Xiangjiang Film and Television Department, the full name is Xiangjiang Film and Entertainment Affairs Management Office, later merged with the Telecommunications Authority and became the Xiangjiang Communications Administration.

  Chu Huan came here, led by the management staff, came to the meeting room, and then Chu Huan met Shao Yifu of the Shaw Brothers.

   "Mr. Chu, please wait a moment with Mr. Shao, our Director will be here soon!"

   After waiting for Chu Huan to sit down, the management personnel smiled and preached to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan nodded and said nothing.

   After the staff from the film and television department left, Shao Yifu said to Chu Huan: "Ah Huan, the other party is not kind to the visitor this time, I'm afraid they will do something to you!"

Chu Huan sat there, and said relaxedly: "Uncle Six, they invited both of us this time. Obviously, the other party not only has ideas about our black and white images, but also your Shaw Brothers. Have an idea!"

  Shao Yifu raised his forehead slightly. If the other party only saw Chu Huan alone, then he was only targeting black and white images. Now that he has invited himself, it is obvious that they are targeting the entire Xiangjiang movie.

  At this time, the Shaw Brothers can represent the entire Xiangjiang film industry with black and white images.

   "I heard that Li's TV is not very peaceful recently, A Huan, do you have any thoughts?"

Now that the director of the film and television department has not come here, they don't know what kind of means the other party wants to use against them. It is useless to guess out of thin air, so in the end, they still focus on what they already know on.

   But Shao Yifu knew about this, and Chu Huan didn't know the situation of Li's TV very well.

   "Li's TV? What happened to them?" Chu Huan asked.

Shao Yifu said: "The situation of the five Huang Wenhui newspapers yesterday, and now the media industry in Xiangjiang has spread. Huang Xizhao of Li's TV is worried that you will cut them on the head again, so I regret that Li's TV before. The show you did, but as you know, Huang Xizhao did not decide on Li's TV alone, and Huang Xizhao did not operate the previous incident."

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Uncle Six, you suddenly became a lobbyist for Huang Xizhao, which made it difficult for me to accept for a while!"

What Shao Yifu just told Chu Huan was obviously interceding for Huang Xizhao, but Shao Yifu is also a shareholder of TVB, and the later reports about TVB falling in love with Li TV and its successor, ATV, made Chu Huan Huan felt that Shao Yifu's intercession was a bit dreamy at this time.

In other words, after Lai’s TV was acquired by Qiu Deba and renamed Asia TV, Huang Xizhao re-entered Shandong to control Asia TV. "Book and Sword Enmity Record" starring Qiu Guan and Zhao Yazhi is hard to resist.

  In the end, he had no choice but to resort to an outside trick, and bought the leading actor of "The Change of the Silkworm", making him disappear for a period of time, resulting in the disappearance of the lead actor of "The Change of the Silkworm", which was filmed and broadcast at the time.

   This slightly recovered some losses.

   At that time, Shao Yifu could say that he hated Huang Xizhao so much, but he didn't expect that Shao Yifu would intercede for Huang Xizhao today.

   After thinking about it briefly, Chu Huan understood the meaning. First of all, at this time, Yifu Shao had not replaced Li Xiaohe in charge of TVB, so there was no real grievance between the two parties.

  Secondly, they are all gangsters in this circle, and they are more or less sympathetic, especially for old people like Shao Yifu.

  Sure enough, Shao Yifu said with a smile: "People have found me, and I can't refuse, so I have to tell you, Ah Huan, what happened!"

But Chu Huan said indifferently: "Uncle Liu, if you talk about other things, I will definitely give you some face, but there is really no way to do this, even though I know what you said Li’s TV’s situation, but Li’s TV is the one doing this after all, as for individuals, dealing with a ghost won’t make them feel any pain.”

Shao Yifu understood that Chu Huan did not intend to let this matter go, but this was also in line with Chu Huan's character. In his heart, Chu Huan was never the kind of person who hit me once and then carefully paid for it. Huan will let the other party go. Chu Huan must make the other party hurt. If it doesn't hurt, it won't last long.

   "I have passed on the word. A Huan, you can decide what you want to do. I'm just giving the other party an explanation!"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, Uncle Six!"

