After more than a month of preparation, the Taiwan version of "Movie Age" was released in mid-July.

In the first issue, Qiu Gangjian re-edited and revised some of Chen Chong's remarks about the "New Wave of Hong Kong Film" as the first topic of the issue, and vigorously advocated that Taiwanese films should learn from Hong Kong and seek change.

It happened to be in July that "Crazy Job" landed in Taiwan with the power of breaking the box office record of Hong Kong movies, causing considerable waves between ordinary audiences and professional filmmakers.

Neither Hong Kong nor Taipei are particularly big, and the film industry of this era is even less big.

So Shen Chong was in Taipei, and it was difficult to keep a low profile. During his few days in Taipei, in addition to watching a movie with Zhang Aijia, he spent every night in a cup of wine. One banquet after another, which was quite a bit like Run Run Shaw's opening and flowing table, and met a large number of Taiwanese filmmakers.

Ono, Wu Nianzhen, Hou Hsiao-hsien... In addition to Yang Dechang, who is also working in Seattle, he is known to most of the backbone talents in Taiwan's future film industry.

Chen Chong also met many successful and famous filmmakers such as Li Xing, Bai Jingrui, and Song Cunshou.

Among these people, the most important one is Mingji introduced by Wei Jingmeng.

Mingji retired with the rank of major general and began to serve as the general manager of Taiwan Central Film Co., Ltd. in 1978. His status in the Taiwanese film industry is similar to that of Boss Han in the mainland in later generations.

China Film Company, China Television Company and China Broadcasting Company are collectively known as the "Three Middle Schools". They are both media organizations run by the Kuomintang. China Film Company is famous for its complete vertical integration system for film industry, from production, studio, printing, recording, editing, distribution to screening institutions, everything is available.

The Oriental Charming Taiwan branch only does production business, photography equipment and post-production. They all rent and get to know Mingji from China Film Academy, which is obviously very beneficial to the company's development.

Besides, Mingji is also worth making friends with.

During his tenure at China Film Academy, he first promoted Ono and Wu Nianzhen to work as film planning, and then vigorously supported new directors such as Yang Dechang, Ke Yizheng, and Wan Ren, which created a new atmosphere for Taiwanese films. Therefore, he was called the "Father of Taiwan's New Films" and won the Golden Horse Award for Lifetime Achievement.

China Film Company has the government as its backer and has huge financial appropriations every year. It has a big family and a big business. Although Chen Chong has become popular recently and has gained a reputation in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he is a small person who has only produced one movie. If it weren't for Wei Jingmeng's bridge, he would not have been able to catch up with Mingji's eyes.

I don’t know if it was because of the former “News Director”’s personal introduction or because Mingji was extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of Taiwanese films. At the banquet that night, he was very enthusiastic and enthusiastically invited Chen Chong to cooperate with China Film Company to shoot several innovative movies together.

Chen Chong avoided this invitation and was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it.

It can be said that it is a personal relationship with Mingji, but if you cooperate with China Film Company, it will be a bit over the line.

After his trip to Huangshan, most of his energy was devoted to developing the mainland film market. If he had something to do with China Film Company, which had a strong background in the Kuomintang, it was hard to say whether there were any political risks.

Taiwan and the mainland are put together, just like the name of a movie produced by China Film Company last year - "A Boat in the Ocean".

Shen Chong doesn’t want to bear any risks related to the mainland, nor can he afford them.

So even though Zhang Aijia winked repeatedly, he still made a false statement and didn't say a single word.

After the banquet, Wei Jingmeng and Mingji both had special drivers to pick them up and drop them off, so naturally there was no need to make any arrangements.

"Why didn't you agree to cooperate with China Film?" After the two left, Zhang Aijia was half unhappy and half puzzled. She held her arms and stood at the door of the Yuanshan Hotel, saying, "You don't give Manager Ming's face. How can our company do in Taipei in the future?"

Chen Chong beat him up and said, "You can't make it in Taipei anymore, so you can go back to Hong Kong, I'll support you."

"Speak serious!"

"Stand at the door of the hotel and talk about serious business, it's hot and noisy." Chen Chong touched his hair and suggested with a smile: "You can't go to my room, it's quiet and quiet, we talk about serious business."

"No." Zhang Aijia's big eyes were clearly distinguished by black and white, and she said, "Who knows what your idea is."

"I am Liu Xiahui, absolutely a gentleman." Chen Chong spread his hands and shouted: "Why do everyone think I am a pervert!"

"Eat in the bowl and look in the pot, what's the case?"

"Which man doesn't want three wives and four concubines?" Chen Chong smiled with a shy face: "Those who don't want three wives and four concubines are not good men."

