Since 1983

Gough Street, Central, Jiu Kee Beef Brisket.

The shop is small and out of the way, with short business hours, and only sells beef brisket. But when Xu Fei came in, he felt the heat wave from the crowd rushing towards his face, and the business was booming.

At the third table by the door, two men sat there.

Half an hour ago, Xu Fei called Liang Jiahui and said he would have noodles with Leslie Cheung. It's like inviting a friend to dinner, and the friend is having dinner with another friend, so he invites the friend of the friend to eat together.

"Mr. Xu, I've heard about you a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be so handsome!"

Leslie Cheung stood up, speaking fluent Mandarin without any formality.

"What do you mean, do they say I'm not handsome?"

"Hey, I've always praised you for being handsome. Maybe it was Maggie, or Teacher Ge."

Liang Jiahui quickly cleared up and invited him to a seat: "Braised beef brisket, curry beef brisket, clean beef brisket, order yourself!"

Xu Fei looked at the menu and found it was poor. He ordered stewed beef brisket noodles, oyster sauce lettuce, and a cup of frozen milk tea... oyster sauce lettuce, literally.

"Do you often come here to eat?"

"Come here often, you have to occupy a seat here, otherwise Alan Tam will grab me." Leslie Cheung played his own meme.

"Ha, what Mr. Zhang said is interesting."

"Mr. Zhang..."

Liang Jiahui said happily: "Generally, he is called brother. I haven't heard such an official name for a long time."

"Then I'm Leslie, don't you mind?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just the name."

Xu Fei has been wearing it for so long, and it is the first time to communicate with Leslie Cheung.

He is of medium height, with dark skin, and looks very young at the age of 43, especially in his eyes. This is a mythical figure, just like Wong Ka Kui, but their achievements cannot be denied.

In fact, Leslie Cheung's public opinion in Hong Kong has always been in a bad situation, and his sexual orientation has been ridiculed from time to time, especially after he made public statements.

Not long after, the food arrived.

"I have admired the great name for a long time, and replaced wine with tea."

Xu Fei touched him with iced milk tea and said with a smile, "Although it's the first time we met, I'm not unfamiliar. "Farewell My Concubine", "Feng Yue" and "Red Lover" have all been screened in the Mainland."

"Have you seen it all?"

"Of course, I'm curious why you take so many mainland movies?"

"It feels different. The style of mainland China is completely different from that of Hong Kong. If I hadn't done much in the early years, now I know how to make some choices and shoot more excellent works."

"This is called an old artist."

"Hey, don't listen to him. He is the best, the best, how to say that word..."

Liang Jiahui gestured with his hands and said: "Fudge, he is the best at fooling people! Let me tell you, Teacher Xu has no profit and can't get up early. I don't believe that he simply came to have a meal."

"Tsk, am I such a vulgar person?"

Xu Fei was unhappy, and retorted: "Am I here to eat to invite him to film? At least not this year."

"Ha, you are interesting! Maggie and Jiahui both said that you are super capable."

"Then there is an opportunity to cooperate."

"OK."

Both of them finished eating, so they specially stayed with them for a while, Teacher Xu was too embarrassed to sit longer after eating, and shook hands to end the game.

Back to the hotel.

Xu Fei washed and took a shower, lay on the bed and watched TV, recalling Leslie Cheung's state in his mind, feeling pretty good, very suitable for the protagonist of his new plan.

Not "A World Without Thieves", which has already set Liang Jiahui.

……………………

On November 10, Laomei's delegation arrived in Beijing.

It was originally scheduled to end in two days, but it dragged on for six days.

November 15, afternoon.

It is winter in Beijing, and the climate is cold. When Leader Tian came out of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation building on East Chang'an Avenue, his expression was slightly tragic. As the person in charge of the competent unit, he participated in the signing process of the film project.

Five years ago, he started to bring in 10 Hollywood blockbusters, but the situation was different.

At that time, in order to reform and stimulate the market, now it is a confrontation between the two countries. Every move and every word carries a plan for the next few decades.

Forced to make concessions, the four words are simple and full of humiliation.

"Old Tian, ​​what should we do next?"

"Organize learning, research policies, and issue documents for implementation next year."

"But this clause..."

"It's a fact, what else is there to say? Let the people discuss it, don't they like holding seminars?"

Leader Tian got into the car, and the people with him were worried and sighed: "The Chinese film market will change its surname."

...

China Film.

The two masters waited anxiously.

"It's out! The press release is out!"

A man broke into the house holding a newspaper, Wu Mengchen quickly took it over, and took a look:

"On November 15th, the two parties signed the xxx bilateral agreement.

This negotiation is not only of commercial importance, but also very important to the development of the global economy, and has far-reaching strategic significance..."

"Oh, I didn't want to watch this! What about the movie?" Old Wu asked anxiously.

"Here we come! The internal notice just issued by Radio and Television!"

Another person ran in, Lao Wu and Han Sanping watched together:

"Foreign capital is allowed to enter China's film projection industry and build, renovate or operate theaters under the condition that the shareholding does not exceed 49%.

20 import ledgers are allowed per year. "

"..."

After a moment of silence, Han Sanping shook his head: "20 films, doubled! Can we have 10 films a year, oh no, 5 competitive films?"

"Sure enough, theaters are also liberalized. Fortunately, foreign capital is not allowed to control, otherwise our necks will be stuck."

Wu Mengchen also sighed, and asked, "Has Xu Fei come back?"

"Just came back from Hong Kong."

...

In the absence of official prohibition, certain news quickly spread among the public.

There was an uproar in the film industry, one seminar after another, and the newspapers were full of articles, with the theme: "How should the film industry deal with the WTO?"

"This move is tantamount to leading a wolf into a house, and its consequences will directly lead to the complete destruction of Chinese films!

Where will the foreign wolves bite?

I think the first is to use foreign films to seize China's movie theaters and audio-visual products, forcing the Chinese film production industry to die;

The second is to invest in the renovation and construction of high-end cinemas, import foreign theater management models and experience, and control the projection industry;

The third is that foreign producers invest in Chinese films or co-produce films with China, which leads to the decline of Chinese national films.

No matter what, the film market will eventually be changed to "foreign" surname! "

Many of them are pessimistic, indignant, and powerless, but there are also many enthusiastic, positive, and expectant people.

The two sides are clearly divided:

"At that time, I didn't have a job yet, "The Fugitive" was released in the city where I went to school, it was like a festival, and there was a long-lost promotional car with its tweeter on, yelling back and forth on the street.

You can't help but feel itchy, even if you are ashamed, you have to squeeze out a ticket, sit in an uncomfortable movie theater and enjoy a big meal made by the movie kingdom of today's world.

The result was stunned and shocked. The movie can be made like this, so it is natural to follow the next one, and the next one...

Now I am a reporter, and I also watched the big boat last year.

I sincerely cheer and support this decision. Films have no borders. From now on, we can enjoy more and more fruitful achievements of modern film art at the same time as the world.

We ended the history of being second-class viewers! "
