In the café next to the bookstore, on a window seat on the second floor, Lin Xi sat there alone, drinking slowly with a cup of coffee in his hand.

Zhong Chuhong had just said goodbye and left, and there was still half a cup of coffee on the table opposite that she hadn't finished.

For this Hong Kong "Marilyn Monroe", Lin Xi's impression has always stayed in the red bean in the movie "Across the Seas", with curly hair full of charm and charm, coupled with a beautiful and moving face, it can be called the perfect "dream love. people".

Although Zhong Chuhong is not as charming as she was later, her unpretentious natural temperament has already taken shape, especially when she and Lin Xi drank coffee together, she no longer wore that old-fashioned pair of glasses, and the kind of confidence brought by her natural beauty made her exude charming charm all over her body.

Of course, Lin Xi didn't patronize to see the beauties, and after sitting down, he told Zhong Chuhong about the general plot of the movie "People Are Scary", and also told her that the cost budget of this drama is more than one million, so naturally the salary that can be paid to Zhong Chuhong is not high.

Zhong Chuhong is actually more interested in literary films, but "The Story of Hu Yue" did not perform well at the box office, and during this time, Shaw Brothers did not arrange other movies for her.

Although the family can still support some of them, Zhong Chuhong has two younger sisters and a younger brother under her, she has known since she was a child to help share the pressure with the family, and now she has become an actor. Naturally, he will no longer reach out to his family.

Lin Xi's appearance can be regarded as a solution to her urgent need.

In this way, the two sides happily reached an agreement.

Lin Xi gave Zhong Chuhong's contact information to Hong Jinbao, and asked her to contact Hong Jinbao to confirm the matter, and the two began to chat.

From Zhong Chuhong's mouth. Lin Xi knew that she didn't buy the original "Chu Liuxiang" to read it herself, but a gift for her younger brother, and now this gift has Lin Xi's signature on it, which is even more meaningful.

After Lin Xi knew about this situation, she directly asked Zhong Chuhong for the address of her home, saying that she only needed to publish a new novel in the future. will send a copy to Zhong Chuhong's younger brother.

Zhong Chuhong is a straightforward character, and he expressed his gratitude in person, but he did not refuse Lin Xi's kindness.

The two sides chatted for more than half an hour, and then Zhong Chuhong apologized and said that it was not too early, and she should go back. Lin Xi offered to send her, but was politely refused.

In this way, Lin Xi stayed by himself, drank a full cup of coffee, looked at the time and saw that the time was almost up, and then checked out and left.

This side is only more than ten minutes away from Lin Xi's house, and then Lin Xi deliberately slowed down, so he walked for half an hour.

When it's almost at the doorstep. Lin Xi saw a black sedan driving by, and the person in the back seat was a little familiar, waiting for the car to drive over. He glanced back at the license plate, and then there was an expression on his face that it was.

After not walking a few steps forward, Lin Xi saw his father Lin Shu standing on the side of the road, looking at this side from a distance.

At first, Lin Xi thought that he had been seen by Lin Shu, but when he walked up to Lin Shu, he found that he was not aware of his existence at all, and then he realized that Lin Shu was standing on the side of the road in a daze.

Stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Lin Shu's eyes. This brought Lin Shu back to his senses.

"Don't look at it, Aunt Yang is already gone!"

Lin Shu was pierced by Lin Xi. deliberately asked him with a straight face: "I came back so late, where did I go to fool around?" ”

"Pickle girl! I'm supposed to be in a bit more anxious than you about this, right? Lin Xi replied nonchalantly.

Lin Shu was so angry that his eyebrows were raised. glared at Lin Xi viciously, and he didn't know how to teach this kid a lesson.

"Alright, alright, just kidding!"

Lin Xi pushed Lin Shu's shoulder, and the two entered the building together, and when they got to the elevator, Lin Xi asked why Xia Meng left so early.

"It's still early, what time is it? Originally, she only said that she had a meal at home, and when she came, she knew that you were not here today, and she said that she would wait for you to come back to say hello before leaving, but your kid didn't come back until now, so she had to leave first. ”

"I'm not afraid of disturbing your two-person world!" Lin Xi shrugged helplessly.

