Lin Youlun put down the newspaper in his hand and stared at Wang Jing a few times.

"Who's that woman?"

Wang Jing, as the director of this movie, will not say anything if he arranges one or two people into the crew, but if he randomly arranges some actors with bad reviews to come in, it will be another matter.

Wang Jing gagged his mouth with his hand and smiled at Lin Youlun flatteringly, but unfortunately Lin Youlun didn't eat him.

In desperation, Wang Jing had no choice but to put his hand down.

"Okay, I say!"

Since the implementation of the film classification system in Hong Kong, tertiary films have become the first choice for film companies to make quick money because of their low cost and short shooting cycle, and at the same time, many actors have seen the hope of becoming famous.

Ye Yuqing, who first tried to take the route of a star, "became famous", in 1991 alone, she took over the filming of "Can't Help It", "The Beauty", and "I'm Crazy for Qing", three tertiary films, and her bold and exposed performances made these three ordinary quality movies each gain nearly 10 million box office.

When promoting the reform of the Hong Kong film classification system, Lin Youlun was worried about the proliferation of tertiary films, so he made a special provision that from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., the theater would not arrange a screening venue for tertiary films.

The third-level film is limited in screening time, and the audience under the age of 18 is excluded, and it is already a very good result for a film to get nearly 10 million box office.

The success of the three movies "Qingqing" not only made Ye Yuqing a news figure who talked about it on the streets that year, but also made her salary worth among the first-line stars.

After becoming famous, Ye Yuqing was very smart to stop, although she continued to make some movies with salty and wet ingredients. But more is to participate in the performance of some genre films and literary films. The career gradually stabilized.

Many actresses refuse to accept tertiary films. is all because they are worried that once they make a tertiary film, it will be difficult to turn back in the future, Ye Yuqing's success, many actresses have begun to put aside their worries and "go to the sea" to shoot a tertiary film.

It was at this time that Li Lizhen entered Wang Jing's sight.

Li Lizhen debuted as early as 1983 and quickly became a popular "student lover" at the time with films such as "Happy Ghost", but after the 90s. Li Lizhen felt that the youth meal would not last long, so she wanted to seek transformation.

Wang Jing came to the door at this time and invited Li Lizhen to make a third-level film. At first, Li Lizhen still had a lot of concerns about making a tertiary film, but she couldn't stand Wang Jing's persuasion with Ye Yuqing, and finally made up her mind to get out of her position.

For the sake of insurance, Li Lizhen and Wang Jing agreed on three chapters, she helped Wang Jing make two third-level films, and Wang Jing helped her transform. After Wang Jing agreed, she officially starred in the tertiary film produced by Wang Jing and tailored for her.

In the film, although Li Lizhen is exposed at three o'clock, there is very little salty and wet meat. Desire. The natural and generous performance has a fresh and healthy atmosphere, which is unique among many tertiary films. It caused a sensation immediately after its release, and the box office of the film reached 12 million. Wang Jing worked hard and asked Li Lizhen to shoot another tertiary film, which also received nearly 10 million box office after its release.

The two tertiary films were very popular, which made many filmmakers scramble to find Li Lizhen to make tertiary films, but Li Lizhen publicly announced that she would no longer take on tertiary films, and shifted her career focus from film and television to singing.

In Li Lizhen's heart, she has always remembered Wang Jing's original promise.

"I finally know what it means to be a favor, every time the media comes out that I am ready to start filming a new film, she will call me and ask me to arrange a role for her, I want to fool her casually, I originally wanted to use the method of procrastination to let her give up by herself, but I really underestimated this woman's determination, she didn't know what channel Lu Dao became good friends with Ah Yun, and from time to time the two of them made an appointment to play cards together, and then told Ah Yun the promise I made when I was looking for her to film, Now my wife hears it in my ear every night, and I'm almost annoyed to death. ”

Wang Jing vomited a lot of bitterness in front of Lin Youlun, but Lin Youlun did not sympathize with Wang Jing at all.

"Who told you to make promises to others in the first place?"

"I paid her 1.15 million for each of those two movies, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, right? If it were another actress, hundreds of thousands of dollars would be enough, but no one in Hong Kong has ever received a higher salary than this! ”

Wang Jing looked aggrieved.

Lin Youlun snorted lightly, and continued to pick up the newspaper in his hand and read it, Wang Jing's little abacus could be hidden from others, and he could be deceived by him.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me, I don't know what kind of person you are? At the beginning, you gave Li Lizhen such a high salary, just to deliberately raise her value, if the movie is very popular, naturally someone will offer a higher price to find Li Lizhen to make a third-level film, and then Li Lizhen will not be able to resist the temptation of high salary. Confused, she has helped others make tertiary films, you can use her to get involved in tertiary films too deeply, and no longer fulfill the original promise to help her transform. ”

Such a deep hidden mind can be exposed by Lin Youlun in person, and Wang Jing can't help but feel a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he is.

