It only takes one hour and 40 minutes to fly from Hong Kong to Taipei, Shen Chong left at 11 o'clock, and when he arrived at Zhongzheng International Airport, it was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon.

Chiang Kai-shek International Airport was one of the "Top Ten Constructions" in Taiwan promoted by Chiang Ching-kuo in the 70s, opened before the Spring Festival in 1979, and is currently one of the most advanced airports in Asia.

When he stepped off the plane, Shen Chong was quite emotional, after the completion of this airport, it was named after the former "Republic of China" President Jiang Zhongzheng to commemorate it, at this time, no one could have imagined that the Jiang dynasty that would be the ruler of Taiwan for thousands of generations would fall apart with the death of Chiang Ching-kuo after the first year, and more than 20 years later, the name of this place was also changed to "Taoyuan International Airport".

The vicissitudes of life, but so.

"Mr. Shen, welcome to Taipei." It was Duan Zhongtan who came to pick up the plane, and after he shook hands, he enthusiastically blamed: "Why don't you notify me first?" I also had to make arrangements in advance, but now I am caught off guard and have not prepared anything. ”

"I'm alone, where do I need to arrange." Shen Chong smiled: "I'm causing trouble to Mr. Duan." ”

"Nothing. In Hong Kong, Mr. Shen took care of me, and when I came to Taipei, I must do my best to be a landlord. Duan Zhongtan was very enthusiastic and said: "Mr. Shen calls me Lao Duan, or call me Sanmao, and others call me that." ”

"Okay, Brother Sanmao." Shen Chong reciprocated Li and said: "Brother Sanmao, don't call me Mr. Shen, call me Ah Chong, Mr. Come and Mr. Go, Shengfen." ”

Seeing that Duan Zhongtan was a little hesitant, Shen Chong knew his scruples, and said: "It is my consistent principle to be friends first and then talk about business, Brother Sanmao, just because you are all friends worth making, I only invested, between friends, why bother too much?" ”

"Okay, since Mr. Shen said so, then I will call you Ah Chong in the future." Duan Zhongtan was not pretentious, and asked, "Ah Chong, your luggage?" ”

"I'm here to flee." Shen Chong held up the magazine in his hand and said, "I only brought one magazine as luggage, and it was changed halfway." ”

"How?" Duan Zhongtan smiled and said, "Hiding from love debts? ”

"Love debts are love debts." Shen Chong walked side by side with him towards the outside of the airport, and said, "It's a pity that it's not a beauty debt, it's a human debt, a group of big men begged me for help and sent them to another big man to ravage." ”

Duan Zhongtan was shocked when he heard this, he stopped and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

After Shen Chong briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, he nodded understandingly, and said with a smile: "This kind of opportunity is rare, if Ah Chong you sign Bob Dylan, I will also beg you to let me go and ravage him." ”

"I'll never do such a stupid thing again, or I'll have to climb the moon to live in the future." Shen Chong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Sanmao, don't tell me about this, otherwise I won't be able to stay in Taiwan." ”

"Don't worry." Duan Zhongtan laughed and said: "Fortunately, you met me, I only love music, I have no interest in movies, if you meet my brother, it will inevitably leak out." ”

"What, your eldest brother likes movies?"

"He and Ming Ji, the general manager of China Film, are friends and often come and go." Duan Zhongtan was afraid that Shen Chong would not understand, so he explained: "China Film is Taiwan's Central Film Company. (Note 1)

Shen Chong was very surprised, he didn't expect Duan Zhongyi to be enthusiastic about the film industry.

Zhongzheng International Airport is about 4o kilometers away from Taipei City, connected by a high highway, and it takes about half an hour to reach the city.

"Ah Chong, Taipei is not as good as Hong Kong, there are not so many good hotels." On the way, Duan Zhongtan asked while driving, "Where do you want to live?" ”

"Let's take the Maruyama Hotel." Shen Chong said casually: "I heard that there is a secret passage dug by Chiang Kai-shek inside, and I didn't live last time, so I will go to explore the secret again this time." ”

Duan Zhongtan didn't say anything, he glanced at Shen Chong in the rearview mirror, and after a while, he reminded euphemistically: "Ah Chong, you are used to being free in Hong Kong, and when you come to Taipei, you still have to be careful when you speak, sometimes it's easy to get into trouble." ”

Shen Chong was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, this is Taipei during the "martial law" period, not Taipei in the 21st century, and what he said just now made a lot of taboos.

Many Taiwanese only know Chiang Chung-zheng, but do not know who "Chiang Kai-shek" is, and they also call him "Chiang Gong" when they speak.

The Yuanshan Hotel was originally used by Song Meiling to entertain high-ranking officials from all walks of life, and the escape passage inside was a military secret......

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Shen Chong said, "What Brother Sanmao said is that I am too open-mouthed. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, just pay attention." Duan Zhongtan also smiled bitterly and said: "In Taiwan's current environment, I dare not say what should be said, and I don't dare to say what I shouldn't say, and it's very troublesome." ”

"Then don't stay at the Yuanshan Hotel, it's too restrained, Brother Sanmao, you can help me find a hotel."

Probably Duan Zhongtan was really afraid that Shen Chong would get into trouble, so he finally took him to the Ambassador Hotel on Zhongshan North Road, which was the first five-star hotel in Taiwan.