Lin Shu was speechless again.

"Originally, I wanted to wait until I was eighteen years old before moving out, but now it seems that this should be done in advance, and after a while, when I have a little more free money, I will go outside to find a suitable house."

It was not very convenient to live with Lin Shu all the time, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xi took the initiative to mention this matter.

Lin Shu didn't directly object, but just snorted lightly and said, "What's the matter, the wings are hard and you want to fly solo?" ”

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean me to move out, it's you to move out!" ”

"What?" Lin Shu's eyes widened, and his expression was exaggerated as if he had heard the news of a ten-magnitude earthquake, "You mean to sweep me out of the house?" ”

Lin Xi smiled.

"That's pretty much it!"

Lin Shu raised his hand and was about to fight, just when the elevator door opened, Lin Xi dodged out in a flash.

Lin Shu strode out, looked at Lin Xi angrily and said, "Stinky boy, you make it clear to me, what do you want me to move out!" I bought this house, and if you want to sweep it out, I should sweep you out of the house! ”

Lin Xi saw that Lin Shuzhen took his words seriously, and quickly explained: "I misunderstood, I mean, if you are with Aunt Yang in the future, you can't continue to live in such a small place, right?" I'll find you a bigger house when I go back, can I do my filial piety in advance? ”

Lin Shu was silent when he heard this, Xia Meng's affection for him, he was clear, and Lin Xi had no opinion on this matter, so this matter could not be delayed forever, the most important thing was that Lin Shu also wanted to give Xia Meng an explanation, and he didn't want her to wait for so many years and still have no name in the end.

And with Xia Meng, it is true that the house is a little small now.

Lin Shu's idea was originally to wait for the first film of Blue Bird to be filmed and released. After recovering the investment, I discussed with Xia Meng to buy a set outside, but I didn't expect Lin Xi to take the initiative to bring up this matter.

Of course, it's one thing to accept it in your heart, but it's another thing to say yes.

"You think I'm an eyesore, so you're trying to get me out there, right?"

"You have to understand it that way. I have no opinion either! ”

Lin Xi's words made Lin Shu angry again.

"Okay, if you want to buy a bigger house, why do you have to pay millions, right?"

"About five million, strive to change the villa in one step."

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Shu just drank the water in his mouth and squirted out all at once.

"Five million want to buy a villa. Are you kid crazy? ”

"Negotiations between China and Britain are about to begin, right? Although you and Mr. Cha help to say good things in the newspaper, most Hong Kong people still have concerns about the return, and this sentiment will be transmitted to the economy. It won't be long before the housing market will collapse, and the house price may drop by half, and it will not be difficult to win a villa for five million, right? The main reason is that I am also very short of funds on hand, and this economic downturn is episodic, and it will soon rise again, otherwise I want to take a few more properties, and I will make double the net profit as soon as I sell it, which is similar to opening a money printing machine. ”

Lin Xi said. Lin Shu really felt that he was not bragging, this kind of economic crisis that spread to Hong Kong could indeed occur, or that it was already brewing.

"Five million isn't a small number, is it? Blue Bird was established, and you have already given me 5 million. You invested more than 10 million yuan in Xu Guanwen's movie, where did you get so much money left? ”

Lin Xi's economic situation is probably clear, so he said so.

Lin Xi calculated an account with Lin Shu like this: "That's right, I do only have more than two million left in my hands now, but I will spend this money immediately." Make three movies, if you're not lucky. These three movies alone will bring me almost 2 to 3 times the return on income, and it should be more than enough to buy a house when the time comes. ”

Lin Shu's expression this time was even more exaggerated: "Two million make three movies." Even if the theater chain can give you half of the box office, each movie will have to have at least tens of millions of box office to have the rate of return you say, you are your father and I are so easy to fool? ”

"I invested two million, and the other two million were made by others, so to be precise, four million to make three movies, as for the box office, you said that this number is about the same, if the schedule is well arranged, maybe it can be more than this...... Of course, I know it's hard to convince you of this now, in fact, I only told you this, even my partner I didn't tell him, because I was afraid of scaring the other party, which is similar to the crisis in the Hong Kong stock market and property market that I just mentioned to you. ”

