In March of this year, a lot of things happened.
For example, U.S. President Ronald Reagan mentioned in a speech: "We are studying a strategic defense plan!"
Nuclear energy, X-ray lasers, excimer lasers with space-based reflectors, neutral particle beam weapons, all kinds of unknown power, the media called it the "Star Wars Project"! Later, the documents were declassified, saying this It was a scam, in order to bring down the Soviet Union. Of course, the United States itself would not admit it.
?????
In later generations, there will be no Star Wars, but we launched an intercontinental missile, flew 12,000 kilometers, and accurately landed in the predetermined sea area. The United States said: "It was notified in advance. This is a good thing!" Again.
The 1st TV Golden Eagle Awards was also held in Kunming in March.
I won’t go into details about the awards. In short, this means that the proportion of TV dramas has further increased. TV sets have become more and more popular and will soon begin to compete with movies for audiences. In Hong Kong, not only do reporters run fast, but they also lift cars fast.
In the morning, Chen Qi sat in the back seat of a brand-new Wanshide. He bumped his butt twice from time to time, feeling the comfort of the seat below. He asked: "Xiao Mo, how is it driving?" "Not bad, better than the Gundam." .And this car has strong power and runs fast, let’s try it?”
"Farewell, stay safe. Don't even try it in private. If something happens, it will affect your image."
After all, Chen Qi still felt that Xiao Mo had speeded up and arrived at the set faster than before. When he arrived at the gate, the security guard stopped him: "This can't be casual... Hey, Mr. Chen? Have you changed cars?" Yes, I just changed it!"
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll record the license plate."
The security guard wrote down the license plate number and waved to let him go. He drove in and parked under the main building. Chen Qi, wearing a casual suit, got out of the car seriously, finally feeling like a cadre. "Archie!"
Shi Nansheng ran out first, opened his arms and hugged him: "I saw the right person, when are the wedding drinks going to be held?" "Keep everything simple, don't expect too much!"
"You have to show simplicity, it may only happen once in your life... Hey, how about you show it in both places? Mainland China can't handle it, but Hong Kong can handle it. We all go to congratulate you. It's okay for Andy to sing a song. Right?" "No, it's too high-profile."
"Is this illegal?"
If I really do that, what will happen to me? Nansheng, your ideas are not in place and you still need to learn." Chen Qi shook his head.
The future President Xu liked this style of music. He went to celebrate Zhong Zhentao's birthdays, and Xu Xiaofeng held a singing club. He was there to support her, just like Te Niang, a high-ranking member of the Republic of China.
The two went upstairs talking. No matter what happened, Shi Nansheng showed great enthusiasm for the matter. She and Tsui Hark only got married in 1996. One was 46 and the other was 45. They divorced in 2014. Chen Qijin arrived In my office, I brewed a cup of coffee and waited for the film dealer to come to my door.
Those from Europe and the United States will arrive tomorrow, and today we will be with film producers from East and Southeast Asia, mainly talking about "The Love of Ghosts". It will be about nine o'clock in the morning.
The first customer arrived, Shinji Nakamura from Japan's Toho Company, who was also an old customer. He bought the first two "Tai Chi" books and offered a very generous price. This time he took the initiative to make an appointment with Chen Qi, and he was still very polite after arriving.
"Mr. Chen, long time no see!"
"It's been a long time, how are you?" "Not so good!"
Shinji Nakamura looked frustrated and got straight to the point: "I'm really sorry that your "Life is Beautiful" became famous in Berlin. I should have congratulated you. But you know the nature of this film and it has already been spread back to China. I am here to explain it to you.
, our company will no longer enter into any commercial cooperation with your company, please forgive me."
""
Chen Qi was silent for a moment. It was not unexpected, but this was the worse result he had expected. He asked: "Is it like this for you, or for all Japanese companies?" "I don't know about other companies!"
"Okay, I understand, thank you for making the trip!" "I'm causing you trouble!"
Nakamura Shinji bowed with a slap and then left.
Afterwards, Chen Qilu met several customers one after another. They were very interested in "The Love Between Ghosts and Ghosts". However, the market for sex is too small, and the price is always low. The prices were in the tens of thousands. They were also interested in "Beautiful Life".
Not big. Although it won the Golden Bear Award, the Golden Bear Award is not attractive to others. I only wanted to see it because of the anti-Japanese content inside.
After most of the day, Chen Qi felt that all he earned was small change. The last customer was from Korea.
""The Love of Ghosts" is simply great. I watched it twice and still can't get enough of it. The male lead in it is very appealing to our audience, and the female lead is even more charming, but it is not a kung fu movie after all. Kung fu movies are the most popular in our country.
Attraction is the strongest.
Mr. Chen, we are all old friends. How about 300,000 US dollars? In addition, we are also very interested in "Life is Beautiful"..." "Oh?"
"I was fortunate enough to watch it in Berlin. The depiction of the Japanese in it was chilling. Our country also has a tragic history of being invaded by Japan. I believe the audience will resonate with it. I am also willing to pay 300,000 US dollars for two films.
How about it?" Two films, $600,000.
Now the Hong Kong dollar has plummeted against the US dollar, which is equivalent to more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Tai Chi 1" sold for 300,000, and "Tai Chi 2" sold for 600,000. That's because Koreans really like Tai Chi so much that they are willing to pay high prices. "Deal!"
Chen Qi thought for a moment and then nodded. The other party was also very happy and stood up to shake hands: "The movies you produce are always refreshing and full of surprises. I hope we can establish a long-term friendship!" After sending him away, Chen Qi sat in the office.
A quick calculation: "The Last Love" sold for 500,000 US dollars, and "Beautiful Life" sold for 450,000 US dollars.
These two are not kung fu movies, they have psychological expectations, and the Japanese film studio's revenge has a significant effect. The loss of a big buyer will directly affect the subsequent "Tai Chi 3" and "Happy Ghost". European and American film producers will arrive tomorrow, and that will be "
A major customer of "Beautiful Life".
But Chen Qi still felt uncomfortable.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hello? Zhuang Cheng, how much funds do you have over there?"
"It's only enough for daily operations. The extra funds were invested in "Two Wives in a House". However, "The Love in Seven Days" did well at the box office and should be able to bring back several million dollars." "If you make another movie this year,
I’ll give you the outline of the story tomorrow.”
"What type?" "Zombie movie!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qi snorted. Fortunately, I opened the trumpet early to prevent unexpected situations.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, except for Cheng Long, Li Lianlian and Yuan Biao, who could sell box office in Japan just by looking at their faces, any other stars or Hong Kong films were like nothing in the Japanese market.
The only exception is zombies.
Because some countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia have a lot in common with Chinese culture, especially this culture of gods and ghosts, there is no barrier to understanding, you can understand it just by watching it. He is worried about what new movies to film this year!
Chapter completed!
