"Mr. Lin, wait a minute, I'll take care of the matter at hand." Huang Licheng covered the microphone with his hand and motioned to the secretary to turn the phone to the encrypted line.

New. It has not been a day or two since the Chinese news agency's Hong Kong bureau was wiretapped, and Hong Kong newspapers have reported on the incident, and Huang Licheng's office has people check it every day to make sure that no bugs have been installed.

After the secretary reported that the call had been encrypted, Huang Licheng picked up the microphone again.

"Mr. Lin, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

Huang Licheng had already guessed Lin Youlun's intention to make this call, but he still had to do enough work on the surface.

"President Huang doesn't know what to do?" Lin Youlun asked rhetorically.

Huang Licheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed.

"Mr. Lin is still so fast-talking, the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala is indeed transferred from me, Mr. Lin can say if he has any doubts, as long as it does not violate the principles of the organization, I will definitely know everything."

"President Huang is serious, I just want to know that this invitation will not simply let me be an audience, right?"

Huang Licheng didn't go around the corner, and clearly expressed his attitude to Lin Youlun: "This mainly depends on Mr. Lin's personal wishes, as an old friend, I very much hope that Mr. Lin can make such a trip, and the mainland is also very much looking forward to it...... It would be great if one or two influential Hong Kong celebrities could go along with Mr. Lam. ”

Lin Youlun was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, "Can you arrange for them to perform at the Spring Festival Gala?" ”

"Yes, but the number of programs cannot exceed two, and the content of the programs must be reported for review in advance." Huang Licheng agreed very simply.

"Is it acceptable to host from Hong Kong?" Lin Youlun made another request.

Huang Licheng frowned, this request was beyond his authority. You must report to Lu Shang before you can give Lin Youlun a reply.

"If the mainland can accept the addition of a Hong Kong host in the Spring Festival Gala. I could convince TVB to broadcast the party on Chinese New Year's Eve. Lin Youlun added another chip to it.

Huang Licheng knows what it means for Hong Kong TV to broadcast the Spring Festival Gala simultaneously. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he replied, "I'll try my best." ”

"Then I'll wait for President Huang's good news."

Putting down the phone, Lin Youlun thought about it for a while, then picked up the microphone again and dialed out a call.

"Mr. He, you have already received the invitation, right? Yes, I will go tomorrow, but it is better to go then, because I have some things I want to discuss with Mr. He on the way. ”

Lin Youlun opened his mouth to invite. He Guanchang naturally had no reason to refuse, but he couldn't figure it out, what did Lin Youlun want to say to him?

——

Under the cover of night, the two sedans drove back and forth.

The car in front was He Guanchang's car, but at the moment only one driver was seen in the car, and He Guanchang himself was sitting in the back car with Lin Youlun.

Lin Youlun asked He Guanchang for an interview, but chose such a not very formal occasion, He Guanchang has been thinking about this question since he got into Lin Youlun's car, but unfortunately when the two started talking, He Guanchang did not come up with a reasonable answer.

"It's not a big deal to find Mr. He out this time. I just want to ask Aaron what arrangements he has for this year's Spring Festival, if he is free. I want him to go with me to the mainland. ”

"Mr. Lin wants Ah Long to attend the Spring Festival Gala in the mainland?" When He Guanchangfu heard the news, he didn't turn around at all, what could Cheng Long do in the Spring Festival Gala on the mainland?

Seeing that Lin Youlun's expression didn't look like he was joking, He Guanchang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Lin Youlun wanted Cheng Long to perform martial arts on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala?

As soon as this idea popped up, He Guanchang immediately vetoed it. There is no shortage of this on the mainland, Cheng Long is good at making action movies, but stage performance is not his forte.

"I want Aaron to sing."

Hearing this answer from Lin Youlun's mouth, He Guanchang almost stared out his eyes.

Lin Youlun looked calm, shrugged and explained: "Mr. He doesn't have to look at me like this, I know that Ah Long's singing level is very average, but this time he asked him to sing at the mainland Spring Festival Gala, what he valued was not his singing level, but his fame." ”

He Guanchang was confused for a long time, and at this time he finally came back to his senses, and Lin Youlun named Cheng Long to go to the mainland Spring Festival Gala, focusing on the symbolic meaning rather than the actual performance effect.

"Is that what the mainland mean?" He Guanchang asked tentatively.

Lin Youlun shook his head, "At present, this is just my personal thoughts. ”

He Guanchang breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Youlun did not directly talk to Cheng Long about this matter, and the meaning revealed in his words was not very sure, which means that there is still room for negotiation in this matter.

"Why did Mr. Lin choose Ah Long?"

