Chapter 363: Tangled
PS: Put the draft up first, it's too late to correct the typo, you can don't look at it first, and it will be revised immediately after catching the worm!
Li Xuan did not stay in the crew for a long time, he said goodbye and left after a few words of greeting with Li Mu, Hua Shan and others. Mr. Hua Shan, the director of the crew, is a person who is not smiling and very strict on weekdays, but today he stopped He Qing with an unprecedentedly smile and chatted with her very kindly for several minutes.
Although Li Mu is a nominal producer, he doesn't often come to the crew. "Shaolin Lay Disciples" is just a follow-up film of "Shaolin Temple", and most of the main actors are unknown newcomers selected by director Hua Shan from domestic troupes and martial arts teams.
Even if Li Mu came to the crew occasionally, he never paid attention to these actors, and He Qing never spoke to Li Mu. But he deliberately stood aside and waited today, and after Huashan and He Qing finished chatting, he stepped forward to greet her with a spring breeze on his face, and his enthusiasm made He Qing almost goosebumps.
Zhao Raorao is a person who can't hide things in her mouth, and the others use a little bit of words, and from her mouth, they understand the ins and outs of He Qing and Li Xuan's acquaintance, it turns out that they have only met once before.
So everyone's eyes are even more different when they look at He Qing. I have only met once, and I have made "God of Wealth Li" so interested, and everyone thinks that He Qing, this little girl, is not simple.
As for Li Xuan's identity, under the publicity of many Hong Kong people in the crew, everyone has already had enough awareness. This is the richest man in the world, with personal assets as high as 80 billion Hong Kong dollars! Li Xuan's image in the eyes of everyone is almost like that of a god who can turn stones into gold.
He Qing was distressed in the dormitory at this time, she had just received a call from Li Xuan. The other party invited her to go to Quanjude tomorrow to eat roast duck. The strong tone did not allow her to refuse.
He Qing hung up the phone and thought about it for a while, and finally prepared to call back and decline the other party's kindness. Only then did she realize that she didn't know Li Xuan's number at all. In fact, Li Xuan didn't ask He Qing for her phone number, but as long as he knew He Qing's address. For Li Xuan, wanting to know the other party's contact information is also a matter of one sentence.
At this time, Zhao Raorao trotted into the door and sat on He Qing's bed. Her big eyes were shining, and she looked ready to announce the news. Zhao Raorao had just been with a few Hong Kong people in the crew, and heard a lot of gossip about this "God of Wealth Li", so she hurried back to tell her best friend that she knew.
"Love, I sue you, don't look at this 'God of Wealth Li' who looks like a dog, but in fact he is a big carrot! He has been married for several years, and even has children. It's still a pair of dragon and phoenix twins!
The two children's milk names are friends, one is called Xiao Tangyuan, and the other is called Xiao Nuomi! Do you say that this Mr. Li is a foodie, how can he give his child such a milk name!" Zhao Raorao was originally about to expose Li Xuan's old background and make her best friend wary of him, but she was crooked as she spoke.
"It is said that Li Xuan's wife is a great beauty, but he is not satisfied, and he has raised several fox spirits outside! None of the rich men are good, you must be vigilant! I think he is deliberately approaching you. Don't have good intentions at all, who made our family love look so standard, I feel pity!" Zhao Raorao said and gently pinched He Qing's tender face, causing He Qing to resist for a while.
He Qing and Zhao Raorao fought for a while. Let the mood that was originally a little overwhelmed after receiving Li Xuan's call slowly relax. Since she met Li Xuan in the afternoon, she has discovered her status in the crew. It seems to be different all of a sudden.
Originally, those in the crew thought very highly of themselves and some looked down on Hong Kong people in the mainland. Suddenly began to be kind to her. For example, when she watched other people filming next to the crew in the afternoon, the field manager took the initiative to bring her a stool.
You know, in order not to make the shooting scene look messy. It's rare for the set staff to allow stools to be placed near the film crew. Generally, only characters like directors and celebrities can enjoy the treatment of sitting on a stool. And in the crew where He Qing is located, several of the leading actors are unknown mainland newcomers, unlike the big-name actors in Hong Kong, who are followed by assistants and agents, so they naturally can't enjoy the treatment of sitting on a stool alone.
