Chapter 36 Discussion

Don't be hurt by bitterness

No need to find the truth

Even if the world is not going well

Must go straight

Success depends on

Amid Alan Tam's slightly immature singing, Chen Chong sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, rumbling around with a magazine, while Zhang Aijia leaned against him, held the newspaper, and quietly read a film review.

"This movie "Love at Dawn" is like a green rutaku spring brewed with a glass cup. It is pleasing to the eyes, tastes the heart, is fresh and elegant, and has endless aftertaste..."

"This must be a soft article written by an acquaintance."

Zhang Aijia asked without raising her head, "What is soft article?"

"Soft means softness and softness." Chen Chong pointed her smooth forehead with his hands and said with a smile: "Soft article is an article that specifically pleases women."

"Nonsense" Zhang Aijia sneered, threw the newspaper away, and squeezed into his arms, complaining: "I asked you to promote my movie yesterday, so you can go and talk about what Taiwanese romance movies are out of date. Now, there are only three newspapers in Hong Kong that have published film reviews. The rest are either talking about your investment in the mainland, or you think you look down on Taiwanese movies."

"How could I say I couldn't look at Taiwanese movies?"

"Taiwan has no other movies except romance movies. You can't look down on romance movies, but you just look down on Taiwanese movies."

"Is there any war movie in Taiwan?"

"Compared with the mainland war films, Taiwan's war films are children playing house. Whether it is the scene or the scale, they are far behind, and they are not as competitive as romance films."

"Then there is nothing I can do. If you want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry. Taiwan's romance films are really rustic, bloody and boring now. I just told the truth."

"You are the chairman of the jury of the Academy Awards, how can you speak nonsense?"

This is what I said in an interview last night. "Daily Film News" has just been aired...

Chen Chong laughed, he put down the magazine, turned off the recorder, lowered his head and asked, "Are you striking indirectly?"

Zhang Aijia looked up at him, her eyes circulated, and asked back, "What do you think?"

"You should be no problem for the Best New Director of the Academy Awards next year, but it is very difficult to win the award."

“How difficult?”

"The winning rate is probably no more than 10. There are too many new directors this year, and they are all powerful figures." Chen Chong played with her hair and said mercilessly: "Not to mention Taiwan and the mainland, just Hong Kong, Weng Weiquan's "Industry Rules", Fang Yuping's "Father and Son Love", and Tan Jiaming's "Famous Sword" are all highly praised. And it's only August, and there are still many new directors in the remaining four months. The plot of "Love at Dawn" is simple, and the director doesn't have much room to play. It's even more difficult to win the award if you want to win the award.

Zhang Aijia was stunned for a while after hearing this, then gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly: "When "Love at Dawn" comes off the line, I will go to the crew of "Golden Branches and Jade Leafs". I must make a good movie this year."

"It is basically impossible for a yellow plum drama film like "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" to win performance awards."

"I signed a contract with China Film Studio. I must shoot this movie. After the filming is finished, I will pick a good book."

"You're working very hard."

"Who made you make the trophy so beautiful?" Zhang Aijia was flirting with him and said angrily: "Also, why do you always invest in new people as directors? You can't invest in a few old guys filming?"

"Who watches the old guy? Look at the box office review of last week's movies published in Ming Pao. Zhang Che's "Iron Flag Gate" was released for a week and the box office was less than 1 million, so it's just a big shot. It's sad that the hero is old and it's heartbreaking. I'll give him a lifetime achievement award next year."

"The newcomer may not be very good. Tsui Hark, who you value very much, not only has his "Hell No Way" not only has bad box office, but has also been criticized as crazy. He has become obsessed with innovation."

"This year, the word "door" may not be popular. Anyone with the door in the name of the video will be unlucky."

