1979 Golden Age

The National Day of the Communist Party of China is on October 10, which is also the anniversary of the Revolution of 1911 and is often called the "Double Tenth Day".

There are many pro-Taiwan groups in Hong Kong, including schools. For example, the middle school where Li Sai-feng returned to Hong Kong to study was pro-Taiwan. She was discovered by the director during the school's Double Ten Festival celebrations and was cast in the movie.

Many people think that after Hong Kong's return, everything will return to normalcy.

In fact, no, there are many legacies and harms, such as teachers and teaching materials, such as judges wearing instant noodle heads... The same goes for Double Ten Day. Some teams continued to celebrate after the return, and it was not completely banned until the promulgation of the National Security Law.

On October 1, the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency held a National Day cocktail party as usual. The Governor of Hong Kong was present, so naturally Chen Qi and leftist filmmakers also wanted to attend.

In the blink of an eye, October 10th arrived, and Taiwan’s offices in Hong Kong were not to be outdone in celebrating. The Liberty Association, as usual, hosted a banquet for bosses or representatives of large and small companies in the most luxurious hotels.

Late afternoon.

Zhuang Cheng, wearing a suit, got out of the taxi, looked up at the hotel building, took a few deep breaths, and walked in.

This was his first major event after becoming the general manager of Legendary Pictures. He was quite nervous at first, but Chen Qi told him: "You think I don't exist, and don't think of the company as a leftist. This is an ordinary small company, and you are the president." Manager, if you want to work hard to open up the market, you are not fighting for me, you are fighting for yourself..."

He was right.

It is important to hypnotize yourself subconsciously.

"I opened a company, I want to make a career, I opened a company, I want to make a career!"

Zhuang Cheng went upstairs and when he got out of the elevator, he saw a huge billboard that read "Both places are united and celebrate the National Day". A group of people were walking into the banquet hall. The leader's face was familiar.

When we arrived at the door, there was a long table on the right. A man was holding a brush and covering it with red paper. He asked without looking up: "Where is it?"

"Yongjia Company!"

Chen Xunqi responded and presented a red envelope with both hands - of course it was not called a red envelope, but called a "gold donation" to show his sincerity to the fruit party.

Zhuang Cheng hurriedly followed, and the man asked as usual: "Where are you from?"

"Legendary Pictures!"

Um?

The writer paused and raised his head: "You are not on the guest list, are you? New company?"

"Not long after it was established, I didn't even have time to register with the association. I heard about the Double Ten Festival event, so I came to visit first. It's disrespectful!"

Zhuang Cheng also offered money with both hands.

"You are a sensible person, go in!"

The man brushed his hands and wrote the words "Legendary Pictures" on the red paper.

Zhuang Cheng walked a few steps inside, but Chen Xunqi was waiting in front and greeted, "Brother, are you new to the industry?"

"yes!"

"Where did you work before?"

"Princess Jin was doing the announcement. I also met my eldest brother, but he definitely doesn't remember it."

"Oh, that's a family! You're doing well too. You've opened your own company. It doesn't matter if we didn't know each other before, we'll be brothers from now on!"

Chen Xunqi became intimate with her because his Yongjia Company had Princess Jin as a shareholder, and the movie was also screened in Princess Golden Cinema.

Zhuang Cheng laughed along with him. He was not on the guest list and had no seat. Chen Xunqi simply pulled him to sit with him and introduced him to his table mates. Everyone did not take it seriously. It was not uncommon for newcomers like this to come over and flatter him.

After sitting for a while, Tong Yuejuan appeared.

She was still wearing a cheongsam, an jade pendant, and a towering hairstyle, and her whole body exuded the rotten smell of old Shanghai.

She stepped on high heels and stepped onto the stage. Looking at the silence below, she felt a sense of control from a superior. Despite the embarrassment of being criticized by the left this year, as long as Taiwan is here, the Federation will be there, the Federation will be there, and I will still be Lafayette.

