Chapter 202: Conversation at the Birthday Banquet

"Sister Lian, happy life!"

"Miss Chen, happy life."

"Sister Yulian, I wish you a happy life, cheers!"

"Yulian, happy-birthday!"

“……”

At the end of March, Zhou Yunfa booked two tables at the Pearl City Hotel in Causeway Bay and held a small birthday banquet for his girlfriend Chen Yulian. And to Li Xuan's surprise, this is really just a life banquet, Zhou Yanfa this time except for the two of their friends in the circle, no one else was invited, even his Bole Xu Anhua was not invited.

When he was drunk, Liu Dehua, who was still unusually young at this time, stood up from his seat, held a wine glass and said to Zhou Yanfa: "Brother Fa, I wish you and Sister Yulian a hundred years of good harmony and eternal marriage!" ”

It's just that as soon as he said this, a burst of laughter instantly sounded on the wine table.

"Oh, is it a birthday banquet or a wedding banquet today?"

"Wedding reception? Oops, how can you give a gift if you don't prepare a red envelope. ”

"It looks like it's a wedding banquet today!"

"Ah Fa, you look at this little brother and say so, when are you going to do something with Yulian?"

"It's Ah Fa, we're still waiting for the wine."

“……”

Zhou Yunfa suddenly stood up with a glass of wine and waved his right hand and said, "Everyone, I promise that it will be soon, but I won't bother you with the specific time." That Andy, thank you for today's good words, and thank you for your concern, I will give you a cup in return, do it first! ”

After Zhou Yunfa finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and drank it all. And Liu Dehua, who understood that he had just said the wrong thing, also sat down cowardly after drinking the wine in his hand.

Liu Dehua came here today with his classmate Liang Jiahui, and the two of them are students who have just been admitted to the wireless training class this year. However, although they have only been studying in the wireless training class for three months, because the training class adopts the teaching mode of learning and practice, the two of them have already started acting.

The first role of the two of them was to play passerby A in "Passerby" broadcast by TVB in February. After TVB watched the elixir Zheng Shaoqiu's "Rogue Emperor", it arranged for Li Xuan's senior brother Du Qifeng to direct a TV series called "A Thousand Kings and Heroes". In this TV series starring Xie Xian and Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui played tricks again, so they became acquainted with Zhou Runfa.

It's just that what makes Li Xuan feel strange is that this birthday banquet, Zhou Yanfa's junior classmates invited a lot, such as Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui and Lu Xuanwei, and Huang Minyi, Jing Daiying and Rong Huiwen on the woman's side, and of course Li Xuan, Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia, these supernumeraries. But Zhou Yanfa's classmates, except for Lin Linggu, who had just returned from studying in Canada, did not invite anyone else, such as Wu Mengda, who Li Xuan was most concerned about.

Wu Mengda, this guy didn't listen to wireless last year and wandered around in Taiwan for several months, but he also made himself notorious there. It wasn't until the end of last year that he couldn't get along in Taiwan and ran back to Hong Kong that he was stunned to find that TVB no longer cared about him. This year, except for relying on the old relationship between Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhou Yanfa to run two tricks in "Rogue Emperor" and "A Thousand Kings Heroes", no one is willing to ask him to film.

Wu Mengda, who is a wireless contracted artist, owes hundreds of thousands of gambling debts outside, and the family can't live at all on the basic salary of wireless, and his life is getting poorer and poorer.

Zhou Yunfa and Wu Mengda, two good friends, are really different from each other now, which is embarrassing.

It's just that Zhou Runfa didn't invite Wu Mengda to the banquet this time, which made Li Xuan, who had been thinking about getting in touch with this gold medal green leaf, a little disappointed.

"Mr. Li, if you meet for the first time, please take care of me in the future." When they were staggering, Lin Linggu, Zhou Yanfa's old classmate, sat down beside Li Xuan and greeted him.

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I don't dare to take care of it, it's okay for friends to help each other." Why, I heard that Mr. Lin meant that he wanted to enter the film industry and not go back to the TV station to do it? ”

Lin Linggu The name Li Xuan has long heard of it in later generations, and knows that he is a famous director in Hong Kong, but he can't remember what films he has made. This guy is not a particularly famous director, so Li Xuan can instantly associate the movie and the director's name.

