"In short, the future of Hong Kong films is bright, and competition will become more intense. However, with prosperity comes destruction. Just like the change of dynasties, no one can stop it. No, maybe we can make a little effort now and formulate
A set of rules that can avoid the demise of Hong Kong movies, such as prohibiting following trends and shoddy production..." Shi Zhijian talked eloquently.
Shao Daheng, Mr. Qiu, and Zou Wenhuaiwen all listened carefully. Even Zhou Duwen, who had previously laughed at Shi Zhijian's nonsense, became quiet now, for fear of interrupting Shi Zhijian's every sentence.
Everything Shi Zhijian said was a very common opinion in his previous life. For example, he knew better than anyone the consequences of following the trend of movies and shoddy production.
However, it was refreshing to the ears of Shao Daheng and others, and they felt it was extremely insightful.
Shi Zhijian finished all the words he had hidden in his stomach about Hong Kong movies in one breath. Then he took a long breath and felt that his mouth was dry.
So I picked up the red wine in front of me without being polite and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking back, Shi Zhijian saw Shao Daheng and others all looking at him.
Shi Zhijian thought that his drinking posture just now was indecent, so he said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I'm thirsty."
"Since you are thirsty, drink one more glass!"
Mr. Qiu, who had not spoken much from beginning to end, suddenly smiled, took the initiative to pour a glass of red wine for Shi Zhijian, then stood up and handed it to Shi Zhijian.
Mr. Qiu's move made Shao Daheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
Zou Wenhuai and Zhou Duwen opened their mouths wide, as if they were surprised.
Shi Zhijian had already seen that Mr. Qiu must be a big shot, so he stood up quickly, took the glass of wine and said, "Thank you! How can I let you pour me wine?"
Mr. Qiu smiled slightly: "You're welcome! Let's make a good relationship!"
Make a good relationship!
The four characters have a long meaning.
Shi Zhijian didn't hesitate anymore, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
It also gives Mr. Qiu some face.
Mr. Qiu nodded slightly and seemed very satisfied.
After Shi Zhijian drank the wine and sat down again, Shao Daheng motioned for everyone to chat casually. He had other things to do and left first.
So Shao Yifu invited Mr. Qiu to come with him.
Zhou Duwen also hurriedly stood up and said that he was going to have a few words with his colleagues. He also said that he had recently taken over the production department and the workload had increased, and he was reluctantly holding on.
He said it with reluctance, but there was a hint of pride and satisfaction on his face.
Zou Wenhuai didn't point it out. Now that he was on vacation, he could eat and drink as he pleased without having to worry too much.
After everyone left, Shi Zhijian asked Zou Wenhuai, "Who is that Mr. Qiu?"
Zou Wenhuai joked: "Aren't you good at counting? It's been five hundred years since you've known it, and five hundred years since you've known it - how about you calculate whether he is the right one?"
"The surname is Qiu, and Daheng Shao respects him so much. Could it be that----"
A name almost came out of my mouth.
Zou Wenhuai knew that Shi Zhijian had guessed correctly, "Yes, he is Qiu Dewang, the chairman of Far East Group and the boss of Lychee Garden!"
Qiu Dewang,
Founded Far Eastern Bank!
The future boss of ATV TV station!
Competing with Shao Yifu for dominance in Hong Kong, he is known as "the last entertainment tycoon"!
In fact, Qiu Dewang has always wanted to compete with Shaw Brothers for dominance in the film industry. For this reason, in 1964, Qiu Dewang also discussed cooperation intentions with Lu Yuntao, the president of TV and Movies, and wanted to invest in TV and movies to fight against Shaw Brothers.
Unfortunately, before Lu Yuntao could give a reply, a plane crash killed a generation of film tycoons, and Qiu De and his ambition to dominate the silver sea were stopped.
As for the reason why Qiu Dewang was invited to attend the Shaw Brothers event tonight, it was just Shao Yifu's respect for this almost-rival.
Master is lonely!
Same goes for Shao Daheng.
"But A Jian," Zou Wenhuai suddenly stared at Shi Zhijian hard, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top, making Shi Zhijian almost feel embarrassed, and then said: "You always make me admire you with admiration.
!”
"Don't talk about me, I guess Shao Daheng and others were also shocked by you just now."
"Really? Why don't I think so?" Shi Zhijian looked innocent.
Zou Wenhuai rolled his eyes, "Pretend I didn't say anything! Let's go, I'll show you people first!"
"Which one do you know?"
"Are you saying you admire Azai? He is the protagonist today, so of course I want to congratulate him!"
"A withdraw? Millionaire director Zhang withdraw?" Shi Zhijian was stunned, but was pulled over by Zou Wenhuai.
