"Here, it's like a giant ship that is about to run aground, and aspiring filmmakers are all embracing the mainland."

"I don't say what they really think in their hearts, at least on the surface......"

Through the car window, looking at some buildings with a sense of age outside, Lin Nan couldn't help but say.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've come here to film, haha......" Zhu Yawen laughed at herself.

"Who isn't?"

"Yes."

"Huh? I saw the huge posters of "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor". ”

Shu Chong pointed to the giant billboard in the distance and shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

""Dragon Gate Flying Armor" will be released here a week later, and "Thirteen Hairpins" will also be delayed for a while.

However, I don't think these two films will do well on Hong Kong Island. ”

"So sure?"

Liu Yifei didn't believe Lin Nan's words a little.

When they set off to Hong Kong Island, the two films earned more than 30 million a day in the mainland.

"Xu Ke's film is off track. "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" puts the cart before the horse, blindly pursues technology, and weakens martial arts. This is very different from the traditional martial arts films in the minds of Hong Kong Island audiences, and the ending is doomed. ”

"As for "Thirteen Hairpins"...... Do you think the audience here will enjoy this kind of war history film?

Even a group of filmmakers are seriously lacking in historical common sense, let alone ordinary audiences. The history education is different, and it is completely unlikely. ”

Hearing Lin Nan's explanation, several people suddenly realized.

On the one hand, the film and television industry here is relatively conservative, and Xu Ke's movie this time is too "breakthrough".

On the other hand, there are historical reasons...... Therefore, "Thirteen Hairpins" is on Hong Kong Island, and it is very likely to suffer a cold reception.

…………

A big mainland director and his crew came to Hong Kong Island to shoot a film.

This is also a rare thing in the Hong Kong Island film and television entertainment industry. How could the Hong Kong media let go of this kind of news.

"Lin Nan, the director of the Golden Lion in the mainland, led the crew to be the main creator, and arrived in Hong Kong today."

"The movie "Genius Gunman" will be filmed in the SAT test center......"

"The cast includes first-line actresses Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan, and first-line actor Zhu Yawen ......"

……

From the moment they got out of the airport and got into the Emperor's extended Rolls-Royce, Lin Nan and others found that they were followed by many paparazzi.

"Mainland reporters are not so blatant, there are at least three cars behind them, and there are signs of different newspapers and periodicals."

Luo Jin counted it carefully, and then couldn't help but complain.

The car drove all the way to the Peninsula Hotel, known as the "Far Eastern Lady".

At the beginning, Lin Nan won the second Silver Bear Award for Best Director, and when he returned to China, he came to Hong Kong Island to talk about "Ip Man".

It was here that Ying Huang picked up the wind for Lin Nan and held a cocktail party, and this time it was still the case.

Huo Wenxi had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw the car stop, he walked over with a smile on his face.

"Director Lin, Yifei, welcome to Hong Kong. Let's hurry in, Yang Dong is inside. ”

"Thank you, Director Huo, for letting you wait outside." Lin Nan said politely.

"It should be, it should be."

Huo Wenxi led the way, half a position ahead of Lin Nan, and laughed. The rest of the men followed.

Shu Zhan hugged Liu Yifei's arm and whispered:

"Alas, it's still Producer Liu who has a status, you and Lin Nan have titles, and we are summed up in the word 'everyone', tsk tsk......"

"Well, I'm very careful at this time."

Liu Yifei nodded Shu Xuan's forehead and said with a smile.

"Oops, you nodded my head again, you knocked me stupid......"

…………

"Director Lin, please take a seat."

Yang Shoucheng wore glasses and said with a smile, looking a little elegant.

But in the industry, you can never think that he is a Sven, this is a predator, a meat eater.

"Yang Dong, I've been waiting for a long time. Let me introduce you. ”

"Haha, no, I know it all. These three are all outstanding young actors in the mainland, and there are not so many outstanding young people on Hong Kong Island......"

"Yang Dong is good."