"Seventy years ago, in January 1912, the Republic of China was established in Nanjing!"

"56 years ago, the Northern Expedition!"

"Fifty-four years ago, the former president embarked on a journey from Xuzhou and began the second Northern Expedition... The people wholeheartedly welcomed it, and the realm of vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes..."

Tong Yuejuan gave a passionate speech, and a group of film company bosses were forced to take classes.

A person at Zhuang Cheng's table whispered: "It's none of our business!"

"I tell you this every year, why not change it up!"

"The chicken bastard!"

"If she hadn't been too old, she would have found someone to rape her!"

"It's okay now!"

"Wow, if word spreads out, do I still need a reputation? How can I survive in the world?"

Zhuang Cheng lowered his head and did not dare to laugh. He was not qualified to participate in such an event before. This was his first experience. He did not expect it to be this kind of experience: It was Taiwan that everyone was afraid of, not Tong Yuejuan, but he had to endure it and accompany her. An old woman playing games...

After a long time, Tong Yuejuan finally finished speaking, took a breath, and added: "A few months ago, the leftists won a small prize in Cannes that no one wanted, and when they came back, they forgot about it, like a clown, claiming to lead everyone to sea.

I am very pleased that, except for a few bandit filmmakers, the vast majority of them still love the party and the state.

I, Tong Yuejuan, have never treated my own people badly. At that time, I applied to the Information Bureau to give more policies to Hong Kong films, but you also know that Taiwan treats Hong Kong films favorably.

I applied again and again and finally got a new preferential treatment. "

As soon as this statement came out, everyone paid attention to it.

Taiwan is the largest market for Hong Kong films, and every move is related to the industry, such as the tax refund mentioned above: Hong Kong filmmakers have to pay a tax when they bring films into the country, and they will get the tax back when they leave the island after filming.

This is a very affordable policy.

"Article 1: Starting this year, as long as you are a member of the General Association and want to make a film but lack funds, you can apply for a loan of 2 million New Taiwan dollars from us. When the film is released and gets box office success, you can repay it with interest-free money!"

"Article 2: The Information Bureau encourages everyone to make more Mandarin films. Anyone who makes a Mandarin film and is allowed to be released in Taiwan can be rewarded with 300,000 New Taiwan dollars!"

(PS: These are all real policies in history.)

Buzz buzz buzz!

The discussion below started, and it sounded good at first, but it was too tasteless for these old birds.

Today, the exchange rate of New Taiwan dollars to US dollars is 39.9:1, and the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars is 6.9:1.

2 million New Taiwan dollars is only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. It is better than nothing for an old company, and the reward of 300,000 New Taiwan dollars is even less, but small and new companies may need this. Generally speaking, this is a clause to support small and medium-sized companies...

Tong Yuejuan is still somewhat capable and knows where the conflict with the leftists is.

When the leftists said they wanted to take people to sea, she applied for the support plan.

After the speech, the banquet officially began. The hall was noisy. Tong Yuejuan held a glass of wine and chatted and laughed with people at each table. This was her favorite moment.

After a while, she came to Zhuang Cheng's table.

She really knew everyone. She knew the company even if she didn't know them. After drinking a circle and coming to Zhuang Cheng, she smiled and said, "This little brother has a good face. Where is he working?"

"I just set up a small company. I haven't had time to visit you yet. I came here first. Please forgive me!"

Zhuang Cheng hurriedly introduced himself.

"Oh, welcome, welcome. Every year, there are several new brothers joining. Don't panic."

Tong Yuejuan attaches great importance to newcomers. She simply sits down and asks Zhuang Cheng about his background.

"You quit your job to start a business. Where did the money come from?"

"Well, it's not convenient to talk about it..."

Zhuang Cheng hesitated.

"Oh, we are all family. What's inconvenient?"

"It's supported by a big brother. I can't say his identity."

Oh!

Everyone at the table understood. It's a club!

There are several people present. Some are really making movies, and some are for money laundering. Anyway, it's not surprising.
