Chapter 217: How Big Is The Heart, How Big Is The Stage (6)
The lights in the hall dimmed again, and the screen appeared like a glimpse of Hong Kong's most beautiful and prosperous side.
In the sound of music, Rong Shao, who was wearing a white dress, and Sister Mei, who was wearing a dark red cheongsam, held hands and walked on the stage and sang slowly: "The small river bends to the south and flows to the Xiangjiang River to have a look."
Pearl of the Orient My love, is your style still romantic?
The harbor of the moon is crooked, the night is deep and the lights are shining, and the Pearl of the Orient has not slept all night,
Guarding the sea, the promise of Sangtian's change.
Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years,
Every teardrop, as if speaking of your dignity.
Let the tide be with me to bless you,
Please don't forget me, never change your yellow face.
The boat bent into the harbor and looked back at the vast sea.
The Pearl of the Orient embraces me,
Let me warm your cold chest.
Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years,
Every teardrop, as if speaking of your dignity.
Let the tide be with me to bless you,
Please don't forget me, never change your yellow face.
Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years,
Every teardrop, as if speaking of your dignity.
Let the tide be with me to bless you,
Please don't forget me, never change your yellow face.
Please don't forget me, never change your yellow face. ”
The romantic and far-reaching song of the tune fell, and the guests in the audience hugged warm applause. This song "Pearl of the Orient" is different from the talented man in Taiwan the year before last, there is no worry about the future of Hong Kong, nor is there the sadness in the TVB version, which shows the love and attachment of Hong Kong people to their hometown.
The peerless Sister Mei led the chic and handsome Rong Shao, bowed slightly to the guests in the audience, and said with a smile: "The first time we met Ziming, it was in his Yau Ma Tei apartment, vest, sports shorts, and even slippers. I still remember that in order to ask him to write songs for us, the two of us listened to Wang Jing's bad boy's suggestion and brought a bunch of abalone and shark fin as a gift. As a result, he and Juanzi didn't know those things at all, and it was all Wang Fatzi who lied to us in order to have a good meal for himself! ”
The audience laughed loudly, Wang Jing does have this problem, and often takes pleasure in pranking friends. Wang Fatzi was not embarrassed, and laughed with Ha Lu Ha Da Lu, as if he was not talking about himself.
Rong Shao also sighed: "I really didn't expect that in just one year, the original little brother and little sister have become big directors and big singers. Ziming, Ajuan, you two are the most talented young people I have ever met, don't live up to the gift that God has given you, work hard! ”
In the applause, Rong Shao continued to smile: "Today is the anniversary celebration of Light and Shadow Company, I wish you all the best to realize your dream of the film kingdom as soon as possible!" Next, I would like to invite Uncle Zeng to give a speech. ”
In the applause, Uncle Zeng, who was sitting in the second seat with Pan Disheng and Mai Jia, got up and walked to the chief first to give the sixth uncle and Aunt Fang a deep bow. The relationship between Uncle Zeng and these two people is known to everyone in the circle, and this kind of grateful character makes everyone's applause more and more enthusiastic. Sixth Uncle and Aunt Fang also got up and hugged Uncle Zeng. For the sixth uncle, children are just the continuation of his bloodline, but Ah Xiang is the continuation of his ideals and career.
In the applause, Uncle Zeng also bowed and thanked the guests and began to speak. After delivering a modest thank-you speech, Uncle Zeng smiled: "How great the ability is, how great the responsibility." We can't compare to the strength of the sixth uncle, so we can only do our best. On behalf of the board of directors of the company, I would like to announce: 1. From 1988 to 1989, our company will continue to sponsor 100 behind-the-scenes technical personnel from the mainland to come to Hong Kong for study and exchange. 2. Donate 5 million Hong Kong dollars to the 'Sophie Children's Foundation' for children's education in Xiangxi. 3. Donated 500 Hong Kong dollars worth of film to Peking Film Academy and Shanghai Film Academy for students' film experiments. ”
There was warm applause from the audience, and everyone was amazed by the generosity of the light and shadow company, and they were also enthusiastic about the light and shadow company.
Last year, "Home Alone" and "Ah Lang's Story", which were released by Light and Shadow Company in the mainland, won nearly 80 million box office. Although public information said that the light and shadow company only got less than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in box office sharing, it was a pure profit! The economy of the mainland has begun to develop rapidly, and the neighboring city of Shenzhen has simply changed in January, and it is jealous to think about how much benefit the light and shadow company will get in the mainland in the future.
"This year, our company will go to the United States to try to explore new markets, and the first film "Alonehome" has been released in North American school theaters. The second film will be cooperated with Golden Harvest, and I would like to invite Mr. Zou Wenhuai to announce our decision to jointly develop the North American market. ”
(In the end, Yongsheng Company was unable to scrape together the funds, and the reserved 30% investment was borne by Light and Shadow Studio and Cheng Long's Weihe Pictures.) )
Zou Wenhuai discussed a few words with He Guanchang and Liang Feng at the adjacent table in a low voice, and walked on the stage with a smile.
"I announce that on July 15, Golden Harvest, Light and Shadow Company, Light and Shadow Studio, and Weihe Company cooperated with "Rush Hour" was officially launched, with a total investment of 16 million US dollars."
The bosses in the audience applauded with a heavy heart, congratulations, the first 100 million yuan production in the history of Hong Kong films is about to be born, and everyone is worried about their company. Movies are like gambling, before they are released, only God knows whether they win or lose!
Now that Light and Shadow and Golden Harvest are raising production costs step by step and improving production standards, what should other film companies do? Not every company is like light and shadow, making a big sale, and not all of them are like Golden Harvest, and the family can afford a big loss! What's even more terrifying is that once the audience is used to watching big-budget movies with good quality, who will go to watch low-budget movies with rough production?
