599 [Drug Flow Player]
In the parallel space, Tsui Hark's "Swordsman of New Shu Mountain" was invested by Golden Harvest and became a prelude to Tsui Hark's departure from New Art City.
The main reason why Tsui Hark left Xinyicheng to set up his own film studio was not because of the uneven distribution of spoils, but because Mai Jia and others interfered too much in Tsui Hark's films, which made Xu Lao Wei very unhappy. In addition, their film concepts are seriously different, so Tsui Hark made up his mind to fly solo.
Although Wang Zijun asked Zhuge Mao to manage the new art city, the specific film production was in charge of Mai Jia, Shi Tian and others, with the surnames of Mai Jia and Shi Tian, it was absolutely impossible to come up with a huge budget for Tsui Hark to shoot "Shu Mountain".
It turns out that Mai Jia is right, "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" Golden Harvest invested 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but the box office of this film in Hong Kong is only more than 1.5 million. Combined with the income from Taiwan and Southeast Asia, it is thankful that it can earn back its old capital.
"What's the budget?" Wang Zijun stared into Tsui Hark's eyes and asked.
Tsui Hark was looked at by Wang Zijun and said, "15 million." ”
"This money didn't come from Xinyi City, right?" Wang Zijun asked with a smile.
"The managers are only willing to take out 5 million, which is far from enough. Therefore...... "Tsui Hark was not good at speaking, and his speech was even more intermittent at this time, because he contacted Jiahe privately and was suspected of eating inside and out," it happened that Mr. Zou was willing to pay this money. ”
"Oh, he's a hero." Wang Zijun smiled secretly in his heart, Zou Wenhuai's generosity was in stark contrast to Run Run Shaw's stinginess, but it was also too generous. Since Zou Wenhuai is willing to invest in this movie that is destined to hit the streets, it is not easy for Wang Zijun to stop it.
Seeing that Xu Hark was worried, Wang Zijun patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't think about it, Mr. Zou and I are confidants, since he is willing to invest, I naturally want the beauty of sincerity and benevolence." You get your visa first, and then come with me to Hollywood in two days, and I'll introduce you to some special effects artists. ”
Tsui Hark was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Wang." ”
Wang Zijun threw himself away, but he was quite curious about who Tsui Hark would choose to be the heroine of "Shushan". This film was supposed to be starring Lin Qingxia, but now it is obviously impossible to invite Lin Qingxia, and Tsui Hark can't afford to invite it.
Wang Zijun walked out of the gate of the Grand Theater of the Cultural Center, and Lin Bowen and two bodyguards had already parked the car.
"Brother-in-law!" Wang Zijun was just about to get into the car when he heard Guan Zhilin's voice from behind.
"Playing a little longer?" Wang Zijun asked with a smile.
Guan Zhilin said: "I don't have my share in winning the award, so I can only sit there and drink with them." I'm bored, if I had known, I wouldn't have come to this ceremony. ”
Wang Zijun saw her standing there alone, so he asked, "You didn't come by car?" ”
"No, I'm here with Sister Aijia." Guan Zhilin said.
Why did this woman get in a relationship with Zhang Aijia again?
In the past two years, Zhang Aijia has become the highest-paid actress in Hong Kong after Zhao Yazhi because of the filming of "Best Partner". Guan Zhilin became Zhao Yazhi's sister earlier, and now she is Zhang Aijia's friend, Wang Zijun really admires Guan Zhilin's ability to make friends.
"Get in the car, I'll send you." After Wang Zijun finished speaking, he got into the car first very ungracefully.
Guan Zhilin didn't care about these details, and happily followed into the car.
"Where is your home?" Wang Zijun asked.
"Let's go to Lan Kwai Fong first." Guan Zhilin said.
"Lan Kwai Fong?" Wang Zijun was surprised, thinking that the first bar in Lan Kwai Fong had only been open for a year, and they were so famous that even actresses like Guan Zhilin loved it?
"Yes, Lan Kwai Fong is famous. Brother-in-law, you don't often live in Hong Kong, and you must have never heard of it. Guan Zhilin took the initiative to help Wang Zijun introduce, "Now Lan Kwai Fong is the most fun place in Hong Kong, drinking, karaoke, dancing and everything." ”
Wang Zijun looked at his watch and said, "Forget it, it's quite late, and you have to cross the sea over there." ”
"It's not late, it's only nine o'clock." Guan Zhilin unceremoniously pulled Wang Zijun's hand and said, "Go, I'll call a few more friends to come out and sing together." ”
Wang Zijun was so entangled by Guan Zhilin that he had no choice but to say: "It's okay to go, don't call your friends." ”
"It's only two people playing, it's so boring." Guan Zhilin said.
"Love doesn't go." Wang Zijun didn't have a good air, in fact, he also wanted to see what had changed in Lan Kwai Fong.
Guan Zhilin thought that Wang Zijun was a little angry, so he immediately obediently and muttered: "Two people are just two people, who will show a stinky face?" ”
The car was passing through the undersea tunnel, Guan Zhilin looked boredly at the tunnel lights that flickered past, and suddenly turned her head and asked, "Brother-in-law, when will you come back to make Chinese films?" ”
"What are you asking for?" Wang Zijun said.
Guan Zhilin blinked her big eyes and smiled slyly: "If you make a Chinese film, I'll see if you can mix a heroine, then won't it be developed?" ”
Wang Zijun smiled and said, "You are not developed enough now? The annual salary is more than one million Hong Kong dollars. ”
"I just spent 500,000 yuan on a car last month, and my salary for half a year is gone." Guan Zhilin said.
