Chapter 198: Fang Yihua's Move
Could it be that Zhang Guorong has broken up with Sydney?
And this little couple who had just come out of the Hong Kong Arts Center obviously saw Li Xuan standing alone at the door. Zhang Guorong was slightly stunned, then nodded at Li Xuan and greeted, "Mr. Li, good evening!" β
"Mr. Zhang, Miss Deng, good evening!" Li Xuan smiled, looked at Deng Huishi and said, "Miss Deng is really dazzling tonight, and she is so glamorous." β
This is the first time that Deng Huishi and Li Xuan, who is well-known in Hong Kong, have a conversation, but as the gold medal host of Radio Television Hong Kong, she has no stage fright, and said with a familiar smile: "Mr. Li praised it falsely, no matter how dazzling the little woman is, she can't cover the brilliance of Miss Lin Qingxia." β
"Haha." Li Xuan chuckled, looked at Zhang Guorong and said, "Mr. Zhang, your girlfriend is really good at talking. β
"She's like that, she knows everyone she knows." Zhang Guorong gently patted Deng Huishi's little hand holding his arm, and replied with a doting face.
However, Zhang Guorong's words told Li Xuan that he had broken up with Sydney.
"Where did I get my own cooking? I'm called popular. Deng Huishi muttered to Zhang Guorong dissatisfied, then looked at Li Xuan and smiled: "I'm looking forward to next year's Hong Kong Film Awards now." β
"Oh? What to expect? Li Xuan asked curiously.
Deng Huishi blinked her eyes and replied: "What are you looking forward to, looking forward to how many awards Mr. Li will win in the Academy Awards next year!" β
"Alas, is Miss Deng hitting me?" Li Xuan waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I didn't even enter this award this year." β
Deng Huishi shook her head when she heard this, and explained with a straight face: "That's not the same, how well Mr. Li filmed this year's "Smiling Proud Jianghu". The characters in the movie have affection, righteousness, dreams and lives, and people are like dreams. Now, I finally understand why many people say that Mr. Kim Yong's novel is a fairy tale. β
"Oh, my play can make Miss Deng have a dream, that's qualified." Li Xuan chuckled: "But whether you can be shortlisted for the Academy Awards depends on the judges' meaning." My "Black Man" last year, isn't it also ......"
"Mr. Li, these two movies are not the same!" Deng Huishi suddenly interrupted Li Xuan's words and said softly: "Needless to say, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is self-explanatory, but "Black Man" ......"
Deng Huishi paused, glanced at Li Xuan with a calm face, and then continued: "Mr. Li, to put it mildly, I really don't feel anything other than the good and exciting scenes of this "Black Hero". β
"Don't feel anything else?" Li Xuan was stunned when he heard Deng Huishi's words.
"yes!" Deng Huishi nodded, frowned slightly and said, "Let's talk about friendship, I always feel that the friendship between Heixia and his friends is still a little bit worse; Speaking of love, it seems that the male protagonist and the female protagonist have a paragraph, and the female protagonist is purely a trick; When it comes to family affection, then there is no such thing at all. The whole play, ah, the image I was given was a movie that was purely a bad guy. After beating the bad guys, the movie is over. β
ββ¦β¦β
Li Xuan now finally knows why his "Black Man" did so well at the box office but was not shortlisted.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The day after the Hong Kong Film Awards ended, the media in Hong Kong were really scolded.
The newspaper criticized most of the people who came to the stage to accept the award for being casually dressed and not dignified enough; The media scolded the Academy Awards for having fewer awards than the Golden Horse Awards, which was simply ridiculous and generous; Of course, there are many media critics for the shoddy production of the Academy Awards, which is completely a tiger and not an anti-dog.
Ay!
The Academy Awards have been scolded by the media so much, it is estimated that Radio Television Hong Kong will not sponsor it again next year, and I don't know what the gang of "Film Fortnightly" will do when the time comes.
"Hey, where is Ah Hong, aren't you at home?" Wang Jin ran to Li Xuan's house early in the morning and sneakily took a turn, then looked at Li Xuan, who was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, and asked.
"Well, not at home." Li Xuan drank porridge while looking at the newspaper spread out on the table, and asked casually, "What's the matter, you have something to do with her?" β
"Something!"
