Chapter 105 Visiting the patient

Cai Zhiliang drank a lot today. After all, he was the boss and there were many people toasting. After Zhao Shuo distributed the red envelopes, everyone was naturally happy at the celebration banquet.

"When will Qingxia return to the United States?" The person asking was Zhang Wanting.

After the celebration banquet, Cai Zhiliang, Zhang Wanting, Zhou Runfa, and Lin Qingxia asked for a private room to drink tea and sober up.

Lin Qingxia said: "I received an invitation from TVB to participate in this year's Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony as an award presenter. I guess I won't be able to do it until the end of the year."

Cai Zhiliang said: "I also received it, but I don't know who to give the award to. How about we come together then?"

Lin Qingxia was a little surprised and said: "Are you sure you are the award guest?"

"I have also written "Blessings" after all. It is such an excellent song, but it is a pity that it was not shortlisted." The implication is that I am also an artistic person.

"You're sorry, I heard Aqiang say that you don't even understand music scores, and you don't even know how you wrote "Blessing"." Lin Qingxia began to expose his background.

Cai Zhiliang argued: "If you don't know how to compose music, it won't affect your poetry writing."

Zhou Runfa asked at this moment: "Are you planning to collaborate with Shaw Brothers on "Six Finger Piano Demon"?"

Cai Zhiliang smiled and said, "You are quite well-informed."

Lin Qingxia was the heroine, so she was naturally concerned and asked: "Has the script been written?"

"That's not true, it's just that the general framework is there..." At this point, Cai Zhiliang pointed at Zhang Wanting and said, "Director Zhang is helping me polish it up. It will be out in the next year."

Lin Qingxia looked at Zhang Wanting in surprise. After all, Zhang Wanting had only filmed two literary films and was not necessarily suitable for directing martial arts films, and asked: "Are you going to direct?"

Zhang Wanting shook her head and said, "I'm just helping with the script."

Cai Zhiliang said: "I hope Xu Ke will direct, but I guess he doesn't have time. Although I am working with Shaw Brothers this time, I am not sure about the director from Shaw Brothers. After all, the director is the key to ensuring the quality of the film.

Do you have any recommendations for excellent martial arts film directors?"

When it comes to martial arts films, the classic films of Shaw Brothers are naturally the first to be mentioned. We have to mention the four major directors of Shaw Brothers, but all of them have left Shaw Brothers.

The movies directed by Chang Cheh are full of tomato juice, and there is a kind of masculinity in the face. The heroine has never been outstanding, because it is not suitable for Lin Qingxia. Chu Yuan shot the most movies of Gu Long, and after losing the box office market

, there has been no director of movies in recent years. Li Hanxiang has directed many classic costume films, but there are very few martial arts films in the true sense. The more important point is that he has been banned by Taiwan for filming movies in the mainland, and

Lin Qingxia's most important market is Taiwan.

The most suitable director is naturally Hu Jinquan, who has shot a series of classic martial arts movies such as "The Heroine" and "The Drunken Hero", especially "The Drunken Hero", which is a martial arts film with mainly female characters.

He is suitable for portraying "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon" with Lin Qingxia as the protagonist. Unfortunately, he just had surgery last year and is still recovering. And, the most important thing is that Mr. Hu is too obsessed with perfection, which leads to some procrastination.

Later directors, with the decline of martial arts films, no more classic films appeared.

Lin Qingxia said: "When it comes to kung fu movies, the most popular ones in Hong Kong currently are the Married Family Class and the Hong Family Class, but Mr. Shao would not agree."

The feud between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest is well known, so the range of choices is very small.

Zhou Runfa asked: "What do you think of Liu Jialiang, who directed "North and South Shaolin" last year?"

Cai Zhiliang shook his head and said: "His hard horse bridge skills are not suitable for this movie. What "Six Finger Piano Demon" needs is that kind of elegant feeling."

Zhou Runfa just made a suggestion, but when Cai Zhiliang didn't agree, he didn't say anything more. Cai Zhiliang was the one who made the final decision.

"I heard that you met Jiang Zhiqiang two days ago?" Cai Zhiliang naturally asked Zhang Wanting.

Zhang Wanting said: "I have seen it before, but he is not optimistic about the release of this movie in Europe and the United States. It is estimated that only Chinese people from all over the country are willing to buy tickets."

Cai Zhiliang said: "That's enough. The audience for Hong Kong films is mainly Chinese. It is understandable that they are not popular in North America, but there should still be a market for this kind of literary and artistic films in Europe."

