1979 Golden Age

That night.

Everyone had a feast together. Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng were still living in the Great Wall Dormitory for the time being. They had made up their minds. Instead, they thought about the broadness of the world and no longer worried about gains and losses.

"Then let's go in first, bye!"

"See you tomorrow!"

Taking the elevator upstairs, the two of them got off first.

Chen Qi watched with his own eyes as Shi Nansheng grabbed Tsui Hark by the collar and dragged him into the house. He said, "Can you do it, old weirdo Xu? He is as thin as a firewood stick. Nansheng is very proactive at first sight..."

"Why are you still arranging people behind your back? Do you understand? You are only 22." Shi Hui knocked on him.

I understand!

I understand!

I understand everything from 200 to 2000!

"Xiao Chen has a partner, go in and sit for a while." Fu Qi said with a smile.

"Okay, Zhizhi won't fall asleep, right?" Chen Qi said.

"I asked her to do her homework at home, but she should be watching TV."

The elevator went up to the first floor and the three of them walked out. Shi Hui deliberately stomped with her high heels, then walked to the door and opened it. The light inside was on. Fu Mingxian ran out of the bedroom: "Mom, Dad, eh? elder brother!"

"I brought you delicious food, are you good?"

"Yes, I have been doing homework and my butt hurts from sitting."

"Go in and help yourself, we have something to talk about."

"Um!"

Fu Mingxian obediently carried the lunch box back to the bedroom. Shi Hui touched the back of the TV and pouted. Fu Qi nodded at her and whispered: "A loving mother often loses her son!"

"I'm happy! As long as the boss and the second child are successful, it's fine, and Zhizhi is happy."

"You are doting!"

They have an eldest daughter who is studying medicine at Jinan University in Guangzhou, and a son who is studying abroad.

"Zhizhi has an excellent appearance. She can develop in the entertainment industry in the future. With our protection, it would be good to become a film and television star." Chen Qi said with a smile.

"You don't understand as well as Xiao Chen, so I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"

Shi Hui went to change into home clothes first, then washed some fruits, and the three of them sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted. Fu Qidao: "Our application report has been sent out through confidential channels. It is very fast and we will get a reply in a few days."

"If the left parties merge, who will be the chairman?" Chen Qi asked.

"It should be Comrade Liao Yiyuan. He used to be the director of "Wen Wei Po" and now leads Xinlian Company. He joined the work very early, has rich experience and is highly respected."

"Then you are the general manager?"

"I should be responsible for the specific business." Fu Qi admitted generously.

"I don't have much energy right now, so I have to take a back seat and just do the logistics work." Shi Hui said with a smile.

"You are the Dinghai Shenzhen. You are indispensable in the united front work. Didn't I see that Shi Nansheng is about to marry you?"

Chen Qi also smiled and said: "I have a little suggestion. Although our strategy is to go overseas, the local market is also very important. The current restriction for us is that there are too few theaters, only 8. When there is a big show, we have to rent it temporarily. theater.

If the merger is successful, you might as well rent several theaters for a long time, or even better, buy them, so that you have real estate. "

"Real estate in Hong Kong is too expensive. We don't have enough money to buy it, so we can only borrow money, but the loan comes with burdens. It's hard for everyone to recover." Fu Qi sighed.

"I can help with funding. Counting our joint investment, the price will always fall."

During the Sino-British negotiations in the second half of the year, the Hong Kong property market began to fall. It plummeted even further the next year. It only improved in 1985 and remained strong for another ten years until the financial crisis. After the new century, the property market has been very stable, even more exaggerated than that in mainland China, and one of the best in the world.

Chen Qi couldn't mention these and discussed other aspects.

For example, regarding the arrangements between Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng, Shi Nansheng had outstanding management skills. He suggested giving Tsui Hark a specific position and at the same time giving Tsui Hark creative freedom, but not too much freedom, because this guy can easily let himself go and make money-losing movies.

Generally speaking, as the first celebrity to take the initiative to vote, he must be given adequate treatment and let the outside world take a look.

In addition, with a lot of money earned this year, Dongchang and the leftists are full of confidence, and they are bound to increase production, which will require more talents, and the hoe must continue to dig.

A few people don't want to make any announcements for the time being. Once the matter is clear, they are planning to hold a press conference to talk about it publicly.

…………

After talking, Chen Qi went upstairs to his room.

He just came back from France today. His mental excitement overcame his physical fatigue and he couldn't sleep at all. So he simply wrote a letter to Gong Xue, saying that he would go back soon - because he had made money, his superiors were sure He needs to be called back to report on his duties.

There are two more films this year, "Tai Chi 3" for Tsui Hark, and "Life is Beautiful" by myself.

He roughly classified the film levels according to the overseas standards:

Level 1: Mainly in the Hong Kong market, but can also be sold for some money in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Hong Kong is a good place to make money. The Hong Kong dollar is also a foreign currency. The cost is still small, so we need to do more.

Level 2: Those that are rooted in the Hong Kong market and can sell for a lot of money in East and Southeast Asia are an upgraded version of Level 1.

Level 3: Low-cost special films focusing on the Western market.

Level 4: An upgraded version of Level 3.

He wants to make first-class and third-class films next year and lay a solid foundation first.

There are so many choices...

Chen Qi thought for a while, behind Xinyi City is Princess Jin. Princess Jin will not sit back and watch them collapse. She has to hold them together even if there are internal conflicts. She has to film under the Xinyi City brand.

Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​and Huang Baiming are all capable. Even if they work alone, they can keep Xinyicheng going for a few years.

"Then we should completely crush them. Don't give them a chance to turn over!"

Chen Qi has locked on to the direction, and his ideas are flowing like a spring, and his inspiration is like diabetic diabetic. He will start writing a low-cost comedy first.

…………

The leftists return with a huge fortune and honor.

The whole of Hong Kong is waiting for their next move. The Hong Kong film industry has reached a subtle state where it seems calm on the surface, but in fact everyone knows that things are going to change.

Afternoon.

Ringo Lam, who is less than 30 years old, got off the bus, looked around, and walked towards an ordinary restaurant.

He used to be a student of TVB's artist training class. After graduation, he worked as a director and editor. He worked in the TV station for a few years, went to Canada to learn how to make movies, and just came back this year to join Xinyicheng.

Next year, he will direct his first movie "Yin Yang Mi", starring Alan Tam, Ni Shujun, and Cecilia Yip.

This film is very interesting. The original name was "Human Ghost Love". After the filming started, the cast and crew were injured one after another. Five directors were replaced, seven photographers were used, and the wives of five staff members were pregnant and miscarried. It was very strange.

Later, a master was asked to calculate and the name was changed to "Yin Yang Mistake", which won 11 million box office.

Ringo Lam's representative works are naturally the Fengyun trilogy: "Prison on Fire", "Dragon Tiger Storm" and "School on Fire".

His style is unique in Hong Kong. It is based on real social materials and highlights the oppression and violence of individuals by groups. The tone is relatively dark and the violence is very large. He is a rare "semi-realistic" director.

Some directors in Hong Kong still have personal pursuits. They often focus on a certain type of film. The standard is very high, but it's a pity that there are too few.

Ringo Lam is still a young man. He pushed open the door of the restaurant, looked around, and then saw Shi Nansheng.
