Chapter 34: A Chance Encounter

After the initial discussion, the commotion soon stopped. As the plot developed, when Leslie Cheung and Brigitte Lin walked out of the airport and began to visit Los Angeles, the theater was quiet and the audience began to blend in with the romantic atmosphere created by the movie.

The reason why "Love at Dawn" breaks the rules and does not hold a midnight show to hold a premiere is to actively create news hotspots to attract media attention and take the opportunity to promote it. On the other hand, this movie is a niche movie targeting literary youths. The midnight show is open for tickets, and it cannot distinguish the taste and quality of the audience. If a large number of viewers with different aesthetic interests and movie interests come in, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the movie. Because there are few gimmicks in art films and the box office is supported by word of mouth, there is no such problem when the premiere is held, because the audience in the entire theater is invited from college students or middle-class white-collar workers who are very interested in art films based on market research feedback.

Which man doesn’t like ambiguous encounters? Which woman doesn’t like beautiful encounters?

Which man doesn’t want to have a confidante? Which woman doesn’t want to have a caring lover?

Under the brilliant sunshine with high sky and light clouds, in the exotic streets and alleys, handsome men and beautiful women travel together, talking freely about topics and confusions buried in their hearts.

There is no competition for fame and fortune, no intrigue, no pressure and trouble, no ridicule, no hypocrisy, no perfunctory, no sadness and loss, no pretentiousness...

Free as a bird

Happy like a swimming fish

As pure as glass

Bloom like flowers

Not only were the audience intoxicated, but even Shen Chong, who wrote this script, felt a little happy and envious of the male and female protagonists in the movie - when would I be so leisurely and carefree?

He turned his head and looked left, and found that Zhang Aijia and Brigitte Lin's expressions were almost the same, both with soft eyes, and they were all focused on the big screen, and then looked to the right. Chen Kunhou and Leslie Cheung were also very focused on looking at the big screen, but one looked thoughtful and the other had a slight smug smile.

In the era when there were no digital cameras and LCD monitors, after the film was filmed, before the editing was completed, only the director knew how to shoot and how he acted. Leslie Cheung probably didn't expect that he would perform so well. After all, he had only made two movies before, and both of them were lacking in good terms and no reputation or highlights...

Sure enough, she is still a 23 or 24-year-old young man. She is just starting out and can't hide her spirits. Hahaha...

A faint sense of absurdity and a sense of accomplishment in rewriting history appeared in Shen Chong's heart. He withdrew his gaze, raised his hand to look at the watch, and found that it was almost half past ten, so he whispered to Aijia Zhang: "How long will it take to end?"

"There are about ten minutes left."

"Then I'll go out first and wait for you in the car."

Zhang Aijia was surprised and reminded: "There is still a curtain call later."

"It's enough to have you, I'll make a call."

Zhang Aijia said oh and nodded.

The main creative staff were sitting in the last row, and it was very convenient to go out. Shen Chong hugged and left from the side where Leslie Cheung sat. The driver and bodyguard Dai Aijun lifted the thick curtain at the ticket gate and accompanied him out of the screening hall.

In the RU era, there was a very interesting custom in Hong Kong theaters. Once the movie tickets were sold out, a banner with red and yellow characters would be hung at the door, with the four big words "The whole courtyard is full of seats". As long as the audience saw this flag, they would not come in again. Jiahe Theater was booking a premiere that day, and the flag was hung early, so the ticket hall was very deserted. Shen Chong walked a few steps along the hall with leaflets, and he heard someone calling him behind him.

"Mr. Shen."

Looking back, it turned out to be Qian Xiaoni, and there was also a photographer carrying a machine and a girl wearing white-framed glasses.

Since the "naked run" of Jiayi TV on the day it was broadcast, Chen Chong has never seen Qian Xiaoni again. However, she was the only girl in Taiwan that day, wearing a three-point bikini jumped into the sea, and she was surging and had a very good figure, so she was very impressed, so she smiled and said, "Xiao Ni, long time no see."

"Yes, I haven't seen Mr. Chen for a long time." Qian Xiaoni pursed her lips and smiled, greeted him for a few words, then raised her microphone and asked, "Mr. Chen, can you visit a few words?

