In the banquet hall, the lights are bright, and handsome men and beautiful women can be seen everywhere, but if you look closely, you will find that these handsome men and beautiful women are not the protagonists of this party at all.
The real protagonists are middle-aged men and women who are a little older and not so particular about their appearance, as well as some older people.
"Tonight's party was held by WJ. Basically everyone from Taiwan's film industry is here. You see, that person is Mei Changling, the general manager of Taiwan Film. "BB Warriors" was supervised by him.
The people next to him are Bai Jingrui, the famous political propaganda film director in Taiwan, and Ding Shanxi, the director of "BB Warriors".
Shangguan Tao stood beside Chu Huan and introduced to Chu Huan the officials, directors, actors, etc. present.
When Chu Huan was sizing them up, they were also sizing up Chu Huan. Some of them knew Chu Huan, some didn't, but after being introduced by people around them, they soon learned Chu Huan's identity.
"Haha, who did I think it was? It turns out to be Mr. Chu, the boss of Xiangjiang Black and White Video!"
Yang Benkui walked up to Chu Huan with a smile on his face. After Shangguan Chen saw Yang Benkui, he said coldly.
"Yang Toukui, what do you want to do?"
"Professor Liu, what can I do?" Yang Shikui said with a smile, "On behalf of Taiwan's film businessmen, I would like to welcome Director Chu. However, I haven't seen Director Chu in Taiwan in the past month or so.
It’s a black and white movie, I thought black and white movies were ready to withdraw from Taiwan’s film market!”
Shangguan Tu's current official status is that of a professor at Shuimu University in Taiwan. In addition, Shangguan Tu was originally his pen name, so there is no problem for Yang Tokui to call him Professor Liu.
Chu Huan looked with interest at Yang Toukui, who looked like a scholar, but actually had nothing to do with a scholar.
Even though Chu Huan didn't know much about the history of Hong Kong and Taiwan's entertainment industry, he knew that this person would be quite a famous figure in Taiwan's entertainment industry in the future.
There are always media reports that entertainment stars in Hong Kong are willing to recognize their father and mother, but in fact the entertainment industry in Taiwan is also good at this.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Let’s just say that the Yang Tukui in front of me was the godfather of a famous couple in Taiwan in later generations. Her sister married Wang Jiangnan, the fourth young master in the capital at that time. However, she had just divorced around the time when Chu Huan was reborn, and then it was revealed that she was married to Wang Jiangnan.
Members of a has-been boy band in South Korea got together. The younger sister is known for her sharp tongue and is determined to join a rich family. Only she knows what life in a rich family is like.
Moreover, it is rumored that this person is also closely connected with the society in Taiwan. He was born in the society in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. He was able to obtain the qualification of a film producer in Taiwan only because he killed the owner of a theater chain in Kaohsiung at that time.
What Chu Huan didn't expect was that such a community figure seemed to not pay attention to Shangguan Tao, a true disciple of Taiwan Island, right now?
"Brother Shangguan, it seems that your influence in Taiwan is not good. What kind of cats and dogs dare to scream in front of you now?"
Although Chu Huan knew that Yang Shikui's power in Taiwan was not weak, to be honest, he really didn't take him seriously. If he reached Chu Huan's level and even a Taiwanese society member would take it to heart,
That would really be too much of a favor to the other party.
Facing Chu Huan's sarcasm, Shangguan Tao smiled bitterly and said, "I can't help it. I was giving face to his owner, but this dog thought he could really get on the stage!"
When Yang Shikui heard that Chu Huan and Shangguan Chen were teasing him like this, he suddenly became angry. However, thinking of the occasion here, he suppressed the anger in his heart and put on a smile again.
"Ah, I forgot, Chu Dong's black and white video is currently being banned by our Taiwan Film Market. Is this time you come here to seek peace?"
Chu Huan looked at Yang Shikui calmly and said with a smile, "I believe there will always be a way to solve the problem of black and white images in Taiwan, but I can guarantee now that from now on, your film company's movies will not be produced in Taiwan except Taiwan."
You can’t even get out!”
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although black-and-white movies are banned by Taiwan, apart from Taiwan, black-and-white movies are still the largest film company in Southeast Asia. According to common sense, even black-and-white movies are
Having been banned by Taiwan, Taiwanese filmmakers should not dare to yell at Chu Huan like Yang Shikui, but now Yang Shikui just does this.
Yang Shikui was able to grow from a community figure and finally become one of the top five businessmen in Taiwan in the 1980s. His mind was definitely not that simple.
