At the beginning, Yin Tianyou and Zhou Xingchi were not very familiar with each other, so they naturally had to be polite to each other, which was nothing more than admiring the name for a long time and hating each other. Yin Tianyou is very skilled in this regard, but Zhou Xingchi is a little unnatural, which shows that he belongs to the kind of person who is more introverted and doesn't like this way of meeting very much.

After the politeness, Yin Tianyou mentioned the blockbuster film "Journey to the West" directed by Zhou Xingchi last year, and then explained some of his views and suggestions on adapting Journey to the West.

Zhou Xingchi is definitely a good listener, at least when Yin Tianyou is speaking, he has been listening with his cheeks up. But his eyes wandered, as if he was still thinking about something while listening.

"In my opinion, the IP of Journey to the West still has great development value, as far as I know, now Chinese mainland is starting to shoot three dozen white bone spirits in the Journey to the West series, and their last drama Journey to the West: The Great Havoc of Tiangong seems to be very popular." It can be seen that this IP definitely has the value of in-depth development. Yin Tianyou said, "But I'm from South Korea, and I can only look at such a good IP from afar, not up close, so it's inevitable that I'm a little itchy-"

Speaking of this, Yin Tianyou went straight to the point: "So I came this time, in fact, the main purpose is to ask, I don't know if I am interested in cooperating with Xing Ye to develop this IP together, like Journey to the West, and create another miracle?" ”

Zhou Xingchi blinked his eyes and asked, "How much money is Boss Yin going to invest?" ”

Yin Tianyou thought for a moment, "At present, there are only about three to fifty million. ”

Zhou Xingchi originally seemed a little interested, but after hearing Yin Tianyou report this number, he smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Yin Tianyou knew that Zhou Xingchi was afraid that the investment was too small, and he was used to making a big investment of hundreds of millions. Tens of millions of investments in Zhou Xingchi are no longer in sight. Next, Zhou Xingchi always avoided the topic of cooperation, and Yin Tianyou was not easy to cut into, so he had to chat.

After chatting for a while, Yin Tianyou saw that Zhou Xingchi was a little absent-minded, so he got up and said goodbye.

After Yin Tianyou left. The female secretary couldn't help but ask Xing Ye: "FIVE is very popular in Asia, why don't you cooperate with him?" ”

Zhou Xingchi smiled: "When an IP is a little popular, there will be a swarm of people rushing in to do it, Hong Kong movies used to be so decaying, capital can only become the foundation of the movie, but it cannot affect the development of the movie." ”

Shirley: "I don't understand. ”

Zhou Xingchi smiled bitterly: "I didn't understand it before, but I didn't understand it until the Hong Kong movie was over." After saying that, he never said anything more.

……

After coming out of Starlight Entertainment. Yin Tianyou was a little depressed, but he also reviewed himself. I was indeed a little too impulsive, and I was not ready for anything, so I rashly went to talk to others, and it was not surprising that I encountered a soft nail.

With such a mood, Yin Tianyou called and asked Ren Dahua, whom he met in Hong Kong, to have lunch with.

Ren Dahua can be said to be Yin Tianyou's old friend, and the two have known each other since the filming of "League of Thieves". He is very enthusiastic and dedicated. What impressed Yin Tianyou the most was that there was a shot in the shooting, and only Ren Dahua needed to do it once. But in order to produce better results, he did it twenty times in one go. This is the professional attitude of old Hong Kong artists and the requirements for the quality of the film.

After Yin Tianyou called, he first found a nearby restaurant, and then sat in the restaurant and waited for Ren Dahua.

Not far ahead. A little couple asked for a plate of dumplings, and left without eating a few bites, Yin Tianyou was a little hungry, so he walked up unceremoniously and sat in the original seat of the little couple. Feast on the plate of dumplings that haven't been eaten for a few bites.

The diners around him looked at him with great disdain, he had never seen such a stingy person, he had never seen such a shameless person, and he even ate the rest of the food. The boss also had a bad face, Yin Tianyou only had a cup of tea after sitting down, but she didn't expect to eat other people's leftovers at this time, and she was embarrassed to stop it.

Yin Tianyou finished eating the plate of dumplings in one go, and then patted his stomach comfortably, only then did he realize that the eyes around him were wrong, and he didn't mind, so he stepped forward directly, and then threw a plate of dumpling money into the donation box placed on the counter.

Suddenly, all the people around were stunned......

