The midnight show of "Black Man" was scheduled for the evening of June 22, in fact, Li Xuan wanted to toss a premiere. It's a pity that with his current influence, it is estimated that few people will come to cheer for a premiere.

With the experience of holding midnight performances several times, Li Xuan is familiar with a lot of things, and invited a group of reporters and film critics to come early to cheer.

This time, it was Chen Baisheng who was sent by "Film Fortnightly", but he is no longer a civil servant and is working full-time as a weekly editor. Li Xuan heard Shu Qi say at the last Wang Jin's birthday party that this guy did a good job, because Shu Qi was also a part-time screenwriter and assistant director of Golden Harvest, and was planning to abdicate after a while to make way for Xian, and give him the position of editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly".

For this group of filmmakers who tossed out the Hong Kong Film Awards, Li Xuan still admires it very much. Although the later Academy Awards are exhausted, at least there are still many people who are eager to do it.

Before the movie started, Li Xuan ran to the screening room and cut out the last easter egg on the film in front of the stunned projectionist. Anyway, it is convenient to put it on when the time comes, and the special glue is sticky, and then it can be fixed with a punching machine.

When Li Xuan finished tossing the film and returned to the main entrance of the cinema, he found that Chen Baisheng and Ye Zhiming were standing at the door of the cinema chatting very happily, and the two of them let out a few hearty laughs from time to time.

"What are you two talking about? So happy? Li Xuan walked over and interjected.

"Haha, we're talking about some old days." Chen Baisheng glanced at Li Xuan and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zhiming to go to Boss Li's company, it's really gratifying." ”

"Haha, happy and happy. Mr. Chen, this Hong Kong International Film Festival is very good! Li Xuan also congratulated with a smile.

The 4th Hong Kong International Film Festival just held very well, and a large number of new wave directors shined at the festival. For example, Xu Anhua, the director of "Crazy Robbery", and Xu Ke, the director of "Butterfly Change", have both won a lot of praise.

"Haha, speaking of the film festival, then Boss Li, you can congratulate the wrong person."

Chen Baisheng was stunned when Li Xuan heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Huh? What's wrong? ”

"The film festival has long been none of my business, and now this matter is fully handled by the municipal council, and Chen is just a small audience." Chen Baisheng said with a sigh.

"Forehead ......"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with relief: "That's not bad, with the strong support of the political axe, the film festival will get better and better." Besides, Mr. Chen is now unofficial and light, so he can just concentrate on ......"

"Boss Li's words are not right."

Before Li Xuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Baisheng. This guy looked at Li Xuan unceremoniously and asked: "It's only troublesome to have a political axe to participate, may I ask Boss Li, when art is mixed with politics, how can we ensure the fairness of the film festival?" ”

Looking at Chen Baisheng with a serious face, Li Xuan just wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, the film festival is unfair to his own business! Is it necessary to talk about it all day and still be so serious?

However, Li Xuan didn't dare to say this, so he had to show a rather approving look and nodded in response: "This is indeed a big problem. ”

"I regret that when I first held the film festival, I asked for the support of the municipal bureau, but I didn't get much help, but after it became popular, the film festival was taken away by those people." Chen Baisheng received Li Xuan's spiritual support, and the surname of Tan rose again.

Looking at Chen Baisheng, who was a little depressed, Li Xuan suddenly remembered the Hong Kong Film Awards in the future, so he pondered and said: "Since the Hong Kong International Film Festival is irretrievable, why doesn't Mr. Chen hold a new film award that does not involve any political factors?" ”

"A new film award?" Chen Baisheng was stunned by Li Xuan's words.

"yes." Li Xuan nodded and continued: "Taiwan has a Golden Horse Award, why don't we also have a Golden Horse Award?" As long as politics is not involved. ”

"Academy Awards?" Chen Baisheng's head fell into deep thought.

"Haha, I guess this can't bother Mr. Chen, right? Back then, you were poor and white, and you didn't run the film festival. Li Xuan looked at Chen Baisheng, who was speechless, and continued to tease: "If Mr. Chen has financial difficulties, I can fully support him." ”

Li Xuan began to pat his chest and take care of the big bag, and now he felt a burst of excitement just as soon as he thought that the famous Academy Awards in later generations would be founded by him.

But......

"Haha, Boss Li's words made Chen suddenly realize, since the old shoes have been broken, then buy a new pair of shoes. As for ......" Chen Baisheng glanced at Li Xuan, shook his head and continued: "As for Boss Li's kindness in wanting to fund the award, Chen can only understand it. If Boss Li stops working as a film company one day, Chen warmly welcomes Boss Li's financial sponsorship. ”

"Haha, I guess it's hard to wait until that day." Li Xuan said with a wry smile.

He just lost his fair surname just thinking about political participation in the Academy Awards, and the film company's participation is not the same as losing the fair surname. Even if you judge impartiality and the film company gives awards to films, who will believe that this award must be fair?

"Oh, it's hard to wait until that day? Boss Li is ambitious. But the proposal for this Academy Award is very good, and it tickles my heart right now. Chen Baisheng replied with a smile.

"Bai Sheng, since you feel itchy, hurry up and sort out this award." Ye Zhiming also smiled on the side.

"I really can't bear to be usurped by you like this. You guys keep waiting, I'll go in first and think about what to do. Chen Baisheng said to go, turned around and walked straight into the cinema.

Li Xuan didn't realize that because of his words, the Academy Awards were born a year early. At this time, Li Xuan just looked at Chen Baisheng's resolute back and smiled, turned his head and asked Ye Zhiming, "Old Ye, are you very familiar with Chen Baisheng?" ”

"Not very familiar." Ye Zhiming shook his head and said: "Didn't these film critics make a whole word about the new wave of films not long ago, and then I invested in a movie called "Solamine" the year before last, and they insisted that it was the beginning of the new wave of Hong Kong films, and they interviewed me several times. ”

Depend on!

Li Xuan looked at Ye Zhiming in front of him in surprise, he didn't expect this guy to be able to bump into this good thing, this is an honor to leave a name in history.

However, Li Xuan was more interested in the movie "Solanella", and hurriedly asked: "Do you still have the film or video tape of the movie, I want to see what kind of movie it is." ”

"This ......"

Looking at Ye Zhiming, who was quite hesitant, Li Xuan asked curiously: "What, old Ye, is there any difficulty?" ”

"Hey, hey." Ye Zhiming laughed embarrassedly and said slowly: "This movie is based on a tycoon's cheating, so later the copyright was all bought by that tycoon." Now, you know what happened to this movie......"

Is that okay too? Li Xuan glanced at Ye Zhiming with a strange expression. As for the end of the movie, it doesn't need to be said.

"Lao Ye, you are really amazing!" Li Xuan stretched out his thumb and sighed sincerely.

"There, there, it's ...... general" Ye Zhiming's words suddenly stopped halfway through, looked at the direction of the theater gate and said in surprise: "I'm not dazzled, why is that little old man so much like Zhang Ce!" ”

Zhang Ce?

Li Xuan was also shocked in his heart, turned his head to look, and saw Wu Yusen and Xu Ke walking in with a half-old man. (To be continued.) )
