After Shaw Brothers was about to die, it was Yong Sheng who poached Wang Jing at a high price and made a movie called "The Magic Jade".
The box office was not too high, but they made money, so the Xiang brothers signed a long-term contract with Wang Jing and made films such as "Fine Covers Chasing Girls".
For Yongsheng to start off, the best move was to sign Wong Jing and recruit the four great kings, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Li Lianlian and Stephen Chow.
Now, Wang Jing has been arrested.
The two brothers were getting angry and said to Huasheng: "We have insufficient creative talents. We finally have the opportunity to recruit a director. It would be too much for the leftists to grab even this little resource!"
"When Shaw Brothers was at its peak, they didn't talk about occupying the whole of Hong Kong. Didn't the leftists leave no way for them to survive?" Xiang Huaqiang also asked.
"But I'm very surprised. Wang Jing can only be said to be excellent, but he is far from being called a great director. The leftists actually invest in his studio? We can't compare with this condition. I don't dare to open a studio for him."
"It's no use talking so much, what should we do now?"
The brothers were silent for a moment.
They have some rules when it comes to making movies. For example, in the 1990s, when Li Zhi lost money in business, Li Lianlian paid off her debts and signed a contract with Yong Sheng for 6 dramas in 3 years, with a total remuneration of 72 million, and half of it was paid in advance.
Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Tai were very good to Li Lianjie. Later, in order to praise their son Xiang Zuo, they made the epic-level bad movie "Legend of the Gods", and Li Lianjie also came to help.
"Should we?" Xiang Huaqiang raised his head.
"What's going on? We are making movies to make money. It would be fine if we could solve the problem through fighting and killing. But if we can't solve it now, we will still make a fuss." Xiang Huasheng sighed.
The impact of last year's turmoil is still there.
The leftists can't steal people, either overtly or covertly, and they have to hold back their displeasure.
But the Xiang brothers have brains and know how to change their stance, be tough when they should be hard, and be soft when they should be soft. They established China Star Entertainment in 1992, went to Shenzhen to build a studio in 1993, and successfully landed after 1997.
Look at the name, China Star!
No less than the Hongxing Street Committee.
"Dingle bell!"
"Dingle bell!"
At this moment, the phone rang. Xiang Huaqiang picked it up and answered it. He frowned and said, "Someone from Taiwan is here!"
"Um?"
"The Information Bureau sent someone here again to ask us to meet."
After the Jiangnan Incident ended, Taiwan's internal institutions made some adjustments and finally got some time to visit Hong Kong.
The person sent by the Information Bureau is called Sun Wenzhi.
But he came from an intelligence background. Due to the disastrous failure of the Information Bureau in Hong Kong's United Front and the Golden Horse Awards, he could no longer be trusted, so someone from the intelligence system was transferred. He was in his 50s and had an unremarkable appearance. On the second day after arriving in Hong Kong, he
We booked the banquet hall of a luxury hotel and invited friends from the literary and art circles.
At this moment, his face looked very ugly.
Because it was already the appointed time, there were only two or three kittens in the huge banquet hall, and three tables were sat sparsely. One of the tables was occupied by right-wing media colleagues.
"Tong Yuejuan's incompetence caused the loss of Hong Kong's position!"
"It really makes me heartbroken!"
He is the same as Tong Yuejuan, his speech is also in the style of the Republic of China, and his clothes are quite western style.
The suit is crisp and the leather shoes are shiny.
Xie Zhonghou, the head of the Hong Kong branch of the Central News Agency, accompanied him and heard the words: "Tong Yuejuan not only did not return to the island to plead guilty, but also dared to flee. She deserves to die! Now that my brother has taken office, he will definitely be able to turn the tide and regain the lost ground!"
"Don't dare, I still need your help!"
The two of them bowed their hands to each other. Xie Zhonghou was happy. He had always been afraid of taking over this mess. It would be easier to handle it when Sun Wenzhi took office.
After waiting for a while, no one came. Sun Wenzhi simply stood up and said, "No more, let's start!"
The two came on stage, and the scene was quiet. Xie Zhonghou made some opening remarks and introduced Sun Wenzhi ceremoniously. He took the microphone and scanned the people in the audience. He was very well prepared and knew most of them.
Shaw Brothers didn't come, Jiahe didn't come, Princess Jin came, Debao came, Yongsheng came, and there are several small companies.
Personally, Zhou Runfa is here, and Zhang Jianting is here—Zhang Jianting has become sworn in with the leftists.
He made two blockbuster films for Legendary Pictures, "The Seven Days of Love" and "Two Wives." He thought he would become a great director, but who knew this would be the result?
They had all cooperated with Legendary Pictures and were banned by Taiwan, but in their conscience, they did not join the Communist Party and felt that they were being wronged.
But Chen Qi doesn't think they are wronged. These people are carefully selected. For example, Zhang Jianting is an independent person.
"Welcome everyone, I am very pleased that so many people are coming, which shows that there is still a part of the Hong Kong entertainment industry that has not been confused by the left and is committed to the party-state."
Sun Wenzhi said a few polite words and immediately got to the point: "The Free Federation was interfered by the British Hong Kong government and cannot be rebuilt for the time being. I established a 'Guosheng' film distribution company to temporarily take over the responsibilities of the Federation in the name of the company."
Nothing in the regulations remains unchanged. Movies that want to be released in Taiwan must pass our review, and it is more stringent than before. I hope everyone understands! We have compiled a list of directors, actors, behind-the-scenes, etc., all of whom are trustworthy friends.
.
You can select people from the list to shoot, which will make the review easier. We also encourage everyone to go to Taiwan to set up productions, and the tax rebate benefits remain unchanged---The Golden Horse Awards will be held as usual this year, but registration for Hong Kong films will not be accepted for the time being."
He said a lot, very similar to what happened.
This so-called list was also distributed to everyone, and the one hanging at the top was a director named Zhu Yanping. This person is one of the few directors in Taiwan who can make commercial films, and his masterpiece is the "Oolong Yuan" series.
This is okay, the key point is that most of them are Taiwanese filmmakers, and they have a one-stop service from production to distribution.
In other words, Hong Kong companies invest money and find Taiwanese people to produce. This may protect the Taiwan market.
But the Hong Kong market cannot be guaranteed. They are here to make money from Taiwan, not to help Taiwan develop its film industry!
After Sun Wenzhi finished speaking, he had already started to toast from table to table.
Well, just three tables.
When it was Zhang Jianting's turn, he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Sun, can I join this list? We are all blackmailed by the left and don't know the true identity of Legendary Pictures. My heart has always been for Taiwan!"
"I have investigated your situation and it is indeed true."
Sun Wenzhi nodded and said, "But this matter needs to be done with caution. Only after some inspections can you be classified as friendly persons again."
"Then how to investigate?" Zhou Runfa also asked.
"It's simple! You have to show your enthusiasm, participate in activities, and cooperate with the filming of promotional films————"
puff!
Cen Jianxun was almost enjoying himself listening to it.
Is there any difference between this and freedom?
First of all, you have to give money! Once the money is in place, then you can attend the Double Ten cocktail party, go to Taiwan to work in the army, and shoot movies that smear the mainland. If you do this, you will be included in the list, and the movie can be released in Taiwan.
Chapter completed!