After arranging the check-in procedures, it was almost two o'clock, and the two were hungry, so they didn't go to the room, but went directly to the restaurant and had a full meal.

"Brother Sanmao, you are busy with your business, don't worry about me." After eating and drinking, Shen Chong touched his stomach and said, "I'll just go around alone." ”

"Entertaining you is my biggest thing." Duan Zhongtan waved his hand and said, "The scenery of Taipei is still good, I am a tour guide, where do you want to go sightseeing?" ”

Shen Chong thought for a while and said, "Guling Street is not far from here?" ”

"It's not far away." Duan Zhongtan asked, "What are you going to do there?" ”

"I heard that there are a lot of old books there, so I went to see them."

"That's the old calendar." Duan Zhongtan laughed and said: "In 1973, when the city was built, all those used bookstalls were moved to Guanghua Shopping Mall on Bade Road. ”

"In that case, forget it." Shen Chong gave up, he knew about Guling Street, firstly because of Yang Dechang's "Guling Street Juvenile Murder Incident", secondly, because Gu Long had lived there, and thirdly, because the second-hand bookstalls there were famous.

However, Yang Dechang was still in Seattle at this time, Gu Long had already moved away, and the used bookstall was gone.

"If you're not tired, you might as well go to the company." Duan Zhongtan took the initiative to raise the conversation and said: "Ah Chong, you are the largest shareholder, and if you don't come to Taipei to go to Rolling Stone, we small shareholders don't know the bottom of our hearts." ”

"It's fine."

Rolling Stone has just been established, very shabby, with only a few offices, five or six clerks, a costly recording studio is still under construction, and its singer is only Luo Dayou, who is still a part-time worker - his father is adamantly against dropping out of school and wants him to become a doctor.

Duan Zhongyi and Peng Guohua went to Japan a few days ago to purchase the equipment needed for the recording studio, while Wu Chuchu went to Tainan, and only Duan Zhongtan stayed alone.

In Duan Zhongtan's office, Shen Chong flipped through the company's personnel roster and said: "The construction of the recording studio is more than halfway through, why is there only one singer, Luo Dayou?" ”

Ah Chong...... Forget it, when talking about business, let's call you Mr. Shen, otherwise it's weird. Duan Zhongtan said: "The matter of signing the singer is mainly Wu Chuchu's responsibility, he has different opinions with us, and there is a bit of a contradiction, so it is deadlocked." ”

"How?"

"Luo Dayou has written some very good songs, so we want to give him an album first as a company's entrepreneurial work." Duan Zhongtan explained: "However, Wu Chuchu felt that Luo Dayou's style was biased towards rock music, and the lyrics were too intense and too risky, so he wanted to sign a few campus folk singers to cater to the market and make a folk song album first." ”

Shen Chong scratched his head again, a little surprised.

The Rolling Stones quartet had a disagreement so early?

Wu Chuchu is very good at avoiding all kinds of risks, is a master of seeing the wind and steering the rudder, among Taiwan's first generation of folk singers, Yang Zujun was forced to give up his singing career, Hu Defu sang for more than 20 years before releasing his first album, and what about him...... first entered the Rolling Stones, then created a flying saucer, and finally on the eve of the decline of Chinese pop music, he sold the company to Warner and made a lot of money.

In the special environment of "martial law", at the beginning of the company's establishment, following the market trend and making a mild album to make a well-known album, Wu Chuchu's decision is understandable.

I don't know why the Duan brothers acted safely towards Wu Chuchu?

"Now the whole of Taiwan is singing campus folk songs, green mountains and green waters, men and women love, a beautiful sound, too feminine." Seeing that Shen Chong didn't speak, Duan Zhongtan continued: "So eldest brother and I think that at this time, with Luo Dayou's rock music, a completely different sound and a shock to the society, the effect may be better." ”

"I don't know much about Taiwanese society, and I don't know music, so I don't interfere in the company's operations." Shen Chong put down the roster and said: "But the company is not short of money, why don't you just open two working groups, one to make Luo Dayou's album, and the other to make a campus folk song album, two prongs, the differences will not be resolved." ”

"The company has just been founded, and there aren't that many people working on two albums at the same time."

"If no one is there, they will poach people." Shen Chongjian said: "As long as the hoe is swung well, how can there be a corner that can't be dug down, Xinge Records, Haishan Records, and Gelin Records, all dig and dig, weaken the opponent, strengthen themselves, and kill two birds with one stone." ”

"That's not good, is it?" Duan Zhongtan hesitated a little and said: "We are a new company, and it is easy for them to boycott people rashly. ”

"What are you afraid of, the new company must have a new atmosphere." Shen Chong said bewildermently: "If you don't break the old pattern, how can there be a chance for a new company to take the position." ”

"Mr. Shen, you don't know." Duan Zhongtan smiled bitterly and said: "Our recording studio will take at least half a year to be built, and now to record songs, we have to borrow Xinge's ones, record them, and find a factory in Haishan to make records, if they get stuck, we can only go to Japan to record and make records, and the cost will be doubled." (Note 2)

It's going to Japan again......

Shen Chong was speechless, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the industrial base of film and music at this time was too poor.

After filming the movie, if you want a good effect, you have to go to Japan for dubbing and soundtrack in the later stage - "Crazy Robbery" didn't go to Japan because Shen Chong was tossing blindly and the budget was too much, so scared that Xu Anhua didn't dare to mention going to Japan with him, so he made do with it in Hong Kong.
