Xu Wangqiu dragged their luggage and walked out of the passage of the airport, and they saw Xu Dunluo and others who picked up the airport.

After the greetings, Xu Wangqiu and the others came out of the airport, boarded the bus that was already on standby at the airport, and went to the Clear Water Bay studio. Tian Xiangxiang was the first time they had been to Xiangjiang, and they were full of curiosity about Xiangjiang, pointing at the high-rise buildings outside and talking about it. Xu Wangqiu and Xie Tian sat with Xu Dunqi to talk about the "Film Bi-Weekly Exhibition".

Xu Dunyang told Xu Wangqiu that after the Freedom Federation knew that the Yindu Organization was going to hold a "Film Bi-weekly Exhibition", it held the "Taiwan New Film Week" at the Xiangjiang Art Center. Two days ago, their film week officially opened, and directors Wang Tong, Li Xing, Yang Dechang, as well as actors Qin Han, Zhang Aijia and others went to Xiangjiang for exchanges, which caused a great response.

Naturally, not to be outdone, Yindu published a large movie poster of the "Film Bi-Weekly Exhibition" in a prominent position in major newspapers in Xiangjiang. Today, a full-page advertisement was published in the "New Evening News", introducing the film schedule and the titles of the films to be screened, the production studios, the main actors and stills. During the screening, major media such as Ta Kung Pao, Ming Pao, and Oriental Daily will place advertisements and report on the screening activities.

Xu Dun reminded Xu Wangqiu and Xie Tian that since there was a fight in Taiwan, the Xiangjiang reporters would definitely talk about Taiwan and the Freedom Association. Xiangjiang reporters like to trick people, don't fall into their traps.

It didn't take long for the bus to drive into the Clear Water Bay studio, and Xu Wangqiu and they lived in the company's star building. Xu Dunyang asked the members of the delegation to have a good rest for a while, and in the evening he sent a car to pick everyone up and go to the opening ceremony.

Xu Wangqiu put down his luggage, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and just sat down on the sofa in the living room when there was a sudden knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Li Lianjie looking at him with a smile. Xu Wangqiu invited him into the house and asked about the release of "Shaolin Kid" in Xiangjiang.

Li Lianjie said triumphantly: ""Shaolin Kid" is very popular, with a box office of more than 25 million, second only to "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order" starring Xu Guanjie. ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled and teased: "It seems that you are really popular in Xiangjiang." "Shaolin Kid" is also very popular in the mainland. The audience especially likes the part where you dress up as a woman, and they think it's very funny. I think the reason why "Shaolin Kid" is a box office hit is related to this scene, and it seems that the screenwriter will have to write more women's costume dramas for you in the future. ”

"Nonsense!" Li Lianjie raised his fist and threatened, "If you come up with an idea, beware of me beating you!"

After chatting with Li Lianjie for a while, Xu Wangqiu took him to meet Xie Tian and other members of the delegation.

There are many young people in Yindu institutions, but due to cultural differences, it is difficult for Li Lianjie to talk to them. Usually except for Liu Jialing, he can't find anyone to chat with at all. Now seeing Xu Wangqiu and them, Li Lianjie is like opening a chatterbox, chattering non-stop. Others thought he was talkative, but only Xu Wangqiu knew that the child was suffocated.

At half past six in the evening, the crowd in front of the Peninsula Hotel was surging, and reporters raised their long guns and short cannons one by one, and kept pressing the shutter on the stars who walked into the hotel. The opening ceremony and reception of the "Film Fortnight" will be held here, which is the first large-scale screening of mainland films in Hong Kong, and the media will naturally flock to it.

Two days ago, when the "Taiwan Bend Film Week" opened at the Hong Kong Arts Center, the Freedom Federation invited many Hong Kong celebrities to attend the event, which attracted unprecedented attention. Yindu did not want the momentum of the "Film Bi-Weekly" to be overwhelmed by the other party, and also invited stars and filmmakers to attend to build momentum for the film festival.

