472 [Director Song]
Liu Jiachang and his wife stayed in the United States, but did not live with Wang Zijun, but found a house on Tang Jin Street to settle down temporarily
Wang Zijun took Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao and others from Los Angeles to Hong Kong, and then returned to Taiwan. In the north, the Lunar New Year has passed.
Back to the stage. As soon as Bai Muyang inquired from the north, he learned that he was not the only one who had the task of filming a political propaganda film. Li Xing's "Story of a Small Town" (Teresa Teng sang the theme song "Story of a Small Town") was originally a literary romance film, but it was also temporarily caught as a national film, ready to be screened after the Spring Festival.
The post-production of "On the Ridge of Success" of the Chinese Manufacturer has not yet been completed, and it is urged to be released quickly. The opening ceremony of this film was in Taiwan. The Officers' Club of the Three Services was held and was personally presided over by the Chief of the General Staff.
This is still a film made last year, after the Republic of China severed diplomatic relations with the United States, China Film Studio was given the task of cooperating with political propaganda, and is now preparing to shoot "Gu Ningtou Victory".
The so-called great victory of Guningtou is the battle of Kinmen on the mainland on the other side. In this battle, the People's Liberation Army attacked Dajinmen, and the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army who landed on the island fought three times, and the whole army was annihilated.
This was a rare victory for the Kuomintang army during the Kuomintang-Communist War, and at this critical time, it was natural to turn it over and fry cold rice. As for the purpose, it's to the platform. The people of the Nation said, don't panic, the severance of diplomatic relations is not terrible, and our Nationalist Government still has the confidence and ability to defeat the "communist bandits."
The employees of Wang's Film Company have already taken annual leave, and Wang Zijun is embarrassed to trouble the screenwriters of the screenwriting department now, so he writes it himself.
The theme of "Gu Ning's Victory" was robbed by China Film, and Wang Zijun really can't think of any other big victory that can be bragged about. After thinking about it, Wang Zijun found a new way, and made a spy war movie.
I didn't bother to use my brain to be original, and directly copied the movie version of "The Wind". The plot has been slightly changed.,Of course, the frontal entries are all Kuomintang intelligence recruits.,The main villain is Japan.,Piggybacking on the black. A pair of spies.
The entire script was created by Wang Zijun in only two years, and then sent directly to the home of the director of the Information Bureau.
During the time that Wang Zijun stayed in the United States, Taiwan. The official bosses of the Bay film industry have changed a lot, the China Film Company has been reformed, the general manager Mei Changling has retired, and he is succeeded by Ming Ji. The director of the information bureau, who manages cultural publications, has also been replaced by James Soong.
Yes, it was that Song Chuyu, Wang Zijun took the script he drove out, and on the night of the 28th day of the lunar month, he bypassed the director of the Film Business Division of the Information Bureau and went directly to Song Chuyu's house to find him for review.
James Soong is only in his 30s this year, and his two supervisors when he was studying for a doctorate in the United States were one of Bush Sr.'s think tanks and the other was the director of the CIA station in Taiwan, and he had a close relationship with Chiang Ching-kuo. Coupled with Song Chuyu's own ability, once he returned to Taiwan. Wan joined the Executive Yuan as a secretary and became Chiang Ching-kuo's English translator. After the Republic of China severed diplomatic relations with the United States, the Information Bureau had a heavy task, so Chiang Ching-kuo transferred Ding Maoshi away, and made Soong Chuyu, who was quite important, the director of the Information Bureau, to deal with the heavy responsibility of public opinion propaganda work.
Of course, Song Chuyu's rise so fast also has something to do with his background. Soong Chuyu's father was a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang and had a close personal relationship with Chiang Ching-kuo, who was Soong's uncle.
Explaining his intentions, Wang Zijun was invited to wait in the living room by the maids of the Song Mansion.
Sitting on the sofa and drinking tea, Wang Zijun casually looked at the furnishings in the living room, the decoration here is very simple, no different from the ordinary middle class, and I don't know if Song Chuyu is really simple, or to cater to Jiang Jingguo's preferences.
Faintly, Wang Zijun could even hear Song Chuyu's scolding voice, and he seemed to be on the phone. …,
Although Wang Zijun couldn't hear the content of the call clearly, he probably guessed why Song Chuyu was angry.
Just when Wang Zijun took Lin Qingxia and others back to Taiwan. At that time, the famous "bridgehead incident" broke out in Kaohsiung. The reason was that Yu Dengfa was arrested on suspicion of rebellion and gangsters, and a large group of democratic scholars gathered in Yu Dengfa's hometown to demonstrate and distribute leaflets, demanding that the Kuomintang authorities immediately and unconditionally release Yu Dengfa and his son. Kang Ningxiang, who was a member of the "increased legislator" at the time, and 58 other "non-party scholars" jointly wrote a letter to Chiang Ching-kuo, expressing "serious protest" against the arrest of Yu's father and son.
