After more than a month of preparation, the Taiwan edition of "Film Times" launched its inaugural issue in mid-July.

In the inaugural issue, Qiu Gangjian re-edited and revised some of Shen Chong's remarks on the "New Wave of Hong Kong Films" as publication slogans, vigorously advocating that Taiwanese films should learn from Hong Kong and innovate and change.

Coincidentally, in July, "Crazy Robbery" broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies and reached 6 Taiwan, which set off a lot of waves between ordinary audiences and professional filmmakers.

Whether it is Hong Kong or Taipei, it is not a particularly big place, and the film industry in this era is not big.

So Shen Chong is in Taipei, it is difficult to keep a low profile, in the few days he spent in Taipei, except for watching a movie with Zhang Aijia, he spent every night in a staggered manner, one banquet after another, quite a bit of Run Run Shaw's style of opening a flowing water banquet, and met a large number of Taiwanese filmmakers.

Ono, Wu Nianzhen, Hou Xiaoxian...... In addition to Yang Dechang, who is still doing programming in Seattle, Shen Chong knows most of the backbone talents of Taiwan's future film industry.

And Li Xing, Bai Jingrui, Song Cunshou and other successful filmmakers of the previous generation, Shen Chong also got acquainted with a lot.

Among these people, the heaviest is Ming Ji introduced by Wei Jingmeng.

Ming Ji retired with the rank of major general, and in 1978 he became the general manager of Taiwan's Central Film Industry Co., Ltd., and his status in Taiwan's film industry is similar to that of later Han boss in the mainland.

China Film Company, together with China Television Corporation and China Broadcasting Corporation, known as the "Three Chinas", are all media organizations run by the Kuomintang, and China Film is known for having a complete vertically integrated film system, from production, studio, printing, recording, editing, production to performance agencies.

Oriental Charm Taiwan Branch only does production business, photographic equipment and post-production, all from China Film Rental, get to know Mingji, which is obviously very beneficial to the company's exhibition.

Besides, Mingji is also worth befriending.

During his tenure at China Film, he first promoted Ono and Wu Nianzhen to film planning, and then vigorously supported new directors such as Yang Dechang, Ke Yizheng, and Wan Ren, creating a new atmosphere for Taiwanese films, so he was called the "father of Taiwan's new films" and won the Golden Horse Award for Lifetime Achievement.

Although Shen Chong has recently become popular and has a reputation in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he is a small person who has only produced one movie, if it weren't for Wei Jingmeng to build a bridge from it, he wouldn't have been able to get into Mingji's eyes at all.

I don't know if it was because of the personal introduction of the former "Information Bureau", or because Ming Ji was extremely dissatisfied with the status quo of Taiwanese films, at the banquet that night, he was very enthusiastic, and Yin Yin invited Shen Chong to cooperate with China Film Company to shoot several innovative movies together.

Shen Chong was afraid of this invitation.

Friendship with Mingji can be said to be a personal relationship, but if you cooperate with China Film Company, it will be a bit over-the-top.

After the trip to Huangshan, most of his energy was devoted to developing the mainland film market, and if he had something to do with the China Film Company, which had a strong Kuomintang background, it was difficult to say whether there was any political risk.

Taiwan and the mainland are put together, just like the name of a movie produced by China Film Company last year -- "A Boat in the Ocean".

Shen Chong did not want to take any risks related to the mainland, nor could he afford them.

So even though Zhang Aijia repeatedly made eyes, he still made a false accusation and did not have a word of accuracy.

After the banquet, Wei Jingmeng and Mingji had special drivers to pick them up, so naturally they didn't have to work for Shen Chong to arrange it.

"Why didn't you agree to cooperate with China Film?" After the two left, Zhang Aijia was half unhappy, half puzzled, she crossed her arms, stood at the door of the Yuanshan Hotel, and said: "Manager Ming's face, you don't give it, how will our company mix in Taipei in the future?" ”

Shen Chong snorted and said, "I can't get along in Taipei, so you can go back to Hong Kong, and I'll support you." ”

"Let's get down to business!"

"Standing in front of the hotel and talking about business, it's hot and noisy." Shen Chong touched his head, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to my room, it's clean and quiet, let's get down to business." ”

"No, no." Zhang Aijia's big black and white eyes turned and said, "Who knows what the hell you have to do." ”

"I'm Megumi Yanagishita, an absolute righteous gentleman." Shen Chong spread his hands and shouted, "Why do everyone treat me as a pervert!" ”

"Eating in the bowl, looking at the pot, isn't it a pervert?"

