Chapter 683, Gentlemen's Friends!

"Welcome to the new episode of Asian Filmmaker!"

Menglan was wearing a cheongsam, standing in the dark, only a beam of light came down from obliquely, and the picture was very gloomy and terrifying.

"The mainland film market is surging, and in recent years, a number of box office films have started with a box office of one billion, and the filmmaker we interviewed today has no films with a box office of less than one billion, and more importantly, he brought a film with a box office of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars last year, conquering hundreds of millions of audiences, and selling 60 million at the box office in Hong Kong, becoming the first Asian film to enter the top 100 of the world box office. ”

"So don't say much, I believe many viewers have already guessed this guest! Let's invite Li Zhifan to appear!"

After Meng Lan finished speaking, the lights of the entire recording studio turned on in turn.

Li Zhifan appeared on her left side, and it turned out that he had been standing next to Roland.

Behind the two, Zeng Yuanjiang and the four of them clapped their hands with a smile, and Zeng Yuanjiang also whistled.

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Zhifan, I'm very happy to come to Xiangjiang again and participate in Sister Meng's show!"

Li Zhifan has his hands behind his back, which is completely different from the usual mainland shows, and he has no feeling of being a star at all, just like a primary school student.

It's not a character set by someone who prescribes it to him, but a feeling that arises involuntarily in such an environment.

Because there is no audience at the scene, only a few cameras and a few choreographers, to be honest, there is an embarrassing feeling of recording the show like this, but after adapting to the rhythm, it will feel very natural, especially when Menglan is talking, it is really like chatting and talking, there is no variety show atmosphere at all.

Compared with those domestic variety shows, Li Zhifan feels that one is too hard, and the other is not at all.

The host of a mainland talk show is very capable of creating an atmosphere, because there are viewers below, even if it is a one-on-one interview program, he will amplify his voice and dance with his eyebrows for the sake of the broadcast effect.

Ke Menglan is different, I don't know how the hosts of other Hong Kong programs are, but in her place, it seems that this is an ordinary job, and her speech involuntarily reveals a kind of calm.

Except for Zeng Yuanjiang, the last four people are more lively, and the other three are very reserved.

During the interview in the middle, the four of them sat opposite each other across a triangular table with Li Zhifan and Meng Lan.

The question about the movie, the question about the actors, and what they are particularly interested in is Li Zhifan's first film "Baby Project", because this is a movie with a full Hong Kong flavor shot in Hong Kong, so they are more cordial and have more to talk about.

"Now the entertainment industry in the mainland has really entered a golden age, there is a lot of money to use to make movies, and excellent films in the mainland emerge in an endless stream every year!"

Liu Chang sighed with emotion, and suddenly changed his words and said, " When I entered the industry, I didn't think I could be an actor at all, I really just wanted to find an ordinary job when I entered TVB, but I had a friend at that time, everyone knew him, called Liang Haisheng, haha, he is now a big director, but his movie dream has been there since he was a child, and we came to TVB together after graduation, I accompanied him to the actor class first, I just waited outside, but I didn't expect to meet Shao Wenye, but Liang Haisheng who was interviewed inside was unsuccessful, but I entered the actor training class outside the door. ”

This story is no longer news, although Liu Chang is not a particularly high-level actor, but every time he talks about this story, he is very happy.

This is how it feels after pretending to be forced.

Although Liang Haisheng's status is now a god-like existence, the story of that year is still enough for Liu Chang to pretend to be a lifetime.

Liu Chang said this story in order to draw out Li Zhifan, and he immediately asked Li Zhifan: "Xiao Li, can you also tell me an interesting story about when you entered the industry! I think this experience must be particularly precious, and it is also what the audience wants to know." ”

"Me!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "I'm actually not as amazing as you, and friends in the mainland may know about it, because my information is available on the Internet." As for me, I graduated from Forestry University, and I am the kind of person who grows trees and flowers, and to put it bluntly, I am a gardener. ”

He deliberately said that his starting point was very low, and then he began to brew: "At that time, I was an intern at university, and my family found a relationship to send me to the district art troupe, which was originally to do logistics work, but because I have always liked music and studied piano for several years, I began to compose music by myself in that atmosphere." I didn't have any ideas at the time, I just wanted to get mixed up in the group, work hard, get married and have children. ”

"The luckiest thing in this era is the existence of the Internet, after I shared my works on the Internet, I attracted a lot of friends to like, this is what I never expected, and what I didn't expect is that Director Liao Feng took a fancy to me and asked me to make the theme song for his movie "Black and White World", which is my first step into the industry. ”

Li Zhifan said lightly, "And then, hehe, I was lucky to have a cameo role in Director Liao's movie, and I also beat Zeng Yaobo at that time, you all lose this person, right?"