……

About twenty minutes later, Ren Dahua appeared in the restaurant, and as soon as he sat down, he immediately looked at his watch, "Oh, my friend, what time is it now, dinner is on the side, and you have only lunch?" ”

"Don't complain, you're so late, I just ate a plate of dumplings. What to eat, you order. Yin Tianyou handed him the menu.

Ren Dahua is also not polite, "This kind of place is Hong Kong's special food, egg tarts, xiao long bao, dumplings - if you want to eat steak, you can't drink red wine." “

Yin Tianyou pursed his lips and said, "Are you saying that I am slamming the door or being stingy?" It stands to reason that I am a guest, and I am a guest from afar, and you are right to be the east. ”

Ren Dahua smiled, "I'll invite you directly to McDonald's-" I ordered a few meals and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter knew Ren Dahua, looked at him with some surprise, and then looked at Yin Tianyou, who was wearing a baseball cap and looked very easy-going and civilian, and felt that he was very familiar, but he couldn't think of who he was.

In fact, the waiter thought of Yin Tianyou, but the scene of Yin Tianyou eating dumplings just now made him really unwilling to imagine that a superstar would eat other people's leftovers. I don't believe it when I beat him to death, don't those big stars all live in five-star hotels, drink red wine, and eat Italian steak?

Yin Tianyou and Ren Dahua started talking, and because of the previous frustration, they were inevitably a little depressed.

Ren Dahua glanced at Yin Tianyou and asked, "Don't tell me, you delayed eating so late because there was something wrong with your relationship, did you come to Hong Kong to avoid your girlfriend?" ”

In Ren Dahua's view, the only thing that can make him depressed is a woman who can make him depressed.

Yin Tianyou didn't expect Ren Dahua's imagination to be so rich, so he waved his hand and said: "What's the matter, of course not, it's a matter of work." ”

"Work?" Ren Dahua blinked, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I went to talk to Zhou Xingchi about cooperation just now. It turned out to be not very well discussed, and an opportunity was wasted. ”

"Zhou Xingchi?" Ren Dahua's eyes widened, "What do you have to talk to him about?" ”

"Let's talk about making movies." Yin Tianyou said as a matter of course.

Ren Dahua smiled strangely, "Why did you suddenly think of making a movie with him?" ”

"Why can't I make a movie with him?" Yin Tianyou asked rhetorically.

Ren Dahua seemed to smile, "Don't you know that he is the most difficult one in our entire Hong Kong?" “

"I've heard of it before, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult." Yin Tianyou sighed.

"That guy is very talented. It's a pity that the popularity is not good, well, to be precise, I don't get along with people very much. No matter who it is, as long as you have worked with him, there is no one who will not break up. Ren Dahua said, "I'm not talking badly about him, I'm seeking truth from facts." Andy, you know, I have filmed two comedies with Chow Xingchi before, and the relationship between the two was not bad at that time, but unfortunately they never worked together again in the end...... Recently, many people on the Internet have been attacking Zhou Xingchi. Even Xiang Tai came forward to count his top ten crimes, and others also fell into the ground, only Andy took the initiative to stand up and say a few good words to Zhou Xingchi, which is called righteous anger. But as far as I know, the two don't interact much. Andy just admires the other party's talent, that's all. “

Yin Tianyou opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect that Xing Ye's popularity in Hong Kong was so bad.

"But I've heard that he's not bad, but he's a little weird."

"That's the kind of thing you say. Do you believe it? Ren Dahua asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Yin Tianyou took a sip of the teacup, "But I still hope to cooperate with him." ”

"How. Planning to find me as a lobbyist? Ren Dahua picked up a piece of egg tart and put it in his mouth. I don't have a good relationship with him, and I haven't even worked with him much. “

In fact, Ren Dahua still has some words that he hasn't said much, in the recent Zhou Xingchi was bombarded by Xiang Tai Chen Lan and many actors and directors, criticizing him for being selfish and having no one in his eyes, Ren Dahua also expressed his own opinion, he said: "I am not familiar with Mr. Zhou. I haven't cooperated either, so it's inconvenient to comment too much, but what I can say is that Xiang Tai is a very righteous person. I always say that friends are the most important thing, and people who have a lot of friends are never bad people. So Xiang Tai is definitely a good person. He also said that he had heard about Xing Ye from Wu Mengda before, but he felt that the matter had already passed, so he didn't say too much.

