Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 169 0168 [Shek Kip Mei People Need Drinking Water! 】

"In short, the future of Hong Kong films is bright, and the competition will be more intense. However, with the prosperity, there will be extinction. Just like the change of dynasties, no one can stop it. No, maybe now we can make a little effort to formulate A set of rules that can avoid the demise of Hong Kong movies, such as avoiding following trends, preventing shoddy production..." Shi Zhijian talked eloquently.

Shao Daheng, Mr. Qiu, and Zou Wenhuaiwen all listened carefully. Even Zhou Duwen, who had joked about Shi Zhijian's nonsense before, became quiet at the moment, for fear of interrupting Shi Zhijian's every word.

Every word Shi Zhijian said was a very common opinion in the previous life, such as the problem of following the trend of the movie, and the problem of crude production. He knows better than anyone what consequences it can bring.

But to Shao Daheng and others' ears, it was refreshing, and they felt extremely incisive.

Shi Zhijian finished all the words about Hong Kong movies hidden in his stomach in one breath, and then let out a long breath, feeling his mouth dry.

So he picked up the red wine in front of him and drank it down without pretending to be gentle.

Looking back, Shi Zhijian saw that Shao Daheng and the others were all looking at him.

Shi Zhijian thought he was drinking in an indecent manner just now, so he said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I'm thirsty."

"Since you're thirsty, drink an extra glass!"

Mr. Qiu, who hadn't spoken much from the beginning to the end, suddenly smiled, and took the initiative to pour a glass of red wine for Shi Zhijian, then got up and handed it to Shi Zhijian.

Mr. Qiu's move made Shao Daheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes.

Zou Wenhuai and Zhou Duwen opened their mouths even more, as if they were surprised by something.

Shi Zhijian had already seen that this Mr. Qiu should be a big shot, so he hurriedly stood up and took the wine glass and said, "Thank you! How can I ask you to pour wine for me?"

Mr. Qiu smiled slightly: "You're welcome! Make a good relationship!"

Make a good relationship!

The four characters have a long meaning.

Shi Zhijian didn't hesitate any longer, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

It can also be regarded as giving Mr. Jinqiu face.

Mr. Qiu nodded slightly, as if very satisfied.

When Shi Zhijian drank the wine and sat down again, Shao Daheng motioned for everyone to chat casually. He had other things to do over there, so he left first.

So Yifu Shao invited that Mr. Qiu to go there with him.

Zhou Duwen also hurriedly stood up, saying that he was going to have a few words with his colleagues, and that he had recently taken over the production department, and the workload increased, so he was reluctant to hold on.

He said reluctantly, but his face showed a little bit of satisfaction and satisfaction.

Zou Wenhuai didn't point it out, he is on a big vacation now, but he can eat and drink as much as he wants without worrying too much.

After everyone left, Shi Zhijian asked Zou Wenhuai, "Who is that sacred Mr. Qiu?"

Zou Wenhuai joked: "Don't you know how to pinch and count? You know five hundred years at the top, and five hundred years at the bottom—how can you do the math?"

"My surname is Qiu, and Daheng Shao respects him so much, could it be—"

A name almost blurted out.

Zou Wenhuai knew that Shi Zhijian had guessed right, "That's right, he is the chairman of the Far East Group and the owner of the Lychee Garden, Qiu Dewang!"

Qiu Dewang,

Create the Far East Bank!

The future boss of ATV TV station!

Compete with Shao Yifu for hegemony in Xiangjiang, known as "the last entertainment tycoon"!

In fact, Qiu Dewang has always wanted to compete with Shao Yifu for hegemony in the film industry. For this reason, in 1964, Qiu Dewang also discussed cooperation intentions with Lu Yuntao, the president of MP & GI, and wanted to invest in MP & GI to fight against Shaw Brothers.

Unfortunately, before Lu Yuntao could give a reply, a generation of movie tycoons fell due to the plane crash, and Qiu De and his ambition to fight for the silver sea were stopped.

As for the reason why Qiu Dewang was invited here to participate in the Shaw Brothers event tonight, it was just Yifu Shao's respect for this almost climatic opponent.

The master is lonely!

The same goes for Daheng Shao.

"But Ah Jian," Zou Wenhuai suddenly stared at Shi Zhijian hard, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top, Shi Zhijian was almost a little embarrassed, and then said: "You always make me look at you with admiration. !"

"Don't talk about me, Shao Daheng and others were probably surprised by you just now."

"Yes, why don't I think so?" Shi Zhijian looked innocent.

Zou Wenhuai rolled his eyes, "Pretend I didn't say anything! Come on, I'll introduce you to people first!"

"Who do you know?"

"Are you saying you want to worship Ashia? He is the protagonist today, so of course I'm going to congratulate him!"

