Chapter 12 Visiting Groups

Shen Chong arrived at the Great Wall Film Company, parked the car, and just walked two steps, a car drove over, he looked at the license plate and recognized that it was Xia Meng's car, so he stopped and stood on the side of the road and waited.

In the entertainment industry, handsome men and beautiful women are gathered, only actors with appearance and no temperament, no matter how much money they have, they can't become stars, just like a vase made of machine, even if it is pasted with gold and jade, it can't become a work of art.

With both appearance and temperament, you can be a big star, and if you want to go one step further and become a superstar who turns everyone upside down, in addition to temperament, you must also have aura.

The aura is very mysterious, but it is actually very simple - men can make the people around them feel ashamed, and women can make the people around them ashamed.

Men such as Bruce Lee, their kung fu makes everyone ashamed, as for women, Shen Chong has only seen one so far, and that is Xia Meng.

Based on his movie-watching experience in his previous life, Lin Qingxia is one of the most aura actresses in the Chinese film industry, as long as she exists, whether it is a movie or a party, most actresses will be overshadowed.

However, at the celebration banquet in Taipei last time, there were too many people who needed to socialize, and Lin Qingxia was at the lowest point in her life, hiding in the corner, the light was dim, Shen Chong saw it in a hurry, and she didn't feel much.

Although Xia Meng is middle-aged, her demure and elegant aura, in the middle, overflowing outside, between words and deeds, it is like a spring breeze, after contacting her a few times, Shen Chong feels that it is a pity, she is really born at the wrong time, the best time of her acting career happens to be the most chaotic era in China, if she is born in her later years, she will definitely become a world-class movie star.

And if he had traveled twenty years earlier, he would definitely have been a rival to Jin Yong......

Xia Meng walked over with a beige women's bag in her arms, interrupting Shen Chong's myth: "Mr. Shen, hello." ”

"Sister Xia Meng, morning." Shen Chong came back to his senses and walked side by side towards Fu Qi's office with her, chatting as he walked: "Fang Yuping's movie, has it started filming?" ”

"It was already on last week." Xia Meng said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I really thank Mr. Shen for his help, otherwise, I would still be worried about how to set up a company." ”

"Where, Sister Xia Meng is polite." Shen Chong smiled and said, "I also have a share in the Blue Bird Company, I just help myself." ”

Xia Meng's Blue Bird Film Company is not simple.

In the fifties and sixties, the salary of Hong Kong movie stars was still very high compared to ordinary people, for example, Feng Baobao's salary for a movie was as high as Ruo Hong Kong dollars, but the Great Wall Film Company was state-owned, in other words, it was a big pot of rice, although Xia Meng was famous in Southeast Asia, he could only get the salary of an actor rather than a star, and the income was not much, and it is said that in the sixties, the Great Wall Company was affected by the mainland, and after falling into trouble, he lent Xia Meng to other companies to film, and then took her salary and paid the employees.

In 19 years, Xia Meng and other leftist film company employees were recalled to the mainland to receive ideological education and reform, in Guangzhou, she met the criticized Cantonese opera master Red Line Girl, deeply touched, after returning to Hong Kong, the last film filmed was not released, so she moved to Canada at home and escaped.

In January 1979, after Liao Chengzhi's banquet, Xia Meng had the heart to return to the film industry, but he lacked funds, so the film company never started

After Shen Chong saw Xia Meng, he had been thinking about how to invest a sum of money in her without a trace and become a shareholder of Jade Bird Film Company, but before he could think of a name, Xia Meng found the starting capital.

During the National Day in October, Fok Yingdong went to Beijing to attend the inauguration ceremony of the CITIC Company, and donated a sum of money to the Xinhua News Agency on the pretext of exhibiting cultural undertakings.

In 1979, the mainland was hungry for any funds, and this fat meat that everyone wanted to gnaw on was finally given to Xia Meng from Hong Kong to make a movie, which shows her popularity and connections in the mainland.

A Xia Meng is worth investing in, and now it has a relationship with Huo Yingdong and Xinhua News Agency, how can he let it go......

Xia Meng has left the film industry for more than ten years, the staff of that year have long been old and scattered, she has funds, but no manpower, the Cultural Congress is over, after returning to Hong Kong, Shen Chong immediately sent charcoal in the snow, not only drew more than a dozen people from Oriental Charm to help, but also gave her Fang Yuping's similar movie that had been prepared as a business work.

After some tossing, Shen Chong finally became a shareholder of the Blue Bird Film Company, but the shares were not much, only thirty percent.

First, although Huo Yingdong's money was donated, Xia Meng insisted on reserving shares for him, planning to repay the money in the future; Second, Shen Chong is interested in Xia Meng and the interpersonal resources behind her, as for the Blue Bird Film Company, it is just a link, and there is no need to take the lead.

Talking and laughing with Xia Meng, he soon walked to Fu Qi's office, but unexpectedly he was empty, and the clerk who stayed in the office said that Fu Qi took the visiting group to the set early in the morning to watch the post-production of "The Legend of the White Witch".

In July, after the photo of Deng Gong and the crew members in Huangshan was exclusively published in "Film Times", "The Legend of the White Witch" became the focus of attention at home and abroad, and it was reasonable for mainland delegations to go to see it.

