Since I had already known the approximate number of people coming to Hong Kong, I booked a side hall with a total of seven tables in advance, and arranged a table with less than ten people at all, which was not crowded.

Regal Kowloon Hotel is worthy of being a well-established four-star hotel in Hong Kong, although the chef is good at Fujian and Cantonese cuisine, occasionally two dishes are not also Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, the taste is sweet and greasy, the dishes are all seafood, not as salty, spicy and fragrant as the northern dishes, chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs. However, many people from the north still ate with relish at the reception banquet, which shows the craftsmanship of the rich Kowloon chef.

In order to satisfy the group of people from the north and south, Lin Xiaozhi spent a small amount of 100,000 yuan just for a meal. The dishes on his seven tables are all high-end sets specially prepared for the wedding banquet by the rich Kowloon, and one table costs 8,808, not counting the drinks. Although Hong Kong is a place full of gold, it is not something that anyone can afford to consume, and most of it is used to satisfy some middle- and high-income families.

However, this money is really worth it for Lin Xiaozhi. Not to mention what he learned from Lu Li, the general manager of Beijing Film Group, who went south to inspect together, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television finally nodded and agreed to the good news that Beijing Film introduced three films from Media Asia to the mainland for release, and among the dozens of mainland filmmakers who were sent south to study in Hong Kong by the mainland, Lin Xiaozhi really has many acquaintances.

Hu Jun, a powerful actor in the future mainland who just graduated from the Beijing People's Art Theater this year; RU and RR won two mainland Hundred Flowers Award actor in a row, and Jiang Wen, whose friendship with Zhang Yimou has not deteriorated at this time; Ge You, a future bald actor who was recommended by Zhang Yimou and had not yet become famous at this time; In the name of studying, I heard that Senior Lu, the leader of the sixth generation of directors of the future Republic of China, who is preparing to come to Hong Kong for treatment, and Chen Daoming, the future cold-faced actor, and so on

The big-eyed beauty Chen Hong is here, and she is the most beautiful among the actresses who went south to study. Zhang Yimou came, naturally his little lover Gong Li was indispensable, although the scandal between this woman and Zhang Yimou was widely spread in the mainland, but no one could deny her acting skills and fame, but she also got a place to go south. Zhou Xun, who was just discovered by Xie Tieli this year, followed by him who had just finished filming the movie "Tomb Desertion" adapted from "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", was also in the ranks of exchanges and studies in the south. Gong Bei, who was born as a child star and is still studying at the Central Academy of Arts this year, doesn't know how Lu Dao got a place. At this time, Yu Feihong, who had not yet starred in "Xiao Li Flying Knife" and "The Sword of the Third Young Master", left one of the top 100 classic roles on the screen of the Republic in later generations, also came.

And what Lin Xiaozhi can recognize is that there are seven or eight other actors, screenwriters, and directors who will also be active in the second line of mainland film and television in the future. He can only say that whether this list is selected by the mainland intentionally or unintentionally, it can undoubtedly be seen that the mainland side is looking forward to going south to Hong Kong to exchange with Asia this time. is either a powerful faction that has become famous, or a future junior with unlimited potential, and the mainland really has a lot of expectations.

However, for Lin Xiaozhi, who has always been eager to open the mainland market and has planned to use a large number of mainland actors, it is simply fat sent to the door, how can there be any reason not to eat it.

At the end of the reception banquet, Lin Xiaozhi didn't care about his identity, and personally commanded the entire southbound delegation to settle the group of people sent by the mainland to study and exchange, and then dragged his tired body back to the company. Although today I heard from Lu Li, the general manager of Beijing Film, that three films will be introduced from Media Asia to be released in the north, it is impossible for him to come to the door to talk on the first day of going south, and the efficiency of state-owned enterprises is not high after staying for a long time.

Sure enough, although he mentioned this matter at the banquet, Lu Li almost never took the initiative to talk to Lin Xiaozhi in detail on the first day of his arrival in Hong Kong, so he could only temporarily press the excitement in his heart and began to think about which three movies should be recommended for release in the mainland.

Prospective fiancée Li Jiaxin doesn't know what's wrong with Lu Dao, and she hasn't been in a good mood since the drinking party with Lin Jianming. The woman who was very clingy to him in the past actually went back to accompany Li's mother before, and it took more than a week to come back. Rao is Lin Xiaozhi has been busy lately, and he has also noticed her eccentricity.

Because he had promised her that he would marry her within the year after the release of "Resident Evil", he asked her twice but saw that she was in a worse mood, and he only regarded it as a premarital phobia before marriage, and didn't think much about it. But after half a month, although he saw a smile on her face again, he could still tell the difference between a real smile and a pretending smile, and he had nothing to do today, so Yu Crisp took advantage of the rare free time to ask her out to go shopping and watch movies. Of course, what they want to see is not a self-produced film from Media Asia, but a film from the former Hong Kong film overlord New Arts City.