"Hell No Door" is Tsui Hark's second movie. It was released in early April 19RU. During the period of the Academy Awards, in addition to the award ceremony, the Academy Awards also have various seminars and fan exchange meetings. Of course, Chen Chong, a big guy like Tsui Hark, would like to win, so he specially held a movie-watching exchange meeting for "Hell No Door". Unfortunately, this movie is too cruel and dark, and its style and thoughts are very different from traditional mainstream movies. Whether it is a movie fan or an insider, it is not highly praised.

In the first few years of the Hong Kong New Wave, almost all participants had cynical ideas, which led to the extreme and weird film style, which was incompatible with mainstream culture, and the box office and reputation were average. But on the other hand, these movies also had many refreshing highlights in addition to the extreme and weirdness, and even some creativity and ideas were still extraordinary after decades. "Hell No Way" belongs to this type of work, and its external stories and inner thoughts were still very outstanding even in the 1st century.

If there was no interruption, Zhang Aijia would probably meet Tsui Hark until the Golden Horse Awards ceremony at the bottom of 198l, and then joined the New Art City and made many movies for Tsui Hark, including the film studio's entrepreneurial work "Shanghai Night"...

By the way, New Art City was almost established in August this year. The entrepreneurial work was created from Jiahe, "The Funny Age" filmed by John Woo with a pseudonym, but now "The Tail of the Tiger" is a big hit worldwide. John Woo is a hot celebrity in Jiahe, and Mai Jia shouldn't be able to invite him...

The butterfly's wings flicked, completely disrupting history. I don't know what movies will be made of in the New Art City...

Chen Chong and Zhang Aijia chatted for a while, stood up and wandered around the room, went to the study, went to the kitchen, went downstairs, went upstairs, walked around, looked around, seemed to be an ant on a hot pan, and could not stay in one place for five minutes.

"What are you going around? I feel dizzy when I turn around." Zhang Aijia sighed loudly and said, "If you can't stay at home, just go to the company.

"It's really strange. When you are busy, you always want to rest, but when you are resting, you feel uncomfortable all over." Chen Chong stood outside the window and said, "People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. They are famous and they are even troublesome to go out to play. The reporters have not left yet... Unfortunately, it's too hot today, so it's not suitable to play golf."

"Okay, it's your golf level, don't be embarrassed." Zhang Aijia stood up and said, "I'll help you find a set of clothes. You can go to the company. Come back before U-clock in the evening and the seat will start at 7 o'clock."

This villa is Zhang Aijia’s official residence in Hong Kong. According to customs, the joy of moving house needs to be celebrated. On the one hand, let relatives and friends know their address, and on the other hand, in order to open up social circles, it was just a while ago that Shen Chong was away and he didn’t do it. Now that he is back, it’s the weekend, so he made an appointment with a few acquaintances to have a dinner party in the evening.

"Forget it, it's almost 3 o'clock, what can I do when I go to the company?" Chen Chong looked at his watch and said, "I asked Vivian to send some documents and I'll look at it at home."

"Whatever you want."

Chen Chong then called and ordered: "Vivian, send the list of freshmen recruited by the Hong Kong Film and Culture Center and the opening plan of Jiayi TV Music Station to Kowloon Tong, and also bring the information clippings of the Hong Kong film industry in the past two months."

"OK."

Apple is preparing to go public...

Atari is suing Activision Games...

Ga is selling in full swing...

IHN is looking for a system for p...

Reagan is running for president...

Chen Chong had countless businesses and things to be busy across the ocean, but he insisted on staying in Hong Kong and did not go to the United States until September, just for two things.

The first thing is that the first batch of students officially recruited by the Hong Kong Film and Culture Center will start classes on September 1. This is the movie "Whampoa Military Academy" he created. At least he will show his face and say a few words to show his presence at the beginning of school. The preparations for the "Hong Kong Film Arts and Industry College" are far beyond expectations. This year will not be completed and can only be listed next year. Therefore, this first class of students still uses the brand of the Hong Kong Film and Culture Center, but the teaching location has been moved to Qingshui Bay.