Wang Jing spread his hands, "Okay, I admit that I did play a little clever at the time, but I really didn't expect that woman's attitude to be so resolute, and now I really can't help it." ”

Lin Youlun wanted to read the newspaper for a while, but when Wang Jing kept talking in his ear, he was really annoyed, so he put down the newspaper and asked: "The remaining role in "City Hunter" is just a supporting role with few scenes, are you sure you can satisfy Li Lizhen?" ”

"What kind of movie do the supporting roles play, the supporting roles in the movie "City Hunter" are more sought-after than the protagonists in ordinary movies, no, the two of us can make a bet, the remaining Kimura, and the role of the dealer based on Ye Han, will definitely be robbed by many people, as long as you go back to Hong Kong, someone will come to you to tell you about it, if not, I will jump off this plane immediately."

Lin Youlun didn't take Wang Jing's words to heart at first, but after returning to Hong Kong, he found that Wang Jing was really a crow's mouth, saying what he said.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhong Chuhong put her daughter to sleep, handed it over to the nanny and carried her back to the room, and found Lin Youlun talking to herself over there after answering a few phone calls.

"On the plane back, I made a bet with Wang Jing and was won by this guy." Lin Youlun put down the phone, pulled Zhong Chuhong over, and hugged her from behind.

"You don't have to hurt him like that, do you?" Zhong Chuhong leaned on Lin Youlun's arms and said softly.

Lin Youlun shrugged, "He's so thick-skinned, it's okay if he knows it." ”

Zhong Chuhong glanced at Lin Youlun with disgust, "They are already fathers, and they are still so undisciplined, my daughter will start remembering immediately, but I can't let you teach her badly!" ”

Zhong Chuhong carried her daughter out, and Lin Youlun suddenly had nothing to say.

"Okay, I listen to you, I will be a good father in the future!"

"That's pretty much it." Zhong Chuhong broke free from Lin Youlun's arms, and her daughter was out of her sight for less than a few minutes, so she was a little uneasy and wanted to go back to her room to take care of her.

Before leaving, Zhong Chuhong suddenly remembered another thing.

"By the way, today I invited Fa Ge and his wife to have dinner at home, if you don't have other arrangements in the evening, you can also stay and eat together?"

Lin Youlun nodded, it just so happened that he hadn't seen Zhou Runfa for a long time, and he didn't know what happened to Zhou Runfa recently.

——

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yunfa and his wife Chen Huilian brought a bottle of treasured red wine as a gift and were invited.

Chen Huilian was busy making Xiaohonghong happy, Zhong Chuhong was taking care of it, Lin Youlun and Zhou Yanfa went to the balcony to smoke together, and chatted by the way.

"Brother Fa, if I'm not mistaken, your "Judge of the Dead" should be released the day after tomorrow, right?"

Zhou Yunfa nodded, "It's the first time to act in this kind of costume comedy, to be honest, I'm still a little worried." ”

Lin Youlun asked with a smile: "Didn't you think it was fun to act in comedy before?" There shouldn't be any problems this time, right? ”

"There are some ideas for playing, but I also want to broaden the way of acting, you know that comedy is the most popular now, since Wu Yusen went to Hollywood to develop, Hong Kong's Jianghu films are almost out of market."

Zhou Yan found that the situation was a little embarrassing, he was not up to age, and he was obviously no longer as handsome as young actors such as Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei who had a market in the audience, and he was not as popular as Zhou Xingchi when he changed the comedy route, although he still has the highest salary among Hong Kong film actors, and he is also the most box office attractive actor in Hong Kong, but he has felt more and more pressure.

Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi's movies are one after another, but Zhou Runfa began to slowly reduce the number of films, and it is precisely because of this.

Sensing that Zhou Yanfa's tone was a little pessimistic, Lin Youlun glanced at him in surprise.

This is not the high-spirited Zhou Runfa he knew before.

"You used to tell me that Hollywood is not suitable for me, I don't believe it, I went there some time ago and found out that your words are really right, except for action actors, it is really difficult for Chinese actors to gain a foothold there."

Zhou Runfa explained this, and Lin Youlun realized that Zhou Runfa went to Hollywood and ran into a wall, so he was so disheartened.

"So, Brother Fa, you haven't taken on any other dramas recently?"

Zhou Yunfa nodded, just when Lin Youlun asked casually, he didn't mean anything else, but this time he really thought wrong.

"I'm going to make a movie recently, and the second actor hasn't been decided yet, how about it, are you interested in having fun together?"

The cigarette in Zhou Yanfa's hand fell to the ground without paying attention, he lit it again, and then asked curiously: "Is that the play in which you starred in it?" ”

Lin Youlun nodded, as soon as he returned to Hong Kong, he received several phone calls, including Jiahe Zou Wenhuai, and Shaw Brothers Fang Yihua, all of whom wanted to stuff people into this movie. But the role is just like that, and it can't be divided at all, and things give Lin Youlun a headache. (To be continued......)
