When Wang Zijun took over the cinema of the Fangmingguan Gang, it was already more than a month after the release of "If the Wine Sells Nothing".

Let's not talk about that later.

Many filmmakers and media in Taipei have received invitations to Wang's premiere.

At this time, Wang's company launched a total of six movies, one TV series, and several more movies are being filmed. Except for Wang Zijun's shooting, all of them are small and medium-budget films by second-rate directors. is nothing more than a martial arts film adapted from a novel and some funny films, except for a poop diaper film that received a basket of rotten tomatoes and lost hundreds of thousands of accidents, the rest of the departments made a profit. However, except for Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Good Morning Taipei", other movies can only earn 1 million to 3 million Taiwan dollars, which can barely support the company's expenses.

As for the premiere, after Wang Zijun's "Bloody Lonely City", like the trailer broadcast on TV, it also began to become popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, only the big productions of famous artists are qualified to have the premiere, and it would be good for the small director to be released, and the premiere was a fart.

Wang Zijun is now in the limelight, and there is a political axe covering, whether other people are familiar with it or not, as long as they are invited, they must go, except for really important things that they can't leave.

It's just that Wang's premiere location this time is a bit strange, and it is actually in the mountains of Linkou - please go there to feed the mosquitoes or watch a movie?

At Taipei Railway Station, the charming beauties are wearing uniforms that look a little like flight attendants, but they are more fashionable than the current flight attendant uniforms, and they can highlight the figure of the female surname. On a hot day, they still wear cute silk scarves around their necks, and their handsome faces shine in the sun.

These beauties bent down with a smile in front of the bus, and said with a smile like a flower: "Ladies and gentlemen, please, this is the special car of Wang's Cinema!" We're here for you every step of the way. ”

"What the hell is this kid?" As the director of the Cultural Bureau, Wang Hongjun usually does not appear at this kind of premiere, but he can't hinder Wang Zijun's hippie smile, so he agreed to come over in a daze.

"I heard that Wang Zijun has a cinema in Linkou, but I haven't seen it yet." A famous director of China Film Studio said.

A beautiful woman in uniform introduced: "Our Wang company has a complete hotel catering system, which can accommodate more than 1,000 tourists for food and accommodation. There are also ancient cities and garden buildings, which can be used by major film companies to shoot costume dramas. From today, Wang's Cinema will be fully open to the public, whether it is tourism or filming, there will be a one-month 50% discount. At the same time, if the businessmen who are interested in investing in Wang's Cinema, Wang's company has set aside 200 acres of vacant land for everyone to build various service buildings. Everyone, please get on the bus! ”

Only then did everyone understand that Wang Zijun was promoting both the movie and the studio, killing two birds with one stone.

After several hours of bumpy driving, I finally came to the Linkou area, and along the way, the uniformed beauties dressed as flight attendants in later generations were making introductions: "This road into the mountain is also wholly funded by Wang's Film Company, which greatly facilitates the travel of the locals." The mountains and forests you see now are also the right to use them for 99 years after the Wang family purchased, which is very suitable for filming mountain and forest martial arts films and mythological scenes. The year before last, Wang's Film Company bought 2,000 acres of mountainous land here, and last year bought another 500 acres, which will be put into construction one after another. Now it has built the Qing Dynasty Changde City and a Ming and Qing Dynasty style garden, and also dug out a large lake, which is preparing to store water and plant lotus. Pavilions and pavilions will be built around this great lake, and a pavilion in the middle of the lake and a corridor will be built in the middle of the lake......"

Listening to the introduction of the beauty, these people gradually changed from the initial disbelief to surprise, and finally to horror!

The year before last, that is to say, before the filming of "Bloody Lonely City" officially started, Wang Zijun had already begun to tinker with this studio, and he was very thoughtful!

In recent years, many layman bosses have been crazy to integrate into the film industry, just because they have taken a fancy to the violence of movies and want to make a few bucks and leave. Therefore, many film companies and the movies they make are eager for quick success, and there is no long-term plan at all.

And like Wang Zijun, the company has not yet been established, and the movie has not been filmed, so he set out to build a cinema, and bought 2,000 acres of land at once, which is really unique.

This is very bold, Qiong Yao's novel was the most popular time, she and Xintao decided to invest in making movies by themselves, and they didn't think about building a studio, but rented a studio to shoot. In the end, it was because those studios were afraid that Qiong Yao would join the film industry, so they invariably increased the price, and Qiong Yao had to spend her own money to build a humble studio.

