Lin Xiaozhi's three words made Zhou Xingchi feel a little strange and a little familiar. The alcohol from last night's hangover was still affecting the operation of his brain, and he quickly recalled for a while, and suddenly a fragment of a memory that had been sealed in the depths of his brain for a long time came out, Zhou Xingchi's face changed slightly, and his voice fluctuated a little.

"But Lin Dong of New Asia Film Company?"

I suddenly remembered the young man who had invited him a year ago. If it is left in the first two years, I am afraid that even if New Asia makes a huge movement, it will be difficult to jump high and attract much attention under the momentum of the three giants of Jiahe, Xinyicheng and Debao, which are at their peak. But this year is different, since entering the RR year, Golden Harvest's investment focus has shifted overseas, the infighting of the three giants of New Arts City continues to ferment, and Pan Disheng, the big financier behind Debao, is unwilling to continue to increase the production funds, and the three giants have reduced production at this time, which also gives other film companies the opportunity to catch up.

New Asia is now in Hong Kong, and under the leadership of Lin Xiaozhi, it has the power to swallow mountains and rivers, and it is powerful to overwhelm the momentum of the old three giants in the film industry. In the past year, whenever he saw this person's name appear in the newspaper, Zhou Xingchi, who was eager to climb up, couldn't help but think, if he had accepted his invitation and gone to New Asia, what would have happened? The answer Zhou Xingchi himself can't answer, but it should be much better than now

Thinking of the tense relationship between him and his mentor Li Xiuxian now, Zhou Xingchi's brows furrowed. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than profit

"Hehe, I'm a little glad that Zhou Sheng didn't forget about me. How's that, do you have time now. I'm near your quarters, if it's convenient, how about I'll have a meal together at noon? ”

"...... Now"

Zhou Xingchi hesitated slightly, he was still very clear about the reason for not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. He Zhou Xingchi is just an actor, he wants money but no money, and he wants no people, this wealthy man is now taking the initiative to contact him, and there is a high probability that he wants to ask him to make a movie. It's just that he knows his own family affairs, and his contract with Li Xiuxian's Universal Pictures will be signed for a few years, and it will not expire until mid-92. When he first entered the industry, Zhou Xingchi didn't know much about making movies, so he signed a harsh long-term contract with Universal Pictures, which laid a contradiction between him and his mentor Li Xiuxian.

He pondered for a while, and then declined: "Lin Dong, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today......

Lin Xiaozhi was a little surprised, he inquired that Zhou Xingchi hadn't taken on any dramas recently, and it was also written in the newspaper that he and Li Xiuxian had some conflicts now, how could they refuse his explicit invitation.

Thinking that he didn't hear the meaning of his words, Lin Xiaozhi had no choice but to put it bluntly, "What, isn't it convenient for Zhou Sheng to be filming now?" We have a recent movie in Xinya, I have seen your previous movies, and the protagonist is quite suitable for you. So, if it's convenient, let's sit down and talk about it today......"

And so it was

As soon as he heard that the owner of the famous film company who had been called out of the future by some media had sent him an invitation, Zhou Xingchi was secretly happy in his heart. But when the promised words came to his mouth, he swallowed them forcibly, and he really wanted to accept Lin Xiaozhi's invitation. But first, he had told his family to help his sister celebrate her birthday together, and secondly, he couldn't decide whether to take on the new movie or not, he signed a more comprehensive contract with Li Xiuxian's Universal Pictures, involving all the rights to shoot the film, according to the contract, all of which were taken away by Li Xiuxian's Universal Pictures, and he did not have the right to choose himself before the contract expired next year.

