Chapter 421: Returning the favor

February 24, Christmas Eve in the West.

After 3 years, the comedy film "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", produced by Huayi Brothers and directed by Feng Xiaotank, landed in the New Year.

The film "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" held 7 early premiere meetings at the Beijing Sparkle Roll Cinema and the Blue Harbor Legend Era Cinema one after another, with a total of 50 tickets for the opening show, and 492 were actually sold, almost all of which were sold out.

When Feng Xiaowan appeared with the film's leading actors Ge You, Shu Qi, Xu Ruoxuan and others, the audience in the theater instantly rose up, and applauded and cheered enthusiastically without hesitation.

At the post-screening meeting, many viewers said that after waiting for so long, they were "very happy" to see Director Feng Xiaowan and Uncle Ge again in this year's Chinese New Year, and at the same time expressed their feelings after watching it in the most straightforward words: "It's good-looking, it's very nice to watch." ”

When a reporter asked Feng Xiaowan about the original intention of filming this "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", Feng Xiaowan replied very simply: "I just want the people to be happy in the New Year." ”

However, at the premiere of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", the most surprising thing for the audience was Lin Xiaoguang's unexpected appearance at the premiere, which can be said to have given a small vat enough face.

Speaking of attending the premiere of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" this time, this was not Lin Xiaoguang's original intention, but the meaning of the two brothers, Huang Zhongjun and Huang Zhonglei.

The so-called "it is not appropriate to settle the knot and not to settle the knot", Lin Xiaoguang and Feng Xiaowan are now the two directors with the most box office appeal of Huayi Brothers, and Huayi Brothers are facing listing, both sides are grasshoppers on a rope, and naturally hope that the big guys can make money in harmony.

In addition, before the previous premiere, Feng Xiaogang had invited Stephen Zou to attend the event, but unexpectedly, Stephen Zou refused on the grounds that there was something, which made Feng Xiaotank very angry.

Many people may not know that this is not the first time that Stephen Zou has refused to seal the small tank.

And Lin Xiaoguang's sudden appearance really warmed Feng Xiaowan's heart and realized that there is true love in the world.

You must know that with Lin Xiaoguang's current status in Huayi Brothers, as long as he is unhappy and unhappy, he can not attend at all, but he still came after all.

However, Lin Xiaoguang was able to come, not for the sake of sealing the small tank, but to give Huang Zhonglei a face, because Huang Zhonglei had just helped him get the film and television copyright of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" from Zhang Jizhong.

Lin Xiaoguang did this, which can be regarded as repaying the favor.

Moreover, for now, the relationship between Lin Xiaoguang and Feng Xiaowan is a little different from the relationship between Deng Dynasty and Wang Xiaoming, the former has no disputes over interests, and there is no deep hatred, it is purely a matter of one breath, while the latter is in private because of the competition for film and television resources, and almost never appears at the same time in an event.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Xiaoguang came to the stage, he greeted the applause and cheers, and was enthusiastically pulled to his side by the sealed small tank.

Feng Xiaowan took the microphone and said to the audience with emotion: "Xiaoguang is a particularly righteous young man. ”

At this time, the reporters in the audience asked curiously: "Xiaoguang, what do you think of Director Feng's filming?"

Lin Xiaoguang thought about it and said calmly: "I think it's the most comfortable to watch Director Feng's film in this New Year, come easily and leave happily." ”

"If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is definitely a good Chinese New Year movie. ”

After listening to Lin Xiaoguang's high evaluation of the movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", Feng Xiaowan nodded gratefully: "I want to solemnly say thank you to Xiaoguang today......

Faced with Feng Xiaowan's sudden thanks, Lin Xiaoguang was really a little surprised, and hurriedly said politely: "Director Feng, when you say this, it's a bit too outward..."

Feng Xiaowan shook his head with a smile, patted Lin Xiaoguang's shoulder gently, and said with emotion: "No, really, Xiaoguang is not only the most talented film director of the younger generation, but also a good young man who knows how to repay his kindness. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xiaoguang, like the actors present and the audience, didn't understand what was going on, so he looked blankly at Feng Xiaowan chattering and began to count Zou Xingchi's no.

