Chapter 50 Summary

From ancient times to the present, image projects have always been hated by the public and are constantly scolded, but no matter how much the curse is, image projects have never disappeared. Instead, they have become more and more intense. There are skyscrapers, luxury buildings, sea bridges, giant sculptures, the world's largest, the world's longest, and the world's first-class hats emerge one after another...

This is because although image engineering is exhausting and frivolous, it has a great advantage, that is, it can greatly increase the social influence of the parties in the shortest time, so all kinds of leaders still enjoy it even though they are scolded.

In a sense, Jiajia Performing Arts and Culture Center is a Shen Chong image project. After the ribbon is cut, he is the most exposed person for several days, whether in Hong Kong or Taiwan, whether in newspapers or TV stations. Everyone in the two places knows that he is already a world-class art master who invites inscriptions. He can drink and chat with the "President" of Taiwan, and no one dares to look at him with the "innocent" eyes.

Ordinary people saw the excitement and scandals, and those who were interested saw wealth and power, so he came to the door in person. After he spoke out, Song Cunshou and Qiong Yao had almost no hesitation and agreed to participate in the jury of the Golden Star Awards. As for Liu Jiachang, he had already traveled across the ocean to the United States at Zhen Zhen's request, but Qiong Yao took the initiative to call and communicate in the middle, and he also agreed to go to Hong Kong after the Spring Festival.

Relying on the influence of the three young masters of Jiang San and Song Chuyu behind the scenes, the three Taiwanese TV stations, Chen Chong, had a little contact and all expressed their willingness to bid for the recording and broadcasting rights of the Golden Image Awards ceremony.

With this attitude, Chen Chong gave up Zhang Xiaoyan after accompanying Zhang Aijia to participate in the recording of "Variety Show 100". She was indeed good at driving the atmosphere on the spot, but her style was more lifelike. The image of the close sister next door was not suitable for being the host of a large-scale ceremony.

After thinking about it, Chen Chong finally decided to let Zhang Aijia go to the stage and be the female host of the Golden Horse Awards. Anyway, according to memory, she has been the host of several Golden Horse Awards ceremony, and can keep the scene safe. She is proficient in Mandarin, Cantonese and English, and can communicate with guests from all sides.

In addition to cutting ribbons during this trip to Taiwan, he also reviewed the annual financial reports of several of his companies in 1979 - as a boss, you should not be too unpresent.

Rolling Stone Company released two albums last year, one for Luo Dayou and the other for the acoustic guitar choir. Luo Dayou lost a lot. The acoustic guitar choir made a small profit, and the overall loss was more than NT$7 million. However, Chen Chong did not take some losses to the heart. The Duan brothers are very good at operating. The company has a strong humanistic temperament and attracted a group of creative music talents to join. They have a solid foundation and a good reputation in the industry. As long as they change their radical music style, they will rise soon.

Under the auspices of Wu Chuchu, the UFO Company compromised everything to the market. With Qi Yu and Jinyun Award rising star Zheng Yi as the main singer, he released four campus folk song-style records in just three months, making more than NT$15 million. However, the UFO is driven by singers and has a slightly weak creative ability. Many songs are covered. In terms of background and development potential, they are not as good as Rolling Stone.

As for the Oriental Charming Branch, where Zhang Aijia is the manager, he has produced two movies in total, one is "Good Morning Taipei" and the other is "It's a cool autumn".

I don’t know if it was inspired by Hu Jinquan’s Korean filming of "Legend of the Mountain" and "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain", but Zhang Aijia also adopted the same strategy, using the same behind-the-scenes team and the same starring actor, and made two movies in two months.

Both movies are starring Zhong Zhentao and Lin Fengjiao, but "Good Morning Taipei" is directed and written by Hou Hsiao-hsien, photographed by Chen Kunhou, and "It's a good autumn to be cool" is directed and photographed by Chen Kunhou and written by Hou Hsiao-hsien.

Chen Kunhou is a senior photographer in Taiwan, with rich industry experience, mature and persistent. He is a spiritual leader of the new generation of directors in Taiwan, and is one of the three founders of the new film movement in Taiwan.