It's just that at this moment, seeing that Yin Tianyou wants to invite himself to help as a lobbyist, Ren Dahua is a little embarrassed.

When Yin Tianyou saw him, he understood what he meant, so he said in a roundabout way: "I really appreciate this person's talent, so I ask Brother Hua for your help." Saying that, Yin Tianyou made a grateful look.

Ren Dahua thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, since you came all the way from South Korea here, I can't let you go back empty-handed." However, it is really difficult to get this person, he doesn't even have a best friend by his side, so he can't even do it, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"It's a big deal, buy a ticket and fly back to South Korea, what's the big deal."

Ren Dahua ate half of the egg tart and stopped, "Then you go find someone, now it is estimated that only he can help you." ”

"Who?"

"Tian Qiwen-" Ren Dahua said, "and only he can help you." ”

"In the past, Tian Qiwen was Zhou Xingchi's agent, and he was also his queen gold medal supporting role, the most important thing is that he has been with him for thirteen years, and a person can have several thirteen years, so only he knows Zhou Xingchi the most, and only through him can you get the opportunity to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi."

After Ren Dahua finished speaking, "So, if you have time, you can go and meet him." ”

Yin Tianyou thought about it, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, and then said, "Okay, then this afternoon." ”

"Afternoon?" Ren Dahua wiped his mouth, "I have a meeting in the afternoon." ”

"I'll do it myself."

"Okay, I'll call him for you."

Ren Dahua then took out the phone and made a call, "Hey, Tian Ji, I'm your brother Hua......"

After talking for a while, Ren Dahua hung up the phone, "Okay, at half past four to five in the afternoon, he will arrange an hour and a half for you." ”

"Wow, he looks like he's busy." Yin Tianyou said.

"Of course." Ren Dahua buried his head in writing Tian Qiwen's address and said, "Although he left Xinghui, he is now a famous gold medal agent, and he is also a host, doing late-night programs on the radio, and playing four or five jobs alone, which is even more than a model worker." ”

Ren Dahua's words surprised Yin Tianyou, "So capable? ”

"There's no way, a person like him is neither a big star nor a super celebrity, if he wants to support his family and survive in a metropolis like Hong Kong, how can he do it without working hard." Ren Dahua said, and gave Tian Qiwen's mailing address to Yin Tianyou.

……

After the date with Ren Dahua was over, because Brother Hua still had important things to do, Yin Tianyou separated from him and went to Tian Qiwen alone according to the address Ren Dahua said.

Although Tian Qiwen is not a big man, he is also a celebrity in the Hong Kong circle, nicknamed Tian Ji, and he knows it when he asks. Therefore, Yin Tianyou soon found Tian Qiwen's office address.

Today's Tian Qiwen mainly acts as an agent for Hong Kong star Zheng Zhongji, helps him pick up some good movies, occasionally writes scripts, helps people rehearse some stage plays, and goes to be a radio host when he has time, and he is almost idle all year round. According to his words, he looks ugly, don't want to make a fortune by acting in this life, but there are mothers, wives, sons and daughters at home to support, and the family expects him to work alone to make money, if he doesn't do it, the family will have nothing to eat. In fact, Tian Qiwen does not like the high-cost and high-consumption life in Hong Kong, and has always had the idea of going back to the mainland, and several of his good friends such as Lin Zicong are now thriving in the mainland, and the money they earn is enough to buy a building. But now that his daughter wants to go to school, it is better than the education in Hong Kong, so he endures to continue to work in Hong Kong and take more jobs to supplement the family.

Today, Tian Qiwen is working in the drama club, rushing to rehearse the stage play to celebrate May Day.

When Yin Tianyou entered the drama club, he happened to see Tian Qiwen talking to the stage actors, to put it bluntly, it was to instruct the actors how to play a hard-working little rooster, because the name of their play was "The Industrious Rooster and the Lazy Donkey".

The role of the little rooster is a young man, who has never acted much before, and was temporarily pulled by the drama club to fill the number, and he has to perform on the day of the community event, so he can only finish this work in a hurry.

Tian Qiwen was teaching the actor how to learn how to crow a rooster, saying that there are three emotions when a rooster crows, the first is to get up early, the second is to fight with other roosters, and the third is to courting hens.

It was the first time Yin Tianyou had seen this kind of drama for people, so he couldn't help but make no noise and stood aside to watch. (To be continued.) )
