"Bang Bang ......"

The sound of crackling firecrackers came everywhere, and this year's Lantern Festival was very lively, and the children in the neighborhood were playing and frolicking outside, and the sound of frolicking and laughter was non-stop for a while.

Seeing that it was already noon, the table at Lin Qingxia's house was already full of various dishes, Lin Qingxia's mother Lan Ying came out with an apron and asked, "Where did Qingxia and Ziming go again?" I didn't see anyone early this morning, and this meal is almost ready." ”

"It should be soon, it looks like I'm going out to buy something. Lin Qingxia's father, Lin Weiliang, didn't know too well, and sat on the sofa with his lenses and read the newspaper.

Lin Weiliang, who has been retired at home for many years, has long been accustomed to reading newspapers, and this newspaper is as expensive as his children.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong......"

The doorbell rang suddenly, and Lin Qingxia's sister Lin Lixia hurriedly ran to open the door.

After the door opened, Lin Lixia was stunned for a moment, only to see Lin Qingxia and Xu Ziming carrying many valuable gifts in their hands, and there were many novelty gadgets, Lin Lixia shouted excitedly: "Mom, they are back." ”

Lin Lixia hurriedly retreated, Xu Ziming took out a gift and handed it to Lin Lixia, and said with a smile: "This is your gift, see if you like it or not." ”

Lin Lixia took the gift excitedly, and forgot to say thank you, so she happily sat down on the sofa to open the gift and look at it.

Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "This sister is too rude." ”

Lin Weiliang, who had been reading the newspaper, heard the voice, and quickly put down the newspaper in his hand, and saw that the two of them had bought a lot of things, although he was excited, but there was some blame on his mouth and said: "Buying so many delicious and wearing things, it's too expensive, and everyone is very satisfied to eat glutinous rice balls together during the Lantern Festival." ”

At this time, Lan Ying brought the last bowl of rice balls and said to the people in the hall: "The rice balls are over, everyone can eat the rice balls." ”

In the past, when Xu Ziming first came, Lin Weiliang and Lan Ying had a kind of estrangement towards Xu Ziming, a person with the status of a wealthy family, and they didn't dare to talk too much.

Fortunately, after Xu Ziming and Lin Qingxia were delayed, he basically did not have any scandals with other movie stars, and from Lin Qingxia's mouth, Lin Qingxia's parents knew more about Xu Ziming's personality.

Everyone gathered around a table to eat lunch, and Lan Ying picked up the fish and put it into Lin Qingxia's bowl on the side, and Lin Qingxia habitually put the fish aside.

Lan Ying said with concern: "Qingxia, you rarely go home, without your mother by your side, you see that you have lost a lot of weight." ”

"Where you lose weight, where your daughter and I are thin, healthy. Lin Qingxia spoke to her mother a little coquettishly.

She also pointed at Xu Ziming intentionally and said, "You ask Ziming, if I eat well in Hong Kong, how can I lose weight." ”

Lan Ying glanced at her daughter and said with a smile: "You are still that stubborn, I don't know if you are good in Hong Kong, but you are at home, you have to eat well." ”

Xu Ziming smiled with envious eyes: "Qingxia, what my aunt said is very right." ”

Following Xu Ziming's topic, Lan Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, and she became troubled, and asked, "When did you two do that?" ”

Lan Ying's words were very vague, and most of the people present knew what she meant in her words, so they almost said it directly.

Of course, what Lan Ying asked was the marriage of the two, Lin Qingxia is thirty-two, if she drags it out more, she will soon become an old girl, and Lan Ying, a mother, is of course in a hurry.

Lin Qingxia didn't say anything, she still ate the rice balls, and Xu Ziming also silently picked up the rice in front of everyone, and the scene was extremely cold for a while

。

Lan Ying coughed deliberately, and both parties pretended not to understand, and she had no choice but to change the topic: "The rice balls taste very good, try more and see how it tastes." ”

.............

During this holiday, Hu Huizhong happened to be in Taiwan, and Lin Qingxia was in Hong Kong during this time, and she was addicted to playing mahjong when she had free time.

On the afternoon of this year's Lantern Festival, she simply called Hu Huizhong and Hu Yinmeng to play mahjong together.

Needless to say, Hu Yinmeng has lived alone since his divorce from Li Ao, and recently filmed the movie "We All Grew Up Like This", if Xu Ziming remembers well, this should be the last work in Hu Yinmeng's acting life.

"Six of a kind. ”

"Bump!"

"Wait, Kong!"

"Slow, I'm still not barried, I'm nonsense!"

"What's the matter, sister, you don't let go of your chicken! Why do you always play my cards." Lin Lixia complained.

"That's it, everyone else has been abolished by you. Hu Huizhong was also quite disappointed.

"Don't say more, get the money soon. ”

“......”

Lin Qingxia laughed and spread her hand, Lin Lixia threw the two yuan coin with a bitter face, and then rubbed the mahjong depressedly to prepare for the next game.

Playing mahjong and poker during the festival is the reserved program of Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars during the Chinese New Year, and this trend has been passed down from the 60s to the present.

Lin Qingxia is not too good at playing cards, and Taiwanese mahjong is just making do, but there is no doubt that novices are generally very addicted to cards, and they can't put it down even more after playing a few handfuls.

Everyone doesn't gamble much, and the gambling money of only two yuan is nothing to several big stars.

