Li Xuan's movie tickets were all bought for the night show at nine o'clock in the evening, and the time was very good, so as not to delay Sister Fen and Father Zhong's business during the day. You must know that today is Sunday, and Hong Kong is still implementing the single rest system, and the income of a Sunday is usually several days.

The location is also good, in the middle of the back row, just to see clearly and not tired. Sitting in the middle of a group of relatives and friends, Li Xuan didn't dare to pull Zhong Chuhong's little hand now, her mother sat behind the two. Li Xuan was sitting on a chair waiting for the movie to start, the fingers of both hands bouncing back and forth on the armrests.

"Why are you so nervous? I didn't see you trembling with nervousness last time at midnight, huh? Zhong Chuhong next to him asked curiously.

"I'm not nervous!" Li Xuan's fingers continued to bounce on the armrest, and he turned his head to look around by the way. Yes, the theater attendance rate is about 70%, and it's good to have so many people at the night show on weekends. The movie will definitely be fine if it goes down to more than two million according to this momentum, and the cost is saved, but I don't know how many people there are in the few shows during the day today.

Zhong Chuhong frowned and asked, "Aren't you nervous?" ”

"It's a conditioned reflex...... Li Xuan replied casually: "I bought a piano and played it for a whole day." ”

"Piano?" Zhong Chuhong said in surprise: "When did you buy the piano, why don't I know?" ”

"Yesterday, I passed by the piano store after delivering the ticket to your family yesterday."

"Are you really planning to learn piano in the future?" Zhong Chuhong asked in surprise, she knew that Li Xuan had been learning music from others.

"It's not! I'm just learning to compose. Li Xuan gritted his back molars and said.

Li Xuan really felt that his eggs hurt, why did he have to ask Jin Yong to introduce the music teacher, and now he was embarrassed to quit his studies. Originally, it was depressing enough to follow the solfeggio training that had been studied for several months, but recently Xu Qiqin thought that Li Xuan's progress was slow, and it was too inkblot to come to his house every day to learn to play the piano for half an hour, so he directly asked him to buy a piano first and go home and try to play it every day. Li Xuan also asked with a calm face if he could buy a guitar, this is a handsome standard equipment, Xu Qiqin directly threw a sentence and beat Li Xuan back: "You go and ask which school teaches composition that doesn't start with the piano?" ”

"Go, what kind of music have you made after studying for so long?" Zhong Chuhong said with disdain.

"I did!" Li Xuan's eyes widened, he could practice at home for a day today, although he still played a mess!

"Really?" The little girl asked curiously, "What's your name?" ”

"Fairy tale!" Li Xuan said triumphantly.

To be honest, as soon as Li Xuan sits in front of the piano, he will think of Guangliang playing the piano in a black suit in the MV of "Fairy Tale", which is simply handsome! And this song was popular all over the country back then, and Li Xuan has never forgotten the lyrics and tunes, and now he can finally play a rough melody after a day of groping alone, but it still sounds very rough. Li Xuan touched his chin, do you want to ask Xu Qiqin to help with the overhaul. And this song is a little bad, this is a Chinese song, Li Xuan will not change the words, he still doesn't even understand what Cantonese eight tones (also say nine tones), this is the basis for writing Cantonese songs.

At this time, Zhong Chuhong was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Fairy tale?" Are you telling the truth? ”。

Li Xuan raised his head: "That's it, I'll play it to you after a few days of minor repairs." "This song can't be modified for Xu Yuqin, and the song dedicated to girls is at least made up by himself. As for how many days it will be, Li Xuan is not sure, it will be a day if it can be delayed.

"Brother-in-law, I want to listen too!" Second Sister Zhong in the front seat suddenly turned her head and said.

"Go, children want to learn, listen to what!" Zhong Chuhong hurriedly pressed the little girl's head back.

"Nasty!"

Just when Li Xuan and the others were playing in the back, Chen Baisheng, who was sitting in the first row, took out a small notebook and pen and planned to make a record when watching the movie.

