Lin Youlun thought to himself that sure enough, there are two versions of "New Love" in Hong Kong, and this "New Love" directed by Er Dongsheng can be regarded as a typical representative of Hong Kong's local love films, not only did the box office exceed 30 million after its release, but if nothing else, this movie will become the biggest winner at next year's Academy Awards.

Of course, there is a reason why "New Love" is so successful, because for a long time, the Hong Kong film market has occupied nothing more than police films, martial arts films and comedy films. The film company revolves around entertainment and commerciality, and everything is aimed at the box office, which leads to the popularity of many sensational and pretentious works, and the audience is either tired or numb after watching too much.

Although the plot has been suspected of being "white", as a mainstream commercial film, the natural interest in life and humor in the film also provides a good model for the Hong Kong film industry, which has always been "heavy on business and light on literature and art".

In short, in Lin Youlun's impression, "New Love" is definitely a good movie, and Er Dongsheng, who directed this movie, is also a good director.

The reason why Er Dongsheng is a good director is because he is very good at praising newcomers, he is not a prolific director in Hong Kong, but basically one or two movies can bring out a newcomer, the most representative is Leung Chaowei, he became famous in the Hong Kong film industry because of Er Dongsheng's "The True Story of the Crazy Guy".

The two factors of a good movie and a good director are combined, and Lin Youlun is of course willing to see Zhou Yimin act in this movie.

Zhong Chuhong is a two-time Golden Statue Queen, and Wang Guxian is now also a Golden Horse and Golden Statue Queen. Only Zhou Comin has never won any weighty awards in movies. As long as Zhou Comin starred in "New Love". At next year's Academy Awards, Lin Youlun can confidently award a little golden figure to her, which can be regarded as a compensation for this gentle and virtuous woman who has been silently by her side.

After Zhou Yimin learned Lin Youlun's attitude towards this matter, his eyes lit up at first, but they soon dimmed again.

"However, my agent persuaded me not to take this play......"

"Lin Xiaoman really said that?" Lin Youlun frowned.

After Zhou Comin became famous, Lin Xiaoman resigned from his position at Huaxing Records and became Zhou Comin's agent. At the same time, she also opened a brokerage company herself, and Zheng Yijian is one of the artists under her name.

Of course, the main reason why Lin Xiaoman was able to do this today is because she is Zhou Comin's agent, and everyone knows that Lin Youlun is behind Zhou Comin, so she usually gives her face.

Lin Xiaoman has always been very attentive to Zhou Comin's brokerage work, and she has cooperated with Zhou Comin for many years, and the two have formed a deep personal friendship, so Zhou Comin has never had the intention of changing agents.

Some strong agents may be very strict with the management of their artists, but as long as the artists who are famous. There is a lot of autonomy, which is very different from the rules of the entertainment industry in Japan and South Korea. And the relationship between Zhou Comin and Lin Xiaoman, more often than not, Lin Xiaoman is serving Zhou Comin, nominally an agent, but in fact he is doing the work of an assistant.

Zhou Yimin likes this movie himself, but Lin Xiaoman objected, and there must be a reason for this.

Zhou Comin then explained the reason for Lin Xiaoman's objection: "Because this is Er Dongsheng's entrepreneurial work after opening his own film company, the salary offered to me is a little low, only a little more than one million, and then Xiaoman feels that if I take it, it will be tantamount to lowering my own price, if this movie can be made popular, it will be a little big impact on me." ”

Lin Youlun nodded after hearing this, if he hadn't known in advance that "New Love" was a very good movie, and the other party only offered a salary of one million, Lin Youlun would definitely make the same suggestion as Lin Xiaoman.

Now Wang Guxian's salary for a movie is at least 4 million or more, and Qiu Shuzhen, who is slightly inferior, also starts at 3 million, Zhou Yimin really wants to act seriously, with her image, fame and public influence, she should at least have a salary grade with Wang Guxian to be reasonable.

Of course, acting in "New Love" is another matter, Zhou Comin lowered her salary to take over this movie, and this movie has achieved very good results in the future, everyone will only say that Zhou Comin has vision, and it will also pave the way for her to win the actress at next year's Academy Awards.

Seeing Zhou Comin's hesitant appearance, Lin Youlun easily guessed her thoughts, she wanted to act in this movie, and at the same time had some concerns about the problems mentioned by Lin Xiaoman, so she was undecided.

"You're worried that you won't be able to convince Lin Xiaoman, right?"

