Chapter 3 Newspaper Clippings

Zhang Aijia's noodle making skills are really good, and after several people have tasted it, they are full of praise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Praise people also praise the right place, you guys, you haven't even gotten to the point." Shen Chong ran around in his previous life, and had eaten a lot of local delicacies, he stirred the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and said: "There are fried noodles in many places, Shandong, Hebei, and Guangdong, among which Beijing is the most famous, but Shanxi, known as the world's first food, fried noodles naturally have unique characteristics, it pays attention to sauce, noodles, and meat are not separated, minced meat is wrapped in sauce, sauce is wrapped in noodles, noodles are evenly packed, and it tastes delicious." ”

"You're a glutton" Zhang Aijia glanced at him with a smile and said, "But you're really right, when I used to study, my grandparents said so." ”

"I see, I said how is it different from the last time I ate in Beijing." Lily suddenly said: "The sauce in Beijing is very thick, and the diced meat is a little bigger, with skin on it, Sister Zhang's is thinner, the diced meat is small, without skin, but it is very fragrant and delicious." ”

"Mr. Shen deserves to be a great talent." Chen Kunhou said with a smile: "I am well-informed, well-read and strong-remembered, and now I have a long insight." ”

"I don't know anything else, I know how to eat and drink." Shen Chong ate the noodles in a daze and said, "It's just a rice bucket." ”

Zhang Aijia was dissatisfied with his etiquette and said, "You pay attention to your image." ”

"It's all friends, what image do you want." Shen Chong looked up at everyone and said: "Eat noodles, it's hearty and flavorful, everyone don't sven, eat quickly, if you are worried about the image, after we have eaten, sign a confidentiality contract, whoever says it will be fined."

Everyone laughed, and the originally restrained atmosphere was much more relaxed.

After Shen Chong crossed, he was used to giving orders, and he had his own bearing, coupled with legendary experience and massive wealth, as well as all kinds of bizarre rumors, which gave him an unfathomable aura, not to mention his peers, even if he was a veteran in the workplace in his forties and fifties, he didn't dare to take it big in front of him, so wherever he went, where he was cold, he had to make some innocuous jokes from time to time to eliminate this sense of alienation, otherwise he wouldn't want to make friends for the rest of his life.

"Did you find a song that you like?"

"I searched for a day, but I didn't find a good one." Leslie Cheung looked at Shen Chong and said, "Mr. Shen said that he planned to write a poem. ”

Zhang Aijia was pleasantly surprised and immediately asked, "Really?" Didn't you say that the pen was sealed? ”

"I also said that I exercise every day and run ten miles every day." Shen Chong smiled and said, "Actually, I've exhausted my talents, maybe you can't even look at what I write." ”

"Eat fast, eat fast." Zhang Aijia urged again and again, saying, "I'll write after eating." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry, let me see the sample you took first." Shen Chong delayed and said, "Besides, you should write songs and write reports, you can write when you say you can." ”

"Aren't you three steps into a poem and seven steps into a song?"

"Writing songs also has to have emotions, and you have to feel them." Shen Chong was messing around, and said: "Cao Zhi is also a knife to his neck, and it only took seven steps to become a poem, and now I am facing a bowl of delicious noodles, even if I walk a hundred steps, I will only drool." ”

Lily ate and laughed, almost squirting the noodles, causing everyone to laugh, and the atmosphere was completely good.

Shen Chong was really not particular, he ate the noodles in one go, and then sat there contentedly, eating the fruit salad with a spoon, and began to chat one by one.

“。” He asked Leslie Cheung first and said, "Did Li's TV answer your contract question?" ”

"Yes, they agreed to sign the contract in the future." Leslie Cheung put down his chopsticks very gentlemanly and said with a smile: "I signed three TV series with them according to Mr. Shen's suggestion. ”

"That's good." Shen Chong nodded and said, "It's good for you to be more relaxed, you don't have to deal with those messy activities." ”

In the May 1977 issue, Leslie Cheung signed a three-year contract with Li's TV, which expired in May 19ru, and if there was no Shen Chong, he would renew the contract for two years, and Shen Chong appeared, and things naturally changed - Shen Chong suggested that he sign a contract with Li's TV.

Signing a head contract, the flexibility is relatively large, there are TV dramas to act in TV series, and you can also act in movies when there are no TV series, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Leslie Cheung is only 19 years old, his acting skills can't be said to be young, but they can't be said to be too good, and he needs the opportunity to exercise, and although Oriental Charm plans to produce movies about the department this year, there may not be a suitable role for him to play, not to mention that the film market is risky, if the box office fails, he has a "box office poison" signboard, which is not good for his future development, so it is better to act in a few more TV series and hone his acting skills steadily.

Because the role fits its own image, Leslie Cheung performed eye-catching in Li's TV drama "Six Tribulations of Floating Life" at the beginning of the year, his acting skills were affirmed by the media, and he was a blockbuster at the Academy Awards, showing a strong upward momentum.

After Shen Chong asked Leslie Cheung, he changed the object and said, "Sister Qingxia, after the filming of this movie, are you willing to sign a long-term contract with my company?" ”

"Huh? I? Lin Qingxia was a little flustered, and said hesitantly: "My contract was signed by my mother for me." ”

"Oh, that's right." Shen Chong said with a smile: "For example, you give me my aunt's phone number, and I will talk to her?" ”

"No, no, I'll call her sometime and tell you later."

