Chapter 101: The Liu Family's Night Talk
After Zheng Yan finished talking with Liu Yuhua and Zhou Xingchi, he turned his attention to Zhang Guorong, who was currently in trouble.
"Brother Rong, what are your new plans after returning to Hong Kong City this time?"
"What, you want to cooperate with me too?" Zhang Guorong said with a smile.
"I really mean this, but I don't know if Brother Rong will give you a chance. ”
Zhang Guorong saw that Zheng Yan was not joking, although he had no plans to work at the moment, he did not refuse directly, and waited for Zheng Yan's next step.
"Brother Rong, I still have a script here, although it is a literary film, but compared with the "Gambling Saint" that is being released and "The Gambler", which will start filming soon, I have higher expectations for this script, so there has been no suitable candidate. ”
Zheng Yan was not temporary, Zheng Yan had already written the script for the movie "Farewell My Concubine". It's just that he shot a few years in advance, and Zheng Yan is not sure if he can achieve the effect of his previous life. Speaking of "Farewell My Concubine", even after twenty or thirty years, it is still the most successful literary film in the history of Chinese films. It has swept various international awards and was named one of the 100 most successful films in global history by Time Magazine. and broke the curse of literary films not selling well, and successfully harvested more than 30 million US dollars at the box office.
It's just that Zheng Yan thought that the current Zhang Guorong is also at a low point in his life, and many moods may be similar to Cheng Dieyi's mood in the movie, and it may have a miraculous effect. But if the desired effect is not achieved, Zheng Yan is not ready to let the film and television be released.
"Literary films?" Zhang Guorong asked strangely.
If it is a commercial film, Zhang Guorong is not surprised, after all, there are many directors who are keen on literary films, but there are very few companies willing to invest in literary films. But precisely because it is a literary film, it has aroused Zhang Guorong's interest.
"It's really a literary film, but I plan to create a literary film that has both a reputation and a blockbuster, and can also win international awards. ”
Not only Zhang Guorong, but Liu Huahua and others, who were originally chatting, were also frightened by Zheng Yan's bold words. If it weren't for Zheng Yan, who had a good relationship, they would probably all say a word, and the toad yawned, so big. Needless to say, Zheng Yan, a newcomer who has just stepped into the film and television industry, even the most well-known director in Hong Kong City does not dare to say this.
Zheng Yan looked at everyone, and was just about to speak, when Liu Wei suddenly walked in.
"Zheng Yan, grandpa sent someone to let us go back. ”
Zheng Yan knew that the Liu family probably knew the identity of today's guest, and wanted to learn something from himself. Zheng Yan also knew that another east wind he was waiting for was coming.
"Brother Rong, I'll give you the script when I have time, and I'll talk about it after you read it. Zheng Yan said to the others again: "If there is something at home today, I won't accompany you." ”
After Zheng Yan confessed to Li Bin and others, he went to Liu Lao's courtyard with Liu Wei.
At this time, in addition to Liu Lao, Liu Wei's father Liu Jiangong, second uncle Liu Jianye and third uncle Liu Jiancheng were all there.
"Grandpa, uncle, second uncle, third uncle. After Zheng Yan entered the house, he greeted them one by one.
"Xiao Yan, you have made a lot of trouble this time, you have invited three of the four major families in Hong Kong City, and there are heirs of several other major families, you must know that even the government may not invite so many people now. I'm afraid you're not just here for you and Xiaowei's clubhouse, right? There are no outsiders here, so what do you have to say? Liu Lao said to Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan knew that the goal he wanted to achieve with this opening was basically completed, and tonight was the final highlight.
"Grandpa, actually, I didn't expect so many people to come this time. Originally, he just asked Yanran's father to help and invited a few people with status in Hong Kong City to cheer for the show. On the one hand, we will increase the weight of our club and accumulate contacts; on the other hand, although the return of the port city cannot be changed, there are still many regimes hostile to our country, and the return of the port city will not be so smooth. I learned in the port city that at present, the remarks that are not favorable to the mainland are everywhere, and many people in the port city have already begun to apply for immigration and transfer assets. When it comes to the return of 97, no one can say what will happen. However, there is a special phenomenon in the port city, most of the people in the port city like to follow in the footsteps of several big families, if these big families are willing to stand on the side of the mainland, even if there is any chaos, it is easy to stabilize the situation in the port city. ”
After listening to Zheng Yan's words, Liu Lao and the others were also surprised. Even the government personnel currently in charge of the return of Hong Kong City have such insightful remarks, which are commendable, but they happened to a sophomore.
Although these things have been considered by the top government officials, and they have been in contact with several major families in Hong Kong City, these families invited by Zheng Yan have not given a clear response, and the government is helpless about it.
"Xiaoyan, since these people were all invited by you, and you also know the importance of these people to the smooth return of Hong Kong City, what about their attitudes?"
"Grandpa, these families who came today were all wavering, but fortunately, the draft of the Basic Law of Hong Kong City just promulgated gave them some confidence, and they were all interested in contacting the high-level government, as for the final attitude, I am afraid that it depends on the government, and there is nothing I can do on my side. Originally, I wanted to talk to my uncle and let him meet with these people, but since you know, grandpa, this matter is naturally your decision. Zheng Yan said his appeal without a trace.
"Xiaoyan, you have made a great contribution this time, and your uncle's contribution has stained your light. Liu Lao said with relief.
"Meritorious. ”
"Dad. ”
"With your current age, coupled with the help of our Liu family, you already have a chance to go further. At present, nothing is more important than the smooth return of Hong Kong City, if it is facilitated by others, we naturally dare not be greedy for heaven, but Xiaoyan is his own family, but let you pick up the cheap. Tomorrow, you will accompany Xiaoyan on a trip, as long as this matter is handled properly, you will be sure to go further. ”
Liu Lao said that he didn't carry Zheng Yan behind his back, although he was stained with Zheng Yan's light this time, but with the status of the Liu family, he would find a way to make up for it in the future.
"Xiaoyan, are you really dedicated to business, and you have no intention of career development at all?" asked Liu Lao solemnly.
Although he had already asked Zheng Yan and made up his mind not to persuade him anymore, today's incident still made Liu Lao shake.
"Grandpa, I'm really not that material, it's okay to mix in the mall, forget about the career. ”
"Forget it, gold will shine wherever it is, you and Xiaowei should go back and rest. After Liu Lao finished speaking, he also went into the house to rest.
