In 1982, two senior executives of Rolling Stone Records left due to differences in their ideas and founded Flying Saucer Records.

The first album was written by Tao Dawei, who is Tao Zhe's father. Later, Su Rui, Wang Jie, Little Tigers, Zhang Yusheng, Jiang Yuheng, etc. were released. At that time, Taiwan's music scene was known as: There are rolling stones on the ground and flying saucers in the sky!

The two companies worked together to support the Chinese music industry. At that time, the album sales were less than 50,000, and the company could terminate the contract. 100,000 was the passing mark. In the future, if the album sold 50,000, it would have to be celebrated with lights and decorations.

.

Su Rui is 32 years old this year. She made her debut very early. In 1976, she signed a contract with a Hong Kong company to sing English songs, but she has always been tepid. Last year, she switched to UFO and saw a bright future.

Because "The Wrong Ride" has an original soundtrack, she sang all the songs, including "If the Wine Is Sold," "Same Moonlight," "Please Follow Me," etc. As the movie is about to be released, the record will also be released.

This soundtrack features top musicians including Liang Hongzhi, Li Shouquan, and Luo Dayou, and Su Rui feels that she is going to become popular.

She can sing in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. She has a wide vocal range, a strong voice, and a distinctive style. Besides Teresa Teng, she is the Taiwanese singer who has had the most profound influence on the mainland—La Ying even served as "Su Bing"!

Afternoon.

She first came to the UFO record.

"There will be a screening of "The Wrong Ride" tonight, and you will be asked to sing a song. The boss from Hong Kong is also coming, so be careful."

"Is this considered a movie promotion or our solo performance?" Su Rui asked.

The company staff understood what she meant and said: "They are very generous. They are willing to pay the performance fee, just treat it as a show (commercial performance). The quality of this soundtrack is super high, but it is a pity that the copyright is not in our hands. We are only an agent for distribution."

"Where's the copyright?"

"What gold-medal record company in Hong Kong, the one that produces "The Voice", a subsidiary of EMI. Hey, do you want to go to "The Voice"?

Can we help you register?"

"I've been living in Hong Kong for 6 years, how embarrassing it is to recognize me!" Su Rui shook her head.

"Forget it, anyway, keep it in your heart. You will definitely be popular this time. From now on, you will be the number one in the show, wearing gold and silver -

Ah, embryo!"

"Don't say this, it's unlucky!"

The two of them shouted in unison, what kind of show is first? Gao Lingfeng, who was first in the previous year, was arrested last year. I heard that he was just released.

My career was all ruined and I was completely in debt.

Soon in the evening, Su Rui came to a restaurant and met the Hong Kong boss.

Also present were Wang Yingxiang, some people from the Taiwanese film industry, and even a low-level official from the Information Bureau. Everyone would be attending the upcoming premiere of "The Wrong Ride."

The chips are stacked, and the night is getting darker.

The bustling streets of Taipei are filled with neon lights and crowds of people. The huge promotional posters of the cinema are still clear under the light. In addition to "The Wrong Ride", there is also a preview poster for a Hollywood film "Devil's Nemesis".

It's called "Ghostbusters" in China.

The translated names in Taiwan are also very interesting. For example, Optimus Prime in "Transformers" is called "Invincible Iron Bull" in Taiwan. Megatron is called "Big Mac" or "The Camel King" in Taiwan.

Su Rui followed a group of people into the cinema, being careful at all times. She knew her position as a singer! They were all big shots. The audience came in one after another. About 70% of the seats were filled, and the seats were obviously empty.

Wang Yingxiang was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "That's what literary and artistic films are like. When word-of-mouth develops, everyone will come."

"It doesn't matter, I have confidence in Boss Wang!"

Zhuang Cheng was tolerant and chatted with the junior official from the Information Bureau again.

The Taiwan market is very awkward right now. The best Hong Kong films cannot enter. Li Lien Lien, Chung Chu Hong, Andy Lau and others who became popular in Hong Kong are blocked in Taiwan and have no reputation at all.

There are few Hong Kong films and local films are not good, so Hollywood naturally occupies the top spot. They are all "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "ET". Only Cheng Long in Hong Kong can beat the list.

In the 1980s, Taiwan implemented a quota system for Hollywood films, but Hollywood still held a dominant position. After liberalization in the 1990s, it became even more unimpeded.

Not long after, "The Wrong Ride" was screened.

Zhuang Cheng has never seen the finished film, and it was his first time watching it today.

The story begins in the 1960s. There is a military dependents' village on Xinyi Road in Taipei. Every family lives in a wooden house. Sun Yue plays a veteran named Uncle Dumb, who rides a three-wheeled car every day to collect rags.

If you sell dry wine, in Mandarin it would be: "Collect the empty bottles!"

Uncle Dumb picked up an abandoned baby girl, Ami.

The little girl became his comfort in his miserable life, making him pee every time he pooped. The movie depicts a group of military dependents' villages, including bad gamblers, some doing small business, and some young people who have changed their minds and are determined to go out and make a living.

With the social changes in Taiwan, there are joys and sorrows,

In the early 1980s, Ami signed a contract with a company to become a singer, and the military village was demolished.

The company wanted to package her up and prevent her from returning to that poor home. Father and daughter had not seen each other for a long time. Later, Uncle Dumb was seriously ill and was hospitalized, but Ami was giving a concert. The neighbor's sister-in-law ran to find her, but she rushed to the hospital but could not see her.

Uncle Mute’s last appearance, Uncle Mute is already dead.

The most important thing is that the concert is not over yet, her father has died, and she has to go back and continue singing.

This kind of plot has no logic. It is just for the sake of sensationalism. It is not much better than making dumplings. But in this era, it can make people cry. Finally, Ami returned to the stage and sang the song "If the wine is dry, there is no sale."

》:

"Without heaven there is land, without land there is no home, without home there is no you, without you there is no me!"

"If the wine is sold for nothing! If the wine is sold for nothing!" She sang heartbreakingly on the stage, and the audience on the screen was all moved.

The audience outside the screen was even more deeply immersed in it, with red eyes and even crying "Ming Ming Ming" holding handkerchiefs.

"The Wrong Ride" was the first Taiwanese film introduced to the mainland that year. It was first launched in Fujian and became very popular, becoming another cultural imprint of reform and opening up. It was later remade into two TV series, one starring Li Xuejian and Yin Tao, and the other one starring Li Xuejian and Yin Tao.

Played by Ma Shaohua and Guan Xiaotong.

....

Zhuang Cheng watched the film and listened to the audience roaring and crying, while remaining polite and moved.

He doesn't understand why Taiwanese audiences like to watch this kind of film, as if the film industry in this treasure island is in dire straits. Three years ago, Mr. Chen landed in Hong Kong and began his southern expedition. The Chinese film industry will be unified. Wherever he goes,

Here, the people welcome you wholeheartedly, and the state of vigorous vitality and all things competing is still before your eyes!

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

When the screen dimmed and the lights came on, the audience burst into warm applause, showing their love for this movie.

Afterwards, the main creators came on stage to exchange some questions, and Su Rui sang a song "If the wine is dry and sold without", which made some viewers who had not yet left the emotion cry again.

"This singer has great singing skills!"

Zhuang Cheng looked at her a little strangely, and felt very sorry that he was unlucky enough to get on this pirate ship.

As well as all the participants in this film, including the director, actors, distributors, soundtrack producers, Luo Dayou, Li Shouchuan and others - when the vest falls, they will definitely be angry.
Chapter completed!
