Chapter 61: The premiere of "Best Partner".
Xu Xiaofeng sang "The Season of the Wind", Xu Ziming has memories of his previous life, and he is very familiar with listening to Xu Xiaofeng singing on TV again. However, Tan Yonglin's cover Xu Ziming is unheard of, and I feel that the singing is not bad.
After listening to the two of them sing "The Season of the Wind", Guan Zhilin began to point out and said: "Tan Yonglin's cover is very good, but it is worse than the original song. Then a pair of eyes stared at Xu Ziming.
Xu Ziming noticed the feeling of Guan Zhilin's glance, and he also replied to Guan Zhilin with his eyes, and took in Guan Meiren's eyes with a playful meaning.
Guan Zhilin was unhappy and hurriedly got up: "It's you, you are the original singer of this song." She was a little angry that Xu Ziming's thief's eyes were slippery, as if he was about to eat her in one bite.
She Guan Zhilin is still a small jasper, and she has seen a lot of handsome men, but this gentleman who occupies a very good position in her impression will actually look at herself with such a look, although she is secretly happy in her heart, but she is annoyed by Xu Ziming's vision.
Xu Ziming also began to collect his attention and made a serious gesture, when he just wanted to speak, Guan Shan brought two dishes from the kitchen and fried two dishes, and did not forget to say: "Don't watch TV yet, eat." ”
On the meal, Xu Ziming's position was opposite Guan Zhilin, Guan Shan, as an elder, naturally sat on the top seat, and Xu Ziming and Guan Zhilin sat on the left and right sides of the square table.
Guan Shan's craftsmanship is not particularly good, so when he just put a piece of meat into the bowl, he said awkwardly: "Mr. Xu, my craftsmanship is not particularly good, and I forgive me for the shortcomings." ”
Xu Ziming was also curious about why Guan Shan was so polite to him, and he always called Mr. Xu vigorously, he said: "Uncle Guan, why are you so polite, just call me Ah Ming." ”
Guan Zhilin said nonsense: "Yes, Dad, it's okay to call him Mingzai." ”
Guan Shan glared at Guan Zhilin, and then said, "What is it like to call Ming Tsai, it is better to call Ah Ming." ”
Xu Ziming's startled heart calmed down instantly, and he thought that Guan Shan didn't like his politeness very much.
Guan Shan asked again: "Ah Ming, these gifts you bought for Jiahui today probably cost a lot of money." ”
Xu Ziming scratched his head and said lightly: "Uncle Guan, it didn't cost much, it's only two million." ”
"What!" Not only Guan Shan couldn't help but be surprised, but even Guan Zhilin on the other side was also full of incredulity.
Guan Shan muttered in his heart, two million, this can save the film company he opened at the beginning, and it is enough for him to make a few very good films, he began to feel a little annoyed in his heart, why didn't he meet this Xu Ziming earlier, otherwise how could his company go bankrupt, and now he has to make films everywhere to make a living.
Xu Ziming didn't expect their reaction to be so surprised, it stands to reason that Guan Zhilin's performance should not be so drastic, he Xu Ziming recently set up a security company, and it was a big sum of more than 30 million at once, and the superstar film company lent to Taiwan was not less than 10 million yuan, and 2 million is really not much in Xu Ziming's opinion.
Guan Zhilin is the more she looks at Xu Ziming, the more she feels right, this Xu Ziming is not only a wealthy man, but also has Kowloon Bus under his umbrella, and is also the major shareholder of Xinyi City, such an excellent man is the favorite object of many beautiful women.
Tsk, she began to get proud again, not to be defeated under her pomegranate skirt.
Xu Ziming picked up the dish, ate it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guan, this scrambled egg with tomatoes tastes good, I like it very much." ”
Guan Zhilin interjected: "My dad is the best at this dish, and the other dishes are either salty or light." ”
Seeing his daughter revealing her scars like this, Guan Shan smiled helplessly: "I'm Jiahui, I'm so willful, Mr. Xu should be more considerate." ”
Xu Ziming listened very comfortably in his heart, but he didn't expect that there were so many deep meanings hidden in this small sentence, it seems that this Uncle Guan is optimistic about himself. Xu Ziming said: "Uncle Guan, if there is anything I need help with, just say it." Xu Ziming hit the snake with a stick, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Guan Shan looked at his daughter Guan Zhilin with great satisfaction, looking like you have a good eye, Guan Zhilin was a little shy, and her face was slightly red.
"With your words, I am relieved. "There is nothing difficult about Guan Shan, since the company went bankrupt, he can still make a living by receiving films, not to mention that Guan Zhilin also started to make a film debut not long ago to make money for his family.
Fortunately, Guan Zhilin signed a contract with Xu Ziming's New Art City, and the remuneration was relatively high, Guan Shan didn't dare to have too much extravagance, otherwise it would be easy to be looked down upon.
Xu Ziming also ate with interest, and some things must not be said again, otherwise it will hurt the self-esteem of others.
After the meal, Guan Shan planned to send Xu Ziming to the car, and Guan Zhilin also wanted to come out, but Xu Ziming stopped him, and the two gave up. Xu Ziming didn't drink any alcohol, not to mention that there were two bodyguards and drivers in the car.
................
