"Uncle Ming?"

Lin Xiaozhi was slightly flustered, obviously he didn't expect that Lin Jianming, who basically had no intersection with him, would take the initiative to find him here. But the door is a guest, not to mention that the two are still somewhat related. At that moment, Lin Xiaozhi stopped going out and invited him in, "Come in and sit, Uncle Ming." You just took up the post of vice president of ATV, I thought you would be busy lately, so I didn't bother you for a long time, but instead I let you come......"

Lin Jianming smiled, and his eyes kept falling on Zhou Huimin, who led the way. Hearing Lin Xiaozhi speak, he nodded and said, "This is Ah Zhi, you have a heart, I was really busy in the past few weeks." ATV is in transition right now, and there are so many things that I need to deal with. ”

Lian Lian was reluctant to take his eyes off Zhou Huimin, he saw that Lin Xiaozhi was already dressed, and after a turn of his mind, he knew that he was going to go out, and said at the moment: "It seems that it is not the right time for me to come, are you going out?" ”

“…… It's none of your business here, go get busy."

Lin Xiaozhi saw that his eyes kept falling on his glamorous secretary, and he felt unhappy for no reason. However, his face remained silent, and he whispered to Zhou Huimin, who was waiting on the side, and the woman nodded softly and left his office, before replying: "It's a coincidence today, a movie invested by our New Asia is released." Hehe, I'm not afraid of Uncle Ming's jokes, I'm also one of the directors of this movie, and I play the ticket. The merchant sent a few tickets over, and I'm going to go over and see them today. If the results are not too bad, I can also send a few to Uncle Ming."

"You have a heart" Lin Jianming replied absentmindedly, and he was still reluctant to look at Zhou Huimin away, until her figure was out of sight, and then he turned around regretfully. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he teased him with a strange face: "...... I said Ah Zhi, you kid has the vision to keep such a punctual girl by your side. ”

When he saw that there was no one around him, he didn't seem to be as majestic as he was in front of others. In Chaoshan culture, three wives and four concubines are admired, and in ancient times, it was believed that if there were no groups of wives and concubines and full of heirs, it would be a manifestation of unsuccess and failure. Now, although the polygamy system has been abolished in Hong Kong since the 70s, Lin Baixin, who was born in Chaoshan, has owned hundreds of thousands of pieces of furniture from scratch to the 50s, and the family has basically grown up in a luxurious life. Not only did Lin Baixin have four wives and concubines, but the eldest son Lin Jianming was good at gambling and fun, and the second son Lin Jianle was especially good at hunting, and women were indispensable around him.

Don't look at Lin Jianming, who is already middle-aged, and he has been unable to succeed Lin Baixin for a long time, in order to vent his grievances and abundant energy, he has not been less like young people to linger in cocktail parties, nightclubs, vanity fairs, small jasper, wealthy ladies, workplace beauties, female college students, what kind of women he has never seen or played. But just now, the moment he saw Zhou Huimin, Lin Jianming was also thrilled by her beauty and temperament, and he realized that he had played with so many women, but he had never seen such a superlative.

When his words fell, Lin Xiaozhi felt a little more unhappy in his heart, and his brows were slightly furrowed and he didn't want to talk about his topic. Although he didn't know what his cheap uncle was doing when he came to him, Lin Xiaozhi's impression of him was undoubtedly much better than Lin Jianle, who had made him stumble, so he also had the heart to get closer to him.

was using his brain to find a topic, and suddenly saw the 3rd day on the hanging March calendar on the wall next to him, which was circled by a black oily signature pen, and thought that he was about to go out to the theater to catch the premiere of "Midnight Bell". At that moment, I had an idea in my heart, so I heard him say, "Uncle Ming, it's really a coincidence that you will come." It just so happens that a new tertiary film on my side has just been released, and your nephew and I are not close to the director, but also played a role in the movie. How about it, I have a few movie tickets given by the theater here, such a good opportunity today, let's go and see it together? ”

"Oh?"

As soon as he said this, Lin Jianming really forgot about Zhou Huimin, and he became interested: "Ah Zhi, you also made a movie?" Also an actor? ”

Obviously, his attention was focused on Zhou Huimin, and he didn't hear what Lin Xiaozhi said clearly.

"Yes, how about it, let's go over together" Lin Xiaozhi smiled and sent out the invitation again.

Lin Jianming thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The two walked out of the ATV building together, but they didn't go to the Toyota in the parking lot of Tyrin Takachi.

"Take My Car"

Mr. Lin is ATV's new vice president, and his car is parked directly in the underground parking lot beneath the ATV building.

Although Lin Jianming was not as favored by his father as his younger brother, he also made Lin Xiaozhi aware of what it means to be a real son of a wealthy family.

"Boss ......"

