Chapter 691: At the age of 69, the world will be prosperous
The guests have arrived.
As the top person in charge of left-wing films, Fu Qi took the stage to deliver a speech, which was a beautiful and appropriate speech.
Following Chen Qi, he went up and said directly: "We have already established good relations with the mainland authorities. After the Spring Festival, you will select representatives to form a visiting delegation to Beijing with us to discuss the matter of Hong Kong films going north.
This year’s New Year’s Eve will be late, February 19th, so it will be tentatively scheduled for early March. There is plenty of time. If you have any demands, please draw up a charter first and then discuss them one by one.”
"The second thing! I wrote in my article that in order to standardize the Hong Kong film industry, it is necessary to establish an industry union.
This is a long-term job. But there is one thing that can be done right now. As the only local film award, the Academy Awards need to make some reforms. We will hold a meeting in a week to discuss it in detail."
Shu Qi was excited for a moment. Sure enough! Sure enough!
Chen Qi said two things simply and neatly, then waved his hand to leave the stage, indicating that the banquet would begin.
The banquet hall suddenly became lively, with waiters rushing back and forth, and dishes were brought to the table one after another with a fragrant aroma. Various drinks were placed on each table, but almost no one drank them, and they were not really here to have a banquet today.
Fu Qi and Shi Hui's task is to sit and wait for others to propose a toast.
Fu Mingxian is also here, and the little girl also wants to have some facial expressions. She is very good at pretending to be a lady on important occasions.
More than a dozen round tables were divided into two sides. Chen Qi and Shi Nansheng were holding a glass of wine, each taking one side, and then switching.
Chen Qi came to the first table, which was full of big shots in the film industry. After going through a set of procedures, Fang Yihua said: "Mr. Chen, I don't understand why you insist on setting up a trade union? We are very good like this. What's the use of a trade union?"
"
"For example, now that video tapes are becoming more and more popular, what will happen if someone pirates and distributes our films? One family after another will go to him and file a lawsuit? This is when the usefulness of the union becomes apparent. It can protect our common interests."
"Don't deceive others. I understand the unions in Hollywood. Those actors' unions and screenwriters' unions are specifically against the company. In addition to salary increases, they should also increase salaries. Why should we make it difficult for ourselves? Jiahe doesn't agree with it anyway." He Guanchang said.
"Yeah, yeah, the union is too ahead of its time." Others responded.
"I didn't say do it now, why are you in a hurry? Take your time, we are not going to imitate Hollywood, of course we have to make a system suitable for the local area. We don't need to think about that now. Letting the industry prosper is the last word.
The theaters can be closed to each other for the time being, but the actors, directors, and behind-the-scenes staff must be open. We will have some cooperation in the future! Manager Fang invited Zhong Chuhong to film. Come and let me toast you alone."
Little red guy!
Fang Yihua secretly cursed, didn't you swindle Zhong Chuhong from Shaw Brothers back then? Now I'll spend 500,000 to invite him back.
"Yes, yes, we will cooperate more in the future!" She smiled and took a sip of her wine.
Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao are also at this table.
Chen Qi asked again: "Is "Police Story" ready?"
"It's time to prepare. Thank you for your script." Cheng Long knew how to assess the situation and his attitude was very respectful.
"What will Mr. Hong's next movie be about? Or the Lucky Star series?"
"I'll make whatever I can to make money! Maybe Mr. Chen will give me face and write a script for me." Hung Kam-bo laughed and said that Hong Kong's trend is going to the left, but it does not mean that there is no competition between companies. Hung Kam-bo will not reveal new film plans.
Next year will be a big breakout year for the brothers, with "Lucky Star", "Summer Star" and "Police Story"
It took the top three at the box office, and "Dragon Heart" took the fifth place.
Chen Qidao: "Speaking of which, I really have an idea to ask your brothers and sisters to make a film."
"What movie?"
"It's the type of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." We can shoot in the mainland. There is winter snow in the north, beauty in the south, and desert in the northwest. Let's see if we can create a real blockbuster."
Yo!
The two of them were heartbroken.
It's like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it's an action-adventure with elements of ghosts and ghosts. Mr. Chen is the director, the brothers are carrying the cauldron, and the mountains and rivers of the mainland are magnificent. Wow! Not to mention them, everyone at the same table is thinking about it.
"We'll talk about it after you finish what you're doing, don't be in a hurry."
Chen Qi sat at this table for a few minutes, then got up and went to the next table.
Wherever they went, they all ate pot syrup to welcome Master Wang, and even sang Dongfang Hong together.