However, he didn't want to offend Lin Xiaozhi, and missed the second time to cooperate with this wealthy family that has become more and more famous recently. After thinking about it carefully, I had an idea in my heart, and said to him seriously: "Thanks to Lin Dong, I am very much looking forward to cooperating with New Asia." However, I have signed a contract with Universal Pictures, and according to the contract, I have no way to decide to take the film by myself, if Lin Dong is not too troublesome, you can call Brother Xian first and ask his opinion. The reason why it is inconvenient to accept Lin Dong's invitation at noon today is because I have made an appointment with my family to have dinner together in advance, Lin Dong may not know, today is my sister's birthday"

This answer is really impeccable, not only does not offend people, but also highlights his biggest headache now.

There was no filming one night in 19RR, Zhou Xingchi went to play in the Dt ballroom, and happened to meet Li Xiuxian, Li Xiuxian was already a big director in the film industry at that time, so he politely went to say hello, Li Xiuxian felt that this person was familiar but didn't know who Lu Dao was for a while. It wasn't long before he suddenly remembered that this young man was the one who played against Wan Ziliang in "The Journey of Life", and he looked "decaying", he had seen Zhou Xingchi hosting the "430 Shuttle" program on TV, and he was deeply impressed by this person with a vivid image on the screen.

After Zhou Xingchi reported his name to his family, Li Xiuxian asked him if he was interested in trying to make a movie, he was about to make a new play, and he happened to lack a young role. Zhou Xingchi has always wanted to make movies, but unfortunately he couldn't get in, and when he heard that someone appreciated him, he immediately said he was interested.

Li Xiuxian asked him how much he wanted, but Zhou Xingchi didn't want to leave a bad impression on him, and then replied, "With you, Director Li Da, looking for me to make a movie, I don't need money to go." So I auditioned, and it was OK to try it, and this play was "Thunderbolt Pioneer".

However, it was precisely because of his words that he bought the source of the contradiction for his discord with Li Xiuxian.

The contract signed by Zhou Xingchi and Li Xiuxian at that time was a newcomer contract, and Universal Pictures not only arranged a special agent for him, but also took over all his rights to receive and shoot films.

At that time, he didn't understand anything, and it was the first time he broke into the film industry, and the treatment was not bad for him who was still a pure newcomer at that time, so he signed a contract with Universal Pictures. As a result, not only did he have to take 30 percent of his salary, but now he doesn't even have the autonomy to take over other films when Universal Pictures is free. For this reason, he is now a little famous in the film industry, and he has mentioned to his mentor Li Xiuxian several times that he wants to modify the contract, but unfortunately the contradiction between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and now Li Xiuxian is angry and does not arrange a movie shooting for him at all, which makes Zhou Xingchi also panic.

In the past, there was a tragic encounter of his predecessor Liu Dehua being blocked by H, and he couldn't help but worry about whether he would be hidden by Li Xiuxian because of this, and until the end of his contract with Universal Pictures, there was no film shooting.

This time, Lin Xiaozhi, the boss of New Asia Film Company, invited him to film, and Zhou Xingchi's mind suddenly became active. What he said just now was also deliberately done by him, and after pointing out that he had no choice, he asked Lin Xiaozhi to contact Li Xiuxian, which could not only ⊥ him test his mentor Li Xiuxian's current attitude towards him, but also did not offend Lin Xiaozhi, so he couldn't say that there would be one more movie shooting. Although, he still doesn't know what kind of movie Lu Dao Xinya wants to invite him to make.

Lin Xiaozhi didn't know what his little abacus was, and when he heard this, he apologized, and said with a smile: "It's because I'm abrupt, I've been disturbed for a few days." Okay, I'll contact Brother Xian first, and if it's done, I'll contact Zhou Sheng."

hung up the phone, Lin Xiaozhi was not in a hurry to drive away. After finding Li Xiuxian's phone from the business card holder he carried, he called it directly.

"Brother Xian, it's me Lin Xiaozhi"

He has a good relationship with Li Xiuxian, Li Xiuxian is very bold and has always been very popular in the industry. After several celebrations of Xinya before, after sending invitations to him, Li Xiuxian gave face and came to support him in person, so Lin Xiaozhi has always had a very good attitude towards him, and the two have also eaten together, which is not strange.

