1979 Golden Age

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

A Gundam car was parked steadily downstairs of the Chuangchuang Building. It was borrowed from Fu Qi. Xiao Geng acted as the driver and Xiao Mo sat in the back with him.

Needless to say, these two are full of professional skills. Hong Kong is a right-hand drive car. After a few days of practice, they easily mastered it and even memorized the map. Chen Qi was greatly impressed, and because of this fate, "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai" will use you two as the prototypes!

"Let's go upstairs!"

Xiao Geng stayed in the car, while Chen Qi took Xiao Mo up to room 606.

"Hello sir, do you have an appointment?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Mai!"

He lived in Hengdian in his previous life and met many employees from Hong Kong. He had learned Cantonese and his speaking skills were not very standard, so he was able to communicate. As soon as the girl at the front desk looked at him, she decided that he was the person the boss had specially mentioned.

"Sorry, the boss is busy today and is not in the company."

"Is Shi Tian here?"

"Not here either!"

"Isn't Huang Baiming here too?"

"What a coincidence. All three bosses are busy today. Do you have any message for me to convey to you?"

"Oh, forget it..."

After he finished speaking, he pretended to leave, but suddenly turned around and pretended to rush in. The front desk was frightened and quickly blocked it with his body. Chen Qi was happy and nodded: "Don't be nervous, I'll come back another day."

Seeing that he really left, the receptionist quickly ran inside and knocked on the office door: "Boss, that man is gone!"

"What did he say?"

"No, I just asked if you were there and said I would come back another day."

"Okay, you go first!"

Mai Jia scratched his bald head, what on earth does this guy do? I hope he just got interested and wanted to take a look.

In the elevator.

Chen Qi looked at Xiao Mo and smiled: "In the situation just now, if I forcefully break in, can you protect me from going in?"

"It should be possible. I think those people are ordinary employees and have little fighting ability."

"So powerful? How many can you hit by yourself?"

"It's okay to face three or four with bare hands. If you want to fight against someone, you'd better give me a military spur. Xiao Geng and I can lead you out of a street..." Xiao Mo was full of confidence.

Chen Qi felt that he was bragging, but he didn't have military thorns anyway.

After going downstairs and getting in the car, Geng started up the Gundam and asked, "Brother Qi, where are we going?"

"Go to the newspaper office. Uncle Fu Qi introduced me to a reporter. I'll go and get to know him."

…………

It was a calm day.

One day later, Mai Jia came to the company as usual, took a stack of fresh newspapers into his office, made a cup of coffee, and read through them slowly.

"The Ghostly Stars" produced by New Art City was released in July. It was released yesterday and grossed 7.47 million at the box office, ranking third in the year. The second place is still Jiahe's "Modern Bodyguard" and the first place is "Tai Chi". "Standing like a mountain, I don't know when the record will be broken..."

"snort!"

"When "Best Partner" comes out, it will definitely be broken!"

Mai Jia curled her lips and was very confident in this drama. "The Best Partner" was based on 007, which was localized and starred by Xu Guanjie, Sylvia Chang and himself.

And this play is very interesting. In the version released in Hong Kong, he speaks Taishan dialect, and in the version released in Taiwan, he speaks Shandong dialect... There are many Shandong people in Taiwan.

As for "Ghosts and Horses", the director is none other than Tsui Hark.

Mai Jia knew that Tsui Hark came from the New Wave, was avant-garde and bold, and liked to make weird movies. But since he entered New Art City, he had to obey the rules of New Art City. Movies have to make money, so what kind of avant-garde art is this?

He continued to flip through the newspapers, and finally turned to Wenhui Po and Ta Kung Pao.

These two are the leading left-wing newspapers. Today they published a piece of news together, which was an interview with Chen Qi:

"The prosperity of Hong Kong movies must be justified. I have always made objective evaluations. I praise the advantages and criticize the shortcomings. I am not deliberately targeting anyone... If mainland movies want to develop, they must learn from advanced experience. I hope to cooperate with New Art City , Jiahe, Shaw Brothers and other Hong Kong counterparts for cordial and friendly visits and exchanges..."

