1979 Golden Age

Even the poorest worker in Qingshui Bay would involuntarily straighten his chest when he thought of the company's wealth and reputation!

——Zhou Shuren

…

"Morning, Mr. Chen!"

"Mr. Chen!"

"Yes, yes, the whole Clearwater Bay is cheering your name!"

Gu Weili echoed, and then said sourly: "It's a pity that you never take me with you on such things. Outsiders say that your two assistants: Jiang Zhiqiang is meritorious, but Gu Weili is not! I am the worthless girl!"

"Those who are good at fighting are not famous for their achievements! I know how hard you work, so please report any work you have to do?"

"snort!"

Gu Weili curled her lips, her brain as skillful as a computer file, and said in a series of sentences: "There is a couple of directors who have emerged, Ann Hui and Law Kei-luk. The company has taken a fancy to one of their scripts, "Autumn Fairy Tale", which was filmed entirely in the United States. The cost is not low. Ah Hong really wants to act in it."

"Sure! For the female lead, Ah Hong, and for the male lead, you can choose between Liang Jiahui and Zhang Guorong."

"The zombie universe you planned is coming to an end. The last film, "The Heavenly Master Kills the Demons," will be released at the end of the year, and Lin Zhengying's five-film contract has expired."

"Stop for a while and restart after a few years."

The so-called zombie universe refers to the four solo movies of Uncle Jiu, Taoist Simu, Taoist Qianhe, and Big Brother, plus "The Heavenly Master Kills the Demon" in which the brothers work together to kill the villain.

Mr. Vampire had the best box office of 20 million, and the other films were also OK, all around 13 million. The main reason is that they were well made, and the model of the characters being related to each other is very novel.

But at the same time, there are also a large number of shoddy copycat works that make the audience sick.

After the release of "The Heavenly Master Slays the Demon", Chen Qi stopped making zombie movies for the time being. As for Lin Zhengying, he was invincible in the single-type film track, a second-tier big shot, enough to be rich for a lifetime - unfortunately, he died of cancer at the age of 45.

"Ringdong Lam wanted to film Prison on Fire. His brother wrote the script and chose Anthony Wong and James Leung as the main actors."

"Xian Qiran has planned a film called 'Eight Stars Announce Happiness' and will release it during the Spring Festival!"

"Oh? Who are the actors?" Chen Qile asked.

"Eric Lau, Cherie Chung, Alex Leung, Leslie Cheung, Moon Lee, Yau Shu-chun, Kenny Kwan, and Suet Lau!"

"The last two are a bit of a filler, right?"

"The main focus is on the first three pairs, with a main and secondary order."

"No, no! For this kind of all-star family movie, if the stars are not big enough, the audience will laugh at it. Remove Kwan Lee Kit and Liu Xuehua, and replace them with Kent Cheng and Josephine Siao, and write about a middle-aged couple's love."

"Okay! The other one is A Chinese Ghost Story. I'll join the crew as soon as Director Xu comes back."

"Well, I'll go check it out when I have time. Anything else?"

"Yes, I have!"

Gu Weili suddenly raised her voice and said, "You are so successful in Hollywood. Everyone is so happy that they strongly request a celebration party."

"Is this what everyone thinks, or are you abusing your power for personal gain?"

"Then don't worry about it. I just want to ask you whether you will do it or not?"

"Okay, let's do it! There are more and more people in the company, and I can't recognize them all. Let's invite them all one by one. Oh, and invite those brother companies to have fun together. Don't invite outsiders."

"Can we bring relatives?" Gu Weili asked.

“…”

Chen Qi thought about it and said with a smile: "Everyone has one quota, and you can bring your boyfriend or girlfriend. As the boss, I also need to understand everyone's relationship status."

…………

After the left took over Hong Kong, they held a large-scale New Year's Eve banquet every year. This was a necessary activity, just like the Xinhua News Agency branch, which would pick the best lychees from Lingnan every year when they were ripe and send them to the Governor of Hong Kong and bigwigs from all walks of life.

As soon as Chen Qi returned, he started to spend lavishly and held an extra large banquet.

But no one talked about it. If it were another company, they would be even more extravagant than his and make the news known to the world.

A few days later in the evening, Maxim's Palace.

The leftist reporters waited in advance, catching every celebrity, taking photos and chatting for a while before letting them in. The celebrities were dressed in some formal or casual clothes, all of them were very cooperative, and all praised the boundless power of Xingxiu Old Immortal.

All I saw was the shining stars and luxury cars everywhere at the door.

Like Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Ford, Volkswagen, Citroen, um...

These left-wing stars were very poor and could not make any money in the company for a long time. After Chen Qi killed the Freedom Association, they started to make money by taking on acting jobs. Andy Lau and Cherie Chung had the highest pay and the most luxurious cars, one driving a Ferrari and the other a Mercedes-Benz.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Liang Jiahui has good acting skills, but his box office appeal is not that good, so his pay is moderate. Moon Lee and Yau Shu-chun are young, and have a strong appeal to the youth group, so their pay is about 400,000. Kwan Lee-kit and the like are a little worse.

Cars are cheap in Hong Kong and luxury cars are affordable, but they were obedient and bought real estate based on Chen Qi's advice.

He just drives a Mazda!

Among the older actors, Wu Zhenyu is the youngest one. Taking him as a benchmark, the newcomers who are inferior to him are Lau Ching Wan, Leon Lai, and Sharla Cheung.

Fu Qi and Shi Hui naturally came as well, bringing Fu Mingxian with them.

Fu Mingxian is already 16 years old. She ran around the scene recklessly and no one dared to mess with her. She was even more Guo Fu than Guo Fu.

"Boss, the guests are here!"

Gu Weili suddenly reminded that the so-called guests refer to several sister institutions such as Bank of China, China Resources, China Travel Service, and Xinhua News Agency branch.

Chen Qi came to greet him personally. He had borrowed money from Bank of China and had cooperation with China Resources. He was an old acquaintance with the branch companies. Even if he had no business dealings with the other companies, he had friends in private relationships with them.

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Xiao Chen, you have to save face this time!"

"A small gift is not enough to show respect!"

"Hahaha, Comrade Chen Qi did a great job. He's going to the United States to expand the market!"

He welcomed them one by one, and suddenly took a step forward, and opposite him was Guo Yourong from China Resources. The two of them established a good friendship while discussing the multi-hall theater and comprehensive shopping mall.

When China Resources set up a chain of supermarkets, he also helped with the promotion.

"Old Guo, long time no see!"

"I'm so busy, I'd like to borrow your time to have a drink!"

Chen Qi arranged Guo Yourong to take a seat and looked at the guest list, which should be complete, so the cocktail party began.

The whole audience was silent as they watched him speak on stage:

"I hadn't originally thought of doing it, but everyone kept pushing me to do it, so I thought it would be a good idea to do it, and it would be a good way to have some fun."

Chen Qi didn't say anything clichéd. Today was a family gathering. He said, "The company is growing and there are more and more people. I am happy to see you. The newspapers all said that Black Mask set a record and had so many box office hits, but I think that as a movie invested and produced by a Chinese company, directed by a Chinese director, and starring Chinese actors, Black Mask has greater significance.

I am not exaggerating when I say that I can produce several American films a year. This is also very important, as it can earn me money, fame and status.

But I want to promote the model of Black Mask and let our excellent directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes teams develop more in Hollywood. It's a good start so far, and I hope we can work together to bring our cultural products to the world."