As soon as he walked into the door of the studio, Shen Chong saw more than 20 people, divided into several piles, standing or squatting, some surrounding the equipment, some surrounding the equipment, pointing and commenting.

"Mr. Shen?" A middle-aged man happened to be walking outside from the inside, saw Shen Chong, stepped forward to shake hands, and said, "Hello Mr. Shen, we meet again." ”

"Ah, it's Section Chief Zhou, hello, hello." After Shen Chong saw his face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, quickly shook hands with him, and then introduced: "Section Chief Zhou, let me introduce you, this is Xia Meng, Sister Xia Meng, this is the technical backbone of CCTV, Zhou Chunrong and Section Chief Zhou."

"Hello Section Chief Zhou."

"Miss Xia Meng, hello, I'm your fan......" Zhou Chunrong was over forty years old, with a calm bearing, Shen Chong stood on the side, and saw that his face was actually a little red from the side, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh at Xia Meng's charm.

glanced at the set and saw that others hadn't noticed him yet, Shen Chong asked with a smile: "Section Chief Zhou, have you changed your career to making movies?" Which studio did you go to? ”

"It's not." Zhou Chunrong touched his sideburns, and said with a smile: "Director Wang and I came to Hong Kong to purchase a batch of equipment, and we happened to be on the way with the comrades from the Film Bureau, so we came here together." ”

Shen Chong was taken aback when he heard this.

CCTV was restructured by Beijing TV in 1978, and until now there is no official director, only five deputy directors, Zhou Chunrong said that Director Wang, is in charge of career construction, administrative management and technical work deputy director Wang Feng, Shen Chong in Beijing, has dealt with several times, and the memorandum of donation of recording and broadcasting equipment was signed with him.

"Your chief Wang is also here?" Shen Chong scanned the set again, and then asked, "Why didn't you see him?" ”

Zhou Chunrong peeked at Xia Meng and said: "Director Wang has something to do and went to the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency. ”

Shen Chong sighed and said, "Section Chief Zhou, you guys are so uninteresting, you didn't notify me in advance when you came to Hong Kong, why, look down on me?" ”

"Where, where." Zhou Chunrong rubbed his hands and hurriedly explained: "We are here to make a public visit, and Mr. Shen is busy with many things, so it is not easy to disturb."

"You ask Sister Xia Meng, see if I'm idle every day and have nothing to do?" Shen Chong smiled and said enthusiastically: "That's it, when you finish your business, call me, I'll pick you up, and go out for a walk by the way, although Hong Kong is not as majestic as Beijing, but the sea view is still worth seeing." ”

Xia Meng was on the side, seeing that Shen Chong was young, but what he said was old-fashioned, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, Section Chief Zhou, you have come from afar, and when you arrive in Hong Kong, you should also let Mr. Shen do his best to be a landlord, he can't eat poorly." ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, this ......"

Under Xia Meng's aura, Zhou Chunrong was at a loss and was a little incoherent.

Fortunately, at this time, other people on the set saw the arrival of Shen Chong and Xia Meng, and came over to say hello and resolve his embarrassment.

Shen Chong is in Beijing, traveling east and west, making friends everywhere, and many mainland filmmakers are familiar with each other, and he knows at least half of the members of the WÈN troupe during this visit......

In fact, the delegation was made up of two teams, one of which was the staff of various departments of the Film Bureau, who really came to Hong Kong for inspection, and the other part was from the Beijing Film Studio and Bayi Film Studio.

Shen Chong's donation this time is pauavI's camera, and pauavI's business strategy is to only rent and not sell, so if it is a donation, in fact, it only needs to provide a guarantee and rent.

Deng Gong's visit to the United States, especially after the counterattack war against Vietnam, the relations between the two countries heated up sharply, and major American companies were eyeing the mainland market, and pauavI was no exception.

These six machines, if they are replaced with the same grade products of Alai Company, are worth more than 5oo US dollars, and if they are rented, the total rent for ten years is only more than 1oo US dollars, Shen Chong's current family is not rich enough, and it is a bit painful to take 5oo US dollars at once, and if you pay more than 1oo for ten years, it will be drizzling......

The head of the delegation is a deputy director of the Film Bureau, although the level is high, Shen Chong doesn't care much, the Film Bureau is directly managed by the Ministry of Culture, the deputy director is basically soy sauce, and he doesn't have much right to speak, what he attaches the most importance to is Wang Yang, the director of the Beijing Film Studio.

Wang Yang has been the director of the factory for many years, and has grown Beijing Film Studio from scratch, from small to large, and has become the largest factory in the mainland.

At the beginning of 79, he wrote a letter to the Secretariat of the Central Committee, openly questioning the film policy of unified purchase and sales, which caused great repercussions, so Shen Chong regarded him as a natural ally.

This is also the reason why Wang Yang personally came to receive the photographic equipment -- he was bewitched by Shen Chong and wanted to come to Hong Kong to inspect the film market and the account-sharing system, otherwise, with his position and status, how could he come to Hong Kong with white hair and thousands of miles away, you must know that even a young man like Shen Chong could not afford to eat the green train in 1979.

Note: Zhang Xinyan said in an interview that Xia Mengkai's film company was funded by Huo Yingdong's donation, and she returned the money to Huo before closing the film company.