He set his eyes on the four people, mainly at Zeng Yuanjiang.

Zeng Yuanjiang looked at Li Zhifan's eyes, and waved his hand again and again: "Hey, I don't know him, although my surname is Zeng, but it's different, it's different!"

Menglan didn't really want to discuss Zeng Yaobo, so she changed the topic and said: "Well, in this way, Zhifan, you also entered the industry because you seized the opportunity, coupled with your own talent, you can have today's results, but I didn't expect you to be from the forestry department, and you started as a musician, I didn't expect to achieve such great results in movies, what a genius!"

"The key is that he seems to have only been in the industry for about five years!"

Zeng Yuanjiang said, "I know a lot of friends in the mainland, and when I was in the industry for five years, I was still playing supporting roles, but I didn't expect you to be a 10 billion director." I also worked as a director, but I messed up, because the work of on-site coordination is really not something that anyone can do, so I admire those directors who make good films. ”

"I don't think it's too difficult for me!"

Li Zhifan said, "Because I have a strong desire to control, especially on the set, everyone has to listen to me, I ask that the filming be completed in one day, not to be delayed to the next day, and not to change myself because of a few people, if I meet someone who is better than me, I'm sorry, please get out!"

"Domineering, domineering!"

Ruan Lanlan and Song Ningning clapped their hands wildly, and Li Zhifan's words stirred up their estrogen, as if they were seeing a hero of the world, and the man in their minds wanted to be so domineering.

"Hehe, I'm still quite a gentle person in private!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "Work is work, life is life!"

The whole family program lasted forty minutes, and at the end of the show, Li Zhifan promoted "Langya Bang", which will be broadcast on Jade Channel, and then Say-Goodbye!

"Hurry up and record the next one!"

As soon as Li Zhifan got up, Zeng Yuanjiang pulled him outside the studio, "I have already deployed it over there, just waiting for you!"

"Uh......" Li Zhifan still wants to say, don't you take a break?

But seeing Zeng Yuanjiang so urgent, he followed him and left.

In the process of recording just now, the two have already lost, and they have also found some empathetic topics.

Therefore, Li Zhifan did not dislike Zeng Yuanjiang's behavior.

I thought it was another interview show, but I didn't expect Zeng Yuanjiang to host an indoor game variety show called "Super Award Doorman".

The stage here is much larger than next door, the size of a football field, and there are several lounges.

There are many staff members in the field pushing the hanger car full of clothes back and forth, so it seems that TVB is not particularly picky, this time it seems that there are clothes changed.

"Come on, come on, come on, Zhifan, let me introduce you!"

Zeng Yuanjiang pulled him with a smile and came to a beautiful woman, "This is my daughter and the producer of this show, hahaha, you two know each other, contact and contact!"

"The ......"

Li Zhifan leaned into Zeng Yuanjiang's ear and whispered, "Brother Zeng, I'm married!"

"What are you kid thinking?"

Zeng Yuanjiang raised his voice and shouted, "My daughter and children are all eight years old, I mean let you be familiar with it, and remember to pull her when you have the opportunity!"

As he spoke, Zeng Yuanjiang's face became serious in a second, his voice was lowered, and his tone brought up the sensibility of a father: "I have nothing to ask for in my life, just a daughter like her, I hope she can do well, take her to know more friends in the circle, in the future, if I go over there one day, she can also do a good job in this circle." ”

Li Zhifan was stunned, and after listening to Zeng Yuanjiang's words, he nodded: "Brother Zeng, don't worry, although the two of us met for the first time and met on the first day, your words reminded me of my father, rest assured, if you have the ability to help me, if your niece encounters any difficulties, I promise to solve it for her when the mainland finds me later!"

"Hmm...... Huh?"

Zeng Yuanjiang nodded first, then looked at Li Zhifan hesitantly, and after reacting, he scolded with a smile: "You kid, take advantage of my daughter, forget it, I will recognize you as a little brother, as for your seniority, you can do it yourself, I don't mix." ”

"Gotcha!"

