Chapter 598: The Story of Uncle and Lori

When Lin Youlun and Zhou Xingchi were still chatting in the tea restaurant, Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin had already packed up and were ready to go out.

took the elevator downstairs, and when they came out, a young couple came over, and the woman actually recognized Liu Xiaoqin.

"Miss Liu, can I take a photo with you?"

The other party spoke Cantonese, Liu Xiaoqin didn't understand at first, and the man in the back took out a camera from his bag and gestured, and Liu Xiaoqin reacted.

It's just that he appeared a few times at the Academy Awards ceremony, but he didn't expect Hong Kong people to recognize him so soon, which made Liu Xiaoqin surprised and became in a particularly good mood.

She took the initiative to take a photo with the other party, and left a mailing address for the other party, hoping that the other party would wash out the photo and send her one.

At the end, Liu Xiaoqin asked very enthusiastically: "By the way, Miss, where are you from Hong Kong?" ”

"I'm Hiroshi. The Easterners came to Hong Kong for tourism. ”

The woman thanked her and walked into the elevator with her boyfriend.

Liu Xiaoqin was stunned for a few seconds, and then shrugged at Jiang Wen, who was waiting on the side, "It turns out that I was doing a lot of things, and I thought that everyone in Hong Kong knew me." ”

"Everything needs to have a process, step by step."

Jiang Wen put on sunglasses, helped Liu Xiaoqin carry her bag, and the two walked out of the hotel together, and were about to raise their hands to stop a taxi, when a few guys with cameras suddenly appeared on the side and slapped at the two of them.

Jiang Wen stretched out his hand to block the camera lens, and asked loudly, "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

"Miss Lau, I'm a reporter for Hong Kong New Weekend. Can I ask you a few questions? "One of them identified himself. A few others followed suit. They are all some not-so-well-known tabloid reporters in Hong Kong.

Liu Xiaoqin didn't know much about the situation in Hong Kong, and when she saw that a reporter came to interview her, the unhappiness just now was immediately put to the back of her mind, "It's okay to interview, but I have an important appointment today, and I won't have much time left for you...... Ten minutes maximum. ”

"May I ask Miss Liu, is this gentleman next to you your current boyfriend?"

Jiang Wen was not happy when he heard it, this kind of problem involving other people's privacy. How can he take it out and ask casually, he just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand the reporter, but was stopped by Liu Xiaoqin.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I refuse to answer this question."

"Then may I ask Miss Liu, do you have any ideas for filming here when you come to Hong Kong this time?" Another reporter asked.

"The main reason for coming to Hong Kong this time is that I received an invitation to the Academy Awards ceremony, of course, I have also considered this aspect of what you said, but for the time being, I have not planned to take over the drama in Hong Kong, but I have reached a cooperation intention with the famous Hong Kong director Mr. Li Hanshen. He will go to the mainland to direct a TV series that I have invested in. Of course, Liu Xiaoqin will not let go of this opportunity to promote her new TV series, and at the same time deliberately moved Li Hanshen out. to amplify the impact.

Unexpectedly, a reporter immediately asked a question: "Li Hanshen has not started filming a new film in Hong Kong for a long time, and now everyone says that he is outdated, Miss Liu, do you understand this situation?" ”

Liu Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment in embarrassment, she knew about this situation, but she didn't expect the reporter to be so faceless, so she said it in person.

"I'm sorry, we're in a hurry, can we do an interview with you next time?" Jiang Wen took a step forward and blocked Liu Xiaoqin, preventing the reporter from continuing the interview.

At this time, a taxi happened to stop on the side of the road, Jiang Wen opened the car door, let Liu Xiaoqin sit in first, and then got in the car by himself, left the reporters, and walked away.

On the way to the restaurant where he had made an appointment to meet Lin Youlun, Jiang Wen complained.

"You should have said no when they asked the first question."

"This is Hong Kong!" Liu Xiaoqin deliberately emphasized.

"I know this is Hong Kong, but does that make any difference?" Jiang Wen asked rhetorically.

"The media environment in Hong Kong is different from that in the mainland, where freedom of speech is as important as abroad, and reporters are free to ask any question." Liu Xiaoqin patiently explained.

"They should respect basic privacy, right?" Jiang Wen retorted.

"After coming to Hong Kong for so many days, don't you read the newspaper?" Liu Xiaoqin looked at Jiang Wen in surprise: "Don't you know that in Hong Kong, it's normal to report on celebrity privacy?" Don't say it's you and me, it's just a person of Mr. Lin's identity, and it's not often brought out by the Hong Kong media to talk about things...... In the future, I am afraid that you will stay in Hong Kong for more time than me, and you will have to adapt to these things slowly. ”

Jiang Wen stopped talking now, he knew that Liu Xiaoqin was reasonable, but he was still a little uncomfortable with Hong Kong reporters taking personal privacy as news.