"What man doesn't want to have three wives and four concubines." Shen Chong smiled shyly: "If you don't want three wives and four concubines, you are not a good man." ”

Zhang Aijia snorted, she twitched her head, and said, "I haven't been to the chanson room for a long time, why don't we go there for a walk?" ”

"Listen to me." Shen Chong made a gesture of invitation and said, "Anyway, if you drive, even if you go to the ends of the earth, I will accompany you." ”

……

The chanson room was the café that Shen Chong took him to when he first came to Taipei, where he met Tao Xiaoqing and the Duan brothers, and then invested in Rolling Stone Records.

Among Shen Chong's three branches in Taipei, Rolling Stone Records was the first to be established, but it was also the one he paid the least attention to, and he had been in Taipei for a few days, and he had never even been to the door of Rolling Stone.

First, Shen Chong's main energy is on movies, and at present, in the entire Chinese film industry, the combination of film and music is not enough.

All aspects of the Hong Kong film industry need to be improved, and the soundtrack is not the highest priority, after all, there is not even a stereo theater in Hong Kong and Taiwan......

Second, the people who came to Rolling Stone Records are all well-known successful people in the history of Taiwanese pop music, and their business ability is undoubted, so Shen Chong is too lazy to worry about it.

Chang Aijia is one of the shareholders of the Chanson Room, and she has lived here for nearly a year, during which time she has often held various music events, and has successfully managed it as one of the designated venues for musicians in Taipei.

Although there was no activity this night, there were many musicians who came to drink coffee, including Tao Xiaoqing, from her mouth, Shen Chong learned about the recent situation of Rolling Stone Records, and couldn't help but be very surprised.

As the old saying goes: it is easy to share hardships and hardships, but it is difficult to share wealth and wealth.

Out of trust in the foursome, Shen Chong invested a lot and boldly, and as a result, the inaugural issue of the Taiwan version of "Film Times", which was several months later than Rolling Stone, came out, and Rolling Stone's entrepreneurial work has been difficult to give birth to, and it is said that the differences between the foursome have reached the point where it is difficult to make up.

"Shen Gongzi, I really admire you." Tao Xiaoqing didn't know the purpose of Shen Chong's coming to Taipei, she held a coffee cup and said: "I heard that you invested tens of millions of dollars in Rolling Stone, and they have been fighting for more than two months, you actually came to Taipei now, aren't you afraid of investing in waste?" ”

"Investment is mainly about people, as long as the right person is selected, the money will naturally roll in." Shen Chong smiled and said: "Talents are rare, it is normal to have disagreements, and they are easy to solve." ”

"Luo Dayou told me that Lao Duan and Wu Chuchu were quite stiff, and the two of them were still arguing in public in the company." Zhang Aijia was also a little worried, she looked at Shen Chong and asked, "How are you going to solve this matter?" ”

"It's very simple, brothers will break up if they don't get along, let alone friends." Shen Chong used a coffee spoon to lightly scratch on the table and said, "Since there is a dispute, let Wu Chuchu go out, and open another company, let's fight to see who is right." ”

"You're going to kick Wu Chuchu out?" Tao Xiaoqing put down the coffee cup and sighed: "Wu Chuchu sings well and is very capable, he is leaving, Peng Guohua must also leave, and the Duan brothers don't know how to make music, so that the shelf that Rolling Stone has just erected will collapse more than half, and it is better to close the door." ”

"Sister Qing misunderstood." Shen Chong took two sugar cubes and gestured: "This is the Rolling Stone, this is Wu Chuchu's new company, and I, this is this cup of coffee, they do the music they want to make, and I, provide a qiē infrastructure and conditions." ”

"Shen Gongzi's pattern is really big, he spends money like dirt, he dares to play like this." Tao Xiaoqing understood what Shen Chong meant, his eyes flashed, and he sighed: "No wonder my little sister will take a fancy to you." ”

"What did Sister Qing say?" Zhang Aijia lowered her head and stirred the coffee, and said, "Where did I take a fancy to him." ”

"Sister Qing is a wise man, and her eyes are like torches." Shen Chong laughed, hit the snake with the stick, and said casually: "Jiajia has a thin face, I'm embarrassed to admit it, you don't care about her." ”

"Nonsense, what Jiajia Shasha." Zhang Aijia's face was slightly red, and she glared at Shen Chong fiercely, and quickly explained: "Sister Qing, don't listen to his nonsense, he is the best at talking." ”

"I don't have anything to do with your little lovers." Tao Xiaoqing smiled ambiguously and said, "But you two are both talented and beautiful, a pair of beautiful people, I am very optimistic." ”

"I'll go to the bar and have a look." Zhang Aijia was slightly flustered, stood up and walked away.

Note 1: According to Zhang Aijia's own statement, before the mid-8o, her friends called her little sister, and Luo Dayou wrote the song "Little Sister" for her.
