On a flight to Kyoto, a solemn woman wearing professional clothes and intellectual black-framed glasses looked at the beautiful girl sitting next to her in a daze, and couldn't help but say, "Yiyi, you can rest first!" When you get to Kyoto, you still have a lot of itinerary to go, and you should be busy again. ”

"Hmm." The girl nodded, but her eyes were still blankly looking at the entertainment magazine in front of her.

The solemn woman was annoyed in her heart, but when she followed the girl's line of sight and saw the handsome face in the entertainment magazine, a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Why, look lost, he is now the hottest figure in the entertainment industry, and even the limelight of our boss has been suppressed, work hard, maybe you can also star in his movies in the future." ”

What she didn't notice was the blankness and pain in the girl's eyes as she said this.

"Huo Yuanjia" has two consecutive box office in the mainland, and it will receive another 47.83 million this week, pointing to the 100 million yuan box office club."

""Meet My Father-in-law 2" reloaded and landed as the North American box office champion, but the magic continued, and "Huo Yuanjia" won the runner-up in North America again."

"With a cumulative total of $110 million in two weeks, "Huo Yuanjia" is expected to challenge the global box office record of "Hero".

"The first China Film Directors Association Annual Awards Ceremony will be held in Beijing from January 8th to 11th, according to Huang Jianxin, President of the China Film Directors Association, the award has been selected for the list of nominees, and the final round of voting will be held in the afternoon before the awards, and the results will be announced on the spot, during which more than 50 Hong Kong directors and more than 30 Taiwan directors will participate in the award ceremony for exchange activities."

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Lin Yuquan's eyes stayed on the news of the first China Film Directors Association Annual Awards Ceremony for the longest time, and it was a pity to say that he was not a member of the Directors Association, so without knowing the news, he did not send "Huo Yuanjia" to the Directors Association for review, and it was a pity to miss this rare event.

Of course, this is not the only award missed, in addition, the Hong Kong Film Awards, which will announce the list of nominees, cannot participate because of its strict qualifications, according to its film qualifications, first, the director must be a Hong Kong resident holding a Hong Kong permanent identity card, second, the production company must have a legally registered company in Hong Kong, and third, the staff of at least six work projects in the film are Hong Kong residents, and they must meet two of these points to be eligible to participate, but Lin Yuquan does not meet any of these three points.

However, Lin Yuquan does not feel sorry for the territorial restrictions of the Hong Kong Film Awards, which itself determines that the quality of its participating films is not high, and it has no authority at all, which is too much worse than the Golden Horse Awards.

However, the Academy Awards have been submitted for review under the reminder of Fox searchlights, but Lin Yuquan has no hope, his films are purely commercial films, and commercial films have never been treated by the judges of various professional film festivals, if there is an award for the best martial arts instructor, it can still be competed for, but who makes the best martial arts instructor only have a few film festivals in the Chinese film industry? Don't count on other awards.

In addition, the only award that can be won in the first half of the year is the Kyoto University Student Film Festival, which is still hosted by the Faculty of Arts and Media of Kyoto Normal University, and because of its special status, it should make a difference.

"If the wind stops, how will the clouds fly, if you leave, how will I sleep, if your heart is broken, how will you compensate, if you are just a playful butterfly, who are you thinking about when it gets dark?"

Lin Yuquan picked up the mobile phone, looked at the name remarked on it, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Yifei!" It's so late and you haven't slept yet? ”

"Ahh Not yet, Brother Yuquan, didn't you sleep too? Liu Yifei's voice was a little panicked.

"Yifei, do you have something to tell me, and you feel embarrassed, so you don't dare to speak?" Lin Yuquan actually knows Liu Yifei's mind very easily, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, Yifei belongs to the kind of person who is particularly cold and quiet, but in life, although she is indeed quiet sometimes, she likes to stay quietly alone, but this Nizi's personality is occasionally very lively, and she is very crazy when she plays, and her mind is as simple as a blank piece of paper, and she will not hide her feelings.

"Brother Yuquan, are you free this weekend? My mom asked me to invite you to dinner at home? Liu Yifei hesitated, and finally mustered up his courage, but he still said timidly.

"Invite me alone?"

"Hmm." Liu Yifei snorted like a mosquito.

Lin Yuquan smiled bitterly, this girl is so simple, she won't even find an excuse, so she told the truth, but her attitude towards her friends has always been so sincere, he probably guessed Liu's mother's thoughts, it is nothing more than to build a good relationship, and there will be a suitable role for Liu Yifei in the future, take care of her.

It's no wonder she thinks so, this time Yifei and Jiang Yan and Wang Luodan made cameos in "Huo Yuanjia", which is Yifei's biggest gain, which makes her pure and feminine image more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has received a lot of praise.