……

Today, Yang Shoucheng only brought Huo Wenxi, originally Lin Nan thought that the other party would bring a group of artists, but it seems that he was thinking too much.

It wasn't until halfway through the reception banquet that Lin Nan knew that he was still hasty, and he still came.

"Director Lin, there is a drinking party at night, I don't know if it is inconvenient for you?"

"Sure enough." Lin Nan complained in his heart.

Liu Yifei, Shu Zhan and others also looked at Lin Nan with inquiring expressions.

"Well, they are all filmmakers in the Hong Kong circle, and a few days ago they asked me to ask Director Lin if he was free, everyone wants to make friends......"

Lin Nan remembered that at the time of "Ip Man", he participated in a drinking party with Yinghuang, and then he had no intersection with this side.

He glanced at Liu Yifei beside him, who nodded his head.

"Okay, Dong Yang will arrange it."

Zhu Yawen and the others also looked eager to try, and Lin Nan simply made a decision for them.

"Okay, Wenxi, you can notify that side later."

"I see, Yang Dong."

An hour later, the meal ended.

Ying Huang arranged a room at the Peninsula Hotel for Lin Nan and the others, but Lin Nan refused.

The crew has already arranged a hotel, and a few of them are going to live here, which is too high-profile.

……

"This time, Director Lin has a lady by his side, so don't come to those who like to drink and are prone to drunkenness, or find someone to show me some ......"

"Okay, Yang Dong."

……

In the car, Lin Nan sent a message to Liang Jiahui, and then received a text message from Liu Dehao.

On Hong Kong Island, the few people who are familiar with Lin Nan know that he has arrived.

"Go and see what the difference is in the drinks on Hong Kong Island in the evening."

Zhu Yawen stretched her waist and muttered.

"More naked than the mainland." Lin Nan replied.

"What do you mean?"

"There is a clear distinction between dignity and inferiority, and the hierarchy is strict, which is more intuitive and chaotic than in the mainland......

Of course, it shouldn't be like this tonight, Yang Dong is measured. ”

Hearing Lin Nan's words, several people nodded stunned.

"Well, you can go back and visit the nightlife of Hong Kong Island, I heard that it is very famous......"

"You're a guy with a girlfriend, take it easy." Luo Jin quipped.

"Hey, how can you tarnish my innocence out of thin air?"

Zhu Yawen glared, learning the tone in the drama "Kong Yiji".

"You'd better take it easy, you just go to those places and do nothing, and the news in the mainland will also designate you."

Lin Nan looked at Zhu Yawen and smiled.

"Yes, according to the Hong Kong media paparazzi's writing, it is: Zhu Mouwen, a first-line actor in the mainland, is looking for joy on Hong Kong Island and spending money like dirt ......"

Shu Zhan also joined the ridicule team.

Only a whisper came from Lin Nan's ear: "Director Lin, have you also been there?" ”

…………

The end of the first week.

"Thirteen Hairpins" was released for four days and hit a box office of nearly 150 million in the first weekend, becoming the champion of the mainland film market.

And "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" also followed, getting 130 million, but it was never able to catch up with the footsteps of "Thirteen Hairpins".

In the eyes of the film industry, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year stalls has been completely set up.

The pressure on Bona at this time is relatively small, after all, at the Cannes Film Festival, the copyright of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" sold very well.

But the new screen is different.

According to this box office data, it is impossible to reach 1 billion box office, and there is a big shark like "Pacific Rim" behind.

You must know that a large part of the investment amount of "Thirteen Hairpins" is from bank loans.

One of the collaterals is the film copyright of "Thirteen Hairpins", and the lender only has new pictures, because Zhang Weiping only wanted to eat alone at that time......

"How's the box office in North America?"

Zhang Weiping asked in a low tone, his voice trembling with a hint of trembling, and he could barely suppress the fear and worry in his heart.

The assistant opened his mouth, not daring to speak.

"Say!"

"According to the data from the North American distributors, the box office is currently less than 150,000...... Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, come and ......"