And even if you can put a stool far away from the filming location, there are hundreds of people in the crew, and there are always more people than stools. Especially these Hong Kong people in the crew, they don't have the consciousness to give domestic actors a stool at all. So much so that He Qing either stood all day in the crew, and if he was really tired of standing, he would sit on the ground with an old newspaper.
And she enjoyed the treatment of a big-name star this afternoon, not only has her own exclusive stool, but even a Hong Kong makeup artist smiled and handed her fruit. This greatly satisfied He Qing's vanity, she was just a twenty-year-old girl after all.
"By the way, there are few good Hong Kong people in the crew, and they are all goods with eyes on the top of their heads. Especially the makeup artist who gave you peaches today is a two-faced villain at all! I heard Sister Wei Min say that she was still talking bad about you behind your back in the afternoon, and she sold it in front of you in a blink of an eye!" Zhao Raorao said again.
He Qing nodded casually, she was not stupid, and naturally knew that there was an idiom called "front and back". He Qing also understood that this qiē change was all due to the man named Li Xuan, and he didn't even know his name before today.
As a result, just because I stood by his side and said a few words in the afternoon, He Qing's treatment changed dramatically. Women are inherently weak and need protection, and a truly powerful man can easily make a woman feel good about worship, let alone a young girl like He Qing.
Li Xuan was different from any man she had seen before, he hadn't said anything particularly imposing, and there was nothing special about his gestures. But as long as he stands there, he will always be the focus of everyone, whether it is the leaders of Bayi Factory in China, or the directors and producers in Hong Kong, they have lowered their posture in front of him.
This kind of aura that looks at the world in the light wind and clouds left a deep impression on He Qing. Just now I heard Zhao Raorao say that Li Xuan was married, and her mentality of how to get along with each other suddenly relaxed.
But after Zhao Raorao left, He Qing had an indescribable melancholy in the depths of his heart. Since they are all married, why bother to provoke themselves! Do you want her to be an annoying vixen?
Come to think of it. Why is it a little annoyed! The domestic atmosphere in the 80s was naturally not as open as it was a few decades later, and Xiaosan and Xiaomi were popular all over the world!
He Qing was determined to keep his distance from Li Xuan. She's not the kind of person who is lowly!, but He Qing began to worry about how to contact Li Xuan and refuse him to have lunch tomorrow.
Li Xuan said on the phone before. He would send someone to pick her up tomorrow, and she made up her mind to tell the driver directly when the driver came to pick her up. But He Qing made up his mind to wake up and lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he was thinking about whether it would be too faceless to absolutely turn over so straightforwardly, and what if it made him angry.
He Qing's personality is relatively quiet, but Zhao Raorao is the bag in the crew. One afternoon, he heard a lot of gossip about Li Xuan from employees in Hong Kong. For example, Li Xuan spent more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars to get married, and the vice president of the United States and the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) personally participated.
In case someone is upset, it is easier to pinch her to death than to pinch a small ant to death. Why did you think of this? I feel that even if I know the absolute side, I can't be too blunt, and I have to tactfully let the other party retreat. So she should still go for lunch tomorrow, but she can be a little colder when she eats.
A big man like Li Xuan must not have much patience, maybe he forgot about himself in the blink of an eye! He Qing persuaded himself to change his mind before falling asleep. I'm afraid that even she didn't realize that after listening to Li Xuan's many second-hand gossip stories, she couldn't help but feel a little curious about this god-like man.
At noon the next day, He Qing deliberately put on a light makeup, of course, she told herself that this was not a woman who pleases herself. It's to maintain his dignity and not weaken his momentum in front of that man.
When He Qing was sent to the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant on Qianmen Street by the driver, Li Xuan was already in a small box in the hotel in advance. In addition to him, sitting with him was Zeng Zhiwei, the general manager of Asia Pictures.
Zeng Zhiwei has been proud of the spring breeze in recent years. The Asian Pictures at the helm of him is backed by the big tree of ATV Media, although there is no cinema support, but it can still be as famous as New Art City and Golden Harvest. It is also known as the three major film companies in Hong Kong.
