
