1979 Golden Age

After Shaw Brothers was about to die, it was Yong Sheng who poached Wang Jing at a high price and made a movie called "The Magic Jade".

The box office was not too high, but they made money, so the Xiang brothers signed a long-term contract with Wang Jing and made films such as "Fine Covers Chasing Girls".

For Yongsheng to start off, the best move was to sign Wong Jing and recruit the four great kings, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Li Lianlian and Stephen Chow.

Now, Wang Jing has been arrested.

The two brothers were getting angry and said to Hua Sheng, "We don't have enough creative talent. We finally have the opportunity to recruit a director. It would be too much for the leftists to even grab this little resource!"

"When Shaw Brothers was at its peak, they didn't talk about occupying the whole of Hong Kong. Didn't the leftists leave no way for them to survive?" Xiang Huaqiang also asked.

"But I'm very surprised. Wang Jing can only be said to be excellent, but he is far from being called a great director. The leftists actually invest in his studio? We can't compare with this condition. I don't dare to open a studio for him."

"It's no use talking so much, what should we do now?"

The brothers were silent for a moment.

They have some rules when it comes to making movies. For example, in the 1990s, when Li Zhi lost money in business, Li Lianlian paid her debts and signed a contract with Yong Sheng for 6 dramas in 3 years, with a total remuneration of 72 million yuan, half of which was paid in advance.

Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Tai were very good to Li Lianjie. Later, in order to praise their son Xiang Zuo, they made the epic-level bad movie "Legend of the Gods", and Li Lianjie also came to help out.

"Do we want it?" Xiang Huaqiang raised his head.

"What's going on? We make movies to make money. It would be fine if we can solve it by fighting and killing. But if we can't solve it now, we will make a fuss." Xiang Huasheng sighed.

The impact of last year's turmoil is still there.

The leftists are trying to steal people. They can't do it overtly or covertly, and they have to hold back their displeasure.

The Xiang brothers have brains and know how to change their stance. They are hard when they should be hard and soft when they should be soft. They established China Star Entertainment in 1992 and went to Shenzhen to build a studio in 1993. After 1997, they successfully landed.

Look at the name, China Star!

No less than the Hongxing Street Committee.

"Dingle bell!"

"Dingle bell!"

At this moment, the phone rang. Xiang Huaqiang picked it up and answered it. He frowned and said, "There's someone from Taiwan!"

"Um?"

"The Information Bureau sent someone again and asked us to meet."

After the Jiangnan Incident ended, Taiwan's internal institutions made some adjustments and finally had time to visit Hong Kong.

The person sent by the Information Bureau was named Sun Wenzhi.

But he came from an intelligence background. Due to the disastrous failure of the Information Bureau in the Hong Kong United Front and the Golden Horse Awards, he could no longer be trusted, so he transferred someone from the intelligence system. He is in his 50s and has an ordinary appearance. On the second day after arriving in Hong Kong, he booked the banquet hall of a luxury hotel and invited friends from the literary and art circles.

At this moment, his face looked very ugly.

Because it was already the appointed time, there were only two or three kittens in the huge banquet hall, and three tables were sat sparsely. One of the tables was composed of right-wing media colleagues.

"Tong Yuejuan's incompetence caused the Hong Kong position to fall!"

"It really makes me heartbroken!"

He is the same as Tong Yuejuan, his speech is also in the style of the Republic of China, and his clothes are quite western style.

The suit is crisp and the leather shoes are shiny.

Xie Zhonghou, the head of the Hong Kong branch of the Central News Agency, accompanied him. After hearing this, he said: "Tong Yuejuan not only did not return to the island to plead guilty, but also dared to flee. She deserves to die! Now that my brother has taken office, he will definitely be able to turn the tide and regain the lost ground!"

"Don't dare, I still need your help!"

The two of them bowed their hands to each other. Xie Zhonghou was happy. He had always been afraid of taking over this mess. It would be easier if Sun Wenzhi took office.

After waiting for a while, but no one came, Sun Wenzhi simply stood up: "No more, let's start!"

When the two came on stage, the scene was quiet. Xie Zhonghou made some opening remarks and introduced Sun Wenzhi solemnly. He held the microphone and scanned the audience. He was well prepared and knew most of them.

Shaw Brothers didn't come, Jiahe didn't come, Princess Jin came, Debao came, Yongsheng came, and there were several small companies.

Personally, Zhou Runfa is here, and Zhang Jianting is here—Zhang Jianting has become sworn in with the leftists.

He made two blockbuster films for Legendary Pictures, "The Seven Days of Love" and "Two Wives." He thought he would become a great director, but who knew this would be the result?

They had all cooperated with Legendary Pictures and were banned by Taiwan. However, in their conscience, they did not join the Communist Party and felt that they had been wronged.

But Chen Qi doesn't think they are wronged. These people are carefully selected, such as Zhang Jianting, he is an independent.

"Welcome everyone, I am very pleased that so many people are coming, which shows that there is still a part of the Hong Kong entertainment industry that has not been confused by the left and is committed to the party-state."

Sun Wenzhi said a few polite words and immediately got to the point: "The Free Federation was interfered by the British Hong Kong government and cannot be rebuilt for the time being. I established a 'Guosheng' film distribution company to temporarily take over the responsibilities of the Federation in the name of the company.

All the regulations remain unchanged. Films that want to be distributed in Taiwan must pass our review, and it will be stricter than before. I hope everyone understands! We compiled a list of trustworthy friends including directors, actors, behind-the-scenes, etc.

You can choose people from the list to shoot, which will make the review easier. We also encourage everyone to go to Taiwan to set up productions, and the tax rebate discount remains unchanged---The Golden Horse Awards will be held as usual this year, but registration for Hong Kong films will not be accepted for the time being. "

He said a bunch of things, very much like that.

This so-called list was also distributed to everyone, and the one on the top was a director named Zhu Yanping. This person is one of the few directors in Taiwan who can make commercial films, and his masterpiece is the "Oolong Yuan" series.

That’s nothing. The key is that most of the people on the list are Taiwanese filmmakers, from production to distribution.

In other words, Hong Kong companies invest money and find Taiwanese to produce. This may guarantee the Taiwanese market,

but the Hong Kong market cannot be guaranteed. They are here to make money from Taiwan, not to help Taiwan develop its film industry!

After Sun Wenzhi finished speaking, he began to toast each table.

Well, just three tables.

When it was Zhang Jianting’s turn, he hurriedly asked: “Mr. Sun, can I be included in this list? We are all blackmailed by the leftists and don’t know the true identity of Legendary Pictures. I have always been loyal to Taiwan!”

“I have investigated your situation and it is true.”

Sun Wenzhi nodded and said: “But this matter needs to be cautious. We need to go through some investigation before we can re-list you as friendly people.”

“How to investigate?” Zhou Runfa also asked.

“It’s simple! You need to show your enthusiasm, participate in activities, and cooperate in filming promotional films———.”

Puff!

Cen Jianxun almost laughed when he heard it next to him.

How is this different from freedom?

First of all, you have to pay! The money is in place, and then you can attend the Double Tenth Cocktail Party, visit Taiwan to entertain the troops, and shoot a movie that smears the mainland. If you do it, you will be included in the list and the movie can be released in Taiwan.

Tong Yuejuan was replaced by Sun Wenzhi, and the party-state is still the same!
