1978 was a relatively stable year, except for the oil crisis at the end of the year and the severance of diplomatic relations between Taiwan and the United States, basically no major events occurred in the blink of an eye into 1979.

Chinese mainland established diplomatic relations with the United States, and Deng Gong was invited to visit the United States, causing a huge sensation in the United States. Then Vietnam lost the Khmer Rouge, expelled overseas Chinese from the country, and the Sino-Vietnamese War broke out.

In the Middle East, Khomeini returned to Iran to lead the Islamic Revolution, Saddam Hussein became the president of Iraq, and after the two good friends consolidated their rule, the eight-year "Iran-Iraq War" will break out next year.

Britain's Thatcherf also came to power in this year, becoming the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom, with a strong hand, ending the decade-long recession in the United Kingdom.

The Lunar New Year is coming, and Wang Zijun is returning to Taiwan. Wan Qian was interviewed by Time magazine.

The article, titled "The Chinese Director and His Aesthetics of Violence," will be published in the "Movie" section of Time magazine in the 10th post-10 years.

The photo taken by Time magazine for Wang Zijun is very simple, just looking at the camera with his arms crossed to his chest, with a faint smile on his face. However, when it was finally released, there was an extra fast-flying bullet under the cover.

The Time reporter named McCarter didn't ask Wang Zijun any embarrassing questions, and the interview revolved around the movie from beginning to end.

But when leaving, McCarter smiled and said to Wang Zijun: "Wang, you are the first Huajin star to appear in Time magazine. ”

"I'm honored." Wang Zijun said with a smile, but what he pondered in his heart was the intention of Time Magazine.

Although "The Two Heroes" caused a huge sensation in the United States, the cover of "Time" magazine was not so easy to get on. Otherwise, Time magazine used to only use China's political facts as its cover, how could it suddenly break this tradition and put him as a star?

Wang Zijun asked seemingly casually, "Mr. McCarter, can you tell me why you made me a cover?" I'm a little flattered. ”

"Don't you know you're great? The box office of "The Face Snatcher" is still skyrocketing, compared to the original Bruce. Lee's "Enter the Dragon" is even more sensational. You've opened a whole new door for Hollywood's action movies, and you're a Chinese entrant. That's the key. Bruce. Li is different, although he is a Chinese member, he has American citizenship. McCarter laughed.

Wang Zijun said: "I'm afraid it's more than that, Lucas's "Star Wars" caused such a big sensation, and it didn't make it to the cover of "Time". ”

McCott beckoned his assistant to leave, he leaned into Wang Zijun's ear and whispered: "Wang, this issue of yours was released on January 29, and as for the cover of the February 5 issue, it is Deng of Red China." Contacted the recent United States, China Taiwan. Don't you think the relationship between the Bay and the mainland is very interesting? In fact, the cover of our issue is ready to be used on the table. Jiang in the north, but the plan has been put on hold due to some factors, and your film has just caused a sensation in the United States......"

"I'll rub!" Wang Zijun was powerless to complain.

In 1979, the first issue of Time magazine launched Deng Gong as the annual event, and the first issue of the second month included Deng Gong as the cover.

The most speechless thing is that he, Wang Zijun, was actually caught and stuck in the middle.

Does Time magazine want to express that the mainland is beginning to rise, and Taiwan. Bay is so bad that only he can show his hand as a director? This is a joke or a sarcasm.

As soon as he sent McCarter and others in, Wang Zijun received a call from Bai Muyang and asked him to rush back immediately.

It was not for Wang Zijun to go back for the New Year, but that the authorities heard that he was busy with movies in the United States, and it caused a sensation and gave him a task. …,

What task? Naturally, because the Republic of China and the United States have just severed diplomatic relations, Wang Zijun needs to cooperate with public opinion propaganda. Naturally, this propaganda cannot be directly related to the United States, but is aimed at the mainland on the other side of the strait.

To put it bluntly, it is to let Wang Zijun shoot a political propaganda film to cooperate with Chiang Ching-kuo's slogan of counterattacking the mainland.

When Wang Zijun heard this, he was directly stupid, how could he have the heart to make such a broken movie? has no artistic content at all, can't earn a few box office, is not only a waste of time, but also has to be criticized by the democratic scholars and Hong Kong's leftists, maybe it will offend **.

