1979 Golden Age

Also in April, a major event happened internationally.

Argentina was caught in crazy inflation and long-term strikes, and the people were suffering from the military government's rule. President Galtieri was very smart and thought that he could win a clean war to divert public attention.

He chose the Falklands.

Britain was not doing well at this time. Thatcher was in power and carried out drastic reforms, which made the people of old London also complain.

Before the war, the two sides conducted unenthusiastic diplomatic mediation, and then Argentina officially sent troops. The war lasted from April to June, with a total of thousands of deaths and less than 2,000 injuries.

Argentina was defeated.

Thatcher was originally shaky, but his reputation was full all of a sudden, and he came to Beijing to discuss the Hong Kong issue with the power of the Falklands victory, but this is a story for later.

…………

Gia He.

The TV news reported the situation of the Falklands War, and the commentators analyzed it clearly. Zou Wenhuai listened to the news with one ear and listened to Hong Jinbao's stories with the other ear.

"Along and I have decided to work together. We will not make a Republican drama, but an urban drama. It must have kung fu, fast cars, solving crimes, funny things, and beautiful women. We will also get a few stars to help out and make it an all-star fashion action comedy!"

"All-star fashion action comedy?"

Zhou Wenhuai heard that the title was quite intimidating and asked, "Along, what do you think?"

"Me too, I don't want to make a Republican drama anymore!" Cheng Long said.

"Cinema City has won the box office championship, and "Best Partner" is indeed amazing. It's time for us to respond, but why do you have this idea?" Zou Wenhuai was curious.

"..."

The two looked at each other and decided to tell the truth. Hong Jinbao said, "It was Chen Qi who talked to us."

"He helped you formulate the project?!!"

"Yes, Mr. Zou, we talked about this last time we met. Along and I studied it and had a preliminary idea. And he wants to join forces to fight against Cinema City. He said he wants to tear down Cinema City!"

Hong Jinbao explained it quickly.

Zou Wenhuai's face changed, and he asked, "How to dismantle Cinema City, tell me exactly what happened!"

So, Hong Jinbao told him the content of the conversation that night, including consulting Shaw Brothers, poaching people from Cinema City to form an all-star lineup, preparing to sow discord, etc.

Finally, he said, "Mr. Zou, A-Long and I think this model has great potential, and we can give it a try. We already have a story outline, and it will be a good script after some improvement."

"..."

Zou Wenhuai tapped the table with his fingers, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter. After thinking about it, it seemed that there was no harm to Golden Harvest. He was just a little surprised that the two generals from the mainland who contacted him privately were actually for this.

After weighing it for a moment, he said decisively, "I support your filming. Cinema City is so arrogant as a latecomer, and we must beat it down!"

"I'm afraid that if Cinema City is beaten down, the left will rise again?" Ho Kuan-chang interrupted.

"Do we have the final say on whether the left will rise or not?"

Zhou Wenhuai glanced at the TV news and sighed, "These people have the final say. Now Britain and Argentina are at war, and the mainland is negotiating with Britain. We are just making movies. Can it really compare to national affairs?"

"Didn't Jin Yong bring back news that Hong Kong remains unchanged?"

"Who knows the details?"

Zhou Wenhuai didn't want to discuss these annoying issues. He talked to the two in detail and affirmed the concept of the so-called "all-star fashion action comedy".

After finalizing the matters, Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao left the company.

Cheng Long returned to his mansion.

This house is in Repulse Bay, a traditional wealthy area in Hong Kong. When he bought it, he consulted a Feng Shui master. Later, he sold the house and made a net profit of 30 million.

Most Hong Kong stars speculate in real estate. They became famous early and made money quickly. They bought houses and waited for appreciation. They made ten times the profit by reselling them because Hong Kong's housing prices are too stable, even more fierce than those in the mainland.

Cheng Long returned home, opened the door, and found a pair of women's shoes at the door.

Lin Fengjiao poked her head out and smiled, "You're back? I made something delicious, just in time for you to try it."

"Why are you here again?"

"Oh, I missed you! I'll go get you something to eat."

Lin Fengjiao didn't care about his attitude, she was just gentle and well-behaved, and Cheng Long couldn't say anything.

After chatting for a while, he went to do his own work, while Lin Fengjiao cleaned up the housework, touching her belly from time to time, wanting to say something but stopping. She really wanted to tell him that she was pregnant, but she was afraid of being forced to abort, so she had to endure it.

