    The movie Shen Chong is talking about is, of course, "Die Hard." This movie was prepared in December last year, started filming in early January, and shot all the shots in mid-March. It then took two months to do post-production, which lasted as long as  The six-month production cycle is definitely considered to be meticulous in the Hong Kong film industry where "seven days fresh" is popular.  After walking around the small auditorium of the nursing home and checking the structure and projection equipment, Shen Chong smiled and said to Liao Chengzhi: "Fortunately, this is not a professional cinema. Otherwise, I would never show this movie."  "This movie is for you." "What do you mean?" "My movie uses the latest stereo sound technology. If it is shown in a professional cinema, the sound will be very shocking and will put a burden on the heart."  Finding that he could not express the stereo effect in words, he turned to Jing Puchun and said, "Aunt Jing, the walls here do not absorb sound, and the projection equipment does not support stereo, so the sound is the same as that of an ordinary movie, so don't worry." "Then.  "Okay." "In that case, let's start the screening. It doesn't matter that I'm a patient. Secretary Xi is a busy man and can't afford to delay." Liao Chengzhi said to the waiter: "You can tell the projectionist, Xiao Shen, you can move it."  Chair, sit over here. Apu, don¡¯t be nervous. It¡¯s okay to watch a movie. "This is a small auditorium, but it¡¯s actually more like a cultural activity center for the elderly. The seats are not neatly arranged in rows.  They were in groups of five and could move freely. Shen Chong followed his instructions and moved a chair to sit behind the two big men.  At the beginning of the film, as soon as the logo of Oriental Charm was displayed, Liao Chengzhi asked: "Xiao Shen, your movie has not been released in Hong Kong yet?" "No." "Then why did you bring it to Guangzhou?"  "Wealth never returns home, like a night walk in brocade. I finally made a movie that is not inferior to Hollywood in the United States. Of course I want everyone to see it." Shen Chong said half-truth: "I brought this copy to Guangzhou  , is to cooperate with Pearl River Film Studio to do Mandarin dubbing, in order to prepare for the future screening in the mainland through the input and output company. ""It is not inferior to Hollywood, and the tone is not small." Liao Chengzhi smiled and said: "I will preview it tonight.  Take a good look at how you can't lose to Hollywood." "Xiao Shen dares to compete with Americans. This is a good mentality. This is what young people should be like." As he spoke, the opening credits ended and the main film started.  The profession, personality and abilities of the protagonist are explained in minutes. Lamma Island belongs to an undeveloped area of ??Hong Kong, with farmland and huts, similar to the environment in the mainland. Sammo Hung also has a loyal and honest face, and the image of an ordinary low-level person makes the few viewers  There was a strong sense of intimacy, and the two bosses even chatted about the difficult years in those years.  The plot quickly advanced to Christmas. Sammo Hung left Lamma Island and went to Central to meet his childhood sweetheart. At this time, John Woo used a long aerial shot, heading north from Lamma Island, over Victoria Peak, and then had a bird's-eye view of the entire film.  Central, then circled around Victoria Harbor for a while, and finally settled in front of Connaught Building.  "Hong Kong is worthy of being the Pearl of the Orient, with tall buildings and thousands of sailboats competing. It is so prosperous" "Yes, in just twenty or thirty years, it has become more prosperous than Guangzhou. If we don't carry out reform and opening up, we" Mr. Shen Chong  He sat quietly in the back and listened to the two big guys chatting without saying a word. He only said a few words when he was asked.  "Xiao Shen, is this the tallest building in Hong Kong?" "Yes." Shen Chong opened his mouth and introduced the data: "Kangle Building was built in 1919 and completed in 1973. It only took 16 months from the start of construction to the topping out.  It set a world record at the time. The entire building is 178.5 meters high and is currently the tallest building in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. However, in a few months, it will be replaced by the new Hopewell Center. " "When,  It would be great if there were buildings like this in the Mainland" "Take it step by step, don't be impatient, the form is getting better and better" "Die Hard" has a compact plot and full of tension. Although John Woo has not reached his peak at this time  , but the level is already good, the lens beauty and scene control are already quite masterful. Coupled with the action scenes personally controlled by Shen Chong, the whole movie is exciting and has climaxes. Not only did the two bosses watch it with gusto, but also the following.  Several guards also watched intently.  But as Shen Chong said after the premiere of "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back," the same movie, different audiences, different viewing methods, the two bosses didn't mention a word about the plot or scenes of the movie after watching it.  "Xiao Shen, this movie of yours is good to watch, but it's too extravagant. You blew up a good building to pieces." After the movie ended, Secretary Xi stood up, shook his head and said, "Although I  I know that everything in the movie is fake, but I still feel bad, Director Liao, don't you think so? " "I think so, it's such a good building, but it's such a mess, Xiao Shen is so sloppy." "Liao Chengzhi.  He also criticized him, saying: "I think the media in Hong KongThe media reported that you spent 100,000 U.S. dollars to make this movie?  There is nothing wrong with using 10 million U.S. dollars to make a movie, and it is a movie that has only viewing value but no artistic value.  " "10UU US dollars?  Xiao Shen, did you really spend so much?  " "The flowers cost 10UU US dollars.  Shen Chong explained with a smile: "But there is a lot of water in this number. I have included the expenses of purchasing various equipment, building dubbing studios and printing plants, inviting Americans to come to Hong Kong for training, etc. In fact,  These are long-term investments and will be used to make other movies in the future. They cannot be counted as the cost of this movie. I deliberately said that I spent 10UU million, just for publicity purposes.  " "Even so, it is still a big investment. With 10UU U.S. dollars, you can do a lot of things in China.  "Secretary Xi sighed with emotion, shook hands with Shen Chong, and said, "Xiao Shen, thank you for the movie tonight. It was very good and allowed me to enjoy a two-hour break.  You are welcome to come to Guangzhou often in the future, and of course, you are also welcome to invest in the mainland.  "Secretary, you are so polite. I am very lazy. If you say so, I will come to Guangzhou every three days to harass you."  " "You can't get it, you can't get it.  Secretary Xi let go of his hand and said goodbye to Liao Chengzhi: "Director Liao, take good care of yourself. I'll go back first."  " After sending Liao Chengzhi and his wife back to the small building where they stayed in the nursing home, Shen Chong and Li Kaiyuan also said goodbye and left. On the way back to the hotel, Li Kaiyuan looked at Shen Chong and said with a half-smile: "Ah Chong, others  They say you are the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, but I feel more and more that you are not like the God of Wealth, you are more like another god.  " "Which god?  " "The birthday boy.  "    "ah?  Shen Chong was surprised and asked, "How do you say this?"  " "There is a saying that is called the birthday man's abacus - wily and calculating.  "Li Kaiyuan said: "When others make movies, they just make movies. But when you make movies, you have to do it all over the place and come up with all kinds of tricks. If it's not cunning, what is it?  " After she finished speaking, she touched Shen Chong's forehead with her hand and said, "Don't think too much about it in the future, otherwise it won't look good if you have forehead wrinkles at a young age.  ¡± Note: Taboo, changed to another word, dare not commit suicide
