Chapter 104: Blue Bird Pictures
After the group photo, everyone sat down again, the wine and food were served, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Huang Zhan asked about the filming progress of Lin Xi's "Peerless Double Pride", and by the way, he joked that the newspapers outside are now eager for Lin Xi and Jin Yong to pinch each other when they meet, who would have thought that at this time, the two could still sit at the same table and talk and laugh.
Jin Yong smiled and pointed at Huang Zhan, "You have such a mouth, just say that the media can't wait for me to fight with Lin Xi, why don't you say that "Chu Liuxiang" is still serialized in the supplement of "Ming Pao"?" โ
Huang Zhan took a sip of wine, pursed his lips and said: "Of course, some newspapers are following and coaxing, but this is also a major event in the Hong Kong literary scene in recent years. โ
"I have always admired Mr. Cha very much, so this one doesn't need to be compared, I just admit defeat." Lin Xi picked up the wine glass, raised it to Jin Yong, and toasted himself.
thought that this would be able to block Huang Zhan's mouth, but he didn't expect him to continue to instigate Jin Yong and say: "Mr. Cha, don't be fooled, this kid is very cunning, on the surface he is admitting defeat to you, but in fact, he has decided that today our gang will not tell what he said just now, and when he turns back to face the reporter, do you see if he will be so modest." โ
Lin Xi put down his wine glass, looked at Huang Zhan with a depressed expression and asked, "Uncle Zhan, I haven't messed with you recently, have I?" Why can't you get along with me? โ
"You've been in the limelight lately, I'm jealous of you, right?"
Huang Zhan has never had any scruples when he jokes at the wine table, and naturally no one takes his words seriously.
Jin Yong stood up and pressed his hand and said, "Okay, don't fight, let me say something fair!" If this matter had been placed ten years ago, Lin Xi might not have been as good as me, and if it had been placed ten years later, I might not have been as good as Lin Xi, and now we are on par. Besides, I just sold the copyright of the novel to TVB, and it has nothing to do with me what the TV series looks like, and here Lin Xi is the director himself, and there are surprises brought to everyone by "Chu Liuxiang" before, I believe it is normal for him to succeed again this time. โ
Jin Yong expressed his position directly, and Huang Zhan was not good at continuing to embarrass Lin Xi with this matter.
Seeing that Huang Zhan's side finally stopped, Lin Shu exchanged glances with Xia Meng beside him, and then cleared his throat and said, "Please come over today, in fact, there is something to announce, I ...... Xia Meng and I."
Huang Zhan was straightforward, and without waiting for Lin Shu to finish speaking, he hurriedly said: "Are you going to get married?" โ
Zhou Comin and Li Saifeng were stunned together, and Lin Xi just put down the teacup here, and with a puff of his head, he sprayed the tea he had just drunk into his mouth to the ground.
Jin Yong's situation was not much better, the chopsticks in his hand directly knocked over the wine glass in front of him, Lin Leyi was startled, and quickly took the paper to help him wipe it.
Even Xia Meng, who has always paid attention to manners, stared at Huang Zhan angrily at this time.
Seeing that Huang Zhan accidentally committed public anger, Lin Yanni hurriedly stood up to help him play the round.
"Drinking too much, what nonsense?"
Huang Zhan also realized that the joke just now was too big, and hurriedly remedied: "I'm sorry, I really drank too much, come on, I'll punish myself with a drink!" โ
As soon as the wine glass was served, it was snatched by Lin Yanni.
"Drink too much and drink more, give me tea!"
Then Huang Zhan was very sad that Lin Yanni banned alcohol, and he didn't even let him touch the wine glass again.
Seeing that Lin Shu's expression continued to be embarrassed, Xia Meng took the initiative to say: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I went to the mainland some time ago, and I was deeply touched by the various changes over there, and I happened to meet an elder I knew before, and he strongly invited me to go back to the mainland to make a movie, so I agreed, this time I came back to Hong Kong to set up a film company first, and I just talked to Lin Shu about it, and he was willing to support me, so we decided to set up this company together, and we have already discussed the name. It's called Blue Bird Pictures. โ
As soon as he heard Xia Meng say the name of this film company, Jin Yong immediately understood the deep meaning, and couldn't help but praise it: "There is no way to go to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent to visit!" You gave the company this name, presumably hoping that this company could become a messenger for cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland, right? โ
"That's true!" This time it was Lin Shu who answered, he first glanced at Xia Meng, and then looked at Jin Yong with a serious face and said: "Ming Pao has always been very concerned about the mainland, and recently I found that Mr. Cha's editorial seems to be changing his attitude towards the mainland. โ
This topic was a bit strict, and even Huang Zhan, who had been coaxing just now, quieted down.
"I don't dare to assert the future situation, but there is one thing I can tell you, not long ago I received an invitation from the mainland, hoping that I can go back to the mainland for a visit, I haven't decided whether to go or not, but now after listening to the idea of you and Xia Meng to set up Blue Bird Pictures, I suddenly figured it out, I should go. I even have a mention yรฌ, I can ask the mainland to add the names of you and Xia Meng to the list of visiting groups, I don't know what you think? โ
When others heard this, they all showed thoughtful expressions, but Lin Xi was an agitated spirit.
He suddenly remembered that this year seemed to be Jin Yong's first visit to the Wรจn Mainland, and if nothing else, he should be received by Deng Gong this time.
If Lin Shu can be walked together, maybe he can also meet the chief architect of the mainland's reform and opening up.
For a while, Lin Xi's mind changed rapidly, and after weighing the pros and cons, he secretly gave Lin Shu a look, which meant that he agreed to come down.
Lin Shu didn't reply to Jin Yong immediately, only said that he had to think about it again.
Jin Yong also saw Lin Shu's hesitation, but he seemed to be quite enthusiastic about this matter, and continued to encourage Lin Shu to say: "This invitation to visit WรN was proposed by the mainland, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of security. Jing, and then you can go separately, so that you can try to see more places, and the impression will be more objective and comprehensive, of course, you have to promise me that you will write down all the things you have seen and felt in those places, and when you come back, you will publish them in Ming Pao. โ
Xia Meng also opened his mouth to persuade Lin Shu at this time: "Since Mr. Cha has said so, it is better for you to agree, and I will accompany you at that time, there should be no problem." โ
Everyone tried their best to persuade Lin Shufang to nod and agree.
