Chapter 951 Hong Kong films enter Shanghai
With Guangdong experience, Wu Mengchen is easy to do.
Chen Qi was on the sidelines and did not interfere with his planning and operation, but he felt that it was pretty good. On that day, several people had a meal. He mentioned the filming of Lin Guan and planned to hand it over to Tsui Hark or Wang Jing's belt.
These two are masters of beauty photographing.
Guan Zhilin naturally couldn't help but take the initiative to have a glass of wine, which was so white.
Speaking of which, she has few representative works, and Thirteenth Aunt is the most popular. But I don’t know if Tsui Hark can still have the idea of filming "Huang Feihong". After all, with "Tai Chi" in front, Tsui Hark rushed to Hollywood again.
After dinner, Chen Qi ran to visit Gong Xue's parents.
I returned to the hotel at about nine o'clock in the evening. When I first entered the lobby, the front desk suddenly called out: "Mr. Chen, a guest has been waiting for you for a long time, there..."
Um?
Chen Qi turned his head and saw a middle-aged man standing up from the sofa, approaching quickly, and laughing: "Comrade Chen Qi, it's too difficult to wait until you!"
"Who are you?"
The other party did not answer, but took out a business card with the xxxxx office printed on it. The front was full of 404 text.
"Oh! I went to my father-in-law and my mother-in-law's house and came back late. Why did you come here in person? Just call if you have something to do... Could it be that something happened?" Chen Qi asked hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter! There is a little change. Seeing you flying around in the New Year, the leaders felt it was very difficult and wanted to invite you to visit your home."
The other party was very polite. After all, Chen Qi was not a little Karami. He received a department-level salary and worked at the ministerial level, which was the only one in the country.
“Has time changed?”
"There is no time, it's still the fifth day of the New Year. I'll pick you up then!"
"Okay! I'll bother you!"
The other party flashed after saying that.
Chen Qi scratched his head and asked himself to go home. This kind of friend forgetting the New Year is not in vain, and I will write letters year by year. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year welcomes the God of Wealth, firecrackers are roaring together for wealth, and abundant offerings are offered to pray for wealth... a good omen!

Cathay Cinema, completed in 1931.
It is one of the four major theaters in Shanghai for the first round of external film screenings. Yes, MGM and Gone with the Wind could be played here in the 1930s. For a long time, Shanghai was the base camp of the domestic film industry.
Just look at the Shanghai people in Hong Kong.
Cathay Pacific Cinema has more than a thousand seats, heating and cooling air conditioning, and introduced the Dolby optical stereo system in the United States, which is the first batch of super-grade cinemas. What surprised Chen Qi the most was that a pair of headphones were installed on the seats. What was this thing used?
When watching the original English movie, the translator translates the lines in real time and the audience listens through headphones.
That's right, it's just simultaneous interpretation!
The Spring Festival period in later generations usually starts on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the consumption habit has not yet been developed, so we have left the time for everyone to greet the New Year on the first day and the second day of the Lunar New Year, starting from the third day of the Lunar New Year.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the Cathay Pacific Cinema was full.
In addition to Wu Mengchen, Wu Yigong, the director of Shanghai Film Factory, also came, and there were leaders of the Municipal Film Bureau, Cultural Office and Propaganda Office.
The host started the show, and then the guests sang, Alan Tam sang an interlude "Friends" from "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", which is also his personal classic song: "The sky is far away, the stars are closely related, even if you and I are covered with thorns, to relieve the loneliness in my heart, who understands me..."
He sang a song from Winner's band with Chen You and Zhong Zhentao again.
Wang Jie caused a sensation when he appeared, which was naturally "A Game, A Dream", the vicissitudes of Prodigal Ziyin: "That's just a game, A Dream, Don't leave the incomplete love here, you shouldn't be there in the world of two people..."
Chen Qi sat down and hummed quietly, next to Wu Mengchen.
Wu Mengchen looked around and whispered: "I heard that the director of Beijing Film Studio is going to change? Do you know who it is?"
"Song Chong!"
"He? He is indeed very good at it, but he is too bold. I am not optimistic. How do you prepare for reform if you take over?"
Um?
Chen Qi looked innocent: "You know I want to take over Beijing Film Studio in Shanghai?"
"It's obvious!"
"I can swear to Luoshui, I have no intention of this! Listen to music and listen to music."
Chen Qi refused to admit it. After Wang Jie went down, Chen Huixian came up and unexpectedly brought a Mandarin song called "Star Words and Stars" - the one that Cecilia Cheung sang.
The Left has a film "Star Wish" this year, starring Leon Lai and Zhou Huimin, and the story is basically the same as the original. The original version is starring Richie Richie and Cecilia Cheung.
Chen Huixian sang the theme song.
She was arranged to learn Mandarin for two years, and her pronunciation was already very standard, with clear and slightly sad voices flowing on the scene, and everyone was listening to music quietly. As long as she could speak Mandarin, the market prospects were unlimited and she didn't have to be limited to the Cantonese area.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
The guests sang a total of five songs, and the audience applauded. These were all first-line singers, and they were worth spending just eight dollars.
Immediately afterwards, "Dragon Brother Tiger Brother" began to be screened.
This film imitates "Raiders of the Lost Ark", saying that the Bible records that there are five magic weapons called "God's Arms" that can fight against the devil. An old white male count and a group of cults are competing for these five "God's Arms".
Cheng Long and Alan Tam are good brothers who help the Count fight against the cult.
The entire film was filmed in Yugoslavia and Eastern Europe, and the investment reached HK$25 million. Jiahexin was bleeding. Fortunately, she could still make money by relying on overseas markets at this time.
So the film is full of exotic style, with many speed stunts added, and maintains Cheng Long's usual action design level. It's a hit when he comes to the mainland. And this is not a videotape, it's a serious one on the big screen.
Chen Qi only listened to the audience and issued exclamations with local characteristics from time to time:
"Old and thrilling!"
"I'm going to praise you!"
He was a Shanghai son-in-law at least, and he was so happy that he suddenly remembered something and said, "Old Wu! Can you buy a gift for me? I'm going to visit someone at the moment."
“What standard?”
"It is not expensive and very decent, it means paying New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, focusing on your heart."
"Where is the other party's age?"
"As an elder, you'd better give it to me tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go find you tomorrow."
Wu Mengchen nodded, some speculations but not sure. Chen Qi was also hastily because he had not made a reservation at home before, so he was quite nervous when he thought of going to someone else.
"The Dragon Brother and the Tiger Brother" has nothing to say, the quality is enough to serve as a good start for Hong Kong films to enter Shanghai. The nearly 100-minute movie ended in the blink of an eye, and the audience burst into warm applause, and the audience was savored endlessly.
"Is this Cheng Long? It's really amazing."
"Of course! The most popular star in Hong Kong!"
"Who told you? My relative is in Hong Kong. He said that Li Lianjie is also super popular, as well as Liu Dehua, Leslie Cheung, and Wang Zuxian. The most popular last year was "A Chinese Ghost Story". You are all behind."
No matter what, everyone is very happy and will watch a good movie in the future.
Wu Yi, the director of Shanghai Film Studio, frowned, just worried that Hong Kong films would grab the market. He looked at Chen Qi. The two talked about this. Chen Qi said that the first step for Hong Kong films to come in, and the second step was to co-production.
So don't worry.
But how could Wu Yigong not be worried? I don’t know what the co-production is going on, and it has not started yet. Just looking at the reactions of the audience today, the local film will definitely not be able to do it.
"Wow!"
Regardless of those, the audience expressed their love with applause and cheers, and the main creators once again came on stage to thank them.
(Not...