Chan Pak Sing is a junior civil servant at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, of course, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he now has a part-time job, which is the editor of the two-month-old magazine Film Fortnightly. More than a week ago, Shu Qi, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, told him that there was a horror movie that he could watch, but he didn't have the time at that time. At that time, in addition to the mainland and Viet Lan, even Iran was not at peace, and a coup d'état broke out. As a result, the international price of crude oil soared more than threefold, from a little over $10 to a maximum of $39. This is a major inflection point in the history of oil prices, which were only $1.8 a decade ago.

The international financial industry is in turmoil, and Hong Kong, Asia's financial center, is not feeling well. Even he, a little minion of the Trade Development Bureau, was busy working overtime, but when he was free, he found that the movie was about to be released, so he rushed over.

If you want to talk about "Film Fortnightly", you have to mention its predecessor "Big Close-up".

In 1975, Tang Shuxuan, a pioneer of Hong Kong academic directors, founded "Big Close-up". The entire weekly is printed on ordinary paper, not with celebrity nude photos as the cover, but with text content as the leading, so that Hong Kong film magazines are no longer just pictorials to read, but books that can be read.

Tang Shuxuan is the granddaughter of Tang Jiyao, a famous warlord of the Republic of China, who settled in Hong Kong in her early years, and was later admitted to the film department of the University of Southern California. After graduating, he returned to Hong Kong in 1969 to shoot the film Madame Tung, the first Hong Kong film to receive wide attention at a European film festival and won several Golden Horse Awards. She is also a pioneer of academic directors in the Hong Kong film industry, and directly influenced the later Xu Anhua, Xu Ke, Tan Jiaming and others.

However, "Big Close-up" does not have a standardized management system, and its editorial office is open, and readers and authors can visit it at any time. Moreover, the authors of the articles are basically paid zero manuscripts, and even most of the editors are voluntary part-time and have formal jobs, and the manuscript review is not very stable, so "Big Close-up" has been repeatedly losing money in terms of operation. In addition, Tang Shuxuan was preparing to get married and leave Hong Kong at that time, and the magazine finally ceased publication in the first half of 1978.

After the suspension of "Big Close-up", many young film lovers regretted it. Under the advocacy of the current editor-in-chief Shu Qi, a group of editors and writers of "Big Close-up" jointly founded "Film Fortnightly".

It's a pity that "Film Fortnightly" still follows the same management model as "Big Close-up", except for a small office in Wan Chai, most of the editors are part-time. Just like Chen Baisheng, who continues to be his civil servant, even Mr. Shu Qi, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, is now a screenwriter and assistant director of Golden Harvest.

As a result, the current "Film Fortnightly" is not as good as "Ming Pao Weekly" in the high-end, and it is not as good as "Golden Harvest Movie" in entertainment. The magazine's positioning is unclear, its operation is chaotic, its characteristics are unclear, and its sales are extremely poor, so it can only circulate among a small number of readers.

Thinking of the hundreds of copies of "Film Fortnightly" that were returned in the office, Chen Baisheng smiled bitterly. Suddenly, it went dark in the movie theater, and the movie was about to begin.

The scene that appeared at the beginning of the movie made Chen Baisheng stunned for a moment, and as the movie progressed, the feelings after watching were recorded by the pen in Chen Baisheng's hand.

"The use of real scenes, the style of documentary ......"

"The sound is clear and realistic."

"The soundtrack is low and gives a sense of oppression......"

"There is always an inexplicable depression in the dimly lit room."

"The shots are very stable, and there are few transpositions, so it's a mutation of weird movies?"

"Clever segmented ......"

"There's very little plot, it's a horror movie for horror's sake."

"The whole work seems to be suppressed with a suffocating resentment, have the screenwriter and director been subjected to domestic violence?"

(Note: I mixed in the starting point of the sticker, often heard the water god in the newcomer said: dragon k, newcomer do not go.) Yesterday, the Q group suddenly heard that someone from Long K commented on my book, and I was overjoyed. Then I thought: I am not a newcomer, I can go. Reading the book review, I am overjoyed. So I read the reply, but I burned it all inside. I looked up to the sky and sighed: Long K, you can't go unless you are a god. ）
