Shen Chong hummed, but leaned back on the sofa and didn't move, still staring at the picture on the TV, in the TV, Leslie Cheung with a beard stood on the wall and smoked, the light shone obliquely from above, and the smoke swirled in front of him, hazy and elegant, decadent and vicissitudes.

“……

Once upon a time, like an unruly wind, it did not like to take root

I said I was most afraid of vows

If you are obsessed with me

You will be sad

I'll always be a temporary lover

……”

This "Unruly Wind" is one of the ten songs that Shen Chong plagiarized to Leslie Cheung in Los Angeles, and was later selected as the promotional song for the Cantonese version of "Love at Dawn".

Zhang Ai saw that he didn't move, so he unbuttoned his apron, walked over and sat on the armrest of the sofa, watched TV with him, and asked, "How was the shooting?" ”

The MV combines music and cinematic images, creating a new pop culture, an epoch-making product, but in 1980, it was still a new thing, no one knew how to make films, people who knew music couldn't make movies, those who could make movies didn't understand music, and those who knew both movies and music were almost all big directors, and they were not interested in making MVs with little budget at all - just like in the 21st century, there are few big directors who are willing to make online micro-movies.

Before Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album appeared, all MVs in the world were similar, singers either sang while dancing, or sang while posing, this "Unruly Wind" belongs to the type of posing and singing, Leslie Cheung posed in different environments, there was no creativity, and there was no story, but it is commendable that the shooting is very exquisite, the director is very level, the picture and atmosphere are very beautiful, and the whole MV is like a dynamic photo album, pleasing to the eye, Leslie Cheung's personal charm is vividly displayed.

"The camera switching is a bit stiff, not coherent enough, and not delicate enough, but it looks good to shoot people." Shen Chong is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's work, and Zhang Aijia is also a woman with a very independent temperament, so except for occasionally giving some opinions to the promotion of "Love at Dawn", he basically does not mix with specific work, so he asked: "Who directed this MV?" ”

"Yang Fan."

"It turned out to be him."

Yang Fan is a well-known film director and professional photographer in Hong Kong, he has made movies such as "Flowers of the Sea", "Golden Years", "Garden Dream", etc., his films are known for their beauty, focusing on beauty, and the plot is relatively plain, so the box office is not outstanding, but the reputation in the circle is quite good, this person is not only in addition to movies, the level of photography is also very good, and the "Film Times" royal photographer Liang Haiping is a famous connoisseur, often takes artistic photos for stars and celebrities, and many Taiwanese stars come to Hong Kong to take pictures with him.

If I remember correctly, in the time and space of his previous life, Zhang Aijia had cooperated with Yang Fan to make several movies, and the two must have known each other for a long time, Shen Chong asked casually: "You went to him to shoot?" ”

"I didn't look for it, it was introduced by Selina, don't you know? Yang Fan used to be the director, director and producer of Jiayi TV, specializing in making TV specials for singers. ”

Wipe......

It is said that TVB Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Jiayi TV seems to be not far behind, Tsui Hark, Mi Xue, Zheng Yuling, Liang Xiaolong, Feng Quifan and others all came out of this TV station, and it turned out that Yang Fan was also ......

The old Jiayi TV is over,My new Jiayi TV,I don't know what kind of talent will be cultivated in the future......

Is it to bring those celebrities in the future to the Internet as junior brothers, or to directly train and promote all capable people without discrimination?

"Don't look at it, let's go eat." Zhang Aijia pushed Shen Chong, who was out of the world, and urged: "The premiere at eight o'clock, it's almost seven o'clock now, and it's too late to drag it out." ”

Forget it, one step is one step, no matter how many talents there are, there are not too many talents!

"Stop this wind baby, hug daring ...... for a long night"

In the dynamic music, Shen Chong stood up, bent down and stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of inviting dance, Zhang Aijia smiled, put his hand in his palm, and then the two walked sideways towards the restaurant, only two steps, and had to separate - Shen Chong didn't know how to dance at all, and almost tripped Zhang Aijia over.