After Li Xuan crossed over, he learned a lot about Lin Linggu. For example, he and Zhou Yunfa were classmates in the wireless artist training class, but after he graduated, he did not become an actor but turned behind the scenes and started a TV production at TVB. After working in wireless for a few years, he jumped to Jiayi TV.

It's a pity that he jumped ship at the wrong time, and chose to do so in 78 years, but Jiayi went out of business after only producing a "Pioneer" on Jiayi TV.

Subsequently, this guy went to Canada to study and just came back a few days ago.

"Haha, TV?" Lin Linggu chuckled lightly and replied slowly: "I'm afraid Mr. Li doesn't know what I studied in Canada, right?" ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! Li Xuan raised his glass and said.

"I studied filmmaking in Canada." Lin Linggu paused slightly, and continued: "I have been in TV for several years, and I know that there are too many constraints on making a TV series, so it is better to be a film director. So after Jiashi went out of business, I thought about changing careers, and then I went to York University to study filmmaking. ”

"Good idea, but also a very correct choice!" Li Xuan sighed in admiration and continued: "Not only do there are few constraints in making movies, but Hong Kong films have broken box office records in the past two years, and now they have reached a super high box office of 20 million. I dare to say that Hong Kong films will enter a golden age in the next ten years, and those who seize the opportunity to enter this industry of gold diggers at this time, if they are really talented, I don't say that they will become famous, they must also be full of benefits. ”

"Peng Man's Boyi?" Lin Linggu glanced at Li Xuan and chuckled, "Mr. Li, what you said is really realistic. ”

"Haha, that's true." Li Xuan waved his hand and continued: "In business, my identity before I became a director was still a company boss. Oh, by the way, Mr. Lin is going to be a retail investor or sign with a film director when he returns to Hong Kong this time? ”

Needless to say, the signed directors are the retail investors that Li Xuan is talking about, which are those directors who have not signed a contract with the film company and are still looking for investors with scripts everywhere. For example, Xu Anhua, and Xu Ke before signing the contract with Xinyicheng, they all took the script everywhere to find investors to film. And these investors are not limited to the film industry, as long as they can afford to make money. For example, Luo Hu, who invested in Hu Jinquan's "Empty Mountain and Spiritual Rain", has two shareholders in this film company, one of whom runs a restaurant and the other who advertises.

"I'm going to sign a contract with a company, so I'm asking Mr. Li to take care of me this time." After Lin Linggu and Li Xuan talked for a long time, they finally said their intentions.

“……”

This answer was to make Li Xuan experience for a while, and after a pause, he asked curiously: "What does Mr. Lin mean, do you want to come to my Xuanyuan?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Linggu nodded unabashedly.

"Uh......" Li Xuan pondered for a while, and asked suspiciously: "I'm curious, with Mr. Lin's ability, whether it is to go to Golden Harvest or to go to the new art city supported by the Golden Princess Cinema behind it, it is more than enough, but why did you find me, a small company that is not famous?" ”

Li Xuan only said these two film companies, needless to say, Shaw Brothers needless to say, although Fang Yihua is now open the door to convenience, there will definitely be no future for foreign directors. And Hong Jingbao's side is also full of talents, with several directors in hand, and there is no shortage of people. As for the other Siyuan, Colorful and Cooperative, the current reputation is not as high as Li Xuan's company, but it goes without saying.

"It's not hard to explain." Lin Linggu thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Li, you should know director Wu Yusen, what type of movies is he making in Golden Harvest now?" ”

"Comedy."

"What about Xu Ke, who was just recruited by Xinyi City?"

"Forehead......" Li Xuan looked at Lin Lingdong and said strangely: "It's also a comedy." ”

Xu Ke entered the first movie shot in Xinyi City, and finally released the news, the name was "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Multi-star", Li Xuan didn't have to think hard about the plot of this movie, and he knew that it was a comedy as soon as he heard the name.

"Mr. Li, look!" Lin Linggu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, I prefer to shoot action movies, not that I don't like comedies, I just don't want to make them." If I went to these two companies, I wouldn't have to think about it, I would make a comedy for five or six years. So in the end, I thought about it, and only Mr. Li in Hong Kong could show this courage. ”

Hearing this explanation, Li Xuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

This Lin Linggu, but he is an academic director similar to Xu Ke and Wu Yusen, doesn't he like to shoot comedies......
