On the morning of this day, the door of Ni Zhen's office was about to be knocked apart by reporters, and he really had no choice but to tell the security guards downstairs that all the media would not be there.

"Ask me what I think, I look at your mother!"

As soon as the secretary pushed the door open, a folder smashed out of it, grazing the top of her head and flying overhead.

A few minutes ago, Ni Yu just finished answering a phone call, directly unplugged the phone line, and then flew into a rage in the room, he had already smashed a lot of things in the office, and the folder he threw out just now was just a trivial matter.

It is hard for the secretary to imagine that Ni Yu, who is usually gentle and elegant, would have such a violent side, his eyes were blood-red, his violent thunder was like thunder, and his face was hideous and terrifying, as if he had changed a person.

"What's the matter?" Ni Zhen held a fire in his heart, and it was not pleasing to anyone.

"Mr. Ni, your father called me and said that your office couldn't get through, and he asked you to go home immediately." The secretary replied tremblingly.

Ni Zhen waved his hand, "I know." ”

The secretary closed the door and left, Ni Zhen sat on the sofa dejectedly, his face was like a layer of white ash, dead and white, he never thought that Lin Youlun would actually fight back in such a way, and then he didn't give him any room to parry at all.

The dark curtain of disappointment clouded Ni Yu's heart, and he knew that this time, his father would definitely be very disappointed in him.

——

Ni Yu put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but there was no happy expression on his face.

The call was from Jin Yong, and he told Ni Yu that he had already talked to Lin Youlun. The other party promised not to continue to embarrass Ni Zhen this time. But there is no next time.

Ni Yu knew it in his heart. This statement that there is no next time is not only Lin Youlun's attitude, but also Jin Yong's attitude.

For the sake of his son, even if Ni Yu was reluctant in his heart, he could only show his old face and ask Jin Yong for help, but he couldn't figure out what Lin Youlun was doing in such an unexpected way every time.

Ni Yu couldn't think of things that Cheng Long, who was sitting in the back seat of the car with He Guanchang, also had similar doubts in his heart. It's just that what I don't understand is why Lin Youlun would choose Yuan Di for Lu.

Yuan Di has recently participated in several co-productions between Hong Kong and Japan, and he is indeed popular in Japan, but his acting career is not as wide as his own, which is also an indisputable fact, He Guanchang said that Yuan Di will become his biggest enemy, Cheng Long is a little unbelievable.

I have been preparing for so many years to enter Hollywood, is it not as good as Yuan Di's obscure hard work? There are so many actors in Hong Kong, only he has been invited by a Hollywood film company, which is where Cheng Long's confidence lies.

"Have you forgotten who helped you open the doors of the Hollywood market in the first place?"

He Guanchang only said this. Cheng Long frowned.

No matter how much Cheng Long doesn't want to admit it, the movie he starred in can successfully break into Hollywood. It is absolutely impossible to avoid the two movies "Red Fan District" and "Die Hard", the former is a stepping stone, the latter is the cornerstone, both are indispensable, and the screenwriters and producers of these two movies are written by Lin Youlun's name.

"There's something I haven't told you all along, I didn't want to distract you, but now I think it's really necessary for you to know. Four years ago, me, Mr. Zou and Lin Youlun had a discussion on how Hong Kong films can go to the international market in this car. At that time, Lin Youlun had just used the scripts of two "Home Alone" and a gambling contract to earn 2000 million Hong Kong dollars from Golden Harvest. At that time, Mr. Zou and I both thought that he would be a difficult character, but we didn't expect him to rise so fast, and he left everyone behind in just a few years. ”

Recalling the past four years ago, He Guanchang sighed for a while and deviated a little from the topic, but soon he realized this, and then pulled the topic back.