Chu Huan thought this Yang Shikui was somewhat interesting.
When Yang Shikui heard Chu Huan's words, his expression changed slightly, but then he laughed and said, "Dr. Chu, you have such a strong tone. I just don't know if what you said, Mr. Chu, can really be fulfilled!"
Speaking of this, Yang Shikui made a surprised expression and said with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Chu, I forgot to introduce you to two friends. I think if Mr. Chu can meet me in Taipei,
Friends in Xiangjiang will definitely be very happy, right?"
After finishing speaking, Yang Toukui waved, and the two men walked over among the crowd, with triumphant smiles on their faces.
After Chu Huan saw these two people, he looked at Shangguan Tao beside him with a calm expression.
"Dr. Chu, it's really been a long time since we last met!"
Luo Wei and Wang Yu appeared in front of Chu Huan in suits.
Whether they are people in the Hong Kong film industry or those in the Taiwanese film industry, they all know that Chu Huan has explicitly banned black and white videos of him, and Shangguan Tao has also spoken out on the Taiwanese side.
Now that Yang Toukui actually called these two people here on such an occasion, he was really showing off to Chu Huan!
"Director Chu, our Dengkui Pictures has decided to invest in a movie starring Luo Wei's director Wang Yu this year. I wonder what Director Chu thinks of this matter?"
With a smile on his face, Chu Huan said, "I don't think I've seen it very much. I think there's no way this movie will be released!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Shikui shook his head and smiled and said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint you, Mr. Chu, this time. I think this movie will not only be released in Taiwan, but also
It will be shown in Hong Kong!"
Chu Huan shook his head, and then said to Shangguan Qin, "If tonight is full of people who don't know how high the sky is, then I really have no idea about the party tonight!"
"No matter what kind of place there are, there will always be a few people like this!" Shangguan Tao said to Chu Huan, "But don't worry, Ah Huan, there are more filmmakers in Taiwan who really hope that you, Ah Huan, can come to Taiwan often."
Let’s walk around the island!”
"Ha ha!"
Just after Shangguan Tao finished speaking, a burst of laughter broke the deadlock. At the same time, everyone at the ball who had been observing the situation turned their attention to the person who made the laughter.
An old man about sixty years old, wearing a long gown, came over.
When Shangguan Chen saw this person, his face changed slightly and he whispered in Chu Huan's ear, "This is the director of Taiwan WJ, and he has a great influence in Taiwan's political circles!"
Naturally, it is too big. If it were not big, it would not be possible to preside over the ban on black and white images despite Shangguan Qin's manipulation.
After Yang Benkui saw the other party approaching, the arrogance in his expression disappeared instantly. Instead, he stood aside with a respectful expression, much like Ma Zai after meeting his boss.
Chu Huan looked at Yang Shikui's appearance and instantly understood why he was so arrogant. He was appointed as the director of WJ in Taiwan. He did have a reason to be arrogant.
"I've heard of Director Chu's name a long time ago, and today I saw that he is indeed a young hero!"
As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand to Chu Huan. Chu Huan also extended his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Director, you are joking. I should call you Lao Dang Yizhuang!"
The old man smiled and said, "I know about Chairman Chu's visit to Taiwan this time. How about we find a room and have a good chat?"
This was the purpose of Chu Huan's visit to Taiwan. No one thought that Chu Huan would refuse this matter, but Chu Huan Pianpian refused this matter.
"Mr. Director, I just told this Yang Shikui that their company's movies will definitely not be released outside of Taiwan. What do you think of this matter?"
Chu Huan's words added a bit of tension to the already silent atmosphere at the party.
Everyone in the Taiwanese film industry knows that Yang Toukui belongs to the Director. Without this Director, Yang Toukui would not have become a big player in the Taiwanese film industry in just two years.
Old, but now Chu Huan actually involves Yang Shikui in front of so many people.
Everyone thought that Chu Huan must have hit the iron plate this time.
"I thought that Chu Huan came here this time to solve the black and white image issue, but I didn't expect that Chu Huan didn't even understand the issues on Taiwan Island. It seems that the war between Taiwan Film and Xiangjiang Film will continue!
"
In the crowd, two young girls stood together, one with a gentle temperament and the other with an ethereal temperament. Wherever they stood, they were the most beautiful girls at the party.
These two girls are also well-known beauties in Taiwan. The euphemistically named Zhang Aijia is the goddess of literary and artistic films in Taiwan and is the goddess in the eyes of many talented people in Taiwan.