As time passed, the matter became more and more troublesome, and the Nationalist Government's act of arresting the "crime of wanting to add to it" aroused the dissatisfaction of intellectuals throughout the island. As the director of the Information Bureau, Song Chuyu is now busy with this matter.
In fact, Yu Dengfa's crime of rebellion and banditry was indeed deliberately placed by the Nationalist Government. However, Chiang Ching-kuo had no choice but to arrest him, and even if there were a few more demonstrations, the authorities would still convict him.
Yu Dengfa was born in the southern part of Taiwan. Bay of the province into is Taiwan. The first non-Kuomintang county magistrate in the Bay Area, known as the "Tai. b. Wild Statesman".
However, he went a little too far, Yu Dengfa not only entered politics by himself, but his sons, sons, daughters, and sons-in-law were all brought into politics by him, plus the other protégés and disciples he cultivated, he became an existence like an emperor in Kaohsiung. What's more, Yu Dengfa is still getting involved with the democratic practitioners who are now making trouble everywhere, which is simply a big trouble for the authorities.
Therefore, the authorities took the risk of rejecting Yu Dengfa and arrested Yu Dengfa and his son for the crime of "banditry and rebellion" that no fool believes, otherwise if they are allowed to develop, I am afraid that the south will be out of the control of the Nationalist Government.
(Ten years later, Yu Dengfa died mysteriously, but the Yu family class he created became an important local faction in the DPP.) In fact, Yu Dengfa originally supported cross-strait reunification and openly shouted peaceful reunification during the Kuomintang's martial law period, which is also one of the evidences for the authorities' arrest. Later, he shouted for cross-strait reunification in the DPP's field, but was thrown eggs by the ** elements in the DPP. But his children, grandchildren and protégés, it's hard to say. Wang Zijun sat in the living room and waited for ten minutes before Song Chuyu's phone call was finished.
Because it was at home, Song Chuyu dressed very casually, but her hair was neatly groomed, and she said politely: "I'm really sorry for making Mr. Wang wait for a long time!" ”
"Where, Director Song is busy with business, I took the liberty to disturb it." Wang Zijun said.
The filming of political propaganda films is generally done by several Kuomintang film studios made by China Film, China and Taiwan, and the authorities rarely ask a specific director to shoot them.
asked Wang Zijun to make a patriotic film this time, which was actually what Song Chuyu requested. However, he did not issue a mandatory order, but sent an invitation to Wang Zijun, and Bai Muyang didn't dare to be careless when he heard it, because Song Chuyu is now in charge, and against his will, the Wang family will have no good fruit to eat in the future. Only stuck in the script review for a month or two, and then cut a few knives during the review, it was enough for Bai Muyang to cry.
Song Chuyu had already been in contact with Wang Zijun a few times, but Wang Zijun was still mixing in Asia at that time, and the sensation of "Into the Ghost Love" in Europe and the United States was only a flash in the pan. Who would have thought that Wang Zijun would be able to make such a big splash in the United States in the past two years, a "Changing Face" completely convinced the American audience, and Wang Zijun's game company also relied on a game console to share equally with the American game giant Atari.
Moreover, when Soong Chuyu was Chiang Ching-kuo's English secretary, he also heard a colleague in the know say that Chiang Ching-kuo's proud work "Taiwan. Bay well-off plan", which also has a lot of credit to Wang Zijun. even made Jiang Jingguo love talents, wanted to absorb Wang Zijun as his team, and gave up acting and politics. …,
Therefore, now Song Chuyu looks at Wang Zijun and does not use a top-down perspective, but puts the two sides in the same position. Putting aside Jiang Jingguo's weight on Wang Zijun, because this kind of weight has little practical significance, Wang Zijun's influence among the people cannot be ignored by Song Chuyu.
What's more, Wang Zijun's holding Wang's Food Company, Wang's Film Group (Wang's Film, Wang's Cinema, Wang's Cinema, Wang's Entertainment Agency), Superstar Film Company, Hanlin Publishing Group, Shuxiang Media ("Next Magazine"), Dream World Animation Company, Ren Yaotang Game Company, Haishan Records, and some other industries he has invested in, as well as Hong Kong's Jiayi Television, Japan's Asian Film Distribution Company, the United States' Dragon Tiger Film Company, Yaotang Technology Company, and so on. This long list of companies is lined up, and Wang Zijun's net worth is terrifying to think about.
What Song Chuyu didn't know was that more than half of the money Wang Zijun earned in the first oil crisis was used to buy shares in some American companies and enterprises, and these hidden assets were worth hundreds of millions.
For example, Coca-Cola, when the national stock market plummeted, the unit price of Coca-Cola's stock fell to less than $5, and Wang Zijun directly bought 6% of Coca-Cola's shares with $20 million. Until 1985, the stock price would skyrocket to $51.5 per share, more than tenfold. And when Coca-Cola takes root in markets such as Chinese mainland after the 90s, the money will grow.
