Huang Zhan represents a part of the group in Hong Kong.
They love the traditional culture of the Chinese nation and are proud of the glorious and splendid history. They hope to retain some fine traditions while absorbing the advanced Western civilization-freedom and democracy.
Generally speaking, what they long for is an imaginary China.
Huang Ting didn't want to talk about political things with Chen Qi, so as not to ruin the scene, but the ancestral home was different. The ancestral home was a big deal and his mother must know about it.
????????????
But Chen Qi stopped talking about this matter. The two of them drank wine and brought the topic to "Beautiful Life". Huang Ting said: "Honestly speaking, your film is better than those of Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is creative and exciting.
"I have already taken revenge. Dongho announced that it will no longer buy my films. It doesn't matter, I still have a bigger market."
The anti-Japanese resistance in "Orphan" was still secretive, but the "Life is Beautiful" is aboveboard and the Japanese will not retaliate against you?"
"USA?"
"We will visit the United States in a while and promote "Life is Beautiful" by the way. Oh, by the way, my news has not been announced yet. This film has already sold 7.85 million US dollars! "
"Ahem!"
Even Huang Ting was shocked. At the current exchange rate, it was worth 50-60 million Hong Kong dollars!
"I have made a deal with 20th Century Fox and am preparing to compete for next year's Oscars."
Huang Ting was a little numb, and sighed for a while: "I understand where your confidence comes from. Hong Kong is full of people who work hard and are as happy as gods after earning a few million Hong Kong dollars... Oh, I am one of them, too." one!"
"Why don't you come over and do it together?"
"Ha, here you go again! Don't tell me this, I won't join, but your film is good, has character, and the style is rare in Hong Kong. If you ask me to write a song, I have no problem.
"Then it's settled, we'll ask you to write songs for our future movies, don't refuse!
"Everyone has to work hard for five buckets of rice in his life. I also want to make a living, and usually I will accept anyone who comes. But writing songs for good movies is like drinking wine, and writing songs for bad movies will make you suffer. Just speak up! "I feel a little more relaxed today.
Chen Qi has a good drinker, but he is always too lazy to drink.
When he was still drunk, he said again: "Uncle Ting, are you interested in being a judge?"
"What judges?"
"Singing Contest!"
"Oh, I've done this many times and it's no fun!"
Huang Ting was very disgusted and said: "ATV and TVB have done this, and record companies have also done it. They find a few people to sing, and we rate them. The good ones are promoted and the bad ones are eliminated. Do you want to have a singing competition?"
"I have this idea!"
"Then don't look for me, it's boring, unless you give me twice the reward!"
"This should be interesting to me, let's talk about it then."
The two drank for a long time, and the waiter who watched was secretly surprised that Lu Bo didn't call the public relations lady for the first time, and just chatted. Who is the mainlander? He seemed to be a bit superior. It was about ten o'clock.
Huang Ting still couldn't hold it back and said, "You really don't want to call me miss?"
"If you don't have enough fun, wait for me to leave and try again. I have to go back so late."
"It's still late at ten o'clock? I've been playing all night...Forget it, I'll ask Jinlan and the others to come!" Chen Qi didn't show any politeness, got up and walked away.
Huang Lu called someone. He, Cai Lam, and Ni Kuang were a fixed combination in the nightclub, and Jin Yong did not participate.
Among the so-called four great talents in Xiangjiang, Huang Lu wrote "Collected Works of Bu Wen", but his talent was more reflected in music. Ni Kuang wrote science fiction, Jin Yong wrote martial arts and ran newspapers, and Cai Lam wrote food and miscellaneous notes. He also wrote Du Laozhi.
Chen Qi found that he was indeed a special case. Du Laozhi's nightlife had just begun and he did not end so early. He was not pretending. He had a lot of sisters, so how could he see the dancing lady? Xiao Yang drove the car over and got in.
Prepare to leave.
Unexpectedly, the parking boy jumped out again and started making noises not far away. As soon as Xiao Mo opened the door and got out, the parking boy ran away again. Xiao Mo was depressed: "Why are he like a fly? He only disgusts people." "He doesn't."