At that time, Lin Youlun asserted that it was not a long-term solution to break into the international market with action movies, so you can also see that he is now choosing a different path, and it turns out that his idea is right. Foreigners have always only regarded kung fu movies as a novelty, and when they are curious, they will still only return to their original preferences, which is why kung fu movies can sell well in North America, but there is no way to enter the mainstream movies. ”

"Of course, I'm not telling you this to discourage you, at least you're doing well in Hollywood right now, but if you want to be better, you can't do it by jumping higher buildings and doing more thrilling moves, you have to use your brains. At first, I didn't know what to do, but some time ago, "Myth" became popular with Li Yuanba, and I realized that the combination of 'kung fu + special effects' can be so popular overseas, or this is the type of movie that can arouse the interest of foreign audiences instead of curiosity. Then just when I was about to suggest that you try this type of movie, Lin Youlun chose Yuan Xuan. ”

"You only have to look at how much talk about this novel has been in the newspapers lately, and I want to tell you that if you look at how popular the Indiana Jones series of movies is in North America, you should be able to imagine how much potential 'Ghost Blows the Lantern' will have to be made into a movie, with all the elements of an adventure film, and at the same time satisfy the curiosity of Western audiences about the Oriental world, which is completely an oriental version." Indiana Jones' series, maybe it only takes one or two such movies to make Yuan Tong more popular in North America than you. ”

The more Cheng Long listened, the more frightened he became, in front of He Guanchang, he wouldn't say anything about Yuan Di being his junior brother, he succeeded, and his face as a senior brother also had such a scene as a light.

At this moment, Cheng Long had already urgently realized that Yuan Zhengzheng had become an opponent who could threaten him. And all this is just that Yuan Di took over a movie of Lin Youlun.

He Guanchang didn't say anything more, he felt that Cheng Long already knew what kind of mentality and performance he should use next to participate in the launch conference of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

——

Cheng Long regretted it very much in his heart, if he had seriously had a good relationship with Lin Youlun, maybe he would be one of the people who stood on the stage to worship God and cut the pig's head at this time.

looked at the bright smiles of Yuan Di and Hong Jinbao on the stage. Cheng Long couldn't be cheerful as if there was a piece of lead pressing down in his heart.

also sat in the audience as a guest of honor. Xu Ke's mood was also quite uncalm.

It was different from when Cheng Long's eyes were always staring at Yuan Di and Hong Jinbao. Xu Ke's eyes were fixed on one person from beginning to end, this person was Wang Jing who stood in the middle of everyone on the stage and smiled the most.

Xu Ke has little contact with Wang Jing, and he has always looked down on this person.

Xu Ke felt that Wang Jing was nothing more than having a good father, and then with good luck, he first met Lin Youlun and became friends, and he had his current status and fame.

For Xu Ke, who has achieved such an achievement today after several setbacks, people like Wang Jing. and himself are not all the way at all.

If you compare movies to cooking, Wang Jing is a guy who makes fast food, what kind of movies have low cost and quick money, he will make what kind of movies. For Wang Jing, who is accustomed to creating superficial comedy films, the deep-level connotation expression may be unwilling to do it, or Director Wang Da, who is used to making vulgar bubble comedies, gave up after careful calculation, but no matter what the reason, it is the object of Xu Ke's contempt.

But sometimes you have to admit that luck is also a strength.

Although Wang Jing can only see money in his eyes when making movies, this guy is one of the few people in Hong Kong who can hook up with Lin Youlun in public and joke unscrupulously. This is what Xu Ke envies the most.

Of course, envy is envy, Xu Kezhi knows that he has the same opportunity as Wang Jing. It is impossible to get along so well with Lin Youlun like Wang Jing.

Wang Jing only makes movies for money, so his artistic pursuit and personal style are all floating clouds for him, take them when he needs them, and throw them into the corner like garbage when he doesn't need them, such a person will never have a disagreement with Lin Youlun on the issue of "how to make a movie", and then the two have the same interests and goals, and it is difficult to think about each other.

When he thought of this, Xu Ke couldn't help but glance at Wu Yusen, who was sitting in the first row but several seats apart, the two of them used to be very close friends, but now they are like passers-by.

The relationship between Xu Ke and Wu Yusen will come to this point, in the final analysis, because they can't be like Lin Youlun and Wang Jing, one side is strong, and the other party unconditionally compromises and accepts. Both of them have too many ideas about movies, and once the ideas of both sides are not compatible with each other, cracks will inevitably arise, so the result now is actually doomed from the moment the two met.

