Chapter 13: The Stars Shine
"I hope you will give face, after all, there are still many guests coming later. It's not easy for Xiao Xue'er to welcome this offspring......"
It was just a simple sentence, but it made those reporters who flocked to it obediently retreat to both sides. In addition to lamenting that the Hong Kong reporters in this period were not bad, Lu Yan was even more curious about the guest who arrived first.
It was Mi Xue who pushed Lu Yan and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, it's Old Man Guan." ”
"Old man Guan, just count you and Qi Ye good. Today you are the first! Mi Xue greeted Guan Dexing with a smile, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Qi Ye is inside!" You go in and talk to him......"
Lu Yan is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, so he stepped forward and said with a familiar face: "Old man Guan, my name is Lu Yan, you can call me Yanzai." I love watching your ...... of Once Upon a Time."
"The stinky boy lied and didn't blink, and just now he was staring curiously at my old fellow." Guan Dexing scolded with a smile, shook his head and said: "It's a virtue to be with you, and I will educate and educate you well when everyone arrives." ”
These words really made Lu Yan blush, and he could only send the old man Guan in with a smile.
When Old Man Guan entered, Mi Xue smiled and squinted her eyes and whispered in that sweet voice: "I have long seen that you have a flamboyant tongue, and you actually made a sloppy eye in front of Old Man Guan." Oh...... In this way, you haven't seen my "Legend of the Condor Heroes" at all, right!? Humph......"
"Sister Michelle, how dare I! Huang Feihong, the old man Guan, is too far away from me! I've watched your Huang Rong over and over again, and I've dreamed of it! "This will be in order to curry favor with Mi Xue, Lu Yan is talking nonsense. As everyone knows, the intimate conversation between the two fell into the reporter's camera. In their eyes, this is a good gimmick.
The more Mi Xue listened, the more embarrassed she became, and scolded softly: "What nonsense! Dead Rotten Boy ......"
…………………………………………………………………………
As time went on, the invited guests began to arrive. Lu Yan also gave full play to his communication skills, and everyone had such a set of compliments. After all, among the many guests later, except for Shi Jian and other veteran artists, they all had some impressions.
However, Mi Xue looked at Lu Yan's calm and calm appearance, and was secretly surprised in her heart. There was a bit of surprise and appreciation in his eyes, there are indeed very few young people of this age who can be like him. Qi Ye wants to accept him as a Qi boy, and it seems that he really values him. Looking back, when I first accepted myself as a contract girl, there was no such pomp.
When the guests were almost there, Lu Yan realized that his smiling face was about to stiffen. No way, who made today their own big joy! And among the guests, everyone is higher than themselves. Even if it's about the same, I don't know how much more seniority in the circle is than myself.
"Yan Zai, let's go in too!"
Thinking that he was the protagonist of tonight, Lu Yan shook his spirits and officially walked into the hall with Mi Xue.
The guests had already sat down separately, and as Cao Dahua's son, of course he followed Michelle to sit beside him.
The people at this table are not light. Most of them are figures from the same period as Cao Dahua, such as Guan Dexing, Shi Jian and others. Originally, Sammo Hung and their master Yu Zhanyuan also wanted to attend, but his health was hindered, so his daughter Yu Suqiu came.
"Senior brother, I'm not complimenting. You deed boy, you're too ghostly. What's the matter, don't you introduce us old friends and introduce them! When Guan Dexing saw Lu Yan coming in, he immediately laughed happily.
Cao Dahua is also an expert in verbal warfare, he waved his hand and tapped Lu Yan's head and said, "Ah Yan, I'm going to welcome you." Unexpectedly, he actually offended our Master Huang! ”
Lu Yan grinned and said humorously: "I was so excited to see Old Man Guan, so my mouth slipped away." ”
……………………………………………
Seeing that the time was almost up, Cao Dahua got up and said: "First of all, thank you for the support here, today is my Cao Dahua's great joy to receive the deed." Here! It's this pretty boy, in order to accept his deed, it took me a lot of effort to get him to nod and agree......"
Everyone present who heard this laughed. Cao Dahua wants to accept the deed, but many people are too late! Because of this, everyone just thinks it's a joke. As everyone knows, if it weren't for Old Man Cao's words, Lu Yan might not have been someone else's deed.
