Chapter 29 Movies

The movie Chen Chong mentioned is naturally "Die Hard". This movie was prepared in December last year, started filming in early January, and all shots were shot in mid-March, and then two months were spent on the post-production period, which lasted for half a year. In the Hong Kong film industry, which is popular with "Seven Days", it is definitely considered meticulous.

After walking around the small auditorium of the sanatorium and checking the structure of the house and the screening equipment, Chen Chong smiled and said to Liao Chengzhi: "Fortunately, this is not a professional cinema, otherwise, I would never have played this movie for you."

"What do you mean?"

"My movie uses the latest stereo technology. If it is shown in a professional cinema, the sound will be very shocking and will cause a burden to the heart." Chen Chong found that he could not express the effect of stereo in words, so he turned to Jing Puchun. "Aunt Jing, the walls here do not absorb sound, and the projection equipment does not support stereo, so the sound is the same as ordinary movies, so there is no need to worry."

"That's good."

"Since that's the case, start to let go quickly. It doesn't matter if I'm a patient. Secretary Xi is very busy and cannot be delayed." Liao Chengzhi said to the service staff: "You go and notify the projectionist and you can put it off. Xiao Shen, move a chair and sit here. Apu, don't be nervous, watch a movie, it doesn't matter."

It is said to be a small auditorium here, but it is actually more like a cultural activity center for the elderly. The seats inside are not neatly arranged, in groups of three or five, and can move freely. Shen Chong as he said, moved a chair and sat behind the two big figures.

At the beginning of the film, as soon as the logo of Oriental Charm was displayed, Liao Chengzhi asked: "Xiao Shen, your movie has not been released in Hong Kong yet, right?"

"No."

"Then what did you bring it to Guangzhou?"

"I don't return home without wealth, like a night walk in brocade clothes. I finally made a movie that is not inferior to Hollywood in the United States. Of course, I want everyone to see it." Chen Chong said half-truely: "I brought this copy to Guangzhou to cooperate with Zhujiang Film Studio to do Mandarin dubbing, and prepare for future screenings through the input and output company."

"I'm not inferior to Hollywood, I'm not very angry," Liao Chengzhi smiled and said, "I'll have a sneak peek tonight and see how you're not inferior to Hollywood."

"Xiao Shen dares to compete with Americans, and this mentality is very good, so young people should do this."

While speaking, the opening and subtitles ended and the main film was entered. The film started with a few minutes to explain the protagonist's profession, personality and ability. Lamma Island belongs to an undeveloped area in Hong Kong. It has a farmland and hut, and is similar to the mainland environment. Sammo Hung also has a honest and honest face. The image of ordinary little people at the bottom made the only few viewers feel intimate. The two bigwigs also talked about the hard years of the year.

The plot quickly moved to Christmas. Sammo Hung left Lamma Island and went to Central to see his childhood sweetheart. At this time, John Woo used a long aerial shot to go north from Lamma Island, crossing Taiping Mountain, and then a bird's eye view of the entire Central. He then circled a little in Victoria Harbor and finally frozen in front of the Kangle Building.

"Hong Kong is worthy of being the pearl of the Orient, with tall buildings and thousands of sails competing for it, and the prosperity is so prosperous..."

"Yes, in just 20 or 30 years, it is more prosperous than Guangzhou. If we don't carry out reform and opening up, we..."

Chen Chong sat honestly behind, without saying a word, listening to the two big guys chatting, and only when he asked him, he would say a few words.

"Xiao Shen, is this the tallest building in Hong Kong?"

"Yes." Shen Chong data came out and introduced: "Kangle Building was built in 2019 and completed in 1973. It took only 16 months from start to top-up, setting a world record at that time. The entire building is 178.5 meters high and floors. It is currently the tallest building in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. However, in a few months, it will be replaced by the newly built Hoh Hokkien Center."

"When will it be great that there will be such buildings in the mainland..."

"Look at each step, don't be impatient, the situation is getting better and better now..."

"Die Hard" plot is compact and full of tension. Although John Wu has not reached his peak at this time, his level is already good. The beauty of the camera and scene control are already quite master-like. Coupled with the action scenes that Chen Chong personally checked, the whole movie is exciting and climaxed, which not only makes the two big shots watch with relish, but also the guards of the followers are blinded.

However, as Shen Chong said after the premiere of "Star Wars Empire Strikes Counterattack", the same movie, different audiences, and different tricks, after watching the two big guys, they did not mention the plot or scene of the movie in a single word.

"Xiao Shen, your movie is good, but it's too luxurious. A good building was blown away by you." After the movie ended, Secretary Xi stood up and shook his head and said, "Although I know that the things in the movie are all fake, I still can't help but feel sorry for you, Director Liao, don't you?"

"I think so, what a good building, it's messy, Xiao Shen is too rude." Liao Chengzhi also criticized him and said, "I saw the Hong Kong media reports that you spent 10UU million US dollars to make this movie? 10UU million US dollars. What is it hard to do to make a movie? And it is a movie with only ornamental value but no artistic value."

"10UU USD? Xiao Shen, did you really spend so much?"

"It cost $10UU,000." Chen Chong explained with a smile: "But this number has a lot of moisture. I have stuffed the costs of buying various equipment, building dubbing studios and printing factories, and asking Americans to come to Hong Kong for training. In fact, these are long-term investments, and they will also need to be used in the future. They cannot be regarded as the cost of this movie. I deliberately said that it cost $10UU, but it is just a promotional requirement."

"Even so, it's a considerable investment. 10UU million US dollars, which can be done in China." Secretary Xi sighed for a moment, shook hands with Shen Chong and said, "Xiao Shen, thank you for your movie tonight. It's very good. I have enjoyed two hours of rest. You are welcome to come to Guangzhou frequently in the future. Of course, you are also welcome to invest in the mainland."

"Class Secretary, I am very lazy. If you say that, I will come to Guangzhou every few days to harass you."

"I can't ask for anything, but I can't ask for something." Secretary Xi let go of his hand and said goodbye to Liao Chengzhi: "Director Liao, you should cultivate well, I'll go back first."

After sending Liao Chengzhi and his wife back to the small building where they were temporarily living in the sanatorium, Chen Chong and Li Kaiyuan also said goodbye. On the way back to the hotel, Li Kaiyuan looked at Chen Chong and said with a smile: "A Chong, others say you are the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, but I feel more and more that you are not like the God of Wealth, you are more like another god."

"Which god?"

"Birthday star."

"Ah?" Chen Chong asked in surprise, "How do you say this?"

"There is a saying that the birthday boy plans to plan - a scheming and scheming." Li Kaiyuan said: "Others make movies, just make movies, but when you make movies, you have to make all kinds of tricks. If you don't make movies, what is it?"

After she finished speaking, she touched Chen Chong's forehead with her hand and said, "Don't think too much in the future, otherwise she will not look good if she is young and has head-up patterns."
