Chapter 478 Uncle Zhan
"The Great Wall of the Yangtze River, Huangshan Mountain and Yellow River weigh a thousand pounds in my heart..."
Late at night, Huang Zhan was still watching the videotape.
He finished reading it at the company during the day, and then took it home and continued reading it by accident.
This "Mainland''s revolutionary propaganda film" does not have anything imaginary, such as being popular, being a teacher, or being a great speaker. Instead, it is very relaxed and humorous. Although the stage is very simple, it unexpectedly presents a positive and uplifting message. spirit.
Some of the programs made me laugh out loud, and the operas in them were also good to listen to.
As for the song "My Chinese Heart", he dismissed it when it was sung live, thinking that Liu Dehua and Zhang Mingmin were very artificial. The key was that after singing, the audience called in to express their opinions on the on-demand phones at the scene.
"It sounds so good! It sounds so good! It sounds so good!"
"All the employees of our Second Garment Factory love this song and strongly urge you to sing it again... Yes, I have no objection to singing it twice. I don''t even remember the lyrics!"
"I think the idea of ??this song is very good. The Yangtze River, Great Wall, Huangshan, and Yellow River are unique cultural symbols of the Chinese nation. They don''t need to be explained, and they are in tune with each other. I think the lyricist is a Hong Kong compatriot, and he can write such lyrics Come, you must be full of love for your motherland.”
"Hello, uncle... I, I am 6 years old this year. Can I order the Chinese heart again?"
Over a minute of footage.
Huang Zhan read it several times.
There is also a thick stack of newspapers, all full of praise and love for "My Chinese Heart", and letters from various viewers are published intact on it.
Huang Zhan has written many pop songs that are very popular in Hong Kong. He himself did not expect that this empty patriotic song that took him 30 minutes to write would cause such a big sensation.
The thinking of an educated man does not change overnight, but he does not resist this feeling and finds it very useful.
"snort!"
He looked at the invitation to "Life is Beautiful" again and said to himself: "There is a powerful figure in mainland China. I don''t know how many people have received this invitation!"
He was right.
Chen Qi brought the Spring Festival Gala video to Qiu Degen, Zou Wenhuai, Fok Zhenting and many other people. Even Shaw and Fang Yihua gave a copy. These people are either pro-mainland themselves or are tycoons. Watching the video is better than nothing.
People like Huang Zhan, who are self-employed and very influential, are the main audience for the video tape.
…
The leftist film schedule for this year is:
"Beautiful Life" in April, "Tai Chi 3" in May, "Kapok Kasaya" in June, "Happy Ghost" in July, "Burning the Old Summer Palace" in August, "Listening Behind the Curtain" in September, and "Shanghai Night" in October.
Afternoon, Nanhua Theatre.
"Life is Beautiful" media preview venue.
Reporters from more than 70 newspapers in Hong Kong came, including film critics who wrote columns and various film magazines. They all wanted to take a look at this movie that won the Golden Bear Award.
Chen Qi and Fu Qi were both there, entertaining all media.
"Mr. Shu Qi!"
"Oh, Mr. Chen, it''s so hard for me to invite you. Why don''t you attend the Academy Awards for your honor?"
"My film is not shortlisted, what should I do?"
"Then why don''t you just make some Hong Kong films? You''re so good. It''s either a mainland film or a co-production, which is not allowed by the Academy Awards rules!"
"Then you change the rules and don''t make me change my habits."
Chen Qi shook hands with Shu Qi and joked a little. This person was the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly". Last year, he held the first Academy Awards. Chen Qi led the crowd to attend to see Hong Jinbao and others embarrassed.
He has little interest this year.
"Hey, Brother Zhao!"
Fu Qi and Chen Qi were both happy when another person came in. This was a reporter from a right-wing newspaper, that is, from Taiwan. This guy was probably afraid of being teased by them, so he walked straight to the audience without saying hello. Coming in one after another.
Huang Zhan finally arrived.
Everyone was stunned when they saw him, and the right-wing reporters were even more excited. What''s going on? Huang Zhan was united? Perhaps Huang Zhan was afraid of misunderstanding, so he took the initiative and said loudly: "I am watching the movie this time and don''t care about anything else!"
"Of course you''re here to watch the movie. It''s not too late for us to welcome you. Let me introduce myself. I''m Chen Qi."
Chen Qi smiled and stretched out his hand. Huang Zhan shook it lightly and looked at it a few times: "Sure enough, he is a talented person!"
He didn''t say much and took his seat after speaking.
Soon, the film started to show, and the scene was quiet.
Huang Zhan watched it very carefully. He felt that the scenery of the Shanghai Bund Concession was described in great detail in the first half, and the personal relationship between his children was also interesting. When he reached the turning point of entering the concentration camp, he became more focused and stared at the big screen without blinking.
Then the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became.
There is a certain kind of thinking shown in it, not to mention mainland films, not even Hong Kong and Taiwan films, or any Chinese films. It is a bold consciousness of "forcibly dragging Westerners into the water".
Huang Zhan glanced at Chen Qi in the row in front of him and became increasingly interested.
He didn''t like to have contact with the left before. One of the main reasons was that he felt that the left had rigid ideas and talked about revolution but not sacrifice. Now he longs for freedom and democracy.
And what Chen Qi showed made him feel that he could have a chat, at least he wouldn''t be "taught".
at the same time.
Shu Qi and other film critics are also writing down some scattered inspirations in the dark. He is very excited. "Film Fortnightly" is very theoretical and is like a literary film.
"Whoosh!"
At the end of the screening, everyone applauded sincerely or politely, asked a lot of questions, and left one after another.
"Mr. Huang, stay!"
Fu Qi shouted first, and Huang Zhan stopped and turned this way. The right-wing reporters also stopped and stared at him eagerly.
"What''s the matter?"
"We want to thank you for writing a good song, which has spread all over the motherland and the audience loves it."
"I''m not doing it for you, I was just angry at myself!"
Huang Zhan was carefree and made no secret of his unfavorable impression of Fu Qi. It was nothing more than the riots many years ago that made people in Hong Kong panic. He thought Fu Qi was too radical.
"It''s okay to hate Japanese people. Let''s seek common ground while reserving differences!"
Chen Qi took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Last year I invited you to sing and talk over wine and have a good time. This time I brought some bottles of good wine from the mainland. Are you interested in trying it?"
"Uncle Zhan!"
When a right-wing reporter came over and tried to stop him, Huang Zhan glared: "Who do I drink with is none of your business? Shut up!"
His main business now is advertising and writing songs for TV series. He doesn''t have to be a right-winger at all. Moreover, he doesn''t like the mainland, but he doesn''t like Taiwan either. He turned to Chen Qi and said:
"It''s better to choose a different day. How about tonight? I was just going to ask you what you think about this movie."
"OK!"
"Uncle Zhan, think clearly!"
The right-wing reporter was anxious. Fu Qi waved his hand, and Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang came over. The reporter had to leave angrily and glared at Chen Qi hatefully. It''s this guy who made our life difficult after he came here!
