Chapter 27 Family Banquet
"What's wrong with Xiao Shen?" Jing Puchun looked at Chen Chong and asked, "Don't the food suit your appetite?"
"Ah?" Chen Chong came to his senses, quickly raised his chopsticks and said, "No, it's delicious. I just thought about something else and got distracted."
"Aunt Jing, don't worry about him." Li Kaiyuan said, "He often does this. No matter what he is doing, he will be in a daze while doing it, and he doesn't know what he is thinking about."
"Xiao Shen, it's not good for you to do this. You have to work and rest. Don't always think about your career. Relax when it's time to relax."
"Yes, yes, what the aunt said." Chen Chong agreed repeatedly and said, "You must pay attention in the future."
"Apu, don't worry about him. If every young man works his career like Xiao Shen, he will not worry about the country's prosperity." Liao Chengzhi chewed slowly and ate the vegetarian dishes arranged separately and asked, "Xiao Shen, what were you thinking just now?"
"It's nothing. My mind is often leaping around, one after another, another, every accurate letter." Chen Chong picked up the dish and said, "I invested in a Japanese movie last year. Last week, the movie won the Best Film Award at the Cannes Film Festival in France. I was just thinking about whether the mainland is interested in introducing this movie."
"Oh?" Liao Chengzhi loved movies and knew a lot about Japan. He asked with interest, "Is it "Shadow Samurai"?"
"That's that."
"Kurosawa Akira is a world-recognized film master. This film won a grand prize. I believe the viewing and artistic value are very high. If Xiao Shen can arrange to introduce this movie into China, it will not only allow domestic filmmakers to observe and learn, but also promote the development of Sino-Japanese friendly relations, which is a great thing."
"The introduction of this movie is not as simple as "Suny Mountain Spirit Rain". "Shen Chong ate the dishes casually and said, "Shadow Samurai was jointly invested by me and I, Toho Co., Ltd. and Fox Film Company of the United States. Both the Japanese and Americans are very smart. Therefore, if the movie input and output company wants to introduce it, it will definitely cost a certain amount of money, which is not easy to operate."
"Since the film input and output company has a company sign, it has to follow the rules and do business. There is no cost. It is not enough to hold on to the old thinking." Liao Chengzhi commented a few times and asked again: "By the way, Xiao Shen, when I met the crew of "South Sea Thirteen Lang" last time, I heard from the two directors that they were going to France to attend the Cannes Film Festival. Director Ann Hui won the Best Director Award for the Film Award for the Film Festival last time. Did he win the award in Cannes this time?"
"As one of the three major film festivals in the West, the Cannes Film Festival does not accept films that have participated in other film awards." Chen Chong explained the rules of several mainstream film festivals in a concise manner and said: "If Chinese films want to go to the world, film festivals are a very important channel. I sent them here to see the world. Director Xu and Director Yan are both young and may not have no chance to win the grand prize in the future."
"You have a good idea. You should do things step by step and not be too ambitious."
"Don't talk about work when eating." Jing Puchun glared at Liao Chengzhi and said, "Xiao Shen is not an ordinary young man, so you don't need any reminder."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about business." The Liao couple was very loving. Liao Chengzhi was a famous wife Guan Yan. He raised his hand and surrendered and said, "Then we only talk about movies, Xiao Shen, are there any good movies worth watching in Hong Kong recently? A few days ago, I watched "Father and Son Love" produced by Xia Meng Company. It was very good. It was a good movie, right? "
"Well." Jing Puchun agreed and said, "That's indeed a good movie. It's simple and natural, without making fake and empty, and the relationship is sincere. It's just that the father prefers boys over girls, which is not good."
When "Father and Son Love" was released, Chen Chong was in the United States and had not had time to watch it. However, he was familiar with Fang Yuping, and had information from his previous life to prepare for it. He was not unhappy when chatting, saying: "When Director Fang Yuping filmed "Father and Son Love", in order to pursue a real and natural feeling, the two actors who played the father and son were ordinary people he found on the streets. He had never filmed a movie before. I heard him say that many plots in this movie have the shadow of his life experience, which can be regarded as semi-autobiographical movies."
"No wonder the filming was so real." Jing Puchun knew it and asked, "That person who played the mother is Zhu Hong, right?
"Yes." Chen Chong nodded and said, "It's Shandan, the Mongolian girl in "Golden Eagle".
"Oh, she is old too." Jing Puchun sighed and said, "The Golden Eagle was popular all over the country back then, and she was the dream lover in the hearts of countless boys."
"No wonder when I was watching the movie, I felt familiar. It turned out to be Zhu Hong." Liao Chengzhi also sighed and said, "She is the actor who played Nanhou in "Qu Yuan". I remember that in October 1976, a Hong Kong left-wing filmmaker visited and studied in Beijing. At that time, the Gang of Four happened to be smashed. I went to see them, including Zhu Hong. In the blink of an eye, it has been 4 years."
Xia Meng is the top star of Great Wall Film Company, while Zhu Hong is the top star of Phoenix Pictures. The Golden Eagle starring him is the first Hong Kong movie with a box office of over one million. In addition to "Golden Eagle", "The Fake Son-in-Live" and "The Wife Trial" are also classic movies. "The Painted Skin" starring her in 1964. After it was released in the mainland in the late 1970s, she even scared many viewers who had never watched horror movies.
What Zhu Hong talked about most in her acting career is that she played the cruel and ruthless Nan Hou in the movie "Qu Yuan" and framed the loyal Nan Hou. After the film was previewed in Hong Kong in 1976, Huang Zhan commented on Ming Pao, saying that she was a character "like an allusion to Jiang Qing". The film was hidden because of this. Fortunately, the Gang of Four was soon finished. After "Qu Yuan" was released nationwide, someone wrote a letter to the newspaper, saying that Nan Hou was so hated that it made people grit their teeth, which shows how outstanding her acting skills were.
"I heard that after Sister Zhu Hong acted in "Father and Son Love", she planned to retire from the film." Chen Chong broke the news and said: "After the merger of Great Wall and Phoenix, she will do some organizational and administrative work."
"Oh, what a pity, she is a good actor, why did she retire from the film so early?"
"Chen Jingbo, the manager of Phoenix Pictures, is the husband of Zhu Hongjie. After the two companies merge, they may be very busy. She retires from filming to take care of her family."
"So that's the case, that's fine. She's about 40, so she should plan for her family."
Several people were eating and chatting casually. As they were talking, Liao Chengzhi reacted and said, "Why are you talking about other people's families? Xiao Shen, tell me what good movies have recently been. I stay here every day to recuperate and can't go anywhere. If I don't have a movie, I'll be bored."
Liao Chengzhi's tone was exactly the same as when Shen Chong was looking for good movies on the Internet in his previous life, which made him feel warm. It is a rare good thing to have a senior executive who loves movies and understands movies...
"Mr. Liao, I have a good movie now, but I'm afraid you can't watch it, so I haven't taken it out."
Liao Chengzhi became interested and asked, "There are still movies that I can't watch? "The Crazy Joe" directed by Ann Hui is said to have fainted in Hong Kong. I also watched it, nothing."
"This movie is different from "Crazy Job". It is a big scene movie with a fierce rhythm. I'm afraid that if you get excited, your heart will not be able to stand it."
"After you say this, I must watch it." Liao Chengzhi put down his chopsticks and said, "I have experienced the rain of bullets and bullets, but I am still afraid that the fake moves in the movie will not work? Where can I copy it, take it out and I will see it.
