Chapter 303: A Coincidental Encounter with the Crew of "Shaolin Temple"
Uncle Meng Qingguan and grandfather's secretary Zhou Zhong made a special trip from Yanjing to Shanghai to welcome Tang Huan.
I always heard from my wife that Tang Huan had undergone a lot of experience in the past few years, and his whole person had changed a lot. Meng Qingguan was extremely prepared in his heart.
But after the meeting, he still couldn't help being a little surprised. Just because of the condensed and steady manner of the other party, and the ease of talking and laughing, there is a huge distance between him and the boy back then.
If it weren't for the resemblance between his eyebrows and his secretary Zhou Zhong's greeting, Meng Qingguan would not have dared to recognize him.
In fact, Tang Huan is the nephew and grandson of his father-in-law, and his status has become special because he has received special favor, but if he continues to develop like this, he will not be able to get rid of the shadow of relying on the protection of the family.
Unexpectedly, after going out for a few years, he has already formed his own school.
Pressing the thoughts in his heart, Meng Qingguan held Tang Huan's hand, shook it vigorously a few times, and laughed loudly, "You're so young, now you're promising."
With his own family in front of him, Tang Huan felt very cordial, and chatted very casually.
After getting into the car, he waved his hand and said carelessly: "Tell me something quickly, so as not to forget later, my top priority now is to travel to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places."
"Aren't you staying in Shanghai to participate in economic exchange activities?" Zhou Zhong was taken aback for a moment, "I thought you were keeping a low profile, so you deliberately kept a secret."
Meng Qingguan glanced at Deng Lijun who was sitting quietly beside Tang Huan calmly. There were some things that the family knew better.
Moreover, his daughter is a small fan of Deng Lijun, forcing the husband and wife to bring some tapes, records and other things back every time they are free on business trips. They are already familiar with this singer.
What audacity, Meng Qingguan sighed in his heart, but also understood Tang Huan's real purpose of keeping a low profile.
"There is only one thing I want to ask you for, and that is to ask for money." Meng Qingguan laughed, and said unceremoniously: "Who made you so good at doing business, and you can use the money at ease."
"No problem." Tang Huan nodded generously, "First, you can use the renminbi in your domestic account. If it is not enough, I will transfer dollars in from outside."
At present, Fangyuan Computer's entire system is almost a unique business in the mainland, and it has accumulated a lot of profits.
If it is other foreign companies. He had already transferred it to US dollars and put it in his pocket, but Tang Huan didn't do that and left it in the mainland.
To put it grandly, the reborn want to do something practical for their compatriots and increase employment opportunities for ordinary people; it is a bit of a philistine. It is to use practical actions to show the mainland's high-level management the attitude of doing business, and to pursue long-term stable returns, not just speculation.
But the problem is that there are very few investment channels at this stage. Tang Huan, who knows that the current environment is still complicated, doesn't want to make a fuss with no effort, so the money can only lie in the account and wait for opportunities.
Now that Meng Qingguan and Zhou Zhong are here to attract investment, it means that there is an allowed channel, so let's spend it, anyway, it is basically an exclusive sale. As long as the management is in place, it is difficult to lose money.
And from a long-term perspective, it might be a kind of staking.
"Now there are more and more foreign exchanges,
The high-standard reception hotels serving as windows are in short supply. After the master saw this problem reported by Shanghai City, he hoped that you could build a hotel in Shanghai City like the investment in Zhongguancun. "Zhou Zhong said the request directly.
"This matter is easy to handle, and I already have experience." Tang Huan lifted his spirits, "It's just like the Zhongguancun side, which incidentally built an office building for my company. If there is a need in Yangcheng, it can be handled in the same way."
"Are you so rich and powerful now?" Meng Qingguan was dumbfounded when he heard it.
"Don't worry so much. You just need to spend money." Tang Huan snapped his fingers, "By the way, little uncle, you didn't come without a mission, right?"
"The construction of a hotel is ultimately an investment. But I came here purely to ask you for alms." Meng Qingguan smiled slightly and lowered his voice, "Isn't your brother-in-law working in a county where the finances are difficult and he can't do anything. Funds, he ran up and down very hard. Your aunt is distressed, so let me ask you for some donations behind your grandfather's back."
