Volume 1 Chapter 98 Half a Month
Brother Mao's "Fat Cat Wandering" has become a well-known thing in the Hong Kong film industry at the box office.
Although this film has received praise from all walks of life, especially many film critics, who have applauded it hard, it can't hide the reality that it is not popular at the box office.
By December 4th, the box office of "Fat Wanderings", which had been released for more than half a month, had barely exceeded 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the weak box office growth momentum was generally less than 20% of the average attendance rate of major screening theaters. Fortunately, at the end of the 70s, the Hong Kong government reached a social obligation agreement with major cinema chains, and all cinemas in Hong Kong will give certain support to some films with special support from room to film and television every year, that is, to increase the number of screenings and extend the number of screening days.
As a special film with the main purpose of focusing on the mentally handicapped, the Arts Film Company won such a place for "Fat Wanderings" from the hands of the Film and Television Department, so the film can continue to be screened after half a month of box office hits. According to the agreement reached between Yineng Film and Princess Jin, "Fat Cat Wandering", which can be screened until the end of December, is difficult to make money in this city, but it should not be difficult to barely keep the capital.
However, the box office of this movie, which Zheng Zeshi pinned his hopes on, was so hit the street, Zheng Zeshi, as the leading actor and director, was also disappointed by this, and he has been in a low mood for half a month since the movie was released, not to mention, and began to doubt his own vision.
It is important to know that although Lu Dao Arts Film Company is not a first-class film company in Hong Kong, it can also be regarded as the middle and upper reaches of the second-tier film companies, and its strength is still very good. Moreover, Yineng is also one of the only three film companies in Hong Kong to have formed a company's exclusive screenwriting team. Before inviting Zheng Zeshi to make a film, the entertainment screenwriting team had already prepared several zombie scripts and scripts for other movies, but unfortunately Zheng Zeshi didn't like it. The most talented entertainment screenwriting team could only write this so-called sequel according to his requirements, based on "Why Have Me", which won the title of actor for him a few years ago.
directed and acted by himself, and the script was also made according to his requirements, but such a result was achieved, which undoubtedly poured cold water on Zheng Zeshi, who was ready to show his skills in the film industry after the success of the last movie "Maoshan", and his fiery mood also cooled down.
There was another one who was in the same bad mood as him.
In Lin Baixin's villa on Tsing Yi Island, Lin Jianle sat honestly on the sofa on one side, voting from time to time to glance at the old man who was sitting on the single-seater sofa opposite without saying a word, and his fingers were uneasily circled on his knees.
Yu Baozhu glared at her son who was not angry, and saw that her husband was really angry this time, so she had to give the young woman next to Lin Jianle a look, and saw that the young woman who looked gentle and sweet, dressed gorgeously but was not extravagant, nodded lightly, got up and left Lin Jianle, stepped on the golden lotus and walked towards Lin Baixin, and said softly: "Dad, I recently learned a massage technique with a girlfriend to refresh and relieve fatigue, and listen to my friend's statement, often pushing the room massage also has the effect of invigorating blood and strengthening the body...... I said I wanted you to try it before, and today I'll show you a hand.
After that, he walked straight behind him and stood still, and a pair of white and tender little hands began to massage Lin Baixin's shoulders.
Seeing that although her husband Lin Baixin still didn't say a word, the expression on her face had eased a little, Yu Baozhu was satisfied, and looked at the young woman who was helping him with a massage, and her eyes became more and more kind. This young woman is naturally Lin Jianle's wife Xie Linlin
In 1964, Taiwan China Film openly auditioned for the child star in the upcoming "Wanjun's Cousin", Xie Linlin's relatives helped her sign up for the audition, and at the age of eight, she stood out among more than 1,000 auditions and played Wanjun's childhood. This play won her the Best Child Star Award at the 4th Golden Horse Awards, and the same award at the 5th Golden Horse Awards and the 13th Asian Film Festival the following year. Therefore, he is known as a genius child star of the contemporary era. When she was a girl, she was still alive in the drama circle, but she also hosted TV shows and performed in TV series, and she was the first heroine in TV series. In terms of movies, compared with the glory of the child star period, she has always served as the second heroine at this stage, because this is the era of "Erlin".
In 1980, Feng married Mengmenfu Shaolin Jianle and has since disappeared. Mengmen Kuotai is not easy to do, Lin Baixin has three wives, Yuan with Lai Yuanfang, the second wife Yu Baozhu and the third wife Gu Ruiying (the fourth wife is divorced), Lin Jianle is from the second room Yu Baozhu. To be a daughter-in-law in a complex family, it is not enough to have beauty, but to be filial to the elders, harmonious to the next generation, and loving to the next generation, and generous without losing identity. In Monmon, status is not only given by the husband, but also by the in-laws. In the past, there were more Lin Daiyu, and now there are more Pan Jinlian, all of whom are not suitable for being daughters-in-law. And Xie Linlin has had a full Baochai face since she was a child, gentle and decent, and she is the most pleasing to her mother-in-law.