"You!" Zhang Aijia bent down and stroked her ankles, and complained with hatred: "The newspapers say that you are the most romantic person in Hong Kong, and I think you are the most unromantic person in Hong Kong. ”

Shen Chong snorted awkwardly, walked to the dining table in three steps and two steps, pulled the chair away first, and said: "Beauty, not only am I not romantic, I haven't even learned much about gentlemanly demeanor, I can only pull the chair, and at most I can wash the dishes." ”

Zhang Aijia smiled slightly, took the initiative to kiss him first, and then sat down.

This is a villa in Kowloon Tong, which used to be a property owned by Gammon Construction, and Shen Chong gave it to Zhang Aijia after taking over, and before he went to the mainland, it had been renovated here, and today is the first time to come.

"How does it feel to live here?"

"It's nice and quiet, except for the occasional plane." Zhang Aijia helped him scoop a bowl of soup, and then said, "It's a bit big to live alone." ”

"There's nothing wrong with being bigger...... Shen Chong was gossiping casually while eating dinner, and after a while, seeing that Zhang Aijia was a little absent-minded, he said: "Don't worry about the movie, the box office won't be bad." ”

"How do you know?"

"There is a golden rule in the real estate industry, which is called location, location, and location, and there is also a golden rule in the film industry, which is called fame, fame, and fame." Shen Chong slowly explained: "I read PolyGram's report in the afternoon, Leslie's new album has only been on the market for a week, and it has sold 120,000 copies, setting a record for the fastest double platinum sales in the history of the Hong Kong record industry. ”

"It's only 2 million."

"It's the first time I've been a director, and it's already good to have a box office of 2 million, how much more do you want?"

"2 million was not bad last year, but this year, the entire Hong Kong market is in full swing by you, and 2 million can't be taken at all." Zhang Aijia exhaled lightly and said: "If the box office and reputation of my drama are not as good as others, it will be very embarrassing, after all, my office is on the seventh floor." ”

Shen Chong was slightly stunned, and then understood - Oriental Charm started filming 9 movies at the same time last month in the name of "touchstone", she was worried that she couldn't compare to the movies made up by those assistant producers, after all, she is the second person besides Hu Jinquan to have an independent office on the seventh floor and have the right to film independently.

"In the film industry, there are three kinds of fame that can attract the box office, one is an actor, one is a director, and the other is a producer, Leslie's fame can sell 2 million, Brigitte's fame can sell 1 million, your fame can sell 1 million, my fame can sell 5 million, plus publicity and marketing, it is not impossible for the final box office to exceed 10 million." Shen Chong wrenched his fingers to calculate the numbers, and then comforted with a smile: "The box office of 10 million is enough to be satisfied, right?" ”

"Of course I'm satisfied with 10 million, but can there really be 10 million?"

"If I say yes, there will be."

Zhang Aijia looked at him sideways for a while, then sneered and said, "What if I don't have 10 million?" ”

"If it doesn't exceed 10 million, I'll dispose of it, and if it exceeds 10 million, you can dispose of it."

……

In the 80s, Hong Kong had the world's most avid moviegoers, many citizens would go to a movie every week or even every day, and the strong market demand not only prospered Hong Kong's production industry, but also prospered the projection industry, such as at the junction of Tsim Sha Tsui and Nathan Road, which is less than 0. 5 square kilometers, there are seven theaters!

You must know that in 1980, Hong Kong's cinemas are all single-family buildings, covering a large area, Tsim Sha Tsui is a golden business district, every inch of land is gold, seven cinemas nested together, fierce competition, rare in the world, but there is no boss to demolish the cinema and rebuild it into a shopping mall or office building, obviously everyone has to make money, which shows the prosperity of Hong Kong's film industry at this time.

The seven theaters near Nathan Road are Washington, London, Happy, Dahua, Puqing, Golden Harvest and Guanyong, among which Golden Harvest Cinema is the leading cinema of Golden Harvest's cinema chain, and it is also the location of the premiere of "Love at Dawn".

The premiere is a common means of publicity in the 21st century, and almost every movie has to be done once, but in Hong Kong in 1980, no one has ever done this kind of thing, "Love at Dawn" is the first to eat crabs - "Die Hard" has had a premiere in the United States, but not in Hong Kong, because this film has been the focus of Hong Kong media competition and reporting since the day of filming, after half a year of bombing and brewing, the popularity and popularity value have already exploded. There is no need to have a premiere to promote it.

