1979 Golden Age

""Tai Chi 2" produced by Mainland Oriental Film Company will be released simultaneously in 16 theaters on August 6!"

"Last year, "Tai Chi" grossed 20 million at the box office, becoming the first movie to break 20 million since the opening of Hong Kong. The timeline of "Tai Chi 2" follows the first one, telling the story of Yang Yuqian after he opened a martial arts gym in the capital. There are also The magnificent historical background...let us look forward to this work together! ”

"The leading actors of "Tai Chi 2" Li Lianjie and Zhen Zidan will meet with fans in the theater, twice a day. From now on, you can pre-purchase movie tickets..."

"Chen Qi expressed optimism about the few films that will be released in the summer. He said that "Brothers and Brothers" may be the last glory of Xinyi City. Huang Baiming has left, and Mai Jia and Shi Tian have no creative ability. Bad films will come one after another. What a pity "The Best Partner"..."

"Street boy!"

On the set of "The Best of Us 2", Mai Jia slammed a newspaper, and Teddy Robin said helplessly: "Don't be in the street all day long, and in the end we will be in the street ourselves!"

"Can't I vent my anger?"

"Then do you still want to take pictures?" Teddy Robin was not used to it.

"Shoot! Shoot! Of course I'll shoot!"

New Art City also has two completed films to be released this year, "Brothers in Need" and "Afraid of Little Life", as well as several other works planned to be released next year. The top priority is "The Best Partner 2".

The original director, Eric Tsang, left, so Teddy Robin had to take over.

However, Teddy Robin did not participate in the early preparations, which made everything confusing. Moreover, the original roles of Tsui Hark, Eric Tsang, and Huang Baiming in the film are now gone. Huang Baiming moved out of the New Art City Company and started his own studio.

All in all a mess.

"Either you rest or work hard. Who are you blaming? Are you blaming us?"

Zhang Aijia has a more tempered temper and directly quarrels with her.

Her background was so harsh that Mai Jia didn't dare to get angry, so she had no choice but to shoot in a depressed manner.

After finally completing today's task, everyone including Xu Guanjie and Zhang Sijia felt very uncomfortable. They felt that the crew was in a particularly bad state, and the actors were also in a moodless state. Xu Guanjie did not interfere with this and left directly.

Zhang Aijia called Mai Jia to stop and wanted to have a chat.

"You have broken up, but the show has not ended. The producer is still New Art City, and you are still the major shareholder. It is your business to lose or make money. I only want to say a few words to you for the sake of my friends!"

"Sorry, I have a bad temper recently and I can't control it." Mai Jia sighed.

"never mind!"

Zhang Aijia shook her head and said: "Let me ask you, where is New Art City's film list for next year? In addition to "The Best Partner 2", how many other films are there?"

"Shi Tian is filming one himself!"

"Well, what else?"

"..."

"No more???"

Zhang Aijia's eyes widened: "Don't tell me, you will only have two dramas next year?"

"The director has run away, even Lin Lingdong has run away, but don't worry, I will invite the director from outside."

"What about the script?"

"I'm looking for someone from outside to write it!"

"..."

Zhang Aijia stopped asking. She finally understood. She took out a script from her bag and said, "I don't care about your affairs in Hong Kong, but the Taiwan branch is still open. There are a lot of people over there waiting to eat. They have to film." . This is the script, look at it!”

"I won't read it. You can tell me about it."

"All right!"

Zhang Aijia was helpless and said: "It's called "The Wrong Bus". It tells the story of a group of people who took the wrong bus from Taipei to Kaohsiung, and a lot of nonsense happened in the car. It's a comedy..."

Mai Jia listened patiently for a while, frowned more and more, and rubbed his bald head: "I feel bored listening to you. If you shoot it, you will lose money. I will not invest."

"Then the Taiwan branch can't stop filming, right?"

"Change the script, or go talk to Shi Tian."

"Please! I don't even know where Shi Tian is!"

But Mai Jia was very insistent and said: "As you said, I am still the majority shareholder of Xinyi City and I have to be responsible for the performance. This script really doesn't work."

