Yue Yiling didn't understand the truth, and Dong Chenxi didn't understand either.

So when she sent Zhao Fusheng away the next day, she asked Zhao Fusheng about the doubts in her heart.

"Why does Liu Dehua want to offer you such a high price?" Dong Chenxi asked Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "What, don't you think I'm worth this price?"

After all, 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, converted into RMB, is about 210,000, which is really a high price according to normal terms.

Dong Chenxi nodded, everyone is not an outsider, she naturally has something to say, and she doesn't need to think about it so much.

Zhao Fusheng sat in the waiting hall, glanced at the scenery outside the window, and muttered for a moment before he spoke: "You have also heard in the past few days, the film market in Hong Kong, isn't it very bad?"

Dong Chenxi was stunned: "That's right, I know this." ”

Because when Zhao Fusheng asked for information before, she checked it and found that in recent years, the Hong Kong film market has indeed gone downhill.

Speaking of which, 20 years ago, that is, 1979, was an important milestone for Hong Kong cinema, and it was the beginning of the new wave of Hong Kong cinema. A large number of behind-the-scenes TV workers have turned to the film industry, including Ann Hui, Cheung Kwok-ming, Tam Ka-ming, Yim Hao, Tsui Hark, Yu Yunkang, etc., who have made many personal film works based on their enthusiasm for film, as well as the unique creativity and social sense of young people, opening a new page for Hong Kong films, and many of these works can express these directors' feelings and feelings about the social climate at that time.

Although these new directors are all called "New Wave directors", in fact, each of their works is very personal and does not fall into the traditional model of Hong Kong cinema. Ann Hui's works exude a deep sense of humanity and a high degree of femininity. Tsui Hark has a nervous tension, and Fang Yuping's style is simple and realistic. Yan Hao wandered between youthful violence and indifferent subtlety. Tan Jiaming takes the aesthetics of the middle class, Zhang Guoming is good at making police films, etc., these characteristics have experienced the aesthetics of the authorship of New Wave films.

The New Wave marked a break with the previous generation of Chinese-based Cantonese films. Cantonese films of the 50s and 60s were often burdened with heavy national baggage and failed to break through innovations, while New Wave films had a strong urban flavor and a strong local sensibility, which had a lot to do with the fact that the directors grew up in Hong Kong and were educated in the West.

In addition, the films of this period were cautious in the use of big stars, and the production costs were also controlled, which was completely different from the later business model of Hong Kong-made films flaunting Kashi stars and producing tens of millions of dollars at every turn.

Hong Kong's film industry has always been dominated by commerce, and the New Wave films are not popular, so it is inevitable that they will be eliminated. In the early 80s, New Arts City Pictures sprung up, absorbing a large number of up-and-coming directors at that time: John Woo, Tsui Hark, Lin Lingdong, Gao Zhisen, etc., to concoct a commercial film, of which comedy is the mainstay.

Compared with the new wave that emerged at the end of the 70s, Hong Kong films in the 80s were too focused on plot stacking and star packaging, so the film genre was one-way, let alone authorship. Some people think that the films of this period created stars, stifled the creation of directors and screenwriters, and made Hong Kong films go into decline, and the quality of Hong Kong films declined in the 80s, of course, the box office of the movies was still very good.

In recent years, Hong Kong films can basically still be called a hundred flowers blooming, but according to the tradition of Hong Kong films, there are always followers of the blockbuster genre, and when there are many followers and the standard is uneven, that is, the film genre is going to die. The boom in martial arts action movies is like this, and the gambling boom and the later Crazy Boy series are no exception.

By the mid-90s, the box office of Hong Kong films continued to decline, and Western films gradually rose. Hollywood blockbusters led by "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic" have swept the world.

In addition, the problem of piracy has dealt a heavy blow to the Hong Kong film market. It was only later that the Hong Kong government began to face up to the problem and the Customs and Excise Department gradually stepped up its crackdowns, which led to a slight curtailment of piracy activities.

But all in all, today's Hong Kong movies rarely have blockbusters with a box office of tens of millions, and so far this year, the best box office film has not even been 15 million.

"Liu Dehua doesn't care much about the 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. Zhao Fusheng looked at Dong Chenxi's expression, and knew that she must have understood what she meant, and said slowly: "Don't say anything else, he is worth at least tens of millions now, plus his girlfriend's family is also a rich family......

"Girlfriend?" Dong Chenxi was stunned for a moment: "Wait, you said Liu Dehua has a girlfriend?"