Now that Huang Xizhao found Shao Yifu, no matter what the purpose was, Shao Yifu agreed to help Huang Xizhao pass on what he said to Chu Huan. Now that Shao Yifu has fulfilled his promise, as for whether Chu Huan will talk to Li If your TV is your enemy, then it is not something you can manage.

   "Sorry, sorry, some things were delayed just now, I hope the two bosses don't take offense!"

   Just as Chu Huan and Shao Yifu had just finished talking about Li's TV, David Patterson, director of Xiangjiang Film and Television Department, walked in with a smile on his face.

  Chu Huan and Shao Yifu stood up at the same time, and said with a smile, "Mr. Patterson."

  David Patterson hurriedly said: "Bosses, please sit down, please sit down, I am serving the two bosses, I dare not do this!"

  Xiangjiang is different from his hometown. In his hometown, Xiangjiang Film and Television Department is not as good as that, but just looking at their overlapping responsibilities, it feels that this department is very powerful.

   But in reality, Xiangjiang Film and Television Office has a huge difference in power compared to that of the hometown. If the other party says that it can really set black and white images, and the life and death of the Shaw Brothers, it is a joke.

  Chu Huan and Shao Yifu sat down.

"Mr. Patterson, you invited me and A Huan together. There must be something wrong. We are all old acquaintances. I think it's better to tell the matter straight to the point. After all, we are all very busy. of!"

  Shao Yifu sat there and took the initiative to speak.

  David Patterson said with a smile: "Since Sir Shao has said so, then I will not be polite. This time I invite the two of you to come here. There are two things that I hope to get the support of the two bosses."

   "Please speak!" Chu Huan leaned back on the chair and said with a smile.

  Since the opponent has already started to make moves, let's see what kind of moves the opponent is going to use. This time Chu Huan decided to learn Tai Chi from Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng, and come to strike later!

David Patterson said with a smile on his face: "Thanks to the efforts of the two bosses, Hong Kong Films has become more and more influential in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. In view of this situation, the Hong Kong government has decided to strengthen the management of the film industry. Well, let Xiangjiang movies go out of Xiangjiang and achieve more brilliant box office and influence in Southeast Asia.

  I also hope that Xiangjiang's film industry can be more formalized.

  So, some time ago, many companies were closed due to auditing. In view of the current number of violent movies and SQ movies, a decision was made.

  So today I invited the two of you here, and I want to exchange opinions with you in advance! "

  Looking at the smile on the other party's face, Chu Huan didn't have the slightest smile on his face. David Patterson just said a long paragraph, which was actually nonsense. To extract the real content from it, there are actually two points.

  First, the Hong Kong government wants to increase its management weight in the film industry.

  Second, violence and SQ movies are the focus of rectification.

In today’s film industry in Hong Kong, it can be said that black and white images are setting the rules of the industry. Even if some film companies can be established, they need the nod of black and white images, because without the nod of black and white images, even if their films are shot, There is no theater release, and there is even no way to shoot, because most of the movie stars in Xiangjiang are black and white video artists, and other movie stars need to go to Shanhai theater if they want their movies to get box office. way.

  But now the Hong Kong government is obviously involved, relying on some administrative means to increase its right to speak in this industry, which is actually seizing power in the hands of black and white images!

As for violence and SQ movies, although Chu Huan does not admit that his film company makes such movies, it is undeniable that at this stage, let alone at this stage, in the next few decades, these two Elements are actually the two most indispensable elements of Xiangjiang movies. Without these two elements, Xiangjiang movies will not be complete.

   You must know that even Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi's films have been rated as second-class films by the Xiangjiang Film and Television Department in later generations.

  If Shaw Brothers loses these two elements in black and white images, their profits will actually drop sharply in the primary election.

  Seize power and grab money!

   "It seems that it is really like what I said to Wu Shuhan before, the other party wants to start doing something to me in the media industry!"

  After thinking about all this, Chu Huan asked aloud: "I don't know how the Film and Television Department is going to deal with the situation just mentioned?"

"After research, we are going to refer to the film industry in other cities to come up with a movie rating system. I believe it will be officially launched in a month or so!" David Patterson glanced at Chu Huan and Shao Yifu, Then he smiled and said, "I don't know what the two opinions are?"

  The meaning in the words is to solicit opinions, but the tone is unquestionable. Obviously, the British Hong Kong government believes that the introduction of this grading system is imperative.