After Brother H, Zhong Zhentao went solo from the Winner band, he went to Taiwan to shoot many love movies. He was tall and handsome, and could play and sing. He was faintly the voice of the first young actor after the "Er Qin", and became popular in Taiwan's thousands of girls, especially middle school girls. Like Huang Yunling, a girl who worked part-time at the Rolling Stone, there was a signed photo of Zhong Zhentao on her schoolbag. This was something she asked Zhang Aijia to get.

In 1979, Brigitte Lin had a constant turmoil and basically retired from film. Lin Fengjiao took the opportunity to rise and went on a row throughout the year. She starred in fifteen movies in a row, with an average of more than one movie a month. This record made the generations of later generations film nine sets of movies at the same time, and Cheng Yuling, who is known as the "Zheng Jiu Group", was beyond the reach of the world.

"Good Morning Taipei" was originally intended to be given to director Li Xing, the ace of the Popular Film Company, but after being seen by Zhang Aijia, she tempted her to be the director of Hou Hsiao-hsien and snatched her from her. When Shen Chong came to Taipei in August, Zhang Aijia forced him to watch it, which was the script of this movie.

"Good Morning Taipei" tells the love entanglement between two men and one woman in Taipei City. The story is nothing new and there is no breakthrough in the plot. A typical Taiwanese pure love movie is similar to the style of Qiong Yao's movies. However, Hou Hsiao-hsien made it very delicately, and portrays the feelings between the three naturally implicitly, which is quite touching. This movie was also selected for the first-choice list of the Best Picture of the Academy Awards.

"It's so cool to be autumn" tells the story of a bloody fighter. A pure college student rescued a woman who wanted to jump into the river and commit suicide. The woman was very beautiful, but she became pregnant. After they got together for a while, they gradually became affectionate. Then the woman left without saying goodbye. The college student was anxiously looking for her, but unexpectedly she had a car accident and lost her memory. Two years later, the two met again in a small town...

When Shen Chong was watching the stills of these two-step movies, he unexpectedly found two acquaintances. One was the second male lead who played opposite Zhong Zhentao in "Good Morning Taipei". He played Xu Xian's brother-in-law Li Gongfu in the immortal classic TV series "The Legend of the White Snake". After inquiring, he found out that the person's name was Jiang Ming. He has been in the industry for more than ten years. He is a first-line Taiwanese actor and has many works.

The other one is Ang Lee's eternal father, Lang Xiong, in the "Family Trilogy". He appeared in both movies and was both supporting roles.

The budgets of these two dramas are similar, each RU is about NT$00,000. It will start filming at the end of August and be completed in early November. After the Golden Horse Awards, it will be released one after another. It will be released in Taipei for two weeks, with a total revenue of more than NT$17UU, and after the account is divided, it will earn NT$4 million and be paid in fractions. This data will be very good for Zhang Aijia, who just became a manager or Hou Hsiao-hsien, who was directed for the first time.

Although her grades were good, Chen Chong decided to replace Zhang Aijia after the Spring Festival. She was more suitable for being a planner and an actor than a company manager. The trivial matters and concerns in business not only restricted her keen intuition in film selection, but also deprived her acting talent. In 1979, after "Legend of the Mountain", she had no more works. For a new Golden Horse Film Queen who was 25 or 26 years old and in her golden years, this was a waste of time.

As for the Taiwan version of "Movie Age" edited by Qiu Gangjian, it is backed by the Hong Kong General Office, and has a large amount of information and information for content. He himself knows many cultural celebrities in Taiwan, so the magazine has only been established for half a year, and the circulation has exceeded 50,000 copies, and a profit of nearly NT$00,000. It is Taiwan's leading film journal. In the editorial office of the magazine, various salon lectures were held every few days, attracting a large number of film enthusiasts. In the hearts of the new generation of filmmakers, this magazine has almost become a biblical existence, and is very full of this.

Overall, Chen Chong's investment in Taiwan in 1979 had a small surplus, and everything he did also produced a lot of fruits. Hou Hsiao-hsien made his mark, Jin Shijie showed his strength, and Li Liqun's first appearance on the stage were all gratifying things.