When the fetus grows up, it would be best if it can be checked to be a boy, then tell Cheng Long.

"He will definitely want a boy..."

Lin Fengjiao didn't know that someone had predicted the secrets of the world, so she just whispered to her belly, "You should work harder, let your father keep you, so that your mother can also have a name."

Over there.

Cheng Long was working out while thinking about the movie.

In terms of specific implementation, he and Hong Jinbao had a slight disagreement. Who should be the main focus of the all-star movie? If there are two main characters, the effect may not be good. If one is the main character and the other is the secondary character, who is the main character and who is the secondary character?

In order to avoid conflicts, the two initially planned to make two films, one with Sammo Hung as the main character and the other with Cheng Long as the main character, to help each other.

So what should I shoot?

Cheng Long thought about it and thought about the Falklands War, which involved Britain and was of great concern to the whole of Hong Kong.

Chen Qi said that his Kung Fu films of the Republic of China were not big in scope and had a narrow vision. They could only make trivial pictures of hippie smiling faces, and they had to make big stories. What is a big story? Fighting is a small story, fighting is a big story.

To fight a war, you have to have a big background.

Guns, cannons, the conflict between two forces...

Cheng Long paused and suddenly had some inspiration. He was ready to talk to Chen Qi again, but it was a pity that the guy had returned to the mainland.

…………

Film set, studio.

The filming of "The Endless Love between Humans and Ghosts" continues.

This scene is about Zhong Chuhong finally believing that Liu Dehua's soul is alive and letting the goddess Xiao Fangfang enter the house. She can't wait to talk to her lover, and Xiao Fangfang helps to explain it, which makes her impatient.

"Okay, okay! Stop being so nauseous and think about how a poor woman who has been single for 35 years feels."

Xiao Fangfang's acting was both crazy and natural. She lay down on the sofa, stretched out and closed her eyes: "Come on, get on top of me!"

"Are you sure?" Liu Dehua was surprised.

"Just think that I am doing some good for you, this pair of crazy men and resentful women. Come on, don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower!"

It is set in the play that the ghost will cause a certain amount of damage to the goddess, and it will take a long time to recover.

Liu Dehua made a gesture and pounced on her. He would use special effects later to get on top of her.

"Click!"

"OK! Next game!"

Once the male protagonist is on top, he can use the body of the goddess to talk to the female protagonist. The processing method here will directly show the scene of the male and female protagonists embracing each other tightly.

But in fact, it was the goddess and the heroine hugging each other tightly.

Both scenes have to be shot. When the audience is moved, a sudden switch will produce unexpected comedy effects.

So Tsui Hark became excited again.

"Sister Fangfang, stretch out your hands, slowly hold her hands, and then gently touch her face!"

"Hold on tighter!"

"Sister Fangfang, you are tall, you should hug her like a man. Ah Hong, you are a little more affectionate and intoxicated..."

There is no cure for Lily Man!

If the two of them weren't incompatible, if they were like Brigitte Lin and Wang Zuxian, he could make them kiss each other directly.

"Well...well..."

Zhong Chuhong felt weird holding a woman in her arms and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Xiao Fangfang noticed something and had rich experience. He held her waist tightly with one hand and buried her head on his shoulder with the other hand, helping to cover up a few things to avoid wasting film and being scolded by the director.

This action made her want to laugh even more. Zhong Chuhong buried her face and trembled with difficulty.

From Tsui Hark's perspective, he thought he was crying and praised: "Ah Hong has made great progress and looks like an actor."

"Click!"

"OK, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Chuhong covered his mouth, waving his hands while holding back, but still burst into laughter. Tsui Hark's face darkened, he wanted to get angry but forget it, the effect was pretty good anyway.

She laughed even louder when she saw that the director didn't curse.

At this moment, a man quietly walked into the studio and stood next to the camera.

"Mr. Chen!"

Liu Dehua was the first to notice and said hello, and then everyone saw "Mr. Chen" and "Mr. Chen" one after another...

"When did you come back?" Tsui Hark was also surprised.

"I just arrived today. I came to the set right away..."

Chen Qi waved to everyone, greeted them one by one, and finally stood in front of Zhong Chuhong: "Why are you laughing so loudly and are you so happy to see me back?"

"That's weird! I'm filming, what does it have to do with you!"

Zhong Chuhong looked at him, then suppressed his smile and snorted softly.
