122 [Meet Lijun Again]

"Boss, what's our next film?" Bai Muyang asked with great ambition, this is completely different from when Wang Zijun first arrived at the company, his discouragement and frustration.

Wang Zijun said: "I'll give you a script when I go back, let's shoot it slowly." The company does not have many people now, and the most important thing is to recruit two good directors to come in, otherwise it is impossible for the whole company to be supported by one director. ”

How can a good director be so easy to find? How can a really good director join Wang's second-rate film company.

Bai Muyang put down this problem and asked curiously, "Boss, what are you going to shoot in your next script?" Or a war movie? ”

Now there is a trend of war movies on the island, and several companies are already preparing war scenes.

Wang Zijun shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but it definitely won't be a war drama." ”

This year is a year of blowout development of Taiwanese films, although there are not many high-quality movies, but a number of them can be sold for money. According to the statistics in the data, in 1972, the total number of overseas sales of Taiwanese films exceeded 150, and as many as 53 regions were exported, with a total income of more than 400 million yuan, breaking the export sales record over the years.

You must know that a few years ago, Taiwan's local cinemas still relied on foreign films to be released!

Although there is "Bloody Lonely City" now, it does not have much impact on other films, because there are really no good movies in June. Many companies wait until after the summer vacation in July before they start to release their own products. Although there is no such thing as summer file at this time, people's thoughts are similar.

This year, Li Hanxiang returned to his old club Shaw Brothers to shoot deception and Fengyue films, while Golden Harvest brought Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen" to kill all sides, these two are the real opponents of Wang's Film Company.

In the next year, it will be the world of war movies, deception movies and martial arts action movies, Wang Zijun doesn't want to go to any troubled waters, it's not interesting to follow the trend.

"Lao Bai, help me make an appointment with Zheng Yuan, the reporter who came to our premiere that day." After thinking about it, Wang Zijun said.

"Ask him?" Bai Muyang didn't understand what Wang Zijun meant, but he still went to call.

Now that "Bloody Lonely City" is still being screened, Wang Zijun is not in a hurry to plan the next film, but puts his experience on the creation of a fashion entertainment magazine.

To make an entertainment magazine, you can't just recruit a few liberal arts students and edit a few articles, you must be familiar with the current entertainment fashion.

Wang Zijun is really not very familiar with the current media, and he first thinks of Zheng Yuan of the China Times, the reporter who first planted the flag on the Diaoyu Islands in a boat. With his current status, he must know some people.

…… Among the cabarets of the Regal Hotel.

Zheng Yuanzheng sipped coffee while tapping the table to the beat.

Wang Zijun hurriedly walked over and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, Reporter Zheng, I've kept you waiting." ”

"It's okay, it's just that I'm used to arriving early." Zheng Yuan shook hands with him and said.

The man in front of him was almost fifty years old, and he was polite, and it was hard to imagine that he had the courage to drive the boat to Diaoyu Island. However, for this kind of person, Wang Zijun still has respect.

Zheng Yuan also had a very good impression of Wang Zijun, and after Wang Zijun was shot in a parade, the first praise article in the "China Times" was personally stabbed by him.

At the premiere that day, Zheng Yuan was also invited, and he was quite shocked after watching the movie. At this time, he sat face to face with Wang Zijun, and couldn't help but praise: "Boss Wang is really a genius, and he can recreate that battle in front of the world, which is the only thing I have ever seen in my life." ”

"Reporter Zheng praised it falsely, just call me Zijun." Wang Zijun said modestly.

"Then I'll take care of it and call you brother." Zheng Yuan asked, "Zheng, I am a straight person, is there anything wrong with Brother Wang coming to me today?" ”

"That's right." Wang Zijun asked: "Reporter Zhengda must have heard of the pictorial "Good Friends". ”

"I know," Zheng Yuan said with a smile, "This pictorial is a year older than me." ”

Liangyou Pictorial was founded in 1926 and printed using the most advanced photoengraving technology at that time, and the first issue featured the movie star Hu Die as the cover. The first printing of 3,000 copies was sold out in two or three days, and then it was reprinted in succession, and 7,000 copies were sold directly, which was a very terrifying statistic at the time.

In the following 20 years, a total of 172 issues of "Liangyou" were published, covering the development and changes of modern Chinese society, the turbulence of the world situation, the influential figures from all walks of life in politics, science and business, social style, culture and art, drama and film, historical sites and scenic spots, etc., which can be called an encyclopedic pictorial.

From scholars and experts, to village couples and children, there are "good friends" wherever overseas Chinese live, which has won the reputation of "good friends all over the world". Major libraries around the world are also vying to collect "Liangyou" as a window to understand China. It's a wonder that a fashion magazine can do this.

