"I don't have a very suitable script in my hands now, but ......" Lin Youlun looked at Zhou Xingchi with an expectant face, and the other party's expression turned with his tone, first he couldn't help but be disappointed, and then he was re-energized.

"Last year, Mak Danxiong came to me and said that he wanted to make a biopic of Hong Kong drug lord Wu Xihao."

Lin Youlun brought the topic to Mai Danxiong, and Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but look puzzled, but he didn't ask, but listened patiently.

"Mai Danxiong has always been very accurate in judging the market, and I also think that biographical films are indeed in a window period now, so I have an idea...... Actually, you can try to make a movie about it. ”

Zhou Xingchi's brows finally couldn't help but twitch, and his expression looked very surprised.

It's not that Zhou Xingchi can't make biopic films, but the problem is "what to shoot" and "how to shoot".

The former problem is encountered by all actors, but the latter problem is Zhou Xingchi's heart disease all along.

Making a biographical film means giving up the original comedy performance style, and Chow Xingchi has not tried to transform before, but Hong Kong audiences only recognize Chow Xingchi's comedies, and don't buy other genres.

The two problems faced by Zhou Xingchi are just one problem in Lin Youlun's view.

"No one says that biographical films have to be very serious, in my opinion, biopics can also be presented in the form of comedy, the key is to find a combination of the two." Lin Youlun stared at Zhou Xingchi with blazing eyes, "In my opinion, this combination point is you!" ”

"Me?" Zhou Xingchi pointed to himself. The mouth grows big. Didn't close for half a day.

"You can make an autobiography. Or adapt your previous story into a movie, so that the comedy film and the biopic film are combined? The answer given by Lin Youlun was unexpected.

While Zhou Xingchi was still stunned, Lin Youlun continued: "Don't you think your experience of becoming famous in the entertainment industry is very representative? At first, it was just a trick that you couldn't even say your lines, during which you must have been ridiculed from all sides, and in the process of failure after failure, you slowly found your own way...... These can all be adapted into movie stories. ”

Lin Youlun's words reminded Zhou Xingchi of many years ago, when he and Liang Chaowei were admitted to wireless together, and Liang Chaowei quickly became popular. became one of the "Five Tiger Generals" praised by the TV station, but he was just an unknown trickster, without a single line, and the photographer didn't even bother to give him a frontal shot, so he could only stay in the lens for a few seconds.

The former friend got ahead, Zhou Xingchi was very happy, and at the same time he was also very hurt, but no one cares about the feelings of an actor.

During that time, Zhou Xingchi felt like he was walking on a dark road, with no one around him to rely on. I can't see the way forward, and I can't turn back. He could only touch the black and hit his head and bleed, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go down.

After becoming famous, Zhou Xingchi often recalls that time, when he and Wu Mengda lived very close, and the two often made an appointment to go to the top of Taiping Mountain to drink beer and watch the night view, and swore that they would shoot many TV series together when they became famous in the future, and if they were lucky and became very famous, they would make many, many movies together.

Neither Zhou Xingchi nor Wu Mengda expected that this wish would soon become a reality, and the two were really afraid of many movies together, and they became the most box office appealing "golden partners" in the Hong Kong film industry.

Originally, this was a memory buried in the bottom of his heart, after becoming famous, Zhou Xingchi never talked about the past in public, if it wasn't for Lin Youlun to bring it up, it would probably be a long time before he would have the idea of adapting this experience into a movie.

"You can first get this script out according to your own ideas, and then I will help you revise it." Lin Youlun paused, "By the way, I have already thought of the name of the movie, it will be called "The King of Comedy". ”

Zhou Xingchi stood in place in a daze, chewing on the name "King of Comedy", Lin Youlun patted him on the shoulder, and left first.

——

The premiere of "Untouchable Lovers" was very lively, Mei Yanfang, Tan Yonglin, and Zhou Haimei and a group of "relatives and friends" were very able to drive the atmosphere on stage, and the interaction with the media in the audience was also very active, Lin Youlun just sat in the audience and watched, and did not go up to join in the fun.

Lu Liangwei showed up on the stage, and then saw an opportunity to slip down and come to Lin Youlun.

After more than two months of continuous weight gain, Lu Liangwei's "beer belly" has been quite large-scale, but it has a bit of the feeling of the drug lord Wu Xihao's big belly back then, Lin Youlun was very satisfied after seeing it, and praised Lu Liangwei when they met.

When Lu Liangwei returned to his seat, his girlfriend Zhou Haimei had just come down from the stage, and seeing Lu Liangwei's elated appearance, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why are you so happy?" ”

"I met Mr. Lin just now......" Lu Liangwei replied with a fluttering eyebrow.

"You've become so fat, Mr. Lin won't fail to recognize you, right?" Zhou Haimei was in high spirits and said something funny.