In the early years, Zhang Aijia entered the Hong Kong film industry on her own. She was an artist in Jiahe in the early years, but later she was not very interested in commercial films in Hong Kong, so she returned to Taiwan. Among them, she participated in the movie "The Eight Hundred Heroes".
Originally in another time and space, during this period, Zhang Aijia was always suppressed by Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao in the Hong Kong film industry. However, Lin Qingxia has not yet debuted in Taiwan, and she was brought to Hong Kong by Chu Huan to develop.
, Lin Fengjiao was also taken by Li Hanxiang to participate in the filming of "A Dream of Red Mansions" because of Chu Huan's appearance. As a result, she met Cheng Long in advance.
Then he stayed in Xiangjiang.
Without Shuanglin's suppression, Zhang Aijia is now Taiwan's top artistic film goddess.
As for the other girl with an ethereal temperament, her appearance alone is several levels higher than Zhang Aijia. In fact, she also has the title of the number one goddess in Taiwan.
In the era when Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao were both in Taiwan, this girl could be called the number one goddess in Taiwan, which shows her level of beauty.
And this person is called Hu Yinmeng.
Hu Yinmeng became popular in the Taiwanese film industry in 1974 when she participated in "Unknown Place".
However, because this heroine studied in North America in her early days, it can be said that she was deeply influenced by the openness of North America. Her own personality was completely contrary to the ethereal temperament she gave people when she stood there. She was quite bold and unrestrained. Later, she quit the Taiwanese film industry and followed Taiwan.
After the divorce, the man from the island even wrote a memoir of his own. The scale of it was astonishing!
The person who just expressed his opinion was Zhang Aijia.
Hu Yinmeng stood next to Zhang Aijia, looking at Chu Huan standing and confronting the old man, her eyes glowed, and she said, "So handsome!"
Zhang Aijia naturally knew Hu Yinmeng. When Hu Yinmeng said this, she knew what the other party was thinking. She smiled and said, "Chu Huan is famous for being a playboy in Xiangjiang. The women around him are more beautiful than the others. Look at Qingxia."
You know, be careful not to pull it out if you see it in your eyes!"
Hu Yinmeng said indifferently, "Have you never heard that the brilliance of fireworks only lasts for a moment?"
Zhang Aijia was really stunned and said, "Don't mess around. Didn't you see that Chu Huan is tit for tat with us now? You also know who Yang Benkui is. If you let him know that you and Chu Huan have an affair,
What's the relationship? Who knows what he or she has done?"
Hu Yinmeng still looked unconcerned and said, "You have stayed in Xiangjiang before. Don't you think Chu Huan is really such a reckless person?"
Zhang Aijia asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
Hu Yinmeng whispered, "Chu Huan came to Taipei this time, obviously because of the black and white video matter. Logically speaking, he should have discussed this matter with the director. Even if he wanted to have a falling out, he should have done it before
It's only right to have a falling out when the terms between the two parties have not been agreed upon.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But now it is obviously the first time for the two to meet, and Chu Huan is acting so strong. I guess, Chu Huan must have someone to rely on.
You will do this, otherwise it would not make sense at all.
As for Yang Shikui, I don’t believe that Zhang Aijia really regards him as a person. Such a person doesn’t even understand his own identity, so he rushes out to be cannon fodder. I really think that no matter what kind of circle he is, he
Is this what their club does?"
Outsiders may see Zhang Aijia as just an ordinary artist, but in fact Zhang Aijia’s background is quite profound.
Her grandfather was once the immediate boss of the old man who was currently confronting Chu Huan, and the former director of WJ in Taiwan.
However, my health is not very good now, so I have retired, but my influence in Taiwan is still quite large, especially in the Taiwan film industry.
As for Hu Yinmeng, although her family background is not as good as that of Zhang Aijia, her father was once a member of the Taiwanese parliament.
Both of them can be regarded as proper disciples!
Now Yang Shikui really doesn't dare to provoke them.
Zhang Aijia said, "I just don't want to be troublesome!"
Hu Yinmeng continued to look at Chu Huan curiously, and said with a smile, "Look, there will definitely be a good show next."
The old man obviously didn't expect that Chu Huan would suddenly say this, and his face was slightly ugly.
When Yang Shikui saw this, he immediately said angrily, "Chu Huan, what do you mean?"
Chu Huan didn't even look at Yang Benkui, but just looked at the old man with a smile and said, "Since it's hard for Mr. Director to answer, forget it. I just have something else to do today, so I'll leave first!"