After chatting about this topic, the two of them were silent, thinking about their own thoughts along the way.

When they arrived at the restaurant where they had made an appointment to meet, Lin Youlun had not yet arrived, Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin came to their seats first under the leadership of the waiter, not thinking that there was already a person waiting here.

"You're director Johnny To, right?" Liu Xiaoqin glanced at the other party carefully, because she had met at the Academy Awards dinner, so she immediately called out the other party's name.

Du Qifeng only felt that Liu Xiaoqin was a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"May I ask who you are?"

"I'm mainland actor Liu Xiaoqin, and I heard someone introduce Director Du at the banquet last night, but I didn't go over to say hello to you at that time." Liu Xiaoqin explained.

Du Qifeng suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember, you are the mainland actress who presented the award with Cheng Long." ”

Liu Xiaoqin smiled and nodded, and then Du Qifeng's gaze fell on Jiang Wen again.

"And who is this?"

"He's my boyfriend, Jiang Wen, who is also an actor." Liu Xiaoqin said.

Du Qifeng patted his head, "The heroes and heroines in "Furong Town" directed by Xie Jin are the two of you, right?" I went to see that movie when it was released in Hong Kong, and I'm so sorry I didn't recognize it just now. ”

Liu Xiaoqin nodded in understanding, "Director Du is in Hong Kong, so it's normal that he doesn't know us." ”

Du Qifeng got up and invited Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen to sit down together, and then asked, "The two of you were also invited by Mr. Lin?" ”

Liu Xiaoqin covered her mouth in surprise, "Director Fei Du is too?" ”

Du Qifeng nodded, and then began to look at Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen seriously. This morning, Lin Youlun called him, saying that he had a very good script in his hand, and asked him if he was interested in being a director.

can be evaluated by Lin Youlun as a very good script, Du Qifeng also wanted to see it, so he agreed on the spot, but he didn't expect Lin Youlun to make an appointment with someone else at the same time.

With To Qifeng's understanding of Lin Youlun, Lin Youlun will not bring two groups of unrelated people together for no reason, so there is only one possibility to see Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin here, either one of these two people, or both of them are the leading actors of Lin Youlun who are ready to invest in the filming of that movie.

When Du Qifeng was secretly thinking in his heart, Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen also had the same confusion as Du Qifeng in their hearts, of course, they were more sure on their side, because there could only be one director of a movie.

Under this complicated emotion, neither side spoke again, until the door of the private room was pushed open again, and Lin Youlun walked in.

"I'm not late, am I?" Lin Youlun saw that everyone was here, and asked deliberately.

Du Qifeng, Liu Xiaoqin, and Jiang Wen all stood up, and Lin Youlun hurriedly waved his hand, "Today is to call everyone to get to know each other, don't be so serious in private, everyone is casual." ”

Although Lin Youlun said this, Du Qifeng, Liu Xiaoqin, and Jiang Wen waited for Lin Youlun to pull out a chair and sit down, and then sat down.

Lin Youlun first turned his head and ordered the waiter to serve the food, then turned around and glanced at Du Qifeng, Liu Xiaoqin, and Jiang Wen's faces, "You all came earlier than me, you should already know each other." ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Youlun nodded, "That's good, I don't need to introduce more, let's go straight to the point." ”

Du Qifeng, Liu Xiaoqin, and Jiang Wen all paid attention and began to listen carefully to Lin Youlun's next words.

"The script I have is about a professional killer and a little girl, and you can think of it as a pure killer movie, but at the same time it's a movie that is more about the killer story, because the theme of this movie is the friendship, care, communion and dedication between strangers...... I hope the style of the film, as its name suggests, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". ”

The meal was served quickly, but Du Qifeng, Liu Xiaoqin, and Jiang Wen didn't have the idea of moving chopsticks, they were all immersed in the story described by Lin Youlun.

The young girl's protagonist, Millet, returns from a trip and finds that his home has been hacked. Gang bloodbath, helplessly knocked on the door of the neighbor Ali's house, the killer Ali in Xiaomi may be hacked. When the gang killed, a door was opened for the girl, and this moment of acceptance saved a life, and at the same time made the fate of the two tightly entangled.

Lin Youlun's story stopped at this point, because he found that if he continued to talk about it, the food on this table would be cold, so he stopped talking and beckoned everyone to eat first.

Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin started to eat with vegetables, but they didn't speak, Lin Youlun had already stated in advance that Jiang Wen was looking for Jiang Wen to be the leading actor in this play, and the role of killer Ali was obviously prepared for Jiang Wen, and before the story was finished, it seemed a little redundant to ask anything.

From the actor's point of view, you only need to consider how the role is, but from the director's point of view, there are many issues to consider.

Finally, he put down his chopsticks, raised his head and looked at Lin Youlun seriously, and said, "Mr. Lin, I have carefully considered it, this movie is not suitable for me to be a director, but I have a more suitable person to recommend to you." ”
