1979 Golden Age

Chen Qi cannot always rely on Hong Kong directors to lead the charge, the mainland must also keep up.

He wanted to do too many things, and what he needed was not a creative team, but a corps of people with a large number of talents in various fields. He reported the idea of ​​sending people for further study to Leader Zhu, and as usual, he had to hold a meeting to discuss it.

But it's not a big problem because the company pays for it out of its own pocket.

He returned to Beijing and stayed there for two months, but then had to leave again.

Zhuangzhuang got familiar with him again, and cried loudly, oh my! The old father's heart! Thanks to the mother-in-law who coaxed the child, the couple went to the airport, and Gong Xue was there to see him off.

In 1986, more and more people were flying.

There are more and more people on international flights. Chinese people going abroad and foreigners visiting China can often see blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners. However, the famous nude painting is still covered up and will not be unveiled until the Asian Games.

"If everything goes well, it can be launched in the fall, and you can be included in it. You and Jianqun are on a short-term basis, unlike them."

"This film will definitely be finished next year, so let's study the details later."

"Well! Don't get too tired. There's always work to do."

Gong Xue hugged him in front of everyone, but she didn't dare to kiss him. These days, it's considered hooliganism for a couple to kiss in public.

Chen Qi took Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang on the plane, sat down, closed his eyes, and immediately began to catch up on his sleep. He had long been accustomed to this lifestyle, returning home once a summer and once during the Spring Festival, traveling all over the country.

I stayed in Shanghai for a day, brought some things to Gong Xue's father, and visited the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

Two months was enough time for them to draw the first batch of image designs.

After reading it, Chen Qi rejected it all.

Po must be a little bit naive, a little bit reckless, a little bit silly, a little bit cute, and a little bit smart, all of which must be shown. However, the design of Shanghai Animation Film Studio is not delicate enough, and the expression is monotonous, or even stereotyped.

It has to do with cost and habit.

Many works of Shanghai Animation Film Studio have a strong opera style, which is characterized by fixed points, stylization, and rigidity. It takes both energy and money to draw delicate expressions, and they are not used to being extravagant.

Chen Qi emphasized once again that you should put all your worries behind you and just strive to produce world-class work, and he will take care of the rest.

………………

“Huahuahua!”

“Huahuahua!”

At the Nanhua Theatre, Tsui Hark, Li Lianjie, Josephine Siao, Patricia Chow and others were taking their curtain calls. This was the roadshow of Black Mask.

The movie came back from Cannes and will be released in Hong Kong during the summer vacation.

The original Black Mask was not well received by the Hong Kong market, earning only over 10 million at the box office, but it was a big hit overseas, with North American box office sales of 12.5 million US dollars and global box office sales of 23.62 million US dollars.

The videotape was the most impressive, grossing $17.47 million in North America alone.

This kind of modern action movie is not to the taste of Hong Kong people, they like Cheng Long's life-threatening action movies. But now "Black Mask" has been transformed, with a mature superhero template and big scenes, which has been upgraded to several levels.

It was the first time that the audience saw such a huge explosion in a Hong Kong movie, and they were all stunned.

After watching it, they gave a warm round of applause from the bottom of their hearts.

"Thank you! That's all for today's meeting! Thank you everyone!"

Everyone bowed and walked off the stage, all breathing a sigh of relief. Today was the last road show. Tsui Hark said, "It's still early. How about I host you all and have a drink?"

"Okay, okay!"

"Can I drink?" Zhou Huimin asked.

"Of course you can drink when you're 19."

"But I'm afraid my mother will scold me!"

"Then ask your mother to come along!" Xiao Fangfang said with a smile.

Li Lianjie, who was quite active before, was uncharacteristically active and said, "I still have to rehearse for ATV, so I won't go."

He got into the car and drove away without waiting for Tsui Hark to try to stop him. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

Li Lianjie rushed to the ATV headquarters at lightning speed and entered the largest studio, just in time to see the contestants walking on the stage in their swimsuits.

Li Zhi had long hair and a white outfit. She saw him but her face was expressionless. Li Lianjie was too embarrassed to stare at him and sat in the guest seat - he was going to perform Kung Fu.

After rehearsing for a long time, it was finally time for a break.

Li Lianjie scratched his head, then reluctantly moved closer and said, "Miss Lizhi!"

"Mr. Li, what's the matter?"

"Tomorrow is the final, I hope you do your best and get good results!"

"Thank you! With your blessing, I will!" Lizhi smiled, her attitude was natural and a little enthusiastic, quite like a female anchor on Tik Tok who saw a level 50 brother entering the live broadcast room.

"Then I won't bother you anymore!"

Li Lianjie originally wanted to invite her to dinner, but after thinking about it, he thought he probably didn't have time, so he gave up.

He attended several rehearsals and had noticed this Shanghai girl a long time ago. First of all, she had an outstanding appearance. He took the opportunity to chat with her. He found that she was well-spoken and had studied in the United States, so he had a good impression of her - she was completely different from Huang Qiuyan.

It's a heart-pounding feeling!

Li Zhi was not repulsive or cold to him, which made Li Lianjie even more eager to pursue her.

That's right, pursuit! It's very popular in Hong Kong. I'm very famous, but I've never had a serious relationship. I guess she has a good impression of me.

"OK!"

"Continue rehearsing and gather on stage!"

After a short break, Lizhi went on stage again. While performing, she glanced at Li Lianjie a few times. Seeing him looking at her infatuatedly, she couldn't help feeling a little proud.

She is from Shanghai. Her parents divorced when she was three years old and she lived with her grandmother. She moved to Hong Kong with her father in 1981, went to the United States to study in 1983, participated in the Miss Asia pageant in 1986, and met Li Lianjie in 1989 when she was filming "Dragon in the Sky" - Stephen Chow also appeared in this film. Yes, Li Lianjie and Stephen Chow have worked together.

After Li Lianjie divorced, she retired from the film industry in 1992.

He debuted in 1986, but in just 6 years, he left a lasting reputation.

Lizhi's life journey is simple.

She just wanted to make a name for herself, but she couldn't do it on her own, so she found a man. At first, she hooked up with Stanley Ho, but she wanted to be his concubine, but she failed, and then she met Li Lianjie. When they met, they were both at a low point, and it seemed like mainlanders were banding together for warmth.

Li Lianjie soon became popular again with "Once Upon a Time in China" and had a bright future.

Li Zhi actually saw it very clearly, no one looked down on her, she was always discriminated against and bullied in the Hong Kong circle, so she retired very decisively. Although these two people have many black spots, there has been no scandal after they got together, and they have been very stable.

Now, Li Lianjie is much more famous than before.

But Lizhi had just participated in the Miss Asia pageant and had not yet experienced the harsh treatment from the Hong Kong circle. She would be even more proud after winning the championship. It was unknown whether she would be attracted to him.