Lin Shu raised his hand, "Wait, why am I confused by what you say, what does making a movie have to do with the stock market and the real estate market?" ”

Lin Xi poured himself a glass of water, sat in front of Lin Shu and analyzed it for him: "Why is there a bubble in the stock market and property market, because everyone thinks that the stock price and housing prices will rise, so people keep throwing money into it, and the price will naturally be pushed up, but when one day everyone loses this confidence, the bubble will naturally burst, and it is the same for making movies. But the audience is tired of watching five or six films of this kind at most, and the result of everyone rushing to the top is that only a few people make money at the beginning, and those who go in later have to lose money, isn't this the same as the stock market and property market? ”

Lin Shu was a little unconvinced, glanced at Lin Xi and asked, "Is it really such an exaggeration as you say?" ”

Lin Xi pouted helplessly, he still has no way to tell sù Lin Shu, how strict will the Hong Kong film industry in the future be to "follow the trend and grab shots", it is often a blockbuster, and more than a dozen follow-up works will immediately emerge on the market, these works only want to make money, and they are naturally shoddy, not only disrupting the market order, but also overdrawing the market of a certain type of theme, and the zombie films and gambling films that are all popular in the future will be destroyed in this way.

Lin Xi doesn't have the ability to stop this kind of thing from happening now, so naturally he will make all the money that should be earned first, anyway, the fantasy kung fu movie is just a flash in the pan, and in the end it won't become a big climate, and it's no pity to be ruined by followers.

Although Lin Shu felt that Lin Xi was a bit risky to do this, Lin Xi had already made a decision himself, so he didn't say anything more.

Hong Jinbao's efficiency was very fast, Zhong Chuhong contacted him the next day, and on the third day he called Lin Xi to tell him, the shooting of the three movies was ready, in order to hurry, the three dramas were divided into two groups to shoot, Sammo Hung took one group to shoot "Ghost Fights Ghost" and "People Are Scary", Lin Zhengying took a group to shoot "People Scam Ghosts", and the other brothers of the Seven Little Fortunes either made cameos in front of the stage, or did martial arts behind the scenes, in short, everyone has something to do.

After Lin Xi beat the two million, in order to "avoid suspicion", he no longer had a bright night with the other side, and even Zhong Chuhong, who knew his relationship with these three movies, was also instructed by him not to leak the news to the Shaw Brothers.

Originally, Zhong Chuhong was an artist of the Shaw Brothers, and she shouldn't have agreed to this kind of thing, but she still agreed.

On the one hand, it was because of the plea with Lin Xi, and on the other hand, it was actually because Zhong Chuhong did not have much sense of belonging to the Shaw Brothers.

When she participated in the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant, she failed because she couldn't wear high heels on the spot, and only won the fourth place, and failed to participate in the wireless audition after the game.

In addition, Zhong Chuhong's contract with Shaw Brothers is about to expire, so she will naturally not help Shaw Brothers at this time.

Because the storyboard script given by Lin Xi is directly detailed to what each shot should be, Hong Jinbao and others are actually painting the scoop according to the gourd, plus the preliminary preparation is sufficient, and the shooting speed is quite fast, the first "Ghost Fight" and the last "Man Scared Ghost" were announced in more than two weeks, and then the people on both sides worked together to shoot the second "Man Scary", and it only took more than ten days to complete it.

Hong Jinbao found the person in charge of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line with three well-made sample films, and in the case of promising that the Shaw Brothers accounted for 60% of the box office, and as the producer and distributor of the company, he only accounted for 40%, and the Shaw Brothers finally agreed to release these three films, and also gave a very good schedule, the three movies will be released every 10 days, and after the release, look at the box office table and then decide how long it will be screened.

And during this period, Lin Xi was not idle, because the unbuilt side of "Back to the Future" is nearing the end, and most of the preliminary preparations have been prepared, which means that the film is not far from the official start of filming.

As one of the directors, Lin Xi's life has also become busy all of a sudden. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
