The middle-aged man who came over on behalf of the Golden Horse Award Organizing Committee was named Liang Guangbiao, and he was invited by Lin Youlun to sit down, but before his butt was hot, three more people came in the hotel café.

The first person is Lin Youlun's old acquaintance, Ma Fangxi, the general manager of Shaw Brothers Taiwan Branch.

Ma Fangxian was followed by the two men, one of whom was of general medium stature, with a broad chest, a serious face, and thick eyebrows; His eyes and furrowed eyebrows looked like they had been frustrated and angry.

Next to this man was a large man, wearing a floral shirt, with dark skin on his arms, clear but not thick eyebrows, deep eyes, and a slightly large nose and mouth. Like most people over forty, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and he seemed to look deeper.

The three of them paused for a moment after entering the door, and then walked straight to the seat where Lin Youlun and they were sitting.

After seeing the appearance of one of the people who was following Ma Fangxi, the expression of Liang Cursor, who was sitting next to Lin Youlun, suddenly became a little unnatural.

Lin Youlun and Wang Guxian both stood up, and Liang Guangbiao had no choice but to follow.

Ma Fangxian first greeted Lin Youlun, and then nodded with a smile at Wang Guxian.

"Xiaoxian is also there?"

Ma Fangxian can be regarded as the leader of Wang Guxian's entry into the entertainment industry, because of this relationship, he has few scruples when talking and joking with Wang Guxian, "I'm back to participate in the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, right?" ”

Looking at Wang Guxian in front of him, Ma Fangxian suddenly felt a little emotional, 4 years ago, he saw Wang Guxian's film debut "The Lakeside Will Be Cold Tonight" at the Golden Horse Film Festival, and then recommended her to Fang Yihua who came to Taiwan, but he didn't expect it to be 4 years later. The little girl who shocked him back then. He has grown into a movie star who has become famous overseas.

The man with a slightly serious expression standing behind Ma Fangji. At this time, he suddenly opened his mouth: "Mr. Liang, I didn't expect us to meet again." ”

Liang Guangbiao's face was fat, and his eyes were originally small, but at this time, he half-squinted, and almost became a slit, "Yes, I didn't expect to see Director Hou here." ”

Lin Youlun's eyes couldn't help but look at the "Director Hou" twice, the director surnamed Hou in Taiwan. He only remembered one in his memory, but he was a little unsure that it was not the person in front of him.

Liang Guangbiao turned around and shook Lin Youlun's hand, "Mr. Lin, since you still have guests here, then I will leave first." ”

Lin Youlun saw that Liang Guangbiao and the director Hou who came with Ma Fangxian seemed to be a little festive, so he didn't do anything to keep it.

As soon as Liang Guangbiao left, Ma Fangxian said: "I forgot to introduce to Mr. Lin, this is a very famous director in Taiwan this year, Hou Xiaoxian, Director Hou." ”

Lin Youlun was slightly stunned when he heard Hou Xiaoxian's name. I didn't expect to let myself guess correctly.

"Director Hou has won a lot of awards overseas in recent years......" Ma Fangxian was originally going to continue the introduction, but he didn't finish speaking. interrupted Hou Xiaoxian.

"Manager Ma, don't praise me, my achievements may be mentioned in front of others, but it is not worth mentioning in Mr. Lin."

Hou Xiaoxian has indeed won a lot of awards in Europe in recent years, but the three most influential film awards have not won anything, and the film "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" written and produced by Lin Youlun is the first Chinese-language film to win the Cannes Palme d'Or.

Lin Youlun has already summed up a set of methods when dealing with directors like Hou Xiaoxian, who think highly of themselves, the more humble he is, the less you have to be humble with him, otherwise the other party will think that you look down on him.

"Director Hou's name, I have heard of it in Hong Kong, but today I am fortunate to meet him!"

After introducing Hou Xiaoxian, Ma Fangxian then introduced the big man who came with him: "This is the founder of Taiwan Dengkui Film Company, Mr. Yang Dengkui!" ”

Lin Youlun was already about to hand out his hand, but after hearing the name Yang Dengkui, he hesitated slightly.

"It turns out that Mr. Yang has also been released, congratulations!"

Yang Dengkui was arrested in his early years for killing Hei. The gang leader was imprisoned and served his sentence, and in 1975 he was released on parole and went to Taipei to establish Dengkui Film Company. background, got to know a lot of artists, during which he made movies such as "The Pink Corps", and gradually became a well-known figure in the Taiwanese film industry.

Just when Yang Dengkui was about to show his strength, in 1985, he was arrested again in the "Yiqing Project", and until the death of Mr. Jiang this year, Taiwan granted amnesty to a group of criminals, and Yang Dengkui was among them.

Although Lin Youlun shook hands with Yang Dengkui with a smile, the alienation in his tone was also very obvious.

The black of Taiwan's entertainment industry. After two years of rectification, it is no longer as rampant as before, coupled with the recession of Taiwanese films, it is unprofitable. The help has turned to more profitable industries, which has also made the atmosphere of Taiwan's entertainment industry much better.

With Lin Youlun's identity, there is really no need to have anything to do with Yang Dengkui, so it is not surprising that he shows such an attitude.

Although Yang Dengkui was a little uncomfortable in his heart, Lin Youlun's identity did make him a little jealous, and he came today to ask for help, so even if he was dissatisfied, he could only endure it.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your concern, this time I came out, I am ready to return to my old business, and I will inevitably have to deal with Hong Kong in the future, and I will ask Mr. Lin to take care of me when the time comes!"

"Well said!" Lin Youlun smiled faintly and invited everyone to sit down.

"Mr. Lin, this time we found Manager Ma and begged him to be this middleman, in fact, we wanted to ask Mr. Lin for a favor." Hou Xiaoxian also saw that Lin Youlun was a little uninterested in Yang Dengkui, and even because of this, he even looked at him a little strangely, the more this was the case, the more Hou Xiaoxian had to explain this matter clearly.

"I have a script in my hand, but because the subject matter is a bit sensitive, I haven't been able to find an investor......," Hou Xiaoxian said, glancing at Yang Dengkui, "Now only Mr. Yang is willing to invest in me, but we are worried that this film will be banned by the authorities after it is made, so we want to change the background of the film's capital to a company in Hong Kong, so that the risk will be smaller." ”

Hou Xiaoxian didn't say it thoroughly, but Lin Youlun understood what he meant, if he simply changed the background of the film's management to Hong Kong, Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Dengkui would not have to go through such trouble to find themselves, they did this in the hope that they could serve as the producer of the film.

Lin Youlun is different from ordinary Hong Kong filmmakers, if this movie can be hung under his name, it can save Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Dengkui a lot of trouble. (To be continued......)
