Chapter 55: Meet Lin Qingxia Again
Lin Qingxia was trotting, and suddenly heard someone calling her from behind, so she immediately slowed down her pace, turned around and looked back, only to see a somewhat familiar man behind her.
Lin Qingxia looked at Xu Ziming strangely, and asked suspiciously, "This gentleman, have we met?"
Although Lin Qingxia felt that Xu Ziming was a little familiar, the Taiwanese media's reports on him were somewhat weakened compared to before, but she was still prone to preconceived ideas, thinking that Xu Ziming was like a reporter, which made her originally calm mood begin to crack again.
Xu Ziming didn't want to have any misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained: "Miss Lin, don't get me wrong, I'm not a reporter for newspapers and magazines. I flew here from Hong Kong to find your film. ”
Lin Qingxia clasped her hands, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes: "I don't have the heart now, I don't want to film." But your name, I'm a little familiar with it, as if I've heard someone say it. ”
Xu Ziming smiled bitterly in his heart, and the refusal was not too simple, there was still a chance, he smiled: "It should be Ms. Qiong Yao who told you." ”
Lin Qingxia nodded her head, looked carefully at Xu Ziming in front of her, and asked with a little surprise after a long time: "Are you the Xu Ziming of the Hong Kong Xu family." ”
Lin Qingxia suddenly remembered the newspaper she had read recently, and some of the content on it was about introducing Xu Ziming's wealthy feast.
It can be said that that incident also caused a sensation in Taiwan, and the Taiwan media hyped it up even more than the Hong Kong media, and the original 20 million Hong Kong dollars became 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which was converted into nearly 100 million new Taiwan dollars.
It is because of such a grand birthday banquet that some celebrities and tycoons in Taiwan have a new understanding of the Xu family, a wealthy family in Hong Kong.
Seeing Xu Ziming nodding, Lin Qingxia suddenly smiled strangely: "Mr. Xu's Chinese is very good, if I don't recognize you carefully, I thought you were an authentic Taiwanese." ”
"Hong Kong also attaches great importance to the Chinese language, but there are too many Cantonese speakers, which naturally makes people think that Hong Kong people do not speak Chinese very much. Xu Ziming explained.
Lin Qingxia nodded, and added: I found that you yourself seem to be younger and taller than what I saw in the newspaper. “
Xu Ziming said: "You yourself are more real and beautiful than what I see in the photos." ”
Lin Qingxia then walked aside, and Xu Ziming also followed.
She suddenly turned back to Xu Ziming and said: "Do I have much intersection with Mr. Xu, how could Mr. Xu think of coming from Hong Kong to find me by plane, I'm a little curious." ”
"I don't know why I came to Hong Kong to find you, but Uncle Huang Zhan has a compliment to you, which impresses me deeply. I have a still from your "Outside the Window", and I like that still very much, it is a film shot by Miss Lin in 73. Maybe that still gave me the motivation to come to Hong Kong to find you. ”
Lin Qingxia giggled, "Mr. Xu's words are very funny, but I like them a little." ”
Lin Qingxia also remembers her work "Outside the Window" vividly, she herself began to become popular in Taiwan in the 70s, and last year's "Blue Blood and Yellow Flower" was not a sensation when it was released in Hong Kong. But he inexplicably fell into a trough in his career because of Qin Han's entanglement.
In 1981, she made a comeback and participated in the film "Love Killing" directed by Tan Jiaming and filmed in the United States.
Lin Qingxia also knows some details about Xu Ziming, and the conversation between the two lacks the embarrassing scene before, and the conversation is more natural.
However, Lin Qingxia is very concerned about the recent trivial matters, and she has reservations about her conversation with Xu Ziming, and she doesn't dare to talk too deeply.
Xu Ziming and Lin Qingxia are also talking for the first time, Lin Qingxia's attitude, he can understand very well, about the filming, he wants to say it.
Lin Qingxia said slightly apologetically: "I'm very happy to talk to you about this, I think my mood is better." But when you talk about making movies, I want to think about it quietly alone. I'm in a bit of a mood right now, and I don't want to touch it right away. ”
Xu Ziming knew that Lin Qingxia in front of him did not directly refuse, but left space for his imagination, and his heart was even more determined to complete this matter.
Xu Ziming looked at his watch, took one hand into his trouser pocket, and wanted to hand his business card to Lin Qingxia, but he didn't find it, and said embarrassedly: "Miss Lin, chatting with you is very pleasant, just like having afternoon tea with an old friend I haven't seen for many years." But it's not early, and I still have some things to do, so I won't bother. ”
Lin Qingxia didn't expect Xu Ziming to take the initiative to leave, and the worry in her heart gradually dissipated, nodding and smiling: "It's important to get down to business, Mr. Xu, I hope to have a chance to see you again in the future."
Xu Ziming smiled: "Me too." After saying that, he left very chicly.
"Hey, Mr. Xu!" Lin Qingxia suddenly found that there was an extra thing like a document on the ground, and when she bent over to pick it up and hurriedly shouted to catch up, Xu Ziming had already lost his trace at the two corners of the trail.