Song Chuyu carefully observed the young man in front of him, who was ten years younger than him, and found no other characteristics except that he was handsome and relatively calm, but he was such a young man, and he actually started from scratch and became a billionaire in a few years.
"Director Song, this is the script I wrote, I bother you to take a look at it." Wang Zijun took out the script of "The Wind".
"Written so quickly?" Song Chuyu was surprised, and even a little doubtful that Wang Zijun was perfunctory to him.
Wang Zijun said: "After I received the news in the United States, I had already typed the draft there, and I got it out when I came back. This is a film in which our party's intelligence recruits, who sacrificed their lives and went through hardships and dangers, thwarted bandits and spies, and sent out important information under the noses of Japan's entry into the Wang puppet regime......"
Wang Zijun told the general plot, Song Chuyu was slightly surprised, he thought that Wang Zijun would make war movies, just like the current China Film is preparing to shoot "Gu Ningtou Victory" to defeat the communist army, but he didn't expect Wang Zijun to actually shoot a spy war.
"It seems that the rumors that Director Wang Zijun will have a new cut in filming are true, I have to take a closer look." Song Chuyu said with a smile. He wasn't joking, originally he wanted to detain the script and let the next one go for trial. But now that I'm interested, I'm ready to check it myself.
Wang Zijun said: "Any big director is praised by his peers. ”
Song Chuyu said in a joking tone: "I heard that your new film is very successful in the United States, do I want to help you promote it." ”
Now that public opinion on the island is in a miasma, it is still very good to use entertainment news like Wang Zijun to divert the attention of the people. At present, James Soong's main task is to rely on the severance of diplomatic relations between the Republic of China and the United States to unite the national patriotic sentiments on the island, then guide public opinion, establish hatred of the Communist Party on the island, eliminate the negative feelings and frustration of the people, and divert the attention of intellectuals from the democratic movement.
Wang Zijun said with a smile: "Director Song, I don't have the money to pay for advertising. ”
"Don't cry poor, who doesn't know that you've made hundreds of millions of dollars from the Yankees." Song Chuyu said.
"The Yankees are just stupid and have a lot of money." Wang Zijun said with a smile, "If Director Song wants to publicize, Time Magazine after the third death is a good publicity point, and I am the cover of this issue." ”
"The Time magazine in the United States?" James Soong, who is studying for a doctorate in the United States, does not know the influence of Time magazine, and only important political sources such as Mao Taizu, Premier Zhou, Chairman Chiang, Soong Meiling, and Pu Yi can enter China. At the beginning of the month, Time magazine listed Mr. Deng on the other side of the strait as its annual report, but it caused quite a stir in the island's political circles. …,
"Not bad." Wang Zijun nodded and said.
Song Chuyu began to think psychologically, this can be promoted, and Wang Zijun is regarded as the hero of the first Asian star on the cover of "Time", which is used to divert the public's attention to the "bridgehead incident".
Wang Zijun was left by Song Chuyu to have dinner with his family, Song Chuyu's husband Chen Wanshui is Wang Zijun's National Taiwan University alumnus, slightly fat, and Song Chuyu's 11-year-old son Song Zhenyuan. As for Song Chuyu's later daughter who wore jeans with holes and formed an electroacoustic orchestra, she has not yet been born.
11-year-old Song Zhenyuan is very sensible, and when he saw Wang Zijun, he actually greeted his uncle, and then obediently sat down to eat, occasionally curiously Wang Zijun looked at him.
Song Fujin did not talk to Wang Zijun about political matters, but chatted with Wang Zijun about makeup and dressing, and asked Wang Zijun what clothes to wear for a woman of her age and figure to look generous and solemn.
After a dinner, Wang Zijun said goodbye and left, and Song Fujin sent him out all the time.
Waiting for Li Jinghao, who was outside, to get out of the car and open the car door, Wang Zijun sat on it and began to think about the selection of the director of "The Wind", he didn't think about directing it himself, but wanted to take a break, and he was directly busy with movies for more than a year, which already made him feel a little physically and mentally exhausted. However, in this movie, he will still have the title of director in the end, lest Song Chuyu think he is perfunctory.
As for what Song Chuyu said about helping him publicize, it was really unbelievable.
The movie "The Face Snatcher" will be on stage after the Spring Festival. b. Screen, Taiwan. b. Premiere in Taiwan. Held at the Golden Lion Theater near the North Lion Grove Department Store.
By the way, the Golden Lion, Silver Lion, and Baoshi Theaters there all belong to Wang's Cinema Line, and Han Yucheng, the general manager of Wang's Cinema Line, has just spent a lot of money to build. The first multiplex cinemas in the b. There is only one screening room in a cinema.