Chen Chong was a little surprised. In his impression, this was a shy and shy girl. He didn't expect that in just two or three months, he turned into a shrewd and skilled female anchor...

When she took her to Jiayi TV on a whim, she took her to Jiayi TV because her voice was very distinctive, soft and crisp, and her pronunciation was very accurate. She could train for a while, and then she waited for the music station to be the host. Unexpectedly, before the music station started to broadcast, she made a big splash on the movie station.

Sure enough, there are often horses in a thousand miles, but there are not often men of Bole, and there are talents everywhere...

This girl was introduced to the TV station by herself. She belonged to the direct line according to her favor. Chen Chong was not embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Last time in your tea restaurant, I gave you ten minutes, and this time I'll give you ten minutes, so ask."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Qian Xiaoni asked immediately: "Have you ever seen this movie before the screening?"

"No, it's the first time to watch it tonight."

"What's the comment on this movie?"

“It was a good shot, I like it very much.”

"Can you evaluate the performance of the director and the actor?"

This girl is very conscious of her eyes. She doesn't talk about her names, so she avoids touching the sensitive points of Shen Chong...

"The director is very awesome, the actors are very talented, and they are all very good."

"What do Mr. Chen thinks about the audience's reaction during the preview just now? It seems that some viewers cannot adapt to the style of this movie."

"The response was much more ideal than I expected..."

This girl made amazing progress. When she first saw Chen Chong, she was confused and said nothing. Although she was still a little stiff and rigid, she was clear and concise, and she was vaguely a bit of a famous reporter.

"Mr. Shen has a high opinion of this movie, so can you predict its performance at the Academy Awards next year?"

"It's hard to say. It's only August, and it's still early in 1981. There are many excellent works still being filmed. Moreover, I am the chairman of the jury of the Academy Awards, so it's not convenient to express my opinions on this..." Chen Chong heard a commotion in the screening hall and knew that the movie was about to end, so he held down the interview microphone and said, "Okay, Xiao Ni, it's ten minutes."

Qian Xiaoni put away the microphone and said with a clever smile: "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

"Nothing, they are all their own family."

Chen Chong teased casually, and then he was about to leave. At this time, the girl wearing white-framed glasses stepped forward two steps, handed a small paper bag with both hands, and said, "Mr. Chen, this is a tape recorded by AIau. Can you listen to it?"

Chen Chong was stunned. Qian Xiaoni explained when she saw this: "Mr. Chen, this is my friend, Ir, she is the girlfriend of Alan Tam."

It turned out to be Principal Tan...

Alan Tam is also an artist under Polygon, but Chen Chong is not very concerned about the pop music industry. After acquiring Polygon, he rarely goes to the recording studio, so he has never seen him.

After the disband of the Winner band in 1978, Alan Tam and Kenny Bee went to Taiwan to develop one after another, playing the leading role in some romance films. They made three movies in the first half of this year alone. Now let his girlfriend come to me for what to do...

Chen Chong was puzzled, took the paper bag, and asked, "Didn't AIau film in Taiwan?"

"Yes." The girl was scalded with her curly wavy head, with a gentle face and a kind of quiet temperament. She held the glasses frame and explained nervously: "I took this belt out with my own initiative and took it out with AIau on my back. Mr. Chen is the number one music talent in Hong Kong and the boss of AIau. I... I hope you can give me some advice, give me some advice and support AIau. He sings very well."

One of the two kings in Hong Kong music scene in the RU era, of course I knew he sang well...

But Alan Tam has limited achievements in films, and I don’t have time to tinker with music now...

Besides, the Winner band was very popular in the 1970s. Alan Tam has accumulated a lot of fame and has been doing well in Taiwan. Without intervening, he will soon become very popular...

Unlike Leslie Cheung who dug up from Li’s TV, the Wynn Band signed a contract with Polygon in 1974. After the Wynn Band was disbanded, the lead singer Alan Tam was the object of Zheng Donghan. Chen Chong never liked to join the work of his subsidiary. He weighed the paper bag and was about to return it to the girl. At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, put away the paper bag and said, "Let me listen first."