"Because Aaron is now the only Hong Kong actor who has opened up the situation in Hollywood, and the mainland has also introduced several movies starring him in recent years, and he is also well-known in the mainland." Lin Youlun paused for a moment and continued: "Hong Kong has not officially returned to the motherland, and even after the return, the ideological gap with the mainland is a big problem. The annual Spring Festival Gala is the most watched TV program in the mainland, and the movie image starring Ah Long is relatively positive, and there will not be too many scruples on the mainland, and the audience is more likely to accept it. Except for Ah Long, other male artists in Hong Kong are not suitable. ”

"Mr. Lin hopes that Aaron can go?" He Guanchang asked curiously.

"It's a great opportunity." Lin Youlun nodded, "Although Aaron's career is now focused on Hollywood, has Mr. He ever thought that he would be popular in Hollywood for a few years?" ”

"Mr. Lin should have more say on this issue than I do." He Guanchang is not polite to say this, Cheng Long can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, and it has a lot to do with the several movies that Lin Youlun specially created for him.

"It's already good to be able to maintain the peak state for 3 to 4 years, Hollywood has always been a place that likes the new and hates the old, and when the American audience's interest in Aaron passes, Aaron's development in the United States will almost come to an end."

Lin Youlun recounted his views in a flat tone, but He Guanchang slowly frowned, he didn't doubt Lin Youlun's words, he was just worried about Cheng Long's future.

"After that, what does Mr. Lin think Ah Long should do?"

"Then it's up to Aaron to make a choice, if it's me, after breaking out of the world in Hollywood and becoming famous, I will retreat bravely, leaving some aftertaste, it's better than letting the audience get completely bored. Put the focus of your career back to Hong Kong, and occasionally cooperate with Hollywood in the future, or star in some excellent Hong Kong movies, and hit the Hollywood market...... No matter how hard Aaron tries to jump out of the limitations of Hong Kong films, he always bears the brand of Hong Kong films, Hong Kong films are prosperous, and he can also have a better development. If we take a long-term view, not to mention Ah Long, even the entire Hong Kong film, in the future, we can only rely on the mainland market to achieve better development, we can't hold on to Buddha feet temporarily, right? ”

Lin Youlun told He Guanchang these words, which was more effective than saying them to Cheng Long in person, because He Guanchang was Cheng Long's father-in-law, and Cheng Long would be more willing to believe He Guanchang from the bottom of his heart.

He Guanchang didn't know why Lin Youlun would have such confidence in the mainland market, but he was willing to believe Lin Youlun's judgment.

When the mainland market did not see much prospects, Lin Youlun began to actively prepare, and the plan must be not small, Lin Youlun has spent great efforts to promote film exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong over the years, obviously in advance for the future to enter the mainland market.

Hong Kong is about to return in six years, and being able to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala at this time is indeed a good opportunity for Cheng Long, even if the future film market situation is not as judged by Lin Youlun, it is also a good choice to take a good relationship with the mainland at this time.

"Okay, I've agreed to this for Aaron." He Guanchang nodded, and then asked again: "Mr. Lin has thought about what song Ah Long will sing at that time?" ”

Lin Youlun's assistant Ajie turned his head from the passenger seat and handed He Guanchang a song sheet.

"This is a song I got from Taiwanese musician Li Zongsheng, it is not difficult to sing, and I can take it out after practicing a few times." Lin Youlun explained on the side.

He Guanchang took over the song score, and the first line in his eyes was the name of the song: "Clearly Confess My Heart"

Looking down, the first question quickly popped up in He Guanchang's heart.

"It's a chorus song?"

Lin Youlun nodded, "Male and female duet." ”

"With whom?" He Guanchang subconsciously asked.

Lin Youlun didn't speak, and it was Lin Youlun's assistant Ajie who answered He Guanchang.

"This song was specially written by Li Zongsheng for Miss Zhou, and the original plan was to release it in Miss Zhou's new album, but this time the situation is more special, so Miss Zhou took out this song."

The only person who can make Applejack call Miss Zhou is naturally Zhou Comina.

Zhou Comin also participated in this mainland Spring Festival Gala together? He Guanchang turned his head to look at Lin Youlun, but he didn't expect that there was more unexpected news waiting for him.

"Xiao Min will not only sing on stage with Aaron this time, but also serve as the host of the party."

In 1984, Zhang Mingmin used the song "My Chinese Heart" to set a precedent for Hong Kong stars to appear on stage at the Spring Festival Gala, and now Zhou Comin will create a new record and become the first Hong Kong host to land on the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhou Yimin is not the most famous female singer in Hong Kong, but because of her special relationship with Lin Youlun, she has become the most suitable candidate, which is why He Guanchang will not doubt it. (To be continued......)
