1979 Golden Age

"Click!"

"OK, let's go!"

"Everyone, take a break, it's time to eat!"

Tsui Hark shouted, and Qiu Shuzhen ran over happily, leaned directly next to Chen Qi, like a puppy just asking for a pat on the head, and said: "Master, how am I doing? Am I getting better and better?"

"Thirty minutes!"

"Why is it only 30 points? You didn't even pass?"

"Marlon Brando only scored 85 points with me. You are far behind."

“Who is Marlon Brando?”

"Godfather!"

Tsui Hark wandered over and said with a smile: "Archie, have you accepted her as your apprentice?"

"No, she screamed on her own."

"What nonsense? You obviously agreed!"

Chen Qi saw that she was about to explode and said with a smile: "Let's chat and eat by ourselves."

"oh!"

Qiu Shuzhen pouted and went to get the lunch box obediently.

Tsui Hark glanced at her and said: "Zhen has a good talent, but she has little experience. With more training, she will become a star. I heard that Great Wall signed her in advance?"

"Yes, she is from the left. No one should rob her of her. How about you? Do you want to come over?"

"Hey, filming is all about filming, don't talk about political affairs!"

Tsui Hark didn't want to talk about this topic. Chen Qi said with a smile: "This is not called political affairs, this is called serious business. I have already said that Xinyi City is unevenly distributed. The three giants are the big bosses. Those who have shares, you The seven-member team looks nice, but they are just high-level wage earners.”

"we are brothers!"

"Brothers have to settle accounts openly. If you ask them for shares, will they still treat you as a brother?"

Chen Qi pointedly poached and said: "Xinyi City is too commercialized, you can't stay here. Come on, leftists, although we also want to make money, we support you in making one movie that makes money, and another one that doesn't. movie of.

You have no pursuit of box office, but do you still care about the Taiwan market?

If you are afraid that you will not be able to sell well in Hong Kong, well, the "Orphan" in front of you is an example. Let's go to the United States to make a career together. "

"Going to the United States?"

Tsui Hark was startled when he heard this, was silent for a moment, and then shook his head: "I don't agree with some of your political views, and I won't join you. But to be honest, I think you are a good person, and maybe one day my mind will change." .

Forget it, don’t talk about this.

The two Americans you found are great. They are very professional. Although they don't communicate with us very much in private, their performances are very accurate and they can always achieve the effect I want. If you want to sell this film to the United States, I wish you good luck in advance. "

After Tsui Hark finished speaking, he left, a bit like running away.

Chen Qi smiled. He came to Hong Kong not only to make films, but also to cause trouble. Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers had the deepest roots, while New Arts City had the least.

Tsang Chi Wai values ​​profit, Tsui Hark values ​​creative freedom. After Tsui Hark leaves, Shi Nansheng will definitely follow. Teddy Robin is more Buddhist. There is also a conflict of interest between Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, but it is not exposed.

He wants to dismantle Xinyi City within two years and let it disband early.

…………

Finding a good director is a hugely profitable thing. With Tsui Hark around, Chen Qi is much more relaxed and can just keep an eye on key places.

On this day, he was watching in the studio when he was suddenly called out by Fu Qi.

"Xia Meng is here!"

"Something happened?"

"She established a company called Jade Bird, and after two years of planning, she is finally going to make a start-up film. Didn't we meet Xu Anhua when we went to Berlin?"

"Oh, you mean "Running to the Angry Sea"?" Chen Qi remembered.

"Yes, the director is Xu Anhua, and the starring role has been confirmed. Xia Meng will bring someone to take a look. He may want to borrow the studio here."

The two went up to the main administrative building and arrived at a reception room. Xia Meng and Xu Anhua were there, plus the three leading actors.

Chen Qi recognized him at first glance. He was a middle-aged man with a mustache whose age was unclear. His name was Lin Zixiang. He had never been young or old. He had been middle-aged since his debut.

One is a very ancient actress named Miao Qianren.

The last one is very familiar. Liu Dehua, who has just turned 20, has short hair, dark skin, and a green face.

When the two parties met, it was mainly Xia Meng and Fu Qi who were talking. During the torrent, Xia Meng ran to Canada to protect herself, but Fu Qi had always had a problem with her. But times have changed, and it doesn’t matter anymore.

"Our outdoor scenes were filmed in Hainan and Zhanjiang. We have already contacted the local areas and the troops will support us."

"How big is it?"

"Twenty thousand troops, six to seven hundred extras, and tanks on the streets."

Xia Meng said so calmly that Liu Dehua was already speechless.

"Into the Angry Sea" tells the story of the turmoil in Vietnam. It has a special background. Naturally, it requires the participation of soldiers to achieve the desired effect.

Chow Run-fa was originally chosen for this drama, but Chow Run-fa did not dare to offend the Liberty Federation, so he declined, and then he recommended Andy Lau. Andy Lau is still in the TVB training class and has been a bit player in several dramas.

Why did he dare to accept it?

Because Zhou Runfa told him that you are a newcomer and it doesn’t matter the market. The most important thing is to have a movie to film.

So it happened, the crew secretly went to the mainland to film, and Xu Anhua also used a pseudonym. As a result, the filming was exposed by the Hong Kong media. Freedom will always be angry, and cooperation with the left is not allowed, let alone filming in mainland China?

Xu Anhua is a fierce person, so he doesn't even use a pseudonym and goes into battle under his real name.

And Andy Lau, Lin Zixiang and others have all written letters of repentance...

"How many months will you be filming?"

"About four months, the first three months on location, the last month in the studio, can you switch?" Xia Meng asked.

"Of course, we have fewer scenes now, not like when you were here." Fu Qi said.

Xia Meng was embarrassed.

She was actually not wrong, but facing a real fighter, her heart was a little complicated.

Chen Qi had already pulled Liu Dehua to chat, saying: "I've seen your play, you play a bandit, with your brother, and you died as soon as you appeared on the stage."

"Haha, "Wushuang Pu", right? I and Liang Jiahui are together."

"That man is called Liang Jiahui, you two are good, both have potential."

"He is much better than me, he has been to college, and his understanding of the role is great..."

Liu Dehua chatted carefully, he knew that the young man in front of him was very powerful, no matter the box office of "Tai Chi", or the leftist identity, or the open criticism of the Hong Kong film industry, he was not someone he could mess with.

His family is very poor, there are many children, he did not graduate from high school, and he worked in a factory, and his personality is very precocious.

He was not called this name before, but Liu Furong, which fits the family environment he was born in.

"Okay, let's say goodbye!"

After Xia Meng finished talking with Fu Qi, she stood up and said goodbye. Liu Dehua nodded to Chen Qi and followed him out.

Chen Qi started to think again.

He divided Hong Kong stars into several categories. One category is Liang Jiahui, Wang Mingquan, Xu Xiaoming.

One category is Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, Chen Baixiang, although they have defected to Taiwan for the market, but after returning to the mainland, they are also honest and do not make trouble, so they can be used.

There is another category, which is to kill them directly.

"To the Wrath of the Sea" will be exposed, and it will make him join Liangshan, ah bah... make him join the left?"

(No more...

"Catching Dolls" is stable, you can watch it or not, you can go and take a look if you are bored.)
