"I didn't expect Yan Hao to be young and have a lot of experience." After Yan Hao left, Shu Ming shook his head and exclaimed: "Fourteen or fifteen years old dared to pick up a train to Xinjiang, and his courage was not ordinary. ”

"This kid is a Red Guard." Luo Weiming said: "Put pineapples, rehearse quotation songs, dance loyal word dances, and dare to perform ...... on the streets" (Note 1)

Before he could finish speaking, he laughed and continued: "Looking at the way he looks now, it's really hard to imagine what it was like at that time. ”

Yan Hao is very thin now, wears big-framed glasses, and looks like an honest child who is immersed in studying.

Shen Chong also smiled, but he was surprised by Yan Hao's life experience in his heart.

When he was a child, Shen Chong's family had a set of incomplete "Jinling Spring Dream", published in 1958, and the words "Internal Line" on the cover, telling the story of Chiang Kai-shek.

After going to university, he happened to think of this book, and after checking it on the Internet, he learned that "Jinling Spring Dream" has an extraordinary origin, the author is Tang Ren, and is the editor of the Hong Kong leftist newspaper "Ta Kung Pao", and this book is the first Hong Kong and Taiwan novel published in the mainland, and it is also the only one for a long time, so it has been widely circulated and has a great influence.

Unexpectedly, this Tang man was Yan Hao's father, and according to Yan Hao, his father was specially invited to Beijing in 1959 to participate in the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was elected as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference last year, so he is an authentic red second generation, and there is no obstacle to going to the mainland.

This unexpected information made Shen Chong overjoyed, and he was more confident in filming "The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea".

That's right, he plans to let Xu Anhua and Yan Hao work together to co-direct this movie.

Shen Chong is ambitious, he wants to use the legendary character of Nanhai Shisanlang as the main line, organically combine personal joys and sorrows with the turbulent background of the times, and make a palace-level movie.

Xu Anhua is delicate, good at dealing with the feelings of the characters in the movie, Yan Hao is strong, good at creating a movie atmosphere with a sense of history and era, the two are friends and have worked together, which can be described as a perfect match.

Because Yan Hao is currently busy with the post-production of "Night Train", and the preparation of "The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" is very long, Shen Chong has not mentioned this stubble.

Today he threw himself into the net, of course Shen Chong couldn't let it go, and immediately agreed to arrange for him to do chores for Akira Kurosawa, and then took the opportunity to propose a cooperative shooting.

Yan Hao wants to learn shooting skills from Akira Kurosawa, there are not too many obstacles, Golden Harvest attaches great importance to the movie "Night Train", not only specially invited the popular female singer Chen Meiling in Japan to sing the theme song, but also arranged the recording, editing and printing in Japan, he can go to the set of "Shadow Warrior" to watch and learn while doing post-production, but it will be very hard.

Shen Chong was thinking about it, Shu Ming opened his mouth, and he asked excitedly: "Mr. Shen, is the next issue of our magazine going to interview Kurosawa Akira?" ”

"Shen invested in Akira Kurosawa's new film, and this is film news." Luo Weiming grabbed the conversation and said: "So if you want to interview, we will also interview, Mr. Shen said that "Film Times" is mainly based on consulting information in the film industry, right, Mr. Shen? ”

"Lao Luo, your festival has fallen to the ground." Shen Chong laughed and said; "I usually call me Boss Shen, but when you beg me, you just take a bite of Mr. Shen?"

"It's the same, it's the same, it's the same thing." Luo Weiming was thick-skinned, he smoked a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Say, Mr. Shen, when will you send me to interview?" ”

"You ......" Shu Ming is a good old man, not good at arguing with words, his face is red in a hurry, but he doesn't say anything.

"Okay, don't fight, there's a chance." Shen Chong smiled and said: "The next issue of "First Film Review" will use Akira Kurosawa as the cover, and as for "Film Times", I will wait for the film to finish filming next year, and then go to the interview." ”

"It's not fair!" Luo Weiming called Tianqu, threw away the cigarette butts, and said: "Our magazine sells ten times more than "First Film Review", why wait until next year? ”

"Big guy, Akira Kurosawa's stinky and hard temper, who in the world doesn't know!" Shen Chong complained bitterly and said: "I only invested one-third, and I am not the ultimate boss, it is not easy to get two interview opportunities, who made us "Film Times" instead of "Time" magazine." ”

"Let's go interview first." Luo Weiming was excited and said: "Brother Shu Ming is a tepid temper, don't worry, let him go to the interview next year." ”

"Who says I'm not in a hurry?" Shu Ming said, stood up and said, "I'll buy a ticket to Tokyo now." ”

"Don't worry, everyone." Shen Chong stroked his forehead with his hand, he still underestimated Kurosawa's status in the hearts of die-hard fans, "Kurosawa is not the bride at the wedding, what are you in such a hurry to chase?" ”

Shu Ming smiled and sat down again.

Shen Chong adjusted his sitting posture and asked, "Editor-in-chief Shu, are you familiar with Japan?" ”

"Of course he knows." Luo Weiming said angrily: "Brother Shu Ming has lived in Japan for several years and is a fake Oriental devil. ”

"I went to school in Tokyo for a few years." Shu Ming ignored Luo Weiming and said with a smile: "I'm quite familiar with Japan." ”

"Are you interested in being based in Japan?"