"How so?" Lu Liangwei didn't control his voice for a while, and the people around him looked over strangely, he hurriedly blocked his mouth with his hand, turned his head sideways and said to Zhou Haimei: "Mr. Lin said that my fat body will not grow in vain!" ”

Zhou Haimei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this was definitely not Lin Youlun's original words.

After being seen through, Lu Liangwei was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Anyway, that's what it means, Mr. Lin is very optimistic about me acting in this movie." ”

Lu Liangwei said this, and Zhou Haimei was also happy for him, the two whispered offstage, and the premiere on stage was also coming to an end.

Zhou Comin came down from the stage, and when he passed by Zhou Haimei and Lu Liangwei, he glanced at the two of them curiously, and after returning to Lin Youlun and sitting down, he asked about it in a low voice.

"I saw Lu Liangwei sneaking to your side just now, what did you say to him?"

"It's nothing, just a casual conversation." Lin Youlun shrugged, "I told him that the movie "Lame Hao" is very promising, and the box office reputation can be a double harvest. ”

Lin Youlun's casual expression made Zhou Yimin have a trace of suspicion, "Are you serious?" ”

Lin Youlun had an innocent expression on his face, "Lu Liangwei has gained more than thirty pounds for this role, I have to say something nice to comfort him." ”

Zhou Comin snorted and laughed, realizing that the occasion was wrong, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and glared at Lin Youlun angrily.

"He's working so hard, and you're still lying to him."

"Although there is no basis for what I said just now, I have always been lucky, and there is a good chance that what I said this time will be fulfilled, so you don't need to worry." Lin Youlun gave Zhou Yimin a reassuring look.

"Okay, then you can predict whether the box office of "Untouchable Lovers" can surpass "My Sassy Girlfriend". Zhou winked playfully.

Lin Youlun didn't expect to be countered by Zhou Yimin, rubbed his finger on his nose, and said with a wry smile: "It should be evenly divided, I hope so." ”

——

"Untouchable Lovers" had a box office of 3.08 million on the first day, slightly lower than "My Sassy Girlfriend", and the Hong Kong media seized the incident to report it hype, and the "lady" and "savage girl" became the most eye-catching topic in Hong Kong for a while.

"My Sassy Girlfriend" premiered in Taiwan with a box office of NT$15 million, and the news spread back to Hong Kong, and the support for "Sassy Girl" surged in popularity, but soon South Korea broke a bigger news.

"Untouchable Lovers" has been released in South Korea for more than half a month, and the cumulative box office has reached 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

With the successive release of the two films in East and South Asia, newspapers can often see the news of how much the box office of these two films has broken through in a certain region, and the box office battle in Hong Kong has also shown a white-hot attitude.

"My Sassy Girlfriend" has been released for more than half a month, and the box office of "Untouchable Lovers" has also risen all the way, and who will kill the deer has become the most enthusiastic topic of discussion in the Hong Kong media.

There is a lot of speculation from the outside world, but the two heroines of the film have avoided other places, Zhou Comin went to Singapore and Malaysia to hold a concert tour, and Wang Jixian went to Taiwan to promote the new film and then gave himself a vacation, planning to stay in Taiwan for the Spring Festival and then return to Hong Kong.

The turmoil here has not subsided, and Wu Dun announced in Taiwan that he will fulfill his promise before the year and hold a celebration banquet for "My Sassy Girlfriend" in Hong Kong.

The media was simply attracted by the news, and did not discover Wu Dun's real intention of holding the celebration banquet in Hong Kong.

Of course, some people questioned that Lin Youlun was the main investor in the movie "My Sassy Girlfriend", and the initiator of the celebration banquet in Hong Kong should be Lin Youlun.

However, someone soon found a reasonable explanation, at a sensitive moment when the media and the public were hotly discussing the strength and weakness of Zhou Comin and Wang Guxian's films, if Lin Youlun held a celebration banquet for "My Sassy Girlfriend" in his own name, he would be suspicious of favoritism towards Zhou Comin and "Untouchable Lovers".

This seemingly reasonable speculation has made a good cover for Wu Dun to hold the celebration banquet in Hong Kong.

Since the celebration banquet was held in Hong Kong, Wu Dun certainly would not miss the opportunity to be in the limelight, and some famous filmmakers and stars in Hong Kong received his invitations, and Lin Youlun's copy was the first to be delivered.

Linked to Yang Dengkui's actions in Taiwan some time ago, Lin Youlun easily saw through Wu Dun's thoughts, but what Lin Youlun didn't expect was another invitation letter in his hand.

This invitation is from new. The Hong Kong branch of the Chinese News Agency was transferred. CCTV invited him to watch the 91 Spring Festival Gala.

Just inviting yourself to be an audience? Lin Youlun felt that things were not so simple, he thought about it, and finally decided to call his old friend. (To be continued......)
