    Zhang Aijia's skill in making noodles is really good. After several people tasted it, they all praised it.  "When you praise someone, you have to praise the right thing. You guys haven't even hit the point." In his previous life, Shen Chong ran around doing business and ate a lot of local delicacies. He stirred the noodles in the bowl with his chopsticks and said:  "Zhajiang noodles are available in many places, including Shandong, Hebei, and Guangdong. Among them, Beijing is the most famous. However, Shanxi is known as the best pasta in the world. Zhajiang noodles are naturally unique. They pay attention to sauce, noodles, and meat.  Regardless of the family, the minced meat is wrapped in sauce, and the sauce is wrapped in noodles. The noodles are evenly distributed and taste delicious. " "You are just a glutton." Zhang Aijia rolled her eyes at him with a smile and said, "But you are really good.  You're right, that's what my grandparents said when I was studying in the past. ""That's it. Why is it different from what I had in Beijing last time?" Lily suddenly said, "The sauce in Beijing is very thick.  , and the diced meat is larger and has skin on it. Sister Zhang¡¯s is thinner and smaller, but it is still very fragrant and delicious. "Mr. Shen is indeed a great talent," Chen Kunhou said with a smile.  : "I am well-informed, and I remember everything well. Now I have learned a lot." "I don't know anything else, but I know how to eat and drink." Shen Chong ate the noodles in a hurry and said, "It's just a waste of money." Zhang Aijia was dissatisfied.  He used etiquette and said: "Pay attention to your image." "We are all friends, what kind of image do you want?" Shen Chong raised his head and looked at everyone, and said: "Eating noodles is delicious only if they are hearty. Don't be polite, eat quickly. If  Worried about image issues, after we ate, we signed a confidentiality contract, and whoever told the truth would be fined." Everyone in the house laughed, and the originally restrained atmosphere became much more relaxed.  After Shen Chong traveled through time, he was used to giving orders and had a certain magnanimity. Coupled with his legendary experience, massive wealth, and all kinds of bizarre rumors, he had an aura of inscrutability, let alone his peers.  A veteran in the workplace who was in his forties or fifties did not dare to show off in front of him, so wherever he went, he would always make harmless jokes to eliminate this sense of alienation, otherwise he would never make friends in his life.  "Have you found a song that suits you?" "I've been searching for a day, but I haven't found anything that suits me." Leslie Cheung looked at Shen Chong and said, "Mr. Shen said he planned to write one." Zhang Aijia was pleasantly surprised and immediately asked: "Really?"  "Didn't you say that I have stopped writing?" "I also said that I exercise every day and run ten miles every day." Shen Chong said with a smile, "Actually, I have exhausted my talents. Maybe you can't even read what I wrote."  "Come on." "Eat quickly," Zhang Aijia urged, "Go and write as soon as you finish eating." "How can you be so anxious? Let me see the samples you took first." Shen Chong said.  : "Besides, you should write songs just like writing reports. You can write as long as you want." "Don't you make a poem in three steps or a song in seven steps?" "You also need to have emotions when writing songs, and you have to express your feelings.  Shen Chong was confused and said: "Cao Zhi also wrote a poem in seven steps with a knife on his neck. Now I am facing a bowl of delicious noodles, even if I walk a hundred steps, my mouth will water. " Lily eats.  And laughing, he almost spit out the noodles, which made everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was completely improved.  Shen Chong was really unfussy. He ate the noodles in one go and then sat there contentedly, eating fruit salad with a spoon and started chatting with each other.  "." He first asked Leslie Cheung and said, "Has Li's TV answered your contract question?" "Yes, they agreed to sign the contract step by step." Leslie Cheung put down his chopsticks very gentlemanly and said with a smile:  "I followed Mr. Shen's suggestion and signed three TV series with them." "That's good." Shen Chong nodded and said, "It will be good for you to take it easy on the department and not have to deal with those messy activities."  Leslie Cheung signed a three-year contract with Li TV in the May 1977 issue, which expired in May 19RU. If Shen Chong had not been there, he would have renewed the contract for two years. But when Shen Chong appeared, things naturally changed -  - Shen Chong suggested that he sign a head contract with Li's TV.  "Signing a head-to-head contract gives you greater flexibility. You can act in TV series when there are TV series, and you can also act in movies when there are no TV series. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.  Leslie Cheung is only 19 years old in 19RU. His acting skills cannot be said to be immature, but they are not very good either. He needs opportunities to practice. Although Oriental Charm plans to produce a few movies this year, there may not be roles suitable for him. Besides, there are risks in the movie market.  Big, if he fails at the box office and carries the label of "box office poison", it will be detrimental to his future development, so he might as well act in a few more TV series and steadily hone his acting skills.  Because the role suited his own image, Leslie Cheung made an eye-catching performance in Lai TV's big drama "Six Tribulations" at the beginning of the year. His acting skills were recognized by the media. He also made a blockbuster appearance at the Academy Awards ceremony, showing a strong upward momentum, which has a great impact on Lai TV.  Although there is no precedent for this contract, and it is not binding enough, it is still better than letting Leslie Cheung go to H or Jiayi Electronics.?.  After Shen Chong asked Leslie Cheung, he changed the subject and said, "Sister Qingxia, after the filming of this movie, are you willing to sign a long-term contract with my company?" "Huh? Me?" Brigitte Lin was a little flustered and hesitated.  I said, "My mother signed all my contracts for me." "Oh, that's it." Shen Chong said with a smile, "For example, if you give me your aunt's phone number, I can talk to her?" "No need."  No, I'll call her and ask her sometime, and then I'll tell you." Shen Chong wanted to continue asking, but Zhang Aijia patted him and complained: "How can a master like you not let me talk about business at the dinner table?  When you're done eating, go away and let others lose their appetite." "Okay, okay, I'm leaving." Shen Chong stood up and said, "Everyone, please wait. I'll go upstairs first.  "Look at the package." The package sent from Hong Kong contained newspaper clippings made by Qiu Siyu, which were excerpts from major media reports on the film in the recent period. She carefully divided these contents into three categories.  , made an index.  One type is gossip. For example, after the awards ceremony, "Popular Film" published an "Academy Awards Supplement", which sold more than 5 million copies because it used a photo of Chen Chong wearing a white dress and holding a trophy on the cover.  As it turned out, it wasn¡¯t May yet, and the white skirts and white cloths in supply and marketing cooperatives in many cities in the mainland were out of stock For example, the commentator who received the invitation got the nickname "rat strong" because of the word "strong" in his name.  For example, the hot pot restaurant where Parker and Hepburn dined was full, and some media were already speculating about who would be invited to present the awards next time.  One category is industry news, such as the China Film Distribution and Projection Company is planning to launch "Movie Pictorial"; the Beijing Film Studio is preparing to launch "Beijing Film Pictorial"; Li Hanxiang is spending huge sums of money to build a set at Shaw Brothers Studios to film the Qianlong Emperor; Jin Yong  The adaptation rights of "Flying Fox" were sold to Chang Cheh at a friendly price of one Hong Kong dollar; Tsui Hark's new film "No Gate to Hell" failed again at the box office; Wong Jing was named the "King of Kuaishou" and made the first film in August last year  After the first movie, by May this year, 5 movies were shot in 9 months, with a cumulative box office of more than 20 million The last category is all about Zhao Dan, which is also the news that Shen Chong is most concerned about.  The media in the three places had mixed reactions to Zhao Dan¡¯s remarks. The Hong Kong media watched the fire from afar. Although there were many discussions and chatter, there was no depth. They were just scratching the surface and just trying to have fun.  The Taiwanese media were uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. They neither used the topic to attack the mainland nor criticized themselves. They kept a very low profile. I don¡¯t know whether it was because they were frightened by the "Beautiful Island" incident and were afraid of the "Beautiful Island" incident, or because of the recent delicate cross-strait relations and the pressure exerted by senior officials.  .  Contrary to the Taiwanese media, the mainland media is very active. The number of media involved and the wide scope made Shen Chong stunned.  Several editors-in-chief of "Popular Cinema" came to Hong Kong to attend the award ceremony and also participated in the seminar for filmmakers from across the Taiwan Strait and the three places. They were greatly shocked. Shen Chong also had ulterior motives and provided a large number of movies from all over the world for free.  Information on legislation and film classification, so the April issue of Popular Cinema not only published the full text of Zhao Dan's speech, but also attached a long editor's note titled "Standardizing and Legalizing the Film System",  Unequivocally support film legislation.  Each issue of "Popular Cinema" sells up to six to seven million copies, and its influence spreads all over the country. During the turmoil, most intellectuals were affected, and they still feel the pain. Therefore, Zhao Dan's remarks immediately aroused a nationwide discussion, except for  In addition to professional film publications such as "Popular Cinema" and "Film Art", by the end of April, even major national newspapers such as "Guangming Daily", "Economic Daily", and "Xinmin Evening News" were involved.  Among all the reports, Shen Chong paid most attention to two articles. One was a signed article published by Wang Yang in "Film Art" sponsored by the China Film Association. He mentioned what Shen Chong said at the celebration dinner: "Film and  I took the metaphor of "fish farming" and wrote a discussion of several thousand words. The main point was that fish farming requires dams, so the government should legislate for movies, and the fish, including sharks and goldfish, need to be separated with fishing nets, so the movie  It should be classified The article is not many words, but it is very important. Wang Yang has been running the Beijing Film Studio for more than 20 years. He is a person who can directly talk to the Ministry of Culture or the Minister of the Central Propaganda Department. His status in the mainland film industry is like that of later generations.  Han Sanping, and he and Xia Yan are life and death friends, so his article is of great significance.  "The other article is a letter from a reader published in Guangming Daily. This letter was not written by an individual, but by a crew of the Emei Film Studio.  This crew is filming a movie called "Inside and Out of the Court". According to the introduction in the letter, the plot of the movie is as follows: Xu Dahuai, the driver of Director Xia of the Wenquan Revolutionary Committee, drove drunk and hit and killed the female gymnast Jiang Yanyan.  During the investigation, the female president of the court discovered that this was a rape and murder case covered up under the illusion of a "traffic accident". The real murderer was Director Xia's son Xia Huan, who was insulting the female youth.After killing Tang Xiaosu and forcing her to commit suicide, she attempted to rape Jiang Yanyan. After the rape attempt failed, she drove her car to death. Afterwards, Xia Huan's mother, Liu Rulian, deputy director of the Municipal Materials Bureau, relied on her husband's power to bribe, win over, threaten,  He used deception and other means to create a "scapegoat" to take the blame for his son.  In the end, the female dean withstood resistance and pressure from all sides and sentenced the murderer Xia Huan to death in the solemn court.  However, not long after the filming of this drama started, they were suddenly ordered to "suspend production activities" because the relevant leaders believed that "the lawlessness of higher-ranking children is a minority", "it is not typical for officials to protect each other", "the story time must be pushed to 197U years ago", "the perpetrator's father should  Written as 'Gang of Four, people on the line' At the end of this letter, he gave a rhetorical question: 'If there is no legislation, will the film studio be a state-owned unit that makes movies for the people, or will it make movies for relevant leaders?  "This is the real bomb." Shen Chong put the clipping down, stood up and said to himself, "I have to drink a glass of wine for this sentence."
