1979 Golden Age

After Zhang Aijia finished speaking, she left first.

Mai Jia left Zeng Zhiwei behind to chat alone, with a look of sadness and unfulfilled ambition: "Well, a few years ago when New Art City was founded, the seven of us brothers and sisters were so high-spirited, vowing to seize the territory of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and create our own Your own time!

It was hard to gain a foothold this year, but those two people were so obsessed with it that they defected to the left.

Now that the company is in trouble, stability is the priority. We must complete this year's projects no matter what, otherwise there will be no films in the second half of the year or next year, and Boss Lei doesn't want to see this.

"Best Partner 2" is entrusted to you, and we are most at ease.

Please believe me, when this crisis passes, I will definitely not treat my brothers badly! "

"I understand! I understand!"

Zeng Zhiwei nodded like a big sweet potato, patted his chest and said: "I will definitely not vote for the left. If I come out to hang out, I will be righteous. I will definitely help the company tide over the difficulties."

Seeing this, Mai Jia felt a little calmer.

Mai Jia is a typical boss who thinks that everyone is a wage earner. When he started Xinyi City, Huang Baiming was introduced by someone else. He kept him because he liked Huang Baiming's hard work and lack of fuss.

Same goes for Eric Tsang.

The two have known each other for a long time. Mai Jia asked Zeng Zhiwei to play a small cameo role for free. Zeng Zhiwei didn't care about it and entered Xinyi City.

And at this moment.

Zeng Zhiwei left the office, went downstairs, stood on the street for a while, and suddenly cursed: "Street boy, think I'm stupid!"

He stopped a taxi: "Go to Jiahe!"

…………

Night, hotel.

There are round tables in the banquet hall, with 8 people sitting on each table. There is a table in front of it with a banner that reads: "Hong Kong and Kowloon Film and Theater Industry Free Federation Gala!"

Those present here are all representatives of Hong Kong companies, big and small, including Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, but New Art City was not invited this time.

Tong Yuejuan was wearing a cheongsam, with permed hair as high as a mountain, walking around the venue with a glass of wine, chatting a few words here and there, everyone had to smile at her, she was so majestic and completely different from the previous few days.

She had returned from Taiwan, had some blood of her own, and was scolded by the head of the Information Bureau named Song, but at least she kept her position - she was a famous actress in the old Shanghai period, and she had worked hard in Hong Kong early and was deeply rooted.

Although Tong Yuejuan is greedy for money, she is also somewhat capable.

The General Conference is scared this time, but it cannot admit it. It must treat it as a victory, and it must take immediate action to stabilize its position.

She socialized below, then slowly walked up to the stage, picked up the microphone and began to control the scene, smiling: "It's a beautiful night today. I'm lucky enough to have a drink and chat with all my brothers and sisters. It's really a joy in life!"

yue~

This group of people in Hong Kong can't stand it. Damn it, people from the Republic of China like to make comments! Are you just pretending to be a jackal?

"I want to say two things. The first one is that the 25th of next month is the Dragon Boat Festival. As usual, Kinmen will hold a labor party.

Artists from the company, some have been there, some have not. This year I want to form a large-scale labor force. As long as the artists are signed and have made movies, please send a representative. What do you think? "

"No problem!"

“Don’t dare to disobey President Tong’s words!”

"We will definitely support it!"

The warm atmosphere, positive responses, and a few flattering words made Tong Yuejuan happy. The frustrations of the past few days were swept away. After all, Xiangjiang is still Xiangjiang.

"Okay, okay! When I meet Director Song, I will convey to him the sincerity of the Hong Kong Film Industry to the party and the country."

"The second thing..."

Tong Yuejuan's face changed, and her words were sad: "We already know what happened to Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng, and I feel very, very sad. You know best what we are doing to New Art City. Who knew we would get such a result?

I hope that you will be cautious when facing cooperation with New Art City in the future. "

Huh?

What's the meaning?

The people below immediately began to think, there will always be a new art city?

"Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng will be added to the enemy list. We will compress them in various resources and attack their new film projects. We will let them know that there will be no good outcome if they vote to the left!"

"Yeah, it won't end well!"

"Let them play by themselves!"

"Can eight theaters still be able to rebel?"

Who doesn't know how to shout slogans? For a time, the crowd was excited and shared the same hatred and enemies. It was thought that the eighteen princes would form an alliance to attack the leftists.

…………

"Ugh!"

The next day, Tong Yuejuan woke up from her luxurious bedroom. She drank too much last night and had a headache.

But it's all worth it. She felt that the left's current attitude had changed, and she had to respond by narrowing the circle of encirclement, blocking resources, and trapping them in a small area.

Because she knows that the mainland’s film market is not open and leftists cannot make money from the mainland.

Taiwan can't enter either. Although it can be developed overseas, movies are an extremely risky industry. The success of "Tai Chi" does not mean that the next one will be successful. If making movies was so easy, everyone would come to make money.

I heard that the film sent to Cannes this time is a horror film, which is very confusing. When will Hong Kong horror films make it to Europe and the United States?

"Dingle bell!"

"Dingle bell!"

Suddenly, a rapid ringing of the phone shook the bedroom. Tong Yuejuan was startled, picked it up and said, "Hey...Jiang Fengqi, what's the matter?"

"President! Those people who went to Cannes are back. I saw the newspaper today that "Orphans" won a FIPRESCI Award."

"What prize?"

"The FIPRESCI Award, given by the Film Critics Association, has little weight."

"It's just a small prize. What are you going to do like your dead father?" Tong Yuejuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"No...they, they still sell movies..."

Jiang Fengqi's voice was trembling, and it reached Tong Yuejuan's ears through the phone: "They sold the two films "Tai Chi 2" and "Orphan's Revenge" for 10 million US dollars!"

"How many?!!!"

"Ten million dollars!"

"Jiang Fengqi, don't talk nonsense, this is impossible!" Tong Yuejuan was screaming.

"It was published in the newspaper that "Tai Chi 2" sold 3 million yuan and "Orphan's Revenge" sold 7 million yuan. "Tai Chi 2" has been sold to Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. Taking them all together, there are more than 1,200 Wan!"

"..."

The phone suddenly stopped, then crackled and screamed louder: "Impossible! They are making this up. How much did Cheng Long sell? How much did Xu Guanjie sell?"

7 million for a horror movie?

It’s so funny, they’ve run out of tricks, they’ve all started lying! You go find the evidence immediately, we want to expose them, expose them! "

"..."

What evidence could Jiang Fengqi find? But he knew that Tong Yuejuan had lost control now, so he had no choice but to respond and hang up the phone silently.

Not long after he came to the club, Tong Yuejuan ate meat before, and he drank the soup happily. Now he suddenly felt difficult and felt that the situation was very wrong. He murmured: "This woman is fierce in appearance and soft in heart. She is incompetent. I'd better look for old classmates. Let's see if you can transfer me back to Taiwan.

Hong Kong is about to change! "