In addition to the end of the friendship between Feeling and Wu Yusen, Xu Ke also has another regret in his heart, that is, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was written after "Zhu Xian". If the order of these two novels is reversed, Xu Ke is fully sure that he can persuade Lin Youlun to hand over this movie to himself, he is very interested in this kind of adventure theme, and more importantly, Lin Youlun's support for this movie, which cannot be compared with "Zhu Xian".

"Director Xu seems to have something on his mind?"

Sitting next to Xu Ke is Li Lianjie, in the early years Xu Ke filmed "Huang Feihong", he once crossed the ocean to find Li Lianjie, although the cooperation was not negotiated, but the two have known each other since then, especially on an occasion like this, they can be regarded as the kind of person who can sit together and chat a few words.

Seeing Xu Ke's stunned appearance, Li Lianjie was also reminded of the past.

At the beginning, he refused Xu Ke to star in "Once Upon a Time", which may have been the most wrong decision he made in his life, because of this mistake, he had a strong opponent in Hong Kong.

Li Lianjie also learned later that Xu Ke's ideal Huang Feihong played him, but because of his hesitation, Zhao Wenzhuo, who was recommended by Lin Youlun, seized the opportunity.

From Zhao Wenzhuo to Lin Youlun, and then Li Lianjie will involuntarily think of Cai Zhiming who was shot dead 2 years ago, although the Hong Kong police have closed the coffin and concluded that Cai Zhiming died in the dark. helped vendetta, but Li Lianjie still couldn't let go.

Therefore, for Lin Youlun, Li Lianjie's perception is very complicated, and the reason why he appeared at the launch conference of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" today is for a reason.

This is exactly what Xu Ke is curious about.

"Director Chen Jiashang and I want to collaborate on a movie, and he asked me to come over today." Li Lianjie took the initiative to explain.

Xu Ke glanced at Chen Jia, who was sitting next to Li Lianjie, and suddenly understood in his heart.

Among the guests present at the launch conference of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", only a few people were invited by Lin Youlun like themselves, and the rest were invited by Hong Jinbao, and Chen Jiashang was one of them.

Chen Jiashang became a director only after being promoted by Hong Jinbao, and the first movie he directed was "Lin Sheng and Mrs. Lin" starring Lin Youlun and Li Zhi, the hero and heroine of this movie were Liang Chaowei and Yang Ziqiong at the beginning, and Yang Ziqiong was still learning kung fu with Hong Jinbao at that time.

Hong Jinbao withdrew from Debao, and Chen Jiashang also left with him, but he did not join Hong Jinbao's Baohe Film Company, nor did he set up his own company, but has been cooperating with other film companies as an independent director, otherwise Li Lianjie's Zhengdong Film Company would not have asked him to cooperate this time.

Chen Jiashang's works are not many, but every movie he makes is a box office hit, especially he has also made two movies by Lin Youlun, which is also an experience that only a very few directors have in the Hong Kong film industry, so Xu Ke is very curious to know what kind of movie Chen Jiashang is cooperating with Li Lianjie this time.

Xu Ke just asked Li Lianjie with the attitude of trying it out, and Li Lianjie actually had the idea of befriending Xu Ke, so he told him bluntly.

"Director Chen and I are preparing to remake Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen", and this movie is still in preparation, so be sure to ask Director Xu to help keep it secret."

Hearing that Chen Jiashang and Li Lianjie were going to remake Bruce Lee's classic movie, Xu Ke was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then said casually: "This is not easy." ”

Bruce Lee has been dead for so many years, and the Hong Kong film industry is constantly trying to discover a kung fu star who can replace him, but it has not succeeded. Director Luo Wei tried to praise Cheng Long to replace Bruce Lee, but he was scolded by the audience later, Cheng Long was hit by this, and almost changed careers to Australia to be a chef, and now although he has made a lot of fame in Hollywood, he dare not say that he has surpassed Bruce Lee.

Li Lianjie is better than Cheng Long back then in terms of appearance and martial arts foundation, but if he wants to challenge Bruce Lee's classic works, the possibility of success is not very great, so Xu Ke will have such a reaction. (To be continued......)
