1979 Golden Age

Hong Kong is getting hotter in June.

Chungking Mansions on Nathan Road is even more lively, with prosperous shops and a large number of customers, including low-income groups. Indians and Pakistanis can be seen everywhere, and everyone who passes by them hides their noses in disgust.

Michele was wearing school uniform and riding an old bicycle. After returning from school, he passed Chungking Mansions and went straight to a tenement building diagonally opposite. Suddenly he glanced at it, slowed down, and stretched out his well-proportioned thighs. Holding on to the car.

There was a Gundam car parked on the roadside.

This kind of car is considered a junk car in Hong Kong and is not driven by rich people. What she cares about is the few men standing next to it.

"Is it them?"

"Probably so!"

Michele observed not far away for a while, then plucked up the courage to step forward.

Chen Qi was sharing popsicles with Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng when he suddenly saw a little girl approaching. She had deep facial features and said a little shyly: "Excuse me...do you remember me? One night in the building, an Indian... …”

"oh!"

Xiao Mo recognized it first because he left behind the aftermath and said: "You are that girl!"

As he said that, he explained to Chen Qi: "On the day we attacked the Indians, you left first, the mother and daughter."

"..."

It was quite dark that night, so Chen Qi left in a hurry and didn't notice. When he took a look, yo, it was her!

"Remember, were you okay that day?"

"It's okay. Thanks for your help. I didn't expect to meet you again today. Thank you very much!"

Michele didn't pay attention at the time, but when he saw the real master, he was so surprised, he was so young.

"Are you out of school?"

"Well, I'm in elementary school, but I'll be going to middle school soon."

"A primary school student again?"

Chen Qi is tired, there is no woman who is equal to him!

"Mr. Chen!"

While they were chatting, a well-matched woman ran down from Chungking Mansions. When she saw Michele, she was also surprised: "Hey, are you that girl?"

"Yes, sister, thank you for your help!"

"You're welcome! But what a coincidence today, we all bump into each other. Hey, little sister, do you want to have dinner together?"

"No need to bother, my mother will be worried if I get home late..."

Michele waved her hand and was about to leave, but Chen Qi suddenly stopped her and handed over a business card for public use: "I'm a movie maker. You have good qualifications. Leave your contact information and I can contact you if I have a role."

"Thank you! But I may not need it. My ambition is to be a flight attendant."

She smiled, took a pen and wrote her contact information on the back of the business card, and waved her hand again: "Bye!"

"..."

Zhong Chuhong watched her leave without saying anything. This little girl was obviously a mixed race, a complete beauty, and indeed had amazing qualifications. He only said: "Hey, why did you come here suddenly? You are very famous in France, and you are everywhere in Hong Kong. Write about you."

"Of course I have something to do with you. Looking for a place to sit?"

"Then go inside, if you don't mind."

Zhong Chuhong pointed towards Chungking Mansion. If Chen Qi had anything to dislike, he took Xiao Mo there while Xiao Geng stayed in the car.

After finding a fast food restaurant and ordering three wonton noodles, Chen Qi got straight to the point: "Shaw Brothers sold you to me!"

"puff!"

"Ahem! What did you say?"

Chen Qi repeated it.

Zhong Chuhong looked confused. Twenty-two years of life passed by in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern. He was not as excited as he was at this moment. He shouted: "Manager Fang lent me out at the beginning, but now he just throws it away. What do you think of me?"

"I treat you as a commodity! She gave up on you when she lent you out, don't you understand? In today's environment, if you make a left-wing film, you will only cause trouble for Shaw Brothers."

"Then why did she agree to let me take the photo?" She didn't understand.

"Because I promised to kill Xinyi City. It's all a business deal."

"you!"

Zhong Chuhong stood up abruptly and glared at him angrily: "Why are you telling me this? You specifically asked me to tell you this? You use me as a bargaining chip. You think I'm funny, don't you?"

"For this kind of thing, you have to think about it from another angle..."

Chen Qi ate wonton noodles and said slowly: "First of all, you have great value before you can be used as a bargaining chip. Secondly, have you ever seen someone who has a bargaining chip to be the heroine of a 6 million movie?"

Finally, I want to make things clear to you so that you can understand how much we have paid and how much Shaw Brothers has paid. "

"this……"

Zhong Chuhong was stunned.

"The budget for "The Last Days" is HK$6 million! We hired an American special effects team. Female stars who want to be the heroine can be lined up from Tsim Sha Tsui to Lantau Island. Why is it your turn?

Because we like your potential and are willing to take this risk. You always say Shaw Brothers, Fang Yihua throws you away after using it. How can it compare to our sincerity? You are crazy, why do you even think about this? "

"..."

Zhong Chuhong was even more confused after being scolded. Thinking about it, why is it my turn? Because the leftists are sincere!

She vaguely felt that something was wrong with her logic, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. She sat down slowly and pouted, "How much did Fang Yihua sell me for?"

"300,000!"

"Only 300,000?"

She was even more depressed and asked: "What will happen to me if I don't go anywhere?"

"We are equivalent to buying out your contract. If you don't sign with us, we will withdraw the buyout, and you will still be from Shaw Brothers. But you will probably be hidden. You know Fang Yihua is petty."

Ahhhh!

Zhong Chuhong went a little crazy and continued to glare at Chen Qi, complaining in her heart: I just said you didn't want to click on me. Why did you click on me in the first place? What is the beauty of Xiangjiang? I just want to make some money honestly, now it’s okay, I can’t do it if I don’t go...

She cupped her hands: "Congratulations, Mr. Chen, the united front was successful!"

"We are all happy together, so all the hard work has not been in vain."

Chen Qi also bowed his hand.

Zhong Chuhong felt a little subtle after hearing this. Is this man doing this all for me?

There was nothing she couldn't admit. Chen Qi was handsome and talented. He had just done a job in France. She already had a good impression of him. Thinking about it again, she couldn't help but feel a lot happier.

"Forget it, if you vote left, vote left. At worst, I can go home and help my mother sell clothes!"

…………

A few days later, Hong Kong finally received a reply from the mainland: The merger was agreed!

And appointed Liao Yiyuan as chairman, as previously expected.

Historically, the leftists merged in September this year, but now they are several months ahead of schedule. The key is that historically the leftists had no choice but to stick together for warmth, but now they are ambitious and strategic.

Fu Qi is a director and also serves as general manager.

Chen Qi suggested that Xian Qiran be an assistant to help Fu Qi with planning and production work, and then shut up. After all, he was an outsider and could not give pointers.

The merger of several companies will require major personnel adjustments, which will take some time.

However, the candidates for several positions are relatively clear. Fu Qi is in charge of the core production business, the publicity and distribution department is handed over to Shi Nansheng, and the artist management is handed over to Shi Hui - Great Wall is already the strongest, and Phoenix and Xinlian have no people left.

In addition, invest in a studio for Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng and let them tinker with it themselves.

The studio can sign directors and actors, and make whatever they want. The movie will be shown in left-wing theaters, and the accounts will be divided normally. Any loss or profit is their own business.

At the same time, it is stipulated that if the company assigns Tsui Hark to film a movie, he must give priority to filming, including basic director's fee + bonus, and the bonus will be divided according to the box office.

When Tsui Hark is his own boss, he must consider financial issues, which naturally restrains him from letting himself go, not to mention that Shi Nansheng is watching.

Everything is in order, the leftists finally released the news that they are going to hold a press conference!