Wang Zijun frowned and was thinking about how to deal with it on the sofa, Lin Qingxia came over with Fei Yu in her arms, saw him like this, and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Wang Zijun said the content of the phone call he had just received.

Lin Qingxia didn't think there was anything wrong with the stage she starred in. There are several political propaganda films in the bay, and he said with a smile: "They let them shoot it, anyway, take some time to deal with it." ”

Wang Zijun couldn't tell Lin Qingxia that he cherished his feathers and didn't want to be ruined by this movie.

After thinking about it, he still can't push it off, he Wang Zijun joined the Kuomintang a few years ago, and he is still the same as Teresa Teng and many celebrities who have left the country, and he has the identity of a Kuomintang intelligence officer.

Over the years, Wang Zijun has enjoyed a lot of convenience from the authorities, and now is the time to pay it back.

There is no lunch to eat in vain!

Ming Yao is about to return to Taiwan. North, waiting for Lin Fengjiao and Lin Qingxia to pack their luggage, Wang Zijun made a decision. asked the screenwriting department of Wang's Film Company to write the script, and then changed it himself, and finally asked Liu Jiachang to shoot it, and he named himself a co-director and co-screenwriter, which can be regarded as a reluctant delivery. Let Liu Jiachang carry the black pot, anyway, he has made a lot of political propaganda films, and he doesn't care about this one.

After making up his mind, Wang Zijun was also a lot more relaxed, and he had a happy meal with the two women and children in the evening, which was regarded as putting this matter behind him for the time being.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!" While eating, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Lin Yi slid down from the bench and argued, "I'll open the door!" ”

Before Lin Yi could run over, Lin Bowen, who was eating in another room, had already opened the door.

Standing outside the door was actually Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen, husband and wife.

Seeing Lin Bowen who opened the door, Liu Jiachang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had gone to the wrong place, and asked, "Is this Wang Zijun's house?" ”

"Who are you? What's the deal with the boss? Lin Bowen didn't know Liu Jiachang, but he looked at Zhen Zhen twice, he seemed to have seen Zhen Zhen's poster on the street before.

When Liu Jiachang saw Lin Bowen's mixed-race appearance, he thought he was a Chinese-American descendant, and explained: "My name is Liu Jiachang, and I am a friend of Mr. Wang. ”

Lin Bowen turned around and shouted at Wang Zijun: "Boss, there is a gentleman named Liu Jiachang looking for you." ”

"Liu Jiachang? What did he come to do. Wang Zijun didn't expect that he was just about to let Liu Jiachang top the cylinder for him, and this guy ran away and didn't come over.

"Liu Jiachang!"

"O!"

Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao exclaimed in unison, the two of them had dinner with Wang Zijun together, and they also had two children, as long as Liu Jiachang was not a fool, they could see their relationship with Wang Zijun at a glance.

If the two women serve a husband together, if it spreads, they will not have the face to return to Taiwan in the future. b. As soon as Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao heard that Liu Jiachang was coming, their first reaction was to hide first.

"It's fine." Wang Zijun comforted. For Liu Jiachang's entry, Wang Zijun still trusts it, although this guy loves to pretend to be B, a bit of a bully, compared to his own low status into the mouth full of swearing, but the mouth is still relatively strict.

Wang Zijun gestured to Lin Bowen and asked him to let the guest in. He stood up to greet him, and after seeing Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen, he smiled and said, "Old Liu, Miss Zhang, why are you two interested in coming to the United States to play?" ”…,

Liu Jiachang helped his glasses and said with a wry smile: "Ah Zhen and I fled here, don't make fun of me." ”

"Mr. Liu, Miss Zhen Zhen, please take a seat!" Lin Qingxia also got up to say hello, while Lin Fengjiao went to cut the fruit platter.

When Lin Fengjiao appeared with the fruit, Zhen Zhen was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, what a coincidence, Fengjiao is also there." ”

Liu Jiachang's glasses stayed on Lin Fengjiao and Lin Qingxia's two daughters for a while, then looked at Lin Yi and Wang Feiyu, reached out and quietly ripped off his wife's clothes.

