1979 Golden Age
#866 - In a foreign land
That evening.
Chen Qi returned home and opened the music card directly.
It's shockingly simple, with only batteries and a small circuit board.
"This thing is sold for 30 Hong Kong dollars? It's really easy money."
He played with it for a while, put the card in the drawer, and sighed, "There are markets all over the street, and you can see them everywhere. How can Huake lose more than 100 million? It's amazing!"
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, the country established three electronics companies in Hong Kong through various means: Huake, Aika, and Xinghua.

Icar was owned by the Rong family and has been sold to an American company; Xinghua was owned by the Li family, namely the Li Hysan family. Only Huake was jointly owned by the Ministry of Aerospace and China Resources.
So Chen Qi just kept his eyes on Huake, hoping that China Resources would take over the company as soon as possible.
After tinkering with the greeting card, he sat down to write the script for "Rain Man" and finished it quickly.
"Rain Man" won awards and had strong box office performance, but it was expensive, and Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise's salaries accounted for a lot of it. He wanted to co-invest with Columbia, but he had to study it carefully to avoid being cheated.
Tsui Hark is currently filming A Chinese Ghost Story, and Black Mask 2 will have to wait, and it is unlikely to be released next year. In addition, a Hollywood company has indeed sent Li Lianjie a cooperation intention, so all these need to be discussed.
There is no need for a second Happy Death Day movie.
So all in all, there will only be one "Rain Man" and Gong Xue's movie next year.
In the afternoon, a film was being shot in a studio in Colombia.
Zhang Yi and several others were allowed to watch, each with their own focus. Zhang Yi focused on photography techniques, including how to arrange the lighting, which was indeed different from what is done in China. Their English was not very good, so they communicated through translators, but fortunately they were all motivated and motivated.
I have been here for almost half a month. I can now take the bus independently, buy some things at the convenience store, and stroll around the street.
After half a day, the crew took a break.
Several people took the opportunity to ask some questions, but the crew didn't care. However, this was a company task, so they had to communicate with them. Gong Xue quietly came in from outside and watched for a while.
Her curriculum is different.
I have a half-day acting class every day, and then I listen to the Hollywood movie production process with Zhang Yi and others. The rest of the time is spent experiencing life, such as constantly talking to various people in English, observing the characteristics of office workers, and communicating with local Chinese people...
"Are you all right?"
she asked quietly.
"Almost done, anything?"
"Let's go back early today. Xiaoji and the others are coming."
"A small plan?"
Several people were stunned, Oh, Ji Chunhua!
They are not very familiar with each other, but when they meet in the United States, they can kowtow to each other and recognize each other as relatives on the spot.
After a day of study, they returned to their residence around 6pm. Gong Xue and Li Jianqun ran into their house, which was in a mess, with clothes scattered around and a piece of bread on the kitchen chopping board.
Several old men living together were in a very rough situation, and they took turns doing everything, including cooking.
At first, everyone was trying to cook, make noodles and dumplings, but they soon gave up and followed the local customs and started eating dry bread.
Just spread some butter and it’s a meal.
Once, He Qun was supposed to make breakfast, but he didn't get up. Everyone was hungry that day, and they had a quarrel. Being far away in a foreign country, their emotions were not stable, and there were constant frictions among them.
Gong Xue holds summary meetings twice a week, where she talks about her thoughts on study and life, and solves everyone's psychological problems in a timely manner like a political commissar.
Gong Xue asked them to clean up. Just as they finished cleaning, they heard the doorbell ring.
“Here it comes!”
Zhang Yi went over to open the door, revealing Ji Chunhua's big bald head.
"A little trick!"
"Lao Zhang! Hahaha!"
The two embraced each other warmly, reluctant to part. Ji Chunhua was carrying a lot of things and waved: "Come in, come in... We knew you were coming, but we couldn't get away, so we came to take a look today during our break."
"How is it? Are you getting used to it?"
"Hello, Sister Xue!"
Sun Jiankui and Xiong Xinxin followed behind, also carrying a lot of things, and called out for help in unison.
"Well, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Gong Xue rummaged through the bag and said with a smile, "Eggs! Ham! Steak! Flour! Greens. Wow, you did a good job. You saved them. They've been eating bread for a week."
"Aren't you cooking?" Ji Chunhua asked.
"We are willing to do it. Who can we blame for their laziness? We each live our own lives."
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is a great joy in life. The house suddenly became lively and everyone was very happy. On such occasions, it is natural to make dumplings together!
Immediately, some people were kneading the dough, and some people were making stuffing.
Ji Chunhua and his companions were beaming with joy. They boasted, "Your meals are not good, but ours are. Fox provided us with a very good working meal, including barbecue, pasta, ice cream, rice, chicken legs... Ouch!"
"Aren't you in Columbia?" He Qun asked.
"I'm done with that, and now I'm doing training for Fox's Speed. After that, I'll go back to Hong Kong for a month, and then come back to officially shoot Con Air. I won't be able to spend the Spring Festival at home."
"That's great! We can't go home either, so we can live together." Zhang Junzhao said.
"Are we the Eastern Company's American detachment?"
"Of course! Mr. Chen is expanding into the United States. This will be our long-term base, the Los Angeles branch. In fact, we have people now. If you have any questions, just contact Focus Features. We are the major shareholder of the company, and there are several people dispatched from Hong Kong... Do you want their phone numbers?"
“Yes!”
Ji Chunhua imparted his experience with the attitude of an old senior. Zhang Yimou and others nodded repeatedly, and He Qun even took notes in a small notebook.
Gong Xue smiled and made dumplings without saying anything, only looking at the wall clock from time to time. Li Jianqun saw this, rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "When will he arrive?"
"How do you know?"
"You're so obvious!"
"I call this obvious? It shows how smart you are, right?"
Gong Xue tapped her head and whispered, "Around nine o'clock. Don't tell anyone. Give everyone a surprise."
…
After wrapping the dumplings, I made a few simple dishes.
I went out to buy some beer and set up a table that looked rich, but in fact, there were few hot dishes - it seems illegal for Americans to eat hot food...
“Ouch!”
"After half a month here, I finally had a decent meal."
He Qun rubbed his hands together, couldn't help but put a dumpling in his mouth, nodded and said: "You know what, it tastes like Chinese New Year, it's not Chinese New Year, but it's better than Chinese New Year."
Gong Xue didn't want to reveal anything, nor did she want to wait and spoil the fun, so she followed everyone's wishes and started eating.
He opened a few cans of wine and paid more and more attention to the time.
After eating for about ten minutes, they finally heard the doorbell ring. Gong Xue said with a smile, "Who would come so late at night? Are they here to cause trouble? Go and have a look with a fierce look on your face, little Ji!"
"Okay!"
Ji Chunhua touched his bald head, opened the door, and thrust out that big face that could stop a baby from crying at night in America. Before he could say anything, he was slapped in the face.
"What the hell are you doing? Is this Halloween?"
“Get out of the way!”
“Ssss!”
"Teacher Chen?!"
Everyone in the room stood up at once, surprised and delighted. It was the beloved comrade Chen Qi, as well as Jiang Zhiqiang, Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang.
(I feel sick, no more...)
