After standing at the dock and talking to Xie Tieli briefly, Lin Xiaozhi knew that it was close to noon at this time, considering that there would be some delays on the road, and when he arrived at a place that was just suitable for dining, he immediately proposed: "Mr. Xie, I think the time is almost noon, everyone should be hungry after staying on the ship for so long, why don't we go and have some lunch first, I have already arranged your accommodation during your stay in Hong Kong, and there will be a special car to send you over in the afternoon."

Xie Tieli originally wanted to introduce some people in the delegation to him, but when the sea breeze blew, he suddenly felt that this was indeed not the place to speak.

Originally, the reception work should have been done by Yindu, but Lin Xiaozhi took the initiative to take over the work, and repeatedly promised that he would take care of the people from the mainland who came to Hong Kong to study in accordance with the previous agreement with the mainland. According to the agreement he reached with the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television when he went north, as long as the mainland sent to study in Hong Kong chooses to study in Media Asia, in addition to the food and accommodation provided by Media Asia, each person will receive a basic subsidy of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per month. Moreover, during the period of study and further study, mainland filmmakers can also get salaries, salaries, and so on.

These promises undoubtedly made Xie Tieli, who met him for the first time, have a very good impression of him, and seeing that he seemed to have arranged everything, he did not shirk at the moment, and agreed after thinking about it.

After receiving people, Lin Xiaozhi and the others naturally would not stay at the dock anymore, and he was very prepared to charter a few buses in advance, so although dozens of people came to the mainland film delegation going south, they could still sit down.

The reception meal was arranged at the four-star Regal Kowloon Hotel, which is also one of the luxury hotels that Lin Hsiaozhi most frequents. In the beginning, he would come here often because of the proximity to his residence. Later, because many celebration banquets and activities of New Asia and Media Asia were arranged here, he became familiar with the hotel, and he and Media Asia had already become VIP users of the Regal Kowloon Hotel, and it was not only more convenient to come here at a more favorable price, but also to make reservations and order meals

"Boss, it's all arranged"

When the group arrived at the Regal Kowloon Hotel in several buses, Ye Weixin, who was sitting in the lounge of the hall and reading a magazine boringly, looked up and saw the group coming, and immediately got up and walked over.

Although Ye Weixin is young, he is talented and has known Lin Xiaozhi very early, and he is the director he focuses on cultivating, not only personally tailoring some scripts for him that fit his style, but also often pointing out some experience in film shooting with him. This time, the mainland film industry sent a team of high-standard inspection groups, and in order to facilitate Ye Weixin's entry into the mainland in the future, he also called him over this time.

Of course, there is another important reason why Ye Weixin is so leisurely, that is, the new movie that Lin Xiaozhi prepared for him before, after more than half a year, finally finished and started post-production not long ago, and with the current process, it will be released in theaters in October at the latest.

His new movie is Lin Xiaozhi's script adapted from a classic black humor novel in the United States - "Fight Club", which has also been adapted into a movie and landed on the screen in later generations, although the box office is not a big hit, but the reputation is very good, especially D is a number that is difficult to reach many blockbusters, and it has won the favor of major film awards, and it is one of the only literary and artistic movies in Lin Xiaozhi's computer before rebirth.

Lin Xiaozhi felt that Ye Weixin was very suitable for making black humor style movies before, he was very sensitive to torture people's hearts and reflect human nature, even if it was a commercial film like "Ip Man" that was filmed in later generations, but the action scenes also relied on Sammo Hung, and the personality charm of the generation of grandmaster Ip Man in the movie showed what he was really good at.

Lin Xiaozhi nodded at him, and he didn't rush to introduce Xie Tieli and the others to him, "Take us over first...

Then he introduced to Xie Tieli: "Due to the trouble of temporary appointment in a five-star hotel, we have to pick up the wind for everyone in this four-star hotel that we are familiar with, some of the specialties in the hotel taste very good, I hope you don't blame Mr. Xie, this is our young director Ye Weixin, who has filmed "Friends" in Europe and the United States, and he is responsible for the contact with the hotel today. ”

Xie Tieli had never seen Ye Weixin, at first he was only a manager of Media Asia, and he was also taken aback when he introduced him, and his gaze at Ye Weixin was also a little appreciative.

"It turned out to be Director Ye, who has admired his name for a long time. I just didn't expect real people to be so young."

This long-admired name is a little watery, but he has indeed heard of the name Ye Weixin. As one of the few directors who can be released in Europe and the United States in recent years and leave a good reputation, Ye Weixin's name has really been heard, and he has also bought a videotape of his movie "Friend", which has received a good response in Europe and the United States.

Ye Weixin didn't know who he was, but seeing that his boss was so polite, he knew that Lu Dao must not be an ordinary person, and he was humble at the moment: "I really don't dare to take this seriously, the script of "Friend" was created by our boss himself, if he didn't guide the shooting, I wouldn't know the preferences of Europeans and Americans at all." Come with me, there are some filmmakers who are also from the mainland, don't make everyone wait for a long time. ”

Xie Tieli was stunned again when she heard this, and then suddenly realized. He did know that Lin Xiaozhi could write scripts, and last year's video of his "Red Alert" was very popular in the mainland, especially the Chinese version provided to Taiwan was simply crazy. But after all, there is a bit of a gap between the mainland and Hong Kong, and after the storm the year before last, the contact was almost severed, and I really don't know that he can not only write the script of commercial films, but also the script of literary films like "Friends". Looking at Lin Xiaozhi at the moment, there was also a bit of respect.