Zhen Zhen's mind hadn't turned around yet, thinking that Lin Fengjiao was also a guest here. Xiao Feiyu walked over crookedly, looking at the visitor curiously, Zhen Zhen picked her up lovingly: "Mr. Wang, is this Ling Qianjin?" It's so cute, like a little princess. ”

Lin Qingxia taught: "Xiaoyu, call uncle and aunt quickly." ”

Xiao Feiyu looked at her mother blankly, struggled out of Zhen Zhen's hands, and ran behind Lin Yi's brother in a few steps to hide.

"What is this?" Zhen Zhen pointed at Lin Yi and asked.

"My son." Wang Zijun said.

Zhen Zhen looked at Lin Yi in surprise, she had never heard that Wang Zijun had such a big son. Seeing that Lin Yi and Lin Fengjiao were close, and Lin Fengjiao just greeted them to eat fruit like a heroine, she immediately understood.

Zhen Zhen looked at Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao in surprise, she really couldn't imagine that the well-known "Shuanglin" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, I don't know how many sons and brothers want to chase after her, Wang Zijun actually quietly took the two women into the room.

Platform. There are many wealthy businessmen in Bay and Hong Kong who marry their aunts, but Wang Zijun is married to Taiwan. The two most dazzling women in the b.

Wang Zijun didn't realize why Liu Jiachang came to the United States, so he turned to the topic and said: "Old Liu, what did you mean by fleeing just now? ”

"Something happened, I'm now a stage. I'm afraid that the street rats who are shouting and beating in the bay will stay in the United States for a few years. Liu Jiachang said with some dejection, he is now in Taiwan. The film industry, only in terms of commercial value, is the number one director except Wang Zijun. Even if Li Xingde will have more than Liu Jiachang, the box office is not as good as Liu Jiachang. In Taiwan. Bay music scene, he is also a godfather-level into the world, and now Taiwan. Many of the popular singers in the bay are singing the songs he wrote.

At this time when he was dying, he had to leave the stage. If you go to the United States, you can see how unwilling Liu Jiachang is.

When Wang Zijun heard this, he suddenly remembered that Liu Jiachang left the United States. However, all he knew was hearsay later, and he couldn't do it accurately, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Jiachang did not hide it, and told everything about it.

It turned out that Liu Jiachang directed a political propaganda film the year before last, called "The Soul of the Whampoa Army", which was jointly produced by the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of China and China Film Company. Jiang Jingguo's second son, Jiang Xiaowu, also participated in it, and as a result, he fell in love with the prospective girlfriend of the film's actor Gu Minglun.

Then, last month, on the eve of the release of "The Soul of the Whampoa Army", Gu Minglun suddenly and mysteriously committed suicide.

Gu Minglun is Taiwan. Wan is a popular student, no less famous than Qin Han and Qin Xianglin, and as soon as the news of his suicide came out, it immediately caused a sensation. At that time, the Republic of China had not yet severed diplomatic relations with the United States, and the media was willing to pay attention to celebrities, but they did not dare to pour dirty water on the second prince Jiang, so Liu Jiachang carried the black pot.

Probably means that Gu Minglun offended Liu Jiachang, and Liu Jiachang tried his best to suppress Gu Minglun, and even the main actors who participated in the performance of "Whampoa Army Soul" won awards from the Ministry of National Defense, but Gu Minglun missed it, saying that Liu Jiachang signaled to remove Gu Minglun from the list of winners.

As a result, Liu Jiachang became the villain of the media who forced the popular Xiaosheng Gu Minglun to death. It's just that he can't defend himself, otherwise if the second prince Jiang is involved, he may not even be able to save his life. …,

Liu Jiachang, who couldn't stand the verbal criticism, spent more than half a month going through the formalities and came to the United States with his wife Zhen Zhen in a gloomy manner.

Speaking of this, Liu Jiachang shouted: "These media don't use their brains either, if I really don't like watching Gu Minglun, will I let him star in my new film?" And that award was given by the Ministry of Defense, how can I influence the will of the Ministry of Defense? ”

"You mean, Second Prince Jiang?" Wang Zijun asked.

Liu Jiachang just laughed and didn't speak.

The facts are there, the main actors of "The Soul of the Whampoa Army" won all the awards except Gu Minglun, which is strange in itself. And it just so happened that Gu Minglun and the second prince Jiang snatched the daughter before, and then committed suicide bizarrely.

As long as it's not a pig's brain, anyone can guess who is thousand.

"And what are your plans?" Wang Zijun asked.