And Zeng Zhiwei has also jumped from the original down-and-out dragon and tiger martial artist to a big man with a huge voice in the Hong Kong film and television industry. When people in the circle meet him, they have to respectfully call him "Zeng Sheng" or "Zeng Zong"!
In another time and space, Zeng Zhiwei later became the most influential boss in the Hong Kong film and television industry. But it was because of his old qualifications, many friends, sleek personality, and good at managing contacts that he achieved a certain status.
But in fact, this position is not stable, Zeng Zhiwei likes to drink when he gathers, and whenever he drinks high, he doesn't choose to speak, and he likes to talk nonsense and dare to say anything. For this reason, he was slapped into a pig's head more than once by gangsters.
But in this life, Zeng Zhiwei, as the director of ATV Group, the largest media group in Hong Kong, and the general manager of ATV Pictures, one of the three major film companies in Hong Kong, has a very strong voice in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Even if he said something that was unpleasant, no one really dared to do anything to him, at most it was to smash the glass of his car or send a threatening letter with bullets. If anyone really dares to attack him, it is a provocation to the entire ATV group, or even the entire Eastern Bloc behind it.
For those who dare to challenge their bottom line, Li Xuan has never been soft. In a previous livelihood program of Asia Satellite TV, several incidents of social and group members illegally disturbing the people were finally reported, which attracted retaliation from the underworld, and the reporter in charge of covering the news was beaten Lu Yuan.
Li Xuan gave a strong response at the first time, not only to mobilize the Hong Kong Police Force to carry out a strong sweep of this short-sighted association so that it could not do business, but also directly paid to provoke other gangs in Hong Kong to crack down on this association and compete for his territory.
After facing Li Xuan's two-pronged counterattack, the club that provoked Li Xuan was forced to bow its head and ask someone to make peace, and handed over the leader and his subordinate Ma Zai who took revenge on the ATV reporter. Although this society escaped in the end, it was greatly damaged by this incident and fell from a second-rate club to a third-rate club.
"Li Sheng, Hong Kong audiences are not very interested in war films, is the investment of 10 million too much, and if you are not careful, you may lose your capital!" Zeng Zhiwei asked thoughtfully.
"This movie is just under the name of Asia Pictures, you open a special account, I will send the money! 10 million is just an initial investment, if the funds are not enough, I can increase it to 15 million at most!
But all this money must be used for filmmaking, and I want a well-made war epic! I don't need to think about whether the movie can recover its cost, but it must not be made into a bad movie!" Li Xuan said.
Zeng Zhiwei somewhat understood what his boss meant, and he asked tentatively: "Is it true that the decision on the script, casting, and director is left to the mainland?"
"The decision can be left to them, but our team can also be involved in providing the construction of the Kuomintang-Communist Party for many years, making it impossible for the mainland screenwriters to be sincere and sincere Kuomintang-Party reactionaries, so we have to grasp the script well!
The main line of the story can be divided into two, one is from the perspective of an ordinary soldier or a low-level officer, to show the national enemy and family difficulties!
Another can describe the tremendous pressure that General Li Zong-Ren, the commander-in-chief of the campaign, endured when he commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to fight bloody battles during that period, and made every decision, especially under the unfavorable conditions when the army's weapons were inferior to the Japanese army and the soldiers were inferior to the Japanese army, and he had to make partial sacrifices!
By the way, there must be a few scenes of President Chiang Lao in the movie, you can pass by, but there must be! After the script is written, give it to me to take a look, and if the domestic side can't get through, I will personally figure out a way!" Li Xuan made it clear that he was ready to wash the floor of the Kuomintang.
And Zeng Zhiwei also completely understood Li Xuan's intentions, Li Xuan's investment in this movie was never for the box office. Now that he understands what the boss means, he also knows how to operate this movie.
At this time, He Qing knocked on the door and walked in, and she immediately noticed the fat man with small eyes sitting next to Li Xuan. And Zeng Zhiwei also began to look at the little girl in front of him.
In Zeng Zhiwei's eyes, He Qing looks pretty good, but he is a little green. It seems that his boss likes this fresh little cabbage, and he smiled kindly. (To be continued......)
