"Using group portraits of small people at the bottom to highlight the changes, joys and sorrows of society in the past twenty years, the story progresses layer by layer in an orderly rhythm.
Music plays the finishing touch! "

"The love between father and daughter is deeply touching, and the humanistic care in it is even more touching. The military villages, which are hidden in society, seem to have nothing to do with Taiwan's booming economy. The favor and disgrace of the honorable citizens lingers in the streets, and the walls that have been demolished and the things that have been lost are forgotten. Identity, sitting and watching the warmth and warmth of people, I can only hum:
Taipei is not my home. There are no neon lights in my hometown. "
"When Hong Kong films and American films dominate the market, we really need local films like "The Wrong Ride"!"
"The music is simply great! Taiwanese music is bidding farewell to the folk era, but except for Luo Dayou, there are no eye-catching works yet.
I didn’t expect that what I longed for would appear in a movie! "
After "The Wrong Ride" was released, it quickly became popular.
Historically, this film was re-released eight times in five months! This shows that every time it is re-released, it has a good attendance rate. Taiwan's box office statistics are relatively rough and are generally based on the greater Taipei area.
The box office of "The Wrong Ride" in the greater Taipei area reached more than NT$40 million. The box office in Taiwan is usually multiplied by 2-2.5 times, so the total box office is about NT$100 million.
All in all, the film was a hit. The comments above are normal, but Taiwan has a special environment where all the people are involved in government affairs, and they like to refer to politics no matter what.
An article was published with a scary title: "A Party Outsider Takes the Wrong Train?" 》
"In 1949, after the Communist Party retreated to Taiwan, the education level of the vast majority of soldiers in the army was very low.
In "The Wrong Ride", Uncle Mute is the best example of this type of veteran. They had no skills and no education, and they were engaged in the most humble jobs in Taiwanese society at that time.
The relationship between the mute uncle and his adopted daughter in the film can be seen as a microcosm of the relationship between veterans and the Kuomintang.
The adopted daughter was abandoned by her parents, and Guodang was abandoned by the mainland. The adopted daughter was an abandoned baby like Guodang. Uncle Mute raised his adopted daughter, and it was these veterans who used their blood and sweat to protect and raise the big fruit party.
However, after the Guo Party established a solid foundation for its rule, it unconsciously distanced itself from the veterans and gradually forgot about this group of people. Just like the adopted daughter gradually became alienated from her dumb uncle after becoming famous in the music industry.
The mute uncle's inability to speak is a symbolic meaning, which means that they are not taken seriously, have no voice, and are a silent group of people. From this point of view, the title of "The Wrong Ride" is particularly meaningful! "
Phew~~~
Zhuang Cheng wanted to vomit three liters of blood!
He didn't know whether Mr. Chen had this intention when he wrote the script, but he was in Taiwan and could never have this intention.
Wang Yingxiang and the small official from the Information Bureau were very calm and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, these people will talk nonsense. We know it has nothing to do with you."
"But if they say this, our superiors won't have any objections to us?"
"Look, what is the name of the newspaper that publishes the article? "Opposition Commentary Series", what does it mean to be an opposition? They are a group of non-party elements who write these anti-party articles every day. They are best at using topics to make use of them. Sooner or later, they will be wiped out!"
Zhuang Cheng didn't dare to say anything, he had heard some things.
For example, in 1979, a magazine called "Beautiful Island" held a demonstration for democracy in Kaohsiung, which eventually turned into a confrontation between police and civilians. The authorities deployed anti-riot troops, resulting in 200 injuries and 152 arrests. It was called " "Beautiful Island Incident".
Anti-party elements in Taiwan have always existed and grown, until the Democratic Progressive Party was established openly and openly in 1986, which later became the Green Camp "Cheers!"
"cheers!"
It was another wine party. Zhuang Cheng, Wang Yingxiang and a small official from the Information Bureau, this official was low-level but in charge, smiled and said: ""The Wrong Ride" premiered and became a hit. With the current momentum, it is destined to be a big hit. Mr. Zhuang is prosperous, but don’t think it’s too small. I hope to make more Mandarin films like this.”
"I have always been close to Taiwan, so of course I wanted to take the photo. And from an industry perspective, there is a saying that we feed and clothe our parents. How could I dare to go against that?"
"It's good that Hong Kong filmmakers have the same awareness as you. Now that the CCP is powerful, many people have wandering minds. They don't even think about whether the mainland will open the market to them even if they invest in it. They have to rely on Taiwan!"
The junior official was very confident about this and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhuang still wants to participate in the Golden Horse Awards?"
"Our Academy Awards are too new and are deficient in all aspects. The Golden Horse Awards have status, and I want to win a few trophies to show off!"
Wang Yingxiang suddenly winked at Zhuang Cheng. Zhuang Cheng received it and said with a smile: "I still want to stay in Taipei for a few days. The superior treats people very well. If you don't mind, why don't you take me around so that I can gain some experience?" "
Go to high-end places to live and drink, and he pays for all the expenses, which is a disguised bribe.
"Oh, brother Zhuang is so polite!"
The junior official was filled with joy and anger, and immediately agreed, saying specifically: "Don't be in a hurry for the Golden Horse Awards. The nominations will be announced in October and will be held in November. There are still a few months left."
"I don't care, please do everything!"
Now that things have happened, Zhuang Cheng is both excited and scared. If he makes trouble with the Golden Horse Award, he is afraid that he will be assassinated?
When I return to Hong Kong, I have to quickly apply to my boss for additional security.
The Golden Horse Awards was founded in 1962 and has a long history. It once invited Hollywood superstar Elizabeth Taylor to present the award, which is full of international style. In the past, it was hosted by the Information Bureau, but this year it was handed over to the private sector for the first time. However, in that format, the Information Bureau still took the lead.
The junior official thought about this year's film.
The unspoken rules of the Golden Horse Awards are as follows:
If local films are really not good, the award will be given to Hong Kong films;
If they want to win over a certain Hong Kong filmmaker, the award will also be given to Hong Kong films, such as Tsui Hark won the Best Director, but he turned out to be a Communist Party member;
Any local film that can rank first or second can basically win an award.
Although "The Wrong Car" is invested by Hong Kong, it is full of Taiwanese elements from production to content. It is a combination of the second and third items, which has great advantages.
"Show!"
"Show!"
"Show again! Wow, you are popular! I said you will definitely be popular this time!"
At Feidie Records, Su Rui is already busy promoting the soundtrack of "The Wrong Car", and with the release of the movie, one plus one is greater than two. Many invitations have been sent, and the starting price is 50,000.
In addition to album sales, there is another most intuitive standard for whether a singer is popular: the appearance fee at the show.
Gao Lingfeng makes NT$240,000 a day, which is a sky-high price. By the way, Gao Lingfeng has a good relationship with Qiong Yao. Qiong Yao wrote a novel based on him called "Girlfriend", which was also made into a movie starring Lin Qingxia.
Su Rui made NT$50,000, which made her famous overnight.
It was another night.
Wang Jie found Xiao Chong: "I want to sign up!"
"Okay! The ratings of their show are very high. As long as you pass the first round, you will be famous. Even if you continue to sing in the lounge, your appearance fee will be higher. If you are lucky, you can sign a company-"
Xiao Chong was very enthusiastic, and Wang Jie just nodded. This was what he had in mind. He would make as many rounds as he could.