Zhou Comin nodded, "Xiao Man is thinking about me, if I am too willful, I will be a little sorry for her kindness." ”

Lin Youlun shrugged, "Then I have to do this wicked man." ”

Zhou Yimin looked at Lin Youlun with some puzzlement: "What wicked person?" ”

Lin Youlun stood up, hugged Zhou Comin from behind, and whispered in her ear: "You tell Lin Xiaoman that I mean to ask you to act in this movie, and then she won't have any more ideas." ”

In a tea restaurant, two brothers, Qin Pei and Er Dongsheng, sat facing each other.

"Xiaobao, it's not me talking about you, the two heroines you chose this time are a little too taken for granted." Qin Pei took a sip of the coffee in front of her, put it down and continued: "Ayu broke up with you for so long, and what she is most annoyed about now is being asked by the Hong Kong media about her feelings, if she agrees to be the heroine of your film, she must not be annoyed to death by the Hong Kong media?" Besides, you don't mind the past with her anymore, but she may still be thinking about it...... Let's talk about Miss Zhou, although she doesn't act in movies much, her value will not be lower than that of a first-line actress, you will offer a salary of one million, maybe the script will not reach her at all, and she will be rejected directly from the agent. ”

"Ayu has clearly replied to me that she will not come to act in this movie...... As for Miss Zhou, I don't think it's completely hopeless, although the salary I offered is low, I am very confident in this script, anyway, she is not short of money, maybe she agreed because she liked this role? Er Dongsheng pouted and said.

"I advise you to plan ahead, things are not as simple as you think." Qin Pei shook his head.

"Big brother, don't worry, it's not like I haven't thought about this problem, if it really doesn't work, Yuan Yongyi, who won the best newcomer at this year's Academy Awards, can also be considered." Er Dongsheng stirred the silver spoon in the coffee cup and said casually.

"Yuan Yongyi has always given people the impression of 'croaking, zaza jumping', are you sure she can play this role well?" Qin Pei looked suspicious.

"As I said, there is really no way to do it."

Er Dongsheng finished speaking, then raised his hand and waved, Qin Pei turned his head to look over, only to see a man wearing sunglasses asking the waiter at the door about something, seeing Er Dongsheng beckoning here, he immediately thanked the waiter, and then walked over.

Qin Pei turned around and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Liu Qingyun."

Er Dongsheng's answer made Qin Pei stunned for a moment, and then quickly guessed Er Dongsheng's plan.

"Are you going to let him play the leading actor?"

"Originally, my favorite candidate was the second brother, but he was not interested in this role...... Okay, without further ado, he's already here. Er Dongsheng tidied up his clothes and stood up.

"Director Jiang!"

Liu Qingyun took off his sunglasses and shook hands with Er Dongsheng.

"Okay, it's okay to call me Xiaobao, don't call Director Jiang, it's very raw." Er Dongsheng patted Liu Qingyun's arm and motioned for him to sit down together.

"Brother Paul!" Liu Qingyun sat down, and then said hello to Qin Pei.

"Qingyun, there has been a lot of news about you in the newspapers recently!" Qin Pei smiled and joked with Liu Qingyun.

"Is there one?" Liu Qingyun knew what Qin Pei was talking about, but he deliberately pretended to be confused.

Er Dongsheng also coaxed on the side and said: "Why not, I think among so many male artists in TVB, you are the most promising!" ”

Liu Qingyun picked up the coffee sent by the waiter, took a sip and said, "Okay, don't be sarcastic about me, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, which one is not better than me?" ”

"Are Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei very powerful? Why don't I think, at least they don't have the experience of soaking in Sister Hong Kong, and you really have a Hong Kong sister, tell me honestly, when are you going to get married? Er Dongsheng asked with a smile.

The past two days are close to the finals of Sister Hong Kong, and the newspapers are full of topics about Sister Hong Kong, and even the matter of Liu Qingyun and Guo Aiming's filming was exposed by the paparazzi.

And this matter can't be completely blamed on the Hong Kong media gossip, mainly because since the birth of Sister Hong Kong, except for a few who have entered the entertainment industry, most of the champions have married into wealthy families, even if they did not marry into a top wealthy family like the Huo family in Hong Kong like Zhu Lingling, but those who can win the hearts of beauties are also those wealthy businessmen who are worth a lot of money.

The facts are in front of him, and Liu Qingyun can't help but admit it: "We are just dating, and we haven't thought that far ahead." ”

Er Dongsheng continued to joke: "Wireless Fei is so energetic to prepare to hold Guo Aiming to the throne, but now the fruit has been picked by you, do you think that the sixth uncle and Mr. Lin will hate you so much?" ”

Liu Qingyun's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Don't make this kind of joke casually, do you really want me to be happy in Hong Kong until I am cornered?" (To be continued......)
