The passengers at the airport were taken aback, and some even screamed. Fang Shu was directly upside down, and her head hit the roof of the cabin. It was her first time on a plane, and she was so frightened by the sudden scene that she covered her head and screamed.

Xu Wangqiu quickly pulled her safe away, clicked, inserted it into the seat, and comforted with a smile: "The plane has encountered air currents, don't worry." ”

Sure enough, as Xu Wangqiu expected, the horn in the cabin sounded quickly, saying that the plane encountered air currents, not a plane failure, so please rest assured. However, the plane shook quite violently, the lights flickered on and off, and the screams in the cabin continued. After a while, the plane finally returned to its steady.

The woman next to her saw that Xu Wangqiu had been very calm, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "You are not afraid at all." ”

Xu Wangqiu said lightly: "It's not normal for the plane to encounter turbulence, what is there to be afraid of." If I do have an accident, it's useless for me to be afraid, I can't open the window and jump out. ”

When the woman heard Xu Wangqiu say this, she thought this person was very interesting, so she said, "It seems to make sense." Let's get to know each other, my name is Bao Qijing, and I am an actor from the Great Wall Company. ”

Xu Wangqiu felt as if he had heard Bao Qijing's name somewhere, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that when Zhang Jingchu competed for the Academy Award with "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai", she lost to Bao Qijing. He was not very familiar with this actor, but when he heard that the other party was from the Great Wall Company, he immediately had a good impression that this was his comrade, so he said: "It turns out that you are an actor from the Great Wall, I didn't expect you to speak Mandarin so well." I thought that Xiangjiang actors all talked like this, sir, mud monkeys!"

Bao Qijing couldn't help but say: "You are prejudiced, many people in Xiangjiang have been in the mainland and speak Mandarin." ”

Xu Wangqiu nodded slightly, he knew that at the end of the 40s, many left/factional figures in the film industry in the magic capital settled in Xiangjiang in order to escape the political pressure of the Kuomintang or the impact of inflation in the mainland. Some returned to China after liberation, while others stayed in Xiangjiang. It was the arrival of these film elites that led to the most glorious era of Shaw Brothers films. These people are from the mainland, and they all speak Mandarin at home, and the descendants of mainland immigrants like Bao Qijing speak Mandarin very well.

Xu Wangqiu looked at Bao Qijing and asked, "I heard that Changfengxin's treatment is much worse than that of the film company, I don't know if it's true?"

Bao Qijing was a little surprised, but she didn't expect this young man to know a lot, so she said: "We are different from other film companies, we don't get paid, we get a fixed salary, and there is so much money for filming and filming." ”

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself that it was the same as a domestic film studio, and asked: "Haven't you ever thought about joining other film companies?" Changfengxin doesn't make any films, if he joins other film companies, he can get better development, and maybe he will become popular." ”

Bao Qijing chuckled: "I didn't think about it, I think it's good." I've been at the Great Wall for ten years, and I'm used to it, and there are a lot of elders and actors on the Great Wall that I particularly admire, so it's good to stay at the Great Wall. ”

Xu Wangqiu heard Ding Jianming say that in the fifties and sixties, leftist filmmakers were in an awkward position in Hong Kong, and whenever the British government in Hong Kong held official activities, Changfengxin's actors were bound to be excluded; because they were in trouble with the Taiwan area, they were often ridiculed as "left-handed" by right-wing filmmakers; compared with film companies such as Shaw Brothers and Dianmao, leftist filmmakers were out-and-out "poor people", and Shaw Brothers stars could earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, while Xia Meng and them only had a few thousand.

However, in this difficult environment, Xia Meng and the others all chose to stay without hesitation. Many companies in Hong Kong want to poach them, but they are unmoved, they don't give any amount of money, they are real idealists.

For these people, Xu Wangqiu sincerely admired. If you put yourself in their place, I'm afraid it's very difficult to do. He exhaled softly and said with great sincerity: "I rarely admire people, but I really admire you. To introduce myself, my name is Xu Wangqiu, I am a film director, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

Xu Wangqiu said this very sincerely, and he didn't want Bao Qijing to giggle when he heard this: "Little brother, it's not good to lie casually, be honest, if you are a film director, then wouldn't I be the most popular star in Xiangjiang?"

Fang Shu next to him was immediately happy when he heard this: "Yes, he doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth." I can't lie, how can there be such a young director!"

Bao Qijing smiled and said, "You see that your girlfriend has debunked you." Be honest, otherwise girls will think that you are unreliable, will feel insecure, and will not marry you. ”

Xu Wangqiu glared at the proud Fang Shu, I communicated with Comrade Xiangjiang, what kind of mess, explained: "She is not my girlfriend, she is an actor like you, and I am the director, this time we went to Xiangjiang to promote the movie." ”

The phenomenon of seniority according to seniority in the Hong Kong film industry is serious, and even directors under the age of 30 are very rare, let alone directors who are seventeen or eighteen years old. Bao Qijing naturally didn't believe it, shook her head with a smile and said: "I grew up on the movie set, and I have been acting in movies for ten years, do you think I will believe that you are the director?"

