1979 Golden Age

The ten members of the "Tai Chi" group are all celebrating the Chinese New Year outside for the first time.

The leftists arranged a Spring Festival dinner, and they had a good meal and a lot of food, but they didn’t have much thought. Under Chen Qi's advice, everyone was as busy as dogs and really couldn't care about the Spring Festival.

As the movie gained momentum, some exclusive interviews followed. No one was good at talking, but Chen Qi continued to talk nonsense.

"I have been in the studio all year round, and have been exposed to some Hong Kong movies, and I know more or less about them. Jackie Chan is good, he is in his own way, and he has a promising future... What? You said he went to Hollywood? "Cannonball Run"?

Wow, when you hear this bad name, you will jump into the street. The arrogant Americans cannot let a Chinese play freely. They still have to recognize their own basic base and focus on Asia first, and then Europe and the United States. "

"Sammo Hung can be chubby. He is the most flexible fat man in Hong Kong, right? I've been busy these days and watched a lot of Hong Kong movies. I watched "Ghost Fighter" and it was pretty good."

"I heard that there is a new wave force in Hong Kong. I think Tsui Hark and Ann Hui are very good. Tsui Hark dares to think and shoot, and has his own lens aesthetics, so he will become a great success. The female director Xu Anhua is also very fierce. I think she does realistic themes It will be great.”

"I specially bought a ticket to watch "Modern Bodyguard". Although I couldn't understand Cantonese, the movie was good to watch. I felt that Xu Guanwen had a kind of aloof beauty, and intellectual people look down on you rough guys."

If Chen Qi were from Hong Kong, he would be PKed by real people in minutes.

If you run into a black society, you can be beaten, shot, or filled with cement to sink the pond.

As a 20-year-old junior, what qualifications does he have to point fingers at his seniors? But he happened to be a mainlander, and he was sent by the government to participate in the event. Damn, this is disgusting to the locals.

In the end, he did not let Master Liu Jialiang go.

"I watched "The Elders", what should I say? Hong Kong action movies are all advancing with the times. Only Master Liu is still sticking to the old rules. He may be more conservative and doesn't care much about the progress and development of the world.

An old master who lives and immerses himself in the past era and feels the sunset of the past era.

By the way, didn’t you say before that you would make friends through your works?

I heard that the box office of "Elders" was only over 3 million in 14 days, and "Tai Chi" was 3 million in 3 days. Oh, now it is 4 million in 4 days. I am so ashamed! "

Liu Jialiang is an old man who is very popular. He likes to call himself a martial arts master. He doesn’t like this or that. Everyone has to listen to me. I am the authentic Nanquan - along with Hong Jiaban, Cheng Jiaban and Yuan Jiaban. The relationship is not very good.

He had made a film "North and South Shaolin", in which the original cast of "Shaolin Temple" starred. He was very discriminatory towards the mainland. For example, when he had to shoot the sunrise scene the next day, he asked the mainland actors to wait on the set at three in the morning.

After waiting for 7 hours, Liu Jialiang came slowly and said that he had overslept. Then I filmed for a while and called it a day. The reason was that I missed the best sunrise shot, so I wouldn’t shoot today.

This kind of bad thing is done often.

He was very popular in the 1970s and early 1980s. When Hong Kong Kung Fu movies turned to flying and escaping, he couldn't keep up. Only "Drunken Master 2" is a classic.

Chen Qipeng, a veteran, had no one to support him except the people from the Liu family class. It was a miracle that he got into this position.

Liu Jialiang was furious, but the facts were before his eyes. "The Elders" just didn't work. Not to mention "Tai Chi" defeated "The Elders", the average daily box office maintained a clear lead over "Modern Bodyguard", and catching up was not a problem.

This time, our colleagues in Hong Kong were also surprised.

…………

Night, restaurant.

Sammo Hung and several brothers had just finished watching "Tai Chi" and came over for a late-night snack and a meeting to study.

Don’t think that Hong Kong’s martial arts practitioners are all rough and tumble. They often watch their opponents’ scenes and then figure out how to make them more powerful... You jumped from the second floor, I jumped from the third floor, and my body was still on fire. More stupid than you, that's all.

But today is a little different. His head seems to be sparkling, and he has the title of "the most flexible fat man in Hong Kong". The brothers want to laugh when they see it.

"Street boy!"

"If you tell me that, I will deal with him sooner or later!"

Sammo Hung was also very depressed. Chen Qi wanted to scold him, but he didn't scold him. He even praised him, but it was nothing big or small.

"The filming of "Tai Chi" is indeed good. It's not exaggerated, but we can't learn it."

"Why can't you learn?"

"Wow, look at that Li Lianlian fight, who of us can beat him? You or me, Zhengying, can you do it?"

"Neither can I!"

Lin Zhengying shook his head and said: "He was trained by the mainland's sports system and specializes in this kind of martial arts. We have never practiced it and cannot imitate him."

Wu Ma said: "I think the style of "Ghost Fighting" is okay. Yuan Jiaban's "Qi Men Dun Jia" did so well at the box office. Can we make another similar movie?"

"This is a good idea, and that's what I have in mind."

Sammo Hung nodded and said: "When I have the opportunity, I will talk to Mr. Zou and come up with a script."

"Brother Sanmao, why not ask that boy named Chen to write it?" Zhong Fa said deliberately.

"What a crazy person! There is no one in Hong Kong, so I'm looking for a mainlander? Don't let me see him, I'm going to deal with him!"

Sammo Hung slapped the table.

…………

Jiahe.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were also chatting.

He Guanchang is one of the founders of Jiahe, the core of the company, and Jackie Chan's godfather.

"I see that Li Lianlian is very talented. Can you clear the way and sign him over?"

"I checked, his identity is related to, uh..."

Ho Kuan-chang could not find a suitable adjective and said, "Anyway, he was trained by the government, and his identity and relationship are all with the government. We can't do anything about it."

"It's a pity that such a good talent cannot be used by me, forget it!"

Zhou Wenhuai shook his head and said, "Aaron is going to the United States to develop. "Cannonball Run" will be released in a few months. Pay attention to the publicity."

"Understood!"

Jackie Chan went to the United States in the past two years. Last year, he starred in "The Killer Trench", which received a terrible reputation. This year, he starred in "Cannonball Run", which was still terrible. In fact, the box office of these two films was okay, but they completely lost his own characteristics, and movie fans were extremely dissatisfied.

After the failure of his two films, he realized that he had to take root in Hong Kong and radiate Asia first. It was not until the 1990s "Rumble in the Bronx" that he finally became famous in Hollywood.

…………

"Good!"

In the Leftist Theater, Tsui Hark wore a hat and came to watch stealthily. He applauded when he saw the wonderful parts.

"Tai Chi" is too much to his taste!

The martial arts design, natural landscape, era background, family and country feelings... are all elements that he likes, but there is no beautiful female star in lesbian relationship, which is a bit regrettable.

Tsui Hark has finished filming "Butterfly Change", "Hell Without a Door", and "The First Type of Danger", and joined Cinema City. This year, "The Ghost Story" will be released. The box office of this movie will be very good, but it is not what he likes, just to make a living.

What he really likes are immortals, demons, gods and ghosts, people in the rivers and lakes, national enemies and family feuds, and female stars in lesbian relationship...

After the movie ended, Tsui Hark walked out of the theater reluctantly and remembered two names, one is naturally Li Lianjie, and the other is Chen Qi. Because he has also seen "Wrong Turn" and likes the strong cult style of the movie very much.

"I didn't expect that the film talents in the mainland are so powerful!"

"How can we find a way to cooperate?"

(No more...)
