Chapter 171 Death Struggle


    "The martial arts film "Tai Chi" shot by Beijing Film Studio became a sensation in Hong Kong, earning 17 million at the box office in one fell swoop, ranking first in Hong Kong film history!


    Not long ago, the main creative staff went to Hong Kong for promotion and received a warm welcome from the masses. There were flowers and applause everywhere they went, and fans shed tears of passion... This is a moment in a historical drama, this is a landmark work!


    "The male protagonist of "Tai Chi" is played by Li Lianlian, who has won many national martial arts championships, and the female protagonist is the well-known Gong Xue. The screenwriter is also the screenwriter of "Lushan Love", Chen Qi.


    It is reported that Chen Qi''s previous work "Fatal Turn" was released last year and scored 4 million at the box office. The film profoundly exposed the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, the content was too bold and we did not get to see it. At first sight.


    His other film "Dark Invasion" is already under intensive production by Great Wall Company, but unfortunately it still cannot be released in mainland China.


    As a 21-year-old screenwriter, not only has he achieved great success in mainland China, but his two films in Hong Kong have grossed 21 million at the box office. He is undoubtedly an outstanding figure of the younger generation and deserves deep reflection by our film practitioners..."


    ""Tai Chi" was first released in Hong Kong. There is no reliable news from the mainland. The reporter asked China Film Company for inquiries, and China Film Company refused to be interviewed..."


    These are normal, and I will mention them by name below.


    "In mid-February, "Return of Yan" and "Tai Chi" went to West Berlin... "Return of Yan" unfortunately failed, "Tai Chi" shined, and foreigners were conquered by Chinese Kung Fu!"


    Then he boasted again, and then changed his tone: "The person accompanying me this time is Fang Yurong from China Film Company (the name has been changed, everyone understands). She has good overseas experience and is a film selector at the Berlin Film Festival.


    Fang Yurong strongly promoted "The Return of the Swallow" to participate in the competition, participated in various activities in Berlin, and did it personally, which is worthy of admiration! "


    Accompanied by various photos of her in Berlin, with Chairman Harder, with members of the jury, with directors and actors from other countries, hugging each other intimately, chatting and drinking, smiling happily...


    Yu Jiajia didn''t talk about earning foreign exchange. The news was sent out at once, what else would be posted later?


    But that''s enough.


    In 1981, the wind blowing in from outside became stronger and stronger. Many people''s ideas quietly changed and they began to pursue everything outside. Tapes of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers also flowed in from various channels, opening up a group of people''s pop music enlightenment.


    Due to its special location, Hong Kong has received considerable attention. In the eyes of most people, it is a highly developed capitalist society with toilets inlaid with gold.


    Therefore, words such as "Mainland Movie", "Hong Kong Dominance" and "17 million Hong Kong dollars" can easily stir the hearts of countless people. Especially when you look at it, "Tai Chi" was released in Hong Kong but not in the mainland. Why?


    "Xiao Huang! Xiao Huang!"


    Aunt Wang, wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, ran to the tea stall like the old ladies who snatched eggs in later generations, and asked: "Is anyone investigating Xiao Chen''s affairs these days?"


    "Yes, asked you too?"


    "I''ve asked about it, this situation must be under investigation by the department!"


    Aunt Wang was chatting like a teenager, but the old lady could hold up half the sky and said loudly: "Xiao Chen is one of ours! His working relationship is still here, he earned 21 million in Hong Kong, and we also have glory on our faces, I still hope I''m looking for him to come back and give a report. I can''t let anyone bully me!"


    "Then what do you want to do?"


    "We don''t understand the twists and turns in the movie, so we''ll ask the government leaders to write a joint letter and our street will hand it in, and we''ll praise him to death and make sure he''s fine!"


    "Okay, let''s write it now!"


    Huang Zhanying had a deep brotherly love and agreed wholeheartedly.


    …


    "Oops!"


    At China Film Company, Song Linming put down the China Youth Daily and his expression changed drastically.


    He just wants to race against time to characterize the matter and grab the business. No one wants to report it in the newspapers. Once a wave of public opinion forms and everyone chants "Tai Chi", China Film will be passive.


    What''s even more irritating is that he slammed the table, pointed at Fang Yurong and cursed: "What''s going on with those photos?"


    "That was reported by the Berlin newspaper. It was our first time participating in the competition. They were very concerned about it. Reporters followed me every day...how did it spread to the country?"


    "You''re as stupid as a pig! Is that what I''m asking you? You just go to the activities and why are you hugging people? Look at this, that foreigner''s mouth is on your face!


    "I am French, and French people are romantic and passionate. I also follow the locals, otherwise how would I deal with Westerners..." Fang Yurong whispered.


    Song Linming suddenly felt tired.


    What kind of subordinates are you?


    Although the boy named Chen is annoying, objectively speaking, he is really capable. "Forget it, follow me to the Ministry of Culture. We must not let them turn over!"


    …


    "Chen Qi, you can leave!"


    Xiao Mo opened the door of the special guest house.


    "You mean, I''m okay?"


    "After thorough investigation, everything is fine."


    "Thank you to the organization for clearing my name... Let me ask, if I report that others have similar suspicions, do you also have to investigate?"


    "certainly!"


    "Oh, that''s good."


    Chen Qi nodded and walked downstairs, accompanied by Xiao Mo.


    When he got downstairs, he said: "Comrade, can I ask your name?"


    "State secrets!"


    "Haha, it feels like we are about the same age, and talking to you is quite a hit. I hope we can meet again in the future, I mean under normal circumstances."


    Chen Qi waved to him and ran to Wang Yang, who came to pick him up in person, just like a grandson running to his grandfather.


    "Old factory director, please excuse me. I have done a lot of favors, right?"


    "Hey! Favors are only for use. My old age will be wasted if I die."


    Wang Yang didn''t say much about what happened in the past few days, he just said: "Fu Qi came and met Mr. Liao. The China Film Group and the gang were making trouble again. The Ministry of Culture had no choice but to let us go to a meeting, and you happened to come out. Are you Take a rest, or go directly?”


    "No need to rest. I''m so suffocated in there, let''s go!"


    …


    Ministry of Culture, large conference room.


    When Chen Qi arrived, many people had already arrived, including leaders of the departments in charge. The atmosphere was serious. Naturally, Song Linming and Fang Yurong were also there and saw him come in.


    "You''re so lucky to be able to get this out!"


    Fang Yurong snorted secretly.


    The two sat down, and the table formed a circle, with the leaders at the top and them at the bottom, with people on both sides, just like the ancient yamen temple where they were tried.


    "Old Wang!"


    The leader said: "You all have your own version of the story of this matter. Without additional evidence, I can''t believe anyone. But you yourself admitted that you did sell the film. Is there no objection to this?"


    "No, but please analyze the specific situation in detail. Under the conditions at the time, we can only do this. If you want to be held accountable, it is better to ask Comrade Fang Yurong. Her indifference to "Tai Chi" led to a series of things happening."


    "Don''t make excuses. I''m only one person, can I still split it into two halves? "The Return of the Swallow" is a competition film, so of course my attention is more on that side." Fang Yurong retorted.


    "Isn''t what you said also an excuse? You can say it, but we can''t?"