The girl was filled with joy and thanked her repeatedly. Chen Chong waved his hand and turned toward the parking lot.

If you guess correctly, this girl should be Principal Tan’s original wife...

According to gossip records on the Internet in previous life, Principal Tan's original wife was very capable and helped him a lot in his acting career. Unfortunately, she couldn't have children. So when Principal Tan was 45 years old, he found a year old fan as a mistress, and then hugged her left and right, enjoying the blessing of all people...

Principal Tan seems to be a fickle scumbag like me...

Let’s listen first. Anyway, it has changed Leslie Cheung’s acting career. It’s no big deal to change Alan Tam’s acting career...

Shen Chong sat into the car, put the paper bag into the storage box, then picked up the car phone and dialed the number at home.

"Brother-in-law, it's almost 10 o'clock. When will you come back?"

"Little Heimei, why aren't you sleeping? As I go, I want to talk to your beautiful sister."

"Who is talking about the little black girl?"

"Of course I'm talking about you. I'm like a chimpanzee. What's the point of not being a little black girl?"

In early August, Chen Chong did not go to Beijing alone, and Li Tang's family and Zhao Anping's family also went there. Lily was trying to shoot a documentary in Beijing, and Tianbao followed her around every day. The child's skin was tender and the August sun was poisonous. So in just over ten days, he changed from a pink and jade-made little loli to a black black girl with black paint.

"I'm not that dark." Tianbao was in adolescence. When he was teased by Shen Chong, he immediately became irritable and shouted: "Brother-in-law, you are much darker than me. You are a chimpanzee, you are the authentic African chimpanzee king."

Chen Chong laughed, then held the phone and listened to the intermittent voice inside: "What chimpanzee, white orangutan, go to bed quickly... Sister, brother-in-law, he said I am a little black girl again... Who made you think it's troublesome and go out to play without an umbrella... Hello, A Chong, the movie is over?"

"Just ending. Are you still reading?"

"No, I just finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed with Tianbao..." Li Kaiyuan seemed to be having a fun with Tianbao, stopped for a while, and said, "In the afternoon, I had a meeting with the senior management of Kinmen Construction, briefly explained the plans for the next few years, and then asked them to form an inspection team and go to Guangzhou next month."

"No one has given you a warning?"

"Those people began to be arrogant, but after listening to the plan..." Li Kaiyuan chuckled and said, "In your words, even if the symbol of money is flashing all over his eyes, then no one will have any objections if a woman leads them, even if a pig leads them."

"Let my brother-in-law, this lustful chimpanzee, lead them"

The mainland is in a mess and there is serious shortage of infrastructure. Skyscrapers, highways, municipal projects, airports, docks, stations, factories, etc. all require high-level construction companies to build, and there are business opportunities everywhere. During this trip to Beijing, Shen Chong brought back two business opportunities. One is that the mainland is preparing to build a highway between Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the other is that the mainland approved Shen Chong to build a skyscraper in Shenzhen through Sino-foreign cooperation.

Li Kaiyuan threw away two big pies, and the arrogant British people were naturally jealous. Although these two projects are big, they are not the key. The key is that Li Kaiyuan can open the mainland market to Kinmen buildings, which is the key.

Around 19RU, most municipal projects in Hong Kong had been completed, and large real estate developers basically had their own construction companies. Kinmen Construction could only go to Southeast Asia to find projects. However, several countries in Southeast Asia were not very stable, and defaults often occurred. At the same time, they had to face competition from Japanese companies. The Japanese were rich and powerful, and the pressure to compete with them was very high. The mainland regime was stable and everything was in trouble. Highways, skyscrapers, airports, stations, etc. There were countless large-scale projects that needed to be built. As long as you entered, a tiger would go down the mountain and a shark would go into the sea...

In the face of money, pride and prejudice cannot be hard like ice cream under the scorching sun...

There was a Tianbao interruption, and it was too late, so Chen Chong didn't talk to Li Kaiyuan for more. After saying a few gossips, he hung up the phone.
