"Premiere?"

Shu Qi looked at the invitation in front of him with curiosity. In the past, Hong Kong film companies gave them midnight movie tickets to commentary magazines like them. This was the first time someone gave them a premiere invitation. And if his memory was not wrong, it should be the first premiere in Hong Kong's film history.

but……

Shu Qi quietly put down the invitation and looked at Chen Baisheng and asked in confusion: "Bai Sheng, why don't you go? I remember you seem to know Li Xuan."

"This has nothing to do with Li Xuan. I just don't want to see anything related to Shaw Brothers for the time being!" Chen Baisheng replied coldly.

"Haha." Shu Qi chuckled and shook his head, then asked slowly: "No, are you still angry?"

This time, Chen Bosheng did not answer, but asked directly: "Why can't I get angry when Shao Yifu can say that kind of thing?"

What did Shao Yifu say that made Chen Baisheng so angry?

It turned out that on January 19, 1981, just a few days ago, Shaw Yifu went to Manila, the capital of the Philippines to attend the preparatory meeting of the first Manila Film Festival. I don’t know if this old man was flattering the Philippine government or was too confused, but he actually said the amazing words that the Hong Kong International Film Festival could be suspended after the meeting.

As soon as this sentence was passed back to Hong Kong, it immediately caused criticism from many film critics. Chen Baisheng, one of the founders of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, was even more angry. Although he no longer manages the affairs of the film festival, this is also a child he has worked hard to raise. Can he be abused by others?

"Oh! You, you..." Shu Qi sighed and said earnestly: "I will give you the position of editor-in-chief to you after a while. This first Hong Kong movie premiere is a waste whether I go or others go. You are just right. But why are you so stubborn!"

Chen Baisheng frowned slightly when he heard Shu Qi's words, and said slowly: "Aren't your editor-in-chief doing a good job? He always thinks about what to do for me."

"This is the difference between full-time and part-time jobs." Shu Qi chuckled softly: "I am a part-time editor, but you are a full-time editor. We will change, right? Besides, I'm not going to leave the magazine."

After hearing Shu Qi's words, Chen Baisheng rubbed his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Anyway, you can go to the premiere for this time or someone else. Don't look for me anymore."

"I'm going to the premiere, so what are you doing?"

"Me?" Chen Bosheng raised his head slightly and said with a serious look: "I'll go and have a good talk with the radio station. I don't want the Film Awards to become the second Hong Kong International Film Festival."

"You, your stubborn temper is coming back." Shu Qi shook his head and said, "We finally found such a partner. Moreover, Hong Kong Radio is a government unit. It is understandable that they want to invite two government officials to be award presenters. As long as the award qualification is in our hands, you can go with them."

"Politics does not participate in art, this is one of my ideals for starting a film festival." Chen Baisheng suddenly stood up and said with a serious face: "So, as for any matter, I will try again this time and try my best to ensure the fairness of the Film Awards!"

After Chen Baisheng finished speaking, he turned around and left Shu Qi's office silently. Only Shu Qi, who looked helpless, sat behind the desk, quietly looking at the invitation.

"Premiere?"

Jin Yong held up the golden silk glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked surprised at the invitation in his hand. Unexpectedly, that brat Li Xuan actually made a premiere. Jin Yong, who once worked as a film screenwriter at Great Wall Company, was already a newspaper tycoon at this time, but he also knew what the premiere was.

I just don’t know what that guy made “The Smiling and Proud Wanderer”. If it’s too bad, his face will be a big deal. However, the movie should be good, otherwise would Shao Yifu be crazy with the leading theater under Shaw Brothers’ name to accompany Li Xuan?

Well! I have to go there early on the premiere day.

Jin Yong thought all the way, then put down the invitation in his hand and picked up a magazine next to him.

This is a magazine with sixteenth opening. The cover of the whole magazine is made of blue, and a large photo is printed on the cover. In the photo, a woman wearing a yellow training suit sets up a martial arts stand with a side squat and short squat on the grass. This is a magazine that is obviously related to martial arts, because this magazine is called "Wu Lin".

However, a discerning person can tell at a glance that this is obviously not a Hong Kong martial arts magazine. The reason is that the cover style of the magazine is completely different from that of Hong Kong magazines, and the words on this magazine are actually all in simplified Chinese!