……

"There is no other way to terminate the contract with the new picture, but to file a lawsuit. Ni Yi, you have to be mentally prepared......"

…………

Yinghuang's cocktail party.

Many celebrities from the Hong Kong circle have arrived, and the scene is really hierarchical.

You can see who is in what circle at a glance, and you can see humble and flattering faces everywhere.

"It's more direct than the mainland, there are people who rub oil and play hooligans on the spot!"

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin stood together, looking at the scene in the distance, a little shocked.

"It's like drinking too much at first glance, and this one has always been notorious."

Luo Jin glanced at Zeng Zhiwei in the distance and said disdainfully.

Lin Nan was chatting with Liu Dehao at this moment. Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan were two of them, and they were tasting dessert on the side.

"Congratulations, Brother Hao, I will be a father in a short time."

"Haha, thank you. After so many years, I'm going to be a father, and I'm very happy. ”

"By the way, what did Wensheng tell you just now, I think it should be a good thing, right?" Liu Dehua asked rhetorically.

Lin Nan remembered Wen Jun and the others just now, and shook his head a little speechlessly, all of them were from the Academy Awards Organizing Committee......

"They want to ask me to participate in next year's Hong Kong Island Film Awards. Brother Hao knows, "Genius Gunman" meets the requirements. ”

Hearing this, Liu Dehao was silent, this kind of thing, it is inconvenient for outsiders to say more.

Lin Nan did not give a clear answer, only said that the progress of watching the movie was decided. He is actually resistant in his heart, because the operation on Hong Kong Island is the same as that of the Golden Rooster, and it is often very magical.

It would be disgusting to use his movie as a stepping stone for newcomers if it was bad. This kind of thing, they don't do less!

"Forget it."

Cheng Long took his son and arrived late.

Liu De glanced at it, chuckled and teased: "Hahaha, I guess I found it from the 'flowers' again." ”

"Director Lin, Andy, it's too late, it's too late."

Cheng Long walked over with his trademark smile.

"Big brother's "Zodiac" is finished?"

"Not yet, when the New Year is over, I still have to shoot for a few months......"

……

Just as several people were chatting lively, there was a scream on the side, and the scene was chaotic in an instant.

Liu Yifei pulled Shu Zhan, and the two hurriedly hid next to Lin Nan.

I saw that Zeng Zhiwei, who had drunk too much, threw out a few wine bottles casually and smashed them three meters away from Lin Nan, splashing fragments on the ground.

And he himself is not idle in his hands, he is grabbing a female artist on Hong Kong Island and forcibly pouring alcohol, well, his shirt is torn......

Yinghuang's people have already surrounded him.

"Is there anything wrong with the two of you?" Lin Nan was a little worried about whether Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan were splashed with debris, so he pulled the two of them up and down and asked eagerly.

"We're fine, we're just taken aback." Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan shook their heads and said.

On the side, Cheng Long and Liu Dehao's faces were a little unsightly, this person was embarrassed.

"Director Lin, don't worry about that goods, Yang Sheng will deal with it." Liu Dehao whispered.

Lin Nan glanced at it, and sure enough, he saw Yang Shoucheng surrounded by several people and walked over with a sinister face, where is there still the elegance of the daytime.

Zeng Zhiwei has been held down by several bodyguards.

"Slap", "Slap"......

Yang Shoucheng slapped him out a few times, and it hurt to look at it.

This Yinghuang boss is not young, but he looks a lot stronger, and the drunk one has already swollen and completely turned into a pig's head.

"Send it down to sober up!" Yang Shoucheng's face was cold and he said sharply.

Then he looked at Huo Wenxi beside him, "Wenxi, you have derelict your duty......"

…………

"Director Lin, I'm sorry, I let you see the joke, hehe......"

At this time, Yang Shoucheng changed into a kind and elegant appearance, and he couldn't see the anger just now.

Lin Nan admired it in his heart, this face-changing kung fu deserved to be a big man in the circle for many years.