"What does Mr. Shen mean?"

"Kurosawa's film is probably going to be made tomorrow in April or May, and I need a central point of contact." Shen Chong played with the pen and said: "And Japan is the leading town of Asian films, it is necessary for the magazine to open an office there, if the editor-in-chief Shu is interested, I would like to send you to Japan as the manager of the office." ”

Shu Ming immediately nodded and said, "I'm willing to go." ”

"Okay." Shen Chong was overjoyed, although Shu Ming was not efficient, but he was thoughtful, he was safe, he was not young, and he had no ambitions, so he was the most suitable as a representative of Japan abroad, and said: "In terms of salary, I will not be disadvantaged, and the accommodation in Japan will be reimbursed by the company." ”

"Brother Shu, congratulations, you have been promoted and rich." Luo Weiming held a cigarette, saluted so-so, congratulated two sentences, and then said meaningfully; "Mr. Shen, since Brother Shu has become the resident manager in Japan, it's time for "First Film Review" to change the editor-in-chief, right?"

"You're not playing." Shen Chong waved his hand and directly vetoed Luo Weiming's attempt, this guy has run "Film Times" vigorously, he is a great talent, how can he be transferred to manage "First Film Review" at this time, "Editor-in-chief Shu, Rover went to the mainland and can't come back for the time being, you recommend someone to take over the position of editor-in-chief." ”

"Choose from inside the magazine, or from the outside?"

"It's okay, as long as you think it's appropriate."

"Inside the magazine, I think Zhuo Botang is very good, he is very familiar with the films of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he has a wealth of theoretical knowledge." Shu Ming said: "If you are outside the magazine, I recommend Lin Niantong. ”

"Lin Niantong is good." Luo Weiming nodded and said: "He had a lot of ideas for organizing the establishment of the 'China Film Society' back then, and he also made film magazines and had experience. ”

"This kind of talent." Shen Chong was puzzled: "When the magazine was reorganized at that time, why didn't you recommend it to me?" ”

"He wasn't in Hong Kong at the time." Shu Ming explained: "Lin Niantong is very bold, at the end of last year, he secretly went to Shanghai to collect information on early Chinese films, and only came back some time ago. ”

Is there still such a talent in Hong Kong's film culture circle?

Shen Chong was very surprised, but this kind of move was very much in line with his taste, and it added a lot of points, so he made a decision in an instant and said: "Then invite Lin Niantong over to be the editor-in-chief, and let Zhuo Botang be the deputy editor-in-chief." ”

Shen Chong stayed in the United States and Japan for seven or eight days, accumulating a lot of affairs that needed him to make decisions, and finally solved the affairs of the magazine.

"Mr. Shen, this is the last two weeks, I have come to our company to look for investment in film projects." Zeng Lizhen handed a text clip to Shen Chong and said, "I screened it and preliminarily identified a few more innovative projects. ”

Shen Chong took it, and his eyes lit up immediately, it was really a happy event, and he saw two familiar names on the first page - Yu Yunkang and Weng Weiquan.

Yu Yunkang's "Murder List", known as Hong Kong's most terrifying horror film, is a classic film in the New Wave.

Weng Weiquan's "Rules of Conduct" is a semi-documentary police film, which is a rare work of the New Wave.

After reading the outline of the script, it felt similar to the plot of the movie in his memory, so Shen Chong picked up the pen and drew a circle on the project with the names of the two of them.

Turning to the second page, Shen Chong couldn't help but laugh - Wang Jing actually appeared again.

"Wang Jing went to block the door of your house again?"

"No, this time I came to the company in a proper manner." Zeng Lizhen pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "He took a script chasing girls, I think it's quite funny, there should be a market, so I stayed." ”

Wang Jing's penchant for gambling and sex is famous, and his high yield is also famous, Shen Chong thought about it, didn't read the outline of the script, and directly drew a circle on his name.

Flipping down further, Shen Chongxian Zeng Lizhen also recorded the projects that were not reviewed by Guò, and gave reasons for vetoing, the reasons were very sufficient, and I couldn't help but appreciate her more.

After reading it, Shen Chong returned the text to Zeng Lizhen and said: "Yu Yunkang and Weng Weiquan's projects, you let them do the preparatory work first, and then start work after I come back from the mainland, Wang Jing's one, you go to be the producer, you are fully responsible, I don't interfere, you can start filming at any time." ”

"Really?" Zeng Lizhen was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen." ”

"If you want to thank you, Wang Jing will thank you." Shen Chong said with a smile: "You are the manager of the production department, and it is natural to be a producer, thank me for what to do." ”

"I'm Mr. Xie Shen who gave me this opportunity to command Wang Xiaopang." Zeng Lizhen smiled and said: "I used to be an assistant choreographer in TVB, and I was often teased by him, and feng shui took turns, but now it's my turn to bully him." ”

"Then you can torture him well." Shen Chong was happy to see it and said: "I'll give you a budget of 1oo yuan first, you take care of it, if the movie sells well, I will give you dividends." ”

Note 1: Pineapples are homemade bombs, and during the "June 7" period in Hong Kong, many leftists placed such things on the streets, which caused a very bad impact. According to Yan Hao's interview, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and the bomb he made was actually filled with soil in an iron box, pretending to be a bomb to scare people.