There has never been a bold person like Wang Zijun, if the movie hits the street, it will not only lose the film investment, but also the money in the cinema.

There are also some people who are jealous, thinking that this Wang Zijun is just lucky, if there is no bank loan of 10 million to him, where will he find money to buy land?

The car drove to the mountain, and gradually, a memorial arch engraved with the logo of "Wang's Cinema" appeared in everyone's sight, followed by Changde City, which had been completed.

The Changde City in front of you is less than one-tenth of the real ancient Changde City. But even so, people sighed heartily at first sight. This magnificent city is the handiwork of the 20-year-old young director.

Buses bypass the city and enter the dining and accommodation area on one side, where there are two hotels, one with a quaint restaurant and the other with a magnificent modern building.

Standing on the top of the restaurant, you can see the small garden in the distance, and there is a big pit dug out by one side that has not yet been irrigated - the big lake.

Due to the rise in prices and raw materials, the wages of workers have also risen somewhat, and the construction of Wang's Cinema has been temporarily halted a month ago. We will have to wait until prices have subsided, and then we will continue to work.

However, now Wang's expenses in all aspects are also large, and he has just bought a few theaters, so he actually doesn't have much money in his hands. After the construction continues, at most the buildings in and around the lake will be put back on hold for a while.

As for the Han and Tang Dynasty palaces, I don't know how many more years these things will have to wait for them to be built.

The big names in the film and media industry who were taken to the hotel, after washing off the dust on their faces, went to visit the garden and Changde City with great interest.

The beauties in the flight attendant uniforms also changed into very gorgeous ancient costumes and acted as tour guides for them: "Everyone, now that the cinema has just opened, there are not many tourists, so it looks a little deserted." Our studio has already contacted the local villagers, and in the future, they will wear ancient costumes and go into the city to sell snacks and groceries. All local villagers will not be charged any rent for the first year, and if someone from other places wants to enter the city to do business, their rent will be exempted for half a year. Look, this is an ancient restaurant, this is a jewelry store, and this is the Goolan Jiyuan ......"

"How much does it cost?" One director asked, dumbfounded.

"Only this Changde City, excluding the land, Wang's company has invested a total of nearly 30 million Taiwan dollars." The costume beauty said.

"30 million, hiss......" collectively spit out a cool breath.

It can be said that most of the money made by Wang's company is invested in the studio. This Changde City is the only complete city here today, it cost about 20 million in the early stage, only to make an embryo, like a restaurant or something has been repaired, but the inside is actually very simple. Now all kinds of decorations and decorations have cost nearly 10 million.

Moreover, if someone charters these restaurants in the future, many tables and chairs will have to be added by themselves.

After walking around the cinema and the mountains and forests, whether it is a reporter, a director, or the boss of a distribution company, Wang Zijun has nothing to say. If there is any word to describe their current mood, it is to be convinced.

If you don't accept it, after other people make money by making movies, they will build traditional studios, expand the scale of the company, update equipment, recruit more artists, and more often flash people after making box office, but do industry or stocks.

It is conceivable that if this cinema becomes popular, the price of these half-sold and half-given land will skyrocket. And the vacant land that has been set aside will also be bought by investors at a large price.

Travel, Vacation, Filming...... This cinema is completely built into a multi-purpose hideaway.

Now the cinema is still very simple and deserted in all aspects, but the people who come here today are knowledgeable and intelligent people, only seeing this prototype, if nothing else, the development of this cinema will be very terrifying.

If Wang Zijun is a businessman with no background, most of these people have already had the intention of hegemony, but the commendation order issued by the Ministry of Education a few days ago is a signal that there is a political axe behind Wang's back.

The evening premiere was held in the open air, a makeshift cinema.

Wang Zijun went up to apologize when he saw someone, saying that the venue was shabby, please bear with me.

"Where, where, Boss Wang has opened the eyes of us big bosses today." The invitees complimented one after another.

"Boss Wang, I'm going to shoot a costume drama in two months, and I'm going to shoot at Wang's Studios, you have to give me a discount." One of the directors laughed.

Wang Zijun said: "It must be, I am a cousin." The director who came here today, as long as the filming starts within three months, the rent of the studio of Wang's Cinema will be discounted by 5%, which is guaranteed to be cheaper than other studios. ”

"Okay, Boss Wang is refreshing!"

"I have also decided, the next drama will also be filmed here, and the scenery of that garden is very good."

