Chapter 480 Music Expansion

Huang Lu represents a part of the group in Hong Kong.

They love the traditional culture of the Chinese nation and are proud of its glorious history. They hope to retain some fine traditions while absorbing advanced Western civilization - freedom and democracy.

Generally speaking, what they long for is an imaginary China.

Huang Lu didn't want to talk about political things with Chen Qi, so as not to ruin the scenery, but the ancestral home was different. The ancestral home was a big deal and her mother must know about it.

But Chen Qi stopped talking about this matter. The two of them drank wine and talked about "Beautiful Life"

On the screen, Huang Lu said: "Honestly speaking, your films are better than those of Hong Kong and Taiwan, they are creative and powerful.

The anti-Japanese resistance in "Orphans" is still full of ghosts and ghosts, but "Life is Beautiful" is aboveboard and the Japanese will not retaliate against you? "

"I have already retaliated. Dongho announced that it will no longer buy my films. It doesn't matter, I still have a bigger market." The United States? "

"We will visit the United States in a while and promote "Life is Beautiful" by the way. Oh, by the way, my news hasn't been announced yet. This film has already sold 7.85 million US dollars!"

"Ahem!"

Rao Shihuang was also shocked. At the current exchange rate, it was worth 50-60 million Hong Kong dollars!

"I have made a deal with 20th Century Fox and am preparing to compete for next year's Oscars."

Huang Lu was a little numb and sighed for a while: "I understand where your confidence comes from. Hong Kong is full of people who are just like fools. They make a few million Hong Kong dollars and are as happy as gods - Oh, I am one of them. one!"

"Then why not come over and do it together?"

"Ha, you're here again! Don't tell me this, I won't join, but your film is good, has character, and the style is rare in Hong Kong. If you ask me to write a song, I have no problem."

"Then it's settled. We'll ask you to write songs for our future movies. Don't refuse!"

"Everyone has to sacrifice his life for five buckets of rice in his life. I also want to make a living, and I usually accept everyone who comes. But writing songs for good movies is like drinking alcohol, and writing songs for bad movies will make you suffer. Just speak up!"

Chen Qi has a good drinker, but he is always too lazy to drink.

I'm a little more relaxed today.

While the wine was in full swing, he asked again: "Uncle Lu, are you interested in being a judge?"

"What judges?"

"Singing competition!"

"Oh, I've done this many times and it's no fun!"

Huang Lu was very disgusted and said: "ATV and TVB have done it, and record companies have also done it. They find a few people to sing, and we rate them. The good ones will be promoted and the bad ones will be eliminated. You want to have a singing competition?"

"I have this idea!"

"Then don't look for me, it's boring, unless you give me twice the reward!"

"This should be interesting to me, let's talk about it then."

The two drank for a long time, and the waiter who watched was secretly surprised that Lu Bo didn't call her a public relations lady for the first time, and she was just chatting. What's the origin of that mainlander? It seems to be a bit higher than that.

It's about ten o'clock.

Huang Xu still couldn't hold it back and said, "You really don't want to call me Miss?"

"If you don't have enough fun, wait for me to leave and try again. I have to go back so late.'

"It's still late at ten o'clock? I've been playing all night long - forget it, I'll ask Cai Lan and the others to come!"

Chen Qi didn't show any politeness, got up and walked away.

Huang Lu called someone. He, Cai Lam, and Ni Kuang were a fixed combination in the nightclub, and Jin Yong did not participate.

Among the so-called four great talents in Xiangjiang, Huang Lu wrote "Collected Works of Bu Wen", but his talent was more reflected in music, Ni Kuang wrote science fiction, Jin Yong wrote martial arts and ran newspapers, and Cai Lam wrote food and miscellaneous notes.

Du Laozhi came out.

Chen Qi found that he was indeed a special case. Du Laozhi's nightlife had just begun and he did not end so early. He is not pretending, he has a lot of sisters, how can he see Miss Wu?

Xiao Yang drove the car over, got in and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the parking boy jumped out again and started making noises not far away. As soon as Xiao Mo opened the door and got out, the parking boy ran away again. Xiao Mo was depressed: "How come he is like a fly? He only disgusts people."