Li Zhifan also laughed, you said so, then shouldn't my cheap uncle still be decided?

The show hosted by Zeng Yuanjiang is too noisy, and a large number of people came out of the hula stage, all of them are stars, all of them are familiar with TVB, and after finishing the game, these people went down again - they are all for Li Zhifan, the protagonist today.

This show is recorded and broadcast, and if you record a section, you will take a break for a while, just like the variety shows in the mainland, sometimes it feels wrong in the middle of the recording, and it has to be interrupted and stopped, and the host, guests and the program team discuss together.

Li Zhifan still hadn't read the script, and only then did he know what game to play during the discussion.

Of course, this is not that the program team deliberately wants to trick him, but that they are used to this atmosphere, and what they want is realism.

And everyone is so busy that they don't have time to go on stage, rehearse or anything.

There is no time to prepare the lines and routines that have been set for the guests, so that the guests can memorize them in advance.

In the process of this break, there are several TVB female artists who do everything they can to get close to Li Zhifan.

An actress named Huang Xin is good at playing stupid girls and bad women in TVB dramas, and has also played the heroine with such a character, the key is that her figure is really the most proud of TVB, which is also the proud capital that she can stand tall in.

Another actress also sharpened her head and drilled to Li Zhifan's side, and Huang Xin took turns to take pictures of Li Zhifan with her mobile phone, and then secretly rubbed oil on him, all kinds of hints.

Li Zhifan cleverly avoided it several times, and pretended not to know anything.

And the reason why he didn't want to poke it was that these actresses were not only to Li Zhifan, they were the same to Zeng Yuanjiang, but Zeng Yuanjiang was a little happy, and his groping hands stroked the waists and buttocks of several actresses from time to time, and occasionally deliberately rubbed their pride.

His daughter seems to be used to her father's appearance, and Zeng Yuanjiang has been divorced for many years, so she is not shocked when she sees these scenes, and she doesn't even react.

……

At night.

After recording two shows in a row, Li Zhifan suspended his work, but he couldn't go back to the hotel to rest, but had to rush to a dinner party.

It was Liao Feng who invited him to the banquet, and of course he also invited many other insiders, including Chen Jiujiu and Chen Yilei.

Although Li Zhifan, Liao Feng and others co-opened Qilixiang Restaurant also has two branches in Xiangjiang, their group of people still chose a high-end place for the gathering.

4th Floor, Four Seasons Hotel, 8 Finance Street, Central.

Long Jingxuan.

For a long time, it was the only three-star Chinese restaurant in the world.

Later, with the 8 restaurants in Macau and the Tang Pavilion in Hong Kong being rated as three stars, this history was rewritten, but the influence and status of Long King Xuan in the food industry have never changed.

Lung King Heen specializes in Hong Kong-style Chinese food, and many of the delicacies can actually be seen on the menus of ordinary tea restaurants.

But it can be rated as the first three-star Chinese restaurant, and its food is delicious and the chef's cooking skills are all top-notch.

Li Zhifan came with Zeng Yuanjiang, and he was not invited originally, but today he was familiar at first sight, so Li Zhifan notified Liao Feng to add a position and informed him that Zeng Yuanjiang was coming.

Liao Feng and Zeng Yuanjiang are two completely different attributes of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.

Zeng Yuanjiang is the kind of old oilman in the entertainment industry who has a big mouth, a very high-profile, and a Jianghu atmosphere, he doesn't seem to have any particularly classic works, but he himself is a classic in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, and when it comes to Xiangjiang stars, there must be a place for him.

And Liao Feng is the head of the low-key faction, and he rarely shows up, let alone on the show.

However, the two worked together several times when they were young, and they achieved a true gentleman's friendship as light as water.

"Dragon Prince steamed dumplings, honey barbecued pork, crispy chicken, and poplar nectar!"

Zeng Yuanjiang looked like a regular customer, and after sitting down, he said to the waiter, "Have they ordered these four things?

"It's all ordered!" the waiter smiled respectfully, "Then let's have an extra one for each!"

Zeng Yuanjiang looked at Liao Feng and said with a smile: "Brother enough, you always remember my taste!"

"How can I forget?" Liao Feng said, "The celebration banquet of our first play was eaten here, do you remember?"

"Remember, remember!"

The two of them instantly opened the topic, Zeng Yuanjiang said, Liao Feng nodded in agreement, and left everyone else aside.
