Chapter 313: Finally Falling

If a star dies young or retires bravely, he may unexpectedly become a legend, and if he is replaced by a screenwriter, there will be no such repercussions. Pen~fun~Ge www.biquge.info entered the industry in 1981, and since then Wong Bingyao, who has become Sammo Hung dedicated screenwriter, is considered by Zhang Junyi to be the most powerful screenwriter in Xiangjiang in the eighties, the script is written quickly and well, and the comedy talent is superb, with his screenwriting "Lucky Star Gaozhao" and "Truant Dragon" in the previous life was the annual box office champion, "Dragon Boy", "Summer Lucky Star" and "Rich Train" are the box office runners-up, "Beware of Little Hands", "Royal Senior Sister", "Dragon's Heart", "Oriental Condor" and "Spicy Hand Detective" are all classics, among which the "Fuxing Series" and the psychedelic zombie film can be said to be the signature works of Golden Harvest Company against New Art City in the previous life. In addition to comedies and action movies, Wong Bingyao can also adapt to the situation, transcribing the literary film "A Tale of Two Cities" to make Zeng Xiaozi win the Golden Statue Best Actor. He played the role of "Deadly Scissor Feet" in "Truant Dragon" is very popular, and when he was about to develop as an actor and screenwriter, he unfortunately died of a heart attack in Germany, this event directly triggered the establishment of the Xiangjiang Film Writers Association in his previous life, which is the special significance of Huang Bingyao, who died young, to the Xiangjiang screenwriter industry.

Luo Qirui and Zhang Wanting were also representatives of husband and wife in the Xiangjiang film industry in their previous lives, from the biennial "immigration trilogy" - "Illegal Immigrant", "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Eight Liang Gold" to "Song Family Dynasty" and "City of Glass" are all written by Luo Qirui and directed by Zhang Wanting, these are all literary films with heavy feelings, but Zhang Wanting only put forward the framework and synopsis, and the various details and small dialogues in the script are enriched by Luo Qirui little by little. In addition to a few comedies, Luo Qirui's literary films are all about depicting people's simple and subtle emotions in the big era, so far, he has won the Academy Award or the Golden Horse Award for Best Screenplay four times with "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Seven Little Blessings", "City of Glass" and "The Thief of Time". Compared with Luo Zhang's husband and wife file, Fang Lingzheng and Luo Zhuoyao, another husband and wife pair, were not so lucky, Fang Lingzheng was nominated for Best Screenplay for nine films, but none of them won awards.

The candidate is determined, and the rest is the follow-up recruitment, and then the rest of the things don't need Zhang Junyi to do it himself, after all, the current Zhang Junyi and his company have become a veritable existence in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, so whether it is in terms of strength or fame, I no longer want Zhang Junyi to personally recruit as when he first founded the company, anyway, even if Zhang Junyi is close to the people, if he uses himself to worry about such a thing, then Zhang Junyi will just close the company directly.

To tell the truth, in fact, with Zhang Junyi's financial resources now, the profits created by Xiangjiang's films are basically better than nothing for him, even if Zhang Junyi is completely let go now, his film companies and theaters will not be too far behind before, but with the expansion of Hollywood's global influence, the development of Xiangjiang films has indeed fallen into a quagmire, and if it is backward, it will be beaten For this famous saying of a great man, Zhang Junyi is convinced, so no matter how capable he is, Zhang Junyi wants to contribute his own strength to the development of the local film industryOnly by making high-quality films can we call on more people to support local films, hoping that it can survive the most difficult times.

After all, if you want to save the Xiangjiang film market and make Xiangjiang's movies not as lonely as in the previous life, whether it is moral binding or national righteousness, it is a palliative rather than a cure, and only by catching up with anger and making better works to give back to the audience can we avoid the decline of Xiangjiang films.

After all, it is really like in the previous life, a few decades later, the local movies of Xiangjiang ended up lonely because no one watched them, and how should the image of Xiangjiang be shown to others?

