1979 Golden Age

Chapter 269: Hong Kong Riots

Hongkong.

In Cheng Long's mansion, he slammed a newspaper to the ground, stepped on it twice, and cursed: "Nonsense! I let you talk nonsense! You just rushed to the street, and your whole family rushed to the street!"

The big shoe print is close to an article, which is an analysis of the performance of this year's Spring Festival. This year, the four major forces have all appeared, and each has been released in their own theaters. The years are quiet:

The first is Shaw Brothers' "Eighteen Martial Arts", directed by Liu Jialiang, with a box office of 7 million, and the forecast target is around 9 million.

The leftist "Shaolin Temple" is still very popular, but it has not been able to catch up with "Tai Chi". The current box office is 13 million, and the forecast is around 15 million.

Golden Harvest's "The Young Master" came with great momentum, but in the end, the box office was only 8 million, and it is expected to exceed 10 million.

New Arts City's "The Best Partner" is a hit, with box office sales exceeding 20 million, and attendance is still strong. The number of moviegoers is expected to break Hong Kong's historical record. This achievement finally made Xinyi City proud, and it exceeded everyone's expectations... Oh no! Except for that guy.

"Cheng Long has gone out of style. He keeps making Kung Fu movies from the Republic of China. The routines are not updated. The content is the same and the audience is tired of it."

"He was on the street in Hollywood, thinking he could become a big shot when he returned to Hong Kong, but he ended up on the street too!"

Every word was like a knife, piercing into Cheng Long's heart. He was extremely irritable and wanted to find some wine. Suddenly he heard the sound of squeezing behind him, and Lin Fengjiao came over wearing a beautiful pair of pajamas.

She hugged his neck from behind and said softly: "Why, are you unhappy?"

"The newspaper just made it up, I'm a little angry!"

"Hong Kong newspapers are like this. You should be more familiar with them than me. Don't be as knowledgeable as them."

"This time is different..."

Cheng Long didn't like talking to women about work, so he patted her face and said, "You can go back tomorrow. I should be busy."

"I came all the way to see you, and you're going to drive them away? I don't ask you to stay with me longer, I just ask you to be happy. I want to see you smile..."

Lin Fengjiao acted coquettishly and was extremely tender, which actually made him feel better.

The two met last year and got along not long after they met, but Lin Fengjiao knew that she was just one of his girlfriends. Unlike other women, she had a plan, and her plan was to have children.

Cheng Long said in his biography: "I had many girlfriends at that time, and I was choosing who was the best. Then I accidentally got a small house (Jaycee Chan) and actually didn't want to get married. It was like I was forced to marry……"

It was this year that Lin Fengjiao would retire from the film industry and marry him secretly. Then at the end of the year, Jaycee Chan would be born.

late at night.

Cheng Long walked out of the bedroom, still unable to sleep, and still wanted to drink some wine.

He sat on the sofa, opened a bottle of wine, poured himself a glass of wine, and then picked up the newspaper to read. He had personally watched these films, and "Eighteen Martial Arts" was still Liu Jialiang's show-off. The fighting scenes in "Shaolin Temple" are very weak.

"The Best Partner" really surprised me. I didn't expect that Hong Kong could already produce such a commercial film with a relatively complete structure, rich elements, and strong viewing pleasure.

He had only seen this kind of film in Hollywood before.

Then he thought of that guy again, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Even if he is deceived, he can't be so accurate. If he says "Master Dragon" is ten million, it will be ten million, and if "The Best Partner" explodes, it will explode? I heard that the mainland likes to study special functions. Could it be that he is really Is he a strange person who came to Hong Kong to unite?"

The more Cheng Long thought about it, the more outrageous it became, and the more outrageous it became, the more it made sense.

Hong Kong people are superstitious!

These days, the reputation of Thailand's White Dragon King has not spread to Hong Kong, but Cheng Long has also asked many masters to calculate, and they are all just words shrouded in mist. How can Chen Qi be so accurate?

"What else did he say?"

Cheng Long thought about it, oh, and also said that it would be better for Shaw Brothers to close its doors and focus on developing TVB. He said that Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers would not be able to compete with New Art City even if they teamed up. He also said that there would not be a foreign language film in the top ten this year!

"He also asked me to go to the left. How could I go to the left..."

Cheng Long's mind was a little quick, and he thought to himself: But there's no harm in meeting and chatting.

…………

Clearwater Bay studio.

"Running to the Angry Sea" is about to be completed, and some of the materials have already started to be processed in post-production.

In the office, Xia Meng and Xu Anhua were silent. They went to Hainan and Guangdong to shoot. It was going well, but somehow the news leaked and was exposed by the Hong Kong media.

Is it okay to go to mainland China to film a movie?

Freedom always angers!

Taiwan Information Bureau is furious!

It is said that the matter will be investigated thoroughly.

Xia Meng was very confident in this film and did not want to make it imperfect. He pondered for a long time and said: "Director Xu, although some of my words may sound a bit selfish, I still feel that I need to talk to you about it."

"..."

Xu Anhua looked up at her.

"The Freedom Federation prohibits Hong Kong filmmakers from contacting us, and will ban them once they are discovered. But the ban is false, and the blackmail is real. The company pays the money, and the actors write letters of repentance, and it is over.

"Running to the Angry Sea" has become known to everyone, so of course they can't blackmail me, they can only force you to make various promises.

Anyway, "Into the Wrath" won't be sold in Taiwan. You and I have high expectations for this film. At this point, you might as well just ignore them, go into battle under your real name, complete the film, and make it a film and television classic. "

"..."

Xu Anhua thought about it seriously and said with a smile: "I make literary films, and there is no market for it. I don't care!"

"Then we have an agreement?"

"I definitely speak from the bottom of my heart!"

Both of them laughed, Xia Meng breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Anhua was the soul, she was there in the movie. But Xu Anhua also asked: "What about the actors?"

"I'll go talk to them and finish the film anyway."

After Xia Meng finished speaking, he went out and moved to another room.

Lin Zixiang, Miao Qianren, and Liu Dehua were waiting. They all looked depressed. When they saw Xia Meng come in, they all stood up. After all, they were seniors.

"Sit down!"

Xia Meng waved his hand and spoke proactively: "The matter is over, I won't embarrass you. You have a contract with me, please be sure to complete the last part of the scene. I have no control over what you do next."

"Thank you for your understanding!"

"Thanks!"

"Then can we go back to the company to discuss it first? Everyone is in a hurry."

"Can!"

After a brief chat, the three people immediately returned to TVB.

Yes, they are all from TVB. Lin Zixiang first worked at Jiayi TV Station. Jiayi TV Station closed down and jumped to TVB. Miao Qianren participated in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant and later joined TVB.

Liu Dehua has already signed a formal contract when he came back, and it's also with TVB.

The three people hurried back to the company, and what they were greeted with was a scolding: "I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and you three heroes are in trouble! And the newspaper that rushed to the street, where did it dig up the news? Why did you get the news?" Caught! Now, everyone knows, Taiwan knows, and all of Hong Kong knows!”

"..."

It’s okay for Andy Lau to be a newcomer, but the other two felt a little aggrieved. When they went out to take the film, they definitely had to talk to the company, and the company agreed. But now something happened, and they were scolded.

"Isn't it enough to just write a letter of repentance?" Miao Qian said.

"The nature of this time is different. I will take you to the headquarters immediately to test the attitude first!"

(No more!

July has passed. This month’s update is almost the same as last month. My waist is going to be broken. I have to rest tomorrow...)
