Chapter 2 Planning for Life

Since the 60s, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea have pursued an export-oriented strategy, focusing on the development of labor-intensive processing industries, and have achieved economic take-off in a short period of time, known as the Asian Tigers.

Xiangjiang has also become a well-developed and wealthy region in Asia, and it was already very prosperous in the 80s.

Hop directly on the bus and arrive at St. Stephen's Church Secondary School, the high school attended by Zhang Xiaoye and Zhou Huimin, who are not only in the same school, but also in the same class.

There is a huge difference between the high school in Xiangjiang and the one experienced by Zhang Xiaoye in the previous life, and St. Stephen's Church Middle School directly belongs to the Heung Kong Anglican Church, which is an important group in the history of modern Christianity in China, and the school run by it naturally cannot escape the religious factor.

However, St. Stephen's Church Middle School has very complete facilities, which were not available in Zhang Xiaoye High School in the previous life, such as special indoor badminton courts, basketball courts, etc., as well as independent music rooms.

Studying in this school, not only can you learn the knowledge in the textbooks, but also cultivate a lot of hobbies, Zhou Huimin has a soft spot for piano, which is already almost at the level of level six.

Everything in the school is so fresh for Zhang Xiaoye, a traveler who has experienced a completely different environment, and he feels relishing everything he sees, so there is no boring feeling of starting over again in class.

The academic performance of the predecessor is also very good, and after fusing the memory, Zhang Xiaoye will not feel difficult in class, but compared to before, it is impossible for him to attend class without distraction.

Traveling to such an era, his mind has already been activated, although he is sitting in the classroom, although his eyes are staring at the teacher's endless lectures in class, his heart has long since wandered away.

This era has opened the door for itself, but how to embrace the world? Zhang Xiaoye had this question in his mind, and immediately took out his notebook, but it had nothing to do with class notes.

Looking through the brand new ones, he wrote the four numbers "1983" on them, and then stopped.

I wrote about this year's year, but what I was thinking about was much more than that, after all, if you want to summarize and summarize, you can't just focus on the thing itself without considering the cause and effect.

In September 80, Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming established New Art City Film Co., Ltd. with the support of Lei Juekun, the boss of the Golden Princess, and then Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Teddy Robin, and Zeng Zhiwei successively entered the family and formed the Seven Monsters of New Art City.

The seven people have their own strengths, brainstormed and made a series of blockbuster movies, and soon gained a firm foothold, especially the first "Bald Detective" in the best partner series released last year, which received a record 26.04 million box office.

This work is of great significance to the entire Xiangjiang film industry, it has created a fashion blockbuster trend of Xiangjiang films.

For the first time in "Best Partner", there is a drag racing chase and a big scene of cars colliding with each other, although it is also very shabby from the perspective of later generations, but in this era, it is enough to shock the audience.

With the rise of New Art City, both Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have felt great pressure, especially the Shaw Brothers who have sunset, and the market has been eaten away step by step, and it has reached the point of no sustainability.

In order to fight against the booming New Art City, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest joined forces for the first time and used a double-line joint screening to fight against it, but this still couldn't help the New Art City, so that Shaw Brothers withdrew from the film industry to focus on TV series, and even sold its Shaw Brothers Cinema Line.

This year, the second part of the best partner series, "Showing Magical Powers", will sweep Hong Kong again, and Golden Harvest has also created "Five Lucky Stars" to compete with it, and the classic Lucky Star series in Hong Kong film history has officially kicked off.

In the end, both films were hugely successful, occupying the top two of the annual box office charts respectively, but in terms of rankings, Golden Harvest was once again weaker, and it will only be able to win back next year.

That is, in 82, "Film Fortnightly" initiated the establishment of the Xiangjiang Film Awards, and Xu Guanwen, the king of comedy before Xing Ye, known as the cold-faced laugher, became the first Academy Award actor.

Martial arts actress Hui Yinghong became the first Academy Award actress with her wonderful performance in "Elders", and the best director was won by Fang Yuping for "Father and Son", which also won the Best Film Award.

The first Academy Awards only set up five awards, there was no list of nominees, and the remaining best screenwriter was Zhang Jianting, and the winning script was "The Story of Hu Yue" directed by Xu Anhua.

There are only five awards, including Best Screenplay, but in fact, in today's Xiangjiang film industry, there are few directors who have such a thing as a script, often just have a general story and then shoot it......

In terms of music, his brother Zhang Guorong, who has not released a film for many years, will release two records this year, including the classic "The Wind Continues to Blow".

