Picking Taiwan to hang alone overseas has always been an inseparable part of the Chinese nation, and with the plane slowly landing at Taipei Airport, Wang Zichuan finally set foot on the territory of Taiwan.

In the 80s, Taiwan's film industry was affected by the general climate and was on the verge of collapse. The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1978 was the heaviest blow to the authorities. The island's indigenization and democratization movements have also grown, powerfully shaking the decades-long authoritarian system. In order to cope with internal and external troubles, the authorities have stepped up propaganda work.

The Central Film Company, the Taiwan Provincial Film Studio, and the "China Film Studio", the three major public-owned film organizations, were instructed to produce a large number of "political propaganda films" and "military instruction films" in order to boost the morale of the people. In particular, "blockbusters" such as "Xinhai Double Ten", "Heroes of the Great Lake" and "The Eve of the War", which have an investment of tens of millions of dollars, have suffered huge losses, so much so that they have dragged down the production units.

In the early 80s, the three major public film organizations almost reached the point where they could make one film and lose the other, and finally had to come forward by the "superiors" to strictly limit the number of films produced by the three companies. At the same time, Taiwan's economy has achieved the miracle of "taking off" in the midst of difficulties, leaping forward to the "Asian Tigers," and the people's material life has greatly improved, becoming more pragmatic and rational. In the past, the love literary movies that "made dreams" were no longer in the limelight.

As soon as Wang Zichuan left the airport, he was stopped by a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.

"Sir, where are you going? Do you need to take a car? ”

"No, I want to take a walk!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Sir, you look like you're from Hong Kong, I didn't expect your Chinese to speak so well!" ”

Wang Zichuan also felt that Mandarin was kind, and couldn't help but chat with the taxi driver a few more words.

"Can this be heard? Oh, don't hide it from you, my Chinese is better than Cantonese! ”

The middle-aged man said: "You can speak Chinese, you are mixed up in Taiwan, you are a business person, or the first time to come to Taiwan!" ”

"Big brother has good eyesight!" Wang Zichuan couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

The middle-aged man said, "Haha...... It's hard to guess what's going on, you're looking around at the exit of the airport by yourself, and it doesn't look like someone is coming to pick you up, so I guess you must be thinking of somewhere to rest! ”

Wang Zichuan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Big brother, you are wronged by driving a taxi, I think you should go to be a soldier!" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't hide it from this gentleman, I was a soldier, and I just ...... this year Recovery, driving a taxi is also for living, I have a wife and children at home, and I drove a car for the leader in the army. ”

Wang Zichuan said: "Then I have to enjoy the treatment of a leader." ”

The middle-aged man said excitedly: "Sir, please get in the car!" ”

The car started and the middle-aged man asked, "Sir, where are you going?" ”

"Is there anything good to go in Taipei, I want a quieter place."

"Then go to the Cathay Pacific Hotel, which is quiet and elegant, and where rich people go to stay."

"yes, okay!" Wang Zichuan saw that his driving skills were very good, and couldn't help asking: "Big brother, you just said that you are driving for the leader, why do you do this?" ”

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and then said astringently: "I made a mistake in the army and was fired." ”

"Oh, I see!" Wang Zichuan no longer inquired about it, and it seems that this eldest brother is also a person with a story.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Actually, it's not like that, where is there no corruption now?" I don't want to be part of it, and if I hadn't done something abroad, I wouldn't have just been fired. ”

Wang Zichuan was surprised: "You have also made meritorious contributions abroad!" ”

This is not a trivial matter, those who carry out missions abroad are generally spies, or the top kind, but I didn't expect that there are such characters in small Taiwan.

The middle-aged man sighed: "It's all in the past, I only knew how to work for the party and the state before, but in the end it ended up like this, it's really chilling." ”

When it comes to these political questions, Wang Zichuan can't answer them, and he may not be taken away by the authorities because of a word.

Wang Zichuan changed the topic, took out a business card and handed it to the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Big brother, what's your name?" Here's my business card! ”

The middle-aged man took the business card, smiled bitterly, and replied: "My name is Li Guoqiang, from Taipei, if you encounter any trouble, just come to me!" ”

"Big brother is strict, what trouble can I encounter as a businessman?"

Li Guoqiang felt that Wang Zichuan was okay, and he also gave Wang Zichuan a business card and persuaded: "Little brother, don't be careless, the underworld in Taiwan is even more rampant than in Hong Kong, and these gangsters will find trouble with you foreign businessmen the most." ”

"Brother Li, don't worry, I'll pay attention." Wang Zichuan took the business card and put it in his pocket indifferently.

"Brother, it's here!" Li Guoqiang pointed to the building in front of him and introduced: "That's the Cathay Hotel." ”

"Brother Li, this is the car money, let's meet again!"

Wang Zichuan picked up his luggage, went to the hotel and opened a room, did nothing, lay on the bed and fell asleep, and did not wake up until the next morning.

After breakfast in the restaurant, Wang Zichuan took out the travel arrangements for this trip.

First thing: contact Taiwanese theater dealers to discuss the introduction of film distribution.

The first thing: expand business, establish a cooperative relationship with Taiwanese film companies, and in the future, Tengfei Entertainment can borrow each other's venues and props to make movies in Taiwan.

The third thing: investigate the context of Taiwanese films, how to open the Taiwan market and recruit all kinds of talents.

These three things are Wang Zichuan's main task this time, take out the phone book, and broadcast a series of numbers on the phone.

"Hey!"

Soon, a hearty voice came from the microphone.

"Hey, who are you?"

Wang Zichuan said: "Are you Ke Zhiliang?" I'm Wang Zichuan! ”

Ke Zhiliang smiled: "Mr. Wang! You've arrived in Taiwan, and I want to pick you up! ”

"Arrived yesterday afternoon!" Wang Zichuan briefly explained and asked: "Do you have any acquaintances in the Taiwanese film industry, I am not familiar with life here, and it is difficult to open up the situation." ”

"Yes! Yes! Mr. Wang, don't worry, I've got in touch here, just waiting for you to come over! Ke Zhiliang smiled: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, I'll go over now, you give me the address, I'll go to you!" ”

Wang Zichuan told the detailed address and room number of the Cathay Pacific Hotel, and finally advised: "Be careful on the road, I see that there are quite a lot of vehicles in Taiwan!" ”

"Mr. Wang is relieved, he can hit my car, and he hasn't built it yet!"

Wang Zichuan put down the phone and smiled with relief, this Ke Zhiliang is usually very aggressive, but he didn't expect that he could be reliable at the critical moment, listening to the meaning of his words, he didn't do anything during the New Year's holiday, just took care of the tasks assigned by the company.

Wang Zichuan wanted to let Ke Zhiliang do things at the beginning, and the other party responded,

"Mr. Wang is relieved! Since I Ke Yuliang joined the company, I must regard the company as my own home, and serve the company wholeheartedly, what you tell is the order of the elders in the family, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely complete him"

"What a good employee of the company!" Wang Zichuan was impressed by this five big and three rough Ke Zhiliang.
