Chapter 233 "Fanghua Peerless"

"Adong, do you think the grand prize can still be awarded to us?" In a fast food restaurant not far from the Taiping Theater, Lin Lingnan drank Coke and looked at his younger brother Lin Lingdong.

Lin Lingdong shook his head: "I look at the hanging." If you didn't promise Chen Ping'an to join Dark Horse International, he would definitely not give it to you, that's a million! ”

"Is it really as the newspaper said, the grand prize is set for Wang Jing?" Lin Lingnan sighed, "Chen Ping'an won't be that kind of person." ”

"Hehe, brother, have you ever thought that if you agree to join Dark Horse International, you will be the one who will be awarded the grand prize." Lin Lingdong's face was full of disdain, "If you reject him, it doesn't mean that others will refuse." I heard that Wang Jiawei resigned to join Dark Horse International, and I estimate that his book will definitely win awards. ”

"Shameful black-box operation!"

Some time ago, Lin Lingnan received a call from the staff of Dark Horse International, informing him to go to Hong'an Tao, saying that Chen Ping'an wanted to see him.

He came to Hong'an Tao Bar as agreed and met Chen Ping'an. The latter told him straight to the point, liked his script of "Prison Storm" very much, and planned to put it on the screen next year. and invited him to join Dark Horse International, and promised that he would be the only one who won the grand prize in this script collection competition.

"Prison Storm" is the first script written by Lin Lingnan, and he is a rookie screenwriter. If he was replaced by another rookie screenwriter, he would definitely be busy agreeing, but he didn't. He and Lin Lingdong have a deep brotherhood, and "Prison Storm" was not created by him alone, Lin Lingdong also participated in it, but in order to avoid the company's dissatisfaction, his name was hidden.

In all fairness, Lin Lingnan is very willing to join Dark Horse International. Don't say anything else, just talk about the bonus of one million, his brother Lin Lingdong has been in Xinyi City for so many years, and he has never made so much money. But Lin Lingdong has decided to develop in Xinyi City, and he naturally wants to support his brother, so he can only decline Chen Ping'an's invitation.

As the newspaper questioned the script collection competition, it was believed that Dark Horse International did not have a transparent and non-public selection method, and did not restrict its own screenwriters from participating in the competition, which greatly affected the possibility of black-box operation, and even suspected that huge bonus awards such as the grand prize and the first prize had already been decided.

The one million prize that he almost got missed was missed, and Lin Lingnan felt a little regretful and dissatisfied in his heart.

But Lin Lingdong didn't mind, he smiled and said to Lin Lingnan: "Brother, this is nothing. This competition is funded by Dark Horse International, no matter who can win the award, at least the status of screenwriters in the film industry has been improved. Just for this, we screenwriters should be grateful to him. And if you agree to his invitation, the special prize will be you, and at that time, will you still think that it is shameful to operate in the dark? ”

Lin Lingdong's words are very reasonable, those with vested interests will always have another mentality. Besides, because of this competition, the status of Hong Kong screenwriters has been significantly improved, which can be seen from the salary.

Lin Lingnan entered the film industry under the introduction of his brother and became a screenwriter, which is a good time. As a rookie screenwriter, his current treatment is even better than Lin Lingdong's treatment at the beginning of this year. At the beginning of this year, Lin Lingdong had been working in Xinyi City for several years.

"You're right."

"Let's see if we can get 100,000 or 200,000 this time." Lin Lingdong said with a smile, "Anyway, it's a windfall, if it is handed over to the company, it will be at most thirty or fifty thousand yuan." ”

Lin Lingnan worried: "It won't even be that we won't be able to win the Excellence Award, and then we will be empty-handed." ”

"No way. Chen Ping'an must be very optimistic about our script, and it is impossible for him not to. ”

"That's good. 100,000 is 100,000, which is a lot. ”

"Let's eat first, we have to go to the Taiping Theater after eating."

After eating something at a fast food restaurant to fill their stomachs, the brothers came to the Taiping Theater. The awards ceremony officially started at eight o'clock in the evening, and now it is only seven o'clock, and the door is already full of people, including citizens and media reporters, and some filmmakers chatting at the door.

Lin Lingnan is just a rookie screenwriter, although Lin Lingdong has not been very famous since he entered the industry, he was just promoted to director not long ago, and he is also a newcomer in the circle. The appearance of the two did not cause a sensation, and those who could take the initiative to greet them were all unknown little people.

The entrance of the theater is very lively, a bright red carpet extends from the theater, very eye-catching, the two sides are separated by streamers, and many people gather around the streamers to whisper and look curious.

Chen Ping'an has a lot of tricks.

The thought popped into the brothers' minds at the same time, and they looked at each other and smiled.