"Zeng Xiang was right just now, 'how great the ability is, how great the responsibility'! Now on behalf of Golden Harvest Company, I announce: 1. This year, Golden Harvest Company will sponsor 100 behind-the-scenes technical personnel from the mainland to come to Hong Kong for study and exchange. 2. In the next three years, Golden Harvest Company will donate 500 Hong Kong dollars worth of film to Peking Film Academy and Shanghai Film Academy for students' film experiments. Thank you! ”
The bosses in the audience were stunned for a long time before they remembered to applaud. Golden Harvest's donations come without warning, and they are not like light and shadow companies that can distribute films to the mainland. As shrewd as Pan Disheng, he watched Zou Wenhuai shake hands and hug Director Jiang of the office thoughtfully.
Gao Ying watched Uncle Zeng and Zou Wenhuai walk off the stage, and couldn't help but snicker in her heart. This afternoon, Brother Ming suddenly asked Uncle Zeng to announce that the company's funding and donation plan was planned. Everyone thinks it's inappropriate, only Wang Fatzi supports Brother Ming, saying that he will definitely be able to dig a piece of meat on Jiahe, but he didn't expect this piece of meat to be so big!
"No matter where we are or what passports we hold in our hands, they can't change our blood or our cultural heritage. Next, I would like to invite the mainland exchange students of the Light and Shadow Company to sing "Tianyao China" with Miss Hu Juan and Miss Su Rui. ”
The lights dimmed again amid the applause, and the big screen on the small stage began to rise slowly, revealing a larger stage. One hundred male and female exchange students were dressed in student uniforms from the Republic of China, and Hu Juan, who was born in the mainland, wore the same student uniforms and walked to the Taiwanese singer Su Rui, who was also dressed on the other side.
The screen in mid-air began to show the customs of the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, and the majestic chorus sounded 'Tianyao China, Tianyao China,
The wind and rain cannot be crushed, and the flowers bloom in the suffering.
Sincerely pray, Tianyao China,
May you be safe and prosperous. ’
How lucky I am,
Born in your arms.
My veins flow,
Your magic and beauty.
The mercy of affection,
That warm memory,
Your kindness to me touches heaven and earth.
never gave up on you,
Because hope is buried in the bottom of my heart.
The courage to pursue freedom,
How many years have the clouds surged.
I didn't forget when I was happy,
Holding you up in pain,
My soul breathes with you.
Hu) Tianyao China, Tianyao China,
The wind and rain cannot be crushed, and the flowers bloom in the suffering.
Sincerely pray, the sky shines on China.
May you be safe and prosperous, and live forever,
You are me, I am you,
Your dignity, my honor.
Stepping on the rough road ahead,
Harmony for dreams.
……
He) Tianyao China, Tianyao China,
The auspicious clouds float in all directions, and the glory spreads to the world.
Sincerely pray, Tianyao China,
May you be safe and prosperous!
Sincerely pray, Tianyao China,
This is my deepest expression to you!
This majestic song twenty years later made the two powerful singers sing so peacefully. The free and spiritual song resounded in the hall, and everyone forgot all the political implications, as if they heard the voice of the motherland, the pulse of the earth, and saw the state of etiquette under the flow of songs.
Hong Kong's education is different from that of the mainland, and it does not deliberately promote the concept of home and country, but the blood ties are innate. In such an environment, everyone was moved to tears when they suddenly heard such a magnificent song, which deeply blended national emotions and spiritual feelings, exploration and cultural roots.
When the song fell, Hu Juan and Su Rui hugged each other tightly, and the exchange students in the background slowly bowed to the guests, and the thunderous applause sounded like waking up from a dream.
The affectionate harmony curled, the lights came back on, the big screen slowly lowered, and in the long-lasting applause, Wang Jing walked on the stage with a wine glass. I have seen the rehearsals of the exchange students, and the short films on the screen are all edited by myself, and I still can't help but burst into tears when I really see the complete performance.
The applause gradually stopped, Wang Jing wiped the moistness from the corners of his eyes, smiled embarrassedly, and laughed at himself: "For many years, I don't have the urge to cry." Recently, I enlarged my wife's belly and didn't want to get married, so I was beaten up by Lao Dou. ”
The audience laughed, this fat man got married as soon as he graduated from college, and his wife couldn't wear a wedding dress during the wedding, so he had to wear a wide traditional auspicious dress to hold the ceremony.
"When I was in college, I had a dream of becoming the most successful commercial director in Hong Kong and making a lot of money to become a rich man. This time last year, I teamed up with a kid who didn't have a few hairs on his mouth, and I made more than 10 million yuan a month, becoming the first multimillionaire in my class. That smug, when the boy got drunk, made fun of me and said, 'What kind of dream are you?' At most, it's the croaking of a frog in a well! ”
Someone in the audience began to applaud, and when the guests saw that it was Liu Jialing and Yuan Mei, Wang Fatzi didn't care and said: "It's nothing, at that time, Wei Qiang and Jia Shang were three frogs at the bottom of the well, Xiang Huaqiang, don't laugh, you brothers are similar!" ”
The audience laughed even more, the Xiang brothers were not as thick-skinned as Wang Jing, and their old faces were red and they drank to cover up.
"Okay, don't talk about your own troubles, otherwise my old bean will scold me again and don't set a good example for my daughter. Finally, please raise your glasses, for the beautiful tomorrow of Hong Kong movies, for the health of friends, for the development and prosperity of your career, cheers!! ”
"Cheers!"
Everyone stood up and toasted in celebration.
