"I heard you've started inviting guests for the premiere?"

Zhou Yimin pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, but just squeezed the big brother in his hand hard.

"I said hello to Xingzai, and at the premiere of "Untouchable Lovers", he will go to cheer." Lin Youlun could probably guess Zhou Comin's thoughts at the moment, so he just said lightly.

Zhou Yimin's heart warmed, and he was about to speak, but Lin Youlun took the lead.

"Let's not talk about it yet, I'll call you later when I'm home."

Zhou Comin said goodbye to Lin Youlun on the phone, and then took the initiative to hang up the phone, this is a tacit understanding between her and Lin Youlun on the phone, if she doesn't hang up the phone, Lin Youlun will always wait on the other end of the phone.

When there was a busy sound in the microphone, Lin Youlun happened to walk to the door of the house, he changed his shoes in the foyer, and handed his coat to the nanny Wu Ma who was waiting on the side.

The meal had already been put on the table, and Chen Huiqing had already begun to take the bowl and prepare to serve the meal to Lin Youlun, but when Lin Youlun walked in, he pointed to the eldest brother he was holding in his hand and signaled that he would make a phone call.

"Hurry up, or the food will be cold later."

Before Lin Youlun went upstairs, Chen Huiqing did not forget to instruct.

When he came to the upstairs study, Lin Youlun dialed Wang Guxian's number.

Wang Guxian's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm having dinner at Sister Zhi's house, well, do you want to talk to her?" ”

Lin Youlun really wanted to say a few words to Zhao Yazhi, because since the last incident, the two had not been in touch for a long time, and they always felt that they had to give Zhao Yazhi an explanation.

However, in front of Wang Guxian, Lin Youlun didn't dare to talk to Zhao Yazhi on the phone. I can only say humbly: "Forget it." Next time. ”

Zhao Yazhi, who was sitting opposite Wang Guxian, sighed unconsciously. Pushed away the chair and stood up, and went to the kitchen to see if the coffee was ready.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, Zhao Yazhi leaned against the door, not knowing what to do. After guessing from Wang Guxian's tone and expression when he answered the phone, that the call was from Lin Youlun, her whole person fell into a state of mind of suffering from gains and losses, this feeling is like a little snake, lurking in her heart and not knowing where it is. Usually she didn't feel it, but at this time it suddenly stirred up, like a pebble falling into a calm lake, and immediately disturbed her whole thoughts.

finally calmed down, and when he returned to the dining table, Wang Guxian had already finished talking to Lin Youlun on the phone.

Before Zhao Yazhi could ask, Wang Guxian took the initiative to tell her the purpose of Lin Youlun's call.

"This guy finally knows how to care about people, so he called me and asked me who the guests at the premiere had invited, and if he wanted him to help me find some more. And then I refused! Wang Guxian couldn't help but feel a little proud when he said this, "I just thought of helping others now." What did you do before? ”

When Zhao Yazhi heard this, her brows frowned slightly, her mind was more delicate than Wang Guxian, and she always felt that Lin Youlun didn't call Wang Guxian before, but at this time, she suddenly called, maybe she had another purpose.

According to Lin Youlun's original intention, he just wanted the results of this "competition" between Zhou Yimin and Wang Guxian not to be too different, after all, Zhou Comin's connections in the entertainment industry are slightly weaker than Wang Guxian, so Lin Youlun arranged Zhou Xingchi to help Zhou Comin.

But since then, Lin Youlun was worried that the guest lineup on Wang Guxian's side would be overtaken, so he called Wang Guxian, and then as soon as he heard that Wang Guxian had invited Zhou Yanfa here, he knew that his worries were superfluous.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Youlun went downstairs to have dinner with his mother, during which his assistant Ajie made a phone call, saying that Deng Guangrong, the owner of the "Shadow Jie" film company, wanted to visit.

Lin Youlun wondered at first why Deng Guangrong came to him at this time, but after that, Ajie reminded him that a movie invested by Deng Guangrong was about to be released in the near future, and this movie has recently attracted a lot of attention in the media, because this movie is a rare big cast in Hong Kong films in recent years.

Zhang Yurong, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Liu Jialing...... This list of leading actors is listed, and the Hong Kong media hype this movie as a major event in the Hong Kong film industry without thinking.

In this era, the box office appeal of stars is obvious, Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingchi, and Cheng Long are collectively called "Double Week Cheng", because the three of them are the three actors with the most box office guarantee in Hong Kong.

In this movie invested by Deng Guangrong, several leading actors may not be able to compare with "Double Week" alone, but the combined box office appeal should not be underestimated.

The only thing that makes people a little worried is that the director of this movie is Wang Jiawei, and now except for Lin Youlun, everyone's impression of Wang Jiawei is still stuck in "Carmen Mong Kok", and he can win awards and have box office guarantees, no wonder Deng Guangrong is willing to put most of his belongings on this new film.

In this "The True Story of A Fei", Wang Jiawei has been filming for almost two years, and has shot a total of 600,000 feet of film, which is equivalent to the length of three or four ordinary films.