Xu Wangqiu was speechless in his heart, I was obviously telling the truth, why didn't anyone believe me when I told the truth? But he knew that it was difficult to explain, and with Fang Shu making trouble next to him, there was no way to explain it clearly. Since he couldn't say it clearly for a while, he simply didn't explain: "I am indeed not a director, but an actor in the movie "Hoe Rape", and this time I went to Xiangjiang with the crew to promote. He pointed at Fang Shu, and then pointed to Zhou Lijin in front of him: "The two of them are the heroine and the male protagonist of "Hoe Rape". ”

Bao Qijing was very surprised when she heard that Xu Wangqiu was the actor of "Hoe Rape", and she was also very kind, it turned out to be her comrade, and said with a smile: "I heard that "Hoe Rape" is a special sensation in the mainland, I originally wanted to watch it, but there were too many people to buy tickets. I didn't expect you to be the actors of "Hoe Rape", and there has been no mainland crew to promote it in Xiangjiang for many years. ”

Xu Wangqiu is more interested in left/faction films in Xiangjiang, and now that he has met left/faction filmmakers, he must ask about the situation in Xiangjiang. Bao Qijing is a very talkative person, and when she saw that Xu Wangqiu was interested, she knew that she had nothing to say.

Due to the influence of the movement, the citizens, business circles, and intellectuals of Hong Kong have formed the mentality that "leftism equals terror", and coupled with the economic boom, the poor and backward hinterland has been even more excluded. Originally, the leftist camp in Hong Kong was relatively large, but with the end of the movement, many people broke their faith, ran and walked, and even changed their course and defected to the "sworn enemy" Hong Kong British government. At present, neither the leftist nor the mainland in the Hong Kong market are welcomed, and mainland films are naturally extremely unwelcome.

This situation has not changed even after decades, and has even intensified. Feng Xiaogang once became angry because of this, saying that Hong Kong audiences don't care about us at all, and they know that they are talking about DIU to mainland films.

Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number" only achieved a box office of 800,000 in Xiangjiang, how much box office will "Hoe Rape" achieve?

Xu Wangqiu believes that "Hoe Rape" should perform better than "Assembly Number", after all, "Hoe Rape" is forty years earlier than "Assembly Number", and there is no such realistic shootout film before "Hoe Rape".

When the plane landed in Xiangjiang, Xu Wangqiu and Bao Qijing were already familiar with each other. Xu Wangqiu learned a lot about the situation in the film industry in Xiangjiang, knew that Bao Qijing went to the mainland to shoot "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", and also knew that Bao Qijing met Taizong in Huangshan and took a photo with Taizong; and Bao Qijing also knew that Xu Wangqiu was a student of Nortel's directing department and an actor in the movie "Hoe Rape".

Bao Qijing knew that Xu Wangqiu was here with someone from China Film Company, and knew that they had someone to pick them up. After the plane landed, Bao Qijing said hello to Xu Wangqiu, and got off the plane with her luggage.

When she walked to the exit, Bao Qijing saw a group of leftist/faction bigwigs. There are not only actors such as Xia Meng, but also Fu Qi, the boss of the Great Wall, Liao Yiyuan, the boss of Xinlian, and others, and the lineup is very strong. Xia Meng is a legend of Xiangjiang movies and has many fans. Even though she was wearing brown sunglasses, people kept recognizing her and coming to her for autographs. Bao Qijing was secretly surprised in her heart, such a big guy is here, even Xia Meng is here, it seems that everyone attaches great importance to the drama "Hoe Rape"!

Bao Qijing took a light breath and walked over to Xia Meng and them with her luggage. Xia Meng and the others are all Bao Qijing's elders, they grew up watching her, and they all knew that she came back from filming in the mainland, and they asked her about filming in the mainland. Bao Qijing said briefly, and then said with a smile: "You guys are picking up the crew of "Hoe Rape", I met them on the plane." ”

Bao Qijing turned her head to look, and saw Xu Wangqiu and them walking towards this side with their luggage, so she pointed and said, "They are here." ”

Xu Wangqiu saw a sign holding at the exit with the words "hoe rape crew" written on it, and saw Bao Qijing under the sign, knowing that this group of people were Xiangjiang's comrades, so he said to Zhao Dan and them: "That's the person from Xiangjiang who came to pick us up." ”

Xu Wangqiu and the others walked over quickly, and the Xiangjiang filmmakers greeted them. The filmmakers in Xiangjiang were very enthusiastic about Xu Wangqiu and them, and the people closest to Xu Wangqiu stepped forward to help them with their luggage, shook hands and hugged them, and said words of welcome. The crowd of people who picked up and left the station looked over and whispered what was going on.

Hu Jian, vice president of China Film Company, is responsible for the export of mainland films to Xiangjiang, and is also responsible for the distribution of Xiangjiang films in China. You must not know these three, they are newcomers who have recently emerged in our mainland film industry. This is Comrade Fang Shu, who played the little radish head in "Eternal Life in the Fire"; this is Comrade Zhou Lijin; and I would like to introduce this Comrade Xu Wangqiu, the director and screenwriter of the movie "Hoe". ”

Everyone present couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw that Xu Wangqiu was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he turned out to be the director and screenwriter of "Hoe Rape". Bao Qijing's mouth opened into an O-shape, and her eyes instantly burst into a layer of shock that could not be concealed, and she looked straight at Xu Wangqiu, obviously only eighteen or nineteen years old, how could he be a director! How could this be? He was really a director!

After Xu Wangqiu greeted all the seniors, he saw Bao Qijing standing outside the crowd, looking at herself with a strange look, knowing that she was confused by the fact that she was the director, and chuckled: "Sister Bao, I didn't lie to you, right? ”

Bao Qijing also smiled: "You are a few years younger than my brother, I didn't expect you to be a director!" She then added with a smile: "You said that you will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, I remember your words, don't forget it!"

"I will not forget, if possible, I am willing to cooperate with Comrade Xiangjiang. After saying this, Xu Wangqiu suddenly smiled, "By the way, are you interested in playing a female spy?"