Stars such as Shi Hui, Chen Sisi, Bao Qijing, and Li Lianjie under Yindu Institution will naturally not be absent, and stars such as Jiang Dawei, Liang Jiahui, Wang Mingquan, and Feng Baobao, who have in-depth cooperation with Yindu, have all appeared. In addition, famous film critics in the film industry, Lin Niantong, Lev, Li Zhuotao and others also appeared at the opening ceremony.

Due to the large number of celebrities and celebrities present, the reporters kept pressing the shutter, and the scene clicked constantly, like locusts gnawing at crops. The reporters roughly counted more than 100 guests attending the opening ceremony, which was comparable to the awards party.

While taking pictures, the reporters compared the opening ceremony of the "Film Bi-Weekly" and the "Taiwan Film Festival". Different reporters have different opinions on which star is more popular in the two film festivals, and some people even quarrel over this issue.

Xu Wangqiu and the others arrived relatively late, and Xu Wangqiu and the men of the delegation changed into suits, and the women changed into the clothes provided by Pierre Cardin. As soon as they appeared in front of the Peninsula Hotel, they were immediately surrounded by reporters. The Xiangjiang reporters didn't know anyone else, only Xu Wangqiu, so they threw their questions to Xu Wangqiu.

"Mr. Xu, at the same time that you are holding the 'Film Bi-weekly Exhibition', Taiwan is also holding the 'Taiwan New Film Festival', what is your comment on this, and do you have any ideas for communicating with Taiwan filmmakers?"

"Director Xu, I heard that your film did not pass the electric inspection and was banned from being released in Xiangjiang, what do you think of this?"

"There is news that your new film has been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, is it true?"

"If you have any questions, will you ask tomorrow, there will be a special press conference tomorrow, and all your questions will be answered at that time, just let us go." We are here for a banquet, and you know that the food on the plane is unpalatable, and we ate lunch on the plane, and we didn't eat at all. Now they're starving to death. Xu Wangqiu did not answer, and smiled and asked the reporters to forgive.

The reporters laughed when they saw Xu Wangqiu say this, and they didn't embarrass them, and let them go into the hotel for dinner.

When Xu Wangqiu and the others walked into the banquet hall, it was already crowded inside. Xu Dunyang and two staff members greeted the guests at the door of the banquet hall. Xu Dunyang saw Xu Wangqiu and them arrive, smiled and said hello, and they went in by themselves.

Entering the banquet hall, Xu Wangqiu raised his eyes and swept it, and found that there were two oval-shaped luxury buffet tables on the central axis of the banquet hall, one for cold dishes and one for hot dishes, and a round wine table at the junction of the two dining tables. In the melodious piano music, well-trained waiters carefully weave between guests with plates of wine, and men in suits and leather shoes and ladies in evening dresses are talking in twos and threes.

Seeing Xu Wangqiu and them coming in, Liao Yiyuan and Fu Qi greeted them. After a few words of greeting, they took Xie Tian and Chen Gang and introduced them to some important guests. Xu Wangqiu called Li Lianjie and Liu Jialing over and asked them to take Zhang Fengyi, Gong Xue and other actors to communicate with the Xiangjiang actors present. He himself took the shape of a field and communicated with the filmmakers in Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Jiang Zuyi, the owner of Xiangjiang Anle Films, Mr. Jiang, this is the director of Tian Xiang, who is a classmate of me, and is a very good art film director. ”

"This Sister Shi Hui is one of the famous Three Princesses of the Great Wall. The eldest princess is Sister Xia Meng, Sister Shi Hui is the second princess, and Sister Sisi is the third princess. Sister Sisi, you should have seen it on TV, this year's Spring Festival Gala was hosted by her and Jiang Lili together. Sister Shi Hui, this is Tian Xiangzhuang, a college classmate of mine, and a very good art film director. ”