…
In order to buy out "The One-Armed Sword", Shi Zhijian casually said that he was a fan of Zhang Cai. Unexpectedly, Zou Wenhuai took it seriously at this moment and actually introduced Zhang Cai to him.
Shi Zhijian finally met the "idol" Zhang Cai.
Zhang Cai was even more confused than Shi Zhijian.
I have only made three movies before, and each one was worse than the last. How can I still have fans?
Either this fan has a problem with his aesthetics, or he has a problem with his brain.
Zou Wenhuai made an introduction and said that Shi Zhijian was the big buyer who was optimistic about his play and spent 200,000 to buy out "The One-Armed Sword". Only then did Zhang Shecai have a good impression of Shi Zhijian. This fan with mental problems seemed to be still
I am a gambler, and I won this bet.
Shi Zhijian struck while the iron was hot and hugged Zhang Ca deeply and patted each other on the shoulders.
One said: "Thank you!"
One said: "Come on!"
The male and female protagonists of "The One-Armed Sword" are also on the side. The male protagonist is Wang Yu and the female protagonist is Pan Yingzi.
Wang Yu is one of the few male actors of this era who is proud and naturally domineering. Everyone looks like he has a top-down, squinting look, his small mouth is pursed tightly, and one corner of his mouth is turned up.
Spend.
In his previous life, Shi Zhijian admired his appearance as a villain in "Martial Arts", so he shook hands and hugged this domineering actor. He felt that his wrist was strong, and when he patted his back, it was like being hit by a bear's paw, which was very powerful.
.
Now that he has embraced the director and the leading actor, of course the heroine Pan Yingzi cannot be left behind, lest anyone say that Shi Zhijian favors one over the other.
So Shi Zhijian hugged Pan Yingzi again.
In this era, Pan Yingzi is young and beautiful, full of charm and beauty.
What impressed Shi Zhijian deeply was that she starred in "Empress Wu Zetian" and "Empress Da Yu'er" in her previous life. Wu Zetian in them was domineering and Da Yu'er was enchanting.
However, the young Pan Yingzi was still good, with thin skin and tender flesh, and a waist as thin as a willow, so Shi Zhijian couldn't help but hugged her a few more times, blew into her ear and said, "I am your movie fan!"
"
…
After the banquet officially started, first Shao Daheng came to the stage to speak as the boss, and then the main creative staff of "One-Armed Sword" came to the stage to speak collectively.
Of course, the honor of "box office exceeding one million" belongs to Shaw Brothers, and the crown of "million-dollar director" belongs to Chang Sa.
As the buyer of this drama, Shi Zhijian is not qualified to speak on stage.
Because most people don't know that there is such a secret behind this million-dollar box office movie.
Off stage.
Zheng Shaoqiu looked at the stage with excitement on his face, looking like a child who had never seen the world.
Shi Zhijian drank wine with his legs crossed, and he applauded when others applauded. When others spoke on stage, he listened and seemed normal.
For Shao Daheng, Zou Wenhuai, Zhou Duwen and others, as long as they are not fools, they will definitely not steal the limelight on such occasions, especially the inside story of the drama "One-Armed Sword".
but----
After Zhou Duwen finished speaking on the stage on behalf of the producer, Shi Zhijian drank the wine in his glass and stood up.
Suddenly, everyone looked at him.
Shi Zhijian's sudden action of standing up was too abrupt.
Zheng Shaoqiu, who was sitting next to him, was even more shocked and looked at Shi Zhijian with a confused look on his face.
I saw Shi Zhijian smelling of alcohol, as if he had drunk too much, moved his neck, pinched his navy blue tie, and then stepped onto the stage.
What is he going to do?
Shao Daheng narrowed his eyes.
Zou Wenhuai was startled. A Jian couldn't be drunk. Why did he get on stage?
In full view of everyone, Shi Zhijian came on stage, reached out to take the microphone from Zhou Duwen's hand, and then turned to look at everyone.
The crowds in the audience were all prominent figures or celebrities in Hong Kong.
Shi Zhijian took a deep breath, stood proudly on the stage, stood under the spotlight, faced the crowd, and scenes of people in Shik Kip Mei having no food or water came to mind.
"How can you live without water?"
"We will die of thirst!"
"No one cares about us poor people!"
On the corridor of Shek Kip Mei, eight thousand families were waiting in a long queue, carrying buckets and washbasins. The queue was so long that it snaked through the entire high-rise building.
Shi Zhijian pursed his lips, looked at the audience, his eyes were red, and said: "I only want to say one thing - people from Shik Kipwei, please drink water!"