"Yes, the environment here is very good, and the effect of live shooting is better than building props on the set."

All directors are touting, it is indeed like this, if Wang Zijun gives them a 50% discount, the effect is better than that of the traditional set, and the price is cheaper, it is natural to choose this place to film.

"Boss Wang, you're trying to rob us of our business." The boss of the Federal Film Company said with a bitter face that he also had a large studio under his hands, and he was robbed by Wang Zijun, and he didn't know how much business would fall.

Wang Zijun hurriedly comforted him and invited him to join in the construction of the cinema.

If you build the cinema with your own company, it is estimated that it will take one or two decades to build, but if other companies come together, it may be built in a few years.

Although the benefits will be divided, the money will be only a lot more.

It's just that prices have risen too much recently, capital has fluctuated greatly, everyone is very cautious in investing, and the boss of the federal corporation does not dare to agree to it immediately, so he can only say that he will take a look.

Qiong Yao also came today, but she came a little late, and only took a cursory turn in the garden. When I saw Wang Zijun, I was surprised and said: "It turns out that you are hiding it so tightly, and today is scary." ”

Wang Zijun said innocently: "Where did I hide it? I said a long time ago that I built a cinema by myself, but unfortunately not many people paid attention to it. ”

"What you just said about pulling people into the studio is true or false?" Qiong Yao asked.

Wang Zijun said: "Of course it's true. What, Sister Chen wants to invest? ”

Qiong Yao said: "I have this idea, but this thing is too expensive." It is somewhat inconvenient to temporarily turn over funds. ”

Wang Zijun said: "This is no problem, anyway, the work here is also suspended, let's talk about it when the price recovers." ”

Soon, Lin Qingxia, Sun Yue, Qin Xianglin, Ke Shouliang, the main creators were also present, and Zhao Yazhi and Lin Fengjiao also came to join in the fun.

Qiong Yao looked at Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao, and asked Wang Zijun in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Zijun pretended to be stupid and said, "What's going on?" ”

"Feng Jiao?" Qiong Yao said, "She used to look at you with resentment, but now she is indeed a little happy and dazed, something must have happened to you." ”

"Wouldn't you, you can see that?" Wang Zijun was surprised.

Qiong Yao said: "I am from here, so I can naturally see it at a glance." ”

Qiong Yao is still Ping Xintao's junior, and she will continue to do it for many years.

"This ......" Wang Zijun didn't know what to say.

Qiong Yao asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Wang Zijun said a little shyly: "I want both." ”

"Men just don't have contentment." Qiong Yao chirped, in fact, she asked this question mainly because she wanted to figure out Ping Xintao's mind through Wang Zijun's answer.

Just want both, is this possible?

Even Hong Kong abolished polygamy laws last year, and now only Macau still adheres to this bad custom.

The host of the premiere is a man and a woman, the woman is Bai Jiali invited from Taiwan TV, and the man is Wei Gang, a host of China TV. A few new singers from Haishan Company were invited to sing, and by the way, they helped these singers to promote, and after a few games, the premiere finally began.

Sun Yue is very nervous, he has been making movies for more than ten years, and he has never been so nervous except for the first time.

This is a drama in which he turned over, whether he can change from the villain's play to a positive role, it only depends on tonight.

Lin Qingxia took the initiative to shake hands with Wang Zijun, as if this would indicate that Wang Zijun was her exclusive. And Lin Fengjiao didn't have much heart to look at the screen, her eyes always looked at the place where the two held hands.

The tiger of Wang's company dispersed, revealing five big characters - Wang Zijun's works.

I remember that last year, when they saw these five words, they were in a mocking mood, but now they are facing them in an extraordinary way.

Zhuo Botang, the editor of Impact magazine, is one of more than 20 film critics invited tonight.

From the fragmented information and trailers in the propaganda, Zhuo Botang can only guess the type of movie, but he can't know its content. Anyway, in his opinion, Wang Zijun is more suitable for making commercial films on the Hollywood side to attract attention and box office. But Wang Zijun suddenly played with art this time, and I don't know what the art film he made looks like.

At the beginning of the film, the words of the 42nd year of the Republic of China were typed on the screen, the dumb uncle and his wife flirted in the room, and the husband and wife were in love.