Zhao Fusheng was stunned for a moment, then glanced at her, and said with a smile: "You don't really believe the kind of news that he is single, right?"

Dong Chenxi's face suddenly became bitter, and the whole person looked a little depressed, it seemed that he was really hurt by Zhao Fusheng's words.

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhao Fusheng was also speechless, these stars really have no choice, the result of the public lover is that they have to be careful even if the talking partner gets married, for fear of accidentally hurting the glass hearts of fans, no wonder Liu Tianwang has been secretly married for so many years. If it were him, he would probably make the same decision as him.

"Okay, you go on, why did Liu Dehua spend such a high price. Dong Chenxi quickly calmed down and asked Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "It's very simple, as long as this thing is successful, he will be like the savior of Hong Kong movies, don't you understand?"

Dong Chenxi blinked, obviously waiting for Zhao Fusheng to continue explaining.

Zhao Fusheng sighed, the people around him sometimes have little talent, and it is also a headache, they all say that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, things gather people in groups, if Han Bin is here, he probably already understands what he means. But Dong Chenxi was obviously still in a fog, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Think about it, today's Hong Kong movies are in a trough, and the whole market is sluggish, if at this time, Liu Dehua's Tianmu Film produces a sophisticated Hong Kong film, and the box office and word-of-mouth win-win, what kind of scene will it be?"

Zhao Fusheng asked Dong Chenxi.

Dong Chenxi was stunned for a moment, and then said casually: "That kind of person Liu Dehua has become a god, and everyone will praise him." ”

"Yes, think about it, when Hong Kong films were in such a downturn, he discovered the script of a good movie, and when he was not sure how much box office the film would have in the future, he bought the work of a new mainland screenwriter at a high price, what kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit of throwing his head and spilling his blood for the development of Hong Kong films......

Seeing that Zhao Fusheng was getting more and more energetic, Dong Chenxi rolled his eyes and hurriedly held him down: "You have it, I understand, according to what you say, he is buying horse bones for others to see?"

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Yes, no matter what he does in this matter, it is right." The box office of the movie is good, and he gives me such a high script fee, everyone will think that he is prescient and willing to contribute to the revival of Hong Kong films. The box office of the movie is not good, and I took so much money from others, which is equivalent to owing him a big favor. ”

"Good calculation!" Dong Chenxi was silent for a long time before she said such a sentence, obviously, no matter what, she didn't expect that the idol she had always liked was such a shrewd person.

Zhao Fusheng knew that she must be uncomfortable in her heart now, but the facts are the facts, although there are many beautiful things in this world, they definitely do not include the stars of the entertainment industry, if they are really as pure and innocent as TV movies or usually show in front of the camera, to be honest, there will be many people who are unemployed......

After a long time, Zhao Fusheng saw that Dong Chenxi's mood also eased, and he simply smiled and said: "Let me tell you, in our industry, don't like a certain star, you know?"

"Why?" Dong Chenxi stood up, helped Zhao Fusheng with his luggage, and prepared to send him to the car.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and left Dong Chenxi with a meaningful sentence: "Because what you see is sometimes not necessarily true." ”

Looking at Zhao Fusheng's back, Dong Chenxi was thoughtful, she always felt that Zhao Fusheng had too many secrets, and they were also roommates who lived together, and Zhao Fusheng was much more complicated than her boyfriend Wang Zhen. At the very least, Wang Zhen will not be like Zhao Fusheng, giving people a feeling as if he has seen through the world.

In fact, Dong Chenxi really wronged Zhao Fusheng, for him, the evaluation of the four words of seeing through the world is too high.

Zhao Fusheng positioned himself as a layman, a pure layman.

As a layman, he likes money and loves to look at beautiful women, this is a matter of course, but Zhao Fusheng is more principled and has a limit, he knows what he wants.

..................

Two days later, Zhao Fusheng's feet fell on the land of Ninghai, looking at the buildings of Ninghai Airport, Zhao Fusheng shook his head and was speechless.

If I remember correctly, fifteen years later, Ninghai Airport has not changed anything except for the renovation of the terminal.

The development speed of the city seems to have derailed the development speed of the whole country, and even, in Zhao Fusheng's memory, even if the housing prices in the third and fourth tier cities in China have risen to five or six thousand, the housing prices in Ninghai, that is, more than three thousand yuan, are already a very good geographical location.

"It's really a place to feed the poor. Zhao Fusheng muttered to himself, walked out of the airport, got into a taxi, and the destination was naturally to go home.