Zhang Junyi because of the memory of his previous life and the final ending of the Xiangjiang movie, it can be said that he knows how the future Xiangjiang film industry will die, it is normal for the quality of the movie to be uneven, and it is normal for there to be good and bad, but Xiangjiang movies are not only like this after many years, in the future, Xiangjiang movies have formed a cycle of strength and death, that is, serious follow-up, often a good theme is made into a good movie, and there will be countless people who will follow the trend to make similar or even identical movies, and some even have a word difference in name, if you don't know it, you must not be able to tell if these are two movies, not a sequel or something。

It's okay if you follow the trend and shoot well, but Zhang Junyi has seen a lot of shoddy works that follow the trend, except for the similarity in the name, there is no merit at all, this is completely killing chickens and eggs, maybe you can make profits in the short term, but in the long run, it is completely worth the loss, it is difficult to find a new theme that can be put on the big screen, but it is really easy to destroy a genre.

In Zhang Junyi's view, it is actually right to follow the trend to make money, but it must be done in moderation, even Hollywood understands this over-the-top truth, try not to hurt this genre while making money, and wait for the audience to spend this period of aesthetic fatigue before opening this kind of movie again.

This is a very rational approach, because Hollywood is under the control of several giants, no one will be stupid enough to hurt this 'big cake', hurting others and not benefiting themselves, and the audience is not stupid, no one buys shoddy things, and if you spend a lot of investment to follow the trend, the audience will lose money if you don't buy it, and it is not without such examples.

In other countries, although there is a phenomenon of following the trend, most of them strive to innovate and shoot the same subject matter with different effects, so that the audience can go to the cinema again and again to support local films.

But this is not the case in Xiangjiang, these profiteers who only care about their own interests are like a stinky fish that spoils a pot of soup, anyway, people make a vote and run away, what to do with the mess left behind?

The unrestricted following trend and shoddy production are the main reasons for the final loneliness of Xiangjiang movies.

To be honest, in his previous life, Zhang Junyi had seen almost all the movies in Xiangjiang, even if many of them were not seen by himself, through the memory of the unknown director in his mind, Zhang Junyi could also know very clearly, among the so many Xiangjiang movies that Zhang Junyi knew, there were many plots that were not worth scrutinizing, so I don't mention it, it is a script problem, it is a hard injury, basically there is something that the movie will not take into account.

But compared to these, attitude is the most critical factor, just like the invasion of the Korean Wave in the past and future, why can the entertainment culture of a stick country blow a tornado in Asia?

People have a serious attitude, they can shoot a movie just to conceive the lighting design problem for two years to do it, for the details of other periods, the leading actors have trained for a full 3 months, for the rigor of the art, the details can be said to be the extreme.

On the other hand, in the movies of Xiangjiang after 2000, of course, except for the so-called rescue work "Infernal Affairs", the goofs have almost become pediatrics, and the actor is covered in blood in the first shot, and the next shot is in white clothes.

No matter how good the "Infernal Affairs" series is, it can't save the dying Xiangjiang movie, and the Xiangjiang movie can't be saved by just one or two extremely high-quality works.

The very unserious attitude of these producers of Xiangjiang Film and Television Company also brought Zhang Junyi a lot of bad feelings, and he really couldn't agree with this mentality of making money first and quality second.

In Zhang Junyi's view, it is okay to make money, but the quality of the work must be worthy of the money paid by the audience, which is a win-win situation. No one is a fool who has been deceived once, twice, or three times, will he continue to be deceived? This kind of practice of harming the market is simply digging a grave for himself.

So sometimes Zhang Junyi can't help but wonder how many problems in the Hong Kong film circle need to be solved? Although the film market in Hong Kong seems to be prosperous and thriving, is this prosperity contributed by a normal film market? How much of its box office is made with heart, and how much of it can be scientifically invested in excellent productions? And how many people are confused by this false prosperity?

。。。。。。 Golden Section。。。。。。

This time, Zhang Junyi's secret return to Xiangjiang has never appeared in public outside, even if he occasionally accompanies a few women with him, it has not attracted the attention of anyone outside, in addition, Zhang Junyi has been staying in his own home.

As time passed, the 'big event' expected by Zhang Junyi happened as usual like his previous life.

Following the visit of former British Prime Minister Edward Heath to China in April this year and the willingness to negotiate with Deng Lao, the Iron Lady still visited China for the second time on September 22, as in her previous life, after visiting China as the leader of the opposition in 1977.

