I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Chapter 117 Chaos in the Entertainment Industry

After the news of Bang Geng's accident spread back to the city, although the Jia family was always worried, they still had some hope in their hearts. Where could Bang Geng run to? He must have found a way to escape to Hong Kong.

Qin Huairu called Xiaodang every few days to ask her if she had encountered Banggeng. After more than two months, there was still no news of Banggeng from Hong Kong, and the Jia family gradually began to get anxious.

That day, the police from Beixinqiao Police Station came to inform the Jia family that Jia Geng was being escorted back to Sijiucheng by Guangdong Province for intentional injury, and asked the Jia family to go to the detention center to deliver replacement clothes to Jia Geng.

Jia Zhang screamed and fell to the ground with her eyes rolled back. The neighbors who were watching the excitement hurriedly lifted her onto the kang and pinched her Ren Zhong.

When she slowly woke up, everyone looked and saw something terrible. Jia Zhang's mouth and eyes were crooked, and half of her body could no longer move.

He quickly called Qin Huairu, who was still wiping tears, to send her mother-in-law to the hospital. On this side, Yi Zhonghai also sent someone to the factory to inform Sha Zhu.

After Jia Zhang was sent to the Red Star Hospital, the doctor diagnosed her with a stroke, which caused half of her body to be paralyzed. Tang Yanling saw that Bang Geng was in trouble and her family wanted her to take care of the bedridden Jia Zhang. She left her one-year-old daughter behind and ran back to her parents' home.

Now the family is in a mess. Qin Huairu has to take care of Jia Zhang who is paralyzed in bed and raise her one-year-old granddaughter. She is so busy that she is running around in circles. This reminds her of how good Sha Zhu was to her.

Now the family's living conditions have returned to the past, and her meager pension is of no use. So, she used the same tricks she used when she was young. She wiped her tears and talked to Sha Zhu, and successfully brought him back. Qin Huairu asked Sha Zhu to move into the west wing of the central courtyard with her, leaving Jia Zhang alone in the back room.

Bang Geng was eventually sentenced to eight years in prison for intentional injury. As soon as the verdict was issued, Tang Yanling immediately filed for a divorce and did not want the child.

With such a big incident at home, Qin Huairu had called Xiaodang to come back a long time ago. Xiaodang kept delaying for two or three months, saying that the child had not been weaned yet. There was really no other way but to come back with Zhang Tao.

"Xiaodang! Mom is almost at her wit's end. Your grandma is paralyzed in bed and needs special care, and your sister-in-law left the child and ran away. What do you want Mom to do now?"

Qin Huairu and Xiaodang cried and complained that if she had not grabbed Shazhu in time, she would have died.

Now that the family is in such a miserable state, it's time for Huaihua to show up, right? Even if a little bit of money leaks out through her fingers, the Jia family can live a comfortable life.

"Mom doesn't expect you to bring Huaihua back. I just ask you to go and tell her. Tell her the real situation at home. If she still has a little conscience, she should come back to visit." Qin Huairu pleaded with Xiaodang again.

Xiaodang was also forced to do nothing! He could only go out and make phone calls. He first called the Repulse Bay Villa, but the maid said the owner was not at home. He called Jingyi's pager, but no one returned the call.

The couple didn't have much time to stay here, so they discussed hiring a nanny for the Jia family, and the couple would pay for the salary. But Qin Huairu disagreed! It would be better to give the money to her.

The current salary of Xiaodang and his wife is only more than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars per month. After discussing, they decided to mail 200 Hong Kong dollars to Qin Huairu every month. This is enough for her to solve her current life difficulties!

Jingyi did not return Xiaodang's call because she is currently in Hong Kong and the signal from Hong Kong's paging station cannot be transmitted here.

This time, she was invited to join Hong Kong's official art delegation to tour the mainland for visits and cultural exchanges, and performed two piano concerts at the Taipei City Hall.

By the time she returned to Hong Kong, it was already the end of October. As soon as she came back, she was called over by President Liang of the Music Association, who gave her some earnest advice.

"Jingyi! After all, your acting is just a hobby, and your main achievement is in music. So you can't confuse the priorities! How long has it been since you released a song?"

Jingyi thought about it and realized that she was indeed a bit busy this year. She had just finished filming Rouge and was assigned to an art delegation by the government and stayed in the mainland for two months. She calculated that she had been in Hong Kong for more than a year and had not released a single.