April's extravagant Academy Awards boosted the influence of the film on Hong Kong pop culture, and the "Vanity Fair" weekly magazine for star-making spared no effort to show and tout the charm of stars, under the starlight, the fascinated star-chasers naturally came into being, the film's starring Leslie Cheung and Lin Qingxia are high-quality idols with a large number of fans, and this day is a weekend, so the premiere is scheduled to be held at 8 o'clock in the evening, and at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the door and lobby of the Golden Harvest Cinema are crowded with fans who come to watch the ceremony, Of course, there are also many journalists who are moved by the news.

Qian Xiaoni was wearing a sleeveless white dress, standing next to the red carpet at the entrance of the Golden Harvest Theater, stroked her hair in the makeup mirror, pursed her lips with lipstick, and then looked up and asked the photographer, "How do I look?" ”

"Very OK!"

Qian Xiaoni handed the mirror to the assistant, lowered her head, and gently pulled the neckline of her clothes with both hands.

"Angel face, devil figure, worthy of being the flower of Jiayi TV!"

"It's no wonder that the "Daily Film News" hosted by her can become the self-made program with the highest ratings on Jiayi TV, it is really coquettish, and I feel sorry for it."

"Tsk, it's so coquettish, if you can sleep with her once, it's worth dying."

"Don't dream, that's the woman of Shen Caishen, it's not something you can sleep with if you want to."

"She has a relationship with Shen Caishen? How I haven't heard of it. ”

"You are too ill-informed, let me tell you, among the dozens of employees of Jiayi TV Station, she is the only one who is personally arranged by Shen Caishen, do you say it matters? And the last time I jumped into the sea naked, I saw Shen Caishen personally pick her up on the boat, like this...... Hold it with both hands. ”

"Shen Caishen hugged left and right, and he was famous for being lustful and greedy for flowers, how could he not put such a superb hostess."

The workplace is the most workout place, and a few months ago when I saw people blushing shyly, after more than two months of experience, Qian Xiaoni stood in the crowd, listening to the wind and rumors, her face did not change and her heart did not beat, she picked up the microphone with the logo of Jiayi TV, tried the audition, and then spoke fluently The opening remarks: "Ladies and gentlemen, my current position is the Golden Harvest Cinema on Nathan Road, Kowloon, where the premiere of "Love at Dawn" will be held tonight......

As soon as she had made a start, she heard a commotion and shouting nearby, from small to large, scattered to neat.

“leslie！”

“leslie！”

“leslie！”

"Leslie Cheung is here, go shoot!"

Qian Xiaoni immediately ran forward, and as soon as she ran, a large group of entertainment reporters immediately followed the entrance to the red carpet, and after TVB and Li's TV cameras and location program hosts were stunned, they also hurriedly followed—they were all newly formed teams, and their sensitivity and response to news were not as fast as others.

Although Jiayi TV has only one movie station, in addition to movies, it will also produce some interviews and entertainment news programs, among which Qian Xiaoni's "Daily Film News" has attracted the attention of a large number of movie lovers, and it has only been on the air for a month, and it has become the most popular program of Jiayi TV, and the ratings have overwhelmed the columns of TVB and Li's TV at the same time.

In 1980, watching movies is still a relatively high-end entertainment enjoyment, and at this time, the TV industry is not mature enough, except for the TV series in prime time at night, there is a lack of other programs to attract audiences, so although the content of Jiayi TV is monotonous, the ratings are not low, and it can steadily suppress Li's TV most of the time, and when some classic movies are screened, the ratings can even overwhelm TVB, and briefly sit on the throne of the first rating.

With the support of the Oriental charm of the film library,Jiayi TV is light,The operating cost is very low,So the strategy of small profits and quick turnover is adopted when advertising investment,The charging standard is relatively cheap,At the same time, Shen Chong's reputation has also added a great halo to the TV station,Some enterprises and businessmen take the advertising of Jiayi TV as a stepping stone to make friends with Shen Chong,Hong Kong is so big,The advertising market is limited,How many orders have Jiayi TV snatched,TVB and Li's TV will have less income,They can't help but go all out, Operate with heart.

All in all, the three TV stations stand side by side, and the competitive pressure is far greater than that of the two TV stations competing for hegemony, so as soon as Qian Xiaoni's program became popular, TVB and Li's TV immediately formed similar entertainment information programs to compete for ratings.