Zhang Wanting said: "The aesthetics of European and American audiences are still very different from ours. Boss Zou from Jiahe has always wanted to enter Hollywood and make Cheng Long the second Bruce Lee, but he has never been able to do so. Also, the publicity expenses are estimated to be high.

Cheap.”

"It doesn't matter. Among the ten movies released, there will always be one that will suit Western tastes." This movie was meant to test the waters, but it was difficult for Cai Zhiliang to say it in front of Zhang Wanting.

After chatting for a while, they sobered up and left.

Cai Zhiliang did not go home or go to the company, but went to the hospital to visit the sick Cai Shao.

"Put it there first, I'll eat it later."

"Old sir, this is medicine to lower blood pressure. We can't delay it any longer..."

As soon as Cai Zhiliang walked to the door, he heard the conversation between Cai Shao and the nurse. He was a little dumbfounded, so he opened the door and went in.

"grandfather."

"A-Liang is here..." Cai Shao sat up straight when he saw Cai Zhiliang coming in.

Cai Zhiliang took the medicine from the nurse and said, "I'll do it."

Cai Shao looked at the medicine in Cai Zhiliang's hand and said, "The medicine is three-thirds poisonous. Even if I'm not sick, I'll get sick if I take it. I just took too much medicine."

Cai Zhiliang didn't answer, just handed the medicine over and watched Cai Shao take it.

"I'm old and no longer useful. These days, I keep dreaming about your great-grandpa and great-grandma. They're still in that dilapidated little yard. Your grandfather, I, and Xiao Kang are going fishing together..."

"Grandpa." Cai Zhiliang hurriedly interrupted Cai Shao to prevent him from continuing to think wildly, and said: "I will get married next year. When I have children, I will call you grandpa. By then, our family will have four generations.

Same room."

Cai Shao was stunned and asked: "Whose girl is it with?"

Cai Zhiliang said: "Her father's name is Fang Jianlin, and my third uncle introduced him to me."

"Why did the two of them get together..." Cai Shao frowned, then relaxed and said, "How long have you been dating and how come no one has ever told me about it?"

Cai Zhiliang saw Cai Shao frowning, thinking he was dissatisfied with his concealment, and said: "I am still studying in the UK and will graduate next year. We only started dating during the summer. I wanted to wait until the relationship is finalized before telling you. I'm not afraid.

May you be happy for nothing.”

"Now that you're getting married, you have to have a good one. The last wedding banquet our family had was when Apo got married. It's been ten years... You've got a wedding, and Meiqi can't delay anymore. She's an old girl.

Already."

Cai Shao became a little excited as he talked. After all, the Cai family had successors, and the grandchildren were beginning to flourish. Cai Zhiliang breathed a sigh of relief, and discussed the future wedding with Cai Shao, as if it would be held tomorrow.

As a result, Cai Zhiliang received a call from Cai Meiqi that night, and she complained a lot. In the past, Cai Meiqi would have choked Cai Shao back, but now that Cai Shao was still ill, Cai Meiqi could only hold it in.

"The last time my mother said you were looking for me, it's been almost two months, and why haven't you mentioned it yet?"

"Forget it." The other end of the phone sighed and said, "It's not just for "A Chinese Ghost Story."

"What does it have to do with "A Chinese Ghost Story"?" Cai Zhiliang was confused.

"I have a best friend who has appeared in several TV series and is thinking about entering the film industry. After hearing about our relationship, I was thinking about playing the role of Nie Xiaoqian, but you guys directly confirmed it."

"What is an unofficial decision?" Cai Zhiliang retorted, "We interviewed many people and selected Nie Xiaoqian."

"Okay, okay..."

"..."

Early the next morning, the "Autumn Fairy Tale" celebration party made the headlines of the entertainment pages of major newspapers. The main reason was that Zhou Runfa was too popular. From "A Better Tomorrow" to "Autumn Fairy Tale", Zhou Runfa has become the most popular actor in Hong Kong.

A strong actor.

As for Cai Zhiliang, although he made bold words, he could only serve as a foil, but at least he occupied a small space.

This naturally became free advertising, and the box office of "Autumn Fairy Tale" also experienced a slight rebound.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the film market is turbulent. Jiahe's "Brothers of the Dragon" and Princess Jin's "Legend of Wesley" are a little hesitant about Debao Cinema. After all, they don't have the courage to go head-to-head with Cheng Long's new film "Brothers of the Dragon".