On September 22, a Royal British Air Force plane landed slowly at Kyoto Airport. The Iron Lady walked down the ramp of the plane in a graceful manner, and shook hands with the Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Director of the Western European Department, the Governor of Xiangjiang, Sir Youde, and others who came to the airport to greet them.

On the morning of September 24, the Iron Lady first came to the Xinjiang Hall of the Great Hall of the People to talk with Mrs. Deng for a while, and then immediately left the Fujian Hall to talk with Mrs. Deng.

As soon as the talks began, the Iron Maiden struck first and played the first card she had already prepared, the "sovereign card". She said confidently: "The three treaties about Xiangjiang are written in black and white, and no one can erase this fact." Since these treaties still exist, they must be respected. If Huaxia recovers Xiangjiang, it will have a disastrous impact on Xiangjiang and undermine the prosperity of Xiangjiang. ”

Deng Lao said categorically: "Xiangjiang is the territory of China, and we must take it back!"

Deng Lao told the Iron Lady: "Our basic position on the Xiangjiang issue is clear, and there are three main issues here. One is the issue of sovereignty; the other is how Huaxia will manage the Xiangjiang after 1997 and continue to maintain its prosperity; and the third is that the Chinese and British governments should properly discuss how to ensure that the Xiangjiang River will not have major fluctuations in the 15 years between now and 1997. ”

Deng Lao further stated: "On the issue of sovereignty, Huaxia has no room for maneuver on this issue. Frankly, the question of sovereignty is not an issue that can be discussed. The time is now ripe for a clear affirmation: in 1997 Huaxia will take back Hong Kong...... Now, of course, not today, but no later than a year or two, Huaxia will officially announce the decision to take back Xiangjiang. We can wait another year or two for an announcement, but certainly not for any longer. ”

"To maintain the prosperity of Hong Kong, we hope to obtain the cooperation of the United Kingdom, but this does not mean that the continued prosperity of Hong Kong must be under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. The continued prosperity of Xiangjiang is fundamentally dependent on the implementation of policies suitable for Xiangjiang under the jurisdiction of Huaxia after Huaxia recovers Xiangjiang. The current political and economic system of Hong Kong, and even most of the laws, can be preserved, of course, some need to be reformed. Hong Kong will still be capitalist, and many of the appropriate systems in place will be maintained. We would like to have a broad exchange of views with people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and formulate our guidelines and policies for the next 15 years and the next 15 years. These guidelines and policies should be acceptable not only to the people of Hong Kong, but also to other investors in Hong Kong, first and foremost in the United Kingdom...... We hope that the two Governments will hold friendly consultations on this issue, and we will be very pleased to listen to the proposals made to us by the British Government. These take time. Why did we have to wait a year or two before we officially announced the resumption of Xiangjiang? I just hope to hold consultations with all parties during this time. ”

"We propose to reach an agreement that the two sides agree to start consultations on the Xiangjiang issue through diplomatic channels," Deng added. The premise is that in 1997, Huaxia will take back Xiangjiang, and on this basis, we will negotiate and resolve the issue of how to make a good transition in the next 15 years and what to do with Xiangjiang in the next 15 years. ”

Deng Lao's conversation was quite weighty, and the Iron Lady expressed serious consideration.

After the talks, the Iron Lady "walked out of the door lonely with a solemn face". She stepped down the stone steps of the north entrance of the Great Hall, looked up at the reporter on the lower right, suddenly smiled, turned her head to signal to the reporter, and tried to show her composure. As she continued to walk down, her high heels tripped over the stone steps, causing her body to lose her balance and fall to the bottom of the stone steps, and her leather shoes and handbag were thrown aside. Fortunately, she was on the verge of being on the ground, and the fall was not heavy. The attaché and staff on the side immediately stepped forward to help her up. The Iron Lady is worthy of being the Iron Lady, and after getting up, she looks calm, fully revealing her true character of a "strong woman" who is not shocked.

The Iron Lady was in a bad mood after two and a half hours of talking, and that was undeniable, even if her fall was purely accidental.