It's just that he and Yifei are good friends, even if Liu's mother doesn't do this, he will definitely help his friends and let them have a better development, not to mention that Yifei is red and purple now, even without him, he can have a lot of movie opportunities.

"I think it's okay, but aren't you filming "The Condor Heroes" in Yandang Mountain? How can you treat me to dinner at home on weekends? Do you want me to fly over? ”

"No, Producer Zhang gave me two days off to go back to Kyoto." Liu Yifei said hesitantly, if it was normal to invite friends to dinner, she would naturally be very happy, and it was precisely because she understood what her mother meant that she felt embarrassed.

Lin Yuquan sighed: "Yes, but I will bring Xiao Yang and Brother Hao with me then!" ”

After thinking about it, he didn't refuse, just to avoid embarrassment, and by the way, he called Xiao Yang and Ning Hao together.

"Oh, it's okay, Brother Yuquan, you're so good, you wait, I'll talk to my mother." Liu Yifei looked very happy, she actually didn't want to invite Lin Yuquan alone according to Liu's mother's wishes, and Lin Yuquan's approach made her excited at the same time, and she suddenly had an idea in her heart.

This girl, Lin Yuquan shook his head and put down the phone.

Time came to Saturday in a blink of an eye, Lin Yuquan, Xiao Yang, and Ning Hao drove to Liu Yifei's residence in Kyoto, which was a villa purchased by Liu's mother in a high-end villa community in Kyoto, and the luxurious appearance amazed the three of them.

"It's too big, it's the size of a football field in the backyard alone, when will I be able to buy such a nice house!" Xiao Yang sighed.

"It's not simple, if the movie you make is a big hit in the future, the director's fee plus dividends will be very high, and it will definitely not be a problem to buy such a villa." Lin Yuquan said with a smile, he didn't have any envy for Liu Yifei's villa, although he was short of funds now, but when the box office share of "Huo Yuanjia" arrived, he would not have to buy a more luxurious villa.

Xiao Yang gave him a blank look: "Then it has to be a box office hit, you think everyone is you, where is it so easy?" ”

"You are so unconfident in yourself, you said that you want me to dare to invest in you to make movies in the future, it seems that I have to consider whether to terminate your contract." Lin Yuquan teased with a smile.

Ning Hao also showed a smile on his face: "Yuquan is right, be confident, even if you say that it is better to make a blockbuster movie as soon as possible than to say frustrating words just now, as a director, you must have confidence and determination, it is definitely not okay to suffer from gains and losses and cowering." ”

This is Ning Hao's own experience, when he was filming the first two movies "Incense" and "Green Meadow", he encountered countless difficulties and obstacles, all of which were overcome one by one with confidence and determination, and what he is going to shoot next is a commercial comedy film, this is the first time he has been involved in commercial films, if he does not have self-confidence and determination, how can he expect future success.

"I just don't have confidence now, and I haven't said that I won't have confidence in the future, and I know this truth, so I didn't rush to make a movie, but prepared to think about it when I have enough confidence." Xiao Yang is well aware of the gap between himself and Lin Yuquan and Ning Hao, and because of Lin Yuquan's support, he will naturally wait for himself to have enough ability to try when he does not have to worry about funds.

Lin Yuquan nodded, of course it was best for Xiao Yang to have such a sober understanding, and they also came to the gate of the villa while walking and chatting.

"Yifei, I'm sorry to be late." Lin Yuquan said apologetically to Liu Yifei, who opened the door and poked his head out.

Xiao Yang and Ning Hao also greeted each other with smiles.

"It's okay, come in!" Liu Yifei immediately opened the door of the villa, different from the dress in the public eye, she was wearing a red down jacket and light-colored jeans at home, and white sneakers under her feet, she looked like a girl next door, and she didn't have the style of a big star at all.

"Yifei, your house is really beautiful!" Xiao Yang praised.

"Don't bother, let's get inside, it's because of you that Yuquan and I are late." Ning Hao patted him on the shoulder heavily.

The four of them then entered the villa hall.

"Mom, Brother Yuquan, they're here." Liu Yifei shouted as soon as he entered the house.

Lin Yuquan looked at Zhu Yawen who was squeezing his eyebrows at him in surprise, Jiang Yan, Wang Luodan, and Luo Jin who were sitting next to him, and then said politely to Liu's mother who came out of the kitchen: "Auntie, hello, I'm Lin Yuquan, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"No, you are a friend of Yifei, don't be too polite, I often see your reports in the newspaper, hehe, the young man is more handsome than the photo." Mother Liu smiled brightly.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Xiao Yang, and I'm a film and television advertising director major in the 02-level Fine Arts Department." Xiao Yang said politely.

"Hello and welcome." Mother Liu said with a smile.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Ning Hao." The mature Ning Hao was much more relaxed than Lin Yuquan and Xiao Yang.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, you can sit down first, don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home, I'll cook." Mother Liu beckoned the three of them to sit down, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
