Zhang Aijia's grandfather Wei Jingmeng is a legendary figure. He was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang and graduated from Yenching University. He has worked in Tianjin "Yongbao", "Star News", Shanghai "Current Affairs News" and English "Mainland News" and other Kuomintang news publications.

In 1942, he volunteered to accompany a group of foreign journalists to Yan'an for inspection and became famous, thus gaining the appreciation of Chiang Kai-shek. He then rose to the forefront. In 1945, he became the director of the Shanghai Office of the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee. The following year he was transferred to the director of the Overseas Office of the Executive Yuan News Bureau.

He went to Taiwan in 1949. In October 1950, he served as the vice president of Taiwan's "Central News Agency", in 1954, he served as the general manager of China Broadcasting Corporation, and also as the chairman of the Preparatory Committee of Taiwan's TV Company. In 1966, he served as the sixth director of the "Executive Yuan" news director of the Kuomintang. In 1972, he was transferred to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" again. He was deeply trusted by two generations of the Chiang father and son. After retirement in 1978, he was hired as the "National Policy Advisor of the Presidential Office."

Chen Chong never fought unprepared wars, and Wei Jingmeng was very important to his future plans, so he deliberately collected these information before coming to Taipei.

The meeting with Wei Jingmeng was very smooth. After retirement, such a politician, he was inevitably disappointed and depressed. Chen Chong rushed over from Hong Kong to ask for his words, which made him feel like a close friend and was extremely enthusiastic about the hospitality.

With the information collected, Chen Chong picked up some of the most proud things in Wei Jingmeng's life and talked about it, which aroused his conversation. The two of them chatted back and forth in the study for more than an hour, and they were very ecstatic.

Holding the cylinder with a font in it and walking out of the study, Chen Chong saw a woman in her thirties standing in the yard with elegant appearance, quiet manners and temperament. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"It's indeed a pair of perverts." Sang Aijia had a car in Taipei. When Shen Chong got into the car, she started the car while saying ignorantly: "No wonder we were chatting so happily!"

"What are you talking about?" Chen Chong was puzzled, "Are you talking about me?"

"Isn't it about you, is it about the stone lion at the door?" Zhang Ai Jia said as if he was just a blasphemy, "Did that woman look good just now?"

"It's OK." Chen Chong nodded and said, "But you look better."

"Tsk, sweet words." Chang Aijia disdained. She had adapted to Chen Chong's shameless praise, "Do you know who she is?"

"I don't know." According to her reaction, Chen Chong tentatively said; "Is it your grandfather's wife?"

Zhang Aijia hummed twice and said, "She is not Xuxian, she is my grandfather's concubine."

"Really?" Chen Chong was surprised. What era has it been? Can Taiwan still take a concubine?

"Of course it's true. Everyone in Taipei knows this." Zhang Aijia said in a half helpless and half angry tone: "She had no relatives when she was a teenager and volunteered in the temple. My grandfather's old man went to burn incense once and saw that she was beautiful, so she took her home to teach her to read and write. As she taught her, she came together..." (Note 1)

Damn, senior master, the Loli cultivation plan is so smooth!

Chen Chong approached Wei Jingmeng with another purpose, but at this moment he couldn't help but admire him and began to consider whether to be a disciple of him and learn the loli cultivation technique...

Zhang Aijia probably felt that telling the story of his elders was not very good, so she didn't say anything and drove intently. After a while, she asked, "A Chong, what time will you get to fly tomorrow?"

"Around 12:30."

"I have a friend who held a concert tonight, so come and listen to it?"

music?

Could it be the Luo Dayou who has a scandal with her?

"Okay, what time is it at night, where is it?"

"I'll pick you up then."

"good."

Sylvia Chang took Shen Chong to Yuanshan Hotel and drove away.

Chen Chong looked at the car that was leaving, shook his head, and walked into the hotel.

Sylvia Chang seems to be completely two people in Hong Kong and Taipei. She is restrained and quiet in Hong Kong, active, crazy and full of vitality in Taipei.

Yuanshan Hotel was once a place where Soong Mei-ling hosted visitors. Later, it was expanded repeatedly and became a world-renowned hotel. Many celebrities and politicians have stayed here. Its unique palace-style building has Chinese characteristics and is a landmark building in Taipei. Ang Lee once used it as an exterior in "Food, Men and Women", which left a deep impression on Chen Chong.

