Chapter 450: Reality and Gap [One Update]
Mr. Lin...... I'm sorry, I was about to go out, I didn't expect you to come in at this time. Zhang Yimou hurriedly explained.
"Director Zhang, this is here to visit Director Chen?" Lin Youlun glanced at the room number on the door and made sure that he had not made a mistake.
"yes, I'm not going back after talking." Zhang Yimou let Lin Youlun into the house, and said as he walked out, "Director Chen is in the house, Mr. Lin, please come in, I won't bother." ”
Lin Youlun stopped Zhang Yimou, "Director Zhang, don't hurry up, I'm here to find the two of you this time, just together." ”
Chen Qige heard the movement at the door and walked out, and saw Zhang Yimou chatting with a young man, calling the other party "Mr. Lin", and immediately confirmed the identity of this young man.
"Hello, Mr. Lin!"
Chen Jige stepped forward quickly, and while shaking hands, he also looked at Lin Youlun seriously for the first time.
Although in the previous conversation, Zhang Yimou particularly emphasized Lin Youlun's youth, but when they actually met, Chen Qige still felt a lot of surprise.
Lin Youlun definitely doesn't look more than 30 years old, he is very well-dressed, and he has a pair of keen and clear eyes; The face is extremely thin, the cheekbones are very high, and the thoughts contained in it are certainly not frugal, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, looking resolute and assertive.
It is hard to imagine that such a young man is the biggest creator of the brilliant achievements of the Hong Kong film industry, the chairman of an influential newspaper group, and the youngest billionaire in Hong Kong.
While Chen Youge was looking at Lin Youlun, Lin Youlun was also observing Chen Youge.
Medium stature with slightly dark skin. The eyebrows are clear but not thick. The eyes are deep and melancholy. Like most people over forty, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and he seemed to look deeper. He had a slightly large nose and mouth, a shaved chin, his hair was very neatly combed, and he wore a white shirt and a silver-gray tie.
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then entered the house together.
Chen picked up the clothes on the bed and threw them back into the suitcase. "There was some chaos in the house, which made Mr. Lin smile."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Youlun sat down and looked at the layout of the room, there were only two soft chairs in the suite, he and Zhang Yimou each sat on one side, and Chen Qige only sat on the edge of the bed, "The two of you have just arrived in Hong Kong, and I have prepared a reception banquet in the evening, before that, I want to invite the two of you to visit a film special effects company under my name, I don't know what Director Chen and Director Zhang want?" ”
Chen Jige and Zhang Yimou glanced at each other. They all saw the surprised expressions in each other's eyes.
Chen Jige received a call from Xu Yan in front of him, and then Lin Youlun appeared. He also thought that Lin Youlun was here to be a lobbyist for Xu Yan this time, but he didn't expect it to be for this.
"I have long heard that the Aurora Company founded by Mr. Lin has the top film special effects production level in Asia and the world, and I can't ask for such an opportunity."
Zhang Yimou was the first to speak, and Chen Qige also nodded.
Lin Youlun nodded, stood up and said, "The car is already downstairs, let's go." ”
——
Located in the heart of downtown Hong Kong, adjacent to the Hung Hom Cross Harbour Tunnel, Aurora stands at the door of the building and looks across the door to see the iconic red main building of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
The headquarters building of Aurora Company looks very imposing in the center of the high-rise city, but there are only two people standing at the door to greet the group, which is in great contrast with the scene of a large group of people waiting at the door in the imagination of Chen Jige and Zhang Yimou.
After being introduced, I learned that the inconspicuous middle-aged man was Lan Naicai, the person in charge of Aurora Company, and the person next to him was his assistant.
"Two directors, I'm very sorry, because Aurora is a technology company focusing on the research and development of film special effects technology, more than 80% of the company's employees are technical personnel, and recently the company has undertaken the special effects production of many movies, and everyone can't leave the work in hand, so I can only come over to entertain the two, please forgive me for the inconsiderateness."
Lan Naicai spoke very politely, Chen Qige and Zhang Yimou nodded in unison, and they were a little more curious about this visit - if this situation was placed in a scientific research institution on the mainland, everyone would have stopped working to accompany the leaders to visit, and the Hong Kong company's style of doing things is indeed different.
Lin Youlun has long been accustomed to this, and it is not that all companies in Hong Kong are like this, mainly because of the nature of Aurora. A large number of returnees and even many Americans and Japanese are serving the company, so the company's management is also based on the model of European and American high-tech companies.
The 1st to 3rd floors of the Aurora Company building are designed as exhibition halls, which are furnished with various models and props left over from the movies where the company was established to participate in the production of special effects - various vampire costumes in "Legend of the Night" and "Blade Warrior", various alien models in "Black Super SWAT Team", martial arts light and shadow design sketches in "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", and tricky masks in "Strange Heroes in Disguise".