Do it!" Xiao Yang added.
"It's easy to do it. This is the most disgusting thing."
"So, we have to spread the power of the security department across Hong Kong quickly, so that the people of Hong Kong can feel the warmth of a big family." Chen Qidao said. Xiao Mo was too lazy to continue and asked: "Brother Qi, what is the nature of Huang Lu now?"
"
"We can be considered friends!" "He is very important?" "0!"
After receiving confirmation from Chen Qi, Xiao Mo shut up.
Wan Shi De was driving on the streets late at night, and the space was a little larger than the Gundam. Chen Qi was comfortable sitting in the back, his thoughts swaying with the neon lights.
Oriental Company has already established a firm foothold in the film industry, and next they want to expand into the music market. Huang Lu has such a wide network of contacts. He is a godfather-level figure, and it is of great benefit to make friends. This also involves the United Front. For the 1983 Spring Festival Gala, they found a group of Hong Kong people.
In 1984, we had to find Taiwanese.
Taiwanese movie stars are not easy to work with, but musicians do have several goals. Chen Qi's "singing competition" is not only a show, he also wants to find a reason to invite certain people to Hong Kong, but he has to do so after returning from the United States. "
With black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin, you will always be the descendant of the dragon..."
Xiao Mo heard him suddenly humming a song and asked: "Brother Qi, what are you singing?" ""Descendants of the Dragon" is very nice. Go buy it and listen to it."
"If we classify them as mainland films, Hong Kong films, Taiwanese films, etc., it would be too narrow. "Life is Beautiful" represents the highest level of Chinese-language films today. Its creativity and expression will make the Hong Kong film industry feel ashamed!"
"It is a loss to the Academy that such a film cannot participate in the Academy Awards!"
"Huang Ting: Anti-Japanese and pro-American, the Chinese story has an American core, but it is still a classic, leading the way for ten years!"
"According to Oriental Company, the overseas copyright sales of "Life is Beautiful" have reached 7.85 million US dollars, surpassing "Orphan"!" ""Life is Beautiful" has confirmed its application for next year's Oscars, and 20th Century Fox has taken over North American promotions!"
In the next few days, most of the media had a positive attitude towards "Life is Beautiful". Those who run movie magazines and write columns are more or less literary youths. Don't underestimate Hong Kong's literary youth, they are just like this. Especially this one This film broke away from the Eighth Route Army's routine of fighting Japanese invaders and turned into their favorite Western narrative technique, which was even more praised.
Immediately afterwards, "Life is Beautiful" was officially released.
There are no additional rented theaters, there are 8 theaters in Yindu, and the attendance rate is actually good, surpassing "Orphan".
After a week, the box office exceeded 6 million. Previously, the highest box office of Hong Kong literary and artistic films was "Into the Angry Sea", which took 15 million. "Life is Beautiful" has great hope of surpassing it, but the upper limit will not be too outrageous. Given the nature of the film, Here, Cheng Long and others came here specially to watch, and it was very boring to watch.
Especially the younger guys, each one more uneducated than the last, can’t stand it at all. “It’s so boring, are you so good at boasting?”
"Literary films, you know nothing about literature and art!"
Hong Jinbao was also there and whispered: "Aaron, we were scratching our heads during the filming of "Plan A". Do you want to ask Mr. Chen for advice?" "No, they are going to the Oscars. We didn't even win Hong Kong. How are you messing around?"
"But you started working on this film last year, and now you haven't even finished half of it. How are you going to explain it to Mr. Zou?" "I'll explain it to Mr. Zou. You can't do it carelessly!"
Cheng Long has a strong self-esteem and is very determined.
"Plan A" breaks out of the past and tells the story of the Hong Kong marine police fighting pirates. It is rare that they put in the effort on the script. The story is relatively complete, with many funny scenes and elements of a serious drama. For this reason, they also went to Hong Kong as a group Collection of stories from the Water Police Force - that is, experiencing life in the mainland.