  Chu Huan looked at Shao Yifu, Shao Yifu was silent, but he gave Chu Huan a look, which made it clear that this matter was based on Chu Huan's thoughts.

Chu Huan sat there and didn't answer David Patterson's question immediately, but he was still a little surprised by the reaction of the Hong Kong government. He never thought that in order to target black and white images, the other party would set up the film classification system in advance. Out.

  To be honest, if it is simply to introduce a movie rating system, Chu Huan has no objections here.

  Although this can be regarded as putting a shackle on black-and-white movies, the real impact is not very big. The emergence of the Xiangjiang film classification system is not simply to say that Class III movies cannot be shown in theaters.

   It’s just this kind of movie, children are not allowed to enter the cinema to watch it, but they can still be shown on the big screen.

  There is nothing wrong with making Xiangjiang films more standardized in advance.

  However, it depends on when this system was launched. In this period, the Hong Kong government launched this system, which is obviously aimed at black-and-white images.

   After all, the rating of a movie is determined by the Film and Television Department. If they label all black-and-white movies with a grade III label, it will really make the black-and-white movie feel like ecstasy!

   In addition, there is another very important point that Chu Huan cannot ignore

   "So, Director Patterson is actually notifying us of this matter, not asking for our opinion?"

  Chu Huan sat there, tapping on the table lightly, and preaching calmly.

  David Patterson laughed, and said, "Naturally, I'm also asking for your opinions. After all, this formal provision hasn't appeared yet!"

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "But if we don't agree, can't we?"

  David Patterson said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid there is no room for discussion on this matter. After all, the above has already decided, but I think it's okay for the two of you to raise your opinions!"

  Chu Huan said: "Since Director Patterson has made this matter so clear, then we have no objection to the black and white video!"

  As soon as these words came out, David Patterson and Shao Yifu were both stunned. No one thought that Chu Huan would express no opinion on this obviously unfavorable matter of black and white images!

The two also had different reactions to Chu Huan's reaction. Shao Yifu just glanced at Chu Huan quietly, and didn't see a trace of frustration in Chu Huan's eyes. He knew that Chu Huan must have had something to do with this matter. own ideas.

  Since Chu Huan had an idea, Shao Yifu naturally didn't say anything.

The grading system also has an impact on Shaw Brothers' films, but in fact it has little effect. Yifu Shaw understands that this is the suppression of black and white images by the Hong Kong government, and Shaw Brothers will not have any opinions on them. So for Shaw Brothers, in the end, it is actually There is just one more review process.

  David Patterson couldn't help but asked: "Chu really doesn't have any other opinions?"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I would like to have an opinion, but I don't think Director Patterson will necessarily accept my opinion, right?"

  David Patterson gave a dry laugh.

   "If there is nothing else, we will go back first. After all, everyone is really busy at work!" Chu Huan got up and wanted to leave.

  David Patterson hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, since Chairman Chu has no opinion on this matter, I think that Chairman Chu should also have no opinion on another matter."

  Chu Huan did not sit down, looked down at David Patterson and asked, "I wonder if Director Patterson has any surprises for us?"

"It's not a surprise, it's just a small contribution of our film and television department to the Xiangjiang film industry!" David Patterson still said with a smile on his face: "With the growing influence of Xiangjiang films, now the entire Xiangjiang There is only one Golden Image Award, and it is organized by non-governmental organizations. Our Film and Television Department believes that this Golden Image Award cannot represent Xiangjiang’s films, so we decided to cooperate with some experts in the film industry in Xiangjiang to set up a special film festival.

  The two are the leaders in the Hong Kong film industry, so I hope to get the support of the two for this matter! "

Chu Huan laughed. It has been a long time since he laughed like this. The Hong Kong Film Awards was established with the support of "Film Biweekly". The organization cannot represent Xiangjiang Films. This is a direct slap in the face of the Film Awards. In fact, it is also a direct slap in the face of the founder!

   "Then do you know who the expert Director Patterson is talking about?"

David Patterson said with a smile: "It's just right, I invited these experts here today, and asked them to meet with Director Chu and Sir Shao. The next Hong Kong Film Festival will be inseparable from the two. support."

   After speaking, outside the meeting room, three smiling men walked in.