It is not without reason that Hong Kong films have swept Asia in the past two years, just looking at these collections of Aurora Company, you can imagine how much manpower, material and financial resources Hong Kong has to pay in order to make a good movie.
After visiting the previous collection, Lan Naicai took a group of people to the studio site of the special effects of several movies being produced, the first one was the special effects production team of "Godzilla", just at this time, the technicians were using the computer to synthesize the picture of Godzilla landing from Tokyo Bay, after seeing the final effect clip, Chen Jige and Zhang Yimou were so surprised that it was difficult to attach.
The movie can be so fake!
Lan Naicai is the chief director of this film, he wanted Chen Jige and Zhang Yimou to introduce more details, in order to make this scene alone, they filmed on the scene in Tokyo Bay for more than half a month, and then spent almost 20 million Hong Kong dollars in order to synthesize the current image of less than 3 minutes.
After hearing this, Chen Jige and Zhang Yimou had only one thought in their hearts, which is making a movie, it is clearly burning money!
"Compared to Hollywood, we don't invest enough in this." Lin Youlun's understatement made Chen Jige and Zhang Yimou couldn't help but fall into contemplation after hearing it.
Later, Lan Naicai took them to visit the special effects production sites of many movies such as "People and Ghosts Are Not Loved" and "Zhu Xian", and everywhere they went, Chen Jige and Zhang Yimou were amazed.
"In the past, we only felt that we were not too far behind the outside, as long as we caught up to make up the gap, but now we suddenly found that the gap between us and the other party can not be used at all, and I am afraid that we can only see a back of the other party after ten years of catching up." After the visit, Chen Qige expressed such feelings to Zhang Yimou in private.
Zhang Yimou sighed lightly: "I didn't have such a deep feeling when I worked with the Hong Kong crew last time, it seems that in the future, our mainland film workers should indeed strengthen exchanges and cooperation with Hong Kong." ”
Chen Qige smiled bitterly and said, "Why did I listen to your words as if you were persuading me? ”
"The real lobbyist is not me, but the ones we've seen before, don't you think?" Zhang Yimou replied.
Chen Qige then fell silent.
——
Lin Youlun accompanied Chen Qige and Zhang Yimou to visit the Aurora Company in the afternoon, and set up a banquet for the two of them in the evening.
came to Zhong Chuhong's residence, but accidentally ran into Zhang Manyu.
"I'll go first, remember to come tomorrow!" Zhang Manyu stood up with her skirt and said goodbye to Zhong Chuhong.
"Zhilu Dao." Zhong Chuhong tacitly winked at Zhang Manyu.
Sending Zhang Manyu to the door, Zhong Chuhong turned around, but crashed into Lin Youlun's arms.
"I hate it!" Zhong Chuhong slapped Lin Youlun's chest with her hand, but let Lin Youlun hold her tightly in his arms.
Lin Youlun grabbed Zhong Chuhong's waist with one hand, held her face with the other, and rubbed it gently.
"What were you two talking about?"
Zhong Chuhong glanced at Lin Youlun quite unexpectedly, "Tomorrow Ah Yu's "Speed of Life and Death" will be released, she asked me to go to the premiere to help her stand on the platform, don't tell me you don't know about it." ”
Lin Youlun shook his head, now his daily itinerary is arranged by the assistant, and the assistant will tell him what activities there are today, and then Lin Youlun will decide whether to go or not. Generally, at the premiere of a movie like this, if there is no special reason, Lin Youlun will usually ask the assistant to help him push it off.
Er Dongsheng also knew this situation, so he asked Zhang Manyu to come to Zhong Chuhong, because he wanted to take the "lady route", because as long as Zhong Chuhong spoke, Lin Youlun would definitely not refuse.
"You're still the screenwriter and investor of this movie, so you don't care about it at all." Zhong Chuhong said angrily.
Lin Youlun motioned for Zhong Chuhong to lean his head on his shoulder, put his arm around her and explained: "The Hong Kong International Film Festival is about to start, and I have a lot of things on my side, so it's normal to forget it." ”
"Then you ...... tomorrow"
Lin Youlun shrugged, "How lonely you are when you go alone, I will take it as if I am going to accompany you!" ”
Zhong Chuhong looked at Lin Youlun with bright eyes, looking at each other, and each could see a flame burning from each other's eyes.
Lin Youlun lowered her head, kissed Zhong Chuhong's delicate red lips with her lips, pressed her body against the wall, grabbed one of her legs with her hand, and poked in from under her skirt.
During the kiss, Zhong Chuhong unbuttoned Lin Youlun's shirt one by one, stretched out a hand, groped to turn off the lights in the room, and the two quickly squeezed together intimately in the dark.