Wang Zijun commented: "Your car should be very good. ”
"It's not as good as the one in your Datunshan garage." Guan Zhilin said and unconsciously moved her body towards Wang Zijun, and the arms of the two were together.
Such an obvious teasing, Wang Zijun only pretended not to know, he didn't have the confidence to deal with this woman, don't make a girl, and in the end she was cuckolded.
As the car drove into the Lan Kwai Fong area, which has changed dramatically from more than a year ago, you can see the neon signs of various bars and nightclubs from afar, and the people come and go endlessly, gathering infinite popularity.
"Go to the Night Rose." Guan Zhilin pointed to a store in front of him and said.
Wang Zijun looked at it and smiled dumbly, the Night Rose Bar was opened by Manna. Knowingly, he asked, "Why did you go there?" Is there anything special? ”
Kwan Zhilin gossiped: "That is the first bar in the whole Lan Kwai Fong." And the proprietress is a big beauty, and many rich men come here to spend, just to pursue the proprietress . However, I heard that the proprietress is the secret "qingren" of Xin Yi'an Xiang Huaqiang, and whoever dares to do anything to her will be unlucky when she goes out. ”
"Who do you listen to?" Wang Zijun asked funny.
"Everybody says that." Guan Zhilin said.
Wang Zijun asked, "Do you often come here to drink?" ”
"What often comes? I don't have time for filming, I've only been here four or five times in total. Guan Zhilin said.
Wang Zijun said: "It's better for girls to come to nightclubs less. ”
The car drove to a stop outside the Night Rose Bar, Wang Zijun looked up and found that many places on the upper floors of this building were lit up, and it seemed that there were many shops.
This building was bought by Wang Zijun, but it has long been handed over to the property company to help manage it, and he doesn't know much about the current situation.
Guan Zhilin saw Wang Zijun looking at the building, and said: "I heard that this building was bought by a mysterious big boss, and he will collect millions of dollars a year just for rent. ”
Wang Zijun couldn't hold back a smile and walked into the bar with sunglasses.
The environment inside is good, the dim and hazy lights, coupled with soft music, are very suitable for the taste of petty bourgeois white-collar workers. There are also places where you want to be fanatical and passionate, and the Di bar next door to Huaqiang is a group of demons dancing.
"A cocktail, thank you." Guan Zhilin sat in front of the bar and said to the bartender.
Don't look at Guan Zhilin is now a big star, but she likes to go to bars very much, which will be a bad street activity in the future. Because bars have only been popular in Hong Kong for a year, they are very avant-garde and fashionable places.
In addition, drinking in bars, which used to be only seen in foreign movies, can now be experienced by myself, and in the eyes of some people who have never been abroad, it is like enjoying the high-quality life abroad.
Wang Zijun saw Guan Zhilin sitting in front of the bar and didn't leave, so he had to sit down next to her and said to the waiter: "A glass of orange juice." ”
The little brother estimated that it was a little strange Wang Zijun was a big man drinking orange juice, and he couldn't help but look at him twice, feeling that his face was familiar and he didn't dare to confirm it, so he could only honestly hand over a glass of orange juice.
The bartender was still mixing Guan Zhilin's cocktails when several men walked into the bar. The leader was in a suit and leather shoes, looking like a successful person, he looked around, his eyes lit up when he saw Guan Zhilin, and after whispering a few words to his companion, he walked to the bar with a smile and sat down on the other side of Guan Zhilin.
After the man asked for a glass of whiskey, he turned his head to look at Guan Zhilin on the bar, and suddenly pretended to be surprised: "Miss, you look like a person!" ”
Guan Zhilin said in retort when she heard this: "Which eye do you see that I am not human?" ”
"Ah, no," the man explained, knowing that he had made a mistake, "I mean you look like a big star." ”
"A lot of people say that." Guan Zhilin said with a smile.
The man was fascinated by Guan Zhilin's smile, patted the bar and said, "The more you look at it, the more it looks like it, the more you laugh the more it looks." ”
"And who do you say I look like?" Guan Zhilin asked.
"Like Guan Zhilin." The man patted his ass and said, "No, it's even more beautiful than Guan Zhilin." ”
"Miss, your cocktail." The bartender pushed the wine in front of Guan Zhilin.
The man exaggerated: "Wow, Miss, you really have good taste, this cocktail is very good for you." ”
Guan Zhilin felt that the man was too pretentious, and he was too lazy to talk to him, so he turned his face to Wang Zijun's side.
"Miss, what do you do?" The man persevered, "It's a pity that you're so beautiful and not a star, a friend of mine is the owner of a film company and is just going to make a film, or I recommend you to be the heroine?" ”
"Sorry, I'm not interested!" Guan Zhilin got up and went to the bathroom after speaking.
Seeing Guan Zhilin leaving, several of the man's companions immediately surrounded him and asked, "Brother Ji, how is it?" ”
"Brother Chicken is out, the chick will naturally take it immediately!" The man was afraid of losing face, so he had to brag about himself, and after sending his companion away, he quietly took out a small bottle, hooked some medicinal powder with his fingernails and invaded Guan Zhilin's cocktail.
Wang Zijun saw it clearly on the side, thinking that this kind of drug flow contestant really has a long history.
After Guan Zhilin came back, she picked up her cocktail and said to Wang Zijun: "You are really boring, you drink orange juice quietly alone." Why don't we go upstairs to the karaoke room and sing. ”
When the drugged man saw Guan Zhilin and Wang Zijun talking, he knew that the other person had a male companion, and immediately prepared to turn around and leave.
"Why don't you leave without a drink?" Wang Zijun spoke suddenly.