When he came to the gate of the Taiping Theater, Lin Lingnan showed the invitation letter, and after the staff read it, they immediately invited him to the red carpet, and they actually invited him to walk through the red carpet and enter the theater.

Lin Lingnan was a little puzzled, turned his head to look at Lin Lingdong, but found that Lin Lingdong was stopped by the staff and asked him to enter the theater from the open space next to the carpet.

What does this mean?

When Lin Lingnan walked on the red carpet, Zhang Min's voice immediately came from the stereo: "Now it is Lin Lingnan, a contestant who walks on the red carpet." He is from New Arts City, and his entry for this time is "Prison Storm". Let us welcome Hong Kong's future outstanding filmmakers on the red carpet with our warmest applause! ”

"Wow!"

The warm applause rang out, and the onlookers on both sides immediately burst into laughter, because the applause was recorded in advance, not the applause of the audience in reality.

But Lin Lingnan had a strange feeling in his heart, unconsciously straightened his waist, walked into the theater with firm steps, and actually had a feeling of excitement. When he walked into the theater, the applause rang out again to the sound of beautiful music.

This applause was not recorded in advance, but a real applause. The staff next to them, the participating screenwriters who have already entered the stadium are applauding enthusiastically, and other guests or audiences who have entered in advance also applauded along with these people.

A staff member came over and politely took him to his seat, Lin Lingdong walked over and found that he was in a trance, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, it's okay, it's just a little touching."

"Touch?"

"Well, it feels like me, I ......"

"Do you feel like you've become the main character?" A screenwriter next to him took over the conversation with a smile, "Meet the contemptible Liu Zhenwei, who is currently a small screenwriter of Debao Pictures." ”

"Lin Lingnan."

"Lin Lingdong."

"Brother?"

"Hmm."

The three of them know each other, Liu Zhenwei continued to sigh: "Boss Chen is too exalted to us screenwriters. I've been in the circle for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen a boss pay so much attention to our screenwriters. Don't say it, when I came in from the red carpet just now, I suddenly felt like a protagonist, and this was the first time I was a screenwriter. ”

"That's how I feel, too, and I'm very excited." Lin Lingnan nodded vigorously and echoed Liu Zhenwei's words, "I feel that I am the protagonist tonight." ”

Lin Lingdong was puzzled: "Don't you want to be so exaggerated, isn't it just walking in from the carpet." Besides, tonight is the award ceremony of the script contest, and you, as the contestants, are of course the protagonists of tonight. ”

"It's not what you say." Lin Lingnan shook his head, "How to say it, people who haven't experienced it can't understand it." ”

As Lin Lingnan said, tonight's awards ceremony, such as red carpet and applause, looks nondescript in the eyes of others, and many insiders think it is funny. But those participating screenwriters who walked through the red carpet and entered the competition had a different feeling in their hearts.

After entering the venue, they sat down together, talking about the feelings in their hearts. The feeling of being valued was something they had never experienced before. Prior to this, the status of pure screenwriters in the Hong Kong film industry has never been high, that is, the screenwriters of Dark Horse International, in terms of treatment and attention in the company, far surpassing their peers.

"Why do I think this award ceremony is a bit of a sensationalism?" Xu Jinheng asked Yang Zhicheng in a low voice.

At this awards ceremony, all film companies in Hong Kong gave Chen Ping'an face, and almost all the bigwigs came.

Golden Harvest's Zou Wenhuai, Liu Lianghua and Liang Feng; Debao's Pan Disheng, Shum Kin Xun and Hung Jinbao; Yang Zhicheng, Xu Jinheng, and Yu Cheng of New Art City; Lei Juekun of the Golden Princess; Wu Siyuan of Siyuan Pictures; Xu Guanwen of Hui's Pictures; Cai Ziming of Fuyi Films; Chen Xunqi of Yongjia Pictures; Mak Brothers of McDonald Hung Film and Television Company; Xiang Huasheng and Xiang Huaqiang of Yongsheng Films; Zhang Yijia of Taiwan's Lianhai Pictures; Cai Songlin of Scholar Pictures; Tomson Film and Television's Xu Feng ......

The bosses of various film companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan almost all came to the Taiping Theater, not only for Chen Ping'an's face, but also for the screenplay and screenwriters who won the award tonight, especially the screenwriter.

The script is dead, and it will be bought out by Dark Horse International after winning the award, but the screenwriter is alive, and the award-winning screenwriter must be worth twice and become a treasure in the eyes of major companies. In particular, the screenwriters of their company also participated, and if they can win the award, they must be vigorously cultivated and wooed, so as not to be poached by other companies. In addition, if you have the opportunity, you can also poach the award-winning screenwriters from other companies.