"Lin Sheng, why do you have time to call me today?"

It's a bit noisy on the other side of the phone, and it seems that there are a lot of people chatting. After a burst of doors opening, the murmur was quieter.

Hearing the surprise in Li Xiuxian's words, Lin Xiaozhi didn't go around the bend with him, and asked directly: "Brother Xian, I have a new movie to make recently, and I want to borrow one of your almighty people to use it, is it convenient for you to watch it?" ”

"Xinya is going to make a new movie again, and you guys are quite fast." Li Xiuxian was surprised that New Asia has already made four films this year, and the quality is not low, only slightly lower than a few film companies in Hong Kong, including the old Big Three. Like his Universal Pictures Company, this year it only shot two movies, "Ambition" and "Heroes", and there are no plans to open new films this year. This speed, compared with Xinya, immediately distinguished.

I admired Lin Xiaozhi a little in my heart, and Li Xiuxian readily agreed, "Okay, anyway, we have no plans to make a new film for the time being, who do you say you are going to use." As long as it's not me, I can lend it to you."

Li Xiuxian is handsome in appearance, and he plays a majestic police image on the screen, so there is never a shortage of women around him. In his early years, he was chased by the daughter of a wealthy family outside the circle, and the two had no children for many years after they got married, and their relationship was stable. What's even more admirable is that he also has a confidante who is more than ten years old, that is, 84-year-old Hong Kong sister Xu Wanwei. Sandwiched between two women, Li Xiuxian will reduce filming to accompany his wife and red face until the end of the year, although he is romantic, he can be regarded as a good man.

Lin Xiaozhi also heard about this stalk, and when he heard it, he was happy, and he knew that he was going to secondment Xing Ye to be considered a success. He immediately opened his mouth and thanked him: "Brother Xian, who doesn't know that you are a good man, and you will accompany your sister-in-law at the end of the year, and you will not disturb your sweet time." I want to use your almighty actor named Zhou Xingchi, because the movie is ready to start, so let's do it, Brother Xian, if it's convenient, I'll go over with the contract in the afternoon, let's sign the contract."

His words silenced the phone for a while, and then he heard Li Xiuxian's voice that seemed to be stiffer, "You want to use Xingzai?" ”

Zhou Xingchi was brought into the industry by him, and a "Thunderbolt Pioneer" made Zhou Xingchi a little popular, not only in Hong Kong but also in Hong Kong, and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor in Taiwan. In all fairness, Li Xiuxian was very optimistic about the young man he had discovered, but one thing he didn't like was that he felt that this young man's spirit was too high, and he was a little dissatisfied. After "Thunderbolt Pioneer" became popular, he immediately found Li Xiuxian and said that the movie was selling well and asked for a red envelope, Li Xiuxian gave him a 50,000 yuan, and he was told to be stingy behind his back, which made him very angry

This year, Zhou Xingchi filmed a "Righteous Heroes" in Magnum, and he helped him connect with two other dramas such as "The Thief's Wife" and "Dragon in the World". Although the box office of the two external movies hit the street, Li Xiuxian still paid him enough according to it, but he was fine, not only complained that he had picked up bad movies for him, but also came to the door to change the contract.

Li Xiuxian has been in the industry for many years, and he has seen too many newcomers like this. The contract is obviously signed, and after a movie is a big hit, I can't bear to make a movie, and my mind is full of how to get more pay. After negotiating with Zhou Xingchi a few times to no avail, he also lost his patience and was ready to temporarily hide him for half a year to sharpen his sharpness.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Lin Xiaozhi ask for him, Li Xiuxian hesitated, he was too full of words before. I want to borrow this meeting and I'm embarrassed to regret it. After pondering for a while, he agreed, "Okay, Lin Sheng, it's no problem for you to use him, it's not convenient for me today, or else, you come over tomorrow morning, and we will sign the contract."

Master Xing got it