"Find a house to settle down first, we're still staying in a hotel, this time I'm here to see you." Liu Jiachang said.

Wang Zijun was amused in his heart, what does it mean to take a look by the way, Liu Jiachang found out his heart to find out where he lived, but it was not just as simple as by the way.

I'm afraid I came to the door to ask for my own help.

Wang Zijun said: "I will return to Taiwan tomorrow. If you don't find a house, you can live here first and look for it slowly. ”

"I'm sorry about that." Zhen Zhen said.

"It's nothing, we're going to leave anyway, and it's empty and empty." Wang Zijun said.

Liu Jiachang said: "Zijun, I heard that you and Bruce Lee opened a film company here, and you are doing well." ”

Wang Zijun smiled, daring to love Liu Jiachang is singing this o.

This old Liu is in Taiwan. The Bay film industry has been mixed smoothly and is now being kicked out of the stage. b, actually want to continue mixing in Hollywood.

Wang Zijun is not optimistic about him at all, his set of movie concepts moved to Hollywood, and he will definitely hit the street so that his mother doesn't know him.

"It's a call from Frank, the manager of the company." Wang Zijun didn't want to refuse directly, wrote a phone number to Liu Jiachang, and continued, "The United States has American rules, although I am the majority shareholder of the company, I can't be involved in the management of the company. Take my last movie "The Shawshank Redemption" as an example, the company was not optimistic about the script at that time, and I had to follow the rules and had to invest part of it out of my own pocket. So, I can only introduce you to Frank, and as for whether you want to be an independent director or want to work in a company, it's up to you. Saying that, Wang Zijun complimented again, "Of course, these are nothing to us white spoon Liu Dacai." ”

Liu Jiachang didn't know how deep the water was in Hollywood, and Wang Zijun's compliments also made him not care about Wang Zijun's previous business, but felt that he had outstanding abilities and Wang Zijun's relationship, so there should be no problem mixing in D&T Film Company.

"There are rules everywhere, and of course you have to follow the rules." Liu Jiachang said with a smile.

Wang Zijun thought to himself, then you should go and toss when you are old, I am afraid that you don't know what to do if you don't hit your head and break the bloodstream.

After chatting until late, Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen returned to the guest room.

As soon as Zhen Zhen entered the room, she couldn't help but gossip: "Wang Zijun is so powerful, he actually cleaned up Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao obediently." ”

"It's oah, good means." Liu Jiachang said with some envy.

Zhen Zhen heard the smell, and her eyes widened: "What, you look hot?" ”

"No, how dare I!" Liu Jiachang was so angry by Zhen Zhen**'s glare. Married to Zhen Zhen, it was happy and painful, and happily married the Tai of the year. The first beauty in the bay, and she was snatched from Xie Xian's hands to become a wife, the painful thing is that Liu Jiachang, who saw a woman at the beginning, can only be addicted when he meets a beautiful woman now.

After flirting and scolding a few words, Zhen Zhencai said: "Jiachang, I see that Wang Zijun seems to be dissatisfied with your entry into his film company." ”

Liu Jiachang said: "He also has difficulties, he paid for the filming of "The Shawshank Redemption", I have also heard of it, it should not be fake, the rules here are different. It's like a table. The chairman of the board of directors has the final say on everything, but whether it is Japan or the United States, the chairman must listen to the opinions of shareholders, and cannot force a thousand opinions when there is a disagreement. ”

Zhen Zhen still feels bottomless, she and Liu Jiachang are in the United States, they are not familiar with the place, and they usually don't even know where to go shopping.

Liu Jiachang is hot, he has been in the United States for several years, and the box office success of "Winning the Face" makes him feel that he is in Taiwan. b. The grades are like that of a child. With his ability as a talented man, even if he can't win an Oscar, it's not difficult to make a movie and eat a meal.

Liu Jiachang is here YY and his own future is not mentioned, but Wang Zijun was shocked by Liu Jiachang's appearance. At the beginning, he had chatted with Gu Minglun a few times, and he had a good impression of him, but now a living young life is gone.

Wang Zijun also thought of Teresa Teng's fake passport incident, so he picked up the phone and broadcast several numbers in a row, but he couldn't contact Teresa Teng, only knowing that Teresa Teng seems to be singing in Southeast Asia now.
