After walking around the small hall of the sanatorium and checking the structure of the house and the projection equipment, Shen Chong said to Liao Chengzhi with a smile: "Fortunately, this is not a professional movie theater, otherwise, I will definitely not show you this movie." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"My film uses the latest stereo technology, and if it is shown in a professional cinema, the sound is very shocking and will cause a burden on the heart." Shen Chong found that he could not express the effect of stereo sound in words, so he turned to Jing Puchun and said; "Auntie, the walls here don't absorb sound, and the projection equipment doesn't support stereo sound, so the sound is the same as a normal movie, don't worry."

"That's good."

"In that case, let's start putting it quickly, it doesn't matter if I'm a patient, Secretary Xi is a busy person, so I can't delay." Liao Chengzhi said to the orderly: "You go and inform the projectionist, you can put it on." Xiao Shen, you move a chair and sit here. Apu, don't be nervous, watch a movie, it doesn't matter. ”

It is said that it is a small hall, but it is actually more like a cultural activity center for the elderly, and the seats in it are not neatly arranged, they are in groups of three or five, and they can move freely, Shen Chong moved a chair and sat behind the two big people.

At the beginning of the film, as soon as the logo of oriental charm was played, Liao Chengzhi asked: "Xiao Shen, your movie hasn't been released in Hong Kong yet, right?" ”

"Nope."

"Then why did you bring it to Guangzhou?"

"Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, I finally made a movie that is not inferior to American Hollywood, of course I want everyone to see it." Shen Chong said half-truthfully: "I brought this copy to Guangzhou to cooperate with Zhujiang Film Studio to do Mandarin dubbing, and to prepare for the future screening in the mainland through the input and output company." ”

"Don't lose Hollywood, your tone is not small" Liao Chengzhi smiled and said: "I'll have a sneak peek tonight to see how you don't lose Hollywood." ”

"Xiao Shen dares to compete with Americans, this mentality is very good, and young people should be like this."

Between the words, the opening credits end, enter the feature film, the beginning of the film took a few minutes to explain the protagonist's occupation, personality and ability, Lamma Island belongs to the undeveloped area of Hong Kong, farmland huts, similar to the mainland environment, Sammo Hung is also a loyal and honest face, the image of ordinary little people at the bottom, so that the only few viewers have a sense of intimacy, and the two bigwigs also gossiped a few words about the hard years of the year.

The plot soon progresses to Christmas, Sammo Hung leaves Lamma Island to go to Central to meet his childhood sweetheart's dream lover, at this time John Woo uses a long aerial shot from Lamma Island all the way north, over Victoria Peak, then a bird's-eye view of the whole Central, and then a short circle in Victoria Harbour, and finally freeze in front of Connaught Building.

"Hong Kong deserves to be the Pearl of the Orient, with high-rise buildings, thousands of sails, and so ......prosperous."

"Yes, in just twenty or thirty years, it is more prosperous than Guangzhou, and if we don't carry out reform and opening up, we ......"

Shen Chong sat honestly in the back, without saying a word, listening to the two bigwigs talking and chatting, and only said a few words when he asked him.

"Xiao Shen, this is the tallest building in Hong Kong?"

"Yes." Shen Chong's data came as soon as he opened his mouth and introduced: "Kangle Building, built in 19 years and completed in 1973, took only 16 months from the start of construction to the capping, setting a world record at that time, and the whole building was l78 high. At 5 meters, it is currently the tallest building in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, but in a few months, it will be replaced by the new Hopewell Centre. ”

"When will it be nice if there is such a building in the mainland......

"Take one step at a time, don't be in a hurry, now the form is getting better and better......"

"Die Hard" has a compact plot and full of tension, although John Woo has not yet reached his peak at this time, his standard is already good, the lens beauty and scene control are already quite masterful, coupled with the action scenes personally checked by Shen Chong, the whole movie is wonderful, ** repeatedly, not only let the two bigwigs watch it with relish, but also the several guards in the entourage can't take their eyes off it.

However, as Shen Chong said after the premiere of "Star Wars Empire Strikes Back", the same movie, different audiences, and different doorways, after the two bigwigs watched it, they didn't mention a word about the plot and scenes of the movie.

"Xiao Shen, your movie is good-looking, but it's too extravagant, a good building, and you've blown it up." After the movie, Secretary Xi stood up, shook his head and said, "Although I know that everything in the movie is fake, I still can't help but feel distressed, Director Liao, do you say?" ”

"I think it's the same, what a good building, it's a mess, Xiao Shen is too big." Liao Chengzhi also criticized him, saying: "I read Hong Kong media reports that you spent $100,000 on making this movie? 10uu dollars, it's not good to do anything to make a movie, and it's a movie with only ornamental value, no artistic value. ”

"$100,000? Xiao Shen, did it really take so much? ”

"It cost 10uu of dollars." Shen Chong explained with a smile: "But this number has a lot of moisture, I put in the purchase of various equipment, the construction of dubbing studios and printing factories, the invitation of Americans to come to Hong Kong for training, and so on, in fact, these are long-term investments, and they will be used to make other movies in the future, and they cannot be regarded as the cost of this movie, and I deliberately said that I spent 10uu, just for publicity." ”

"Even so, that's a lot of investment, $100,000,000, in China, you can do a lot of things." After Secretary Xi sighed for a while, he shook hands with Shen Chong and said, "Xiao Shen, thank you for your movie tonight, it's very good, let me enjoy a two-hour break." In the future, you are welcome to come to Guangzhou often, and of course, you are also welcome to invest in the mainland. ”

"The secretary is polite, I'm very lazy, you say so, I will come to Guangzhou twice in three days to harass me in the future."

"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it." Secretary Xi let go of his hand and said goodbye to Liao Chengzhi: "Director Liao, you cultivate well, I'll go back first." ”

After sending Liao Chengzhi and his wife back to the small building where they lived in the sanatorium, Shen Chong and Li Kaiyuan also said goodbye and left, on the way back to the hotel, Li Kaiyuan looked at Shen Chong and said with a smile: "Ah Chong, others say that you are the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, but I feel more and more that you are not like the God of Wealth, you are more like another immortal." ”

"Which immortal?"

"Birthday boy."

"Huh?" Shen Chong was surprised and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"There is a saying after the break, called the birthday star's plan - old and calculating." Li Kaiyuan said: "When others make movies, they make movies, but when you make movies, you have to get around and come up with all kinds of tricks, not scheming, what is it?" ”

After she finished speaking, she touched Shen Chong's forehead with her hand and said, "Don't think too much about it in the future, otherwise you will not look good if you are young and have forehead wrinkles." ”
