——————————————————————————————————————

This year's Hong Kong International Film Festival was not held at the Hong Kong City Hall, but at the Hong Kong Grand Theatre, which has just been completed.

The Hong Kong Grand Theatre is located in Tsim Sha Tsui and is a property of the Hong Kong Film Society.

In order to catch up with this year's film festival, Cheung Kong Industrial, which undertook the construction, worked day and night, and finally completed it before the opening of the film festival.

However, the Avenue of Stars and some other supporting facilities are still in the construction stage.

As the second Hong Kong International Film Festival after the reform, the grandeur and liveliness of this year's scene have been greatly improved compared with last year.

One of the obvious phenomena is the increase in the number of live TV stations.

When Wei Xiong and Lin Qingxia finally appeared on the red carpet holding hands, the scene immediately reached a climax, and all the cameras were directed towards them.

Wei Xiong doesn't need to say more.

Lin Qingxia has a very high reputation in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even the entire global Chinese world, otherwise her affairs with Qin Han and Qin Xianglin would not have attracted so much attention.

Originally, after it was revealed that she broke up with Qin Han last year, the media was very curious about her emotional trends.

But after tracking for a while, I didn't find anything.

Some time ago, the media broke the news that Lin Qingxia was dating Wei Xiong, although there was no direct evidence, but it still aroused the enthusiasm of the paparazzi.

However, after tracking and guarding Lin Qingxia for half a month, I didn't find that Lin Qingxia and Wei Xiong had ever gotten along alone.

Once again, it was a big disappointment.

Until last night, several newspapers got the news almost at the same time, saying that Wei Xiong spent the night at Lin Qingxia's house, and finally made this scandal come true.

How can this not excite journalists.

Lin Qingxia always had a faint smile on her face, and she was also very cooperative with reporters, stopping every time she walked for reporters on both sides to take pictures.

After stepping off the red carpet, the two separated.

The staff led the way to Cheng, Wei Xiong naturally sat in the first row, and on either side of him were Qiu Shuzhen and Guan Zhilin.

Only the two of them participated in the closing ceremony, and the others were either physically inconvenient and unavailable, or they didn't want to go out.

"Hmph, big liar."

As soon as she sat down, Guan Zhilin approached Wei Xiong and whispered,

Hearing this, Wei Xiong couldn't help coughing embarrassedly, when he had an affair with Lin Qingxia before, the women asked him if it was true.

Of course he won't admit it, who knew it would be debunked so quickly.

"That's it, I kept saying that it didn't matter if I promised it, but hum, it's all a lie." Qiu Shuzhen, who has always been well-behaved, also opened her mouth to crusade.

Wei Xiong was speechless for a while, but fortunately, the two women were both well-informed people, so they stopped complaining.

Not far behind Wei Xiong, Lin Qingxia sat with the crew members of "New Dragon Gate Inn" under the leadership of the staff.

Maggie Cheung said with a smug face: "The confidentiality work is very good." ā€

"What secrecy work?"

Lin Qingxia deliberately made a dazed look, and then Maggie Cheung quit: "I said Lin Qingxia, it's too uninteresting for you to do this." ā€

It is said that Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung could only know each other before, and they didn't know each other well.

But after getting along day and night in the Gobi Desert for a few months, they have already become close friends who talk about everything, so they have no scruples between words.

"Okay, I'll tell you in the evening."

Lin Qingxia glanced at Maggie Cheung angrily.

"That's pretty much it."

Maggie Cheung smiled with satisfaction, and at this moment the lights in the auditorium dimmed, and then several lights hit the stage in front of her.

Then, there was a burst of music.

……

Li Ruotong, as the hottest beauty pageant champion this year, of course, also participated in the closing ceremony and award ceremony, but the seat was relatively low.

However, Wei Xiong could still be seen from where she was sitting.

During the award ceremony, she often turned her eyes to Wei Xiong, and saw Wei Xiong talking intimately with Guan Zhilin and Qiu Shuzhen around her several times.

It's a little weird in my heart.

In addition, she heard about the scandal between Wei Xiong and Lin Qingxia just now, which made her feel even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't give up all night.

Until the award ceremony was over, I was still wondering how to be so fast.