"Ah Tuo? Zhang Tuo, the millionaire leader?" Shi Zhijian was taken aback, but Zou Wenhuai pulled him away.

...

Back then, in order to buy out "The One-Armed Swordsman", Shi Zhijian made nonsense that he was a fan of Zhang Tuo, but Zou Wenhuai didn't expect Zou Wenhuai to be serious at this moment, so he really introduced Zhang Tui to him.

Shi Zhijian finally met his "idol" Zhang Qie.

Zhang Qi was even more confused than Shi Zhijian.

I have only made three films before, and each one was worse than the other, so I still have fans?

It's not that this fan has a problem with aesthetics, or that he has a problem with his brain.

Zou Wenhuai made an introduction, saying that Shi Zhijian was the big buyer who was optimistic about his drama and bought out "The One-Armed Swordsman" for 200,000 yuan. Zhang Tuicai had a good impression of Shi Zhijian. a gambler, and the bet won.

Shi Zhijian struck while the iron was hot, hugged Zhang Tuo deeply, and patted each other on the shoulder.

One said: "Thank you!"

One said: "Come on!"

The male and female protagonists of "One Armed Sword" are also on the side, the male protagonist is Wang Yu, and the female protagonist is Pan Yingzi.

Wang Yu is one of the few male actors of this era who is proud and domineering by nature. Everyone has the kind of squinting look from top to bottom, with his small mouth tightly pursed, and one corner of his mouth is turned up forty-five Spend.

In his previous life, Shi Zhijian admired his villainous appearance in "Martial Arts", so he shook hands with this domineering actor and hugged each other. He felt that his wrist was strong, and when he patted himself on the back, it was like being hit by a bear's paw, which was very powerful .

Now that the director and the leading actor have been embraced, of course the heroine Pan Yingzi cannot be left behind, lest someone say that Shi Zhijian favors one over another.

So Shi Zhijian hugged Pan Yingzi again.

In this era, Pan Yingzi is young and beautiful, full of charm and beauty.

Shi Zhijian was more impressed by the fact that she starred in "A Generation of Empress Wu Zetian" and "A Generation of Empress Da Yu'er" in her previous life, in which Wu Zetian was domineering and Da Yuer was enchanting.

However, the young Pan Yingzi is still good, with thin skin and tender flesh, and her waist is like a willow, so Shi Zhijian couldn't help but hugged her twice more, and by the way, he blew into her ear and said, "I'm your movie fan! "

...

After the banquet officially started, Shao Daheng first spoke on stage as the boss, and then the main creators of "One Armed Sword" took the stage to speak collectively.

Of course, the glory of "breaking a million at the box office" belongs to Shaw Brothers, and the laurels of "Million Director" belong to Zhang Qie.

As the buyout party of this play, Shi Zhijian is not qualified to speak on stage at all.

Because most people don't know that there is such a secret behind this million-dollar box office movie.

off stage.

Zheng Shaoqiu looked at the stage excitedly, like a child who had never seen the world.

Shi Zhijian sipped his wine with his legs crossed. When others applauded, he also applauded. When others speak on stage, he just listens and looks normal.

For Shao Daheng, Zou Wenhuai, Zhou Duwen and others, as long as they are not fools, they will definitely not steal the limelight on this occasion, especially not to expose the inside story of "The One-armed Sword".

but--

After Zhou Duwen finished speaking on stage on behalf of the producer, Shi Zhijian drank the wine in his glass and stood up.

All of a sudden, everyone turned their attention to him.

Shi Zhijian's sudden standing up was too abrupt.

Zheng Shaoqiu, who was sitting next to him, was even more taken aback, looking at Shi Zhijian with a dazed expression.

Seeing that Shi Zhijian was breathing alcohol, as if he had drunk too much, he moved his neck, pinched his navy blue tie, and then stepped onto the stage.

What is he going to do?

Shao Daheng narrowed his eyes.

Zou Wenhuai was startled, Ah Jian must be drunk, why did he go on stage?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shi Zhijian came to the stage, reached out to take the microphone in Zhou Duwen's hand, and then turned to look at everyone.

The people in the audience were all the big names in Hong Kong at the moment, or they were big stars.

Shi Zhijian took a deep breath, stood proudly on the stage, stood under the spotlight, facing the crowd, and the scenes of people in Shi Kip Mei without water to eat appeared in his mind.

"How can you live without water?"

"We're going to die of thirst!"

"No one cares about us poor people!"

On the corridors of Shek Kip Mei, 8,000 households lined up with buckets and washbasins, and the queue was very long, winding through the entire tall building.

Shi Zhijian pursed his lips, looked down the stage, his eyes turned red, and said, "I just want to say one thing—people from Shi Kipwei, I want to drink water!"
