Chapter 194: The Villa in Bingi Road

"Do you want me to film with Chenglong?"

The warm spring is the most sleepy, and Lin Qingxia, who was sitting on her open-air balcony basking in the sun, was slowly sipping the coffee in her hand while looking at Li Xuan, who was standing on the balcony guardrail, and asked suspiciously.

Li Xuan didn't look back, and directly replied lazily: "Yes, but this time I am cooperating with Golden Harvest." ”

Lin Qingxia's focus has obviously shifted to Hong Kong, not only signing a contract with a Hong Kong film company, but even using her savings to buy a three-story townhouse on Binghe Road in Mid-Levels. It is estimated that the previous owner of the house is likely to be a fan of Lin Qingxia, so he sold the house to Lin Qingxia at a very low price.

And this townhouse is not only located on the tree-lined Binji Road in Victoria Peak, but it is also a single-family house, and even has its own small garden and rooftop rooftop. Li Xuan stood on the balcony and looked into the distance, and he could vaguely see the shadow of a ship cruising in Victoria Bay in the distance.

"You can really toss!"

Lin Qingxia took the liberty of giving Li Xuan a comment, and after she finished speaking, she also laughed to herself. She said that Li Xuan can toss, but she is not like this, she just finished filming the Shaw Brothers version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and in a blink of an eye, she had to go to Golden Harvest to film.

"What, you agreed?" Li Xuan finally turned around this time, slowly walked to the table and sat down and asked.

"Can I not say yes?" Lin Qingxia put down the coffee in her hand, glanced at Li Xuan and continued: "You are my boss." ”

Before Li Xuan met Lin Qingxia, he was afraid that she would not agree, after all, Chenglong and Qin Xianglin, who had been pestering her before, were very good friends. But when he thought of these two friends, Li Xuan felt very weird, Qin Xianglin and Chenglong, the two guys, had a relationship with Deng Lijun on the front and back feet, this ex-boyfriend and boyfriend can continue to be good friends, how strange do you think......

However, Qin Xianglin is also worthy of the nickname "Charlie of the Flower Heart", and after being rejected by Lin Qingxia several times, she continued to make several movies in Hong Kong. It's a pity that he, a well-known literary film god in Taiwan, can't eat well in Hong Kong, and Chenglong has not returned to Hong Kong at that time, so he can't take care of this good friend. So after Qin Xianglin played a few supporting roles, he ran back to Taiwan alone and continued to make his literary films and political and educational films.

This guy came crisply, and he went even more crisply!

"Haha, that's fine." Li Xuan nodded slightly, took a deep breath and continued: "It's just that in this play, it is estimated that you are not as brilliant as Dongfang Undefeated......"

Lin Qingxia lay on the back of the chair and said with a slow smile: "It's okay to press it, the undefeated East is so brilliant that no one in Hong Kong dares to ask me to make a movie now." ”

“……”

As soon as Lin Qingxia's words came out, it made Li Xuan cry and laugh a little, which can be regarded as one of the evil consequences brought by "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

In previous years, whenever a film became popular, a large number of follow-up films often appeared in Hong Kong. For example, after Chenglong's "Drunken Fist" became popular, a large number of follow-up films such as "Iron Fist", "Dragon Fist", and "Awakening Fist" were released. Later, after "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" became popular, "Senior Sister Out of the Horse", "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" and "Senior Sister Out of the Horse" ran out in a swarm.

But this time, after "Smiling Proud Jianghu" became popular, it never followed the trend.

In the final analysis, it is the investment of millions plus the advanced filming techniques of seven or eight years, which is not something that the bosses who invest in follow-up films dare to shoot casually. In case the movie loses money, it will be a real loss. I don't see Yongsheng, who has always insisted on following the trend, has it all died down.

And after Lin Qingxia's successful transformation of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", she had to face an embarrassing problem, Hong Kong movies at this time did not pay much attention to the heroine at all. Take "Modern Bodyguard", which won the New Year's file, for example, it was completely supported by the three Xu brothers, but few people can leave an impression on the heroine.

Lin Qingxia is now the price of a first-line male star, but there is no corresponding position. And the undefeated image of the East she created is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, diluting her previous image of the goddess of literature and art a lot, and many screenwriters have no idea where to start with this new image.