Shen Chong wanted to continue asking, but Zhang Aijia patted him and complained: "How can there be a master like you, talking about business at the dinner table, and not letting people eat, you can quickly walk away after eating, sit here, and let others lose their appetite." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go." Shen Chong stood up and said, "Everyone, use it slowly, I'll go upstairs to see the package first." ”

The parcels sent from Hong Kong were newspaper clippings made by Qiu Siyu, which were excerpts from the reports of major media on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places on the film in the recent period.

One is lace gossip, for example, after the awards of "Popular Movie", an issue of the "Academy Awards Supplement" was released, and the sales exceeded 5 million copies, because the photo of Chen Chong wearing a white dress and holding a trophy was used as the cover, but before May, the white skirts and white cloths in the supply and marketing cooperatives in many cities in the mainland were out of stock......

For example, the commentator who received the invitation got the nickname "Rat Strong" because of the word "strong" in his name, such as the hot pot restaurant where Pike and Hepburn ate was full, and some media were already speculating about who would be invited to present the award next year.

One is industry news, such as China Film Distribution and Projection Company to run "Film Pictorial"; Beijing Film Studio is preparing to make "Beijing Film Pictorial"; Li Hanxiang spent a lot of money to set up a set in Shaw Brothers Cinema to shoot Emperor Qianlong; Jin Yong sold the adaptation rights of "Flying Fox Gaiden" to Zhang Che at a friendly price of one Hong Kong dollar; Tsui Hark's new film "No Door to Hell" failed again at the box office; Wang Jing was named the "King of Kuaishou", after filming the first drama in August last year, to May this year, 5 movies were made in 9 months, with a box office of more than 20 million......

The last category is all about Zhao Dan, which is also the news that Shen Chong pays the most attention to.

The media in the three places reacted differently to Zhao Dan's remarks, and the Hong Kong media watched the fire from the other side, although there were many discussions and gossip, but there was no depth, just scratching the itch across the boots, purely for a lively purpose.

Taiwan's media, on the other hand, have gone against the norm in that they have not used the topic to attack the mainland, nor have they accused Sang of scolding Huai and accusing themselves of their own country, and they are very low-key; I do not know whether it is because they have been frightened by the "Beautiful Island" incident and have thrown a mouse, or because of the delicate cross-strait relations recently and the pressure exerted by the high-level authorities.

Contrary to the Taiwan media, the mainland media are very active, and the number of media involved and the wide range of the media make Shen Chong speechless.

Several editors-in-chief of "Popular Film" came to Hong Kong to attend the award ceremony, and also participated in the seminar of filmmakers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, and were greatly shocked, and Shen Chong had a ghost in his heart, and provided a large number of free materials on film legislation and film classification in various countries around the world, so in April's "Popular Film", not only the full text of Zhao Dan's speech was published, but also a long editor's note was attached with the title of "Standardizing and Legalizing the Film System", with a clear banner in support of film legislation.

"Popular Film" sold as many as six or seven million copies per issue, and its influence spread throughout the country, and in the turmoil, most intellectuals were impacted, and the pain on the skin was still there, so Zhao Dan's remarks immediately aroused a big discussion among the whole people, in addition to "Popular Film", "Film Art" and other professional film publications, by the end of April, even "Guangming Daily", "Economic Daily", "Xinmin Evening News" and other mouthpiece national newspapers were involved.

Among all these reports, Shen Chong is most concerned about two articles, one is a signed article published by Wang Yang in the "Film Art" sponsored by the China Film Association, he took the metaphor of "film and fish farming" that Shen Chong said at the celebration dinner, and wrote a few thousand words of argument, the main point of which is that fish farming must have a dam, so the government should legislate for films, and fish have sharks and goldfish, which need to be separated by fishing nets, so movies should be graded......

The article is not a lot of words, but the weight is extremely heavy, Wang Yang has run the Beijing Film Studio for more than 20 years, and he is a person who can directly talk to the Minister of the Ministry of Culture or the Central Propaganda Department, and his status in the mainland film circle is like Han Sanping in later generations, and he and Xia Yan are friends of life and death, so his article is of great significance.

The other article is a letter from a reader published in Guangming Daily, which was not written by an individual, but by a crew from Emei Film Studio.

According to the letter, the plot of this movie is like this: Xu Dahuai, the driver of Director Xia of the Hot Spring City Revolutionary Committee, drove drunk and killed female gymnast Jiang Yanyan, and the female president of the court found that this was a rape and murder case covered up in the illusion of a "traffic accident", and the real murderer was Director Xia's son Xia Huan, Xia Huan insulted the young woman Tang Xiaosu and forced her to commit suicide, and then tried to rape Jiang Yanyan, due to the attempted rape, After the incident, Xia Huan's mother, Liu Rulian, deputy director of the Municipal Materials Bureau, relied on her husband's power to create a "scapegoat" by means of bribery, co-optation, threats, and deception to apologize for her son. In the end, the female dean withstood the resistance and pressure from all sides, and sentenced the murderer Xia Huan to death in a solemn courtroom.

However, not long after the filming of this drama began, it was suddenly ordered to "suspend production activities", because the relevant leaders believed that "lawlessness above the children is a minority", "the protection of officials and officials is not typical", "the story time should be pushed to 197u years ago", and "the father of the criminal should be written as 'Gang of Four, people on the line"......

At the end of the letter, a rhetorical question was given: "If there is no legislation, will the film studios be state-run units that make movies for the people, or private tools to make movies for the relevant leaders?" ”

"This is the real big bomb," Shen Chong put down the newspaper clippings, stood up and said to himself, "I have to drink a glass of wine for this sentence." ”
