Jiang Fengqi returned to the headquarters and met Tong Yuejuan.
He was honest and handed the box over directly. Tong Yuejuan opened it in front of him and knew the approximate amount with a quick scan. She picked up two piles and threw them over, saying: "This is your hard work!"
"Yes, President!"
After all, Jiang Fengqi was new here, so she was a little panicked and asked in a low voice: "It's still not possible. Is it appropriate for me to take it?"
"If you don't take it, how can I get it? If I don't take it, how can the Information Bureau get it? If the Information Bureau doesn't take it, how can you and I make progress?"
Tong Yuejuan’s sincere teachings: “It is a troubled time, the Communist Party has established diplomatic relations with the United States, the international situation is tense, and Taiwan’s pressure has doubled. As the president of the General Assembly and a member of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee, I shoulder the responsibility of the cultural united front.
The funds allocated every year are limited, but the expenses of the association are getting bigger and bigger. Hong Kong movies are prospering year by year, and stars emerge in large numbers. These are the targets of our united front. Without funds, how can we carry out our work?
The left wing is gaining momentum again, and a film called "Tai Chi" dominates the championship. The Information Bureau is very dissatisfied. I have organized people to prepare a work praising the Thai and Burmese lone soldiers to fight against it. All of it will cost money!
So I’m not collecting money from them, I’m using their money to run party-state affairs!”
By the way, this work that praises the lonely soldiers of Thailand and Burma was originally called "Foreign Land". It was written by Bo Yang, the same one who wrote "The Ugly Chinese". It was not filmed that year and was postponed until 1990.
After saying this, Jiang Fengqi felt much better. She picked up the two piles of money as if it was hot to her hands and said, "Then, then..."
"This is not a big deal. As my assistant, you will have a lot of experience in the future, so go ahead!"
"good!"
Jiang Fengqi went out.
Tong Yuejuan put the box away, read Wenhui Po again, crumpled it into a ball and threw it in the wastebasket.
Of course she knew that New Art City was unjustly accused, but the Information Bureau looked down upon the leftists and treated leftists like snakes and scorpions. She helped New Art City explain herself and it was reasonable for her to receive some hard-earned money. What was there to say?
…………
The words are divided into two parts.
The casting process for "Orphans" is still going on, and parents come with their children from time to time. Unfortunately, most of them have mediocre qualifications.
On this day, several more young girls were welcomed to the Clear Water Bay studio.
Still trying one by one, Chen Qi was a little absent-minded because he always held a piece of information in his hand and was looking forward to seeing real people. Finally it was the fourth group's turn. A girl with unusually thick and fluffy hair that seemed to cover her entire head entered.
Come.
"My name is Qiu Shuzhen. I am 13 years old. I like singing and dancing. I have no acting experience."
She has a slim figure and good proportions, and her legs exposed outside the skirt are very beautiful.
Although she is young, she already shows some characteristics of a sexy wildcat, with big eyes, small rabbit teeth, baby fat on her face, her chin has not been repaired, and her whole face is a bit round.
(There are very few photos of Qiu Shuzhen when she was a child, so I managed to find one with a not very good look. This should be her appearance when she was sixteen or seventeen years old, so I’ll give it a try)
"What grade are you in?"
"Just started middle school."
"How's your academic performance?"
"Uh, not so good."
Qiu Shuzhen lowered her head, a little timidly.
Her parents are both Cantonese, and they went south to Hong Kong to prospect for gold. She originally wanted to be a boss, but ended up being a worker. She was the fifth in the family with many children, and her parents were particularly burdened. She didn't study well, and she went out to work after graduating from middle school...
After asking a few questions, Chen Qi asked her to dance and drove her out.
"I think it's good. When you put on makeup, you should have the contrast of a child pretending to be an adult and deliberately trying to seduce men."
"Let's make some choices first, and we'll talk about it after the training."
Fu Qi also feels that Qiu Shuzhen has high potential. Anyone who is not blind can see this. Women are still in the minority, and female stars have been outstanding since they were young.
After quickly looking at all the people, Fu Qi was very happy. He suddenly found three good prospects, Yuan Jieying, Zhu Yin, and Qiu Shuzhen, and asked: "Has New Art City agreed to lend Tsui Hark?"
"Not yet, maybe it's not strong enough."
