(It's rude to not stay up late for a long time and fall asleep again.) ）

The celebration banquet of Phoenix Culture was very large, and all the people who could be regarded as the door of the company, whether employees or artists, were present, and there were other insiders who had cooperated with the whole restaurant of the hotel.

There is a reason why I chose to show my muscles at this time, if "When Happiness Knocks" does not win the award this time, it will be after the next movie is a big hit, or after the North American box office statistics break through a number, in short, the time will not be too far behind.

'85 is a very important year in the history of Hong Kong films, and the Ts, which has been dominant in the Hong Kong film industry for decades, has entered a state of discontinuation, and all kinds of its personnel have fallen apart, which is a good time for Phoenix Culture to recruit talents. If you want to recruit talents, you must be recognized by these talents, and it is imperative to show your muscles, otherwise companies such as Golden Harvest and Golden Princess will also be eyeing it.

Mo Fei's original intention was just to hold such a celebration banquet, and the scope was not intended to be too wide, that is, some friends within the company and close contacts. Who knew that after the news came out, almost the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry was alarmed, and nearly half of the people were uninvited, and the banquets prepared before were seriously insufficient.

Wang Jing, Zhou Yunfa and others, who first started to cooperate, Zhang Guorong, Tsui Hark and others who cooperated very well later, as well as Tan Yonglin, Zhong Zhentao, Xiao Fangfang, Hong Jinbao and others who did not cooperate much but had a good relationship with each other, all rushed to the banquet early.

It was a shuttle back and forth in the crowd. Every group of people had to be greeted and taken care of, and some guests who had not cooperated and were not familiar with it before also had to be greeted one by one. So busy that I didn't even have time to take a break.

Just stood still and was about to smoke a cigarette to slow down, so that his legs could rest for a while, and the assistant Wu Long ran over again: "Mr. Mo, Mr. Zou Wenhuai from Jiahe is here, and he is surrounding a group of reporters outside." ”

Zou Wenhuai is an old-timer in the film industry and a very important figure in the history of Hong Kong films. He took two puffs to extinguish his cigarette and walked towards the outside of the banquet hall with Oolong.

Outside the door, Zou Wenhuai just got off the elevator and was surrounded by reporters. Microphones, interview machines, and cameras were all aimed at each other, and one by one they scrambled to start asking questions.

"Mr. Zou, what do you think of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" winning the Berlin Film Festival Grand Prix, does this mean that Hong Kong films have the strength to enter the world?"

"Mr. Zou. You are here today in person at the celebration banquet of Phoenix Culture. Is it possible to say that Golden Harvest wants to join hands with Phoenix Culture to attack the international market, is there any specific plan? ”

"There is news on the studio that the company will officially stop production within the year, does Mr. Zou think Golden Harvest will become the new hegemon of the Hong Kong film industry next, or will the Hong Kong film market make a comeback?"

Reporters will never be responsible for asking questions, Rao is Zou Wenhuai has been dealing with these people for decades, and he also has a headache, while walking forward slowly. On the other hand, he said: "Today is to celebrate the success of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", this film is a big hit all over the world. won the Golden Bear Award again, of course, for our Hong Kong films, but also for Chinese films, which is the pride of our Hong Kong film industry.

As for attacking the international market, we Hong Kong filmmakers have been working hard for many years, but there is still a big gap between us and European and American films, and I think it can only be a tentative stage now, and when our film industry can be as developed as Europe and the United States, it will not be a problem to enter the international market. I'm here to congratulate, everyone is so blocked here, blocking the guests, or please let me go, if there are any problems, let's talk about it later, thank you. ”

Mo Fei has been watching Zou Wenhuai deal with these reporters from a short distance, this old man really has two moments, talking for a long time is equivalent to saying nothing, even when Hong Kong films enter the international arena are brought over by the scene, these reporters have worked in vain.

Seeing that Zou Wenhuai successfully broke through, Mo Fei immediately walked over quickly, shook hands with Zou Wenhuai, and said: "Mr. Zou is here, it is not far away, please forgive Mr. Zou." ”

Zou Wenhuai smiled, gently shook the hand that he was holding with Mo Fei, and said: "You are a great hero of Hong Kong films, you have done such a beautiful and big thing, and you are already far ahead of us old guys, of course I want to congratulate you, what is not far away." ”

"Haha, Mr. Zou arrived before me, and he said my words before me, it seems that I can only congratulate me." Lei Juekun, who had just been accompanied by Huang Baiming out of the elevator, came over and said: "Mr. Mo, you are young and promising, the future of Hong Kong movies depends on you young people." ”

Mo Fei stretched out his hand to shake Lei Juekun and said, "Mr. Lei praised it falsely, I was just lucky this time, and I may not be so lucky in the future." ”

Lei Juekun waved his hand very vigorously and said: "Is it just good luck to win the award, not to mention the Berlin Film Festival, even the Hong Kong Academy Awards can't be won by luck, if you really rely on luck, then we can burn incense every day." ”

"Mr. Lei always speaks so funny" let him say this, it was really hard to say anything, and he coped with a sentence and brought the two of them to the main table, served tea and chatted for a few words before leaving to greet the other guests.