"What is he going to do!"

Mai Jia's heart skipped a beat again, and a very bad premonition came over him.

"boss!"

At this moment, the employee came in and reported: "That person sent another greeting card!"

As he spoke, he pushed a red letter forward.

The wheat crop was opened, and it was exactly the same as the previous seal, without changing a word. He stared at it for a long time, then got up to look for someone. When Shi Tian was not there, he went to find Huang Baiming.

"If you are worried, just meet him and ask him what his purpose is, so as not to have wild thoughts."

"Freedom will always know what to do?"

"Let's meet in private! Don't meet in the company, where there are so many people talking. Find a remote tea restaurant and just sit there for a while. There is no possibility of us cooperating with the leftists."

"Then let's meet?"

"See you, I'll go with you. He's sending letters one after another, as if he thinks he's some big shot, and I can't even stand it!"

…………

Another day passed.

The two of them found a very remote shop. Huang Baiming drank a glass of frozen lemon and joked: "When we meet later, are you going to call him gay? I heard that everyone is called gay over there."

"Wow, I came to Hong Kong in 1958 and my family moved to New York. I call this a ghost gay?"

"Then your faith is not firm!"

Huang Baiming shrugged.

After waiting for a while, the door was pushed open, and two young men came in. The leader was Chen Qi. He was wearing a decent suit, glasses, and no tie. He had his own style of dressing.

When Huang Baiming met Chen Qi for the first time, he felt that he had nothing to do with the mainland people. He said that he grew up in the United States and was pretty much the same.

He took the initiative to call "Mr. Chen" and then looked forward with interest to see how the other party would respond.

"Boss Mai! Boss Huang!"

"You two have admired each other for a long time!"

Huang Baiming raised his eyebrows, shook hands, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is so arrogant, which is a bit beyond my expectation."

"Oh? What do you want me to look like?"

"You look like a mainlander!"

"The mainland has opened up. Don't look at it with old eyes. Let's sit down and chat..."

Chen Qi smiled and the three of them took their seats. Mai Jia asked directly: "Mr. Chen, we have never been in contact, why do you want to meet?"

"To be honest, I have something to ask for. I told the newspaper that I was preparing a co-production with the Great Wall, but I couldn't find a suitable director. I heard that your company has a director named Tsui Hark, who has a unique style and bold techniques. , I want to ask him to direct it.”

"ha!"

Huang Baiming couldn't help being happy and shook his head: "Mr. Chen is a new arrival here. He doesn't seem to know how deep the water in Xiangjiang River is?"

"I know, so I asked Director Tsui Hark to participate under a pseudonym."

"A pseudonym?"

The two looked at each other and Mai Jia said: "Sorry, pseudonyms are not allowed. We do not accept any form of cooperation."

"This is just your opinion. Director Tsui Hark might be willing to do it?"

"It's impossible. We brothers advance and retreat together and have the same stance!"

"Yes, we don't want to have anything to do with you. We have already given you enough face by meeting in private today, so don't mention it again." Huang Baiming said.

"Is it really impossible to negotiate?"

"Don't waste time. Mr. Chen can order something to eat. We'll pay for this meal."

"..."

Chen Qi looked at them for a while, stood up slowly, and sighed: "Okay, I won't force it. I said some things in the newspaper that criticized your company, but to be honest, I still appreciate your ability very much.

Looking forward to our next meeting, Comrade Mai Jia! "

Mai Jia’s face turned green!

What's the meaning! What's the meaning!

He only came from the mainland when he was 14 years old, so he knew the weight of this title very well. In an instant, he felt like facing the purple, gold and red gourd of King Silver Horn, and felt the fear of having his soul taken away, and his heart suddenly lifted.

Looking again, the man had strode out of the door.
