Chapter 363 My Chinese Heart


    Chen Qi had to be careful in mainland China, but in Hong Kong it felt like he was back at home.


    After settling down for a while, he went downstairs to find Fu Qi.


    Fu Qi and Shi Hui were really happy that their family of three was here. This dormitory had been deserted for too long.


    "Xiao Chen, is your return going well this time?"


    "It went well, even beyond my imagination. The boss asked me to go back and make a report to study the income distribution. Guess what? I have been approved to operate freely in Hong Kong. As long as it does not violate the principles, I can do anything."


    "real?"


    Fu Qi was overjoyed and said: "Then we will no longer have any constraints, and we can go all out."


    "Yes! You can enter the next stage..."


    Chen Qi explained the specific content and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, I am sitting in front of you now, just to do business. To be honest, I don''t care how much the "Tai Chi 1" account will be, and the money will not be given to me, but "Tai Chi 2" "I have to care."


    "Are you going to discuss business with us?"


    Fu Qi and Shi Hui looked at each other and smiled, saying: "Each theater chain has different accounting standards. Generally speaking, Hong Kong movie box office must first pay 17.5% entertainment tax, and the rest will be divided half and half with the theater chain first. At this time, you still have 41.25%. After deducting the publicity and distribution fees, about 30% is usually left.


    There is also a ladder type, with six points for the first four, four for you, and six for theaters. The next Wednesday is 7 minutes, the longer the show is, the more points it will be.


    But we are different. We are not productive enough. The theaters can only find films to release on their own, and the money they make subsidizes the production. We are all one and the same, regardless of each other.


    You want to join in without the burden!


    After paying the 17.5% tax, we share the publicity and distribution expenses equally, and we also share the remaining income equally. "


    "No, no, no, this is taking too much advantage of you. I will be responsible for the announcement myself!"


    "Stop being so nagging, it''s just when you need money. It won''t be too late to make adjustments when you develop!" Fu Qi said.


    "Well, then...thank you, uncle!"


    Chen Qi scratched his head. If his parents agreed, he would like to have a kiss.


    At this time, Fu Mingxian, who had been listening, said, "Dad, brother, have you guys finished talking?"


    "It''s settled!"


    "Oh, I thought you were going to fight. I''ve been worrying about who to help." Fu Mingxian breathed a sigh of relief.


    Fu Qi was not happy anymore and lectured: "You are a good daughter who has turned your elbows outward at such a young age!"


    "It''s none of my business, you dote on me more than I do!"


    Shi Hui ignored him and just asked: "Xiao Chen, isn''t Gong Xue starring in "Life is Beautiful"? Why did Yan Shunkai come?"


    "She has some drama in the capital and will be here in a few days."


    "Well, you''re here. Shanghainese women know how to play mahjong. Nan Sheng, Ah Hong, and I can''t even get together at the same table, so we''re in need of a poker partner."


    "Uh...she, she doesn''t seem to know how to play cards."


    Chen Qi grinned, what kind of scene would that be?


    …


    "Didi!"


    A dilapidated pickup truck parked at the entrance of the Clear Water Bay Studio. Zhang Mingmin stuck his head out and said, "Sir, I''m here to talk about something!"


    "Do you have an appointment?"


    "I have an appointment with Mr. Chen!"


    The guard let him go, he drove in, parked, got down, looked around, and walked up to the main building.


    In fact, he was very surprised, why did he come to him? Zhang Mingmin was born in Hong Kong, her father is an overseas Chinese from the Philippines, and her mother is an overseas Chinese from Indonesia. The family runs a small business and has 6 children.


    He used to work as a worker. Because he loved singing, he participated in many singing competitions and won the championship, which allowed him to sign with a record company.


    Zhang Mingmin''s Mandarin is very good, so the company asked him to cover Taiwanese folk songs such as "Country Road". He has released three albums and his results are pretty good. Although the Hong Kong music scene is dominated by English songs and Cantonese songs, the older generation of immigrants who speak Mandarin are still alive...


    At this stage, he, his sister and brother-in-law have opened an electronic watch factory. It is a small factory and the boss has to do the work himself. He is considered a small and wealthy class.


    "Dong dong dong!"


    "Please come in!"


    Chen Qi looked up and saw a thin, bespectacled, and elegant young man who looked like a college student coming in. He stood up and deliberately spoke in Mandarin: "Mr. Zhang!"


    "Mr. Chen Qi, hello, hello!"


    Zhang Mingmin took it naturally and shook hands.


    Chen Qi smiled and said: "I have listened to your folk album. Now there are not many people singing Mandarin songs in Hong Kong. I happen to have a Mandarin song, so I took the liberty to invite you to come and talk."


    "You''re welcome, but I wonder what type of song it is?"


    "Here are the lyrics!"


    Zhang Mingmin took it, with the name "My Chinese Heart" written on it. After reading the content, he nodded and said, "You mean, you want me to record this song?"


    "It''s not a solo performance, it''s a duet with others. If you''re interested, I''ll take you to the recording studio, where they''re recording."


    "Okay, I''m sorry to bother you!"


    Zhang Mingmin speaks very politely and his voice is not high, showing that he is a very polite young man.


    It is said that Chen Qichuan copied a lot of things and pretended to be cool in front of others, but he knew in his heart that this was not his original work, it could only be regarded as a second creation.


    Some of them were just copied, some of them, he would try his best to find the original owner and let them do it, and some of them, he really didn''t want to waste the opportunity of prostitution and wanted to make up for it, just like Zhang Mingmin.


    When he came to mainland China to sing "My Chinese Heart", he was banned by the TV station when he returned.


    Of course, life was not bad, because it was about business, and the most amazing thing was that the Asian Games were held in Beijing in 1990. The country was short of money, and people in the entertainment industry took action to raise funds publicly.


    Zhang Mingmin bought equipment from Hong Kong at her own expense, held 154 concerts in the mainland, and donated all the 600,000 she earned. He is also very active in social activities and has held many positions in mainland China and Hong Kong to promote exchanges between the two places.


    Therefore, Chen Qi doesn''t want to use this song for nothing, but also wants to maintain a good relationship, which may be of great use in the future.


    The two arrived at the recording studio, opened the door gently and went in. Andy Lau was singing in the studio.


    Chen Qi took the headphones and listened for a while, so let''s make do with it.


    Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Jacky Cheung is the **** of singing, Lai Ming sings out of tune, Aaron Kwok sings and dances vigorously, and Andy Lau’s singing skills may vary depending on the opinion, but his voice is very distinctive, and once you hear it, it is his song.


    "Love Forgetting Water", "Ice Rain", "Practice", "It''s Not a Sin for a Man to Cry"... Chen Qi also bought cassettes.


    Liu Dehua was a little nervous when he saw him coming in. Chen Qi gestured to continue singing regardless, and then handed the headphones to Zhang Mingmin. Zhang Mingmin put it on, and intermittent voices came from inside:


    "Although I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese. My ancestors have already stamped everything on me with the Chinese stamp..."


    “…”


    He was inexplicably moved and listened in silence for a while before taking off his headphones.


    "How does it feel?"


    "My mother is an overseas Chinese in Indonesia. She suffered a lot there when she was young. The first song I could sing was the Mandarin song she taught me. I think she will definitely support my decision. Thank you for the invitation. "


    Chen Qi laughed and stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation!"


    (No more!


    Wow, you guys are so awesome with this monthly pass! )