At this time, Chu Huan had not even officially entered the banquet hall, but he actually mentioned that he wanted to leave here. This made everyone present who thought that Chu Huan came here to ask for peace showed expressions of surprise.
Are you here to seek peace? Or are you here to stir up trouble?
This old gentleman is famous for his bad temper in Taiwan. How could he endure Chu Huan's behavior now?
"It's over, it's over, I'm afraid there's really no way to end it this time!" Zhang Aijia said helplessly.
It is precisely because she once stayed in Hong Kong that Zhang Aijia understands more about the gap between Taiwanese movies and Hong Kong movies at this time. She hopes to use Xiangjiang movies to promote Taiwanese movies, and Chu Huan came to Taiwan this time
, in Zhang Aijia’s view, it is actually a good opportunity.
If Chu Huan can reconcile with Taiwan's film industry this time and the two parties deepen the exchanges between films, it will definitely be an improvement for Taiwan's film market.
But if a settlement is not reached, then based on what I heard about Chu Huan’s character in Xiangjiang, he will definitely unite with the entire Southeast Asian film industry to suppress Taiwanese films. Whether Taiwanese films can continue to survive by then will be a question.
A big question mark.
"Don't worry, if you can't make a movie, you can do something else. Why do you have to hang yourself from a tree!" Hu Yinmeng said nonchalantly.
Zhang Aijia looked helpless.
The old man looked at Chu Huan coldly. Just when everyone thought he was going to get angry, the old man suddenly laughed and said, "I think what Director Chu said is wrong."
This is more serious than being directly angry. It is obvious that he is really angry towards the old man.
"Not only can Dengkui Films' movies not be released outside of Taiwan, they can't even be released in Taiwan. That's right!"
Wow!
Everyone in the banquet hall showed incredible expressions at this time. No one thought that the old man would say this?
What about the tense situation that was promised?
How could the old man suddenly follow Chu Huan's wishes?
"This, this, what is going on?" Zhang Aijia looked in Chu Huan's direction in disbelief, wondering why things were like this?
Hu Yinmeng did not answer Zhang Aijia, but the look in her eyes became brighter and brighter. In her eyes, Chu Huan at this time was like a perfect prey that couldn't be more perfect!
Yang Shikui, who was standing next to the old man, was the least able to accept this. What Chu Huan did had definitely touched Taiwan's red line. However, he still didn't know if Chu Huan had anything wrong with him, but he was very likely because of it.
With such words from the old man, the opportunity to gain a foothold in this industry was completely lost.
"Director"
"Shut up, you useless thing. I asked you to entertain Director Chu well. Is this how you greet me?"
The old man reprimanded Yang Toukui unceremoniously.
Luo Wei and Wang Yu stood there blankly, unable to believe what was happening in front of them. They thought that Chu Huan would dig his own grave this time and would be taken advantage of by the Taiwan Film Market, but they did not expect that now
His own backer fell first.
Yang Shikui's Dengkui Pictures was unable to release movies in Taiwan, so their film career was naturally blocked again.
Not only them, but even Shangguan Gu next to Chu Huan was a little confused at this time.
what's the situation?
Obviously before they had dinner, Chu Huan was still unsure about the outcome of this visit to Taiwan. Why did it suddenly change now?
However, Shangguan Tao, after all, knew more than everyone present, and he quickly thought of the person who came with Chu Huan. Could it be that the deal had been settled over there.
Yang Benkui, Luo Wei, and Wang Yu left the party in disgrace, and the old man once again extended an invitation to Chu Huan, "Director Chu, can we have a good talk now?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Of course!"
So the two of them left the banquet hall in full public view and went to the private room next door to discuss.
Zhang Aijia had already dragged Hu Yinmeng to Shangguan Chen's side. They were both second generation, so Zhang Aijia naturally knew Shangguan Chen.
"Brother Hui, what on earth is going on?"
Shangguan Chen is ten years older than Zhang Aijia, so Zhang Aijia calls him Brother Hui.
Shangguan Qin smiled and said, "What's going on?"
Zhang Aijia said dissatisfiedly, "Just now, why did the director suddenly adopt such an attitude?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shangguan Tao did not tell Zhang Aijia his guess, "He certainly has his reasons for such an attitude."
Zhang Aijia saw that Shangguan didn't want to say anything, so she changed her approach and asked, "Will black and white images still be banned in Taiwan?"