"Want some popcorn?"

Holding Li Jiaxin's waist, Lin Xiaozhi walked into the theater hall with her in his arms.

Burying his cheeks in a bouquet of roses in his arms, Li Jiaxin raised his head when he heard the sound, but shook his head, "Don't, let's go in"

"Hmm"

Zhilu said that she likes romance, this time Lin Xiaozhi specially asked Huang Baiming to help and chartered the afternoon session of the entire screening hall of one of Princess Jin's theaters, just to accompany her to watch a movie.

Speaking of which, today is really thanks to Huang Baiming's help, otherwise it would be difficult for him to complete the charter. There's no way, because just today a movie that is very important to both the Golden Princess and the New Arts City is about to start premiering, and this movie is exactly what Lin Xiaozhi and they are going to watch today - "Best Partner U"

In the past few years, because of the shareholding battle of the new art city, the three giants Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Shi Tian were inseparable, and even the series of movies "Best Partner", which brought infinite honor to the new art city in the past, became one of the victims.

At the beginning of 87, Mecca proposed to invest 40 million to shoot "Best Partner 5" to suppress Golden Harvest in the summer of the coming year. However, due to the high investment, Huang Baiming refused to write the script for "Best Partner 5", and was unwilling to agree to the 7 million salary offered by Xu Guanjie's agent. Later, after Mecca cut the investment to 30 million and then to 20 million, he reluctantly agreed to start filming, but still did not agree to continue to invite Xu Guanjie, but insisted on inviting Zhang Guorong, another cheaper and younger singer, to take over his class as the leading actor. The disagreement between the two led to the fact that the movie could not be filmed as soon as it was filed.

The choice of director is also the reason for the tragedy of "Best Partner 5", Mecca wants to bring back the most talented directors of the former seven-member group, Zeng Zhiwei and Xu Kezhong. However, when the seven-member group broke up in the past, his relationship with the two of them was very bad, so he asked Shi Tian to send an invitation on his behalf. Zeng Zhiwei first agreed to go back to his parents' house to take over the play, but left because of a disagreement with Huang Baiming on investment. Xu Ke refused to take over the filming of "Best Partner 5", forcing Mecca to finally find Liu Jialiang in charge.

Although Liu Jialiang is also a well-known director in Hong Kong, he is too old, he is best at the martial arts scenes of the 70s, and it is enough to let him supervise the filming of martial arts movies, and let him shoot adventure action movies like "Best Partner" is to find death. The main reason why the first part of "Best Partner", which he was the director of, was successful in the past was that Zeng Zhiwei and another director, Lin Lingdong, were in charge of the drama and plot, and he only needed to design the fight scenes.

However, Huang Baiming and several other screenwriters who had written scripts for the "Best Partner" series in the past found excuses and were unwilling to continue for it, although Mecca only spent one million on his former love and invited Xu Guanjie to promise to make a cameo in the movie, but in the script, he could only ask his friend Zeng Guoci to make a move and hurry up to make a tragic "Best Partner 5".

In the end, "Best Partner 5", which was born under the tragedy of the triumvirate's infighting, became a major tragedy for the 89 Chinese New Year, and the box office money of 20 million was not earned and lost its reputation, and "Best Partner" was also regarded by some people as a sign of the decline of the new art city.

At the beginning of this year, Lei Juekun's son Lei Qizheng turned the tide, and after becoming the Golden Princess, he quickly showed his youth and courage different from his father, and decisively kicked out Shi Tian, one of the Big Three, and replaced the most important of the Big Three, Huang Baiming and Mecca, to ease the contradictions, and straighten out the contradictions between the Golden Princess and Xinyicheng in a short period of time.

At the beginning of this year, stimulated by Lin Xiaozhi's spending of 50 million to shoot "Red Alert", and Media Asia announced that it would spend more than 100 million yuan to shoot "Resident Evil", Xinyicheng finally raised a huge amount of money to shoot "Best Partner U". This play was jointly written by Huang Baiming and Mecca, and Zhong Zhentao of the Wenner Band and Zeng Zhiwei were invited to take over from Xu Guanjie and Mecca, the former golden combination of Xu Guanjie and Mecca, who had just passed away and had no intention of taking over the play, to form a new 'best partner,'. At the same time, I heard that there are many powerful movie stars joining, and the scene is also very grand.

In a hurry, "Best Partner U" is better than "Resident Evil", and finally caught up with the end of the summer release, Golden Princess, New Arts City and even the entire Hong Kong film industry are now paying attention to this sequel to Hong Kong's most famous film series in the 80s, and even some media regard it as a key battle for whether the new art city can turn over, but they are really not wrong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the current new art city is as prosperous as it, Lin Xiaozhi is also looking forward to this movie that came to this world because of his butterfly effect.
