1979 Golden Age

The so-called left and right were not distinguished after coming to Hong Kong, but existed before coming to Hong Kong.

At that time, a large number of filmmakers from the mainland went south, and one of them was called Zhang Shankun.

In 1943, the Wang Puppet Government set up a "China Film Joint Stock Company", and Zhang Shankun served as deputy general manager and director of the production department. At that time, the Kuomintang was orthodox, and the Wang Puppet Government was just a Wang Puppet Government, so he was regarded as a traitor.

Later he fled to Hong Kong.

After coming to Hong Kong, he formed a "Hong Kong and Kowloon Film and Drama Free Association" with several filmmakers.

The superior organization of the Free Association is the "Taiwan News Bureau", which is responsible for all literary and artistic affairs of the Kuomintang in Hong Kong, that is, the right wing.

To this day, any Hong Kong film that wants to be released in Taiwan must abide by four principles:

1. All contacts with the left are prohibited, which goes without saying.

2. If a movie wants to enter Taiwan, it must first be reviewed by the Free Association. Only if the Association says it is passed can it be passed.

3. Directors and actors must register with the Free Association, become members, and pay membership fees every year.

4. Some military entertainment and art performances organized by the General Assembly must be participated in unconditionally.

Taiwan has a population of 20 million and is the largest market for Hong Kong films. It is conceivable how powerful and influential the General Assembly is.

As mentioned in the previous article, 99% of Hong Kong filmmakers have no stance, only the market.

For example, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Liu Dehua have all been to Kinmen to entertain the troops. Liu Dehua also performed a ceremonial drill in front of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and it was very beautiful.

There are also Liang Chaowei, Zeng Zhiwei, and Ti Lung, who have all filmed military education films in Taiwan.

In 1988, a film "Eight Stars Announcement" was released in Taiwan. The film's main creators: Du Qifeng, Zhou Runfa, Zheng Yuling, Huang Baiming, Zhang Xueyou, Zhong Chuhong, etc., gathered at the mausoleum to pay their respects.

Zheng Yuling laughed out loud at the time.

Because this matter itself is very funny, what feelings can they have for Comrade Jianfeng? It's all for the market.

Hong Kong films were so pretentious back then, so later when facing the mainland market, they were both upright and self-righteous, making money while being sarcastic. It’s still the same two words, asking for trouble!

…………

Freedom General Association.

Tong Yuejuan is Zhang Shankun’s widow. She was elected president of the General Association in 1973 and was also a member of the “Taiwan Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission” until 1993, and then immigrated to Canada.

She used to be a popular female star in Shanghai, and was known as the four sisters of the film industry together with Ruan Lingyu and others.

She is 67 years old this year, and she still likes to wear cheongsam. Her permed and dyed curly hair is black and shiny, her makeup is exquisite, and she wears a jade necklace of unknown value on her neck. She holds a cup of coffee in her left hand and a copy of Wenhui Daily in her right hand.

"President, how should this matter be handled?"

"What do you think?"

Jiang Fengqi thought for a moment and said, "Cinema City has always been on good terms with us and will never suddenly do something inappropriate. I think it's better to find out the truth first."

He is from Taiwan's Central Motion Picture Corporation. Yes, there is also a Central Motion Picture Corporation in Taiwan. He has just been transferred to the Freedom Association and is Tong Yuejuan's assistant.

Tong Yuejuan thought this young man was good, capable and visionary, but too young, and rigid in his work. He needed to be taught. She said slowly: "Loyalty to the party and the country is not absolute, but absolutely disloyal.

We are the ones who support Xinyicheng in distributing movies in Taiwan. They received the favor, but they secretly hooked up with the leftists and even met. This photo can't be fake, right?

If we let it go lightly, who will listen to us in the future!"

"What do you mean?"

"You go there in person, admonish them in person, punish them severely, and ask them to write a letter of guarantee that they will never do it again!"

"How to punish them?"

"Go, they know what to do."

Jiang Fengqi went out a little confused, but he just followed orders.

The company was supported by all the filmmakers in Hong Kong, and their food and clothing were luxurious, not to mention cars. He drove to Xinyicheng Company.

Mai Jia and others were studying this matter when they heard a report: "Boss, the people from the Freedom Association are here!"

"They are faster than anyone else in this matter!"

"Just do what we just discussed!"

Mai Jia said angrily, and looked at Shi Tian and Huang Baiming. Huang Baiming slipped out first, and he and Shi Tian stood up to greet him.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

"Boss Mai, Boss Shi... Where's Boss Huang?"

"He has something to do and happens to be away. Please take a seat!"

"Forget it, I won't sit down!"

Jiang Fengqi waved his hand, stood still, and said directly: "You are so bold now. Do you think that the company has developed, so you dare to violate principles, waver in your position, and don't take us and 'President Jiang' seriously?"

"How dare we? We were also deceived and fell into their trap!"

Mai Jia hurriedly explained.

"No need to talk about these things. You did it, met, and were photographed.

Even if you fell into the trap, it only proves that you are brainless and have loopholes in your thinking! Otherwise, why would you agree to meet? You must have the mentality of taking advantage of opportunities! Since the establishment of Xinyicheng, the General Association has taken good care of you. Several movies have been sent to Taiwan, with remarkable achievements, and you have also grown stronger.

This is the kindness of the General Association, the kindness of the Party and the country. If you dare to be indecisive, you know the consequences!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"We admit our mistakes, our loyalty is exemplary, and we will never make the same mistake again!"

Mai Jia and Shi Tian lowered their eyebrows and bowed their hands. They did not have the demeanor of movie bosses at all.

"The General Conference is very indignant about this matter and ordered Xinyi City to collectively guarantee and write a document to express its repentance..."

Write a letter of guarantee!

99% of Hong Kong filmmakers have written about it these days, and Mai Jia promised repeatedly. At this moment, Huang Baiming hurried back, carrying a small exquisite suitcase in his hand.

Mai Jia took it, offered it to him with his own hands, and said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Jiang, we made a mistake, and we deeply feel that we should not have done so. This is our sincerity to the association as a token of our sincerity!"

Jiang Fengqi had never come into contact with this before, so she casually opened it and took a look, then quickly buttoned it up.

He wanted to refuse sternly, but for some reason, there was another voice in his head that was telling him, "Take it, take it," everyone is like this!

"..."

He struggled for two seconds, then took the box in his hand and said, "Remember to write a letter of guarantee. For the sake of your sincerity, I will put in a good word for you to the president."

"sure!"

After sending Jiang Fengqi away, the three of them took a sip together, what the hell!

Mai Jia asked: "How much did you take?"

Huang Baiming made a gesture.

"Why is it one hundred thousand more than usual?" Shi Tian said.

"I'm afraid something will happen! It's always right to give more money."

"You paid too much this time. How much will we have to pay during the Double Ten Festival? How much money does the company make?"

"Then what do you say, I do it for everyone's good!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing!"

Shi Tian stopped the two of them. In fact, the two of them had no intention of quarreling. They were just extremely depressed. What kind of nonsense is this? Give away a piece of money for nothing, and more.

All the year round, my wife is so worldly.
