Chapter 57: The Newsboy
At the beginning of May 1979, for Li Xuan, in addition to the birth of Wang Jin's daughter, there was also an international surname event, that is, the birth of the first female prime minister in history in Britain - Margaret Thatcher.
However, Li Xuan knew that this Iron Lady would one day fall outside the Great Hall of the People on the mainland, and then the return of Hong Kong would become an established fact.
However, for the current Hong Kong people, the news of this Iron Lady is not as lively as the scandal of another woman.
After Qin Xianglin publicly showed her love for Deng Lijun in the media in March, this generation of singers finally stood up and denied this relationship, and even said that Qin Xianglin had too much love history and thought he lacked a sense of security. As a result, as soon as Qin Xianglin heard this, she immediately publicly confessed that she only loved Lin Qingxia, as if the Roman vacation in March had never happened at all.
Lin Qingxia, who was filming Qiong Yao's movie "Caixia Full of Sky" in Taiwan, was really shot while lying down.
However, this scene of scandal made Li Xuan shout wonderfully, he originally thought that the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles in the future would be chaotic enough, but he didn't expect it to be so chaotic thirty years ago.
Fold the newspaper in his hand and put it on the driver's platform, Li Xuan turned his head to Wang Jin, who was driving next to him, and asked, "How did the movie do in the later stage?" β
"It's edited, but I have to find a time to find Brother Sanmao as soon as possible to dub the voice." Wang Jin replied seriously.
"As soon as possible?" Li Xuan frowned, feeling the seriousness in Fat Wang's tone, and continued to ask, "What happened?" β
Because in the past two days, Zhong Chuhong suddenly had a big mother's surname after seeing Wang Jin's little daughter, and he dragged Li Xuan to go shopping every day to buy clothes and toys for the little girl. This woman cares about that little girl more than Wang Jin's daughter-in-law, and she tired Li Xuan so much that she didn't even have time to care about the post-production of the movie.
Wang Jin looked at the road ahead, hit the steering wheel and said casually: "Listen to the curry, Mai Jia originally had a script and wanted to find Brother Sanmao to make a movie, but we took the lead, and the movie was still cooperated with us in the name of Baoxiang, so I have some opinions." His drama will start in a few days, and I'm afraid he won't let him go. β
"Forehead......" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Jin and said, "Can this also have an opinion?" He's crazy about money, right? β
"I guess so!" Wang Jin nodded approvingly.
Mai Jia is a comedian that Li Xuan liked more in later generations, and a famous bald detective in Hong Kong films. However, Li Xuan, who has read so many Hong Kong entertainment books, also knows that a large part of the later disintegration of New Art City was caused by uneven interests, especially Mai Jia, who accounted for the majority of interests. And later, there was another time, Mai Jia, who was the big boss of Xinyicheng, betrayed Xinyicheng once and went to help Jiahe shoot a "Best Lucky Star", and Lei Juekun, the big boss behind Xinyicheng, was annoyed.
And now, Lei Juekun has revealed a hint of the intention of forming a theater chain. And the famous New Art City in later generations has not even had a shadow. However, like Li Xuan, who has a little money, Mai Jia also has her own film company, and there is more than one. For example, in 1978, the 11th place in the Hong Kong film box office list "Tiger Field Chicken" was produced by Garbo Film Company, which he co-founded with Hong Jingbao. The predecessor of Xinyi City, the Struggle Film Company at this time, was co-founded by him, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming. But as early as 1975, he co-founded Pioneer Film Company with Wu Yaohan and made a lot of movies.
Now that Hong Jingbao has put aside Garbo and cooperated with Li Xuan in the name of the newly established Baoxiang Company, Mai Jia has an opinion, which is too lenient, right?
Li Xuan covered his forehead, he didn't want to offend Mai Jia when he was filming this movie, so he directly looked for Hong Jingbao in private, but he didn't expect to get into trouble.
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Jin turned his head and glanced at Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan put down his hand and replied casually: "Eh, it's okay." β
"Weird." Wang Jin said: "Isn't it just a Mai Jia? Are you still afraid of such a small company? β
Small company? Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. That's right, isn't Garbo and Struggle a small company now, and it's not a new art city, what are you afraid of? Besides, it's a new art city, so you don't have to be afraid. With so many movies that he has watched in later generations, can't he still stand on the land of Hong Kong!
