1979 Golden Age

This year, with additional sponsorship, a reception was held after the Academy Awards.

Half of the entertainment industry came, the big guys were the focus, and Mr. Chen was the focus of the focus. Unfortunately, he ignored others, just like a man going shopping, aiming directly at the target.

Talk to Shu Qi first, don't do double yolks anymore.

Shu Qi was stunned when she heard it. Objectively speaking, the action design of "The Transporter" is slightly inferior to "Project A", and it took advantage of the double yolk.

"I told you a long time ago, don't always focus on Hong Kong, focus on the entire Chinese film industry across the Taiwan Strait. We want to establish the most authoritative award, and not doing double yolks is a basic principle."

"I understand, Mr. Chen!"

"Well, I hope you will do better and better."

Shu Qi rolled her eyes. What do you mean by we will do better and better? This is clearly a reform according to your own wishes.

Chen Qicai ignored his thoughts and found Wen Jun again, asking: "How many people have been called?"

"More than 30!"

"It's a bit too few, at least 60 is decent. Hong Kong produces 100 films every year, it's impossible that we can't even find 60 screenwriters? As long as you have written a movie script, whether you write it yourself or in collaboration, you are considered a member of the union."

"Okay, I'll contact them again. Do screenwriters of TV series count?"

"Not for now, only movies. I'll make it clear that I'm only an initiator, not a chairman. You can choose your own people and nominate a few officers. I can be a consultant."

"What consultant?"

As he was talking, Cheng Long came over with a glass of wine and smiled. Chen Qi said: "Screenwriters' Union! It happens that you have also written a script. Do you want to join?"

"Sure! I always pay attention to the script when I shoot a movie."

"Okay, count him in."

Chen Qi pointed at him, and Wen Jun was shocked. He didn't dare to invite him, and seeing that Cheng Long seemed to have something to talk about, he consciously avoided it.

"Police Story is about to start filming!" Cheng Long said.

"It's very efficient. Who are the actors?"

"Chu Yuan, Dong Biu, and the two female roles are Anita Mui and Maggie Cheung."

"Police Story" was originally cast as Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung. The former played the villain's secretary who turned from evil to good and became a witness, and the latter played his girlfriend. Cheng Long's character is called Chen Jiaju. Hey, doesn't he look familiar?

Like Uncle Jiu, he is also a frequent guest in online articles.

Cheng Long seemed to be choosing his words carefully, and asked: "We don't understand the censorship standards of the mainland. In your opinion, can "Police Story" be released in the mainland?"

"Of course! I know what I wrote. The police catch thieves, which has a positive meaning wherever it is. Unlike Fatty Hong, who likes to do dirty things and always goes down the third road, it has to be cut."

"Fatty Hong?"

Cheng Long's mouth twitched, and then said: "If we divide the revenue in Guangdong Province as you said, how much box office can we get?"

"You still don't understand the complexity of the mainland environment. We don't know whether this will succeed. If we are lucky, there will be second and third rounds of talks. It will be good if it can be launched within the year. If we are unlucky, there will be nothing."

"What about us?" Cheng Long was shocked.

"Either stay in the local area or go overseas with me. I told you a long time ago."

Chen Qi had a sense of relaxation and didn't care about the life and death of others. He took a glass of wine and left, leaving Cheng Long depressed.

He had a demand for the Taiwan market, especially in the 1990s. At that time, the cost of his filming was terrifying, and Taiwan could spend more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars to buy his films, which was very considerable. He was very active in going to Taiwan in the 1990s.

"Oh, Hong Kong's awards also have double yolks?"

"Hong Kong is going to return, and the awards must be in step! Didn't you see Siqin Gaowa got it?"

"Xia Meng is old!"

"Hey, the three princesses of the Great Wall are all Shanghai silver medalists, and Gong Xue is also a Shanghai silver medalist, which shows that our Shanghai film talents are amazing!"

In the Yindu dormitory, a group of migrant workers watched the broadcast of the Academy Awards.

They were given 10 days to prepare, but they actually finished it ahead of schedule with the enthusiasm of the whole people's mass production. Today, we finished work early, and everyone bought some food and drinks from the cafeteria and squeezed into Lao Liu's room to watch TV.

Salaries are paid every Monday.

Everyone has received the first week's salary, including overtime pay, about 120 Hong Kong dollars per person.

One of them was drinking a little wine and said, "Lao Liu, we go to and from work every day, and we are so bored. Can you give us some feedback and let us go out for a walk to see what Hong Kong is like?"

"No!"

Lao Liu saw it clearly and said, "All of us are married, and half of the families have children. Think about your family and the factory, and be honest. Buy some things to take back, okay? Don't have any bad thoughts."

"That's right, I've wanted to buy a color TV for a long time! That one costs more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. Xiao Zhang is righteous and promised to help me a little."

"Hey! Xiao Zhang, you don't buy anything?"

"There's no one at home. It's useless to buy it. There's no rush."

Zhang Jianya, who was lying on the bed, replied. Everyone knew his family situation and was embarrassed to say anything, so they quickly changed the subject.

Zhang Jianya smiled and didn't care, and continued to read the script in his hand.

He came to Hong Kong to see the complete script. It was not as lawless as he imagined, and there were no pornographic and nude passages, but the violence was a bit larger.

The general idea was: the protagonist is a teenage girl with a sister who is one year older. The elder sister went to a music festival and then disappeared.

Some time later, the protagonist met a talent scout and accidentally found something of the elder sister in the scout's car. The scout didn't know she was the younger sister and began to trick her.

The script did not describe what happened to the elder sister, but indirectly showed the elder sister's experience through the contact between the protagonist and the villain. This set of procedures is fixed: the scout's sweet talk coaxed her, introduced the so-called agent, and then fainted and abused her...

But I didn't expect the younger sister to be so strong.

"She is a smart, calm girl who loves sports!"

Zhang Jianya concluded that the American actors will arrive tomorrow, and he is very curious. Because he can't forget a sentence in the script: "As powerful as a pony!"

What kind of girl can be described like this?

Oh no, what kind of actor should have this kind of temperament?

…………

It was already past ten o'clock when Chen Qi returned to the Tsuen Wan dormitory.

The other actors lived separately, Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang were still neighbors, and Gu Weili lived two floors above him.

He went into the room, turned on the light, washed up, and lay down on the bed with a little drunkenness, sighing: "All day long, there are bright lights and feasting! How much effort did I put into resisting the erosion of the bourgeoisie in Hong Kong?"

"I have worked so hard for the country, so after decades, I will have a sixth-generation aircraft to ride on?"

Chen Qi is actually quite lonely here, mainly doing business. He has no business in the mainland, but he has his family to accompany him.

He took advantage of the alcohol to go crazy, but he still had to get up to work. Like the workers, the children will stop crying after they cry, but the workers have to go to work after they cry.

He sat at the table, spread out the paper, and habitually started to do desk work.
