The Taiwan media on the next day reported on the grand occasion of this year's Golden Horse Awards, but the focus of the report was that this is Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, and the words could not hide the sourness.

The winners of this year's Golden Horse Awards are "A Better Tomorrow" and "The Favorite". What they have in common are Hong Kong films, which also reflects the current status of Hong Kong and Taiwanese films. Hong Kong films are becoming more and more prosperous, while Taiwanese films are not.

It is gradually becoming lonely.

At noon, Cai Zhiliang went to the appointment on time.

However, Zhao Zidu did not come alone. He was accompanied by a middle-aged man with eyes and a smile on his face.

After Cai Zhiliang and Zhao Zi both exchanged pleasantries, he asked, "Who is this?"

"Yang Dechang, you should have heard of it." Zhao Zidu said a name.

Edward Yang is a legend in Taiwan, an engineering student who became a well-known screenwriter and director in Taiwan. In 1982, he participated in the direction of the film "The Story of Time", which broke through the political propaganda films and Qiong Yao romance dramas in Taiwan since the 1970s, and is known as

It is the pioneer of new Taiwanese films.

At the Golden Horse Awards that just ended last night, his "Terrorist" won the Best Feature Film Award.

"Congratulations to Mr. Yang, "Terrorist" is indeed a rare masterpiece, and it was well deserved last night." Cai Zhiliang didn't know the purpose of the two people's trip, but compliments are always right.

"Thanks."

As soon as the three of them sat down, a waiter brought the menu. Cai Zhiliang naturally followed the guests. Not knowing the purpose of the other party's visit, Cai Zhiliang spoke nonsensically.

"Mr. Tsai, are you interested in filming in Taiwan?"

Upon hearing this from Zhao Zidu, Cai Zhiliang was a little confused. Is this a dead horse treated as a living horse doctor? After all, he is a newcomer who has made two or three movies.

This is the glorious period of Hong Kong films. If you invest in any movie, you will most likely make money. On the other hand, Taiwanese films are just the opposite, and tend to be artistic. If you invest in a movie, you will lose money in all likelihood.

of.

As the future leader of Taiwanese films, Edward Yang has deep connections in the Taiwanese film industry and is someone who must be friends with. As long as Tsai Chi-liang's movies are to be released in Taiwan, the more friends the better, especially for famous people like Edward Yang.

.

However, Cai Zhiliang still did not want to film in Taiwan. He considered his words. It was necessary to be close, but not too involved. He had to maintain a certain degree of control. He said: "I will invest in Xu Ke's "A Chinese Ghost Story" next year.

I don’t have any extra funds at the moment. However, I invest in commercial films, and Taiwan seems to be more inclined towards literary films.”

"How about the distribution of the film directed by Xu Ke in Taiwan?" Zhao Zidu was naturally interested in whether the film could be distributed by himself.

Cai Zhiliang said: "You can talk to Shi Nansheng."

Shi Nansheng is the housekeeper of Xu Ke Studio, and Zhao Zidu naturally knows it, but Princess Jin and New Art City's movies are usually distributed by Cathay Pictures.

"I have watched the movie "Autumn Fairy Tale" invested by Mr. Cai. It is more like a literary film." Yang Dechang interjected at this time.

Cai Zhiliang said with a smile: "Director Zhang has just returned from the United States. He is one of the few people who has escaped from vulgar taste."

"But you still invested. According to Zhang Wanting, you were rejected many times before."

Cai Zhiliang seems to understand somewhat, because the movie "Autumn Fairy Tale" seems to have misunderstood some people, "Mainly because the starring roles of Chow Yun-fat and Lin Qingxia have box office appeal in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

If someone else could have performed better, I would have refused. The film industry can only continue if it is profitable."

Afterwards, the three of them chatted about some Taiwanese customs and figures while eating. After the meal, Cai Zhiliang left without staying much.

Back at the hotel, Wu Yusen, Di Long and others had already left early in the morning. As for Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng, they were also going to leave, but now they have been postponed to tomorrow, but they don't know where they went.

However, Cai Zhiliang met Zhang Wanting and Zhou Runfa who came to Taiwan for promotion. He had met Zhou Runfa yesterday. As for Zhang Wanting, this was the first time since he came to Taiwan.

"You are quite leisurely," Zhang Wanting said.

Cai Zhiliang said: "If it weren't for you, I would be more relaxed."

"What does this have to do with me?" Zhang Wanting asked strangely.

"What did you and Edward Yang say? When we met just now, you asked me if I wanted to invest in movies in Taiwan. How could I dare to agree?" Cai Zhiliang complained.

Zhang Wanting said: "Why don't you agree? His film "Terrorists" won the best feature film last night."

"The key is to lose money." Cai Zhiliang sighed and asked, "When will Brother Fa leave?"

Zhou Run found that he is a very busy man now, with many film appointments. This time he came to Taiwan to promote the film, which coincided with the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

"We will stay for two more days, and we will have a flight the day after tomorrow." Zhou Runfa yawned inexplicably.

Cai Zhiliang said: "Miss Lin is probably being driven crazy by the media these days. Brother Fa, you can do more work."

Zhang Wanting asked at this time: "I heard that Miss Lin was very drunk last night?"

It seems that every woman has a gossipy heart.

Cai Zhiliang glanced around, nodded, and said, "She drank a lot, or I sent her back to the room."

"What happened next?" Zhang Wanting seemed very interested.

Cai Zhiliang shook his head and said: "You have to ask Shi Nansheng about what happened next. I'm already on my way to find Xu Ke, Brother Long and the others to brag."

Zhou Runfa asked casually: "What movie are you planning recently?"

Cai Zhiliang did not hide anything, saying: "There are two movies, one is a remake of Mr. Ni Ji's "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon", which can be regarded as a period martial arts film, and the other is "The Best Friend", which is directed by Wang Jing.

An urban comedy movie.”

"Is there a role suitable for me?" Zhou Runfa asked.

Cai Zhiliang smiled and said: "If I say yes, will you have free time next year?"

"If you squeeze in, there will still be some."

"They were still complaining last night, saying that you were so busy that you didn't even have time to film the sequel to "A Better Tomorrow."

"Next year, I will be cooperating with director Wang Jing to shoot a movie called "Beautiful Chasing Girls". It should be similar to "The Best Friend". How about merging the filming together and saving a lot of trouble?"

.”

"All the movies produced by Wang Jing are basically the same. There is no doubt about this. I will ask Zhao Shuo later to see if the protagonist has been decided. Director Wang Jing has recommended you before. Considering your

As for the timing issue, I rejected it and decided on Liu Dehua for the time being."

"Since it's been decided, let's forget it." Zhou Runfa naturally chose to refuse such a thankless thing.

"Are you reluctant to part with the pay?" Zhang Wanting teased.

Cai Zhiliang's face looked a little unnatural when he was told what was on his mind, and said: "I understand everything you said..."

"Then how about planning a new one?" Zhou Runfa suggested with a smile.

"Okay, when I finish filming "Six Finger Piano Demon", it will probably be in the second half of next year. We will discuss it together then. Ms. Zhang, I will trouble you to direct it then." Cai Zhiliang agreed, after all, there is still a lot in his mind

Creativity can be copied.

"I'm happy to help." Zhang Wanting was also curious, "Do you really have any ideas?"

"I have some ideas." Cai Zhiliang was somewhat pleased with himself.

"It's true. Let's talk about it."

"I still have to think about it again." Cai Zhiliang did think of a movie, and it was also suitable for a director like Zhang Wanting.