Due to the large number of people, Ye Weixin only told Lin Xiaozhi that the place did not follow the first elevator up. The elevator went back and forth several times before sending all the people to the dining place on the fourth floor. And there, several filmmakers from the mainland have been waiting there for a long time.

"These people are all from the mainland, let me introduce them to you......"

arranged a group of dozens of people to sit down, Lin Xiaozhi and Xie Tieli, Zhang Yimou, Ye Weixin and themselves arranged at the same table, and they also had a few filmmakers from the mainland who came to Hong Kong, as well as two middle-aged people brought by Xie Tieli.

"This is Mr. Li Lianjie, I think you should all know him, he has filmed "Shaolin Temple" directed by Mr. Zhang Xinyan, and this year's "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" is also very popular, and the box office in Hong Kong is currently close to 40 million Hong Kong dollars."

As soon as his words fell, he heard a burst of inhalation and discussion in the hall.

was stared at by dozens of suspicious and envious eyes, and Li Lianjie, who was still sitting on the side, couldn't sit still, so he quickly stood up and waved his hand with a smile: "Luckily, I met Teacher Zhang Xinyan before, and then I met Director Xu Keda." Hello everyone, I'm Li Lianjie."

After saying that, he seemed to be a little restrained, and quickly sat down. Lin Xiaozhi didn't expect that the future kung fu emperor was still a little shy now.

"Mr. Zhang Xinyan's "Shaolin Temple" is not an exaggeration to say that it is an epic for us mainland filmmakers, but I have never had the opportunity to communicate with Mr. Zhang Xinyan before. This time, when I came to Hong Kong to study film, I booked to visit him. I didn't expect to meet you here, little brother, ......."

As Xie Tieli said, "Shaolin Temple" is a milestone epic masterpiece for the mainland film industry, a dime a movie ticket can sell hundreds of millions of box office, and the number of moviegoers of more than 500 million people looks at the entire film history of the world, and few movies can surpass it. Of course, the mainland film "Tunnel War", which has sold more than 1.1 billion tickets so far, is a film that was once rumored to be asking for a world record from Guinness for more than 1.8 billion viewers.

Lin Xiaozhi somewhat guessed why Li Lianjie was a little restrained, he had rejected the invitation of Huanya's "Black Man" before, and this time he personally came forward to invite him to the banquet, which can be said to have given him enough face, Li Lianjie couldn't refuse if he had the heart to refuse, first, he was originally a mainlander, and he was afraid that he would really have a grudge with Huanya in the future if he rejected his face. It's just that I came to the banquet after agreeing, and I'm afraid I'm worried that he would refuse the invitation to "Black Man" before he talked about it, which made me a little restrained.

passed him quietly at the moment, and pointed to Xu Jinjiang and introduced: "This is Mr. Xu Jinjiang, he is a standard Northeast man, I have worked with him in several movies, and he is a very powerful actor."

Xu Jinjiang often plays unsmiling roles on the screen, but in reality he is a cheerful person who likes to make friends very much, he was not happy before, since "Killer Leon" cooperated with Lin Xiaozhi, the rest of the movies have participated, and he is already a male star among the first line in Hong Kong. Recently, "Resident Evil" is also about to be released, although he is not the starring role, but the mercenary captain he plays has a lot of wonderful scenes, and it is conservatively estimated that the salary will have to rise by another one after the release.

The success in his career obviously brought him a lot of self-confidence, and he stood up with a smile and said a few words, and his performance was more chic than Li Lianjie.

"This is Mr. Ji Chunhua, this is Mr. Yu Rongguang, this is Miss Yu Li, and they are all filmmakers who have come from the mainland in recent years......"

There are only a few mainland filmmakers invited to come over today, and when he finished introducing people, Xie Tieli also introduced the two people he brought to the same table to Lin Xiaozhi.

He first pointed to a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties, and introduced: "I will also introduce you to Mr. Lin, my colleagues, this is Mr. Lu Li, the general manager of Beiying Group, and the deputy head of our delegation." He is a top student who graduated from Waseda University in Japan, and previously served as the vice president of China Film Equipment Company ......"

Except for Ye Weixin, who didn't know much about this, several other people, including Lin Xiaozhi, couldn't help but look at the short and thin middle-aged man in awe when they heard this. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in the 70s, the mainland has exported many batches of international students to Japan, obviously this is Lu Li is one of them, who can study in Waseda, a famous Japanese school in the seventies and eighties, no wonder he can serve as the general manager of the Beijing Film Group, which is second only to the party secretary, chairman and two vice directors, and there is no president for the time being).

That Lu Li greeted everyone with a smile, but didn't say much.

As soon as he sat down, Xie Tieli pointed to another man who was not good-looking, and even a little ugly, and said: "As for this one, he is the other deputy head of the inspection team, and he is also the new director of Beijing Film Studio, Mr. Han Sanping."

The tone is a little colder than when Lu Li was introduced before, but Lin Xiaozhi didn't know that Beijing Film Studio occupies an important position in the merger of Beijing Film Group, so after the merger, the senior management of Beijing Film Studio was directly transferred to Beijing Film Group to hold important positions, and as a result, the position of director was vacant. Originally, there were two young juniors among the competitors who were also actively promoting the market-oriented reform of Beijing Film Studio, and Xie Tieli was more optimistic about Lu, who would have expected that Han Sanping would suddenly be appointed as the director of Beijing Film Studio.

Because it is reported that this unattractive man, who is not yet forty years old, got the position of director of Beijing Film Studio by filming a movie called "The Story of a Great Man" this year and won the praise of the central bosses, which made Xie Tieli's impression of Han Sanping not good for the time being.