Truth be told, no one doesn't want to accept compliments from others.

But Feng Xiaowan used himself to belittle Zou Xingchi's drama, but it was not what Lin Xiaoguang was willing to see, and he felt like he was being used as a gunman.

In addition to Lin Xiaoguang, Shu Qi, who is from Baodao and has become popular in Xiangjiang, is also helpless, but in front of Feng Xiaotank, she can only pretend to smile and listen carefully to Feng Xiaotank's "speech".

Under the questioning of the reporters at the scene, Feng Xiaowan "had no choice" to tell the truth.

It turns out that the relationship between Feng Xiaowan and Stephen Zou can be traced back to "Kung Fu" in 2004.

As early as 2004, when Stephen Chow was filming the movie "Kung Fu", he invited Feng Xiaowan to help make a cameo, and Feng Xiaowan agreed, although he played the boss of the "Crocodile Gang" in the movie "Kung Fu", although he was hacked to death at the beginning, he left a line - "Who else", which is still regarded as a classic.

At the beginning of this year, "Yangtze River No. 7" directed by Stephen Chow focused on the mainland market for the first time, so at the premiere, Stephen Chow invited Feng Xiaowan to stand up for himself.

Feng Xiaowan readily agreed, and appeared at the press conference that day.

However, when Feng Xiaowan wanted to ask Stephen Chow to help him and make a cameo appearance in the new movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" a few months ago, Stephen Chow chose to shirk it.

That's not all, a few days ago, Feng Xiaowan invited Stephen Chow to attend the premiere of the movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", but Stephen Zou still refused on the grounds that he had something.

No one is alive, the reason why Feng Xiaowan made a cameo appearance in Stephen Chow's movies back then was not only because of how good his personal relationship with Stephen Chow was, but because he also wanted Stephen Chow to make a cameo appearance in his own movie.

However, when Feng Xiaogang invited Stephen Chow to come, Stephen Zou quit.

It was Feng Xiaowan who invited Stephen Zou to make a cameo appearance in this "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", Feng Xiaowan returned to the New Year file after three years this time, and wanted to use Stephen Chow's fame to improve the box office appeal of this movie, but who knew that it was rejected.

As far as things are concerned, as far as this matter is concerned, Zou Xingchi did not do a little bit unauthentic, not to mention that the stingy and narrow-minded Feng Xiaowan would be angry, even if he was anyone else, he would also feel a kind of depression of being played.

Under the gossip of reporters and friends, Feng Xiaowan said vividly: "What did Zou Xingchi tell me at that time?"

He said, Xiao Tank, look at my premiere of "Yangtze River No. 7", can you come and help me, I said okay. ”

"But you see that I premiered the movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" today, and I asked Stephen Chow to help, and he said very much, I can't come today if I have something to do. ”

"It's not going to be sustainable, is it?"

"That can't say that I help you every day, I asked you to do a favor, but you shirk it with all kinds of excuses......"

"There are a lot of things that are exchanged between people like this, and this is not a matter of face, this is a matter of character. ”

“……”

In Feng Xiaotank's complaint about Stephen Chow, the premiere of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" will end successfully.

After returning from the premiere of "Do Not Disturb", Lin Xiaoguang finally understood why Feng Xiaotank's nickname was "Little Steel Cannon", which was very vivid.

However, Feng Xiaowan can be regarded as a feeling this time, Lin Xiaoguang can understand it somewhat, although Stephen Chow's movies are really good, but he is really not very good.

After a few days of calm and calm, Feng Xiaotank's new movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" capped the Chinese New Year army with super high box office results, and Lin Xiaoguang also began to actively prepare for the lineup of "Hawthorn Tree Love".

I heard that Lin Xiaoguang was planning to make a new movie, and before the script of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was written, a mysterious investor put Lin Xiaoguang's profits as the producer into the account of the light and shadow studio in order to express his sincerity.

Everything went smoothly, because of Huang Zhonglei's relationship, Lin Xiaoguang only spent 800,000 yuan to buy the film and television copyright of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" from Zhang Jizhong.