Wang Zijun said: "I want to run a magazine similar to "Good Friends", but now I lack manpower, and I am not familiar with the media industry, I wonder if the reporter of Zhengda can recommend one or two candidates? ”

"You want to do this?" Zheng Yuan was taken aback, there are some forbidden areas here. But thinking about Wang Zijun's intimate behavior with Jiang Jingguo that day, Zheng Yuan put down the surprise in his heart, thought about it and said, "I remember a senior, he used to be a reporter in "Liangyou". ”

"Oh, that's just right." Wang Zijun said happily, "Ask him out for a meal another day." ”

"Absolutely." Zheng Yuan said.

After the two agreed, they began to chat, and the most was Wang Zijun's movie. When mentioning Wang's Cinema, Zheng Yuan said with interest: "Is it in Linkou?" I'm going to check it out next time. ”

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "It's no problem for Zheng Da reporters to live for a few months. ”

"It's okay to stay for a few months, haha, I'm in good health, and it's not time for the idle old Lin Quan." Zheng Yuan said with a smile.

"Sweet honey, you smile sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze......"

Wang Zijun and Zheng Yuanzheng were chatting, and suddenly heard a familiar singing voice on the stage of the song hall. Looking back, who is not Teresa Teng singing above?

It is said that since Teresa Teng participated in the tour last year, she has hardly stopped singing in song halls or nightclubs. The Regal Hotel is really wealthy, and it will cost her at least 20,000 Taiwan dollars to sing a song. After singing the whole show, there are no two or three hundred thousand, don't mention it at all.

Wang Zijun snapped his fingers at the waiter, took out a banknote and asked him to send a rose.

The waiter came to the stage with a flower and pointed at Wang Zijun, because it was not far away, Teresa Teng could vaguely see Wang Zijun's appearance under the dim light.

Teresa Teng smiled and beckoned to Wang Zijun, obviously recognizing him.

Yuan Yuan Zheng smiled informably: "Brother Wang is really pitiful and cherishes jade." ”

Although Wang Zijun has brought a strong impact on the music world, rock and modern folk songs are gradually accepted by more and more young people, Teresa Teng still has a group of her loyal fans.

Teresa Teng sang a total of two songs before leaving the stage. However, to the surprise of the audience, Teresa Teng walked straight to the table of the flower giver just now, which made some guests who wanted to kiss each other cry out for pity.

Teresa Teng asked for a cup of coffee and sat down at the same table with Wang Zijun.

Wang Zijun introduced: "This is Zheng Yuanda, a reporter from the China Times, and he is a big hero who rushed to the Diaoyu Islands. ”

"Hello Reporter Zheng." Teresa Teng got up and shook hands with him and said, the big reporter of "China Times" is the same as the big reporter of "People's Daily" on the other side of the sea, for celebrities, they are very bullish.

Zheng Yuan should belong to the complex surname of the stuffy and hot-blooded type, and his mind can drive a boat to the Diaoyu Islands with a hot mind, and he was still joking with Wang Zijun about Teresa Teng just now, but now that the real person appeared in front of him, he was actually a little restrained when shaking hands.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "Lijun, you are an international superstar now, and the last time you were invited to the premiere, you attended the inauguration ceremony of the Qingli Friends Club (fan club) in Hong Kong. ”

Teresa Teng smiled sweetly and said: "In front of you, I don't dare to be a superstar, you still wrote this song "Sweet Honey" for me." ”

Wang Zijun asked, "Are you okay in Lifeng?" ”

Teresa Teng just signed a contract with Lifeng Records in the first half of the year.

"Not bad." Teresa Teng's tone was a little bitter, she was still singing old-fashioned love songs and folk songs at this time, and some classic songs of later generations were still not written at this time. Judging from the two records just released, it is a little out of step with the trend, such as the album just released, if it weren't for the "Sweet Honey" written by Wang Zijun last year, I'm afraid the results would have been even worse.

After Teresa Teng saw Wang Zijun, she was a little excited, and she wanted to ask for a song but she couldn't speak.

Wang Zijun saw her thoughts a little, so he took the initiative to say: "I have a few songs here, which are very suitable for you to sing." ”

"Really?" Teresa Teng's mind was not serious, and she screamed out with joy.

"But the specific price has to be negotiated with Lifeng Company." Wang Zijun said.

Teresa Teng nodded and said: "Of course, "Sweet Honey" was given by you for free, and I am a little ashamed to sing it." ”

Wang Zijun suddenly said to Zheng Yuan: "Reporter Zheng, what do you think about letting Lijun be the cover character of the first issue of the magazine?" ”

Zheng Yuan clapped his hands and said: "Yes, Miss Deng toured for half a year last year and sang all over Southeast Asia, and I heard that several royal families are recruiting her." ”

Teresa Teng was confused and asked, "What magazine?" ”

Wang Zijun explained to her with a smile, and Teresa Teng agreed on the spot. Being a cover girl is also good for her, when Hu Die was the cover girl for the "Good Friend" pictorial, she was just a newcomer who had just debuted, and her fame soared after she was on the cover.

The three of them chatted for a while, and as people kept coming up to ask for autographs, they got up and left.

Out of the hotel, Wang Zijun stopped a driveway: "Where does Lijun live?" I'll send you. ”

"Okay." Teresa Teng smiled sweetly.