"Then you can come back tomorrow." Li Xuan then flipped through a page of the newspaper and replied lightly: "She went to Qingxia's house last night, and I don't know if she will come back today." β
ββ¦β¦β
Wang Jin was speechless for a while, and only after half a sound did he mutter: "You don't want to ask, what is the matter with me looking for her now?" β
"What am I asking for?" Li Xuan asked rhetorically without replying, and then continued: "Anyway, it's not that you can't say it. β
"Forehead ......" Wang Jin patted his forehead, and after thinking about it, he said cowardly: "A few days ago, the sixth aunt asked me to make a movie. β
"Ahemβ"
Li Xuan choked on the porridge in his mouth and coughed sharply, so he quickly put down the spoon in his hand, patted his chest, and then looked at Wang Jin with a surprised face and asked, "What did you say?" β
"Say what?" Wang Jin was slightly stunned, and then immediately replied: "I said that Aunt Sixth asked me to make a movie a few days ago." β
Depend on!
Li Xuan's face was cloudy for a while, this Shao Clan had just cheated himself, and now he came over to dig the corner of the wall again? It's not enough to pit yourself, do you plan to continue to pit the king and the fat man?
"Fang Yihua wants you to go to Shaw Brothers now?" Li Xuan asked with a cold face.
"Nope."
ββ¦β¦β
Li Xuan looked at the fat man in front of him in surprise and asked, "She asked you to make a movie, but she didn't say that you should go to Shaw Brothers?" β
"yes, I'm wondering too." Wang Jin also replied with a confused face: "Aunt Sixth not only didn't mention that I should go to Shaw Brothers, but also said that if I need actors, I can find them outside, as long as it doesn't exceed the budget of the movie." And more importantly, this time, the sixth aunt said that if the Hong Kong box office of the movie can reach 3 million, she can also give me a share of the director. β
ββ¦β¦β
After listening to Wang Jin's words, Li Xuan suddenly felt that one head and two big, this Fang Yihua, what are you going to do now that you have made so many things? And a movie can get more than 3 million box office in Hong Kong, which is not a difficult thing for Wang Jin now.
"Hey, Ah Xuan." Wang Jin thought for a while and continued: "Don't you think that this time is very similar to the situation when you filmed "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but it is divided into a little less ......?"
"Don't say it." Li Xuan touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "It's really about the same, but this time Fang Yihua is not afraid that the directors of Shaw Brothers Pictures will unite to oppose it?" β
"Against what?" Wang Jin Zhenzhen said eloquently: "My dad is a senior in Shaw Brothers Pictures, and this time Shaw Brothers' investment is less than one million, which is not as influential as your "Smiling Proud Jianghu", they didn't have anything to say about your movie at the beginning, what can they object to now?" β
"Tsk! That's really the case. Li Xuan smashed his mouth twice, and said helplessly: "But now that I see Fang Yihua's actions, how do I feel that I have been used as a gun by Shao Yifu?" I'll charge this old man and hang up, and then Shao Yifu will let you go on again. β
"No, Uncle Sixth definitely didn't use you as a gunman." Wang Jin thought for a while, and then continued to reply: "You don't know, since the Shaw Brothers made such a fuss about you, the sixth uncle no longer cares about the affairs of Shaw Brothers Pictures, and now he doesn't even watch the movie." And ah, I've heard ......"
Wang Jin suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously, and continued: "I also heard that the sixth uncle originally wanted the sixth aunt to give up power to Huang Jiaxi, and then concentrate on taking care of the TV station, but the sixth aunt didn't let go of the power, and she still didn't let go." β
"You mean......" Li Xuan pondered for a while and continued: "You mean that my movie is like that anyway, and then Fang Yihua used me as a waste?" β
"Hmm!" Wang Jin nodded solemnly.
"Hiss-" Li Xuan said with a toothache: "You are the contracted director of my company, Fang Yihua didn't say a word to me, so I'm not afraid that I won't agree?" β
"Will you not say yes?" Wang Jin waved his hand and said mockingly: "My dad just finished supervising a TV series on TVB, it's impossible for you not to respect your teacher and let my dad retire early." β
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of Lishi's "September offensive" that began last year, TVB recalled Zheng Shaoqiu, a ratings elixir who was filming in Taiwan, at the end of the year. Then in mid-January this year, Zheng Shaoqiu, Shen Dingxia and Li Siqi gathered several people, and filmed a TV series "Rogue Emperor" supervised by Wang Tianlin. Although this TV series did not have ratings in Changhong, it also slightly increased the ratings of TVB, which is better than nothing.
"Well, I can't help but say yes." Li Xuan replied helplessly, and then asked suspiciously: "However, won't you have to make the script of this movie yourself, right?" β
"Uh......" Wang Jin paused and nodded: "Well, I'm used to making up selfies." (To be continued.) )