"Huh-" Li Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid, I'm just tired after a day of shopping!" β
"Tired of shopping? You just blow it! Wang Jin glanced at the radio road playground on the side of the road, and replied disdainfully.
"Where did I blow it?" Li Xuan pointed to the clothes and toys on the back seat, and said indignantly: "If it weren't for my goddaughter, I could have bought this ...... every day."
Li Xuan was suddenly stunned, and his eyes stared directly at the newsstand next to the bus stop.
Wang Jin was still concentrating on driving, he didn't notice Li Xuan's strange appearance, and when he heard Li Xuan's half-cut words, he retorted: "You dare to say that your shopping is voluntary, if it weren't for your younger siblings dragging ......."
"Stop!" Li Xuan suddenly screamed.
"Huh?" At this time, Wang Jin reacted, glanced at Li Xuan and said, "No, I just said my brother and sister, and you are angry?" β
"What brother and sister, stop, I have something to do when I get out of the car." Li Xuan said.
"Uhhh
Wang Jin stepped on the brakes and stopped the car, glanced at the newsstand along Li Xuan's line of sight, and asked strangely, "What's the matter with you?" β
Li Xuan unbuckled his seat belt, and casually replied while pulling the car door: "Buy newspapers." β
"Huh?" Wang Jin glanced at the bridge, pointed to the newspaper on it, and said, "Isn't this a newspaper?" β
"That's Ming Pao Evening News, and I have to buy a copy of Sing Tao Evening News now. Go back, don't wait for me. β
"Bang!"
After saying the last sentence, Li Xuan closed the car door casually.
"What a mess!" Wang Jin muttered in a daze, looked at Li Xuan's back and shook his head, and then started the car and drove home.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, it was the rush hour for getting off work, and the bus stop was crowded with a lot of people. There are even more people around the newsstand, and Lao Qitou is busy selling newspapers, and he has to secretly count the newspapers sent by the newsboy. The newsboy, who had been delayed, was not in a hurry, and stood quietly waiting for Lao Qitou's reply.
"Old Qitou, very busy." Li Xuan said without saying anything, glancing at the newsboy from time to time out of the corner of his eye.
"Nonsense!" Lao Qitou and Li Xuan were very familiar with each other, and said without raising his head while counting the newspapers: "You know the rules, put down the money, take the newspapers and get out." β
Eh, this old man, so faceless! Li Xuan dropped a few coins like a toothache, picked up a newspaper casually, and asked the sixteen or seventeen-year-old newsboy standing aside, "Are you Wei Zai?" β
"Uh......, I am, you are?" Obviously a little caught off guard by Li Xuan's question, the newsboy looked at Li Xuan suspiciously and asked.
"Hehe, get to know me, my name is Li Xuan, and I am the owner of a film company." Li Xuan said with a smile, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over. He went to do it two days ago, and now that he has money, the faΓ§ade is indispensable.
"Xuanyuan Film Company?" Wei Zai took Li Xuan's business card and glanced at it, then looked at Li Xuan suspiciously and asked, "How do you know me?" β
Hearing this, Li Xuan pointed at Lao Qitou and said, "I once heard Lao Qitou call you that. β
"Oh......"
Wei Zai nodded, put the business card in his pocket, and stopped talking.
"......Uh, don't you ask me why I'm talking to you?" The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched, he was worthy of being a melancholy prince who liked to feed pigeons in the square alone in later generations, and he had very few words.
"Huh? Do you have anything else? This time it was the turn of the melancholy prince to be surprised, looked at Li Xuan and asked.
"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded: "I see that you have a good appearance, are you interested in acting in movies?" "If you can personally bring out an actor and make money by the way, it must feel very cool. Li Xuan knows the guy in front of him, he is an actor professional!
"Acting in a movie?" Liang Chaowei asked with a frown.
"Hmm!"
Li Xuan had no choice but to nod again.
"Not interested...... melancholy prince replied faintly, his brows furrowed.
Forehead? Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, what was going on......