"Stop chatting, get up and toast!
At another table, Ti Lung pushed Leslie Cheung.
Leslie Cheung and Alex Man stood up quickly. They are the crew of "A Better Tomorrow". This film is now produced by Legendary Pictures and directed by Huang Tailai. Apart from these three starring roles, the heroine is given to Xia Wenxi.
"Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
Chen Qi clinked his glasses a little, but didn't drink and looked at the people.
Ti Lung is only 38 years old, but he has a vicissitudes of life on his face and his hair is extremely bald. Leslie Cheung is 28 years old and has not made any achievements in movies, but his music scene is already good. "The Wind Keeps Blow" and "Monica" have already been released.
Man Tsz-leung is 27 years old, one year younger than Leslie Cheung, but he looks like he is from the same generation. He is also the most enthusiastic, and he spreads his nice words as if they are free of charge.
When "A Better Tomorrow" came out, Shaw Brothers stopped production, Ti Lung was unemployed, Chow Yun-fa was a box-office hit, and John Woo was also at rock bottom, so it was billed as a turnaround for "three frustrated men".
Now that there is a big change, Chen Qi doesn't have much hope for the box office, as long as he doesn't lose money.
He just wants to sign Leslie Cheung and Man Tsz-leung. The former can make up for the shortcomings of a left-wing handsome young boy, and the latter is born to play the big boss and can enrich his genre.
He directly invited him, and Wan Ziliang didn't even hesitate for a second. He immediately said: "No problem, no problem! I signed a TV contract with TVB. I have admired Mr. Chen for a long time, but I didn't expect to watch "A Better Tomorrow" again and again.
"This is your work, oh my, I'm so happy! I'm willing to serve you!"
Remember!
Chen Qi felt a little numb and nodded: "Okay, you can come to the set tomorrow."
He looked at Leslie Cheung again, who hesitated slightly and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you have any plans for my route?"
"You have suffered a loss in terms of your image. You are still acting in youth movies at your age. This also shows that your acting skills are insufficient. I think you have great potential in acting. I will give you training roles. Of course, there will also be commercial films.
.”
Leslie Cheung's manager is Chen Shufen, but this old lady is not yet in the managerial business. He only has a record contract.
"Can I go over and talk in detail tomorrow?"
"Of course! You should know that there is no company in Hong Kong that can train actors better than us."
Chen Qi patted him on the shoulder and continued running to the next table.
"Coming, coming!"
The man with the gold medal record had been sitting there for a long time, watching Chen Qi come up with a wine glass, and then stood up two meters away. Wang Jie was extremely embarrassed, he couldn't face it but had to face it, groaning.
Follow the crowd and toast.
Zhang Xueyou, Lin Yilian and others were relatively stable. Priscilla Chan was the most excited and wanted to say something.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qi looked at himself and said, "You are so short, are you 160?"
"I, I, I am 158!"
"Those who say they are 158 are usually only 155, because those who really reach 158 will say they are 160!"
"I-you--ah!"
Priscilla Chan was going crazy but didn't dare to have an attack, but Chen Qi was very happy and wanted to rub her head and said with a smile: "Go up and sing a song later, are you ready?"
"I can sing even if I'm not prepared!"
"Well, let's sing the song "Everyone Has a Dream"."
He said a few words casually to Zhang Xueyou and others, turned around and left. This behavior was different in everyone's eyes. Who didn't know that Mr. Chen's praise was very subjective, but he didn't expect that this sister was also in his subjective opinion.
within the range.
Later, he specifically talked to Wen Juan.
I mentioned the Screenwriters Guild. It’s very troublesome to set up other unions, but it’s easy for screenwriters.
Priscilla Chan took the stage to sing, and no one left.
If it is a reception at the Free Association, usually after giving the donation, they will chat with Tong Yuejuan for a few words and then leave. The association is not interested in human affairs and only wants to collect money! Real estate money! Real estate money!
Today, Chen Qi made it clear that he would take everyone to Beijing, discuss Hong Kong films going north, and win awards. Although they are just outsiders, they also understand that the left is really different from the right.
"One person has a dream, two people's love gradually becomes lost, three people have three kinds of love and are looking for their own ideals——
After Chen Qi walked around, he returned to his seat and hummed softly. He looked at the time and it would be 1985 in two hours.
years.
This year Jiazi will be the best, next year Yi will be ugly.
This is exactly what it means: all the virtuous people have arrived, the young and the old have gathered together, and the age of Jiazi will bring good luck to the world!
Chapter completed!