  Seeing these three people, Chu Huan was expressionless, because he didn't know these three people at all, but Shao Yifu's expression changed immediately after seeing the three of them.

   "Director Chu, Sir Shao!"

After the three of them came in, they first greeted David Patterson, and then greeted Chu Huan and Shao Yifu with a smile. There is a little bit of triumphant tsundere expression.

  Chu Huan looked at Shao Yifu and asked directly, "Who are they?"

  The pride and arrogance on the faces of the three people were gone, and instead they were angry expressions.

  Shao Yifu laughed and said: "The three famous film critics in Xiangjiang, Wang Jingyi, Su Weichen, and Ou Jiande!"

  Chu Huan knew why there was no smile on Shao Yifu's face. It turned out to be these three ingredients.

This time, some people in the Hong Kong government really want to carry out the slap in the face to the end. First, they created a movie classification system to seize power and steal money, and now they want to let these three pieces of material that they have directly sprayed before be responsible for Hong Kong movies. This is slapping himself in the face in front of everyone in Xiangjiang.

   And this is no longer slapping himself in the face, and by the way, even Shao Yifu was also slapped in the face.

  Thinking of this, Chu Huan couldn't help looking at Shao Yifu again, when did you have such a big problem with the Hong Kong government?

  Shao Yifu shook his head slightly with a cold face, indicating that he did not.

   "Director Chu, Sir Shao, the establishment of the Xiangjiang Film Festival this time requires a lot of support from the two film companies. Everyone is doing their best for the future development of Xiangjiang Films. The two bosses must be open-minded!"

  Wang Jingyi suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart that Chu Huan expressed that he didn't know him just now, and preached with a smile on his face.

  Chu Huan didn't answer Wang Jingyi's words, but just looked at David Patterson and asked, "Besides this matter, do you know that Director Patterson has other things?"

  David Patterson said with a smile: "No more, no more. The two of you are here today because of these two things."

  Chu Huan continued to ask: "Then how does Director Patterson want us to support this film festival jointly organized by you Xiangjiang Film and Television Department?"

  David Patterson looked at Wang Jingyi. Wang Jingyi was ignored by Chu Huan twice, and the anger in his heart was still burning. But thinking that this matter really needed the support of Chu Huan and Shao Yifu, he preached.

"It's like this. In order to increase the influence of the Hong Kong Film Festival, we hope that Director Chu and Mr. Shao can submit all the films released by their film company this year to our Hong Kong Film Festival Preparatory Committee as participating films after returning today. Just let the other film companies that launched Xiangjiang do the same."

  Chu laughed and said, "Fortunately, I thought Director Patterson wanted us to donate to the film festival!"

   "There is no need to donate money. What our film festival requires is art and fairness. If we accept the donation from Mr. Chu, if the film with black and white images wins the prize, Hong Kong people will inevitably think that our film festival is unfair!"

   Speaking of this, Wang Jingyi still couldn't hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and casually complained: "Although we don't think black and white images, Shaw Brothers movies can win awards!"

  Look, this is the face of a typical villain after he gains power.

  I need your support, but your support is only what we need in the future.

   "Mr. Wang!" David Patterson said: "You can't say that, black and white images, Shaw Brothers are the largest film company in Hong Kong, and there are still some films with strong artistic quality in their films!"

"hehe!"

  Chu Huan smiled indifferently, and said, "So when is the Xiangjiang Film Festival going to start?"

  Wang Jingyi said: "Now we have started preparations, and we can start in about a month. Although this year is a bit rushed, we don't think it will happen next year. It will definitely be unprecedentedly grand!"

"Hehe!" Chu Huan laughed and said to David Patterson: "I already know the matter, since Wang Jingyi needs our black and white images to send up this year's movie, I just go back to the company to prepare for this matter Already!"

   After speaking, Chu Huan walked out of the conference room door of Xiangjiang Film and Television Office, and Shao Yifu followed closely behind.

  Seeing Chu Huan and Shao Yifu leave, the smile on David Patterson's face became brighter and brighter.

   "Hehe, what a difficult person I am to deal with. Under political pressure, don't I have to bow my head?"

  Wang Jingyi complained even more dissatisfied: "There's nothing to be arrogant about. If our film festival didn't need stars to support us, we'd still be talking to him here."