"It's also very simple. At worst, I will ask my uncle to buy a drink to express it." Speaking of this, Tang Huan couldn't help but look forward to it. Although there is a gap in seniority, my uncle is actually only a few years older than me. The time they spent together, I miss it very much now.
"Don't just talk about it." Zhou Zhong changed the subject and urged, "You are an expert in investment, and our vision is far inferior. If you have any investment ideas, you might as well say it and see if it is feasible. Space."
"My current industry consists of two major industries, computers and entertainment." Tang Huan pondered for a while, "Computers have basically stepped into the right track, and entertainment is still in communication. Xiangjiang's DreamWorks has a lot of expertise in TV dramas, At present, Zhou Mi has already negotiated with Nanyue TV Station. However, the contact with the film has not yet started."
"Shanghai City has quite a status in the film industry, and the exchange activities organized by the Shennong Foundation this time will include this field." Meng Qingguan asked casually.
Seeing Tang Huan nodding, Meng Qingguan chuckled, "In this case, then you should continue to use your rich man's housekeeping skills-spending money, and establish a relationship with sincerity first. Go and play with peace of mind, my boss and I In the past few days, Zhou will walk around Shanghai for you."
Tang Huan nodded slightly. The mainland has never stopped exploring the reform and opening up, and there is nothing unusual about special events. Therefore, his expectations are still very high.
...
In order not to cause accidents, Zhou Mi and Meng Qingguan carefully arranged for Tang Huan's entourage, and repeatedly told them to keep tight-lipped about the itinerary and be careful when taking pictures.
Regarding this, Tang Huan felt that they were too nervous, but he was careful not to make a big mistake, so he didn't speak out against it, and he didn't care about the extra expenditure.
The historical background and various landscapes of the south of the Yangtze River are well known to the world, and many places listed as key protection areas are preserved in their original flavor.
There is no industrial pollution after many years, no deliberately created crowds, and no imitation buildings that continue to linger...
Tang Huan, who originally planned to accompany Deng Lijun to find inspiration, unknowingly became intoxicated by the scenery of lakes and mountains he saw.
On this day, a group of people lingered in the Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake.
Listening to Tang Huan, who is well-informed, explaining with witty words, Deng Lijun, who has been open physically and mentally these days. He looked more and more energetic, and Gu Kong joked, "I see that you have changed your career to become a tour guide, and you are also very competent."
"If you hadn't tipped enough at night, I wouldn't have worked so hard." Tang Huan laughed in a low voice.
"I can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Deng Lijun was teased so that her cheeks became hot, and she quickly cast her gaze into the distance, and then said in surprise: "There seems to be a film crew over there."
"The scenery here is so beautiful, isn't it normal to have a crew come to film?" Tang Huan, who was lazy, replied indifferently. He was already thinking about whether it was possible to buy real estate here.
"I don't know what filming is like here? Go and see." Deng Lijun, who was curious, took Tang Huan's hand and shook it several times.
"It's really you. Under the influence of the beautiful scenery these days, you are almost rejuvenated." Tang Huan shook his head helplessly.
"Now you think I'm old." Deng Lijun gave Tang Huan a dissatisfied look.
"I'm talking about the state of mind." Tang Huan explained dumbfoundedly. The two-day tour gave him a desire to calm down and cultivate himself, but Deng Lijun, who has always been gentle and quiet, became lively instead. Get moving.
...
This crew is filming a costume drama. Several actors shaved their heads, dressed as monks, and watched props and martial arts scenes.
After a few glances, Tang Huan couldn't help raising his brows, and saw a familiar face. Although the other person was still very young, it should be Li Lianjie without a doubt.
Calculated according to the time, isn't this crew filming the movie "Shaolin Temple"? But the question is, why did they come to Hangzhou?
After contemplating for a moment. Tang Huan feels that this may have something to do with the shooting background of "Shaolin Temple".
Now the Shaolin Temple on the other side of Songshan Mountain should still be one meter high with barren grass and half of the statues collapsed. In order to show the great rivers and mountains, it is natural to choose another location for shooting.
After taking a few glances at the agile Li Lianjie, he looked at the others. Tang Huan was thoughtful.