The people present, such as Sammo Hung and others, were thinking about who this good-looking beautiful boy in front of them was, but as for Huang Baiming, they recognized Lu Yan when they came to the hotel. No one expected that the luck of this offspring boy was so good that Old Man Cao took a fancy to him.
"Where's my deed! Don't look at his beauty, it's actually just a small scene in the new art city. I didn't expect that this time I was invited by Baiming to run a trick and actually came back with a deed. Haha......" Cao Dahua, who said this, was very happy, looked back at Guan Dexing and said, "I have accepted the golden boy and girl, and you can't envy it." ”
"You're really an old naughty boy...... Shi Jian smiled, and suddenly said, "You're a person who values etiquette, could it be that this is done?" ”
Lu Yan's ears were very good, and he immediately beckoned a waiter to ask him to bring tea. After pouring a cup in person, he knelt down in front of Cao Dahua respectfully and handed over the tea and said, "Master Qi, please drink tea!" ”
"Good boy, get up quickly!" After taking the tea, Cao Dahua took a sip and said to Lu Yan cordially. His own children will all be in the United States, but the more he looks at Lu Yan, the more likable he becomes. Sensible, self-motivated, idealistic and ambitious, such offspring are rare.
For the rest of the time, Lu Yan naturally wandered among these insiders.
"Boss Huang, Boss Mai...... Director, Ah Sam...... Thank you for joining us today! Lu Yan didn't expect that almost the entire heavyweight members of the crew of "Best Partner: The Empress's Secret Order" would come, but he was relieved to think that Old Man Cao would come to run through the trick.
"Don't call me boss, the big boss is sitting there!" Mai Jia gave full play to his acting talents, and looking at it, Lu Yan was a little puzzled.
"It's Boss Lei!" Huang Baiming smiled and solved the doubts in Lu Yan's heart.
Lei Juekun? Lu Yan finally witnessed the big boss behind the scenes who single-handedly created the new art city, and he also admired it in his heart. The owners of New Arts City were the shareholders of Kowloon Motor Bus Company (Lui Kok-kwan) and the Chairman of Kowloon Development, and more than 10 years later (1992), New Arts City also ended its glorious history with the death of Mr. Lui. Later, many filmmakers seemed to have great respect for the owners of the Golden Princess (the parent company of New Arts City) led by Lui (as well as Ng Siu-chan and Fung Bing-chung), all because of their style of doing things and respecting the spirit of contract.
You must know that the largest film production company under Princess Jin is Xinyicheng, and later there are film studios, Yongjia, Magnum and other companies, which have shot more than 100 movies in more than ten years, and well-known directors Tsui Hark, John Woo, Lin Lingdong, and To Qifeng are all fierce generals of Princess Jin. The group has also created a lot of stars, the most well-known is of course Chow Yun-fat who turned from "box office poison" to "box office elixir", and Stephen Chow's first film was also involved in the filming of Magnum (directed by Li Xiuxian) "Thunderbolt Pioneer", and later Double Monday Cheng (Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan) became a blockbuster guarantee.
After Princess Jin closed down, she sold her film library to satellite TV, and many of the main creative staff (producers, directors, and planners) who participated in the production of the film in the library at that time received bonuses. Some producers told me that the first payment was over 10 million yuan, and it came one after another, so filmmakers felt that Mr. Lei and other bosses had a very fair style, and there was no bad habit of deducting bonuses at all, and they were known as the best film investors.
"But I didn't see it, Yan Zai, you actually became Old Man Cao's contract boy quietly. Then again, you'll have to toast us today. You also know that the new film has just been completed, and we are all busy with post-production. It's good today, but it's all for you...... Especially Ah Sam, who is busy releasing new records and preparing for concerts in the United States and Canada...... "Tsui Hark is still very happy that Lu Yan can become Cao Dahua's godson. This is a great help for him and the film studio he wants to establish.
"Yes, yes. Yan Zai, if you don't pass our level today, you won't be able to go to other guests. Huang Baiming and others are also understanding people, how can they not know that this also has a potential thrust for the new art city.
Although Xu Guanjie has no memory of Lu Yan, he is happy to make friends, and he quickly got along with Lu Yan.
The victory is that Lu Yan's alcohol consumption is okay, and Mi Xue and others came to help pass this level.
As for Lei Juekun and their bosses, Lu Yan also went through the motions. After all, I am young, and I really don't have much to talk about.
