1979 Golden Age

"What the hell is going on?"

A few days later, Xie Zhonghou stood at the door of the ward with a gloomy face. He came to negotiate on behalf of the general association and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

He pushed the door open, furious. The grandson was walking around in the room, how could he look injured? Chen Qi took a look and said happily: "President Xie? Why are you here?"

"I heard that Mr. Chen was injured, so I came to visit him."

Xie Zhonghou put down the fruit basket and smiled: "You look so energetic, you must have recovered. When will you be discharged?"

'I won't be discharged. Every day I am in the hospital, the British Hong Kong will be upset and dislike you. When you leave, I will be discharged. Hey, hasn't the British Hong Kong driven you away yet?"

"You! "

Xie Zhonghou wanted to talk nicely, but the other party didn't give him any face. He suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Chen, I have something important to discuss. Can you let your people go out first?"

"Of course not. What if you assassinate me?" Chen Qi said in surprise.

"I am the head of a club after all. How can I act like this?"

"Please, where is your sense of morality?"

Xiao Mo nodded in cooperation.

Xie Zhonghou didn't want to talk anymore. Chinese people are used to being polite. Enemies can still chat for a few words when they meet, but this guy is like a mental patient.

He doesn't care about that at all. He doesn't want to be polite anymore, so he said, "Okay, then I'll speak frankly."

"We hope to turn hostility into friendship and promise that this will never happen again. The previous policy on Hong Kong films was indeed biased. We are willing to negotiate and adjust to reach a satisfactory result for all three parties."

"Haha!"

Chen Qi really laughed and said, "First, I don't need your promise. Come on, whatever tricks you have! Second, there is no result that satisfies all three parties, only the result that satisfies me, and I have only one request, that you will get out of Hong Kong freely!"

"Don't be arrogant! Can you guarantee that you are safe at any time and anywhere? Don't regret it when the time comes!"

"Oh my! You should settle the matter in Jiangnan first. The Americans are watching closely, and you want to get away with it without bleeding a lot? Maybe Taiwan will change soon, and you still have the mood to bark at me?"

"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing! You are good at making movies, but if you block the Taiwan market, will they follow you? You will be the first one they will oppose!" Xie Zhonghou said.

"You don't need to worry about it either! You can be dissatisfied, but if you have the guts, don't let Hong Kong movies enter Taiwan forever, and see who is anxious? As long as you open up, I will register dozens of companies casually, and you can check it out. If you can find it, I will admit defeat!"

Chen Qi pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, a paper tiger, you haven't thrown away decades of fine traditions at all! Tong Yuejuan ran away, you can send people, even if the British Hong Kong government doesn't drive you away, I will beat you one by one until you get out! ! "

"You!"

Xie Zhonghou's old face turned red, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't talk. Every word was like a knife piercing his heart.

"Xiao Mo, send President Xie out, don't die here to blackmail people!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Mo grabbed Xie Zhonghou and went out. After a while, he came back. Chen Qi put his hands on his waist and walked around the room, and said, "Go and call Gu Weili and Jiang Zhiqiang!"

About half an hour later, the golden boy and jade girl arrived.

"Boss, what do you want to do?"

"Send a letter to the bosses of film companies, famous directors, actors, screenwriters, etc. in Hong Kong, and we will hold a New Year's reception on December 31st, and invite them to attend. Tell them that we will publish the venue and list of the reception in the newspaper, including all the attendees. "

"Understood! ”

Including this time, Chen Qi has issued three times this year.

The first time was at the beginning of the year, with few responses; the second time was before the Olympics, with many responses; the third time was before the New Year, targeting all Hong Kong filmmakers. He doesn't want to drag it out any longer, and he must unify this year!

There has been a lot of noise about the siege of the left, and he insists that it was the right wing who instigated it. While guiding public opinion, he actively sued. No matter whether it succeeds or not, he will sue first. With the development of society today, litigation is a very powerful propaganda tool.

Zhuang Cheng hid in the dormitory building for several days. After confirming that he was safe, he appeared publicly and said that he would sue the Freedom Association. What is he suing for?

Of course, it's kickbacks!

Same He further exposed Taiwan's manipulation of Hong Kong films, corruption and money-making, which was totally unlike a "free and law-based" society. Taiwan's image was being damaged, and he hit it again.

Everyone saw that Zhuang Cheng had nothing to do and stood up for no reason, which showed that the left was protected and the right had failed.

As for Xie Zhonghou, he had no power to make decisions, but only reported to Taiwan.

Taiwan didn't know what it was doing, and there was no movement for several days. Just when Xie Zhonghou was almost dying of anxiety, he finally gave instructions:

"Tong Yuejuan defected, and there is no suitable candidate for the position of president of the Freedom Association. If Xie Zhonghou is willing, he can serve as president concurrently. If not, in view of the recent changes in the situation, adjustments will be made: organize the data files, settle the funds, and temporarily suspend activities.

Accumulate strength, temporarily avoid the edge, and wait for a counterattack!"

"Wait for a counterattack?"

"It's a joke to counterattack the mainland, and you think that movies can counterattack? "

Xie Zhonghou sighed. The only way to break this plan is to change the policy and establish a free and inclusive film market. No longer restrict Hong Kong filmmakers from interacting with the left, and accept leftist films to enter Taiwan.

Maybe it will be possible in the future, but it's not possible in Taiwan right now.

Since it can't be done, it can't be cracked, and freedom will eventually come to an end.

Chen Qi's butterfly flapped its wings and set off another storm.

Historically, cross-Strait relations thawed in the late 1980s, followed by the 1992 Consensus. At that time, Hong Kong filmmakers could travel freely to the mainland. Until the return of 1997, freedom would always evacuate.

Now it is 13 years ahead of schedule!

In addition to his own operations, the background of the times is his biggest reliance. Who brought the Sino-British negotiations and the Jiangnan case together? The former put pressure on Hong Kong and Britain, and the latter put pressure on Taiwan. Only then did Chen Qi have the opportunity to use the topic to his advantage.

18th.

Chen Qi bought a page to publish news about the leftist New Year's reception. The text contained only a few sentences and basically said that he invited Hong Kong filmmakers to celebrate the New Year together in the hope of a better year next year.

Below is a dense list of attendees.

Run Run Shaw didn't go, but Fang Yihua agreed; Zou Wenhuai didn't go, but He Guanchang agreed.

There are also Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Yuen Biao, Huang Pak Ming, Wu Siyuan, Wang Jing, Leslie Cheung, Chen Xunqi and other big and small figures. The current film industry talents, except those who have been named and eliminated, are all among them!

Chen Qi specially chose this day to have a small celebration before the big one.

Following closely, December 19th.

Thatcher and Chinese leaders formally signed the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" at the Great Hall of the People: The Chinese government decided to resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong on July 1, 1997!

Since then, Hong Kong has been unified!

While Hong Kong is in turmoil and all parties have their own thoughts, a forgotten Wang Zuxian is worrying.

Tong Yuejuan had just given her instructions, but everyone was gone. So should she still carry out the mission? Who should I report to in the future? The 17-year-old girl fell into deep anxiety.