Zhang Aijia snorted, she fiddled with her hair and said, "I haven't been to the Chansong room for a long time, why don't we go there?"

"I will listen to the emperor." Chen Chong made an invitation and said, "Anyway, if you drive, I will accompany you even if you go to the ends of the world."

...

The Xiangsong Room was the first time Chen Chong came to Taipei. Zhang Aijia took him to a cafe where he met Tao Xiaoqing and Duan brothers, and then invested in the establishment of Rolling Stone Records.

Among the three branches in Taipei, Rolling Stone Records was the first to be established, but it was also the one he ignored the least. He has been in Taipei for a few days and has never even been to the gate of Rolling Stone Company.

First of all, Chen Chong's main energy is on movies. At present, in the entire Chinese film industry, the combination of movies and music is not enough. Those who pay more attention to it, create a theme song and invite a celebrity to sing it. Those who don't pay attention to it don't even have the soundtrack.

Hong Kong's film industry needs to be improved in all aspects, and soundtracks are not the most preferred one. After all, there is not even a stereo cinema in Hong Kong and Taiwan...

Secondly, the people on Rolling Stone Records are all famous and successful people in the history of Taiwanese pop music, and their management capabilities are undoubtedly, so Chen Chong is too lazy to worry about it.

Zhang Aijia is one of the shareholders of the Chanson Room. She has lived here for nearly a year and often holds various music activities during this period, successfully operating it as one of the designated venues for Taipei musician gatherings.

Although there was no activity that night, there were many musicians who came to drink coffee, including Tao Xiaoqing. From her, Chen Chong learned about the recent situation of Rolling Stone Records and couldn't help but be surprised.

There is an old saying: It is easy to share hardships, but it is difficult to share wealth and honor.

Out of trust in the foursome, Chen Chong invested a lot and generously, but the first issue of the Taiwan edition of "Movie Age" which was several months later than Rolling Stone, has been released. Rolling Stone's entrepreneurial work has been difficult to produce. It is said that the differences between the foursome have reached an irreparable point.

"Mr. Chen, I really admire you." Tao Xiaoqing didn't know the purpose of Chen Chong coming to Taipei. She held the coffee cup and said, "I heard that you invested tens of millions of dollars to Rolling Stones. They have been fighting for more than two months. You are just here in Taipei now. Are you not afraid of investment being wasted?"

"Investment mainly depends on people. As long as the candidates are right, money will naturally come." Chen Chong smiled and said, "It is rare to have talents, and it is normal to have differences and is easy to solve."

"Luo Dayou told me that Lao Duan and Wu Chuchu were having a very terrifying fight, and the two were still arguing in public in the company." Zhang Aijia was also a little worried. She looked at Chen Chong and asked, "How do you plan to solve this problem?"

"It's very simple. If your brothers don't get along, they will be separated, let alone friends." Chen Chong used a coffee spoon and gently stroked the table, saying, "Since there is a dispute, let Wu Chuchu go out and open another company. Let's fight and see who is the right one."

"You want to kick Wu Chuchu out?" Tao Xiaoqing put down his coffee cup and sighed: "Wu Chuchu is both good at singing and writing, and he is very capable. When he is leaving, Peng Guohua must also leave. The Duan brothers do not understand music production. In this way, most of the shelf that has been built by the rolling stone will collapse, which is better than closing the door."

"Sister Qing misunderstood." Chen Chong took two sugar cubes and signaled: "This is Rolling Stone, this is Wu Chuchu's new company, and I am this cup of coffee. They make the music they want to make, and I am providing all infrastructure and conditions."

"Mr. Chen has a big structure, spending money like soil, and he dares to play like this." Tao Xiaoqing understood Chen Chong's meaning, his eyes flashed, and sighed: "No wonder my sister fell in love with you."

"What did Sister Qing say?" Zhang Aijia lowered her head and stirred the coffee, saying, "How could I like him?"

"Sister Qing is wise and has a torch." Chen Chong laughed and beat the snake with a stick, and said casually: "Jia Jia is thin-faced, sorry to admit it, don't worry about her."

"Nothing nonsense, what about Jia Jia Sasha." Zhang Aijia's face turned slightly red, she glared at Chen Chong with a fierce look, and quickly explained: "Sister Qing, don't listen to him talking nonsense. He is the best person."

"I won't get involved in the matter between your little lovers." Tao Xiaoqing smiled ambiguously and said, "But I'm very optimistic about you two being talented and beautiful, and a perfect couple."

"I'll go to the bar to check it out." Zhang Aijia was a little panicked, stood up and left.