When Sun Yueyan's dumb uncle was driven out of the door by his wife with a smile and wiped the tricycle to collect wine bottles, he passed through the military village all the way. Children fighting, women sitting in front of the pond doing laundry, dilapidated buildings, all kinds of languages...... These pictures and sounds suddenly pulled the moviegoers into the depths of their memories.

The older generation of stars and successful people, eight out of ten have cooked in military villages, and later Lin Qingxia, Teresa Teng, etc., which one didn't grow up in military villages?

A few shots and a few homely words suddenly attracted the attention of most of the people here, causing them to have different thoughts.

Zhuo Botang didn't look at it for a minute, and then he became a little excited. This "If the Wine Sells Nothing" is completely different from "Bloody Lonely City", as a film critic, he prefers this one.

In the original work, due to the rush of the script and shooting, there were many flaws, such as insufficient portrayal of the scene of the dumb uncle's tatters, too much narration, and so on. When Wang Zijun created this movie, he almost did it all over again, from the script to the storyboard script, and then to the hand-drawn storyboard script, the script alone was written for a few months and revised several times.

The first is to cut off all the narration of the heroine in the original work, and show it with movie shots and close-ups of the actors, which is completely doable, and the effect is better.

When the dumb uncle blew the horn of "If the Wine Sells Nothing", a person with a smile appeared and picked up the wine bottle in the cold wind and cold night. Many people recall 20 years ago, what a distant memory, 20 years have passed in a flash.

Until the dumb uncle picked up the little girl Ami and used the money to buy milk powder, and finally the wife said goodbye without saying goodbye, people gradually came out of their memories and began to pay attention to the development of the plot of the movie.

Ami is a happy girl, her parents didn't want him when she was born, but her dumb uncle, neighbors, and friends all spoiled her as a baby, and the little girl played by Wang Zuxian was also loved by everyone.

"Dad, Mom, Brother, look, that's me!" Wang Zuxian's whole family came to the premiere, although the little girl didn't like it when it was filmed, but when the movie was released, she screamed happily.

Seeing the scene of the dumb uncle and the neighbor killing the dog, the scene laughed warmly. When I first came to Taiwan for a few years, many people were very greedy, and they did a lot of things like stealing chickens and touching dogs.

If Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Good Morning Taipei" is close to the real life of the city, then this "If the Wine Sells Nothing" is screened here, which is to evoke people's memories. Older people, their memories of their youth, and the memories of young people's childhood.

However, when they saw that Amin's father and uncle both died, and Amin's mother cried bitterly, many people felt heavy. There was no way, the actors acted too into the play and brought the audience in.

When Ami grew up, the two childhood sweethearts also grew up (played by Qin Xianglin and Ke Shouliang), and they also secretly competed, but in the end they were snatched up by a young composer who suddenly killed.

This composer is naturally played by Wang Zijun, and when people thought that this was some kind of love triangle movie, they found that they all guessed wrong.

Triangle and four-corner love are the most common in Qiong Yao's plays, so Qiong Yao really watched it directly as a love scene when she saw half of it.

Lin Qingxia and Wang Zijun starred in "Caiyunfei" the year before last, which left a fresh impression, but the quality of the two dramas they starred in later was not very good, and they were gradually forgotten. On the contrary, "Outside the Window" was released in Hong Kong, which made many Hong Kong people familiar with her.

With the help of the composer played by Wang Zijun, Ami played by Lin Qingxia has become famous, her singing skills have also improved rapidly, and the relationship between the two has stabilized.

At this time, the agent appeared, he signed Ami, packaged Ami as a rich daughter, and her father did business in the United States. Let Ami meet her father and boyfriend less, and Ami is gradually lost in her new life.

At this time, the audience has a kind of anxiety and hidden worries in their hearts, but it is precisely because of the previous memories of the old times that they are too deep into the play, and they have a hunch that the ending may not be very good.

Sure enough, because of the demolition of the military village to raise money, Ami decided to go to Southeast Asia to hold a concert and asked the agent to leave 200,000 yuan for her father. She didn't know that her favorite heartfelt and lovely blessing was dead, and her father, boyfriend, and friends didn't want money, they just wanted her to come back and see more.

Until Amin died unexpectedly in a dispute with a political axe civil servant, and Amin's mother lost her last loved one, that tragic scene made the eyes of many moviegoers moist.

In the end, the dumb uncle also died, and Ami didn't see her father for the last time, all she saw was a cold corpse.

Ami was full of remorse, and at her concert, she sang songs written by her boyfriend - "The Same Moonlight" and "If the Wine Sells Nothing".