"He didn't take action!" Xiao Yang added.

"It's easy to do it. This is the most disgusting thing."

"So, we have to spread the power of the security department across Hong Kong quickly, so that the people of Hong Kong can experience the warmth of a big family." Chen Qidao.

Xiao Mo was too lazy to continue and asked: "Brother Qi, what is the nature of Huang Lu now?"

"They are considered friends!"

"Is he important?"

"Um!"

After receiving Chen Qi's confirmation, Xiao Mo shut up.

Wanshitai was driving on the streets late at night, and the space was a little larger than the Gundam. Chen Qi was comfortable sitting in the back, his thoughts swaying with the neon lights.

Dongfang Company has already established a solid foothold in the film industry, and is now looking to expand into the music market. Huang Lu has such a wide network of contacts. He is a godfather-level figure, and it will be of great benefit to make friends with him. This also involves united front.

In 1983, we had a group of Hong Kong people for the Spring Festival Gala, and in 1984 we had to find people from Taiwan.

Taiwanese movie stars are not easy to work with, but musicians do have several goals. Chen Qi's "singing competition" is not only a show, but also wants to find a reason to invite certain people to Hong Kong, but he has to do so after returning from the United States.

"Dark eyes, black hair, and yellow skin will always be the descendants of the dragon..."

Xiao Mo heard him suddenly humming a song and asked, "Brother Qi, what are you singing?"

""Descendants of the Dragon" is very good. Go buy it and listen to it."

"If we classify it into mainland films, Hong Kong films, Taiwan films, etc., it would be too narrow. "Life is Beautiful" represents the highest level of Chinese-language films today. Its creativity and expression will make the Hong Kong film industry ashamed!"

"It is a loss for the Academy Awards that such a film cannot participate in the Academy Awards!"

"Huang Lu: Anti-Japanese and pro-American, Chinese stories with American core, but it is still a classic, leading the way for ten years!"

"According to Oriental Company, the overseas copyright sales of "Life is Beautiful" have reached 7.85 million US dollars, surpassing "Orphan"!"

"Life is Beautiful has confirmed its registration for the Oscars next year, and 20th Century Fox will take charge of North American publicity!"

In the next few days, most media have a positive attitude towards "Life is Beautiful". Those who run film magazines and write columns are more or less literary and artistic. Don't underestimate Hong Kong's literary and artistic youth, they like this.

Especially this film has broken away from the routine of the Eighth Route Army fighting the devils and has become their favorite Western narrative technique, and they are not stingy with praise.

Following this, "Life is Beautiful" was officially released.

There were no additional theaters rented, just the 8 theaters in Yindu, and the attendance rate was surprisingly good, exceeding that of "The Grudge".

After a week, the box office exceeded 6 million. Previously, the highest box office of Hong Kong art films was "The Wrath of the Sea".

With 15 million, "Life is Beautiful" has a great chance of exceeding it, but the upper limit will not be too outrageous, as the nature of the film is here.

Cheng Long and others came to watch it specially, and it was very boring.

Especially the younger brothers, each one was less educated than the other, and they couldn't get into it at all.

"So boring, is it as good as it is hyped up?"

"It's an art film, you know nothing about art!"

Hong Jinbao was also there, whispering: "Along, we are scratching our heads about "Project A", do you want to ask Mr. Chen for some ideas?"

"No, they are going to Oscars, and we haven't even conquered Hong Kong, how can we survive?"

"But you started working on this film last year, and now you haven't even finished half of it, how can you explain it to Mr. Zou?

"I'll explain to Mr. Zou, anyway, we can't be careless! ”

Cheng Long has a strong sense of self-esteem and is very determined.

"Project A" breaks away from the previous pattern and tells the story of Hong Kong marine police fighting pirates. It is rare that they have put a lot of effort into the script. The story is relatively complete, with many funny plots and also has elements of drama.

For this reason, they also went to the Hong Kong Marine Police Force to collect folk songs, that is, to experience life in the mainland.

Seeing Chen Qi's rapid progress, he envied him and worked harder.