Back in the room, Chen Chong opened the cylinder, took out Wei Jingmeng's calligraphy scroll, looked at it, and then threw it on the bed.

Regardless of the quality of calligraphy, Wei Jingmeng is a well-known senior executive in Taiwan and a hard-core anti-communist, Chen Chong would not use his words. Just kidding, his plan was that the main sales target of the magazine was the mainland...

During this trip to Taipei, Chen Chong just wanted to make friends with him and make plans for the future. Wei Jingmeng has a high status and knowing him will help him contact other senior officials in Taiwan.

The Greater Chinese cultural circle has always been known as the official position. As long as you know the right bureaucrats, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. It will not work in business.

In Shen Chong's film map, Taiwan is the first place to be solved. He wants to turn Taiwan into the back garden of Hong Kong movies, similar to Canada and Hollywood.

In the 1990s, Taiwan funds invaded Hong Kong. Many people mistakenly thought that Taiwan had long been the back garden of Hong Kong movies. In fact, in the 1980s, when Hong Kong movies were the most glorious, its average market share in Taiwan was only a little over 26%, and the highest year was only 40.3%. The share of foreign language films in the Taiwan market has never been lower than 50%. In the late 1990s, foreign language films had a market share of more than 95% in Taiwan...

Chen Chong did not have the intention to destroy the Taiwanese film industry. On the contrary, he needed to make the messy Taiwanese films ravaged by the "martial law" develop rapidly. Taiwan's population base and film education facilities are much better than Hong Kong. The better the Taiwanese film development, the more talents Hong Kong can absorb. He needed Taiwan to provide in addition to sending female stars such as Brigitte Lin and Joey Wong, but also to provide more behind-the-scenes talents.

After the 1980s, neoliberal economic thought swept the world, and the allocation of film resources is no longer restricted by the national and national regimes. The ultimate competitiveness of a regional film industry is not talent, not output, but financing ability. As long as Hong Kong maintains its overwhelming film financing ability, it will absorb water like a long whale, absorbing talents and film resources in the surrounding areas continuously. Taiwan and Hong Kong have the same species and the same origin, and there will be no so-called "cultural loss". If the film industries in the two places can be integrated, it will have a very positive effect. Therefore, Shen Chong requires a vibrant Taiwanese film circle, rather than a barren wasteland.

Wei Jingmeng was once the director of news in Taiwan, and the film industry was within his jurisdiction. Shen Chong could contact the current director of news in the news director Song Chuyu. Song Chuyu is a political star in Taiwan and has worked in the position of news director for many years. As long as it can influence him, it can affect the Taiwanese film industry.

Chen took a shower, took a nap for a while, and then ate something in the restaurant downstairs. When it was over six o'clock, Sylvia came over.

There was also a thin man with black-framed glasses. His recognizable appearance was difficult to recognize him without thinking.

It was indeed Luo Dayou...

Jin Yong, Tsui Hark, Luo Dayou - novels, movies, music, three popular culture enlightenment masters in the past years.

Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, the first person I saw was him!

"Chen Chong is my investor when I was filming movies in Hong Kong." Zhang Aijia introduced to each other, "Luo Dayou, a music genius, my good friend, will be his concert tonight."

"Hello." Chen Chong quickly reached out to signal.

Luo Dayou first looked at Chang Aijia, then shook hands with Shen Chong, "Hello."

"When Chen Chong saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile. A typical otaku and goddess said politely: "Do you want to eat something here first?"

"No need, there is food over there." Chang Aijia waved his hand and said, "Let's go, if you don't leave, you will be late."

Along the way, Shen Chong sat in the back seat of the car, and the observers Zhang Aijia and Luo Dayou.

Luo Dayou was obviously obsessed with Chang Aijia, and his expression was so familiar to him that the otakus looked like that.

Sylvia Chang is normal on the surface, but I don’t know if it’s because of a woman’s unique disguise talent or if she doesn’t feel anything about Luo Dayou…

The more I looked at Shen Chong, the more interesting it became.

Most of his understanding of Chang Aijia comes from various video materials in his previous life. After contacting a real person, the fantasy image and the real image conflict, overlap, and merge... It makes Chen Chong unable to explain what he feels about Chang Aijia. He admires her very much and has the urge to have her, but it is far from the point of being jealous and angry when he sees his rival.