Now that people have started work, would it be boring to take the initiative to raise money at this time? ,
But there is one thing that shouldn't be bad. Before the movie is released, try to poach people and make sure you don't lose money.
"Listen to the accents of some people. This crew should be from Xiangjiang." After realizing that it was not a local style, Deng Lijun immediately lost interest.
"Okay, don't disturb others, let's go elsewhere." Tang Huan smiled playfully, took Deng Lijun's hand, and left the scene.
...
Tang Huan couldn't help frowning when he heard the commission to find out the details of "Shaolin Temple".
It turned out that this film was made by Xiangjiang Leftist Film Company, but the key is that it was given a special mission.
As early as the beginning of 1979, at the meeting of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, Song Zhenhua, then manager of China Travel Agency in Henan Province, suggested to Liao Yiyuan, head of Xinlian Film Company, to go to Henan to shoot some documentaries and films for publicity. The tourism situation in Henan, and recommended the Shaolin Temple.
So at the beginning of 1980, Xinlian Film Company sent Liu Fang, Chen, Lin Bingkun, etc. to Zheng_zhou to prepare for the filming of the film "Shaolin Temple". The director chosen by the producers is Chen.
In accordance with Xiangjiang's habit of making Kung Fu movies, the full set of actors are selected from the Peking Opera Troupe of Henan Province.
Unfortunately, after spending 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, the sample produced could not satisfy the production company.
Liao Yiyuan made a report to Liao Chengzhi, who was in charge of Hong Kong and Macau affairs of the State Council, and instructed that the Chinese-funded film companies in Hong Kong should use this theme to fight for an economic and image turnaround, and use this to open up the Japanese martial arts film market.
For this reason, in 1981, "Central Plains Film Production Company" was jointly established by Xiangjiang "Great Wall Film Production Company" and "Xinlian Film Company" to shoot "Shaolin Temple", and Zhang Xinyan, a famous director of Great Wall Film Production Company, took over the filming. Directed "Shaolin Temple".
In other words, two versions of the movie "Shaolin Temple" were made. The first one was shot because it was not satisfied.
The crew that Tang Huan saw was shooting the second version. All the actors participating in the martial arts in the film were selected by Zhang Xinyan from professional martial arts athletes.
It is very difficult to make a move for such a registered movie.
However, the globalization and tourism benefits brought by "Shaolin Temple" after its release can only be described as immeasurable. Naturally speaking, if this general trend is well utilized, it will undoubtedly promote the influence of its own brand in the mainland.
"I've already contacted you to meet with famous people in the film industry. Many people's words are quite influential in the leadership and will definitely help your film layout in mainland China." Meng Qingguan, who came to deliver materials, met Tang Huan groaned for a moment, and then slowly opened his mouth, "How about I also find someone to contact the "Shaolin Temple" crew."
Tang Huan flipped through the documents and slowly formed a plan in his mind.
"Little uncle, haven't you always encouraged me to invest, but now I have an idea, let's see if it is feasible." Tang Huan, who had made up his mind, frowned.
"First of all, I plan to build a film and television base in Shanghai to provide convenience for everyone to film." Tang Huan counted his fingers, "Secondly, I am very optimistic about the movie "Shaolin Temple". Once it is released, it will definitely generate huge I am willing to invest in related aspects.”
Speaking of this, Tang Huan showed a tacit expression on his face, "This job should be easy to achieve political achievements. If someone is willing to take the lead, they can operate it."
"I haven't seen you in a few years. Your changes in all aspects are simply a qualitative leap." Meng Qingguan said with emotion, "The stakeholders you have calculated in this plan are not ordinary bold and careful."
"It's all from training in the mall, so don't worry about it too much, little uncle." Tang Huan laughed.
"The first Golden Rooster Awards are about to open." Tang Huan deliberately took out a page and shook it, "There is no award of a similar level in Xiangjiang."
Not the usual bold and careful. "
"It's all from training in the mall, so don't worry about it too much, little uncle." Tang Huan laughed.
"The first Film Golden Rooster Awards are about to open." Tang Huan deliberately took out a page and shook it, "There is no award of a similar level in Xiangjiang." (To be continued.) xh118