Downstairs, Lin Jianming just dialed a phone call, and a few minutes later, Lin Xiaozhi saw a sturdy man in his thirties in a suit and leather shoes quickly drove the car from the underground parking lot to the entrance, let the rear get out of the car and respectfully open the door for the two, and let them board the Rolls-Royce sedan.

Sure enough, compared with Lin Xiaozhi, who was born in an ordinary family in the previous life, Lin Jianming, who grew up in a rich family since he was a child, knows how to enjoy life better.

After getting into the car, maybe the driver was Lin Jianming's henchman, he was more open than in the ATV building, loosened his tie knot, the whole person fell into the soft leather seats, and his voice was a little lazy, "I haven't thanked you yet, Azhi, I heard from my father that you strongly recommended me to serve as the director of this ATV."

Although the words were words of thanks, Lin Xiaozhi heard a sense of unconvincing and anger from his words.

Lin Xiaozhi was puzzled, but seeing that his anger didn't seem to be coming at him. Only then did he speak: "That day, Uncle Jiu suddenly called my father and asked me to come over. I went over in the evening and chatted with Uncle Jiu for a while, only to learn that Uncle Le was very unhappy with many people in ATV's senior management some time ago, so he intended to change a new director. I thought that Uncle Ming's ability would definitely be competent, so I recommended you. Where is the strong recommendation, Uncle Ming said with a smile, Uncle Jiu must be very fond of you, otherwise he will choose you......"

He knew that the relationship between the two brothers was very bad, and they could still be maintained in front of Lin Baixin, and they were like passers-by behind him, so when Lin Jianle was mentioned in front of him, Lin Xiaozhi behaved very politely, as if Gen did not have such an uncle at all.

Lin Jianming's face suddenly looked ugly for a while, and soon changed back. He smiled and nodded to Lin Xiaozhi, and he didn't know if Lu Dao was also dissatisfied with Lin Jianle, or something else.

"You, compared to your eldest brother Ayi, you are too modest. I've seen Ayi a lot in the past, but this kid hasn't grown much in the past few years. It was you who surprised me and my dad. Some time ago, I heard my dad say, Ah Zhi, you invested in a few movies and made a lot of money, and after changing hands, you took down all the film companies under ATV, which is amazing, amazing. When you Uncle Ming and I were so old with you, how did you understand these?"

Seeing that he secretly belittled his eldest brother Lin Xiaoyi in his words, he just smiled slightly and didn't answer. The wealthy family is the most ruthless, but Lin Xiaozhi has an interest in the Bank of Kowloon, but he knows that the old man and his father have already chosen the eldest brother as the heir, and he has never had any illusions from the beginning, so naturally he doesn't think it's a pity. What's more, in less than a year, he has earned nearly 30 million, which is better than the bank that has a big hole in his own house, and has to tear down the east wall every day to make up the west wall.

Lin Xiaozhi's short silence made the car quiet for a while, but soon Lin Jianming quickly realized that he didn't want to talk about this topic, and immediately found a new topic and said: "We will be able to see your movie in the cinema soon, Ha Luha, great talent, the next time our Lin family dinner, I believe you will surprise everyone, it's really exciting."

"Hehe, Uncle Ming is joking, I'm just a poor toss in the nature of playing tickets, where can I compare to you"

In '89, Hong Kong has almost gotten out of the adverse effects of the stock market crash in '87, and its economy has made great strides forward. Affected by this, the performance of the film box office market is particularly obvious, in January and February, the total box office in Hong Kong is close to 200 million Hong Kong dollars, reaching a high of 100 million. Among the films released in January and February, five works with a box office of more than 10 million and one blockbuster movie with a box office of 30 million were born. So despite stepping out of the Lunar New Year stalls, Lin Xiaozhi still has certain expectations for the box office in March.

In Hong Kong, where the people are open, the market potential of local small-cost Fengyue films should not be small, and Hong Kong has given birth to many Fengyue films with more than 10 million yuan, and the cost is only a few million. Needless to say, the plot of "Color is Empty" should be able to get a good response among young people.

The car carried the two men and quickly arrived at their destination.

The cinema they went to on this trip was a large cinema under the name of Debao Cinema Line - Lisheng Cinema.

The Lisheng Cinema is one of only three cinemas with three screens, and the only cinema located in the most prosperous area of Hong Kong Island. Lin Xiaozhi feels that the geographical location here is very superior, so there should not be too few moviegoers, and it will be a good lever to measure the popularity of "Color is Empty" on the first day.

The car stopped directly in front of the cinema, and after Lin Jianming told the driver to park the car nearby and wait for him to call, the two got out of the car and walked to the theater. Debao arranged the release time of "Color is Empty" is very good, March 3 happened to be Friday, the last day of the week, and after work, especially after the arrival of prime time in the evening, major theaters will usher in the craziest box office surge.