The awards ceremony was followed by a gala dinner.

Unlike last year, when the dinner was held at The Peninsula Hotel, this year's dinner was held directly in the auditorium, with a large ballroom next door to the awards ceremony.

"May I sit here, please?"

Li Ruotong, who was sitting alone in a corner, was eating a bite of food when he heard the voice next to him and hurriedly looked up.

When she saw the speaker, her brow furrowed imperceptibly, but she still politely said, "Please be seated." ā€

Hearing this, the other party sat down in the empty seat opposite.

"Hello Miss Li, this is my business card." A business card was handed to Li Ruotong, and Li Ruotong took it and took a look, there were quite a lot of titles.

President of Jianye Film Company, Director of Lai Sun Group......

That's right, this man is Lin Jianyue, he was talking to someone, and he accidentally saw Li Ruotong alone, so he came over to talk.

After a casual glance, Li Ruotong put the business card aside.

"Miss Li is very beautiful today."

"Thank you."

Li Ruotong responded lightly, and continued to bow his head and eat his own things. Seeing this, Lin Jianyue didn't know what to say for a while.

In the past, he picked up girls, which one didn't he make a little gesture, and the other party responded enthusiastically?

Like Li Ruotong, he completely treats him as air.

In fact, Li Ruotong was thinking about whether to get up and leave, and the incident between Lin Jianyue and Gao Lihong at the beginning could be said to be known all over Hong Kong.

Of course she does.

So I really don't have a good impression of Lin Jianyue, but I feel that she will leave as soon as she sits down, which seems a little rude.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, long time no see."

Just when Li Ruotong was embarrassed, a voice sounded next to her again, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this voice was very familiar to her.

"It's been a long time."

Seeing Wei Xiong, Lin Jianyue immediately stood up, a trace of gloom flashed on his face, after all, the relationship between their Lin family and Wei Xiong was not very good.

Of course, on the surface he still has a smile on his face.

"What is Mr. Lin talking to Tongtong about?" Wei Xiong smiled and glanced at Li Ruotong, who also stood up, but the latter didn't look at him.

Tongtong?

Lin Jianyue immediately remembered the scandal between Li Ruotong and Wei Xiong in the newspaper, just now he saw that the beauty was alone, and he forgot about it in a hurry.

"No, it's just a casual chat, I still have something to do over there, so I'll be out of company first."

After speaking, Lin Jianyue left.

And Li Ruotong also sat down on the chair again.

Wei Xiong glanced at Lin Jianyue's back, and then sat in the position Lin Jianyue had done before, looking at Li Ruotong with a smile in his eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Ruotong found that Wei Xiong was just looking at him but not speaking, his face couldn't help but blush slightly, and then he looked around in a little panic.

Worry that someone is paying attention to them.

"Look at you beautiful, Lin Jianyue also said just now that you are very beautiful today." Wei Xiong said with a natural expression on his face.

"Hmph, don't make me happy."

"What, you're not happy when you say you're pretty?" In fact, Wei Xiong has been paying attention to Li Ruotong for a while, and naturally he can see that Li Ruotong is depressed.

"No, don't sit here, so many people."

Li Ruotong looked around again.

Wei Xiong knew that Li Ruotong was thin-skinned, so he didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Okay, but let's have dinner together tomorrow night?" ā€

……

After Lin Jianyue left, he chatted with a few people he knew, and saw Zhou Xingchi chatting with a few people not far away, so he walked over.

"Don't mind if I bother."

Zhou Xingchi turned his head to look, not only was he slightly stunned, but then nodded politely: "Of course I don't mind." ā€

A few people who were chatting with Zhou Xingchi saw that Lin Jianyue, an 'uninvited guest', was coming to Zhou Xingchi tomorrow, and they all walked away with interest.

"Is Mr. Zhou interested in talking?"

Zhou Xingchi's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and then he smiled and gestured to a corner: "Let's go over there and talk, it's quieter." ā€

Of course, Lin Jianyue has no opinion.

He didn't want to wait for what he was going to say to be heard, so he walked over with Zhou Xingchi, and there were indeed fewer people in this corner.

"First of all, congratulations to Mr. Zhou, the box office success of the film."

