1979 Golden Age

"Okay, let's get started!"

Chen Qi said something first and then gave the microphone to Shi Nansheng.

Shi Nansheng is the chief steward of Yindu. He talked about this year's work, next year's film list, future development, the official establishment of the artist management department, etc. He finally said: "In the past, the film industry was very divided. Left went to left and right went to right. Outside, there was no Dare to film with our actors.

This is ridiculous behavior.

We have the best actors with both strength and box office appeal. They are signed by Yindu and Oriental companies.

But we are happy to recommend them to go out and film. I hope that companies will see the situation clearly and stop acting out of old minds. Openness and tolerance are the way to prosperity. "

There was a rustling recording sound below.

Reporters are quite interested in this information. For example, Li Lianlian cannot enter the Taiwan market. The copyrights in Europe, America, Korea and Japan are enough. And Zhong Chuhong, Xiangjiang’s box office is guaranteed, the cost is smaller, and it can still make money at the local box office.

Shi Nansheng continued to talk a few more points and finished introducing the situation in Yindu.

Everyone's eyes turned to Chen Qi, knowing that he had some powerful information, otherwise he would not be worthy of such a battle.

Chen Qi fiddled with the microphone and spoke slowly, but it was also about the work arrangements for this year and next year. He just focused on the cinema chain: "Starting from January 1st next year, the new Shuangnan Cinema Chain will officially operate, with a total of 18 cinemas. theater.

The Oriental Company is building a multiplex theater and will join it once it is completed. As of now, we have 10 films in reserve for the first quarter of next year, which means we can release three new films every month.

In the future, the rotation cycle of new films will accelerate, and it will become less and less common for a film to last for one month or two months. "

The reporters were still recording, but some people couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "Mr. Chen, let's give you some exciting news! You're just talking about theater when you ask so many people, right?"

"Yes, yes! It's enough for you to write articles about these things."

"0K! Let me say something else."

Chen Qiyile paused and said: "In September this year, China and Britain initialed a joint statement on the issue of Hong Kong. The return of Hong Kong is unquestionable. Since it has returned, we will be a family from now on, and I still have to say some things.

I have said on various occasions that Hong Kong films have great potential, but their studio nature is too serious. Hollywood has entered industrialization, but we are still flying paper, and sooner or later we will be swallowed up.

I don’t expect everyone to get it right in one step, but at least do what needs to be done first.

For example, there are various labor unions in Hollywood. I think we should also establish an entertainers union, a directors union, a martial artist union, a screenwriters union, etc. You always say that Hong Kong is about the rule of law. Why do you have to rely on human relationships and rules in the entertainment industry?

Be more formal and don't act like a grassroots team.

I know this is difficult, but I am willing to take the lead and hope that like-minded friends will join us. If a trade union is established and our forces are united, we can open up a larger market.

For example, in mainland China, now that it has confirmed its return, the situation is different. We can coordinate a dialogue between the two parties and be open and honest. Everything depends on communication. If you don’t talk about it, how will you know? Success is the best, failure is okay, the key is to have this organizational action.

There is also Taiwan. Taiwan has been extorting Hong Kong films for decades. It should be changed long ago. We can also organize a dialogue. Before the conversation was finished, a reporter interrupted: "This is just your wishful thinking!"

"Which newspaper do you work for?"

Chen Qi looked at him.

"Hong Kong Times, how about it?"

"I think this can be done, it's not just wishful thinking."

"First of all, you used the word 'blackmail' incorrectly, and we can sue you for defamation! Hong Kong films have always been closely related to Taiwan, and there is no blackmail at all.

Secondly, it is impossible for us to have a dialogue with you. We have many friends in Hong Kong and we do not need you to take the lead. However, thank you for reminding us that the idea of ​​forming an industry association is a good one. "

Reporters are not afraid. After a physical ceasefire between the two sides, all that is left is verbal fighting. This is normal.

Everyone whispered and felt that Chen Qi was out of his mind this time. Even if a trade union is formed, who will follow him if he can't enter Taiwan?

"He mentioned the mainland. Could it be that he wants the mainland to replace the Taiwan market?"

"Is the mainland open?"

"So he said he wanted to talk! Wow, if the mainland opens up, that would be great!"

There was some commotion in the venue. Everyone thought that this was today's theme. The left wanted to take the lead in forming an industrial union.

This is really bold to catch all Hong Kong movies.

"Quiet!"

Chen Qi knocked on the table and smiled at the right-wing reporter: "I think what you said is wrong. Blood on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is thicker than water. Taiwan still cares about us, and there is every chance for dialogue."

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid you are confused!" the reporter sneered.

"No, no, I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. If you don't take care of it, how can you give "The Wrong Ride" six awards?"

Suddenly falling into a very strange silence, he casually said something like a joke, but within two seconds it challenged the brains of all reporters, and their brain nerves were running rapidly, trying to figure out the relationship.

The reporter from "Oriental Daily" swallowed, his mouth moved on its own before his brain could react, and he stammered and asked: "Mr. Chen, can you please explain?"

"Oh, I said thank you to the Golden Horse Awards for giving "The Wrong Ride" six awards."

boom!

When people are overly excited, their body temperature will rise, their face will turn red, and their blood will rush up - as if a little boy fell into Hiroshima, everyone is rising.

"Mr. Chen! Do you mean you were the one who pitched "The Wrong Ride"?"

"Do you have any other dealings with Zhuang Cheng?"

"When did this all start?"

"Legendary Pictures——Ah! There is a strange word!"

Everyone started to engage in metaphysics.

Several right-wing reporters had a fire under their butts. They had stood up a long time ago and shouted wildly with the last hope: "This is impossible! You are lying! This is complete nonsense!"

“You are violating your reputation, we must sue you!

"Don't believe him! He has no certificate——"

The reporter from the "Hong Kong Times" who made the most noise was suddenly stuck and let out a strange scream, like a duck whose neck was suddenly pinched. Because he saw Chen Qi bend down slightly and take out two golden and shiny trophies.

On the slender base stands a galloping war horse with three large red characters printed on it:

Golden Horse Award!

Chen Qi put the trophies in hand and introduced them: "One is for the best picture and the other is for the best screenplay. Unfortunately, I was busy at the time and could not attend in person, but I was deeply moved by the freedom and tolerance of Taiwanese films. .

I take this opportunity today to make up for my acceptance speech. "

"Ha ha!"

Shi Nansheng next to him couldn't help laughing, and the reporter below was dumbfounded again in a short time.

What's the meaning?

Best screenplay? Dongfang Ren? Dongfang Ren is him! ! !