Chen Qi packed up, stood up and said with a smile: "If I go to the newspaper office again, I will have to let that bald guy and that four-eyed guy take the initiative to beg me!"
…………
On the set of "Best Partner".
Affected by this incident, Xinyi City felt as if it had been covered in shit. It was disgusting and aggrieved, and there was no way to vent. Maijia learned a lesson, no matter what he did, he must get a leftist newspaper every day.
"Has Wen Wei Po been delivered? Wen Wei Po!"
"Where's the Ta Kung Pao? There isn't one either? Please hurry up, do you know the matter is urgent?"
“The newsstands don’t sell it yet, just wait!”
In the early morning of that day, the crew started working before dawn. As soon as the wheat crops arrived, they started clamoring to read the newspapers. Unfortunately, they hadn't been delivered yet, so they had to film first.
Xu Guanjie is also here today, so he naturally knows about this matter, and he doesn't want to get involved in it at all, so he doesn't even mention it.
The Hui brothers are the most loyal promoters of Hong Kong's local culture. Xu Guanwen's Cantonese films and Xu Guanjie's Cantonese songs have directly improved the status of Cantonese to a certain extent - Cantonese songs could not be on the stage before, and singing English songs is the most fashionable...
"Click!"
Zeng Zhiwei shouted, and Mai Jia left the show and hurriedly said: "Is the newspaper delivered now? Bring it to me!"
"..."
When Mai Jia saw how everyone was beeping, he was frightened. He grabbed the newspaper and took a look. The grandson started beeping again. This time he didn't even bother to take a photo:
"Mai Jia is from Taishan, Guangdong, and Huang Baiming is from Heshan, Guangdong. We Chinese regard ancestor worship as a top priority. They told me without reservation how they miss their homeland. Their parents have been in Hong Kong for many years, but they have not been back to pay homage to their ancestors for many years.
Going to graves and burning paper feels deeply unfilial.
The love was so deep that I couldn't help but burst into tears, and I was also moved by it.
So I have made an appointment with two of them, and I must go back to worship my ancestors, see my hometown, and see the motherland in the new era..."
"Death-Fat Plague!"
Mai Jia threw the newspaper and yelled: "Damn the mainland boy, are you going to kill us?"
“Boss boss!”
At this moment, someone hurried over and gasped: "The company wants you to go back, the people from the Liberty Association are here again!"
"I!"
Mai Jia's defense was deeply broken, and he wanted to curse a few times, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He just kicked the props like crazy and waved his fists, looking like he was going crazy.
…………
"You haven't handed in the letter of guarantee yet, but something happened again? Even if you meet people from mainland China in Hong Kong, you still want to go to the mainland? Do you know how to write the word "death"? Are you begging us to ban you?!"
"What an injustice! What a huge injustice! Mr. Jiang!"
"We really have no intention of going to the mainland. Hong Kong is so good, why would we go to the mainland? Please say a few kind words, thank you very much!"
After only two days, Jiang Fengqi came back to Xinyi City. She was already a veteran. She could carry back a box of money without changing her expression. She was still cursing in her heart: No wonder everyone is rushing to come, Hong Kong people's money is so profitable!
After he left, Mai Jia said decisively: "We can't go on like this, we will be blackmailed completely by the federation, please Zhang Aijia!"
Zhang Aijia is also the star of "The Best Partner". She is Taiwanese and comes from a prominent family. Her maternal grandfather happened to be the director of the Information Bureau, so she is a professional counterpart.
"That will cost money. Even if she doesn't want it, she still has to spend money to help settle the matter."
"Give it, what else will you do?"
“What about the left?”
"Let's make an appointment with the big boss to meet again and ask him to be kind and stop messing with us!"
Mai Jia felt that his bald head had turned blue and black. His Yintang turned black, so his Tianling Gai turned black.
The leftists are causing trouble. The Federation only knows how to blackmail. You can bypass the Federation and find the Information Bureau. That will also cost money. Who can you afford to offend?
Not to mention New Arts City, when Shaw Brothers was at its peak, it had to lick the rightists in order to be released in Taiwan, but Run Run Shaw had great influence and had more room for bargaining.
No matter how awesome he is like Cheng Long, shouldn't he just go to Kinmen to work in the army?
They thought they had joined the rightists, but in fact they just spent money to buy a temporary ID card. Everyone is just trying to make money. If they don't make money, are they still doing it for the party and the state?
(No more today...