The heads of the film company who came to congratulate him would definitely not be only Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, and it didn't take long for He Guanchang to come with his godson Chen Long. He Guanchang has been experienced for a long time, and after congratulating Mo Fei, he said a few beautiful words; But Chen Long is different, maybe he still remembers the reason why Mo Fei refused to give him the role, and he is always smiling when he speaks.

It doesn't matter, they are not people on the same road as each other, it is normal to not interact with each other for a lifetime, just say hello and go to greet others, even He Guanchang didn't say a few words,

Others can be indifferent, but He Guanchang can't, after leaving Mo Fei for a distance, he dragged Chen Long aside and said, "Ah Long, what did you do, we are here to congratulate you today, you will offend people like this." Mr. Zou is also here today, we still want to communicate with Princess Jin, and talk to Mo Fei about the cooperation in the movie, Golden Harvest is now dominated by you, and it will not be you who will benefit at that time, how can I talk to Mr. Zou when you look like this. ”

"Godfather, I think we're doing well now, so there's no need to cooperate with him. If he is good, let him be great, as long as I make two good films, I can successfully enter the North American market, not necessarily worse than him. "Chen Long is a very face-saving person, the first time he was rejected by others, he was unwilling to have a second time, although he knew that there was a good chance to cooperate with Mo Fei, but he was still unwilling to stand on the passive side.

"Alas", Chen Long is He Guanchang's godson, and he is also the pillar of Jiahe, in any way He Guanchang needs to help and educate him, sighed and said: "Ah Long, when can you change your temper, you also have a company, think about it, if someone asks you to help arrange the role, or even ask you to help write a script, the other party still has a little grudge with you, will you help." ”

"But, godfather, he's too faceless......"

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." He Guanchang didn't wait for Chen Long to finish speaking, then interrupted: "You think he is younger than you, but his achievements are much higher than yours, so you don't want to have any relationship with him, right?" If people can succeed, it proves that they have this strength, so what about you, aren't you also more successful than many people of the same age, or even many years older than you, if those people are not willing to associate with you, can you have today? If you don't change your mentality, sooner or later you will suffer in this regard. ”

Mo Feicai didn't bother to care what He Guanchang and Chen Long said, less than a minute after letting the two of them in, another uninvited guest also arrived, Wu Siyuan, the owner of Siyuan Film Company.

This is also a not simple character, he has debuted in the sixties, he has directed and written many popular films in his life, and he will serve as the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards for many years in the future, and he is also the promoter of film exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong.

I still admire Wu Siyuan very much, he is a person who really does things for movies, not just making money through movies, at least he has contributed to the film industry.

The two had just chatted for a few words, and the elevator door opened again, and several bodyguards in black suits came out first, and then two men and a woman came out of the elevator. Although they didn't make a fortune, that posture already explained their identity...... Gang members.

I haven't dealt with these people, but so much news and rumors in my previous life have spread their names, the Xiang brothers, the biggest gang leaders in Hong Kong.

For these underworld figures, they have always been reluctant to get involved, and it is best not to deal with them if they can. But I really don't know what's going on today, Zou Wenhuai, who rarely shows up in person, is here, Wu Siyuan, who is waiting to go, is here, and now two gangsters are here, it's just a celebration banquet, do you want such a big battle.

Of course, Xiang Huaqiang couldn't feel Mo Fei's psychological activities, so he walked over with his brother Xiang Huasheng and his wife, and took the initiative to congratulate Mo Fei: "Mr. Mo, congratulations, congratulations, it's really for us Hong Kong people and Hong Kong movies to win glory." I rarely admire Hua Qiang contemptible people, but Mr. Mo, you definitely have to be counted as one, and I am not invited to come today, and please Mr. Mo not be surprised. ”

Xiang Huaqiang's words were quite polite, he didn't look like a gang brother at all, he was more like a businessman, which made Mo Fei a little confused. It's just that there is not so much time to think about it at this time, as long as the other party is not here to make trouble, it must be welcomed.

Keeping a smile and shaking hands with the other three, he said, "These two should be Xiang Tai and another Mr. Xiang, welcome." Mr. Xiang made a special trip, I only have thanks, how can I talk about it, the three of you hurry up, please. (To be continued......)