"If the wine is sold, there is no familiar voice, how many years with me the wind and rain never need to remember, never forget that there is no heaven and earth, no land, where there is no home, where there is no home, there is no you, if there is no me, if you have not raised me, give me a warm life, if you have not protected me, what will be my destiny is that you raised me, accompany me to say that the first sentence is that you give me a home, let me have it with you, although you can't say a word, but you can better understand the black and white and true and false ...... of the world"

The pictures of these concerts were all filmed at Wang Zijun's solo concert.

As this song sounds, those lyrics cooperate with the plot of the film, constantly interspersed with warm memories, which is simply invincible tear gas. Women like Qiong Yao, Lin Fengjiao, and Zhao Yazhi have long been crying, and even Lin Qingxia, who participated in the performance, watched it again at this time, and her eyes were moist.

Not only for the characters in the movie, but the lyrics of the song also reminded them of their own parents. Especially these successful people in their forties and fifties, although they did not grow up in military villages, many of them have stayed in military villages. The military village evokes memories of their youth, and the lyrics remind them of their elderly or buried parents, and of their loving concern for them when they were young.

"It's time to go to the grave of the old mother." An old man wiped his eyes and said to himself.

Zhao Yazhi sobbed and said to Wang Zijun: "Boss, I want to take a leave of absence and go back to Hong Kong to see my parents." ”

Wang Zuxian's father touched his daughter's head and said, "This movie is well made. ”

When "The Same Moonlight" was sung, many people were thinking in their hearts, did they really care too much about money and fame, but forgot about their parents?

Perhaps, after watching the movie, these people should do something or do something, but at this moment, they all moistened their eyes with feeling.

The images that had long since disappeared from the screen, but people sat in silence for several seconds before bursting into applause.

Wang Zijun's little sister Xiao Lizhu walked up to the stage in the sound of music and sang "If the Wine Sells Dry" again, the atmosphere of the scene was catalyzed to the extreme, and finally some men began to roll down with tears in their eyes.

After singing, Xiao Lizhu crossed her hands in front of her chest and said softly: "Let's pray silently for all parents in the world for three minutes." ”

Coincidentally, everyone in the audience put their hands on their chests and crossed them, not even the projectionists, and only breathing and faint sobs could be heard at the scene.

Three minutes passed, the lights turned on, and in the makeshift movie theater, there was another thunderous applause.

As the director of the Cultural Bureau, Wang Hongjun can still control his emotions, he didn't shed tears, but he cried a little when he spoke, patted Wang Zijun on the shoulder and said: "Young man, make more movies like this." This is a film that promotes traditional Chinese filial piety, which is much better than those martial arts films that are born and die in love and fight to death, and the Cultural Affairs Bureau will vigorously disseminate and encourage it. ”

"Thank you, Director Wang." Wang Zijun said. His eyes were also a little red, and he remembered his parents who had died in a car accident in junior high school in his previous life. Because of the past many years, he can't remember the appearance of his biological parents, but he clearly remembers what color and style of clothes they wore on the day of the accident.

Wang Zijun kept shaking hands with the guests, and after the lights were turned on, these people who already had some social status were a little embarrassed, for fear that they would be seen shedding tears.

Qiong Yao scolded: "You are really a bad guy, do you have such a filming?" My eyes were red from crying. ”

Wang Zijun joked: "Sister Chen, your play can make those young boys and girls cry I don't know how many times, I am here to avenge them and let you taste crying." ”

"Looking for a fight." Qiong Yao punched him in the shoulder and asked, "By the way, who was the last little girl to sing on stage just now?" ”

"Xiao Lizhu, a disciple of Teacher Zhou Lanping." Wang Zijun said.

"It turned out to be your little sister." Qiong Yao said, "How about inviting her to sing the theme song of my next play?" ”

"Okay, I can't ask for it." Wang Zijun said with a smile, "Singing for Sister Chen's movie is something that many singers dream of." ”

"Just compliment me." Qiong Yao said, "In a few days, this little girl will be red and purple." ”

Qiong Yao chatted a few words, and then went to Xiao Lizhu, it seemed that she was talking about singing. Zhuo Botang walked over, shook hands with Wang Zijun and said, "Director Wang, you have succeeded, this is the first movie that made me cry after I was twenty years old." ”

Wang Zijun smiled and asked, "Then should I say thank you or sorry." ”

"Hahaha." Zhuo Botang laughed.

(To be continued)