"It's not that I don't want to release a song, but I don't want to go on stage to receive awards anymore. I have won all the music awards in these years, and this is not conducive to the development of the Chinese music scene." Jingyi immediately thought of an excuse and came to President Tang Sailiang.

"If you don't release songs, the Chinese music scene will develop rapidly? What a fallacy! Go to the Commercial Radio Station in the next two days to record the single. I have already made arrangements there."

President Liang would not allow her to quibble. Jingyi began to slack off from her job and only wanted to show her face and act. A person's energy is limited. If you are busy with that all day, you will definitely neglect music.

Huang, the director of Commercial Radio, has been waiting impatiently! This year, Teresa Teng only participated in the charts and did not accept the selection. And Lou Jingyi has not released a single this year, which is already the end of October.

Jingyi went to the Commercial Radio on Broadcast Channel with her accompaniment. This time she released the Cantonese version of "Promise", and she has already recorded the Mandarin version of "Promise" on her fifth Mandarin album in the mainland.

After the recording was completed, a copy was also given to TVB as usual. It is now the end of October, and there are still two months before the two major charts will be completed. Jingyi estimated that her single might not be on the list of the two major celebrations to be held in January next year.

In the second half of 1986, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was in an unpredictable situation. First, Sir Run Run Shaw sold his Shaw Cinema Line to the wealthy Hong Kong family, the Lam family. He also closed the prestigious Shaw Film Company and devoted all his energy to TVB.

Next, the Lin family made a full-scale acquisition of the British-controlled TV station, ATV, which was at its peak. It was renamed Asia Television! From then on, the two major TV stations were controlled by local people.

Due to the popularity of home video recorders in the past two years, a black industry has emerged. Gangs and societies in Hong Kong have followed the example of the small-time gangs and started the small movie workshop model.

There were countless film companies in Hong Kong. Most of these film companies did not have the distribution rights for films, but they did not expect their crudely produced films to be shown in theaters. They were targeting the huge videotape market!

Some small gangs would go out and rent a video camera, find a lady in their own place, and start filming as soon as the door was closed. Of course, the male lead would be played by their gang brothers, and an unrestrained little movie would be produced in this way.

Of course, those large gangs run genuine film companies, and they aim for the tempting box office. As long as they find two big-name stars, even if the plot is crudely made, they can easily get a box office of 10 or 20 million.

The Hong Kong film and television market was immediately in chaos after these gangs and societies intervened. When a film crew from a film company had just finished filming, the gang members would come and snatch the actors. If you don't film their scenes first, you can't film your movie either.

Even if you ask for help or call the police, it’s useless! After you finish shooting, even the negatives will be snatched away from you on the way!

The popular actor Andy Lau refused a gangster's invitation to film a movie. He was pointed at by four guns while eating in a restaurant at night, and his head was pressed into the soup bowl on the table.

Under the tyranny of these gang members, Andy had no choice but to compromise and follow them to film the movie "Fire Island", but he never expected that the heroine was Irene Wan.

Wen Bixia was also intimidated by these people and came here! She didn't expect the scale of the filming here would be so large! But it was too late to regret it. This film became a stain on her career.

Andy was forced by them one after another to shoot a series of movies that he found difficult to talk about, such as "Love Is War", "Drama", and "Unending Love". Only then did these gang members let him go.

The movie star Liang Jiahui was even more miserable! While he was filming in Vietnam, his wife Jiang Jianian was kidnapped by a gang. They forced Liang Jiahui to go to the Philippines to film a movie, otherwise they would kill him. Liang Jiahui had no choice but to obey their orders. He was not reunited with his wife Jiang Jianian until he finished filming several movies in half a year.

Even the big brother Chen Long could not escape their clutches. He was blocked and beaten several times on the road. At someone's birthday party, Chen Long was forced to kneel down and apologize to the gang leader.

Male artists are oppressed like this, and those weak female artists are even worse off! As long as you refuse their invitation to shoot, kidnapping and taking photos, it's a small matter. If you resist a little, you will be photographed carrying rice, and if you don't obey, you will be kicked out. Let your reputation be ruined!

Anita Mui was performing in various dance halls at the age of seven, and her connections were extensive in various gangs and societies. Even a person like her was slapped in public. Let alone other female artists!

Female artists are all in danger! They can only try their best to protect themselves and find a backer for themselves.

As a result, a phenomenon emerged, especially among young and beautiful female artists, who went to gangs and celebrities who they could not afford to offend to become their godfathers.