He left too.

Zhang Aijia was extremely irritated. She was the director of the Taiwan branch. There was a group of staff waiting to start work there and she could not be left behind. She had no choice but to drive to a commercial building and find a small office.

There is a sign hanging outside: Huang Baiming Film Studio.

Huang Baiming came out with his apprentice Gao Zhisen. Although there were few people, they were full of confidence. This is the confidence to have creative power.

After listening to Zhang Aijia's explanation of the purpose of his visit, he said politely: "Although I am in the name of Xinyi City, I am directly responsible to Princess Jin. Xinyi City has nothing to do with me. Moreover, I have become independent and am planning to start a business with all my heart. Not enough to vote for two films, sorry.”

"I'm not asking you to invest, I'm asking you to read the script and do me a favor."

Having said that, Huang Baiming couldn't refuse.

He flipped through it, shook his head and said, "It's really boring. Let's write another one. I have a story about a rag collector and an abandoned baby. It's a tragedy. If you like it, you can take it."

"How can a comedy be turned into a tragedy? And if it's a tragedy, Mai Jia won't even invest in it. Forget it, I'll find someone to rewrite the script!"

Zhang Aijia was tired, shook her head and left.

…

The historical trajectory has changed again.

Huang Baiming originally thought of a story about a briber and an abandoned baby, but the company rejected it.

And Zhang Aijia came to him for review with "The Wrong Ride". It was a very bad comedy script. Huang Baiming didn't like it, so he picked up the story of a briber and an abandoned baby. At that time, New Art City was not divided, and Huang Baiming I insisted on filming it, and finally did it. It changed from a comedy to a tragedy, and the content was completely changed.

It was originally titled "If You Sell Nothing When Dry Wine", but the creator of the song, Hou Dejian, ran back to the mainland and was blocked by Taiwan. As a result, the film was also banned. New Art City went through all possible means to get it approved, but the title had to be changed. , so Huang Baiming called back "Wrong Ride".

This led to the well-known "Wrong Ride", a story about a mute Taiwanese veteran who adopted an abandoned baby.

Su Rui became famous after singing "Dry Wine If You Sell Nothing". It was screened in Taiwan for six months and was later introduced to the mainland. It was also remade into a TV series by Li Xuejian...

Now that Huang Baiming is independent, he has no obligation to do this, and the script of "The Wrong Ride" has been quietly missed.

………………

While New Art City was in chaos, "Tai Chi 2" was announced in an orderly manner.

No matter how grumpy Mai Jia was, he still knew that "Brothers in Need" was of great importance, so he called Shi Tian back, and the two finally worked together to strive for a good box office.

As a result, the movie market has become abuzz, with "Tai Chi 2", "Brothers in Trouble", "The Scary Man" and "Tathagata Palm" all launching promotional campaigns. And the people from the capital have also returned.

"Brother Qi!"

On the roadside of the airport, Li Lianjie danced and waved, and several cars parked slowly.

Chen Qi came to pick up him and Gong Xue, and Shi Nansheng came to pick up Xu Hark.

They each got in the car and drove to the Yindu dormitory. Gong Xue sat quietly. Li Lianjie was very excited and asked: "I received the news. It will be released on the 6th. Is there another road show?"

"Yes, you and Zhen Zidan went to 16 theaters."

"No problem! I'm familiar with the road. Whatever Zhen Zidan does now, he has already left the sports school."

"I'm hanging out with Yuan Heping. When the time comes, you two can make some gestures and practice some tricks..."

Chen Qi turned his head and said softly: "I haven't arranged a road show for you. You have few roles, and you have to film "Beautiful Life". I'm afraid it will affect your state."

"It doesn't matter, I'm just afraid of being distracted!"

Gong Xue smiled.

While talking, the car stopped at the bottom of the building.

Gong Xue looked up at the building. She came to stay once during "Tai Chi 1", but that time she was short of time and had no time to do anything else. This time she had to stay for a long time, and her heart was ready to move.

For example, go shopping, go shopping, go shopping hand in hand...

(No more!

Um……)