The new art city came to Yang Zhicheng, Xu Jinheng and Yu Cheng, although Lin Jianyue agreed not to fight against Dark Horse International again, but the personal grudge between him and Chen Ping'an ...... To be precise, Chen Ping'an's humiliation of him is destined to be impossible, and it is impossible for him to laugh and enmity with Chen Ping'an.

"Grandstanding?" Yang Zhicheng pointed to the advertisements around him, "See, he will hold an award ceremony, and most of the prize money will be settled, if it is still done next year, I am afraid that I will not need to pay a penny." And when you entered the door before, the staff didn't let you and me step on the red carpet, but let two unknown screenwriters enter through the red carpet, how did you feel at that time? ”

It feels very uncomfortable!

Although he couldn't see Chen Ping'an holding the award ceremony, it was a red carpet, a streamer and a recording applause, but he entered from next to the red carpet, which still made Xu Jinheng very angry. Born with a golden key, where is he not the focus of everyone, how has he ever encountered such a cold reception? If it weren't for Yang Zhicheng to pull him, he would have almost walked away.

"For the film industry, we are still newbies, and it is not enough to have money. Don't you see how many achievements Chen Ping'an has during the period when he started from scratch? He has not set foot in the business world, otherwise with his mind, he would definitely be a business tyrant. ”

"I still think tonight's awards ceremony is nondescript. If you don't believe it, if you look at other people's expressions, I'm afraid you think so too. ”

As Hui Jinheng said, many people thought the award ceremony was ridiculous, like a child's play. However, as a song that no one had heard before, the award ceremony officially began, and everyone understood that this time Chen Ping'an was ready to play big.

"Do you want to kiss it;

Alluring the country and the city, it is my great name......"

Zhang Guorong's singing sounded, and the audience screamed. As Zhang Guorong's fans, they are familiar with every song of Zhang Guorong, and they have never heard this song, it is obviously a new song!

"Ahh

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

"Brother, I love you!"

As Zhang Guorong signaled to the audience and cast charming eyes, the audience's screams skyrocketed, but then the appearance of a female voice directly made the atmosphere of the scene burst!

"Monroe Lisa, just a painting, how to dominate the world;

Elizabeth outside the dynasty who will bow down to her......"

"Sister Mei!"

"It's Sister Mei!"

"Sister Mei, I love you!"

Seeing Anita Mui singing and walking on the stage, Zhang Guorong walked over to greet her, the two looked intimate and cooperated tacitly, and sang a brand new song together, and the audience could no longer control the excitement in their hearts and cheered to their heart's content.

Zhang Guorong's unique charm is lined with Mei Yanfang's atmospheric glamour, and the voices of the two of them are intertwined, and the glitz is gradually rising. The two sang gracefully, revealing a kind of arrogance beyond the world, as if the emperor was making a speech to his subjects, and the letter was pointing out the country from the reins. The sentence "accept you as my fan" has attracted countless audiences to indulge in it.

“…… I was born noble and glamorous to the end;

It doesn't cost to turn sentient beings upside down;

I have to be glamorous and the sky is Qi;

Do you want a kiss or not? ”

When the duo's chorus fell, the music stopped, and the audience erupted in the most enthusiastic cheers and cheers, which lasted for a long time. The two cooperated tacitly, performed wonderfully, calmly sang and had a strong stage charm, and completely conquered all the audience.

At the end of the song, the audience shouted the names of Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong in unison, and the two held hands and bowed to the audience to thank them.

Anita Mui asked: "This song is called "Fanghua Peerless", is it good?" ”

"Sounds good!"

Leslie Cheung asked: "Guess what, who wrote this song?" ”

The audience was dumbfounded, and half a minute later, a girl's firm voice sounded: "Ning Caichen!" ”

There was an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Mei Yanfang waved her hand: "Presumably the girl who answered just now must be a loyal fan of A'an." The voice is very good, and it is estimated that it will also look beautiful. Journalists, pay attention, this is what you are best at, and I'm looking forward to A'an's scandal in the newspaper tomorrow. ”

"Haha!"

The audience burst into laughter, and they all heard that this was Anita Mui's teasing of reporters.

Zhu Yin's face was flushed, enjoying the eyes of the people around him, and grabbed his mother's arm: "Mommy, Sister Mei said that the reporter would report on the scandal between me and Mr. Chen, what should I do?" ”

The female audience next to her kindly reminded: "Little sister, don't be afraid, Sister Mei is protecting you, and reporters don't dare to be so immoral." ”

Really? Zhu Yin felt a little lost in his heart, people really wanted the reporter to lack virtue once, so that he could notice others! R1152
