(Ask for collection and recommendation, the new book is in a difficult period, and I urgently need the support of all book friends.) ）

Xiangjiang is one of the most prosperous international metropolises on Shijie, and it is also the birthplace of Chinese-language films.

In the 80s and 90s, Hong Kong's films once dominated the entire Asian film market, and were called 'Oriental Hollywood'.

There are also countless superstars born in this land, such as Li Xiaolong, Zhou Yunfa, Zhou Xingchi, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei and Cheng Long, etc., it can be said that 80% of the biggest stars in the Chinese entertainment industry are gathered on this Hong Kong Island.

In the Xiangjiang International Airport, Ye Sumang and Mr. An got off the plane together, this is also the first time Ye Sumang has set foot on this land, thinking that so many excellent domestic films and Chinese filmmakers have been bred here, it is inevitable that there is a little excitement in his heart.

"Su Mang, just send it here, and contact me when you're done." At the gate of the airport, Old Man An waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, master, this is the address of the hotel, I have already booked the room, you can sign up directly." Ye Sumang did not insist, in this place in Xiangjiang, Old Man An is the landlord.

Naturally, you don't have to be polite with your apprentice, the old man happily took the note with the hotel address written on it, got into the taxi, and disappeared from Ye Sumang's sight.

Looking at the drizzle in the sky, Ye Sumang slowly exhaled a breath, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.

"Hello, I'm Ye Sumang, and I have an appointment with Mr. Liu Dehua, when can I arrange a meeting time."

"Hello Mr. Ye! Mr. Liu has already instructed, when you arrive, you can come to the company directly. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Sumang called another taxi and went straight to Liu Dehua's film company.

Because Liu Dehua is Ye Sumang's favorite actor for a long time, not long ago, Ye Sumang handed over the movie outline to Liu Dehua through the Internet, and at the same time sent him an invitation to perform. The other party was also very interested after reading the outline, so there was an appointment between the two parties this time.

Liu Dehua's company does not have its own building, and it is rented in an office building like Ye Sumang's World Film and Television, and when Ye Sumang reported his name to the front desk, the receptionist at the front desk couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

She really didn't expect that the director who was personally ordered by the boss to meet him was such a young boy, and he was so beautiful, at first she thought it was a child who wanted to be a star to come to the interview.

"Hello, Mr. Ye! Mr. Liu is already waiting for you in the café, and I will take you there. Realizing that she was a little out of shape, the receptionist lady hurriedly stood up, blushed and walked towards the café with Ye Sumang.

In the café of the film company, Ye Sumang met Liu Dehua for the first time, and what was a little different from what he imagined was that this big star didn't have a big star shelf in his daily life, and after seeing Ye Sumang, he made a small joke.

"It's really unfortunate that Mr. Ye came, just in time for the rare bad weather in Xiangjiang." Liu Tianwang hugged Ye Sumang very affectionately after seeing him, and then said with a smile.

When many employees of Liu Dehua's company saw this scene, their eyes widened, and they guessed the identity of the boy.

Some say that they are the sons of a large enterprise, and some say that they are the second generation of a high-ranking mainland official, but no one can guess that Ye Sumang is a director, all because he is too young.

"I don't think it's a bad weather, I prefer rainy days." Ye Sumang shrugged his shoulders, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and made a look of enjoyment. Because he really likes rainy days, the air is fresh, the temperature is cool, and it's good for thinking.

The two of them sat down, and the waiter was very clever and immediately served two cups of coffee, and quietly glanced at Ye Sumang with his spare eyes, his eyes were hot. Ye Sumang didn't notice the waiter's small movements, and at this time he was handing over the detailed script to Liu Dehua.

When it comes to work, Andy Lau also smiled and read the script carefully and carefully.

This made Ye Sumang discover the second advantage of this Liu Tianwang, that is, his serious work attitude.

Even though Ye Sumang had already given him the outline of the movie, when the script was handed over to him, Liu Dehua still read it carefully word by word, and it took a long time to turn the page.

Facing Liu Dehua looking at the script scrutinically, Ye Sumang's face was calm, and he took a sip of coffee unhurriedly, waiting for the result on the other side.

"Yes, it's interesting." After a long time, Liu Dehua finally closed the script and said with satisfaction.

He has been in the film industry for many years, he has his own set of skills in selecting scripts, this "No Thieves in the World" is a very good script in his opinion, it is rare that this script combines business and literature very appropriately, both selling points and connotations, it is very rare.

"Then can we talk about cooperation?" After getting Liu Dehua's answer, Ye Sumang looked solemn and asked seriously.

"Yes, of course." Liu Dehua nodded slowly.

When it comes to cooperation, the first thing to consider is the issue of Liu Dehua's schedule, as the popular king of Asia, Liu Dehua's film appointments can be described as continuous. Even now that he is the boss and his focus has gradually shifted to managing the company, he still has to star in many excellent movies every year.

However, Ye Sumang feels very fortunate that Liu Dehua has not given himself much burden this year because the film company has just started, and there is only one "Infernal Affairs 3" that has been negotiated for a long time is being filmed, and it is about to be completed. I think that by the time "No Thieves in the World" officially starts filming, his schedule will already be vacant.

And another thing that needs to be negotiated is Andy Lau's salary.

Because of the popularity of Infernal Affairs at the end of last year, Andy Lau's already high salary has risen again, and now his external offer has reached 8 million Chinese yuan, which is the highest salary among Chinese actors.

Although Ye Sumang has money in his pocket and is full of confidence, he will not be stupid enough to really come out with 8 million to invite the king, after some discussion, both sides made a move, and Andy Lau finally announced that he would join "No Thieves in the World" at a value of 7 million.

After initialing an agreement, Ye Sumang refused Liu Dehua's invitation to dinner, but returned directly to the hotel to find out about the situation on his side.

"Stinky boy, what else do you have to worry about when I get out of the horse, everything is done, and tomorrow morning, he will go to the mainland with us with his luggage!" An Lao smiled and scolded and said the good news, although it took some effort today, but in the end An Lao persuaded his old friend, and the other party finally agreed to return to the mainland with him to guide Ye Sumang's new play.

"What's the matter, I know that the master, your old man, will definitely succeed!" Ye Sumang, who got the good news, immediately smiled happily and kept saying good things. Although there is a slight suspicion of sycophancy, An Lao is very useful, and the smug look on his face can't be hidden. I feel that today's hard work has been worth it.

Early the next morning, Ye Sumang finally met the thief in An Lao's mouth at the gate of the airport.

The old man who was missing a hand was named Li Ziqiang, and his expression was very cold when he saw Ye Sumang, and he said hello hastily, and walked towards the ticket gate alone.

"Don't get me wrong, this old friend of mine treats everyone like this, and he has the same attitude towards me." An Lao was afraid that Ye Sumang had a mustard in his heart, so he explained on the side.

Ye Sumang smiled, without any dissatisfaction in his expression. Although he was surprised at the old man's attitude at first, he was soon relieved. Anyway, it's not for him to make friends with the old man of the thief, as long as the thief can contribute to his movie wholeheartedly, even if he is a little cold to his temper, so what.

When Ye Sumang's plane landed in Beijing, the news of Liu Dehua joining Ye Sumang's new drama also appeared on the major entertainment pages of the media at the same time.