As soon as he sat down, Lin Jianyue raised his wine glass with a smile and said to Zhou Xingchi.

Just the day before yesterday, "Truant Weilong 2" starring Zhou Xingchi had just been drawn, although the box office was not as high as "Truant Weilong 1".

But with Zhou Xingchi's box office appeal, it is still quite good.

Continue to perpetuate the box office myth.

"Thank you." Zhou Xingchi smiled slightly, and then touched the cup with Lin Jianyue, his expression and tone were very calm, revealing a sense of confidence.

did not feel inferior because Lin Jianyue was a well-known rich second generation in Hong Kong.

In his opinion, he is now a well-known movie star in the entire Chinese world, although his wealth is not as much as Lin Jianyue.

But if you only talk about influence, Lin Jianyue may not be comparable to him.

After tasting the red wine, Lin Jianyue put the wine glass on the table and said, "I wonder if Mr. Zhou plans to enter the international market?" ā€

"What does Mr. Lin mean by that?" Zhou Xingchi frowned slightly.

"Mr. Zhou, along with Cheng Long and Zhou Yunfa, are collectively known as the double Mondays in the Hong Kong film industry, but now Mr. Zhou seems to be left behind by them."

Zhou Xingchi's face sank, but he didn't speak.

"Zhou Yunfa first became famous in Hollywood with "Top Secret Mission", and now he starred in "Resident Evil", and I believe that his value will skyrocket again."

"The same goes for Cheng Long."

"They all set their sights and energy on the international market, but Mr. Zhou is still nested in Hong Kong, doesn't Mr. Zhou want to change?"

Zhou Xingchi took advantage of his face: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ā€

"Happy, you and I will jointly establish a new film company, with a total investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, you only need to invest 10 million, and I will give you 20% of the shares."

"The salary is calculated separately."

"Then the film company invested in the filming of an international blockbuster, and I already have the script in mind." Lin Jianyue said his plan.

The reason why he didn't directly ask Zhou Xingchi to be the leading actor,

Instead, he took great pains to set up a film company together for three main reasons: First, he was worried that Wei Xiong's agent would interfere with it.

Jianye Film had previously invited Zhou Xingchi to be the protagonist of the new film, but the script was returned.

The reason is that the script is too bad.

He didn't know if it was really because the script was too bad, or because the relationship between the Lin family and Wei Xiong was not good, and Wei deliberately interfered with it, but he was more inclined to the latter.

As long as Zhou Xingchi participates in the investment of the film, and may obtain huge benefits other than remuneration,

Zhou Xingchi will definitely be more tempted, and then put pressure on the brokerage company, you must know that Zhou Xingchi is not an ordinary star, his words are still very energetic.

Second, even if the cooperation is not successful in the end, it can still play a role in sowing discord.

Since Lin Baixin took over ATV, he has gradually had conflicts with Wei Xiong, and ATV's actors have been poached by Wei one after another.

made Lin Baixin grit his teeth and could only swallow it in his stomach.

Then, Chen Mengyao, the Asian sister champion that ATV was preparing to support, was also poached, and was poached by Wei Xiong to be a secretary, which made Lin Baixin suffer a dumb loss again.

He also hated it.

If it weren't for Wei Xiong's sudden sideways kick, Chen Mengyao would have been put into bed by him, and now that he has made a wedding dress for nothing, how can he not be angry.

So if you can cause some trouble for Wei Xiong, why not?

Of course, his biggest hope is that the cooperation can be successful, he is really optimistic about Zhou Xingchi, and thinks that Zhou Xingchi's comedy talent is not only bought by the Chinese.

Westerners will buy it too, as long as the script is right.

The last reason is purely commercial considerations, you must know that international blockbusters are not just words, but real money.

Take "Resident Evil" as an example, the total investment reached 80 million Hong Kong dollars.

Even if the international blockbuster he invested in was not so expensive, half of it, that is, 40 million, was still needed, which is still a huge amount of money.

With huge risks lurking, it is obviously impossible for him to invest alone.

This brings us to the introduction of capital.

So how can you get investors to pay obediently? Giving them enough confidence is the most important thing, and Zhou Xingchi plays such a role.

Although as long as Zhou Xingchi is the leading actor in the film, it will be fine.