Before the movie was released, Deng Guangrong was more nervous than anyone else, so he had the idea of visiting Lin Youlun, firstly, to get more screenings for this movie, and secondly, to hear Lin Youlun's evaluation of this movie.

When Deng Guangrong came, he brought a lot of gifts, and after the nanny Wu's mother accepted it, she led him to Lin Youlun's study.

Lin Youlun was watching the sample film of "The True Story of A Fei", and after Deng Guangrong came, he beckoned him to sit down and watch it together.

After this film was cut, Deng Guangrong watched it once, and he saw it in a fog at the time, but he couldn't stand Wang Jiawei's mouth that was very good at fooling people, he patted his chest and assured Deng Guangrong that "The True Story of A Fei" is definitely better than "Carmen Mong Kok".

When "Carmen Mong Kok" was not yet released, Deng Guangrong thought that this movie would definitely lose money if it was filmed like this, but he didn't expect the result to be much beyond his expectations, so this time he chose to believe Wang Jiawei.

I watched it again with Lin Youlun, Deng Guangrong still didn't understand this movie, and when watching the movie, he kept secretly paying attention to the changes in the expression on Lin Youlun's face, but from beginning to end, the expression on Lin Youlun's face didn't change much.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were focused but a little tangled.

After the film ended, Lin Youlun continued to maintain such an expression, but Deng Guangrong couldn't sit still.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this movie?"

Lin Youlun picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, turned his head to look at Deng Guangrong and asked, "Does Mr. Deng want to hear the truth?" ”

Deng Guangrong nodded.

"One word, boring!"

Lin Youlun's answer was very brief, but it made Deng Guangrong very entangled, is this evaluation good or bad?

"I'm a person who values commercial movies more, so I don't understand the movies, maybe in the eyes of the judges, it's a different evaluation, this movie can catch up with next year's Academy Awards, and it should be able to make a difference by then, but it's ......"

As soon as Lin Youlun's tone changed, Deng Guangrong suddenly had a premonition that it was not good.

Sure enough, Lin Youlun's next words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, making Deng Guangrong cold from head to toe.

"The commercial value of this movie, if the passing score is 60, I will give it 20 points at most, which is still aimed at so many starring stars in the film. Here I don't evaluate their performance in this movie, just talk about my own perception, Zhang Yurong is lazy and decadent to death, Liu Dehua is also in his pocket, and the popular idol doesn't even look like an idol, which makes those viewers who buy tickets for the names of the two people embarrassed? ”

Lin Youlun ignored Deng Guangrong's already somewhat ugly face, and continued: "I heard that the total investment of this movie is 40 million, but after watching the whole movie, I don't know where the money is spent. Say it's a shootout movie, is there a total of one shot or two shots fired in the film? Say it's an action movie, and the action scene is played for 10 seconds or 20 seconds? All I see is a few people there saying something that is incomprehensible and doing something inexplicable, will such a moviegoer approve of it? I find it difficult. ”

Deng Guangrong's head drooped straight down like frosted eggplant leaves, and his face was covered with a layer of dark clouds.

Lin Youlun said this, which is equivalent to directly pronouncing the death sentence to "The True Story of A Fei", if someone else says this, Deng Guangrong may refute two sentences, but Lin Youlun's judgment of the box office of the movie has always been very accurate, which is recognized by the industry.

What's even worse is that Lin Youlun's attitude towards "The True Story of A Fei" is very likely to affect Jiayi Cinema's entire film scheduling plan for "The True Story of A Fei", and the box office prospects of the film are not optimistic, and if the scale and number of screenings are reduced, it will be even worse.

Most of Deng Guangrong's hard-earned net worth over the years is pressed on this movie, and there is naturally a trace of luck in his heart.

"Mr. Lin, Wang Jiawei's movies are all in this style, and "Carmen Mong Kok" is also a little incomprehensible, but the box office results are still good."

Of course, Lin Youlun could hear what Deng Guangrong was tactfully hinting at, he sighed slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic when he looked at Deng Guangrong's eyes.

No one knows better than Lin Youlun how big a pit "The True Story of A Fei" is, and Wang Jiawei is the "king of pit kings" in the Hong Kong film industry, he has always only dug pits and buried them, Deng Guangrong unfortunately became the first person to fall into the pit.

"Mr. Deng rest assured that "The True Story of A Fei" can be released according to the 4000 investment specification of the film, but Jiayi's rules do not need me to say more, the film will definitely increase the number of screenings, but if the box office performance of the film is not satisfactory, there is no discussion about reducing the scale and number of screenings...... I just want to seriously advise Mr. Deng, no matter what the box office result of the film is, please take care of yourself! ”

In my memory, Deng Guangrong was so angry at the box office of "The True Story of A Fei" that he fell ill and was hospitalized, and Ying Zhijie Film Company was also dragged down by this film and declared bankruptcy, so Lin Youlun said this.

Although "The True Story of A Fei" has not yet been released, in Lin Youlun's opinion, there is no suspense in the ending! (To be continued......)