The final result is that few film companies dare to ask Lin Qingxia to film.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan smiled helplessly, looked at Lin Qingxia and asked, "This time you came to Hong Kong, why didn't your aunt come with you?" ”

"No need." Lin Qingxia shook her head and continued: "When I was in Taiwan before, my mother only helped me take care of affairs sometimes. Now that she's older, I don't want her to run around, just stay in Taiwan and enjoy the blessings. And this is Hong Kong, if my mother goes to learn Cantonese now, it will be a little troublesome, so it is better for you to arrange a local agent for me. ”

"That's right." Li Xuan nodded, looked at the quiet scenery around him and said, "This mid-level is not a famous villa area in Hong Kong, but it is very quiet. ”

Lin Qingxia also turned her head to look at the mountain scenery in the distance, and said with great interest: "Except for the cable car that leads directly to the top of the mountain, minibuses and taxis are not allowed to enter, and there are security guards patrolling at any time, but you don't have to worry about being disturbed by reporters." Now that your family's Ah Hong is becoming more and more famous, do you still plan to live in the radio station all the time? ”

"No, I've been thinking about moving too." Li Xuan stood up, looked at the top of the mountain and said slowly: "But buying a villa now is a bit unworthy, I'll wait another year and a half." ”

"Can't buy it now?" Lin Qingxia asked suspiciously.

"yes." Li Xuan sighed for a long time before continuing: "Isn't the lease term in Hong Kong coming soon, the current Hong Kong has begun to appear in chaos, I estimate that it will be even more chaotic in another year or two, and the house is estimated to be much cheaper by then." ”

Li Xuan doesn't remember any other details of the Sino-British negotiations, but he remembers Margaret Thatcher's very famous wrestling very well. Later generations also said that after the news of this wrestling reached Hong Kong, the stock market was turbulent, and Li Xuan would not speculate on stocks, but at that time, housing prices would definitely fall, and it would not be too late to buy a large villa in the middle of the mountain at that time.

"You're very optimistic, aren't you afraid that the mainland will call you when the time comes?" Lin Qingxia looked at Li Xuan and smiled.

"The mainland can't fight it, in fact, as long as the water and electricity are cut there, Hong Kong will instantly become a dead city, and there is no need to fight. Besides, don't you do the same? Li Xuan pointed to the house under his feet and said with a smile: "I just bought such a villa, this is not like what a person who is afraid of the mainland will do." ”

Lin Qingxia shook her head and said with a smile: "When I bought this house, I didn't think about it so much, I just wanted to give myself a whole comfortable nest for the time being." ”

"That's not bad, put it for twenty or thirty years, this is also a property worth tens of millions."

Lin Qingxia glared at Li Xuan speechlessly, and said teasingly: "You are so sharp-tongued, you should really join the young talent group to petition the mainland, maybe the Hong Kong problem will be solved by your mouth." ”

"Young talents?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and smiled: "Young talent group, Qingxia, just wait and see, this thing will just be a big joke at that time." ”

As early as 1972, the mainland political axe sent a letter to the United Nations anti-colonial group not to recognize the British sovereignty over Hong Kong, and the subsequent United Nations General Assembly also passed a resolution recognizing the mainland's position and demands on Hong Kong. At that time, there was little disagreement from the British political circles, and even the declarations and statements made by China and the United States when they established diplomatic relations officially confirmed the sovereignty of Hong Kong.

But when Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady, became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom two years ago, the winds began to change.

However, the British political axe did not want to return Hong Kong to the mainland at all, so the Hong Kong government began to publicize in the media that "Hong Kong is an inalienable part of the United Kingdom", "the mainland, a country that cannot manage capitalist Hong Kong", and a series of other remarks. Not to be outdone, the leftist Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po immediately launched a counterattack and fought a war with the pro-British media.

In addition to calling out the media in Hong Kong, a place with a big palm, the two countries have also wooed elites from all walks of life in Hong Kong society. For example, Shao Yifu and Jin Yong's secret trip to the north is a reaction made by the mainland against the British political axe in the context of this era.

At the beginning of this year, the Hong Kong government began to lobby many political and business elites in Hong Kong's traditional upper class, led by Jardine Matheson and HSBC, with the help of the commercial power of traditional British funds. The purpose was to form a so-called "group of young talents" to rush to Beijing to exert pressure on the mainland, so as to fulfill Britain's idea of "sovereignty" and "governance" proposed to China to separate Hong Kong.

Separation of sovereignty and governance? It's a shame that the British can figure it out! Li Xuan didn't even have to think about what kind of things this young talent group would encounter when they arrived in Yanjing, was that old chief a soft persimmon......

"Big joke?" Lin Qingxia sneered, looked at Li Xuan and laughed: "Then according to what you say, you don't even have the qualifications to be a joke now." ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Xuan was slightly embarrassed, then looked at Lin Qingxia and changed the topic and asked, "Qingxia, how about accompanying me to a film awards ceremony in a few days?" ”

"Film awards?" Lin Qingxia was stunned when she heard this, but immediately asked again: "I'll go with you?" What about Ah Hong? ”

"You two are going with me!"

"......" (To be continued.) )