When the information of the current world and the current scenes were mixed together, Chen Chong developed a gossip and soy sauce mentality of watching the show - yo, these two guys, the scandals of those years seemed to be true.

But wait, wasn’t it now?

collapse……

The music party was held in a coffee shop called "Chansong Room". When he arrived, twenty or thirty people had gathered. As soon as he entered the door and swept around, he couldn't help but sigh that he was so lucky! (Note 2)

There is a saying that goes, "One life, two fortunes, and three Feng Shui". If your fate is good, then everything is good. If you come through the sun and hold your golden fingers, you will be lucky.

Luck, luck, and luck are very important to people's future and career. What is the best luck? It is to enter that circle just right before an industry breaks out. It's too early to be used as cannon fodder, and it's too late to be used, and the cake is finished.

Therefore, Buddhism says: Opportunities are hard to come by.

This is also why "fate" is ahead of "luck". For those with good fate, opportunities that others cannot get are within their reach... For example, Chen Chong, before the new wave of Hong Kong movies broke out, he entered the film industry and quickly met a large group of famous actors in the future and seized the opportunity.

And tonight, he entered another circle that was about to explode - Taiwan's modern pop music industry.

Without the introduction of Sylvia Chang, Chen Chong recognized several people: the most conspicuous one in the crowd was Liu Wenzheng, the first superstar in the history of Taiwanese pop music. The one who was staring in the corner was the later Rolling Stone ace Pan Yueyun... (Note 3)

Zhang Aijia was in charge of the organization. After she hurriedly explained a few words, she threw herself down and rushed to work.

"It's really not easy, no wonder I can become the leader of the Taiwanese pop music circle."

Chen Chong watched Zhang Aijia go back and forth in the crowd, and soon turned the messy scene into an orderly manner, and couldn't help but sigh.

He touched a bottle of beer, wandered around, gathered among the crowd and listened to people chatting. After a while, he gained a lot of gossip that he had never heard of in his previous life.

At about 7:30, the concert officially began. Luo Dayou was on the stage, playing and singing on his own with a piano accompaniment.

"Shining Days", "Waiting for a Lost", "We Once Young", "Song", "Four Rhymes of Homesickness"...

After listening to it for a while, Chen Chong heard several familiar songs and admired Luo Dayou's musical talent. He was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old and had such dazzling achievements. Chen Chong's age in his previous life was still struggling on the front line of online games and accomplished nothing.

During the concert break, a woman wearing glasses and looking at about thirty years old walked to Chen Chong and asked, "What do you think?"

"Very awesome." Chen Chong said sincerely: "He is the most talented singer I have ever met, and his future achievements are limitless."

"Oh?" the woman asked, "How high can the achievement be?"

"Bob Dylan from China." Chen Chong took a sip of beer and said, "Maybe it John Lennon?"

The woman opened her eyes wide and expressed her surprise. She pointed to Luo Dayou on the stage and asked, "Are you his friend?"

"Not counting, right?" Chen Chong shook his head, "I saw you for the first time today. Sylvia Chang brought me here."

The woman nodded and said, "I heard her say you are the movie boss from Hong Kong?"

"Yes." Chen Chong picked up the wine bottle, touched her cup, and introduced himself: "My name is Chen Chong."

"Tao Xiaoqing." The woman continued again, "Radio program host." (Note 4)

"I am a capitalist." Chen Chong shook the wine bottle and added.

Tao Xiaoqing pursed her lips and said, "Have you studied abroad?"

"No." Chen Chong asked back: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it depends on how familiar you are with Western music."

"Not at all." Chen Chong shrugged and smiled, saying, "I only know that Bob Dylan and John Lennon are very famous, and those who are famous must be good. I think Luo Dayou will be as famous as them in the future."

"You are so funny." Tao Xiaoqing laughed. After a while, she asked again: "Since you are a capitalist and you are so optimistic about Luo Dayou, why not open a music company and invest in his record?"

"To be honest, I really want to do this." Chen Chong took a sip of wine and said, "But first, I am not familiar with the music industry, and second, my main business is in Hong Kong, and I open a record company in Taiwan, and no one takes care of it, so the risk is too high."

"Can you have a joint venture?" Sure enough, women take the initiative to strike up a conversation, all of which have a purpose. "I can introduce a few Taiwanese who want to start a record company to you.
