Chapter 80: The First Talk of Cooperation
Zheng Yan did not refuse Li Yanran's father's kindness, and together with Li Yanran, followed Li Bin to the position in the hall.
Zheng Yan saw the direction in which Li Bin was walking, and knew that he was going to introduce Xiang Huaqiang, the investor of the movie "God of Gamblers". As the investor of the film and the organizer of this premiere and dinner, he can be said to be the well-deserved protagonist tonight, and Xiang Huaqiang is surrounded by a group of people at this time.
Zheng Yan is also very familiar with Xiang Huaqiang. knows that in addition to being a bigwig on Gangcheng Road and a bigwig in the entertainment industry, he is also an actor himself. The Yongsheng Film Company he established will be prosperous for more than ten years in the future. Before this, Zheng Yan never thought that he could have anything to do with him.
"Hua Qiang. Li Bin shouted at Xiang Huaqiang in the crowd.
"Brother Bin, why are you here? I'm done with this movie. Xiang Huaqiang broke free from the crowd and said to Li Bin.
Although I listened to Li Yanran's tone before coming, Li Yanran's family should have a good relationship with Xiang Huaqiang. But hearing the conversation between Li Bin and Xiang Huaqiang at this moment, I am afraid that the two families are not just on good terms.
It's just that Zheng Yan is even more strange in his heart, it stands to reason that judging from the situation of Li Yanran's family, the Li family in the future should not be without fame in Hong Kong City. But Zheng Yan had never heard of it, but before Zheng Yan could think about it, Li Bin's voice came again.
"I saw Yanran as soon as I came in, she came over with her friends to play, just to introduce you to you. This is Zheng Yan, one of my juniors. Originally, the technology company did a good job, but recently suddenly established an entertainment company, and also wants to make movies, so you can help more in the future. ”
After Li Bin finished talking to Xiang Huaqiang, he said to Zheng Yan: "Zheng Yan, this is my friend, you are the same as Yanran, just call Uncle Xiang." The movie you are watching today was shot by his company. ”
"Hello Uncle Xiang. Out of politeness, Zheng Yan still greeted Xiang Huaqiang first.
When Xiang Huaqiang heard Zheng Yan speak standard Mandarin, he felt strange in his heart. He and Li Bin have known each other for many years, and they never knew that he still had juniors in the mainland.
"Zheng Yan's family is from the mainland. Don't look at him young, he is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which he created himself in a year. He has a branch in Hong Kong City, and he met Yanran when he came to Hong Kong City to handle company affairs. In the crash at the airport some time ago, Yanran and Zheng Yan were on the plane, and fortunately, Zheng Yan saved Yanran. Li Bin also saw Xiang Huaqiang's doubts, so he explained. In order not to let Zheng Yan be looked down upon, he also briefly talked about Zheng Yan's assets.
Xiang Huaqiang was also taken aback when he heard Li Bin's introduction. The rich people in Hong Kong City can be said to have grabbed a lot of money. Among the people Xiang Huaqiang came into contact, there are not a few billionaires. But like Zheng Yan, who is so young, has not yet created a great foundation with his own efforts. Although Zheng Yan looks like a junior, Xiang Huaqiang doesn't completely treat him as a junior.
At tonight's premiere ceremony, although the two bigwigs, Uncle Shao and Zou Huai, did not come, but the Shaw Brothers and Jiahe also sent people to attend. After Li Bin introduced Xiang Huaqiang, he introduced the heads of the two families to Zheng Yan.
In Zheng Yan's view, the biggest gain tonight is to meet the person in charge of wireless. Whether it is a movie that Zheng Yan is preparing or a TV series that is preparing to be filmed in the future, many artists from wireless are needed.
There is no doubt about the influence of wireless in the entertainment circle of Hong Kong City, and the artist training class of wireless is known as the "Whampoa Military Academy for Hong Kong City artists". The trainees who came out of the wireless artist training class occupied at least half of the screen of Hong Kong City's film and television works for a long time.
After Li Bin introduced some of his friends, Li Yanran really didn't want to stay with a group of old men, so she pulled Zheng Yan back to her original position.
After all, Liu Yuhua is also one of the protagonists of the movie, so when Zheng Yan and Li Yanran came back, Liu Yuhua was also overcrowded. Among them, Zheng Yan found a person he had always wanted to get to know - Zhou Xingchi.
I have to admit that Chow Xingchi is indeed a legend in the film industry in Hong Kong City. After entering the film industry, it rose rapidly. Throughout the 90s, Zhou Xingchi alone occupied half of the country. As long as Zhou Xingchi's movie is released, there is no suspense, and the box office results will at least rank in the top three of the year. There has even been an annual box office list, and the movies starring Zhou Xingchi occupy the top five.
At this time, Zhou Xingchi is not a star master, and he is only a star boy at present. The focus of his work has always been on the shooting of TV dramas, and it is only this year that he began to transform into films. has just won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan Province for "Thunderbolt Pioneer", which can be regarded as a budding figure in the film industry.
After Liu Hua's introduction, because they were all young people, they quickly became one. Zheng Yan is interested in making friends with Zhou Xingchi, and Zhou Xingchi is also looking for more shooting opportunities for his transformation, and the two can be said to have a very happy conversation.
"Brother Xing, I recently set up an entertainment company called Longteng Entertainment, and I am currently planning a movie, I don't know if you are interested in trying the male number one. Zheng Yan saw that the conversation was almost over, and directly stated his purpose.
Among the scripts that Zheng Yan has written so far, one of them is Zhou Xingchi's famous work "The Saint of Gambling". Although "The Saint of Gambling" in the previous life was only a follow-up work after the success of "God of Gamblers", it still won the top of the annual box office list with the cooperation of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, a pair of golden partners. Although the current Zhou Xingchi has only just entered the film circle and has not yet created his own nonsensical style, Zheng Yan is still full of confidence in him.
"Zheng Yan, if it's convenient, can you let me read the script first. You know, I'm just starting to make movies now, so..."
Although Zhou Xingchi is looking for opportunities for himself, he doesn't want to take on the drama casually, and he still wants to find a role that suits him.
Although Zhou Xingchi didn't say it all, Zheng Yan also understood what he meant. During the transition period, actors are most afraid of endless films for the sake of exposure. It is impossible for every movie to succeed, and once there are many failures, the actors will also be labeled as bad movies.
"No problem, Brother Xing, I'll have someone send you the script. I hope you can think about it, because I really can't think of a suitable lead actor other than you. Zheng Yan said half-jokingly.
Zheng Yan himself didn't think that he would settle the matter through a simple communication tonight. As long as you get to know each other, the follow-up things will be much easier. Moreover, today's Hong Kong City movies have begun to implement the box office dividend system under the leadership of Golden Harvest, so as long as the actors themselves are willing to act, there is no problem in coordination.