David Patterson said: "Okay, now the three of you can prepare for this matter. Although Chu Huan's black and white images will be suppressed in the future, his film company has always been the largest film company in Xiangjiang. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and their influence must still be there in recent years, so don't go too far!

  If the films of their film company are of that standard, they can also win awards.

  However, this year's film festival will definitely not work! "

  Wang Jingyi smiled and said: "Mr. Director, don't worry, our film festival always pursues artistry, just black-and-white images and Shaw Brothers films. Want to win awards? It's just a joke."

David Patterson nodded in satisfaction, and said: "You guys do a good job at this film festival. I have already contacted Li TV for you. They will broadcast the whole Hongkong Film Festival live in a month. At that time, it will not be possible. Do you know something went wrong?"

   "Don't worry, Mr. Director!"

  Wang Jingyi smiled confidently. At this time, he seemed to have seen the grand occasion of the Hong Kong Film Festival a month later.

   "By the way, your funds will not be a problem, right?"

   David Patterson asked.

   "No problem, the film company of Taiwan Island has sent us the funds for the film festival, and it has to be the Golden Donkey Award of Taiwan Island. If they hadn't helped match the bridge, we would not have been able to raise the funds!"

  Wang Jingyi said with a smile.

  Wang Jingyi and others who found nothing in Xiangjiang looking for funds were really at a loss, but soon they thought of one thing.

That is when Chu Huan founded the Golden Statue Awards in Xiangjiang, in fact, it was to fight against the Golden Donkey Awards for films in Taiwan, so with the attitude of giving it a try, Wang Jingyi flew to Taiwan and found the organizer of the Golden Donkey Awards in Taiwan .

  The organizer of the Taiwan Golden Donkey Awards was immediately excited after hearing Wang Jingyi's understanding of the film. This is the like-minded comrade we are looking for in the Xiangjiang film industry.

  As a result, the Taiwan Golden Donkey Award led to finding a Taiwanese filmmaker who had always wanted to invest in the Xiangjiang film industry.

   It is good to use this to get in touch with filmmakers in Xiangjiang, whether it is a director or an actor, they are all what they need.

  And when Wang Jingyi and others were organizing the Hong Kong Film Festival in Hong Kong, it happened that someone from the Hong Kong government also needed someone to come out to curb Chu Huan's dominance in the Hong Kong film industry, so the two sides also met each other instantly when they saw Mung Bean!

  In the past three months, Wang Jingyi can be said to have lived like a dream. At the beginning, all kinds of things were not smooth, but now everything has become smoother. When he is happy, he can roll a few more times when he goes to bed at night.

Hearing what Wang Jingyi said, David Patterson had nothing to worry about, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I'm here to wish everyone a great success for the Hong Kong Film Festival, and everyone will definitely It has been written into the film history of Hong Kong and has become the guide of Hong Kong films!"

  Wang Jingyi laughed quickly: "Director Patterson is too polite, without your help, we would not be able to succeed."

   "Haha!" David Patterson laughed loudly and said, "Work together, work together!"

.

  On the other side, Shao Yifu who walked out of Xiangjiang Film and Television Office did not get into his own car, but got into Chu Huan's car. There were other people just now, and Shao Yifu was as calm as a mountain.

   But now there were only Chu Huan and him, and Shao Yifu was no longer as calm as before, so he asked Chu Huan.

   "Ah Huan, this time the film and television department obviously came prepared, so we chose to surrender like this?"

  The matter of asking Wang Jingyi and the three to prepare for the Hong Kong Film Festival was not only a slap in the face of Chu Huan, but also a direct slap in the face of Shao Yifu, so Shao Yifu was also very angry at this time.

Sitting in the car, Chu Huan spoke calmly: "Whether it's the film classification system or the Hong Kong Film Festival, the Hong Kong government is obviously determined to hold it, and we can't change their decision now. "

   "Then forget it?" Shao Yifu asked Shen Shengwen.

   "Forget it?" Chu Huan said with a smile: "How is it possible!"

   "A Huan, what can you do?" Shao Yifu asked directly: "This time, we, Shao Brothers, fully support your decision!"

  Chu Huan said: "Uncle Six, the reason why they dare not take you and me to heart is that they think they have the right to speak. Now we have to let them know who has the right to speak!"

"you say!"