Time turns, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the time is quietly approaching April. Xinyicheng's "Best Partner" is completely completed, and the next thing is to release.
As a masterpiece of New Art City following "Funny Times", how could Lei Juekun and other shareholders miss a good opportunity for publicity.
To make this movie, just inviting Xu Guanjie, Zhang Aijia and other actors who are not in the new art city cost hundreds of thousands, not to mention hiring a special effects team to produce special effects, which cost four or five million yuan in scattered and scattered totals, which looks at the entire Xiangjiang, except for Golden Harvest has invested in several films that focus on the American market, it is impossible for the whole Hong Kong to reach such a high cost.
For the premiere of "Best Partner", Lei Juekun chose his original Lisheng Cinema, which has a good address. However, it is now collectively referred to as the Golden Princess Cinema Line.
In addition to Xu Ziming, Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei, Liu Jialiang and other screenwriters and directors, the main actors of "Best Partner" such as Zhang Aijia, Mecca, and Xu Guanjie also appeared on the stage of the premiere ceremony.
The reporter of "Oriental Daily" pointed the microphone at Lei Juekun and said: "Mr. Lei, when "Best Partner" had not yet started filming, you never revealed the screenwriter of the script, so can you reveal it now?" ”
Lei Juekun said: "This question, you might as well wait for the reporter to wait until after watching the movie, we will discuss it." ”
The female reporter's face was full of embarrassment, but she was looking forward to it.
"Mr. Xu, as the actor of this movie, do you think this movie is to your taste. A reporter asked, but there was no one to be seen.
Huang Baiming glanced at Xu Ziming with a slight smile and said, "This is a bit abrupt, it's Xu Guanjie who asked." Huang Baiming was afraid that Xu Ziming would misunderstand.
"I know, thank you. Xu Ziming glanced at Huang Baiming knowingly.
Xu Guanjie said into the microphone: "Thank you for your concern, I feel that this film has good flying car shots, and compared with previous action movies, there are many comedy colors, I believe this is an absolute blockbuster." ”
Zhang Aijia, as the heroine of this movie, has naturally attracted much attention, and there are naturally many questions about her.
Xu Ziming enjoys this quiet and unpicked up very much, since he went to Guan Zhilin's house, for two whole months, he has been on the set in a down-to-earth manner, and the instinct of being a good screenwriter.
At the same time, if I have time, I will look through the book given by Huang Baiming, which embodies a lot of his hard work, the media reports on him are not as good as before, and he is rarely reported on his news, if Xu Ziming's popularity in the past can be said to be a first-line star, then now he is a third-line star.
Xu Guanjie said it so miraculously, and all the reporters were curious, full of expectations for this movie that has long been famous, whether it is good or not, this is really worth looking forward to.
"Miss Zhang, I heard that the heroine of "Best Partner" was originally going to choose Miss Lin Qingxia, but Miss Lin Qingxia refused the invitation of Xinyicheng, and later discussed the selection of Miss Zhang to play, I don't know if this matter is true. This strange question and answer suddenly caused an even greater upheaval on the scene that was about to calm down.
Zhang Aijia's face was very embarrassed, and she didn't know how to speak.
Xu Ziming naturally knew about this matter, and could feel the awkward Cantonese of this foreigner lady, and said in English to the foreigner lady who asked the question: "May I ask which newspaper the young lady is from, today is the premiere ceremony, we don't talk about these, if you want to talk about it, please Miss Trouble wait until the premiere is over, and I will accompany the young lady to talk about this issue." ”
The reporter named Budani was a little nervous, and was stunned by Xu Ziming's blunt attitude, "I am a reporter from The Sun. ”
Although the sales and popularity of The Sun are very high, many people have a bad impression of the Sun, especially the intellectuals.
Intellectuals criticized that the Sun's methods of reporting news were crude, unprofessional, and unneutral, and that it often used sensationalism to stimulate sales, and that its target readers were basically people with limited academic qualifications and knowledge, and that it met people's low-level needs.
Nonetheless, there are also surveys that the readers of The Sun are twice as high as the Times, the knowledge-based, high-end newspaper of the same group, among the ABC1 senior readership.
Xu Ziming naturally does not have a good impression of such a newspaper, and it is just perfunctory to talk about it afterwards, he believes that as long as this movie is a blockbuster, the audience will not decide who the protagonist is at the beginning?
After everyone saw that the two of them had chatted for a few words, Budani did not say anything more, and the confusion just now turned into doubt.
Lei Juekun, Xu Ziming and others, after asking the media reporters to make some inquiries, quickly ended the interview, began to put down the canvas, and the projector began to put "Best Partner" on the canvas.
A shot that makes Xu Ziming familiar and can no longer be familiar appeared, the icon of the new art city is still the same, Xu Ziming jokingly called "C with C in the middle, three colors are superimposed, like a sandwich cake". After that, it was accompanied by a voice, shining a few eyes at the same time, and then appeared, the English name of the new art city.
The prologue of the movie is exactly the same as what Xu Ziming has seen in his previous life, and King Kong played by Xu Guanjie flies by a glider in the air, bringing the four big characters of the best partner.
However, in the screenwriter's planning column, two names appeared, Xu Ziming and Huang Baiming.