She didn't know which way Xu Ziming was going, so she had to say to herself, "I don't have a contact address, how can I give this thing over." ”
Back at the hotel, the time had changed from morning to afternoon.
Xu Ziming felt a little tired, Sun Wugao walked in from outside the door and asked, "Mr. Xu, how did you discuss the matter with Miss Lin?" From Xu Ziming's expression, he could know a little bit about it.
Xu Ziming nodded, but did not speak, Sun Wugao showed a face full of disappointment, this opportunity is unattainable, and it is really hard to say whether he can know Lin Qingxia's traces later.
Xu Ziming said: "Miss Lin has no plans to take over the film now, we need to delay it for a few more days, and there is still enough time for the casting of "Best Partner". ”
Sun Wu overestimated that Xu Ziming should not have seen any reports about the Hong Kong movie box office recently, and the new art city just called to urge Xu Ziming to make a decision as soon as possible, Lei Juekun is planning to prepare to start filming "Best Partner" in advance.
"Why is it that Xinyicheng urgently needs to start filming "Best Partner", didn't the meeting say that it would give half a month to make that decision, why is it so urgent in less than five days?" Xu Ziming now knows that some shareholders of Lei Juekun are urging him to choose the heroine, if he can't negotiate with Lin Qingxia as soon as possible, then the historical "Best Partner" will still be starring the original cast. Xu Ziming didn't dislike the original team, he wanted his favorite goddess to ask Hong Kong in advance.
Sun Wugao only felt the matter of Guan Du's personal assistant at this time, how embarrassed he was, paused, and slowly explained: "Mr. Xu, the box office of "Happy Fairy Nest" released in Xinyi City is not ideal, but "Modern Bodyguard" released by Golden Harvest in the same period is a big hit......"
Xu Ziming raised his hand and made a gesture to stop Sun Wugao from continuing to speak.
He didn't know that Golden Harvest and Xu's Film Company's cooperation "Modern Bodyguard" won 17 million at the box office this year, and also when it was recently painted, breaking the box office miracle created by "Senior Brother and Brother" last year.
And "Happy Fairy Nest" released in New Arts City is less than half of the box office of Golden Harvest. Lei Juekun now wants to vent his anger, so he can only hope to start filming "Best Partner" as soon as possible.
Xu Ziming said calmly: "Wait a little longer, if it really doesn't work, then notify them in advance, let them choose the roles and start filming as soon as possible." Xu Ziming also knew that the start of filming could not be delayed, but he still hoped to convince Lin Qingxia.
Sun Wugao was obviously very anxious, and suggested, "Why don't we go directly to Miss Lin's house tomorrow and talk to her." ”
Xu Ziming raised his eyebrows and said: "No, last time, Lan Ying had a mustard for us, not to mention that Miss Lin has not agreed, so going directly will make her have a smaller probability of filming, what we need now is to wait, maybe the situation will improve in a few days." ”
Sun Wugao did not continue to argue, and said with some concern: "The validity period of our visa is half a month, so will it not be enough to wait like this?" As soon as he finished speaking, a crying sound came from the house next door.
Xu Ziming was already very tired, but now there was a noisy sound, which made him sleep. Xu Ziming pointed at Sun Wugao and said, "You go out and see what the situation is." ”
By the time Xu Ziming had just filled a glass of water and was about to drink it, Sun Wugao had already understood the situation outside. Xu Ziming blew on the water glass, and the hot air circled next to the water glass, covering his face a little red.
"Mr. Xu, I just learned about the situation outside, it is the two couples who are staying here have lost their visas, and I found out that they are also from Hong Kong. Sun Wugao explained to Xu Ziming what he had just learned.
"Oh, the visa is off. Xu Ziming said flatly, wait, after putting down the water glass, he suddenly consciously checked his clothes and pants, and after searching for no results, he turned over into his suitcase like crazy.
"Not here?" Xu Ziming said to himself.
"Ah Gao, is my tourist visa with you?" Xu Ziming pinned all his expectations on Sun Wugao, he really couldn't remember where his tourist visa was, now that the visa is gone, it will be very troublesome to reapply for it, in this case, it will take many days, otherwise how could the two couples cry heartbreakingly.
Sun Wugao scratched the back of his head and looked at Xu Ziming in confusion: "Mr. Xu, I remember that from the moment you got off the plane, the visa has always been kept by you. ”
Xu Ziming knew that something had happened and he lost his visa, and he couldn't remember when he lost it, and the only remedy was to make up the visa, so he had to find help from the people of Superstar Pictures, who were more capable than him in Taiwan.
Xu Ziming asked Sun Wugao to call Qiong Yao according to the phone number provided by Superstar Pictures, but he didn't get through, so he changed the phone number of Sheng Zuru who came to pick up the airport before.
Fortunately, Sheng Zuru's phone call was successful, and Xu Ziming handed over the matter of reapplying for a visa to him.
However, due to holidays, the time to reapply for a visa will be reissued in a few days, and Xu Ziming is also very helpless, this matter will delay his journey.