Shangguan Qin chuckled and said, "Now that we are in this situation, do you think the ban on black and white images will still be there?"
Zhang Aijia nodded and said, "Probably not."
Later, other people who wanted to get acquainted with Shangguan Tu came over and asked for the specific reasons for the incident. Shangguan Tu, who had not told Zhang Aijia the reason, naturally could not tell them.
I just shirk myself and don’t know the specific situation.
In the banquet hall, the atmosphere began to become a little strange. Although there were still groups of people chatting together in twos and threes, everyone's eyes were fixed on the door of the banquet hall, wanting to see when Chu Huan and the old man would come back together.
They really wanted to know why this happened.
Although many people also understand that even if the two of them come back together, they may not be able to know the reason.
Half an hour later, Chu Huan and the old man returned to the banquet hall together again, but they did not announce anything. They just smiled and exchanged greetings with each other, and then separated.
Shangguan Tao also came to Chu Huan's side and said with a complicated expression, "Is the matter settled?"
Chu Huan nodded and said easily, "It's settled!"
Shangguan Qin couldn't help but asked, "Is it because of that North American volunteer?"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "It's all thanks to him who is 70 years old!"
The person who came to Taiwan with Chu Huan was actually Ma Jizu, a congressman who had developed in North America over the years. He was considered one of the most important cooperative volunteers of Chu Huan's Jiaku Department in North America.
For a reward of one million US dollars, the other party happily flew from North America to Hong Kong, and then flew with Chu Huan from Hong Kong to Taiwan.
Then what everyone thought was impossible to solve was easily solved just because of his arrival!
Shangguan Tu shook his head and sighed, "It's so sad!"
Chu Huan patted Shangguan Qian's shoulder and did not comfort him. What else could this be if it wasn't sad and deplorable!
Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Chen said, "Forget it, don't think about this kind of thing anymore. Thinking about it too much will just make people speechless."
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Just be more open-minded!"
Shangguan Chen suddenly whispered angrily, "What the hell?"
Chu Huan joked, "Why do I feel like you still don't want my matter to be resolved?"
Shangguan said, "I hope it can be solved, but I don't want it to be solved in this way!"
"Director Chu!"
While Chu Huan and Shangguan Zhen were chatting, Zhang Aijia came over again with Hu Yinmeng.
Chu Huan's eyes instantly lit up when she saw Hu Yinmeng. The most beautiful woman in Taiwan is now at the peak of her beauty.
"Miss Zhang, Miss Hu!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
This time it was Hu Yinmeng who smiled and asked Chu Huan, "Does Chairman Chu know me too?"
Chu Huan stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Of course, I have seen all the movies played by Miss Hu, and Miss Hu will be signing autographs soon!"
Hu Yinmeng also stretched out her hand to shake Chu Huan's hand and said, "Really, that's my honor!"
Chu Huan felt Hu Yinmeng's fingers passing between her palms.
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
Then Chu Huan said to Zhang Aijia, "Miss Zhang, I just saw you. Fang Jianhui from the black and white video told me that our company has one of the most important movies to be shot in the second half of this year, and we want to invite Miss Zhang to be the director."
Starring, I wonder if Ms. Zhang will have time then?"
Zhang Aijia did not expect that Chu Huan would actually issue a film contract to her. Now everyone knows that Fang Jianhui is basically responsible for the black and white images. It is obviously important enough for Chu Huan to name a heavyweight movie.
Thinking of her previous desire to cooperate with Chu Huan, Zhang Aijia happily agreed, "Director Chu has spoken in person. If I don't agree, it would be really disrespectful!"
The role of a manly woman is solid!
Chu Huan invited Zhang Aijia to shoot "The Best Partner", the first film that opened the Hong Kong Film Universe.
King Kong and the bald old man are already there, and now there is also a tomboy. As long as Mecca and Huang Baiming finish polishing the script, filming can begin.
"Dr. Chu, can you tell me how you solved the problem between the black and white images and the Taiwan authorities?"
Although Hu Yinmeng thought that Chu Huan should have a way to solve the problem at hand, she was still very curious about how Chu Huan solved it.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Taiwan's development requires economic promotion, and funds can solve many problems in this area!"
This is the reason why Chu Huan solved the remaining 30 problems.
When Chu Huan came up with another 5 million Hong Kong dollars, many of the problems really ceased to be problems.
As Shangguan Tu said, such a solution is actually pathetic for Taiwan!
But Chu Huan definitely doesn't care about these things, just solve them!