Principal Tan, who is always twenty-eight years old, will soon release the album "Late Spring" after last year's "Lover Goddess", which is still the era of Tan Zhang's hegemony, after the first generation of singer Xu Guanjie gradually faded out, all the honors in the music world belong to them.

That is, this year, TVB will hold the first Golden Melody Awards, but there are no heavyweight awards for the most popular male and female singers.

Literature...... Well, there's really not a lot of information about this, because there's less exposure to it, so there's not much of it in the brain.

In Zhang Xiaoye's impression, Xiangjiang literature seems to be more inclined to entertaining popular novels such as martial arts and romance, and Mr. Jin Yong and Yishu are among the representatives.

It may be because the light of martial arts is too bright, thus covering up other types of light, after all, every Chinese has a dream of martial arts and has far-reaching influence.

It's just that Mr. Jin Yong announced the closure of the pen after writing "The Deer and Ding Ji" in 72, in addition to the things of "Ming Pao", that is, there is nothing to do, and he repairs (xia) and revises (gai) the previous works every three or five times.

Other Xiangjiang writers Zhang Xiaoye are almost not familiar with each other, and Huang Yi has not yet started his creative career, and Mr. Gu Long, another leading figure in martial arts novels, has also reached the end of his creative career.

Zhang Xiaoye wrote down three words in his notebook: movies, music, and literature, and after thinking about it, he added TV series.

In 80, TVB's "SH Beach" was broadcast, and for a time the entire Xiangjiang was empty, and this year, which is recognized as the most classic version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", is about to appear on the screen.

Just thinking of this, Zhou Huimin, who was in the front seat, turned his head and used his textbook to block the teacher's vision and whispered: "Why are you in a daze, why don't you say a word today?"

is only sixteen years old, Zhou Huimin's height is already more than 160 cm, and she is very tall, so she and Zhang Xiaoye have the same seat as the back, which is also convenient for the two of them to talk in class.

If it were usual, Zhou Huimin would have been "harassed" many times, but today Zhang Xiaoye has not said a word, which is very abnormal.

Zhang Xiaoye leaned on the table and said, "It's nothing, I'm planning my life." ”

"And bragging, we're only a freshman in high school, what kind of life are we planning. "I'm usually used to bragging, so now I tell the truth Zhou Huimin doesn't believe it, this is a wolf story.

Zhang Xiaoye didn't care, and said, "Amin, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Zhou Huimin shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it, but I hope I can earn money as soon as possible, so that my mother will not be so tired." ”

She is very considerate of her mother, but after all, she is still just a young girl, and she is powerless in many things.

Zhang Xiaoye smiled and said: "Amin, you don't have to worry about this matter, you will marry me sooner or later, of course I am responsible for making money to support my family." ”

"Who said I had to marry you. Zhou Huiminqiao blushed, made a grimace at Zhang Xiaoye and turned her head back.

"Amin Amin. Zhang Xiaoye shouted a few more times, but Zhou Huimin did not react.

After a pause, Zhang Xiaoye shouted twice, and at this time, it seemed that Zhou Huimin's shyness had dissipated, and he leaned back on the back of the chair and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Xiaoye smiled and said, "Call my husband to listen." ”

Zhou Huimin suddenly blushed again, and scolded angrily, "you." ”

Zhang Xiaoye smiled, and the fun brought by flirting with the little beauty made him feel happy in his heart, at this time, the teacher on the podium lowered his face and said sharply: "The two students in the back, please be quiet and listen to the class." ”

Zhou Huimin glanced at Zhang Xiaoye, and hurriedly sat upright, not daring to speak again.

Zhang Xiaoye also hurriedly pretended to listen attentively, and his attention was on the four keywords he had just written in his notebook.

These are not only the things that impress him the most, but also the things he likes, in fact, it is precisely because he likes everything that he will have a lot of contact, so he will be impressed.

Since I am now standing at the door of such a golden age, of course, I want to do what I like, and at the same time, it is also to conform to the glory of this era.

In his previous life, he longed to use words to scold Fang Xuan, laugh and scold the world. yearn for the spotlight on the stage, and sing the joys, sorrows and sorrows of others with singing. yearn for every actor to interpret a different life. yearn to be a director and tell all kinds of magnificent stories through the lens.

So he has been working hard, but until he crossed over, he was just a lame Internet writer, music was still just a personal hobby, and he couldn't even pass the audition when he participated in the talent show.

As for the director and actors, this is really just a thought, although they are delusional that one day they can succeed in online articles, and then use this as a springboard to become a screenwriter and enter the film and television industry, but unfortunately, the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny.