But if Zhou Xingchi can become a shareholder of the company, then the investors will definitely be more generous, and he will be able to circle more money at a smaller price.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Xingchi is a signboard.

Hearing Lin Jianyue's ideas and conditions, Zhou Xingchi's eyes lit up immediately, and he could get 20% of the shares with only 10 million investments.

The salary is also calculated, and the conditions are indeed quite generous.

And, of course, there is the opportunity to go international.

What Lin Jianyue said just now is exactly what he thought, seeing that Cheng Long and Zhou Yan are becoming famous in the world, and they are both double Mondays, how can he not want to?

But the company seemed to have forgotten about him and never looked for him.

This upset him.

Now that Lin Jianyue is willing to invest, it may be a good opportunity for him, but then he thinks that the relationship between the Lin family and Wei Xiong does not seem to be very good.

If he cooperates with Lin Jianyue, will he anger Wei Xiong?

After bowing his head and muttering for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Lin Jianyue: "I need to think about this matter carefully, and I will give you an answer in three days." ā€

"Then I'll wait for Mr. Zhou's good news."

After speaking, Lin Jianyue got up and left, while Zhou Xingchi sat alone, thinking about Lin Jianyue's proposal just now in his mind.

……

The dinner lasted until almost 11 o'clock.

On the road, Zhou Xingchi was driving and on the phone: "Wife, I'm going to Da Ge's house to play cards, and I won't go back at night." ā€

"Well, don't fight too late." Li Meixian's voice came from the phone.

"Got it, then hang up first." After hanging up the phone, the car happened to come to the gate of a community, and the security guard just glanced at it and opened the door.

Then Zhou Xingchi drove in.

After a while, Zhou Xingchi stood outside a door, pressed the doorbell, and standing outside the door, he could still faintly hear the doorbell inside.

"Click."

The door opened, but what appeared in front of Zhou Xingchi was not Wu Mengda, nor a man, but a woman with a bath towel around her body.

This woman is none other than Zhang Meng.

"Why are you so fast, people are just about to take a shower." Seeing Zhou Xingchi outside the door, Zhang Meng was not surprised at all, but looked delicate.

"That's right, let's wash together."

When Zhou Xingchi heard this, he immediately excitedly pulled Zhang Meng towards the bedroom, which shows that it is definitely impossible for them to be just friends.

And that's exactly what happened.

Since Zhang Meng signed a contract with Wei, Zhou Xingchi's careful thinking has become active, and whenever he has time, he asks Zhang Meng to eat, watch a movie or something.

At first, Zhang Mian also had a bottom line, and only stayed at the friend stage.

But after cooperating in "Truant Weilong 2", the two got together again. Zhang Meng naturally didn't want to be a junior hiding in a dark corner.

asked Zhou Xingchi to break up with Li Meixian.

Zhou Xingchi also has this meaning, since the kidnapping incident, his feelings for Li Meixian have gradually faded, and now he has Zhang Mian again,

The feeling of Li Meixian is naturally lighter.

But Li Meixian was really good to him, and completely put himself in the role of a virtuous wife, which made him really not know how to speak.

So he asked Zhang Meng to give him a little time.

The latter agreed, and he didn't rush him again for this time.

The so-called bath is fake, and halfway through the bath, the two are in the bathroom and have a hand-to-hand fight, and a piercing snapping sound echoes in the bathroom.

It lasted a few minutes before calm returned.

Zhang Meng turned on the shower, rinsed off the essence set on her back, then rinsed her body again, then turned off the water, and wiped her hair and body with a bath towel.

"I'll go out first."

At this time, Zhou Xingchi was resting on the washstand, he was originally a relatively thin type, and the impact just now consumed a lot of his physical strength.

After Zhang Mian, who was wrapped in a bath towel, went out, he rinsed his body and left the bathroom.

In the bedroom, Zhang Meng sat in front of the dresser and dried his hair, and Zhou Xingchi was lying on the bed, with a deep expression on his face: "You can help me with something." ā€

"What's the matter?" Zhang Mian asked casually,

"At the party just now, Lin Jianyue approached me and wanted to cooperate with me to set up a film company, and then this company would invest in an international blockbuster."

"I'll be the lead actor."
