The three big guys of New Art City
Huang Baiming, formerly known as Huang Baiming, changed his name to the reason he revealed that "I can't make a splash at a time, but there will always be one time in a hundred times." ”
He is a screenwriter, and in 1967, he wrote four works, "Hitchhiking", "Best Partner", "Why Me" and "A Lang's Story". The protagonists of all four works have won the Hong Kong Film Awards.

In 1979, Huang Baiming, Mai Jia and Shi Tian founded the "Struggle" film company. At that time, Mai Jia was originally studying electrical engineering in the United States, but he ran to Chinatown every day to watch Hong Kong films, and while watching them, he scolded "how the movie is so bad." "He is determined to be a big director and make decent Hong Kong films.
Shi Tian was born in Shaw Film Company, but he has always played supporting roles, and he is unwilling to want his acting skills to be buried.
So the three people hit it off, at the beginning of the establishment, because there was no money to hire stars, they had to write the script by Huang Baiming, while Mai Jia and Shi Tian acted, they shot a very meaningful movie "Salted Fish Turned Over" at that time, which sold well at the box office.
Later, their small company was favored by Boss Lei and made a large investment, which led to the new art city. Boss Ray gave them a 49 percent stake.

Later, Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Zeng Zhiwei, and Teddy Robin joined the New Art City and formed the Seven Heroes of the New Art City, sweeping the film world.

In 1982, they began to shoot "Best Partner", the original scheduled protagonist was Zhou Runfa to act, but he did not have a schedule, so Huang Baiming went to find Xu Guan's outstanding performance.
At that time, Xu Guanjie was a generation of singers, the idol of countless people, and his appearance in the movie was undoubtedly a guarantee of box office sales. But how do you convince him to take on a new company's films?

Huang Baiming gave full play to his screenwriting skills, and the "Best Partner" was told about the ceiling, and the heavens and the earth could do everything. And Xu Guanjie listened to him talk about the mountain, while eating chocolate, said that he could consider it. Finally, Huang Baiming whispered, "So, how to calculate the film remuneration?" Xu Guanjie said loudly, "Two million plus the share after the release of the movie." ”
People may not know much about the concept of 2 million plus in 1982, so let's say that at that time, Hong Kong's 1 million could make a movie, and 500,000 could buy a mansion.
Of course, when the movie was released, it caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and the exaggeration was that the cinema was lined up to shoot half a street at that time. The final box office was fixed at 27 million, breaking countless records, that was 1982.