"This is Mr. Lin Niantong, a well-known film critic in Hong Kong, and he is a film critic I respect very much. He firmly believes that Chinese cinema is not a branch of Western cinema and has its own system. Mr. Lin has been devoting himself to exploring and discovering the aesthetic spirit of Chinese films, and wants to construct China's own film aesthetic system. Mr. Lin, this is Tian Zhizhuang, a very good art film director, and this time we brought his film "Hunting Ground Zasa". This is a very unique movie that I believe you will enjoy. ”

Xu Wangqiu was taking Tian in the shape of a field and introducing him to the Xiangjiang filmmakers present. At this moment, the sound of "Hey, Hey" came from the direction of the stage. He looked up and saw that Xu Dun was standing in front of the microphone in the middle of the rostrum, adjusting the microphone, knowing that the opening ceremony was about to start, so he walked towards the direction of the stage with Tian Xiangzhuang.

Everyone else at the scene also stopped talking, looking at Xu Dunluo on the stage, waiting for the opening ceremony to officially begin.

Xu Dunluo cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Girls, gentlemen, good evening. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the opening ceremony of the 'Selected Chinese Films of the 80s'. The "Bi-weekly Exhibition" is co-sponsored by Yindu Organization and Binbin Film Production Co., Ltd., and will be held from April 2nd to April 15th. Over the course of two weeks, 14 selected Chinese films will be screened, with five screenings per day. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Liao Yiyuan, General Manager of Yindu Institution, to deliver an opening speech. ”

The guests applauded, and Xu Wangqiu also applauded with everyone.

Liao Yiyuan walked onto the stage and said with a smile: "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to today's 'Chinese Film Biweekly Battle'. First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Qiu Degen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Far East Organization, and friends from the film industry for their strong support in making this event a smooth opening. In the next two weeks, there will be 14 excellent Chinese films to meet you one after another, and there will be many surprises waiting for you......"

After Liao Yiyuan finished speaking, Qiu Degen was invited to the stage to give a speech, and then Xie Tian was invited to the stage to give a speech.

After the speech, the hostess held a plate covered with red silk and walked up to the rostrum with elegant steps. Liao Yiyuan, Qiu Degen, and Xie Tian were quickly invited to the stage, and Xu Wangqiu was also invited to the stage as a representative of the filmmakers. They each held a pair of scissors and cut the red silk in front of them in the expectant eyes of everyone.

In the warm applause at the scene, the "Chinese Film Bi-weekly Exhibition" was officially opened.

Xu Wangqiu was really a little hungry at this time, so when he got off the stage, he took an empty plate, picked up a full plate of things he liked, found a place where no one was, and ate it with relish. He was eating soundly, when suddenly someone sat down in the opposite position. He looked up and saw that it was David Jiang, so he called "Lao Jiang", and then continued to eat his own.

David Jiang looked at Xu Wangqiu, coughed, and said in a low voice: "Wangqiu, I have something I want to tell you." ”

Xu Wangqiu glanced up at David Jiang, saw him looking at him with a serious face, and teased: "Why did you twist and pinch? It's like practicing the "Sword Technique to Warse Off Evil Spirits". Could it be that you really have a problem and want me to lose money?"

"That's what went wrong with you. David Jiang rolled his eyes, and then said with a straight face, "I have something serious to tell you." ”

Xu Wangqiu nodded: "What's going on, tell me." ”

David Jiang took a light breath and said, "That's the case." My master made a movie in Taiwan at the beginning of last year, and then there was a dispute, and my master wanted to leave Taiwan with the filmed film, but he was accused of taking the film out of the country without permission, suspected of forging documents, and was restricted from leaving the country. Recently, Taiwan announced that the evidence was insufficient and decided not to prosecute, and my master came back from Taiwan with the movie. My master was very angry about this, thinking that this was a naked humiliation to him, and he didn't want to cooperate with Taiwan anymore. I was wondering if I could work with you. ”

Xu Wangqiu didn't react for a while: "Who is your master?"

David Jiang said speechlessly: "Zhang Che." ”