After marrying into Mengmen, she was very competitive and gave birth to a daughter and a son in 84 and the following year, relying on her mother to maintain her status in the eyes of her in-laws. Coupled with her docile and virtuous personality, not only her mother-in-law Yu Baozhu likes it, but even her father-in-law Lin Baixin praises her for being sensible in front of people, and praises her son Lin Jianle for marrying a well-behaved and sensible wife.
Xie Linlin's one-handed massage skills that she specially learned from professional masseurs were indeed good, and soon Lin Baixin's brows eased comfortably, waved her hand, and motioned her to stop, "You kid is more sensible than Lezai...... Alas......"
He glanced at Lin Jianle, his brows furrowed, and he snorted coldly and said, "Look at what bastard things you have done on ATV......"
Lin Jianle was afraid that he wouldn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly became less nervous, and said with a smile on his face: "Dad, you scared me. What happened to me on ATV? Didn't you do anything wrong?"
Yu Baozhu glared at his son, who was in his thirties and was not sensible, and secretly screamed in his heart. She is very familiar with her husband's personality, usually amiable and not easy to anger, once angry, it is more severe than anyone else, Linlin's good child finally dissipated some of the anger in his heart, now as long as he admits his mistake and apologizes to him, this anger will be dissipated, but he is good, he does not admit his mistake at all and does not know how to say a good word to coax, it really does not grow at all......
Yu Baozhu was helpless in her heart, who let this bastard be her own flesh and blood.
It is said that a confidant is no better than the person next to the pillow, and sure enough, as she thought, Lin Baixin saw that he did not admit his mistake, and suddenly the anger that had just been suppressed in his heart rose again, and his sword eyebrows raised to look at his eyes coldly, and he scolded angrily: "You are still hard-mouthed, how did I tell you before. Don't be arrogant or impatient, ATV is our Lin family sooner or later. Is Qiu Degen a good match, he is about the same age as your father and me, they are all self-made together, in the early years, his family property was several times that of our Lin family, and over the years, our Lin family has only grasped a few opportunities to surpass him in one fell swoop. I told you a long time ago, it is a definite fact that he wants to sell ATV, and the only thing we need to do now is to wait for another year and a half for him to smoothly hand over the management ......"
"Dad, you dissipate your anger......" Xie Linlin saw that he was angry, and hurriedly persuaded him softly, but Lin Baixin didn't listen, a pair of angry eyes still stared at Lin Jianle, pointing at him and shaking his head: "If you are a little more angry, learn from the two juniors in the fourth brother's family, I should have retired like the fourth brother, and hand over the country that I have fought for half my life to your juniors. But your eldest brother ran away as soon as he got off work, either gambling or getting drunk with his fox friends...... And you, you Lin Jianle is really capable. I don't listen to all of what I teach you, thinking you can do better......"
"Sir, don't be so angry......"
Yu Baozhu saw that his daughter-in-law, who usually liked him the most, couldn't persuade him, so he could only step forward to help persuade him, "Ah Le is also anxious to do something wrong, but he did something wrong with good intentions, and he is still young, so it is inevitable that there will be some paper leaks!"
Seeing that Lin Jianle was unconvinced, Yu Baozhu glared at him, and hurriedly tugged at his clothes, before he turned his head to the side, no longer arguing with Lin Baixin.
"Hmph, a loving mother is a loser......"
However, he was not convinced, Lin Baixin saw it in his eyes, and he was even more angry, pointing at him and saying angrily: "How much trouble do you want to give me, Qiu Sheng told me everything, you are too anxious about this matter, it is against the taboo of the business. Even if our Lin family becomes the owner of ATV, in a short period of time, those ATV high-level leaders can still be appeased, and if they want to replace them with their own people, they have to take their time. How did I teach you in the past, if you can change your unpersuadable temperament a little, there won't be so many objections within our Lixin to hand over the group to you to take care of."
Lin Jianle was so young in the end, he was scolded by him like this, his face was also ugly, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he replied stably: "That's those old things who joined forces with him Lin Jianming deliberately wanted to rectify me......"
When his words fell, Lin Baixin's face changed dramatically, and he slapped him in the face, "That's your eldest brother...... You don't know how to be a human being, and you're going to make excuses for yourself. Lin Jianle, let me tell you, in a few months, Qiu Degen will be dismissed and leave ATV, and I am now talking to him about taking all the remaining ATV shares in his hands. Your mother has told me more than once that you have a lot of ideas about managing TV stations, don't blame me for not reminding you, I only give you half a month, and you can solve the problems by yourself. If it's not fair, let me go back to Lixin to study for another three years......"
After he finished speaking, he ignored the few people who changed color suddenly, and turned around and left in a cold and angry voice, letting a few nervous and worried calls come from behind him.
"Dad"
"Old man......"