On the contrary, it was Sammo Hung who toasted and thanked them, and Lu Yan could be regarded as having some common words.
"Brother Sanmao, I love to watch all the films you make......"
"Brother Sanmao, I have a secret in my heart, in fact, I want to be a director and collaborate with you on a film......"
Lu Yan, who was already a little drunk, unconsciously chatted with Sammo Hung and their shoulder-to-shoulder. Xinyicheng and Jiahe Nake have always been bitter enemies, but Lu Yan doesn't care so much. What's more, he is alone, and he has to follow Tsui Hark out of the New Art City, so he has nothing to worry about.
"Brother Jackie Chan, in fact, I didn't appreciate your style very much at first. When I was a child, I watched a lot of martial arts movies, and I thought that your kung fu was not as good as Brother Sanmao. The more I watched it, the more I liked it, and it was hilarious......"
Everyone also saw that Lu Yan had obviously drunk high, but they appreciated this straightforward young boy very much. They were originally born as dragon and tiger martial artists, and Lu Yan's performance was the most to their taste.
Jackie Chan also hugged Lu Yan's shoulders and laughed: "Yan Zai, don't you dare to call me big brother in front of Brother Sanmao." You know, he's our big brother......"
There are many big brothers in the Hong Kong film industry: in Chen Kexin's eyes, Zeng Zhiwei is the big brother; In the eyes of many people, Jackie Chan is the big brother; But for Zeng Zhiwei and Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung is the big brother. In fact, in the 80s, Sammo Hung was the most popular "Big Brother".
This is not just based on their ranking in the "Seven Little Blessings", and certainly not because the latter are older.
"Big brother" has the meaning of elder brother, but nowadays, like the popular "first brother", "boss" and "I play with the game", it has the meaning of the most top-notch, the most outstanding and the top. With Jackie Chan's current achievements, people call him so, perhaps more because of the latter.
"Big Brother", as the name suggests, is bigger than "Big Brother", in fact, it is more of a parent, leader, and guide.
From this point of view, Sammo Hung is indeed well-deserved.
"Haha, one of you is a big brother, and the other is a big brother. Come, little brother, respect you......"
Unexpectedly, Lu Yan picked up the wine glass, but someone snatched the wine glass and said, "Yanzai, you can't drink it." ”
Lu Yan looked at Mi Xue's figure dimly, and frowned slightly: "Men drink, women don't mix!" ”
"Haha......"
Hearing this, many people immediately laughed. You must know that Lu Yan is now drunk, and his voice is not loud, but it is definitely not small.
Mi Xue also blushed and muttered, "A little boy, what kind of man are you talking about." ”
Sammo Hung and the others also looked at Michelle and Lu Yan with interest, especially Jackie Chan, who couldn't help laughing at this time. Although the media went viral about the scandal between Jackie Chan and Michelle, it was nothing at all. If you want to say that you are friends, there is really a little friendship.
"Michelle, it's okay for a man to drink more. Why, it's reluctant!! Hehe......" Yuan Biao's words brought the ambiguous atmosphere to the apex. In fact, he just joked casually.
In the end, Mi Xue hatefully handed the wine glass back to Lu Yan and said, "Don't pour him anymore, I have such a younger brother, of course I am a baby!" ”
Cao Dahua and the others had long been attracted by Lu Yan's movements on their side, and Yu Suqiu, who saw this scene, covered his mouth and smiled: "Senior brother, you are really a strange talent." This can make our little Cher angry ......"
"Two mouths for Lu, add a word. This posthumous boy can speak well, but this amount of alcohol is really not flattering. Ha ha! Shi Jian grinned and suddenly said, "I see that he has an outstanding appearance, and he is not afraid of life." Being an actor should be good material......"
"Annihilation, I'm a deed boy who dreams of being a director. Young, aggressive, how similar I was back then......"
"Shh Hearing the latter words, everyone laughed.
Yu Suqiu even added a sentence of 'sprinkling salt on the wound': "I don't know anything else, but you weren't as beautiful as him back then!" ”
"Haha......"
For Lu Yan, today is a bumper day. And for those journalists who are lucky enough to be able to enter, today is a veritable 'big harvest'. In particular, the ambiguity between Lu Yan and Mi Xue, whether true or not, is enough to stimulate sales.
Maybe Lu Yan couldn't have imagined that his fame feat actually relied on 'scandals' after a day's sleep.