Among the four, Lin Lixia, Hu Huizhong and Lin Qingxia are not very good at playing cards, but Hu Yinmeng looks very elegant, but he plays a good hand.

It's a pity that Hu Yinmeng's mind is more complicated, always thinking about making a big name, and the chicken Hu is too lazy to Hu even if he draws himself, and the result is that the best card skills are also posted a lot.

Xu Ziming answered the phone, walked to Lin Qingxia and sat down, and asked, "How much have you won?"

Lin Lixia pouted and said, "Sister's luck is too good, she has won more than three hundred." ”

"You lost the most, right?" Xu Ziming asked with a smile. He only watched Lin Lixia play a few times from the side, and looking at her expression, he also knew that he had lost a lot.

Hu Yinmeng sighed and said: "I listened to all the cards in the last hand, and I was going to draw myself, but I was preempted by Qingxia and your chicken." ”

Lin Qingxia smiled deliberately: "You are too greedy, if you want to see it, you will accept it, and the chicken beard will also win money." ”

Hu Huizhong doesn't like to play cards very much, she was purely called by Lin Qingxia as a sparring partner, she held her cheeks in her hand, touched the cards with one hand and said: "Qingxia's luck is really good, the three of us lose, and she wins alone." ”

Listening to Hu Huizhong's words, Xu Ziming remembered a sentence in his previous life that described Lin Qingxia's playing cards: Lin Qingxia is a winning general at the gambling table, obviously playing cards very badly, but she has good luck again and again, and she can make her card friends angry to death.

Hu Huizhong then complained again: "If Zhou Yanfa sits next to me, maybe I can kill all sides." ”

Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "You really think that Zhou Runfa is the God of Gamblers, I don't believe that there is really such a god." ”

A group of people played mahjong, and they talked about "God of Gamblers", "Gambler", and "Saint of Gambling", which were once popular, but have become works of the past

。

These works are all classics that have swept Hong Kong, and each one is a masterpiece of tens of millions of dollars.

Xu Ziming didn't sit next to him for a long time, and the phone from the film company in Hong Kong called again.

Xu Ziming almost forgot that the fantasy film "Zombie Supreme" has completed a series of editing, and it will be released soon, counting the date, Xu Ziming has been in Taiwan for more than a week.

At present, Xu Ziming still has some things to deal with in Taiwan, such as the establishment of the Oriental Film Company's branch in Taiwan.

Looking at the few people who were still playing mahjong, Xu Ziming went out directly and took the car to the location of the branch of Oriental Film Company in Taiwan.

The Taiwan branch of the Oriental Film Company, as a distribution company, does not have the authority to shoot films independently, and Xu Ziming did this to directly save the trouble of finding a distribution company for Hong Kong film sales in Taiwan in the past.

In fact, what is there to look at in the company, Xu Ziming is idle and panicked, so he will come to this place.

Xu Ziming didn't stay here for long, and soon met Zhang Aijia who came by car.

Zhang Aijia is basically filming "The Favorite" in Taiwan these times, and the filming has been completed a few days ago, and after waiting for the editing process, it can basically be released in theaters after some time.

Zhang Aijia will come here, that is when the film company told her that Xu Ziming is in Taiwan, Zhang Aijia probably guessed the purpose of Xu Ziming's coming to Taiwan, so Zhang Aijia also came to the branch to try her luck, unexpectedly, Xu Ziming was really in the branch.

"Mr. Xu, "Favorite" has been basically produced, can it be released as soon as possible. Zhang Aijia's first words when she saw Xu Ziming were about the theater release.

The company's "Zombie Supreme" has also been basically completed, and it is waiting for the theater release. Xu Ziming said.

Zhang Aijia said helplessly: "Then "Favorite" must be released later?"

When a movie is released, it basically takes a few weeks, not to mention "Zombie Supreme", how long can this fantasy film that Xu Ziming values very much be released.

Xu Ziming asked Zhang Aijia rhetorically: "If "Favorite" is not afraid of poor box office, the theater chain can also release two films at the same time. ”

If two films are released at the same time, the box office will definitely be squeezed and diverted, not to mention literary films like "The Favorite".

Since Oriental Film Company has customized a series of quarterly and annual evaluations, many directors will try to avoid releasing other movies with good reputations at the same time in order to strive for a good schedule and increase the box office of the movie.

Zhang Aijia said with a firm face: "Of course, it's good if the two films are released at the same time." The quality of the movie "Favorite" is there, and it is not afraid of the impact of other films. ”

Seeing that his attitude was so distinct, Xu Ziming turned to the assistant Wang Jiaojiao beside him and said: "If you call back to the head office, you will say that the East Cinema Line is responsible for the release of "Zombie Supreme", and the West Cinema Line is responsible for the release of "Favorite". ”

The East Cinema Line here is the abbreviation of the fifteen cinema chains privately owned by Xu Ziming and mainly the Oriental Cinema, while the West Cinema Line is the abbreviation of the thirteen cinema chains leased by Pan Disheng from Shaw Brothers.

In other words, there are 28 theaters in the theater chain of the Oriental Film Company.

Xu Ziming's gestures revealed the majesty that Zhang Aijia couldn't help but admire, a sentence can decide a movie, this is what a high-ranking person can influence.

Zhang Aijia couldn't help but think in her heart, in Hong Kong, how many people have to worry and fear because of the schedule choice of a movie, this is the reality.