That’s right, this book "Wu Lin" is a martial arts magazine published in Guangzhou, mainland China. At this time, Jin Yong’s "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was serialized in this magazine.

This also marks that Jin Yong's martial arts novels officially entered the mainland market after opening up the Taiwan market.

However, this magazine was sent to him by Director Liao of the Mainland Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, which was another show of goodwill from the North. Jin Yong knew about Shao Yifu's secret journey north. So, facing the repeated invitations from the North this time, should he go or not?

Even if I want to go north, I can only go north secretly like Shao Yifu!

Jin Yong put down the magazine in his hand with a headache. Now, there is a more troublesome thing waiting for him than whether he is going north or not.

But it was Wen Rui'an, who was from Jin Guliang, who came to ask for help!

Wen Rui'an, the unlucky child, mentioned earlier that this guy created a literary club of the "Shenzhou Poetry Society" in Taiwan. However, not long after the club was established, it was reported to be "propaganda for bandits". As a result, the club was disbanded, and Wen Rui'an was invited by the Taiwan authorities to have coffee every few days. Later, things became more and more serious, and Wen Rui'an was simply driven out of Taiwan by the Taiwan authorities.

Well, I can’t stay in Taiwan anymore, so I can go back to my hometown by myself.

Although Wen Rui'an's ancestral home is Meixian, Guangdong, he was born in Malaysia himself. However, he may have forgotten that Malaysia at this time was a country that was firmly anti-Red.

Now, Wen Rui'an can't even go back to his hometown.

Taiwan cannot go, and his hometown Malaysia cannot go back, so Wen Rui'an thought about coming to Hong Kong. However, this unlucky child happened to meet the Hong Kong government's tightening of immigration policies. In October last year, the Hong Kong government ordered all illegal households in Hong Kong to apply for ID cards within three days, and the expiration will no longer be accepted. In this month, the Hong Kong government just abolished the law of issuing ID cards when smugglers go to the city of Hong Kong. If they want to have a Hong Kong ID card in the future, they must live in Hong Kong for seven years and have a stable and legal job, and have more than three Hong Kong people jointly guarantee it.

As a result, Wen Rui'an applied for immigration to Hong Kong several times, but was all beaten back by the Hong Kong government's Immigration Department as insufficiently qualified.

This time, the unlucky child was finally angry. I won’t be a Hong Konger anymore. It’s enough for me to apply for a work visa as an overseas employee!

But Wen Ruian was stunned again when he thought about it. Although he was a famous martial arts novelist, he published countless novels in Ming Pao. But in detail, he was just a writer who wrote a font. His relationship with Ming Pao was just to collect money from the publication. Where did he get the employee status?

Originally, if Wen Rui'an had proposed to work in Ming Pao before this series of unlucky things, Jin Yong would have welcomed him with both hands. But now the Taiwanese authorities have charged him with "propaganda for bandits". Jin Yong, who has just established a good relationship with Taiwan, will only let Wen Rui'an come to Ming Pao unless he is stupid.

But Jin Yong and Wen Rui'an have a good relationship. This time, they have been begging him for the sake of their own. They have to find a way out for him!

But Jin Yong is worried now, which company dares to accept someone who "propaganda for bandits"?

"Ah snee! Ah snee! Ah snee! Ah snee!"

Li Xuan, who was having afternoon tea with Ding Pei and Zhong Chuhong at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, felt his nose itchy and he couldn't help but sneezes. Fortunately, Li Xuan had already covered his nose with a napkin and did not make him ugly in public.

Ding Pei, who was sitting opposite Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong, teased and said, "Haha, Xuanzai Ahong, you two young people, no matter how crazy you play at night, you should pay attention to your health."

"Sister Pei, you are changing the topic again!" Zhong Chuhong said with red eyes: "Why do you want to divorce? Haven't you always had a good relationship with Brother Qiang?"

Li Xuan also wiped his nose and asked slowly, "Yes, Sister Pei. You are divorced, how do you plan to live in the future?"

"How to live? Just live like this. Isn't it easy for a person to live? Just take things lightly." Ding Pei replied lightly.

"But..." Zhong Chuhong hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "I still can't understand why you divorced. Besides, what should you do with your children?"