But now, it's almost ten o'clock in the morning. Because the first broadcast of "Color is Empty" was during working hours, there were not many audiences who bought tickets in the ticket hall of the cinema.

Approaching, a huge banner hung in front of the movie theater.

"Do you know what youth and love are? Stay tuned for "Color is Emptiness", a movie that will make you smile and cry"

Lin Xiaozhi looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, the banner was very eye-catching, Lin Jianming also saw it clearly, he was a little surprised He glanced at Lin Xiaozhi and said: "Ah Zhi, I didn't see it, this movie theater takes good care of your Xinya movies"

He just smiled, all these things were made by him at Xinya's own expense, and Debao just gave a few calls to inform the movie theater below to cooperate with them.

"Uncle Ming, it just so happens that I have two movie tickets here, but don't worry, there are still ten minutes before the movie starts, let's go to the poster wall over there and have a look" He took out two movie tickets in the front row from his pocket, gave one of them to Lin Jianming, and then took the lead in walking towards the poster wall.

Lin Jianming came to see the movie at his suggestion, so he naturally listened to his arrangement. The two walked a few steps quickly, and standing in front of the poster wall, they saw more than a dozen different posters posted on it, among which New Asia's earlier release of "Can't Help It" was still on it.

Lin Xiaozhi's eyes swept over the poster of "Can't Help It", Ye Yuqing on the poster was still so charming and delicate, he only stayed for a moment before turning to other directions, and saw the largest poster wall in the center facing the entrance, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curved an arc. Lin Jianming praised it, and it turned out that there were four large-scale posters hanging on the largest poster wall.

The first picture is at the entrance welcome ceremony of the male protagonist specially restored and filmed in the later stage, the male protagonist was embarrassed to hold a basin of floating cigarette butts, pepper and many other unknown objects, and he looked embarrassed to drink it; The second is the male protagonist holding a mouse to his mouth, and the door is slowly opening behind him, and he is about to touch him; The third is composed of four small pictures, which is the male protagonist peeping at the female protagonist when he was eating in the dining hall, and the male protagonist dodged when the two looked at each other, while the female protagonist had a cold and murderous face; The fourth picture is a picture of the four male protagonists wearing only a pair of shorts as a cowherd in a nightclub.

At the top of the four pictures, there is also a newspaper with a paragraph written, "The most beautiful and cruel love, all expectations are in "Color is Emptiness""

Originally, Xinya also made a lot of promotional posters, but unfortunately the movie theater was not opened by them after all, so it was naturally impossible to give up all the poster walls for them to promote, so they could only distribute them, and some were distributed on the poster walls of major theaters

On the poster wall, not only the two of them were watching, but also a few people were watching, and most of the people's eyes were attracted by the four most eye-catching posters in the middle of the poster wall, but few people spoke, and after looking at it for a while, most of them silently walked to the ticket office.

“…… Dali, are you sure that Fei Ni's (Yuan Jieying's English name) new movie is a tertiary film? ”

Not far away, two young men with thick-bottomed eyes who looked like they were nineteen or twenty stood together, pointing at the poster in the middle of which Yuan Jieying looked at the actor with cold eyes.

"It's not wrong, didn't you read what the newspaper said before, Ah Ying was forced by an unscrupulous director to shoot dew point and bed scenes"

The other little fat man lowered his voice and replied, and after speaking, he looked around carefully, and when he looked at Lin Xiaozhi, who was standing not far from him, he saw that his face was stiff, and he hurriedly pulled his companion and walked towards the ticket office.

"Adolescence" sighed a little in his heart, Lin Xiaozhi smiled and shook his head, the happy girl group used to be the most popular girl group in Hong Kong, and there was no one. Yuan Jieying undoubtedly has unimaginable influence in Hong Kong, especially among the younger generation, and chose her to make this movie, it seems that Lin Xiaozhi has pulled many of her fans into the theater to watch the movie, hu

"It seems that you Xinya are very prepared this time."

Although he rarely watches movies, at this time, he is slightly analogous to the works of his nephew film company, and the works of other film companies enjoy completely different treatment, and he immediately understood that this is what he said is a work with tickets.

Lin Xiaozhi was just about to say a few words modestly, when he suddenly heard the sound of a horn on the wall.

"The Al screening hall and the H screening hall are about to screen the new movie "Color is Empty", please go to the entrance of the screening hall to check the ticket immediately and enter the movie in an orderly manner."

I found that several people who were standing in front of the poster wall around them were watching, and after hearing the announcement, they suddenly ran to the ticket office to buy tickets as if their buttocks were on fire. Lin Xiaozhi suddenly felt a lot better, smiled and took out the ticket and signaled to Lin Jianming: "Let's go, let's start soon"

"Hmm"
